Chapter 1782 Crusader Powered Armor
1782, Crusader Powered Armor
Tang Xiao nodded and said: "Under the current situation, send John to the planet Mandalore to help Jango Fett and the others are indeed the best idea. The planet Mandalore is too far away and we can't reach it. It would be great to let Jango Fett and the others go over and make a big fuss even if it doesn't work. "
"Don't worry, John, he has the ability." Every time he mentioned this name, Dr. Halsey's eyebrows would show some different emotions.
"Where is his equipment? Dr. Otto Ostavius should have the finished product, right?" Tang Xiao asked again.
Dr. Halsey shook her head and said: "No, I asked Dr. Otto to continue working on his own project. I designed John's combat power armor myself."
"Oh? You are busy Do you have to come over?" Tang Xiao asked with a frown.
“Only the things I develop can be handed over to him with confidence...” Dr. Halsey said, then she patted her forehead and suddenly asked, “Did I... know John before? "
"Why do you ask that suddenly?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Because I feel that when I face him, I always feel something different. It seems... there is a tacit understanding..." Halsey said with some confusion.
Tang Xiao nodded, "Yes, you do know him. And...very familiar. He is the kind of person who can be trusted with everything."
"Really? No wonder..." Hal Dr. Akane pondered, and there seemed to be a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Uh..." Tang Xiao felt that Dr. Halsey might have misunderstood. He raised his hand to explain something but found that he didn't know how to explain... Could it be that you told her that you and John 117 had nothing to do with each other before? Aren't you in the same age group? Are you at least 2 or 30 years older than John?
You must know that Dr. Halsey, as the founder and founder of the Spartan Project in the "Halo" series, was already successful and famous when she launched this project, and she was already around 40 or 50 years old. . At that time, John 117, who had just joined the Spartan Project, was just a big-headed soldier.
But the problem is that the current Dr. Halsey is around 30 years old, and the current John 117 is almost the same age. It seems impossible to explain why people who are not of the same age group appear here in their youthful and peak years?
If this was discovered, it might make these people doubt the meaning of their own existence. If that were the case, that would be terrible.
So... Tang Xiao glanced at Dr. Halsey again without leaving any trace. The young she is indeed a very beautiful and intellectually beautiful person...
Is it possible that they are going to have something happen?
This kind of thinking is a bit forbidden in a sense... The explosiveness of this result made Tang Xiao, who was already heartbroken, start to gossip.
Dr. Halsey here is very professional. She has recovered from her faint feelings and took out another report and said: "I also handed over the design of Thor's Hammer power armor to Dr. Otto Ostavius and Rory Swann took a look at it, and we all came to the conclusion that it will take at least 3 to 5 years to create power armor of this level. ”
"What are the main technical difficulties?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Mainly the neural connection system, which can read the user's movements directly through neurons, shortening the reaction time of the power armor to less than 1 microsecond, which can be said to be almost a real-time response. And now Our technology is far from reaching this point. Dr. Otto-Ostavis has proposed a plan, which is to use brainwave control with AI assistance like his octopus claws... except that I don't think he can even fully control his claws, so this thing can't be used," Dr. Halsey said.
"What about your alternative?" Tang Xiao asked again.
"It is to modify the CMC-300 power armor. Regarding this, Chief Engineer Rory Swan gave me a lot of help." Dr. Halsey said, "First we removed the CMC- There are some unnecessary items on the 300 power armor, such as ammunition boxes on the two shoulders, additional armor belts on the chest, waist and abdomen, thighs and calves, etc. If these things are removed, the size of the CMC-300 will be reduced. 20%, more compact. Then there is the further miniaturization of the cold nuclear reactor on the chest, which is indeed very difficult..."
Tang Xiao nodded and let her continue.
"As a result, in this regard, Dr. Otto-Ostavis helped us design a new engine that is only half the size of the previous one. In this way, I can install this engine on the back of the power armor , and does not need to be an integral engine system from the chest to the back like the current CMC-300, which takes up a huge volume," Dr. Halsey said, "Dr. Otto does have a very unique perspective on energy engines. . The engine system he is responsible for and the weapon system Dr. Zhang Jiarui is responsible for can be said to represent the top energetic research in the entire galaxy."
Of course, Zhang Jiarui grew up from a master energetic scientist. Like it or not, Doctor Octopus is one of the big villains in superhero works like Marvel. The things he designs are naturally much more refined than the rough designs of "Star Wars" that focus on war.
Perhaps those designs are not ideal for frontal battlefields and mass production on the assembly line, but they are just right for use on super soldiers like John 117.
Dr. Halsey continued: "Therefore, the new power armor given to John 117 is 42% lighter than the CMC-300, the volume is reduced by 31%, and the power is increased by about 10%, but Because the main armor belt has been eliminated, the protection capability is much lower than that of the frontal battlefield, which is more suitable for elite squads, such as those of the Mandalorians."
Tang Xiao smiled and said: "I guess those Mandalorians would rather continue to wear their primitive armor without power assistance than accept the latest powered armor that you have worked so hard to transform, right?"
"That's it." Dr. Halsey sneered, "However, I named this model of power armor Crusader Type I. When they knew this, their expressions were so wonderful. Anyway, They have the power to use it, and I also have the power to name it after the Mandalorian Crusaders, right?”
Tang Xiao didn’t expect that Dr. Halsey also had this playful side. In order to take revenge on those Mandalorians, Tang Xiao The Darrow soldiers didn't appreciate it, so they named the new power armor Crusaders, which was a slap in their face. However, the Mandalorian warriors couldn't really get angry at such a half-joking little move.
This is quite fun. You must know that in the "Halo" series, Dr. Halsey was between 5 and 60 years old most of the time she appeared. At that time, she was professional, dignified, and even a little paranoid. Compared with when she was young, her personality was completely different.
Maybe it was because of the completely different experiences...
At this time, the metal gate on the other side of the laboratory opened, and a man over two meters tall walked over. No, this is a powered armor!
I only saw that the height of this power armor is about 2 meters. Compared with the bloated and round CMC-300 power armor, this power armor is very compact and close-fitting. It can even be said that it is just one size larger than ordinary armor. . The only thing that reminds people that this is a powered armor is the backpack-like engine system on its back.
"This is the Crusader Type I powered armor?" Tang Xiao looked at the powered armor and nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, a total of 20 units were produced, and the cost is almost enough to build a cruiser." Dr. Halsey was still a little aggrieved, "Those Mandalorians are a complete waste."
< br>"It doesn't matter, they don't need it, then allocate it to the Fourth Army." Tang Xiao waved his hand and made a decision.
"Didn't the Fourth Legion dislike power armor?" Dr. Halsey is now a core technician of the Principality of Dawn, and naturally knows a lot about the Fourth Legion.
"What they reject is not the power armor, but the CMC-300, which they consider to be very cumbersome. Moreover, they don't care about death." Tang Xiao said, "However, in the latest expansion of the Fourth Army, , There are some ordinary soldiers with outstanding achievements who have been transferred from the army. Those ordinary soldiers can just drive the power armor to close the gap with the soldiers of the Fourth Army."
"How good are ordinary soldiers? , it’s impossible to reach the level of the Fourth Legion, right? I’m afraid not many people can withstand such a test,” Dr. Halsey said.
"I have told them that the first premise for all soldiers who apply to join the Fourth Army is - life or death." Tang Xiao said lightly, "If you can't withstand the training and testing, then die . If you are afraid of death, don’t submit an application to join our most elite and powerful legion.”
There was a sound of mechanical transmission, and a man with a fierce face jumped out of the power armor. Soldier. In fact, it can be seen that this soldier originally had a good-looking face, but after being thrown around in the hail of bullets, mountains of corpses, and seas of blood on the battlefield, the wind, frost, and chill had already changed his temperament.
"Your Excellency!" When the soldier came down and saw that Tang Xiao was there, he quickly stood at attention and saluted, looking extremely surprised.
Tang Xiao basically has a photographic memory now, and he called out his name in one breath, "Huang Yehao? Are you a tester of the Crusader power armor?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Halsey The doctor invited me to test this power armor. All I can say is, it's so powerful! It's so good! Hey, you actually know me?" Huang Yehao was a little excited when he faced Tang Xiao.
"Of course I remember that after the Battle of Marastal Planet, I gave you a medal." Tang Xiao was actually not very familiar with Huang Yehao. After saying this, he turned to Halsey Doctor, "How do you know my plan? I just said that I would give the Crusader power armor to those soldiers who apply to join the Fourth Legion, but you have already asked Huang Yehao to help you test it?"
" I asked the Army to recommend 10 of the strongest and best soldiers to me to test the power armor. Is this normal?" Dr. Halsey cut her hair, "And the Army's strongest and best soldiers want to join. I don’t know about the Fourth Army.”
“Doctor, this is the test data.” Huang Yehao handed a PAD to Dr. Halsey, but his eyes were still on Tang. Sweeping it all over Xiao's body.
"Soldier, tell me, why do you want to apply to join the Fourth Army?" Tang Xiao responded to his concern and asked proactively, "You know, with your military exploits and qualifications, if you continue to stay in the army, you should be promoted soon. "
Huang Yehao said firmly: "I just want to go into battle and kill the enemy! Lord Grand Duke, I don't like to hide in the office and dictate. I like to stand on the front line and penetrate with hot bullets. The chest of the enemy! I don’t want to pay attention to how much our front has advanced. I only know that every enemy I destroy will help the fourth civilization take a small step forward!"
Tang Xiao nodded in approval! , "So, how many steps have you helped the fourth civilization advance?"
Huang Yehao still didn't react to Tang Xiao's direct reference to his metaphor, and he was stunned before saying, "A thousand steps, yes! A thousand steps! "
Tang Xiao stared at his eyes, and he found that he found a trace of pleasure in Huang Yehao's eyes! This made him very satisfied, "It's a pity that you are not Force-sensitive, otherwise, you will become a very outstanding Sith!"
"Being able to join the Fourth Army is enough!" Huang Yehao replied firmly.
"I like this guy very much. You can give him more attention." Tang Xiao pointed at Huang Yehao and said.
"Don't come to me about this." Dr. Halsey waved her hand. Unlike that John 117, she was obviously not interested in Huang Yehao. "The strengthening method of the Fourth Army is completely different from the Spartan Plan. Different, that is the responsibility of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group, and I will not participate in it. Of course, when I continue to study the Spartan Project, I will also fully consider the technology of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group. I’ve been looking for that woman several times.”
“Shirley Birkin? Isn’t she having a meeting on Planet Haven these days?” Since the intelligence department was reorganized, Tang Xiao’s attitude toward his officials It’s very detailed to understand.
"Oh, it's another one." Dr. Halsey had already started to look at the experimental data and replied casually.
"Alexia? You and she were able to chat together, which surprised me," Tang Xiao said.
This Alexia is naturally Alexia Ashford, the creator of the T-Veronica virus in "Resident Evil: Code Veronica" and an unprecedented genius. girl.
Her stunning talent put even William Birkin, the genius of Umbrella Company, to shame. At only ten years old, she even made William Birkin dare not face her talent. If she hadn't frozen herself for ten years in order to stabilize the Veronica virus in her body, then in that era, there would have been no such things as Wesker and William Birkin (I won't introduce them in detail here, Anyway, you can find it casually).
Tang Xiao woke her up about 7 months ago.
At that time, the signs of a large-scale invasion by the Galactic Republic were already very obvious, and Tang Xiao was also very sure that the intensity of this invasion would be unprecedented. He himself had no confidence to withstand the full-scale attack of the Galactic Republic.
Therefore, he chose to awaken one of the legendary characters who met the conditions.
Awakening of a legendary figure, Tang Xiao couldn't see who the target was. He chose this mainly because he found that it was a one-for-two option. With the mentality that two are better than one, he made his choice.
In the end, it was Alexia Ashford and her playboy brother Alfred Ashford who woke up.
