The test begins in earnest.
From the cameras installed within the Huayong Industrial factory grounds, it was clearly visible.
Under Meng Hao’s control, the mech was moving along the straight, paved factory road towards the main gate.
What was peculiar was that.
From the main screen, it could be seen that the large mech piloted by Meng Hao was lifting its legs to an extreme degree as it walked, even emitting thudding sounds as its mechanical footsteps shook the ground.
However.
From the top right corner of the main screen, the view inside Meng Hao’s cockpit.
No matter how large the external mech’s movements were, Meng Hao, who lay reclined on the ergonomic chair pressed against his spine, remained remarkably stable.
This level of shock absorption was nothing short of miraculous.
The mech slowly exited the factory grounds and stood on the highway outside the gate.
Meng Hao’s will shifted.
The commands were transmitted through the nerve cables attached to his body to the mech’s core processing unit.
The next second.
Great force surged.
The powerful G-force, pushing him back into his seat, instantly sent Meng Hao’s adrenaline and testosterone levels soaring.
In the image.
The mech, with its matte metallic finish.
The eight main drive turbines on the rear of its legs were at full throttle.
The rapidly gushing airflow provided a powerful reaction force for the mech to move forward.
In almost an instant.
The mech achieved a leap from zero to three hundred kilometers per hour.
The deafening roar of the engines was incessant.
According to Meng Hao’s plan.
The first leg of the journey was eastward.
About five to six kilometers from Shilin, a third-tier city.
There were few people and vehicles.
But they were the lucky ones.
Hundreds of pedestrians and drivers.
Saw a giant mech roaring past by the roadside.
The gale force wind swept over them.
Some frail girls were almost blown over.
“Holy crap.”
“What did I just see?”
“A giant mech?”
“Mommy, come quick, the aliens are invading Earth!”
“You guys don’t know how lucky I am, I actually filmed a mech… this isn’t a sci-fi movie, I haven’t been drinking, it’s really a mech, I’ve already uploaded the video.”
“…”
In almost an instant.
Countless reposted videos of the mech speeding away appeared on major online platforms across Great Xia. And the source of these reposts were all users from the small city of Shilin!
Qin Muyan frantically manipulated the switching rights of the hundreds of cameras that Meng Hao had granted her.
She was so busy that she didn’t even have time to manage and host the live stream!
Well.
The audience, who were already completely stunned, had no desire to hear Qin Muyan’s commentary at this moment.
In the face of such a colossal entity as a mech, let alone Qin Muyan, even if Yang Guifei were reborn and Diaochan were to reappear, they wouldn’t care!
Seeing that the outline of Shilin City was already visible.
Meng Hao issued another command.
The mech instantly turned, heading straight for the sea.
“Holy crap.”
“Awesome!”
“At a speed of over three hundred kilometers per hour, it actually managed an instantaneous turn.”
“Even the world’s top fighter jets cannot achieve a pivot turn at subsonic speeds.”
“Holy crap, over three hundred kilometers per hour, that’s already subsonic, and to make an immediate turn at such high speeds, even composite aviation titanium alloy would be torn apart by the immense centrifugal force!”
…
Shilin was a coastal city.
It was past ten in the morning, and many fishermen who relied on fishing had already set out to sea.
Their boats were not large, and they generally only caught fish and shrimp within three to five kilometers of the coastline.
Then.
The next second.
They witnessed a scene they would never forget.
A giant, metallic mech, weighing no less than thirty tons, was actually running on the surface of the ocean.
With the mech’s subsonic speed and the slanted turbine jets on its legs,
The mech was actually gliding across the ocean!
This was simply outrageous.
Of course.
Meng Hao, in the cockpit, found these fishermen constantly taking out their phones and filming the mech’s trajectory to be a bit of a fuss.
As long as there was enough power, even a brick could fly.
Moreover, it was merely floating and gliding just above the ocean surface.
Ten minutes later.
The four small turbine jets of the mech controlled by Meng Hao engaged.
The mech, weighing 37 tons.
Amidst the exclamations from the live stream and the fishermen at sea, it elegantly performed another原地转身 (yuan di zhuan shen -原地转动, turning on the spot), heading straight for the Ten Thousand Mountains west of Shilin.
This was the final leg of the test.
It was also the section with the most precipitous and complex terrain.
Running on the highway could only demonstrate the mech’s speed.
Gliding on the sea was sufficient to showcase the mech’s power.
But to test the mech’s maneuverability, it needed to traverse steep rocky terrain.
As Qin Muyan continuously switched camera angles.
A very bizarre scene unfolded.
The Huayong i-type mech, produced by Huayong Industrial and piloted by Meng Hao,
It was approaching the Ten Thousand Mountains, but its speed did not decrease at all.
The rocks were right in front of it.
It was about to collide with the steep cliff face.
“Holy crap.”
“Stop!”
“It’s going to crash.”
“This cliff is at least thirty meters high, if it hits, even if the mech is strong enough, the immense impact would jolt the pilot’s brain into a mush!”
“Brother Hao, even if you have extreme confidence in the mech’s collision resistance and shock absorption, there’s no need to risk your life. A slight misstep could be fatal!”
“…”
Meng Hao, who was concentrating fully on controlling the mech, couldn’t see the bullet comments.
Qin Muyan, who was responsible for managing and hosting the live stream, was almost crying from fear.
Any player who has ridden a roller coaster knows that.
The most thrilling parts are the right-angle turns or the drops on inclines.
Even if logic clearly tells the brain that the roller coaster is safe and poses no life threat.
Human instinctual fear will still twitch the facial muscles and pulmonary sacs, leading to heart-wrenching screams!
The danger Meng Hao was in at this moment was far greater than a roller coaster with slow speed, gentle slopes, and mild angles.
As it was about to collide.
Less than half a meter from the cliff face.
Most people even thought that Meng Hao’s mech control had malfunctioned.
In a flash!
The ten-meter-high, thirty-seven-ton mech bent its legs, and the eight main turbine jets on its legs, along with the four directional auxiliary turbine jets on its shoulders, simultaneously rotated. In almost 1/10th of a second, they changed from horizontal propulsion to an 85° downward angle.
The mech.
Like a vertical take-off and landing fighter jet.
With the powerful hydraulic ejection force of its legs and the action of the twelve main and auxiliary turbine jets, it easily leaped onto the cliff face over thirty meters high.
Its speed did not decrease at all.
The mech perfectly took off, landed, stood firmly on the cliff, and continued its advance.
A brief silence.
Then, the gifts and bullet comments in the live stream turned into a torrential downpour.
Everyone was utterly stunned by Meng Hao’s thrilling mech performance.
“Damn, you scared me to death.”
“Brother Hao, can you not be so amazing!”
“Show-off, this is simply heavenly!”
“My heart actually skipped a beat just now!”
“…”
The live stream experienced its first climax of mech review!
