American Comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"General, I think you have figured it out." On the virtual screen, a middle-aged congressman with a heavy face said: "The fourth-generation monster drove straight in through that [gap], and the Hunter Plan has not performed well in recent years.

It's unsatisfactory, especially in the past year, the battle loss ratio of you and your mecha hunters against the Kaiju beast has been increasing. This strategic plan no longer works."

"With the continuous increase in the number of attacks and the intensity of Kaiju beasts, there is no doubt that the Hunter Plan, which effectively curbed the deterioration of the situation, has not kept up with the times. It is no longer the steel line of defense worthy of everyone's trust.

." Another one of the nine people in the screen said.

"I fully know that the fall of every mecha hunter means more soldiers and people will be sacrificed, but..." Stike Panticost said with a serious expression, but before he could finish,

The nine congressmen on the virtual screen had interrupted him. Even though he ignored the interruption and wanted to finish his inner appeal and words, the people on the screen obviously did not let him finish.

the meaning of.

"I'll interrupt you again, General! Whether you admit it or not, the Hunter Plan is dead in name only. We have given you a buffer period of at least two years! Facing the increasingly worse situation, we have to find other better options.

The response method. The Hunter Plan is outdated." British Councilor Cole, an old man with gray hair, said expressionlessly.

"What's a better way to respond?" Stecker asked rhetorically.

"I think the coastal wall is a plan worth considering. It seems to have the highest success rate and highest protection currently." Councilor Cole replied.

"You would rather believe in an illusory wall that has not been verified than to believe in the hunter plan that has protected the world for ten years? This is not wise." Stike's eyes were calm: "What's more, the Kaiju beast named Huanda on the sea

, but it has wings at the end. If one day a Kaiju beast appears that can fly in the sky, can that wall that cost a huge amount of money to build really ensure the safety of the people?"

"Nonsense! Even if a monster with a huge size and weight has wings, it cannot fly under the gravity of this planet. This is common sense!" U.S. Congressman Taylor, a middle-aged man with a shrewd face said: "

We don't want to give up the hunter plan right away, you still have time to arrange everything. This is the world, and you always have to adapt to changes in times and needs.

The whole world will remember the contribution you and your troops have made to world security over the past ten years, General, and you will receive the honors you deserve. There are still eight months left before the complete completion of the wall project - the coastal lifeline.

, during these eight months, we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities and continue to fund and support you. But during these eight months, other hunter bases will also be closed one after another, and you can take your remaining machines with you.

A hunter warrior retreats to ppdc’s headquarters.”

"In other words, you will give up ppdc after eight months?" Stike asked.

"We have not given up on ppdc, we just no longer provide funds to ppdc's hunter plan." The only female congressman among the nine people said slyly.

"This is the final result we agreed on, this meeting is just a notification."

The figures on the screen disappeared one by one. A feeling of powerlessness emerged in Stike Penticost's heart, but soon he put this emotion behind him and forced himself to cheer up.

"I didn't expect them to be so stupid." Cai Tiantong, who watched all this, and Stike's friend, General Heike, said at the same time.

"It doesn't matter, we still have at least eight months." Stike Penticost said calmly. It's not the time to despair yet. He has experienced more things that are more worthy of despair than this, but he still has nothing to lose.

Got through it!

"Dr. Luke Field from Shaw Industries has sent an appointment. He wants to come to ppdc tomorrow to visit the general and discuss some cooperation." Cai Tiantong suddenly said.

"The manufacturer of the sixth-generation machine?" Stike Penticost was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, he said he can provide us with some necessary help." Cai Tiantong read the official information from Shaw Industries.

"Promise him. I also want to meet him." Stike Penticost responded. He only knows two things about Shaw Industries, one is that he has technology, and the other is that he is very rich! These two points are just right.

These are all what ppdc needs now. Of course, it is not ruled out that Shaw Industries wants to join forces with ppdc to keep warm. After all, the wall faction has gained momentum and ppdc has become an outcast. As the leader of the world's largest mecha industry chain, Shaw Industries' life is certain.

It won't be easy. Maybe the other party has heard something beforehand. After all, once the major member countries start to withdraw their investment and the Hunter Project is completely shelved and abandoned, then if Shaw Industries still wants to operate the industrial chain generated by the Mecha Hunter Project,

The only customer seems to be ppdc. Judging from this situation, the decision-makers of both parties should indeed meet.

…

ppdc headquarters.

Shattered Dome.

A tall mecha hunter, without being hung by a heavy transport helicopter, quickly landed with fire gushing from its feet in a shocking manner. The broken dome was specially reinforced, and the parking deck that allowed the mecha hunter to fight on it was all

It trembled slightly. Then, the skull-like mecha hunter opened the palm of his left hand in front of everyone, and softly popped out a silver-white cylindrical metal body with a radius of about one meter from the palm, and a section of the deck slid out.

After a short distance, he stopped in front of Stike and others who were waiting on the deck.

The next moment, the cylindrical metal body slid open a door, and a young figure took off his silver-white helmet and walked out.

"Cool, I like this way of appearing!" The somewhat neurotic Herman Gottlieb could see that he liked this unusual way of appearing, and lowered his voice to his colleague and friend Newton Gay.

Sler said. However, Newton Geisler ignored him at all, but looked at a silver-white mechanical body that came out behind the young figure with a look of surprise. That's right! The axe! That was the original Kaiju.

beast!

"Show off your power." Stike Panticost looked at the person approaching, said something to his friend General Heike beside him, and stepped forward to greet him.

"I think it's more like a show of strength." Cai Tiantong, who rarely came out to greet guests, followed, glanced left and right, and came to Newton and the others.

"Welcome, Dr. Luke! I thought you would come by helicopter." Stike Panticost said.

"Mr. Shao took a helicopter, but he couldn't come over until the afternoon after he finished his work. I was too anxious, so I drove Curtullo ahead." Luke Field took the hand offered by Steck and shook it.

He let go twice. A crowd of people around them dispersed densely, surrounding the two of them and walking towards the base.

In the elevator, Newton Geisler looked at the mechanical ax that was following the elevator step by step, and couldn't help but asked: "Is this the first generation Kaiju beast ax?"

"Obviously." Luke Field nodded.

"Is it rigged?"

"I programmed an intelligent system for it so that it can move on its own."

"This is so cool! I love it. I mean, can I touch it? It won't trigger any of its security protocols, right?"

"Feel free to touch it, its program is very rigorous and stable, and your logical judgment is no problem."

"Awesome! It's really beautiful. I never thought that Kaijumon combined with machinery would be so beautiful! Do you like Kaijumon too? I've always wanted to study living specimens, but unfortunately, I can

Those who study it are all dead."

"Okay, Newton, let me talk to Dr. Luke first. When we entertain him at lunch time, you will have enough time to talk. Even if we have a harmonious chat today, then Dr. Luke will have a good time in the future.

I will often come to the Broken Dome Base." The elevator stopped, and Stike Pentecost walked away, interrupting Newton's chattering questions.

Luke followed Stike to the main control room of the base in Broken Dome, which is also Stike's office. After he took Luke to sit down in a small office of his own, he looked at Luke Field and said: "Now you can say

Did you talk about Shaw Industries, or what your purpose is? Or do you want to wait for Mr. Shao to come over? "

"PPDC is in a bad predicament, isn't it? Although Shaw Industries can't do anything about the situation ppdc is facing, it is willing to contribute."

"Funds?" Stike's eyes lit up. Although he knew that Shaw Industries had money, it was impossible to really afford ppdc. But if Shaw Industries was willing to support and provide some funds, at least ppdc could be supported.

Life is better, and at worst, we can linger on for a few more days.

"More than that." Luke Field took out his mobile phone, tapped on the screen, then placed it on the table next to him and connected it to the virtual projection equipment in the office. "There is also a full set of technical support from Shaw Industries.

!”

"What do you, or rather Shaw Industries, want?" Stike Panticost's eyes were calm. He knew that the other party's efforts would not be without the desired return.

"PPDC has mastered a complete set of mecha hunter technologies." Luke Field said.

"This is impossible!" Stike Panticost became furious and flatly refused. There have been people in ppdc who privately sold some mecha hunter design drawings and technology, and most of those people are now in prison.

"Why don't you take a look at what I can bring you first?" Luke Field calmly started working on the virtual projection.

"The production technology of each Mecha Hunter is a secret! And the complete set of Mecha Hunter production technology is the crystallization of the wisdom shared by all member states and non-member states in the past ten years! Although the technology of Shaw Industries is very powerful, it is different from many

Compared to the country..." Stike Panticost was about to continue to veto, but the next moment, when he saw the technical information projected by Luke, he was confused!
