With excellent buffering capabilities, it can withstand the shockwaves of near-miss micro-missiles, significantly reducing the burden on the user's joints during activity.
Inside the armor, Mercer further enhanced the user's physical attributes by incorporating the design of the Nanometer Combat Suit, similar to the black battle suits in GANTZ manga.
This Nanometer Combat Suit can enhance muscle strength directly through nanotechnology, similar to the battle suits worn by high-level warriors in the Netherworld Dog.
Beyond the high cost of the armor, Mercer also adopted electric drive enhancement instead of mechanical boost. Compared to mechanical pressure, electric drive offers faster compression and response speed.
It can provide timely boost in the high-speed state of Sianwistan, avoiding the mechanical response speed lagging behind the human speed during mechanical compression.
The compression propulsion device abandons hybrid oil-electric drive, opting for pure electric drive. Thanks to the ultra-lightweight Nano Armor, Mercer placed a super battery on the back, protected by a mix of Nano Armor and explosion-proof armor.
This battery allows the mech, with a total weight not exceeding 120KG, to reach a top flight speed of 520KM/H while carrying an additional 80KG human weight, and a super speed of 300KM/H during ground sprinting.
And it can sustain maximum power combat for a minimum of half an hour with the battery being rechargeable either by replacement or direct plug-in charging.
If the battery runs out, the mech shifts to bioelectric drive, allowing for nimble movement and low-intensity electric enhancement, even if full-power acceleration and flight aren't possible.
And this running speed refers to a nimble movement speed—can you imagine? A person can travel a maximum of 83.3 meters in one second.
What kind of concept is this?
One second she is a hundred meters away, the next, she's right in your face!
And this is just about speed boost over long distances. In close combat, due to the unique full-body electric drive enhancement, she would only appear to be faster than running speed.
Mercer measured the speed of a full-power arm swing in the electric drive state, roughly taking 0.13 seconds to complete a swing with the Mantis Blade.
And if V himself wears this mech, activates Sianwistan, and uses the nanometal muscle-enhanced battle suit to swing the blade, the calculation shows the entire swing can be completed in a terrifying 0.07 seconds.
The limit response speed of an average person is about 0.12 seconds, and with Krenzikov activated, the average response speed upgrades to the range of 0.06–0.08 seconds.
In other words, if you are equipped with Krenzikov, congratulations, you have the capability to react to V swinging her blade at you.
However, it's regrettable to inform you that this reaction only means realizing you've been struck after she swings the blade, rather than having the chance to dodge it.
Unless you have enough potential to think and act at a unit of 0.1 seconds like V and Mercer under normal circumstances, and possess super cognitive acceleration to react truly at 0.01–0.03 milliseconds during acceleration.
Only then could you possibly react before V hits you after she starts the move.
But... even if you react, can you dodge it?
An opponent equally equipped with Sianwistan faces a super fast killer already equipped with muscle-enhanced prosthetics, 20-point potential, electric speed boost, and enhanced muscles from built-in Nanometer Combat Suit.
You might barely dodge once, block once, but the second swipe, the third swipe?
Mercer thinks, at V's current level, as long as the armor he designed doesn't falter in actual combat, even if the weaponry might not match the frightening Eight-Star Gun and fully mechanized strength of Adam's Hammer.
Yet with V's personal prowess and the mech combination, V undoubtedly possesses the capability to engage in direct combat with Adam's Hammer, and Mercer even believes that V has more than an 80% chance of taking down Adam's Hammer in a one-on-one situation.
Because although Adam's Hammer is well-equipped and his mechanized body might have reached the level of Superman, V's personal physical attributes are just too strong.
With Mercer's mech, she likely has surpassed Adam's Hammer in practical combat performance.
Moreover, combat sometimes isn't merely a comparison of equipment stats, but also involves factors like human combat will, combat intuition, mindset, techniques, and a series of extraordinary factors.
This is also why Mercer gives V special treatment, providing her with the strongest personal armor—she's just too stacked stat-wise, not fully equipping such a stat monster would be a crime!
This comprises all of Mercer's research results over the past six months.
Honestly, the speed and level of this development are simply inhuman.
As for Mercer himself—he hasn't developed a Single Soldier Armor for himself yet.
The reason is simple; compared to those like V and Rebecca who face danger directly, what he needs more isn't frontal assault capabilities but rather stronger survival abilities and intelligent weapons to leverage his brain advantages.
The development of the Octopus Arm prosthetics is actually Mercer's way to supplement and enhance his combat power.
For Mercer, despite his extreme speed, his nerve reaction speed and instantaneous thinking abilities aren't lower than V's, and from a purely cerebral perspective, his brain certainly works better than V's.
