The spittle rose against gravity, spraying the whole body of the group member who had tarnished everyone's beautiful dreams.

But he only wiped some of the water stains off his face, and then looked at the scattered spit that had spilled into the cockpit with disgust, and quickly crawled back, wiping it with great pride and graciously wiping it off the clean corner of his uniform.

And the others didn't embarrass him anymore, and they all dispersed boredly.

That member of the group is right, the era of mecha has long passed!

The mecha dream that once fascinated countless men, women, adults and children, in the final analysis, was rooted in the current situation that the cultivation level of dragon qi in the old era was generally not high.

Decades ago, in their entire lives, ape-men were not even half of what they are now, and ordinary people were often weak, plagued by disasters and diseases, and did not live long.

As a result, people inevitably yearn for steel bodies that are stronger and more powerful than ordinary humans, but more flexible than ordinary humans, and fantasize about all kinds of ways to combine fragile flesh with eternal machinery.

In the end, the dream that goes from fantasy to reality is a mecha.

At that time, many people of all ages dreamed of owning a mecha of their own, so that they could use their alloy body to resist the horrors and tribulations of the outside world such as car accidents and space radiation, and even travel the heavens, the earth and the stars, and enjoy a free and easy life of bliss.

And for commercial or political purposes, the people immediately set off a wave of mecha construction boom. Large mechs are like idols of the god of science, being mass-produced one after the other, and they are getting bigger and more ornate.

Soon, even the top of the state was in turn influenced by the frenzied atmosphere of the lower strata. In the old era, there was a general blind worship of large mechs at the top of the military, believing that strong is strong, more is beautiful, and big is good!

One mecha army after another was quickly established under the impetus of capital.

And, in the past, how many mechs a unit had, and whose mechs were bigger and more beautiful, could really affect morale.

Francis II dared to boast of the destruction of Camura's Haikou in the second half of World War I, but he despised the Republic of only a dozen large mechas.

At the beginning of the war, in order to encourage citizens to buy more war bonds issued by the Empire, Francis openly mocked the lack of weapons in the Republic of Camilla on television.

While he quickly and comically crossed his fingers to count the number of mechs that Camura's mechs were, and how pitifully few they were, he frantically spat out the fragrance of Camura's army, describing it to nothing, calling it "tattered".

The results are also very good, the price of the Imperial War bonds changes greatly day by day, sometimes 3 consecutive daily limits, and in less than a month, they are speculated to sky-high prices, and there is no market. Even Zifeng and Camilla have people quietly buying them, in order to leave a way back for themselves.

And this, in turn, pushed the construction boom of large mecha to the top. At that time, every town in the empire had a mech, which was free to visit.

But prosperity must fall!

Just like building tall buildings, the taller the better, and the mechs are actually not as big as possible.

When the floor is high to a certain level, the wind will overtake gravity and earthquakes, becoming the main factor affecting the stability of the tall building.

At that moment, the slightest wind may cause the building made of reinforced concrete or even pure steel to sway violently, even if it breaks and collapses.

Before the development of high-rise architecture, it was not uncommon for 100-story buildings to be blown down by typhoons.

In the same way, the larger and larger mecha also makes the internal force of the mecha more and more complicated, burying many deadly hidden dangers for the mecha that are usually undetectable.

And those hidden dangers finally broke out in such a brutal actual battle as the First World War.

On June 11, 3182, in order to fulfill Francis II's promise to destroy Camilla in half a year, Duke Albert was forced to put all ten mecha armies into the suppression of the Night Valley Star Migration Satellite Group in advance according to his orders.

However, as soon as the battle began, the Imperial Expeditionary Force's proud Mecha Army was severely damaged by the "beggar troops" they once despised - the Camilla armored troops, which caused a shock more terrifying than an earthquake, and was known as the "Day of the Fall of the Giants".

In the end, the tens of thousands of large mechs of the Western Sea Empire, which cost more than one billion yuan and were highly anticipated by Francis II and the people of the empire, were all destroyed by the poorly equipped Camilla armored troops in just a few days. Even the wreckage of the mech, which was rich in solar metal, was not fully recovered, and more than half of it was lost, providing Camilla with more armor.

In addition, most of the pilots of the mechs were trapped in the cockpit, brutalized by penetrating weapons or fire gas, and almost no people survived. By the time the Empire's follow-up armored units removed the corpses from the mecha wreckage, many of them had begun to decompose, and the stench was unpleasant.

The impact of the campaign was quite far-reaching and is considered one of the three important turning points of the First World War.

Duke Amuri made a comeback thanks to this major victory.

Because of his previous efforts to put the limited amount of high-energy hydrogen in the Republic into his humiliating heavy space warships and his disgraceful armored forces, Amuri was once again promoted by the then President of the Republic Duke Valery to be the Vice President of the Republic, replacing the terminally ill him to preside over the battle, and finally lead the Republic to a glorious victory.

On the other hand, for the Empire, this war not only caused the Empire to suffer huge losses, but also made the nobles of the Empire cruel and ruthless and the pain of losing their loved ones.

This war completely shattered the wishful thinking of Francis II to destroy Camilla in half a year, and laid the groundwork for the precipitous depreciation of the war bond and the complete collapse of the country's economy.

For a time, the imperial government and the opposition were shaken, and an investigation team was set up for this purpose, and a number of weapons experts were specially mobilized to go to the battlefield to meet with the soldiers on the scene, and it took nearly a month to produce a report of hundreds of pages.

The conclusions of the report are broadly as follows:

Despite the presence of high-dimensional matter that is much stronger than low-dimensional matter, mechs can be built to a very large size, even hundreds of meters high, and can be equipped with countless modern weapons to perform all combat missions.

But the problem is that high-energy hydrogen, a metal from high-dimensional space-time, can only maximize its power when combined with spiritual power, which is also a high-dimensional space-time force.

Therefore, the part of the mecha that is too large and cannot be covered by spiritual power will immediately become the weak point of the mecha, or the weak point that exists in a large area, as long as it is strengthened with a little spiritual power with the same purity of sun alloy.

Coupled with the complex stress conditions that exist inside the mech, the Empire's large and clumsy mechs will inevitably be easily restrained by the more petite and nimble elite armorers.

In actual combat, the entire mecha is often dismembered in an instant, leaving a useless backbone, completely losing its combat effectiveness, and becoming a big iron lump to be slaughtered. However, the pilots were not wearing armor, so they could only sit back and wait for death, or open the door and throw themselves into the net, just like the Camilla Space Force trapped in the broken battleship.

For large mechs, the relationship between armored troops and the human body is simply the relationship between deadly germs and the human body, which is obviously more difficult to build, more expensive, and very cumbersome to maintain, but it is very easy to be completely destroyed by much smaller things.

All in all, the excessively large size of the mecha was the main reason for the total annihilation of the mecha unit.

As for Duke Brown, the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire and the chairman of the Imperial Heavy Mecha R&D and Production Co., Ltd., who failed to discover the hidden dangers in time, he must bear the main responsibility for his dereliction of duty and the death of tens of thousands of noble mecha soldiers in our empire.

I hope that Your Majesty will shoot him immediately, no, he will be shot!

Since then, despite Duke Brown's best efforts to escape, the Empire's mechs are still decreasing year by year, and they are constantly developing towards miniaturization. And countries have wisely followed suit.

Now, the mechs appear on the battlefield for the sole purpose of clearing all vulnerable obstacles, facilities, or enemy cannon fodder units that can be cleared with heavy firepower, and must also be cooperated by other troops.

Otherwise, once the pure mecha unit encounters an armored unit with slightly better equipment, it will be easy to be helpless and may not escape death.

In addition, it has to be piloted by soldiers who are also expensive and practice the Heavenly Dragon Breathing Method, which is extremely expensive to maintain.

Today, mecha is a "golden man" that only three superpowers can afford, but its value is not as important as everyone thought before.

Naturally, the old dreams of the old era have been completely shattered by the armored troops, and have been gradually replaced by the new dreams of the new era, which can also give ordinary people a powerful force against professional armored soldiers, or inherit.

Estimating that it was almost over, the officer of the People's House Affairs Committee, who was in charge at the scene, nodded to the Marquis of German, signaling that it was time to make a killer move.

The Marquis of Germania walked straight to the door of the weapon Gnacu with a blank expression, followed by Iman, Nastasia, and Gu Lei.

Iman and Nastasia stood behind the Germanic Marquis, while Gu Lei stepped forward and stood on the right side of the Marquis, shouting:

"The first detachment of the Valkyrie Knights, assemble—"

This slightly bland command attracted the attention of the audience.

Not only the people of the first group, but also the boys and girls of many other regiments also looked at the Yunmeng boy with an ordinary face with an unconcealed fiery gaze.

Gu Lei's tightly closed eyes, which everyone knew were blind, not only did not let them look down on them, but they became more and more convinced that Gu Lei was resolute and strong-willed, and he was a model for my generation, and they admired him even more after seeing him in person.

After all, I thought that Gu Lei defeated the young genius among the nobles - Miller with such a crippled body.

They instinctively felt their blood boiling, felt that Gu Lei's victory was not easy to come by, and couldn't help but be deeply moved and inspired.

Now, the Panzers, the patrons of Camilla, who once destroyed the terrifying Iron Giant, are gradually showing signs of destroying the world. Every ordinary person, especially teenagers with a low dragon qi realm, is deeply confused and uneasy about the future.

Therefore, of course, the spy leader is very knowledgeable and ordered Gu Lei to immediately give Gu Lei a close-up long shot of a few seconds, and the slimming and dermabrasion filter is fully opened.

……

"Eh, what's going on with this snake face?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm overweight!"

……

But what the spy boss didn't know was that not only the teenagers in front of the screen, but even the heads of the spy leaders, that is, the female chief of the People's Internal Affairs Committee, were deeply attracted by the seemingly ordinary teenager, and it was difficult to move away.

Slowly, the light in the woman's eyes became brighter and brighter, but her eyes became more and more complex and obscure.
