Chapter 309 Honorable Production of Atlas Equipment R&D Center

As the Polarized Light continued to dive towards its destination, Amber followed Isabel to the hangar of the ship and saw the dedicated exoskeleton that had been prepared.

It is a bit inappropriate to call it an exoskeleton.

After installing a fully enclosed protection unit, a newly configured hybrid power unit, and a fully upgraded fire control and weapon unit, this exoskeleton weighing 5.5 tons should actually be called a "power armor".

As mentioned earlier, the classification of individual combat equipment in the human world, "power armor" is not an independent equipment, but a product of the same series as the combat exoskeleton.

The power armor in this world, in layman's terms, is the "ultimate form" of the individual combat exoskeleton, which is mainly provided for elite units.

In order to ensure the "versatility" and "easy maintenance" required by the military, major equipment manufacturers will design a set of individual combat systems, from the most basic exoskeleton framework to the final power armor.

Most of the most basic exoskeleton frameworks look like a pile of "steel pipes" and "cables" to make up a human skeleton.

By adding or reducing components, it can fit the body shape of most humanoid creatures.

This exoskeleton frame is usually battery-driven and only has the most basic functions such as weight bearing, strength increase, and coordination.

Most civilian engineering exoskeletons are installed with some integrated interfaces on this basis, and then some electric tool combinations are installed on it.

When it comes to the combat exoskeleton used by infantry, a more complex power unit with higher output power will be installed, and additional "strength firmware" will be added to the exoskeleton frame to greatly increase its load-bearing capacity and strength and speed increase.

On this basis, additional sensing interfaces will be installed on the exoskeleton frame, which will be connected to the interfaces on the multi-functional combat uniforms equipped by the infantry, so that the "synchronization rate" of the exoskeleton and the user can be raised to a level that can be used for combat.

After completing these basic upgrades, replaceable external armor plates, battery compartments and other equipment will be installed, and additional weapons and equipment and electronic equipment will be added according to the needs of the combat unit.

Generally speaking, the strength, speed and load-bearing capacity of infantry wearing combat exoskeletons will be greatly improved, and carrying a chain gun with one hand is as easy as playing - this is why the 25mm chain gun is made into a shoulder-mounted type and deployed to infantry units as a platoon-level fire support weapon.

And this is also the standard equipment of the filling infantry units in the three major human forces of the Federation, the Star Dragon Empire, and the Commercial Alliance. Like the rifles of the old era, it covers all front-line combat infantry.

Thanks to the versatility and scalability of these combat exoskeletons, soldiers will also make various modifications on the battlefield, and some "soldier kings" will even have their own unique equipment.

Above the combat exoskeleton, it comes to the ultimate form of this equipment - power armor.

More powerful power unit, more ferocious armed configuration, fully enclosed armor, electromagnetic muscle bundles, neural induction contact layer

Although from the appearance, it is basically impossible to see the relationship between the same series of power armor and combat exoskeletons, but their basic framework is essentially the same thing.

Just like the "Crazy Crocodile A3 ver. Amber" power armor in front of Amber.

As the name suggests, the basic framework of this thing actually comes from the "Crazier" series combat exoskeleton currently fully equipped by Atlas's subordinate combat units.

As an honorary product of the Atlas Equipment Research and Development Center led by Eugene Koch and Ornes, Amber's "privately customized" equipment.

This "Crazier A3 ver. Amber" power armor basically brings together all the current technological crystallizations of Atlas Industries in the field of individual equipment.

Eugene Koch and Ornes also put all their efforts into this power armor and took out all their technologies at the bottom of the box.

In terms of protection, this power armor uses new materials and structures. When the deflection force field is not turned on, it can be immune to direct fire from barreled weapons with a caliber of less than 75 mm and electromagnetic weapons with a caliber of less than 40 mm.

When the deflection force field is turned on, this indicator is increased to 105 mm caliber for barreled weapons and 75 mm caliber for electromagnetic weapons.

At the same time, don't forget that Amber can also deploy a psychic shield. This shield that cannot be explained by science can provide a very high defense bonus.

That is to say, in the full defense state, after Amber puts on this power armor, the individual protection level can reach the main battle tank level in a short time.

In terms of firepower, Eugene Koch made a modular design, which can be equipped with different weapon combinations according to different mission requirements.

In the most exaggerated firepower "individual suppression" mode, Amber feels that this power armor can go to Cos the "hedgehog equipment" of the heavy artillery Gundam.

In particular, there is an option of "individual nuclear bomb launcher" in the equipment selection table-the source of this thing is the tactical nuclear bombs seized on Rubion V.

Two of them were taken out of the raw materials and converted into several "individual tactical nuclear bombs", as one of Amber's individual weapons

Finally, the power and tactical functions are involved. This power armor uses the best individual power pack that Atlas can currently offer. Under hybrid drive, it can support 35-40 hours of extreme operation time depending on the combat environment.

At the same time, the individual electronic warfare unit, detection unit, life support unit and other functional modules are also the best versions that Eugene Koch and his team can find, and they spare no effort.

Of course, if Amber were to choose this power armor, what he would be most satisfied with is that Eugene and Oens made this thing into a "psychic specialization", which can fully adapt to the combat intensity and combat rhythm of psychics.

The most amazing part is that these two people reverse engineered the "Elf King Guard Uniform" that Alanita gave to Amber.

Finally, after Amber activated her psychic power, this power armor could be invisible in optical, infrared, and ultraviolet detection modes. If Amber's psychic skills were more sophisticated, she could even be invisible under radar detection.

At the same time, in order to prevent this power armor with a standard weight of 5.5 tons from making other noises after turning on the "stealth", Orns installed the "sound shield" technology that he had kept in his bottom box.

After turning it on, it can greatly reduce the noise generated by the power armor when it is in action, preventing the situation where there is no one in the enemy's sight, but there is a "rumble rumble" in the ears.

After these large and small technologies are integrated into this power armor, the research and development cost and cost of this thing can no longer be measured by a specific amount.

For example, modules such as "psychic stealth coating" and "sound shield" cannot be put into mass production for the time being.

Therefore, although the funds of the Atlas Equipment R&D Center are sufficient and they are ranked among the top within the Atlas Group, Eugene and his team only made three.

Two are used for various tests, and the last one is a finished product provided to Amber for use.

And this time, the mission of going to the Forerunner ruins and "dealing with the Truth Seeking Foundation" will also be the first actual combat of this power armor.
