"It's a bit cold."
Jiang Cheng rubbed his hands together, then cupped them together and blew a breath of hot air into them.
Early morning is the coldest time of day. He got up very early and didn't feel sleepy at all. Even though he had only slept for a few hours, he felt quite excited.
I stepped on the newly revived grass, a thin layer covered with dew.
The air was quite humid; if you waved your hand, you could feel water molecules sticking to it. Looking into the distance, things were blurry, a white expanse filled with a thin mist.
Even though it wasn't quite dawn yet, the lights illuminated the entire area, including Jiang Cheng himself. A long equipment bridge stretched overhead, and many workers were installing things, the clanging of metal against metal filling the air.
This colossal object, nearly 300 meters tall, stands between heaven and earth. Looking up, it seems to merge with the horizon, its head held high in arrogance, its body radiating a technological beauty. It is an exquisite creation crafted by the hand of nature.
It is entirely silver-white, and the front part that comes into contact with the light reflects a dazzling light. There is a huge groove on its chest, and the shell armor has not yet been installed. You can see the intricate wiring and dense mechanical facilities inside.
This is the most expensive thing to build on the entire planet—the Snow Woman.
Within a radius of several miles, the most knowledgeable researchers, the most capable engineers, and the highest-ranking federal leaders gathered.
They brought alloy materials from all over the world, stored China's unique brain-like technology and pure energy in their warehouse, and grasped the mechanical technology sent day and night by the great power, all to create a perfect body for the Snow Maiden.
The Snow Woman's wings, which grew on her back, covered a considerable area of the sky. She raised them without any concealment, as if she was about to flap them and fly straight into the sky, gliding gracefully like countless soaring pigeons.
Its body is slender and thin, but the steely aura emanating from its hard exterior makes countless people who look at it feel a chill in their hearts.
The engineers have devoted themselves to the project, working tirelessly day and night, and have completed the construction of the battle maiden's body. The basic skeletal structure and joint connections are in place, and all that remains is to fill in the "soul".
A specific plan can only be formulated after Jiang Cheng issues the order.
There's no rush. Jiang Cheng will add the energy device and the brain-like system last. Only then will the War Maiden truly come to life, transforming from an inanimate object into a moving torrent of steel.
He calmly directed the engineers to refine the details, including track extension and motion capture technologies. The system is not yet fully installed. Jiang Cheng has put a lot of effort into researching with many scientists, all in an effort to give the War Maiden a pair of bright eyes.
It can accurately help operators capture any useful intelligence within their field of vision.
This will greatly ensure the survival of operators on the battlefield in the future.
One thing every human being should do is "cherish life," whether it's their own or someone else's; life is a very precious thing. From birth to death, experiencing a short life is the only way to truly honor that breathtaking moment when carbon-based life awakened to consciousness in ancient times. We possess near-perfect bodies, intricate organ structures, and every cell works in concert to ensure we live better.
In other words, no one alive in this world is useless; they are all born of greatness.
Jiangcheng didn't want the operators to suffer undeserved disaster because of its negligence. It hoped that the mechs would become a protective barrier, allowing humans to have a shell to protect themselves, just like insects.
When the raging storm blows relentlessly, when the endless sandstorm lashes down, the hero in the cockpit can charge forward fearlessly, abandoning all distractions.
The mechs stood in front of the heroes.
But heroes must always stand in front of the people.
Busy and bustling, several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Cheng appeared on the sky ladder high in the sky, surrounded by the sounds of machinery, hammering, chiseling, and clanging.
He has to shout to speak, otherwise the people around him can't hear him.
Gu Qingwan received the message and quietly walked over, whispering in Jiang Cheng's ear, "Boss, it's time to go downstairs. The students selected from all over the world have arrived."
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Cheng patted the engineer next to him on the shoulder, then turned and got off the escalator.
In the distance, on a makeshift helipad, stood countless young people, their faces beaming with joy.
Just one glance is enough to feel the breath of youth.
Their faces were still quite young, and their figures were all very graceful. They stared with eyes of different colors, curiously looking around. Some of them didn't even have stubble yet, and others were wearing cute plush clothes in the shape of bears. It was hard to tell whether they were college students or toddlers.
A cool breeze blew from the horizon, rustling across the sparsely green grass.
At this moment, the students finally saw what it was. They looked up, their faces filled with shock.
Although they spoke different languages, they expressed only one emotion.
Ke Bing looked up in a daze. Before her was a circular sky bridge, hundreds of meters high, like a halo around a planet, and at the very center, the focus of everyone's attention.
Nothing has been leaked so far.
Valkyrie!
It alone symbolizes a castle in the air, a giant that can truly reach out and touch the faint white mist in the sky, its proud head held high, seemingly never looking down.
Its silver exterior reflects a dazzling light, with smooth muscle lines, a perfect body structure, and feet deeply embedded in the earth's surface.
To date, these thousands of students have only just come to realize just how magnificent and spectacular the things they will be manipulating in the future truly are.
Is this what Jiang Cheng is researching?
For a moment, Luo Xiaoli was also taken aback.
She had worked at a biotechnology institute and knew her boyfriend had to handle a lot of documents every day; his busyness seemed endless. Knowing he was on the front lines, constantly fighting against intruders, she also felt worried.
But when her eyes actually landed on this magnificent body, she was stunned by a dreamlike feeling. The mecha that she had only ever imagined and seen in science fiction movies was now right in front of her.
Everything about it, everything exquisite, was given to it by Jiangcheng.
An indescribable shock surged up, leaving her mind blank.
She then realized that what Jiang Cheng had said on the phone was, "You don't understand any of this."
What does it mean exactly?
What kind of monster would require humanity to exert all its efforts, even going so far as to create something ten times taller than the Titanosaur, a colossal creature that existed on Earth centuries ago?
If selected, they will pilot such mechs and smash the bones of invaders with their fists.
"All students, assemble according to the serial numbers issued earlier. Do not move around. I will now lead you to the feet of the War Maiden! Vice Commander Jiang is waiting for you there!"
A familiar voice came from the loudspeaker.
