When Fairy Yunmeng arrived at the playground, many hot-blooded students were quite enamored with this beautiful woman.
Some students who progressed quickly even believed that they were the protagonists of a fantasy novel, destined to be surrounded by beautiful women and to have a teacher's wife as their guide. Of course, this was just wishful thinking. Everyone has their moments of fantasy, and whether or not it can be realized, it's not bad to have a thought to motivate oneself to work hard.
How could a young person's dream be limited to simply buying a house?
"We're going out for an internship today, so get ready."
The so-called field internship was actually just going to the mountain town to kill insects, and incidentally, letting these students test the new weapons.
What new weapon? It's the power armor we got from World Two, of course.
The biggest difference between exoskeletons and power armor is that exoskeletons are not sealed, while power armor has a complete life support system inside, and the gas exchange with the outside is strictly filtered.
Both the United States and the Soviet Union in World II developed powered armor and exoskeletons as a whole category.
Simply put, an exoskeleton is a power armor without a fully enclosed module, while power armor is an exoskeleton with a fully enclosed module.
The exoskeleton is the most basic powered armor frame, and then modules are stacked on top of it. Different modules correspond to different functions, achieving the effect of cheap mass production.
High-density energy batteries and micro fusion reactors are the power core of this system. Without sufficient energy, powered armor is a joke; you can't expect soldiers to drag power lines into battle.
The design concepts of all powered armor by the US and the Soviet Union were basically the same. The difference was that some special models were reinforced in certain areas and used special materials, but the overall structure did not change much. At most, it was just that this part used to be made of alloy material, and now I have changed it to titanium alloy.
Therefore, aside from the paint schemes and designs deliberately created to distinguish friend from foe, the technical principles of the two are largely the same.
You could even import AI chips from southern Jiangsu and install them in the US military's exoskeleton portable computers, then cover them with closed armor modules imported from the Soviet Union.
Concrete evidence of collusion between the US and the Soviet Union (confirmed).
"Holy crap! Power armor."
"Oh my god, I'm going to become a Space Marine!"
"Is there some more modification surgery waiting for me? Hurry up and bring it up!"
"Look at me first, look at me first!"
However, no, these power armors were worn in the conventional way, with a flexible, close-fitting protective suit underneath. After changing into this suit, one could put on the power armor. There were no transport planes for the rest of the journey, and everyone flew to the mountain city.
Using individual flying vehicles, the maximum speed can reach 600 kilometers per hour. They can be controlled by AI. The airspace along the route is cleared before departure, but it is not really necessary because their flight altitude will not exceed 1,000 meters above the ground. They will even deliberately descend to show off.
This could also be seen as Shenzhou Civilization advertising itself, but the explanation given to the students was that they should operate it freely and adapt to the militia equipment as soon as possible.
Yes, Qin Shan instructed Saratoga to tell the outside world that this was militia equipment.
Compared to the technological level of the US and the Soviet Union in World War II, it doesn't seem wrong to say that the US and the Soviet Union were militias.
Regardless of whether their interstellar travel technology was lazy or not, at least they have sub-light-speed spaceships.
The instructors from other military units were also excited when they saw the equipment, but unfortunately, Fairy Yunmeng only prepared the equipment for the students. The instructors could only assist at most. However, Fairy Yunmeng assured them that she would provide them with corresponding power armor in the future, which would help them get used to the equipment in advance.
Qin Shan will share this technology, and China can import power armor and corresponding modules from China.
To what extent it can be replicated depends on the hard work of China's scientific researchers, and I believe they will not let themselves down.
After all, the Earth researchers who went to World Two to conduct research on the island where the Free Earth spaceship was located have already produced some results. Although these are only the most superficial technological achievements and the core technologies are still far from being realized, they at least prove that Earth civilization can be reverse engineered. No matter how much or how little, having something is better than having nothing.
Moreover, Qin Shan has a squad member to help out. Although this person is not a technician, he can at least use his authority to unlock some important functional modules of the spaceship, reducing the workload of the decryption system and allowing him to directly enter the research of software and hardware.
As the students set off from Changbai Mountain, new and exciting videos quickly appeared on various websites.
"Hahahahahahaha, I'm Iron Man!"
"I went down, I came up, I went down again, I came up again!"
"This is true masculine romance!!"
These students, now equipped with powered armor and in a state of heightened excitement, generated a massive surge in traffic across various platforms.
Initially, the authorities considered suppressing the trending topic, but quickly gave up. After all, you can suppress things on internet platforms, but what about observers? They don't interact at all; they just observe and broadcast live. Now it's a complete network system independent of the global internet. When the government tries to cover things up, it's easier to attract discussion and anger. In the past, you could never see the truth, and no matter how much people discussed it, the trending topic would disappear in a few days.
However, the Observer civilization is now clearly very interested in the various hot discussions about Earth's civilization. Not only will they broadcast it live, but they will also suddenly follow up on the live broadcast at certain times, as well as the follow-up updates of various events, and they will put it on the hot topic list. No matter how you try to suppress it, you can't suppress it. After all, the network technology of the superhuman civilization is something that humans on Earth are currently helpless against.
So, we're tired, we're giving up. Do whatever you want, we're open to the group's scrutiny! (Heartbreaking)
So, in less than a minute, the whole world knew that China already had Iron Man—or rather, technology provided by the Divine Civilization, or rather, militia technology—fully demonstrating just how ridiculously powerful this civilization was.
The cutting-edge technology that rivals Iron Man's armor is just militia equipment to them.
That's regular army equipment...
Researchers and high-ranking officials from various countries have all thought of Fairy Yunmeng's terrifying combat power.
Perhaps, possibly, maybe, not necessarily, hard to say, high-level superhumans are powerful weapons in themselves, surpassing all other weapons.
It's so scary.
When humanity truly equipped itself with powered armor and began to soar through the skies, the entire era was transformed. A flame of ambition to reach for the heavens ignited in everyone's heart, a dream of having their own.
Become an extraordinary being in a day and roam freely among the stars.
No, no, no, you can imagine something even more amazing, like saving the world or something.
Isn't this the legendary superhero?! We have our own superhero now!?
Some people felt excited, some felt sad, but most felt a mix of emotions.
Why wasn't I chosen? Am I not the protagonist of this world?
That's right, you poor NPCs, those pathetic little screwdrivers shouldn't have any unrealistic ambitions, just obediently be background figures.
That's true in theory, but that was in the past. Now, as long as one awakens a superhuman talent, it's like a carp leaping over the dragon gate in an instant, without any reason. It's no exaggeration to say that the power to destroy the old order has now made the old order hesitant to act.
So what changes will supernatural powers bring next?
Chapter 76: Extraordinary? A nobody!
The storm is brewing, and the entire hotpot-producing city is currently in this state.
Although Qin Shan's actions prevented the area from self-destructing like he did in his previous life, the Zerg invasion still shattered the peace. Areas with Abyss Gates naturally had to be completely isolated, sealed off in layers, with numerous radars and detectors deployed in the surrounding area. This was a complete blockade from the inside out, even considering the underground, all to prevent the Zerg from escaping from underground.
Does this look familiar? That's right, this scene has played out in many places around the world.
You might be next.
Unless you can make the most important decision of your life.
Prove to everyone that you're not a piece of shit.
Become a fill-in-the-blank baby!
The above is a recruitment video by Zesheng. Meanwhile, recruitment efforts in Ukraine are still in full swing.
When the superhumans in power armor descended from the sky, their appearance did indeed resemble the freeze-dried cape of the Jedi.
I can't speak for anything else, but he's definitely handsome enough. Whether he's strong or not is a matter of the version, but whether he's handsome or not is a matter for a lifetime.
The ensuing battles were far from smooth sailing; in fact, they were a complete mess.
These students came from all over the country and were forcibly brought together because of the talent of an extraordinary individual. However, the problem is that even among the extraordinary individuals, there are scholars who are not suitable for combat. You can't use researchers as a psionic think tank. The only result will be that they will be evenly smeared into QR codes by the enemy on the battlefield.
At first, equipped with advanced weapons, they were indeed very excited and charged forward with great fanfare. However, when they discovered that their equipment was not absolutely invincible, they all began to run back in a panic.
Someone was so scared they peed their pants!
However, this kind of real combat environment is the best for training people. Some people can quickly adapt to the battlefield and become Khorne's chosen ones, wielding various cold and hot weapons and fighting swarms of insects for three hundred rounds before being pinned to the ground.
Who can blame them for having so many? Even if Qin Shan released mostly worker bees, there's no guarantee that one or two combat units wouldn't be mixed in. These are all superhuman insects, born weapons of war, existing solely to kill other creatures. They are born to fight and dedicate their entire lives to the battlefield.
True craftsmanship: the specialized division of labor within a swarm; I've dedicated my life to this industry.
The true spirit of craftsmanship: No matter what mistakes you've made, just bow and that's it, then pretend nothing happened.
Fortunately, Fairy Yunmeng kept a close eye on things, preventing the worst-case scenario from happening. As for the performance of these people, it didn't matter; it would be broadcast live worldwide, which would also help to dispel the myth surrounding the superhuman group.
Don't think that becoming a superhuman means you can do whatever you want. If your heart isn't strong enough, even if you become a superman, you'll still be a nobody.
Qin Shan deeply understands this point. If he were to say what great achievements he has made as an extraordinary person, he would say that he has already surpassed 90% of his peers by not wetting his pants or losing his mind when he first went to the battlefield.
The first day's live stream blew the world away. Superhumans? That's it?
"No way, is this how superhumans perform?"
"What's the difference between this and an ordinary person going to war? They're both scared to death."
"If it weren't for the powered armor covering them, wouldn't we be able to see them wetting their pants by now?"
"Don't talk nonsense, they have diapers."
"Be very careful, you are the hope of the global village."
"I also want to be a superhuman, and I promise I'll be much stronger than them."
In the live stream room of Golden Eye Network, all sorts of comments made the students of the Extraordinary Academy feel embarrassed. They thought that after becoming extraordinary, they could be like an ancient general who could charge in and out seven times, but they were almost stuffed into puffs by insects on the spot.
"Now you understand, right? Without strong mental support, the physical strength of superhumans only turns ordinary people into ordinary people who can bully ordinary people. Reflect on yourselves and remember this lesson."
The Cloud Dream Fairy's admonition deflated all these chosen ones, but there were exceptions.
There is no shortage of outstanding talents in any era, but they lack a stage to showcase themselves. Some people can only be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and some can be killed by grenades in the rear. But some people can become war gods even if they have never touched a gun before, even if they are suffering from malaria.
People's physical condition cannot be generalized. A sports student can speed for hundreds of miles with a mere fatal injury, while an ordinary person will scream like Tom the cat if they are stuck in a thorn.
The performance of these people was naturally noticed by the bigwigs in the first three rows, who were also selecting suitable successors.
The future world will inevitably belong to these extraordinary individuals, because comprehensive tests have shown that extraordinary individuals completely outclass ordinary people, from their mental abilities to their physical abilities. If a child is born an extraordinary individual, then under the standard of exam-oriented education, he can take the college entrance examination at the age of ten. Apart from humanities subjects, which are highly subjective, if he doesn't get full marks in math, physics, and chemistry, it must be because the teacher put unsolved mysteries of academia on the exam paper.
By the standards of talent, the minds of extraordinary individuals are all capable of sitting next to Einstein and taking a picture.
Of course, lower-level superhumans cannot be so outrageous at the brain level, but higher-level superhumans can.
Qin Shan himself is the best example. He can remember anything technical after seeing it once and master it completely after practicing it once. He is a super industrial machine. The only thing limiting his performance now is the number of reliable people he can deploy, not his lack of technical knowledge.
In his previous life, when he was a high-level superhuman, he personally compiled many related teaching materials.
Therefore, any ruler with a modicum of intelligence knows that their era is over. If they do not want their country to fall behind the times, or for their faction and people to be completely eliminated, it is important to hold onto these extraordinary individuals.
It is foreseeable that once these extraordinary individuals truly enter society, they will be sought after by countless people.
You can say those in power are bad, but they are definitely not stupid.
After experiencing a harsh lesson from reality, the superhumans at Changbai Mountain Academy became noticeably clearer-headed. They started to team up and cooperate in battles, making extensive use of advanced weapons and equipment instead of relying solely on their own gear to wreak havoc. A certain tacit understanding was thus cultivated.
Similarly, among these people emerged alpha wolves who could lead them, but there were also a few lone wolves who went their own way. In any case, they all grew up and became qualified warriors.
This is only the first step. The awakening of extraordinary individuals requires opportunity, but whether one can become an extraordinary individual in war depends on personal effort. The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on the individual.
Thanks to the activity of the hundred superhuman trainees, the defensive pressure in some areas of the mountain city defense line has clearly decreased. The superhuman three-on-three squads that can form teams to fight efficiently and flexibly are indeed able to achieve the effect of one against a thousand.
The scene of powered armor paired with a chainsaw sword is especially thrilling.
That's no ordinary chainsaw. Normally, a chainsaw can't be used as a weapon; at most, it can only be used to saw wood. But the superhuman power added to it solves this problem, making the chainsaw sword a truly terrifying killing weapon, and giving it unreasonable capriciousness and sturdiness.
Things suddenly became loyal.
It's not surprising. The various enhancements and buffs of supernatural power are also important research topics in the supernatural technology system. Theoretically, as long as the supernatural power you inject is strong enough and the object can withstand it, it's not a problem to use a stone to create the effect of a nuclear bomb.
Watching those superhumans wielding chainsaws in bloody battle, the PLA soldiers behind them were also filled with patriotic fervor.
But they knew they couldn't do that at all, so they could only pull the trigger from their rear defensive positions and greet the bugs that wanted to ambush the hero with all kinds of large-caliber bullets.
It was indeed a large-caliber bullet; in fact, small-caliber rifles were phased out in just six months.
There was no other way; even the chitinous shell of the worker bee rendered the 5.8mm armor-piercing rounds ineffective, and the 7.62mm rounds were far more convincing. As a result, the entire army quickly switched to the 7.62mm caliber Type 191 assault rifles within just six months, and was also equipped with a large number of sniper grenade launchers and mortars, as well as various calibers and versions of incendiary rounds, including armor-piercing incendiary rounds.
This stuff works best on insects; let the flames purify everything.
Many flamethrowers were even moved to the front lines, spraying the insect swarms as soon as they entered within fifty meters, filling the entire mountain town with the aroma of hot pot, the kind that could be opened as soon as you sprinkle some numbing spice.
Do not underestimate the adaptability of modern armies, nor should you underestimate the industrial capacity of the Celestial Empire. In fact, once the Celestial Empire began to mobilize resources and forces to the mountain city, the number of shells fired every day could wipe out the US military's annual budget.
But for China, this is just a small part of the picture. With a complete industrial system, it can be willful. And this kind of controllable war has stimulated production, causing many military industries to start to emerge. In any case, China is the world's first industrial power with a billion-ton steel output. How much steel did the US military produce during World War II? If they threw half of that steel at the invading insect swarm, it would be enough to kill them.
In reality, we can't even use half of it, not even one percent. Don't forget we still have a lot of ammunition in stock.
Even the stockpiles from our grandfathers' generation can be used up now. Use them however you like, smash them however you want. After all, ammunition has to be scrapped periodically after it's produced. Instead of going through the trouble of scrapping it, we might as well use it to consume the enemy's lives and let the enemy use their bodies to scrap these weapons and ammunition for us.
Moreover, there is another benefit to China entering this state of covert warfare: neighboring countries have become particularly docile.
On the one hand, the US is now lacking energy because of its internal problems, which have caused trouble all over the world. On the other hand, it is only because of the terrifying firepower of China in Chongqing that neighboring countries have been reminded of the terror of China as a superior nation.
If I were the one taking the hit from a shell of the same size...
The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. And so far, China is the only country to have faced the Abyss Gate twice in a row, successfully resisting once. The Fairy Yunmeng even said that the Abyss Gate phenomenon will randomly appear all over the world in the future, and all countries will face challenges. Look at the behavior of other countries, and then look at China. When their lives are threatened, who do they need to rely on? Do they really expect the US, whose domestic situation is already in chaos, to protect them?
Don't be ridiculous. The city upon the hills of Anssa doesn't tolerate dogs. You can kneel devoutly at their door, but it won't do you any good. Even if you marry an American banker at the Temple of Heaven, it won't work. In their eyes, you're just a dog. And if you're a dog, then when you're worthless, you'll only be eaten. Please know your place.
