I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

This is a special secret force with no code name. When on a mission, they usually just temporarily draw an Arabic numeral as the unit code. If there is anything that can prove their difference, it is their simple exterior with only a five-pointed star.

Medea divided the alliance's special forces into three levels. There was no elimination system, only a promotion system.

The elites selected from the entire army will be gathered together from all over the country to undergo elite and systematic learning of various combat skills and tactical ideas.

From the moment they are selected, they are basic third-level special forces soldiers. Those who fail to be promoted will be sent back to their original units to form special reconnaissance units within their own teams.

The rest will be automatically promoted to second-level special forces. They will undergo more rigorous and cruel training and actual combat exercises. Those who fail to achieve the promotion will be sent back to their local areas, but this group of people will be integrated into the local military region to form a military region special forces brigade.

The first level is naturally the top soldiers directly under the central government. They will be divided according to the number of people and the degree of coordination, and combined into two or three special forces with independent numbers, their own programs and symbols.

In addition to the first level, there is also a secret level, which is the 50-man force that Betty is in. They are a special force created by Medea alone, selecting the best from the best.

Apart from the military missions that have never been issued, their greatest use at present is to provide various data feedback as testers of various black technologies or experimental equipment in cutting-edge laboratories.

When necessary, they have the highest authority to directly access all special weapons available in the Alliance Laboratory for combat.

For example, the experimental-grade, modified version of Barrett's bolt-action rifle that Medea gave to Mi Wei before, each of the fifty of them was given one as standard equipment, and they usually used genuine silver-plated elemental bullets for training, just to make them familiar with the gun and unleash its maximum power.

They also spared no expense in research and development in other areas, just like the exoskeleton armor that they are now wearing as they gather in the equipment department, which is shining with cold white light and light golden inscriptions.

With the joint efforts of the elves, Medea's brain and ideas from the previous life, the exoskeleton armor from the previous life was realized in this world through magic.

She had to admit that most of the people in the alliance were ordinary people. Even if the mass-produced machines in the past could be produced at a rapid pace, she did not have that many people who could operate the machines.

So she decided to refer to the plan from her previous life and take a different approach, which was to use an exoskeleton as a support base to reduce the mental requirements for using the body, and then add a second layer of heavy armor on the outside.

The good thing is that the inner exoskeleton is powered. The elves have optimized a node-type power pack for her, deconstructing the cubic elemental power pack into a rectangular power rod as thick as a forearm.

Although the energy is greatly reduced, multiple devices can now be stacked and directly integrated into the back and shoulders of the exoskeleton to form a matrix or horizontal row. The total power is 20% stronger than before.

The inscription formation is closely attached to the human body, reducing the mental strength requirements to a minimum. An adult man can control the exoskeleton and move freely.

Everything becomes simple if you can control the exoskeleton. On the outer layer of the exoskeleton, a set of body armor is assembled and hung on the exoskeleton, using the exoskeleton as a supporting skeleton. In other words, the internal passengers control the exoskeleton and indirectly control the outermost body.

This type of nesting doll operation has many disadvantages. The first is that the process is complicated and the cost is high. It is also too delicate to repair, and it is even more convenient to replace it with a new one than to repair it.

But there are many advantages as well. The exoskeleton itself can be equipped with a power pack on the back, and the exoskeleton can be driven by the mental power amplified by the exoskeleton. The two combined can enable the operator to control the body as easily as using his fingers and arms.

However, the Kingdom Empire's previous universal machines did not have a weak point, the head. For an ordinary three-meter machine, the soldiers were half-curled up in the cockpit in the middle of the machine, using their mental power to control the movements and attacks of the machine.

Medea prefers to call this exoskeleton model a mecha.

Because the exoskeleton fits the operator, the subsequent addition of external armor will naturally form a complete humanoid outline with a head and butt, just an enlarged version.

In the "vulnerable" parts of the head, liftable protective transparent baffles made of pure magic-free crystal cutting and polishing are added to the front and back.

There is no difference between the driver controlling the outer armor and his normal body. The only difference is that like the humanoid soldiers in StarCraft, his hands and feet are extended by the outer armor. A middle-aged man of standard height of 1.8m becomes more than four meters tall when fully armed.

There are also two types of weapons and ammunition, one is a silver-plated magic-breaking bullet, and the other is a special armor-piercing bullet.

A complete set of special steel nail bullets with double detonation using magic dust mixed with nitroglycerin fiber as propellant.

The gun barrel is fired with nitrocellulose as the propellant. After the 12.7-108mm bullet is fired, the small wind resistance tail fin will be bounced off at the rear. Under the resistance of the strong counter-flowing airflow, the tail fin will be torn apart and fall off.

The dust mixture at the bottom of the bullet explodes, blowing open the metal sheet of the bullet to reveal the silver-plated tungsten steel core inside. At the same time, it accelerates a second time in the air, piercing and blasting the enemy's magic shield.

The container provided for this type of bullet is an upgraded version of the PKDM super-heavy machine gun. In order to prevent the weapon from being destroyed by magic, the entire gun body is made of a special alloy mixed with magic-immune powder.

M means magic immunity, and D means big as the name suggests.

The 200-round drum magazine of this gun can turn a 6-meter-tall captain into a sieve within rounds, let alone a mecha soldier.

But this kind of bullet is extremely expensive. What is fired out is not a bullet, but gold pieces that are larger than the same volume. Note, it is not the same weight, but the volume!

Its theoretical maximum rate of fire is 950 rounds per minute, the maximum capacity of the drum magazine is 200 and the minimum is 50. With a flexible ammunition belt mounted on it, it can fire for as long as it weighs.

This crazy behavior of spending money caused Medea to sign with her eyes closed every time she saw the bill. If she opened her eyes, she was afraid that the astronomical figures on it would make her mentally explode.

But there is no way. This world itself is not so normal. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't hold a trump card in her hand. She couldn't rely entirely on the witch clan. This was her bottom line.

Today they have their first mission objective, which is to protect the safety of the venue of the Holy Light Cathedral, where ambassadors from various countries, major politicians from the states, representatives of the Allied Workers and Peasants Association and other important figures will gather.

This level of party was also held for the first time by the Seris Alliance. They were specially allowed to come out in order to prevent the incident that was sabotaged by the Vatican in the past.

This will also be their first appearance in public.

Chapter 150 Mecha Guard, Happy New Year's Eve!!!

In the equipment room, Betty put on the exoskeleton inner armor with the help of the logistics staff. She fastened the link buckles herself, and the staff helped her install high-strength spring groups and small hydraulic telescopic pumps on her shoulders and thighs.

On the rigid spine is a row of rectangular magic crystals that are placed side by side and buckled: "Try to move it around."

Upon hearing this, Betty moved her arms and legs, but found it very difficult to squat, so she explained the situation to the staff behind her.

The staff member smiled and said, "The weight of the armor is borne by the exoskeleton. The spine is the key point of the supporting structure. You will find it difficult to crouch now. Wait until the armor is put on and try again. If you are ready, go ahead."

Exoskeletons are tailored to the combatants' body data. Although they are exoskeletons, their purpose is more inclined to bear weight, so the structure is mainly simple and efficient.

For example, the arm exoskeleton only has movable devices at the shoulder and elbow sections; the upper and lower arms are made of solid rigid materials and cannot move.

The most exquisitely made are the hands designed to imitate plate armor gloves, with special mosaic inscription arrays engraved on the backs of the hands, the palms of the hands, and even the inside and outside of each fingertip. The same is true for the legs.

We took the conveyor elevator to another assembly workshop, where a large number of staff were on standby, with various parts of the machine body placed in batches beside them.

There were also rows of mechas with lower bodies that were over 2 meters tall, like cabbages on the roadside.

Betty stood on the dedicated assembly table above the lower body of the mecha and posed as required. Five or six staff members surrounded her and began the final assembly.

Two mobile carts pushed the front and back sides of the main armor breastplate to fit Betty's chest and abdomen. A staff member took large and small square sticks and inserted them into the reserved holes one by one. The inscriptions on the front and back ends of the square sticks were spliced ​​and connected with the inscriptions on the breastplate, and then the energy crystal was used to lightly touch it to check whether the inscription path was unobstructed.

The staff in charge of the arm part had a more troublesome task. The arm of a 4-meter-tall mecha is 1.6 meters long, while Betty's arm is only 65 cm long, so the arm has to be assembled in 4 sections.

First, buckle the arm end and the chest armor together. Another employee pushes the big steel hand with a section of forearm to adjust the direction, and opens the magic bag at the bottom of the trolley to connect to the energy source to activate the operation of the palm.

Match the high-strength flexible inscription patches with a faint glow inside with Betty's spread out gauntlets one by one. The embedded inscriptions will automatically stick together when they touch the lower part to complete the inscription cycle.

"Hey comrade! Please move your hands!"

Betty moved her fingers as she was told and turned her head to look. As she moved her fingers, the huge iron hand on the shelf not far away also made the same movement.

"Perfect! Comrade, let me give you a piece of advice. This kind of control method may make your fingers tense and curl up, so please don't point the gun at your own people~"

'Um...'

The staff began to assemble the remaining parts. They first lifted Betty's arm and placed half of it underneath, then lowered the other arm from above to snap it together, and then rotated and snapped it into place with the previously installed part. Now Betty's entire arm was in the upper arm of the mecha.

Since the forearm does not have any body parts of the driver, most of the tissue is made of magic-immune alloy, which firmly protects the inscription patch that controls the palm in the most central position.

If necessary, you can also use this hardest part of the body to do blocking and parrying actions.

The lower body was much simpler because Betty couldn't touch the lower body of the mecha at all.

Through a large number of soft inscription harnesses integrated into the leg exoskeleton, Betty's mental power and the use of the leg exoskeleton allow the mecha's legs to move synchronously.

With the completion of the lifting of the top head, the staff at the rear of the mecha installed two emergency oxygen tanks and spare energy columns into the concealed slots and covered them with a cover, and the overall assembly was completed.

The final step of installing the large energy rod and the outermost tactical backpack can only be done by machines, as they cannot move such large objects.

Soon, a convoy of construction trucks drove into the huge factory from the underground passage and stopped. A short and fat old man in a white coat jumped out of the lead truck.

After arranging the engineering vehicle to carry out the final energy installation, he climbed onto the roof and shouted with a large megaphone:

"Listen up, girls and boys! I believe that some staff have reminded you to pay attention to the direction of the gun muzzle before, but I will remind you again. If it is not an emergency, please keep your fingers on the extended grip at the bottom!"

"Accidental discharges due to bullet issues are absolutely not allowed to happen."

"One armor-piercing spike can penetrate the Soyuz vehicle from head to tail. Believe me, you don't want to see what kind of tragedy would happen if it hits a human body!"

"I have great faith in your combat proficiency, but you can't be so tense all the time. Those who heard clearly can line up to get their weapons. There are regular magazines in Area B. Everyone can get a box of drum magazines to test fire and get familiar with the feel."

Birthday night arrives as expected

The Cathedral of Holy Light is about to officially welcome its first batch of visitors.

In addition to representatives of workers and farmers and politicians from various states, there are also ambassadors from surrounding countries to Paeses and their families, as well as elite citizens and their families who have received honorary medals in various fields of industry, agriculture, science, business and academia.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a chance to attend the event in person, as all major commercial plazas and town centers in state cities and towns have large magic circles for transmitting information and images.

When the bus convoy carrying political elites arrived at the Cathedral of Holy Light, the expected large number of guards and security personnel, and even the dense crowds of people, did not appear.

Only a few waves of patrol officers on routine patrols passed by and cooperated with the traffic police department to arrange for them to get off the bus.

A middle-aged man in a red robe got off the bus. Looking at the quiet scene around him, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said in a gloomy way:

"If your alliance is short of manpower, why don't you let us bring our own country's security team? Does Her Majesty the Queen of your country not care about our safety at all?"

The Foreign Minister in charge of the reception did not say anything upon hearing this. Instead, he smiled and led the workers, peasants and elite citizens out of the car at the door, shaking hands and hugging them from time to time, creating a joyous atmosphere.

The person in charge of the representatives of various countries was Deputy Minister Koi. Facing the confused or surprised expressions of the representatives, he just smiled and said, "We attach great importance to your safety. Please wait for a moment."

The middle-aged man wanted to say something else when a dull roar sounded at the corner of the street in the distance. A huge black shadow with a flickering yellow light on its head drove out and turned the front of the car to reveal its dazzling headlights.

The total height of the vehicle body carried by the 10x10 chassis is nearly 7 meters. When it drives forward, it looks like a moving steel fortress, with two vehicles in front and behind guarding the ordinary stretched sedan in the middle.

Koi smiled and said, "Our Queen is here!"

Chapter 151 If you can’t drink, go to the kids’ table!

When the motorcade arrived at the church entrance, dense deflation sounds were heard, the rear compartment of the heavy truck was opened, and several black men about 5 meters tall jumped out of the car, and with steady steps they gathered the guests in the center.

Looking at the tall mecha soldiers around them, whose appearance was completely different from what they had seen before, representatives from various countries showed expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.

Their surprise was not fake, because all the machines shared the same design and actually looked pretty much the same. At most, they could only distinguish between friend and foe through exterior decorations and flags.

The design of the Seris Alliance's aircraft can be said to be a completely different species. It no longer has the semi-cockpit protrusion of the past, and the overall design is more slim and fit, more like a human figure.

In other words, if the machine body is a little further away from them, it is actually no different from a larger version of the Federal machine gunner.

However, the sense of oppression was very strong. In addition to the psychological pressure brought by their human-like bodies, the representatives with magical skills could feel the threat from the large firearms they held.

It's like sitting on the branch of a huge tree hanging in the air, with a strong sense of uneasiness.

This is also the design concept that Medea set for the mecha. There is no need for fancy magic or melee skills, and all abilities are concentrated on the weapons as much as possible.

For example, armor-piercing bullets, magic-breaking bullets, and explosive bullets, with their extremely high firing rate and firepower sustainability, basically no carbon-based creature can withstand such damage.

Even if Medea relied on her magic shield to protect herself, she would have to flash away before taking the third shot. Even her magic crystals could not withstand the piercing explosion under continuous shooting.

If you don't want to suppress fire, you can use the machine gun as a sniper gun through the infrared optics integrated into the machine gun and the large scope that can detect magic.

Oh, actually this caliber is no longer an ordinary machine gun, it is more accurately called an anti-material heavy machine gun.

Of course, more professional bolt-action heavy sniper guns are also under development, and naturally some mecha soldiers will be equipped with them by then. It would be a waste of bullets to use that thing to attack captain-level mechas.
