The reason why Marschek's heart was a mix of emotions was quite simple.
Even if he could deceive others, he couldn't change the fact that this car, codenamed Y, was developed by Meng Hao.
In just half a year, Meng Hao had single-handedly researched and designed a new model capable of revolutionizing the global new energy vehicle industry.
If given enough time, and considering other fields of new technology, couldn't Meng Hao then change products in every technological sector worldwide?
Even the military industry.
It was one thing if he only changed technological products in civilian and heavy industry sectors; that wouldn't be too concerning.
But what if Meng Hao directly changed products in the military industry?
That was the most terrifying prospect.
If, given ample time for research, Meng Hao were to develop new technologies, and if Great Xia were given sufficient time to develop them, how many more years would the US still lead the world?
Therefore, it was imperative to quickly instigate global opposition against Great Xia.
Only in this way could the US and other Western nations buy enough time and opportunities for development.
Fortunately, Meng Hao consistently refused to associate with the Great Xia government, which provided a lifeline for the US and other Western countries.
Moreover, according to the spies embedded within Great Xia, Meng Hao's unwillingness to engage with Great Xia's official or military circles was not false information, but a genuine reality.
While the exact reasons for Meng Hao's peculiar obsession, his refusal to cooperate with the military or official bodies, remained unclear, it did present a development opportunity for the US and other Western nations.
The hope was that he would continue to maintain and even amplify this "stubborn" stance.
Watching the dealers present gasp in disbelief, Marschek of Test pulled his thoughts back to the present.
Perhaps there was one point he had overlooked, or more accurately, was unwilling to acknowledge.
When Meng Hao developed the car codenamed Y, he was actually under duress.
And during this period of confinement, Meng Hao's primary focus seemed to be on a submarine capable of stealth even against sonar radar.
It was with this submarine that Meng Hao had managed to escape a joint naval exercise involving multiple nations.
Even with over a thousand large naval vessels and tens of thousands of aircraft from the US and other Western allies, they couldn't locate Meng Hao's whereabouts underwater.
In reality, even if Meng Hao was unwilling to admit it, and even if Marschek was unwilling to contemplate it, the submarine, codenamed Danggui, was, in a sense, a product of the military industry.
Of course, whether Marschek and the entire Western world chose to bury their heads in the sand was their own affair.
Pulling his thoughts back, Marschek, suppressing his inner dissatisfaction and unhappiness, plastered on a smile and began to introduce the new car codenamed Y, newly developed by their company, Test.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
"This model utilizes the latest high-altitude remote sensing technology... that is to say, by leveraging our continuously improving high-altitude Starlink network, we can achieve centimeter-level accuracy. This means that with this model, we have a very high degree of confidence and certainty in achieving the implementation of autonomous driving technology..."
This was essentially blatant wishful thinking.
If autonomous driving could truly be achieved and implemented, Test and Marschek wouldn't have been making such grand pronouncements for years.
However, this was the indigenous technology of Marschek and Test Company, a form of wishful thinking.
But the following two technologies were developed by Meng Hao and were not subject to such doubts.
"And its safety is also something truly remarkable to highlight..."
"Previous new energy vehicles have always had issues with braking. Our model, however, utilizes a composite associative braking system that can predict danger in advance and then initiate braking..."
"Therefore, this is also a selling point, and something unique among all new energy vehicles globally..."
To be honest, Marschek of Test had no real grasp of how this model managed to achieve preemptive detection, early tensioning, and immediate braking.
Previously, with the cooperation of the US military, they had conducted a thorough inspection of the car's control code.
Of course, the primary reason was the concern that Meng Hao might have embedded traps or a backdoor system within these codes.
The NG Battery Company had done something similar before.
Fortunately, after more than ten days of meticulous line-by-line inspection by thousands of code engineers, no backdoors were found.
This greatly surprised the US side.
They even suspected that Meng Hao might have genuinely been unable to do anything else and intended to join the US, hence his diligent research and design of this car.
This left senior US officials extremely frustrated.
If they had discovered earlier how unreliable Bruce was, and had invited Meng Hao to the White House sooner, perhaps Meng Hao would not have left.
It truly was a case of who helps you, also hinders you.
Previously, a significant portion of the credit for luring Meng Hao to the US was due to the late Tommy.
However, it was also Tommy's idiotic son who completely disgusted Meng Hao with the US, leading to his decision to leave.
In fact, Meng Hao's departure had a more severe consequence than if he had never come to the US at all.
At the very least, the credibility of the US had suffered an unprecedented blow.
After introducing the car's active braking technology, Marschek calmly proceeded to the next feature.
"As for the spontaneous combustion issues often found in new energy vehicles, you can rest assured about that as well..."
"This battery has undergone special design, possessing high energy density and capable of a theoretical range of 700 kilometers, its safety is also highly commendable..."
"For instance, we conducted an experiment where even shooting at the car's battery area with an assault rifle did not cause the vehicle to spontaneously combust..."
At this point, Marschek paused deliberately.
He then signaled his assistant to bring up footage of the battery being shot with an assault rifle.
It seemed he was not exaggerating.
Under the barrage of assault rifle fire, the car and battery were riddled with countless bullet holes.
Yet, even so, the vehicle showed no signs of spontaneous combustion.
Furthermore, the assault rifle had specifically avoided the vehicle's engine.
The car, riddled with bullet holes, was turned on with the ignition key.
It managed to start, and even with its severely damaged tires, it drove forward for several tens of meters before finally breaking down.
"My God, this car is simply incredible, terrifying!"
Dealers exclaimed in awe.
