Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 462: Not Even Pretending
When the eastern sky gradually turned white and the first brilliant morning glow dyed half the sky red, crowds of people began to gather on Chang'an Avenue.

Invited audiences from all over the country and even the world arrived here early, looking forward to witnessing this Oriental lion live and seeing what posture it will take today to show its most majestic and powerful appearance to the world.

On the front tower, bigwigs from all walks of life took their seats one after another.
As the winner of the country's highest science and technology award, Kang Chi, who provided a large number of advanced equipment and technologies for the parade, naturally also got a front-row seat on the city wall with an excellent view.

Sitting next to him, in addition to national treasure-level scientific researchers, were bigwigs like Chief Lu and Chief Shen.

Even Cai Yaobin could only stand in the back row.

Kang Chi, dressed in formal attire, leaned against the railing and looked out. Across the wide Chang'an Avenue was the Monument to the People's Heroes, and next to it were neatly arranged audience squares.
Behind them, there is a huge electronic screen.

Kang Chi didn’t know exactly how big it was, but he could see the scene clearly from the city wall several hundred meters high.

Because the ceremony and live broadcast have not started yet, some pre-recorded documentaries about powerful countries are playing on the screen.

Kang Chi retracted his gaze slightly and glanced at the audience seats below the city wall, but his gaze soon stopped.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he found that several eyes were looking back at the city wall, and they seemed to stop on him.

After the two sides stared at each other for a while at a distance of dozens of meters, the other party took the initiative to retract his gaze.

Kang Chi couldn't help but gesture to Chief Shen and asked, "Who's sitting over there?"

"The foreign delegation, the one who just turned back and looked over here is Mikhail, the diplomat from Country M who is hosting this round of negotiations."

I see,

No wonder that look seemed to want to eat me...

Kang Chi nodded: "I hope they can open their eyes and watch carefully later."

"That's for sure." Chief Shen smiled, "And give them a close-up on the big screen."

"Yes, this is a good suggestion! We should propose it to the live broadcast director."

"That's not necessary. If you don't have this much understanding, you don't need to be the director anymore."

……

As time passed, more and more viewers turned on their TVs, computers or smartphones, and as the time reached 10:00, the live broadcast finally appeared.

Billions of eyes from around the world are now focused on Chang'an Avenue.

"Today is your birthday, my motherland..."

The celebration ceremony officially began with the clear and loud singing of a group of children.

"…On Chang'an Avenue, the people's army lined up in high spirits, waiting to be reviewed by the motherland, the leaders and the people."

During the host's opening remarks, the aerial camera swept across the troops waiting for review.

Although the aerial camera is relatively far away, everyone can still see at a glance that the troops being reviewed this time seem to be very different from the last military parade.

In the past, the front row of the military parade was composed of soldiers from various branches of the military, followed by mechanized vehicle columns such as tanks, armored vehicles, drone launchers, and missile vehicles.

The general classification is people and vehicles.

But this time, it seemed to have become man-vehicle-man-vehicle.

“Pause, zoom in!”

Inside the Pentagon, leaders from the Ministry of National Defense and the Intelligence Agency were accompanying Chuan Pu, watching and analyzing in real time the images being broadcast from tens of thousands of kilometers away.

By pausing, zooming in, and restoring the image quality using AI, they soon discovered that the person sandwiched between the vehicle review formation was not a human at all.

Rather, it was those robots that secretly caused them to suffer several heavy losses in the past six months!
Or rather, 'Mechanical Devil!'

Although the two sides had fought secretly several times, they never made it public.
One of the parties did not want to tear each other's skin and directly admitted that he was in trouble.

The party that suffered several serious losses but kept silent was naturally trying to maintain its basic dignity...

"Humph, you're not even pretending..."

"Too arrogant! This is simply going too far!"

"So what? They dared to do this, obviously they were sure that we dared not stand up and condemn them, otherwise the whole world would know that we not only fought that thing, but also lost miserably."

“So for them, this is a normal display!”

"It's more than just a normal display. Do you know what their people will say when the time comes?"

"How to say?"

The DIA director gritted his teeth.
"Too backward, convenient for display!"

"..."

As they gnashed their teeth and felt helpless, everyone at the ceremony stood up and sang loudly: "Forward!"

"go ahead!"

"Forward! Forward!"

……

After the flag-raising ceremony, the solemn atmosphere eased a little and the audience sat down one after another, waiting for the review ceremony to officially begin.

"Hello, comrades!"

"Hello, Chief!"

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

With the soldiers' sonorous and powerful replies, the reviewing convoy slowly drove past the reviewing formations one by one.

This was not a parade, but just a greeting ceremony before the parade, so there was no narration to explain the troops on parade.

However, some military fans who are familiar with weapons and equipment have already typed barrages in major live broadcast rooms:

"First, the Guard of Honor!"

"This is the command team, they are all big guys!"

"This is the strongest army on earth!"

"..."

"99A Main Battle Tank!"

"ZTD-05 amphibious landing vehicle!"

"Fuck, what is this?"

When the reviewing convoy passed by a formation, the audience was stunned.

All I saw were robots that looked like spiders, responding with unique electronic sounds:

"Hello, Chief!"

This refreshing scene instantly ignited the enthusiasm of all the audience.

"robot!"

"Holy crap, is this true? Robots can participate in the military parade?"

"Is this thing sure it can move?"

"Nonsense, if you can't even walk, won't you be an international joke?"

"Is this a question of whether to leave or not? Go back and take a look!"

"Heavy machine guns! And a small missile launcher! This thing is not just a fancy thing, it's a robot with heavy firepower!"

"Fuck, it's true, this thing has a lot of firepower!"

"So if we have a war in the future, we can just use robots?"

"This is great, no one will die! Besides, robot wars are all about production capacity, and we are the best at this!"

"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm watching a science fiction movie?"

"Oh my god, you've made it so hard for us to keep this a secret. I've been worried about our mom for so many years."

Amidst the overwhelming barrage of comments, the convoy quickly passed the mechanical formation.

What was even more unexpected was that the next three consecutive columns were all of this type of robots, but there were very obvious differences in their size and appearance.

Further back, there were two vehicle columns with no soldiers or people, but they also responded with an electronic voice saying "Serve the People"...

The celebration has just begun, but the suspense and anticipation are already full.

I have never seen this before!

Although new drone and missile launcher formations appeared afterwards, they were obviously not as shocking as the previous robot formation.

After all, everyone knows that what can be brought to the military parade is definitely not some laboratory showpiece, but something that has been tested with real guns and live ammunition.

While other countries in the world are still gloating over the creation of robot dogs that can carry some things and humanoid robots that can walk a few steps,
China has secretly created heavy firepower war robots that can be used in military parades!

And the outside world knows nothing about this!
