Xiangchuan looked at the thick outer armor in front of him and sighed in his heart: He really came to the future world with the SF background...
If the gravity-free cars, fully-automated kitchens and robot waiters you see at home and on the street are products of elementary school students' science fiction imagination, then the wrapped body in front of you looks like it would appear in "Ray X" or "War Machine"
The training outer armor is a product of science fiction imagination at the middle school student level.
——It’s not that she has played these games, but that the leader of a certain group in their company’s publicity department is a very loyal fan, and every now and then he puts some private pictures on the PPT used for the monthly product meeting, back and forth.
All the female employees in their marketing department have memorized the name of the game.
Since I haven’t actually played the game, Kagawa’s imaginary diagram of the heavy training armor moving is completely based on Tony Stark’s cool equipment in the movie. Don’t ask, just ask if you watch the movie at the monthly company party.
.Although Tony Stark is indeed handsome.
While Kagawa was looking at these behemoths nearly two meters high with a blank look on his face, the members of the physical education department in each class couldn't sit still and rushed to apply to be the first to conduct heavy outer armor simulation training.
Come on! Heavy outer armor! This is a giant thing that will only be used when exploring non-gas giant planets! It is something that you usually don’t have the opportunity to ride even on a force escort! Now you can actually test ride it!
Even if it is just a training machine, it is enough to make these sports club students who usually study a lot of exoskeletons and exoskeletons look like hungry wolves pouncing on food.
Naturally, non-sports clubs such as Kagawa or the squad leader choose to let those who are willing to have enough fun before trying it. Anyway, it is a prescribed training, and everyone who sees it has a share.
"But then again, why are there so many training machines?" Liang Gong looked at the training ground. There were nearly a hundred heavy-duty training external armors placed here. Normally, training machines of this size would only appear on the ninth ship.
For fleets such as the 10th Fleet or the 10th Fleet that explore routes or develop planetary resources, their own fleets are engaged in agriculture. When they go near non-gaseous giant planets, they only have force escorts to collect a certain amount of planetary soil and convert it into energy or energy.
Fertilizer needed to maintain nutrients in the land.
"I heard my mother mention that the heavy outer armor of our escort ships was to be replaced with new models. The old ones were retired. Maybe they were used by this base and converted into training aircraft?" Nancy explained.
"Nancy, don't you try it? I remember you are also in the engineering club, right?" Xiangchuan looked at her curiously.
"During the holidays, my mother and I went to the construction site and basically opened up all the outer armor. We have also opened up the latest trial machines. Now I can operate these batches to carry construction materials when I was in elementary school." Nancy looked up proudly.
He looked at his peers who were sitting in the outer armor operating compartment under the guidance of teachers and instructors. The implication was that seniors, I won’t compete with you juniors for old toys.
"Changing so many units at once?" Aino frowned, "Does our fleet have so much liquidity?"
"Huh? Are these expensive?" As soon as Xiangchuan opened her mouth, she received the helpless looks from people around her, like they were looking at little fools. She raised her eyebrows: It doesn't matter, I'm immune.
"Expensive, very expensive." As the only expert among the people present, Nancy started to explain, "A heavy-duty outer armor allows you to build twenty kitchens equipped with tongue-in-cheek restaurants in Xianggawa. Do you think it is expensive?"<
/p>
Um...
Regarding this metaphor, Xiangchuan had a hard time. Let’s just say it wasn’t expensive. Last week, she suddenly lost a third of the pocket money she had saved since she was a child. Let’s say it was expensive, which was half of her life’s pocket money.
The level of money, compared to those missile radars in her previous life that cost less than what she would have earned in ten lifetimes of working in the company, it seems that they are not that expensive...?
This is how people’s view of money is distorted.
Looking at Xiangchuan's confused and confused expression, Ouyang Yating and Ainuo, who had not been together for long but had a good grasp of her brain circuits, knew that their president must be thinking about something.
"Nancy, Aino, go ahead, leave her alone." Ouyang Yating urged. She only had a rough understanding of the outer armor, and now it was time to listen to what professionals said.
Looking at Xiangchuan's strange expression, Nancy couldn't help laughing, but she still explained seriously: "The hardware cost of an outer armor is basically 40 million to 50 million stars. These are actually the most expensive peripherals.
The cheap and most critical drive system was purchased from the 10th Fleet. An outer armor system costs nearly 200 million stars, not counting the cost of regular maintenance."
Two hundred million! When Xiangchuan heard this number, he had a sense of reality that these iron lumps were very expensive, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
Ainuo continued what she said: "In terms of cost alone, one outer armor costs 200 million to 300 million stars. More than 100 units are not just as simple as 20 to 30 billion, but also involve maintenance costs and the like.
The average annual military expenses and development funds of our fleet add up to more than 10 billion. The main ship escort group, armed escort ships and the Energy Development Bureau all scramble for this amount of funds every year. How can the government have extra funds to replace it?
More than a hundred external armors?"
"Maybe... the funds were temporarily increased?" Xiangchuan guessed with a confused look.
"The economic backwardness of the Third Ship Group is not something that happened in the past two hundred years. Where did our ship group come from with tens of billions of working capital that we can use casually? If there really was so much money, the Education Bureau and the Agriculture Bureau would have taken it away first.
, which round will get the military department and the Energy Development Bureau?" Aino said.
Then...where did these more than a hundred training aircraft and the heavy outer armor that filled their gaps come from?
With complicated doubts, everyone looked at the heavy outer armor that was twisting or moving flexibly on the training ground.
However, thanks to the approximately one hundred heavy-duty outer armor units, and under the stipulation that each person can test ride for fifteen minutes, it was soon the turn of Kagawa, who was ranked last.
To be honest, since the last time she experienced the weird sphere in physics class, Kagawa has been a little bit PTSD from this modern sealed device, but after all, it is a part of training, and she was forced to sit in it by the teacher and instructor.
Operation warehouse.
"Relax, the operation is almost the same as a machine exoskeleton." The instructor comforted.
But the problem is that she has never even operated a robotic exoskeleton! It is true that there is this memory in "memory", but when was that all? Before elementary school!
Just when Kagawa was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to rush out of the operation compartment, the heavy outer armor suddenly closed and locked her tightly.
So dark! So narrow! So scary! This paragraph, like a cry from an ancient comic, appears in Xiangchuan's mind right now.
She subconsciously wanted to wave her hands to struggle, but then she found that her hands could move freely...?
[Yes, keep it this way.] The instructor's voice came from the communicator inside the heavy outer armor, [The outer armor is equipped with brainwave induction, and there are nerve inductions in the joints. As long as you keep your brain awake, you can silently recite your next step in your heart.
behavior, then the outer armor can move freely as usual.】
She followed the instructor's instructions and tried to do something, and she was able to move around freely. Although it felt a little weird to walk without her feet touching the ground, it was still better than the weird sphere in physics class. But a new problem also appeared.p>
"Instructor, I can't see the front, how do I open the main view screen?"
After taking the first step, Xiangchuan didn't dare to move because her eyes were completely dark.
[Try closing your eyes and then slowly opening them, imagining that you wake up and see your surroundings.]
Close your eyes, open your eyes, and then everything becomes dark.
"Instructor, I still can't see anything."
【Eh? This is really weird.】
So Kagawa's heavy outer armor simulation training became main-view screen repair training.
Not far away, Ouyang Yating held her forehead, Ainuo looked at the sky, and Liang Gong smiled bitterly.
Chapter completed!
