"Brother, look! That robot's hand flew off!"

"Brother, look at that guy, he's got no legs but he's still crawling forward, all groaning and struggling!"

"Hey? Why is it charging at us? No, no, no, it's going to hit the railing!"

The competition was only halfway through when Zhu Jingjing was already laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

Since many of the participants are amateur enthusiasts, the skill levels of the robots vary greatly. Regardless of speed, being able to steadily complete the entire course is considered an excellent result.

"Brother, is our 'Daming No. 1' alright?" With her robot's turn about to go on stage, she glanced nervously at Daming No. 1. "What if it suddenly loses an arm or a leg halfway through?"

Jiang Chuan gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Jingjing, don't worry about that. I can't guarantee whether we can win the championship, but 'Daming No. 1' will definitely finish the race, otherwise the research institute should be disbanded."

As they were talking, it was finally their turn to go on stage.

"Jingjing, just wait and see what happens." When Jiang Chuan took over the robot at the research institute, he had already done a rough inspection. "Daming No. 1" was indeed of excellent quality. "Even if it doesn't win the championship, it will definitely make a good impression."

"Daming No. 1" stepped onto the starting line, and the referee immediately began the official timekeeping.

Unlike the previous robots, "Daming No. 1" demonstrated astonishing strength as soon as it started running.

Unlike others that stand tall and sway, it keeps its center of gravity low and its gait steady, thereby maintaining better balance.

"Wow, 'Da Ming No. 1' is so fast!" The little princess tried her best to catch up from the sidelines, but was starting to fall behind. "Brother, I can't catch up!"

"Jingjing, hold on tight!" Jiang Chuan said.

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Jingjing suddenly felt herself being lifted into the air.

"Brother, aren't you tired from carrying me while we run?" Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Chuan's neck.

"No problem! It's called a robot marathon, but it's really just a few hundred meters." Jiang Chuan steadily carried the little princess, his steps keeping pace with "Da Ming No. 1." "With your current weight, I can still manage, but if you, my little glutton, get a little more greedy, then I really won't be able to carry you anymore!"

The Great Ming Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

"Truly worthy of being called 'Great Ming Number One'!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were fixed on the rapidly moving robot, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. "Jing'er really has a good name! In this way, my Great Ming can also gain glory."

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma covered her mouth and chuckled, "Chongba, why are you also so excited? Your current state is exactly the same as Jing'er's."

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly composed himself and adopted an imperial demeanor: "Madam, please refrain from making fun of me."

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Little Sizi pointed at the sky, jumping for joy, and exclaimed repeatedly, "Father, Sister Zhu and the others' 'Great Ming Number One' is amazing!"

Li Shimin gently stroked her little head and said with a smile, "Sizi, in the future you should study diligently under Chunfeng's guidance and strive to build your own 'Tang Dynasty No. 1' as soon as possible, to bring glory to your father!"

The little rhinoceros nodded earnestly and said solemnly, "Father, rest assured, I will not fail in my mission!"

modern.

The match has come to a close.

The little princess's "Daming No. 1" was far ahead of the competition and won the championship with an absolute advantage!

"Brother, 'Da Ming No. 1' is amazing!" After the competition, Zhu Jingjing hugged the robot tightly, as if it would be snatched away at any moment. "Brother, can we take it home?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

This robot is ultimately an asset of the research institute, and even if he wanted to pay for it, the other party might not be willing to part with it.

"Jingjing, it's not a toy, you can't take it home to play with." He gently stroked the little princess's head, his tone tender. "How about this, I'll buy you some more cotton candy, and we'll send 'Daming No. 1' back, okay?"

Zhu Jingjing immediately pouted, her face full of reluctance: "Brother, I've already named it! Jingjing just wants it, I'll trade all my cotton candy for it!"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but smile wryly. He knew all too well how obsessed the little princess was with cotton candy, and now she was willing to give up everything to exchange for it, which showed just how much she loved this robot.

"Jingjing, how about this? I'll go talk to the research institute. If they're willing to sell, I'll buy it." Jiang Chuan said indulgently. "Of course, if they don't want to sell, there's nothing I can do. And then, you can't make a fuss anymore, okay?"

Zhu Jingjing nodded quickly, promising earnestly, "Brother, I'll do whatever you say! If they don't sell, Jingjing promises not to say a word!"

Jiang Chuan said, "Wait here for me, I'm going to make a phone call."

Zhu Jingjing nodded obediently, her arms still tightly wrapped around "Da Ming No. 1," as if she were saying a final goodbye to a close friend.

A few minutes later, Jiang Chuan hung up the phone, returned to her side, his face solemn, and remained silent.

"Brother, how is it?" Zhu Jingjing asked anxiously, looking up with a hint of unease in her voice.

Jiang Chuan feigned seriousness and slowly shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Jingjing's pretty face instantly crumpled up, and her almond-shaped eyes became misty and wet, as if tears would well up at the slightest touch.

"Brother, really!" Zhu Jingjing's voice suddenly rose, and she finally released "Da Ming No. 1," then threw herself into his arms. "Thank you, brother! From now on, 'Da Ming No. 1' is my little pet!"

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but smile wryly; this little princess actually treated a robot like a pet!

"Jingjing, we can't take the robot on a plane. I'll find a courier to send it home first. It should arrive around the same time we get home."

Zhu Jingjing glanced at "Da Ming No. 1," shook her head, and bit her lip lightly. "Brother, since we're not going home until tomorrow anyway, let's bring it back to the hotel tonight and let it keep me company for the night!"

"Okay, but you'll have to get up early tomorrow. We need to mail it before we catch our flight!"

The two returned to the hotel with the robot. The little princess got a new toy and stopped asking to go out to play. She played with "Da Ming No. 1" until late at night.

Seeing that her had taken over his bed again, Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly. Anyway, it was the last night, so he might as well let her have her way.

"Father, look how amazing my 'Great Ming Number One' is!" Zhu Jingjing murmured in his sleep.

Jiang Chuan walked to the bedside and tucked her in. "This girl, I wonder what she's dreaming about!"

He walked back to the sofa and, just like last night, curled up on it to get through the night.

The next morning, while Jiang Chuan was still dreaming, he felt his body being shaken violently.

"Brother, wake up!" The little princess's anxious voice rang out, "'Da Ming No. 1' is gone!"
