Chapter 233: Enhanced Robot Soldiers (Third Update)
Actually, if Has never noticed anything, that would be fine too, because it would mean that he had always been safe and didn't need Steel Cannon to step in.
"Unit One, come over here and check Steel Cannon's systems!"
After testing Steel Cannon's performance, Jerry waved over Unit One, who was practicing combat drills with Guan Yu's long-handled saber.
Compared to a year ago, Unit One had undergone some new changes.
On top of the existing features, Jerry used alchemy to add several new internal functions, such as the invisibility function and the Iron Armor Spell's magical defense function.
Jerry also created a small spatial pocket in Unit One's chest, using the Seamless Expansion Spell to expand it, allowing it to store spare ammunition and serve as a temporary safe house for ordinary humans in emergencies.
The external changes were less significant, mainly involving the replacement of the single-handed greatsword with a two-handed long-handled saber similar to Guan Yu's.
In Jerry's view, fighting unarmed was definitely less effective than using a weapon.
Imagine a scenario where the robot soldiers and enemies are engaged in close combat after exhausting all their bullets and rockets. Attacking with fists is far less damaging than wielding a long-handled saber with an electrified edge.
Additionally, the long-handled saber has a longer reach than a fist.
Therefore, to handle various situations, Jerry equipped each of the twelve robot soldiers with a different close-combat weapon: long-handled sabers, halberds, dual swords, dual hooks, greatswords, battle axes, and morning stars.
Every day, Jerry would show the robot soldiers instructional videos or kung fu movies featuring ancient weapons, allowing them to learn and practice with each other.
To be honest, most of the alchemy techniques Jerry learned over the past year were applied to these twelve robot soldiers. Each one could stand on its own.
However, since their intelligence was awakened by the Enlightenment Spell, without Jerry's commands, their ability to make independent judgments in certain situations was still limited.
Moreover, to prevent energy issues, Jerry inscribed numerous magic arrays inside the robots to absorb magic power, allowing them to recharge autonomously.
Thus, these twelve robot soldiers were now capable of using both magic and electricity.
Unit One approached Steel Cannon, sheathed the long-handled saber on the back, and placed both hands on the car's body.
A stream of information flashed in the electronic eyes:
"Master, there are no surveillance devices inside Steel Cannon!"
Unit One reported, retracting his hands.
"Very good, go back and continue your training!"
Jerry waved Unit One back to continue practicing combat skills.
"Tony is indeed reliable after all!"
After a year, the intelligence of the twelve robot soldiers had improved significantly. They could now fully control their bodies.
Therefore, the surveillance devices left by S.H.I.E.L.D. had long been removed by the robot soldiers themselves.
Having Unit One check Steel Cannon's systems was to ensure that Tony hadn't installed any monitoring or tracking devices inside Steel Cannon.
After all, he has always acted like someone who isn't very knowledgeable about technology.
However, from what it looks like now, although Tony can be quite sharp-tongued, his character is still more reliable than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s.
Leaving the Box Space, Jerry used a Phantom Shift to arrive at the neighborhood garage. After using a Freezing Charm to temporarily disable the security cameras, he quickly swapped the Police Car with Steel Cannon.
Having ridden in Has's Police Car for so long, Jerry was very familiar with all the car's features and details. Therefore, after transferring everything inside to Steel Cannon, there was no noticeable difference.
After removing the Freezing Charm and using another Phantom Shift to return to the room, he swapped the identical car keys he had made.
"Done, all set!"
With his family's safety now secured, he wouldn't have to be so cautious in the future.
If his identity were ever exposed and someone tried to threaten him by targeting his family, they would be in for a big surprise.
Over a month later.
On the way to Jerry's school, Has was chatting with Jerry, who was sitting in the passenger seat:
"I don't know why, but lately my Police Car has been handling better and better. I was thinking about applying for a new one, but now I feel that the old car is more comfortable to drive!
The last time I chased a fugitive, he was driving a Mercedes, but he couldn't outrun me. His driving skills are clearly not up to par!"
"Of course, Dad, you're a seasoned driver. The connection between you and the car is something that ordinary people can't match!"
On the surface, Jerry was lavishing Has with praise, but inwardly, he was smirking:
"It's bound to handle better. With the dual electric and magic power, it's not just a Mercedes; even a supercar can't keep up with Steel Cannon when it's running at full speed!"
Has thought that catching the fugitive was mainly due to his driving skills, not realizing that if he had been driving the old Police Car, he would have been left in the dust long ago.
"Ha ha ha, that's right. When I was young, I was known as the 'Queens Car God' in the police department. I caught countless midnight street racers.
There was a street racing gang leader named Dominic Toledo who was extremely arrogant back then. I sent him to prison for two years!"
Listening to his son's praise, Has felt a surge of pride.
The older a person gets, the more they tend to reminisce about their past glories, especially since Jerry's exceptional performance usually left Has with few opportunities to boast.
"Dad, we're at the school. You just need to go in and sign a few papers. The principal, Mr. Brian, has already agreed to let me skip a grade and enter Midtown High School next year!"
Jerry pointed to the school ahead, interrupting Has's nostalgic reverie.
"Oh, okay. But Jerry, are you really sure about skipping directly to high school? Isn't it a bit too soon? You've only been in junior high for a year!"
Has parked the Police Car in a nearby parking area and looked at Jerry with some concern.
"Although you've grown taller quickly, you're still only twelve years old!"
In the nearly two months since returning, Jerry had gradually adjusted his height to a normal level. Now, Jerry was almost as tall as Has.
"Don't worry, I've already learned all the junior high school material, and I've passed all the required tests for skipping a grade. The principal and all the teachers have signed off on it!"
"Alright, I just didn't expect you to be going to high school so soon!"
For Has, it was indeed a bit too fast that his son, who had just graduated from elementary school last year, was now about to enter high school.
"Sigh, if Aisha were even a fraction as smart as you, it would be great. According to Belle, she didn't pass her math final exam this year."
