I Want You to Create a Handgun but You Give Me a Mechanical Armor Instead

Just as Rayen was about to be pulled away, he became even more courageous and shouted again, “Sir! Please let me try! If it doesn’t work, just shoot me!”

Rayen’s guarantee once again shocked everyone!

No one had expected that this recruit would actually have such guts!

He actually dared to use his life as a stake!

Battalion Commander Li stared at Rayen’s confident face and realized that this guy was not joking. He was considering it in his mind.

Rayen’s confidence naturally came from the power that the God of War had bestowed upon him!

There was no longer any secret to the current Atlantean armor against him.

If he had the Atlantean crystal, he would only need two weeks to create armor that was almost the same.

At this moment, Steven was struggling in his heart. He was not willing to let his subordinates suffer the punishment of military law. Moreover, the war was still ongoing. Any soldier’s injury would be detrimental to the corps.

Therefore, he deliberately slowed down his pace. It was obvious that he was giving his commanding officer time to make a decision. He hoped that the other party would consider it carefully.

Steven knew his commanding officer very well. It had only been a while before Battalion Commander Li said, “Private, do you know that you have to be responsible for what you say? If you can’t prove that your value is higher than a bullet, then I’ll cut your throat with a dagger!” This Battalion Commander’s words clearly left some leeway.

Seeing that the commanding officer had relented, Rayen immediately went forward, and tiptoed in his military boots. “If I can’t do it, I don’t mind even if the commanding officer beats me to death with a whip!”

“Hehe, you really dare to say that…” Battalion Commander Li waved his hand at him. “Come over, follow me to the control panel.”

Under the surprised gazes of the veterans and the uneasy gazes of the recruits, Rayen quickly followed.

After coming to the control panel, Battalion Commander Li still looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Tell me what you think. Don’t play tricks.”

Rayen smiled bitterly in his heart as he said, “Sir, I’ve discovered that the armors of the soldiers of the Atlantean Kingdom can’t be completely conquered with the materials we have now. Therefore, I think it’s better to change our thinking. We can also make brand new armor for the corps. This way, we can make up for the disadvantage in our defense and we would no longer be at a disadvantage in close combat. Moreover, with our advantages, which is firepower, we have a chance of winning!”

“Oh?” Battalion Commander Li looked a little surprised.

He did not expect this recruit to come up with such a strange idea.

After lighting a cigarette, he began to think.

The situation between the two armies was just as Rayen had said. Although the weapons of the soldiers of the Atlantean Kingdom were high-tech, they were no match for the Vulture Corps in terms of firepower.

Most of the time, they only relied on their terrifying defense to charge over and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

However, if their own soldiers had decent armor defense and well-coordinated fortifications, they would be able to slow down the enemy’s charge.

As long as they did not lose out in a short period of time, the cannons and other shooting posts at the back would be able to display their strengths and have the chance to nail down the charging army!

Battalion Commander Li could not help but think, ‘Increasing our defense means that we have corrected our disadvantage. Even if the armor we create only has half the defensive power of the Atlantean armor, the longer we fight on the battlefield, the greater our advantage in firepower will be to suppress the opponent’s constant consumption of stamina. This brat has indeed thought of a pretty good choice.’

However, his face was still full of doubts. “You say it nicely, but our corps doesn’t have such powerful defensive technology. The armor on our combat suits is almost the same as decorations against their sharp weapons. Moreover, to make armor, our dark steel and other materials are not enough to arm tens of thousands of people.”

Rayen, who already had a complete plan, had long guessed that the other party would say this. The private immediately took out a small piece of dark steel from his chest pocket, then he said, “Sir, I have a way to make many sets of mechanical exoskeletons based on dark steel. The cost of the materials is not high.”

“Mechanical exoskeleton?!” Li Wei’s pupils dilated slightly.

Rayen continued and said, “Yes! It can also be said to be a simple mech! Not only can it increase our defensive power, but it can also increase the physical strength of the soldiers. It can add a layer of insurance for close combat!”

As he spoke, he handed the blueprint in his hand to Battalion Commander Li.

When he saw the detailed appearance of the mechanical exoskeleton on the blueprint, Battalion Commander Li was really starting to be interested.

From the blueprint that Rayen designed, it could be seen that the limbs and vital parts of a soldier were all wrapped up by mechanical armor that could fit the size of the soldier. The armor on every part of the soldier was connected to a power line.

The power line extended from the waist of the human body to the core device on the back.

It looked quite cool, but more importantly, the parameters given in the blueprints were even better!

As long as the soldiers wore this set of mecha, their defense would be improved by a lot.

Staff Sergeant Steven, other officers, and veterans also came over. When they saw the blueprint, they were all very surprised.

“Wow, this thing is so cool!”

“It looks like a robot warrior.”

“Why can’t your design cover the warrior’s whole body? Isn’t that safer?”

Rayen shrugged and said, “Officers, we only have a dozen days, so we don’t have time to produce full body armor. You also said that we don’t have that many materials, so this is a simplified version!”

Nick looked unconvinced and asked, “Have you been kicked by a horse’s hoof? Everyone knows how heavy dark steel is. How heavy would a person be when wearing this thing?”

Although his words were slightly vicious, the question was correct.

Although dark steel was hard, it was too heavy, and it would seriously affect the movement of the soldiers.

Everyone had already started to imagine whether the soldiers would walk in slow motion like in the movies after wearing this thing.

Without waiting for Battalion Commander Li to speak again, Rayen immediately said, “Officers, the Battalion Commander said just now that there aren’t that many materials in the warehouse. Hence, the situation that you’re worried about won’t happen. Dark steel doesn’t make up a high proportion of the composition of the armor. Most of the armor still relies on technological metals. The soldiers will only be able to reduce their speed by around 15% at most. The core device behind the warriors can control the limbs according to their own thinking. Normal AI technology can do it! Then, just add a special concentrated battery to the core device, and it will be a success!”

Battalion Commander Li immediately turned his head to look at the squad leader of the AI class. He was using his eyes to ask the other party if Rayen’s technical concept was feasible.

The Sergeant Squad Leader of the AI class thought for a moment before saying, “If it’s a simple physical attack and defense command, we can create a system in three days to coordinate with this set of simple mecha!”
