Hao Ren and the rest of the people were on time, the higher ups knew how important this deal was for them. Markus Bourne was walking around with an anxious expression on his face. Although Hao Ren was calm, as Xiao Mei has already finished checking everything inside the programming chip.
Klaus and his team has confirmed that the bot was moving fine and the body was working totally alright. Hao Ren was calm after receiving the green flag from everyone. He was getting annoyed by Markus Bourne. He looked at Lynn Carter and asked, "Is he like that at home as well?"
The lady smiled bitterly and nodded. They were all sitting around the conference room, and looking at Markus Bourne he suddenly asked, "Mister Bourne, when would you be marrying Miss Lynn? I hear that you have been a thing for quite a long time now."
His words made Lynn Carter and Markus Bourne freeze in their steps, they did not expect him to ask such a thing. Markus was flustered and he said, "I proposed her a few days ago. We will marry next year, in the spring."
Hao Ren nodded thoughtfully and said, "I did not expect you to be such a romantic. Well done."
The people all began to tease the couple, when the plant director came in and said, "Chairman, they are here."
Hao Ren stood up from his chair and said, "Thank you, Mister Simone, please help Mister Hymn to bring the bots to the test area."
Simone accepted the instruction with a smile, and Hao Ren led Dion, and Markus to the gate to attend the visitors. Lynn stayed behind to coordinate with Simone and Klaus if needed.
...
Commander Gan and his adjutant, Lieutenant Xia Yun stepped out of the vehicle they spotted Hao Ren and two men standing behind him. The young man smiled and walked up to the two people. He shook hands with Commander Gan, who was wearing his full uniform and they he nodded to Xia Yun before leading them inside.
Hao Ren asked, "Commander Gan, would you be going to the demonstration field or would you like to have some tea or coffee? It is still quite early for the civilians."
Commander Gan shook his head and said, "I have to report the results of the demonstration by the evening today, the Marshal has other things to do, and we also need the bots sooner, so if you don't mind, Chairman Hao, please let's just get on with it."
Hao Ren nodded and with a gesture, he led them to the training field. As they came to the side line they stood in an open space of around hundred meters in diameter. In the center of the field stood a black bot. The body was designed like that of a human.
Klaus stood beside the bot and said, "This is Cure Bot. The body is created with a webbing of steel and carbon fiber threads, it can resist a direct bullet hit from five meters range onwards. If targeted on the joints, it can still withstand a bullet impact from ten meters onwards.
We understand that it is a fatal flaw and that is why the joints and the armor around vital parts is reinforced with Titanium and carbon fiber. We used the new 3-d printing technology to create these armor plates, so if they are damaged in an encounter, they can be replaced and it will save you a lot of cost."
Xia Yun ran out of bullets, and suddenly Klaus rushed up to stand between them. Hao Ren said, "Lieutenant, take aim at Klaus."
Xia Yun was confused but he took aim at Klaus. The bot froze in his steps and rushed up around the side and aimed its hand at Xia Yun before two lines shot from its forearm and landed on Xia Yun. Commander Gan asked, "What is going on?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "This is the protection protocol. The bot is damaged and would try to prevent itself from the enemy attack as much as it can, but as soon as the enemy attacks an Ally, it will intervene and try to stun the attacker. The attack might not look strong but this is only one of the many attacks he can do."
Klaus smiled and replied, "Jango can use a smoke screen and pepper spray as well."
Commander Gan asked, "What about the medical prowess?"
Hao Ren replied, "We have invited a doctor and a few patients. They are waiting for you in the closed room."
The people then watched a medical display. Commander Gan had been documenting and recording everything from the moment they came to see the Bot. The entire situation lasted till noon. Finally, Commander Gan said, "We shall get going now. Chairman Hao, I am very impressed by this demonstration of yours."
Hao Ren smiled and shook hands with him, and walked them to the gates of the factory. However, there he met someone he did not expect to see. He saw a car coming in through the gates, and two young men got out of the vehicle.
The surprise was visible for both the parties. Hao Ren raised his brow and asked, "I wonder what brings Young Master Hamil and Captain Eden here."
The two people did not expect a military leader to be here. Captain Eden took a deep breath and walked over to salute Commander Gan. The latter was his superior officer regardless of the regiment the rank of a regional commander was not something Eden could offend, and the person was here in full uniform.
Hao Ren smiled and asked, "Captain Eden if you are done with your salutations, please clarify your intention of waltzing inside my property. Otherwise, please get lost before I take an action."
Eden clenched his fist and with a cold pair of eyes he said, "I have come to show that you are not worthy of Lingsh..."
Before he could finish his words, Hao Ren had moved. His hand was clasped around Eden's throat, the grip was so hard that Eden's face had turned pale in just a moment. Hao Ren said, "Just so you know, I am her husband, and you are just a stalker who is obsessed with her. I do not care if you are an active soldier, as long as you are not at the front you are just a civilian who is slightly stronger.
I am warning you, mind yourself if you wish to stay alive. The equation between me and my wife is nothing for you to mind."
He choose the direct route and since Eden had come at him, while talking about Han Lingshi, that was directly a capital offense.
