For these bullets lacking kinetic energy, hitting the titanium-tungsten alloy armor doesn’t even scratch the coating. Even the hidden white phosphorus warheads or ERP release devices are useless against Lin Miao. The seemingly fragile jumpsuit is made of titanium-based materials, with a layer of fluid gel and active fluid metal beneath it. Unless you’re firing an anti-materiel weapon directly, ordinary bullets are completely ineffective.
And this battle was also witnessed by many, and those with the capability have already started analyzing Lin Miao’s power armor as a sample.
Metris frowned deeply: "Has the performance analysis of this equipment been completed? How does it compare to our newly launched Ranger Type V?"
The analyst beside him was still dissecting the footage frame by frame.
"Currently, this power armor appears slightly more maneuverable than the Ranger, with a speed of about 45 kilometers per hour. It seems capable of continuously compressing gas through its own movements and releasing it to balance the body and mitigate impacts. Achieving such a coordinated effect is difficult with just brain calculations, unless it has a hacker inside, or there’s an AI assistance system."
"The opponent’s waist and back seem to have magnetic mounts specifically for weapon placement, yet its defensive capability is unclear. Judging by their evasive actions, it might not be as good as the Ranger’s. The energy system is likely located at the protrusions on either side of the rear shoulders, which are probably battery installation sites."
"Moreover, it doesn’t have obvious weapon systems, likely relying only on external equipment. On a frontal battlefield, it probably would not be a match for the Ranger, and the drive battery’s size likely cannot carry too much fixed armament..."
In the current military market, power armor soldiers handle not only frontline assault and behind-enemy-lines decapitation tasks, but also a portion of firepower delivery. They’re almost on par with tanks, which is why it’s common to equip power armor with mini-missiles or a 40mm caliber cannon on its arm.
The power armor Lin Miao is wearing, even among the currently trendy power armors, seems rather small for a light power armor.
Insufficient firepower... surplus maneuverability, possessing substantial agility...
Metris nodded, unexpectedly delighted by this surprise today.
"Upload the data to the weapons development department for further analysis."
Submitting the data also counts as an average achievement.
However, in reality, this equipment’s stats are even higher than they assumed. Lin Miao intentionally didn’t want to expose too much, so he reduced the output to eighty percent of the original, a move that left him narrowly escaping in a three-person assault, often nearly being cut in half by high-frequency military knives. His Salada had also run out of bullets long ago, used by Lin Miao as a melee weapon against attackers.
But despite appearing to be forced into retreat by the three, he was actually maneuvering with ease.
Military technology can use AI to analyze Lin Miao’s power armor, so why couldn’t Lin Miao use AI to analyze the moves of the three in front of him?
The system’s supercalculating power isn’t just for viewing.
Their movement habits, reaction speeds, and tendencies to wield military knives were continuously analyzed as data, feeding them into the system, and then simulating the opponent’s next possible moves for Lin Miao—this is why he didn’t want to engage initially.
He hoped that players would draw out more data on enemy power armor, making it safer for him to engage in battle later on. Although it might seem like he’s exploiting the players a bit, isn’t it still in the event? There will be compensations afterward.
Faced with Lin Miao, the three power armor soldiers felt increasingly stifled.
The sword missed him by just a bit, the fist barely grazed him.
Every time, it was just a little off.
Precisely just that bit.
The opponent seemed to have fully understood their tactics, giving them the sensation of punching air. The turbulent air currents gave them no chance to hit, yet it seemed like just a bit more force would land a strike.
They thought it was a PVP.
In reality, it was a PVE.
Your opponent is AlphaGo, and you’re just a fringe professional player boasting on a streaming channel.
To outsiders, this isn’t the power of the armor itself—it’s the unexpected performance from the driver’s excellent operation, likewise concluded by the AI.
Because the same thing happened over fifty years ago. Reiser Qianye, then ranked sixth on Night City’s lone wolf leaderboard, wearing an early model of jacksuit, could break into a Crow Micro-Control facility solo to make an abduction. Even several power armors more advanced than his couldn’t stop him.
As they say, a Yaxia piloting a Zaku can still give the Gundam’s Amuro a hard time.
After pulling back, one power armor soldier couldn’t bear it any longer. He activated Sianweistan and charged forward, determined to catch this slippery rat in this 0.2 seconds. However, this was the very moment Lin Miao was waiting for.
Because this soldier became isolated.
In a one vs many battle, it’s crucial not to get surrounded. Move and fight, ensuring that at any short moment you’re facing as few enemies as possible.
The one rushing ahead was precisely the soldier whose arm Lin Miao frequently injured with his Salada earlier.
Furiously swinging the military knife, he aimed to split Lin Miao in two with far greater force than ever before—this time, he wouldn’t miss that bit.
Lin Miao, relying on dynamic vision to keep up with Sianweistan’s speed, coupled with Horizon’s power armor’s inherent reflexes, abruptly braked in that brief moment, reversed, and went full power. Dodging the blade, he swung a powerful sidekick to the soldier’s metal helmet, making him stagger.
But overzealous swinging of the knife threw off his balance, leaving him unable to defend, watching helplessly as Lin Miao delivered a two-kick combo onto the mechanical arm holding the knife.
Long sword fell from his grasp.
Retracting his leg, Lin Miao caught the falling sword handle and slashed horizontally at his head.
Another power armor soldier was killed.
After killing one, faced with two more rushing in, he didn’t retreat and stood his ground. With the knife in his right hand, he gestured with his left for them to come at him.
