"You're going too risky." After listening to Locke, Steck thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I need a guarantee. ”

"Within two months, another Horizon Warrior will complete the transformation of autonomous driving, reaching the level of the fourth generation of mechas." Locke said without hesitation:

"In addition, the destructive power of the Kaiju Beast is getting stronger and stronger, and the existing mecha hunters with weak armor are no longer appropriate, and I can be responsible for the armor enhancement and transformation of these mecha hunters."

……

The appearance of the world's first fourth-level chrysanthemum beast Shan Lan caused an uproar, and at the same time, it also dealt a heavy blow to this world that had become chaotic.

The experts who had previously shouted that the fourth-level chrysanthemum beast could not even exist theoretically shut up, and even the look in the eyes of ordinary people who regarded the chrysanthemum beast as a joke had disappeared.

Even in the face of the siege, Shan Lan still severely damaged the fourth generation of mecha mammoth apostles, which also made people's blind confidence in mecha hunters begin to dissipate, and even some people finally began to realize again that this was actually an asymmetrical battle, and it was self-evident who was the weaker side.

After the collapse of blind confidence, the stock market also ushered in a disaster, countless people went bankrupt, the banking system was also severely hit, many people chose to withdraw their money from the bank, major supermarkets lined up, and all kinds of supplies were snapped up.

In the midst of this disaster, the stock price of the Li Group also ushered in a big dive, but Locke had been prepared for a long time, but instead made a large fortune in the financial market, and also earned most of the money needed to help the armor of the existing mechhunters of the PPDC to be transformed, but the situation in the world, which had barely stabilized, became turbulent again.

In February 2019, the third-level Kaiju beast named Fury Wave invaded Busan, South Korea.

Simply absorbed the previous lesson, PPDC was also prepared, in addition to the Japanese mecha Echo Saber and the invisible ronin dispatch, it also mobilized Storm Crimson and Shaolin Ranger to successfully kill this chrysanthemum beast.

But even so, the Invisible Ronin was badly damaged, and Steck and Locke discussed it for a long time before Locke agreed to overhaul the Invisible Ronin at cost price

At this time, Locke put most of his energy on the new sixth-generation mecha hunters, after all, because of the butterfly effect he brought, the pioneers on the other side of the wormhole were not idle, and there was no such thing as parasitic chrysanthemum beasts in the original plot.

After all, the pioneer is not the boss in the game, and can only send fixed subordinates to death one by one according to the mechanism, but has been constantly adjusting to the actual situation of the invasion of the chrysanthemum beast.

At the same time, except for two revamped Horizon Warriors, which were delivered to PPDC, they were deployed at the Hong Kong and Tokyo bases.

The other is the armor upgrade of the Mammoth Apostle, this mecha is typical, and the design was biased towards lightweight from the beginning, so it was broken through twice in the original plot, and finally had to be cleaned up by dangerous wanderers.

Fortunately, the Mammoth Apostle's engine is powerful enough and the weapons are strong enough, and Locke has spent a lot of time redesigning and strengthening its armor, hoping to avoid the situation of the original story.

Ever since they realized that the Kaiju Beast would appear in a steady stream, humans have been trying their best to develop weapons that can deal effective blows against the Kaiju Beast.

But so far, the results obtained are not ideal, mainly because there are few opportunities for actual testing, and the weapons used by many mecha hunters are actually experimental weapons and equipment.

Therefore, each Mecha Hunter is equipped with different main battle weapons.

General Chrome is armed with a flamethrower, while the Blue Romeo is a three-barreled large-caliber cannon.

The Ion Cannon originally equipped by the Dangerous Wanderer is also an experimental version, with a range of only fifty meters, that is, it has recently received technical support from Locke, and the improved Ion Cannon has increased its range several times and can be used remotely.

There are also microwave weapons used by the Mammoth Apostle, and electric shock weapons on the fists of the Corinthian Giant Serpent, all of which are weapons developed by scientific researchers to target the Kaiju Beast.

Naturally, Locke was also involved in the research of Kaiju Beast's weapons, and even the 'Anti-Kaiju Missile' that eliminated Kaiju Beasts such as the Axe Head in the early days was further improved as a weapon to destroy Kaiju Beasts before the Mecha Hunter appeared.

However, because its killing range is too wide, it is easy to cause accidental injury, coupled with the characteristics of the Kaiju Beast, although such a missile itself is not polluted, it cannot avoid killing the Kaiju Beast at the same time, allowing a large amount of Kaiju Beast's blood to spread.

To this end, Locke redeveloped a weapon based on the characteristics of the Kaiju Beast - Armor Shattering Bullet.

This is designed according to the characteristics of the Kaiju Beast, using a plastic charge and a time-delay fuse, after hitting the Kaiju Beast, the characteristic ultra-thin eggshell will break.

At this time, the plastic explosive in the armor fragmentation bullet will accumulate on the surface of the target under the action of inertia, and explode after a short delay.

The stress wave generated by the explosion will be reflected back again after penetrating the surface of the target, and finally form a superimposed reflected tensile stress wave, which will directly collapse the inner layer of the target.

The Chrysanthemum's resilient skin and thick amino colloidal body can block most of the kinetic energy and heat of the weapon, but the principle of damage caused by armor shattering bullets is similar to smashing a wall with a hammer, the side that is smashed may not be significantly damaged, but the other side may collapse.

In other words, as long as the caliber is large enough, a broken armor bullet will be equivalent to fiercely holding an oversized hammer to hit the Kaiju Beast fiercely.

Based on this principle, Locke designed the Armor Shattering Missile, which uses a solid rocket to accelerate the speed of the missile to supersonic speed in a short period of time, and cooperates with directional blasting to hit the Kaiju Beast, and concentrates on exploding in the direction of the Kaiju Beast.

Of course, in order to add an excess amount of plastic explosives, the range will be very close, and the effective range is about two hundred meters, but the mecha hunter against the Kaiju Beast originally relied on close combat, and the range problem was not a big deal.

In addition, in the process of designing and building the first sixth-generation mech, Locke also made a lot of improvements to the existing mecha hunter design, such as the support structure and internal frame.

Because of experimenting with a lot of new technologies, Locke found that this new sixth-generation mecha hunter Adam could not fully meet his requirements, and even when it was being built, Locke came up with many new ideas.

So after trying his hand at driving, Locke decided to redesign and build a mech himself, and as for the newly built 'Adam', he planned to choose a pilot to pilot it.

According to Locke's understanding, there are now more than 100 pilots in the Hunter Academy, and most of them have lowered their requirements before they are recruited to the Dao Hunter Academy.

Among them, there are only a dozen pilots who are really capable enough, and now most of them already have their own mechas, and the top of them are several plot characters that appear in the plot, such as the Beckett brothers, Chuck Hansen, Mori Mako, etc.

Locke intends to choose one of these men to be Adam's driver.
