He Tingting entered the address information and mission requirements into the battle robot's chip, "Divine Dragon, exterminate this small pirate organization."
The battle robot walked out, and a very large monitor in the laboratory displayed its figure as soon as it left; everyone was watching the screen.
The battle robot's feet emitted blue flames as it shot up into the sky and instantly flew into the high altitudes.
The screen continuously showed the figure of the battle robot, which remained within surveillance range no matter how fast it flew.
Curious, Qin Hao asked He Tingting, "This battle robot is called Divine Dragon?"
He Tingting replied with a smile, "Divine Dragon is the totem of Xuan Country, isn't it? I plan to incorporate the battle robots we produce into a unified legion called Divine Dragon Army. What do you think?"
"Divine Dragon Army? That's a pretty good name," Qin Hao acknowledged with a nod.
Miao Jing didn't say anything. Such matters should have been her decision, but it seemed that He Tingting and Qin Hao had a close relationship, and with He Tingting being the boss of the lab, her status was certain to rise in the future.
While they conversed, the battle robot arrived above a small island, hovering quietly dozens of meters above, looking down at the area below.
This was a small pirate organization's base, with five or six speedboats and over thirty pirate members on the island.
They generally preyed on passing merchant ships or cruise liners.
Several buildings on the island housed people lying outside sunbathing with weapons in hand, while others were in the rooms doing that sort of thing with captured women.
The island had quite a few slaves, both men and women, though fewer men and many women.
The battle robot descended from the sky, landing directly outside those buildings.
The person on patrol who spotted it first called out, "Who is there?"
The battle robot turned to look, causing the eight or nine people on guard to freeze for a moment in shock: What the hell was this, human or ghost?
The battle robot's right hand rose, emitting beam after beam of light that struck and instantly killed the nine people.
Shrieks awoke people inside the building, and then, one after another, individuals armed with guns ran out, freezing for a moment when they saw what was outside before opening fire on the battle robot.
Without dodging, the battle robot stood still, its chest plate opening to reveal six dark barrel ports.
Beams of light shot out in an instant, turning the people who rushed out to ashes under the onslaught of the energy cannons.
Then, the battle robot charged inside and killed everyone there, collecting a considerable amount of cash, gold, diamonds, and jewelry from the battle.
There were about twenty women left on the island, all captured by the pirates to be slaves.
Seeing the disheveled women with hollow gazes, Du Wanrou spoke up, "Mr. Qin, let's bring them to our island."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Yes, alright."
The battle robot gathered the female slaves and managed to board them onto a relatively large ship, then set sail for Pu'er Island.
At that moment, Miao Jing also received a message from the robot; the people dispatched to eradicate the Tiger Shark Pirate Organization had returned.
Miao Jing informed Mr. Qin, "The entire Tiger Shark Pirate Organization has been eliminated. They also rescued almost a hundred slaves, mostly women and some men, along with valuables worth over ten billion including cash, gold, diamonds, and other items."
After eradicating those two pirate organizations, Qin Hao directly profited over ten billion, indeed nothing was quicker than amassing cash through plunder.
No wonder nations always sought war in the past, the spoils of war came without cost, and one could even rob with righteousness and impunity.
After testing the combat robots' performance, Qin Hao said to He Tingting, "The combat robots are quite good. Start mass production in the base's production line."
He Tingting reminded him, "Mr. Qin, the cost of one combat robot is around five million Federation dollars."
Qin Hao, "Don't worry about the cost, just start production. Wan Rou, take me to see the F-class mecha."
Leaving the laboratory, Qin Hao, Du Wanrou, and Miao Jing arrived at the place where the F-class mecha was being produced.
Inside, hundreds of robots were at work manufacturing mecha, which are products of high precision and difficulty and among the hardest to produce.
Miao Jing picked up an item resembling a belt and said, "Mr. Qin, this is the F-class mecha. It has an ownership recognition feature, which means once recognition is established, only the owner or someone they permit can use it."
After she finished speaking, she placed the mecha belt around Qin Hao's waist, and soon after, Qin Hao felt a wave of consciousness entering his mind.
"Welcome to using War God mecha, would you like to activate the mecha?"
The mecha enveloped him, instantly covering his entire body. The left hand of the mecha had a laser gun, with a barrel for a laser cannon beneath it.
The right arm also featured a barrel for a laser cannon, but nothing on top. This was the spot for the laser sword, intended for close combat and incredibly powerful.
The laser sword, a high-energy oscillating blade, could slice through very tough metals, even the current F-class metal.
In front of the mecha was a laser cannon firing bay, and on the back, something the size of a backpack—that was the Beam Energy Cannon!
The power of the mecha far surpassed that of the combat robots, and it could even be said to annihilate combat robots in seconds.
The underwater base had ample space, so he tested its performance and then took it off, "Hmm, very good. How many have been produced now?"
Miao Jing spoke up, "Ten. The research costs for this thing are high, around fifty million Federation dollars for one mecha."
Qin Hao, "It's fine, just proceed with the production, don't worry about the money."
Miao Jing, "The Beam Recharge Cannon has also been produced, and the energy shields are already set up."
The defenses of Pu'er Island were now as solid as iron, fearful of no assault, even if the Northern Federation were to bring its full might against it, it would be to no avail.
Qin Hao said to Miao Jing and Du Wanrou, "Take two of these ten mechas for yourselves, the others I need to give to them."
Du Wanrou and Miao Jing nodded, knowing to whom Qin Hao intended to give the mechas.
Qin Hao then returned to the laboratory, calling He Tingting out. When He Tingting stepped out from the laboratory and saw him, she said, "Let's talk at my place."
Her living quarters were inside the underwater base, and the room was quite nicely arranged.
Upon arriving in the room, He Tingting was about to change clothes, when Qin Hao hastily said, "Tingting, I came to talk to you because there's something important."
"What is it?" He Tingting asked curiously.
Qin Hao, "The form of the combat robots doesn't have to be limited to human shapes; they can be a variety of animals or birds. Of course, we will use whatever form is best suited for combat, but they must all be capable of aerial combat."
