Chapter 197: Inspection
He completely ignored the light machine gun behind him.
The muzzle jumped slightly, 7.62mm armor-piercing rounds swarmed out from the muzzle, the dense clattering mixed with the crisp sound unique to handguns.
In just a few breaths, the light machine gun’s newly replaced ammunition belt was emptied again.
The assault rifles on the two mechanical arms left and right opened fire simultaneously.
He Jie couldn’t help but touch his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, through the cold blue smoke, he could see the mongoose had already begun rifle shooting.
The tactical movements were very standard, the things he taught had been thoroughly mastered by her, even surpassing the master in handgun reload speed shooting.
The mongoose is a “Defender”, the Train Conductor said it’s a rare mutation evolution type.
Its characteristic is that some body organs undergo beast transformation, essentially no different from those who take the firearm route, just a different evolution path.
During training, he discovered that the mongoose’s reactions were more sensitive, combat movements closer to animal instinct.
Like falling from high altitude, she could instinctively adjust her body posture.
But other “Defenders”, without high altitude jumping experience, their high-speed reaction nerves would only make them more panicked, making wrong moves.
This difference is only in reactions to the environment.
In combat, both are similar, ordinary “Defenders” also have combat instinct, just their moves are not as tricky as the mongoose’s.
But what really caught He Jie’s eye was the unyielding spirit in the mongoose.
When evolution pulls everyone’s physical fitness to the same starting line, what decides superiority is no longer gender, but strong will.
Under his high pressure, the mongoose progressed rapidly, among the two hundred in the Armed Corps, she could rank in the top three.
And in firearm shooting, she could rank first!
Even surpassing most elite soldiers in the combat group.
This is the reason for sending her into the field.
“Click click——”
He Jie’s ears twitched, this was the sound of the magazine emptying.
He pressed the timer in his hand.
Yu Jing on the left had already fired two hundred rounds of ammunition belt, one hundred sixty assault rifle rounds, ninety handgun bullets.
While in the same time, the mongoose side had only fired one-third of the amount.
Judging purely by fire suppression, who wins and loses is clear at a glance.
“What about hit rate?”
He Jie shouted.
The soldiers in front emerged from both sides, took a look, and shouted loudly, “All on target!”
He Jie’s eyes lit up, facing the approaching Train Conductor, he said, “Train Conductor, can you give our corps a hundred sets of this exoskeleton.”
Su Huan’s narrow eyes held a wicked glint, turning into a smile upon hearing this, “How many points do you have?”
He Jie opened his mouth, laughed awkwardly, “Loan! Loan me a hundred sets first.”
“Get lost!” Su Huan cursed him, looked up at Yu Jing who was stroking her handgun, smiled and said, “How’s the production of this exoskeleton, can you give me two hundred sets first?”
Yu Jing said speechlessly, “There are only twenty enhanced assisted exoskeletons, once used up they need to be researched again, it takes more than a day or two.”
“Oh, like that.”
Su Huan understood.
“By the way, why doesn’t this exoskeleton have armor added, so many mechanical components are exposed…”
He Jie asked curiously.
Yu Jing sighed, two idiots.
“This is an engineer exoskeleton, used for equipment maintenance, mechanical maintenance, the fire suppression shown earlier is just its additional function, the main function is not combat.”
“After all, ‘Manufacturer’ physique is not as strong as you ‘Defenders’, with this thing, transporting and repairing will be much more convenient, no need to trouble Xiao Ba for everything.”
Su Huan understood the principle of sharpening tools before doing good work.
The Armored Train’s early lead relied on his foresight advantage in the apocalypse, to maintain leading position later, it depends on Yu Jing and them converting the foresight advantage into various materials, various research and development results.
The true barrier between major forces and wasteland scavengers is not those one or two high-level evolvers.
But a complete set of research and development manufacturing system.
So even the same Tier 1 Evolver, major force squads can massacre wasteland evolvers crushingly.
The reason lies in these details.
Energy, vehicles, weapons, medical, even promotion systems, exchange systems, etc.
Even if the mission fails, major force squads just slink back to headquarters, get demoted and scolded, at least their lives are safe.
But once wasteland evolvers fail, they stake their own lives.
No retreat at all.
Of course, the Steel Council is an exception, they were hit hard by Su Huan at the starting stage, their armed forces were crushed, not to mention bringing a million zombie tide to slaughter through headquarters, taking away research personnel, equipment in one go.
Hardly wiping out their future potential.
If he had completed the New City Plan, developed smoothly for a few years, even losing two more battles wouldn’t make them this miserable.
The Armored Train now is equivalent to the Steel Council before starting the New City Plan.
Has potential, and some foundation, facing ordinary survivors it’s dimensional strike.
As long as developing steadily step by step, the future world will definitely have a place for the Armored Train!
After ending the exoskeleton test interlude, the second activity today, Armed Corps review.
Previously all were recruits who failed selection training, now the corps is formed, there should be some ceremony.
Just right today is overcast, only a bit of drizzle from the sky, the entire Armed Corps assembled on the middle deck.
The Armored Train carriages are two stories high, level with the front of the train, about seven point six meters.
Subtracting the height from ground to undercarriage, and some pipes, wires and interlayer space reserved, average each floor height is three meters.
While the internal space of the ironwood deck connecting the two trains has only five meters floor height.
The top slightly lower than the trains on both sides, thus having an extra wide platform.
The Armored Train slid rapidly at 120km/h speed, on the ironwood deck besides the unique fishy rust smell of acid rain, there was gale blowing eyes openless, ordinary person standing here without grabbing something would fall straight down.
Five hundred soldiers however stood like steel nails in the center of the deck.
Even Xiao Ba stood up with the help of the exoskeleton.
Rainwater slid down the water-repellent coating of their gravel-colored combat suits, gathering into a water surface at the edge of the military boots, then blown by wind, drained from the deck.
Pairs of eyes stared tightly at the figure at the very front.
Su Huan hands in pockets, standing in front of everyone, the hem of his black shirt flapping loudly in the wind.
Yu Yue’s freshly groomed long hair messed by the strong wind, but the black hair tips tied with a red rope, no matter how wildly the long hair danced, the general shape wouldn’t scatter.
Like tying a red rope on a hungry wolf’s tail, restraining that wildness, with inexplicable cuteness.
The red hair rope and hem became the only bright color accent in this world.
