176: Official announcement, Mecha!

Just as Lin Yang was sending the mech video to Zhao Zizhen, Zhao Zizhen was in his office, engaged in a video conference with Ye Guhong and several Experts from the mech group.

An old Expert, waiting for Zhao Zizhen to finish sending his message to Lin, eagerly asked, “So, Old Zhao, what did Lin say? When can we see his mech design?”

Zhao Zizhen glanced at them and said calmly, “I know you’re all anxious, but don’t rush. Lin said he’d send it over shortly.”

The members of the mech group were instantly dumbfounded.

How could they not be anxious?

Ever since Zhao Zizhen told them a few days ago that Lin Yang would directly prepare a mech design for them, every day had felt like their hearts were being clawed at.

Now that they were finally about to see the design, every minute and every second of this final waiting period felt incredibly agonizing.

Ye Guhong teased, “Old Zhao, didn’t you pride yourself on being closest to Lin? How come Lin kept his mech research a secret even from you this time? You don’t know any inside information?”

Zhao Zizhen simply rolled his eyes, ignoring the remark.

“Haha.”

Seeing this, Ye Guhong burst into laughter, about to continue teasing Zhao Zizhen.

But then, a dinging sound of a notification rang out, and the mech video was sent.

Ye Guhong immediately stopped speaking.

Zhao Zizhen casually clicked open the video.

Then, his eyes instantly widened, and his mouth opened wider and wider. Within a few seconds, he was so startled that he directly shot up from his seat, his eyes filled with shock.

“Old Zhao, did Lin’s mech design come? Quick, let us see too!”

“That’s right, what kind of mech did Lin design? Don’t just stare blankly; show us quickly!”

The old Experts from the mech group, looking at Zhao Zizhen’s expression, all urged him on.

“This, this… you all see for yourselves.”

Zhao Zizhen snapped back to attention amidst their urging and immediately began video sharing.

And then…

“Oh my goodness, this is Lin’s mech design? Is this real?”

“Lin isn’t joking with us, is he? Can this thing really be built right now?”

The Experts from the mech group, looking at the mech video sent by Lin Yang, were also incredibly shocked.

In fact, their shock was even more intense than Zhao Zizhen’s.

Because they understood even more clearly how difficult it was to actually build the kind of mech seen in sci-fi blockbusters!

But now, the mech in this video was precisely that kind of mech from sci-fi blockbusters, and its form was even more streamlined; it had clearly been improved!

If this could be built…

The Experts all trembled, unable to imagine what a devastating weapon this thing would be if it could be built now!

Ye Guhong’s eyes also narrowed, staring at the mech display in the video footage, completely dumbfounded.

Although he didn't understand the technical difficulties, it didn't prevent him from knowing how hard it was to build a mech.

Sakura, with the combined strength of its entire country and observation of Tiangong Base’s technology, only managed to produce a pile of crude steel monstrosities.

That thing was still a long way from the truly envisioned mech.

Yet, even so, it caused a huge sensation worldwide and received a large number of orders.

It was evident that the word “mech” carried immense weight.

And the mech displayed in the current video was truly a super mech from a sci-fi blockbuster.

If this were unveiled, it would obliterate Sakura’s pile of steel monstrosities, leaving not even a speck of dust!

Excitement!

Very excited!

Ye Guhong couldn't help but slap his thigh: “No wonder Lin had such great confidence before, saying that as soon as his mech was built, Sakura’s pile of iron junk would be ignored. Now it seems, Lin was being conservative!”

“Hahaha, exactly! Compared to this mech, calling Sakura’s pile ‘iron junk’ is even a bit of an overstatement!”

The Experts from the mech group also laughed excitedly.

There was simply no comparison between the two.

Zhao Zizhen hastily said, “I need to issue an announcement and start a live broadcast to show off our mech. Sakura has been so arrogant lately, relying on their broken iron junk. Now let’s see how they can still be arrogant!”

“Good, good! It’s time to completely suppress their arrogance!”

The Experts all felt a sense of relief and triumph.

Zhao Zizhen directly exited the video conference and went to the Great Science Academy’s official account to start a live broadcast.

During this period, everyone had actually been holding their breath.

Now the mech video sent by Lin Yang, though a bit exaggerated.

But since Lin Yang provided such a design, they unconditionally believed that Lin Yang could absolutely produce a real mech.

Therefore, Zhao Zizhen directly took the video to make an official announcement, without even mentioning seeing a physical object!

…

At the same time, Sakura was preparing to sign a mech purchase contract with the wealthy Little Countries from the Central District.

And this signing ceremony was directly broadcast live to the public.

This was somewhat unusual.

Because a mech, one could say, was a strategic weapon, and a heavy one at that.

It wasn’t a commodity in the usual sense.

This could even be called an arms deal.

And internationally, for arms deals, everyone usually kept relevant data confidential.

But Sakura specifically chose to broadcast it live, and made the mech signing ceremony incredibly grand, more ostentatious than an international banquet.

Looking at the setup of the event, one who didn't know would think Sakura was about to marry into the wealthy Little Countries of the Central District.

As the signing ceremony between the two parties was about to enter the final signing stage, Sakura also specifically announced the quantity of mechs purchased by the wealthy Little Countries.

It was as if they wanted the worldwide to know how popular their mechs were.

Furthermore, they ultimately stated that as the superpower of the East, they would uphold the attitude of a host, welcoming all countries worldwide to Sakura to purchase mechs and achieve other deep collaborations.

These words made the Netizens at home unhappy.

“Damn, these little bastards are truly shameless to the extreme. The host of the East? Do they even qualify?”

“Damn it, I can’t stand their faces anymore. I really hope a better new mech comes out right now, no matter which country it’s from, as long as it’s not from Sakura!”

Although everyone had no good feelings for the major Western powers either, at this moment, Sakura was clearly more annoying.

The Netizens were all eagerly awaiting a new mech to emerge and suppress Sakura’s smug face.

Even if it wasn’t much more advanced than Sakura’s, it didn’t matter, at least it couldn’t let Sakura be too smug.

As the representative of the wealthy Little Countries was about to sign, the people of Sakura once again became smug, making sarcastic remarks online everywhere.

The Sakura representative in charge of the signing also had an undisguised look of smugness on his face.

But, just as this guy was pulling a smiling face, preparing to speak, the Great Science Academy’s live broadcast began, and the video about the mech was directly pushed to everyone’s eyes.

In an instant, the worldwide shook!
