The system handed me over to the state.

"Yes...yes...I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but...but I've heard that our neighboring country, Shenzhou, possesses very advanced laser technology. Could we...be able to..."

The Emperor's gaze sharpened. "Hanzaka Tetsu, do you know what you're saying?"

"I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry! Your Majesty, I... I..."

The Emperor took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Never mind... Go down. I will handle this matter."

Yu Zhongtian fled in panic, while the Emperor looked at the kneeling man beside him and said, "This matter is entrusted to you. Send out your best members to destroy Shenzhou's laser technology while acquiring it! Don't leave any future troubles!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will definitely complete the mission!"

...........

"Your Majesty, you should rest..."

"It's alright, Avril, I can still manage... But is there really no room for further investigation in this matter?"

Brandon nodded helplessly, "Yes, Mr. President, although we can replicate the Iron Man suits 100%, we are not able to fully utilize their combat capabilities."

"In the movie, most of the functions of the Iron Man suit are controlled by artificial intelligence (AI), with only a small number of key systems and weapon systems being controlled by humans."

"We don't have that kind of powerful artificial intelligence technology, so if we control it manually, we can't fully unleash the power of the battle armor."

"Even if an unmanned control method is used, the flexibility of the armor will be greatly reduced."

Brandon regretted that he hadn't brought back the AI ​​technology from the Iron Man armor when he acquired it. As a result, this technology, which should have been useful, had become a half-scrap metal.

“Mr. President, the responsibility for this matter lies with me. If I had stayed longer, I would have been able to obtain the AI ​​technology, and we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

Morgan shook his head. "No, Brandon, this isn't your fault. You've done enough. This technology isn't entirely useless. Although our soldiers can't perform at 100% of their potential, it's enough to protect them and give them a fighting strength that's greater than that of ordinary soldiers, isn't it?"

Brandon was speechless for a moment. Morgan held Brandon's hand again and said, "Remember, you have already done enough for this country. You don't need to blame yourself. You should be proud!"

"You made America great again. You've put us one step ahead of the Asian dragon. You must continue to work hard for our country, understand?"

Brandon, deeply moved, gripped Morgan's right hand tightly. "Yes, Mr. President, I will make America even greater! It will become the greatest and most powerful nation in the world, I promise!"

.........

"I'm relieved that you're doing well. Has Otto been bothering you?"

No, don't worry. How are you doing over there? Everyone misses you. When are you coming back?

Theresa asked with concern, and Bronya felt a warmth in her heart. This...it felt so good to be cared for. Sometimes she really felt that the place where Theresa and the others were was her home, not the place where she and Sister Yuxin were living now.

This illusion left Bronya feeling quite helpless. If only the system could allow her to freely travel between the Honkai world and the main world someday.

After exchanging pleasantries, the call was nearing its end. Finally, Theresa handed the phone back to Spain, who asked, "When will you be back?"

Do you miss me?

[There's something... Bronya still has many questions she wants to ask you, and she hopes to get the answers.]

"Then let's wait patiently. My next mission is mostly not in your world, and the permanent passage is not yet open, so I won't be able to go back in the short term."

"But don't worry, just like I said, if you keep going down this path, you will definitely be able to realize your wish, your other self."

【…Yes! Bronya will try her best, and she'll find a way to get to your side! Because…Bronya wants to save you too!】

Bronya was stunned... She couldn't understand what Bronya meant by "saving her," but as Bronya hung up the phone, no one could answer her questions.

Just as she was thinking, her phone rang again. This time, Bronya's expression turned serious when she saw the number. A few minutes later, Bronya walked out of her office and looked at her secretary, saying, "You handle the rest. I have urgent business to attend to here!"

"Understood, boss. Please let us know immediately if we need anything."

Bronya nodded and immediately went to the underground parking garage. The Heavy Bunny immediately attached itself to the sports car in front of it. Bronya gently stroked the control panel. "Same place as always, hurry up."

In an instant, the sports car sped out of the garage and raced down the street.

Fifteen minutes later, Bronya stood in a completely sealed, empty room, saluted Old Yu on the screen in front of her, and said, "Commander! Bronya reporting for duty!"

"It's finally here!"

Upon seeing Bronya's arrival, Lao Yu exclaimed with excitement before turning serious and saying, "Alright, now I'll announce the relevant mission to you, Bronya. Just an hour ago, our secret research center in the western desert was attacked by an unknown military force. Currently, the research center's communications have been cut off, and we are unable to contact them."

"The nearby army has already set out, but so far we still don't know where this army came from."

"Is it the same as last time?"

“That’s right! Just like last time, after discussion, we have launched an offensive to try to retake the research center, but... the military equipment those guys have makes it difficult for us to advance. In order to rescue the hostages as soon as possible, we need your help.”

Old Yu's expression was solemn. "Remember, there are semi-finished nuclear bombs in that research center. You understand the importance of that thing."

Chapter 49: Aerial Cleanup

After informing Lin Yuxin of her temporary mission over the phone, Bronya immediately set off. The location of the attack was far away from her, so she couldn't get there by conventional means, because that would be too late.

So Bronya chose the old method and went to the rooftop of the high-rise building. The Heavy Bunny appeared behind her, surrounded by a ripple-like shield.

This is my latest rabbit equipment, which allows the rabbit to form an optical camouflage shield around itself. Also, the rabbit's increasingly large size has made it less suitable to transform into a motorcycle.

Therefore, Bronya has recently developed two brand-new combat forms. One of them is a Viking fighter jet that uses existing Viking fighter jet blueprints, with some details and modifications, to create a rabbit-style Viking fighter jet. The other is the Titan mech. However, the rabbit thinks the Titan mech's form is too ugly and doesn't like it very much, so she can only wait until she has better mech design blueprints in the future to make modifications.

The heavily armored bunny appeared, its body transforming rapidly in mid-air. A few seconds later, a modified blue and white bunny-themed fighter jet (not a bunny fighter!) appeared in front of Bronya.

Compared to the original Viking fighter, the missile launcher was replaced with a special heavy weapon unique to Little Rabbit, the Key of Truth missile. After this type of missile is launched, in addition to the automatic head lock, there is also a super-large range of annihilation structure energy diffusion, which is more lethal than ordinary missiles. Most importantly, there is no friendly fire, and a maximum of 50 missiles can be launched at a time. The second wave only needs 3 seconds to reload, making it a veritable ground-cleansing machine.

Furthermore, there are state-of-the-art target drones intercepting lasers in the four directions of the machine: front, back, left, and right. Although the research institute has only gone halfway in its research on precision laser technology, she has been able to construct them directly through the Herrscher of Reason's abilities.

Its function is to intercept missiles, and as a weapon for close-range air combat, it can directly cut through the armor of enemy aircraft and launch surprise attacks.

The dual Gatling guns in mech mode are simply enhanced with electromagnetic accelerators, resulting in greater initial velocity and acceleration, as well as increased accuracy and power.

Of course, no definitive tests have been conducted yet, and this real-world test may be the opportunity to determine its exact strength.

Bronya leaped and landed lightly inside the mech. Her ordinary dress was replaced by a gorgeous black and white gown. After taking her seat, Bronya quickly set the flight path, put on her holographic goggles, and focused her gaze.

"Heavy Bunny...launch!"

In an instant, blue flames shot out from the rear of the machine, and the fighter jet that the little rabbit had transformed into shot into the sky with an initial velocity and acceleration that an ordinary person could not withstand.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Military District Air Force Operations Command Center.

"Sir, Miss Bronya has already set off, and she's moving very fast."

The soldier monitoring the radar immediately reported to Lao Yu behind him. Lao Yu stepped forward, took a look, and was terrified. "What kind of insane speed is that! What kind of vehicle is she using!"

That's four times the speed of existing fighter jets! It can't even compare to the J-22 fighter jet that she developed herself! What on earth did she fly there?

"Judging from the altitude, it should be an airplane. At this speed... sir, has our air force acquired some new good stuff?"

Old Yu tapped the soldier on the back of the head. "Monitor carefully, record the data. Also, notify the war zone to clear the airspace and hand the battlefield over to her..."

"Roger that, J9 Squadron. This is command post. All aircraft in the squadron, return to base and evacuate immediately. Repeat, return to base and evacuate immediately!"

On the battlefield, the J9 squad, which was preparing to carry out a bombing mission in the desert sky, was somewhat confused by this sudden order. However, after the command kept repeating the order, the captain could only reply through the communication channel.

"J9-1 received. All personnel shall immediately evacuate and return to base."

With the sudden withdrawal of the air force, which had not yet joined the battle, and the ground advance becoming increasingly difficult, the army, which was employing siege tactics, also received news of its withdrawal from the battlefield at the same time.

"Boss! The entire Chinese army and air force have retreated!"

The mercenaries who had occupied the research center for defense were puzzled as they watched the Shenzhou army and air force suddenly withdraw from the battlefield. Why did they suddenly retreat? Had they given up?

"I have a bad feeling..."

The mercenary squad leader suddenly sensed something was wrong. There were still hostages inside the research facility, their last resort. But before they could even use their trump card, the enemy had already retreated.

"Boss! The radar has detected something unidentified rapidly approaching, it... it's already right above us!"

The mercenaries were completely dumbfounded, because they watched as the object on the radar rapidly approached their position. In an instant, countless missiles rained down from the sky. The rapidly expanding structural energy after the missiles exploded instantly annihilated all the mercenaries' tanks and armored vehicles, along with their weapons and equipment, leaving only their clothes behind.

The mercenaries, who had never seen anything like this before, were dumbfounded and fled in panic, shouting and yelling. The next moment, countless Titan mechs suddenly appeared in the sky. The shockwaves from the Titan mechs landing caught the mercenaries off guard, causing them to fall to the ground. They stared in horror at the large mechs gleaming with a blue light before them. Then, one of the mercenaries punched the terrified mercenaries who had lost their fighting ability, knocking them unconscious. In an instant, the once impregnable outer defenses of the research center were completely wiped out.

At this moment, the mech in the air transformed and fell. The massive and heavily armed Bunny dragged Bronya down to the front of the research center.

At this time, all the mercenaries around the research center had been disarmed, all their weapons and equipment had been destroyed, and Bronya had already scanned and backed up all the data before eliminating them.

Now, all we need to do is deal with the mercenaries inside.

"You're too big to fight if you stay here and guard the area."

Bronya touched the little rabbit's palm, and the little rabbit nodded, controlling the Titan to surround the area. Bronya then notified the nearby army to come and collect the heads, while she herself entered the research center.

Meanwhile, inside the research center, a man with a scraggly beard and fully armed, holding a light blue spherical device, asked impatiently, "You bunch of useless trash! How much longer?! Hurry up!"

"Boss! The computer's data transfer speed is limited; there's no way to speed it up!"

The mercenary in charge of the mission replied helplessly. At this moment, another mercenary walked over and said seriously, "Mole, there's a problem. All the outer guard troops have lost their response."

The mercenary known as the Mole frowned. "What are these bastards doing? They just told me that the Divine Army wouldn't be able to get in for three hours, and now there's not a single word from them? Fengshen! Any leads?!"

"Everything is normal, boss. The perimeter is secure. How much longer will the data transfer take?"

"Ten minutes, tsk... But seriously, this thing is really useful."

The mole tossed the blue spherical metal device in his hand. It was because of this thing that they dared to do what they wanted right under the nose of Shenzhou.

Just then, the mercenary codenamed Wind God turned serious. "Boss, the detector has detected an intruder."

"Hmm? They've infiltrated. How many people are there?"

“One...and...entered through the main entrance openly and honestly....”

"One...one?!"

Chapter 50: Stuck

As Bronya entered the research center, her brow furrowed at the chaotic scene: broken glass, scattered documents and electronic devices, bloodstains, and corpses.

If the other party actually committed murder, then this matter is not so simple.

Bronya originally planned to rescue the researchers, then disarm all the mercenaries and see if she could find the artifacts used for time travel, and then wipe out their hideout. But now that the other side is serious and has even killed the researchers, she can't do that anymore.

Turning the body over, the deceased was a middle-aged male researcher. He had been shot in the back with multiple bullet holes, indicating that he died from a gunshot wound to the back while fleeing. This meant that, like the previous attack by the Qiming Military Command, mercenaries suddenly appeared, carrying a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment, including main battle tanks and armored vehicles. According to reports, this time the enemy even carried anti-aircraft equipment and heavy firepower.

Bronya was now very curious about the other party's background.

After examining the nearby corpses, Bronya continued toward the facility where she sensed the presence of humans.
