Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 579
[Chapter 576: Eat, Sleep, and Fight Monsters]
When David and his companions came to this world, it was the end of 2015.
After a short training at the Broken Dome Base, they went to the Hunter Academy to receive training to become Jaeger pilots, and stayed at the Jaeger Mecha Factory for quite a long time.
Before they knew it, it was already 2018.
The latest fourth-generation Jaeger mecha Storm Red has been officially completed, and it has been continuously tested during manufacturing. After the mecha has been fully tested, it can be officially put into service and join the Broken Dome in Hong Kong.
“David, Kara, Ashan, the Storm Red full machine startup test is about to begin, are you ready?”
This is not the first time for the three of them to conduct a startup test, but before, they were all partial function tests. This is the first time for several people to start a complete Jaeger mecha.
“Let’s start!”
Storm Red uses the latest developed three-person cockpit, which is arranged in an inverted triangle with two in front and one in the back. David is at the back, and Hu Huishan and Kara stand side by side in the front. The
Red Storm with David’s participation in the test is very different from the Red Storm in the original plot.
First of all, the three arms that were very distinctive in the original plot were cancelled after David complained about them.
Storm Red no longer had three arms, and the hand that could be transformed into a chainsaw blade was changed to an electric drill.
According to David, although the blade chainsaw has a good cutting effect, the wound is too shallow to hurt the monster’s vitals. It is better to change it to an electric drill to stab into the body, and then launch missiles or freezing liquid from the inside. In any case, it is more powerful than the original so-called “thunder cloud formation”.
In addition, the plasma cannon that was originally installed only on the left arm was also changed to have one on both arms.
In other words, the Storm Red in this world and the Storm Red in the original plot can be regarded as two different Jaeger mechas, just with the same name and color scheme.
David feels it is a pity that according to his idea, there are still many places on the Storm Red that can be equipped with weapons, and one of the advantages of three-person driving is that one person’s energy can be divided to be responsible for the fire control system, so that Storm Red can use various weapons better and faster in battle.
In that case, the combat effectiveness will definitely rise to a higher level. Unfortunately, some of his later suggestions were not adopted.
“The connection has been successfully established…”
The three people’s bodies shook slightly. This state of you in me, me in you, and I know your thoughts at any time, the three of them are already very familiar.
At the same time, various feedbacks from the Jaeger mecha were also transmitted. For David and Kara, it was not much different from the previous part of the test. Only Hu Huishan felt a clear sense of heaviness – this feeling was as if she had become countless times heavier, and it took more effort than usual to take action.
But that’s all. For Hu Huishan now, this burden will not make her feel uncomfortable.
In fact, even Hu Huishan now has the qualities to drive the Jaeger mecha alone. At most, the burden and consumption of the body after driving is relatively large, unlike David and Kara, there will be no side effects.
“Storm Red was successfully started, everything is normal.”
After successfully completing several rounds of tests, the three people’s days became leisurely.
In addition to being on standby at the base and being ready to attack at any time, no one restricted what they could do. Usually, you can arrange your time and activities freely, but in order to ensure your own condition and ensure that you are always ready to attack, the pilots will exercise spontaneously.
Therefore, there are various exercise equipment and facilities in the Broken Dome, as well as a special venue for people to learn from each other.
Hu Huishan likes to come here, and she competes with David in fighting skills almost every day, as if this can help her learn the Holy Light better.
Kara prefers to go to spacious and sunny places.
As for David? He doesn’t have a favorite place. He wanders around the base all day. Everyone believes that there is no place in the entire Broken Dome that David has not been to.
It is also in this leisurely daily life that Storm Red finally ushered in his first official attack: the mission target is to go to Osaka with Cheno Alpha to deal with an invading monster.
The Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force is very cautious about every monster invasion. Whenever conditions permit, the idle mechas of several bases will fight together.
Ensure that the monster can be eliminated while maximizing the preservation of one’s own combat power.
Because the cost of each Jaeger mecha is very amazing, it takes time and effort to manufacture, and if it is seriously damaged, it will take at least several months to repair it.
If the Pacific Rim defense line was hit several times in a row, it might collapse, and the commanders had no choice but to be cautious.
But soon, the commanders found that their caution was meaningless.
Before the Cherno Alpha arrived at the designated battlefield, the Storm Red driven by David, Kara and Hu Huishan had successfully killed the monster that wanted to land in Osaka.
The whole battle process fully demonstrated what it meant to be fast, ruthless and accurate!
The flexibility of the new generation of mechas was fully demonstrated by the three new pilots. When the monster faced Storm Red, it was not called powerless to fight back, but was simply unilaterally pressed and hammered. What is
even more amazing is that Storm Red’s flexible movement and positioning do not show that this is a giant robot as high as 76 meters.
Finally, Storm Red pierced the monster’s body with its right arm transformed into a drill. At the same time, the coolant sprayed from the inside not only killed the monster, but also ensured that the pollution of the monster’s corpse to the earth was reduced to the lowest level.
“After the fight, call it a day!”
The commanders who paid attention to the performance of Storm Red throughout the whole process immediately realized that they had picked up a treasure.
The combination of David, Kara and Hu Huishan is likely to become the strongest combination of Jaeger pilots. They have gained a group of powerful ace pilots, which means that the safety of the Xiangjiang base in the next few years will be guaranteed.
In addition, Storm Red’s performance also proved that there was no mistake in the development route of the new generation of mechas. They began to look forward to the world’s first fifth-generation mecha that has begun to be built.
At this time, the three people who were the focus of discussion were complaining in the cockpit that the monster was too weak.
“If it was only this level, I could kill it with my bare hands.” Kara felt that her heat rays could easily penetrate the monster’s skin, and even without heat rays, she could beat the monster to death with her fists and feet.
“When you have enough fun and want to go back, you can put on the Kryptonian suit and do this once.”
In addition to monsters and various entertainment products related to monsters and Jaeger mechas, this world also has those familiar comic works.
If Kara put on that highly recognizable tights, I wonder what the people in this world would react?
They were still in a state of synaesthesia. Kara and Hu Huishan knew what David thought of.
Hu Huishan rolled her eyes speechlessly, but Kara thought it seemed interesting to do so, and maybe she could try it.
The Red Storm won the first battle and returned triumphantly. David, Kara and Hu Huishan were warmly welcomed. With this outstanding performance, they were accepted by everyone from the bottom of their hearts.
The most obvious thing is that when they were active in the base, everyone would greet them when they saw them, and they began to truly integrate into the life of this world.
Hu Huishan and David did not talk, and Kara also found the joy of living here for a long time. She finally stopped being a loner like before. Even when she lived in Winter City, she was only close to a few people.
Kara, who made friends, secretly made up her mind to bring real security to this world: monsters and the like, don’t think about invading this world anymore.
Kara, who was originally a bit lazy, suddenly found the direction of her efforts, and even Hu Huishan was pulled forward.
In the next few years, Storm Red had a very amazing record, killing five monsters in a row without any serious damage.
These monsters were killed without even touching the paint of Storm Red, and this was when David was paddling all the time and didn’t really take action.
During this time, Hu Huishan, who was led forward by Kara, suddenly realized something. She felt that she seemed to have touched the threshold of holy light, but she didn’t know how long it would take to push open the door.
On the contrary, Kara suddenly awakened the holy light.
“…”
In addition to the changes of the two women, some other things have happened in the past few years.
Steck-Pentecost was promoted to the marshal of the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force, commanding all the Jaeger mechas and several Broken Dome bases.
David’s former roommate Cai Tiantong became the chief technology officer of the Anchorage base, responsible for support work.
The Beckett brothers became the drivers of the Dangerous Wanderers. In the battle with the monster not long ago, Yanxi-Beckett unfortunately died.
David did not change the fact that Yanxi died in the battle. Anyway, he made preparations in advance and could revive Yanxi later.
By the way, he dug up Rowley, Mori Mazi and the others to Winter City. These are all excellent fighters and drivers. It is a waste to stay here. It is better to go to Winter City to continue to shine.
Including Steck-Pentecost, after digging him to Winter City, he was equipped with a pair of heavy armor and a two-handed heavy sword. I wonder what Thor’s reaction will be after seeing it?
As for the various problems of these people, such as Pentecost’s body being on the verge of collapse due to radiation, it was nothing to David. Winter City had enough means to cure his body.
With these calculations in mind, time passed day by day, and David lived a life like Ultraman: eating, sleeping, and fighting monsters.
With such a regular life, the day when the plot officially begins is approaching, and those who are targeted by him have also come to the Broken Dome Base in Xiangjiang one after another.
