I'm the King Of Technology

1689 The Future Is Bright



Landon and the others had already stepped forward, allowing the people in lab coats to suit them up. 

"Fleet Admiral Gary, imagine the suits as a mummy coffin that opens and closes from the back."

One of the research scientists said while guiding Gary. 

And soon, a clicking sound went off on Gary's back, indicating he was sealed into his Gundam suit.

To be honest it looked like a mix between Buzz Lightyear and Iron Man's suit. 

It was also very fitting and too similar to sci-fi mecha. 

Once the suit opens from the back, one just needs to step forward and place their hands where the suit's hands are. 

The Suit automatically detects if their head, hands and feet are in the right position before sealing up as though there is a zip behind the suit.

In this case, the inner seals close them up like a cocoon and will only release them once they want to leave the mech.

After being sealed, Gary clenched his fists and released them severally to test the response. Garty's suit was a cool green camouflage color that could make him look like a chameleon in the wild. 

Following that, he lifted his feet, which in turn lifted the mecha legs. After wearing the suit, his height had increased by only a few inches. The suit wasn't some big chunky item but was slimming like Iron Man's getup 

"Amazing! It feels so light. I feel like my usual self." Gary commented, doing squats, though he found he squat far lower in the mecha. 

"That's because the suit is designed to become one with its wearer."

It's like being in a car. You aren't the engine driving the car forwards. There are many micro and advanced technologies in there that drive the mech forward.

The wearer is like the person turning the steering wheel, only with Alien technology, steering the mechanism was far smoother than steering a vehicle.

It almost came naturally to them.

Josh looked at his smooth blue shield arms, before finding the communication board on his left hand. 

To say his heart was beating fast would be a lie. 

Just like their precious shield armor, one needed to press down the upper later to open the communication board like Buzz Lightyear. 

There, he found their typically inbuilt frequency walkie-talkie dial. There were buttons for pepper spray and Tasers.

There were also safety buttons like Eject and detonation modes.

Should a person feel the suit will be taken by an enemy, they could choose the detonation mode and a countdown will begin. 

The countdown is 40 seconds, so they better Eject themselves out of the suit fast. 

"Eh? The eject mode 2 sub modes we can choose from?" Trey exclaimed, taken aback by the new changes.

"Yes," Watson confirmed. Underneath it, you can choose a parachute or bubble. Note that for any reason whatsoever... 1 minute after ejection, the self-detonation mode will commence... To stop it, you must use your special watches to cancel the self-detonation mode if you still think you can use your mecha."

.

Yes. 

There were many protocols in place to ensure the enemy didn't get the mecha.

Mind you that ejection wasn't the same as the OFF button. 

The off button simply opened one's suit like a cocoon, allowing them to store their mecha back again. 

Ejection was for serious cases like knowing your mecha was badly injured with no hope. 

If in the air, you can choose a parachute mood that will eject you with a parachute strapped on you that will open upon release.

If you're at a height where parachutes would be deemed useless, the bubble machanism was the best, creating a thick bubble around you, like Firefighters catching falling victims with their inflated beds…. Only this one was a sphere that would keep you safe from impact. 

It was also floatable should you land in a river, lake or large water body. 

What sort of advanced technology was this? Some people even pinched themselves trying to see if they were dreaming. 

As for the watch Watson spoke of, it was a simple watch with a tracker that allows one to search for their suits.

The tracker shows no maps, just 2 dots glowing red the further they are from each other. 

The device won't know if there is a river dividing both parties or even a vast canyon. 

All it can do is estimate the distance and work like a compass pointing the way. 

After all, there were no GPS satellites up yet. So you can just forget about it. 

The only things that worked out in the open world out of Baymard were radio frequencies.

The watch had several buttons on its side too for canceling detonations and sending help signals to any nearby mech wearers. 

At least everyone will know your position and come to your rescue if you really need help.

What was even more amazing was that the watch also had a self-detonation bottom of its own too, which isn't easy to press since it's underneath a small protective case.

One would need a tiny twig or something sharp to push the button down and destroy the watch. 

Hey... they took great pains to ensure the enemy would never touch their Mech. 

Lastly, if someone should find their Mecha after ejection, you won't be able to wear it without inputting its 6-digit pin code. 

Every mecha has a unique 6-digit code that wearers must remember if they want to take it out for missions.

You must burn the pin code in your head and input here was another important matter.

Sometimes the code will have special symbols like # and ×. 

It was a tedious thing for the scientists to configure every single mecha, but very necessary. 

Should you input the code wrongly more than thrice, the suit automatically goes into detonation mode with no questions asked. 

Detonation, detonation, detonation... Those were words they heard every little step of the way. 

(^■^)

This satisfied the ministers and military personnel who would rather the mecha never leave Baymardian than fall into enemy hands.

Good guy!

You all deserve bonuses! 

Sure enough, the future was bright... brighter than they could eveever imagine now that they had mechas!

.

Heheheheheheh-

Watson smiled victoriously. "The mecha is made with the latest technology and materials, as we used enhanced metal to form its outer protective shells."

The current shields were stronger than any metal shields in existence. 

Even their former ultra-high-molecular weight Ballistic shields and armor were nowhere near the potential of these. 

Their armors, just like these Gundam mechas, were made from Kevlar, Steel and Polyethene. 

But the difference was that these were the 60% metal-enhanced versions.

A bus can run into these suits and get damaged instead. 

His Majesty said that after a while, all buildings must be done with advanced steel and building materials.

It would be great if they could last longer.

Again, what was amazing was that these suits could pack a crazy punch force but weighed very small compared to what they could do.

Mechas were basically moving tanks.

The current Mecha also had the option to release high fiber ropes with hooks on the ends for spy climbing over major walls and whatnot

 As for firearms, none had built-in systems for that yet. His Majesty didn't wish for them to be included for now. 

Their primary role was to act as armor... the kind of armor that would leave no soldier dead.

If Watson had to use their old metal quality and percentage to build mechas, it would've been so bulky like a car since one would need a lot of steel to carry its many features.

With this 60% quality improvement, he found they could create compact steel that could take on a far heavier burden than ordinary steel could do. 

What's more, it could also heat up or cool down the wearers depending on whether they were in a hot cooling region or a cold Iceland. 

Mark frowned. "So how long does it take for its juice to run out?"

"Good question! If the mecha was a weapon shooting one that released missiles and fire-blasts, it might take 10~15 hours for it to get low on juice. But it's mainly an armor now and would take 72 hours when fully charged."

Everyone nodded, satisfied with the answer. 

"Mind you... you don't have to wait for it to drain before charging since it has built-in air panels in it. Your shoulder blades, upper arms and upper backs may look cool but they are disguised solar panels. We also have charging vehicles that use the power of the wind to generate electricity."

Really? 

So that means they might never truly run dry of juice in warmer places and colder places. 

You would be amazed by just how crazy the winds in colder seasons get.

.

"Before we get to the matter of flying, we must carry out several final tests. All testers please jump!"

Jump?

Gary stared at the very high ceilings, wondering if he could touch them. The ceiling was as tall as a 3 stories high in this dome-shaped space. 

Should he go for it?
