Hoop!

Everyone kicked their feet, jumping so high they were 2/3\'s the way up toward the ceiling. 

Mind you, the dome-shape structure was as high as 3 stories tall. 

Of course, the one\'s ground floor was far underground too. 

Amazing!

"With the latest Bay technology, the kick power can help you climb higher heights and scout your targeted regions if your anti-gravitational belt isn\'t working. 

Hoop. Hoop. Hoop!~

Like Super Mario, the video game character, Trey, Josh, Mark, Landon and Gary and the others jumped about crazily.

The amazing thing was that when Landing from such high heights they didn\'t feel any pain in their soles at all. 

The impact felt like they had only jumped an inch from the ground.

 Great stuff!

Up next, they tested how much load they could carry in this state. 

After all, they must know if the suit was suitable for rescue missions. 

Landon already had the answer but still wanted to try. 

A dummy stuffed with weights was given to him and the others, as they carried their \'rescued\' dummies in princess-style and other ways that would be convenient for them during missions.

Success!

They hardly felt a thing. 

In truth, Watson had just confirmed that they should be able to lift moderately boulders, about Landon\'s height, and as wide as an 8-seater dining table. 

Once again, everyone was impressed.

They also did communication checks, before walking to one end of the dome that had an extremely thick protective glass. 

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we will test the detonation capabilities of these suits. If the ministers would be so kind as to assist, that would be great."

Say no more.

Many people almost raised their hands anxiously like school children, wishing Watson would pick them. 

They said <almost>, alright? Coughing to hide their enthusiasm, a few spoke out swiftly, though acting as though they weren\'t in a hurry. 

"As they say, time is money, so I shall do it."

"Yes, yes, yes... I too hate the notion of wasting time. Let me join in on the fun."

Watson chuckled but said nothing, as he gave the volunteers, watches for the few suits in the 

Protected safely. 

People in protective suits went in and took off the red covers, revealing the mecha suits in the space. 

Looking at their watches they gave an okay signal with their thumbs to Watson.

They checked the conditions of each suit, ensuring everything was functional. 

Their protective suits, though baggy, still fitted into the mecha suit. 

"All Close!"

Vmmmm~The Mecha closed them in from the back like a cacoon. 

"Eject now and evacuate!"

Brrrmmm~

A smooth noise echoed and the gang left without nostalgia, heading out of the protective space as fast as they could. 

[40 seconds to detonation.]

The words appeared on their watches.

[38 seconds to detonation.]

"STOP!"

With Watson\'s instructions, they opened a small tiny safety cap above a blue button and pulled out what seemed like an overly thin needle/nail disguised as the watch\'s top left button. 

Very quickly, they used it to press the impossibly small blue button. 

No fingers can press it. Only something so tiny, it looked even thinner than a hospital needle. 

At 27 seconds to detonation, they all stopped the process. 

Phew~

If anyone from Earth saw this scene they would say they acted similar to movie characters who were defusing bombs in crazy limited time frames and conditions.

The ministers also admired the button designs, making it impossible for anyone to press them by accident.

Even if you don\'t stop your suit from detonating, big deal... at least the suit won\'t fall into enemy hands.

Of course, training will be in order, to get the soldiers to respond swifter than they did when clicking the buttons.

Don\'t look down on this kind of training.

It was akin to knowing how to dismantle and regroup the parts of a gun in the fastest time frame possible

 Why? Because in the field every second counts. 

The longer you spend doing something like this the more opportunity you give the enemy time to shoot you when you\'re not paying attention. 

Hidden arrows smeared with poison were still a problem.

Don\'t think you\'re omnipotent because you\'re got technology.

Laziness, arrogance, and disregard for time were the biggest sins one can commit against themselves. 

The many military personnel frowned. 

Too slow. 

They weren\'t happy with their actions.

. 

Very quickly, many also checked the poisoning with their watches, getting a better understanding of its capabilities. 

Yes! 

Watson examined it very well. I think you should take a look at

On the watch\'s screen space, all they could see were 2 green triangular images now facing each other. 

When the volunteers turned, one of the green triangles would have its lead pointy end turn too. 

Like a compass, it was looking for the right way to go. Of course, the moment it turned in the opposite direction, the triangle also changed from green to yellow. 

Eh? 

Why not red, as Watson said earlier? "If it\'s red, then it means the distance between you and the suit is farther than you think. Once you get close enough to the suit, the triangle turns green."

"Incredible!"

Everyone\'s face trembled in amazement

 Never in their lives had they believed such a thing was possible.

Seeing them like this, Landon wondered how they would react when he finally created a Real GPS that showed roads, lakes, hills, and even the vast their workplaces.

With how much they easily dropped to their knees to worship the heavenly device, Landon wondered if he wouldn\'t cause them to have blissful heart attacks by then.

As Watson said, the screen showed nothing else but the 2 dots so you won\'t even know if the suit is surrounded by enemies until you get close enough to its location.

This means extra care must be taken when looking for it. 

Welp

 If you do find the suit and it\'s in enemy hands just continue detonation and walk away.

It\'s not your problem anymore.

.

Alright. 

Time to move on. 

Watson was pleased, as he sent his subordinates back into the protective space again. 

They were to impute the code... the unique code each suit has.

They only had 3 chances to get it right before the suit does self countdown to detonation again. And this time, the volunteers won\'t be able to stop the countdown once it begins. 

Leaning closer to the protective glass screens, everyone watched the group do as Watson instructed. 

Everyone except 1 person, imputed the right code, allowing the suit to open again.

Finally, it was the last person\'s turn. 

She purposefully did it wrong thrice, activating the self-detonation mode before leaving the ace as fast as she could. 

Great! 

Now they could finally see things blow up!

(^_^)

Could they say it\'s part of human nature to like watching explosions, demolitions, and other modes of breaking things down?

For some reason, it was very satisfying and thrilling to watch.

[13 Seconds to detonation.]

[10 seconds to detonation.]

9.... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2...

Everyone wished they suddenly had popcorn in their hands. 

[1]

 Tack! Tack! Tack! Tack! Tack!

The suit started smoothing up from the inside.

The smoking phase lasted for a full 2 minutes and 20 seconds. 

You look at me; I look at you.

The ministers and military personnel all stared at themselves in confusion.

Eh? Shouldn\'t there be some sort of explosion happening by now?

BOOM!

Many jumped back, not expecting the explosion after their initial disappointment at all.

Sweet mother of Pearl!

Brilliant! 

Should an enemy see if smoking, they might think of running away first. But After a while of nothing happening, they\'ll come closer, only to have it exude in their faces! (+0+) 

Take that, Morgs! 

Some might see the smoke and pour water from their jugs and dirt into it, thinking there was a bigger inside to be put out. 

Heh. 

Either way, it\'s a great surprise. 

But the reason for the long delay wasn\'t particularly for the enemy but for the Baymardain soldiers instead.

It gave them even more time to go as far away as they could. 

.

Boom!

The explosion sent the highly modified metal parts flying so fast in the air that if they met any human, they might be sliced in half so cleanly they wouldn\'t even feel the pain till their last breath. 

It\'s normal for explosions to cause injuries and death. 

Even the world\'s current black powder did some damage, sending shock waves that could throw daggers into passerbys or close in close enough ranges.

It\'s TRUE that the force was weak and not near what Baymard\'s missiles and cannons could do, but it was still dangerous... though you might not necessarily die from its attack, but have deep wounds instead.

However, Baymard\'s gunpowder can leave your limbs exuding and flying about maniacally.

Sometimes, swords could also be sent slicing their opponents too.

However, the slicing force was nowhere near what would happen if any of these enhanced metal parts touched a person after the suit exploded.

So yes.

With the initial 40-second countdown, as well as the 2 minutes and 20 seconds of the smoking phase, the soldiers damn well had enough time to find a large tree or surface to take cover.
