I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Nora Camp sized him up, and once again she felt like she couldn’t understand this strange, lazy man.

It’s too unusual, no one who ranks first in the whole army would be this lazy.

Is this his true nature, or is it the genetic drawback of a synthetic person?

This doubt made Nora change her initial idea a little, instead of proposing her initial plan, she asked, “So, which battleship are you planning to choose?”

Harrison Clark shook his head, “I haven’t decided yet. I haven’t even seen the information, so I can’t make a decision. I’ll think about it later.”

“How about joining my Giant Wave? I forgot to mention that the Giant Wave named after me is a top ten escort ship in the whole army. Do you know what the top ten means?”

Harrison Clark nodded, “I know.”

Not wanting to let the cooked duck fly away, Nora continued to introduce, “The full name of the Giant Wave is The Giant Wave 008, which is one of the few space battle-level ships in the entire escort fleet. Its equipment is the most advanced in every aspect.”

Harrison Clark showed a little interest, but immediately became alert, “During the battle, is the Giant Wave at the front line or lurking in the back?”

He had already made a decision.

If the Giant Wave’s position was at the front of the formation, based on his memory, it would be the first to be blown up, and he definitely couldn’t go there.

If it was in the far back, he could survive for a few more seconds, which met his selection criteria, and he could sell Nora a favor.

“I can’t tell you too much about the specific military deployment, but I can simply tell you that the Giant Wave is responsible for the side wings, and it’s one of the main flagships of the side wing fleet.”

“Oh, that’s impressive. I’ll think about it later.”

“Alright, no need to rush to reply.”

Nora didn’t press further when they seemed to have talked enough.

After the feast, Daniel Thompson and Harrison Clark walked side by side towards the dormitory area.

Daniel Thompson said regretfully, “You’ve changed your dormitory again, moving to a higher level. We won’t be neighbors anymore.”

Harrison Clark asked, “Can I not move?”

“No.”

“So, I don’t even have the right to choose where I live?”

Daniel Thompson thought for a moment, “Well, not exactly. You’ve shown your ability and potential, so you deserve better treatment. A better living environment can make you more engaged in the following training and tap into more of your potential.”

Harrison Clark smirked, “To become a better soldier and kill more potential enemies on the battlefield, right?”

“Yes.”

“What a considerate policy.”

“Of course.”

Harrison Clark suddenly asked, “So, what kind of enemy are we going to fight? Can you tell me, Lion?”

Daniel Thompson hesitated, “According to regulations, I can’t tell you until you’re outfitted with Azure Dragon Armor. But I can only tell you that we don’t have much time left. That’s why we need to train harder. As long as we can survive this crisis, humanity can be reborn like in the movie ‘The Fire’ and truly be free in the universe.”

“Hmm, a great ideal.” Harrison Clark smiled and returned to his room.

He couldn’t decide if he should admire Lion’s great sentiments or grieve for Lion’s meaningless spirit of sacrifice.

There’s no hope, Lion.

We haven’t even seen the real enemy, and everyone’s just playing around.

Even if the Azure Dragon Armor is used to its full potential, it’ll just be a firework display.

The next day, Harrison Clark was taken to the Black Bear Training Base’s Equipment Department, where his Azure Dragon Armor was already on display.

“Yesterday, right after your match ended, the General Assembly Department began customizing this Azure Dragon Armor based on your body data. It was delivered here at seven o’clock this morning, and I hope you like it.”

Professor Owen proudly introduced him.

After finishing his introduction, he quickly pulled away the curtain, revealing the streamlined, beautiful metallic object about 2.8 meters tall inside.

Harrison Clark asked with confusion, “Isn’t the inner structure supposed to be adjustable to the user’s body shape for automatic adaptation?”Professor Owen proudly said, “That’s just the standard mass-produced version, but customization tailored for a specific individual will always be better than mass-production. A great horse needs a great saddle, and the Azure Dragon Armor that perfectly coordinates with your body will help you perform better. On the battlefield, even the smallest mistake could cost you your life.”

Harrison Clark looked around, sizing up the metal beast with satisfaction.

“Looks like winning the whole army competition was worth it.”

“Yes, special armor is the champion’s reward. Alas, the customization is only for the support parts, and the maximum acceleration performance of this armor is still only 20G.”

Harrison Clark frowned and asked, “Why? Can’t the limit be removed?”

“You can withstand greater acceleration, but the material of the machine doesn’t allow it. With this limit, even forcibly increasing the acceleration ability of mass-produced models just a little bit will cause immense stress on the material structure and greatly increase the failure rate. You wouldn’t want to be stranded in space, would you?”

Harrison Clark didn’t ask the obvious question of why they didn’t just strengthen the material.

By this point, the reason they hadn’t used enhanced materials was clear – they simply didn’t have them. This was already the pinnacle of current technological capabilities.

Moreover, adjusting the mechanical structure would affect the overall system. Even a slight increase in the upper limit would involve improving every aspect of the armor.

Professor Owen handed over a box.

“Take this, it’s your serum. One box for each use, with ten vials in each box. Regular Azure Dragon Armor operators only have a quota of one box per month, but you have three. However, you probably won’t use them all up, so keep them safe for now.”

Harrison Clark opened the box and saw that it contained ten neatly arranged syringes, each filled with a pale yellow liquid.

The volume of each syringe was quite large, with 50ml of serum.

The sound of footsteps approaching echoed, and it turned out to be Daniel Thompson running over in his Azure Dragon Armor.

Daniel Thompson said, “Harrison, you go on the machine first. I’ll brief you on the weapon configuration on the actual machine, so you don’t have to repeat the basics.”

Harrison Clark nodded, “Alright.”

The weapon configuration of the Azure Dragon Armor was not complex, and Harrison Clark learned it quickly, taking less than twenty minutes.

The weapons were shields, knives, guns, and some high-explosive bombs.

The shield was made of alloy, the same material as the Azure Dragon Armor itself, but thicker and with a better structure.

The knife was an Electromagnetic Oscillating Kinetic Knife, which used high-frequency electromagnetic oscillation for cutting. It could slice through over a meter-thick alloy like tofu, and even the Azure Dragon Armor’s own armor couldn’t resist it.

This weapon was not initially designed with internal Azure Dragon Armor combat in mind.

Because the imaginary enemies the Azure Dragon Armor had to face were never humans, the more powerful the weapon, the better.

The gun was a High Energy Compressed Ion Beam Rifle.

Although the ion beam rifle seemed similar to the laser guns in science fiction movies that shoot out a long beam of light with a ‘biu’ sound, the underlying principle was fundamentally different.

Beam rifles had no bullets; what they fired was highly compressed ionic energy. Upon impact with a solid or liquid, the energy would cause a huge explosion due to a chain reaction of collisions.

The explosive force of each shot from the beam rifle was equivalent to about 30 kilograms of TNT.

The ion beam traveled at nearly the speed of light but did not reach it.

The recoil from the gun was also considerable; even the most elite soldiers had to wear the Azure Dragon Armor to withstand it. Otherwise, they would be thrown back, and their shoulders would be dislocated.

As for the high-explosive bombs, they were a type of weapon that completely baffled Harrison Clark just by reading the manual; he had no idea what principle they used, only that their small-scale explosive power was even higher than nuclear fusion.

Luckily, he didn’t have to learn how to make them – just use them.

The destructive power of the high-explosive bombs was astonishing. Each bomb was only the size of a fingernail, but the ensuing explosion could easily level a skyscraper.

This was the most terrifying explosive technology humanity had mastered so far. If the bombs were made large enough, it wouldn’t be impossible to shatter the entire Earth.

The conventional weapons equipped on the Azure Dragon Armor were all very powerful, quite astonishing.

“Alright, now remember the locations of our standard weapons. The knife is on your back, the gun is under the right arm, and the bombs are stored in the compartments on the inner side of your thighs.”

Daniel Thompson instructed.

Harrison Clark raised his hand to ask a question, “Umm, Lion, having the bombs placed there is a bit…unsettling, right? Can we change the location?”

“No. According to technical statistics, this is the spot where the human body has the strongest self-protection awareness, and it is least likely to be hit by external forces. So it’s the safest place.”

Daniel Thompson’s explanation was very strong, leaving no room for rebuttal..
