“Brother Lin, provide this video to the military, and find a way for Camel to discover it independently.”

“What’s the content?”

“It’s footage of the Patriot-3 air defense missile altering its trajectory mid-flight.”

Lin Chao was initially perplexed by this revelation. However, upon observing Tang Rui’s enigmatic expression, he deduced that this information had dubious origins.

“Understood, I’ll handle it.”

“By the way, this incident led to the deaths of many multimillionaires on Camel’s side.”

In China, millionaires were considered wealthy individuals. Yet, among Camel’s ranks, they were merely ordinary citizens, far from being considered rich.

Meanwhile, on the opposing side, Camel held a press conference after the battle.

Although he delivered a lengthy speech, the essence could be summarized in a single sentence: “Our camels are now standing tall.” historical

Camel hardly needed to utter a word to demonstrate his victory; the world was already well aware of the outcome.

While Camel’s army’s direct confrontation with the enemy garnered significant attention, the real intrigue lay in the robotic dog.

Crimson Technology had officially stepped onto the international stage at this moment.

The prior fire drones failed to elicit much interest, as similar technologies existed worldwide. Many countries mistakenly assumed these drones were products of the China Electricity Department, due to their joint procurement.

However, this time was different.

The mechanical dog took center stage, literally trampling over the remnants of Hussain’s arsenal and onto the world platform.

Regardless of the opponent’s caliber, this was a genuine battle, unmistakably demonstrating the critical role played by the 200 robotic dogs.

Military experts from various nations were intrigued by the mechanical dog’s performance, realizing it was far more than a mere charge-and-attack weapon.

For a brief moment, profiles of Crimson Technology landed on the desks of numerous influential figures.

Simultaneously, within Camel’s military camp, reports surfaced of five damaged mechanical dogs, supposedly destroyed by a ballistic missile.

But was this the actual scenario?

The five mechanical dogs were loaded into a vehicle and transported to an estate outside the city. A waiting transport helicopter then swiftly airlifted them to the sea, eventually landing on the deck of a certain nation’s Fifth Fleet.

“Five robot dogs exploded?”

Upon receiving Celia’s message, Tang Rui wore a bewildered expression.

Camel had just concluded a morning battle, yet the robotic dogs detonated in the afternoon.

Some parties certainly worked swiftly.

“Where did the explosions occur? Show me on the map.”

Tang Rui’s curiosity was piqued. While the individual explosive power of the mechanical dogs was relatively minor, the collective detonation of five could cause significant damage. It was akin to blowing up the reinforced concrete pillars of a building. The structural integrity of the building would be severely compromised.

“Hmm?”

When Tang Rui examined the map displayed before him, he couldn’t help but be perplexed.

Why had the explosions taken place over the sea?

“Celia, why did you activate the self-destruct sequence of the robotic dogs?”

“According to the instructions, the self-destruct sequence is triggered when someone forcibly opens the mechanical dog’s casing.”

Could it be that someone anticipated a bomb and dismantled the mechanical dogs at sea as a precautionary measure?

Tang Rui’s understanding remained incomplete.

It wasn’t until he stumbled upon an international news article that enlightenment struck.

“Improper soldier operation leads to explosion in Fifth Fleet aircraft carrier maintenance workshop, causing a fire in the hangar. Though the fire was swiftly controlled, it resulted in the scrapping of three fighter jets and damage to the flight deck above.”

Crack!

Tang Rui, upon reading the news, picked up a cantaloupe from the coffee table and took a substantial bite.

It was delectable.

After savoring the cantaloupe, Tang Rui retrieved his phone and dialed Lin Chao’s number.

“Brother Lin, could you arrange for a few special forces soldiers to provide me temporary protection?”

“What’s going on?” Lin Chao inquired urgently.

“Nothing significant, just that my robotic dog exploded.”

“The robot dog exploded?”

“Yes, it detonated on an aircraft carrier, resulting in damage to the flight deck that needs repair.”

“Wait a moment.. You mean.. I understand.”

Lin Chao hung up the phone.

Tang Rui felt his safety was compromised.

They descended into the basement.

He retrieved several bags of industrial chemical fiber silk from a storage locker, remnants from a previous project, and now was the perfect time to use them.

Subsequently, Tang Rui went to his room and procured a set of spring and autumn sportswear, complete with a hooded top.

Shh!

Tang Rui wielded scissors, creating incisions in the clothing, which he then tore apart forcefully.

In moments, his clothing had been converted into strips of fabric.

Li Shuyao, eyeing his actions, put down her phone and regarded him with a perplexed expression.

What was transpiring? Why was he tearing his clothes? While tearing stockings might be understandable, shredding one’s clothing was another matter, especially if it was one’s own sportswear. Was there any gratification derived from dismantling these garments?

After Tang Rui transformed his entire outfit into fabric strips, he employed silk thread to reassemble them. During this process, he affixed thin aluminum sheets to the fabric.

“What are you up to?” Li Shuyao approached, curiosity piqued.

“I’m designing a novel fish-scale bulletproof vest. I’d like to create a prototype to assess its impact on my mobility,” Tang Rui explained.

Li Shuyao didn’t take it too seriously, thinking that Tang Rui was once again indulging in peculiar pursuits. After all, his thought process diverged significantly from that of the average person.

He labored for over two hours, resulting in an unattractive garment.

While its appearance wasn’t captivating, the system recognized it.

A faint glow emanated, and the system interface materialized.

Tang Rui presented the attire to the basement and initiated the reinforcement process.

Material Enhancement – 1 Origin Point.

Style Enhancement – 1 Origin Point.

After fortification, the attire finally appeared presentable, albeit a tad unusual.

[Item: Carbon Nano Energy-Absorbing Protective Sportswear]

[Experience: 0/2000]

[Enhancement: Energy Absorption of Carbon Nano Particles (Defense)]

[Attribute: Damage Reduction by 150%, Comfort Increased by 80%]

[Origin: 2209.28]

The result was a set of sleek, black sportswear adorned with subtle smoke-like patterns.

The fabric boasted a superior texture, softness, and wrinkle resistance, despite its thinness.

Tang Rui couldn’t help but contemplate the paradox of such a thin material providing effective bulletproofing.

He decided to try it on.

The fit was impeccable, and the comfort levels were remarkable.

“I’ll don this attire tomorrow.”

The following morning, Tang Rui concluded his breakfast preparations, intending to head out. To his surprise, he spotted a military vehicle parked behind his SUV.

“Brother Yang, are these individuals in the vehicle here to protect me?”

“Yes.”

“Shouldn’t we go introduce ourselves to them?”

“There’s no need.”

Given the occupants in the rear vehicle displayed no intent to disembark, Tang Rui abandoned the idea of approaching them..
