This integrated mechanical exoskeleton was much sturdier than the assembled ones sold at the exchange.
The joint connections were also more logically structured.
Unlike the assembled models, which required some gap at the connection points for assembly and disassembly.
Because this mechanical exoskeleton was integrated, it could stand on its own without the need for a special steel frame to support it like the assembled ones.
Perhaps because it was custom-made for Tang Li, the exterior of this mechanical exoskeleton was painted red and polished to a high gloss.
It was grand and imposing yet retained a sense of elegance, perfectly suited for Tang Li.
Tang Li had fallen in love with the mechanical exoskeleton the moment she first saw it.
"Miss Tang, what do you think? Are you satisfied?"
Song Pinxuan was also pleased to see Tang Li's reaction and asked, "Would you like to try wearing it?"
Tang Li nodded in agreement.
Song Pinxuan led Tang Li to the back entrance of the research institute building.
They didn't go anywhere else, just stood at the back entrance.
After the research institute staff sprayed Tang Li with the delta particle clearing agent, Tang Li removed her protective suit and changed into the specialized protective suit for the mechanical exoskeleton.
The specialized protective suit covered her from head to toe, with separate coverings for each of the five fingers.
Although it had two layers, inside and out, sealing perfectly and completely isolating her from the outside, this specialized protective suit was very thin and did not impede the body's flexibility when worn.
After putting on the specialized protective suit, Tang Li went out to wear the integrated mechanical exoskeleton.
The way to wear it was also very simple.
Upon pressing a button on the abdomen of the mechanical exoskeleton, it would automatically open.
The small forearm guards, the upper arm guards, and the shoulder pauldrons on the front of the shoulders opened upwards. The guards on the front of the left and right lower legs and thighs opened outwards to the left and right, respectively. The chest and abdomen guards on the front opened outwards like two doors.
The interior cavity of the mechanical exoskeleton was thus revealed to Tang Li.
This inner cavity was crafted according to Tang Li's body shape, designed to work with the specialized protective suit.
There were no ornate decorations inside the cavity, only the raw luster of metal.
Following Song Pinxuan's instructions, Tang Li first removed her shoes and inserted her feet, encased in the specialized protective suit, into the foot sections of the mechanical exoskeleton. She then straightened her arms and inserted her hands, also encased in the specialized protective suit, into the hand sections of the mechanical exoskeleton.
Once her head was placed inside the mechanical exoskeleton's brain-computer interface helmet, she could control the mechanical exoskeleton to close.
As long as the person was inside the mechanical exoskeleton, it would remain locked and would not open without commands from the brain.
When the mechanical exoskeleton's energy was about to be depleted, it would automatically enter low-power mode.
In low-power mode, all the mechanical exoskeleton's power units would cease operation, and it could no longer be controlled by thought. However, it could be operated by physical force, though it would be very energy-consuming.
Simultaneously, in low-power mode, the mechanical exoskeleton's locked state would be released, allowing it to be manually opened from the inside to exit.
As soon as she put on the brain-computer interface helmet of this integrated mechanical exoskeleton, Tang Li felt a sensation different from that of the assembled mechanical exoskeletons.
When wearing the assembled mechanical exoskeletons, Tang Li felt very at ease, as if her own limbs.
However, with this integrated mechanical exoskeleton, it could only be said that it was built according to her mental power at maximum capacity.
Even with Tang Li's strong mental power, she felt a sense of sluggishness upon first wearing it.
Her legs felt very heavy when using it.
However, Tang Li still insisted on walking on her own without anyone's assistance.
But after only a few steps, she lost her footing and almost fell.
Song Pinxuan, seeing this, was startled and quickly stepped forward, reaching out to support Tang Li.
Tang Li, however, disliked strangers approaching her. She instinctively, subconsciously, and reflexively pushed him away.
Tang Li's strength was already considerable, and with the added power of the mechanical exoskeleton, her force was even greater.
With that push, Song Pinxuan was sent flying.
Furthermore, although his body flew forward, his limbs lagged behind, extending straight in the air.
After Tang Li reacted, she quickly took a step forward and reached out to grab Song Pinxuan's suspended hand.
"No!"
*Click!*
...
As Song Pinxuan was still flying rapidly through the air, Tang Li's grab immediately dislocated his arm.
At that moment, Tang Li could no longer bother trying on the mechanical exoskeleton. She quickly went with the research institute staff to send Song Pinxuan to the medical center of the institute.
No one noticed that on another building opposite the garden, several people had watched this entire process.
