-----------
Inside a laboratory.
Elizabeth, Rommel, and other high-level officials looked up at the huge humanoid armor, its height was more than 10 meters.
It looked very impressive but after actually taking a careful look, then you will find out that this thing was extremely simple in appearance. There was nothing too complicated in it. Instead of iron armor, one might as well say that it was a giant iron frame.
After a few moments, someone raised a question.
"Can this thing... move?" A Scientist asked.
"Ahem..." Denny coughed a few times, and said, "It's currently... not able to move."
While saying this, he was slightly embarrassed.
"Then what's the use of that?!" This Scientist asked again.
"Right now... it's useless." Denny's expression became even more unnatural.
"Oh." All the Scientists who came to visit nodded slightly and the glint of interest in their eyes was gone right away. It turned out to be a decoration so it was useless. A weird project like Denny, inside the Astra Militarum, there were quite a few. It started with Dr. Chen who developed the super zombie virus!
"Although this thing is useless at the moment, but..." Seeing everyone's disapproving expressions, Denny hurriedly explained: "It will be able to exert a very powerful role in the future. Just give me a little more time, I'm sure I'll be able to create something that can move."
"With all due respect," A new Scientist said, "Even if this thing can move, but with such a large size, what kind of power do you think will get it moving fast?"
Denny was slightly taken aback, he had overlooked this issue. He was very knowledgeable about the materials, one could say that within the Astra Militarum, he was second to none in this area. But in terms of power, it had a lot to do with energy and he didn't know much about it!
With the current tech level of the Imperium, the energy sector was just getting started. The main source of energy was still coal and oil had only just come out.
"I think..." This Scientist paused for a moment and said, "You might consider shrinking this thing a bit and building a smaller version. It's a little unrealistic to be so big all at once."
"A shrunken version!?" Denny was dumbfounded. Suddenly, in his head, it was like being struck by lightning. Many rays of light flashed.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that? Wouldn't a scaled-down version be more feasible?" Denny clenched his fists and he almost cried at his stupidity. All along, because of the Glory War, he saw a huge variety of Supernatural species, so he was envisioning the day when he'd be able to make machines of the same size to fight those Supernatural Species.
It's just that, not to mention these Scientists, even if it was Sebastian, he knew that according to the current technology level of the Imperium, these ideas were still too far from reality and ahead of time.
"Thank you for the reminder." A new hope was sparked in the mind of Denny. No matter how many people were there, he turned around and started another research.
The people watching him looked at each other.
"Ahem." At this time, Denis coughed lightly and said, "I called everyone here today, not to see this big iron frame, but to have other research results."
"Everyone, please look." Looking in the direction indicated by Denis, everyone saw a piece of silver and white alloy armor.
"All along, we have not studied the two metals, Starfall Iron and Vibranium, deeply enough." Denis tried his best to speak in a professional tone.
For today, he had been preparing for a long time for fear that he was not skilled enough and made a joke of it.
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"I want to tell you instead." A Scientist spoke up: "Even in the face of the various Supernatural materials of those Supernatural Species, these two metals are not in the least bit weak. However, we are still using it superficially, we haven't fully utilized their true abilities."
Elizabeth and the others were convinced. Starfall Iron and Vibranium, one could say that currently, inside the Imperium, these were the only two things that could be called magical.
"Earlier, we all used the same smelting method." Denis continued: "However, we ignored their internal molecular structure and Dr. Denny realized it. To get the most out of these two metals, you have to start with their internal structure and these armors are the product of Dr. Denny's research."
Denis took the set of silver and white armor and gave it to Elizabeth and others.
Elizabeth took it in her hand, her eyes lit up slightly and she said, "The weight should be less than 20 kilograms, so it can be worn by some Guardsmen. How's the defense? Does it inherit the effect of the alloy?"
"Complete inheritance." Denis said with great certainty, "The reason for making such an alloy armor is that although our Astra Militarum has strong firepower, its defense is a bit too weak. Once you let those Supernaturals close, that's how easy it is to create a one-sided massacre. This alloy armor, we've tested it. It can deflect large caliber bullets and the usage of the alloy is small."
Next, in a few typical experiments, there were no surprises. The effect of the alloy armor was better than the shield, but the only problem might be its weight was still a little too heavy.
Elizabeth immediately gave the order and a special alloy research group was formed, which was responsible for making further improvements to this alloy.
And from this moment on, the Guardsmen and the Imperium began to have a huge difference from the Earth. Something like bulletproof vests disappeared and it was replaced by the current alloy armor and something else even scarier behind it.
It also started with this project, the Astra Militarum had started the research and development of the "Individual Combat Project".
Earlier, almost everyone agreed that against Supernaturals, they should rely on the advantage of numbers. However, with the release of new materials, it allowed the emergence of powerful individuals and so it became a possibility.
Time continued to move forward.
Improvements to the alloy armor were slow. When Elizabeth was 42 years old, the weight was reduced to less than ten kilograms.
Meanwhile, there was a new development in the project by Denny. He succeeded in creating the first humanoid armor that could be activated. Of course, the size was much smaller than the previous behemoth of over 10 meters. But it was still not very practical.
Only one person could celebrate alone, William's aircraft research group was progressing fairly quickly. The 2nd Generation of Aircraft was developed and letting people fly had truly become a possibility.
Dr. Han's biological weapons research group, some useful and useless research, and development are like mushrooms after rain, they were released one after another.
When Elizabeth was 43 years old, the 2nd technological boom came to an end. Brand new inventions, similar to the previous historic products like the automobile, electric light, telegraph, airplane, etc, were gone. In its place, there were improvements to these inventions.
At the same time, it was the Imperium's Great Navigation Age, after the first steel ship went to sea.
Across the rough sea, the crew of the giant steel ship named "The Astra Militarum", through the telescope, found that on the opposite side a second continent. Immediately, they got excited.
"The legend turned out to be true!" A scientist who came with the team was very excited.
There were rumors that on the opposite side of the ocean, there was another piece of land. But because of the lack of shipbuilding technology, few people had ever been to the sea before.
After a short period of excitement, the crowd found a big problem. How were they going to get there? With such rough waves, even this steel ship might not be able to get through.
After discussion, the crowd decided to fight it out. They have a glimmer of wild hope inside them as they want to be the first to set foot on the 2nd Continent. The captain personally formed a team of ten and sailed a smaller boat, boldly charging towards the raging waves.
The result, well... it could be imagined, almost a total loss of troops with only one sailor surviving. It just happened to be rolled onto the beach of the 2nd continent by the waves.
"Ha ha ha." The sailor looked at this strange land and laughed out loud with excitement.
He was an insignificant man but he turned out to be the first person to set foot on this land, it was a great glory.
Under the excitement, the sailor didn't even bother to observe anything. He recklessly rushed to the dense woods behind the beach. As a result, he had not stepped even 100 meters away, a violent bear that had been hungry for several days killed him.
So far, the first contact between humans and the 2nd continent was over before it began. The people on the boat outside would go back to spread the news and a large-scale exploration was not too far away.
After observing for a while, Sebastian detached himself from the awakening space.
Ding-dong.
The doorbell suddenly sounded.
Sebastian stood up, opened the door, and saw that a strange man in uniform was found outside.
"Hello, is this student Sebastian? I am the delivery person of the school, here are the things you bought from the school mall." The uniformed man brought in a large box.
After waiting for the uniformed man to leave. Sebastian opened the big box. Inside it were 100 pieces of Origin Powers that Sebastian bought from the school mall earlier.
At the Academy, they were sold at a fair price. But if it was outside, it was more than that price. This was one of the hidden benefits of Super-Tier Academy.
With so many Origin Powers, Sebastian accelerated Greater Terra faster. One year in Greater Terra was one day outside.
Time passed day by day.
This morning was the day of what Prokopy called the so-called "Freshman Challenge". Sebastian woke up early and made himself a simple breakfast. His estate had a kitchen, and the cooking ingredients could be delivered by the school mall. Of course, he had to pay a shipping fee. Compared to eating in the cafeteria, Sebastian was more used to cooking for himself.
Not long after breakfast, there was a knock on the door outside. Sebastian opened the door and saw that standing at the door was Romy and a large group of people behind her, all of them were freshmen from the same area.
Although there was one month of summer vacation, not many candidates would let themselves go that far. The break did not last long before it was over, especially for the Super-Tier Academy with Star Space.
"You are?" Sebastian asked in confusion.
"We're specifically here to wait for you." Romy clenched her fists slightly and said, "This time, the two representatives of our State are Bailey, and the other one is you."
Sebastian nodded slightly as Prokopy had already told him. Among thirty freshmen from the State of Georgia, he and Bailey had the highest ranking. The last two to be reported were the two of them.
"There are some very strong freshmen from other places, and they got full marks on the planet diameter in the exam." Romy continued, "So our State hope is you."
It was well known that, among Level 1 Planets, the talent of each planet was judged according to its diameter. There was nothing to exaggerate.
"Those people from other States were a little too much." A freshman spoke up and said, "We haven't won a single sparring match in the past few days."
"Sebastian is also from Georgia, so what is there to be ashamed to say that not only did he not win, but he also lost badly." Another freshman said with a helpless face.
"Oh." Sebastian did not respond.
He closed the door and went straight through the crowd. Others don't mind and they follow behind, they treat Sebastian as the leader.
The group took the car and they arrived in front of the arena of the Hope's Peak Academy. The arena was very large and there were many large venues inside, each one was bigger than the Georgia Center Stadium.
When Sebastian and the others arrived, a lot of people had already come here. Outside the square, it was bustling with activity. It was not just the freshmen who entered this year, there were also those senior students who came to watch after hearing the news.
Because they were years apart from the Freshman Challenge, it attracted a lot of attention, especially since there was a Top Genius. More than that, it aroused the interest of many people.
"There are so many people." Looking at a square full of vibrant young students, many people sighed.
"Hahaha, Romy, you guys came early enough." At this time, a gruff voice came out.
Sebastian turned his head to look, it was a tall boy with a big body. A large group of people followed behind. Looking at that appearance, he should also be a freshman this year.
"He is also a freshman and is called Waylon Wright, their leader. It is said that the diameter of his planet during the college entrance examination exceeded 500 kilometers." Romy lowered her voice and said in Sebastian's ear.
"You should be the top student from Georgia this time, right?" The tall boy, Wright, looked at Sebastian and grinned, and a white tooth was revealed.
Sebastian nodded slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wright and the others were all speechless. How could this guy not follow the rules? He didn't even say hello.
"If there's nothing, I'll go first," Sebastian spoke up, he just turned around and left.
Leaving a stunned crowd behind. For Sebastian, the main reason for this visit was the "Star Space". What other geniuses and so on, he was too lazy to pay attention.
