Looking at the three military heavyweights on the Spring Festival Gala stage,
190: Chapter 190 Emergency Rescue, Jiangcheng No. 1! The Kunlun Hero of the Chinese People!
Looking at the three military heavyweights on the Spring Festival Gala stage,
the audience was filled with a sense of novelty,
while simultaneously falling into deep thought.
The Emergency Rescue Force and the Infrastructure Engineering Force
are two special units under the jurisdiction of the Army of the China Supreme Military Region.
One is responsible for disaster and accident response tasks,
while the other handles national defense heavy industry construction.
By having the commanders of these two special units appear,
was the government planning some major move with the Kunlun Armor?
While everyone was making wild guesses,
on the Spring Festival Gala stage,
Zhang Zhaozhong had already opened his mouth with a smile.
"Friends in the audience!"
"Today, on behalf of the China Supreme Military Region, I will announce the latest news regarding the Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor!"
"It is also a major piece of news concerning the livelihood of the Chinese people!"
Under the gaze of countless audience members in the venue,
Zhang Zhaozhong remained very calm.
"A few years ago!"
"Our Chinese youth were very fond of foreign superhero movies!"
"Especially those like Iron Man and the Terminator!"
"These 'Heroes' and 'Terminators' once became idols for our Chinese youth!"
"But movies are movies after all!"
"People must ultimately return to reality!"
Zhang Zhaozhong paused for a moment,
then continued with a smile.
"However!"
"The day when dreams shine into reality has arrived!"
"The news I want to announce today is!"
"We, China, will also have a superhero belonging to the Chinese people!"
"The Kunlun Hero!"
Pfft...
Many young people watching the Spring Festival Gala
nearly spat out their New Year's Eve dinner!
What on earth?
Kunlun Hero...
Isn't this name a bit too cringeworthy?
Director Zhang,
aren't you embarrassed at all on stage?
"As everyone knows!"
"The Kunlun Generation II Exoskeleton Armor is a piece of auxiliary individual land combat equipment!"
"But its greatest utility is far from being limited to warfare!"
"Under the overall design of our China Armament Chief Designer, Lin Mo, the civilian conversion of the Generation II armor has been basically completed!"
"Currently!"
"Two models of second-generation civilian armor have already entered mass production and are undergoing preliminary deployment!"
"The first model is the Rescue Armor!"
"The second model is the Engineering Armor!"
At this point,
Zhang Zhaozhong turned his head
and nodded toward Yang Anfei and Commander Zhou Baoguo.
Understanding the signal, Yang Anfei
formally spoke.
"Reporting to the people of the whole nation!"
"Currently, a total of 3,000 sets of Rescue Armor"
"have been preliminarily deployed in fire brigades across 700 cities and 1,300 counties nationwide!"
"This means!"
"Every city and county in China already has at least one Kunlun Hero!"
"Acting as a city guardian to safeguard everyone!"
...
At the same time,
Jiangcheng.
In the teachers' residential compound of the Suburban Seventh Middle School,
next door to Lin Mo's old house.
"Good heavens!"
"That boy Little Mo is truly a Prodigy!"
"How long has it been? The Exoskeleton Armor Little Mo designed is already being fully deployed!"
"Incredible, simply incredible!"
Old Man Liu was watching the Spring Festival Gala,
his face full of excitement.
"I'm telling you!"
"When Lin Mo was little, I could tell his life wouldn't be ordinary!"
Hearing this,
the rest of the family immediately became curious.
"Twenty years ago, I saw with my own eyes that when Lin Mo was a kid, he could pee three meters far!"
"Can any of you do that?"
"Tch!..."
Old Man Liu laughed heartily,
then continued to boast wildly to his family,
making his grandson, Xiao Ming, roll his eyes beside him.
"How can a national project like this be done by just one person?"
"Lin Mo only has an undergraduate degree; I don't believe he's that amazing!"
The more Xiao Ming listened, the more annoyed he became.
Regardless of the fact that his grandfather was in high spirits,
he began to spout conspiracy theories.
"If you ask me, he's just being used as a face for propaganda!"
"There must be someone behind him!"
"Don't forget, Uncle Lin himself is a retired military officer; wouldn't it be easy to pull a few strings?"
As soon as these words were spoken,
Old Man Liu's anger flared up,
and he raised his hand to deliver a slap.
"You idiot, are you looking for a beating again?"
Seeing this,
the others quickly held him back;
it was bad luck to get into a physical fight during the New Year.
Just then,
a burnt smell drifted from the kitchen.
"Is something burning?"
Xiao Ming, worried about staying in the living room and getting hit by the old man,
stood up immediately.
"I'll go check!"
When Xiao Ming entered the kitchen,
he was instantly petrified!
The pot on the kitchen stove had turned into a ball of fire,
and even the cabinets above had begun to char black,
looking like they were about to catch fire!
Panic-stricken, Xiao Ming
quickly grabbed a nearby bucket of water
and splashed it on forcefully!
Boom!!...
Whoosh!!!————
After a burst of crackling,
the flames instantly spread to the entire kitchen!
Seeing this,
Xiao Ming fainted directly onto the floor in terror.
"Quick, call 119! Call 119!!"
...
Billowing thick smoke surged into the sky.
Faced with a major fire,
almost all the residents of the teachers' residential compound forgot about the New Year and flocked to the square outside to watch.
"Our compound has been here for over twenty years, and it seems we've never had a fire before?"
"Yeah! And such a big one too!"
"What a pity, Old Liu's family is in for a disaster this time!"
Looking at Old Liu's house, which was continuously emitting thick smoke,
many people sighed with regret.
To suffer such a huge fire during the New Year,
how could they even celebrate the Spring Festival?
"You idiot, you idiot, you idiot!!"
"You splash water on an oil fire! Who the hell taught you that, huh?!"
"Fool, what a fool!! I don't have an idiotic grandson like you!!!"
Old Man Liu looked at his own window, from which smoke kept pouring out,
wanting to cry but unable to make a sound, only able to curse incessantly.
Xiao Ming, on the other hand, had a blank expression,
as if he had lost his soul.
Using his own stupidity as the price, he had finally learned
that you must never splash water on an oil fire!
Because water hitting a hot pot will cause it to 'explode',
scattering oil and fire,
and the result was exactly what was happening now!
Beside him,
Xiao Ming's father was full of anxiety, pacing back and forth.
"It's been seven minutes since the call; why hasn't the fire brigade arrived yet!"
Xiao Ming's mother slumped on the ground, a look of despair on her face.
"How can they come?"
"Do you expect the firefighters to fly over?"
"And even if they come, what can they do?"
"With such a big fire, can it even be saved?"
"It's gone, it's all gone!"
"Waaaah!!..."
The words of Xiao Ming's mother
caused the entire family, who had still held a sliver of hope, to fall into complete despair,
and they all began to wail loudly.
Seeing the tragic state of Old Liu's family,
the surrounding neighbors all showed looks of pity.
Having been neighbors for decades,
Old Man Liu could be said to be the most helpful and warm-hearted person recognized by the whole compound,
and yet he had encountered such terrible luck!
In this world,
it truly seems that good people don't get rewarded!
...
As the mood of sadness spread,
suddenly,
a roar echoed from the night sky!
Before everyone could even look up,
there was a loud 'Thump'!
An armored figure, a full two and a half meters tall,
suddenly descended onto the open ground of the residential square!
Everyone looked over.
They saw
this tall armored warrior that they had to look up at,
its entire body orange-red,
with several yellow-green stripes in the middle,
which were continuously flashing with a faint yellow-green light!
On the upper arm of the armor, it clearly read:
"Emergency Rescue, Jiangcheng No. 1!"
