One after another, SAR-1 Combat Robots were transported down from the transport planes.
Mixed in among them were T-800s.
The T-800s also had corresponding search modules.
Of course, this was a battlefield.
For the Military, the most important thing was to test how the T-800 performed.
No matter how realistic a test was, it was still just a test.
It was far less important than a real battlefield environment like this.
Afterward, with the help of the researchers brought by Locke.
The Military's technical personnel quickly began to master the control methods for the SAR-1 Combat Robot.
They were going to conduct a search and rescue operation.
The SAR-1 Combat Robot did not yet have the ability to operate independently.
But as long as someone controlled it, it was completely different.
As for the several T-800s, their controls were relatively complex.
So the people from Locke Technology controlled them directly.
In Nolan's view, this was already quite perfect.
As a weapon of war.
It didn't need too much intelligence.
At least, not yet.
"The radar radius range of each SAR-1 Combat Robot is 2.3 kilometers.
We have already searched one-third of the area, so what we need to search is the remaining part.
Coupled with the Military's search.
I think, in two weeks at most, we will be able to conduct a thorough sweep of the entire basin."
Hearing this.
James Rhodes looked surprised.
"Are these little guys' search capabilities so outstanding?"
"Of course, their existence is that of a small tactical platform.
It can help soldiers solve many problems they can't solve."
James Rhodes said with emotion:
"If it's really as excellent as you say it is.
I truly hope it can be equipped throughout the entire Military as soon as possible.
It's just that its price is a bit too expensive."
Nolan glanced at him.
"A price of 800,000 US dollars is already very cheap.
You have to consider that this big guy doesn't just have research costs, but also production costs and company operating costs.
If we lower the price further, we might as well give them away for free."
James Rhodes rolled his eyes.
Who didn't know?
What was the difference between Locke Technology Nolan Locke's position and Tony Stark's position at Stark Industries?
Both of them had single-handedly propped up their entire companies.
It was possible that all the other researchers combined weren't as useful as one of them.
Of course, he didn't say this.
No one was a fool.
Possessing intelligence never meant having to give back to society for free.
With the help of the robots.
The subsequent search work indeed sped up considerably.
A week later.
"Report, an anomaly has been detected." Someone reported.
James Rhodes nodded.
An 'anomaly' referred to a place where there was human presence.
In fact, they had discovered more than one such location during this period.
These anomalies had various sources.
Some were refugees, and some were rebels.
Therefore, during this time, they had also eliminated more than one rebel group.
This gave the Military considerable confidence.
"Prepare response plan number 3, let's go take a look."
Even if the possibility of Tony Stark being there was minimal.
They couldn't give up.
"Colonel, this time, the SAR-1 Combat Robot detected a large number of electronic signals. It's highly likely to be a rebel stronghold, and they are also carrying a large amount of high-tech equipment."
Hearing this, James Rhodes' spirits lifted.
Not a civilian residence!
Plus, they had already swept through multiple rebel Bases.
This time, the possibility was high!
"Nolan, do you want to come along?"
James Rhodes looked at Nolan.
After spending this time together, their relationship had become quite good.
It had to be said, James Rhodes was an excellent soldier.
And Nolan, as an arms dealer, naturally had to deal with soldiers.
"Of course, do you remember what I said?
I can't wait to see what Tony Stark looks like."
On the other side.
Inside a cave.
Tony Stark and Ethan were busily making the final preparations for their escape.
Their equipment was a steel armor that looked very bulky.
Although it was bulky.
But Tony Stark had improved its functions as much as possible.
With previous research as a foundation.
Although the conditions were crude, he was still very satisfied with this suit.
The energy supply was a miniature Arc Reactor he created using a missile.
"Ethan, help me put this big guy on."
Ethan nodded.
Putting on this big guy wasn't easy.
"Ethan, after we get out, how about you come work at Stark Industries?
I believe our cooperation will be perfect."
Tony Stark said.
He was very grateful to this lifesaver.
Ethan hesitated a little.
He was also a physicist.
And he considered himself to have some capability.
But.
In front of Tony Stark, he could only feel inferior.
He greatly doubted if he could create any value at Stark Industries.
"Hey, Ethan, trust me, I'm a genius.
Coming with me to Stark Industries is absolutely the most correct choice you will make in your life!"
Tony Stark said proudly while gesturing for Ethan to help him put on the suit.
To build a suit under these conditions.
In this World, besides him, could anyone else have done it?
Moreover, he had also overcome the difficulty of miniaturizing the reactor.
This was simply a genius concept.
Just as he was putting it on.
Two guards walked over.
They knocked on the large iron door with their sticks.
Tony and Ethan were slightly startled.
"I'll go keep them steady."
Ethan spoke immediately.
Then he showed himself and said:
"Is there something you need?"
The two guards glanced at him and said:
"Nothing, just finish what the boss told you to make as soon as possible."
"Understood," Ethan said.
Just as the two were about to leave.
Suddenly, one of them said:
"Wait, where's the other one?"
Ethan instantly became nervous.
He quickly said:
"He's busy, you know, with the missile your boss told him to work on. That thing is very dangerous, and he's performing a very precise operation, so he can't leave."
Ethan said this while glancing at Tony Stark.
At this moment, Tony Stark was clumsily carrying out the final assembly.
But it looked a bit difficult.
Ethan watched the two men, who were discussing in low voices, seemingly preparing to enter.
He quickly said:
"I'll go help him finish what he's doing, then he can come over."
Having said that, Ethan didn't care about anything else.
He immediately rushed to Tony Stark's side and helped him put on the armor.
This was their only chance of survival.
"Hey, stand right there!"
The two guards became increasingly suspicious.
Just then.
Boom!
An explosion sounded.
The faces of the two guards instantly turned serious.
The next moment.
The sound of gunfire rang out.
"The Military is here!"
Ethan was overjoyed.
Tony Stark also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Perfect, hurry and help me finish this, and we'll rush out too.
I want the Military guys to know that even without them, I can get out on my own."
Meanwhile, outside.
Nolan was wearing a Delta 6 protective suit.
He ignored James Rhodes' strange expression beside him.
"It seems this is the place!"
Nolan's lips curved into a smile.
"Let's go in and take a look. Perhaps Tony Stark is trying to find a way to escape."
Below, the Gatling guns in the hands of several T-800s spat out fire.
Destroying all enemies within their line of sight.
The SAR-1 Combat Robots formed a complete formation.
Countless rounds poured out, delivering precise strikes.
The rebels before them had no power to resist in the face of such combat capability.
This was the scene of future warfare!
Inside the cave, Tony Stark frowned.
"Strange, is the Military's firepower this fierce?"
...
