The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1171. Scientific Research Project (Part 1)

21BBY, January 20th, the area controlled by the Fourth Civilization, the Mordel sector, the prison planet Thornell.

On the edge of a desert in the southern hemisphere of the planet, an experimental base with a very large area was built. The outermost part of the base was surrounded by a circle of barbed wire. Hundreds of B-1 combat robots patrolled day and night at the entry and exit checkpoints.

And the sign hanging on the barbed wire said impressively—'Property of the Engineering Department of Dawn Star, entry is strictly prohibited! ’, the back of the sign is marked with danger signs such as high voltage hazard, nuclear energy hazard, and biochemical hazard.

Occasionally, I can see some animal wrecks that came by by mistake, or were electrocuted to death by the high-voltage electricity on the barbed wire, or were killed by the B-1 combat robot. Many of them have turned into bones, bringing some gloom and horror to this experimental base.

Inside this base, thousands of researchers are divided into hundreds of technical groups to conduct their own research intensively.

It can be seen that in a laboratory, researchers are installing a set of mechanized exoskeleton on a prisoner. It can be clearly seen that this set of mechanized exoskeleton has many hanging points on it, and a large number of external devices can be added.

This is also the reason why this base is set up on the prison planet Thornell, because some prisoners can be directly used for experiments. Although most of these weapon tests are not dangerous, there is no way to guarantee them completely, not to mention that if they pass the weapon test, these prisoners will have the opportunity to enter the Beast Legion, and these weapons will be used first after they are installed. Naturally, many prisoners are willing to join.

After the installation was completed, under the guidance of the researchers, the prisoner began to manipulate the exoskeleton to make various movements. At first, all the movements were completed perfectly, but later, the researchers asked him to run around the field twice wearing the exoskeleton. The prisoner complied, and he began to run fast. With the help of the mechanized exoskeleton, he could be seen running faster and faster, and finally even exceeded 70 kilometers per hour!

But suddenly, the prisoner screamed loudly, he started jumping around, and then only saw the exoskeleton engine in the back waist billowing smoke!

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 detonated, and the flames soon spread and burned the prisoner into a burning man.

The screams became smaller and smaller, and finally when the flames were extinguished, only the scorched remains of the exoskeleton and the prisoner who had turned into a pile of black ashes remained.

Researcher A clutched his forehead and moaned, "Ah...why did it fail again?"

"The micro-cold nuclear fusion reactor is still unstable..." Another researcher B quickly operated on the computer to check the feedback data, "Go and recover the wreckage, let me see where the fire started."

"If you just run, it is impossible to cause the reactor to overheat. It should be too long. There is a problem with the laser confinement device, which leads to energy leakage and a fire." Researcher A shook his head and said.

At this time, the B-1 robot had already moved the wreckage over. As for the remaining ashes of the prisoner, the ashes had already begun to be washed over there, and rushed directly into the sewer.

Researcher B looked at the wreckage of the exoskeleton and said, "You are right. The failure of the J-11 laser restraint device caused the restraint to fail and the energy to leak. How long did our experiment last? Half an hour? Report the test results to Dr. Otto, the micro-cold fusion reactor technology has not yet reached the stage of actual combat application."

"That's the problem. In the past two months, Dr. Otto has hardly been out of the house...not even Rory Swan and Dr. Zhang Jiarui." Researcher A spread his hands, "To be honest, if only Rory Swan If Wang and Zhang Jiarui have been locked in the laboratory and can't come out, I think it should be more exciting. Maybe there will be some sparks between the two of them! Now add Dr. Otto, forget it, they are probably really in What subject are you doing?"

"But this CMC-300 power armor project can't be stopped..." Researcher B said, "Dr. But Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao is waiting for the result!"

"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 the CMC-300 run stably for one to two hours, maybe that's enough? After a battle, stop and rest for a while, Let the restraint cool down."

"Two hours?" Researcher A clicked on the computer a few times, "Impossible, one hour is the limit!"

"Then... just add an item to the instruction manual? It can only be operated by prisoners?" Researcher B said.

"This is impossible! Allowing prisoners to operate our army's latest power armor? This proposal is impossible to pass even if you think about it. What if these prisoners suddenly go crazy and start rioting? You must know the combat performance of the CMC-300. It’s no problem to pick dozens of soldiers.” Researcher A shook his head hastily.

Researcher B said: "It's simple. You see, an electrode is added to the back of the head of the power armor. As long as the officer activates the emergency procedure, this electrode will immediately release high-voltage electricity, which can instantly kill the prisoner inside. When the time comes, the power armor will We can still recycle it completely!"

Researcher A's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said, "What a great idea! The problem was solved at the lowest cost!"

"That's it! I'll fix the electric shock device first, and it should be done in a few hours. You can take the team to continue adjusting this miniature cold nuclear fusion reactor. In other words, we can't even run it stably for an hour now." It can’t be done! Don’t be canceled by Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao when the time comes!”

"Yes! 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 here.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!" Rory Swan was panting with laughter, and the mechanical clamp prosthesis installed on his left arm kept opening and closing, as he There was a rhythmic metallic crash of laughter.

"Don't fucking tell me this!" Zhang Jiarui was extremely annoyed, and threw the glasses he was wearing on the ground and smashed them into pieces. "It's the idiots in the army who didn't realize the role of Thor!"

"Hahahaha! As I said a long time ago, your Thor who installed the turbo laser cannon is simply evil, understand? It deserves to be rejected at the army armament review meeting, hahahahahaha!!" Rory Swan laughed loudly.

"This is a problem in the evaluation process! It must be!" Zhang Jiarui looked at Rory Swan's smiling face, and the muscles on his body began to twitch, "Also! Give me your voice like a pregnant duck STOP! Unless you really want to fight!!"

"Oh! I'm sorry, I don't want to laugh, but I really can't help it... Hahahahahaha!" Rory Swan kept laughing.

Boom! ! In the next second, a fist the size of a bowl was imprinted on his face.
