457: Chapter 457 Equipment Needs Major Upgrade

The weapons they used were neither traditional hot weapons nor laser weapons, but electromagnetic weapons.

The bullets fired were extremely hard, making them difficult for traditional materials to defend against.

However, they still lacked the power to penetrate the Combat Suit.

But even if they couldn't penetrate, being hit would still cause internal injuries.

Fortunately, all the Special Operations Team members at the base were Mutants, greatly increasing their resistance. If it were ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.

"Whoosh~"

"Bang~"

Special Operations Team members jumped out of the aircraft one after another.

They moved extremely fast, constantly dodging bullets.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Bang bang bang~"

All six mecha warriors at the laboratory entrance had arrived, standing in a line and firing wildly.

Not far away, other aircraft also opened up, and mecha warriors filed out one by one.

A total of seventy-odd mecha warriors disembarked from more than a dozen aircraft, while Dai Zheng's side had 52 team members. A ratio of 1 to 1.x was not a big problem for them.

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

After finding advantageous positions, the Special Operations Team members began to counterattack.

They wanted to see if the enemy's mechas could withstand the high temperature of lasers.

The result of the attempt was that the mechas remained unharmed.

The laser hitting the mecha was like a flashlight shining on it, leaving no trace whatsoever.

It seemed they had to get serious.

"Crack~"

One team member, who could control electricity, sent a bolt of lightning directly towards a mecha warrior.

Unfortunately, it still had no effect.

Metal mechas inherently have the ability to conduct electricity. When struck by lightning, the current tends to flow from the surface to the ground. Therefore, this method would not affect the life within the mecha.

"Bang bang bang~"

The enemy's attacks did not stop; they were gradually approaching the team members' hidden positions.

"Ah~"

One team member was unfortunately hit by a bullet.

The impact of the bullet was very strong; it might have injured his muscles.

"Wei Zichen, create wind!" Dai Zheng ordered.

"Yes!"

Wei Zichen's ability was wind, and he could currently form a powerful air vortex within a small range.

Wind itself had no destructive power, but the stirred-up dust could obstruct the enemy's vision.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

A tornado swept through the mecha battle group, raising thick dust.

This move was very effective; the gunfire quickly stopped.

"Teleportation Squad, go!" Dai Zheng gave the order again.

Twelve members of the Special Operations Team had mastered the teleportation skill, so Dai Zheng arranged them together as the vanguard for assaults.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

In an instant, the 12 team members had already rushed out.

"Clang clang clang~"

"Clang clang clang~"

The sound of metal clashing rose and fell.

Each member of the squad was equipped with a sharp dagger, its blade nanometer-treated and extremely sharp.

"Bang bang bang~"

Some mecha warriors fired in the sandstorm, indicating that this attack was effective.

"Clang~, clang~"

There was the sound of metal falling to the ground.

It was clear that the mechas were being dismantled.

No matter how sturdy a mecha, to move, it must have connecting parts similar to joints.

These parts are generally more vulnerable.

By quickly moving and attacking these parts, they could sever leg joints, elbow joints, and other areas, causing them to lose balance and fall.

"Bang bang bang~"

Some mecha warriors fired wildly in the moments before they fell, to vent their inner rage.

But this kind of attack had absolutely no effect.

Half an hour later, the sandstorm stopped, and the ground was a mess.

Fragments were scattered everywhere, and all the mecha warriors had been taken down.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Bang bang bang~"

Even though they couldn't stand up, some mecha warriors still had the ability to attack, firing wildly with their guns.

"Simulation Grenades, go!" Dai Zheng issued the command again.

"Click click click~"

Dozens of grenades were thrown simultaneously; some fell to the ground, while others stuck to the mechas.

The Simulation Grenades would automatically eject sharp metal claws upon encountering an obstacle, firmly gripping the target.

"Boom boom boom~"

Loud explosions erupted, and a large portion of the mechas were blown to smithereens.

This battle ended quickly.

Dozens of mechas were all destroyed.

Oriental Chen also observed this battle and felt that the equipment needed a major upgrade.

The technological means and combat power displayed by the suddenly appearing civilizations were truly not to be underestimated. The existing equipment seemed insufficient.

...

After five days of deliberation, Oriental Chen, with Xiao Lin's cooperation, designed several new types of weapons:

1. First-generation Light Combat Armor.

Since the manufacturing technology for cellular fiber steel had not yet been developed, the first-generation Light Combat Armor still used the same material as the Simulation Spider Robots: fiber steel.

Even using 1mm thick fiber steel, a set of armor already weighed over 50 kilograms. Such a weight would make it difficult for ordinary people to move, let alone fight.

Therefore, an auxiliary operating system had to be added.

This auxiliary operating system included a power core and power-assisted mechanical components distributed throughout the body.

With this system, people would not perceive the addition of extra weight, making it very convenient.
