General Peter Coster stepped off the subway, wiped the sweat from his black face, and squeezed into a carriage with many workers and masters who were returning home from get off work on the protective wall. It was obviously not a pleasant experience.
"Raleigh, have you lived like this for the past five years? It really doesn't smell good."
The general asked the former driver behind him. Raleigh Beckett and his brother used to be the drivers of the 'Dangerous Wanderer', but in the battle with the Kaiju beast five years ago, his brother was killed.
, Raleigh disappeared after being rescued.
A few days ago, the general discovered this former ace driver at a high-walled construction site. He used various means to finally persuade Raleigh to return to the army.
But the former pilot has not decided to really return to the team. He just wants to return to the base... and take a look.
"The Skua project has been stopped, and now people are more willing to build the wall, hehe, Australia's proposal." The man named Raleigh had some unshaven beard, looked like a homeless man, and his mental state was a little depressed: "I don't even know that.
We don’t know when the wall will be repaired, when it will collapse, or when the monster will kill us, so why do we care about how we live?"
Mechas need to be driven by multiple people in order to share the burden of the brain control system on human nerves. Because they have to be shared, the mental power between pilots of the same machine also has a synchronization rate.
The higher the synchronization rate, the better the performance of the mecha can be exerted. On the contrary, it will not even be able to start the machine.
Generally speaking, the synchronization rate of twins will be higher, but there are also driver combinations such as friends or couples.
Five years ago, his brother died on the control seat next to him, and Raleigh could only watch helplessly.
This was a huge blow to him. The neurofeedback of the damaged body and the grief connected to his mind made him feel like he had died once.
People who have never flown a mecha will not understand that feeling.
Therefore, his words full of negative energy made the general's daughter look down on him. Mazi snorted and turned away from looking at him, as if the homeless sleeping in the subway were more attractive.
In her opinion, if you have the ability to drive mechas, you should contribute to mankind. She whispered:
"When I pass the driver's test and find a partner, I will definitely be better than you, coward."
"That's enough, Mazi, don't say any more. You have never flown a mecha. You don't know how much physical and mental burden Raleigh endured when he drove the mecha back alone." The black general stopped his adopted daughter's words and gave her a serious look.
Because he is also a driver.
The general has also piloted a mecha solo, and he knows very well the feeling of feeling as if the whole world is weighing on his head and heart.
That dangerous driving caused serious sequelae to him, and his brain developed cancer due to the stimulation. Recently, he always suffered from dizziness and nosebleeds. He had secretly sought medical treatment and found out that he was not going to die soon.
But before that, he must find a way to eliminate the Kaiju beasts, save the earth, and at least leave hope for the future of mankind.
The high wall plan really didn't work. It was hard for him to understand what the people above were thinking. It might be okay to build a wall to protect against floods and typhoons, and it might be okay to defend against coyotes and wild boars on the farm, but against Kaiju? They would
Blocked by a wall?
Not to mention whether the expensive wall is strong enough and able to cope with monster attacks, just the fact that Kaijumon is intelligent is difficult to deal with.
They seem to be constantly evolving. The earliest Kaiju beasts that appeared were level one, not much stronger than the large Tyrannosaurus rex. They could even be destroyed by fighter jets and tanks, but the corrosive and poisonous blood after death was a bit difficult to deal with.
But as time goes by, they become stronger and stronger. Recently, level four Kaiju beasts have appeared. They can withstand most human weapon attacks, learn to target the weaknesses of mechas, and even use tactics.
This is definitely not an enemy that can be solved by building a wall.
The advice put forward by the Australians is more like an ostrich mentality, a way to bury your head in the soil and escape reality.
Originally, he was still worried in the base today, thinking about everyone's future, but unexpectedly received an email. The sender claimed that there was a brand new mecha for sale, and even a product catalog and quotation list.
There are currently four mechas left in the Xiangjiang base, or in other words, these are the only four left in the world.
If we can have one more mecha, even an antique second-generation mecha, we can use it to protect the people and increase our winning rate.
But no information about the sender could be found. Apart from a warehouse address, there were no other clues. It was so clean that it was as if the other party appeared out of nowhere. Even the so-called Wilson Enterprises seemed to have no trace at all.
does not exist.
But he was seriously ill, and in order to give people more hope before his death, after much thought, the general decided to go to the other party's store to have a look.
The reason for choosing to change into casual clothes and take the subway was to take advantage of the dense crowds and get rid of people who might be spying on them.
The interior of the Xiangjiang Dome is not monolithic. There are also wall-builders in the team. They may be spies sent by the people above. Therefore, it is best to avoid them when going to the black market to buy mechas.
Now I am the only one who still insists on building mechas. Many people want to see themselves in bad luck to prove that building the wall is right.
This is a tragedy for human beings. While insisting on one's own position, one must completely defeat dissenters.
In fact, if you think about it, wouldn't it be safer to build the mecha and build the wall at the same time?
But it is a pity that productivity and resources cannot keep up. Mechas are like doomsday weapons used to gamble on the fate of the country, and it is unrealistic to mass-produce them.
Therefore, when the general sees someone claiming to be able to sell mechas, he is mostly happy. It doesn't matter even if the other party is an expert among the people, or simply a society or gang.
Taking out mechas to protect humans is a good thing.
I don’t know about the price, I’m afraid it will be very expensive....
"General, do you think it will really be a brand new mecha?" Raleigh did not have any mood swings because of Mazi's contempt. He seemed not to want to pay attention to her at all. He just focused on talking to the black general: "Could it be something?
People went to the mecha cemetery in Oakland and dug out those old mechas and renovated them, right?"
"No, I've seen photos of their products. It's obvious that even the design ideas are different." The black man shook his head. He pressed his nose and raised his head slightly: "Besides, the current situation, even if the defense organization's products are stolen,
I accept that the airframe will be repaired, but we don’t have the resources to repair it ourselves."
At this point, both of them were silent. Under the protection of the guards, they walked out of the bustling subway station and blended into the crowd.
