Chapter 938 Air Force

Seeing Du Yuming reluctant to take off his exoskeleton, the director of the General Armaments Department smiled and tapped the alloy spine on Du Yuming's back, which was glowing with a cold light, and said jokingly, "How is it, Captain Du? Is the experience not bad?"

Hearing this, Du Yuming reluctantly stroked the carbon fiber armor of the exoskeleton and admitted frankly: "Haha~ I'm sorry to make you laugh, Minister Xiang. It really exceeded my expectations. I can't let it go!"

Such a magical weapon, it is impossible for any soldier not to like it!

"I would also like to trouble the director to work hard to get the 'Dragon Spine-I' exoskeleton in place as soon as possible so that our ground network troops can take action as soon as possible!"

Before he finished speaking, the curve of Director Xiang's mouth suddenly froze, and a bitter smile oozed out from his wrinkles: "Captain Du... I'm afraid you misunderstood."

As he spoke, he flicked the test number stamp on the exoskeleton with his fingernail: "This 'Dragon Spine-I' exoskeleton system cannot be distributed to your entire army at present..."

"It may be that the General Assembly Department did not communicate clearly with Army Commander Wang Tiefeng. The 'Dragon Spine-I' exoskeleton was just finalized not long ago, and only a small amount was produced for actual combat testing. There was no large-scale production line at all..."

...

"...This...So this is still a test version?" Du Yuming reacted quickly after hearing Director Xiang's words.

"Yes, I heard that you are going to carry out reconnaissance missions alone. The situation you are facing is complicated and the conditions are harsh, so we wanted to put the experimental project on you..."

"The original plan was to give this batch of equipment to the frontline troops in Yucheng for trial use!"

"So it's not me who's going to help. Instead, I'm going to ask you, Captain Du, to help test the actual combat effectiveness of this batch of exoskeletons and collect data..."

"Your data feedback is thorough and detailed enough, and the mass-produced 'Dragon Spine-I' exoskeleton system will be even more useful in the future!"

...

After hearing Director Xiang's explanation, Du Yuming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed... Such a good exoskeleton... can't be distributed to the entire ground network force?

If I had never seen the light...I could have...

"Director Xiang, please tell me the truth. How many of these 'Dragon Spine-I' exoskeleton systems do you have in stock at the General Armaments Department?"

"Since you've asked our ground network troops to test it, don't be indecisive and give us everything!"

"The missions we carry out and the environment we face are definitely more extreme and complex than you can imagine. Moreover, we, the Spark Commando, are used to being a pilot unit. What advanced equipment in the entire army should we not try out first?"

"The guinea pigs have become old guinea pigs. Just leave everything to us. We guarantee that we will be professional and reliable!"

As Du Yuming finished speaking, Director Xiang of the General Armament Department's eyes briefly flashed with hesitation, but then he quickly made up his mind!

"Okay, Captain Du, based on what you said, I will hand over the actual combat test project entrusted to our General Armament Department by the 001 Light Weapons Research Institute to you!"

"The 001 Light Weapons Research Institute has given us 300 sets of this 'Dragon Spine-I' exoskeleton system... Come with me to the general assembly to complete the handover procedures, and then you can take people to pick it up!"

"I have only one request, that we must do a good job in usage feedback and data collection. After all, we are only accepting the commission from the 001 Light Weapons Research Institute. If we don't do it well, and the other party reports it to the higher-ups, I will be punished!" When talking about this, Director Xiang's expression was more serious than ever before.

! !

300 sets?

When Du Yuming heard that there were 300 sets, his eyes lit up instantly. When he heard about the test, he thought there were not even 100 sets!

300 sets are really a pleasant surprise. When all members of Special Squadron 1 are equipped with them, the rest of the ground network troops will also be able to get some benefits. It is simply perfect!

Thinking of this, Du Yuming quickly shook Director Xiang's hand and thanked him enthusiastically:

"Of course, of course. Please rest assured, Director. Our soldiers are experienced and will be professional and reliable!"

"Thank you so much for what you did today. It's getting late now. I'd like to invite you to have dinner with our Spark Commando Team!"

"You have helped me so much, please give me some face!"

Faced with Du Yuming's cordial invitation, Director Xiang of the General Armament Department looked at the time and readily agreed: "Haha, sorry to bother you then!"

"No, no, our cafeteria just happened to have some new dishes, and I need to give the director some more suggestions!"

The dusk is getting darker

The afterglow was evenly painted on every corner of the Longbao Air Force Base, immersing the cold steel and cement in a brief but tragic warm gold....

Surrounding the entire Longbao Air Force Base, high and thickened reinforced concrete walls act like silent guards. On the top are not only cold accordion-shaped barbed wire, but also high voltage electricity that flashes blue and white arcs from time to time.

When a tiny flying insect accidentally hits it, it will make a short, heart-pounding, subtle "crackling" sound, like an invisible death warning line.

On the tarmac, a large number of J-16 multi-purpose heavy fighter jets were scattered around. The gray-blue paint on the fuselage absorbed the twilight, and in the interlaced light and shadow of natural sky and artificial light, it showed a unique, quenched, cold and hard texture.

On the taxiway near one end of the main runway, a J-16 that had just completed the final inspection before the attack was moving slowly.

Its twin turbofan engines were roaring low, with visible heat waves surging behind the nozzles, distorting the air in the twilight. The missiles and auxiliary fuel tanks mounted under the wings were clearly visible, reflecting the cold red light of the runway indicator lights.

The ground crew guide on the side was wearing a bright yellow vest and holding a glowing guide stick. He was guiding the direction with precise and neat gestures in front of the side of the aircraft. His figure looked small and determined against the backdrop of the huge fighter plane.

At the same time, on another main runway in the distance, a J-16 multi-purpose heavy fighter that had just completed its cruise mission was roaring to the ground, and the main landing gear tires rubbed against the rough concrete surface, making a continuous and dull rumbling sound...

'Boom! '

The deceleration parachute that suddenly opened at the tail was like a blooming dandelion!

...

In addition to these eye-catching "big guys" throughout the Longbao Air Force Base, there are also more air force ground crew members wearing dark blue uniforms. They belong to the J-16 Aviation Brigade and the H-20 Aviation Brigade respectively.

Some pushed flatbed trucks loaded with aircraft gun ammunition, and the metal ammunition chains made cold and hard collision sounds as they bumped along; some drove highly specialized oil tankers, and the thick black oil pipelines were connected to the interfaces of the J-16 like giant pythons; others stood on mobile work platforms, doing the final visual inspection of the fighter planes that were about to take off again, and the checklists in their hands were flipping in the evening breeze...

And in this symphony of steel, noise and busyness, there is a dark green military shuttle bus, moving smoothly along a specific channel, shuttling through the busy airport...
