127: Chapter 127 Saber-Toothed Fangs, the Ferocious Beast of the Nation

The old general with stars on his shoulders led Lu Li and Su Qingxue deeper into the base.

Passing through an even thicker alloy isolation door, a much larger independent space was revealed.

The atmosphere here was several times more solemn than the "Guarding the Frontiers" testing ground from just a moment ago.

The air was filled with a cold scent of machine oil and metal.

"Chief Engineer Lu, 'Guarding the Frontiers' is the conventional ground combat unit you designed, but here..."

The general's face showed uncontrollable fanaticism.

"This is the special assault force from your concepts."

He pointed to the center of the arena.

There, a steel beast lay silently.

It was not humanoid, but on all fours, exuding a sense of raw, wild power.

Its appearance resembled a prehistoric saber-toothed tiger, with two massive alloy fangs protruding from its upper jaw, flashing with a terrifying cold light.

Its entire body was covered in complex desert camouflage, allowing its massive frame to blend perfectly into the Gobi background behind it.

Mounted on its back was a ferocious six-barreled rotary heavy machine gun, its pitch-black muzzle seeming capable of swallowing everything.

Behind the machine gun was a compact vertical missile launch nest.

Su Qingxue's heart was gripped tightly once again.

If "Guarding the Frontiers" was a disciplined steel soldier, then this beast before her was a killing weapon born purely to tear enemies apart!

"'Ya Ya', we have temporarily named it 'Ya Ya' based on your design."

An old expert in charge of the project walked up quickly, his tone full of excitement and a hint of confusion.

"Chief Engineer, its mobility and off-road capability completely exceeded our imagination! But... ammunition loading is a big problem."

He pointed to the missile launch nest, a hint of regret on his face.

"Especially the missiles; limited by its size and internal structure, 'Ya Ya' can currently carry at most ten. Once they are fired, it must return to the base for resupply, which is fatal on a rapidly changing battlefield."

The surrounding experts nodded one after another; this problem had plagued them for over half a month.

This quadrupedal Robot tiger was undoubtedly a super killer on the battlefield, but its endurance had become its greatest weakness.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li just nodded calmly.

He walked to a tactical command console to the side, where there was a huge touch screen.

"Pull up its 3D structural diagram."

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.

Immediately, staff projected the internal structure of "Ya Ya" onto the huge screen.

Lu Li's ten fingers turned into phantoms on the screen.

He did not directly modify the design of "Ya Ya", as that would affect the whole body.

His train of thought had jumped out of this framework from the very beginning.

Since a single unit could not solve the ammunition problem, he would equip it with a mobile "logistics officer".

In the astonished gazes of everyone, a brand-new blueprint took shape at lightning speed under his hands, assisted by AI.

That was a... brand-new war machine!

Its chassis was a sturdy and stable tracked structure, like a heavy armored transport vehicle.

But its upper body was a Robot form with two thick mechanical arms capable of 360-degree rotation!

And its rear half was a huge, modular ammunition compartment!

"This... this is..."

All the experts present, including the old general, crowded over, staring fixedly at the screen, their eyes wide as copper bells.

"A battlefield supply unit."

Lu Li's voice sounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

"It can autonomously replenish ammunition and energy for 'Ya Ya' and even 'Guarding the Frontiers' on the battlefield. Its mechanical arms can complete loading operations more accurately and quickly than human labor."

"Even..."

Lu Li's finger tapped lightly on the screen.

On the blueprint, two small anti-aircraft cannons slowly rose from the shoulders of the supply Robot.

"It also has certain defensive and offensive capabilities itself."

Silence.

The entire huge space fell into a deathly silence.

Only the faint humming of instruments remained.

Everyone seemed to have been hit by a freezing spell, their minds completely blank.

The problem they had been thinking about for over half a month, the plan that had been overturned and redone countless times...

In front of this excessively young Chief Engineer, it took less than ten minutes to provide a... perfect, ultimate solution!

This was no longer just genius.

This was a monster!

"Feasible! Absolutely feasible!"

An old expert in charge of structural mechanics adjusted his reading glasses, trembling with excitement.

"The tracked chassis ensures stability, the Robot upper body solves the loading difficulty, and the modular ammunition compartment is a genius design! Chief Engineer Lu, how exactly is your brain built?"

Su Qingxue stood behind Lu Li, watching her husband's back as he stood calmly before the huge screen, pointing out the landscape.

Watching the national treasure-level scientists around them cast gazes mixed with fanaticism, worship, and awe toward her husband.

At this moment, the pride and love in her heart were almost overflowing.

This was her man.

A man who was usually as lazy as a cat, but could transform into a pillar of heaven when the country needed him.

Before leaving the military district, the old general specifically took them to view the "Titan" project from a distance, which had not yet been fully assembled.

That was a heavy mecha, four meters tall, requiring a human pilot to enter its chest cavity for direct neural connection operation.

It was the ultimate romance belonging to men.

In the evening, the black bulletproof Hongqi car drove steadily on the highway returning to Mingzhu City.

The carriage was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.

Su Qingxue was still a bit dazed, the figures of those steel beasts replaying in her mind.

She knew that besides "Guarding the Frontiers" and "Ya Ya", there were many models she hadn't seen.

For example, smaller Robot dogs for reconnaissance and urban warfare.

Compared to humanoid Robots that require complex algorithms to maintain balance, these quadrupedal or multi-legged war machines were technically less difficult and easier to mass-produce.

She dared not imagine what kind of earth-shattering scene it would be when these steel legions truly stepped onto the battlefield.

Everything she saw today had completely overturned her perception of this world.

How many more things capable of changing the world's landscape were stored in her man's brain?

Su Qingxue could no longer suppress the agitation in her heart; she leaned over proactively, resting her head gently on Lu Li's shoulder, her hands tightly wrapping around his arm.

It was as if only in this way could she confirm that this man who had created miracles before her eyes truly belonged to her.

"Having watched iron lumps all day, do you feel a bit bored?"

Lu Li took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her slender waist, lowering his head to whisper in her ear.

Su Qingxue shook her head, her cold eyes filled with worshipful soft light at this moment.

"Not bored, I just think... you must be very tired from doing so much for the country."

Lu Li raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"It is quite tiring."

"Then how does CEO Su plan to reward me?"

Su Qingxue raised her head, looking at his deep eyes close at hand, her cheeks inexplicably flushed.

"What reward do you want? I will promise you anything."

She was now a completely fallen husband-protecting maniac; never mind a reward, if Lu Li wanted the stars in the sky, she would immediately go check the quotes for rocket launches.

Lu Li leaned into her ear, lowering his voice, speaking at a volume only the two of them could hear.

"I remember last time on the internet, you secretly bought a blue and white porcelain-style cheongsam..."
