Feeling Judith’s gaze, Kegelo could only grit his teeth and say to the researchers beside him, “Bring out our Daring Mecha and Diamond Mecha.”

Soon, two mechas were brought out.

One of the mechas was approximately two and a half meters tall, painted silver, and had an overall design somewhat similar to the oversized Iron battle suits seen in movies. If it weren’t for the large bulge on its back, it would have looked quite impressive.

The other mecha was sixteen meters tall with an exceptionally bulky body. Its legs consisted of wheels almost as tall as a person, and its body was covered in metal frameworks and a mess of exposed, chaotic wiring.

“Director Judith, this is our research. The former is the Daring Mecha, built with a new type of aluminum alloy composite material. Its weight is only one-third that of traditional steel, meeting the demands for lightness while still providing decent defense capabilities,” said Kegelo.

As Kegelo spoke, a tester approached the Daring Mecha.

The mecha’s back could open to allow entry. The tester first stuffed their feet in and then bent down to crawl inside the mecha.

Whirr!

As the mecha’s sensors adhered to the tester’s skin, the machine suddenly came to life.

It began to move in front of Judith with somewhat stiff movements.

But these movements made Judith frown, and the military representative, General MacKen, couldn’t help but blurt out, “Fuck, it’s slower than my grandma taking a walk, and it’s so ugly. My soldiers are going to be laughed at by the enemy if they go into battle wearing this turtle battle armor.”

As the Daring Mecha walked, the giant whirring noise it emitted could be heard. The raised bump on its back, resembling a turtle shell, made it extremely difficult for the mecha to turn, squat, or jump, making it look like a patient with polio—truly a pitiful sight.

“General MacKen, we are limited by our energy sources and could only use batteries. To ensure the mecha’s endurance, we had to use a large battery pack,” Kegelo explained embarrassingly, even though they had used lightweight aluminum alloy, the two and a half meter mecha was still overweight. In order to power the mecha, they had to maximize the battery count, causing the mecha to carry a turtle shell full of battery packs.

Furthermore, due to limitations in transmission and joint technologies, the entire mecha’s movements were very rigid.

During the test, the Daring Mecha picked up a weapon to undergo further testing. It lifted an M2 heavy machine gun, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.

Flames spewed forth, and shells scattered as the immense recoil caused the mecha’s arm to lift and the barrel to rise. The arm malfunctioned due to severe vibrations, and the mecha’s arm and right shoulder joint froze.

“Damn it, I can’t stop it,” the tester inside the mecha exclaimed as their face turned pale, stumbling around while the gun began to sway unpredictably.

A burst of bullets flew overhead, close to General MacKen and Judith, who immediately hit the ground, their faces turning white with fear.

“Idiot, quickly activate the emergency power cutoff,” Kegelo cursed, jumping up and urgently reminding the operator.

A dozen seconds later, with the power cut off, the Daring Mecha finally came to a halt.

Meanwhile, General MacKen got up from the ground, his face flushed with rage as he yelled at Kegelo, “Shit, what kind of crap mecha is this? I nearly lost my life just now. I will never allow such junk to be included in our military procurement, never!”

Judith’s expression was ugly as she said, “So this is what Boston Dynamics has developed for the single soldier mecha? I see no merits to it at all. The movements are sluggish and rigid, the failure rate is high. It’s more likely to destroy itself than be taken down by the enemy. Is this the result of billions of dollars of research?”

Compared to the biological armor enhancements of Jieke Group for their soldiers, the Daring Mecha in Judith’s view was an insult to the biological armor.

The biological armor enhanced the combat capabilities of the driver, while this Daring Mecha reduced them. It was so stiff and slow in movement that even the speed of an average person was faster, with a failure rate so high it was almost unbearable to watch.

“Director Judith, we’ve done our best, but mecha research is exceptionally difficult. We’ve just started and there’s still a long way to go to reach the level of Jieke Group,” Kegelo said, fearful of losing the support of the Beautiful Country’s government. A company like Boston Dynamics, lacking commercial value, found it very difficult to identify a real point of profit.

Judith, without a word, just pointed to the other large Diamond Mecha. This mecha had been brought in on a heavy flatbed truck and said, “Stop making excuses and continue with the test. I want to see what else you’ve managed to come up with.”

“This… this Diamond Mecha, we’ve just finished developing it and it hasn’t undergone any testing yet,” said Kegelo.

“Then today will be its first test,” Judith said, cutting off Kegelo’s stalling outright.

“Someone, go pilot the Diamond Battle Armor,” she ordered.

Kegelo, gritting his teeth, could only muster up the courage, hoping that nothing would go wrong with this Diamond Mecha.

“Hold on, Judith, let’s move back a bit. Let’s not lose our lives here,” General MacKen said bluntly, showing his distrust for Boston Dynamics and already taking the lead in moving away quickly.

Kegelo stood rooted to the spot in embarrassment.
