Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 388: Chapter 272: Biological Armor (Part Two)

However, the physique of the genetic warriors, regarding their tolerance to extreme environments, was much higher than that of ordinary people.

When the flames blazed, it took a while before Miao Lun felt his skin getting hot and instinctively began to pull his hand back.

But this was enough to astonish Miao Lun; this thin clothing offered fire resistance comparable to the professional fireproof and heat-insulating suits worn by firefighters.

Yet, the firefighters’ gear was heavy and bulky, whereas this piece of clothing was incredibly light and thin, beyond compare.

Su Jie had someone bring a thermal imaging detector, and as the device scanned, despite the large heat source of the human body, the device couldn’t detect any temperature difference between the body and the surrounding environment.

“This type of clothing is called Tianyuan Protective Clothing, available in three grades. The one you’re wearing is the highest quality, capable of being fireproof and waterproof, absorbing sweat, preserving warmth, and immune to thermal imaging reconnaissance,”

Su Jie began to introduce the clothing, which was actually inspired by the Magic Robes worn by Righteous Disciples during the Sect Wars.

Because the Gu Masters of Ghost Ridge Palace had a significant advantage in insect control reconnaissance, the Righteous Sects specially refined these Magic Robes that could suppress the cultivator’s aura, camouflage it as flora to avoid detection by insects’ olfactory and thermal senses and biological radars, and even actively release special pheromones to blur the insects’ senses, causing them to misjudge.

Having killed many Righteous Disciples in the Sect Wars, these robes were common loot for Su Jie. He handed them over to the Refining Hall, where they were disassembled, reprocessed, and redesigned according to Su Jie’s specifications.

This new style of Tianyuan Protective Clothing did not need that many features, and since genetic warriors lacked Spiritual Power, they could not utilize it well. More importantly, they were cheaper; Su Jie did not have the vast wealth of the Righteous Sects to supply every soldier.

Aside from the highest grade of Tianyuan Protective Clothing, which was manufactured by the Refining Hall, there was a second-grade protective clothing for Super Soldiers and a third-grade used by ordinary soldiers, all of which were produced in Jieke Group’s factories using materials provided by Su Jie. Naturally, the quality decreased progressively, and the lowest grade only had the basic function of evading thermal imaging detection.

“General Su, are these issued to us?”

Miao Lun and the surrounding genetic warriors all lit up, these Tianyuan Protective Suits matched their desires.

“Everyone gets one,”

Su Jie smiled and nodded, then began to introduce other new equipment.

“This is called an Eye Worm. You can think of it as a personal drone that accompanies you, but it is a biological type.”

Su Jie picked up a small fleshy worm about the size of a palm which resembled a common beetle, with six pairs of thin, wing-like appendages and four large compound eyes.

“Stretch out your hand,”

Su Jie gestured for Miao Lun to extend his palm.

Miao Lun did as instructed, and Su Jie placed the Eye Worm on Miao Lun’s palm. A needle-like tube, similar to that of a mosquito, pierced into the crevices of Miao Lun’s skin. Through the semi-transparent tube, it was possible to see blood being drawn.

Miao Lun watched curiously, making no move to stop it.

As the Eye Worm absorbed enough blood, its entire body glowed blood-red, appearing like a vivid, translucent, red amber.

Buzz, buzz!

The Eye Worm took off from Miao Lun’s palm, and simultaneously, a strange sensation rose within Miao Lun.

“Try directing it,”

Su Jie patted Miao Lun’s shoulder, pointing to the Eye Worm that continued to climb higher.

Miao Lun blinked, and the next moment, following that curious connection, he suddenly felt his view changing.

His perspective was elevating, transforming into a bird’s-eye view of the ground, as if he was flying in the sky.

This was the Eye Worm’s viewpoint; his vision was partially merged with the Eye Worm’s, enabling him to conduct reconnaissance through the ultra-wide-angle view of its compound eyes.

Moreover, the Eye Worm could move according to his will, whether it was low-altitude flight, high-altitude hovering, or adjusting the observational angle both zooming in and out.

“It actually overlaps with the perspective of the insect.”

Miao Lun’s mouth dropped open in shock, he had never seen such exaggerated biotechnology.

Humans can control the movement of a mouse on a screen using brainwaves, which is already considered extremely advanced technology.

However, the technology owned by Jieke Group allowed for remote insect control through thoughts and sensory links with the insects.

This unimaginable biotechnology had surpassed Miao Lun’s understanding; he had no idea how it was achieved through scientific technology.

“These eye worms can be controlled by you within a flying radius of three kilometers, and can fly up to one thousand meters high. Using their unique insect compound eyes, they can observe distant enemy movements, compensating for the deficiencies in your reconnaissance abilities when you operate alone,”

Su Jie slowly explained. After his advancement to the Secret Realm, he had the ability to use spirit stones to modify poisonous insects, like the thousand-hand centipede, whose giant mandibles were a result of such modifications.

Similarly, the insects of the Blue Star could be modified.

Su Jie chose a type of compound-eyed insect from Southeast Asia and, after numerous biological modification attempts and multiple failures, he finally cultivated the eye worm, a mature surveillance insect species excelling in clarity of reconnaissance, flight speed, altitude, and range of vision.

Moreover, these eye worms were not picky eaters and easy to sustain; they required only some spirit stone fragments and host blood to maintain productivity. Fed once, they could stay active for half a month, with an extremely long standby time.

“All of you, genetic warriors and super soldiers, will be equipped with this type of eye worm as part of your auxiliary reconnaissance equipment,”

Su Jie said, exciting the genetic warriors present. Such a biological surveillance device, synchronizing with a person’s thoughts, brought unimaginable convenience.

Drone surveillance still required human control, then information transmission via radio waves, and verbal relay from others, which definitely did not provide as high a level of awareness as seeing with one’s own eyes.

Moreover, the clarity and range of the eye worms’ surveillance were beyond what many small drones could achieve.

“Finally, let’s look at this piece of equipment, which I have named the Z-Type 1 Auxiliary Biological Armor, bulletproof, shock-resistant, and gas-proof,”

Su Jie then picked up a suit of armor constructed of biological and metallic elements.

This armor, reaching 3 meters in height, had a surface of cold, thick matte metal, inside which one could see writhing fascia and a metallic skeleton.

This armor was also Su Jie’s latest masterpiece, inspired by the combat puppets of the Puppet Hall.

Using his strong ability to modify insects, and also consulting Tang Peiqing and Taoist Qiu, with assistance in design and planning from the Puppet Hall, he used several insects together in the modification and merging process, combined with metal armor, to ultimately set this design.

This set of auxiliary biological armor had a defense capability that was a level above the previous alloy heavy armor and also possessed a powerful ammunition carrying capacity.

In the past, although the soldiers of the Steel Camp were powerful, the ammunition and weapons they carried individually were limited.

For instance, Miao Lun, who carried a 14.5 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun, could only carry a small amount of ammunition, leaving no room for more.

This often led to dire situations on the battlefield where Steel Camp soldiers would quickly run out of ammunition and have to fight using the enemy’s weapons.

Not to mention suitability, many times it was difficult to find a weapon that fit perfectly, and many Steel Camp soldiers were killed during this process.

As a result, Steel Camp soldiers would instinctively conserve ammunition upon entering the battlefield, undoubtedly limiting the killing power of super soldiers.

But this biological armor would solve that problem.

Miao Lun stepped forward excitedly, and after binding with the biological armor through his blood, the back of the armor split open to reveal its internal structure.

The inside of the armor was creepy, with writhing flesh and fascia.

Miao Lun stepped forward, placed his hands and feet in the designated positions, and the entire armor slowly closed around him; the facial area of the armor consisted of high-impact bulletproof glass and thin film, allowing a clear view of the surroundings.

In an instant, a figure three meters tall, clad in metallic armor, resembling a single soldier mecha from a sci-fi movie, spectacularly emerged at the scene.
