Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

The so-called engineering actually consists of two concepts.

Make up for your shortcomings and transform the external environment according to your own wishes.

Of course, Windlow knew where his weaknesses lay.

Lack of exercise and training since childhood makes it a problem for him to burst out with energy in a short period of time, let alone fight and kill the enemy.

The ratmen also face this problem. Since most of them are malnourished, they can't even defeat the goblins.

In order to strengthen their physical strength, female rat people naturally have relevant books.

"Exoskeleton powered armor?"

Windlow flipped through the book carefully and analyzed the pictures in it.

Bones have three basic functions.

1. Support the organism.

Second, protect organs and tissues.

3. Store special nutrients.

The original bones of ordinary mortals, or all mortals, are too fragile. Although they can perform three basic functions, they cannot go any further.

If you want to strengthen your flesh and blood body, the first step is naturally to wear an exoskeleton.

If you want to upgrade bones, you naturally need a material that is stronger than bones.

Steel and obsidian can indeed better meet the protection requirements, but they are large in size and incredibly heavy.

Regarding the material issue, the solution proposed in the Ratwoman's book is to use the elves' iselama silver.

Ithilama silver is the most precious material of the High Elves, comparable to the oath gold of the Dwarves.

As an extremely light and resilient metal, Iselama Silver provides the protection of steel without slowing down the wearer.

The female ratman exhausted all her strength, but only saved a little bit, which was definitely not enough to use as materials.

But as to how she got the pledge money, this really left Windlow puzzled.

However, although Iselama silver is expensive, it is not impossible to get.

Use your own reserves to complete the unfinished work of the female rat man and build a bank.

With the bank, cash flow and profits naturally created additional wealth for Windlow in a very short period of time.

Through lending and borrowing, the profits earned by the bank allowed him to accumulate enough wealth to purchase Iserama silver.

After locking himself in the Ratwoman's engineering laboratory, the first experiments in the creation of exoskeleton powered armor began.

Power adjustment, three tons of thrust, one ton of pulling force, structural strength permitted.

The power source is the magic crystal purified from the dimensional stone. The magic crystal is burned to generate heat, which is then used to boil water to drive the steam engine.

The defensive setting focuses on the left shoulder, reducing weight while strengthening left shoulder defense.

Enhanced power, capable of running fast and adapting to multiple terrains.

Only one month had passed, and Windlow had made the most basic power armor.

By releasing the mana wind in the magic crystal as fuel, the water in the boiler can be heated, and the generated steam will provide a continuous source of power.

The pressure gauge has three values ​​in total.

If the steam pressure is not enough, it will serve as a basic exoskeleton driven by manpower, playing a simple defensive role and being good at resisting hacking.

If the steam pressure is sufficient, the power of the entire power armor can be met, saving physical strength and having the maximum strength value.

If the steam pressure exceeds the standard, the entire power armor will inevitably have steam leakage problems. Due to limited materials and resources, it is impossible to achieve absolute airtightness.

Once the steam pressure exceeds the standard, it will cause irreversible damage to the power armor and even the risk of self-explosion.

After putting on this set of things that had never been tested before, Wendlow immediately felt the heavy burden.

In order to meet various functions, various parts are naturally added. Although Iselama silver is light in weight, it is not completely weightless.

Such a set of clothes on Wendlow made him feel a little breathless. If Mousse wore it... That's all.

After making sure that all joints were fully flexible and setting the maximum angle, Windlow patted his left shoulder. This was the core power compartment of the steam-powered armor.

Among them is a compressed steam boiler designed by a female ratman, which is even smaller than the steam engine of the Imperial Steam Tank. The disadvantage is that it needs to be replenished with water at all times, and the only fuel can be magic crystals.

Only the High Elves and the Slann in the world can make this thing. All other races can only use unrefined dimensional stones.

Fortunately, Wendlow happened to have an affinity with magic, so it was not difficult for him to refine some magic crystals.

But if you want to keep the power armor running for a long time, it is naturally impossible to find so many resources.

"First test, let's begin."

After snapping his fingers, Windlow lit a flame in his hand.

Ulthuan is truly a place of great feng shui. The wind of magic is plentiful, and the wind of fire can be easily captured without much effort.

Such a tiny flame directly ignited the magic crystal inside the shoulder armor, and the entire steam engine started to run.

Then he immediately closed all the cabins and looked at the pressure gauge on his wrist.

The steam pressure is increasing and at the same time, due to the internal power of the steam, the water adding and exhaust equipment are running rhythmically.

It's like a steam tank, extracting power rhythmically.

"Slowly, slowly, left leg."

If Windlo wanted to lift his left leg, he only needed to touch the steam switch with the ankle of that foot, and the steam power would be immediately transmitted to the left leg of the power armor, causing it to drive Windlo's entire left leg forward.

After the left foot lands on the ground, the steam switch is turned off, and in this way, basic power use and power stop are completed.

Next is the right leg, which is lifted in the same way as the left leg. The power armor also lifts the right leg.

You can control the movement of your legs just by moving your feet.

Although it saves a lot of effort, the operation is still a bit counter-intuitive and requires long-term training to form muscle memory.

The same principle applies to the left and right arms. By controlling different steam switches with different fingers, the robotic arm will perform various different actions.

On the wide lawn, any elf passing by would see a frantic human trying to control his limbs.

The movements were ridiculous, but he did it better each time than the last.

To lift your left foot, push your left knee forward.

To extend your left leg, lift the big toe of your left foot upward.

If you want to raise your arm, you should raise your wrist. If you want to retract your arm, you should raise your little finger. If you want to punch, you should raise your thumb.

Such a set of power armor completely eliminated Windlow's ability to use his fingers flexibly, and he couldn't even grip the ground with his toes.

As a benefit, while providing good defense, it also allows Windlow to obtain the most important attribute.

After the simple but physically demanding task was handed over to the steam-powered armor, this weak body without systematic training became...

“Full of energy”
