Chapter 72 The Relic Bead first shows its brilliance
The five people here now wearing Land Walker armor are the first action team composed entirely of armored soldiers formed by the Luyuan Star Civilization.
Including a captain, two firemen, a sniper, and a communications operator.
Among them, the captain carries a specially-made large submachine gun for armor.
The two firemen carried a few extra large rifle magazines, and seemed to be preparing to use the built-in rifles on their hands as machine guns.
In addition, the two of them were also uniquely equipped with a large alloy steel shield.
The lower part of the shield can be extended, and the two sides together form a simple circular position, which is suitable as a temporary shelter outside the wilderness. It can be used in case the armor encounters something.
Normally, they can also be used to resist impacts and so on.
Although the armor is made of light alloy steel and has a built-in shock-absorbing system, mutated creatures have emerged one after another on Luyuan Planet in the past six months.
If it was hit a few more times, the people inside would still be unable to bear it.
The sniper also held a particularly large sniper cannon that looked like it was not for humans.
It also has the characteristics of both a gun and a cannon.
The gun form is to adjust parameters to exert greater attack power at the expense of shooting range and accuracy.
But even in gun form, it is beyond the reach of ordinary sniper rifles.
This special sniper gun is equipped with a new optical sight and has the ability to calculate curved trajectory. In gun form, the maximum effective range reaches five thousand meters.
Finally, there was a communicator who carried two packages on his back.
The one on his back is a rocket backpack.
But the other one was in front of him, carrying four drones.
Not only that, the built-in gun barrel was removed from his left hand and transformed into a signal amplifier and receiver, as well as an LCD screen.
In the entire team, the communicator is the most important, because there is no such thing as a signal tower in the wilderness.
The current Luyuan Star civilization does not have military satellites in space.
Therefore, if you want to have a signal in the wilderness, you can only use the equipment on the communicator to maintain communication with the rear and coordinate tactics within the team.
At this time, they adopted a 3-1-1 tactical formation.
That is, one person for reconnaissance, three people for fire suppression team, and one person for defense.
In fact, in previous wilderness operations, soldiers generally used 3-2 tactics.
That is to say, the captain leads two firemen in front, while the snipers and communications soldiers follow in a similar formation.
The advantage of the 3-2 formation is that it has strong defense and firepower, which can ensure the safety of soldiers' lives to the greatest extent.
But the shortcomings are equally obvious: poor mobility and limited investigation depth.
But now, since they have the confidence of the Land Walker Armor, they can naturally be more bold.
One fireman took out his shield, put the fire control system in the other hand into standby mode, and left the team to walk to the side and front alone.
The captain of the armored team, with another fireman and communications man in the middle, also groped forward.
The communication hand pressed in front of him, and with a burst of mechanical sound, two drones flew up, one to the left and one to the right.
The communication hand raised his left arm, and through the ultra-clear camera under the drone, he could have a panoramic view of this wasteland known as the human forbidden zone.
At the same time, these scenes were synchronized by him to the displays on the armor of the other four teammates.
“It’s unbelievable that in a field that humans have not set foot on for many years, nature will derive such vitality!”
In the research institute at the rear army base, a natural biologist looked at the footage returned by the reconnaissance team's drone and was amazed.
Although humans live on this half of the planet, there are also many uninhabited areas.
There are mountains, snowfields, deserts, etc., but compared with the real no-man's land in front of us, they are far behind.
This is the intuitive feeling.
There seems to be a kind of vastness that is quietly falling on this land.
There are also people gathered around a young man, and their words are full of praise and admiration for the young man.
The young man is Shi Ming.
With Emperor Qin's words and deeds teaching him, his level in the field of mechanical exoskeletons has been greatly improved.
Then, he finally found the opportunity to make this first-generation exoskeleton armor!
Although from Emperor Qin's point of view, this set of mechanical exoskeleton armor named "Land Walker" is really rough.
Without laser and particle weapons, and without a particle injection engine, it is destined to be used only as a ground-based individual combat armor.
And the scope of application is not large.
If it is on a frontal battlefield, the Land Walker armor is not as effective as a tank.
Its only advantage is that it is not as cumbersome and complicated to operate as a tank.
Special operations missions like the current one, which go deep into the wilderness, are more suitable for it.
After all, you can let the tank go up the mountains and into the sea, but why don't you let it try in the mountains and forests?
You can only go around.
As for the land walker armor, it can cut a path directly in the forest.
But that's all.
Emperor Qin even called it "heavy scrap iron" unceremoniously.
But the Luyuan Star Federation is very satisfied with the Land Walker Armor.
There is a standing army for frontal combat, so there is no need for Land Walker armor.
They plan to use the Land Walker armor in two ways.
One is the current situation of going deep into the wilderness.
The second is in various cities.
The city is not very suitable for aircraft and tanks to fight. At this time, land walkers, which are smaller and also have good firepower, are very suitable.
Shi Ming also took this opportunity to stand out from Dr. Liao and become a researcher with the right to independently initiate projects.
Unfortunately, despite this, the satellite project he applied for was still not approved.
After he listed the various benefits of having satellites in the sky, the Federal Council decided to discuss it and asked him to come back first and wait for notification.
However, at least he was no longer directly warned not to study anymore like when he was a student.
This is the benefit of status.
His status has indeed improved a lot with the birth of the Land Walker Armor.
The Land Walker Armor is more than just a piece of armor.
Among them, he also demonstrated the ability to improve new alloys - lightweight alloy steel, the ability to improve energy efficiency - armor power source, mechanical structure - armor appearance design, etc.
His current status is even on par with his former mentor Dr. Liao.
Currently, Shi Ming's task is to continue researching and improving Land Walker armor.
For example, can it be made more lightweight and compact to facilitate urban combat, and be equipped by federal investigators to deal with incidents like werewolves?
Another example is whether it can be matched with the intelligent assistance system of Cybertron cars and made into a robot.
