Counterfeit Hero

Fatty’s voice gradually faded in the spacious hall. All around, the noise of chatter suddenly rose.

Whether they were generals from various countries or scientists from the international research team, everyone was whispering and discussing.

The troublemaking Fatty nonchalantly glanced at the corner of the hall. There, Milan stood behind a slightly frowning Boswell, holding the hand of a little kid with an innocent face, secretly making a funny face at him, both joyful and proud.

As clever as Milan was, how could she not know that Fatty was seizing the opportunity to vent the grievances he and Boswell suffered in the joint research team? Due to the bandit army being prioritized with the Thunderbolt, there were all sorts of voices in this team. Especially those Feiyang scientists standing next to Barbara, speaking sarcastically in indirect accusations. It was as if she and her teacher had stolen something from them.

Milan looked affectionately at Fatty, knowing that the unreasonable and fiercely protective Fatty would never allow himself to be wronged. Anyone who provoked her and her teacher would find him capable of doing the most outrageous things.

Probably, those Feiyang people could never imagine that in terms of mechanical expertise, Fatty had long surpassed everyone present.

It wasn’t acquired behind closed doors in a laboratory, but through countless life-and-death escapes and numerous battles. Moreover, in his hands, he held the technology from Mars Technology and Casper’s Work Journal, already far ahead in close combat capabilities.

"Gentlemen, the Mechanical Trial Meeting is beginning, please enter." Perhaps not wanting an overly tense atmosphere, Admiral Chuckna suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly.

Feng Zhi’s words aptly stopped several Feiyang scientists who were already itching to speak, their questions almost rising to their throats.

The Feiyang scientists cast iron-faced looks at Barbara, their furious expressions suggesting that if Barbara nodded, they would rush forward and tear Fatty apart.

This was their territory, their grand event.

Everyone knew that the emergence of Binart’s Twelfth Generation Mecha meant a lot for this war. Also, the successful development of the Twelfth Generation Thunderbolt was almost the highest achievement in these scientists’ lives.

This Mechanical Trial Meeting, rather than a trial, was more of a showcase.

They were eager to use this trial to shock the entire Fei Alliance science community and to let the generals from various countries understand what kind of power they possessed!

Although the development of the Mecha couldn’t have been done without the contributions of scientists from other countries, the core systems of the Mecha, after all, originated from them. They had only succeeded under their leadership. Their knowledge and the vast technological accumulation of the enterprises behind them made them all proud and arrogant.

Who would have thought, just as they were full of themselves, a Leray Lieutenant General walked in, and in front of their proudest creation, started to heavily criticize it.

Engine Power System, Transmission System, and Control System, wasn’t this specifically targeting their area for criticism?

If it were a debate on other topics, they might still show caution with this lieutenant, but in their most familiar domain, any challenge that questioned their authority would be met with their merciless rebuttal.

As long as Barbara nodded, they would make this Fatty understand that the field of science was not something a simple-minded military man like him could dominate. They would use their knowledge to humiliate this Fatty until he couldn’t lift his head!

Barbara smiled and glanced at Feng Zhi, subtly shaking her head. The show was just getting started, and she didn’t want to clash with the host at this moment. There would be plenty of opportunities at the upcoming Mecha Trial Meeting.

"General Tian, I hope there will be a chance to learn from the general’s knowledge in a while!" Unable to contain their anger, a few Feiyang scientists snorted coldly, leaving this remark before turning away.

The agitated Feiyang scientists strode toward the trial hall, as Fatty and Barbara exchanged a knowing look and started moving as well, causing other attendees to exchange glances, their hearts skipping a beat.

Everyone understood that the upcoming Mecha Trial Meeting might be quite lively.

——————————

The group followed the passage and entered the spacious trial hall.

The trial hall was hexagonally shaped, made entirely of metal. The pervasive hexagonal inlays on the walls and floor made the hall resemble a giant silver-white beehive.

Dozens of staff had already been waiting at the data center below the hall.

Over a hundred generals from various countries and hundreds of scientists walked along the transparent circular passageway to the circular observation room directly above the trial hall.

The observation room was large, with the central data display screen already turned on. The swirling light orbs transformed into sets of data as the White Mecha in the center of the lower trial hall was activated.

It was clear that for this showcase, the international research team had meticulously prepared.

As soon as they saw the White Mecha standing silently in the center of the trial hall, the slow-moving crowd immediately quickened their pace.

One by one, the mature and steady generals disregarded their demeanor, pressing against the observation room glass, staring intently at the Mecha, occasionally letting out a few sounds of amazement.

For the first time, they were witnessing this top-tier land force of the Fei Alliance in person.

Not a video, not a photograph....... This beautiful Mecha stood in front of them, like a bolt of lightning frozen in mid-air. It was both elegant and aggressive. If only they could have an Armored Division composed of such Mecha......
