"EXA-07? What's that? Is it the code name for Huaxia's new equipment?"
"What a strange name, that's not typically how Huaxia names their weapons and equipment, right?"
"Quick, look at the sea!"
Just as the audience was frantically discussing in the comments, the live broadcast camera switched to the sea beside the aircraft carrier, where a water dragon was approaching the military base at an incredible speed, almost too fast to be captured by the camera.
"So fast! What on earth is that thing?" Watching the live broadcast weren't just ordinary people; even weapons experts from various countries were focused on this broadcast.
"Operating underwater, could it be a submarine?" some weapons expert speculated.
"Impossible, a submarine can't achieve such speed!" This guess was immediately refuted.
The underwater resistance is very large, and currently, international submarines can barely reach a speed limit of fifty knots, which translates to less than 100 kilometers per hour, or nearly 30 meters per second. But judging from the speed of this water dragon, it had at least reached over 100 meters per second, which no submarine could possibly achieve.
"It must be some kind of torpedo! Only underwater weapons can reach such speed!"
"No, the size of a torpedo isn't that large. Look at the scale of this water dragon, it's definitely not something a torpedo could create!"
The weapons experts were at a loss, unable to guess what exactly was moving underwater.
At this moment, a huge splash suddenly erupted from the sea, and a massive object, glistening with metallic light, shot into the sky.
"What... what is that?"
"Gundam? Impossible!"
Finally, the camera captured the enormous object. It was a giant metal robot with a main color scheme of red, white, and blue! The robot stood nearly 20 meters tall, and although its back seemed to have a jet engine-like device, it was not activated, yet it hovered steadily in mid-air!
"Holy shit, is this the new weapon the dean developed? Damn, he actually made a Gundam, is he a god?"
"Oh my god, with such high resistance in water, it's moving faster than fish. What kind of technology is this?"
"Can someone explain to me how it flew up, I didn't see any flames coming from its bottom or feet!"
"What F33, what Night One, in front of a Gundam, they're all garbage! This thing can be used in the sea, in the air, on land. How can other countries compete with our military power?"
"Who just insulted the dean? Step forward and take your scolding!"
"Blast team, get ready!"
"Xiaoyu, give them a show!"
The generals, almost dumbfounded now, had even more contorted expressions on the faces of those who had been mocking the hardest just now.
"Got it, brother-in-law!" The pilot of that Mobile Soldier was Guo Junyu, who, after twenty days of intensive training, could operate the mech as if it were his own body.
"Maximum thrust, engage!" Guo Junyu cranked the engine power to its maximum. A searing flame erupted from the back of the mech, propelling it towards the military base at speeds tens of times faster than the speed of sound.
"So fast!" They felt it only took a moment for the gigantic robot to cover tens of kilometers and arrive right in front of them.
"How is that possible! How can it have such strong maneuverability?" They noticed that the mech didn't fly in a straight line but constantly changed direction in the air. How strong must the power be to overcome inertia and perform such agile air maneuvers?
At this moment, the weapons development departments of various countries were busier than ever. This new equipment was simply terrifying. Even though it hadn't demonstrated its firepower capabilities, its maneuverability alone greatly exceeded that of any current aircraft, tank, or warship.
"Are the data out yet?" In the Federal Government's laboratory, the experts urged impatiently.
"They're out! They're out!" A researcher ran over holding the freshly calculated data.
Water speed: 300~400 knots!
Air speed: Over Mach 30!
"This is impossible!" Seeing the data, the experts' hands trembled continuously. What did these figures mean? This robot moved underwater far faster than a torpedo and in the air faster than an intercontinental missile!
"How could Huaxia develop such technology?"
"Did they obtain knowledge from some relics? Impossible, we've researched for decades and only just touched the roughest contours of the Anti-gravity system. How could they already reach this level?"
But Guo Junyu's performance wasn't over. The Mobile Soldier finally stopped amid high-speed flight. With a crisp mechanical sound, a dark cannon barrel appeared at its chest.
After less than two seconds of energy buildup, a terrifying beam of light, over three meters in diameter, shot out into the distance.
"Boom!" A gigantic mushroom cloud rose from the weapon testing field of the military base, leveling the entire test site with the ground.
"Haha, sorry, sorry, I accidentally overdid it. I'll personally cover the test site's losses!"
This statement sounded like sheer bragging to the others' ears.
"Hahaha, listen, listen, the dean is talking nonsense again!"
"Let me translate: Our Huaxia weapon can destroy the entire test site with one shot. Can you do that?"
"@HuaxiaChineseUniversity, the person above should be directly admitted to graduate school!"
"Who dares to say Huaxia's military technology is not up to par anymore? If you're not convinced, let's have a fight, the dean's Gundam will teach you a lesson!"
"Brothers, do you feel the fear of being dominated by the dean?"
"General Fang, what exactly is this..."
"Oh, this is our army's newly developed single-pilot Mobile Soldier," Fang Jueyu said, "You've all seen its performance and power. It's passable!"
"Passable..." Everyone was speechless. If this could be called passable, weren't their airplanes and tanks just scrap metal?
Compared to Huaxia's Mobile Soldier, theirs were mere remote-controlled toy planes and cars, utterly unworthy of even carrying its shoes.
"General Fang, excuse my rudeness, but is the difficulty of manufacturing this new weapon very high?" Orof asked with a hint of hope. If these Mobile Soldiers couldn't be mass-produced and there were only one or two, then there wouldn't be much impact on the international situation and standings.
"Naturally, it's quite high," Fang Jueyu said with deliberate severity, "With our current capabilities, we've only made one of this model."
"Phew! That's good!" Only then did the thirty-one generals present breathe a sigh of relief. If Huaxia could mass-produce this thing, then Earth would belong to Huaxia, and who would dare compete with them?
"However," Fang Jueyu changed his tone, "We can fully mass-produce slightly lesser models. What we showed just now was merely a glimpse of our army's pinnacle technology. Now, here's what Huaxia has prepared for this military exercise!"
Suddenly, everyone thought of those densely packed giant containers on the aircraft carrier earlier. Could it be that inside them...
