Chapter 622 Light Prism Sniper Armor (5800, first update)
As soon as the seriously injured Bai Zhimin was discharged from the hospital, he went directly to his research room and refused all outsiders to conduct closed research. This is also an interesting anecdote for those who pay attention to Ian.

At the beginning, they were a little unclear about Ian's research direction, but soon, knowing that the young man is now concentrating on researching various special potions, and even cooperated with the Flint Group to start researching armor, everyone became happy.

——Obviously, after being affected by the aftermath of King Tianhong just now, he decided to give himself a set of equipment with strong enough defense after learning from the pain, right?

To be honest, some overreacted.

After all, how can the armor resist the aftermath of the fourth energy level?

But everyone understands that people who have recovered from a serious illness and narrowly escaped death are in a moment of spiritual sensitivity. It is really normal for Ian to vent his anxiety through research.

Moreover, this kind of reaction also made Ian's image a little more real... They were willing to believe the reality they saw and see a flawed person.

However, anyone who has really seen Ian's research process and witnessed the gradually forming armor understands.

It's not about venting or overreacting at all.

Ian is serious.

Terra 773, January 10st.

Half a month after Ian returned from the territory of Avak, the spiral spire area.

The Spiral Spire District is the lower part of the imperial capital managed by the Ledria family. This area is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is a normal residential area. There are gourmet restaurants from all over the empire, and it is said to be the best in the entire empire. ice cream shop.

The owner is said to be a butterfly from Icewind Dale. The family-owned maple honey ice cream and hazelnut vanilla ice cream are very popular.

The underground is the heavy industrial park of the imperial capital, which is the industrial pillar of the imperial capital along with the double ring area. It has a complete production line for alchemy vehicles, armored vehicles and complex spiritual equipment. Most of the armor of the imperial capital is also produced here. In addition, similar industrial machine tools and alloy production and processing are mostly here, with a defense layer that can resist the attack of the fourth energy level powerhouse.

of course.

There will also be an armored experimental base here.

In the suburbs, the light in the experimental park is always the same.

The open flat ground is full of gravel and large pieces of rock that should be used as targets, and several long straight line traces caused by acceleration and deceleration can be seen in the distance.

The towering sand dunes were purposely piled aside, they should be targets for testing some kind of powerful weapon, and occasionally some traces of melting, frost, or electric shock can be seen.

An old man with white hair but extremely tough lines sat on the observation tower in the center of the experimental park, observing the situation of the whole park with a telescope.

Anna Tecumseh, the lucky one who survived the Battle of Leap and the Battle of Blood Desert but came back alive.

It's a bit of an understatement to say that, after all, not everyone can survive the two major battles of the empire against the Fortress of the High Ridge and Flameland - that requires not only luck, but also extraordinary skills .

Especially as a land combat armored driver, Anna spent his combat career basically under the roar of enemy artillery fire and enemy armored engines. His driving skills and combat skills, as well as the most important luck are all called above is excellent.

It is precisely because of this that he has the strength of the second energy level with the support of the military. When he retired, his military rank was the lieutenant colonel of the second armored force of the empire. After retiring, he found a job in the armored experimental base. Carry out advice and guidance, assist in the leisure work of observation.

Casual is true, but too casual.

Compared with the endless emergence of various new types of armor during the war and the period after the war, in this peaceful age, all kinds of research funds are tilted towards aerospace armor. Even if there are occasional changes in land combat armor, there is nothing too new.

The daily work is either reading the newspaper or drinking tea, which really makes this veteran feel bored.

But now, following the public opinion propaganda in the past few years, Anna also keenly feels that the war is coming...

A few weeks ago, Prince Mikael's declaration of war preparations had already affected the army. From soldiers to officers, and even high-level troops, they all smelled blood and military exploits.

It has been more than two weeks since the Grand Duke of Sorin has received any news, which is exactly the same as that of the Avak. The guy wouldn't hesitate to take a shot and nibble a piece of the Empire's flesh.

But no one is afraid of this.

Soldiers are preparing their weapons and equipment. The armored driver patiently inspects every part of his car. The alcoholic officer has also begun to rearrange his appearance. The northern army, which was almost corrupt, has also begun to reaffirm military discipline time and time again. importance.

All are spontaneously preparing for war.

Peace has been too long, and the sublimation group supported by the empire urgently needs a victory to gain further credit for itself. The people need a victory in a foreign war to satisfy their pride and accumulated anger, and the high-level also needs a victory. War to unify internal thinking.

Everyone realizes that war is bound to start, and just recently.

It is precisely because of this that a lot of new armors have gradually been tested on the experimental base, and Anna is finally not boring.

It just has to be said that as an elite soldier who has personally experienced the two major battles, the many experimental armors that are being tested now cannot make Anna's eyes shine-it is nothing more than adding a few more armor plates and changing the power group. , or added some new weapons.

This cannot be said to be bad, but it is easy to see through at a glance and lose its freshness.

Just like the fiery red armor that is being tested next to it, veterans can see its specific data at a glance - [-] meters high, [-] meters wide, an improvement of the classic fifth-generation bipedal humanoid land combat armor The model weighs eleven tons, and its armor should be made of Crimson Kite alloy, which has strong impact resistance and high heat absorption capacity, and the leg structure has undergone a huge change.

Its main weapon is an 88mm rapid-fire gun and two 150mm cannons. It uses an Avalanche-[-] alchemy furnace with a maximum speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour. It can continue to fight for four hours with a full load of elemental crystals. If there are additional Fuel tank life can be increased by two-thirds.

Compared with the fourth-generation armor, the revolutionary difference between the fifth-generation armor and the fourth-generation armor lies in the operating system.

In addition to the bone control system, the fourth-generation armor requires manual assistance to operate some finer actions. The driver can't even fully accept the signals from the body sensors and cameras, and needs to use his eyes to see the screen and index.

The fifth-generation armored bone interaction system allows people to fully coordinate with the body, without looking at it, and can directly receive information with the brain. As long as they are trained, even ordinary people can control it like they control their own bodies. Armoured.

As for the sixth-generation armor that is only serving the most elite troops today, in addition to the improvement of mobility and armor, it also has an information network system. It is said that patrol knights are the trial points for this technology. With this system loaded, the feedback is quite good, and it is expected to be promoted to the whole army in the future.

"The modification is not bad."

Anna sat on the observation platform, looking at the fiery red armor from a distance. It should be an improved model developed by a certain workshop on the basis of the fifth-generation armor. If nothing else, it was an experiment of the Southwest Army Corps. The machine is specially prepared for the hot-melt warhead newly equipped by the Feiyan Army.

If the actual combat effect is good, it is time to prepare for the development of the sixth-generation aircraft of this type.

The fiery red armor deftly moves around in the sandy environment. Its special leg structure can be folded, allowing it to transform into a humanoid tracked chariot that moves at high speed, raids and strikes the enemy's rear positions, and can transform into a humanoid combat vehicle when needed. In human form, it uses a heat ax for close combat.

This deformable structure is obviously also a reserve experiment for the technology of the sixth-generation aircraft.

In addition to this crimson armor that can deform, there are actually many other armors that are being tested in other areas of the experimental base, but there is nothing new.

"It seems that there are no other new products today."

Ana commented in his heart that it was considered lucky to be able to see the test of the deformation system, and there were not many workshops that mastered this technology.

But at this moment, he received an application, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Ellen family? Platinum workshop? Private armor? Wait, I remember, aren't they specialized in bioalchemy and reproductive equipment? How did they come here?" this?"

"And private armor... what new things did they develop?"

Feeling a little puzzled, Anna approved the application.

This was the first time he saw something like personal armor in the past month.

He wanted to see what surprises the Ellen family could come up with.

But the result, maybe a little too much of a surprise.

Accompanied by a low rumbling sound, Anna saw a huge and weird heavy armor striding towards the experimental area with the momentum of a road roller.

It looks extremely ferocious, with only a single red electronic eye as an observation device on its head. On its burly body, the cold electronic eye is rotating left and right, observing this strange park with a look of disdain.

The huge steel monster skeleton is still the standard model of the fifth-generation land combat armor, but its armor has been extra thickened, and there are strips of high-strength plastic pipes on the inside leading to the cylindrical storage compartment on the back, and a small one on the shoulder. The caliber supercharged muzzle, the heat dissipation holes on the arms and the back are continuously emitting white steam, lingering around its body.

"what is this?"

Anna took a deep breath. He stood up and observed carefully, making sure he read it right: "Wait, this...isn't battle armor?"

The gray-haired veteran was immediately shocked by the thick black armor and the aura of walking, but when he observed carefully later, he found that this cyclops-like armor was not equipped with any weapons.

To be precise, it is not equipped with any conventional weapons.

It is simply an extremely complicated fusion monster: the pressurized cabin on the back is refitted from the high-pressure water jet device of the Imperial Fire Armor, and the same is true for the pressurized water cannon on the shoulder, but it does After a more complicated modification, there is a weird prism focusing structure at the muzzle, and I don't know what it is used for.

And its armor was also modified from the heavy armor of the Northern Legion's shield guards. This five-layer composite armor could barely resist the impact of the alchemy cannon, at least it could save the driver's life.

Its observation system should be a unique new technology. Anna has never seen such a flexible one-eyed observation device that can rotate and focus at will. Just now, he had the illusion of looking at that eye and being locked.

It might not even be an illusion.

Of course, the strangest thing is the armored power system... Its power system should also be the Avalanche Type III Alchemy Furnace, but it has been modified in a very special way - its source power will follow the power of the body all over the body. Pipes, like blood vessels, spread to every corner of the body.

And this source quality transmission pipeline all over the body seems to vaguely form a special inscription circuit... but it is not like a defense, but to increase something.

Anna didn't understand the significance of this modification at first, he just frowned, observing that this one-eyed armor, which seemed to be a stitch monster, but seemed to have something new, was undergoing maneuver testing in the experimental field.

This aspect is very average.

The maneuverability of heavy armor is generally poor, but Anna can tell that the driver is very experienced. Even though a heavy armor is heavy, it can perform precise operations that only light armor has. At least ten years of experience Driving age.

But the next scene stunned everyone in the experimental park, including Anna.

Boom——As the white jets ejected from the many nozzles on the One-Eyed Armor, an obvious pumice reaction made the armor begin to suspend in mid-air, and then slowly rise to dozens of meters under the action of the jet power system. low altitude.

- it can fly!

"Is it a pumice engine? No, it's just an auxiliary... But this thing can fly?!"

Anna opened his eyes wide. It is not news that the armor can fly, but it is real news that a thing that is obviously heavy armor for land warfare can fly smoothly!
The one-eyed armor performs some rigid maneuvers in mid-air, and its power system is obviously not prepared for aerial combat. Even if it can fly, it can only perform simple ascent and translation.

But this is enough beyond everyone's common sense - why can it fly? !

"Wait, is that the new system?"

Relying on the second energy level's keen sensitivity to the source quality, Anna noticed that the blood vessels on the surface of this armored body, which seemed to be a little unclear, are now operating the source quality in a certain order... It is this source The quality, combined with the water source quality inside the armor, stimulated the reaction of the pumice stone, and allowed it to use jet maneuvers!
The alchemy furnace core and the driver coordinate and resonate, exerting far more efficiency than a single armor with a driver!

"Yes, it is the ability to enhance the driver! Borrowing the power of the alchemy furnace to enhance the driver, or to increase the armor of the driver - this technology has long existed, but it has not been paid attention to because of the efficiency of use!"

"However, this armored new system can efficiently increase some of the special abilities of the driver at the beginning of the design!"

Although it is a bit cumbersome to set the corresponding pipeline route in advance for each ability, it is not a problem at all compared to the effect.

This is an extremely special brand-new system, although it is very simple, but it makes Anna feel very novel.

The veteran's eyes are all bright, and he can now fully see that the blood vessel-like origin tubes on this one-eyed armor are distributed in imitation of a certain sublimation ability on the driver's body. In a short period of time, this armor can increase a certain ability of the driver several times!
The increase just now is obviously the flying ability of the goblin blood!

At this moment, Anna saw that the signal light beside her flashed red three times.

It's about to start weapons testing.

The heavy-duty armored alchemy furnace core floating in mid-air was running at full speed, emitting a buzzing sound that could be faintly heard even a few kilometers away. Its body surface lit up with circles of incomparable inscription circuits, and then moved towards the shoulder. The supercharged muzzles converged.

The specially designed reaction device is no longer what it used to be, just attacking with water pressure.

The alchemical potions on the back of the armor merged, staggered, and then reacted... The panite solution, the flame potion, and the glimmering grass extract were fully fused under the ultra-high pressure reaction, releasing energy, and then releasing pure light and heat , focusing at the muzzle prism—

Nourishes...

A straight beam of light burst out, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, it instantly hit a sand dune in the distance.

collapse! ! !
Accompanied by the release of the ultra-high pressure, the scorching and dazzling beam of light disappeared after a rapid burst. To launch again, one needs to wait for the charge of the pressurized chamber, which takes about two seconds...but no one pays attention to this.

"The light is on the top—"

Anna leaned forward, standing on the observation tower overlooking the sand dune in the distance——accompanied by the fleeting golden-red beam of light, a lava area was silently melted out of the hit hill, and the magma Water waves generally spread and rippling on the hills, and the hot twisted air spread around.

A small half of the dune was melted.

If it hits an ordinary tank and armor, without mirror coating, the power of this blow is enough to instantly kill it!

But unlike alchemy cannonballs, which also hit and kill, the hit rate of this supercharged beam cannon can almost be said to be hit when you see it!
No wonder this armored observation device is a new type, it was originally designed to fit its weapon system!

Anna is very annoyed by the rules and regulations of the experimental base - there is no video crystal panel around him to record all this!

On the other side, the test has been stopped, observing the sound of a distant call from the black armored Crimson Kitten in the sky.

[Do you think the Crimson Kite Alloy with heat-insulating coating can block the heat of the beam? 】

The experienced driver was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Well... there is difficulty, unless there is an elemental shield. This technology is very similar to the melting warhead on Feiyandi, but it has no entity... …We probably need mirror finishes more than materials.”

[...Interesting, which workshop is this new?If such a powerful beam of light is used on space armor...]

The conversation did not continue.

Because soon, this flying heavy armor began another shooting test.

This time, the test was continuous irradiation with low power.A simple description is that there is only 'nourishing', but there is no final burst that releases the power of all the potions in one breath.

But this continuous exposure can last for a long time.

The golden light beam continued to irradiate for about ten seconds, carving out a standard circle on the sand. Although it didn't look as powerful as the previous attack, Anna felt creepy.

——Not to mention the driver's ridiculously accurate shooting accuracy and control... Even low-power irradiation has an almost instant-killing effect on unarmored non-sublimator units!

Ten seconds of continuous irradiation is enough to cause a considerable amount of damage!
And that's not the end.

The signal crystal panel beside Anna lit up again. This one-eyed armor was applying for twenty moving targets. The veteran swallowed and agreed.

Bang, bang, bang—twenty frisbees flew out from the target launch port, drawing different trajectories in mid-air.

And in mid-air, the one-eyed armored one-eye precisely locked on each frisbee, and then fine-tuned the muzzle on the shoulder, and began to perform multiple ultra-short-time irradiations.

Accompanied by the continuous slight blasting sound, fifteen of the twenty frisbees melted on the spot, while the remaining five didn't penetrate because the energy of the medicine fired in a single shot was not enough. black.

The hit rate is [-]%.

"Automatic aiming?! It's just a fantasy!"

After Anna realized this, she couldn't even describe her emotions with shock: "No, this is the driver's operation—how fast his eyesight and reaction speed are, and how precise the operation accuracy is, he can perform twenty times in an instant. Aim and shoot?!"

And now, he finally understands the true nature of this weird armor...

——This is the sniper armor!
It has heavy armor, can fly, can shoot continuously, and can carry out precision strikes on multiple targets... sniper armor!
God damn sniper armor!
Inside the Cyclops armor, the white-haired pilot looked at the flying saucer target melting and dripping in mid-air, and smiled slightly.

"The Prometheus prism works well, and the power of the light prism meets expectations."

He whispered to himself: "The Cyclops furnace core is operating at 89%, which is close to the limit... The power system needs to be strengthened, but it is enough."

"Overall, perfect."
