Lü Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly.
This news was not unexpected.
Upon hearing the news of Zhu Ziwen's visit, he had this guess in his mind.
Now that his guess has been confirmed, Lü Yongchang's smile has grown even wider.
"oh?"
He cheerfully asked Zhu Ziwen, "Tell me what functions you've added to the exoskeleton armor?"
As he spoke, he picked up a bag of drinking water next to him and took a sip.
"Compared with the first-generation exoskeleton armor, the second-generation exoskeleton armor mainly enhances the individual combat capability."
Zhu Ziwen's first words left Lü Yongchang stunned.
"First of all, the second-generation exoskeleton armor adopts a fully enclosed structure, and we chose carbide as the outer shell material."
"The production of Xingjin-Carbylene composite materials is insufficient," Zhu Ziwen explained softly.
"The armored shell adopts a completely new architecture, which can minimize the impact from the outside world."
"Regarding energy..."
"We originally wanted to use a miniature antimatter engine, but its size was still too large and would significantly affect the flexibility of the exoskeleton armor."
Zhu Ziwen raised his hand shyly and scratched the back of his head, revealing an embarrassed smile: "There's no other way, we can only use the latest type of micro fusion reactor as the energy core for now."
Lü Yongchang: "..."
How is an antimatter engine used?
Installing the latest miniature fusion reactor on a mechanical exoskeleton armor, is that too much to ask of you?!
"cough……"
Lu Yongchang coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Ziwen, don't you think this is a bit of a waste for a mechanical exoskeleton?"
"waste?"
Zhu Ziwen frowned slightly and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "We've calculated it, the power is just right, there's no waste at all."
Lü Yongchang: "...???"
Suddenly, an inconceivable thought arose in his mind.
"Wait, tell me first, how do you enhance individual combat capabilities?"
Upon hearing Lü Yongchang's words, Zhu Ziwen's spirits lifted immediately: "Professor, this is the most important part!"
"User feedback data shows that the military version of the exoskeleton armor has too little firepower."
“We specifically installed a Type III laser cannon and a small plasma cannon on it.”
"At the same time, each second-generation exoskeleton armor is equipped with three micro drones and three micro man-portable hydrogen bombs."
"Drones have limited functions, mainly used for reconnaissance and the delivery of miniature man-portable hydrogen bombs."
Lu Yongchang stared blankly at Zhu Ziwen in front of him.
User feedback data?
Who exactly reported this?!
And what are these people thinking with their man-portable hydrogen bombs?
Is this even worthy of being called an exoskeleton armor?!
It's practically turning into a mecha now!
Lu Yongchang was internally ranting and raving.
"Hehe..." Zhu Ziwen's lips curled into a slight grin, and he smiled nervously. "Professor, I know that these weapons are not very lethal."
"To increase its instantaneous explosive power, we specially equipped it with one hundred antimatter gauss rifle bullets."
Lu Yongchang's lips twitched twice.
This Zhu Ziwen...
How come you've grown up so badly after all these years?
They've even got antimatter rifle bullets...
It's no exaggeration to say that if this were in Earth's time, one exoskeleton suit would probably be enough to wipe out Earth's civilization.
"Ziwen, tell me, who gave you these suggestions for improvement?"
Despite his twitching eyebrows, Lü Yongchang asked in a gentle voice.
"ah?"
Zhu Ziwen was taken aback for a moment, then a shy smile appeared on his face again: "You found out."
"Before making the improvement plan, I asked Yevgeny for his opinion."
Lü Yongchang: "..."
It's connected.
Everything makes sense now.
Seeing the complicated expression on Lü Yongchang's face, Zhu Ziwen asked with some doubt, "Professor, aren't these changes good?"
"Compared to the first-generation exoskeleton armor, the second-generation exoskeleton armor has significantly improved its attack power, making it suitable for use in such dangerous landing operations."
Lu Yongchang sighed softly, swallowed the words of opposition he was about to say, and squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
"Okay, that's a great revision."
He took a deep breath and asked again, "What about defense? Besides the carbide armor itself, are there any other defensive features?"
With Lü Yongchang's approval, Zhu Ziwen's smile deepened.
"certainly!"
"In addition to the conventional magnetic field shield, we also referenced the shield functions of starships and added a plasma shield function for emergency evasion."
Lu Yongchang looked at the somewhat "shy" Zhu Ziwen in front of him with a complicated expression and nodded.
"good."
"The changes are very good."
"Then tell me again, why would a scientist like you apply for a spot to land on the Lost Planet?"
The shy smile on Zhu Ziwen's face gradually disappeared.
He looked at Lü Yongchang with utmost seriousness and said solemnly, "Professor, this is the first time the second-generation exoskeleton armor has been used in combat against alien creatures."
"In order to obtain accurate and effective combat data, I request to join the planetary exploration team to land on the Lost Star!"
"Nonsense!"
Lu Yongchang's face turned ugly, and he shouted sternly, "You're making a fool of yourself!"
"Do you know how many resources it takes for the Federation of People's Liberation Army to train an academician?!"
