Gulp.
Major General Gude Yef swallowed.
He cast aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
The Great Xia country's mecha before him, which could select and use tools, smashing target robots into scrap with raw iron ore, had proven through its actions that it was not a toy, but more likely a new type of armed robot secretly provided by the Great Xia country to the Bear Country.
The military industrial technology of the Great Xia country was indeed astonishing.
But, to conclude that this single mecha could select and produce weapons and tools just because it could destroy targets with raw iron ore… to possess autonomous consciousness like humans would be too hasty.
This was definitely the result of code manipulation written into the mecha's core city.
No need to think further.
It had to be so.
If it weren't, it wouldn't be astonishing the world but horrifying, leading to a human crisis and extinction!
AI robots with human intelligence, what was the difference from God creating man in the Bible?!
Humans, overstepping their bounds, snatching God's divine power to create new intelligent mechanical life that could destroy themselves?!
No matter how strong the military industrial technology of the Great Xia country was, it couldn't possibly produce such scientific research and creation that undermined humanity's foundation, sowed the seeds for human demise, and violated human ethics!
It was very clear.
Not only his procurement officers.
Even Major General Gude Yef himself had identified this mecha as a decisive technological military robot secretly provided by the Great Xia country to the Bear Country.
Major General Gude Yef, having come back to his senses, scanned the speechless procurement officers.
It wasn't that his subordinates were incompetent, but that the technological mecha secretly provided by the Great Xia country was too heaven-defying.
"The evaluation still needs to continue."
"However, testing them one by one is too much of a waste of time."
"My opinion is, let's directly go into a real combat free-for-all. The military robots that remain in the end will be listed as procurement targets, how about it?"
As the highest-ranking officer here, the chief person in charge of military procurement.
Since Major General Gude Yef had spoken, naturally, no one would defy his wishes.
After some operations.
According to the wishes of each procurement officer.
The technical officers input the relevant control data code into the main control computer.
Just waiting for a command.
The free-for-all real combat test would begin.
"Activate!"
With a single command from the Major General.
Excluding the mecha from the Great Xia country, over a dozen military robots, without a word, charged directly towards the mecha!
It was obvious.
Although it was called a free-for-all.
These procurement officers had temporarily set aside their competition, unanimously choosing to surround and attack the mecha.
Any player who had played competitive electronic games knew.
In a free-for-all, when an overwhelming master appeared who could crush all other contestants, it was imperative to eliminate that master first, and then everyone would fight amongst themselves!
Their calculations were good.
Unfortunately.
Harsh reality was often cruel!
Watching over a dozen top military robots from different countries and major military research institutions, some burrowing underground, some crawling on snow, some flying in the sky…
Various bizarre attack methods emerged endlessly.
Aerial bombs.
Cluster missiles.
Long-range lasers.
Sonic resonance.
More than a kilometer away from the control console.
That Great Xia country mecha was already submerged in various attacks.
Such large-scale cluster attacks.
Let alone a mecha, even a destroyer weighing thousands of tons would be sunk, dismantled!
Several waves of cluster attacks temporarily stopped.
The smoke dispersed.
The mecha no longer had the composure it displayed when it single-handedly fought the Alvi anti-tank robot.
Its composite metal outer shell was riddled with dents.
One of its leg thrusters was damaged.
Several joint connections had loosened.
But, even so, it still made everyone present dumbfounded.
Such an intense cluster attack had only caused such negligible damage to this mecha.
From the mecha's self-check data transmitted to the control console computer screen, it was clear that the mecha's core classified the damage from this round of cluster attacks as 3%.
The mecha's structural integrity remained at 97%.
Simply put.
This cluster attack, which was almost a full-force effort, was merely scratching the surface of this mecha.
Before everyone had recovered from their shock.
The mecha, which had withstood the most fierce initial wave of attacks, moved.
Its speed was so fast that it dazzled everyone.
Looking at its constantly shifting silhouette.
No one doubted.
Even the world's top sports cars couldn't match this mecha's zero-to-hundred acceleration by a fraction.
Rumble, rumble.
Facing the combined assault of over a dozen multinational military robots from the sky, snow, and ground, with a total value of over a hundred million US dollars.
This mecha no longer cherished its feathers or conserved its strength as it had when it single-handedly fought the Alvi anti-tank robot!
Full throttle.
Punching and kicking.
As long as a target was locked.
It immediately unleashed powerful blows with full force.
This feeling.
Was completely one-sided slaughter.
Moreover, it was one mecha surrounding and slaughtering over a dozen multinational military robots.
This kind of "one punch, one kid" fighting style.
Within a short span of a few minutes.
It had disabled over a dozen ground and snow military robots.
Looking at the scrap metal scattered everywhere.
Everyone's gaze focused on the sky.
The remaining three flying military robots were like startled birds.
Maintaining a safe distance from the mecha, they fearfully threw a few bombs to harass it from time to time.
The difference in skill was clear.
The Great Xia country's mecha, which had no long-range attack weapons and was defined as a "toy," had completely won.
However.
The battlefield is result-oriented.
Soon, a procurement officer quietly and weakly spoke.
"It seems our purchased airborne multi-role combat drones have fought this mecha to a draw!"
"The current situation is that neither can do anything to the other!"
"How about we call it a draw!"
Major General Gude Yef glanced at the procurement officer with contempt.
He thought, when did he train such a shameless subordinate?
The latter blushed a little under Major General Gude Yef's gaze, but he still stubbornly held his ground, not intending to retract his words.
It was obvious.
This guy was one of the procurement officers for the remaining three flying robots.
If Major General Gude Yef really determined that their purchased flying robots had fought the mecha to a standstill, and listed their chosen military robots as procurement items, it would be a great honor and a significant military achievement.
The stalemate continued.
The next ten minutes seemed to become a meaningless period where neither side could do anything to the other.
Especially the mecha, with its head tilted, looked exactly like a human who didn't know what to do when faced with a problem.
"How about, we declare it a draw for both sides?"
Another procurement officer who had purchased flying military robots shamelessly suggested to Major General Gude Yef.
This Major General raised an eyebrow.
His gaze fell back on the main control computer on the console.
Then.
He shook his head meaningfully and uttered a sentence.
"A draw?"
"I don't think so!"
