Border Star, the underground experimental area of the Tiger Corps

Melinda Hurley and Qian Wen, as well as the team's scientific researchers, are concentrated here all day long, providing huge backup technology support for the entire Tiger Corps. Focus on the research and development of weapons, armor and other special aspects of biology. On the surface, the Tigers represent a special force, but behind it is a whole group operating.

The cold spotlight above the head always illuminates the whole empty experimental area, but unlike in the past, every tired face has an indelible joy - they are about to usher in a change in technological equipment.

Dr. Qian Wen sat on the swivel chair, tapping his fingers on the virtual keyboard, with rows of dense scrolling displays. He looked at it with great concentration and couldn't take his eyes off it. Behind him was Hurley with her arms in her arms. She stared at the data and quickly contrasted with her imagination in her mind.

Other people in white uniforms also stopped their work.

This is obviously very important. Dr. Qian sweated on his forehead. But as always, Holly can't see whether she expects or not, which makes scholars envious and revered. She has a temperament as a leader - she will never easily reveal her judgments or ideas. She knows that colleagues don't need to pay attention to their faces while busy with experiments. She did a very good job in this area.

Finally, the test value displayed on the screen stabilized. Qian Wen stopped his fingers and held back his joy. He looked up at the air and said, "Sally, please experiment and compare multiple sets of statistics and list all possible results."

It was quiet for three seconds, and then Sally's voice sounded: "Multiple sets of test results are within the expected set change - through the 'Mysner Effect', with the increase of the power intensity, the superconductor repels the internal magnetic field at an effective distance of 8 to 15 centimeters and keeps circulating in this range."

"The basic framework is correct." Qian Wen nodded and said, "If it continues to be implemented, the miniaturized electromagnetic force field we envision will also operate normally in theory. When the condensed powerful electromagnetic field works, a force field of sufficient strength can offset the metal object?

The old expert used a positive and questionable tone. When showing confidence, you still don't forget the results that may be missed. He was very rigorous, but Holly smiled. She reached out and patted Qian Wen on the shoulder and said, "Dr. Qian, oral theory can never really represent everything."

Qian Wen looked up at her. She nodded and waved her hand to the researchers behind her: "Now call the lieutenant. Our latest armor must be tried on, otherwise all the ideas will only stand still in our continuous meaningless verbal arguments."

Vien, Helen and Cody came to the underground experimental area together.

He has noticed this place, surrounded by obstacle training areas, shooting ranges of different distances, etc. He can guess that this was once a used training base, but now there should be no one. He couldn't help thinking about what happened on the first planet of Orosta, which was also this kind of base. The Tiger team members united to fight against the instructors who trained them, and then beat and kicked them... These memories of the past flashed in his mind, and he suddenly felt very sorry for the instructors.

"Hey, kid, you're finally here." An old voice sounded, "Come here quickly. If you can, run ahead, soldiers."

Vien looked at the direction of the sound. There is no doubt that this sound is Dr. Qian's, and only he often confuses the words "children" and "soldiers" so that sometimes regardless of the occasion. Wayne quickly ran to his position with Helen and Cody.

Qian Wen looks 80 years old, with white hair and a white experimental suit. He often wears a pair of glasses and uses a special silver chain to connect glasses around his neck. He is not tall, but he served in ASC when he was young, and his voice is still very loud.

"Finally!" He patted Wayne on the back and looked a little impatient. "Go there and change all your military uniforms."

A young researcher took them into a recovery area next to him. He pointed to three sets of special clothes in the cabinet and said, "You change your military uniforms and put on these clothes. Ten minutes later, we are going to test you with a new type of exoskeleton armor.

The three quickly took off their uniforms and picked up the clothes next to them and changed them. This is not much different from special clothes that usually wear armor, and there are devices that receive human nerve signals in specific places. Wayne will feel his whole body tightened after putting it on. This feels very familiar.

"Please follow me when you change it." Researchers waiting outside said to them.

They quickly followed, turned up a ladder, and then went through another underground area. He looked up and saw that Dr. Hurley and other researchers were already waiting there, and the ethereal figure of AI Sally appeared in the air and was talking to the doctor.

They walked to Holly, and she nodded slightly to them, and then looked at the three objects covered by black cloth in front of her, which were slightly raised, like a set of armor. Several staff next to him opened it with the approval of the doctor, and it was indeed a set of armor.

But it's different from what you usually see. Judging from the shape, the shadow of the original PA-05 armor can be seen, but all the alloy fenders on the surface of the original armor have been removed and replaced by a layer of black-gray material that does not look very strong. In addition, Wien also feels that the armor looks thicker.

"This is a new armor for you." Hurley told them that Dr. Qian was guiding the staff to install the last parts of the armor. "There are some differences from what you used before." She looked very happy. "In order to protect the damage you have suffered in carrying out the mission, Dr. Qian Wen and I have developed and reduced the electromagnetic field shield. Through an external layer of special normal temperature superconductor, we have successfully achieved effective defense against foreign metal objects."

"force field shield?" Wayne raised his eyebrows. He knew very well this guy's ability. Under the offset of a strong magnetic field, as long as there is enough energy, any metal object will be bounced away by it. But what he really didn't expect was that one day the doctor would transplant the big guy loaded on the warship to a small armor.

Or this should always be an amazing breakthrough. Shield miniaturization has always been a project studied by many researchers, but there are many problems that need to be overcome. For example, normal temperature superconductors are an expensive material, and battery volume and capacitance are also a problem...

"The theory is within the expected value... but you need to try it on yourself." Holly said to them. When others gave up their research in this area, they succeeded. Wayne felt that she should be congratulated, but their desire to try armor was obviously the same as that of a doctor.

They put on armor and felt a little heavier than usual. Of course, under the advanced hydraulic system, the power they use is still as usual. But the thickness of stepping on the ground still reveals this. Wayne tried to take a few steps to display the interface, control mode, command mode... everything is as usual.

Helly nodded to them and said to Qian Wen, "Dr. Qian, now you can introduce them to the new functions added to the whole armor."

Holi turned to a group of consoles, and the data connected to the armor was displayed.

And Qian Wen stood beside them, holding a computer in his hand.

"I removed the protective alloy plate on the surface of the armor, replaced it with superconducting materials and thickened the internal shock absorption layer. Although it will reduce the killing of bullets or shrapnel, the added electromagnetic field shield completely ignores this problem. Qian Wen is a weapons expert, and naturally comes to this knowledge. "Note that the remaining value of the electric capacity of a shield has been added under the ammunition display bar in the lower right corner of your helmet."

Vien took a look and saw nothing.

"Of course, you haven't started yet." Dr. Qian told Wayne, "The shield can be activated by brainwave command or manually. Don't rush to try, kids. He smiled and said to the three anxious people, "Let the staff add the battery block to you. One of the disadvantages of this thing is that it requires a lot of batteries."

Several staff members filled the batteries for the three people. Wayne looked down at the busy people around him and added battery grooves from the abdomen to the back and waist, which was several times more than the original system that only needed two batteries to drive.

"I'm sorry that the military does not agree with our unauthorized use of nuclear batteries." Dr. Qian said with some regret, "At present, you can only use these special batteries to supply the capacitors of your shield system."

"Other people retreat," Dr. Qian said, "Children, you can start!"

Vien started the shield system, and the capacitor began to discharge strongly. But there is nothing in front of him, as always. A second later, he could feel a stream of static electricity swimming restlessly on the surface of his limbs, as if his body was full of free electrons. He turned his head and looked at his companion, and there was nothing on the surface of the armor.

"Everything is within the normal value." Holly said to Qian Wen.

"Very good, kids, pay attention!" Qian Wen grabbed a G52 pistol on the table and pulled the sleeve skillfully. The pistol made a crisp sound and the bullet was loaded. He pushed away the safety, raised the gun and pointed it at Wayne's chest, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Although he knew that the doctor would not hurt them, when the objects that could threaten them flew in, Wayne obviously felt that time was slowed down and instinct made him highly concentrate. Although he knew that he could not avoid bullets, at least the bullets hitting the heart could slightly shift the trajectory.

But something amazing happened. When the warhead was about ten centimeters away from his chest, he even experienced the feeling of suffocation - suddenly flew aside - as if it had been bounced away by an invisible layer of objects, and the bullet was completely blocked.

Next, Dr. Qian fired six shots at him in a row.

He can't feel the slowdown of time. He knows that he can now avoid bullets unscathed - all of which are bounced ten centimeters away. At this time, he noticed that the shield energy bar at the bottom right of the helmet display was slowly decreasing, which was obviously a reflection of the continuous consumption of the electrical energy of the capacitor.

This feels great! Wayne is moving his body, or armor. Other staff members experimented with pistols on the three of them. Qian Wen stared at the computer screen for a while, and then picked up an F-A08T assault rifle. When the muzzle was pointed at Wayne, he subconsciously stepped back two steps and tried to find shelter.

"Stight!" Dr. Qian told him and then pulled the trigger of the rifle.

Vine's eyes widened, and he clearly felt that the bullet was no longer bounced at a ten centimeter position this time, but at a position seven centimeters or even closer to the chest. The offset of the electromagnetic field to objects with greater kinetic energy could be limited, but it could still support Dr. Qian emptying a magazine.

Vine stared at the shield energy value again. Nine-tenths have disappeared, and the last paragraph shows a red warning. It seems that this thing is not completely durable. When the capacitor consumes all the power, the battery must continue to charge it to work properly.

"When the capacitor releases electrical energy, the battery will charge the capacitor." Qian Wen put down the assault rifle and said to them, "According to the previous experimental records, the capacity of the battery is limited, and it takes about half a minute to fully charge the capacitor."

"Of course, this is the standard in a state of complete consumption." The doctor continued to explain, "You don't have to wait until the capacitor consumes power before replenishing it. You are professional in avoiding the enemy, and you don't need me to talk about it, right?

Vien stared at the shield capacitor display bar, and sure enough, it could be fully replenished in half a minute. According to the time of the test just now, the capacitor can support the open shield for three minutes. What does three minutes mean for a raid? Even ordinary soldiers can seize the opportunity to kill the armored Iron Man.

"But there is one thing to pay attention to." Hurley walked to Wayne and took this measuring instrument in her hand. "The effective range of the strong electromagnetic field is only six to ten centimeters outside the armor. When objects with enough momentum exceed the electromagnetic field, you will be hit."

This is not difficult to understand. When Wayne was attacked by an assault rifle, he thought that if it was a bullet fired from a sniper rifle, it might exceed the impact range of a strong magnetic field. He also said that he would be hit!

"It seems that we are not absolutely complete!" Cody said with a smile. But they all know that the utility of this thing will make every soldier of the Tigers become a... more horrible thing on the original basis.

"Doctor," Wayne looked at Qian Wen, "can this thing equip every team member?"

He is concerned about this. Although they seem to be invincible, he knows that they, like ordinary people, will be killed by bullets. He doesn't want to see this happen, but this is the reality.

"Of course." Qian Wenli said as he should, "Otherwise, why should we study these?"

Helley left for a while, and the three of Wayne continued to experience a new type of armor at the base. Dr. Qian named it PA-05T exoskeleton dynamic armor. He is always used to adding a tiger after special weapons, but he also defines the model of armor - which is still special.

When Holly came back, Major McLean also followed her.

"Soldiers," she cleared her throat, "it seems that you are in good shape. Suddenly there is something here that you need to deal with.

The three stood in front of the major and waited for the next instructions.

McLean's eyes swept over the three people and then said, "Omicron's rebellion was basically calmed down, but the intelligence officer brought a bad news from Iota - the superior designated several soldiers with special combat capabilities to complete a secret infiltration mission!"

"Shir," Wayne said to her, "we are always ready!"
