American Comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

There was a knock on the door, and after receiving permission to enter, a woman with glasses and a capable look walked in and reported to Shao Zhiwenhui at the window.

"Mr. Shao, there is news from ppdc that a level four Kaiju beast named Kuangda is about to land on the sea. They have sent Shaolin Ranger and Baofeng Chihong to stop it."

"I understand, follow the previous defensive measures." Shao Zhiwen was very calm when he heard the news, and did not panic because of the imminent landing of Kaiju Beast. This is not only because the headquarters of ppdc is not far away, but the storm

The two mechas Chihong and Shaolin Ranger will arrive soon to support him, especially because he has other trump cards.

At least, it is impossible for Shaw Industries to suffer any big losses in this Kaiju Beast attack. At most, they are just some insignificant losses.

But he was also lamenting in his heart that this year was really a troubled year. The frequency and intensity of attacks by Kaiju beasts suddenly increased this year. Many places have been attacked and destroyed by Kaiju beasts, and even many places were attacked by Kaiju beasts.

Many Mecha Hunters were damaged and destroyed in the high-frequency battles. The situation that was relatively stable before suddenly became worse.

Help is needed everywhere.

The support of Mecha Hunters is needed everywhere. The number of existing Mecha Hunters is stretched due to high frequency of battle losses, and is even unevenly distributed in some cases.

Of course, if you ask why in such a tense situation, the sea is threatened by Kaiju beasts, and ppdc can immediately assign two Mecha Hunters to come to support, then you are ignorant!

Shaolin Ranger.

The storm is red.

These two mechas were built by ppdc with investment, technology, and manpower, but the majority of the capital, technical manpower, etc. came from China. In other words, these two mechas were manufactured domestically and provided to ppdc for use. Although ppdc is

An alliance organization, all mecha hunters are nominally affiliated to the ppdc organization for overall management and combat arrangements, but the rules are rules. In fact, everyone knows that the various member states behind the ppdc cannot be truly selfless.

Follow the rules.

Just do the math and you'll know.

In the past, military creations, whether tanks or aircraft carriers, etc., most of their service periods were at least ten or twenty years in stable periods! If nothing else, the same can be said for mecha hunters, but mechas

Not only is the Hunter's cost high, but because it has to fight with the Kaiju Beast, its damage rate is also extremely high! Any Mecha Hunter that can last for four or five years without being thrown into the dump can be considered an old-timer.

.Old-generation aircraft like Cherno Alpha that have survived for nearly ten years and have been continuously repaired, updated and upgraded without being decommissioned due to battle damage are simply miraculous living fossils!

In fact, as the Kaiju Beast's strength continues to increase and upgrade, Mecha Hunters are forced to upgrade as well. In recent years, the technology has matured and stabilized quite well, but the first and second generations of Mecha Hunters are miserable because of the

Due to lack of understanding of Kikumon's fighting methods and immaturity in technology, it is normal for it to be scrapped or even eliminated in a year or two during the battle with Kaikumon.

Every time a mecha hunter goes out, it's a big gamble!

Maybe it can continuously refresh its own honor, or maybe it will fall in the next battle with Kaijumon.

So the question is, if you are the leader of a member country, are you willing to take huge risks for no reason and casually send out your own self-assembled mecha hunters to show your love?

Yes, when the ppdc organization was first established, everyone cooperated closely. Scientist groups from various countries worked together to work hard for the Hunter Project. Most of the member states also sincerely asked for money, people, and people.

What is given is given, and there is enthusiasm and love for helping each other. In addition to the big brother in the organization who draws blood a little more vigorously, which makes people pay a little more, each franchise country has indeed received many benefits from it. Many of them did not have much hard work in the first place.

Member states with industrial strength can build their own mechas with the help of the alliance, and the blood they have drawn from their big brother is regarded as payment for knowledge and help.

But in the past year, haven't Kaiju beasts been attacking more and more frequently, and have become more powerful and difficult to deal with? What's even worse is that, eleven years have passed, and everyone's economy has not been very good. In the past,

You can spend money and technology regardless of the cost, just like dumplings on the factory mecha hunter, but now it really can't be done.

After eleven years, the latest generation of Hunter Project mechas is the fifth generation!

This kind of speed of upgrading is simply unbelievable when it comes to military creations!

How long does it take for airplanes to go from the first generation to the fifth generation?

Nearly 100 years!

Even if the first-generation Mecha Hunter uses the latest technology from member countries, it still has many problems, especially the weight, which is generally more than 7,800 tons and close to 8,000 tons! The second generation is around 5,000 tons.

However, since the third and fourth generations, with the same height and improved combat effectiveness, how much does a top mecha hunter weigh? Around 2,000 tons! Using this as the dividing line, there is also a division of less than 2,000 tons.

, that is, Mecha Hunters, which are generally around 1,700 tons, are assassin-type warriors that are more flexible and have relatively weak defense. Above 2,000 tons, they focus on improving armor, that is, they are heavy armored warriors.

The first generation of mecha was launched in 2015.

The second generation mecha was developed in 2016 and then released.

The third-generation mecha, the famous Danger Wanderer, was released in 2017.

The fourth-generation mecha, Storm Red, was released in 2018.

The fifth-generation mecha Eureka Raider, the only fifth-generation mecha in the first part of Pacific Rim, was released in 2019!

However, the time now is 2024. In five years, no new generation of mecha hunters has been released. Even the fifth-generation machine still only has the one shipped in 2019.

Why was it that in the past, technology upgrades were like landslides and earth-shattering, with earth-shaking changes happening every year, but then after 2019, the new generation of mobile phones was difficult to produce?

Because the achievements before 2019 were the result of various member states working together to spend money regardless of the cost in order to deal with the threat of the Kaiju beast, using manpower and funds plus a little bit of luck!

Why did people start to stretch their hips after 2019? That’s because the member states have suffered internal injuries from their arrogant spending of money in the past few years. In addition, the existing mecha technology can already cope with the current intensity of Kaiju beasts. Without it,

When a stronger Kaijumon appears, there is no need to invest as much as before regardless of the cost.

In other words, even if those in power who previously invested heavily in the Hunter Plan still want to invest as much as before, most of them have no choice. The domestic economies of each member country are in a sluggish state, and the number of people who are unemployed and hungry is increasing.

There are more and more people who are dissatisfied with government members. Coupled with the ten-year election period, most of them who are die-hard supporters of the Hunter Project have already lost their status.

Those who replaced them were the so-called wall sects.

You know, for high-end projects like the Hunter Plan, companies without any scientific research strength should not think about it, and people without any knowledge or ability should not get involved. To put it simply, the benefits are not low, but the threshold is extremely high. And this threshold is many

It is beyond the reach of ordinary people and enterprises in member countries, so the subsidies and so on that the Hunter Plan can enjoy naturally have nothing to do with them.

But building a city wall is a hard work that most people can do! It will take several years to complete such a large project. How much manpower does it require? How much money is available here?

The people are simple. Of course they are afraid of attacks by Kaiju beasts. However, some people in power and scientists with financial backers stand up and make a guarantee that building a wall can block monsters below level four. We can build a wall within the wall as we did ten years ago.

The yearning and hope for a stable life and work, as well as the repeated defeats and damage of the Mecha Hunters in the past year, are enough to make them brainlessly support this project!

Are there any sober people?

Of course!

Is it useful for them to come forward?

Useless!

Faced with the people who have been incited and aroused in their hearts, and faced with the disappointing mecha hunters who have suffered frequent defeats in the past year, under the influence of multiple factors, the so-called wall faction has taken control of the general trend! If the wall is indeed

If the monsters can be stopped, the congressmen, scientists, and businessmen who support the Wall Faction will become heroes that people praise by word of mouth just like the original initiators of the Hunter Plan!

Although this plan sounds unreliable to sober people, people who are in great need of hope because of economic problems will automatically block those problems and think in the best direction before the worst situation occurs.

, and whoever dares to oppose will be criticized.

As for the fifth-generation monster that cannot be stopped by the wall, what should we do?

Then didn’t Congressman So-and-so say that there are still existing mechas that can be used? It’s not like the Hunter plan was abandoned immediately. What’s more, the subsequent fences will continue to be reinforced, maintained, and built!

The main militant faction, that is, the supporters of the Hunter Plan, faced with the surging public opinion, the pig teammates who were holding back, used various methods to smear and criticize political opponents, many people fell down, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, and the public opinion position had the right to speak.

In the past few years, especially in the past year, it has been completely lost. Under this situation, even if the leaders of a very small number of member states are still awake, there is no way to recover.

This is the general trend.

It is so vast that those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it will perish.

The country still wants to try to maintain the existence of the alliance and the Hunter Plan, but what can it do when many member countries, including the leading brother American Eagle, are switching to the wall plan?

Can one country support the entire ppdc?

Do not make jokes!

R&D investment, mecha maintenance, labor costs, mecha repairs, and new generation construction. Every year is a dizzying amount of expenditure!

A gold-swallowing organization with dozens of member states that are almost unable to support it is really going to die as soon as it is raised.

Therefore, in recent years, the member states behind ppdc have no longer had the close cooperation before. Everyone is building their own monster walls. Most of the mechas developed by themselves have been in their own bases for a long time.

In a year's time, the attitude is to sweep away the snow in front of everyone.

If you need help, can you give me some money or resources?

Not giving?

Then why should I let the mecha hunters in my base risk damage to help you? In our base, we are responsible for at least one-third of the mecha construction, technology, money, and maintenance.

After a mission, even if you can return safely, the subsequent energy replenishment, body inspection, and overall maintenance will all cost money!

You said this was an order from Marshal Stike Panticost of ppdc headquarters?

We also need the protection of the mecha hunters for the time being! We are also facing the threat of Kaiju beasts, and we are powerless to deal with you. What's more, you can find a closer hunter base for help.

This is a strong trend.

Even Stike Penticost, the Marshal of the ppdc, was powerless to stop this kind of obsessive behavior from member states.

In name, he is the marshal and the highest person in charge of ppdc, and can manage all affairs of ppdc. But in fact, as a marshal, what he can really pay attention to and be responsible for is only most of the matters related to the hunter project. But the management of the base

, they must come from various member states, especially the eight bases established in other member states. Most of their staff must be recruited from the local area. Among the bases, there will definitely be officials from member states stationed to serve in certain

An important position, holding a certain amount of power.

For example, finance!

As long as the ppdc has the shadow and support of various member states behind it, Stike Panticost will always be the marshal of the ppdc in name only. There are too many things that he needs to compromise on and cannot make decisions on.

As the head of Shaw Industries, he is a little worried about the possible stranding of the Hunter Project. After all, as the world's most famous mecha industrial chain supplier, he needs to prepare for a rainy day even if there is a way out. Although

He said that even if there was no way out and he only relied on the mature mecha industry chain, he would not worry about reaching a situation like nearly bankruptcy three years ago.

After all, the amount of funds that many Pacific Rim member countries have invested in the Hunter Project in the past ten years is astonishing. How can the technology obtained through research and development, construction technology, etc. be given up casually? Even if it takes a few years.

In the cold winter, the industries extended by the Hunter Project technology alone are enough to maintain the development of Shaw Industries.

What's more, he also has Luke Field, who brought Shaw Brothers Industries back to life!

Thinking of Luke, Shao Zhiwen turned around and asked his secretary: "Where is Dr. Luke now?"

The female secretary looked at the tablet in her arms and reported: "Dr. Luke is in the G3 Hunter Factory. The sixth-generation mecha Kurtulo developed by Luke's laboratory is about to be assembled. He is on site."

"Oh, has he finally finished his big toy?" Shao Zhiwen smiled, his eyes full of excitement. Although it was a big toy, he also understood that as the world's first sixth-generation aircraft

A, even if the current trend is not good, its release will definitely attract a lot of attention. This is a good thing for Shaw Industries!

After all, those who were able to build Mecha Hunters before were all at the national level!

If Luke Field's sixth-generation mecha Kurtullo can really be tested successfully, then Shaw Industries will be setting a precedent!

The first company to build a Mecha Hunter on its own!

The first company to single-handedly build the world's most advanced and only sixth-generation mecha!

No matter which statement is used, it proves that Shaw Industries' industrial strength, manufacturing technology, and R&D capabilities are far beyond those of its peers, and it is the only one among its peers!
