Visiting the Factory
” Right, in order to be able to fight in the lunar environment, we have improved the kinetic skeleton.”
“Look, outside the exoskeleton, we put on a layer of spacesuit-level protective clothing.”
“These protective suits are made of mutated plant fibers. They are thinner than ordinary spacesuits and can isolate high and low temperatures.”
” Also, you have to wear a helmet and a mask when you reach the moon.”
” Because it involves combat, the strength requirement of the mask is very high. Fortunately, Area 51 provided us with the method to make high-strength transparent materials.”
“Next is the most important thing!”
” The kinetic skeleton’s power engine!”
“In the past, our kinetic skeletons were driven by the user’s strength. It’s different now.”
” Look, we’ve placed a small extraterrestrial engine on the chest of the kinetic skeleton.”
“Doesn’t it look like the thing on Iron Man’s chest?”
Lin Shuang pointed at one of the kinetic skeletons that was almost assembled.
“Ah! Really!”
Tang Tang’s eyes lit up.
“This thing can produce a very powerful power output.”
“In the past, when we wore kinetic skeletons, we could only increase our strength by one to two levels. Now, we can go straight to level three!”
“More importantly…”
” This engine, together with the propeller built into the kinetic skeleton, can automatically help our soldiers adjust the gravity on the moon.”
” Think about it. If you guys are like the astronauts in science fiction movies who have to float for half a day with every step, how are you going to fight?”
Lin Shuang said with a smile.
“This is really not bad!”
Wang Ran nodded.
Gravity was something that was easier to deal with if it was heavier than Earth, but it was a pain in the ass if it was lighter than Earth.
He might not even be able to land even if he jumped up for a minute…
The modification of the kinetic skeleton was indeed very useful.
“These were all designed by the people from Area 51.”
” They’re in the factory that makes spaceships now. Wang Ran, do you want to go and take a look?”
Lin Shuang asked.
“Sure, I didn’t expect them to be of such use. I’ll go and say hello then.”
Wang Ran and Tang Tang followed Lin Shuang to the other factory.
Along the way, everyone was working hard in the factories.
Obviously, they all wanted to do their part to protect Earth.
Soon, Wang Ran arrived at the factory where the spaceship parts were made.
In the factory, the head of the team, Colonel Robson, was fiddling with the outer shell of the engine.
“Hey, Mr. Wang Ran, you’re here!”
Robison put down the equipment in his hands and walked over.
His face was stained with oil, and he was as black as a coal miner.
“Looks like you adapted quite quickly!”
Wang Ran said with a smile.
“Ah, the production environment here is really too good. The production efficiency is much higher than that of the US.”
“I feel that the production progress can be accelerated by more than 20%.”
Robson was very satisfied with the place.
This place was not like the United States. Out of the eight hours of work in the United States, at least four hours were spent slacking. The efficiency was so low that it made people speechless.
Here, 12 hours of high-quality work a day was the norm.
The soldiers and technicians that Robison brought were all infected by the working atmosphere here and were full of energy.
“That’s great.”
“I can’t help you with this. I’ll have to rely on you.”
Wang Ran said very sincerely.
” Don’t worry. If we don’t do this well, the Earth will be finished!”
“We will definitely risk our lives to do it.”
Robison patted his chest.
” You see, your country’s original manned spacecraft technology is very good.”
“We just need to find a way to strengthen the external structure and then adapt the engine.”
” Basically, give me another half a month and the spaceship can start mass production.”
” Each ship can carry four people. There are a total of 250 ships.”
“I can guarantee that 100 ships will definitely be a problem! As for the other 150 ships, as long as nothing special happens during the process, there should be no problem.”
Robson calculated carefully.
After all, the construction period was rather urgent this time. If anything happened midway, they had to ensure the production of at least 100 spaceships.
” It’s fine. Just try your best. If you really can’t make it in time, 100 ships will do.”
“At most, I’ll work harder.”
Wang Ran thought about it. If there were fewer people, then he could only put in more effort on his strength.
To increase his strength… Of course, he could only work hard on himself.
“Alright, I won’t disturb your work anymore.”
“I’ll be leaving first.”
Wang Ran shook hands with Robin and walked out of the factory.
“Wang Ran, let me take you to other places!”
Lin Shuang’s lips curled up slightly. No one knew what she was up to.
“Sure.”
” It’s a good opportunity to see if there’s anything in Bei Du that N City can learn and improve on.”
Wang Ran readily agreed.
Lin Shuang drove the car toward the Fourth Ring Road with Wang Ran and Tang Tang.
There was no traffic jam in Bei Du after the apocalypse.
Soon, Lin Shuang’s car arrived at a campsite.
In the camp, hundreds of female soldiers were wearing tight military green vests and camouflage pants, training in the sand.
Lin Shuang brought Wang Ran and Tang Tang out of the car.
When the female warriors saw Wang Ran, they stopped what they were doing.
“Ah! Is that Wang Ran?”
“It looks quite comfortable!”
“Captain Lin said that with him…Is it true?”
“Nonsense! Of course it’s true!”
” Look at Colonel Lin Shuang. She was only a level-five Awakened a month ago, but she’s already a level-nine Awakened after following Wang Ran for a short while.”
“Yeah, it’s said that even Captain Lin isn’t her opponent!”
“Ah, I also want to increase my strength!”
“Unfortunately, the higher-ups said that there are only 50 spots. You can’t be chosen just because you want to go.”
“Aiya, Brother Wang Ran is so charming. Even if I can’t increase my strength, I’m willing!”
” You slut, there are no men in the military camp, so you can’t control yourself!”
“Aiya, don’t poke my chest…”
The female warriors laughed and laughed.
“Enough! What are you all thinking?”
“Get into formation and train well!”
The female instructor shouted.
The female warriors could only obediently line up.
At this moment, the female instructor also glanced at Wang Ran and blushed.
As an instructor, he wondered if he would have a chance…
” Wang Ran, these are the 500 most talented female warriors in Bei Du!”
“My dad said that you have to bring 50 people out.”
Lin Shuang said as she held back her laughter.
“Ah, this…”
Wang Ran instantly understood Lin Shuang’s intention.
Although Wang Ran was already mentally prepared when Lin Liye mentioned it previously, his legs still went weak when he saw these female warriors with his own eyes…
