Falcon, a graceful and deadly bird of prey that soars through the sky. The design concept of this power armor seems to also cover this meaning. In order to ensure mobility, full body protection is abandoned, and only the chest armor is equipped to focus on protecting the torso.
"It looks much lighter than the dragoon armor. How much does this armor weigh?" Ed gently brushed his palm over the armor that shone like a mirror, and asked after examining it for a moment.
"In the case of covering the power frame, the Falcon armor reduces the weight to the extreme 49kg, of which the power frame weighs 33kg. The average thickness of the front part of the chest armor can reach 7mm, even surpassing the dragoon armor, which is enough Resistant to most types of bullets," Angelica said.
"It's quite light...compared to the dragoon armor." Ed tapped the armor plate lightly with his knuckles, and the echo was quite thick, like knocking on a steel bar.
Although the weight of 49kg is still almost double the weight of a traditional full-body knight armor, considering the support of the power system, the flexibility should be closer to that of light armor.
You must know that the total armor weight of the Dragoon armor reaches a terrifying 168kg, and this is only the weight of the armor, frame and power boiler, and does not include weapons and other additional modules.
This weight is almost the limit of the standing weight of an ordinary strong adult man, not to mention how difficult it is to walk around in it - especially without a power source, which Ed only realized not long ago.
"Aren't you going to put it on and try it on?" Seeing Ed's delay in responding, Angelica turned her head and asked.
"I..." Ed suddenly chuckled. He realized that Angelica originally planned to give one of them to him, but this set of equipment was not a huge improvement for him, but instead owed him a big favor.
The exaggerated weight of 49kg and the expensive power source fuel destined that the Falcon Armor could not be worn by him on a daily basis, and could only be used during combat missions of the Divine Bureau.
As for trying to wear it out secretly, I'm afraid it's not realistic. Just like the purple flame bomb, it is very powerful, but there are too few places where it can be used.
"As the saying goes, no reward comes without reward. I appreciate your kindness, Angelica, but we have only just met, so I'm afraid I'm a little embarrassed to accept such a big gift." He declined politely.
"Why don't you keep it as a backup for now? If there is a fault that cannot be repaired in the short term, the other pair can at least be used as an emergency."
"You taught me a lot of useful knowledge. I believe that knowledge is a far more valuable asset to people than material things." Angelica said seriously.
Immediately afterwards, she was hesitant to speak, but she finally said it, with a touch of unspeakable sadness in her voice: "Actually... this power armor was originally customized for Arthur. It was just that due to the construction period, it was not available. It can be delivered to him as soon as possible." Alas, if he had received this armor earlier, might Arthur not have died?
Ed suddenly thought regretfully. Fortune plays a trick on people, and fate always differs by a hair or a thousand miles at some key forks.
"I know what you are thinking. I have thought about this repeatedly in many painful days and nights, feeling anxious and self-pitying all day long. But no matter how much I want to deny this cruel reality, what has happened cannot be changed. ”
"...I don't want it to be stored away just as a souvenir from the past. That would be meaningless, and Arthur wouldn't like it. It should be used in a more meaningful place, emitting light and heat. Just Like it is now." Angelica pressed the start trigger, and the crystal dust reactor made a ringing sound as clear as a bell, and then shone brightly.
The mechanical heart beats, as deep blue as the sea, and as bright as the clear sky.
"I don't know why, when we first met, I saw his shadow in you. Please accept it and let it shine." Her eyes were full of calm, and seemed to be filled with determination to move forward.
Well, now that the words have been said, it would be rude to refuse... Ed sighed softly, nodded and accepted the gift: "Thank you very much. I will try my best to live up to your kindness, and Arthur's." ." He first put on the exoskeleton frame, and then put on the breastplate.
Supported by the strength of the exoskeleton frame, the armor is indeed as light as nothing. Finally, he installed a protective goggle on the crystal dust reactor to ensure that the most critical power source would not be easily destroyed.
"How do you feel, Teacher Waikoluo? This set of equipment is still in the testing stage. If you have any comments or suggestions, you are welcome to give us feedback at any time. I will record it carefully and return it to the design institute." Ed took out the gun holster at his waist. The Volcano pistol turned around in his hand with the safety off.
Since there are no hand armors or arm armors, and the support logic of the exoskeleton is different, he can easily and flexibly use weapons commonly used in daily life: "It's quite flexible, and I don't feel any problems for the time being. I will tell you if I think of it one day. ." Ed said with a satisfied smile.
"Oh, that's right. Actually, it's called the Falcon Armor for a reason, because it also has a matching set of equipment..." Angelica looked at Ed and the Falcon Armor up and down, suddenly remembered something and said, "What are you doing today?" Are you free this afternoon?"
