Then he saw a massive camouflaged shadow, as usual, almost flying out, and upon reaching the high wall to be scaled, it pushed off powerfully, tightening its legs, and vanished over the wall like a rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the elite soldiers: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaders watching the performance: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior officer, who had nonchalantly pointed things out while watching the \"Warrior\" walk to the starting position like a human, could no longer find his smile now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Quan was last year’s 400-meter hurdle champion of the entire military. However by the time he was only halfway to the first hurdle, the \"Warrior\" had already flown past it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flown past it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 300-kg steel body moved with incredible agility, instantly capturing everyone’s attention. The \"Warrior\" crossed each barrier with perfect timing, finding the optimal solution for the next step upon landing, without a single superfluous move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd could barely see the specific movements of the \"Warrior\" passing each obstacle. By the time the \"Warrior\" skimmed over the finish line, Li Quan, drenched in sweat, was less than half the distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander glanced at his stopwatch; 42 seconds. The historical record for the 400-meter hurdle was 1 minute 23 seconds. The \"Warrior\" was twice as fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That 41-second gap represented a distance insurmountable by mankind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the starter yelled out the first place winner of this test, there was a moment of silence before applause began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Quan ran it in 1 minute 26 seconds—a quite impressive result and his personal best, but no one paid it any mind at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior officials in the front row stood and applauded, calling for the next event to start promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they witnessed a sight that blew their minds—the true killing machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the 50-meter pistol shooting range, the \"Warrior\" grabbed the gun and fired before even stabilizing its stance. Its photoelectric system didn’t need to adjust its position to aim, and the limit of its firing rate was the speed at which the trigger could be pulled. Ten shots, one hundred rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the 150-meter moving target, ten shots, one hundred rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the 200-meter free rapid fire at 40 targets using semi-automatic mode, the \"Warrior\" took his time to aim at each of the 40 targets. It fired 40 bullets in 23 seconds, hitting 38 bullseyes and 2 nines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of the \"Warrior’s\" mechanical body worth hundreds of millions and its precise harmonic reducer, human muscle control seemed negligible. Nearly every performance was a one-man show by the \"Warrior\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final anti-terrorism exercise, 19 \"counter-terrorism elites\" faced off against 1 robot terrorist. The result was the \"sacrifice\" of all 19, with the exercise building’s walls damaged in 11 places and 4 large holes created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Warrior\" had not only infrared, thermal imaging, low-light night vision, radar, and other types of photoelectric detectors but also advanced equipment to detect heartbeats. Any living being within 50 meters couldn’t escape detection. In such a confined space, it was sheer slaughter, effortlessly defeating the military’s finest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the commander hadn’t witnessed the base engineers replacing the \"Warrior’s\" high-energy batteries distributed across its body four times throughout the day, he might have thought he was dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the performance events were completed, there was a special event for the \"Warrior\": the damage resistance test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn’t about taking bullets with its steel body. Instead, they put the \"Warrior\" in a suit combined with an explosive-proof vest and bulletproof plates, weighing over 70 kg, something humans could not possibly wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such defensive gear could directly withstand all light weapons below 12.7 mm and grenade attacks, virtually not affecting the \"Warrior’s\" freedom of movement, except for shortening its endurance by 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the commander circled the \"Warrior,\" which had its batteries changed for the fifth time and was covered in mud and lingering smoke, several times. He also issued simple commands like \"simulate an attack on point B\" and \"assemble and disassemble firearms,\" all of which were perfectly executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Warrior\" also had a standard voice pack, enabling direct voice interaction, which surprised everyone even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander: \"I cannot begin to imagine the heavy blow such a war machine would deliver on the battlefield. A hundred of these robots could match the combat power of a battalion, and even thirty or fifty billion would be worth it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he turned to look at the New Yuan engineer and said what the latter had been longing to hear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind the price, as soon as you solve the endurance issue, we guarantee an order of at least 5... 20 units, no bargaining!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And one more thing, our own Institute 54 is also working on this, can they join in as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1369,"2026-06-05T18:20:54.444Z",1,"novelbin.me","762ab89b8a3975d0bebb8c09c2d014fe17de0950cee13ec5e37b5d92d47c3859","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-350","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-348",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
