Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 646: Section 642 - Takeover

Manned primary combat mobile armors are generally only three to four meters tall, weighing between 3-12 tons, which are somewhat equivalent to an extra-large version of individual exoskeleton tactical armors, with full power support. Their mobility performance, functional modules, and number of tactical equipment plugins far exceed those of any single soldier tactical armors.

Large combat mobile armors, similar to the concept of the Mechanical Dragon by Louis Industries, are as tall as two or three stories and generally represent the upper limit in size. Their design is often constrained by their own weight, structural strength, mobility, and endurance, and they rarely employ bipedal stepping. Instead, they rely on multipedal movement to distribute ground pressure and ensure sufficient mobility. However, such designs are seldom used in combat, being more common in logistics support and construction, acting as versatile engineering machinery.

Super large mobile armors, reaching the height of six or seven stories, essentially do not exist. Their weight mostly exceeds a hundred tons, and unless they are transported entirely by air, the ground infrastructure simply cannot withstand them. Each step would be like stepping into a quagmire, making it difficult to maintain mobility. They would undoubtedly be excellent moving targets, less tactically valuable than tracked ground armored vehicles.

"This one, I'll take it!"

Chen Fei snapped his fingers.

"Oh yes, oh yes!"

The female Metallic Giant Dragon brought her huge head closer, thrilled beyond words.

One could tell, she really liked this concept product.

What a rare find!

"Eh?"

The sales staff from the Tactical Weapons Department of Louis Industries were taken aback, their faces changing as they realized they had been too enthusiastic and misspoken.

This Mechanical Dragon was, after all, nothing more than a concept luxury product excessively reliant on advanced technology, craftsmanship, and materials piling. It had no practical combat significance. To be exact, it was not for sale, not even worth the cost of mass production.

The sales staff shook their head frantically, saying, "No, no, no, it's not a combat weapon, it doesn't even have weapon plugins, it's not merchandise meant for formal sale."

As much as it was promoted, the Mechanical Dragon was only for show-off purposes and not meant to be sold to outsiders.

If Louis Industries dared to mass-produce this thing, they wouldn't need a year to go bankrupt, that was certain.

"No! I want this one!"

Chen Fei had not given up, pointing to the Mechanical Dragon that was seven meters high and over sixteen meters long from head to tail, nearly the same size as Yilan next to it.

An opportunity of a zero-cost purchase, coupled with a manufacturer's warranty, just take it and go.

"This... really won't work!"

The sales staff looked troubled, cursing themselves for being talkative and building castles in the sky. If this were to be tested on the actual battlefield, wouldn't it be a joke?

If they dared to let it go so easily, they would definitely be hung up and used as a target practice by their boss, but it was difficult to refuse outright to Chen Fei's face.

One moment full of bragging, the next pulling up the list.

"Have you made your choice?"

Louis Landon, the president of Louis Industrial Company, walked over.

The sales staff from the Tactical Weapons Department hastily said, "Mr. Randon, he wants this Mechanical Dragon, but, but..."

Louis Landon held many titles; president, chairman, or whatever else, commonly addressed as 'Mr.' both inside and outside the company.

"No worries, just give it to him, it's nothing but a display anyway."

Louis Landon did not mind Chen Fei taking advantage, as they already provided sponsorship without cost; a little more in giveaways wouldn't hurt, and the Mechanical Dragon's value couldn't compare to the cumulative quantity of those tactical equipment.

Moreover, as far as he was concerned, it was probably the Metallic Giant Dragon next to him that had been tempted by its appearance—it was too easy to understand.

Things are there to be used, and being eaten is the same.

"Yes... Mr.!"

With the word from the higher-up, the sales staff could no longer object.

The president is indeed generous!

"That... Chen Fei, can you eat it?"

The female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan nudged Chen Fei with her head, directly causing him to squat abruptly.

She had smelled many rare metals on the body of the Mechanical Dragon, especially rare earth elements, which were highly attractive to Metallic Dragons. Its unique shape was simply too tempting for Yilan not to want to consume it in massive bites, leaving none to waste.

"Of course, you can't eat me! Ah, you mean that..."

Chen Fei wasn't upset, after all, it was a giant dragon and couldn't be precise in controlling its strength. Besides, he wasn't made of clay that would shatter with a nudge, but gazing at the Mechanical Dragon, he quickly came to realize.

"Yilan, let me try it out first—if it's useless, then it's all yours."

If it's useless, it's junk, and converting it into energy points isn't as good as feeding it to the dragon.

"Useless? Shouldn't it be 'inedible' instead?"

Yilan was confused. If she could eat it, so could Chen Fei.

Use?

Could the Mechanical Dragon be more useful than her?

She was not preventing Chen Fei from riding her, which made Yilan find it hard to understand Chen Fei's thoughts.

"Adam, it's up to you now!"

Chen Fei disconnected his "Universal Data Transceiver" from his left wrist and found the data port on the Mechanical Dragon, docking it there.

Two "bracelets" hang on his left wrist, the thinner one being a health band with a time display function and the other the "Universal Data Transceiver". Now, a Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemical Storage Magical Artifact had joined the collection on his right wrist.

Troublesome items were on the rise.

Adam: Detected X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor, recognizes the "Cybertrom" auxiliary AI, overwrite?

Chen Fei: Overwrite!

At that moment, the AI of the Mechanical Dragon was offline and no match for "Adam". Holding the advantage, Chen Fei promptly overpowered it.
