Chapter 148: Mech! (1/2)

GOR Chapter 148: Mech!

Chen Xiaolian, Roddy, Nagase Komi and even Fujino Masayoshi stood right there. All four of them had their heads raised up as they observed the giant, 30-meter high door that was slowly opening up.

As the door opened, lights automatically lit up and the colossal object was revealed…

All four of them reacted in near identical fashion. They simply stood there in a daze for a long time, incapable of saying anything.

…

Magnificent! Spectacular! Beautiful!

That was the first feeling to well up as they feasted their eyes upon it!

A humanoid Mech with a height of nearly twenty meters stood inside the hangar.

There were supporting and securing metal frames on both sides to keep this Mech in a standing posture.

Its body form closely resembled the human body, with a sleek body shape; its complete body frame was filled with lines, which accentuated its sense of beauty!

The coating on its exterior was bright blue in colour with faint silvery white lines in between.

There were more than ten thick cables attached to the surface of its body. The other end of the cables were then connected somewhere into the walls.

There was a standing computer desk set up by the hangar door. Roddy was the first to run over. He switched on the computer while both hands moved, tapping the buttons on the keyboard.

With Roddy’s Mechanical Heart skill, it did not matter if this computer has certain password requirements for it. None of them could bar Roddy from prying open its secrets.

Soon enough, a three-dimensional design of the humanoid Mech appeared upon the computer screen.

Fujino Masayoshi was feeling highly excited. At this moment, this PhD holder in Electronic Engineering appeared to have recovered his instinctive yearning toward technology. Matters regarding him being ‘shot to death’ and ‘responsibility’ were temporarily forgotten.

Fujino Masayoshi greedily shoved himself beside Roddy and he stared at the screen. Both his eyes were glistening and he murmured. “I finally get to see it, I finally get to see it… it has been nine years! I finally get to see it! I am finally standing right beside it!”

For Fujino Masayoshi, this moment would be the ultimate moment in his life.

Nine years ago, he was a budding scientist in the field of research. After this research institute recruited him, he felt that he had been sucked into a completely new field.

Within these nine years, he improved his position step by step. One day, he finally came to learn about the existence of this ‘prototype machine’. He found out about this secret prototype machine, one that was hailed as a priceless treasure by the Mechanical Faction.

The vast amount of research and work that he did all revolved around this prototype machine. Most of his time was spent researching and analysing how to reverse engineer and imitate the technological achievements of the prototype machine.

Unfortunately, with the limitations imposed by the standard technology available within the current world, their attempts to reverse engineer it faced too much difficulties.

The gap they faced in trying to solve the riddle presented by this prototype machine with the current world’s level of technology was like having a civilization whose warriors rode on horses and fight with swords try to explain the mechanics behind a jet-propelled aircraft!

The countless times when they were faced with failure, the sense of helplessness, the constant struggles, all of those stemmed from their attempts to just circle around ‘its’ existence!

However, the thing that brought the most regret to Fujino Masayoshi was that, even after nine years, his level of clearance was still insufficient for him to come close to catching a glimpse of it! His clearance could not give him the privilege to touch it!

No, forget touching. He could not even get a glimpse of it!

The work type that Fujino Masayoshi had gotten accustomed to was: His research team would be assigned with a piece of technological detail that they will work on, researching and attempting to reverse engineer it. Just like a blind man trying to feel out the pieces, he never had the chance to witness the entire picture.

Today however, this wish of his finally came true!

Roddy’s eyes were shining as he stared at the three-dimensional design displayed upon the surface of the screen.

“Body height of 18.5 meters,

“Weight of 88 tons.

“Model: Type-001— Hmm, this should be the handle given to it by the staff member of this research institute.

“Armour material: Alloy (composition unknown)

“Weapon system: Retractable beam blade, energy beam discharge weapons, others unknown.

“Power system: Unknown energy source.”
