Chapter 247 Silent as a Cicada
She tied her long hair into a high ponytail, and then said coldly to "Qin Xinghe":
"If I accelerate and decelerate twice and then change direction, and this tree armor still has no problems, then I will put you under the tree armor's feet and do the third 100-kilometer acceleration! Do you understand?"
These words were originally spoken viciously, but coupled with Natalia's stunning beauty, they didn't seem so fierce, but rather pleasing to the eye.
At this time, the look in "Qin Xinghe's" eyes when he looked at Natalia seemed more and more obsessed, and a blush appeared on his face, as if he had seen the lover of his dreams.
Although "he" didn't say anything else, this change made Natalia very angry.
Natalia really couldn't understand why this plain-looking dwarf, according to gossip, had successfully started dating Talkoko.
But I didn't expect that the way "he" looked at me was still so annoying.
He is so ugly and a second-class cripple, yet he dares to act like a playboy. Could it be that he still dares to dream of having women on his left and right? !
Natalia, filled with disgust for "Qin Xinghe", walked down from the podium and came to the tiger tree armor in the center of the venue.
She just leaped lightly, tapped the armor with her slender feet several times, and then floated into the cockpit like a light willow catkin.
Apart from anything else, just looking at the aesthetics, it is much better looking than those rough guys who can only arch their butts and climb the ladder to get into the cockpit.
"Oh, this young lady is quite skilled in martial arts. I will ask her for some advice later. Maybe I can use it in future tree armor fighting."
Miss Shen muttered to herself.
Soon, Natalia activated the Tiger Tree Armor.
As the hydraulic connecting rods and various joints unfolded, the tree armor body, which was originally in a prone position, gradually rose up, and the engine continued to make sharp explosions, like turning the throttle of a motorcycle in neutral gear.
As we all know, this is a preheating for launch control so that the engine can reach its best condition.
Next, Natalia only needs to gently push the joystick, and the tree armor will accelerate to more than 150 kilometers within a few seconds.
Everyone present held their breath, wanting to see whether the female leader could complete this seemingly impossible challenge as she said.
The eldest prince Steve was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his palms. He knew very well that the success or failure at this moment would be directly related to his future and destiny.

The tree armor has started.
The people watching at the scene only felt a flash of light, followed by a huge rumbling sound that went straight into their ears.
The tree armor that was just doing gymnastics has now transformed into a real beast.
Its change in form from being stationary to moving at full speed shocked everyone watching.
At this time, people realized that the experimental process, which was just running, jumping, and moving hands and feet, was indeed a bit too childish.
And now this huge monster that is rushing forward at full speed and then turning back is what a real battlefield killer should look like.
Miss Shen muttered to herself, "This woman is quite capable. No wonder she is the only one who has the final say in the Blood Shadow Army, except for McFlurry."
Shen Yiyi, who is also an excellent tree armor driver, naturally understands the value of the quick start that Natalia just performed, not to mention that she was operating a tree armor that she was not familiar with.
She is worthy of the title of deputy head of the group.
The tiger tree armor weighing 37,000 pounds had such an indomitable momentum while running at high speed that the people watching around felt a little breathless.
Especially those designers in the research center who had never actually been on the battlefield, were staring in amazement at the tree armor that had never burst out at such a speed, and suddenly began to worry.
At the same time, it also dawned on me that such heavy tree armor was needed to carry out such high-intensity combat on the battlefield.
Their concerns were justified because they soon became a reality.
When the speed increased to 175 kilometers, the tree armor had reached the edge of the training ground.
Natalia began to make an emergency stop and prepared to change direction and turn back.
At this moment, the armor suddenly made a strange "cracking" sound.
Then, with a "bang", the entire tree armor seemed to suddenly lose control and was unable to respond to Natalia's operations.
Looking from the outside, just now, the left front limb of the tree carapace seemed to have been dismembered and split into several parts in an instant.
The whole body fell sideways and rushed forward with huge inertia.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the tiger tree beetle that had lost its left front limb crashed into the thick anti-collision guardrail at the edge of the venue, and at the same time knocked a big hole in the tall soft material piled up behind the anti-collision guardrail.
"Captain!"
"Nana!"
Accompanied by a few exclamations, everyone on the rostrum stood up.
The fire emergency personnel who had been on guard at the scene also quickly rushed to the scene.
As the fire-extinguishing powder was scattered, a figure shot out from the smoke and dust - it was Natalia.
It seemed that she was fine, and people were relieved.

At this moment, a smug smile appeared on Miss Shen's face, while the designers in the research center on the other side of the venue fell silent.
Needless to say, the prediction of that "fake" designer named "Qin Xinghe" came true.
The defect that "he" mentioned is real, and the speed change process from extreme acceleration to extreme deceleration was only done once, and it didn't even reach the second time.
Soon, the tree armor was dragged to the center of the venue and people gathered around it.
At this time, it can be seen that the left front limb of the tree beetle has been broken into several sections, and huge cracks have appeared on the double-wishbone structure of the two hind limbs that are mainly responsible for exerting force.
You know, even the slightest deformation of the delicate joints will affect the transmission of power, let alone such a huge crack?
If this happened on a real battlefield, this alone would be enough to put the driver of this tree armor into an irretrievable situation.
Faced with such direct experimental results, McFlurry's face was as cold as ice, but he still nodded to "Qin Xinghe" to express his gratitude.
The eldest prince Steve stood beside "Qin Xinghe" without any hesitation and hugged "his" shoulders intimately.
And Natalia, the tree armor driver, stared at "Qin Xinghe" with a very complicated look for a long time.
As an eyewitness to the incident, she naturally knew how serious the harm of this defect was.
At this time, McFlurry walked up to the designers of the research center, looked at them steadily, and began to narrate without a trace of emotion.
"In fact, in tree armor combat, speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour are just normal speeds for those close-range combat masters."
"And in some special moments when you need to fight hard, it is not uncommon for the speed to reach 200 kilometers per hour or even higher."
"Especially our Blood Shadow Slaughter Army, which is a force that mainly attacks by high-speed penetration and close-range combat."
"Many of them also install high-speed auxiliary thrusters on their tree armor to increase the assault speed, or to allow their tree armor to perform emergency evasion against high-speed artillery or energy weapons."
"And today, your design really disappoints me!"
McFlurry's words overshadowed all the designers and engineers present.
They realized that their understanding of tree armor combat on the battlefield was far behind the times.
Professor Ledney's face had turned pale by now, and his back was soaked with sweat.
He didn't expect that a tree armor weighing thirty or forty thousand pounds would make such violent movements.
Obviously, the tree armor fighting method on the battlefield now is very different from the traditional fighting method in his mind.
Moreover, he had previously used the driving method and materials used in ordinary civilian fighting tree armor as a reference for military fighting tree armor, which was a huge mistake.
"It seems that my career as the director of the experimental center has come to an end." Professor Ledney thought sadly.

Seeing everyone's different expressions, McFlurry stared solemnly at the group of designers in front of him who were as silent as a cicada, and said in a deep voice, word by word:
"If this flaw were discovered on the battlefield..."
