Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 200 - 76 Nezha

"This package contains the mecha..."

Looking at the six humanoid mechas in front of him, each nearly two and a half meters tall, Chen Jian slowly exhaled and then said:

"Lingxi, introduction."

"Received."

Lingxi’s voice echoed from outside the independent warehouse where the mecha was stored.

"What you are seeing is the NEST-2040 single-soldier exoskeleton combat system, codenamed ’Nezha.’

"This equipment is designed as a modular city and mountain assault platform, enhancing individual combat effectiveness and survival capabilities. It is suited for special operations and rapid reaction forces, and is a key development under the distributed combat concept."

"In terms of power and mobility systems, the equipment uses a carbon fiber-titanium alloy composite exoskeleton as the main framework, combined with bionic tendon drive design, achieving a sprint speed of 25 km/h and a vertical jump of 1.2 meters in marching mode, and 40 km/h with a 1.8-meter vertical jump in combat mode."

"Regarding energy solutions, the equipment is powered by solid-state lithium-sulfur battery packs with an energy density of 1200 Wh/kg, paired with a miniature fuel cell backup unit, supporting 144 hours of low-intensity operations or 8 hours of full-power combat, with quick-charge capability through a quick-detach battery design."

"For passive defense, the outer layer of the equipment is covered with boron nitride ceramic-graphene composite armor, offering 40mm RHA-equivalent armor-piercing resistance. Key areas are embedded with electrochromic materials for optical adaptive camouflage, with a response time of less than 0.5 seconds."

"In terms of active defense, the equipment integrates a miniaturized laser counter-measure array, with over a 70% success rate in intercepting low-speed rocket shells and drones."

"For weapons and fire control systems, the equipment does not differ much from the L170 exoskeleton you are wearing, mainly relying on a weapon rack mounted on the back for modular assembly."

"Unlike the L170 exoskeleton, all six mounting racks on this equipment are equipped with an intelligent aiming system, based on millimeter-wave radar + infrared, visible light multi-spectral fusion perception, combined with the tactical AI ’War Skull’ system, allowing 50-millisecond threat prioritization and automatic aiming correction."

"Regarding the battlefield situational awareness system, the helmet of this equipment integrates an AR tactical interface, achieving 120°FOV holographic projection, merging ally positioning, terrain modeling, and real-time threat heatmaps, supporting non-invasive EEG brain-computer interface control for secondary functions."

"The above is the basic introduction about this equipment. Do you need further details?"

"...No, that’s enough."

Chen Jian reached out to touch the so-called "exoskeleton" in front of him, but upon contact, he did not feel the expected "cold" texture.

Indeed, the armor of this thing wasn’t made of metal.

The slight surprise left Chen Jian momentarily stunned, whereas Lei Jie on the other side had already entered a state of "fascination."

"Damn... non-invasive EEG brain-machine? I never dared to think about it... is it really that amazing?"

As his voice faded, Lingxi immediately replied:

"At the time this equipment was developed, EEG brain-machine technology was not yet mature, so the brain-computer interface equipped on this system only supports secondary functions such as basic actions and weapons preparation."

"More precise operations are completed by the helmet aiming system paired with the War Skull AI."

"Understood... the brain-machine is auxiliary, the main role is still traditional fire control."

Chen Jian nodded thoughtfully, while Lingxi corrected him:

"If your ’traditional fire control’ refers to outdated technology before 2030, this statement may not be accurate."

"The AR system integrated into the equipment’s helmet does not use traditional position measuring instruments to calculate angle positions. Instead, it automatically calculates the visual focus based on eye and pupil tracking to achieve..."

"Alright, no need to say more."

Chen Jian interrupted Lingxi’s endless technical introductions and then turned to Lei Jie next to him and said:

"What do you think, want to give it a try?"

"Of course I do!"

Lei Jie nodded immediately but then added:

"But there’s no rush now, this thing is already ours, so we can try it anytime."

"Right now, I’m more interested in checking out that Mengshi vehicle—if the mecha is this fierce, a mature armored vehicle must be even more powerful, right?"

"Indeed. Lingxi, introduce the Mengshi vehicle."

"Understood. This model vehicle is the Mengshi sixth-generation high-mobility mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle, equipped with the UW-9 remote intelligent weapon station. Currently, it is loaded with the Arm Shield-2 short-range air defense system, which can also be replaced with other types of weapons..."

Listening to a series of introductions, Chen Jian and his team were dumbfounded.

Right after, he decisively had Lingxi introduce all the major weapons in the warehouse.

After Lingxi’s introduction finally ended, everyone was stunned on the ground, unsure of what to do.

In a word, overwhelmed.

Not because the technical level of these weapons was too high and they couldn’t understand.

In fact, while there were high-end weapons like the ’Nezha’ mecha, there were still lightweight 152 howitzers towed by small vehicles.

The technological range was wide, yet consistent with our military’s equipment configuration principles.

Just like in their time, although there were numerous J-20s flying in the sky, there were still a large number of aging aircraft in service.

What truly shocked them was the extreme ’simplicity’ showcased in the weapon configuration mode in this warehouse.

A large warehouse, at least five times the volume of the 7025.

Yet, all told, there were only a few pieces of core equipment.

Six mechas, one Mengshi vehicle, one electromagnetic cannon, one 152mm howitzer with a towing vehicle, one small reconnaissance and strike integrated drone, and nothing else.

In the remaining space, besides the first area storing light weapons and ammunition, and the second area storing unmanned combat equipment, the other eight areas were all stocked with the spare parts, weapons, and ammunition needed for these core pieces of equipment!

—No, even the equipment in the first and second areas can be used in conjunction with these core pieces of equipment.

You could say, this armory was built around a few core pieces of equipment.

No wonder the contents in this warehouse appeared much more ’ordered’ compared to the 7025.

Chen Jian strongly suspected that this batch of equipment had been prepared long ago and simply relocated during the great catastrophe...

Chen Jian glanced around, a question suddenly popping into his mind.

Who are all these things prepared to fight?

He felt a sense of bewilderment, and recalling the second-level monster in Jinling City, he suddenly felt like the opponent might not even be a worthy adversary anymore.

Darn it, I even have a drone!

This time it’s not a pitifully small reconnaissance drone, this time it’s a fixed-wing reconnaissance and strike integrated machine!

Though judging by its wingspan of less than 10 meters, it’s probably impossible for it to drop aerial bombs.

But those loitering munitions in the second area are clearly prepared for it...

What monster can withstand dozens of loitering munitions from here?

What monster can withstand over a hundred rounds of 152 howitzer shells?

What monster can withstand over a hundred rounds of 105 caliber electromagnetic armor-piercing shells?

Second-level?

Even a first-level would be useless, wouldn’t it?

The only current issue seems to be the lack of sufficient manpower to operate this equipment.

But this issue is not insurmountable.

As long as they can locate that monster, their squad is fully capable of taking it down from ten kilometers away.

Not enough manpower?

They could even play turn-based!

Chen Jian’s confidence soared, and he lightly patted the mecha beside him, then said:

"Let’s go."

"Everyone, re-equip."

"Zeng Yi, you go up and try it." freēwēbnovel.com

"Familiarize yourself with the operation as soon as possible, and then... we set off."

"I want to see, just how this so-called second-level monster handles a 152mm tungsten core armor-piercing shell!"
