126: Chapter 126 Top-Tier War Machine Unveiled, Named by Wife Himself

Beneath the curtain stood four tall, humanoid silhouettes.

That group of national treasure-level experts, who were usually accustomed to having the final say in their respective fields, were now like believers witnessing a miracle, having even forgotten to regulate their breathing.

Although some of them had participated in the research and development of various components for these Robots, only a few responsible for the final assembly had seen their overall appearance.

But those old codgers were too shrewd; they refused to tell the others what they looked like. It made the rest of them grind their teeth in frustration, and they could only wait for the arrival of the research institute's deputy director and the project's Chief Engineer Lu.

"Chief Engineer Lu, they have been designed entirely according to the 'Rock' architecture you provided. All circuitry is built-in, and the outer frame uses our newly developed high-density titanium-tungsten alloy."

An elderly man with white hair pointed at the curtain and introduced them with an excited tone. "Do you think... it's time to unveil them?"

Lu Li nodded and took the red rope handed to him by the old man; it was clear that pulling this rope would cause the curtain to fall. He didn't hesitate and pulled the rope directly.

In an instant, the curtain fell. Four combat Robots, entirely pitch-black and gleaming with a cold metallic light, came into everyone's view.

Su Qingxue's breathing suddenly stalled at that moment.

The Robots before her were about 2.2 meters tall, with frames full of power, and every inch of armor seemed born for slaughter.

Their surfaces had no superfluous lines or exposed wiring, and the matte black coating absorbed all surrounding light, exuding a heart-stopping, murderous aura.

This was the complete opposite extreme to the friendly and cute design of Doraemon. This was a true... war machine.

What made Lu Li's eyes narrow slightly even more was the weapon they held in their hands.

The cold Type 95 automatic rifle was gripped by their alloy-forged hands, steady as a rock.

There were even two of them holding weapons that Lu Li couldn't recognize; they looked like sniper rifles but were much smaller, and all four Robots had two upward-facing cannon ports on their backs.

These were the missile launchers he had mentioned two months ago during a high-definition video conference, which could be raised via the Robot's operating slide to point upward for aerial firing at any time.

The theoretical precision of their strikes reached an error margin of just 2 meters. And the explosive power could easily reduce the 47-story new Guanghui Technology building to just over ten stories.

At this moment, a feeling called pride surged in Lu Li's chest. Contributing to the nation's military field was an honor that no Huaxia man could resist.

"Let's test them," Lu Li said. "Alright!"

The group went to a nearby observation room, where thick bulletproof glass separated them from the massive outdoor testing ground.

The testing ground simulated a complex desert and Gobi environment, filled with various bunkers and obstacles.

As the order was given, the cameras in the eyes of the four black Robots instantly lit up with red light, like hunters waking in the night.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The four Robots moved!

Without the slightest hesitation, they rushed into the testing ground with speed and coordination that surpassed human limits. Running, sliding, rolling, tactical evasion...

Every movement was fluid, filled with mechanical precision and the violent aesthetics of a beast. They wove between obstacles, and despite their heavy frames, they only made a slight thud upon landing, demonstrating unparalleled balance and control.

Su Qingxue watched intently, subconsciously comparing the military Robots before her with Number 18 at home.

She found that Number 18's movements seemed smoother and more natural, possessing a certain "human touch," and she was more versatile, whereas these four before her were more like killing machines driven to the extreme by programming.

Obviously, her husband had kept an ace up his sleeve; the most cutting-edge technology was still in their own home.

Naturally, she didn't know that it was just her husband being too lazy to pursue further cutting-edge R&D; the technology files rewarded by the system only went this far. Everything beyond that was in his head, but if he wanted to implement it, he would have to stay up late in the laboratory to grind it out.

"Targets appearing!" As targets simulating enemies rose from the depths of the testing ground, the real performance began.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Crisp and continuous gunfire rang out. The four Robots completed aiming and firing almost the instant the targets rose.

On the screens in the observation room, close-up footage of the targets was transmitted simultaneously. Fifty meters, one hundred meters, three hundred meters... All the bullets hit the exact same spot on the bullseye with precision!

"Five-hundred-meter moving target!" As the instructor called out the new task, a fast-moving humanoid target appeared on the distant sand dune.

One of the Robots dropped to one knee, its rifle raised steadily, and the periscope camera in its eyes began to zoom at high speed.

That was the periscope lens scheme provided by Lu Li! The state had upgraded and modified it, stuffing it directly into the Robots' "eyes," granting them visual target acquisition capabilities far exceeding those of humans!

On the screen, through the Robot's first-person perspective, everyone could clearly see the target 300 meters away being rapidly locked on, the rifle's sights micro-adjusting as the target moved.

"Bang!" A single gunshot. The distant moving target fell in response, and a red bullet hole appeared prominently right in the center of its forehead!

"Good!" Thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the observation room. Those elderly experts, well past their prime, were flushed with excitement, hugging each other like children.

They knew what this moment meant. It meant that Huaxia would possess a trump card in the field of individual combat capable of overturning future battlefields!

The test ended perfectly. The white-haired old expert walked up to Lu Li and asked with great anticipation: "Chief Engineer Lu, this batch of epoch-making warriors has not yet been given an official designation. You are their de facto 'father,' please... give them a name!"

Although they were much older than Lu Li, the capable are teachers; in their eyes, a genius like Lu Li was simply beyond human comprehension. Perhaps he was an existence on the same level as Einstein? It was just a pity that he had gone astray, only knowing how to live the life of an ordinary person at home.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Lu Li. Su Qingxue also looked at her husband with a hint of expectation; she was also curious about what kind of domineering name Lu Li would give these steel warriors.

Lu Li, however, smiled. He turned around, gently took Su Qingxue's hand, and pulled her in front of him. "This opportunity should be decided by President Su of Guanghui Technology."

The whole room was stunned. Immediately after, those old experts and generals all revealed knowing smiles. The looks they gave Su Qingxue were filled with goodwill and envy.

Entrusting the naming of the nation's heavy weaponry. This seemingly simple gesture was the highest level of romance and respect that Lu Li could give his wife.

Su Qingxue's heart was instantly filled with sweetness and pride. She looked at the four black war gods standing still before her, feeling the majestic aura of Guarding the Frontiers and protecting the motherland emanating from them. A name emerged naturally in her mind.

She took a deep breath and said in a cold yet firm voice: "Let's call them... 'Guarding the Frontiers', the Guarding the Frontiers-T001 model."

Guarding the Frontiers! Guarding the nation's borders! "Good name!" The old general applauded loudly, "Guarding the Frontiers, what a great Guarding the Frontiers! This name is worthy of them!"

Just then, the general who had previously reprimanded the lieutenant solemnly took a red, gold-stamped invitation from the Guard beside him. He walked with steady steps to Lu Li and handed the invitation over with both hands.

"Chief Engineer Lu, Ms. Su." "Approved by the highest level." "We now formally invite you both to attend the celebration on October 1st of this year."

Lu Li took the invitation. On the cover, the gold-stamped characters "10.1" seemed to carry the weight of a thousand jin. He knew the value of this invitation.

It meant that when the time came, he would be qualified to stand on that highly anticipated red rostrum. Perhaps his position would be further back, but this was already supreme honor bestowed by the state upon someone not truly within the system.

The general looked at Lu Li, his eyes filled with a hint of excitement and anticipation. "At that time, the 'Guarding the Frontiers' Robot phalanx will also serve as one of the finales for this military parade, making its debut to the entire world!"

Lu Li gripped the invitation, the heroic spirit in his heart erupting like a volcano. He looked at Su Qingxue beside him; his wife's eyes were also shining with a brilliant light.

He knew that from this moment on, the fate of Guanghui Technology was tightly bound to this great nation. And he would personally equip this sleeping lion with the sharpest technological Ya Ya.
