Chapter 270 The Abnormal Robot, It Disintegrates at the Touch
Song Bangren felt a surge of electric excitement rush from his spine to his brain—this was his dream for many years: to personally pilot the combat armor he designed.
He solemnly saluted Wang Jianjun: "I guarantee to complete the mission, Director!"
The sirens continued to blare, and the monitoring screens displayed live footage of the metropolitan area: dozens of silver mechanical units descended from the sky, their shapes and movements consistent, moving across the city.
Above the city, a small Goblin reconnaissance ship hovered, continuously releasing more mechanical units.
"Prepare to activate the fire armor!" Wang Jianjun ordered, turning to the other technicians, "Activate the remote monitoring system and record all combat data. Medical team, stand by; report any abnormalities in energy parameters immediately!"
The energy field in the center of the laboratory slowly dissipated, and the red armor—the "Fire Armor" from the Five Elements series—suspended silently in mid-air.
Its design combines practicality and aesthetics. The energy patterns flowing on the red shell resemble the dragon patterns of ancient China, and the energy core on its chest flashes with a stable blue light.
The overall design is streamlined and compact, combining the mystique of the Naga with the practical design of modern mecha.
Song Bangren quickly walked to the changing area, where technicians helped him put on a specially made neural connection suit—a black suit that fit snugly against his skin and was covered with tiny sensors.
"Neural connectivity system check complete!"
"Energy core stability is normal!"
"The entire drive system is online!"
All preparations were carried out in an orderly manner thanks to efficient teamwork.
Song Bangren stood beneath the fire armor, took a deep breath, and calmed his excited emotions.
“Dr. Song.” Wang Jianjun walked to his side, his tone unusually gentle. “Remember, this is just a live-fire test. The main objective is to collect data and evaluate the armor’s performance. Don’t be greedy and act rashly.”
"If the situation gets out of control, evacuate immediately, understand?"
"Understood, Director." Song Bangren nodded, his eyes shining with determination.
"Activate the neural connection program!" Wang Jianjun ordered.
The laboratory lights dimmed, leaving only the bright red glow around the armor.
Song Bangren felt a strange pulling force slowly lifting him into the air, parallel to the suspended fire armor.
Then, the armor disintegrated like liquid, precisely wrapping around his body, with each armor plate perfectly aligning with the corresponding sensors on the neural connection suit.
When the helmet finally covered Song Bangren's face, a complex holographic display interface appeared in his field of vision, with various data streams scrolling rapidly.
Even more surprisingly, he felt his senses suddenly expand—the armor seemed to become an extension of his body, and every tiny movement received a precise response.
"Neural connection successful! Synchronization rate 87%, exceeding expectations!" the technicians reported excitedly.
"The energy core is stable, and all systems are operating normally!" another technician reported.
Wang Jianjun nodded in satisfaction: "Open the underground passage, leading directly to the outside. Dr. Song, are you ready?"
Song Bangren, inside the fire armor, flexed his fingers, feeling this unprecedented power: "Ready, Director, requesting permission to attack!"
"Offensive approved! Be careful and bring glory to the nation!"
The wall on one side of the laboratory slowly parted, revealing a long, sloping corridor.
The fire armor's leg nozzles glowed with a dazzling red light, and Song Bangren leaped lightly, rushing towards the ground through the passage.
As he burst through the ground exit, the dazzling sunlight shone on the surface of the fire armor, reflecting a striking red light.
Song Bangren paused briefly in the air as the system quickly calculated the optimal route. He then flew towards the city center, leaving a graceful arc in his red energy trail.
Above the city, the Goblin reconnaissance ship seemed to notice the rapidly approaching red object, immediately changed course, and released more mechanical units to intercept it.
"Enemy units detected turning towards our side, prepare to engage!" Song Bangren reported through the communication system, while adjusting his posture to prepare for the first wave of attacks.
Three silver mechanical units arrived first. They resembled round-headed robots, each far exceeding human height, reaching two meters in height. Two metal legs supported their round bodies, and seven orange glowing orbs adorned their faces.
Song Bangren made a fighting gesture, only to find that the other party ignored him and walked past.
They completely ignored the heavily armed fire armor and continued to proceed along a pre-planned route.
"What's going on?" Song Bangren asked through the communication system, his voice filled with obvious doubt. "They seem to be completely unresponsive to me."
Inside the laboratory, Wang Jianjun and his technical team also observed this unexpected situation.
“Strange,” Wang Jianjun frowned. “Stay alert, Dr. Song. This could be some kind of trap or special tactic. Continue to monitor their movements, but don’t attack first. Figure out their purpose first.”
Song Bangren cautiously lowered his altitude and maintained a certain distance from these mechanical units.
He noted that the robots moved in perfect unison, advancing in a military-style, precise formation, but did not exhibit any aggressive or destructive behavior.
Through the enhanced vision system of the Fire Armor, Song Bangren further observed that each robot had a small blue device on its chest that continuously emitted weak pulse signals.
Strangely, however, he did not detect any life signs through the life detection module of the fire armor.
"Director, these robots are not biosynthetic machines. My equipment has not detected any life signs."
"That's a pure robot. The kind of robot that the director is is very suitable for research."
"Our radar did not detect them when they appeared on the ground."
Wang Jianjun immediately gave the order: "Since that's the case..."
"Dr. Song, the attack ban has been lifted."
"We must protect the lives and property of the residents."
"Understood!" Song Bangren replied, his voice filled with excitement.
This is the first time the Fire Armor has been tested in front of so many people since its development began.
He understood that this time was very important, so he was very careful with every action.
Song Bangren calmly analyzed the situation before him.
These robots seemed indifferent to their surroundings, focused solely on some unknown task. Their routes appeared very clear, as if they were searching for a specific target.
"Let's see what you're looking for," Song Bangren muttered to himself, while quickly devising an interception strategy.
He activated his propulsion system, and after a graceful arc of flight, landed about ten meters in front of the robot corps.
Fire Armor stood firmly on the ground, its arms crossed in front of its chest, assuming a clear blocking posture.
"Halt!" Song Bangren announced through the external loudspeaker, his voice firm and powerful. "You have entered the protected area!"
Surprisingly, the robot team continued to move forward at a constant speed, completely ignoring the red obstacle.
The three leading robots even adjusted their route, preparing to bypass the fire armor and continue forward.
“They continue to ignore my warnings,” Song Bangren reported to headquarters. “Prepare to take coercive measures.”
Inside the laboratory, Wang Jianjun stared intently at the holographic display screen: "Approval for the use of appropriate force."
"Try knocking down one sample first and observe the reactions of the other units."
Song Bangren nodded in confirmation and quickly launched an attack.
He chose the simplest tactic: after a short sprint, the Fire Armor's right leg flashed with red energy as it precisely kicked the frontmost robot in the chest.
The force of the blow was just right, enough to make the robot lose its balance, but not enough to cause serious damage.
However, this silver mechanical creature fell apart at the slightest touch.
Song Bangren was somewhat bewildered.
No, he only used half his strength, how could it fall apart so easily?
That shouldn't be the case.
The entire robot corps immediately stopped advancing.
"There's a reaction!" Song Bangren reported alertly, while simultaneously adopting a defensive stance.
Before he finished speaking, all the robots turned towards the Fire Armor at the same time, and the seven orange glowing objects suddenly turned into a dazzling red and attacked Song Bangren.
The robot didn't conjure any weapons; it simply used its body as a weapon to attack.
Wang Jianjun frowned. According to intelligence, these robots were difficult for even the Victory Team to deal with.
But it's clearly impossible that the fire armor was shattered with a single blow.
The number of Max power cores at headquarters will only increase, not decrease.
