The origin of this mysterious heavy combat suit can be traced back to the large-scale green-skin invasion on the Vio in the home world. Although the design level is extremely rough and the construction process is extremely simple, the tau people helplessly discovered that the firepower of the primitive ancient giant rubbish and the huge garbage mountain created by the green skin is unmatched by the current ground forces. The Fire clans fighting on the front line found that their XV8 series combat suits were difficult to adapt to the enemy's scale and required a heavier combat suit to deal with the enemy's growing powerful firepower.
Later, in the battle at Damocles Bay, when attacking the opponent's super heavy tanks and Empire Titans with existing weapons, the Fire Clan and the Aether class also saw the true strength shown by the human empire. They realized that the equipment of the tauna was indeed difficult to adapt to super-large-scale wars.
Originally, in the war of the Fire Clan, the importance of maneuver was higher than the output of firepower, and the fighting and running were higher than the waiting for assistance. A wise commander would not feel any fear of the enemy's numerical advantage, nor would he feel a little panic about the huge war machine deployed by the enemy. Through coordinated tactics, strict discipline and carefully planned combat plans, these insignificant problems could be easily overcome.
However, even Commander Qingxi, the tactical master who values ​​offense, willingly admitted after fighting the Human Empire that if a heavy combat suit can be created that can be further improved in size and armor, then the hunting of cores will be able to better deal with the increasingly common terrifying firepower.
So the Ether Council formally ordered the study of heavy combat suits, but in the following decades, the Tu clan's attempts basically failed. The early prototypes were all bulky equipment. They were either not suitable for implementing the Fire Clan's tactics or posed immeasurable risks to their wearers. The only finished product was the KV128 bombardment suit called thunderstorms, but it was too bulky and slow, and even required the deployment characteristics of Manta, which made it difficult for the Fire Clan to accept such results.
Just when the research was in a deadlock, Shou'an appeared.
This mad Tu clan scientist realized that the core problem of heavy combat suits was the power system. As long as there was a sufficiently powerful power system, mobility was not a problem.
And the choice he made was to move a ship-powered furnace to the combat suit!
The Titanium hero-class cruiser uses a dark matter reactor, which generates energy by fusing dark matter. It is also a cross-age product of the TIAN spacecraft. Shou'an is eyeing this reactor.
Most Tu clan scientists scoffed at this crazy idea, believing that it was almost impossible, because the ship's dark matter reactor was larger than a Manta, and the technical indicators required by the Fire clan were less than ten meters.
But there are still some Tu clan scientists who support Shou'an's idea. With their joint efforts, they actually did it! They have really developed a dark matter reactor with a volume controlled by the size of a fire warrior!
After many tests, this reactor was proven to be able to drive a heavy combat suit with a height of about seven meters. After discussion and trial production, the Tu clans of the new combat suit R&D team confirmed that the performance of the reactor was indeed quite stable. Although there were some safety risks, it was completely within an acceptable range. After being submitted to the Ether Parliament, it was confirmed as the energy source of the new combat suit and named it Nova Reactor.
After solving the most core problem, the development of the new combat suit immediately entered the fast lane, and ten years after the development of the Nova Reactor, a mature plan was handed over to the Ether Parliament.
The Ether Council was very satisfied with the data and performance of this combat suit, and officially determined its equipment number - XV104, codenamed [Railing], and immediately listed it as the top secret project. (Not mentioning equipment, the concentrated model of Titanium Jun's top leadership in personally catching scientific research projects is really amazing... I won't mention mechanical teaching)
Then, the representatives of Tu clans from each family brought the technology blueprint back to the home world, made some prototypes in small batches, secretly tested on their respective battlefields, and continued to improve the project after summarizing the test results, and finally completely finalized and mass-made in the third expansion preparation stage.
As a hero of the research and development of XV104, Shou'an naturally brought the result back to his hometown and built three prototypes in one go. It was just that not long after the invasion of Tyron, the star fields around the home world were swept away and even a huge dark area called "Silent Land" appeared. There were no large-scale enemies, so he had no chance to carry out large-scale testing activities. Therefore, after learning about this special military operation against Ada, he was so determined to come and preside over it in person.
When the combat suit was about to approach the target area, Katan turned off the thruster and suddenly descended to the ground. He was very confident in the combat suit's tolerance. The XV104 was far stronger than all existing combat suits.
The huge combat suit fell heavily, and the huge piston-shaped mechanical legs stomped a crazy claw demon under his feet, and the earth trembled endlessly.
Immediately afterwards, Katan activated the heavy vein rapid-fire cannon installed on his right arm, then swung his waist and bathed all the deformed skinless monsters in the whistling plasma.
The Ugurs who were biting the fire warriors were burned in an instant, and those who were not dead had to escape because of the fierce firepower.
These muscle-strong twisted creatures are obviously the opponent's biological and chemical weapons, and have never appeared on the battlefield before. Judging from their empty and aimless heads, they are obviously creatures that are highly adapted to the dark environment, specially prepared for underground combat.
In fact, their brute force is indeed terrifying. It can easily tear apart the body of the fire warrior and even the armor of the hammerhead shark. It is also very fast and moves silently.
But they are meaningless in the face of XV104.
The heavy battle passed by the charred wreckage of the Ugurs, then aimed at a dark god of death in the distance and shot out a fierce plasma bullet.
But the sniper with armor carved into skeletons immediately disappeared from the spot, drifting into the distance like a ghost, and released a dark curtain that visual equipment could not penetrate. The plasma could only sweep across the ground harmlessly.
At this time, a laser hit the side of the combat suit. Katan felt the impact, but the opponent did not penetrate the armor, so he immediately turned around and fired.
Despite the opponent's high-speed transfer, the fire control of VX104 is also the most advanced. The plasma barrage of the strafing hit the enemy's tail. The falcon shook and fell to the ground. At the same time, the hatch door bounced open suddenly, and the emergency escape device was activated. The psychic energy wrapped around two slender bodies and rushed out like lightning, leaving the dangerous range when the tank exploded.
Failed to kill those damn point-eared enemies Katan was a little regretful, but he knew his mission, so he turned to a new target to provide support to the fire warriors behind and on the side.
At the same time, under the guidance of the combat suit tactical system, two missile shield bees sped past and launched missiles in the possible direction of the enemy.
