Everyone had high expectations for this test.
Especially Major General Hage of the Army.
He knew very well that if the SAR-1 Combat Robot could truly play a significant role.
It would be enough to change the landscape of future warfare.
The current Military still operates under a human-tank synchronized warfare model.
But when facing small-scale battles, the human-tank synchronized method becomes difficult.
Because tanks are not flexible enough.
The SAR-1 Combat Robot is not large in size.
It is sufficiently flexible.
And the price is much lower.
Most importantly, it can reduce soldier casualties.
The average equipment value of an infantry soldier is around 20,000 US dollars.
But the death gratuity is as high as hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, this does not include the time and cost of training a soldier.
So for the Military, the price of 800,000 US dollars seems high.
But after considering various factors, it is a completely acceptable price.
Inside the test field.
To better utilize the performance of the SAR-1 Combat Robot.
The test field chosen was urban street combat terrain.
The experimental method was a small infantry team against 10 SAR-1 Combat Robots.
All the soldiers were full of confidence.
They were all true elites, specially brought by the General.
Let alone these SAR-1 Combat Robots.
Their real target was to fight against the T-800.
Because in their hands, they not only had ordinary weapons but also heavy firepower including RPGs.
Of course...
The SAR-1 Combat Robot could only use blank rounds.
General Hage glanced at the test field and smiled:
"How long do you think these SAR-1 Combat Robots can last?"
Everyone was smiling.
"Under this configuration, I think the battle will end within ten minutes."
"If the SAR-1 Combat Robot truly has the performance described by Mr. Locke.
Perhaps it can cause 30% casualties to this team."
Obviously, no one was optimistic about the SAR-1 Combat Robot team.
"Mr. Nolan, what do you think?"
The Major General from the Navy asked.
Nolan smiled:
"I also think the battle can be resolved within ten minutes.
Although these soldiers are excellent.
But they still cannot deal with the SAR-1 Combat Robot."
Hearing this.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Nolan Locke was indeed a kid who had never seen the world.
It would be one thing if someone was controlling them.
But according to Nolan Locke's statement.
This time, the SAR-1 Combat Robots were all using autonomous programs.
Nolan did not argue.
They simply did not understand how powerful these combat robots could be in small-scale battles.
The battle began.
The soldier team advanced in a fan shape.
Everyone looked alert.
They were confident because they had the capability.
But they would never let down their guard.
Suddenly, a dense network of firepower appeared.
Everyone was instantly horrified.
They didn't even have time to react.
Under the firepower network, two people were 'killed'.
Fortunately, the others had already taken emergency cover, hiding behind obstacles.
"Counterattack! Where are the RPGs!"
The Captain roared.
He did not expect such a big mistake at the start of the battle.
In the stands, Nolan's lips curved up.
General Hage's expression was not good.
"These idiots, they were actually ambushed by a group of robots."
He cursed a couple of times but didn't care too much.
The soldiers lacked sufficient understanding of these combat robots.
It was normal to suffer a setback at the beginning.
Moreover, he was very happy that the SAR-1 Combat Robot could have such excellent combat programs.
Inside the test field.
Along with the Captain's roar.
A Rocket was quickly launched from the launcher.
A roar.
The SAR-1 Combat Robot that had just been spitting fire instantly fell silent.
These SAR-1 Combat Robots were made of ordinary alloy material.
Naturally, they could not withstand the attack of an RPG Rocket.
"Two units eliminated."
The Captain muttered.
He didn't expect to achieve a two-for-two record at the beginning.
This was simply a disgrace to him.
"All of you, cheer up. Next, we must achieve zero casualties!"
Zero casualties was the goal they had set at the beginning.
But the subsequent battle far exceeded their expectations.
The combat reaction of the SAR-1 Combat Robot was beyond their imagination.
Soon, the casualties had gone from 2:2 to 13:5.
This situation made all the soldiers look grim.
They only had 23 people.
If this continued.
They would be completely wiped out.
The soldiers below were still fighting hard.
In the stands, General Hage's face was solemn.
The performance of the SAR-1 Combat Robot was even better than described.
Perhaps, he could consider purchasing more.
Finally, the battle ended at 7 minutes.
The entire team was wiped out.
The SAR-1 Combat Robots still had one half-damaged robot that could not move, and one intact SAR-1 Combat Robot.
The current battle situation made General Hage look forward to the T-800 even more.
"Mr. Locke, I have decided to increase the procurement quantity of the SAR-1 Combat Robot to 550 units."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the following exciting content!
He calculated it silently.
And then made this decision.
550 units is actually not a lot.
But the SAR-1 Combat Robot has never truly been on the battlefield, so in this light, it is actually quite a bit.
Hearing the words of the Navy General, Nolan's eyes lit up.
550 units means sales reaching 440 million US dollars.
The profit alone exceeds 250 million.
This wave is a huge profit!
Nolan looked at the others, but unfortunately, compared to the Army's generosity, the others were not so generous.
Although those private armed companies were interested, they would at most purchase three to five units.
General Hage said again:
"We have witnessed the power of the SAR-1, and it is indeed very good.
Now I want to know if the T-800 is worth its price."
"In that case, let's wait and see."
Compared to the conventional combat capability of the SAR-1 Combat Robot.
The T-800 is a super-conventional weapon.
Nolan had high confidence in it.
"Still using these soldiers to fight?"
Nolan looked at those disappointed soldiers.
Hage said without hesitation:
"No, use the SAR-1. I want to see a feast of SAR-1 versus T-800!
All costs will be borne by the Military."
Hearing this, Nolan nodded.
"No problem, I guarantee that the T-800 will satisfy everyone."
Nolan called over a researcher.
He told him to prepare to activate the T-800.
Looking at the researcher in front of him, he couldn't help but feel helpless.
The original Locke Technology did not have any outstanding researchers.
After shedding its skin and establishing a new company, the talent shortage was even more severe.
Perhaps he should consider bringing in a few top genius researchers.
For example... is it possible for Dr. Bruce Banner to come and work?
He thought for a moment, and it seemed there was indeed this possibility.
Before long, the T-800 had been placed in the center of the test field.
This time, it was a confrontation between machine and machine!
For this battle.
A total of 13 SAR-1 Combat Robots were deployed.
This would be a feast of mechanical firepower!
"Everyone, let's begin.
Please enjoy this feast!"
