Chapter 525 - 525 Becoming a Laughing Stock
525 Becoming a Laughing Stock
After entering the sea, Kaiyuan’s movements became even slower.
The scene made Carter’s lips tremble.
He had a bad feeling.
Eventually, the sea monster spotted Kaiyuan and let out a deafening roar as it rushed over.
A group of military leaders smiled confidently on the high stands by the coast.
They were not part of the research team, so they did not know how powerful Kaiyuan was.
In fact, only the old man with the white beard, Carter, knew about it.
Even his assistants had no idea what kind of power this mech could unleash. Ever since the mech was completed, it had not been tested in actual combat.
Tests on Kaiyuan’s various standard movements had also been conducted in secret at the research base, so only Carter knew about them.
At this moment, two huge figures collided fiercely before them!
The sea monster was nearly 300 meters tall, while Kaiyuan was only about 120 meters tall. It was half as tall as the monster.
Nevertheless, Kaiyuan looked very solid, like a round, muscular man who was delivering a forward punch.
“Look! Kaiyuan is making a move!”
“Heavens, Kaiyuan’s fist is terrifying! I reckon that its punch would be able to knock the sea monster down, right?”
“Hahaha, Kaiyuan is amazing! As expected of our country’s first mech. It looks much more powerful than those Chinese mechs!”
Right then, all the netizens in the country were watching the live broadcast. They started discussions when they saw the exciting scene.
At the same time, in China’s command center, Wu Mo and a few officers were staring at the screen. The entire command center was silent.
How powerful was Kaiyuan?
It would soon be revealed!
Bang!
There was a crisp sound as if something had suddenly broken.
On the screen, the sea monster did not seem as fast as Kaiyuan. Before long, the mech delivered a heavy punch to the sea monster’s belly.
“Haha, we’re winning!”
However, in the next moment, everyone’s eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost.
Kaiyuan’s huge mechanical arm fell off its body with dazzling sparks and dropped into the turbulent sea like a meteor.
With a plop, it set off a magnificent wave that was more than ten meters high. The people were dumbfounded.
Kaiyuan was like a warrior who had lost his arm. He was standing upright on the battlefield but allowing the wind and rain to hit him.
“This… What’s going on?”
At this moment, there was chaos. People’s minds went blank, and the atmosphere at the debut event was suffocating.
However, after a short period of silence, the scene blew up like an explosive barrel that had been detonated!
The country’s Internet was also facing an unprecedented predicament. Comments poured in like a storm on live streams, and the netizens were extremely excited. As a result, the signal in the live streams were interrupted.
Right then, the Chinese netizens burst into laughter. They could not suppress the joy in their hearts.
“Haha, what’s going on? Is their mech made of paper?”
“I can see it now. The company’s smelting technology isn’t up to par at all, so Kaiyuan is just a decoration.”
Wu Mo and the other officers in the command center could not help but laugh.
Kaiyuan’s performance was indeed ridiculous.
The sea monster seemed stunned by this sudden change and did not react for a moment
However, it quickly regained its composure. It waved its fists angrily and smashed them at Kaiyuan.
“D*mn it! Hurry up and dodge!”
The operators in the remote command center were so anxious that their faces turned pale as they frantically issued orders.
Unfortunately, Kaiyuan had seemingly lost control. It stood still and allowed the huge waves of fate to swallow it.
Bang!
The sea monster’s fist hit Kaiyuan’s shoulder, and the huge force made it sink like broken glass.
The sea monster followed up with a tail whip and sent Kaiyuan’s huge “brain” flying far away.
This was too tragic!
Everyone near the scene covered their eyes and retreated unwittingly. They felt deep sorrow.
It was truly heartbreaking, and they could not look at what was happening!
Kaiyuan was widely known as their country’s first mech, and it once held the people’s endless hopes and dreams. Now, it was being wantonly humiliated by sea monsters.
The most heartbreaking thing was how the whole event was unfolding before everyone. Mainstream media from the whole were broadcasting it live, and viewers everywhere witnessed the tragedy.
Such a degree of humiliation was historic!
The old man with the white beard, Carter, suddenly covered his stomach and pretended to have a stomachache. He fled the scene, and it was truly embarrassing.
The officers there were also ashen and speechless. They knew that things had blown up in their face and they could not explain it to their superiors.
At this moment, they were anxiously looking for a scapegoat. In the end, they pointed the finger at the chief designer, Carter. After all, he designed Kaiyuan!
However, the brutal slaughter was not over yet.
The sea monster had yet to vent its anger. It waved its heavy fists in a frenzy and hit Kaiyuan repeatedly.
Bang bang bang!
The pitiful mech could not withstand the powerful force. Electricity flickered all over its body, and cracks instantly appeared on its shell. Then, its entire body completely shattered.
Boom…
Kaiyuan exploded instantly. The shattered remains of the mech scattered in the sky before it turned into a pile of ruins in the sea.
“Hahaha! They’ve become a laughing stock. They had the audacity to name it Kaiyuan, only for it to be humiliated by the sea monster. How shameful!”
At this point, the Chinese citizens and netizens from all over the world started to mock them.
It was not easy to make a mech. It did not matter if they had a model.
They were unable to fight the sea monsters!
Then, the global network signal was suddenly cut off, and someone immediately tried to clear the scene.
They reigned in the mainstream media outlets and banned them from continuing their report on the incident.
Just like that, the hilarious farce quickly ended.
The entire world was now well aware that only China had the ability to create mechs that could contend with sea monsters.
The crowd finally understood how difficult it had been for China’s mechs.
“Wu Mo, after seeing how fragile their mech is, I truly realize how powerful Battle God and Zero are!” A dignified officer patted Wu Mo’s shoulder and said with a smile.
“They’re not just powerful, they’re currently the most powerful in existence! The integration of human and machine has made them invincible!” Another valiant officer could not help but laugh.
Wu Mo nodded and did not say much. At this moment, he was worried about the mech’s production process.
Once the second mech was released, Wu Mo would select the most outstanding student from the mech training school and place him under piloting simulation training.
That way, Wu Mo would be able to bring faith to China’s people.
Everyone could become a hero, and everyone had the chance to save the world!
