Chapter 322: Be prepared for your hard work to turn into scrap metal

The tea trickled down the spout of the pot into the cup. Cheng Zhen, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown after hearing the whole conversation.

According to my junior fellow apprentice, the destructive power of a Class A mecha can destroy a city. If we face three mechas, I'm afraid my uncle will get serious about it. By then, whether the mechas are destroyed or my uncle is injured, it won't be a good thing.

Just when he was worried, Jiang Mo asked the two, "Are they ready?"

".The mecha still has some finishing touches left. As long as you agree, we will immediately arrange a test plan for you. It is expected that it will be ready for official confrontation in three to five days."

Yu Huai reported the truth.

"."

Jiang Mo was actually interested. Three Class A mechas really looked up to him. Were they testing their weapons, or were they indirectly trying to hit him? Or were they analyzing his level of danger by testing the performance of their weapons?

He knew the character of Yuhuai and Xianshu, and they would not target him like this. They discussed with him out of respect, and they sincerely hoped to find an equal opponent for him.

Then the answer lies with the so-called head of the mecha department.

"It's not very expensive, is it?"

"Well, just the subsequent charging alone would require the power supply of several provinces for nearly half a year, not to mention other maintenance and testing costs."

Due to the confidentiality agreement, Yu Huai could only describe the situation roughly using his own words.

Jiang Mo did not blame him, but felt a little excited. It happened that he had just reached a high level in martial arts and had nothing to try his hand at, and then the mecha was delivered to his door. How could he refuse it?
"Tell your friend for me that no matter what his purpose is, he should be prepared to have all his hard work turned into scrap metal in one day."

"If you can't accept the possibility of an accident, then forget about it."

"The test is no joke. I will not hold back. Just like those alien creatures you are preparing for every day, they are subject to racial culture and power differences. Once a conflict occurs, it will be a fight to the death. They will not give you a chance to talk."

"I do not know either."

Even though Jiang Mo's tone was flat, Yu Huai could still hear a sense of oppression as if a mountain was looming over his shoulders, and the worry in her heart was reduced a little.

"Yes, I will follow your instructions and ask for his opinion later."

"Is there anything else?"

"No, they will arrange the test site, which will take a few days. I will go there first, and you can just teleport here."

"it is good."

After a brief conversation, an agreement was reached. Cheng Zhen hung up the communicator and subconsciously asked:
"Uncle Master, how sure are you? Do you think we need to tell everyone in the sect about this?"

"Before I see their metal monster, I can't judge. The so-called next-generation weapons are worth looking forward to. When the time comes, you can go with me and experience the charm of top technology together."

Jiang Mo was very interested in the upcoming test battle.

"Okay, I am willing to go with you. Please make all the necessary preparations in the next few days, uncle."

Cheng Zhen was still somewhat worried. He knew his uncle's ability, but he did not underestimate the threat of the mecha. You know, it was a strategic weapon of the same level as nuclear weapons, and the danger might be far greater than the battle of North Kolai.

"Ah."

Jiang Mo said he would not let down his guard, and then asked:
"Has Zhuge come out of retreat? If he has come out in the next few days, we can take him with us. It may help him in his research on weapon refining."

"My junior brother has not yet come out of retreat, but I think the time is almost up. I will go back and take a look."

In the next few days, while Jiang Mo was preparing for the battle, he also took the time to read the Lu family's Ruyi Jin technique. The content and force-generating techniques in it were similar to the various martial arts classics he had come across before.

Perhaps they came from the same origin hundreds or thousands of years ago. Jiang Mo was not surprised by this.

In just one afternoon, Jiang Mo finished reading the ancient book on Ruyi Jin and gained a little, but it was not a big gain.

After all, even if he didn't have Ruyi Jin, some of the moves that integrated Qi into fist strength could be done with his existing martial arts skills that integrated many boxing techniques.

At night, a meeting on the preparations for the mecha test was held.

Those present included five top leaders from different departments. Among them, Lin Qi, who was in charge of exploring ancient ruins, was absent. His vote was tacitly abstained.

In the last century, there were only six special departments initially set up in the country to investigate supernatural events and maintain order in the country. These are the departments behind the leaders present here today.

As time went by, the workload became more and more demanding and staff was in short supply. In order to ease the workload pressure of the old six departments, the new four departments of Nadutong Company came into being.

The ten departments are nominally equal in status, but the resources they have and the work they are responsible for are very different;

The Sixth Department is at the forefront, and the dangers they encounter cannot be measured by common sense, and are beyond the ability of the Four Departments to handle. The main responsibility of the latter is to solve trivial matters that the former has no time to deal with, to ensure their work is smooth, and to provide the greatest stability guarantee in the rear.

That night, five responsible persons were present and had the highest decision-making power within the ten departments. The other four department heads did not need to participate, and the matter of the mecha test was not revealed to them.

An old man with gray hair, a stern face and eyes like cold iron, sat in the middle of the conference table. He was the top person in charge of the mecha research and development department.

He looked around the room silently, and when he saw that all the councillors were present, he played the entire conversation that Bai Tianyu had heard without any delay in the form of a recording. A cold voice rang out in the conference room. It was Jiang Mo's voice, and he spoke very straightforwardly. It was not difficult for everyone to guess that he had the ability to destroy mechas, and they were a little hesitant for a while.

The testing of mechas is important, but if they are turned into scrap metal, that level of loss will be enough to make the six departments feel painful for a long time. According to detailed statistics, the funds invested in the creation process of any Class A mecha are an astronomical figure, which is equivalent to the expenditure of the six departments as a whole for several years.

"Everyone, please speak freely."

Yu Huai broke the silence and was the first to express his opinion:

"In this matter, Xianshu and I are both from the sect, so we will avoid suspicion and give up the vote. You guys will make the decision."

After saying this, the old man sitting on the far left looked doubtful and said:

"Yu Huai, is there no room for negotiation on this matter? Can you talk to the seniors in your sect again?"

"You know, it takes six or seven years to refine an A-class mecha. We only have five now. If one of your disciples really breaks one, we old stingy guys will be heartbroken."

Yu Huai looked at his colleague sincerely, said nothing, and just shook his head slightly.

He has been in the sect for more than 30 years and has a good understanding of Jiang Mo's character. The old man asked them to be prepared, which meant there was no room for negotiation.

The old man's expression darkened. It would be difficult for him to muster the courage to sacrifice three Class A mechas in a short period of time.

Xianshu added to this with a serious tone: "Currently, the extraordinary creatures marked as A-level in the territory include the uncle in the sect and a few troublemakers. They are not human. Aren't these mechas we developed to guard against them?"

"Master is on the same level as them, and he is still on our side. I am absolutely sure of this;"

"If he is not willing to fight with all his strength, how can we see the gap between the mecha and those extraordinary creatures? Excuse me, sometimes, some sacrifices cannot be avoided."

Hearing what he said, an old man in a suit and reading glasses murmured:

".You have a point. Since we can be sure that he is on our side, the value we can get in return is much more important than three Class A mechas. Isn't he an effective means for us to contain other Class A extraordinary creatures?"

"I think this is something we can try. As long as the actual combat data of the mecha is collected, many fatal problems can be exposed, which will facilitate subsequent improvements. It is a good thing;"

"You know, there's a huge gap between theory and practice. I don't think it's realistic to expect those mechas to solve all the problems and resolve those extraordinary risks."

Then, the person in charge of mecha research and development also expressed his opinion:
"Since the senior from the Trinity Sect has the guts to take on the challenge, we must respect his wishes. It would be too petty to be so cautious and stingy."

"Although the mechas are hard-earned and embody the hard work of many of our scientific researchers, and I am very reluctant to part with them, for the sake of new technological breakthroughs and the practical repair of the mechas, I also agree with this vote."

The situation was settled, the two responsible persons clearly felt that it was feasible, and the plan was finalized.

Afterwards, they entered the next stage to discuss the related work of this experiment and the transportation route of the mecha.

In the evening of March 3, Cheng Zhen received a notice from Yu Huai.

After careful consideration by the R&D department and heads of several other departments, they accepted any outcome of this test and stated in advance that the three Class A mechas would be running at full power, and Jiang Mo must also give it his all.

"it is good"

"I will inform my uncle."

The test is scheduled for March 3, the venue is a desert somewhere in the country, and the mecha is already being transported secretly.

That night, Zhuge Yu came out of seclusion, and Cheng Zhen took him to meet his uncle and convey the message.

"Follow me the day after tomorrow."

"Yes."

The two of them answered in unison, stayed for a moment, and then left in a hurry, not wanting to disturb their uncle from adjusting his state.

Jiang Mo sat quietly in front of a pond in the back hill, practicing breathing exercises. Endless moonlight was drawn down from the sky, seeping into his skin and disappearing in an instant.

The sun and the moon rise in the east and set in the west, the stars and the moon disappear, the sun hangs high in the sky, and billions of rays of light converge from all directions. The entire Trinity Gate, including the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers, is cloudy with a cool breeze.

Two nights and one day passed in the blink of an eye.

March 3, 7 a.m.

The morning sun shines on all things, purple air comes from the east, and wisps of golden light shine through the clouds.

Jiang Mo, who was practicing in the back mountain, had already reached the peak state. His eyes quietly awakened, his expression was exceptionally calm, he slowly stood up, and walked towards the rays of light.

Zhuge Yu and Cheng Zhen are waiting ahead.

The battle between humans and mechas, supernatural powers and technology is about to begin.
