Chapter 11 - Combat Robots In Action

Time really waits for none.

Soon, the first delivery of combat robots was made to the US military. The 100 sets that consisted of a thousand robots were transported to the Fort Drum Military base at Jefferson.

(The fort drum military is located in jefferson, New York.)

Brigadeir general Ross was very satisfied, looking at the rows and rows of robots saluting to him and his superior General Elliot cook.

General Elliot was also very impressed with this. He had indeed gotten the report about the capability of the combat robot, but the visual impact brought by a thousand robots painted with the american flag saluting to oneself was pretty breath-taking.

100 of these robots were sent to the Syrian battlefield. It was to check the actual combat effectiveness of the robot, while one set was given to the researchers to crack it's technology and try to not depend on Galaxy technology for future purchases.

If the combat robots really were proven to be that good in the battlefield, it might be a better idea for the military to control the technology.

But the thing was, there wasn't much to research. The nano meter level precision of various robot parts was one thing while the main thing, it's intelligent core, which was built by Ankit and programmed partly by Nanu was pretty impossible to crack. The intelligent core, of tried to crack with bruteforce would erase everything and be blank.

The robots that were sent to Syria landed at the Al-Tanf. Al-tanf is an US military base in Syria's Homs Governorate located 24 kilometers west of al-tanf border crossing in the Syrian desert. The base is actually located just along a critical road known as M2 Baghdad-Damascus highway.

The US military force from the Syrian land was supposed to be withdrawn after the death of ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi as Trump has once stated that the US has little to do with Syria and they were in Syria only for the demise and degradation of ISIL.

But USA had still to get out of Syria and were still fighting against some ISIL troops left while supporting the rebels that wanted to overthrow Syrian government. But the Syrian government also had support from Russia.

Profit. It was as simple as that. The war, the pain and suffering of the Syrian people, it was all for profit. To be honest, every war is indeed just a matter of interest. We just don't see it or maybe choose to ignore it but the world is indeed cruel.It was still strong eat weak. Because, as they say the winners write the stories.

Good or bad, white or black. It is just a matter of perception. In this war, everyone is just protecting their interests or fighting for interest. At last, the one who wins will be one who will be justified. The one who wins will be the good and the loser will be the petty, dark and bad guy. As I said, the winners are the ones who write the stories. And, noone needs a second person to tell him or her how powerful USA is.

General Elliot had sent the combat robots to the Al-tanf to help rebels attack the syrian bases and take over government controlled cities under their own control.

(Guys, i dont know much about the war and shit but i read some wikepedia and news articles and conspiracy theories and stuff and there is where all this is coming from. You could say this is how i think the war is.)

In a certain city, the strrets are filled with rubbles and quite a few buildings have been demolished due to airstrikes, bombings and gun fights between opposing forces.

Soon, the 100 sets were transported to the city. They were held in truck containers guarded by soldiers. Due to the battery problem, the robots were to be turned on after reaching the city.

The containers, robots were installed in had charging and storage facility and this container was build by the US military after they had placed the order with Galaxy technology.

Soon, the containers along with the 100 soldiers guarding them. Soon, the robots were activated. Each robot in a set could be given roles in the battlefield. These robots were going to be used to clear off troops from the whole city, so in each set, the US military had set that one robot would be a sniper while nine others would be light infantry that atack.

The soldiers stayed by the post amd guarded the containers while 100 robots spread out. The 10 snipers and 90 infantry units harvested life at an amazing speed. The robots would get shot once or twice which would alert them and they would take cover.

The hard titanium alloy on their body wouldn't crack after a single shot which made them almost unkillable. Still, the rocket launchers from the other side could blast a robot into pieces.

The hit rate of such rocket launchers was low because of the agility of robots. Also, it would take a direct shot from the rpg to destroy the robot. After some time, a few robots returned due to low battery. They were ordered to come back once the battery was below 10 percent. Around 20 robots had come back till now because of low battery but soon, all the firing in the city stopped and just in over two hours or so, the city was completely taken in control.

Around five robots had been destroyed during the whole process but it was understandable.

Soon, the news of this reached the white house. Trump heard the news and tweeted, "The combat robots have proven to be excellent soldiers who will not only safeguard our nation but also save our soldier's precious lives."

"Tell them to buy more robots. I'll talk with the congress and pass the budget needed.", Trump said to his assistant.

Soon, the media around the world started getting news of the combat robots performance in the Syrian territory.

Soon, the countries that had ordered robots with Galaxy technology sent representatives to request a increase in the quota of robots.

The US military had ordered a total of 400 more sets which meant 4,000 more robots. This was just the beginning, the countries such as Dubai, UAE, Australia, etc that had their quota increased also bought more robots.

Galaxy technology was sitting atop a pile of orders worth billions of dollars. Naturally, this attracted attention of people. The consortiums couldn't wait any longer and started to act. After all, this term alone, Galaxy technology was estimated to be sitting on orders worth around $50 billion dollars. This was a private company. So, they were not pretty sure about the profit margin.

Still, 50 billion dollars was enough money to get those consortiums in the dark get excited.
