"Oh my god, Brother Xiao, you bought a heavy truck?"
The four teammates were invited to the garage. Li Ya Lin and Lin Yao were excited as they climbed up and down the truck. Lambert was very interested in the engine, so he opened the hood and admired it.
Zhang Wei came to Han Xiao's side and said, "Thank you."
A logistics vehicle was a luxury for a small team. Zhang Wei felt embarrassed that Han Xiao had paid for it himself.
Han Xiao laughed. "Just think of it as me helping the needy."
Zhang Wei's mouth twitched. He was speechless. Although what he said was true, why did his honesty make him feel so uncomfortable?
"I racked my brains and came up with a name for this car."
Zhang Wei's ears perked up.
Han Xiao moistened his throat and said seriously, "Big Black."
Zhang Wei's foot slipped and he forced a smile. "Good, good name."
"You think so too, right? Catchy and to the point. I admire myself." Han Xiao clicked his tongue.
"… As long as you're happy."
"The driver's seat is so big." Li Ya Lin was having a lot of fun. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Who's going to drive?"
Han Xiao said, "This is my car. Of course, I'll be the one driving."
Li Ya Lin's face turned pale. She remembered the fear of being controlled by Han Xiao. She trembled and said, "Can … can I not sit?"
Zhang Wei frowned and scolded, "Han Xiao is spending money to let us enjoy the convenience. Why are you refusing?"
Li Ya Lin's face was ashen. She muttered, "You'll regret it."
Regret? Zhang Wei didn't understand what Li Ya Lin meant. Was she saying that Han Xiao's driving skills were terrible?
What was so bad about that? How bad could his driving skills be? They were all well-trained agents with excellent physical fitness. They wouldn't even faint on a roller coaster ride. What was there to be afraid of?
Zhang Wei didn't think so.
"By the way, our superiors told us that we will be leaving in four days," Lin Yao suddenly said.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He had spent around ten days to fully modify his body. Originally, he had wanted to install a turret on the heavy truck. He had even learned the knowledge, but unfortunately, there was not enough time. He thought for a moment and said to Zhang Wei, "Bring the War Armor over. I will help you modify it."
Zhang Wei's eyes lit up. He was very confident in Han Xiao's mechanical abilities.
Hearing this, Li Ya Lin immediately jumped over and shook Han Xiao's shoulder. "What about me? What about me? Didn't you promise to tailor equipment for me?" she asked.
"Let's talk about it when I have the inspiration."
Han Xiao pushed the chattering Li Ya Lin away. As a martial artist, you should use your fists to beat people up. Why do you keep thinking about my machines?
The prototype of the War Armor was quickly sent over. It was like the armor in a museum. It was supported by a plastic skeleton and placed in a metal box that was as tall as a person. The logistics personnel were the salted fish from the logistics department.
Han Xiao said, "Time is limited. I am going to do the most necessary modifications. First, I will increase the upper limit of the energy efficiency. Then, I will change the power mode. I will reduce the load and fill the endoskeleton with mechanical power to help you move."
"That's great." Zhang Wei's face lit up. The armor was too heavy. Every time he used it, his back would ache and his legs would cramp. It was more tiring than running ten thousand meters.
"After that, I will install a simple chip in your armor to detect the situation outside. I will also give you a set of fire control system that will allow your long-range weapons to aim automatically."
"If time allows, I will equip you with a set of simple melee weapons."
"Okay!" Zhang Wei was overjoyed. He had completely turned into a salted fish that was shouting 666.
Han Xiao suddenly changed the topic. "Of course, all of this will be charged. The total is 360,000 yuan."
"How much?"
Zhang Wei's heart sank. He only had less than a million yuan in savings.
"You think it's expensive?" Han Xiao glanced at him.
Zhang Wei hurriedly nodded.
"Are your parents still alive?"
Zhang Wei was stunned. "Why are you asking this? They are all dead."
"Do you have any siblings?"
"I am the only son in my family."
"Do you have a wife or a girlfriend?"
"No, no, I am alone."
Han Xiao tilted his head and had a strange look on his face. "Then why are you saving money?"
Thousands of arrows pierced the heart!
"Huff … Stop talking, I will pay!" Zhang Wei painfully clutched his chest. He felt like his heart was being attacked by a hundred thousand rhinoceroses.
…
Han Xiao would not act until he saw the hare. After receiving the advance payment from Zhang Wei, he started to modify the prototype of the Wearer Armor.
[Basic Energy Theory] Level 3. Han Xiao had the technology to strengthen the power of the energy source. He did not want to modify Zhang Wei's armor, so he did not want to create a new energy source blueprint. Of course, he would keep the good stuff for himself.
He could use blueprints for the power frame and detection chip. These two types were more common.
Do you wish to proceed with knowledge fusion? (Lv.1 Basic Wide Area Sensing + Lv.2 Basic Virtual Electronics) This fusion will cost you 10,000 EXP.
Do you wish to proceed with knowledge fusion? (Lv.2 Basic Mechanical Theory + Lv.4 Basic Mechanical Engineering) This fusion will cost you 10,000 EXP.
Fusion successful. Congratulations on developing the [Low Level Smart Chip]!
Fusion successful. Congratulations on developing [K600 Power Endoskeleton]!
These were two very common mechanical blueprints. It could be said that they were blueprints that most Mechanics would have. Han Xiao was not surprised that he was able to fuse them in one go.
Low-level Smart Chip was also sold on the market. The difference was that after unlocking the blueprints, Han Xiao could make it himself and program it as he wished. Seeing the word 'low-level', Han Xiao knew that there would be a higher-level version of this blueprint in the future. The high-level AI of large robots or the system that controlled vehicles or battleships were all high-level versions of this blueprint.
The K600 Power Endoskeleton was one of the basic models of the Power Endoskeleton series.
The Power Endoskeleton was worn directly on the body, and the Power Endoskeleton was the internal power structure of the full-body armor. It was hidden inside the armor and functioned similar to the Power Endoskeleton, providing extra power. The Power Endoskeleton was a prerequisite to creating Power Armors. It was not hard to guess the more advanced applications. Small Mechanical Armors, Medium Mechanical Armors, Large Mechanical Armors, Very Large Mechanical Armors, and so on …
Han Xiao took apart the outer armor of the Combatant and exposed the intricate components inside. Han Xiao sized it up for a while before starting to work.
First, he increased the power of the power source. Then, he built the frame, made the processing chip, and bought some cameras, detectors, and red heat sensors as detection equipment.
On the morning of the fourth day, he finally finished modifying the Combatant Armor.
The exterior was still black and heavy, but the interior was like sh * t. He finally had the prototype of a Power Armor.
However, there was not enough time to make melee weapons, so Han Xiao gave up. It was normal to take money but not do anything. He had even put the order for the high-explosive ammunition on hold for half a month.
Han Xiao yawned and looked at the interface.
[Combatant Armor] derivation progress: 2%.
Reverse-Engineering blueprints was one of the ways for Mechanics to obtain blueprints. The requirements were very strict. Usually, when one was stuck at a certain point, they would be prompted with prerequisites. For example, when the research was at thirty percent, a 'Intelligence Requirement greater than XX' requirement would suddenly pop up. Only after that could the research continue. Even if the research was full, a large amount of EXP would be required to learn the blueprint.
The core of the [Combatant Armor] was the Mechanic class Advanced Knowledge [Heavy Mechanical Modification]. This prerequisite would probably pop up when the research was at fifty percent. The Combatant Armor blueprint was not a necessity for Han Xiao, so he did not bother with it.
Today was the day of departure. The team of four gathered in the garage. Lin Yao looked at the computer and suddenly said, "We've gathered at the eastern sentry post."
"Okay, get in the car!" Zhang Wei said with a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ya Lin rushed to the driver's seat at lightning speed. She stared at Han Xiao nervously and said, "Erm, can I drive?"
Han Xiao rubbed his eyes. He had stayed up for a few days and was so sleepy that he felt like he was going to ascend to heaven. Therefore, he did not insist. He told Li Ya Lin to drive steadily and walked to the cargo compartment. He took a few backpacks and used them as blankets before lying down to sleep.
Li Ya Lin heaved a sigh of relief. She felt like she had just escaped death. She did not even have the strength to complain that Han Xiao had the guts to ask her to drive steadily.
Seeing that Han Xiao was going to sleep, the rest of them sat in the driver's seat and did not disturb Han Xiao.
…
West Capital, eastern sentry post, military train station.
The higher-ups attached great importance to the attack on the Dark Crow Valley base. This time, Division 13 had sent three secret operations teams to participate in this large-scale joint operation.
One was Zhang Wei's team, and the other was Ma Qing Yang's team. They were the team that Zhang Wei had rescued.
The last team was the ace team of the secret operations department, Di Su Su's team. She was the team leader.
At this time, the two secret operations teams were waiting at the train station. Next to them was an officer from the General Staff Department. He would be the advisor and supervisor to control the operations of the secret operations team.
There were precedents in the past. Every secret operations team was made up of elite agents with strong opinions. It was easy for them to have disagreements during operations, and they would act separately. In the end, accidents would occur during the mission. In order to deal with such situations, Division 13 had adjusted their personnel strategy. When there were multiple teams working together, a member of the General Staff Department would be assigned to oversee the overall situation.
The officers of the General Staff Department would study all kinds of battlefield commanding knowledge throughout the year. Before a mission, they would gather information about the team members and come up with strategies for the operation. Although the secret operations team members all agreed that the staff officers were useless except for writing battle reports and carrying the blame, the rules were rules. As long as the staff officers did not interfere, everyone would be safe.
"Why isn't Zhang Wei here yet? What time is it?"
Ma Qing Yang looked up at the sun and took a puff of his cigarette. He had a good relationship with Zhang Wei, and the relationship between the two teams was also good.
Di Su Su was waiting on the other side with her team. She was playing with a coin in her hand. She was looking forward to meeting Li Ya Lin. She was excited to be able to bully Li Ya Lin again. She was also very curious about Li Ya Lin's new teammate, the mechanic named Han Xiao.
Qi Bai Jia rubbed his beautiful eyebrows. His eyes were hurt by the reflection of the coin. He had no choice but to turn his face away.
The rumbling sound of an engine could be heard from afar. Just by listening to the sound, one could imagine the immense power of the engine. Even through his boots, he could feel the slight trembling of the ground. Qi Bai Jia looked towards the source of the sound. A ferocious-looking, huge military modified heavy truck was slowly approaching.
Ma Qing Yang threw away his cigarette and extinguished it with the tip of his foot.
Di Su Su clenched her hand and caught the coin in her palm.
Qi Bai Jia raised his hand and adjusted his collar.
