"Your idea is too risky." After hearing what Locke said, Stike 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 and reach the level of the fourth generation mecha." Locke said without hesitation:

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

…

The emergence of Shanlan, the world's first level four Kaiju Beast, caused an uproar and also dealt a heavy blow to a world that had become chaotic.

The experts who had previously clamored that the fourth-level Kaijumon was even theoretically impossible have shut up, and even the look in the eyes of ordinary people who regarded the Kaijumon as a joke has disappeared.

Even in the face of the siege, Shan Lan still severely damaged the fourth-generation mecha Mammoth Apostle, which also made people's blind confidence in mecha hunters begin to dissipate. Some people even finally began to realize again that this was actually an asymmetric battle. It is self-evident who is the weak one.

After the collapse of blind confidence, the stock market also ushered in a disaster. Countless people went bankrupt and the banking system was severely hit. Many people chose to withdraw their money from the bank. Long queues formed in major supermarkets and various supplies were snapped up. .

During this disaster, the Li Group's stock price also experienced a big plunge, but Locke had been prepared for it long ago. Instead, he ended up making a lot of money in the financial market, and also earned money to help PPDC's existing mecha hunters. Most of the funds needed to transform the armor, but the situation in the world that had barely stabilized became turbulent again.

In February 2019, a third-level Kaiju beast named Furious Waves invaded Busan, South Korea. Like Shan Lan, this Kaiju beast used synergistic parasitism, and its overall radiation dose was slightly weaker than Shan Lan.

Simply absorbing the previous lessons, PPDC was also prepared. In addition to the Japanese mecha Echo Saber and Stealth Ronin, Storm Crimson and Shaolin Ranger were also mobilized to successfully kill the Kaiju Beast.

But even so, the Invisible Ronin was severely damaged. Stike and Locke discussed for a long time before Locke agreed to overhaul the Invisible Ronin at the cost price.

At this time, Locke put most of his energy on the new sixth-generation mecha hunter. After all, because of the butterfly effect he brought, the pioneers at the other end of the wormhole were not idle either. There was no parasitic attack in the original plot. Chrysanthemum beast and the like.

After all, the Pioneer is not the BOSS in the game. He can only send out fixed men one by one to die according to the mechanism. Instead, he has been constantly adjusting to the actual situation of the Kaiju Beast invasion.

At the same time, except for two modified Horizon Warriors, they were delivered to PPDC and were deployed at the Hong Kong base and Tokyo base respectively.

The other is the upgrade of the Mammoth Apostle's armor. This mecha is a typical example. It was designed to be lightweight from the beginning, so it was broken through twice in the original plot, and in the end the Dangerous Wanderer had to clean up the mess.

Fortunately, the Mammoth Apostle engine has enough power and the weapons are strong enough. Locke spent a lot of time to redesign and strengthen its armor, hoping to avoid the situation in the original plot.

Ever since they realized that Kaiju beasts would continue to appear, humans have been trying their best to develop weapons that can effectively attack Kaiju beasts.

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

Therefore, the main battle weapons equipped by each mecha hunter are different.

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

The ion cannon originally equipped by the Dangerous Wanderer was also an experimental version with a range of only fifty meters. Recently, with the technical support from Locke, the improved ion cannon's range has been increased several times and can be used remotely.

There are also microwave weapons used by the Mammoth Apostles and the electric shock weapons on the fists of the Corinthian Serpents. They are all weapons developed by scientific researchers to target Kaiju beasts.

Locke was naturally involved in the research on Kaiju beast weapons. Even the "anti-Kaiju beast" that eliminated Ax and other Kaiju beasts in the early stage was further improved and used as a weapon to eliminate Kaiju beasts before the emergence of Mecha Hunters. .

However, because its killing range is too wide, it is easy to cause accidental damage. In addition, due to the characteristics of the Kaiju beast, although such a missile itself is not polluted, it cannot avoid killing the Kaiju beast and spreading a large amount of Kaiju beast's blood.

For this reason, Locke re-developed a weapon based on the characteristics of the Kaiju Beast - armor-breaking bullets.

This is designed based on the characteristics of Kaijumon. It uses plastic charge and delayed fuse. After hitting Kaijumon, the special ultra-thin eggshell will break.

At this time, the plastic explosive in the armor-breaking bomb will accumulate on the target surface 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 target surface layer, eventually forming a superimposed reflected tensile stress wave, which directly collapses the inner layer of the target.

Kaijumon's tough skin and thick amino colloid can isolate the kinetic energy and heat of most weapons, but the principle of damage caused by armor-breaking bullets is similar to using a hammer to smash a wall. The side that is hit may be damaged. It's less obvious, but the other side can collapse.

In other words, as long as the caliber is large enough, if an armor-breaking bullet passes by, it is equivalent to hitting the Kaiju beast hard with an oversized hammer.

Based on this principle, Locke designed an armor-breaking missile, using solid rockets to accelerate the missile speed to supersonic speeds in a short period of time, and combined with directional blasting, it hit the Kaiju beast and concentrated its explosive force in the direction of the Kaiju beast.

Of course, in order to install an excessive amount of plastic explosives, the range will be very short, and the effective range is only about two hundred meters. However, the mecha hunter relies on close combat to fight the Kaiju beast, so the range issue is not a big deal.

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

Because he tested many new technologies, Locke found that this new sixth-generation mecha hunter Adam could not fully meet the requirements he needed. Even during the construction, Locke came up with many new ideas.

So after trying out the driving, Locke decided to redesign and build a mecha himself. As for the newly built 'Adam', he planned to choose a driver to drive it.

According to Locke's understanding, there are currently more than 100 pilots in the Hunter Academy and most of them have lowered their requirements before being admitted to the Hunter Academy.

There are only about a dozen pilots who are truly capable enough, and most of them now have their own mechas. The top ones among them are several plot characters who appear in the plot, such as the Beckett brothers and Chuck Hansen. , Mori Mako, etc.

Locke plans to choose one of these people to be Adam's driver.
