338 The Final Defense Test!

The first test would measure explosive force. The test field utilized the Wingate anaerobic test method, which was recognized by the military to accurately measure the explosive force of each muscle group.

However, since the measurements relied on professional equipment, it was not popularized in test fields of second-tier cities and below.

Lone Wolf, who was wearing the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, quickly completed a set of standard tests, and the results were obvious. Compared with his initial set of data, there was an improvement of nearly 30%.

The following measurements were also carried out steadily, but it was not as visually jarring as the first half.

It was not until the final defense test that everyone was fully alert.

This was because in all eight tests, most of them compared two sets of the user’s data to accurately measure the exoskeleton armor’s amplification.

Only the final test of defense would involve the gear itself.

According to the management, the equipment or gear would be worn by a cement mannequin, and the staff would strike the equipment several times until the internal cement was subjected to an impact factor greater than the standard value. Then, the test would stop.

In the Nine Provinces, there was also a strict standard for an equipment’s defensive power.

Equipment that could defend against a Type 19 domestic rifle was the standard for Rare equipment.

Only equipment that could defend against the attack of a Tier 2 Magic Crystal Cannon would be considered as excellent equipment.

Spirit energy shock waves and heavenly rain of fire bullets corresponded to Epic and Legendary-grade equipment respectively.

As for higher-level defense tests, they could only be conducted in the military headquarters.

Most blacksmiths had a rough understanding of these test rules when they were students.

The staff on the scene also explained the dangers of the test to Lone Wolf. It was best to let the mannequin wear the gear for the test.

After all, fire and water were merciless. If they accidentally hurt Lone Wolf, they would not be able to answer to the military.

Yet, Lone Wolf, who had already tasted sweetness, was not willing to take off the gear so easily. No matter how he was persuaded, he remained adamant about wearing the gear and undergoing the defense test.

As such, several staff members were so worried that their hair almost turned white.

The deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, also stared at him with a bitter face. He was at a loss for words.

“Forget it. We’ll do as Lone Wolf says. He has extremely solid combat experience, and he’s willing to believe that this Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear can protect him. So, what are we worried about?”

Elder Huang noticed that they were not making any progress with the test, so he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.

First, he believed in Lone Wolf’s judgment. Second, the previous test had already proven the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s excellent performance. There would definitely be no problem with the current defense test.

Finally, after Elder Huang spoke, the few staff members had no choice but to compromise. They immediately began to adjust the equipment and prepare for the test.

Near the resting area, Wu Mo saw how much Lone Wolf believed in the gear he had developed and saw how he resolutely chose to test it with his own body on the line.

He could not help but smile.

True brothers did not need to brag and make empty promises at a bar. Little acts in their everyday life were enough.

Wu Mo was highly confident that the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear would meet the legendary standards of the defense test too.

A month ago, during the initial stages of research and development, he had spent nearly two weeks researching new alloys just for the exoskeleton armor.

It was for the sake of high protection and lightness.

High molecular polyethylene was often used in the military to make bulletproof helmets and shields.

After fusing it with metal, its defensive capabilities multiplied by several times.

He was confident that even if he was struck once by a seven-star cultivator, the surface of the armor would not be damaged.

The defense test was about to begin, and Wu Mo, as well as the crowd, waited in anticipation as it was being prepared.

Lone Wolf had already put on the impact force equipment for test and walked into the enclosed area that was surrounded by a Tier 3 defense array.

The array around the defense test area had been drawn by two seven-star master blacksmiths whom Elder Huang had invited when the laboratory was first built.

It was just that when the armory was first established, the material warehouse had constraints. Otherwise, they would have been more than capable of drawing a Tier 4 defensive array with their abilities.

Even so, the Tier 3 defensive array in the room had an extremely strong defensive power. At least, there had never been any problems with testing the defensive power of Legendary-grade equipment and below.

“Let’s begin, I’m ready.”

Looking at the rifle’s muzzle sticking out from the gap of the bulletproof glass, Lone Wolf stood straight and spoke with confidence.

A middle-aged tester in the periphery nodded. Then, he immediately held his breath and focused, aiming the rifle at Lone Wolf’s chest.

Type 19 rifles were standard equipment of the defense forces in the major cities. It was no problem for them to deal with ordinary criminals and even weaker cultivators.

The kinetic energy of a rifle’s muzzle exceeded 80 joules, and it could easily penetrate human bones. It could even penetrate non-professional bulletproof vests. It was the best choice to test Rare-grade equipment.

After all, the existence of guns made sure that an ordinary person’s combat ability was close to that of a cultivator.

If the equipment tested could not even defend against a gun, it was not worthy of being classified as spirit energy equipment!

Soon, everything was ready. Before everyone’s gaze, the staff pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

Even with the silencers, the moment the rifle was fired, they could hear a muffled sound in the test field.

At the same time, a special armor-piercing bullet shot out of the muzzle like lightning and instantly hit the light gray exoskeleton armor on Lone Wolf’s chest.

Dang!

The sound of a bullet bouncing echoed.

Lone Wolf lowered his head and looked down with a serious expression.

There were no marks left on the spot where the bullet had hit the exoskeleton armor, not even a scratch.

The bullet appeared to be as light as a cotton ball.

If it had not been for the fact that he was focused, Lone Wolf would not have even felt the impact.

“The impact force of the rifle’s armor-piercing bullet is 0.7 Pa. The gear meets the standard for Rare grade.”

The staff member looked at the number on the meter and immediately reported the test results.

“Amazing, 0.7 Pa. I’m afraid even a quail egg wouldn’t break with such protection.”

“From the initial test, we can see that this large-scale device will at least have Epic-grade defense.”

“Maybe it has Legendary-grade defense. You’ve all seen it in the previous tests. You can’t measure that device with the ordinary knowledge you have!”

After they witnessed the results, a few senior researchers immediately started discussing with excitement.

They were all looking forward to seeing if the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear developed by Wu Mo could reach Legendary-grade defensive power.

“Continue the testing. Prepare the Magic Crystal Cannon.”

A male staff member took out the rifle and immediately walked toward the warehouse.

The girl took over the job and began to operate the instrument, aiming the Magic Crystal Cannon mounted on the ceiling at Lone Wolf below.
