Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

After seeing Dr. Wen and Bai Yixuan off, Lü Yongchang, with a gloomy expression, led everyone back to the laboratory.

The campaign got off to a bad start.

Zhu Ziwen's expression was also not very good.

As the person in charge of the exoskeleton armor project, the test footage he just saw was clearly not what he wanted to see.

This is only under the case of 1.5g equivalent gravity.

If we were on a super-Earth, under a gravity of 1.9g...

Zhu Ziwen found it hard to imagine such a scene.

For the average person, walking normally shouldn't be a problem.

However, if the movement is slightly more intense, such as sprinting or jumping, the huge overload generated in an instant might be enough to make them faint.

Zhu Ziwen frowned, trying to come up with a solution.

Or... should we reduce the performance of the exoskeleton armor?

The thought that his hard work would ultimately be reduced to a "large-sized power cane" made him feel like his heart was bleeding.

Are there anti-G suits inside the starship?

Suddenly, Lü Yongchang spoke up and asked a question.

"Anti-G suit?" Zhu Ziwen paused, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "What's that?"

"There are no corresponding reserves in the warehouse," Zero's voice rang out at the same time. "Should we manufacture this resource?"

Lü Yongchang looked somewhat helpless.

With the advent of deep-sea cabin technology, the old-fashioned anti-G suit became obsolete.

The little remaining stock was probably lost in Mars City.

As for Zhu Ziwen, it's normal that he didn't know about this.

How could a new generation born from Proxima Centauri b possibly know about outdated equipment from Earth's era?

He first gave Zhu Ziwen a brief explanation of the anti-G suit, and then prepared to give Ling the order to manufacture the anti-G suit, but was interrupted by Hong Fan's shout.

"Professor Lü! Yes!"

"We have anti-G suits!!" Hong Fan, who was following behind the group, quickly walked to Lü Yongchang's side and said with a slightly excited expression.

Lü Yongchang was slightly taken aback.

Do you have anti-G suit?

Hong Fan nodded excitedly: "Yes! There's another set!"

Seemingly noticing the confusion in Lü Yongchang's and the surrounding crowd's eyes, Hong Fan quickly explained, "Professor, do you remember the first generation of Xuan Nu No. 1?"

Lu Yongchang's eyes flickered slightly, and a look of realization dawned on his face: "You still have that anti-Korean suit?"

Hong Fan scratched the back of his head somewhat shyly and said in a low voice, "Just to keep as a souvenir!"

"That was, after all, the beginning of the true rise of the Xia Kingdom."

Lü Yongchang was somewhat moved.

He exhaled a long breath and patted Hong Fan on the shoulder with a sigh of admiration: "Not bad."

"Go, bring your anti-G suit, we'll conduct another experiment."

Hong Fan's expression immediately became much more serious. After saluting Lü Yongchang, he turned and left the laboratory.

……

Half an hour later.

The laboratory doors opened again.

Wearing an anti-G suit, Hong Fan slowly walked into the laboratory.

The anti-G suit is entirely silver-white.

Compared to today's tight-fitting spacesuits, the old-fashioned anti-G suits from hundreds of years ago look extremely bulky.

The red accents on the shoulders and chest of the anti-G suit immediately evoked memories for many of the older generation of researchers present.

Lu Yongchang stared blankly at the bright red flag, muttering to himself, "How nostalgic..."

I vaguely remember that he was involved in the design of this anti-G suit.

In an instant, countless faded images flashed through his mind.

The Xuan Nu I spacecraft rose into the sky, its red flag fluttering above the moon. At the joint meeting, the old chairman of the council spoke with great confidence and authority…

"Professor," Hong Fan gave another crisp military salute and said in a deep voice, "I am ready!"

Seeing the resolute expression on Hong Fan's face, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath, his expression also becoming serious: "Has the anti-G suit been inspected?"

"All functions are still working properly!"

"Professor, I have faith in the standards of manufacturing in China." Hong Fan replied without hesitation, his tone firm and resolute.

Upon hearing this, after a brief moment of surprise, Lü Yongchang's face broke into an incredibly bright and proud smile: "Let's go, to the gravity chamber!"

aside.

Zhu Ziwen stared blankly at the scene before him.

Although it was somewhat difficult to understand what was happening before my eyes.

But a subtle feeling stirred within him.

As Zhu Ziwen watched Hong Fan, who was swollen and strode towards the gravity chamber, a thought flashed through his mind.

I'll check the historical archives again in a few days.

Go and take a look at the Earth era... human civilization.

……

Inside the gravity chamber.

The second round of testing has begun.

Soon, the test progressed back to the Moiré somersault.

Under the worried gazes of Lü Yongchang and a group of researchers, Hong Fan successfully completed the entire set of movements.

The moment he landed on the ground, like Bai Yixuan, his face was slightly pale.

However, with the help of the anti-G suit, he successfully survived the sudden increase in G-force.

The test continues.

Faced with a series of highly difficult maneuvers, the anti-G suit's effectiveness became fully apparent.

Hong Fan, panting heavily, successfully completed all the test items.

Amidst applause, he controlled his exoskeleton armor, plopped down on the ground, and calmed the discomfort in his body.

Suddenly, his gaze paused.

Perhaps because the movements were too intense, the red flag on his chest was covered in wrinkles.

His consciousness stirred slightly.

Controlling the exoskeleton armor, she carefully raised her hand and gently smoothed it out.

……

Shipborne Laboratory No. 1

Looking at Hong Fan, who had changed his clothes, Lü Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.

"According to you, even with anti-G suits, this exoskeleton armor is still only suitable for soldiers with good physical condition."

"Ordinary people still can't withstand such exaggerated acceleration."

Hong Fan nodded repeatedly.

Thinking of the overload sensation he hadn't experienced in over a century, a hint of lingering fear appeared in his eyes.

Even with the anti-G suit, he still felt what Bai Yixuan was feeling when performing one of the movements.

The sudden blackout was caused by a large amount of blood flowing to the legs, resulting in oxygen deprivation in the brain.

Fortunately, the anti-G suit took effect in time, otherwise... he would probably have ended up like Captain White, visiting Dr. Wen.

Lu Yongchang was naturally unaware of Hong Fan's thoughts.

At this moment, he was talking with Zhu Ziwen.

"Remove all unnecessary functions."

"We need a civilian version of exoskeleton armor."

"Is it possible?"

Zhu Ziwen nodded with a wry smile.

As expected, it couldn't escape this nerf.

"Don't worry, the military version will still use the original exoskeleton armor." Lu Yongchang patted Zhu Ziwen on the shoulder and comforted him softly. "As for the production line, Zero is already making preparations."

"Let's take a two-day break and start the next project."

"What project?" Zhu Ziwen's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Lu Yongchang looked at Zhu Ziwen in front of him with a half-smile.

"You forgot?"

"Those weapon modules..."

Zhu Ziwen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Professor, don't worry, the civilian version of the exoskeleton armor will be ready soon!"
