"This is an S-class mech, the Giant Panda mech will fight it under the control of a simulation robot," Mu Jie said.
Lu Wanqing's heart tightened as well; she was nervous.
"Mm," Lu Wanqing agreed.
Mu Jie lowered his gaze to Little Mu Lan and Little Zhong Liyi. He said, "Let's retreat outside to watch."
"Okay," Little Mu Lan immediately agreed.
Little Zhong Liyi was a second slower, but quickly agreed as well: "Mm."
Lu Wanqing led the two children outside, and Mu Jie and Zhong Lifei also retreated with them.
On the training ground, the battle quickly began. The S-class mech was a common type of mech, about two meters tall, the height of an adult. However, the Giant Panda was a small mech tailor-made for children, very petite.
Although Lu Wanqing had added a lot of strength and damage to the Giant Panda, looking at the size difference from a distance, she still felt nervous.
The battle began quickly. The S-class mech attacked first, punching the Giant Panda. The Giant Panda's round, chubby body wobbled, and everyone held their breath for the Giant Panda.
The Giant Panda on the platform moved slowly. It slowly stabilized itself, then leisurely raised its paw and grabbed the S-class mech that had rushed in front of it again, intending to launch a second attack.
Caught by the Giant Panda, the S-class mech struggled instinctively, trying to escape. However, no matter how it thrashed, the Giant Panda's paw felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, holding it firmly. It couldn't break free.
Everyone watching this scene held their breath, tense.
The Giant Panda's movements were slow, as if it didn't care about anything. It slowly raised its other paw.
"Slap!"
The Giant Panda struck the S-class mech with one paw. Even from outside the arena, everyone seemed to feel the pain of the S-class mech being hit. With a single slap, the S-class mech's outer shell deformed.
The Giant Panda's movements didn't stop; it continued to attack. With the second slap, the S-class mech's deformation worsened. The third slap... the S-class mech emitted a dangerous warning!
"The Giant Panda is so powerful!" Little Yi's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Lu Wanqing petted her child's head and watched the subsequent tests. Two S-class mechs, three S-class mechs, one by one, they were all flattened by the Giant Panda. Until the last mech, a "King" mech that Lu Wanqing had designed earlier, also a super 3S class, took the stage. Although they were both super 3S class, the King, being an adult-sized mech, still had some advantage over the petite Giant Panda.
Little Zhong Liyi didn't care. The Giant Panda was really amazing, super, super amazing! He liked it very much!
Lu Wanqing was also happy. The complete test was over, proving that the Giant Panda's safety performance was not an issue and it was sufficient for children to play with.
Lu Wanqing retrieved the mech and turned to give it to Little Yi as a gift.
Upon receiving the gift, the little one was so nervous he could barely breathe. Mommy actually gave it to him, such a powerful gift, Mommy gave it to him!!!
"Thank you, Mommy!" Little Zhong Liyi, holding the space button containing the Giant Panda mech, blushed with excitement.
Lu Wanqing raised her hand, dotingly rubbing her child's head. Then, she took out the space button containing the Phoenix and walked into the arena, releasing the Phoenix.
The testing process was the same as before, but the experience was different. As soon as the Phoenix activated, it took flight, incredibly beautiful!
An S-class mech participating in the test tried to attack the Phoenix, but the Phoenix suddenly opened its mouth, and a terrifying fire dragon shot out, directly burning the opposing mech!
The intense fire blinded the S-class mech's vision. The S-class mech instinctively tried to dodge, but as soon as it moved, a terrifying energy cannon hit it.
Inside the S-class mech's cockpit, the tester's eyes widened in horror, disbelieving. The damage from the small mech, which looked so weak and could be smashed with a single attack, was so high, so terrifying!!!
"Beep! Warning! Mech severely damaged, please leave the battlefield immediately! Mech severely damaged, please leave the battlefield immediately!!!" The S-class mech emitted a dangerous alarm. Its mech was now scrap metal.
Outside the arena, everyone was also shocked. Mu Jie quickly pressed the control button, stopping the little robot program in the Phoenix's cockpit!
The attack stopped, the glass shield opened, and everyone rushed onto the stage anxiously. Medical personnel, who were waiting nearby to prevent accidents, also quickly moved forward and anxiously rescued the tester from the S-class mech's cockpit, then immediately sent him to the medical bay for treatment!
Yes, treatment!
That last attack not only destroyed the S-class mech but also severely injured the tester in the cockpit. He needed immediate treatment, or there would be serious consequences!
After the tester was sent to the medical bay, everyone slowly realized just how terrifying the Phoenix's damage was. With such frightening power, what would happen if it were used on the battlefield...
An accident had already occurred in the first round of testing. Should the subsequent tests continue?
Lu Wanqing was anxious and didn't dare to bring it up again. After a while, Mu Jie stepped forward. He personally asked the testers for the remaining rounds if they were willing to continue testing the Phoenix. If not, they could withdraw voluntarily, and the company would not hold them responsible. If they were willing, they would be paid ten times their salary.
Several testers hesitated, but in the end, someone stepped forward.
"Mr. Mu, I am willing," someone said.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Mu Jie asked.
The person replied, "What's there to be afraid of? We chose this profession, and we're already prepared to take risks."
"Jie," Lu Wanqing quickly called out to Mu Jie.
Mu Jie turned to look at Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing said, "Can we not use real people? Like the Phoenix, can we use robots to control the mechs?"
"I'll go," Zhong Lifei suddenly said as everyone was discussing.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhong Lifei.
Zhong Lifei looked at Lu Wanqing, then at Mu Jie, and explained, "Robots are just machines. Their reaction capabilities are limited, and they might not be able to test the full effectiveness."
As Zhong Lifei spoke, he looked at the mechs on the field, his eyes filled with inquiry and curiosity – would such mechs, which sacrificed defense for speed and attack, truly be useful?
If they really could be...
Zhong Lifei couldn't help but wonder how terrifying such mechs would be if they were deployed on the battlefield!
"This... wouldn't it be too much for you to go?" After a long silence, Mu Jie couldn't help but speak.
While the super 3S mechs were indeed powerful, they were ultimately just machines, lifeless objects. How could they compare to a real war god?
Zhong Lifei, who had been on the battlefield since he was a teenager and reached the rank of general at a young age, testing the Phoenix with a mech – wasn't this akin to bullying the little Phoenix?
Zhong Lifei turned and gave Mu Jie a chilling look.
Mu Jie was silent for a second, then nodded in agreement: "Fine, let's do it that way."
"Your Skyhawk is an S-class mech, right? Will you use the Skyhawk or our mech?" Mu Jie asked, unable to resist.
"Use the Skyhawk," Zhong Lifei said concisely.
Mu Jie thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was the Skyhawk. The Skyhawk was an S-class mech. If Zhong Lifei had chosen a 2S or 3S mech from them, it would have been truly devastating to the little Phoenix, practically destroying it. What a sin!
