Chapter 55: Holy crap! Can this exoskeleton do

The battery interlude is turned over without any danger.

The atmosphere in the testing field has become even more concentrated and focused because of this brief "warm-up."

Everyone's eyes are now focused on the "Iron Wolf Type II" exoskeleton standing silently in the center of the field.

"First item, Iron Wolf Type II basic mobility and strength test."

Feng Yan's voice comes out through the amplification system, steadily announcing the start.

Li Yang takes a deep breath, and the wolf-head helmet closes with a "click."

The visual interface lights up, and countless data streams sweep by like a waterfall.

He feels the surging power within him.

It is no longer the kind of power from the previous "Iron Wolf Type I" that required careful calculation and was occasionally stretched thin.

But a feeling of abundance, like a rushing river, almost infinite.

This is the most intuitive change brought by the "Xuanwu Type II" high-density solid-state battery pack provided by Zhao Kaiyuan.

—The energy bottleneck has been completely broken.

"System startup, requesting to begin demonstration."

Li Yang's voice comes through the exoskeleton's built-in communication, calm and steady.

"Permission granted." Feng Yan issues the command.

"Hum—"

The low hum of the motor is deeper and more powerful than ever before.

As if a awakened beast is growling.

"Iron Wolf Type II" takes its first step, its metal soles stepping on the specially made testing field floor.

Emitting a heavy and firm "thud," echoing in the empty field.

The warm-up movements are smooth enough to be pleasing to the eye.

High knees in place, hydraulic rods stretch and retract rapidly, bringing up a whistling wind;

Side slides, the chassis is as stable as a rock, with no shaking during translation;

Full-angle body rotation, the newly added waist composite joint shows an amazing range of motion.

The movements are silky and coherent, perfectly combining the mechanical beauty of the metal body with biological-like flexibility.

In the observation area, experts from higher-level units and the military nod slightly.

The completion of the basic movements is impeccable, but this was still within expectations.

However, the following demonstration begins to gradually deviate from their cognitive track.

The test project enters "complex environment adaptive mobility."

Obstacle groups simulating urban street fighting environments rise in the center of the field:

Broken walls, tilted floor slabs, narrow passages, and randomly distributed bunkers.

Li Yang controls the "Iron Wolf Type II" to enter this area.

At first, it still relies on powerful leg strength and a precise balance system for conventional climbing and crossing.

But soon, the style begins to change abruptly.

When passing through a narrow passage with simulated walls on both sides.

A target for simulated shooting suddenly pops out from the side!

The moment the target appears.

The vector nozzles newly added to both sides of the "Iron Wolf Type II" waist erupt with a short and powerful burst of airflow!

"Ssh—!"

The sound of airflow rings out, and the massive steel body actually moves in a way that defies common inertia.

Like a ghost, it instantly slides more than half a meter to the side and back.

Precisely avoiding the "line of fire"!

The movement is not clumsy or sluggish at all.

It is more like a "slide step" performed by a martial arts master proficient in light-body techniques!

A low sound of surprise rises from the observation area.

This is not over yet.

When approaching a broken wall that is three meters high and almost vertical.

"Iron Wolf Type II" does not choose the conventional climbing hook.

Instead, it suddenly accelerates forward, and the moment it is about to hit the wall.

The leg hydraulic system explodes with full power.

Providing powerful initial lift, while the waist vector nozzles work again.

Cooperating with the fine-tuning of the leg joints.

It actually allows it to "thump, thump, thump" and step up three times on the vertical wall as if walking on flat ground.

Directly flipping over it!

"Whoa!" An old expert with gray hair cannot help but lean forward.

Adjusting his glasses.

The real shock comes from the next scene.

A "T" junction is set up in the center of the field.

Requiring the test unit to achieve a right-angle turn while running at high speed.

For a heavy exoskeleton, this is an almost unimaginable task.

Huge inertia is a physical chasm that is difficult to overcome.

Li Yang controls the "Iron Wolf Type II" to start the assist run.

The speed gets faster and faster, and the heavy footsteps are like beating drums.

When approaching the intersection, he does not slow down, but seems to add another burst of force!

Just when everyone thinks he is going to hit the side wall, a miracle happens.

The foot of the "Iron Wolf Type II" close to the inside of the curve slams onto the ground.

Emitting a harsh friction sound, providing part of the centripetal force.

At the same time, the vector nozzle on the outer waist erupts with unprecedented powerful thrust.

While the inner nozzle performs intermittent pulse jetting to maintain balance!

The massive steel body, under this series of exquisitely controlled movements.

Actually manages to tilt at an angle close to the limit.

Relying on the extra vector force brought by the nozzles and precise joint control.

It forcibly carves out a sharp arc, completing this almost impossible right-angle turn!

The whole movement is full of power, speed, and a cold mechanical aesthetic.

As if this is not a heavy machine, but an extremely flexible giant!

"Holy crap!" Wang Hao cannot help but curse in the control area.

Although the voice is not loud, it is exceptionally clear in the silent testing field, "Brother Li is... is this damn 'Lingbo Micro-steps'?!"

Chen Guang stares at the data screen on the side, reporting at a fast speed.

His voice carries a hint of imperceptible excitement:

"At the moment of turning, the peak thrust of the waist vector nozzle reached 125% of the design value, lasting 0.8 seconds!"

"'Xuanwu Type II' battery pack discharge efficiency is stable, voltage fluctuation is far below the safety threshold!"

"The energy system perfectly supported the extreme mobility requirements!"

In the observation area, the military expert known for being strict and knowledgeable—Senior Colonel Zhou.

Cannot help but lean forward, his fingers tapping the armrest unconsciously.

He whispers: "This mobility... this energy consumption ratio... is a bit outrageous, isn't it?"

Team Leader Zheng beside him also nods slightly, his eyes full of surprise and thought.

Feng Yan happens to be standing not far from the observation area and hears Senior Colonel Zhou's whisper.

He walks up a few steps and explains calmly:

"Senior Colonel Zhou, Team Leader Zheng, this is mainly due to a major breakthrough by our energy partner."

"The 'Xuanwu Type II' battery pack and efficient energy management system provided by junior fellow apprentice Zhao Kaiyuan."

"Allows us to support Li Yang's imagination and 'let go' a little bit in terms of mobility."

He says this lightly, as if it were just a negligible upgrade.

But the information revealed in his words makes Senior Colonel Zhou and Team Leader Zheng instantly grasp the key—energy!

It is the leap in energy technology that has given birth to this mobility capability that transcends conventional cognition!

"'Let go' a little bit?" Senior Colonel Zhou repeats.

Looking at the "Iron Wolf Type II" in the field that has just completed a short-distance advance like a teleportation and is now stopping steadily.

He shakes his head, and finally shows the first obvious smile of the day on his face.

"Team Leader Feng, your 'little bit' is scary enough."

Feng Yan smiles, not continuing to "flex," but feeling secretly refreshed inside:

'That's the effect I wanted! Junior fellow apprentice Kaiyuan's battery, paired with Old Li's control, this chemical reaction is amazing!'

Li Yang controls the "Iron Wolf Type II" to return to the starting position and shuts it down steadily.

When he walks out of the exoskeleton, although there is still no expression on his face.

The light flashing in his eyes clearly indicates his satisfaction with the results of this test.

He subconsciously glances at Zhao Kaiyuan's communication icon on the console, which is still online, and nods slightly.

Wang Hao runs over happily, circling around the "Iron Wolf Type II."

Clicking his tongue in wonder: "Brother Li, awesome! Those few moves just now were cool as hell!"

"Teach me later? Don't need the exoskeleton, just learn your 'Lingbo Micro-steps' stance!"

Li Yang ignores him and takes a sip from his water cup.

His gaze is already cast toward the next test project—Chen Guang's laser interception system.

He knows that the roar of the "Iron Wolf" is just the opening, and the more exciting parts are yet to come.

In the testing field, after a short rest and adjustment.

Everyone's eyes.

Focus again on that precisely shaped laser emission device. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
