Chapter 17: Steam Rush
The black flannel fell, covering half of Miss Nan's body, and the metal giant finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes, what a mighty divine soldier, the crowd quieted down, and everyone looked at the mecha with bright eyes.
The mecha is all blue, shimmering with a sapphire brilliance in the slightly dim light. Its visor is slightly curved, with diamond-shaped eye holes that allow the driver to clearly observe the external environment. This mech is unique in that its limbs are slender and slender, and the armor pieces it is equipped with are clearly carefully pressed by top mechanics. There are more small scale-like armor at each joint of the mecha, which can not only protect the delicate bearings and transmission pipes at the joints, but also do not affect the overall fan heat of the mecha, which can be called a top-notch design.
"Codenamed 'Planet', this mecha is 2.87 meters tall and weighs 362 kilograms, and its steam core uses Mr. Z's latest Flare I engine. This engine is modified from the previous generation of military engine SV-III engine with the mysterious technology of the East, and its requirements for the concentration of raw stone vapor are extremely low, compared to the current military mecha loaded with 70% of the original stone vapor concentration, but the Flare I can work with a concentration of only 40%, and the peak output can still reach 2800 horsepower or even higher......"
"Oriental Mystery Technology!" Rita covered her mouth in shock, and she turned her head to look at Corgate sitting next to her with wide eyes.
Komette frowned, his hands still clasped, and he raised his chin slightly, motioning for Rita to continue to pay attention to the host's introduction.
As a clerk in a mechanical repair shop, Rita Snoff is naturally interested in the legendary machine of steam mecha. If the ordinary steam locomotive is the primitive technology in the steam age, then the steam mecha must be the crystallization of the top wisdom of mankind. It is said that the mechanical structure inside a steam locomotive is dozens of times more complex than that of a steam locomotive.
With a yearning and love for steam mecha, Rita has been working in her grandfather's mechanical repair shop since graduating from Wang Li Mechanical Academy, and must participate in the steam mecha auction in Carnival Paradise every month. For a little girl like her, participating in such an auction is to learn about the cutting-edge technology related to the new steam mecha from the introduction of the host. Compared to other wealthy ladies, the mecha auction attracted Rita far more than dramas and movies.
After hearing that Mr. Z's mecha auction at Carnival Paradise today was going to showcase a new and innovative mech, Rita took Corgate to this place that fanatics love without saying a word. After she recently helped repair the mysterious Oriental Mecha known as the "Star Body", her love for the mecha was almost in a state of madness, and she was also unexpectedly sensitive to these related terms.
The engine of the "Planetary" mecha shown by Mr. Z actually combines Eastern technology, which has to make Rita associate "Planet" with "Star Body". The Star Mecha seems to be a completely Oriental Mecha, and its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is not powered by Primogem steam at all, while Mr. Z's Planetary Mecha can operate at a low Primogem Steam concentration, which makes Rita feel more and more that the mysterious anonymous customer who sent the Star Mecha has something to do with the equally mysterious Mr. Z.
But why did the other party send the mecha to their Snoff mechanical repair shop? What exactly are they trying to do? Is the Star Body Mecha really from the East? In other words, in addition to their Euro-13 shelter area, there are other places in this world that have had the technology to make mecha since the old times?
These chaotic questions crowded into Rita's head, and she looked curiously at the display stand, where the presenter was using the loading machinery to open the front breastdeck and metal mask of the planetary mech with Miss Nan's cooperation to show the guests the cockpit structure inside the mecha.
"Look, this is our new cockpit design, it's the second revolutionary upgrade of our planetary mech, and we've greatly increased the comfort of the pilot when piloting the mech......" The host was just halfway through his sentence when the sound of a loudspeaker was suddenly covered by the sound of a chaotic electric current, followed by a burst of gunfire from the crowd under the display stand.
"Who is it? Who shot it! Someone shouted, and the bang rang out again, and a vapor lamp on the ceiling was shattered in an instant, and scattered debris fell and sprinkled into the panicked crowd.
"Who doesn't give Mr. Z face?" Someone shouted, and also took out the steam repeater hidden under the coat, and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at the panicked crowd around him. Normally, only fanatics come to a depraved place like Carnival Paradise, but Mr. Z's mecha auction really brought too many surprises, and over time, some rich people, and even big chaebol people participated, but these people hired bodyguards.
The first to panic were the rich and the women, the scantily clad women immediately threw away their glasses, broke free from the arms of the men who held them, kicked off their high heels and stumbled towards the exit of the venue, while the rich men lost their grace and hid behind their hired bodyguards.
The crowd had just squeezed to the exits on both sides of the back of the venue, but stopped, and the people at the front not only did not run out quickly, but retreated frantically with distorted faces, and the crowd behind did not know what was happening in front of them, and continued to squeeze outside. The people in front of them shouted to go back, while the people inside were still squeezing out, and soon, a large number of people fell.
"Steam mech! It's a steam mecha! ”
Milky white steam poured out from the exits on both sides of the back of the venue, like two white dragons, and the burly figures tore through the white curtains, as if the mythical giants of the ancient world appeared in front of the panicked people. They swung their toothed greatswords, and as they swung them, the armor on their shoulders and ribs turned outward, revealing the muzzle of a burst of guns with black holes underneath, and the muzzles of the guns spewed out a meter-long flame like a fiery dragon, engulfing the poor creatures in their way.
The two steam mechs that stormed the venue were sprayed in a mess of paintwork, apparently to conceal their origins, and even the toothed greatsword they used was a common weapon that could not be traced. Steam and flames swirled around the two metal giants, mingling with the splatters of blood, making humans look so small in front of the steam mechs that even the most sinful fanatics would be reduced to lifeless flesh under the serrated swords and repeating guns.
The men who had just longed for this terrifying weapon were all pale and knelt on the ground, waiting for death to come.
