55. Chapter 55
Jiang Mu looked at this giant who was still making zuΓ² in surprise, with silver-white metal lacquer and smooth arc, even if it was not successfully manufactured, he could still feel the power it contained.
This is a mecha, he always thought that there were no mecha in this era. In the war with the Zerg, Jiang Mu only saw fighter planes, all kinds of fighters that could soar in the stars.
Jiang Mu pressed out the surprise in his heart and looked at Master Zhang.
Zhang Pu let out of his nose and snorted angrily, "This is what we've been working on." β
When the others in the research room saw Master Zhang and Master Ye bring a newcomer over, they all stopped what they were doing.
Ye Zhihui patted Jiang Mu's shoulder and pushed him forward. Jiang Mu was a little nervous and received the attention from all directions.
"This is the little apprentice that Zhang Pu and I newly recruited, and he will also start to participate in the research system of 3180 in the future." Naturally, 3180 had to be the code name for the mecha they were studying.
After hearing this, the other researchers looked surprised, indifferent, disdainful, but more expressionless.
They have been studying this research for seven years, and the progress has become an old ox pulling a cart after a qualitative leap, which is extremely slow, and Master Zhang and Master Ye will often select some talents to come over and try different ideas, but the results are all inconclusive. "Jiang Mu's ability is in my eyes and Ye Zhihui's eyes," Zhang Pu's undoubted tone hit everyone's hearts, "I believe that we will definitely make new progress this time, at least we will not stand still again." We've been doing it for seven years, and it's not bad for this month. β
The feelings of the other researchers were more or less driven by Zhang Pu, and Ye Zhihui waved his hand to let them continue their work. Jiang Mu was taken under 3180 by the two masters, and Zhang Pu spoke: "How do you feel?" β
"Amazing." Jiang Mu said solemnly.
"Heh," Zhang Pu uttered a monosyllable, unable to tell whether it was self-deprecation or sneering.
"This is what our ancestors would have done 2,000 years ago, and we are still in this difficult exploration. How much time and effort did it take? It's a shame to only come up with this empty shell! Zhang Pu's face was ugly, and his angry voice had a heavy feeling of powerlessness to breathe.
Jiang Mu understood that the master must have put a lot of thought into this, but it had little effect, so there was such an unspeakable heaviness.
Ye Zhihui secretly glanced at Jiang Mu and signaled not to take it too seriously.
"Okay, Zhang Pu, don't dampen Xiao Mu's enthusiasm." Ye Zhihui waved his hand and motioned for two assistants not far away to come over and pull Zhang Pu away, "I'll talk to Xiao Mu well, you go and get busy with you first." β
Zhang Pu seems to have aged dozens of years here, and he no longer has the spirit that he can roar at any time in the Graduate School of Paleography, and he was helped away by the two assistants with a somewhat dejected expression.
Jiang Mu only felt that it was unspeakably sad to see Master Zhang like this, he would rather see Master scolding him every day than like an old man who was dying.
Ye Zhihui knocked on the civilization stick in his hand, sighed, and looked up at the tall giant, "Now, I can't let Zhang Pu see this thing, he has a headache when he sees it." β
Jiang Mu's gaze returned to the mecha, and Ye Zhihui continued, "This project Zhang Pu has been preparing for thirty years. He began to prepare when he was one hundred and ten years old, and the imperial government and the military department approved it when he was one hundred and forty years old, and he was one hundred and forty-seven years old this year, and the time of these seven years of research was not as good as the thirty years when he was running around asking for approval, at that time, he had a thought, he knew what he was doing, in the past seven years, the launch of 3180 had not been successful once, Zhang Pu tried any method, and 3180 has not been eye-catching......"
Ye Zhihui's voice was a little choked, his eyes were red, Jiang Mu hurriedly went over to support him, Ye Zhihui grabbed his hand, "Xiao Mu, you are your master's last life-saving straw, if you still can't, he is estimated to really collapse this time." β
Jiang Mu's heart was churning, he naturally wanted his master's research to succeed, but the system had never told him about mechas, which meant that he didn't have this ability yet.
He had no choice but to speak: "Master, I will find a way and do my best." β
Ye Zhihui sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Good boy." He also paid a lot for the research of 3180, Zhang Pu studied the number of days and nights, so he went to look through the texts, find archives, study the history of this area, and help him analyze it together.
Ye Zhihui gave him an electronic pen, "This is a number jΓΉ library, you can ask all the questions about 3180 like it." β
Jiang Mu took the electronic pen and watched Master Ye go away. When Master Ye opened the door of Master Zhang's office, his gaze fell on this machine giant again.
Jiang Mu wanted to ask the system if he knew about 3180, but found that the system was already floating in the sea of filaments of his spiritual power, and his cute face was a little lost.
Does the system recognize this mecha? Jiang Mu looked at it with some surprise, "Do you know 3180? β
"You're only 3180, and your whole family is 3180!" The system roared angrily, "It's the Emperor of War, the strongest mecha, Laura Reis." β
When the system said its name, the loneliness on its face lingered.
Jiang Mu was shocked, the system knows it?
"With the current level of technology, they can't fix Laura Rarians, there's no way at all." The system's voice weakened, and there was a faint cry.
"No, this is no longer Laura Rhoris, Laura Raura has been destroyed, from the moment it escorted Noah's Ark here, it died, its whole body was swallowed by the countercurrent of space, only the intelligence core was thrown onto Noah's Ark by it, it is no longer there." The system didn't cry this time, not even crying soundly, only a lot of tears fell down, and transparent flowers bloomed on the filaments of spiritual power.
Jiang Mu didn't say anything, and slowly stroked its head with his spiritual power.
"It's not Laura Rears, and you are not allowed to call it that." The system said domineeringly, "Don't even call it 3180, change its name." β
Jiang Mu was speechless, looking at the current appearance of the system, he could only follow the hair, he nodded, "Okay." β
The system breathed a sigh of relief, "It's changed its shape, and I feel uncomfortable when I look at it." β
"Okay." Jiang Mu nodded, completely ignoring the fact that he had no right to change its appearance at all.
The mood of the system is a little better, looking at this giant, he opened his mouth for a while, "The War Emperor Mecha was the highest height reached by the earth civilization at that time, Zhang Pu can do this step with his current level of science and technology, it can be called a miracle, if you want it to 'live', you need two things, one is its original intelligent core, and the other is the person who can awaken and control it." β
"The moment Laura Reis's body disappeared, the intelligent core will be reset to zero, no different from the new factory intelligent core, and now 2000 years have passed, I don't know what the intelligent core has become, but what is certain is that it is still an important thing, especially in this era when technology is not as good as that time."
"As for the person who can awaken and control it, a mecha only recognizes one owner, especially the unique mecha of the Emperor of War, its owner must have the best mental strength and physical fitness. But there's a fatal flaw......"
"What flaw?"
"At that time, the creator of the mecha was an earthling, which is very different from the current new humans, especially the spiritual power, and the people who drove the mecha at that time were all earthlings at that time, which means that it has zero chance of successfully matching with the current new humans."
Jiang Mu was dumbfounded, a mecha that could not be activated......
"I'm an old human, known as an incomplete earthling." Jiang Mu looked at the system with some surprise.
The system shook his head, "It's different, the human beings who escaped at the beginning were all irradiated by cosmic rays, but some people didn't change obviously, so there was a saying about old humans." β
"Even if your body is the original earthling, your mental strength is so weak that you don't even have the qualifications to connect with it."
"So there's nothing wrong with this Emperor of War mecha, right? All it takes is its intelligence core and a person who can wake it up. Jiang Mu muttered. So in a sense, Master has successfully restored this mecha.
"No, it's not, what I just said is only the core problem, and now there is a superficial problem, even if it is just the shell of this War Emperor Mecha. Although Zhang Pu has tried his best to do his best, there are still many problems. "It's up to you next." β
Jiang Mu nodded, he could give the master a little more hope that he was willing to do it.
"However, it is still not enough to use this mecha as a bargaining chip for the negotiation of the five empires." The system looked at it, "The manufacture of this War Emperor mecha should have cost a lot of money and resources, with the current national strength, how many can be produced and put on the battlefield?" β
Jiang Mu frowned, indeed, not to mention that the possibility of this mecha being piloted is zero, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources just to make it.
"Remember the SIO I gave you?" The system looked at Jiang Mu.
"Although its performance and weapon configuration are not the best in the current level of science and technology, it is definitely not inferior, the point is that the cost of manufacturing it is one-fifth of the cost of the Flamingo fighter, but its performance is not inferior to the Flamingo at all."
The Flamingo is the most commonly used four-star weapon in interstellar warfare.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Mu instantly had an epiphany, the SIO fighter is also an ancient earth technology, and if it is used as a bargaining chip for the five empires in peace talks, it can just give other empires a little sweetness, and make them believe that the ancient earth civilization does have the power to turn the tide of the war.
The system looked at him with his chin raised.
Jiang Mu really wants to give it a love.
"When I go back today, I'll take a good look at the information of the SIO fighter." Jiang Mu said to the system in his mind. Although he usually insists on watching, he has never been so eager today.
As for this War Emperor Mecha, Jiang Mu clenched his fists, he will definitely restore it, find its intelligent core, and have a person who can activate it.
