Qin Shi raised an eyebrow. While helping the youngest, Qin Lan, with homework earlier, he roughly understood that Santang Heavy Industry is the ultimate Holy Land for mechanical pathways.
The Twelve Beasts series of biological armors is the masterpiece of the rising star designer Shui Sheng.
Using the twelve auspicious beasts of the ancient Empire as prototypes, twelve symbiotic energy cores with distinct yet exceptionally coordinated styles were created.
"The Tai Monarch has released several biological armors, which are the ’Stealth Type - Zimu,’ ’Heavy Armor Type - Chouniu,’ and ’Hunter Type - Yinhut.’
Yu Weiwei indeed closely followed as she had said, staying closely by Qin Shi’s side as he walked up to the arena, also serving as an explanatory tool.
Qin Shi’s gaze swept from left to right. The first armor was fully covered in dark gray scales, with electronic instruments integrated into the eye area, relatively "petite."
Without a doubt, this was the ’Stealth Type - Zimu.’
As soon as he touched the opponent, detailed data appeared before his eyes.
"Normal height 1.75 meters, burrowing mode 1.05 meters... abilities: optical camouflage, ultrasonic detection, burrowing mode... weapons configuration: high-strength ceramic blades..."
Evidently, this was the content transmitted by Tai Monarch.
The "Heavy Armor Type - Chouniu,"
"Height 2.35 meters... abilities: gravity field deployment, shockwave release, super muscle exertion... weapons configuration: gravity hammer..."
Qin Shi noticed that the Chouniu armor was covered with a deep brown keratin layer, and hydraulic horns could eject from its head, vastly different in functionality from the Zimu armor.
Indeed worthy of its heavy armor type designation!
But among all the biological armors released by Tai Monarch, the one giving Qin Shi the greatest sense of threat was the one with black-gold stripes, especially thick limbs, and a glimmering alloy sheen - the Yinhut.
"Height 2.2 meters, built-in back arch support structure, muscle density fifteen times that of a normal person, abilities include scent tracking, identification of billions of smell molecules, hunter mode, injection of high-concentration adrenaline for continuous four-hour pursuit and slaughter... weapons configuration: foldable sonic cannon with an effective radius of fifteen meters..."
Qin Shi, with his Divine Residence Inner World, perceived the spiritual essence of these biological armors, tentatively judging them to be around the ninth to the fifth rank in specialized levels. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel✦fire.net
"The technological accumulation of Santang Heavy Industry is indeed terrifying."
He couldn’t help but sigh. Biological Armor is not an exoskeleton; it’s not meant to be "worn." It requires surgical implantation of specially extracted "combat cells," embedding them into the spine.
It takes roughly half a month to generate a web-like biological neural network, akin to a symbiotic interface, enabling perfect manipulation.
However, Biological Armor has its drawbacks: first, the surgical success rate is low, and failure risks are significant; second, its strength performance is closely related to the "synchronization rate."
The implanted combat cells need to bind with the host’s genes, then synchronize and evolve.
If the two happen to match exceptionally well, the effect can be greater than the sum of its parts.
"Biological Armor technology is a major achievement of the New Martial Sect. It is now widely used in small-scale battlefields with low to moderate intensity, essentially a lower-tier substitute for the Divine Machines."
To fully unlock the peak combat power of a military Divine Machine, it requires at least the specialized fifth rank and extensive training and study, making it far less practical than Biological Armor.
"Zimu, Chouniu, Yinhut, I wonder how the Tai Monarch plans to use these three biological armors to conduct tests?"
Qin Shi was puzzled – would he initiate a driverless mode for a battle?
Biological armors lacking hosts would likely have diminished combat power.
"These three biological armors each have different functionalities."
When several challengers successively took the stage, Tai Monarch finally spoke:
"The Stealth Type excels in speed and rapid attacks. The Heavy Armor Type boasts brute strength, with few weaknesses. The Hunter Type’s offensive is swift and highly lethal."
Next, I will create scenarios suitable for their battles, then I’ll manipulate them to combat a few students."
With the Tai Monarch’s words, a storm erupted.
Originally confident Zhang Hai’s expression darkened abruptly.
An active consciousness entity is far stronger than any host!
As long as Tai Monarch desires, he can easily pull the synchronization rate to 100%, fully showcasing the Twelve Beasts series of biological armors’ terrifying nature as killing machines!
"Zhang Classmate, since you were so eager earlier, why not you go first?"
Tai Monarch looked at Zhang Hai.
Though Zhang Hai felt a bit uneasy, he remained defiant.
He had just returned from advanced studies at the Azure Dragon Daoist School, not only breaking into the specialized domain but also touching the embryonic form of "traits."
Thus he believed himself superior to Zhou Yuanchen!
"Zhang Classmate, which biological armor would you like to combat?"
"The Heavy Armor Type Chouniu."
Zhang Hai’s eyes shifted, he pondered for a moment, then pointed at the Chouniu armor in the center.
His thinking was clear; the Stealth Type Zimu seemed the weakest in combat but had the highest mobility, making it difficult for his techniques.
As for the Hunter Type Yinhut, in the hands of Tai Monarch, it might burst out with terrifying power of approximately the third rank specialized level, impossible to beat.
Only the Chouniu, despite its towering and heavy stature and strong defensive posture, had weaker attack capabilities, giving him a chance to contend.
"In this regard, being the first to choose is an advantage."
Zhang Hai touched his golden hair standing on end, a trace of a smile appeared on his lips.
These three biological armors’ own combat power far exceeds the life level of young geniuses.
The Tai Monarch’s choice to use them for challenge testing was likely intended to assess, to see everyone’s level, and to set an example for other students.
