Start with a blacksmith shop

Twelve people came to the airport, looked at the two Z-8s ready for departure, and boarded the plane in two groups.

Riding in the helicopter again, for the twelve people, it felt like a century had passed.

They had no missions in the past six months and had no contact with helicopters anymore. With a touch of novelty, they felt extremely comfortable sitting on the butt-shaped seats in the cabin.

After the excitement wore off, someone started chatting in their communication channel, and the chat was still related to Chi You's exoskeleton.

"Captain, we got a powered exoskeleton this time. Is it the same as the one we have now?

I am particularly interested in the powered exoskeletons optimized by the manufacturers. I don’t know what the differences are with the ones we use now. "

Xiao Falcon was the most curious one in their commando team. He couldn't help but asked their captain on the way to the Nine Provinces Divine Beast.

The captain also fell into deep thought about Xiao Falcon's question. He himself was also very curious about what the manufacturer's optimization would look like.

Ever since the moment he received the news last night that he was going to Jiuzhou Divine Beast to take over the equipment today, his mood had never calmed down.

Because he knows that the powered exoskeletons they have now are only the most rudimentary products produced by manufacturers.

"I can't think of it either. We'll know when we see the real thing. Everyone, please stop talking and cheer up.

And pay attention to what's going on around you, our mission this time is top secret! "

After speaking, the captain himself became serious, and the other team members, like the captain, began to become serious.

The guns in their hands were also checked. As long as there was an accident on the road, they might shoot at any time.

The two Zhiba pilots looked at the longitude and latitude of their destination on the instrument and flew towards the location of the Kyushu mythical beast.

After more than an hour of flying, they arrived at the sky above the Nine Provinces Divine Beast from their base.

The pilots looked at the runway below for planes to take off, and they felt very lucky in their hearts. There is no more peaceful way to land than landing on the runway.

When the commandos arrived above them, Li Zhenhua also heard the unique sound of helicopters overhead in the workshop.

He knew that the call he made to Wang Yuesheng yesterday had worked. The person who should have come to receive Chi You's powered exoskeleton armor had arrived.

Hearing the sound of the helicopter, he walked out of the workshop and walked towards the test flight ground.

When he walked to the test flight ground, the two helicopters in the sky also landed on the runway and walked towards the helicopters. As he approached Zhihachi.

The Zhiba's cabin door opened, and the special operations team members filed out of the cabin and quickly lined up in front of the plane.

Twelve fully armed teams, carrying a full set of light and heavy weapons, lined up neatly and appeared in front of his eyes.

He walked towards the queue, and when he came closer, one of the school officials walked out of the queue and came to him.

The two greeted each other without exchanging too much greetings. They confirmed that the other party was indeed here to take over the power armor, and then he led the team towards the workshop.

This heavily armed team formed a unique sight as they walked in the Jiuzhou Divine Beast Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

Fortunately, the nature of the aircraft manufacturer determines that their appearance will not have any impact. Otherwise, if they appear in costumes like this anywhere in Kyushu, it will make people think.

Li Zhenhua took twelve people to his workshop, led them to twelve large black boxes, pointed at the boxes and said.

"In these boxes are the things you need. You can take them away directly afterwards. As before, there are specific instructions inside!"

The captain followed Li Zhenhua to the workshop, but the scene before him was somewhat different from what he imagined.

The scene he imagined was that twelve Chi You powered exoskeletons were in an empty room, surrounding a semicircle and waiting for their reception.

But what about the reality? There were twelve large black boxes over two meters long arranged neatly together, but not a single powered exoskeleton was seen.

The captain, who was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him, turned to look at him with dull eyes, then looked at the black box, and then asked him.

"Is this the equipment we are going to take over this time?"

"Yes" Li Zhenhua nodded.

"Don't you need to teach us how to use it on the spot? Just leave it to us? Okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Since you have used the first generation Chi You, you can use this optimized Chi You just as well. They all operate in the same way. There is nothing special!"

His answer was really beyond the captain's expectation. The captain thought that Li Zhenhua would open a box and teach them how to use it!

But the reality was very harsh. Li Zhenhua didn't follow the direction set by the captain at all, so the captain could only nod his head.

"move"

He then issued an order to the team members who were still lined up neatly.

Soon the queue was no longer orderly, and every two people walked towards a box. When they reached both ends of the box, they started to lift the box with all their strength. However, the weight of the box was unexpected by the people carrying the box.

None of them expected that the box would be so heavy. It didn't mean that they couldn't lift it, but it was just a bit difficult to lift it.

Each of these boxes contains a Chi You powered armor. The weight of each box is not light. The Chi You powered armor weighs 165 kilograms, and the boxes outside also weigh 15 kilograms. Along with the boxes The total weight of the tools and other equipment is 190 kilograms.

On average, no one is sharing the weight of 95 kilograms, which is close to 200 kilograms. No wonder it makes them feel a little strenuous. Don't forget that these team members are now fully armed.

Although it is heavy, it can still be lifted, and each group of people still insists on carrying it towards the door of the workshop.

Twelve people went back and forth twice before carrying all twelve boxes to the door. Li Zhenhua waited until all the boxes were carried to the door before he mentioned that there was a manual hydraulic forklift in his workshop.

Looking at the captain and the others with some embarrassment, he pulled out the hydraulic truck he owned.

The captain looked at the hydraulic truck in front of him and felt like he was on the verge of tears. He and his team finally moved twelve large boxes out of the workshop. Only then did the owner tell you that he had the tools.

The captain now wanted to vomit three liters of blood to express his current grief and indignation.

Later, with the help of tools, their efficiency in carrying boxes was significantly improved. Twelve large black boxes were carried onto two straight eights.

Then he took off in front of him and flew towards the original direction. After the plane flew away, Li Zhenhua walked back. As he walked, he took out his mobile phone and called Wang Yuesheng directly.

"Chief, the box is on its way. The two Zhiba just took off less than five minutes ago."

Then he heard Wang Yuesheng's familiar voice coming from his cell phone.

"Okay, I understand. The ministry will pay you 100 million through Norinco's account tomorrow. This is the cost of Chi You's power armor. Don't think it's too little. Military expenses have been tight recently due to the replacement of J-36s, and then they became more abundant. The ministry will make up for it for you."

100 million was accounted for, which Li Zhenhua didn't care about at all, and this money could actually offset the twelve Chiyous at cost price.

Anyway, he didn't lose any money, he just put in some effort, and this kind of work happened to be what he was interested in, so it didn't count as effort.

"Okay, I understand, chief, but what you asked me to do is a bit childish, isn't it? Why do you want me to embarrass these soldiers?

It had to be carried manually from the workshop to the door! "

Hearing him asking questions as if complaining, Wang Yuesheng immediately explained to him.

"Actually, it's just a small test. It allows you to embarrass them. It just tells them that this equipment is not easy to come by and makes them cherish it."

Listening to this explanation, I don’t know what others think. Anyway, he can’t understand it. Why can’t he just say it? This method must be used.

He was not interested in knowing how the army trains soldiers. He chatted with Wang Yuesheng for a few more words before hanging up the phone. He then returned to his workshop and built a powered exoskeleton for his own use.

The two Zhiba planes that returned to the base were flying back to the base quickly.

The commandos sitting on the plane were very curious about these big black boxes installed on the plane. At that time, they had a desire to open them, but they knew that they were on the plane and were not suitable for unpacking.

Every team member endured their curiosity along the way, and after another hour, they finally returned to the base.

The two Zhiba landed at the base, unloaded the boxes from the plane, asked the ground crew here to borrow a car, and then carried the boxes back to their home base.

When they returned to the warehouse, the brigade commander had already been waiting in their warehouse. The reason was simple. The brigade commander was also full of curiosity about the equipment that arrived this time.

After all, the commando team reported previously that Chi You's performance was strong enough, and he was really curious about how the twelve optimized ones in a row would perform.

The box was moved to the warehouse by everyone, and the car was driven back to the airport ground staff by the brigade commander's driver.

In the warehouse at this moment, there were twelve large black boxes neatly arranged. These boxes were more than one size larger than the boxes containing Chi You's powered exoskeleton at that time.

Same unboxing method, same instructions inside the box. This time no one was interested in the instructions.

Thirteen people and twenty-six eyes were all staring at the box. When the lid of the box was opened and the power armor inside was revealed to the thirteen people, everyone's eyes changed.

All thirteen people were shocked by the armor in the box for a moment. The items inside the box were really shocking.

Looking at the armor in the box that only appeared in movies or games, even the brigade commander with strong psychological endurance showed a slight change on his face.

The brigade commander approached the box with some uncertainty, pointed at the armor in the box, and turned to look at the commando leader.

"Hai Dongqing, are you sure you got this correctly?

Why do I feel that this thing is more suitable for young people to appear in something called Comic Expo, cosplay section.

Are you sure it's not a cosplay prop? Did you ask us to move it back? "

When the captain listened to the brigade commander's questions, he felt suspicious, but then he thought that his superiors would not be joking with him, so he stretched his hand into the box.

When his hand touched the armor in the box, the touch told him that the thing he touched was made of iron, and even if it wasn't iron, it was some other alloy.

After getting confirmation, he quickly turned to his brigade commander.

"I confirmed that at least it is real and not a prop."

The brigade commander was also a little speechless by his actions. He just interrupted, but he didn't expect that his commando captain could be so upright.

Then the captain greeted the team members and lifted the box up on the ground. The four sides of the box were also opened. Only then did Chi You's power armor reveal his true face in Lushan.

Although everyone present was well-informed, they had never seen anything like movie props placed in front of them.

It really shocked them. That feeling can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

When they reacted, the captain and brigade commander hurried forward and carefully observed the humanoid armor in front of them.

Xiao Falcon was still the smartest one. When others came to their senses, they all focused their attention on the mecha itself, but he placed it on the neglected instruction manual.

Looking at the very formal manual in his hand this time, it gave him a different feeling, a feeling that things were formal.

Then it was time to look at the name on the cover, the instruction manual for the Soldier Master Chiyou (JZSS-CY-DLZJ-02) Powered Exoskeleton Armor.

'The name is really long enough. It has two more words than the previous one - Armor. ’ Xiao Falcon secretly thought in his heart, and then he looked at it carefully.

While he was reading the instructions, the team members crowded together, surrounding the armor, brigade commander, and captain.

Looking at the armor in front of him at this moment, the captain also had a hard time. The situation he encountered this time was completely different from before. At least he could understand it at a glance last time.

I can see the locking buckles and know how to put it on, but this time I feel a sense of powerlessness when I look at the tightly fitting armor in front of me.

How do they do this? Let alone use it. Even wearing it becomes a problem. They actually don’t know how to wear it!

After circling the armor several times, I found a locking buckle at the connection between the helmet and the upper body.

The captain immediately opened the buckle on the helmet, and while he was thinking and operating, he finally took off the helmet.

But that was only this step. Next, they looked at the armor and had no clue.

When Captain Hai Dongqing saw the various shapes of screw holes on the armor, he was not sure where the key to opening the armor was.

However, Xiao Falcon carefully studied the instructions and had some idea in his mind. Then he stood up, found the box that had just been thrown aside, and took out the tool box from inside.

As if to show off, he walked to the brigade commander and captain.

"Stand back and see how I tear it apart today."

As he was about to take action, the captain quickly stopped him and controlled him.

"This is not the time to fool around, be honest!"

Xiao Falcon was trapped under Hai Dongqing's arm and waved the manual in his hand with difficulty.

"Captain, I just read the instruction manual. It's very detailed and includes instructions on how to wear it!"

Everyone was stunned by Xiao Falcon's shouting, because just like last time, they didn't think the manual was a useful thing.

Everyone who knew what was going on saw Xiao Falcon pretending to be cool in front of them. He proudly waved the tool in his hand and walked towards Chi You's power armor and moved his hands.
