Chapter 324 Test Cannon
One month later.
Broken Dome, Anchorage, Alaska.
Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei stood side by side on the spacious landing platform of Hunter Bay. The waves rolled and shattered outside the rocks and platform. The cold wind of the Bering Sea blew the rust-red robes of the technical priests and the power armor of the Space Marines.
The two of them looked into the distance together.
A huge humanoid object wrapped in a waterproof cloth was hoisted by eighteen Jumping Eagle helicopters, flying over the dark blue rough sea level and flying towards this side.
The Jumping Eagle is a helicopter specially developed to transport Mecha Hunters.
The humanoid giant in Mongolia is obviously a semi-finished product. A real mecha hunter can fight underwater and can dive deeper than a nuclear submarine. Covering Mongolia is purely unnecessary.
At the same time, in the interior of the peninsula leading to the Broken Dome Base, in the coniferous forest of towering giant trees, on the straight and wide special road, a mighty large convoy was traveling, four giant multi-vehicles that could be used to carry rocket components. The crawler-type transport vehicle is moving forward slowly.
On the back of the wide and huge flatbed truck were carried the operating system, power core and two giant cannons customized by Fu Qinghai from Shaw Industries, the volcano cannon and the seismic cannon.
…
The dome cave that could originally accommodate six Mecha Hunters now only has a lone semi-finished Mecha Hunter standing here. With the cooperation of mechanical cranes, several engineering vehicles with lifts slowly lowered the waterproof cloth. Slowly opening it, the behemoth inside revealed its true appearance——
It has a smooth and angular appearance, broad shoulders, and thick arms. The inner armor is black, with a shell painted in khaki and ocher red, and a light blue "Y"-shaped head cockpit mask. It resembles the helmet of an ancient Spartan warrior. Even if some areas are exposed, the overall shape still looks very tall, burly and handsome.
"Brave Omega."
Fu Qinghai raised his head and murmured to himself.
"Do you know this Mecha Hunter?"
Xiao Fei next to him turned his head and asked.
"Yes."
Fu Qinghai nodded and said:
"'Brave Omega' is the first sixth-generation mecha developed and is scheduled to be put into service in 2030. In the second movie, he was responsible for guarding and patrolling Mengyu Lan's Broken Dome Base, and was beaten to death by three monster drones. Basically, It’s just a bit of soy sauce, but that doesn’t cover up its power.”
So far, only four sixth-generation mechas have appeared in Pacific Rim: "Vengeance Wanderer", the new protagonist of "Danger Wanderer", "Redeemer Titan", "Brave Omega" and "Saber Athena". Among them, the "Saber Athena" is the latest one to be manufactured and is considered to be the seventh or sixth and a half generation. However, in the official classification, the "Saber Athena" is the sixth generation mecha.
"In the movie, the completed 'Brave Omega' is equipped with two huge Y-11 twin cannons on the outside of its hands. It has a certain deformation ability. In melee mode, it can be retracted inside the gauntlet, making the punch faster, and the chest Equipped with twenty-one ray cannons, it should be a type of laser weapon, so this Mecha Hunter is also called the 'twenty-one salute gun'."
Fu Qinghai then introduced.
"But I didn't see the existence of the above-mentioned weapons."
Xiao Fei said.
"Because this is an unfinished mecha."
Fu Qinghai smiled and said:
"It's good that it's not finished yet. It saves us the trouble of dismantling and modifying it. There is a cabin in the torso of 'Brave Omega' that can accommodate 150 people. The legs are equipped with seawater desalination and filtration systems... These medical rescue devices are all What we don’t need is freed up to reserve space for other facilities.”
With that said, Fu Qinghai opened the white suitcase, and from the twisting blue light film, an orangutan climbed out on its own.
Xiao Fei stared:
"Space ape!?"
Of course the technical priests have heard of this famous race created by the ancient saints.
"Hello, followers of the Void Dragon."
The brainwave sound-generating device on Shi Lan's neck made a mechanical electronic sound and waved at Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei had a dark look on his face, thinking that if I were not a reincarnationist, but a real oil guy, I would probably be pissed off on the spot by your monkey's words.
"Dr. Fu Shan, everything has been delivered. Please count it and check it."
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind.
Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei turned around and saw two men walking side by side, one wearing a black military uniform and the other wearing a blue suit. The former was General Quan, the representative of PPDC, and the latter was Director Kang, the representative of Shaw Industries.
Of course, such a huge Shattered Dome base cannot be run by just eight "people" including Fu Qinghai, Shi Lan, Xiao Fei and five machine servants. As the representative of PPDC, General Quan led many PPDC staff to settle in the base. Go to the Anchorage Broken Dome base belonging to Xiao Fei, help maintain the Mecha Hunter and run the entire base.
By the way, it also has a sense of supervision. After all, this unfinished "Brave Omega" is also nominally an asset of PPDC, so naturally it cannot be given away casually.
"Okay, you two, wait until I check it in detail and then send you a list of material requirements."
Fu Qinghai said politely.
At this time, a thin figure with bandages all over his body and sitting in a wheelchair also pushed the wheelchair over. Fu Qinghai saw the iconic shirt, tie and overalls, and said in surprise:
"Tendou is here too?"
Cai Tiantong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, nodded and said:
"The Marshal has asked me to assist you, Doctor."
Marshal Panticost sent one of his generals over. Fu Qinghai sighed inwardly, looking at Cai Tiantong's miserable appearance, he was lucky to have not died in the explosion at Xiangjiang Broken Dome Base.
"Welcome to the Anchorage Broken Vault."
Fu Qinghai said to the three people:
"Although this base belonged to PPDC in the past, I still want to say this, because soon we will see a brand new Mecha Hunter born here!"
…………
The seaside cliffs outside Broken Dome.
The cold sea breeze was blowing violently. Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei stood beside the two giant cannons. In the distance, there was a pile of scrapped mecha parts used as targets to test the power of the volcano cannon and seismic cannon - look. Judging from the processing level of Shaw Industries, it is not enough to reproduce these two terrible Titan weapons.
The PPDC staff stood a little far away. They were a little afraid of Xiao Fei, a tall weirdo wearing a red robe.
"The power of the volcano cannon will definitely not be reached."
Xiao Fei vaccinated Fu Qinghai in advance.
"Why?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Because the consumables used in the volcano cannon involve a special crystal, a certain kind of crystal produced in the lava river on the mining world Cinder 11 planet. It is said to be related to the illegal psykers who died in it. Some superstitions say what the volcano cannon is. The scream when fired is the death wail of a psyker or something."
Xiao Fei explained.
Fu Qinghai was not interested in whether psychics could turn into crystals in the lava river. He grasped the core keywords:
"So, we currently lack a high-energy crystal that can be used as a firing consumable for the volcano cannon, is that right?"
"Yes."
The Tech-Priest nodded.
Fu Qinghai opened the white suitcase, reached in and grabbed a handful of green broken crystals, and asked:
"Is this okay?"
"What's this?"
Xiao Fei asked curiously.
"Radiant rye ore."
Fu Qinghai said:
"It is also born from the human body. It is similar to your crystal."
…
A heartbreaking scream of terror.
The staff around him couldn't help but cover their ears.
A thick green laser flashed past.
The mecha wreckage in the distance disappeared.
All that is left is a straight and deep charred indentation on the ground, leading straight to the end of the seaside cliff. Like being plowed by an extremely sharp and high-temperature sword of God, the soil and rocks turned into shining lava, still braving repeated attacks. White smoke.
"good."
Fu Qinghai was very satisfied.
"good."
Xiao Fei nodded:
"It's almost the same as the original volcano cannon."
"Next is the seismic cannon."
Fu Qinghai looked at the other giant cannon.
Xiao Fei started taking vaccinations again:
"Both barrels and shells are difficult. In order to make a qualified seismic cannon, I handed over the formulas of two special alloys and three new types of explosives to Shaw Industries. Shao Liwen made a lot of money. If the power is not enough, it cannot be Blame me."
The seismic cannon is a siege weapon, and its power requirements are: the shock wave caused by the cannonball can reproduce the huge impact when the planet is disintegrated by the execution of the Star Shatter Extinction Order.
A bit of an exaggerated description.
It's not really a piece of planet fragment put into the cannonball - the planet fragment will not explode. It means using explosives to recreate the impact power of the planet when it breaks apart.
"There are only four artillery shells in total, two 'Ghoul' seismic bombs, and two 'Citybreaker' seismic bombs. Save some."
Xiao Fei reminded him.
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"In one month, Shaw Industries can produce four seismic bombs, which is not bad."
…
"boom--"
After a loud noise that shook the earth.
"Damn it, the cliff is collapsing, run!"
Fu Qinghai took the lead and rushed into the tractor, lifted the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, grabbed the two giant cannons, and rushed back. He leaned half out of the window and shouted to the PPDC staff to follow him and evacuate quickly.
People were knocked to the ground by the distant aftermath of the earthquake bomb. When they heard Fu Qinghai's shouting, they hurriedly got up and ran away.
In the distance, the earth cracked, cliffs collapsed, boulders fell into the sea, and huge water columns more than ten meters high splashed on the sea surface.
…………
Inside the Anchorage Shattered Dome base.
The mecha hunter stood there, surrounded by dense scaffolding and steel corridors. Shi Lan, Xiao Fei and Fu Qinghai were climbing up and down the outer shell of the machine body, and from time to time they got into the inside of the machine body. The shining electric sparks "squeaked", Numerous manufacturing workers and five machine servitors swarmed around it like insects, and more cranes and slings were running.
"Speaking of Xiao Fei." Fu Qinghai took the time to ask, "Which Titan Legion did you serve in when you were studying on Mars?"
"Fire Bee Legion."
The Tech-Priest replied without looking back.
He is busy directing the reinforcement of an armored partition.
"Oh, that's okay. The roots are right and the shoots are red."
Fu Qinghai gave a thumbs up.
As mentioned before, those powerful forge worlds, such as Mars, can support more than one Titan army.
The Dead Skull Legion, the Storm Legion and the Fire Bee Legion are known as the Iron Trident of Mars. The most famous of them is the Death Skull Legion. During the Great Crusade, they fought side by side with the 36th Expedition Fleet, the Luna Wolves, and were the first to be announced. Traitor Titan Legions loyal to Warmasters Horus and Kalbor Haral.
Fu Qinghai has never fought side by side with the Titan Legion. He has only heard that the crew members of the Fire Bee Legion have very unconventional looks. They like to have their source circuits branded on their bodies like electric monks. They like indigo and acid green. He has a hedgehog hair style, and also likes fiery red and golden industrial geometric style tattoos, and occasionally a big shiny gold tooth.
"The Fire Bee Legion executes the most typical Titan Legion tactics."
Xiao Fei had to explain two things for his old club:
"Love heavy long-range firepower, form a battle line, fuse void shields, and then wildly project firepower - the Fire Bee Legion has special methods for controlling overheating of weapons and engines, and the firepower density and duration are higher than other Titan Legions."
Not every Titan legion has large Titans such as Emperor, Warmaster and Warlord. Titan legions are also divided into first-level legions and second-level legions, such as the "Ember Wolves", which are full of War Dog-level Titans. It's a typical second-level legion.
There is no absolute strength or weakness between the second-level legion and the first-level legion. The Ember Wolf Legion, which has long fought side by side with the World Eaters Legion, is very good at besieging and killing large titans——
First, use complex terrain such as mountains, canyons or city lanes to quickly circle back or lurk to approach the large Titan. Then use a jumping harpoon called "Bear Claw" to hook the large Titan, drag it down and then dismember it to kill it. .
The Titan has a built-in gyroscope and gravity stabilizer to maintain balance and stability when firing or moving on complex terrain, but it is still far inferior to the Mecha Hunter.
In "Pacific Rim 2: Uprising", in order to save the crashed secretary-general Mako Mori, the sixth-generation mecha "Revenge Wanderer" jumped out of Sydney's complex urban terrain and held up the crashed helicopter with one hand. , it has not caused much damage to urban facilities, and it can be said to be extremely sensitive.
In the original novel "False Gods", a group of Warhound Titans penetrated the void shield of the Emperor Titan, knocked out the close-in defense cannons on the Emperor Titan's legs, and fired a bunch of magnetic harpoons to grab them tightly. He pulled it down...and then the Empire's most powerful Titan never got up again. It was extremely clumsy.
This shows the huge difference in mobility design and flexible structure between Titan and Mecha Hunter.
It's a world of difference.
Large Titans require small Titans and tanks to provide cover around them. They fight like a fleet, which is very different from the one-on-one combat mode of Mecha Hunters.
Fu Qinghai had a hunch that bringing Pacific Rim's mecha hunter-related technologies back to the Warhammer 40K universe would definitely revolutionize the battle mode between Titan legions.
…………
Soon, the initial upgrade and transformation of the mecha hunter "Brave Omega" was completed.
Why "preliminary upgrade"?
Because all the ideas of the entire design team for the mecha hunter had not been fully realized, PPDC sent an alert - traces of monsters were detected on the coast of the South American continent.
A new monster is coming.
Fu Qinghai's design team is very diverse: the Forge Master of the Space Marines, the Tech-priests of the Titan Order, and the space ape created by the ancient saints.
Everyone has a lot of ideas to integrate into the Mecha Hunter, but time waits for no one, the monster threat is close at hand, and the Mecha Hunter must go to war immediately.
"Preliminary Upgrading Plan.txt":
First of all, the paint has been completely changed to a new color scheme with a bone white body and true red trim.
Then, the Y-11 twin cannons on both arms turned into a volcano cannon and a seismic cannon.
Secondly, the operating system and power core were replaced simultaneously, and the structure of the head control cabin also underwent major changes.
Finally, the rescue device was removed, leaving redundant space, and the excellent designs of previous generations of mecha hunters such as the "Angel Wings" scapular fins and the "Achilles" shock absorber were also incorporated into it.
…
This new Mech Hunter uses almost no new materials from the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Ceramic armor has the best defensive effect against high-temperature directed energy weapons such as laser weapons and small-caliber live ammunition weapons. However, monsters do not have the above two weapons. In the face of close combat with monsters, ceramic armor is too rigid (and too brittle). ) has insufficient toughness, so it was not considered.
What the design team really wanted was adamantine armor. Titans all have adamantine armor shells, but there is no such mineral as "adamantine" in the Pacific Rim universe.
The design team originally planned to install the volcano cannon and the seismic cannon as shoulder cannons, one on the left and one on the right, because many of Titan's weapons are carried on the back - the fort, the church, and the fortress. However, Fu Qinghai considered that the shoulder cannon's firing angle was too high. It was narrow, so the two giant cannons were placed on the outside of the arm.
The size of the gun body matches the size of the arm just right.
Because the Emperor Titan can already install several volcano cannons and seismic cannons, and the Mecha Hunter and the Emperor Titan are of the same size, they are very suitable as hand cannons.
In the first Pacific Rim movie, all Mecha Hunters had their own unique crest.
Heraldic culture is Hammer Man’s favorite, and Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei are not immune to it. On the left shoulder of the new mecha is a red lightning bolt breaking through a golden horizontal bar, and on the right shoulder is a gear wrapping the skull, which represents feelings and retro.
So far.
This Mecha Hunter has a new name:
"White scars".
…

It's getting thinner again, so uncomfortable.
There are a lot of pictures in this chapter. Don’t rush until you finish reading. I will upload the pictures one by one.
