Only Zhang Yang knew that this seemingly effective turtle shell defense method was slapped in the face not long after the construction was completed.

In Sydney, Australia, the "coastal wall" that claimed to be able to withstand fourth-level monsters was destroyed by a monster called "virus" not long after, causing great panic and questions among the people, and then the retired Skua mecha - "Eureka Raider" eliminated the invaders.

This incident was a slap in the face to the supporters of the Coastal Wall Project, and this invasion officially kicked off the plot.

After sorting out these clues in his mind, Zhang Yang found that this incident had not happened yet, obviously not long before the plot officially began, but the plot was about to start, and before that, Zhang Yang had to find a way to stand up.

No matter how powerful Zhang Yang is, he can't survive when he is hungry, not to mention that he will intersect with mecha and monsters later? In desperation, he could only go to the location of the coastal fence with these unemployed guys to try his luck, at least have a breakfast first.

In 2025, there will be a difference of more than ten years from the real world in which Zhang Yang lives, but the surrounding environment seems to be no different from more than ten years ago, except for the coastal places.

The group was driven along a highway toward the sea in the dilapidated truck, and it wasn't long before Jeff said, "Look, the coastal fence is there!" ”

"It's not the first time I've seen it, but every time I see it, I think it's spectacular." Someone sighed.

Zhang Yang and the others raised their heads and saw a black shadow appear on the sea level in the distance. It looks like a big mountain rising from the ocean, not too high, but very long. It stretches and covers most of the coastline, apparently for defense.

This costly, seemingly impregnable wall, will soon be breached by the Kaiju Beast, proving that passive defense is nothing more than a joke, and by that time, I don't know how many people will lose their jobs together.

"Huh."

Zhang Yang echoed a few times. He withdrew his gaze, he had no interest in the wall.

It is worth mentioning that back in the world August 11, 2013. The space-time impulse that connects to the world of monsters appeared at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and at that time, it also caused a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in San Francisco, and the first Kaiju beast "invader" landed and almost completely destroyed San Francisco. Tanks for man. Fighter jets and missiles bombarded the surrounding area for 35 kilometers for 6 days, destroying 3 cities, but this did not kill the monster.

This huge monster, known as the Kaiju Beast, made humans helpless, and finally had to use nuclear weapons, which destroyed the monster, but the monster's highly toxic blood evaporated in the air. San Francisco's 100-mile radius became barren land, and this day was called "K-DAY". It is also known as D-Day.

After that, the first wave of Kaiju beasts successively landed in Manila, Tokyo, Sydney, Hong Kong and other places, and then people realized that this was not an accidental mutation, but a protracted war, and successively put forward two plans, the first is the initiative program codenamed "Hunter Project", that is, human beings developed the "Skuas" giant mecha used to fight monsters, and established the "Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force", referred to as PDCC, which is composed of 21 countries to provide huge financial and technical support, Used to create giant mechs.

The second conservative plan, which is codenamed "Coastal Wall", compared to the Coastal Wall, the Skua plan requires too much money, and it requires technical support, not a turn on the assembly line, and the driver needs to be trained, plus mecha maintenance, the consumption of logistics bases, and the huge financial consumption makes governments a little difficult.

Coupled with the gradual evolution of the monsters, the damage rate of the Skua mech is getting higher and higher, so at the end of 2024, governments around the world decided that the battered Skua mech was no longer suitable for the current plan, and after providing the last eight months of funding to the PPDC, they no longer provided any financial support, and instead allocated funds to the construction of the coastal fence.

After the Skua mecha was developed, human beings have achieved large-scale victories, the first, second, and third generations of monsters have been repulsed, and in the past ten years, humans have managed to rebuild the city on the ruins of San Francisco, and the original nuclear radiation has been reduced to harmlessness by special means, and at this moment San Francisco has become a base for human survival again, but the original prosperity is no longer there.

Publicizing the coastal wall they are going to is actually building a huge wall on land along the Pacific coast, and the "Wall Building Faction" claims that the coastal wall can block the attack of fourth-level monsters at most, of course, this is a theoretical situation, in fact, it didn't take long for the wall to collapse under the attack of the Kaiju beast, triggering a huge march around the world to protest the government's withdrawal of the Skua plan.

In the face of the ferocious alien creature of the Kaiju Beast, only the strongest counterattack is the most realistic means, and the so-called coastal wall is just a passive response, building a thick turtle shell to admit defeat to the other party, and in the end it can only be the end of human beings being completely destroyed by monsters.

The rebuilt San Francisco has kept its original appearance as much as possible, and of course, the biggest difference from the previous one is that there is a long wall more than seventy or eighty meters high next to the coast.

As the car approached, the shadow of the wall became clearer, the length of the wall did not know how many thousand kilometers, stretching into the distance, in a long distance, you can see the faint movement of people on the wall, near the south, there is still a section of the position that has not yet been built.

Although he knew that this wall was useless, Zhang Yang couldn't help but be shocked, the government consumed a huge amount of money, coupled with tens of thousands of manpower, to build this wall, at least such a behemoth can indeed give people a sense of security, no wonder the government and ordinary people will accept this statement.

Time is the only criterion for testing truth, and this law applies everywhere.

The people in the car were obviously a little excited, only Zhang Yang was a little silent, silently thinking about the two big guys of mecha and monsters, in this world, the only thing that can be relied on is the skua mecha, and the task of the system must be related to the mecha, but as the high-end combat power of human beings, the guardian of the last layer of defense, is the skua mecha so easy to access?

As if sensing Zhang Yang's speculation, the sound of the system sounded in his ears appropriately.

"Welcome to the world of Pacific Rim."

"In this world, monsters are the source of human nightmares, and mecha warriors are the ultimate saviors of mankind!"

"The main quest of this world is divided into two phases, the first stage: become the official pilot of the "Skua" mecha, have your own "Skua" mecha, the task rewards 6000 universal points, and the punishment: deduct 6000 universal points. ”

"Stage 2: After becoming a driver, destroy at least two fourth-level chrysanthemum beasts, or one fifth-level chrysanthemum beast, reward: 20,000 universal points, punishment: deduct 20,000 universal points."

"Side Mission 1: Mecha Rescuer: Save the mecha and pilot who are about to be destroyed in battle, reward 3000 universal points for each mecha saved, and there is no penalty for failure."

"Note: Rescue target range: normal mobile mecha with a completeness of more than 85%, rescue qualification standard: an actionable mecha with a integrity of more than 70%, and the pilot has not died."

"Side quest 2: Monster Exterminator: In addition to the 2 fourth-level chrysanthemum beasts required to be killed in the second phase of the main quest, each additional monster killed can get the corresponding general point reward, and the reward standard varies according to the level of the monster, the higher the monster level, the higher the reward."

Seeing the main requirements of the mission, asking himself to become the official pilot of the Skua mecha, and killing two fourth-level Kaiju beasts with one mecha, Zhang Yang felt a toothache.

The system's understatement of a few words seems to be very light, but in fact, if you want to become the pilot of the Skua mecha, it is no less difficult than Zhang Yang to defeat a fourth-level chrysanthemum beast with his bare hands.

Not to mention that he is currently an ordinary person who doesn't even have a job, even if it is the entire PPDC force, most of the tens of thousands of troops are responsible for logistics or transportation, assisting mecha to carry out work, the real core personnel are still mecha pilots, you don't see that the selection criteria for pilots are very strict, all kinds of dense training, and even the number of spare candidates is very rare.

As the only weapon of war that can resist monsters, the Skua mecha is destined to be a big guy who can't be controlled at will, just like the selection of pilots, the selection requirements of mecha pilots are also very harsh, although it is not required that there are no scars on the body, but the most important point is to find two people who match the brain waves, only in this way can the mecha operating system "drift", the consciousness of the two people is connected, to share the neurological load.

Finding someone who can cooperate with the brainwave is no less difficult than ascending to the sky, and even PPDC once found a pair of criminals in prison, promising that as long as they drive a mecha to fight monsters, their previous criminal records can be written off, which shows the severity of this condition.

This is just one of the basic conditions, in addition, the mecha has extremely high requirements for the driver's physical and mental qualities, and after passing these two levels, you must also carry out relevant driving skills training, just like you can't let a person who has never touched the steering wheel drive on the road, and the end result can only be a car crash.
