The apocalypse arrived overnight, zombies rampaged, creatures mutated, and the world became increasingly strange.
Giant pythons over a hundred meters long, giant crocodiles tens of meters lon...
However, Jiang Wu heard Wang Tiefeng's words and felt completely different!
His eyes were fixed on the crude robot, growing brighter and brighter, as if lightning flashed through his mind!
Energy issues?!
This is not a problem at all for the rejuvenation of China!
Ye Qingyu had long ago been able to create a device that could utilize the enormous energy of the crystal core!
If dozens of level 2 or even level 3 crystal cores are combined together, the energy contained within is enough to support this level of robot to operate at high intensity for a very long time!
Moreover, the crystal core can regenerate its own energy, which is practically... the prototype of a perpetual motion machine!
A materials issue?!
The one thing China has no shortage of during its revival is materials for high-level mutated beasts!
The bones of level four and five mutated beasts are far stronger than steel, yet lighter in weight!
And their leather has amazing defensive capabilities!
If we were to use those bones, shaped to the desired form, to replace the robot's parts, and use those tough skins to cover the surface as armor...
What a terrifying war machine that would be!
He even picked up those level-four giant weapons that could be exchanged in the system, such as the level-four sloth claw blade that was over seventeen meters long.
Humans cannot use this weapon at all, but if we can make a larger robot, wouldn't we be able to use that weapon?
What if it were installed on a giant robotic arm that's over ten meters tall?!
With one strike, it could probably really cleave a level-three mutated beast in two!
Its destructive power over a wide area far exceeds that of the Level 5 Sky-Splitting Beast Claw Blade in his hand, which, although sharp, has a limited length!
After all, although the Level 5 Sky-Splitting Beast Claw Blade is extremely sharp, it is only a little over two meters long.
Compared to those colossal beasts that easily exceed 100 meters in size, it's like a dagger.
This Chen madman, he's not mad at all!
This is clearly a hidden genius!
A national treasure that was on the right path but was held back by real-world conditions!
The key technologies that the Dragon Base lacks are precisely those that China's rejuvenation already possesses or is about to possess!
And Chen Fengzi's dream and design can perfectly make use of the advantageous resources of China's revival!
We must bring him back to China to revitalize the nation! At all costs!
Jiang Wu's mind was instantly filled with this burning thought.
He looked at the disheveled man with an intense gaze.
“Colonel Wang,” Jiang Wu’s voice was slightly hoarse with excitement, but he tried to remain calm, “this Engineer Chen… is quite interesting. May I speak with him?”
Wang Tiefeng was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Wu to be interested in this "madman," but he still nodded: "Of course, but... Mr. Bai, you'd better be prepared. He has a rather strange temper, and he talks about his robot all the time. Also, he's been acting a bit crazy ever since his daughter went missing..."
Jiang Wu smiled knowingly: "It's okay, I just enjoy talking to people who have dreams and skills."
As he spoke, he strode toward Engineer Chen, who was cursing and swearing.
The two walked to the feet of the giant robot.
Chen the Madman was cursing and swearing at the open engine compartment, gesturing wildly with a wrench in his hand, seemingly oblivious to the two people approaching.
"Engineer Chen?" Wang Tiefeng called out, raising his voice.
Chen Fengzi then turned around abruptly, revealing a pair of bloodshot but unusually focused eyes behind thick glasses.
He eyed Wang Tiefeng and the unfamiliar Jiang Wu warily, his tone impatient: "Colonel Wang? What's up? If not, don't bother me while I'm fixing things!"
His attention was clearly still on the batteries.
Jiang Wu didn't pay attention to his attitude. Instead of commenting on the technical details as before, he looked up at the steel giant with a gaze of pure awe.
Then, he exclaimed in genuine amazement, "Engineer Chen, this... you made all of this by yourself? It looks incredibly impressive! How much effort must have gone into it!"
These simple words struck the softest spot in Chen Fengzi's heart.
His impatience vanished instantly, and he looked at Jiang Wu with some surprise, as if he rarely heard anyone express such pure amazement instead of sarcasm: "You...you also think it's amazing?"
His tone carried a hesitation born of long-term rejection, but more so an expectation of finding someone who would agree with him.
"It's more than amazing!" Jiang Wu's expression was very sincere. He pointed to the robot's huge body, "In my opinion, being able to assemble so many parts together, just to make it stand up and walk, is already a miracle!"
Jiang Wu's words contained not a single technical term, yet he perfectly portrayed the role of a "technical novice" who was completely captivated by the "industrial miracle."
Chen Fengzi's eyes instantly welled up with tears!
It's like a child who has suffered a great injustice has finally found a kindred spirit!
He abruptly threw down the wrench and excitedly grabbed Jiang Wu's arm: "You...you really think so?! Good heavens! Finally, someone understands! They all don't understand! They only know about practicality, practicality! The future! We have to look to the future!!"
He grabbed Jiang Wu and began to recount, with spittle flying, the scorn he had suffered, his grand plans, and his imagined scene of a robot army sweeping away the mutated beasts...
Jiang Wu listened patiently.
Every now and then, he would exclaim something like, "I see," "That's brilliant," or "That's an amazing idea."
He wasn't being pretentious; he was genuinely sincere.
As a man, who doesn't like huge robots?
And these are all superficial aspects of Jiang Wu's character.
