Chapter 1289: Committee Summit!
By the end of 2024, there had been a total of 46 monster attacks, 14 in 2024 alone, causing massive damage and casualties, as well as creating an unbridgeable funding hole for the Hunter program.
In the face of huge losses, humanity was forced to close all mecha bases except for Hong Kong, and began to build a solid "anti-monster wall" for simple defense.
In 2025, the fourth-level monster "virus" landed in Sydney Bay and broke through the "anti-monster wall" in less than an hour, although it was finally killed by the Australian fifth-generation mecha "Eureka Raider", but people questioned the reliability of the "anti-monster wall".
Due to the continuous increase in the combat effectiveness of the monster, the United Pacific Rim Defense Force decided to recall the third generation of mecha dangerous wanderers, and at the same time retrieve Raleigh Beckett, who had been missing for 7 years, as a pilot.
After selection, the adopted daughter of General Sterk Pantcoster, commander of the United Pacific Rim Defense Force, Asako Mori became Raleigh's new partner, and in the first synchronization test, Asako Mori's neuronal connection failed, nearly destroying the base.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth-level monsters "Tailed Standing Rat" and "Ridgeback Turtle" landed in Hong Kong, fiercely fought against the Chinese mecha "Storm Crimson", the Russian mecha "Chernoalpha" was unfortunately killed, and the fifth-generation mecha "Eureka Raider" was paralyzed by the monster's electromagnetic pulse attack, and the dangerous wanderers temporarily attacked and defeated the invading monsters one by one.
In this battle, all the mechs except for the Eureka Raiders and Dangerous Wanderers were killed.
After the First World War in Hong Kong, the Pacific Rim Combined Defense Force decided to immediately implement the Gap Destruction Operational Plan.
In the deep sea, the wanderer kills the fourth-level monster "Swift Dragon", and the Eureka Raider self-destructs and dies together with the fourth-level monster "Abomination", and at the same time seriously injures the fifth-level monster "Poisonous Woman", covering the wanderer through the gap, and successfully blowing up the wormhole through self-destruction.
The threat of monsters has been eliminated for the time being, but humans don't know if there will be new wormholes and if monsters will make a comeback.
Therefore, even if there is no threat of monsters for the time being, the construction and upgrading of the hunter mecha has not stopped, but has taken advantage of this rare time of peace to develop a new sixth-generation mecha, which is stronger, faster, more flexible in combat, and has higher armor strength, and the overall combat effectiveness is far higher than that of the previous fifth-generation mecha.
In order to prevent the monster from attacking again, the Pacific Rim Combined Defense Force has deployed a number of mechs at major bases along the Pacific coast to prepare for the monster's re-attack at any time.
……
Ten years have passed quickly, and the time has come to 2035.
Most of the area has been rebuilt, but some coastal cities have not changed, and the giant skeletons of the monsters still lie in the places where they fell, a reminder of what happened.
The whole world is still recuperating, for ordinary people, the threat of monsters seems to be gone, people's lives have basically returned to normal, only the Pacific Rim Combined Defense Force is still vigilant, the safety of all mankind is at stake, and they have never taken it lightly in this decade.
New sixth-generation mechs are being built as they become available, and the Hunter Academy has trained batches of excellent mecha pilots to guard the entire Pacific Rim defense.
Among ordinary people, there are some people who think that the crisis has passed, and they no longer need the protection of the Hunter Mecha, and demand that the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force be disbanded, and that they no longer spend a lot of resources to create useless Hunter Mechas.
There are even some monster worshippers, who are hostile to the Combined Pacific Defense Force and Mecha Hunters, and instead worship the monsters that attack humans.
I just don't know if they'll still be in this frenzy when the monsters reappear and attack them.
Sydney, Australia.
Headquarters of the Combined Pacific Defense Force.
Today, the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Forces Committee summit will be held here to discuss the deployment of drone mechs.
In front of the square of the headquarters of the United Pacific Rim Defense Force, many people gathered to demonstrate.
Among them, there are those who simply oppose the deployment of drone mechs, believing that drone mechs are not as reliable as those directly controlled by pilots, and there are also those who think that the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force has wasted a lot of manpower and material resources and demand the disbandment of the PPDC.
Other monster worshippers were more aggressive, even confronting the police in charge of policing, wearing black masks and throwing bottles and rocks, injuring many people.
However, the soldiers of the PPDC were quickly dispatched to stabilize the situation and did not affect the normal conduct of the committee summit.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, there was still an hour before the official start of the summit.
A helicopter with the PPDC badge on its fuselage flew towards the headquarters of the Combined Defense Force of the Pacific Rim from a distance.
Inside the helicopter, Asako Mori was wearing a dark blue Pacific Rim United Defense Force uniform, with her fair and slender legs under her short skirt and leaning in front of her, looking down at the feasibility report of the drone mecha on the tablet in her hand.
Ten years have passed, and the pure and moving Mori Asako has become a lot more mature, and her neat short hair looks calm and capable.
Ten years ago, she and Raleigh piloted the Dangerous Rover into the underwater wormhole, arrived on the planet of the alien pioneers, and used the Dangerous Rover's own nuclear reactor to self-detonate, destroying the wormhole, and successfully escaping through the escape pod before the explosion.
Destroying the wormhole under the sea and cutting off the passage for monsters to invade the earth, Asako Mori, who escaped death, became a hero to save the world.
Today, she has grown from a mech pilot to the secretary general of the United Pacific Rim Defense Force, and has a pivotal position in the entire United Pacific Rim Defense Force.
This time, Shaw Brothers has developed a drone mecha that can be controlled remotely by a single person, and has low requirements for the pilot.
In fact, the biggest problem with the number of Mech Hunters has always been not the cost of construction and the speed of construction, but the number of Mech Pilots.
Mecha Hunter adopts a two-person pilot system, and the two pilots need to carry out brain nerve docking, which has extremely strict requirements for the pilot's talent, tacit understanding, and matching, and at the same time, because it is necessary to directly control the mecha to fight in the mecha, it needs to withstand the strong acceleration and impact force during the battle, and the requirements for physical fitness are also extremely high.
Every Mech Hunter pilot needs to go through rigorous screening and training, which is very difficult to train.
