339 Layer By Layer, Seeking the Limit!
Lone Wolf still had a relaxed smile on his face as he looked at the gorgeous Magic Crystal Cannon embedded in the ceiling.
Even if he was not wearing any equipment, he could still use his spirit power to block an attack of this level, more so with the strong Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
During the obstacle-avoidance test, the iron balls shot out at a speed that was close to the speed of fired bullets. However, the light gray exoskeleton armor did not just easily protected him, but it also did so to the point that he did not realize that he had been attacked.
Therefore, Lone Wolf was certain that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s protective performance was in line with the Legendary grade.
He stood in place with ease, ready to receive the baptism of artillery fire at any moment.
Outside the testing field, the tension in the crowd eased a lot when they saw Lone Wolf’s casual demeanor.
“The second round of the defense test shall commence.”
Everything was ready, and the staff immediately pressed the launch button on the instrument.
The next moment, the Magic Crystal Cannon on the ceiling released a burst of intense light. A great amount of energy had gathered in the bore of the cannon, and once it reached the limit, it immediately poured down like lightning.
The huge energy fluctuations were accompanied by a piercing light, causing the people on the outside to wince. What followed was an ear-piercing explosion.
The shock waves from the explosion rippled through the defensive array.
However, Lone Wolf seemed totally unaffected and nailed to the ground.
As the wind raged, Lone Wolf squinted and revealed a confident smile.
A few seconds later, the storm stopped howling, and the shock waves were all absorbed by the defensive array on the wall. Everything settled down.
Everyone hurriedly looked at the test field, only to see that Lone Wolf was standing in the same spot, unharmed.
Meanwhile, there was now a pit several centimeters deep and half a meter wide on the flat concrete ground in front of him. Around the pit, cracks as thick as little fingers spread out like a spider web, spreading across half the room. They revealed the true power of the Magic Crystal Cannon.
However, when everyone looked at the exoskeleton armor on Lone Wolf’s body again, there were still no traces of damage. It was so clean that it looked as if it had just undergone maintenance.
After blowing off the non-existent dust on his body, Lone Wolf excitedly asked the staff beyond the bulletproof glass, “How strong was the impact that I just endured?”
“That...” The staff member immediately looked at the instrument next to him and said with a surprised look, “The impact force was 3.8 Pa. The gear passes the defense test against the Magic Crystal Cannon.”
After hearing that, Lone Wolf immediately shrugged. “In that case, let’s hurry up and start the next test.”
The researchers outside the testing area could not help but click their tongues when they saw Lone Wolf’s eager expression through the bulletproof glass.
Lone Wolf was worthy of his captain position in the Special Forces. While the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear had performed well since the beginning of the test, he had also remained calm in the face of such a powerful Magic Crystal Cannon.
His courage alone was something that no one else there possessed.
“Special Magic Crystal Cannons are things that even Rank 6 beasts can’t withstand at maximum power. The armor looks like it’s merely a dozen centimeters thick, but it’s still intact after such an attack! What material did he use?” a senior researcher with white sideburns and gold-rimmed glasses asked in confusion.
“It’s so light, yet it has such great defense... I’m afraid it’s made of some special material that we don’t know about...”
The few of them sighed in their hearts. At the same time, they were full of questions. If they were not in the middle of a test, they would have gone to Wu Mo and asked for an explanation.
“The third defense test is about to begin. According to the analysis of the Magic Crystal Cannon’s vibration force of 3.8 Pa, it shouldn’t be difficult for the exoskeleton armor to resist a spirit energy shock wave under normal circumstances!”
The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, analyzed the data from the previous two attempts continuously and finally came to an uncertain conclusion.
Defense was a relatively important set of data in equipment. If it did not reach Epic-grade standard, the failure rate would be very high should the exoskeleton armor be mass-produced in the future.
Therefore, the success of Wu Mo’s latest research and development would depend on the final test of the gear’s defensive power.
He watched as a tester took out a fist-sized, translucent energy stone from the warehouse.
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
Spirit energy waves had even more offensive power than Magic Crystal Cannons. Since they had enough explosive damage and a larger range of attack, spirit energy waves were widely used in all major battlefields.
In addition, the cost of the equipment used to trigger the spirit wave was low, and it had a strong resistance against dense beast tides. Therefore, many people working in the armory were familiar with it.
As long as the energy stone was placed in the trigger device and buried underground, the operator could trigger the device at any time within a five-kilometer radius.
The internal part of the device would immediately undergo a collision process, and the special energy ball wrapped within would detonate, producing a powerful destructive force and a lightning force field.
The force field would injure any beast lower than Rank 7. If the beast was lower than Rank 6, it would not even have a chance to scream.
With its strong penetrating power and the easy production of the triggering device, the spirit energy wave could be used in all major battlefields, killing many fierce beasts without them realizing it.
However, the spirit energy wave attack had its limitations. First, it could not be used in the city. Second, the energy ball required to activate the device was huge. Both the armory and military were always in short supply.
Using such an unadulterated device to test the gear’s defensive ability was pretty much the best approach. Only a truly qualified Epic equipment could survive such a terrifying attack!
In comparison to the spirit energy waves, the first two tests were like small altercations.
After all, such a thing could not be controlled after it was detonated. If it was not handled properly and an accident happened, it could really kill someone!
...
Outside the test field, everyone watched the test personnel place the translucent energy ball into the fist-sized device.
The entire place was silent, and everyone’s faces were solemn.
A middle-aged man in work uniform opened the door to the defense test room and carefully placed the trigger device in the corner of the room.
After explaining the situation and things to take note of to Lone Wolf, he left in a hurry.
“You don’t have to convince me otherwise. Hurry up and start.” Lone Wolf looked at the familiar object in the corner of the room and said with shining eyes.
In the past, he had always watched such explosions from a few thousand meters away.
He was now in a “first-class seat.”
After the staff outside confirmed that the defense array was still operating normally, he immediately took out the controller for the trigger device.
He then pressed the detonation button with a cautious expression!
