Chapter 17: Strengthening abilities, individual armor

In the Mu Chenxing family villa and gym, Lao Xia, Mu Chenxing and Lao Zhou gathered here at this time. All the metal equipment used for fitness, including dumbbells, that are fully loaded, are now floating steadily in the air.

After Lao Xia obtained the Magneto's ability five days ago, he began to constantly strengthen his practice in his new abilities and strive to improve his control over metals.

From the beginning of controlling ten kilograms of metal objects in a range of five meters to the current control of more than ten tons of metal objects within thirty meters, Lao Xia's mastery of his new abilities can be said to be a speed of thousands of miles a day. Of course, it is quite different from the spectacular scene of Magneto, the original ability owner, Magneto, who brought up a bridge.

This also confirms Lao Zhou's inference that all transplant abilities will be weakened to a certain extent, but the power of transplant abilities can be enhanced through continuous practice.

Lao Xia's current abilities are absolutely overwhelming advantages for Athena and his fake daughter Xia Linyue. As long as Lao Xia is willing to get close to his ability, Lao Xia can completely stop their actions.

After gently put down all the items that were within his control range, Lao Xia said proudly to the two spectators beside him: "How about it, is my control ability a lot better than a few days ago? This afternoon I am going to challenge the limit of controlling thirty tons of weight."

At this moment, a voice came to Lao Xia's mind: "Lao Xia, you are starting to be proud again. You are not the one who has improved your supernatural powers. Please be optimistic!"

A dumbbell weighing 100 kilograms was just put on by Lao Xia in the gym, and it was slowly floating in the air.

Lao Xia said with an unhappy look: "Boy Mu, I know that your mental power has begun to be free. Also, don't enter other people's brains without the consent of others. This is an invasion of other people's privacy. If you learn more about Lao Zhou, you have the strongest spiritual ability, but he doesn't see him use it indiscriminately."

It turned out that after Lao Xia had a capability transplant operation, Mu Chenxing also performed an capability transplant operation the next night. After the operation was completed, he found that the power of the transplant was indeed reduced a lot, but in the next few days, he did not relax for a moment and tried hard to exercise his new superpowers.

Now he can see other people's thoughts within a range of fifty meters and exchange ideas with people within this range. His mind power has made significant progress. He was attacked by the mutated T virus. After transplanting Qin Gelei's ability, not only has the power been strengthened, but the way of using mind power has gradually begun to change. Now he can concentrate and use his mind power to move objects of about 300 kilograms.

Finally, it was Lao Zhou. His surgery was performed by Athena for him. The practice of strengthening his own abilities was also the fastest among the three. Now within a range of 300 meters, he can control anyone's thinking and actions, read their thinking from the air, and manipulate the other party's actions. It can be said that as long as Lao Zhou wants, he can easily control all the actions of ordinary people within his ability.

As for Lao Xia's daughter, the original dead girl, Xia Linyue, she has been learning the key attack method with Athena during this period. I don't know what happened. Xia Linyue, a mutant who looks like a royal sister, actually got along the most with Athena, the terminator. This situation was something Lao Xia and Mu Chenxing and the others did not expect.

Lao Xia said to Mu Chenxing: "By the way, we have to go and see the situation of that research institute now! The transformation has been going on for so many days!"

Now he also discovered why Mu Chenxing complained that the place was too small when he was practicing Divine Fist, and the villa could not meet his need to continue to control magnetic force. All Lao Xia was impatient to go to their research institute, and listened to Mu Chenxing's location in the mountains due to inconvenient transportation. Everyone was very sparse inhabitants, so he could exercise his abilities there without any scruples without fear of being discovered by others.

Lao Xia has locked the items that have trained his abilities on the building steel and the planes in the Mu Chenxing bracelet, but these training materials can only be used without outsiders being discovered.

Mu Chenxing shook his head at Lao Xia's words and said, "The reconstruction of those houses can be completed so quickly. It is better to climb them safely for a while!"

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "I think you will take advantage of these few days to complete Athena's reinforcement work. Didn't you say that this work is time-consuming? How much can you complete now is enough!"

After hearing Lao Zhou's words, Lao Xia had to nod his head helplessly. After all, the house reconstruction is unhurried, otherwise it would be very easy to turn into a dangerous house.

Just when Lao Zhou was trying to say something, Athena's voice came from the communicator at this time.

A military base in the desert area of ​​Nevada in the eastern United States. Today, a large number of leaders of various military branches gathered here. They are now very rare to come to this weapon test site in the heart of the desert to watch a very special live-fire exercise for new weapons displays.

At this time, through the telescope, what appeared in front of them were two or five meters tall human armor in the desert hilly area in the distance. Although these huge iron guys looked extremely clumsy, they were now attacking several targets in front of them at the speed of running with the full force of normal people.

The standard weapons of these human-shaped armor are all six-barrel Gatling rapid-fire machine guns, which are usually only installed on vehicles and aircraft. Strong and dense fire storms continue to extend forward as these human-shaped armor moves, and all targets within their firepower range are swallowed up by a terrifying fire net.

It seemed as if the powerful recoil of the rapid-fire machine gun fired, there was no sign of slowing down the speed of some human-shaped armors.

At the same time, rockets and grenades were continuously fired from the backs of several human-shaped armors, and bombed wildly in front of them, exploding the target's location into a mess.

This was the group of senior military generals holding telescopes who could not help but look satisfied after seeing everything happening at the scene with their own eyes.

Dr. Evans, a military scientist who presided over this new weapon exercise, said loudly to everyone on the scene with excitement: "To generals, what you are showing in front of you is the latest individual combat armor developed by the military. Just now everyone should have seen their power through the telescope in their hands. These individual armors are like super-small main battle tanks, which also integrate speed, firepower and defense. Once it is put into the battlefield, we believe that this must be another weapon to change the situation of the war, just like the tanks in World War II."

A navy general spoke at this time: "Dr. Evans, we have seen some of the performance of these armors. But what I want to ask is how good these armors perform on other terrains."

Dr. Evans seemed to have known that the other party would ask this, so he immediately replied confidently: "Please rest assured that these individual armors have very good sealing properties, have a very complete three-defense system, and have thirty minutes of oxygen to install special equipment in the sea water for advancement."

At this time, another Air Force general asked, "I actually have special equipment that can advance in the sea, so can this thing fly!"

Dr. Evans answered a little unconfidently: "We have not yet achieved that technology, but there is absolutely no problem with this single armor system for airborne."

Another general asked a question about the Army this time: "I want to know the firepower, defense and mobility of this individual armor, as well as the price of a set of this thing. Dr. Evans now please explain it briefly!"

In terms of performance, this kind of equipment is most suitable for equipping the army. The army is now forming a digital force, and this new equipment is very consistent with the core infantry forces of the digital force. Moreover, if these individual armors are equipped on a large scale, the explanation of the term mechanized infantry will be rewritten.

Faced with the question from the army boss, Dr. Evans quickly replied: "Single armor can completely ignore Browning's 50-caliber attack damage. Unless a large-caliber reverse equipment gun is used to cooperate with an armor-piercing projectile, it can cause certain damage to it.

The standard weapon of individual armor is equipped with a six-barrel Gatling rapid-fire machine gun, which has the firepower to destroy most light armor targets. At the same time, various powerful explosive weapons from grenades to rockets can be installed outside the armor. As for the speed, it can reach a speed of 60 miles per hour when moving forward at full speed, but in this way, because the armor energy is consumed too quickly, it can be fought for up to an hour. It is best to attack and advance at a speed of thirty miles per hour.

Because of the performance of the armor and the various digital computer systems installed inside, its unit price is at least about $1.8 million!”

Although everyone present at the military knows that this high-tech equipment that only appears in science fiction comics is definitely not cheap, it was still rated by the price mentioned by Dr. Evans. You should know that the price of a current most advanced main battle tank is only five or six million US dollars, and the price of this set of armor is almost one-third of the price of a tank.

It seems that it is impossible for a military branch to be equipped with a large amount of equipment. After all, the funding of each unit is limited every year. If this individual armor wants to form effective combat power in large-scale battles, it must have a minimum of about a hundred units. However, this obviously does not meet the requirements of each unit. You should know that a company of the army has about hundreds of people.

If the Army wants to equip a complete infantry division, it will require at least 6,007 sets of such equipment. Such a large purchase cost alone will be enough to drive the government's politicians crazy. This is something that the military procurement department will never agree.

If this is the case, then these equipment will only be given priority to the special forces among various military branches. After all, this individual armor can still play an important role in low-intensity conflicts.

An official from the Ministry of National Defense asked at this time: "This kind of equipment should not have been carried out in actual combat yet, right?"

Dr. Evans immediately replied honestly: "Yes, you are the one who has only made these ten experimental samples and conducted a series of tests!"

After a while of discussion with representatives of various military branches at the scene, the official of the Ministry of Defense looked at Dr. Evans and said, "That happens that all these equipment will be transported to Afghanistan for practical experiments tomorrow. Anyway, there are terrorists and guerrillas there to test the actual combat effectiveness of these equipment. The Ministry of Defense will not propose a procurement plan before seeing the actual combat results. Dr. Evans, are there any problems with transporting the equipment to the war zone tomorrow to put it into actual combat!"

"There is no problem with the report." Dr. Evans immediately preached loudly.
