Chapter 1722: Brand New

Ye Jian immediately tidied up her equipment. As it was new equipment, she only finished putting it on under the guidance of her comrades.

This was the first time Ye Jian saw such equipment. From the back, she couldn"t see anything different. She only felt that her backpack was much smaller. However, when she looked at it from the front, she could tell that there was something different about this equipment.

When she was looking at the drawings Xia Jinyuan drew and listening to his explanation, Ye Jian didn"t have any concept of this set of equipment. After this set of equipment was put on, she put on the sensors on her thighs, then on her waist and back. Upon putting on the backpack, she felt that there was something different about this set of equipment.

The weight was already much lighter.

"The power exoskeleton was started in 1960 by General Electric, but they only developed equipment for one hand at that time. They started their research in 1983 at MIT. Our country"s research and development was later than theirs, but the trial period is over now, and we"re entering the modification and prototype period. If there"s anything that you think isn"t reasonable enough or needs to be changed during the march, you have to write it down, Azure Bird."

The person who was in charge of putting her equipment on was Big Shark. The entire set of equipment took less than two minutes to put on. It was quite fast.

After putting on her helmet, Ye Jian took two steps back. Big Shark nodded in satisfaction. He smiled and asked Ye Jian, "Have you seen this American sci-fi movie? You look like an actress in that movie."

He gave the name of the movie. It was a science-fiction blockbuster that was released in the second half of 1984.

Ye Jian knew that she hadn"t seen it before. However, she had seen other sci-fi films before. Hence, when Big Shark talked about it, she felt that it was true. "I haven"t seen that sci-fi movie before. But now that you mention it, I do see the resemblance."

"You can tell the age difference between the two of us at once," Big Shark said jokingly. "However, this one of ours is more complicated than the T600. It"s more technical. We are the first batch of soldiers to use it. Hence, our suggestions are very important. You have to pay attention during the march."

This concerned the military power of the country. Ye Jian was not a careless person. She would only be more cautious.

Xia Jinyuan and the commander-in-chief of the navy had already changed their equipment. The two teams walked out of the barracks as fast as they could while whistling.

"The two teams will be divided into smaller teams. A total of four teams will board the vehicle!" The armored vehicles were already in position. As the commander-in-chief of the navy gave the order, the two teams quickly formed four smaller teams. They carried their rifles and boarded the vehicle.

The armored vehicles would only send the teams to the periphery of the Gobi Desert. Next, they would enter the desert on foot.

It was still dark at 5.30 o"clock. The campsite was located in an isolated corner. There was no light in the surroundings. Ye Jian was the first to jump into the car. She sat in the innermost area of the armored car. A few strong figures jumped into the car one after another. The four groups of comrades got into the vehicles at the same time.

Li Jinnian and Ye Jian sat opposite each other. When they got into the vehicle, he turned on the nightlight on his helmet and pa.s.sed a set of training materials to Ye Jian. "Have a look at the 15-day training schedule before we reach the outskirts of the Gobi. If you have any questions, raise them early."

Ye Jian took the training materials and read the first page. Her pupils constricted. The more she read, the more serious her expression became.

At this moment, she was really thankful for the new set of equipment on her. How could she outrun a trained military dog with tens of kilograms of weight on her?

That"s right. On the first day upon entering the Gobi Desert, they had to be tracked and searched by military dogs!
