Chapter 1752 Broken Dome
If it was a betrothal gift, the price paid to push the young Yukino to the position of liaison officer of this team that was obviously going to be reused was not small, and it was no longer gold-plated. , a solid gold resume.
But the question is which family is marrying for a strong woman? Not all of them are interested in the family behind them.
So there is a high probability that the Furuya family refuses or asks for a higher bargaining chip and arranges Yukino to be the liaison officer. If you want to marry, the price you pay must be higher than this. The main thing is a Mantian Pay back the asking price on the spot.
It’s true.
Everything is a benefit!
Qianye Cheng sighed in his heart, seeing the big from the small. No matter when, as long as human beings are not extinct, profit should come first.
Just like the Ford Team was reorganized into a special affairs unit, the reason is to prepare for emergencies. Once the budget plan for the Earth Defense Force's next-generation mecha construction plan collapses, the next step is to It's snowing before sweeping the door.
There is a high probability that the Earth Defense Force will continue to be a brand, but in reality, each will manage its own affairs.
If you continue to maintain the global coordination of the Earth Defense Force, it will be equivalent to eating from a big pot. No matter how much food you take out, you will only eat two bowls of rice in one meal, and the rest will be eaten by others. But if you are self-reliant, and you have a house full of food, you will be able to harvest a lot of servants who do not want to starve to death but can only sell themselves to you.
To put it bluntly, capable countries build their own mecha troops to protect their homeland security, while incompetent countries can only hold on to them if they don’t want to wait for death.
Every little plan is being made with a bang.
It really knows how to reverse history. The TPC is planning to immigrate to Mars, but it is still falling apart here.
The pressure from the monsters is not enough.
If it were an arcane monster, even the Global Alliance could not defeat it. Their destruction was imminent, so how could they have so many little thoughts?
In today's world, although monsters appear frequently, they are not really strong. Chiba Makoto can kill them instantly with Cyber Gomora. If he turns into Tiga, even ten monsters at once will not be enough to kill him.
So even Neon, which has been attacked the most by monsters and suffered the most damage, is still capable of building its own mecha unit. If the country is not so narrow, building one mecha would be enough for this small area, but Even if the north-south span is so long, with the Hercules transport aircraft, three mechas are enough to be used interchangeably.
Of course, this is without serious damage. Considering that the strength of monsters has increased rapidly in recent years, every time the mecha hunters of the Earth Defense Force go into battle, they will be more or less damaged, and many of them will be lost. If it is worth repairing and can only be scrapped, it is estimated that two more mechas will be needed as backup.
Five mechas! ! !
This suddenly brightened the eyes of the young men in the Ford team who had not yet lost their drive in life. Many of them had participated in the selection of the Mecha Hunter Academy, but they were all eliminated.
I thought I had no chance, not to mention that my life would be wasted, and I would never be able to become a mighty and domineering mecha pilot. I never expected that there would be another bright future, and five mechas would come to me at once.
This.
What a gift from heaven!
People immediately have no objections to the reform of Ford Team, but are quite looking forward to completing it as soon as possible, so that the mechas that are still on the PPT can become a reality as soon as possible, so that they can become mechas earlier. driver.
Although when the time comes to select drivers, they will definitely be more than just them, but there is hope after all. What's more, if you become a direct subordinate, your level will be improved and your treatment will definitely be better than now.
All in all, everyone is very satisfied with this restructuring. After all, it only adds a brand name. There are basically no other changes, but they can get promotions and salary increases. Everyone is willing to change it.
When everyone is satisfied, the relevant procedures will go very smoothly.
All the handover work was completed in just one week. Next to the gate of the Ford team's base, a sign saying "Special Affairs Processing Unit" was hung. The uniforms were not changed, but "Special Affairs Processing" was added. Troop armband.
A new ID card was also issued. It was no different from the original one, except that the words "Special Affairs Processing Force" were added on the back, and the front still said "Fort Force", along with a photo and name.
In general, I basically can’t notice any big changes. After all, it’s not time to pay wages yet.
Obviously, the higher-ups don't want to make any major changes at this time, which will cause people to panic and cause any changes to this very combat-effective team.
While everyone is eagerly discussing restructuring, new teams, and new mechas, 'New Tai' stays in the house every day, browsing relevant information about the world, especially about earth defense. I have read all the news and internal information related to the army and mecha hunters, and have a general understanding of them.
The idea of Mecha Hunter was proposed by a scientist specializing in mechanical engineering at a global conference. At that time, coastal cities were attacked many times, global trade plummeted, and the economies of various countries plummeted. Monster disasters have seriously threatened the safety of human life and property and hindered the rapid development of mankind.
When conventional weapons are ineffective and thermonuclear weapons are highly polluted, it is a very good idea to build large robots to deal with monsters, lure them away from the city, or even kill them.
But to realize this idea, it is very difficult. Not only are there many technical problems that need to be solved, but the entire industry chain such as manufacturing, R&D and testing must also be adjusted accordingly. In the face of global trade, Against this background, this is by no means a huge project that can be completed by one country.
For the sake of the overall situation, countries have temporarily put aside their differences and hatred, and joined hands to move forward together. The Earth Defense Force, a world coalition, came into being to share science and technology, coordinate resources, and start construction around the world as quickly as possible. Related supporting factories, and testing is also in full swing.
Unmanned control is too difficult and unreliable, so humans must be used to control it. Such a huge mecha cannot be perfectly controlled by keyboards and handles, so it is difficult to combine the mecha with humans. The genius idea of connecting the mecha's neurons to make the mecha a 'human body', directly controlled by the brain, was proposed.
Such a whimsical idea not only gained approval, but also overcame a series of problems and quickly launched relevant tests. Then it was discovered that one person’s brain simply cannot bear such a huge giant. The burden is really too much. Too heavy.
After several testers developed brain problems and even died of internal bleeding, one person had to stop testing and instead had two people work together to share the burden, and this required the two people's brains to be synchronized, that is,' "Synaesthesia", so "Synaesthesia" has become the primary factor restricting mecha pilots. No matter how good you are in other aspects, as long as you can't pass "synaesthesia", you will not be able to become a mecha pilot. After the driving problem was solved, the test machine was quickly finalized and related tests were carried out. During the test, the first battle was held and a crocodile-like monster was defeated that climbed ashore.
This made the world excited and rejoiced, thinking that they had found a way to deal with the monsters. As a result, the mass production of giant mechas advanced very quickly. The first batch of first-generation mechas quickly came off the production line and were distributed to factories all over the world. Each branch of the Earth Defense Force is used to protect the security of coastal cities and island countries.
In order to serve these giant mechas, the Earth Defense Force has built a series of logistics bases next to some economically developed cities for daily maintenance and repair of mechas, as well as for parking the Hercules used to transport mechas. Transporters, and these bases are called Shattered Domes!
"Broken Dome." Qianye Cheng whispered. The name sounded a bit like man conquering the sky. When the sky is broken, people block it, just like a monster appears and a mecha hunter goes to deal with it.
However, the distribution of the Broken Dome is not even, and the size of the bases also varies. Naturally, the number of mecha hunters equipped is also different. Originally, this was due to different regions and different threats, but However, it has laid the consequences for the future. As it develops, it has become the main factor leading to the disintegration of the Earth Defense Force.
In the past two years, some places where monsters have never appeared in the past are now found to have monsters. They may land one day. However, the Earth Defense Force has not seen monsters in this area before and believes that it has suffered The possibility of monster damage is very small, so naturally no mecha hunter base has been set up here, and no defense issues have been considered.
Therefore, it is far away from Broken Sky. Even if it is to send mecha hunters from the nearest base, it will take a long time, and such a long time is enough for the monster to circle around the city twice.
This naturally makes people have objections. I paid so much money, but in the end not much was invested in me. My neighbor didn’t contribute much money, but he invested it all in his place. No one would be willing to change it. ah.
The Earth Defense Force does not mean to just ignore it. It has also proposed to readjust the defense area of Broken Sky and add Broken Sky to improve the defense of coastal cities.
But the problem is that these all cost money, not a small amount, but an astronomical sum.
This makes people more and more dissatisfied, and they become even more unhappy once the accounts are settled.
The protection of the entire community requires twenty knives, but I only need one to protect myself. Why do I have to pay for three knives?
Speaking of which, it is still a matter of money.
The monster disaster has not been solved for a long time, resulting in no hope for global economic recovery, which has led to a continued decline in people's living standards. Income is getting smaller and smaller, but expenditures continue to increase, which makes everyone unwilling Stop worrying about other people's 'eating'.
"It seems that this world is more affected by monster disasters." Chiba Makoto thought thoughtfully. Although the monsters in this world are not as powerful as the monsters in the arcane universe, they The impact on humans is even greater.
Because the monsters in this universe can only be dealt with by mecha hunters after landing, at least when they reach offshore.
Otherwise, in the deep sea, the mecha hunter would not be able to swim, and coupled with the huge pressure, it would simply be death.
The deep sea has become the territory of monsters, who act recklessly and madly attack passing merchant ships, making ocean transportation an extremely dangerous thing. Going to sea, which was supposed to make a lot of money, has become a life-threatening job. , the mortality rate of the crew was higher than that in the Age of Discovery, which was shocking. It was unknown how many people came ashore.
However, the transportation of goods is not smooth, and the economy has naturally become a stagnant water.
Although countries are vigorously developing air transportation, the transportation cost of air transportation is much higher than that of sea transportation, and the transportation volume of aircraft cannot be compared with that of sea transportation. This has caused many countries that rely on trade to rapidly decline. , not to mention the dire straits They are struggling, and there is no money left to build mechas for the Earth Defense Force. However, such a trading country is still on the seaside or in the sea and needs to set up Shattered Sky. This is equivalent to not paying much but enjoying the best service. How can people achieve psychological balance?
In addition, the budget of the Earth Defense Force this time is too huge. The combination of various factors has led to several big countries to have small thoughts, thinking that since the global game of chess is dead, there is no chance of survival. If there is hope, then stop playing around and vigorously develop the regional economy, and the regional economy naturally needs to have a leader, so we must deal with security issues.
"It's really smart. It's a pity. The biggest problem of mankind is that there are too many smart people." Qianye Cheng shook his head and sighed, not optimistic about such an idea.
The evolution of monsters is accelerating, and countries are sharing technology, but they are unable to catch up. If they are further dispersed and continue to engage in repeated research, there will really be only a dead end.
This is like a racing track. Although someone has already chased it, the people on the boat are not rowing together, but they still have to separate. Isn't this slower?
As expected, you are a carnivore, and you cannot plan far!
This is probably the biggest flaw of ballot box politics. It can only please the present and cannot consider the long term.
On the other hand, the great Eastern countries have now become the mainstay supporting the Earth Defense Force.
Not to mention anything else, just that it was originally the most powerful Pacific Division of the Earth Defense Force. Under the leadership of Bald Eagle, the number of Mecha Hunters dropped all the way to five, and there are only two mechas left. Due to the continuous battles, the armor has been basically abandoned and has almost reached the point of dismantling its parts.
Even the headquarters base of the Pacific Division has recently begun to move from Honolulu Island to Xiangjiang, and will be combined into one base in Xiangjiang to save costs and exert stronger strength.
"Beep! Beep!"
At this moment, the mobile phone on the table rang. Chiba Cheng picked it up and looked at it. It was an internal notice that the Ford team would organize The personnel went to visit the Broken Sky Base in Xiangjiang, and his name was clearly among them.
The team was led by Liaison Officer Furuya Yukino, and among the other accompanying personnel, the youngest was also the detachment leader, and he was the deputy team leader.
It was definitely Yukino who added him.
Is it considered a soft meal?
Uh.
It feels pretty good.
"Yeah!" Chiba Cheng nodded, feeling that Arata must think so too. After all, being able to go to Shattered Sky and get close contact with mecha hunters must have fulfilled one of his dreams, so how could he mind how he went there? Woolen cloth?
Don’t use it if it’s relevant, it’s so bad if it expires and becomes invalid!
Not to mention he is not an outsider! ! !
