Chapter 272 Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor
Chapter 272 Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor
With an inspiring piece of music, the cheerleaders entered the venue and performed a vigorous dance. Fireworks were set off around the venue, and then the eight teams came out from different entrances under the introduction of the host.
The Bee Cameras broadcast the images from all over to the eight screens in the center, and the faces of the team members appeared clearly on them.
Each team wore the same uniform, and the leading player held the flag of the club in his hand. He walked through the audience and after a brief interaction with the fans, he came to the center of the venue, next to the host.
After a few pleasantries and a few people staying to create atmosphere, the host asked the players who had drawn the first lot to go down and prepare first.
The mechanical fighting competition adopts a points system, with three individual matches, two double matches, and one team match. The standard is that each team must have at least five players and a maximum of seven players. But basically every team has seven players.
The fewer people there are, the less time there is for rotation and rest, which is not conducive to the recovery of people and weapons.
The two who stayed on the stage to speak were a smiling, handsome man and a young-looking boy. The contrast between the two was very obvious. One was obviously very accustomed to such occasions, communicating with the host and even making a little joke. The other was much more shy.
"That boy is a newcomer to the Big Player Club. He's only 21 years old, but he's very capable. The Big Player Club should be intentionally promoting him and want him to show up more often." Kane leaned closer to Xu Weiwei and explained to her.
"The guy next to him is the captain of 'Daydreamers', and he's not a good guy either."
Xu Weiwei took a closer look. The saying "appearance is determined by the heart" in physiognomy has a basis. In traditional Chinese medicine, "diagnosis by observation" is to observe the patient's external signs and judge the internal pathology.
The man Kane was talking about was wearing makeup, so you couldn't tell anything from his complexion, but his eyes were very obvious. The white of his eyes were red, and his conjunctiva was congested, commonly known as fire eyes, which was caused by excessive liver fire. This meant that he was not as kind as he looked, and was a person who was easily angry and easily angered. At the same time, the black of his eyes was dull, indicating that his kidney qi was deficient.
In short, Kane is right, he is not a good person.
"...Dear audience friends! I believe that everyone can't wait for this grand event to begin!" After the two went down, the host officially opened the curtain of the competition.
"The draw results have been displayed on the big screen, let's take a look! The first singles match, WA vs. Adventurer! Two old friends with equal strength! Which team member will they send out to fight? Let's count down from three, two, one, and welcome them to the stage--!!!"
Deafening cheers rang out in the stadium. The countdown ended, and the players of both teams changed into complete sets of equipment. They came out from the passage connecting their respective lounges to meet everyone.
"Wow! It's Fullmetal and Hurricane! Power type versus speed type! Which one will win? Wait, we see that Hurricane's mecha is different from previous years! Has it been upgraded or changed? Is he going to bring us a new surprise!? Let's wait and see!"
Following the host's commentary, two contestants also came onto the stage.
Xu Weiwei couldn't help but exclaimed: "So cool!"
The two men are no longer wearing simple team uniforms, but are covered with a layer of armor, similar to Metroid and Iron Man, but very different.
Mechanical exoskeleton armor, also known as powered exoskeleton, is a mechanical device made of a metal frame that can be worn by people and can provide extra energy for limb movement. For example, if a person's original muscle strength can only move 100 kilograms of things, wearing it will not be a problem to move 500 kilograms.
This is a device that was created in the last generation of Earth. After entering the interstellar age, this technology has been improved to near perfection.
Mechanical exoskeleton armor is divided into wearable and embedded types. The embedded type is more heavy and larger in size, which completely wraps the whole person inside and is suitable for fighting in the vacuum environment of the universe.
The ones used in fighting competitions are all wearable. Compared with embedded ones, wearable ones are much lighter. In addition to the metal skeleton, there are only armor plates protecting the vital parts. In other words, they look very voluminous and not dull.
The weapons of the two were also very distinctive. One was a crescent-shaped double sword, and the other was a hammer. The use of hot weapons such as guns and ammunition was prohibited in the competition, and traditional cold weapons were not enough to cause damage to the mechanical skeleton, so they used new weapons that combined cold weapons with new energy, which were in between the two, similar to the laser dagger used by Xu Weiwei.
After the whole set, just standing there is enough to make people's hearts beat fast, no wonder so many people like to watch this. It's so cool.
Who wouldn't want to wear such a set of equipment? Just thinking about it makes me feel cool. But unfortunately, the price is not affordable for ordinary people, so I can only buy a ticket.
Kane's eyes were full of yearning. No boy could resist such temptation. Unfortunately, he was not old enough. Sifos did not let him get in touch with these things too early, otherwise it would be detrimental to his development.
"My father said that he would let me try it after I turned sixteen and went to college. If I could be admitted to the Combat Command Department of Dawn University, it would systematically teach the principles and how to operate it. By then, I must have a mecha of my own. No, two." Kane was happy just thinking about it.
Xu Weiwei was also happy for him.
The competition on the stage had already begun unknowingly, and the excitement was no less than that of the Marvel action movies. The sparks and sounds of the weapons colliding made people's adrenaline soar. From time to time, exclamations were heard from the audience, and they were worried about the players who were in danger.
Xu Weiwei also watched intently, and watching from a close distance made her feel even more involved. Especially when sparks flew out, Xu Weiwei was always startled, and instinctively closed her eyes and shrank her neck, and then she realized that something was blocking her.
After doing it many times, Xu Weiwei became desensitized and was able to observe with interest the ripples caused by external objects touching the energy field.
The game was very intense. After eight minutes, the physical strength of both players decreased, which was a sign of failure for speed players.
Sure enough, WA's Steel seized the opportunity and swung his opponent with a hammer, sending him flying and falling to the ground.
The commentator stood up excitedly, speaking as fast as a machine gun: "We can see that the Adventurer's Hurricane has been severely damaged! After ten minutes of fierce fighting, Fullmetal still seized the opportunity and defeated the enemy with one blow! As expected, no one can go head-to-head with the Hammer! No matter if it's a hurricane, a whirlwind or a tornado!"
Xu Weiwei: ...Are people in this industry all so good at on-the-spot performance?
