Chapter 319: Hunter Academy
Locke didn't waste much time on those mechhunters, in Locke's opinion, as a weapon of war, mechhunters were too cumbersome.
The reason why large mecha is used is essentially to reduce damage, after all, the Kaiju Beast has extremely high resistance to weapons such as bombs, and if you want to kill a Kaiju Beast with missiles or the like, it will take at least 10,000 tons of weapons with equivalent power.
And it's only a second-level chrysanthemum beast, and a third-level chrysanthemum beast requires at least tens of thousands of tons of equivalent weapons, and it's not even something that can be killed at once.
Such a weapon would cause great damage with every use, and in comparison, it would be much better to keep the Kaiju Beast at the shore with a large mech.
Even if you have to fight in the city in the end, the damage caused is much less in comparison.
The reason why the mecha is humanoid is also so that the driver can better use the Pons system to connect his brain with the machine.
In Locke's view, this kind of large mecha still needs to be combined with other weapons in order to exert the greatest power, Locke came to the Hunter Academy, planning to design and build a new generation of mecha by himself, in addition to completing the task of destroying the wormhole within the time period specified by the system, more for feelings.
After helping Locke with the enrollment procedures for the Hunter Academy, Steck unceremoniously took Locke's private jet to visit Locke's base in Malaysia with Luca.
Now that the PPDC funds have begun to be continuously deducted, every mecha hunter and each base under his command is a gold-swallowing beast, since Locke has the ability to build a base by himself, and plans to build a new mecha, if he is willing to contribute, at least he can solve the current PPDC one-twelfth of the expenditure.
It doesn't sound like much, but it's actually a lot, after more than five years in the plot, there is not much left of PPDC's funds, and they are even quietly colluding with the 'monster repair organization' to smuggle the corpse of the chrysanthemum beast, dispose of the corpse and sell it and then divide the money.
Even so, the PPDC could not maintain its current size, and after more than five years, only four of the nearly thirty mechs that the PPDC now owned were finally left, many of which had to be abandoned because they did not have enough money to repair them.
Now Steck is already thinking that if the mecha is damaged, it will be directly transported to the base in Malaysia to be repaired at that time, as for the money spent, isn't the Malaysian base self-financed?
I have to say that after tasting the taste of lack of funds, Steck no longer has any psychological burden on defaulting on his debts.
In the classroom, the teacher points a laser pointer at the screen in front of a huge screen, and the age of the students in the classroom varies greatly, from middle-aged people in their thirties and forties to teenagers.
"Next, we will explain the body structure of the Kaiju beasts, they are silicon-based lifeforms, and they do not depend on oxygen to survive, and after research, their energy source mainly depends on internal circulation.
You see, there is a very unique structure under their skin, which we call amino colloids, which absorb the heat generated by the body when the chrysanthemum moves, and reuse this heat as energy.
Not only heat, but also the absorption of various energy waves by this unique structure is also very good, whether it is thermal imaging or infrared rays, they will be directly absorbed and cannot be returned, which is also the most important reason why conventional infrared and radar waves cannot detect and find Kaiju beasts......
It is precisely because of this that the penetration, high temperature, and explosive impact that conventional weapons rely on to cause damage will be effectively offset by the body structure of the Kaiju Beast, so before there is no mecha hunter, every time we destroy the Kaiju Beast, we must use super weapons of mass destruction.
On the contrary, the attack method used by the Mecha Hunter can inflict deeper damage on the Kaiju Beast, which can effectively reduce the kinetic energy cancellation caused by the tremor of the Kaiju Beast's skin and inner layer of amino colloids, and the Mecha Hunter is also equipped with a suitable melee weapon......"
The teacher on the stage continues to explain, and the students below are also very serious in learning, and can be recognized, the pilot who drives the mecha hunter and fights is called a ranger, and he is a global star-like existence, plus in the face of the huge threat of the chrysanthemum beast, the people who come here to learn are full of motivation.
"It's really a bit boring, and a lot of the theoretical things here are still researched by me." Locke couldn't help but complain, but thinking of the exclusive 'big toy' that was about to start construction in the final design, Locke still didn't leave, but his thinking was inevitably deserted and distracted.
Fortunately, Mecha Hunter not only has theoretical courses, but also a lot of physical training and simulation operations.
In the cold Alaskan wind, a total of about 300 students, all dressed in thin clothing, stood together in the playground and began to assemble on the playground.
The next thing is to train, and Locke, who knows some insiders, also understands that the purpose of this kind of high-intensity training is no longer to explore the potential of the human body, but to select talented academies.
In this world, there are not a few people who are willing to work hard and are willing to work hard, more than 7 billion people in the world, even if it is a strict requirement, it is still easy to find hundreds of thousands.
But to be qualified to drive a mecha hunter, you must not only be willing to work hard and work hard, but also have enough talent, otherwise you will not be able to bear the mental load of a mecha hunter.
Among the 7 billion people in the world, after selection, the final trainees in training are not hundreds, because there is no need to pair two people to drive the mecha together like in the original plot.
In the end, to be eligible to stay at PPDC and become a 'Ranger', to be able to be selected, in addition to personal effort, talent and even luck are extremely important.
Mecha Hunter has surpassed the limit of human mental load at this level, and the only way at present is to reduce the burden on the driver through artificial intelligence technology, but how much combat power can be exerted depends on the talent of the driver himself, otherwise it is better to directly control it remotely.
The appearance of Lena has set off a small wave among the students, just like in ancient times, men were more suitable for fighting, among mecha hunter pilots, the proportion of girls is not high, not to mention that there are still girls with beautiful faces like stars, supermodel figures, and the same super strength.
It was so popular that when it came to the cafeteria to serve food, Lena could only send away those students who came to talk to her with a blank face, and at the same time, Locke found that there were even female students who paid great attention to Lina.
Turning his head to look at the short-haired girl who was holding a plate and staring at Lina all the time, Locke recognized the other party at once, and waved his hand directly: "Hey, do you want to come over and eat together?" ”
Unexpectedly, the short-haired girl was like a frightened rabbit, and she directly lowered her head and ran away with a dinner plate.
"She's Mako Mori, right?" Lena looked at the back of the short-haired girl leaving, then lowered her head and compared, and said: "The personality seems to be a little introverted, the key is that it doesn't quite match your aesthetics, after all, it's ......"
"I don't have to treat the heroine before I go to a world, and I haven't had contact with the heroine in the world before."
After complaining, Locke continued: "When I trained before, you should have noticed it, her grades are the best, and she really deserves to be the heroine, her talent is very good, and she is very suitable for driving a mecha hunter." ”
Seeing Mako Mori leave, he didn't care too much, although she was the heroine, it didn't mean that Locke had to contact her, strictly speaking, mecha hunters were the protagonists of this world.
