Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 261 Ultra Warrior
After a long while, just as the researchers were about to try calling a second time, a long sigh suddenly came out.

Li Gang, whose face was originally contorted and eyes were tightly closed, gradually regained his original calm and rigid expression.

With a sound like a high-pressure airflow being released, a large amount of white vapor suddenly spewed out from the mouth and nose, hitting the ground directly.

With another twitch of muscles, the person slowly straightened up from the reclining position, opened their eyes, revealing eyes that were slightly bloodshot from the recent injection.

"Report... Senses normal, consciousness clear, can continue..."

A hoarse voice came from the loudspeaker in the observation room on the second floor.

Chen Ming, whose gaze had been fixed on the monitoring data, nodded slightly after confirming it several times, and then pressed the communicator in his collar:
"Very good. Initiate the third phase, conduct another final test on the equipment, and continuously monitor and record all data. This is the first complete process based on theory, and every piece of data is of great significance and cannot be missed."

As the instructions were issued, groups of researchers arrived at their respective areas and in front of the instruments, following the procedures they had practiced multiple times. Their expressions were serious, and their movements were swift.

In front of the huge experimental cabin, which was supported by hydraulic rods, the space was quickly cleared, and technical equipment at various angles was re-erected.

Amidst the gleaming metal instruments and pipes, personnel carrying heavy filtration equipment and draped in bulky bright yellow protective suits moved about like precise machines.

As the personnel at the remote control console initiated the ready-to-go program, a structure distinct from the surrounding regular floor began to slowly rotate in the center of the cleared area, rising amidst a series of tremors.

A multi-layered concentric circle structure rises one after another like a staircase. Cracks appear in the floor tiles, and sturdy mechanical arms are pushed out by the transmission device, like a thicket of steel thorns, protecting the rising pedestal in the center.

All of this is happening very quickly.

This is not only being watched by a large number of high-ranking officials, but also the first time that a theory that everyone has worked day and night, through countless trials and errors, has been put into practice.

At this moment, all the elites from all walks of life in Xingguo gathered here were giving it their all, like the most precise gears in the world, meshing together and operating efficiently.

Pre-set instructions were entered and executed one by one, and a group of technical personnel were already stepping forward to assist as the element entered the preparation phase.

They surrounded Li Gang, who had already stood up and was now even more enormous after the temporary drug stimulation.

It was as if some kind of ritual was being performed, orderly and silent, with people following from a distance.

As the subject of the experiment, Li Gang was also tense, driving his body, which had reached its limit and was on the verge of collapse at any moment, to take heavy steps forward with unwavering determination.

"Boom-thump-"

The heavy footsteps, like giant bones, struck the hearts of everyone present, as if beating the drumbeat of humanity's ancient and extraordinary struggle against this chaotic era.

Heavy and slow, but unwavering.

As someone who was informed of everything in advance and was well aware of the heavy responsibilities he bore, Li Gang was very clear about the kind of achievements his success would bring.

They arrived together with 100 elites selected from among the best of the best in the military.

Over the course of several months, the initial grueling physical training was followed by a month-long, almost hellish process of modification and drug adaptation.

He watched as one by one, soldiers like himself, filled with lofty ideals and ready to die, were eliminated in physical tolerance tests and subsequent drug reactions, leaving with regret.

In the end, only a handful of people, including myself, remained.

No one who has come here is afraid of death; everyone is prepared to die, willing to pave a path for those who come after.

But this is a completely new path to explore, requiring constant trial and error. It not only requires awakening, but also luck.

Among the remaining people, he was not the one in the best condition or the most stable. And with the experiment having progressed to this point, there was no longer any chance for him to return to a normal life.

Rather than spending the rest of your life in a hospital bed relying on machines, it's better to take a gamble.

He voluntarily requested that the intensity of his usual experimental schedule be increased by several percentage points, so that his physical data could be raised to an alarming level before the final experiment.

He succeeded, perhaps by divine favor or sheer luck.

The sudden acceleration of drug injections and experimental modifications, while leaving the body riddled with holes, did not completely destroy it.

We have reached this historic step, and we cannot give up under any circumstances.

With this mindset, I left the experimental chamber where the implantation and injection had just been performed, walking step by step under the gaze of those around me, enduring the burning sensation of residual drugs all over my body.

Using the already damaged and numb nerves, the abnormally swollen muscle fibers throughout the body are driven, allowing these violent flesh and blood, capable of twisting steel, to drive the bones, a mixture of calcium and metal, forward.

With each step he took, his body swayed unsteadily.

The massive tremors also caused excruciating pain in the swollen, overgrown internal organs, which had been soaked in excessive amounts of medication, as if an electric current were piercing their brains.

However, at this moment, he clenched his teeth in this inexplicably solemn atmosphere.

Ignoring everything as if it weren't his own body, he resolutely walked towards the arched platform that was already prepared not far away.

Seeing this, the researchers who had stopped their work all turned their attention to this scene.

It was as if we were witnessing a highly symbolic ceremony, a turning point in history that deserves to be written about and remembered.

The short distance between the experimental chamber and the high platform was also included in the experimental design.

Under the watchful eyes of the technicians on both sides, he used his own abilities to leave the experimental chamber and proceed to the final step.

This can test the extent of nerve damage, the integrity of executive function, mental clarity, and the degree of bodily function retention, among other things. As time passed, amidst the crowd and equipment, a figure swayed and arrived at the tiered circular platform, stepping onto the first step.

Then came the second floor, the third floor…

During this process, although his body inevitably lost its balance and swayed, he finally stood firmly on the highest point of the circular platform.

With his chest heaving violently, Li Gang, dragging his bloated and crippled body, steadied himself according to the signs under his feet, looking at the 12 steps he had struggled to climb.

Finally, she withdrew her gaze, slightly raising it to look at a crimson flag hanging on the laboratory wall in the distance, her eyes resolute:

"The torch is passed down from generation to generation, and our nation endures forever!"

"Come on, I'm ready!"

As the resounding words were shouted, the operators at the control panel, who were already in position and watching the scene, immediately pressed the buttons on their devices.

As the connection process began, the tall robotic arms that had been guarding the platform suddenly began to move.

A series of curved metal pieces covered with various circuit electrodes were lifted from a shelf by a robotic arm.

Just like he had practiced many times before, Li Gang closed his eyes and stretched out his arms, waiting.

Soon, the robotic arm, with its thin metal plates suspended on it, slowly moved closer and attached the corresponding parts to the human body piece by piece.

With its standing position, the program operated at full efficiency, and in no time, the massive, muscular man who had just been covered in scars was now covered from the head down by a finely crafted, dark gold metal plate.

The meticulously calculated interlocking structure ensures that even with such a close fit, the cold, hard metal does not restrict limb movement.

On top of that, regularly spaced perforated contacts are distributed throughout each of the axles, nested together with the electronic contacts previously embedded in the musculoskeletal structure.

The perfectly fitting, exquisite armor accentuates the bulging muscles beneath, leaving no doubt about the immense power within this body.

The perfect combination of biological violence and mechanical precision creates an oppressive atmosphere just by looking at it.

And this idea is clearly not shared by just one or two people.

Standing before the enormous observation window on the second floor, a group of high-ranking officials from various sectors of Xingguo, who had watched the entire event, were all shocked and remained silent.

After a long while, when the figure below was fully equipped in black metal armor and the activity had come to an end, someone suddenly turned to look at the figure in a white coat standing in front of the data monitoring screen:
"Academician Chen...! Is this the final result of your institute's research over the past few months?!"

"...Regarding further optimization, on behalf of the Northwest Region, I cordially invite you to attend the next National Extraordinary Conference soon. I guarantee you will receive the highest level of research support!!"

The first to react was the long-faced man who had initially raised the first question, and his tone became faster and more agitated as he spoke.

It's no wonder he lost his composure; the implications of what he was seeing were far too profound.

Despite the serious side effects, instability, and low compatibility, the fact that it has pre-embedded electronic contacts all over its body and a lightweight exoskeleton is already terrifying enough.

Having reached his position, how could he not see how terrifying this technology is for improving individual combat capabilities in modern armies?

Moreover, there's the unknown enhancement surgery that comprehensively improves the system, even if subsequent optimizations cut the effects to the bare minimum for universal applicability.

That would amount to millions of Captain Americas per person, so what international disputes or diplomatic conflicts would there be then?
Anyone who disagrees? We'll just send a bunch of humanoid tanks to infiltrate behind enemy lines and decapitate them, or we can completely crush them head-on.

When we're happy, it's because of our ancient nation and civilized China; when we're unhappy, it's because of everyone else.

Just thinking about it made him excited from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, this only considers the military aspect and does not take into account the impact of enhanced surgery and such a sensitive exoskeleton on medicine and people's livelihoods.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

So, once the technology is implemented, it will definitely be supplied nationwide, but where it is developed first and where it is deployed first may vary in terms of seniority.

As you can see, after I took the initiative to speak up and win them over, the old guys from the other regions around me were all pounding their chests and stamping their feet, looking like they wanted to bite someone.

Thinking this to himself, he turned his head and swept his defiant gaze over, only to be met with a chorus of gritted teeth.

But just when he was confident of victory, an unexpected answer came from in front of him:

"District Chief Han? It's too early to talk about these things now."

"This is only the initial armor lining; the final twelfth surgery and the main armor have not yet been shown. It would be more reasonable to proceed with the discussion after we have seen it. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone, whether they were gloating or gritting their teeth, was taken aback.

After being politely refused, District Chief Han was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by a synthesized electronic voice coming from the overhead loudspeaker:

"Black armor is fully equipped, all responses are normal, motion feedback is correct, next procedure pre-start in progress, 10…9…8…7…"

"...2...1...System program self-check complete, progress advancing."

"The armor-donning ceremony is about to begin."
