21BBY, January 20, the area controlled by the fourth civilization, the Model sector, the prison planet Sonel.
On the edge of a desert in the southern hemisphere of the planet, a very large experimental base was built. The outermost edge of the base was surrounded by a circle of barbed wire. At the entry and exit checkpoints, hundreds of B-1 combat robots patrolled day and night.
The sign hanging on the barbed wire clearly says - 'Property of Dawn Planet Engineering Department, no entry allowed!'. Behind the sign are signs of high-voltage electricity hazards, nuclear energy hazards, biochemical hazards and other dangers.
Occasionally, you can see the remains of some animals that accidentally wandered in, were electrocuted by the high-voltage electricity on the barbed wire fence, or were killed by the B-1 combat robot. These remains were left outside to dry in the sun and rain without being cleaned.
Many of them have turned into bones, bringing some gloom and terror to this experimental base.
Inside this base, thousands of researchers are divided into hundreds of technical teams and are intensively conducting their own research.
It can be seen that in a laboratory, researchers are installing a mechanized exoskeleton on a prisoner. It can be clearly seen that this mechanized exoskeleton has many attachment points and can be equipped with a large number of external devices.
This is also the reason why this base is set up on the prison planet Sonel, because some prisoners can be directly used for experiments. Although most of these weapon experiments are not dangerous, there is no way to completely guarantee it, let alone join
If the weapons test passes, these prisoners will be given the opportunity to join the Beast Legion, and they will have priority in using these weapons after they are installed. Naturally, many prisoners will be willing to join.
After the installation was completed, under the guidance of the researchers, the prisoner began to control the exoskeleton to perform various movements. At first, all movements were completed perfectly, but later, the researchers asked him to run twice around the field wearing the exoskeleton. Photo of the prisoner
After doing it, he started running fast. You can see that with the help of the mechanized exoskeleton, he ran faster and faster, and finally even exceeded 70 kilometers per hour!
But suddenly, the prisoner screamed loudly and started jumping around. Then he only saw thick smoke coming out of the exoskeleton engine on the lower back!
Several B-1 robots at the scene immediately picked up the fire extinguisher and ran over, but they were a step too slow. The exoskeleton engine suddenly exploded, and soon the flames began to spread and the prisoner was burned into a burning man.
The screams became smaller and smaller, and when the flames were extinguished, only the charred remains of the exoskeleton and the prisoners who had turned into a pile of black ashes were left.
Researcher A covered his forehead and groaned: "Ah... why did it fail again?"
"The micro cold fusion reactor is still unstable..." Another researcher B quickly operated on the computer and checked the feedback data, "Go and recover the wreckage and let me see where the fire started."
"Just running will not cause the reactor to overheat. It should have lasted too long and there was a problem with the laser restraint device, causing energy to leak and cause a fire." Researcher A shook his head and said.
At this time, the B-1 robot had already moved the remains over. As for the remaining ashes of the prisoner, they had already started flushing them and flushed them directly into the sewer.
Researcher B looked at the remains of the exoskeleton and said: "You are right, the J-11 laser restraint device malfunctioned, causing restraint failure and energy leakage. How long did our test last? Half an hour? In short,
Please report the test results to Dr. Otto, the technology of micro cold fusion reactor has not yet reached the stage of practical application."
"Here's the problem. Dr. Otto has hardly been out in the past two months...not even Dr. Rory Swann and Dr. Zhang Jiarui." Researcher A spread his hands, "To be honest, if only Rory Swann had been out,
I think it would have been more exciting if Wang and Zhang Jiarui had been locked up in the laboratory. Maybe there would be some sparks between the two of them! Now add Dr. Otto, forget it, they are probably really there
What kind of subject are you doing?"
"But this CMC-300 power armor project cannot be stopped..." Researcher B said, "Dr. Otto applied for the research project, and he also requested the funds. The base also allocated it to him, and now he is doing nothing about it.
But Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao is waiting for the results!"
"But we can't solve this problem..." Researcher A scratched his head.
Researcher B thought for a while and said: "Maybe... there is no need to solve it? We just need to be able to make CMC-300 run stably for one to two hours, maybe that's it? After fighting a battle, then stop and rest for a while,
Let the restraints cool down."
"Two hours?" Researcher A clicked a few times on the computer, "It's impossible, one hour is the limit!"
"Then... just add a line in the instructions for use? It can only be operated by prisoners?" Researcher B said.
"This is not possible! Let prisoners operate the latest type of power armor of our army? This proposal is impossible to pass even if you think about it. What if these prisoners suddenly go crazy and start a riot? We need to know the combat performance of CMC-300.
It’s no problem to pick dozens of soldiers.” Researcher A shook his head hurriedly.
Researcher B said: "It's simple. You see, add an electrode to the back of the head of the power armor and the brainstem. As long as the officer starts the emergency procedure, this electrode will immediately release high-voltage electricity, instantly causing the prisoner inside to be brain-dead. When the power armor comes,
We can still recycle it completely!”
Researcher A's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "What a great idea! The problem is solved at the lowest cost!"
"That's it! I'll get the electric shocker first, and it should be ready in a few hours. You can lead the team to continue adjusting the miniature cold fusion reactor. It's said that we can't even operate it stably for an hour now.
We can’t do it! Don’t let Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao cancel the project then!”
"Okay! If it's a temporary solution, I really have a few plans..."
…
At the same time, in the deepest part of the experimental base, a rough and arrogant laughter was echoing.
“Hahahahahahahahaha!
!Zhang Jiarui, you have today too! Hahahahahahaha!
!" Rory Swann laughed until he was out of breath. The mechanical pliers prosthetic arm installed on his left arm opened and closed continuously, and there was a rhythmic metal collision as he laughed.
"Don't fucking tell me this!" Zhang Jiarui was so angry that he threw the glasses he was wearing on the ground and broke them into pieces. "It's those idiots in the Army who didn't realize the role of Thor at all!"
"Hahahaha! I have already said that your Thor who installs a turbolaser cannon is completely evil, do you understand? He deserves to be rejected at the Army Arms Review Meeting, hahahahahaha!
" Rory Swann laughed loudly.
"There is something wrong with the evaluation process! It must be!" Zhang Jiarui looked at Rory Swann's smiling face that wanted to be beaten, and the muscles in his body began to twitch, "Also! Give me your voice like a pregnant drake.
Stop! Unless you really want a fight!
"
"Oh! Sorry, I didn't want to laugh, but I really couldn't help it... hahahahaha!" Rory Swann still kept laughing.
Peng!
The next second, a fist as big as a bowl was stamped on his face.
