Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 775 - 774: Combat Power

Of course, when running on the ground, the Xingtian Type still can't exceed the speed of sound; the supersonic speed is only achievable during flight.

However, on the ground, the Xingtian Type's maneuverability is also very strong, with not only excellent speed but also agility.

The Xingtian Type is able to adapt to various terrains and can even exhibit formidable combat power in some extreme battle environments.

According to Jiang Cheng's previous test data, the Xingtian Type can run as if on flat ground on mountains and move freely in the deep sea.

Even in environments at altitudes of tens of thousands of meters, the Xingtian Type can also engage in combat effectively.

If there's a place where the Xingtian Type 1 cannot adapt, it might only be space.

At least on Earth, there's no combat environment that the Xingtian Type can't adapt to.

The Xingtian Type does not yet have space combat capabilities and cannot fight in the universe.

This is due to technological limitations. To make humanoid armor combat-capable in space, the technical conditions are not yet met by Jiang Cheng.

If the Xingtian Type could combat in space, it wouldn't just be a humanoid armor, but a true mecha.

The main difference between humanoid armor and mecha is whether they can fight in space.

Mechas are the product of humanoid armor developing to a certain extent and are the primary battle tools of the space age.

Creating a true mecha requires many very advanced technologies.

Firstly, power is a major issue, as the power source needed for a mecha is far greater than that for humanoid armor.

The existing fusion reactors cannot meet the needs of mechas; a more powerful energy source is required.

Jiang Cheng currently cannot produce a better energy source; the fusion reactor is already the best, so mechas remain just a fantasy.

Besides energy, mechas have high requirements for materials, with the hardness of each part needing to be extremely high.

Don't be deceived by the superiority of the newly developed ultra-composite titanium alloy by Jiang Cheng; it still doesn't meet the requirements of a mecha.

A true mecha requires material strength at least ten times that of ultra-composite titanium alloy.

Only with such strong materials can it adapt to the environment of space.

The Xingtian Type is unable to combat in space mainly due to insufficient body strength.

These conditions can't be achieved by Jiang Cheng now, and he is still far from meeting these conditions.

So Jiang Cheng can't create a true mecha yet and can only make some humanoid armor for temporary use.

However, with the continuous advancement of human technology, eventually, one day Jiang Cheng will be able to create a true mecha.

Given the current rapid pace of technological advancement, perhaps it will be only a few years before Jiang Cheng can produce a real mecha.

The reason Jiang Cheng agreed to the Fungus Faction's request is also to make technical accumulations.

Although the Xingtian Type 1 is just a humanoid armor, with a much lower technical difficulty than a mecha.

But in the process of manufacturing the Xingtian Type, Jiang Cheng still learned a lot of experience.

As Jiang Cheng continues to make more advanced humanoid armor, the experience accumulated for mechas becomes even richer.

Once the external conditions meet the requirements, Jiang Cheng will quickly be able to produce a real mecha.

Now the Xingtian Type has completed its manufacturing process, and this new generation of humanoid armor has officially appeared in the world.

In the future, the Xingtian Type will be the main equipment of the Flame Country's Fungus Faction, slowly phasing out the previous Iron Man armor.

With a Fungus Person piloting the Xingtian Type, they can simultaneously handle five opponents equipped with Iron Man armor.

The overall combat ability of the Xingtian Type is more than five times that of the Iron Man Armor.

Having acquired this new type of armor, the gap between the Flame Country and other nations has once again widened.

After Jiang Cheng finished his work, he immediately contacted the Fungus Faction.

Now that Jiang Cheng has completed his work and fulfilled the Fungus Faction's previous request, the next step is for the Fungus Faction to arrive for inspection.

Although the combat power of the Xingtian Type far exceeds that of the Iron Man Armor, the Fungus Faction still needs to conduct tests before they can start the equipment replacement process.

After all, the Iron Man Armor has been in use for a very long time, and everyone is already familiar with it.

If they cannot confirm the combat power of the Xingtian Type, the Fungus Faction will not be at ease.

The testing of the Xingtian Type 1 will once again take place in the previous secret base.

This secret base has now become the main base of the humanoid armor forces, with the best personnel and facilities in the country.

So, placing the testing of this new generation of humanoid armor here is most appropriate.

Jiang Cheng, as the designer of the Xingtian Type, naturally participates in this test.

After confirming the test time, Jiang Cheng set off with the Xingtian Type 1.

Returning once again to this familiar secret base, Jiang Cheng noticed that the changes here were quite significant.

Previously, this secret base was used for exercises, but now it is the largest humanoid armor base.

Therefore, renovations were inevitable, and many new buildings serving armor services were added inside the base.

Some buildings are responsible for the daily maintenance of humanoid armor, while others are for routine pilot training.

Jiang Cheng arrived at this base with the latest Xingtian Type 1, ready to begin performance testing.

The Fungus Faction places great importance on today's test, with many of their top executives present.

Everyone is here to see if the combat power of the Xingtian Type is sufficient to replace the existing Iron Man armor.

This test mainly involves realistic combat drills, allowing Fungus People to pilot Xingtian Types to engage in confrontation exercises with Iron Man.

The Fungus Faction intends to test the real combat potential of the Xingtian Type 1 through this approach, which is close to actual combat.

Jiang Cheng, along with a group of prominent figures from the Fungus Faction, stood around a small training ground, waiting for the test that was about to begin.

This training ground is where the Fungus Faction routinely trains humanoid armor operators. With comprehensive equipment, it is a very suitable venue for this test.

In the middle of the training ground stood a black armor, currently performing some adaptive activities.

The Xingtian Type is piloted by an experienced Fungus Person. However, since this is his first time operating such a new type of armor, he needs some time to acclimate before he can control it freely.

Standing opposite the Xingtian Type are five Iron Man armors, controlled by equally seasoned veteran operators.

They don't need to perform any adaptive activities, as the Iron Man armor is something they use every day.

Having undergone years of intensive training, they have long since turned controlling these armors into a natural instinct.

The Iron Man armor feels like an extension of their body, making it as easy to control as eating or drinking.

Thus, they don't need any adjustment and can perfectly control the armor they wear.

Once the operator of the Xingtian Type is familiar with the armor's control, the test will officially begin.
