Colonia Storm Tour

"Huh?!"

The gardenia involuntarily let out a foolish cry.

"Hehehehehehe."

Lin Haiyuan's laughter was exactly the same as the bald man's. "That's right, we're borrowing from DEM."

"Uh...uh, that's impossible, Chief. Putting aside how other countries in the world view us now, whether we're even allowed to enter the country is a problem. Even if we go to the UK to borrow from DEM, how could they possibly lend you their trade secrets? Chief Lin, are you planning to conduct a technology exchange to obtain the principles and manufacturing technology of the display device?"

“Sharing.. is caring! hahaha!”

Lin Haiyuan said a sentence in English that left Hua Zhizi completely confused. The original sentence was one of the infiltration lines of the Epsilon infiltrators.

After being puzzled for a while, Yuuka, who lived and studied in the East Asian cultural sphere, realized that there was a hidden meaning in what she was saying and suddenly understood, "So it's about becoming a spy to steal DEM's display device technology!"

"But is it really possible for this to succeed? DEM should be extremely strict about protecting those kinds of trade secrets, right? Has Fenfeng planted a corporate spy within the upper echelons of DEM?"

Even someone like Yuuka, who doesn't really understand espionage, knows that DEM must be extremely vigilant about protecting its technology from being stolen or leaked.

"Yes, Edgar F. Carroll, the head of the display device development department at DEM Corporation."

Lin Haiyuan's smile became unfathomable.

"what?!"

Youhua Zhizi was immediately stunned. She did not expect that Fenfeng had a spy in the display device development department, and that he was the head of the department.

Is this the legendary "who in the world doesn't support communism?"

“No, Edgar F. Carroll, he wasn’t a Foehn spy before I went to England. Once I made contact with him, he became a Foehn spy.”

Lin Haiyuan's ambiguous statement confused Youhua Zhizi. Wasn't it before he went? And it was after they met?

"You'll find out why I say that when you come with me. Once we've made our plans, we'll immediately go to the British DEM company to find Edgar F. Carroll. After all, time is of the essence."

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he turned to the equipment room of the Burning Wind Barracks, "Now we're going to collect the equipment that Edgar F. Carroll from the British DEM company needs. The nanobots will remove the exhibits you're wearing."

"Ah, yes."

You Hua Zhizi immediately followed Lin Haiyuan, who was walking briskly, towards the equipment room of the Fenfeng barracks.

The author dislikes male chauvinism, as well as feminists who think their wives don't have to do anything and can just tell them what to do.

I also have no interest in so-called human rights organizations and the International Red Cross; their brainlessness and darkness are despicable.

These human rights organizations that advocate for women and children's rights are idiots. Their ideas about deformed fetuses in the womb are laughable. It's not that you have to abort the fetus and give birth to it, otherwise it's considered a violation of human rights and a crime.

That's fine, who will raise deformed children? That's the reaction of those human rights organizers; it's none of our business.

Okay, so this is what they call a human rights organization.

As for the International Red Cross's efforts to treat civilians in the Middle East and Afghanistan, it was revealed that the doctors were there to harvest organs, and saving lives was just a side job, or they didn't do it at all. Oh my goodness, is that even possible?

I need votes and blades!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Finding a New Path

In the equipment room beneath the Burning Wind barracks, there is a gardenia who, although she has only been with Burning Wind for less than a day, must go to the equipment room to change into the CR-UNIT "Wiring-suit" that Burning Wind manufactures and replicates.

She had a rudimentary understanding of the equipment room, where she saw the mechanically powered exoskeletons carrying heavy machine guns and claws that had appeared at the talks with the EU, the US, and Japan.

After undergoing facial and fingerprint recognition and password authentication by Walker.com AI, the two entered the equipment room together. It was a spacious place with many "slots". These slots were for the Foehn Infantry who needed to be equipped with nano combat suits or mechanical powered exoskeletons to stand in. Once the soldier's class was confirmed, the nano drones would immediately put the equipment on them.

Lin Haiyuan stopped and turned around, saying, "Miss Youhua, you will be handling and using Fenfeng's classified equipment. Please stand in your equipment slot first."

"Yes!"

When Hua Zhizi heard Lin Haiyuan mention the secret equipment of Fenfeng, she immediately stood up and came to stand in the equipment slot.

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he also stood on the equipment slot. Then, a wall rose up from one of the equipment slots to facilitate the operation of the nano-drones, surrounding Lin Haiyuan in a pillar made of nanomaterials.

Just like Tychus in Wings of Liberty 2 equipped with Marine Corps power armor, but nanodrones can put the entire set of equipment on the soldier much faster than those robotic arms.

Within half a minute, just like last time, they changed into the synchronized ninja combat suits that had already been synchronized with nanofibers. Then, after being enveloped by a mist-like nanodrone, the entire nano combat suit was activated. Once it was confirmed that there were no faults during testing, the wall automatically descended, and the Burning Wind Infantry inside were able to walk out after completing their equipment. If the nanodrone detected a fault, it would be repaired by the nanodrone.

This is the standard equipment procedure for the Burning Wind infantry in the Burning Wind barracks.

After Lin Haiyuan changed into the Synchronized Ninja Nano Combat Suit, the wall with the equipment slot for Hua Zhizi naturally lowered down.

She is still equipped with the CR-UNIT "Wiring-suit" that she was equipped with during the AST, except that this wiring kit, which served as the prototype, has been modified by Walker Network AI and Lin Haiyuan without affecting the core.

That is part of the application of nanofiber materials. The non-synchronous, thin yet tough nanofiber material covers the entire surface of the bodysuit except for the semi-transparent part, in order to further enhance the armor without affecting movement.

The original Wiring-suit design included a semi-transparent black mesh "temptation" design from below the chest to above the base of the genitals. This design, which looks like it's designed to stimulate some kind of piston-like movement, may not have proven to be practical in combat, but the defensive capabilities of that part are strangely stronger than the rest of the bodysuit.

Is this a manifestation of the wonderful characteristics of Japanese games or light novels: the more gorgeous the clothes and the less fabric, the stronger the defense?

Okay, putting that aside, that place couldn't just remain empty or be filled with nanofiber material, so a special device was integrated there using nanofiber material.

"Individual Phantom Core"

This equipment was originally given by Epsilon to Maron, a hero of the Scorpion Organization. It allows Maron, who is already skilled in assassination, to become permanently invisible to radar and the naked eye, as long as there are no detection units.

Of course, Yuri wouldn't allow such powerful equipment to fall into the hands of even a potential enemy. Therefore, in order to prepare for the possibility of Maron betraying Epsilon, Yuri secretly ordered a safety device to be installed in the core of the illusion.

The purpose of this safety device is to stop the operation of the individual illusion core, thus exposing Maron, who has been kept invisible.

Lala, who obtained the Illusion Core technology in Bissau, Africa, found it easy to replicate it after arriving in Fubuki. The invisibility effect of the Synchronous Ninja was also achieved thanks to the invisibility generator made based on the technology of the Illusion Core.

"Chief Lin, we're supposed to be on a spy mission, right? Why am I wearing my old AST gear? Wait, why does it look different from before? Why am I semi-transparent now?!"

Gardenia was greatly surprised to see the changes in her clothes and equipment.

First of all, the original brown-black reflective bodysuit has changed to a smooth and rounded silver-white color. Moreover, although it looks like a heavy metal armor, she did not feel that the weight of the wiring suit had increased much.

As for the feeling of weight, it was only about 5% heavier than the original wiring kit. Then she displayed the command for the miniature missile in her mind.

The miniature missiles on both shoulders immediately appeared, but they were still the same as before, including the beam gun and beam saber.

"Your impression of espionage missions isn't about us disguising ourselves so others can't recognize us, then each of us wearing suits and evening gowns to attend cocktail parties and banquets, is it?"

Lin Haiyuan countered with a question about gardenias.

"Uh, yes..."

Gardenia answered somewhat awkwardly.

"The kind of espionage missions you usually imagine are about gathering political and military intelligence or carrying out conspiracies. Stealing technology requires spies to go to laboratories or databases to steal it."

Lin Haiyuan patiently answered her questions.

"Oh, I see... I understand."

Youhua Zhizi nodded as she looked at Lin Haiyuan, who was wearing the Synchronous Ninja Nano Combat Suit.

"As for the changes to your bodysuit and CR-UNIT, it's because of the Uragan nanofiber armor covering it. This improvement is essentially just external armor, without any deeper significance. Besides, you can't attach external armor to areas that aren't covered by your bodysuit and CR-UNIT."

Lin Haiyuan spoke into the communication channel, pointing to the abdomen with the gardenia flower.

"Do you notice that your body feels a bit heavier in the abdominal area than in other places? The reason you are semi-transparent, or invisible, is because there is a single-soldier cloaking device installed there."

Lin Haiyuan's voice was transmitted through the built-in communicator in his nano combat suit to the bird claw-shaped hair clip, which also served as a hair ornament and a dual-channel communicator.

Gardenia lowered her head to look at her abdomen. "Is the cloaking device hidden between the armor and the bodysuit? Is this the secret equipment of the Fenfeng?"

“That’s right, it’s located inside the Uragan nanofiber armor. Now, come with me. You’ll be allowed access to more of Foehn’s secrets.”

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he walked towards the teleportation room outside the equipment room, which was one of the ways he entered the Colonia flank air base from the Burning Wind Barracks.

"More secrets about the Foehn winds?"

With a face full of curiosity, Youhua Zhizi was undoubtedly intrigued by Lin Haiyuan's words. After all, the invisibility device was already amazing, and she would be able to come into contact with even more interesting things in the future.

"You should remember the confidentiality clauses instilled in you by the memory recorder, right? You are not allowed to tell anyone you are about to learn anything without permission, understand?"

Lin Haiyuan's voice became stern.

"Yes!"

After Hua Zhizi responded, she followed Lin Haiyuan into a place marked "Teleportation Room".

"You can just stand here."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he pressed a button next to the door and closed the teleportation room door. This time, the teleportation would not require the use of a hyperspace teleporter. It would only require the use of the hyperspace teleportation device used by the Allied forces' hyperspace mining vehicles, with modifications and additional generators to supply the large amount of energy needed for ultra-long-distance hyperspace teleportation.

The feeling of weightlessness wouldn't cause any adverse effects for Lin Haiyuan and Youhua Zhizi, who were already accustomed to the zero or low gravity brought about by time travel and the randomness of the space.

Meanwhile, at Colonia's flank air base, which was moving at the lowest energy consumption rate in the East China Sea, her command center not only welcomed the sole commander of the Foehn Wind, but also a guest.

The numerous holographic projections emitting a pale green light, the dark green office facilities, and the ceilings and walls with many green electrical circuits were so striking that Youhua Zhizi was immediately stunned.

Although she had seen similar scenes in the command room inside the Fenfeng Construction Site, this was a much grander and more spacious scene filled with all kinds of holographic projections and visible data flow.

This truly shocked Hua Zhizi; she was so surprised that her mouth was agape.

Shouldn't I have been in an elevator? How did I end up here in a place that looks even more spacious, multifunctional, and futuristic than the command center inside the Fenfeng Construction Site without even walking?

Youhua Zhizi felt like she was dreaming, but when she thought about the powerful science and technology that Fenfeng had shown to the outside world and to herself, she felt that none of this was a dream, but a real reality.

"Haa………………"

A gardenia turned its body, gazing intently at everything around it, as if immersed in the captivating technological landscape created by cutting-edge technology.

"Now, Miss Hana, you should understand why I and my equipment were able to suddenly appear in the stadium of Kagoshima International University, lead people out from inside, and then disappear without a trace, right?"

Lin Haiyuan's face, protected by the multi-functional armored helmet, curled into a malicious smile.

"Woo~ Gu..."

Gardenia swallowed hard. "I understand now. It's because of teleportation. Fenfeng has mastered the technology of teleportation..."

"That's right, but the proper name isn't instant teleportation, it's called hyperspace teleportation. We, the Burning Wind, have mastered the technology of hyperspace teleportation. If I want, I can be teleported to any corner of the world."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Haiyuan added, "Of course, all of this requires prior calculation of spacetime coordinates and preparation of sufficient energy before it can be carried out, rather than being able to be done anytime, anywhere immediately."

"Then... Chief Lin, where were we teleported to?"

Gardenia asked him, her expression somewhat blank.

Lin Haiyuan didn't speak. Instead, he sat down at the desk and chair in front of him, then tapped a button on the desk to bring up a holographic projection image, which appeared in front of Youhua Zhizi.

"Typhoon... no, this isn't an ordinary typhoon, but the most powerful typhoon ever recorded on Earth, one that nearly threw the entire country into chaos a while ago!"

The holographic projection visible to the gardenias displays an image of the typhoon's apex taken by a meteorological satellite.

"But, does the satellite weather map of the typhoon's peak have anything to do with where we are?"
