“Of course, don’t worry needlessly. As long as the safety is not switched off, the high-explosive bomb has a very high safety factor. Even if you break it with your hand, there won’t be any problems at all.”
“Alright, I understand.”
“Next, I’ll talk about the most important precautions when using the Azure Dragon Armor.”
Harrison rk nodded, “I’m all ears.”
“The energy source of the Azure Dragon Armores from a small nuclear fission reactor below the breastte. With our current technology, in order to precisely control nuclear fission within this small box and prevent radiation and heat from leaking and harming the human body, we can only sacrifice overall energy supply. So, this integrated reactor can only support the continuous high-intensity consumption of an ordinary soldier for three hours. Once the power consumption exceeds the red line, the reactor will automatically cut off power supply and enter a dormant state, with only a high-energy battery to maintain minimum mobility.”
Harrison rk thought for a moment, “The serum alsosts for three hours, so the timing is just right.”
“That’s right. Of course, even if the serum loses its effect and the operator loses consciousness while the Azure Dragon Armor is still outside, the intelligent system will activate autopilot to return the operator and the Azure Dragon Armor to the nearest base. So regardless of how much serum we have left, we should always rece the integrated reactor in time. We usually carry a spare reactor with us on each mission, just in case. Remember that?”
“I remember. Oh, by the way, there are no enemies now, right? What kind of mission?”
“We’ll talk about the missionter. We have two hours and forty minutes left. Now change to the training-grade equipment.”
Daniel Thompson pointed to the equipment next to him, “In our daily real-machine training, we won’t use conventional equipment.”
“I understand, it’s to avoid identally killing our own people.”
“That’s right, once hit, even if it doesn’t result in death, the damage would be significant, and even a slight scratch would result in costly repairs. During our regr missions inside the Earth, we also use less powerful training-grade equipment. Now, start equipping yourself, you have three minutes.”
Thirty secondster, Harrison rk had fitted the training-grade alloy knife, battle shield, thermomaic gun, and conventional grenades into the reserved slots in the Azure Dragon Armor.
Meanwhile, Daniel Thompson was only halfway through.
Lion didn’t want to talk.
It’s just that he’s faster, so what!
It’s not good for a man to rush, nothing to brag about!
Just then, a whistle sounded in their ears.
Daniel Thompson was overjoyed, “Good news!”
Harrison rk asked, “What do you mean?”
“There’s a temporary mission! It’s been assigned to us at the ck Bear Training Base. Since only the two of us are currently in real-machine training and we have enough time left, let’s go! I’ll show you the taste of realbat.” As the captain, Daniel Thompson responded to the temporary order, summoning a spindle-shaped rapid shuttle transport, which took off andnded inside.
Harrison rk followed with curiosity.
He felt something was off.
Though there were no enemies now and the World Governmentpletely ruled, could soldiers still have missions?
Was it a drill?
After leaving the base, Harrison rk finally looked up the information on the intelligence system.
The situation was different than he expected.
He and Daniel Thompson were going to deal with a small-scale march.
The incident took ce at a settlement 1,300 kilometers away from the ck Bear Training Base, approximately the size of a provincial city in the past.
At this moment, more than 500 people were gathered together, holding a silent sit-in protest in front of a research institute at the center of the settlement.
Harrison rk was puzzled, “Why not just send ordinary forces to deal with this? Why deploy the Azure Dragon Armor?”
Daniel Thompson shook his head, “This research institute is under the jurisdiction of the Azure Dragon Training Center, and its main research direction is battleship power systems. A prototype equipped with a new power system is preparing tounch into space. It’s a big deal, and we can’t take any chances. Deploying the Azure Dragon Armor directly is the safest way.”
Harrison rk nodded, “Makes sense. What exactly do we need to do?”
He didn’t really want to be ruthless.
Daniel Thompson saw his reluctance and said, “Don’t worry. Based on past experience, once the Azure Dragon Armor arrives, these people will run away faster than monkeys. We just need to intimidate them a little. These so-called escapists are always cowardly and won’t cause much trouble.”
“I see.” Harrison rk secretly sighed in relief.
“Of course, we don’t me them. After all, they don’t know the full situation, and it can only be said that the ideological conflict is due to information bias. So, as long as there are no major issues, we are not allowed to open fire in the first ce, as stipted in the military code.”
Now everything was clear to Harrison rk.
He had learned about these so-called “escapists” when reviewing historical materials.
Strictly speaking, these people shouldn’t be called escapists.
Their ultimate goal is not to escape.
They have no knowledge about the impending doomsday, so there is no question of escaping.
They simply believe, based on their own knowledge system, and seeing the massive space fleet developed by the World Government, that humanity can already venture outside the Sr System and explore the vast universe.
They never refer to themselves as escapists but rather see themselves as explorers, thinking that venturing beyond the Sr System is the future humanity must face.
As cryogenic technology and Al automatic navigation have matured and there have been breakthroughs in energy technology, all preconditions have been met. In theory, they could undergo a long sleep and sessfully arrive at another star system after setting the route..
