"So you spent nearly $200 billion to design and build a base by yourself, do you Li Group have money and nowhere to spend it? With this money, you might as well give it to me directly to build the Mecha Hunter. ”

After making some arrangements for the new base, Locke and Lena came to the Hunter Academy together, and Steck, who came to greet him, had some unpleasant comments.

"It's not our Li Group's responsibility to allocate funds to PPDC, this base is all out of the Li Group's own pockets, don't think about it." Locke looked at Steck and said:

"I know what your purpose is, the Li Group can have some cooperation with PPDC, and is also willing to provide some funds, but you also know that it is impossible to rely on us to solve the financial problem of PPDC, even if the entire Li Group is sold, it is not enough."

"As far as I know, in recent years, your Li Group has made a fortune not only in the field of military industry, but also in many industries such as medicine, otherwise it would not be possible to afford to build a base.

I've thought of all sorts of ways, but since last year, the appropriations for PPDC from various countries have been declining, and if you have the money to build your own base and make mecha hunters, you might as well leave it to us, because we are the most professional. ”

"Perhaps." Locke shrugged his shoulders and didn't argue with the other party:

"I'm really a novice in piloting mechs, so I'm planning to learn at the Hunter Academy, and I just take advantage of this time to build mechs, so I suggest you visit the base in Malaysia.

After reading it, you will understand that I am by no means running out of money and have nowhere to spend it, I can lend you my own private jet to save you some time. ”

"No need for your private jet." Steck waved his hand: "Lukka and I used fighter jets to go over, and you don't want to get me in trouble at the Hunter Academy." ”

"It's okay, I'll watch him." Cai Tiantong came over at this time, grabbed Locke's neck and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to visit." ”

Boarding the elevator with Cai Tiantong and going down to the bottom, what caught his eye were three humanoid mecha supported by the bracket. ，

The three mecha are quite huge, standing one or two hundred meters away, you also need to look up to see their full picture, ordinary people standing in front of the mecha are not even as tall as the mecha's feet!

On the nail that holds the mech in place, technicians can be seen constantly busy, inspecting and repairing mech parts and repairing broken shells.

One of them, which looks the most human-like on the outside, with a huge turbine on his chest, like a samurai in heavy armor, is the 'Dangerous Wanderer' who has a great record in the story.

To say that in the past five years, although Locke has provided some key technologies, because there are too many things to be busy, he has not directly intervened in the design and manufacturing of mecha hunters, but just kept an eye on it to understand the relevant technologies and trends.

Most of the mecha hunters are very similar to those in the original story in terms of overall design and shape, but there are some differences, the biggest of which is the pilot.

"They're pretty, aren't they?" At this time, the voice of a person next to him came, and Locke turned his head, looked at the blonde man who spoke, and said with a smile: "If you want to say the most beautiful, it must be the moment when the battle is won." ”

"Haha, you're right." The blonde man smiled: "I'm Yang Xi Beckett, I heard Cai Tiantong say yesterday that there will be a big man coming, it seems that it is you." ”

"It turned out to be the boss of the Beckett brothers, I have heard of you before, I am Locke, this is Lena, we are preparing to go to the Hunter Academy to study."

In the original episode, Jancy Beckett and his brother worked as the pilot of a dangerous wanderer, but was attacked by the third-level chrysanthemum beast 'Scythe Head' with a play-to-death tactic, and was pulled out of the cockpit alive and killed in the sea.

Yangcy Beckett looked at Locke and Lena, especially for a long time before saying, "Which mecha hunter are you going to apply for together?" It's not easy to find even a substitute right now! ”

Because of Locke's appearance, Mecha Hunter now only needs to be able to drive alone, and some good solo pilots have emerged, but overall, those pilots in the original plot still account for the majority.

The surplus of pilots also means that each mech usually has one or three spare pilots, and these pilots usually cooperate to win a mech hunter at the beginning, and then take turns to fight.

"We're just going to get familiar with how to fly a Hunter Mech, and we don't have the idea of applying to fly an existing Mech Hunter." Lena said, tilting her head.

"That's a shame, it's the biggest weapon in human history, and it's super cool!" Yang Xi said with a smile.

"Yo, Tiantong, are you planning to introduce that related household to the Hunter Academy?" At this time, a young man who was six or seven points similar to Yang Xi came over, made a joke with Cai Tiantong, and then looked at Locke and Lena: "Raleigh Beckett, that guy's younger brother." ”

This guy should be regarded as the protagonist in the movie, at this time, he was not depressed after his brother's death, and when he saw Lena, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Where did this beauty come from, I'm Raleigh, I was a reserve driver for Tasmanian tango, and I have just been selected as a driver for dangerous wanderers, if you plan to come to the Hunter Academy to study, I can teach you some practical experience."

"That's right, this guy was my substitute before" Yang Xi pointed to a mecha opposite and said: "Tasmanian Tango, the mecha I am responsible for piloting, although it is a generation of mecha, it has just been upgraded some time ago. ”

The 'Tasmanian Tango' has a dull yellow body, a cylindrical shape that is large at the top and small at the bottom, and the head cockpit is slightly larger than that of the Dangerous Wanderer, but the armor is thicker.

It looks a bit like a hunchback because of its construction, but it's actually because it has a pair of reorientable engine vents at the back of its neck, which should provide extra power when charging.

Because of the unfamiliarity of the first generation of mecha with monsters, there are various designs, and even after upgrading, there are some flaws in the innate design.

However, in general, the difference in performance after the transformation is not particularly large, and in addition to the performance of the mech hunter itself, the pilot is also extremely important.

The artificial intelligence assistance provided by Locke is generally only an assistance, not a real artificial intelligence, and in essence, it still has a fixed mode and operates relatively rigidly.

The better the pilot, the more operational pressure he can withstand, the more flexible the body will be, and the more capable he will be of the combat effectiveness of the airframe.

The quality of the two Beckett brothers is among the best among all drivers, so they have obtained driving qualifications.

At this time, Raleigh had just obtained the driver of the dangerous wanderer, and it was when he was in high spirits, and his personality was inclined to jump out, he ignored Locke, who stretched out his hand to shake hands, and instead stretched out his hand to Lena, allowing Locke to shake the air.

At this time, Lena grabbed Raleigh's wrist, pulled him in front of Locke, and said expressionlessly: "I am Lena, this is my master Locke." ”

"Lord, master?!" Yang Xi and Raleigh's eyes flickered between Locke and Lena.

Is it so good at playing?

"Lena is my partner, the master or something is just a joke," Locke smiled and shook the hand that Lena had grabbed and shook it slightly.

Judging from the plot, the person in front of him is not bad, so Locke only let go of the pain he felt slightly.

"Hahaha...... It seems that this beauty has a master, brother, you are late. Yang Xi smiled and patted Raleigh on the shoulder.

"Man, you've got a lot of strength." Raleigh looked at Locke, "Not like a rich man at all. ”

"Do you recognize me?" Locke asked.

"What you said, the Titan reactor technology, metal material technology, and driver-assisted artificial intelligence programs used by the mecha hunters are all provided by your Li Group, and your name is still on the course of the Hunter Academy."

Raleigh pointed to his brother, "Artificial intelligence programs in particular are definitely the greatest inventions, otherwise I would have to put up with this guy getting into my brain." ”
