"Pa pa pa pa..." Gao Fei kept clapping beside him.
Ever since he was at the bottom of the rankings, Ji Yu seemed to be showing signs of surpassing him.
He was so anxious, but he couldn't be impatient because his bones were still fragile and he had to take it slow.
Lin Fan knocked Ji Yu over with one hand. In Gao Fei's mind, it was almost the same as if he had knocked Ji Yu over himself.
"Wow~ Lin Fan, you're really awesome now." Li Chunhua couldn't help but exclaim. "It's my turn next, right?"
Lin Fan's physical condition is very good now.
It wasn't just his reaction time that was affected, his physical strength increased, and he was able to master various techniques more quickly. Even his brain seemed to have gotten smarter.
Although she could quickly master the movements that Song Ren taught her in the past, it still took a process. It took a period of time and thousands of times of practice before she could truly master them.
Now, after a demonstration, I can memorize the moves instantly. When I perform them myself, I can basically achieve 70 to 80 percent of the technique. A few more practice... and it's done.
The coordination of body and strength is just right, making it hard to believe that this was just learned.
If Li Chunhua and the others hadn't seen it, they probably wouldn't have believed it.
Song Ren also felt the pressure.
Lin Fan learned very quickly, absorbing various skills from him like a sponge, and like a genius, he could learn anything once taught.
If he continues like this, he will soon run out of moves and techniques to teach.
Even though Li Chunhua hasn't been defeated by Lin Fan yet, he just has more combat experience and strength.
Song Ren himself also only has this advantage left.
But according to Lin Fan's current absorption speed, his combat experience is increasing rapidly, and his strength is also increasing.
Song Ren could predict that Li Chunhua would be defeated soon, and he himself would not be able to hold on for long...
Another aspect of Lin Fan's victory over Ji Yu is that her bare-handed strength has reached a level comparable to that of the special forces.
An intuitive manifestation of this quality is the ability to drive bionic armor.
When Fu Guang was created, Lin Fan went up to try it out and was almost suffocated.
Now, her physical fitness and strength have been comprehensively improved, even surpassing Ji Yu. In theory, driving the bionic armor will no longer be a problem.
Under everyone's encouragement and to satisfy his own curiosity, Lin Fan entered Yufeng.
"How is it?" Yu Guangli was closely watching the data uploaded from the combat suit in front of the console.
"Not bad." Lin Fan's voice came from inside Yufeng. It felt different from inside the stars. "It feels like wearing a pressure suit, but it's not particularly uncomfortable."
When Lin Fan looked out of the bionic armor's window for the first time, he felt it was very different from being in the stars.
Although there are many differences when transforming into a star, such as the field of view being too high, she does not feel anything special.
After all, Xingchen and she are already one and the same, and the switching of states will not give her an extra sense of special existence.
When she entered the cab of the bionic armor, although the field of vision was at a comparable height, the feeling...how should I put it, it was like looking out from under a motorcycle helmet. The unignorable presence made her very uncomfortable.
"Can you move?" Yu Guangli asked again.
Lin Fan regained consciousness, stretched his limbs easily, and walked around a few times casually. "No problem, I feel fine."
All of this was within everyone's expectations. Lin Fan already possessed the qualifications to drive the 623 bionic armor.
On the contrary, Gao Fei could only stand aside and watch because his fracture had not healed.
"Don't worry, once this wave of mecha transformation is completed, you will be able to get on the machine." Zhang Zhaojie stood beside Gao Fei and comforted him.
"Are there many places that need to be renovated?" Gao Fei turned around and asked.
"Well, it doesn't look like much on the outside, but the work involved was quite a bit, so it took quite a while," Zhang Zhaojie explained in detail. "Because of the limited material available for the 818, the outer armor remained largely unchanged, but thrusters were added to the front armpits and rear shoulder blades."
Inspired by the upgraded Xingchen, Zhang Zhaojie adjusted the position of the thrusters and increased the capacity of the battery compartment to meet the needs of the propulsion system.
"After the transformation, your ability and duration of floating should be greatly increased. Much stronger than before." Zhang Zhaojie said with a smile.
"Isn't it said that increasing the weight will affect the movement of the mecha? So we spent a lot of time on reducing the outer shell to make the power system more flexible?" When Gao Fei first joined 623, he attended many theoretical classes and this part was discussed.
"You're not mistaken, but the power system has been upgraded and the power assist has been increased, so a little extra weight won't be a problem." Xia Jing came over at some point. "The exoskeleton mecha has made new achievements. The hydraulic sensors have been upgraded as a whole, making it lighter and more flexible. We can use them."
"Is it the one that Jiang You and the others had?" Gao Fei thought of the exoskeleton bracket that could not cover anything, but he did not expect that there would be new results.
"Yes, that's it. Exoskeleton research has been going on for several generations, and the results are relatively mature. Previously, the internal power structure of our mecha directly used their results. Now that their technology has been upgraded and is more mature, we can take the opportunity to upgrade our mecha." Xia Jing said.
"Thanks to the upgraded propulsion system, otherwise the extra weight from this thruster adjustment would have been difficult to handle," Zhang Zhaojie said with a thankful expression. "That's good! After the modifications, the handling might be even lighter than before."
"Really?" Gao Fei felt longing after hearing this.
After his fracture, it will take a long time for him to recover to his original condition. If the mecha is easier to control, it will be really good news for him.
"Yes, at least that's true in theory." Xia Jing answered affirmatively.
"I actually thought about adding wings," Zhang Zhaojie said with some regret, "but they're too heavy, and your main platform is still on the ground, so adding wings wouldn't make much sense, so I gave up."
The wings of the stars are one of the biggest highlights of this upgrade. Although we don’t know how to use them yet, they are obviously related to flying.
Although the bionic armor's flight capabilities are not sufficient, the need for flight is rare in daily life. The current state is just enough.
If they really dragged such a large pair of wings, even if it could increase their so-called flying ability, they were not stars after all. It only took Lin Fan a thought to open and close the wings.
Adding wings would require solving a host of issues related to weight, structure, power, systems, etc. Furthermore, even if they were installed, they might not be very flexible to use.
Those wings are quite large, and if they cannot be controlled flexibly, they will become a hindrance.
So even though everyone was envious of Xingchen's big wings, the wings were removed in the proposal to improve the bionic armor.
Compared to flashy wings, it would be more practical to use the raw materials melted from the turtle spear to make double spikes hidden in the arm guard.
Zhang Zhaojie did not design the weapon into a handheld and changeable shape like the stars, but directly fixed it in the arm guard.
When in use, it slides directly from the back of the hand. The length can reach 30 to 40 centimeters, and the hand can be free for some grasping movements.
Aside from the weapons of the first-generation armor, the rest of the armor was used to coat the outer armor of the second-generation armor. The weapons of the second-generation armor were daggers, one per armor, inserted horizontally at the back. When in use, they were drawn out and could be used with either the left or right hand.
The reason for this design is purely because the materials of the Wangba gun are limited and cannot be made into the same size as the first generation armor. We can only make what we can.
After the upgrade, the controllability, strength and offensiveness of the bionic armor will be comprehensively improved.
Mecha technology has taken another big step forward.
Ji Yu has fallen, so how long will Song Ren be left?
