The reason the people around stopped in their tracks was due to sheer astonishment.
The mechanical legion of Divine Artisan City is very mysterious to outsiders because there have been no notable battle cases reported for a very long time.
They are recognized and not doubted simply because they are the foundation of Divine Artisan City and a powerful force controlled by the Tarros Red Dwarf.
In reality, this army is indeed powerful, even stronger than people imagine.
Without even mentioning the numbers, just the equipment itself shows that the dwarves have armed this legion to the teeth in a way completely different from Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming operates independently, relying on a vast amount of mental power and a high success rate to produce equipment in bulk, arming himself and his subordinates, as well as conducting large-scale sales.
The Tarros Red Dwarf, on the other hand, relies on the entire race to manufacture this mechanical battle armor, accumulating over time to fully equip this army.
For a race capable of producing divine level equipment, they wouldn't just casually create something to fill the ranks; the dwarves are very meticulous about their mechanical battle armor.
Years of accumulation have resulted in a complete and systematic framework.
From standardization to functionality, from maintenance to repairs, and even to the selection and training of pilots, there are clear regulations in place.
This is crucial for enhancing combat effectiveness.
For example, the levels of these mechanical battle armors and the compatibility requirements for pilots at each level.
The entire mechanical legion's battle armor is divided into seven levels.
The type that Ye Zhongming studied in that five-person household was the lowest level, known as "guardian level."
The small team currently wears a higher-tier armor, known as "inscription ape level."
Every type of battle armor has its requirements for pilots, which is the compatibility they exhibited earlier.
For the lowest level "guardian level" mechanical battle armor, anyone can pilot it.
Although there are still compatibility issues, the difference between the highest and lowest compatibility in combat is not as significant.
At this level, compatibility serves more as a selection standard, with a requirement of at least ninety percent to participate in the driving examination for "inscription ape level" battle armor.
Once reaching the "inscription ape level," the second level in the mechanical battle armor system, the importance of compatibility rises sharply and begins to correlate with combat capability.
For battle armors of the same level, unless they are specially made, the defensive and offensive capabilities and various functions are extremely similar.
The only reason they are not identical is due to differences in manufacturing materials, techniques, refining quality, and the manufacturers themselves, which ensure some distinctions, but overall these differences can be considered negligible.
What can reflect the difference in combat power is the skill of the pilot.
And the most basic standard for measuring a pilot's ability is compatibility.
Only when compatibility reaches the standard can one become a pilot of the corresponding level of mechanical battle armor.
When a pilot's compatibility with "guardian level" mechanical battle armor exceeds ninety percent, they can participate in the selection exam.
If they achieve over fifty percent compatibility while piloting "inscription ape level" battle armor, they will be promoted to become a pilot of that level, which is the minimum standard.
If they can break through sixty-five percent, that is considered a commendable achievement, as the captain said earlier, "good."
That captain had a compatibility exceeding seventy percent, making him a standout among the "good" ratings.
However, upon seeing Ye Zhongming's eighty-one percent, everyone in the team was stunned.
In their evaluative criteria, this represented "excellent," indicating a different level altogether, or in other words, he could unleash nearly all of the mechanical battle armor's capabilities at that level.
