289: salute!!

“You, look quickly! The zodiac mecha of the twelve chinese zodiac animals are transforming again!”

“What? The demonstration isn't over yet?! It’s already been three minutes, and there's more?”

“As expected of the mecha phalanx participating in the parade for the first time. What is grandeur? This is grandeur, understand?!”

“But all the mecha have already appeared. What else can Brother Su make them do? It can’t be that they’re transforming back, right?”

At this moment, a sense of doubt arose in the hearts of both domestic and international audiences.

The appearance of the mecha phalanx had already given them a huge surprise. No one had expected that China possessed not just one, but a full twelve mecha!

And no one had expected that the mecha in the sky, after transforming into human form, could still undergo further changes.

Soon, the eleven mecha, each with a unique design, completed the display of their final forms.

The mecha hovering in the sky transformed into individual body parts.

Heads, arms, torsos, limbs!

And Su Yu, clad in nano battle armor, stood at the very center of the entire mecha group.

That was the position of the heart, and also the core where all the mecha parts would combine and link.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out as the mecha head, transformed from the Rat zodiac mecha, completely finished its evolution and modification. Its eyes glowed, its gaze was cold, and it descended from above Su Yu’s head.

At the same time, the left and right arms and the torso also completed their final form evolution at this moment.

A scattered, super-large mecha, like broken puzzle pieces, floated in the air.

All parts revolved around Su Yu as the core, floating in his vicinity.

Invisibly, it was as if unseen lines held them firmly, like marionettes, gradually tightening their grip.

“Lackey! Activate combination mode!”

Su Yu silently counted the time in his mind, while simultaneously giving Lackey the final command.

According to what he had agreed upon with Li Zhengguo earlier, he only had a maximum of three and a half minutes for the mecha demonstration! Three minutes had already passed, leaving him with only thirty seconds.

Upon hearing this, Lackey unleashed its full computing power, sending out countless lines of code commands.

The next second, all eleven mecha were in position!

The combination process, full of industrial and technological flair, was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes!

Mecha coverage, joint linking, energy sharing, adaptive protection device activation, weapon system unlocking.

The moment the current passed through Su Yu's main mecha, he felt the signals from the eleven extended parts returning simultaneously!

Thus, the complete zodiac mecha, combination complete!!!

Boom!

The moment the combination was complete, the flames that had covered the alloy shell reignited.

The super-large, complete mecha, like the ultimate technology emerging from hellfire, remained silently suspended in the air, even though its entire body was enveloped in flames.

This was Su Yu’s first mecha combination.

He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly!

The super-large humanoid mecha, approximately three stories tall, now floated above Tianmen Square, its energy propulsion devices emitting dazzling white light. Although it merely stood silently in the air, it still became the center of everyone's attention!

“What?! It combined!!”

“This isn't a mecha, it's a Transformer, isn't it? The twelve mecha can actually complete a final combination! I was wondering why Brother Su still needed to display each mecha one by one; so this is why.”

“Holy cow, aerial docking technology! And it's a twelve-body docking? How on earth did this guy do it?!”

“Brother Su is a top aerospace genius. What’s wrong with using docking technology from rockets on mecha? Isn’t that a piece of cake?”

“This is truly astonishing! I never imagined that China’s research into mecha technology had reached such a level! To compare, this is probably more than thirty years ahead of our USA!”

“Hmph, isn’t it just thirty years? If our Japan's genius researchers truly put their minds to it, they could replicate the exact same thing in two years!”

“Little Sun, stop bragging! Replicate in two years? Give you two hundred years and you still couldn't do it!”

The bullet comments in the live stream were in a heated argument.

The appearance of the combined mecha refreshed their understanding of mecha. Especially for foreign audiences, who were already influenced by superhero movies, everyone thought that USA would be the superpower to first bring mecha into reality.

But who would have thought that China would come from behind, soaring to become a pioneer in mecha.

On site.

Su Yu, suspended in the sky, vaguely heard the roar of fighter jets in the distance.

He knew his demonstration time for today was probably almost up.

Then he lowered his head. “Lackey, prepare to withdraw.”

Lackey’s voice rang out inside the mecha.

“Understood, Master!”

As his voice fell, the mecha’s entire body’s jet propulsion devices began to accumulate energy, and the nitrogen ejection entered a countdown!

Su Yu watched as the ground equipment units, in formation, prepared to enter the field in an orderly manner. Then he slowly lowered the mecha’s altitude.

Under the sunlight, the neatly dressed soldiers looked at him with eyes full of respect and admiration.

On the city wall, the leaders’ gazes were sharp, also filled with deep pride!

At a certain moment, Su Yu was also suddenly moved by this scene before him.

In fact, when he was first invited by Duan Zhongping to participate in the parade, he felt an inexpressible sense of pride and honor.

But at this very moment, the sense of honor his homeland brought him was infinitely magnified!

Looking at the flag flying high on the flagpole, Su Yu took a deep breath.

He suddenly raised his right hand!

In mid-air.

The tall, mighty, and awe-inspiring zodiac mecha simultaneously raised its right hand, the clang of metal intertwining with a roar!

Under everyone's gaze, the mecha saluted towards the national flag with a standard China military salute!

“Salute!!”

Boom boom boom boom—

The roar of the salute cannons, powerful enough to pierce the sky, rang out again! It seemed to be responding to the mecha’s salute.

On the ground, in the formation of tens of thousands, the soldiers simultaneously stood at attention and shouldered their rifles!

Instinctive movements caused everyone at that moment to raise their right hands, looking up at the mecha in the sky.

“Salute!!!”

The honor guard soldiers, straining with all their might, roared.

Their voices echoed across the vast Tianmen Square, astonishing in their momentum, like surging waves!

Countless hands rose and fell like ocean waves, surging from the horizon!

And this scene was completely recorded by aerial drones and transmitted to the television station's live broadcast room.

It also made the viewers watching the live broadcast feel a surge of emotion and excitement!

This is the power of mecha!

This is the power of the people!!

This is the power of the homeland!!!
