Xia Country.

Southwest Military Industrial Equipment Department.

In an office, when Chen Wei heard this news, he suddenly stood up from his office chair, his eyes wide open like big copper bells: "What?"

"Commander, the entire internet is buzzing with news and topics about the artificial intelligence robots from Mist City Arts and Science University, and it’s not just within the country, it’s incredibly hot overseas as well."

Assistant Zhang, working under Chen Wei, explained.

"Did you just say that at the competition site, the artificial intelligence robot from Mist City Arts and Science University could fly and even achieved supersonic speed?"

Chen Wei was more interested in this.

"Yes, there’s a video."

Assistant Zhang immediately took out his mobile phone and handed it to Chen Wei to watch.

Chen Wei looked closely and saw in the video, the artificial intelligence robot Big White from Mist City Arts and Science University, wearing red armor, flying in midair. During its attack on Google Company’s artificial intelligence robot Alpha Dog, it indeed broke the sound barrier, reaching supersonic flight.

Breaking the sound barrier to achieve supersonic flight is actually not new to Chen Wei.

After all, as the commander of the Southwest Military Industrial Equipment Department, Chen Wei had seen a lot. Whether it was military fighters or other flying equipment of the military district, reaching supersonic speed was not an issue at all. Almost every day during fighter jet training, there would be instances of breaking the sound barrier.

However.

What surprised Chen Wei was that an artificial intelligence robot from Mist City Arts and Science University was actually capable of achieving supersonic flight.

With the technological prowess of Mist City Arts and Science University, allowing a robot to fly was not surprising, but making a robot achieve supersonic speed during combat.

The energy propulsion technology implied in this, could it really be that simple?

Could it be using something similar to the engines and fuel of supersonic fighter jets?

That’s not very realistic though.

After all, the engines of supersonic fighter jets are so big, it’s impossible to install them in a small artificial intelligence robot.

"Interesting."

Chen Wei stroked his chin, muttering: "Now that artificial intelligence robots can achieve supersonic flight, the military application value is quite substantial."

"Commander Chen, you’re right, if this is used for our individual soldiers in combat, the effect would certainly be incredibly powerful."

Assistant Zhang said excitedly: "Individual soldier flight combat could become a reality."

"It seems, I need to have a talk with Principal Ding."

Chen Wei’s lips revealed a hint of a smile.

As the commander of the Southwest Military Industrial Equipment Department, Chen Wei was truly delighted that a privately-owned higher education institution like Mist City Arts and Science University, willing to spend money on investing in scientific research, had emerged in the southwest region.

Because when it comes to high-tech products, the first field of application is undoubtedly the military.

After all.

If many high-tech products are to be applied on a large scale, the cost might be extremely high for an initial period of time, and only the military sector could afford such high costs.

Once the relevant technology matures, it can then be utilized in the civilian sector.

"Right, should I contact Principal Ding now?"

Assistant Zhang nodded.

"No need, I’ll personally call Principal Ding."

Officer Chen Wei shook his head and immediately took out his mobile phone, calling Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University.

...

Over at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Ding Yue was in the midst of an interview with Bingbing, a beautiful reporter from NTS.

Suddenly his phone rang.

"Oh my, excuse me, can I take a call?"

Ding Yue took out his phone to check. Initially, he thought to continue with the interview if the call wasn’t too important and to return it after the interview was over, but upon a careful look.

Wow.

Goodness.

It was Officer Chen Wei from the Southwest Military Industrial Equipment Department. How could he not answer the call?

That was someone from the military.

And moreover.

Ding Yue guessed that if he was not wrong, Officer Chen Wei from the Southwest Military Industrial Equipment Department was contacting him because there must be a military order coming!

Who would make Mist City Arts and Science University’s scientific research, which has been quite powerful these past years, highly suitable for early application in the military sector?

"Hello, Officer Chen, good evening."

Ding Yue answered the phone and greeted warmly.

"Haha, Principal Ding, congratulations."

Officer Chen Wei said with a smile.

It seemed that Officer Chen Wei must also know about Mist City Arts and Science University’s victory in the challenge match against Google Company’s artificial intelligence robot.

"Hey, what’s there to congratulate."

Ding Yue said modestly.

"Your Mist City Arts and Science University’s artificial intelligence robot Big White has defeated Google Company’s AI robot Alpha Dog. Isn’t that worth a congratulation? Now, your Big White from Mist City Arts and Science University, it’s one of the top artificial intelligence robots in the world."

Officer Chen Wei stated clearly.

"Where, where, it’s just some toys," Ding Yue said with a laugh.

A superior artificial intelligence robot, goodness, turns into a toy in Principal Ding’s mouth?

I don’t believe you one bit.

Officer Chen Wei also laughed and said: "Principal Ding, where on earth are there toys as amazing as that? I heard that your Big White has acquired a flying function and has even achieved supersonic flight."
