Colonia Storm Tour

Gardenia turned to look at him and asked.

"After you gain mental power, will your mental power be able to better assist you in using CR-UNIT and increase the precision of your free domain? Also, will it be able to reach the limit of Artemisia's activity time when she is equipped with Lancelot? Walker AI and I still need to collect a lot of relevant data."

Lin Haiyuan explained.

"Yes, I understand. Chief Lin, you mean... you want the Apostle Forces on Colonia's flank to be equipped with similar CR-UNITs for combat?"

When Hua Zhizi heard Lin Haiyuan specifically mention whether mental power would provide convenience in CR-UNIT and the precision of the random field, she thought that the air pressure balloon apostles on the flanks of Colonia in the future might also be equipped with CR-UNIT.

"Of course, after all, ordinary air pressure balloon apostles, including air pressure balloon ascendants, cannot fly freely in the air by relying solely on their mental power, not even me, who possesses the strongest mental power among them."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he nodded to the Fenfeng soldier who saluted him and then continued talking to Youhua Zhizi.

"In order to provide the Balloon Apostles with more and stronger tactical advantages, as well as advantages against cunning and agile enemies in the air, it is very important to design and manufacture a CR-UNIT for the Balloon Apostles and for special commandos."

Just as Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, Walker.com AI's communication came through.

“Master, they are requesting to dock at the deep-water pier to receive supplies from Keelung. They say they have US dollars in cash to pay.”

Lin Haiyuan immediately replied, "That's a bit clever. Have them make a list of people who want to disembark and receive supplies. Make a temporary identity document for everyone who wants to disembark that can be tracked. Also, remind them that if they lose this thing or use it to do something they shouldn't, and are treated as spies, they can only wait for your Mr. Woodman to come and take them away or simply be shot. Once they come to Fenfeng, they will have to abide by Fenfeng's rules."

"Yes, Master."

After Walker.com's AI voice disappeared, Lin Haiyuan continued with the main topic.

"More complex details will not be explained outside the experimental site. In short, the data you obtain is very valuable and will provide theoretical data references for the future air pressure balloon apostle equipment CR-UNIT. Your feelings will also become practical references. It must be said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

Lin Haiyuan stopped after speaking. "Youhua, go and call Luo Wen now. Bring her to Equipment Room 0. I'll be waiting for you two there."

"Yes!"

After Hua Zhizi finished speaking, she ran quickly towards the female soldiers' dormitory in the underground dormitory of the Burning Wind Army Camp. Lin Haiyuan watched her back for a while before walking towards the newly built Equipment Room No. 0.

"Walker.com AI, contact Captain Kaul and Deputy Captain Ling Yunrong of the Special Assault Brigade for me."

Lin Haiyuan said as he walked down the road.

"Contacting..."

Less than a few seconds after Walker.net's AI voice disappeared, Kaul and Aya Yunrong's voices appeared in his ears at the same time.

"Chief Lin x2"

"When your special assault team participates in the battle in the Kashi region of Tibet, will you be fully familiar with your equipment and vehicles?"

Lin Haiyuan asked.

"I am completely familiar with and proficient in using the Sagittarius Vanguard Nanosuit and the Eradicator Rifle, but I still need more time to operate the Super Thor Gunship."

Kaur answered Lin Haiyuan's question truthfully.

"I'm already quite familiar with the Huntress's nano combat suit and weapons, but like Kaul, I still need some time to train in the virtual world to operate the Super Thor Gunship."

Ling Yunrong's answer was firm and powerful.

"Then you only have three days. After three days, the mercenaries from Ratatosk will be in place in Kaohsiung. I won't disturb you any longer, continue your training."

After Lin Haiyuan finished speaking, he prepared to end the communication.

Yes! x2

Before the echo of his voice had completely faded, Lin Haiyuan ended the communication and entered Equipment Room 0 after passing through four verification processes: fingerprint, face, voice, and password.

The character design for Kaul will be released then, as will the design for "Eureka".

Screw Bro's cameo has officially made its debut, while Kaur was a last-minute idea, as was Hoshikaze Tokiha.

Chapter 50 Valkyrie

Today, the newly established Equipment Room No. 0 finally welcomed people other than Lin Haiyuan, namely Hua Zhizi and Luo Wen.

Looking at the two equipment slots in Equipment Room 0, he noticed the sound of the electronic door behind him opening and turned around.

"Commander Lin, I have brought Wenwen with me."

Gardenia stood at attention and reported to her.

"Uh, Chief Lin, why did you bring me to the equipment room?"

Rowan looked at him with obvious confusion in his eyes and on his face.

“Nirvash with flowers is ready. You will be needed for her combat test, Rowan. However, I have a special idea to improve the combat test of flowers.”

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he pointed to the large monitor on the other side.

"Look there."

As soon as he spoke, Walker.net AI activated the large display there, and Nirvash's three-view drawing and three-dimensional rotating image, which were formed by combining the dismantled Lancelot's back wing device with the miniaturized Analak equipment, immediately appeared on the display.

"That's the appearance of Nirvash with gardenia flowers, and it's also the CR-UNIT that we Foehn Winds semi-independently manufactured. The main part is still the Lancelot developed by DEM, and the second one, Analak, is ours."

Lin Haiyuan turned to them and continued, "This is a CR-UNIT that can be used for both ranged and close-range attacks. However, in actual combat, it is still necessary to use the Aroundight skill in your hand to defeat enemies, because the usual targets are DEM's elite magicians or... elves. I won't go into the details here. I learned that Asgard Electronics also produces display devices, so I asked at the subsequent meeting if they sell CR-UNIT."

"Commander Lin, you also purchased CR-UNIT from Ratatosk? Why would we need to purchase CR-UNIT when we already have the complete DEM display equipment and CR-UNIT technology?"

Gardenia expressed her complete incomprehension of this.

"Wait, Gardenia, Chief Lin, when did Fenfeng acquire the display device and CR-UNIT technology?"

Luo Wen felt confused after hearing their conversation. She did know that Fenfeng had an AST CR-UNIT before, but that was brought by Hua Zhizi when she defected to Fenfeng. What was going on with this DEM's Lancelot, the DEM's full display device, and the CR-UNIT technology?

Seeing Luo Wen's bewildered expression, Lin Haiyuan knew he needed to explain.

"Rowan, after Gardenia joined the Fenfeng, we tried to replicate CR-UNIT, but we found that due to our lack of understanding of the core principles, the replication failed quite naturally. So, in order to fully utilize Gardenia's abilities and to gain an understanding of future magician enemies, we infiltrated the DEM headquarters in the UK through time-space teleportation. After obtaining the location of the DEM Comprehensive Research Base, we infiltrated that base, took control of the main person in charge of the display device development department, and obtained all the technical data of the display devices and CR-UNIT. Then we returned safely."

Lin Haiyuan deliberately omitted the experience of encountering Artemisia at the base, which caused him severe internal injuries.

"Huh...?!"

Rowan let out a rather incredulous breathing sound and a shocked expression.

"Wenwen, things weren't as easy as Chief Lin made them out to be. On the way to the underground parking lot, Chief Lin encountered Artemisia and fought her, sustaining serious injuries. If he hadn't taken a risky move to knock Artemisia unconscious, Chief Lin would have lost his life there."

Gardenia sighed as she finished speaking.

"Is this really true?"

Luo Wen looked at Lin Haiyuan with eyes full of worry.

"That's all ancient history, it's all over now so don't worry about me. Getting back to the point, I heard I wanted to buy a CR-UNIT, and Ratatosk readily provided one..."

As Lin Haiyuan spoke, he turned his gaze back to the large display screen, which now showed all the data that Ratatosk and Walker AI had tested themselves.

"AW-111 [Brünnhilde]..."

Gardenia read out the name of the CR-UNIT provided by Ratatosk.

"Yes, as expected of an organization named after terms from Norse mythology, even their equipment is named after the Valkyries of Norse mythology."

Lin Haiyuan put his hands behind his back. "I still prefer the naming style of our Fenfeng, which is based on natural and diverse elements. Once we get the production license, we'll have to think carefully about what name to change it to."

"The fact that we've purchased a CR-UNIT is clear, but who exactly is this CR-UNIT for?"

A gardenia asked.

"Could it be for me...?"

Rowan already knew what was going on.

"Of course it's for Rowan. You know, although your ranged attacks are very powerful, unfortunately, the magician opponents you'll be facing in the future are all Jedi Knights who like to fight with lightsabers. So I want a Brunhilde so that you and Youhua Zhizi can practice your dogfighting skills together. Funnels may not be able to solve the problem, but lightsabers might be able to."

Lin Haiyuan's words were true. In the original work, it seemed that all the magicians who could be dealt with by ranged attacks were just minor characters. The elites would often dodge the ranged attacks gracefully or awkwardly, and after confirming that the BVR intimidation was ineffective, they would pick up their lightsabers and slash.

"However, Chief Lin Haiyuan, to use CR-UNIT, a small display device must first be implanted in the head, which requires surgery."

Here, Hua Zhizi raised her biggest question.

“This was already taken into consideration. Fortunately, Ratatosk and CR-UNIT sent over the small display device embedded in the head, which we have already reverse engineered and manufactured. All the parts that are not welcomed by the Foehn winds have been removed. Brunhilde will need more time to complete the reverse engineering mapping.”

Lin Haiyuan casually recounted the shocking facts, how he reverse-engineered the small display device delivered in just a few hours and created a harmless copy.

If the engineers and technologists at Ratatosk heard about this, they would probably think it was all special effects, fake, and a hoax. However, with a highly advanced quantum computer, one can do whatever one wants.

"…………"

Rowan was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

"…………"

Even the gardenias had a blank, wooden expression.

"Fenfeng can do even more. Otherwise, why would we have set up a separate Equipment Room 0 for the two of you? Don't just stand there like an idiot. The test is waiting for you two."

Lin Haiyuan used his spiritual power to stimulate their minds and bring them back to their senses.

"Ah, yes!"

A gardenia responded.

"Yes, but Chief Lin, Zhi Zi just mentioned that using CR-UNIT requires implanting a display device in the head, which definitely requires craniotomy, right?"

Rowan asked, puzzled.

"Foehn winds don't necessarily need doctors to perform such simple surgeries. Nanodrones can do this kind of thing quickly, painlessly, and safely, without any problems."

Lin Haiyuan said it was only natural.

"Uh... okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Rowan agreed.

"Your equipment slot is on the left, and the one with the flower is on the right."

Lin Haiyuan assigned positions to the two of them.

Rowan and Youhua Zhizi then walked to their designated equipment slots, and the familiar black walls covered with electronic patterns rotated and rose up, enveloping them.

The process of equipping Gardenia is the same as before, except that the CR-UNIT "Wiring-suit" has been changed to the CR-UNIT "Nirvash".

Conventional outer garments and skirts are disassembled by nanodrones and stored in underground pipes. Then, a brand-new bodysuit made of nanofiber material, which is thin yet tough, has good energy flow, and can bind a certain field, is formed on her body. Although it cannot reach the toughness of the Royal Cavalry armed to the teeth or the Giant Slayer with its multi-layered nanofibers that surpasses Volkov, it is enough to ricochet or be unable to penetrate 5.56mm and 7.62mm bullets, and is difficult to penetrate even with 12.7mm machine gun bullets. Moreover, it has good impact resistance and cushioning performance, and thermal weapons cannot easily ignite it.

After the bodysuit for Nirvash was completed, the nanodrone equipped her with the CR-UNIT "Nirvash".

Compared to the initial Nirvash displayed by Walker.com AI at the Colonia flank air base, the Nirvash appearing on her now has some more detailed modifications.

Then, shoulder armor made of the same nanofiber material was installed on both shoulders, along with ferocious ramming horns. If any opponent dared to get close, the right moment would be to use the ramming horns of the shoulder armor to ram them and let them taste the power of ramming horns.
