Lu Yongchang stood quietly beside the exoskeleton armor, a strange light shining in his eyes.

Which man wouldn't like this kind of mechanical-looking equipment?

He raised his arm and carefully tapped on the exoskeleton armor in front of him.

The armored shell, made entirely of carbide, emitted a slightly muffled sound.

Although the sound was deep and muffled, it gave people an incredibly solid sense of security.

"What were the test results?"

Lü Yongchang turned to look at Zhu Ziwen beside him and asked softly, "Does it meet the expected standards?"

Zhu Ziwen nodded quickly and reached out to "drag" the holographic projection next to him in front of Lü Yongchang.

"Professor, we have already conducted multiple unmanned test trials."

"This exoskeleton armor is far more flexible than humans. Under Zero's control, it can even perform many actions that humans cannot."

"There were no problems with the speed of command response and the control of force."

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, but simply reached out and gently moved his hand, carefully examining the various test data.

When he saw that its load-bearing capacity reached an astonishing 500 kilograms, his eye twitched violently.

This data far exceeded his expectations.

Then, a series of outrageously absurd data points bombarded his brain.

Maximum jump distance: 7.1 meters.

[Jump height: 5.4 meters.]

Lu Yongchang's gaze gradually turned strange.

"By the way, these data are all test results under Earth's gravity. If it were on a super-Earth, the effect wouldn't be as significant." As if afraid he would misunderstand, Zhu Ziwen quickly explained.

This explanation, coupled with these astonishing figures, made Lü Yongchang's expression even more peculiar.

In his vision, the most important function of this mechanical exoskeleton device is actually to provide sufficient support for the human body.

It's like a walking stick that fits the whole body and has its own power.

But now...

"I asked you to make a cane, and you made me a suit of space armor?"

Are you alright?

"hiss……"

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and pointed to the data in front of him: "These, these performance features, you added them?"

Zhu Ziwen leaned over, glanced at where Lü Yongchang was pointing, and said excitedly.

"right."

"Professor, rest assured, Zero has undergone comprehensive simulation. The added motors and other equipment will not affect the overall strength of the mechanical exoskeleton."

After a moment of silence, Lü Yongchang slowly uttered a single word.

"Well done!"

...

Zhu Ziwen's epic upgrade to the mechanical exoskeleton armor far exceeded his expectations.

Therefore, he temporarily changed the original testing plan.

Initially, he planned to find several researchers from the Academy of Sciences to test the exoskeleton armor.

The reason is quite simple.

Currently, all ordinary people are still in a state of hibernation.

It is clearly unnecessary to wake up several ordinary people individually for this experiment.

Therefore, the selection of experimental subjects naturally fell to those researchers.

After all, most researchers are physically similar to ordinary people.

But now...

Even with robust power limiting measures, exoskeleton armor of this strength still poses a considerable danger to ordinary people.

then.

Lü Yongchang turned his attention to the military.

"Zero, have Bai Yixuan and the others come to the lab."

As they grew older, they were no longer able to charge to the front lines of the war.

As veteran captains who have fought all the way from Earth, they successfully entered the First Fleet's command thanks to their rich combat experience.

That's why Lü Yongchang focused his attention on Bai Yixuan and the others.

Due to their age, their physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, but in the military, it is only at a below-average level.

and.

Whether fighting on the ground or in space, Bai Yixuan and his team have ample practical experience.

...

More than ten minutes later.

The door to the No. 1 shipborne laboratory slowly opened.

"Professor Lü, is there something you need from us?" Bai Yixuan's gentle voice came from the front door.

"Hey, Captain Bai, what are you saying?" Hong Fan's carefree voice rang out at the same time. "Can't the professor just chat with us for a bit?"

"You're clearly not a good person!"

Lü Yongchang: "..."

After all these years, Hong Fan is still the same as ever!

He turned his head and looked toward the door.

Sure enough, I saw that familiar scene again.

Under the glares of Bai Yixuan and Xia Wanyi, Hong Fan chuckled and made a shushing gesture.

Seemingly noticing Professor Lü's gaze, Hong Fan's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to wave at him.

A gentle smile naturally appeared on Lü Yongchang's face.

As time went by, many of these "old people" from Earth, whom he was familiar with, had unknowingly disappeared.

Therefore, in his daily life, he does not act like a chief scientist.

On the other hand, human lifespan has been greatly extended.

Even the most resilient nerves will snap after being stretched for hundreds of years!

Therefore, most of the time, when faced with these amusing jokes, his choice is to participate.

"Yes, Yixuan, Hong Fan is right," Lu Yongchang joked with a smile. "Can't I contact you guys if there's nothing wrong?"

A look of astonishment flashed across Bai Yixuan's eyes.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Lü Yongchang to say that.

Looking at the group of researchers surrounding Lü Yongchang in the laboratory, Bai Yixuan shook his head with a wry smile.

You... call this casual conversation?

Lü Yongchang naturally didn't dwell on this topic for too long.

He beckoned to the three of them: "Come here."

"I'm mainly looking for you to test a new piece of equipment."

Upon hearing about the new equipment, Bai Yixuan and his two companions' eyes lit up!

For them, the most attractive thing is nothing more than all kinds of new equipment!

Hong Fan quickened his pace and jogged over to Lü Yongchang's side.

Just one glance.

His gaze was fixed on the exoskeleton armor in front of him!

"Holy crap..."

Hong Fan uttered a traditional Chinese expression of amazement.

"Professor, is the Academy of Sciences preparing to build individual soldier armor?"

Faced with the same question as Zhu Ziwen, Lü Yongchang naturally shook his head with a blank expression.

After some explanation.

With disappointment written all over his face, Hong Fan turned around dejectedly and walked toward the nearest gravity chamber.

This experiment will be conducted in a gravity chamber.

Because they lack artificial gravity technology, the gravity chambers of human fleets mainly rely on centrifugal force to achieve equivalent gravity.

The entire gravity chamber is a giant disc structure connected to the starship.

Driven by powerful motors and under the control of Zero, this giant wheel can rotate at different speeds, thereby generating an equivalent gravity of 0.1g to 1.5g.
