1691 Presentation Over!
"Sacré Bleu!" One of the ministers exclaimed already used to the expression which was commonly used by his majesty
Hey.
It's in the book of Baymardian slang.
Good Dammit it!
The explosion made some people exclaim loudly like frightened children.
How embarrassing.
But can you blame them? It came from nowhere!
Smoke filled the confined space, and a mechanical sound soon echoed, as the smoke in the place was sucked out.
What was even more amazing was that from the moment the room detected the heavy heat waves, emitting from the explosion, a thick sheet of enhanced metal dropped before the protective glass.
And after the system did not detect any more explosions, the sheet was dropped, as though to be discarded.
Thang!
The sheets, just like window blinds, were now on the floor, and the room was no longer smokey too.
Great.
Everyone could now see clearly what exactly damage was done by the explosion.
Hiss~
How can anyone survive such an attack?
Watson had strategically placed various objects of different weights and sizes at different distances from the explosion.
Of course the further the object, the lesser the impact.
What they saw made everyone's skin tingle, making them secretly light candles for their enemies.
This was too powerful, right?
"Good job, Watson. You've really impressed us all."
"Thank you," Watson replied, having them do a few last operations with their watches.
The first was sending out a signal.
One person sent out a signal and the others with watches could now see, not only themselves with a green triangle, but also the person who sent the signal out in a green square.
So square was for others and triangles were used for themselves and their suits?
Good to know.
Finally, they had to self-destruct the watches.
After pushing the button, there would be no way to stop or pause it.
Just like in the case with the suits, the watch first smoked up for a long while before exploding.
The impact was minimal, but everyone still felt they should keep a good distance from the watch once the button is pressed out on missions.
Didn't you see how one of the watch's buttons shot out like a bullet?
Maybe they could use it to stun an enemy once captured.... who knows...
.
Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap.~
Everyone was more than impressed. But now it was time for the finale.
The money they have all been waiting for.
"Testers, please push in the large circle on the suit's built-in waist belts."
Although he didn't show it, Landon was so excited he didn't even let Watson finish his instructions.
Although the others couldn't see it, Landon could see a very frail and thin coat covering the suit.
Now, all he had to do was understand how to actually fly.
Don't think it was easy. Can't you see Gary rowing his hands as though doing a backstroke? Mark also even began swimming, while Josh and Trey flapped their hands like birds.
He hadn't fully accessed this part yet, but he knew flying was about controlling one's center of mass and movements.
Thinking hard, Landon's eyes suddenly lit up.
Many felt they had the illusion of seeing a lightbulb shine brightly above his head.
Leaving a bit forward, he found the suit seems to lead him forward.
Superman! Superman!
Everyone watched Landon zoom around like Superman. And when he wanted to stop, he lifted his chest, and the suit also stood, suspended in the air erect.
Looking at his sworn brothers and the attentive people on the ground, Landon decided to share his thoughts.
"Think about it. When you want to run, what's the thing you instinctively do?"
"Place one leg behind you and one leg ahead?"Someone answered.
Landon nodded. "Yes. You do, do that. But not before pushing your shoulders and chests forward first."
Try doing it.
The moment you're about to lift your legs, your brain has already sent your chest, shoulders and upper body to lean forward.
Think of the suit as your true body. While you are the brain.
If you want to step to the side, lean slightly to the side and the suit will follow your thoughts.
One must understand how the body reacts to fully operate the suit.
This was also amazing and good since it will give others a better understanding of human moments too.
Perhaps because of this, some people would better interpret an enemy's next move from their little gestures.
Is it really as Landon has said?
Everyone's heart throbbed severely.
Zooming in the air in a struggling manner, the others also calmed down, stopping all movements no flaring or hands and feet.
Sure enough, though suits froze suspended in the air, waiting for their orders.
Trey acted as though he wanted to kick a ball.
Indeed, the suit followed his thoughts, kicking an invisible ball as he wished.
But because he did not control his strength, he not only kicked the ball but somersaulted too, going into a spiral turn until he calmed down once again.
Shaolin Soccer?
Everyone frowned.
The suit was amazing, but without proper training and control, their soldiers could never take them out.
Since the suits could fly, it was also necessary to see them as vehicles.
Just like any other locomotives, one must know how to drive it well or accidents will occur.
Be it a bicycle, a skateboard, a scooter, or even a polo stick, everything had a manual for control.
.
On Josh's side, he landed a punch to a non-existent opponent, realizing his hit landed exactly where he wanted.
It was odd to say that for hand movements, that can be very easy for them all. But for legs, maybe because there was no ground or hard surface underneath, and no film layer like water, it was harder to gauge.
However, with time they were sure they would learn.
The feeling reminded them of the first time they drove a vehicle during driving classes.
The first day is often rough, with no one mattering it perfectly. But after a while, it becomes too easy.
For the last rest, Landon's group flew to the very top of the dome.
On the corner a metal staircase attached to the walls. There was also a lathe elevator too.
Don't forget that the dome was built 3 floors underground, and the ceiling was ground floor outside.
So the group walked up the exposed stairs, reaching a balcony above and stepping out the giant 2-sided doors.
Landon and the others followed them too, flying as efficiently as they could.
Well, Landon was the only one flying well.
Everyone else looked like newly hatched birds learning how to fly.
Alas...
If the soldiers had to practice, they just do so indoors, lest somebody accidentally flies to the moon. (:0□0)
Only those who pass the Tier-1 exams will be able to practice with the suits outdoors.
Well, at least even if they were outdoors, they must never practice using the anti-gravitational system until they pass the test.
If they really do fly away, please, you can eject, and safely return on a parachute or bubble.
The cry would be to damage or waste such an expensive suit when it could've been avoided.
Do you know that all this is taxpayer's money, as well as his private funds he was injecting into it?
Do you think money grew on trees?
The manufacture of a single unit of suits could make the dumb talk again.
Watson and the others in lab coats ticked various items on their lists, as they instructed Landon's group to lift boulders and other outside objects of varying weights.
And then, it was time to test punch force, kick force, and other racial matters.
Parachute!
Since Landon was the most proficient driver, he was of course the one who went high up and launched his parachute.
The suit wasn't like Iron Man's suit that could go so high above the ozone layer.
Well, for now the highest they could go was at a height of a 40-story builder.
Still not enough.
In the future, Landon would love for the fly height to be equivalent to the Chrysler Building which had 77 stories/floors... or the Empire State Building in New York with 102 floors.
Landon clenched his fists already defended to turn this world into a Sci-Fi advanced world before he dies!
It's not enough.
Today's mecha was useless compared to the ones in super-advanced worlds.
.
With that, the presentation was over with everyone smiling and shaking hands excitedly.
Bravo! Bravo!
"Watson, you and your team have made your empire proud! We will keep in further contact with you all, sending you more instructions on how much to manufacture. Now, with the super advanced Spider builders, I take it you'll be able to produce thousands in shorter periods, no?"
Watson nodded. "Yes. Before the deadline, 2000 suits will be sent to the barracks!"
That's good. Everyone agreed.
The faster they trained the suits arrived the faster they could train soldiers.
From the demonstration, they understood that the most challenging thing to do was to fly!
