Chapter 1757 Monster Lands
Probably to cheer people up, or to prove their abilities to voters, or for other urgent reasons.
The new Prime Minister signed the mutual defense clause as quickly as possible, and promoted the repair, upgrade, and transformation of the Echo Saber to return home quickly, standing in the central square of the new capital Daban City, showing it to the people. Its majestic steel body and majestic posture, with its power and domineering power, shock everyone who sees it.
Although Mecha Hunter has been seen countless times on mobile phones, TVs, computers, etc., and many people have grown up playing with Mecha Hunter models since childhood, but no method can compare to the shocking effect of the real thing. .
At a height of nearly seventy meters, standing in the center of the big city, you feel like you stand out from the crowd, eclipsing the surrounding high-rise buildings. The cold steel has been specially painted matte, which shines in the sunlight. It was shining brightly, looking particularly majestic.
From time to time, the mecha hunter would raise his arms and wave, or clash his fists. The loud 'clang' sound was deafening. You could even feel the ground under your feet shaking, but no one present felt any concern. Angry, he raised his hands in the air and cheered, shouting excitedly.
Because they finally have their own mecha hunter again. Since the Battle of Tokyo twenty years ago, there have been tragic casualties and halved losses. Even cleaning up the ruins and settling the victims have been very difficult. Most of them rely on international aid, and there is no energy and financial resources to maintain the Broken Sky. Therefore, the Earth Defense Force had to merge the Broken Sky that was closed here into the Xiangjiang base. This was also the first Broken Sky that was closed.
This has also become a pain in the hearts of a generation, especially as the monster disasters become more and more severe. All countries are struggling, and even they can hardly care about themselves. How can they have the energy to carry forward the international spirit?
Since then, having your own mecha hunter has become the voice of many people, but shouting 10,000 times is not as good as one dollar, not to mention the disaster that almost interrupted the neon After twenty years of rest and recuperation, my spine was still unable to stand up and could only crawl along.
But as the monster disasters intensify and the international situation becomes more tense, security issues become more acute, especially the neon terrain, which is long and narrow. It is simply an isolated island in the sea, with no inland at all. , it can be said that no inch of land is safe, all is within the attack range of monsters.
Living here, there is no sense of security at all. Ordinary people can only live in panic, while wealthy people have transferred their assets and themselves to other safe places and do not dare to gamble on this dangerous island. Upper body, family and life.
If my own family is like this, let alone external capital, they will not invest even one more penny here. This is why Neon has not been able to recover for twenty years.
Based on various considerations, the new Shouxiang made a decision. If he is not strong enough, then he will help. If he does not feel safe, then he will introduce mecha hunters, build high walls and fortresses near the city, and use all possible means to enhance them. A sense of security for everyone, so that everyone can work and live with peace of mind, and at least not give up on themselves, which can also reduce the crime rate.
For this reason, although the Mecha Hunter's maintenance base has not yet been built, the Mecha Hunter was transported back first and placed in the center of the city for citizens to visit and take photos.
I have to say that this trick is indeed very useful. For seven or eight days in a row, the headlines and hot searches were all about this mecha hunter. You can call it whatever you want, but it takes so much effort. , the introduction of this mecha naturally requires positive news, and don’t even think about sending out any negative news. It just wants to gather all kinds of good things to form a foil effect to reassure people.
Judging from the current feedback, it is pretty good. Whether it is offline investigation or online supervision, they all agree with this approach and feel that it is worth it even if it costs a lot of money.
After all, relying on everyone to run, only you are the most reliable; it is better to have your father and mother than to have it yourself.
At present, it is increasingly difficult for countries to develop their own styles and start to sweep the door. In the case of snow, having a certain ability to protect yourself when hugging your thighs has become the choice of many countries.
However, most countries want to rely on high walls to resist monsters and use super turrets to deal with monsters. As for mecha hunters, something that is expensive and technologically complex, only big countries can afford it. .
Neon has its own national conditions. Not only is the country long and narrow, it is still in the middle of the ocean. It needs the help of mecha hunters, but this is a hardship for 'New Tai'.
Together with the Mecha Hunter, I have become an "Internet celebrity attraction" for checking in and taking pictures. I have to go to work on time every day, and then wave my hands and move my feet. Although I am in the cockpit and do not have to stay outside to "die", I still Quite
boring!
Originally, I was thinking of using the mecha hunter pilot that Arata coveted as a reward for temporarily borrowing Arata's body, so Arata would be very satisfied.
But I never expected that when they brought back the mecha hunter, they would actually do this.
It was so unexpected!
Anyway, before it was turned into an attraction, Chiba Cheng never expected that someone would put a mecha hunter worth billions in a square and use it as an attraction.
“When will it end!!!”
Chiba Cheng followed the request and waved his hand every once in a while. At other times, he used the cockpit display screen to browse information and became Another benefit of being a mecha pilot is that a lot of confidential information is opened up, allowing Chiba Makoto to learn more about the secrets of this world.
This is also the reason why Chiba Makoto endures until now. After all, where can I watch? I can still get overtime pay here. Just think of it as saving money for Arata to marry a wife. That’s it. After getting along for a while, it was obvious that Yukino still had a nostalgia for Arata and did not want to end the relationship.
It’s just that Arata’s boyish pride of wanting to prove himself made Arata do a lot of disappointing ‘foolish things’, which added a lot of ups and downs to the relationship between the two. .
But now, after suffering a series of setbacks, Arata should be able to 'sober up'.
Probably!
He waved his hand again, and then continued to flip through the information. Anyway, he could control only one hand. The other parts were locked and he couldn't move even if he wanted to. The reason for this was because he was the only driver. , in order to reduce the burden and avoid brain overload, we came up with the idea of controlling only one arm, supplemented by brackets and beams to maintain balance, and other systems can be turned off.
In this way, if you only need to control one arm, even if there is only one driver, you can easily become an attraction.
As for the other driver
All I can say is that they are still in training.
Dong, the base in Beijing has been closed for twenty years, which is equivalent to a gap of a generation, and it is not so easy to fill.
Therefore, many people say strange things in private, such as 'just lucky', 'relying on connections', secretly said, deliberately said loudly when you passed by, etc., Chiba Cheng has seen a lot and heard a lot, but there is no disturbance in his heart.
Only people who are incompetent will say weird things to express their jealousy. People who are capable will work hard and catch up with the other person to prove themselves.
So before the co-pilot is in place, the biggest role of this mecha hunter is to serve as an attraction.
However, the selection of the co-pilot is not expected to be fast, because the construction of the maintenance base has just begun. The completion date cannot be said to be far away, nor can it be completed in a short period of time. It is estimated that the completion of the co-pilot selection will also be the day when the maintenance base is completed.
“Alas!”
Thinking of this, Chiba Cheng sighed deeply. Before the co-pilot was in place, he was the only one who could make this money and suffer this Sinful.
Really.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
Suddenly, a map popped up on the screen on the right, with a red dot flashing on it. Chiba Cheng was startled. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this was a monster alarm. A monster has appeared! ! !
Chiba Cheng immediately turned his eyes, the screen immediately enlarged and slid in front of Chiba Cheng, so that Chiba Cheng could see it more clearly.
“This place is Kihoku Town in Mie Prefecture!”
Chiba Makoto read out the location of the appearance, which is less than a hundred kilometers away from here. For monsters, it only takes more than ten minutes to get here.
Although the monster had just landed, Chiba Cheng felt that the monster was coming here without any reason, just pure intuition.
But just twenty minutes are not enough for the mecha hunters from the Xiangjiang base to arrive. After all, they are far away across the ocean, a distance of two thousand kilometers.
And the big fortress
Chiba Makoto looked up and had a good view from a high altitude, allowing him to see at a glance a hundred-meter-high fortress and two sides of the seaside where construction was under way. The long steel support is beginning to take shape, but it will still be some time before it is completed, and this will also be the future maintenance base of the Mecha Hunter.
But now it is still a mess, nothing.
"But why is the monster here again?" Chiba Cheng couldn't help but frown. The monster came too fast.
According to records, monsters have appeared many times in the past twenty or thirty years, but there is a general rule, that is, after a certain area is attacked by monsters, there will be a period of Calm down, no monsters will attack here again, but will only appear in other places. Gamers call this phenomenon a 'refresh period', which means that the monsters in this area have been eliminated and it will take a while to refresh.
The reason has not been found so far, but it has been like this for twenty or thirty years, because monsters appeared in Dongjing last time. Not to mention the whole neon, at least Honshu Island should be calm for a while, so that’s why The Mecha Hunter will be hoisted back in a hurry and put on display in the city square as an attraction, just because I think no monsters will appear for a long time.
But today this rule was broken. Only two months have passed, and when there are no monsters appearing in other parts of the world, another monster has landed from the sea.
This was beyond everyone's expectations and shocked the entire Earth Defense Force.
Because of the experience of the "Monster Refresh Period", everyone focused on defending North America and Australia where monsters might be attacked. But they never expected that monsters would appear in Neon.
This made everyone feel bad. Because of the existence of the "monster refresh period", everyone can concentrate their forces in a few places to deal with monsters with more and fewer monsters. But once the monsters If there is no more regularity, then a comprehensive defense will be required. The already small number of troops will be even more dispersed, and the situation will be even worse.
Although the Earth Defense Force immediately issued a support order and immediately hoisted two mechas and rushed to the big board, the Hercules transport aircraft was only powerful, not super fast. Such a heavy mecha could travel so far. Due to the distance, it will take some time to arrive. Until then, we can only leave it to fate.
The satellite image clearly shows the appearance of the monster. It has brown hard skin, stubby limbs crawling on the ground, and a long gray-white horn on the tip of its nose. It looks very similar. It was a rhinoceros, and based on the fluctuations emitted by the monster, it was judged that it was a level six monster.
Level 6 monster!
It was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of everyone who knew about it, making people's hearts sink!
This is by far the strongest monster. The strength of each one cannot be underestimated. Even the sixth-generation mechas created by humans cannot be said to be able to win reliably. Usually they are paired with two more Taiwan's fifth-generation mechas and sixth-generation mechas compete head-on, and the fifth-generation mechas coordinate with each other. Only by fighting more and less can we defeat the sixth-level monsters at the minimum cost.
But now, they only have one fifth-generation mecha, which was modified from a fourth-generation mecha, and this fourth-generation mecha is only equipped with a driver who serves as a mascot, and has no combat effectiveness at all. .
"Ask the Earth Defense Force to use nuclear bombs!"
Some congressmen put forward a heavy suggestion, which is the only way so far.
By the time the mecha hunters from other places come over, the big board will probably be almost destroyed.
Neon has three major metropolitan areas in total. Twenty years ago, the largest metropolitan area of Dongjing was destroyed, which broke the backbone of Neon. It has not recovered yet. After that, Just treat Daban as a capital and develop it. It finally recovered a little strength, but a monster attacked again. Once Daban is destroyed again, it is estimated that there will be only one breath left.
“But the distance is too close.”
Another congressman looked at the red dot on the screen. It is only ninety kilometers away from here. Even if the monster is eliminated, it will cause some damage here. of influence.
“But it’s better than the whole city being destroyed.” Councilman A angrily said: “If you hesitate any longer, the loss will be even greater.”
"But."
How could Congressman B not know that, but his family's financial resources are too small to be able to smash bottles and cans.
But at this moment, the Minister of Defense in the online meeting suddenly said: "The Echo Saber is dispatched."
"What?"
"How is it possible?"< br>
"Isn't there only one pilot?"
"."
The already noisy online conference room became even more chaotic. Everything felt incredible. There was only one pilot's Echo Saber. How could it be dispatched, not to mention that its nuclear power reactor is still in a shutdown state and relies entirely on external power to serve as a good mascot?
