Two hours later, in the southern outskirts of Tianfu City, at the simulated testing ground.
The first live test did not immediately involve a human tester. Instead, they fitted the P.F.D.A. onto a dummy made of special materials and operated the P.F.D.A. remotely.
Following the blueprints, Sun Hang used Tai Sui Hyphae to produce the first batch of joint components that met the P.F.D.A.'s requirements. Thanks to the "wish fulfillment" ability, the pass rate for the components directly reached one hundred percent, leaving the engineers responsible for measuring component tolerances staring wide-eyed.
"They're all qualified! Hurry! Start assembly immediately!"
"Not a single defective part? How is that possible? Did you measure them wrong?"
"If it's right, it's right! Why the hell are you talking so much nonsense? Don't waste time! Move!" While several engineers were still arguing, Song Yarong was already shouting curses from the other side.
She had taken off the bulky protective suit and changed into a tight combat uniform, then wrapped herself in a long down coat. A pair of half-coverage goggles covered her face, while the prosthetic eye in her socket spun constantly, scanning the P.F.D.A. "Prototype Unit One" fixed to the launch rack.
It was midday in the height of summer, yet the temperature in Tianfu City's southern outskirts was only minus seventeen degrees Celsius. Heavy snow drifted down from the sky, the soil had frozen as hard as steel, and the biting wind made the flags planted nearby snap loudly.
Everyone present was wearing thick cold-weather clothing, except Sun Hang.
