In the following time, the robot made more demonstration movements, such as walking 13 steps in the bird's nest. This number is definitely correct, because all the spectators carefully counted it.
After all, it takes about a minute for Pangu Homeland to take a step, requiring various adjustments to balance its center of gravity, so the audience has ample time to count the steps.
As for why it only took 13 steps in total, it was mainly because the bird's nest was too small. Pangu Homeland was only three steps away from the audience seats, so it could not continue forward and had to turn around and walk back.
Well, this involves a turning action. For a normal human, this might be a movement of a few tenths of a second, but for this huge robot, it took a full 3 minutes to complete a turn, as more time was needed to adjust balance.
In addition to basic walking movements, Pangu Homeland also displayed complex movements such as squatting, shooting, boxing, straight kicks, and side kicks. It was evident that these movements were somewhat strenuous for Pangu Homeland. Several times, the robot swayed and nearly fell into the bird's nest, but it managed to complete the demonstration without any major incident.
It is worth mentioning that many model enthusiasts later excitedly expressed their hope that Pangu Homeland would demonstrate its weapon system, as it is unscientific for a robot to not have a weapon system!
Moreover, in the animation earlier, Pangu Homeland did display some weapons in addition to close combat, such as the dagger mounted on its legs, two particle cannons extended from its back, and the audience clearly saw a large cannon-like weapon mounted on its back. However, these weapons were completely absent from the Pangu Homeland in front of them, which greatly disappointed many viewers.
However, some sensible viewers stated that they completely understood the absence of a weapon system, as if this mecha dared to take out a large weapon in the imperial capital, the entire Daban company would probably sing "Iron Window Tears" together.
So, in the end, no weapons appeared, but the giant mecha that could move already excited countless model enthusiasts at the scene to an unprecedented degree. Many people even knelt on the ground, unable to stand up, as it was a living, moving giant mecha.
Of course, many people at the scene were curious about who the pilot of this mecha was, as anyone could tell that piloting this mecha was extremely difficult and required very high piloting skills.
Moreover, this was also an extremely dangerous act. If the mecha lost its balance and fell, it would be almost the same as a tower crane falling from a height of dozens of meters. Therefore, the cockpit should have complete protection measures, but the pilot inside would still face a nine-death chance. The pilot of this Pangu Homeland was definitely a daredevil.
Of course, besides this, they also felt a bit of jealousy, as piloting a mecha was an irresistible dream for all men!
They were also very interested in the location of the cockpit. According to the Gundam setting, the pilot was usually located in the chest of the Gundam, but this Pangu Homeland was likely not in the chest.
After all, according to the animation and model display, the entire chest area was actually a living space for people. It was impossible for the pilot to be here, and it was unlikely to be in the limbs. Could the pilot be in the head of the Pangu Gundam?
Just as everyone was speculating, the voice of the Daban president sounded again, "Thank you to our pilot for the wonderful demonstration. The demonstration segment for Pangu Homeland at this press conference has officially ended."
"In the next three months, we will open Pangu Homeland for public display and tours. There will also be two demonstration sessions of Pangu Homeland daily. You are all welcome to visit!"
"Holy cow!" Everyone licked their lips. They had just worried that after the press conference, they would never have the chance to see such a shocking scene again in their lives. To their surprise, they would have the opportunity to see it every day for the next three months, which was fantastic!
"Mr. President, can we please have the pilot come down and meet us? I really want to shake his hand. He's my idol!!" a voice suddenly said from the crowd. The others around immediately echoed, as they were indeed very interested in this pilot.
Moreover, they were also very interested in the deployment of the cockpit, especially wanting to see exactly where the cockpit was located.
"This..." Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary request made the president look troubled. After hesitating for a moment, he took out his terminal and whispered, "Sir, the guests would like to meet you and shake your hand. Is that okay?"
"Strange, why is this president so polite to this pilot, as if he were the boss!" Huang Mao muttered, then heard a very crisp reply from the terminal, "Okay!"
Then, the Pangu Homeland, which was originally standing still, suddenly moved forward with a jolt, and then another step. To everyone's terrified eyes, Pangu Homeland was less than 20 meters away from the viewing platform.
Then, Pangu Homeland's right hand suddenly moved to its crotch. A mechanical rotating sound was heard, and three layers of metal doors opened successively in front and back of the crotch, finally revealing the cockpit located in the crotch and the pilot wearing a helmet inside the cockpit.
The cockpit looked very simple, without the expected numerous devices and buttons. It was entirely a silver sphere, and the pilot sat in the pilot's seat in the center of the sphere... There was only one seat, and no control computers or operating panels, etc.
Then, the pilot's seat slowly moved forward, finally extending out of the crotch. The seatbelt of the pilot's seat automatically unlocked, and the pilot stood up with a neat movement, stood on the chair, and then jumped lightly forward, directly onto the unfolded palm of Pangu Homeland.
Well, although it was just a palm, the unfolded area of this palm was nearly ten square meters, and the five fingers were raised in five directions, so there was basically no risk of falling.
However, the Daban president was clearly terrified when he saw the pilot jump down, his face turning pale.
Fortunately, this pilot stood cleanly on the palm, and at the same time grabbed a raised thumb... There were two iron handles on this thumb, so as long as he held on firmly, it was quite safe.
Then Pangu Homeland slowly extended its right hand, placing the entire palm at the same level as the platform. The pilot jumped again, completely standing on the viewing platform and appearing before all the audience.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap!" At this moment, countless flashbulbs flashed. Besides the reporters and live broadcast equipment, there were more terminals in the hands of the model enthusiasts, taking pictures of this pilot.
"Handsome guy, can you take off your helmet?" someone asked excitedly. Then the pilot nodded, neatly took off his helmet, vigorously ran his fingers through his hair, which had been pressed by the helmet for a long time, and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Holy crap!" Huang Mao, who was taking pictures, accidentally dropped his expensive Hasselblad camera on the ground.
"Snap, snap, snap!" A dozen sounds of objects falling to the ground were heard at the scene, indicating that these people had accidentally dropped their photographic equipment.
It couldn't be helped, who told the smiling guy in front of them to be the biggest news in the world!
————————————
December 12, 2014, in the era before Double 12, nothing special happened on this day. It was just a very ordinary day. Most people in the world, after finishing a day of hard work, just wanted to lie on the sofa and browse their terminals to see what ordinary stories happened on this ordinary day.
Then they saw the following headlines that made them full of question marks.
"Mecha Born! Chinese Mecha Stands Tall on the Earth!"
"What the heck? Is this another promotion for an animation or movie?" Most people chose to ignore this news headline and moved on to the next one, then they saw "A 52.8-meter behemoth, a mecha that can move, movie becomes reality!"
"What?" Some people started to become curious and wanted to click on this news, of course, some people still thought it was boring, maybe it was just some promotional video, and they continued to watch the next news.
"Shocking, the sci-fi era has arrived, China's Pangu Homeland Mecha has descended, ushering in the super mecha era!"
Okay, at this time, most people could no longer resist clicking on the news, but there were still some people who chose to slide the screen. Then they continued to see "World's Richest Man Huang He's Super Adventure, Piloting a 60-meter-tall Giant Mecha, Shocks the World in the World's Number One Olympic Main Stadium!"
Then a photo of Huang He wearing a tight pilot suit, with a giant mecha behind him, exuding immense pressure.
"World's Richest Man Huang He?" Seeing this name, no one dared to ignore this headline. Even those who didn't believe in mechas couldn't help but click on this headline, and then they saw the photo of Huang He with the mecha, as well as more news content, and a clipped video.
After they finished reading the entire news, most of them were extremely excited and simultaneously asked themselves a question.
That is, is it 2014 or 2094 this year?
"Really knows how to play..." Even Professor Parkinson himself couldn't help but sigh when he saw this news.
