Pirates: From the Planet to the Starry Sky

Chapter 170 Mechanical Exoskeleton and Individual Mecha
According to the progress of Vinsmoke Gage, the construction of four ordinary artificial devil fruit assembly line factories can be completed in one month.

At that time, Richie's subordinates will produce forty ordinary animal devil fruits a month.

Relying on this kind of ability, Richie can completely form a team of animal-type devil fruit ability users. With such a team, even facing the navy, Richie now has a certain confidence.

"Your Highness, this is my research for a while."

In Rice's research institute, Rich saw the research results of Rice during this period.

First of all, the head-on is the fourth-generation mechanical exoskeleton armor.

This generation of armor is not much different from Iron Man's armor. Not only is it carried by a full-body alloy armor, but it is also equipped with a new generation of electric knife and simple artificial intelligence.

"Your Highness, I have made adjustments to the new generation of mechanical exoskeleton armor based on the technological discoveries from the remains of the lunar people and the people from the living stars."

There is a sense of confidence in Lace's tone. In fact, every scientist is full of confidence in the results of his research.

This is true for Nasri, who developed mechanical prosthetics and lycanthropy prosthetics, and Vinsmoke Gage, who developed artificial devil fruits.The same is true for Reis now.

In front of Rich was a team inspecting equipment.The entire equipment, the whole body is tight alloy armor, and there is a half-meter-long electric knife on the arm.

Normally it can be contracted, and it can be stretched out during battle. Such an electric knife, strengthened by high temperature and alloy, can easily tear apart ordinary tank armor.

However, due to energy issues, there is a small backpack-like battery pack behind the mechanical exoskeleton armor.

But for ordinary soldiers, opponents wearing such armor are very difficult to deal with.Ordinary armor-piercing projectiles cannot penetrate such armor.

Introducing the functions of the new generation of mechanical exoskeleton armor for Rich, Reis took Rich to the next test site.

"However, the mechanical exoskeleton's self-enhancement is naturally not as strong as the original body. This generation of mechanical exoskeleton armor is only equipped for middle and lower-level soldiers.

As for the high-level equipment, I have jointly developed a new generation of enhanced suits with the memory metal and enhanced suit technology in the hands of Director Jiaji. "

In this proving ground, the soldiers are wearing reinforcement suits similar to clothes, and some parts of the reinforcement suits are equipped with external pendants.

"Compared to the mechanical exoskeleton armor, the enhanced suit is more convenient to move and summon, and can be directly turned into a wrist guard when not in use.

Moreover, the new generation of reinforced suits is not weaker than the mechanical exoskeleton armor in terms of defense. The only disadvantage is that it is too expensive. "

Reis pointed to these soldiers and introduced them to Rich.

"The consumption of a set of enhanced suits is enough to produce ten pieces of mechanical exoskeleton armor, so these enhanced suits are only used for middle and upper-level officers.

Moreover, I specially installed some external pendants around the reinforcement suit. According to everyone's preferences, you can install arm blades, sharp claws, or heavy machine guns, external armor, etc. "

"Ah."

Richie nodded and continued walking.

Then came a very tall individual combat mech.Every mecha now is seven meters high, very close to a human figure.

The individual combat mech not only has a machine gun, but also a huge assault rifle, as well as new alloy knives and alloy daggers.

And in terms of defense, according to Yixiao's gravity ability, a magnetic shield was developed.

A shield surrounded by a small thing like a doorknob, but after the interior is charged, there will be a burst of magnetic force to block all objects.

It's just that this magnetic shield is not perfect, it is an experimental product, and cannot be installed in troops.

At this time, in the training ground, a soldier was driving this individual combat mecha, conducting combat trials.

For example, shooting, progressing fighting, accelerating raids, retreating and so on.

From the outside, this kind of individual combat mecha is already very proficient. Under the control of an ordinary soldier, it can completely match the combat ability of an ordinary navy headquarters colonel.

"Very well, Reis, you did not disappoint me."

Ricky smiled.

"Individual combat mecha, mechanical exoskeleton armor, enhanced suit, you have given me a big surprise."

"Not only that."

Reis also smiled.

"Except for these, I still modify the existing armored vehicles and tanks, as well as weapons such as artillery.

According to the new technology we have mastered, the combat capability of the new generation of tanks and armored vehicles has increased by [-]%, but the manufacturing cost has dropped by [-]%. It is completely possible to deploy troops on a large scale immediately. "

"It's very good."

Rich laughed.

"The deployment of a new generation of weapons, coupled with the fleet implementation of the army, in the future, the strength of our army will definitely be the top in the world."

"Your Highness."

At this time, Dr. Yue Jian, who was in a research institute with Lace, came.

Except for Dr. Yuejian, there are Lieutenant Spacey and four robots by his side as Dr. Yuejian's assistant and bodyguard.

"Doctor, what's the matter with you?"

Richie asked.

"Your Highness."

Dr. Yuejian said unhurriedly.

"According to the research on the lunar spacecraft, we have mastered a new high-thrust engine technology and new energy.

This is a particle engine that can make a huge spacecraft move forward at one-tenth the speed of light. At this speed, we can completely move in the star system. "

"but."

As he spoke, Dr. Yuejian's words suddenly turned around.

Hearing this, Rich also knew that Dr. Yuejian needed resources. During this period of time, Dr. Yuejian had approached Rich several times, and each time Rich had approved a large amount of funds and supplies.

"Now, the material and energy source of this engine requires a mineral. I didn't find too many minerals during the mineral exploration in the Rock Mountain Kingdom. It needs to be manufactured by Your Highness."

"It's simple."

Richie breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately.

"I'll go to the warehouse right now. I'll keep as much as you want."

From the description in Dr. Yuejian's mouth, Rich knew that this kind of engine is very important, enough to support the launch ship's activities in the star system.

How could such a thing be rejected.

"However, regarding the research, it is also thanks to the element research of the little girl beside me. Without her element table, my research speed would not be so fast."

Dr. Tsukimi said, and praised Carolina from the Institute of Chemistry and Microcosm.

For Dr. Yuejian's admiration, Rich said with a smile.

"Carolina's research, although it doesn't seem to be very useful, is indispensable for all kinds of research. This time, I will give him the resources she needs."

"Ah."

Dr. Yuejian nodded and continued.

"Regarding His Highness's artificial satellite, the finished product has now been produced."
