Chapter 308: Purchase, Lease, and Intent
Following Ivan Vanko's command, a depleted uranium alloy armor-piercing round, trailing electromagnetic blazing flames, roared out from the muzzle, striking the Behemoth God Armor at ten times the speed of sound.
Layers of blue light barriers, roughly a foot thick, flickered across the surface of the Behemoth God Armor. The round hit the blue shield, sending the Behemoth God Armor staggering back repeatedly.
With a loud clang, the Behemoth God Armor slid back several dozen meters before standing firm. The depleted uranium armor-piercing round had completely expended its kinetic energy!
With a clatter, the scorching hot warhead fell to the ground.
"Its anti-strike capability is excellent!" Gene's eyes lit up. A 120mm depleted uranium armor-piercing round, fired by an electromagnetic cannon, traveling at ten times the speed of sound, was enough to punch through the Federation's latest heavy tanks.
Yet, this armor was completely undamaged by such an attack. Only the color of the surface energy shield had faded slightly, clearly indicating that the Tang Group had fully grasped the Chitauri's energy shield technology.
After the armor's defensive test concluded, the electromagnetic cannon that Gene had eyed with envy was retracted back into the alloy floor.
The alloy floor once again parted to the sides, and this time the elevator brought up an alloy metal block. The alloy lock, shaped like a gym stone lock, was sprayed with the marking "20t".
Thump, thump, thump, thump. The black Behemoth God Armor strode forward to the alloy lock.
Click, click. Its five metal fingers gripped the handle of the alloy lock, effortlessly lifting it and tossing it several dozen meters away.
"Anyone wearing this set of armor will possess physical strength exceeding twenty tons!" Ivan Vanko introduced to Gene with a hint of pride.
After testing the strength, the alloy lock was transported back underground. Dozens of metal pillars of varying heights rose from beneath the testing ground, instantly making the terrain of the testing ground incredibly complex.
The Behemoth God Armor slightly bent its waist and quickly ran around these metal pillars. In the blink of an eye, it stirred up a gale within the testing ground. The detection instruments at the side continuously reported its running speed.
Fifty kilometers per hour, eighty kilometers per hour, one hundred kilometers per hour... Finally, the Behemoth God Armor's running speed reached an astonishing high speed of two hundred kilometers per hour! Moreover, it moved with extreme agility while running. It ran around the metal pillars in arcs, yet it never touched them once. No matter how complex the route, it could make the fastest and most appropriate reactions relying on its internal computing chip.
The metal pillars slowly retracted into the ground, and the sprinting Behemoth God Armor stood once again in the center of the testing ground.
A three-foot-thick tank alloy armor steel plate slowly rose a hundred meters in front of it. The Behemoth God Armor raised its right arm, and the armor plate on its right arm shifted, revealing an energy cannon port about the thickness of a fist.
After a brief charge, a white light shot out from the muzzle, punching a hole clean through the tank alloy armor steel plate.
"Fantastic!" Gene applauded and cheered non-stop.
Ivan Vanko tore open the wrapper of an Alpenliebe lollipop and popped the fruit-flavored lollipop into his mouth, unconcerned by Gene's fuss.
The cut-down version of the Behemoth God Armor had its firepower specifications strictly limited during the initial stage of weapon manufacturing.
The internal Arc Reactor energy source could support the main cannon on the right arm for one hundred consecutive shots.
However, besides this main cannon, the Behemoth God Armor could be externally equipped with over a hundred types of weapons. When moving with a full weapon load, the Behemoth God Armor's maximum speed would drop to one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour, but the carried weapons were equivalent to the firepower of a reinforced platoon.
As Ivan Vanko explained, three modular weapon boxes rose from underground. The Behemoth God Armor walked over and easily carried the three weapon boxes on its back.
With a few low mechanical hums, two 15mm multi-barreled machine guns were mounted on the arms of Hercules Unit One, one on the left and one on the right. An 80mm mortar barrel extended from behind its head, and two 120mm large-caliber anti-armor missiles extended from its shoulders.
Armed to the teeth, this was the only feeling the Behemoth God Armor gave off! And this was only a small part of the weapon configurations it could choose.
Muffled gunfire rang out, and two long streams of flame erupted. The firing rate of twelve thousand rounds per minute lasted for a full three minutes, turning the steel plate target in front into a honeycomb.
"Bang, bang, bang!" With a few muffled thuds, the mortar fired three high-explosive grenades consecutively. The ten by ten meter steel plate target was blown into pieces amidst the loud explosions.
Next was the melee combat test. The Behemoth God Armor was equipped with chainswords. Powered by the Arc Reactor, the two chainswords could easily cut a Federation's latest tank armor in half.
The inspiration for these two chainswords came from Ivan Vanko's Whiplash. The gears of the chainsaw were made of secondary Adamantium Alloy. When the chainsaw rotated at high speed, the sharp chain teeth, combined with high-strength voltage and current, could, according to Ivan Vanko's introduction, cut even giant beasts from Beyond the Wormhole, whose entire bodies were made of diamond, into several sections.
"Mr. Vanko, isn't that a bit exaggerated? You know those monsters are a hundred meters tall, standing upright like skyscrapers. I don't deny that this set of armor is the strongest exoskeleton armor I've ever seen, but using this chainsaw to cut open the bodies of those monsters?"
It wasn't surprising that Gene was suspicious. A three-meter-tall exoskeleton armor was indeed sufficient for humanity, but for Kaiju comparable to skyscrapers, it could barely reach their feet.
Even if these monsters stood still and allowed themselves to be cut, it would take several hours to inflict a fatal wound on them.
"You Department of Defense personnel don't need to worry about this. This mech was designed from the start to face such large carbon-based life forms. We've done tests! Two units of this armor are enough to handle one Kaiju!"
With a hissing sound, the chest armor in front of the Behemoth God Armor slowly opened. A Hulking Man, about two meters tall, with muscles like steel castings – strand by strand, strip by strip, block by block, plate by plate – slowly walked out from inside.
"Mr. Kane?" Yuri exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you personally here to test the weapons!?"
Kane nodded towards Yuri. "This set of Behemoth God Armor was originally custom-made for me by the Weapons Research Department. No one is more familiar with the structure of this armor than I am! Boss just happened to send me back to the Federation to handle some business. I've been at the Weapon Experiment Base these past few days with nothing to do, so I might as well test the weapon performance for Ivan!"
"Mr. Kane! This set of armor from your Tang Group is indeed impressive, but... what's the cost? What's the cost of one unit of this Behemoth God Armor?"
Gene walked up to the Behemoth God Armor, affectionately stroking its arm, looking at the concise internal structure revealed by the opened chest armor.
He looked at Kane curiously.
Although he hadn't dealt with Kane before, he had heard of this number three figure of the Tang Group. After all, Kane had served as the former Director of the Presidential Security Bureau. Although his term was less than three months, he was a prominent figure in the Federation political scene at that time.
That period could be described as a bloody storm for the political scene and the military. Countless Federation high-ranking officials were suppressed, transferred, or secretly detained.
Many of those detained or dismissed held positions higher than Gene's.
Hearing Gene's question, Yuri stepped forward and said with a smile to Gene, "We have invested a total of 2.7 billion US Dollars in research funding for this project!"
Gene frowned. "That expensive?" Yuri shook his head and explained, "Leaving aside the engine system and intelligent control system required for the armor, and the money and effort we spent researching them,
