628: Chapter 627 This guy is actually one of my army soldiers
He was seen controlling the Kunlun Generation III, beginning a rapid drill of tactical maneuvers.
Forward dash! Side roll! ...
Block! Punch! ...
Mid-air twist! Sudden stop and turn! ...
Every movement was swift and fierce, filled with the purest aura of slaughter from the battlefield.
And behind him.
That massive Chengying Mecha followed him like a shadow!
As Zhou Ming dashed forward, Chengying transformed into a dark-gold torrent, charging out!
As Zhou Ming performed a side roll, Chengying's massive body rolled across the ground with an unbelievable flexibility!
As Zhou Ming punched, Chengying's metallic iron fist, larger than a truck's cabin, roared out with a whistle that tore through the air!
Most terrifying was the mid-air twist; under the disbelieving gazes of the crowd, the forty-plus-ton behemoth actually completed a light, otherworldly mid-air twist with ease!
The seven-meter-tall steel mecha.
It maneuvered under the spotlights, sometimes like a tiger descending a mountain, unstoppable, and sometimes like a clever monkey climbing, lithe and agile.
This was no longer a simple duplication of movements.
This was a dance of death performed by steel and power!
"So strong... This is actually my Army's soldier!..."
Long Jianjun could no longer restrain himself. His hands gripped the railing in front of him tightly, his entire body trembling violently, and his fierce eyes had turned completely red at some point.
In his entire life.
He had risen from an ordinary Dragon Army soldier to his current position as General Commander of the Army.
He had witnessed every transformation of the Chinese Army, from horse-drawn to motorized, then to mechanized and digitized.
He had originally thought.
That Dragon Army soldiers equipped with Kunlun Generation II armor were already the most powerful ground force on the planet.
But until today.
Until he saw the birth of the Chengying Mecha with his own eyes, he finally understood.
It was too small!
His previous perspective had been far too narrow!
This was the ultimate form of the Army!
This was the invincible legion capable of conquering the sea of stars!
"Damn it... aren't these just a bunch of steel Gods of War..."
General Commander of the Space Force General Yun Feijie murmured to himself.
As the helmsman of the Space Force, his gaze toward the Chengying Mecha was filled not just with shock, but more so with a heartfelt envy.
General Yun Feijie had no doubt.
That if ten such Chengying Mecha had been dropped onto the North America continent before last year's great war.
He feared they could have wiped out the Eagle Nation within a single day!
"Old Yun, don't be so quick to be envious."
Beside him, Chief of General Staff General Li Jingwu patted his shoulder, his eyes gleaming. "Do you think this thing can only be used on the ground?"
General Yun Feijie was suddenly taken aback.
General Li Jingwu's voice came slowly: "In a zero-gravity environment, without the constraints of Blue Star's gravity, Chengying's mobility will only be more terrifying than it is now!"
"Imagine, on the Moon, on Mars, or even in the Asteroid Belt, our soldiers piloting Chengying for landing operations, fortress assaults, ship boarding... what a magnificent sight that would be!"
Those words.
Instantly woke everyone up.
Indeed!
Who said mecha could only run on the ground?
In the vast universe, it is the most powerful individual assault unit!
Just then.
The demonstration in the field was nearing its end.
Zhou Ming finished his last standard combat closing stance.
The Chengying Mecha behind him also stood still.
Like a silent demon god.
But that restrained, terrifying aura was even more intense than before.
Zhou Ming slowly raised his hand and disconnected the neural link. His face beneath the Kunlun Generation III helmet was already soaked with sweat, but his eyes were as bright as burning flames.
He faced the viewing platform.
He snapped his feet together, standing in a standard Chinese Dragon Army military posture.
Then, with a "snap."
He performed a perfectly standard military salute!
"Reporting, Chief!"
"Classic of Mountains and Seas Project, Chengying Unmanned Heavy Tactical Mecha, first dynamic demonstration, successfully completed!"
"Awaiting instructions!"
His voice, clear and powerful, reached everyone's ears through the amplification equipment!
On the viewing platform.
Led by Chief Designer Bai Yannian, along with General Li Jingwu, General Yun Feijie, Long Jianjun... all the high-ranking Chinese officials.
All subconsciously straightened their backs at this moment.
With solemn expressions, they slowly raised their right hands and returned a grave military salute to the young soldier in the field and to the steel giant representing the pinnacle of China Military Industry technology!
At this moment, no one spoke.
But the same flame burned in everyone's eyes.
What they saw was the future of China, the first step of this ancient civilization toward the sea of stars!
The first step in confronting hostile alien civilizations!
