Chapter Nineteen: Combat Suit Test

  In a remote mountainous area in the north, there is a secret government experimental base. This is the country's most advanced research facility. Today, many of the main leaders from various departments have secretly gathered at this usually deserted facility to witness a demonstration of new equipment that can supposedly change the combat effectiveness of troops.

  At this moment, in a spacious experimental field, a tester wearing a black special combat suit is waiting for the test plan command. Today's protagonist is that very sci-fi colored black combat suit on his body, which looks very similar to the nanosuit in the game Crysis. This combat suit perfectly outlines the wearer's physique according to human engineering, making it look very powerful.

  As a voice of "Experiment Start" echoed in the command tower, the test of new equipment officially began.

  Only to see the tester wearing a combat suit, first jumped up towards a five-story experimental model building in front of him with all his might. The whole person jumped to a height of 5-6 meters without using any tools, completely breaking the human high jump limit, and successfully landed on the third floor of the experimental building.

  Immediately afterwards, the tester jumped towards the opposite rooftop, exerting force from his feet and then leaping again, clearing a distance of about 7 meters, landing smoothly on the opposite rooftop. This distance also broke the farthest standing jump record for humans.

  Then the tester directly jumped down from the third floor and landed safely on the ground. He walked to a wall in front of him, punched it with great force, and instantly created a hole the size of his fist on the wall.

  The last tester started to sprint around the entire test field, and the result was that the short-distance explosive power exceeded that of the African cheetah, which is the fastest runner on Earth over short distances, achieving a score of 5 seconds per hundred meters.

  After seeing the test results of the computer display, all the leaders of the relevant departments who came to watch this new equipment nodded in satisfaction and began to discuss it. They had already seen the performance of this new equipment with their own eyes, which was indeed extraordinary. If a large number of troops are equipped, it will play a very important role in the combat effectiveness of the army.

  Professor Wu Tian, the person in charge of this project, saw the enthusiastic discussion among the military leaders about the combat uniform and introduced it to them very politely: "General, what you just watched is the bio-electric current technology we obtained some time ago. In conjunction with the special combat uniform independently developed and researched by our country, an enhanced combat uniform has been improved. It can stimulate the muscles of the human body through bioelectric currents, allowing the wearer to exert much greater strength than ordinary people."

  "Through the experimental data just obtained, the user's power reaction and other aspects have been increased by at least three times compared to before wearing the combat suit. In other words, if an ordinary person wears such a combat suit, they can immediately reach or even exceed the level of a well-trained special forces soldier in terms of strength and reaction. At the same time, this combat suit exerts its power based on the user's physical qualities, so if the user's physical condition is better, the combat suit will exert greater combat effectiveness. Therefore, if our troops' well-trained soldiers use it, the exerted power will be even more formidable."

  At this time, a military leader in the crowd spoke up and asked: "Now that we have seen the unique performance of this combat suit in enhancing physical strength, how about its defensive capabilities?"

  This combat suit doesn't look like it has strong defensive capabilities at all. For the safety of soldiers' lives, military personnel have to understand this aspect. Otherwise, even if this combat suit can enhance human strength but has low defense capabilities, it will not be adopted by troops after all, as it is a matter of life and death.

  Professor Wu Tian immediately smiled and said to the military personnel who raised the question: "The main body of this combat suit is our newly developed new-style bulletproof vest. The whole set of clothes is made of the latest synthetic materials, with a strong anti-ballistic effect! Moreover, we have also developed a ceramic armor that can be embedded in the combat uniform to further enhance its defensive capabilities. Although it will increase some weight, under the enhancement of bioelectricity, the wearer should be able to bear this extra weight."

  Upon hearing about the additional equipment on the combat uniform, a military leader thought for a moment before asking: "What is the cost of this combat uniform? Can it be mass-produced in a short period of time to equip the troops?"

  The military is very concerned about any equipment that can improve the combat effectiveness of troops, but in terms of procurement, they all emphasize a reasonable price-performance ratio. If the equipment is too expensive, the military will not make large-scale purchases without special circumstances, after all, the military expenditure is there. And this high-performance combat uniform in front of them is estimated to be not cheap.

  Professor Wu Tian replied very seriously: "The cost is probably around 2 million yuan, and we do not yet have the capability for large-scale production, so it is impossible to produce on a large scale in a short period of time."

  When the military personnel heard that the combat uniform was as high as 2 million yuan per piece, their faces changed and became much more serious. Such a high production cost is not good news for the military, which has limited military funds in peacetime. Moreover, if this combat uniform wants to form an effective fighting force in large-scale battles, it needs to be equipped on a large scale. If the production cost does not decrease, the troops will not be able to purchase and produce it on a large scale.

  Professor Wu Tian saw the serious expressions of a group of military personnel and also sighed in his heart. The performance of this combat suit is indeed excellent, but the price is really too expensive. This is mainly because the manufacturing cost of the micro-circuit of bio-electric current technology is too high.

  "After a brief silence, the highest-ranking elder on site gave a firm order: 'Temporarily produce a batch of new combat suits as soon as possible and allocate them to elite personnel in several special departments. Strive to obtain accurate performance evaluations in actual combat within the shortest time possible. If the test results are satisfactory, start small-scale production for equipping a trial unit.'"

  Professor Wu Tian immediately turned to one side and said to the old chief: "Chief, our laboratory now has more than a dozen spare combat suits that can be provided to a battalion for trial testing. However, it is not possible to equip the troops on a large scale in a short period of time. The manufacturing process of combat suits is relatively complicated, and we do not have a regular production line at present!"

  The old leader thought for a moment and then said seriously to Professor Wu Tian, "I will report these issues to the central government immediately and mobilize resources to prioritize the production of combat uniforms as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about it. Also, the intelligence on the combat uniform must be kept confidential. By the way, I heard that the bio-electric current technology on this combat uniform was something the government spent a lot of money to get?"

  When the old premier suddenly asked about this matter, Chen Mo, the director of the National Security Bureau, immediately replied: "Yes, Premier, and after our investigation, the person who sold this technology is a citizen of our country. This is unmistakable. However, the other party's actions are extremely cunning, and we have not found their specific location!"

  The old leader was very familiar with the capabilities of the National Security Bureau, and it was extremely rare that they couldn't even find the person this time. He asked in puzzlement: "I remember that last time your National Security Bureau deployed a large number of elite personnel to a city in the south, how come you still can't find the person?"

  Director Chen replied to the old leader's question with a sweating face: "Report to the leader, according to our team members who fought against them, they also developed equipment similar to the combat suit we just saw. Moreover, they relied on it to injure several of our elite personnel and then disappeared without a trace!"

  The situation was like this, the old leader knew that after seeing the strength displayed by the combat uniform just now, he also knew that the National Security Bureau had done its best. If the other party also has such equipment, then ordinary people are indeed not opponents.

  The old leader immediately ordered the National Security Bureau: "No matter what, we must find the person who invented this technology and make him serve the country. The private ownership of such weapons is a great threat to social stability. You must intensify your search efforts!"

  To avoid the occurrence of the event you just mentioned, where opportunities are missed due to being outmatched by the opponent's equipment, all remaining new combat suits at the institute will be immediately allocated to personnel currently conducting pursuit missions, increasing their combat effectiveness! Remember that if the opponent resists, try to capture them without causing serious harm to the target.

  "Affirmative, Comrade Commander! The task will be accomplished resolutely!"

  Director Chen is now somewhat confident in his heart about this arduous task, but the difficulty of this task has not decreased at all. Since the last transaction with the other party, the National Security Bureau has completely lost track of the other party, and that guy has never appeared on the network again. Now their only clue is that if the other party can develop such technology, they will have corresponding large-scale experimental facilities, so the National Security Bureau has started secretly investigating various research institutions across the country, and also sent people to continue searching in Luoshan City where the other party was discovered last time.

  The old chief asked Director Chen Mo again, "When I heard the report of this matter, it mentioned that the other party had sold another technology before, and it may have fallen into the hands of the Americans?"

  Director Chen immediately replied with a flushed face: "Yes, comrade. When we discovered them, their transaction had already been completed through the network. We were powerless to stop it!"

  The old leader finally spoke again after a moment of contemplation: "Since that technology has fallen into the hands of the Americans, we can only get it back from the person who sold out the technology. This matter is now in the hands of the National Security Bureau, don't let us down!"

  ··············································································

  At this time, Mu Chen Xing and others in Lushan City did not know that they had been remembered by the government again.

  This time, in order to continue searching for the traces of Mudan Star, the government has also allocated the combat suits that have been developed to strengthen the capture action.

  It seems that the government is determined to track them down, but it's not going to be easy to deal with Mudan Xing and his group.
