Le Da Yuan laughed heartily, stood up, and took out a key from his space ring.
It resembled both gold and silver, radiating a beautiful matte finish.
There was even a heart-shaped crystal dangling from it, soft pink in color.
Le Da Yuan originally wanted to say something, but upon seeing the key pendant, his expression froze, and he awkwardly twisted his mouth, quickly taking it off while muttering, “Old Liu, what kind of thing is this?”
The others laughed kindly, especially Little Tiger and Candy, who usually had a good relationship with Le Da Yuan, and even teased him.
“Cough, cough, you two quiet down.”
Le Da Yuan's face turned serious as he pretended to scold Little Tiger, but it was clearly ineffective. Instead, Xia Lei shot a glare at the mischievous boy, making him quiet down like a mouse seeing a cat.
There was no way around it; besides his inherent fear of Xia Lei, there was also a sense of guilt about some issues raised earlier, such as the “mountain peak” question. Little Tiger knew he had a share in that, and although it wasn't entirely his intention, recent events were closely related to his indulgence.
“Do you all remember the battle robot I built?”
Everyone nodded, including Ye Zhongming.
The formidable and imposing mechanical warrior had left everyone in shock. Its various combat methods, dual energy drives, and unique control techniques had opened a new door, showcasing another world.
Of course, the resources consumed by such battle robots were equally impressive; they were essentially money-eating machines.
Le Da Yuan had said at the time that this technology was still under development, and until certain issues were resolved, it couldn't achieve good combat capability.
“Have these issues been resolved?” Ye Zhongming's eyes brightened.
That robot had also deeply shocked him; one could say that Sister Hong's ability to grant him the capability to manufacture space equipment and the emergence of this robot gave Ye Zhongming immense confidence.
It made him realize he could remain ahead in the country and even the whole world.
Now, hearing Le Da Yuan mention this secret weapon, how could the King of Cloud Summit not be excited?
Le Da Yuan smiled again. Although he didn't provide an immediate answer, everyone was almost certain.
“To be honest, I failed with the previous model.”
Apart from Xia Lei, who already knew, Ye Zhongming and the others were all momentarily stunned. Failed?
“Despite all the efforts Old Liu and I made, we couldn't find the perfect solution.” Le Da Yuan's tone carried an obvious regret.
“If we want to conserve energy and allow the battle robot to handle a complete fight, then issues arise with control. However, if we perfect the control of the battle robot, the duration of energy support drastically shortens. Moreover, some materials, even after being treated by Zhong Ming, cannot support prolonged, high-intensity combat and are prone to damage.”
Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan teaming up could be considered the top figures in the technology field on this planet, yet even they had things they couldn't achieve.
“Later, I changed my approach and stopped pursuing a perfect machine that contained all the advantages. Instead, I split them into two types: close combat and long-range.”
With that, Le Da Yuan picked up the key, signaling everyone to follow him. He led the group to an open area behind Ye Zhongming's villa, which was used for practicing skills.
After pressing the strange key, two beams of light immediately shot out, landing at two positions in front of them.
Two battle robots appeared before everyone, one tall and one short.
At first glance, the two had similarities but were also strikingly different.
They shared the same material and design style, indicating they were of the same kind of machine. However, one was tall and the other short, with notable differences in their attack features.
“The shorter one is the long-range battle robot, powered by magic crystal energy.”
