After seeing Alice, Duncan remembered something he had forgotten. Today he was going to observe soldiers training!

After sorting out his image, he took the car with Alice to the training ground of the special operations forces.

There is an underground shooting range under the indoor training range of the special operations forces, but this underground shooting range was demolished and expanded into a new huge space six months ago.

This has become a training ground for Umbrella's advance team members who will be sent to another world, and it is also a place to test new equipment.

The first holographic virtual reality game system developed with the help of Toolman Ultron was invested here. The computer room is connected to 200 game helmets. The soldiers need to train for more than 4.5 hours in the game and another 6 hours in reality.

Usually there is physical training in the morning, game training in the afternoon, and some gun training in the evening.

Studying theoretical knowledge on Saturdays and Sundays, day after day, has been repeated for four months.

Most of the time, there are competitions between two hundred people. Occasionally, there will be war dungeons, where you fight robots, zombies, and ugly alien creatures.

Among these two hundred people, one hundred were elite clone soldiers who had survived half a year of training in a third world country.

The other 100 people are ordinary people who have received rigorous training, and are temporarily led by retired military officers from various places. They all like fighting in virtual games. They do not need to take risks and can relieve stress. In addition to simulating the pain after being shot,

Apart from the slight pain of the continuous electric shock, there is nothing dissatisfying about it.

In the 100-man competition, the clone soldiers who had been instilled with memories and lacked reverence for life carried out orders more strictly than the ordinary people who had been trained. They often suppressed the ordinary soldiers and beat them.

The other side was beaten with so much resentment that it was not until they learned to use various strange tactics to fight that the situation of being suppressed and beaten was relieved.

The major, who serves as an instructor and commander for ordinary soldiers, has long thrown away some of the knowledge he learned in the army. In the face of the absolute gap in quality, only unexpected thinking can win the war.

This idea is passed on to every ordinary soldier who is trained through the instructors, which is very good. Clones should help each other with ordinary people to best exert their power.

The SUV drove into the training ground and after parking the car, Duncan and Alice went underground through the elevator.

The transparent elevator was only covered by railings. When it descended, the two of them could already see the overall situation of the training ground.

The underground training ground is divided into two floors. The second floor is a weapons testing area, and the first floor is a theoretical learning area and a place where game cabins are stored.

The individual combat system has become mature after being modified countless times. Duncan came to see this, so he went directly to the negative second floor.

The facilities on the second floor are very simple. There is a place to store new equipment, and there are two separate spaces, one is a fixed shooting range, and the other is a larger simulation environment.

Ultron copied all the information in the Stark Industries database, including Stark's personal research results. The powered exoskeleton is nothing more than emasculating most of the functions of the suit and making some minor modifications.

It took less than half a month to produce the first set of finished products, and now, the powered exoskeleton has been upgraded to version 3.5.

Due to the different demands brought by the use environment, the powered exoskeleton is only used as a plug-in. When equipped, it needs to be installed and worn in different combat uniforms to achieve the best effect.

Moreover, it is not possible to put a powered exoskeleton directly outside the body. If it is hit by a bullet or is hit violently, it may become unusable without buffering.

Ultron gave three options during manufacturing: making mechanical units to assist human soldiers in combat, and not developing powered exoskeletons.

Use a not too outrageous castrated version of the full-body armor, which provides full-body protection and can still fly.

The powered exoskeleton is covered with two layers of fiber and equipped with bulletproof inserts and shock-absorbing inserts. After use, it is similar to ordinary soldiers wearing heavy body armor, and the whole person will look particularly bloated.

Duncan asked military experts and hired instructors to discuss together and finally finalized the third plan. The reason was that the third plan was very stable, low-cost, suitable for large-scale deployment, and they could afford it.

After the plan was determined, and after careful design modifications, there were only two types of powered exoskeleton suits that were finally put on the table, the unnamed bulletproof suit and the flight suit.

The bulletproof suit is an exoskeleton wrapped in a combat uniform with the highest bulletproof level. The metal parts are all covered with chemical fiber fabrics, and the limbs, chest and abdomen of the combat suit are filled with a large number of bulletproof inserts.

Driven by a powered exoskeleton, the overall weight of the insert board can be bearable by ordinary people, and its flexibility is about the same as wearing a fully equipped Interceptor body armor currently in service in the US military.

The overall suit looks very wide and heavy. When you put it on, it's like a child wearing adult clothes, and your head will look smaller in comparison.

However, after removing the insert plate and tightening the adduction rope, the clothes will become more suitable. After the exoskeleton energy is exhausted, the weight can still be removed for flexible combat.

Duncan wants to focus on bulletproof models because the protection level of this equipment is very high. Only those who survive can output it. Bulletproof suits work best in complex environments.

The battery of the powered exoskeleton can support their continuous combat for about 72 hours. They can also carry a few more batteries to fight for more than a week. With the power supply of the small Ark reactor on the drone, they can fight for more than ten days without any problem.

In addition to bulletproof suits, there are also flight suits.

The flying suit is a flying device of a lightly castrated Hydra soldier. It is equipped with anti-gravity devices on the chest, back and legs. The protection level is not as high as the bulletproof suit because of the addition of the flying device.

The movement speed of this equipment is very impressive. When equipped on a sniper who needs to change positions at any time, it will be easier to escape when being chased.

The drone in the individual combat system is connected to an exoskeleton and is used by each person. The shape and function of the drone are designed by designers from the military industry department of the Umbrella Company.

They had a heated discussion on the issue of size. Some designers said that the role of the drone is only to detect and target enemies, and the smaller the size, the better.

Some designers also say that the load capacity of the drone can provide soldiers with more ammunition, and when necessary, the drone can also take the ground soldiers to climb over obstacles, so it needs to be larger.

The two sides had a heated discussion, and the final result was that they wanted both.

Create different types of drones according to the positioning of soldiers, targeting enemies, assassinating, assaulting, carrying, and medical treatment.

In the simulation environment, a five-person team is conducting a simulated battle among obstacles.

Duncan and Alice came to the observation room and observed the performance of the soldiers through the camera on the ceiling.

There are five soldiers, four wearing bulletproof suits and one wearing a flight suit.

Their weapons are also different, and the bags they carry are also different.

Scout, assaulter, fireman, medic, sniper.

The scouts, assaulters and medics are armed with new assault rifles independently developed by Umbrella Company. The firemen are armed with the Belgian M249 Minimi light machine gun, which is a general-purpose machine gun used by the US military.

The weight of 7.5 kilograms is not heavy in the hand after putting on the powered exoskeleton, and you don't feel tired when moving slowly with the gun in hand.

The remaining snipers also use sniper rifles independently developed by Umbrella Company. Team operations require more firepower, so sniper rifles with higher power and accuracy are not used.

The five-person team formed a formation and walked through the obstacles. The sniper was at the back of the team, together with the half-man-sized load-bearing and medical drone.

The remaining three drones were hovering around, and the reconnaissance drones directly used thermal induction and infrared scanning to find the target in advance.

Before the hidden target could step out from behind the obstacle, the grenade rolled past, a red light flashed, and the dummy fell to the ground.

Immediately, dummies appeared from all directions, infrared sensors flashed continuously, and the red dots shining on several people's bodies meant they were shot.

The five soldiers faced the concentrated fire attack of the four-panel room dummy. They fired continuously with their guns, covering each other and spreading out. The drones hovering in the sky opened their launch holes and launched a large number of micro-missiles at the targets that appeared.

The micro-missile did not explode after impacting the dummy. The time from the completion of the investigation to the end of the battle did not exceed 2 seconds. The red dots of the family members did not illuminate many people. At most, they were a little confused when all the enemies appeared.

However, with the support of micro-missiles mounted on drones, there is still a high probability that you can escape when under siege.

The test was fairly successful.

Duncan didn't know there was anything that needed improvement, something that commanders and those in the weapons department should be thinking about.

He just came to see the fun and asked the instructor about the training situation. He wanted to know whether the first two hundred people to be trained could carry out new exploration missions?

The door to the new world had been opened a few days ago. Through the portal, Duncan only saw a dense forest. Before the portal solidified, it was one-way. Unless Duncan went directly through it, he could completely escape from the world of Resident Evil.

people return.

He didn't do that, he just threw a few drones into that world, and more in-depth exploration had to wait until all the equipment was available.

Because through the multi-angle images of the portal, Duncan saw stones suspended in mid-air and various strange animals and plants, which looked nothing like the parallel world Earth.
