467: Chapter 466: A Climax After Climax!

"Did I hear that right? Civilian use?! Exoskeleton Armor?!?"

"Is this for real? Didn't Chief Designer Lin say it would take several years for military-to-civilian conversion??"

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"

"They've gone crazy! This year's Spring Festival Gala has completely lost its mind!"

"..."

On the giant screen, the 3D model of the Kunlun Generation II Civil Exoskeleton Armor began to rotate slowly.

Unlike the heavy and imposing military version, the civilian version of the Kunlun Generation II appeared lighter and more streamlined.

Thousands of audience members at the venue stretched their necks from their seats, staring intently at the giant screen in the center of the stage.

That Exoskeleton Armor, outlined by light in the darkness, was filled with a cold metallic texture and an unparalleled sense of power.

Every joint seemed to be telling a story of its powerful performance.

The people of Huaxia were no strangers to the Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor.

Especially that image from two years ago, where it descended like a divine soldier during the live-fire exercise of the eight-nation aircraft carrier fleet in the East Sea; it had long been deeply etched into the minds of every Huaxia citizen.

Since then, whether in military operations, military parades, or emergency rescue missions... the presence of the Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor could be found in every city across the vast land of Huaxia.

This steel suit, which earned the reputation of "King of the Land" and was a strategic weapon comparable to a Mushroom Bomb, had long since become iconic equipment for the Huaxia Heavenly Army, the Army, the Navy, and emergency rescue forces.

Because of this, no one had dared to imagine before that such a national treasure could have the words "civilian use" attached to it in just over a year, and then be announced for market release to be sold to everyone.

This was no longer a pleasant surprise; it was a total shock!

In Jiangcheng, Grandpa Liu, who was shoveling dumplings into his mouth, leaned in close to the television and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"What did Kang Guang just say? Xiao Ming, did he just say the Exoskeleton Armor is going to be on the market?"

"Grandpa, you heard it right!! It's the Exoskeleton Armor!!"

Liu Xiaoming's face flushed with excitement. "The Exoskeleton Armor developed by Brother Xiaomo, the one that saved our house from the fire before!!"

"My god... this... can this thing really be sold?"

Grandpa Liu was a bit incoherent. "Besides, if we buy this thing, what can we ordinary folks do with it? Wear it to go grocery shopping?"

"Grandpa, your perspective is too narrow!"

"With this thing, let alone grocery shopping, you could freaking wear it to climb Mount Everest!"

"..."

On the internet, it had already turned into a boiling ocean.

The bullet comments on major social media platforms, after freezing for a few seconds, surged out in a vengeful frenzy, so dense that the screen was completely obscured.

"Ahhhhh! I'm going crazy! I'm really going crazy! I haven't even digested the news about Yuegui City, and now the officials are hitting me with something this explosive?..."

"Chief Designer Lin! Dad! Godfather!! Please, just tell me the price, I'll sell everything I own to buy one!"

"Flesh is weak, mechanical ascension is the way!"

"Holy crap!! How long is the battery life of the Exoskeleton Armor??! And what about maintenance??! Do we mail it back to the factory if it breaks??!..."

"I just want to know right now, is this for real?!..."

Countless questions, speculations, raptures, and worries swept across the entire Huaxia internet in just a few dozen seconds.

The shock brought by Yuegui City had not yet subsided when the explosive news of the Kunlun Generation II Civil Exoskeleton Armor launch pushed the climax of the Spring Festival Gala up several notches.
