Chapter 250 - 250 The Red Heart Province's Cutting-Edge Technology
250 The Red Heart Province’s Cutting-Edge Technology
The cultivator wearing the kinetic armor hovered about three meters above the ground. The large blade in his right hand was constantly shooting out ion flames, while the silver half-body shield in his left hand was glowing.
Under the sunlight, the cultivator resembled a grim reaper. He charged directly at the spatial crack on the battlefield.
Everyone in the meeting room could not help but break out in cold sweat as they looked at the hundreds of ferocious beasts in the distance.
There was no lack of Rank 6 beasts among them, and there were also many huge beasts that were nearly four meters tall.
If they charged in directly, it would be very hard for them to escape unscathed unless they were seven-star cultivators!
However, the cultivator wearing the armor continued to charge forward, diving down and slashing at the closest Green Luan Vulture.
The beast flapped its wings and protected its entire body with its shining metal wings.
However, the fiery-red ion flames instantly cut off more than half of the eagle’s wings. Even the Green Luan Vulture’s neck, which was as thick as its thigh, was sliced off.
Its dark red blood did not even have a chance to spurt out from the wound before the scorching ion flame burned it. Even the bowl-sized wound on the beast’s neck was cauterized.
The cultivator wearing the armor did not stop after killing the Rank 5 Green Luan Vulture. He immediately moved on to the next beast.
On the battlefield, he flew in the air alone, like a butterfly dancing on the tip of a blade.
As long as the ferocious beast he faced was lower than Rank 6, their battle would come to a swift end.
Not long after, the hundred or so beasts, including four Rank 6 monsters, were completely annihilated by the armored cultivator!
The efficiency with which he killed the berserk beasts left the members in the meeting room speechless.
Soon, the scene on the screen dimmed until it completely disappeared.
Everyone exchanged looks, and their hearts were stirred by the armor.
First of all, the footage depicted several good points.
For example, its effects could last for a long time. It enabled the cultivator to kill hundreds of beasts at once, and its energy was extremely stable. There should be no problem fighting for a few hours with it.
The lightness of the blade was also extremely important. The flaming blade was about two meters long, but it performed so well that it must have been made of light materials.
The same was true for the silver shield. Despite holding it for a long time, the cultivator did not feel tired at all.
The most vital part, however, was speed. The footage showed that the cultivator’s speed was no different from a normal car, reaching a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour.
This also greatly solved any issues of the equipment being heavy.
Above all, it demonstrated its efficiency in killing the rampaging beasts. The several hundred beasts of different strengths were all killed in less than 20 minutes. In this aspect, it surpassed the vast majority of equipment on the market!
Just from this point, one could tell that the current development of Divine weapon technology in the Red Heart province had already reached the most advanced stage.
The others felt that this suit of armor had the same effects as the Spirit Wave Sword.
It also used technology and spiritual power. For example, the shoes that the cultivator wore had the function of an ejector, which was the embodiment of modern technology.
However, the suit of armor consumed a lot of energy on the move. It probably utilized some kind of ore that was full of energy.
“Huh? Why do I find the designer, who developed the armor in the footage, a little familiar?”
As the crowd recollected their thoughts, one of them thought of something and immediately voiced it out.
As soon as he spoke, Wu Mo immediately recalled the previous scene.
After going through it in his mind, he suddenly appeared surprised.
“Chu Qingyan…”
He recalled his previous memories and immediately uttered a somewhat familiar name.
That’s right, he was very sure that the designer standing on the left in the introduction was one of his previous partners. They had been in the same group to improve the ninth-generation standard combat suit a few months ago.
At that time, there were a total of five team members, including him. They had formed an assault team and participated in the development of armor together. The Invisibility Armor had been developed in that large environment.
Right now, he still remembered the other four people from that time, namely Feng Qi, Lai Hua, Zhang Yuan, and Chu Qingyan.
In their tests, he had the highest score, followed by Chu Qingyan. Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, could not even complete the test because he did not meet one of the attributes’ standards.
Thinking of this, Wu Mo suddenly grew suspicious.
A few months ago, Chu Qingyan was still a young researcher at the fifth Research Department. How did he abruptly become a designer for the Red Heart province?
His mind was filled with questions. At this moment, everyone else realized the problem too. They all looked at Professor Tan, who was sitting next to Professor Liu.
If everyone’s memory was correct, Chu Qingyan should have been Professor Tan’s last student.
“Um… Two months ago, Chu Qingyan terminated our mentor-mentee relationship and left the Research Department on his own. I didn’t know about this at all.”
Professor Tan looked a little embarrassed. Although the matter had nothing to do with him, Chu Qingyan had been his apprentice for nearly a year.
Now that Chu Qingyan had become a talent of the Red Heart province and even developed such a powerful battle armor, he, who had once been a master, had lost face.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the meeting room, Xu Wuyue immediately cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, there’s no need to care too much about such a thing. Everyone has their own aspirations. Since the boy feels that the Red Heart region is more beneficial for his development, then let him be.
“In any case, he is still loyal to our Nine Provinces territory. As an elder of the Research Department, Professor Tan certainly wouldn’t have wanted such a thing to happen. Let’s just put this matter behind us.”
When Academician Xu spoke, everyone immediately collected themselves.
Wu Mo lowered his head in deep thought.
According to Professor Tan, Chu Qingyan left two months ago.
It was the day of the test and delivery of the improved battle armor.
Not only were Academician Xu and Professor Liu present, but Minister Wei was there too. They witnessed everything together.
Perhaps it was because he did not get the chance to continue advancing, so Chu Qingyan chose to leave.
With that thought, Wu Mo could not help but feel a trace of anger.
If he had left just like that, he would have thrown away the time and resources that the Research Department had invested in him as well as not lived up to Professor Tan’s cultivation.
He was a cold-blooded and heartless person.
“Wu Mo, what do you think of the effects of the Red Heart province’s battle armor?”
Xu Wuyue looked at Wu Mo when he saw that no one was talking.
“To answer your question, Academician Xu, according to the previous display, I have to say that the recent armor developed by the Red Heart province is indeed excellent, and the designer who developed the armor is also very creative. Even if we disregard our position, I’d still acknowledge his strength.”
Wu Mo’s words came from the bottom of his heart.
Although he did not know what Chu Qingyan had experienced in the past two months, he knew that Chu Qingyan was many times stronger than before.
