185: Blade of Dawn

Inside the live broadcast room, the scene changed.

It was no longer an indoor scene, but in front of a Lake.

A mecha was directly suspended above the Lake.

In terms of size, this mecha was not large.

But the sense of oppression it brought was not small at all.

Just its hovering posture made people stare intently.

Humans, since ancient times, have had infinite longing and desire for flight.

Research on various flying devices has never been interrupted.

However, from ancient times to the present, there has still not been any flying device that allows humans to soar freely in the blue sky.

Airplanes can only be said to be passenger tools, unable to allow people to fly freely.

Therefore, anything that can enter a flying state is very eye-catching.

Even mechas, as a science fiction concept, do not have the function of free flight in typical designs.

Because their overall shape and huge body are not enough to support their free flight.

To be precise, it is not very suitable for high-altitude free flight.

It can be seen from Sakura’s mecha that even if a propulsion engine is forcibly added to fly into high altitude, it cannot fly freely and can only rely on free fall to return to the ground.

Ultimately, the initial design of mechas was aimed at powerful ground combat capabilities.

A huge body, with extremely strong destructive power, and can also be filled with various super weapons.

As for the aerial battlefield, it is left to fighter jets.

After all, the mecha’s body is too large; to fly freely, not to mention the extremely high technical difficulty, the consumption of flight alone is a huge problem.

You can’t just fill the mecha’s body with fuel, can you?

That would mean losing most of its combat capabilities, which would be counterproductive.

To have powerful ground combat capabilities, it is inevitable to not be able to take into account other aspects.

This is a trade-off.

However, now, this mecha is suspended above the Lake, shocking everyone.

Because the mecha, suspended above the Lake, did not make too much noise, and the mecha body was extremely stable.

This is somewhat beyond the cognition of the existing scientific system.

It is well known that the larger something is, the greater the consumption required to maintain a flying state, and it is even more difficult to remain suspended.

But this mecha just quietly hovered above the Lake.

This scene was truly impactful.

“There are no wings, and no propellers like helicopters, yet this thing just stays in mid-air. How on earth is this done?”

“I didn’t see any propulsion devices from the outside of the mecha, and there wasn’t even any noise. It can actually fly and hover in the air. This technology is a bit too powerful!”

Everyone was greatly shocked by this hovering mecha.

Not only were ordinary Netizens shocked, but relevant Experts were even more horrified!

Laymen watch the excitement, while Experts watch the intricacies.

Ordinary Netizens only knew that making a mecha fly was difficult, but they couldn’t explain exactly how difficult it was.

However, the relevant Experts, looking at this hovering mecha, felt an indescribable shock in their hearts.

They completely couldn’t understand how this mecha solved the power problem.

Giving a mecha the ability to fly and hover in the air is a huge test for the power system.

And besides power, there are also material issues.

To maintain such a flying and hovering state, strong power support is required, and super strong power will inevitably lead to material overheating, which then causes another problem, which is heat dissipation.

But this mecha showed no signs of any heat dissipation devices.

In fact, let alone heat dissipation devices, they couldn't even see where the power device was.

Everything about this mecha exceeded the Experts' understanding.

It can be said, it is so advanced that it is frightening!

However, just as everyone was shocked that this mecha could fly, the people from Sakura directly expressed different opinions.

“Hmph, it’s all flashy. Making it like this, it has lost the essence of a mecha. Focusing on flight means this mecha is useless. It definitely can’t have strong combat capabilities anymore. It’s just something that looks good but is useless.”

“That’s right, mechas don’t need any flying ability. What’s needed is absolute suppression in ground combat. Forcing such a huge thing to fly is putting the cart before the horse!”

“This is just grandstanding!”

The people from Sakura didn’t even bother to hide it, directly running into the live broadcast room to post various skeptical comments.

This overt questioning behavior, on the contrary, made the live broadcast room administrators a bit difficult.

If these guys had disguised themselves as deliberate provocateurs like before, then they could have been directly banned without a word.

But now these Sakura people came out openly, merely expressing doubts. If they were banned, it would seem as if they couldn’t tolerate dissenting voices.

This would make it easier for others to seize on something to criticize.

After all, this is an official live broadcast room, and the necessary magnanimity should still be present.

“Damn it, these little bastards are really looking for trouble. This isn’t their mecha, whether it has combat capability or not is none of their business!”

“Exactly, it’s our own mecha. We can make it however we want. Not to mention it hasn’t even truly started its demonstration yet, even if it really has no combat capability, just for this flying ability, it’s enough for us to enjoy watching.”

“That’s right, for combat capability, the basic mecha just demonstrated it. This flying mecha might just be specifically for individual flight.”

“Damn Sakura, I advise you to stop looking for trouble. Your own pile of junk is useless, and now you’re coming to envy us. It’s really laughable.”

The domestic Netizens, of course, were not polite and retorted one after another.

However, the people from Sakura always held the belief that mecha flight was putting the cart before the horse, constantly chattering and emphasizing it repeatedly.

It made people extremely annoyed.

But just as the guy from Sakura was intentionally causing trouble.

The next moment, the hovering mecha suddenly began to move.

At the same time, a synthesized mechanical voice sounded.

“Hello everyone watching the live broadcast, I am the intelligent assistant system. Next, I will explain our first high-end mecha to you.”

“This mecha’s codename is: Blade of Dawn.”

“Blade of Dawn possesses powerful aerial combat capabilities. It is different from mechas in the traditional sense; this is the future-level combat mecha developed by my creator.”

“Its size is somewhat reduced compared to traditional mechas, but it will be more flexible. Its body material is forged and refined with future-level technology, capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures and extremely low cold, allowing it to operate normally in any extreme environment.”

“Flight is merely Blade of Dawn’s most ordinary and basic function.”

“Next, Blade of Dawn will begin separate demonstrations of aerial combat and ground combat.”

“First to be demonstrated is Blade of Dawn’s anti-air combat capability.”

“Blade of Dawn, please demonstrate your aerial combat capability.”

As the synthesized mechanical voice fell, an even softer and more pleasant mechanical voice came from within the mecha.

“Blade of Dawn received. Anti-air strike, commencing now.”

Boom.

As the sound rang out, Blade of Dawn’s entire mecha body instantly shot into the sky.
