Section 38

...

After the introduction was finished...

Lin Xian had already entered the cockpit.

As he pressed the "Close Cockpit" button...

Creak—

It was the sound of uniform steel armor plates moving again!

In just a dozen seconds...

The armor plates that had moved aside were all back in place! The cockpit was completely sealed! Not a single trace could be seen!

This scene...

It was simply like the Iron Man armor coming to life.

It directly sent many guys in the livestream into a frenzy of excitement.

"Now... next..."

"Let's head outside to actually demonstrate the functions of this mecha for everyone."

Under Lin Xian's control...

The mecha walked toward the door in a very natural, relaxed, and fast manner.

Lin Xian had thoughtfully installed a 360-degree camera on the mecha to continue the synchronized livestream.

Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory was originally built against a mountain.

So...

Lin Xian only needed to walk out the door and take a turn in the Agricultural Mecha to see the steep mountain wall behind the factory.

The mecha's arm rose, pointing at the steep cliff, and Lin Xian's voice transmitted directly to the livestream:

"Let's use this back mountain for our experiment. In fact... even farmers in mountainous and hilly areas rarely cultivate on such steep walls; they still have many easier, gentle slopes to choose from..."

"But don't worry, even on a nearly vertical wall like this, our [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech] can handle it as usual."

With that said!

Lin Xian directly began to climb using the mecha!

Because special climbing devices were installed on all four limbs of the mecha... and they were all black technology from Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory...

Climbing the cliff was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Plus...

The coordination of this series of movements was completed fully automatically; Lin Xian only needed to control the direction...

It gave everyone the illusion of "I could do that too."

However...

When Lin Xian saw this bullet message, he smiled and said:

"This isn't an illusion... you really could do it too!"

"This Agricultural Mecha itself was designed specifically for farmers... so the operation mode is set to be very simple, and most actions can be completed automatically. What the pilot needs to do... is just control the direction and issue simple commands."

"Of course... if there are truly any special needs, it can also be [modified] as required."

Modified.

Modified!

Hearing Lin Xian say the word [modified], the netizens in the livestream immediately shared a "knowing" smile!

"Hahahaha, this 'modification' is just too brilliant! For China, a nation of modification fanatics... the Type 26 and the J-10 have been modified so much they're practically unrecognizable. In the military field... when it comes to modification, our China has never admitted defeat! I believe this Agricultural Mecha will definitely be modified into something incredible by the Chinese Military!"

"Modification... hahaha, I really can't help but laugh. Whether intentional or not... the equipment manufactured by Lin Xian's Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory always leaves plenty of room for our military to modify! If nothing else... the Artificial Rainfall Bomb can be swapped with any warhead, so it's easy to imagine... many weapons can surely be installed on this mecha too, right?"

"That goes without saying! If you ask me... lasers, machine guns, and all kinds of cruise missiles... they can all be modified onto this Agricultural Mecha! When that time comes... this mecha will be invincible in close combat and excellent at long-range strikes! This value... it's practically China's Gundam!"

"Ahem! Everyone in the livestream, please watch your words! What's with all this nonsense! Streamer Lin Xian has painstakingly said it so many times... the equipment produced by Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory is all [Agricultural Machinery]! [Agricultural Machinery]! [Agricultural Machinery]... important things must be said three times (doge face), this is definitely not some kind of armament!"

"Exactly, exactly... you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want! What's with all this 'modified Gundam' talk... this thing is just a pure rice-transplanting machine used for farming! Don't think of it as something high-end... it's just for agriculture, it doesn't have that many functions... mhm, mhm!"

...

However...

When the US netizens saw the actual demonstration of the mecha...

Their faces truly turned pale with fright.

So flexible!

So intelligent!

And it can even be modified!

This is clearly a war machine!

If the Chinese Military really mass-produces this kind of mecha and modifies it into individual combat mecha...

Fighting other countries in the future would be a complete dimensional strike.

It would be a total crushing defeat with no power to fight back.

And at the United Nations conference room...

General Mike, the Director of National Defense and a weapons expert, sucked in a cold breath! His face turned pale!

As a professional...

He instantly realized how terrifying this mecha, which could climb at will, really was.

Originally...

The combat power of the army was limited to a single plane.

Never mind trenches, ravines, or rivers that couldn't be crossed...

Just a naturally formed high mountain alone!

Could become an impassable barrier for an army!

Commanding the high ground... this has been a truth known to everyone throughout thousands of years of warfare!

But this mecha!

Its climbing ability was simply too outstanding!

Its climbing speed... was practically faster than driving a car.

If this were applied in actual combat...

The Chinese Military could cross Mount Everest in nearly tens of minutes and directly enter Indian territory!

Whoosh—

Perhaps it was a moment of telepathy...

The India Representative sitting in the audience...

Instantly shuddered!

He felt as if he were surrounded by cold air, trembling all over:

"My god..."

"China invented this thing..."

"It wouldn't be for the purpose of fighting me, would it?"

Chapter 30: "Is the racial talent of the Chinese people bluffing!?"

India and China are separated only by a mountain...

Especially at the border of the two countries.

It's basically a continuous range of mountains; no one can take advantage of the other.

But...

If China arms its military with this [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mech]... then the mountain combat capability will likely undergo a qualitative change, improving at the speed of light!

Hiss...

The India Representative not only had a sweaty forehead but also sucked in a cold breath...

Although the Chinese officials repeatedly emphasized that all products manufactured by Lin Xian are agricultural machinery!

But only a ghost would believe that.

The India Representative knew, the US Representative knew, and he even believed... the Chinese Representative must also be feigning ignorance while knowing the truth!

It was nothing more than not wanting to expose their true strength and avoiding creating international pressure!

You're saying the Chinese officials wouldn't use such advanced technology for military purposes?
