Chapter 198 - Callie Surprises Peter (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Peter left the Genetics College, he encountered the advanced intelligent entity No. 0 on his way to the unnamed town. He also obtained a storage space that stored the smart mechas created by No. 0.
Although these smart mechas were very powerful, there was a very serious problem. After being on standby for a long time, there was a serious problem regarding the energy supply of the smart mechas.
Back then, Peter had asked No. 0 if he could solve the problem of energy shortage. The method that No. 0 had thought of was very simple. Peter would collect a large number of mechas and then let No. 0 operate on these mechas. The energy extracted could be used by smart mechas, but the number of mechas needed was very large.
Peter’s return to New York Base City this time would allow No. 0 to check on the old mechas of the Federation. It would be best if he could use them.
“General Hal, how many mechas have you counted?”
After several centuries of development, the number of mechas serving in the Federation had reached 100,000 before the beast siege. However, more than two-thirds of the mechas had been injured during the beast attack, leaving behind less than 20,000 mechas. Furthermore, there were all sorts of small problems with these mechas.
Other than that, there were also about 50,000 mechas waiting to be destroyed in the Federation’s warehouses. These were all relatively old models that could no longer adapt to the current war.
Peter had a rough decision after hearing Hal’s report. Then, he left the Federal combat command room and went to the end of the corridor alone. This way, he could prevent others from hearing him.
He wanted to contact No. 0 and tell him the number of remaining mechas in the Federation. Then, No. 0 would analyze how much energy he could extract and how many smart mechas he could support.
This was very important to Peter’s subsequent plan. The Federation had always used Mecha Warriors to operate their mechas in battle. This model of battle had advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.
This was because when Mecha Warriors operated their mechas against enemies, especially when there were a large number of mutated beasts, the defeat of one mecha would often cause a chain reaction. This would cause other Mecha Warriors to operate their mechas and escape. This was disadvantageous to the entire mecha army.
The best example was of the mecha army sent by the Federation, which encountered the siege of mutated beasts in the wilderness. After the mechas responsible for defense were defeated, the Mecha Warriors that had been suppressing the mutated beasts instantly lost their confidence. They began to operate their mechas to escape the battlefield. However, in the end, less than a quarter of the mecha army escaped.
If the Mecha Warriors who had not escaped continued to fight the mutated beasts, the mecha army that had been rushing over to support them would have been able to arrive in time.
This kind of war case often happened in history, just that human bodies had been replaced with hard mechas. However, as long as humans were operating mechas, this kind of thing could not be avoided.
Thus, Peter’s idea was very simple. He wanted to scrap all the current mechas in the Federation and extract the energy to maintain the operation of the smart mechas.
Peter’s requirements were not high. As long as more than 10,000 smart mechas could operate normally, they would be able to shoulder the defense mission in New York Base City.
Then, Peter called Barker over. He asked Barker to be responsible for gathering all the remaining mechas in the Federation with General Hal.
Meanwhile, Peter wanted to see Callie first. Furthermore, he had to convince Callie to participate in the Presidential elections as a Presidential candidate.
A few minutes later, Peter arrived outside Callie’s door. A staff member had wanted to inform Callie, but Peter stopped him. He wanted to surprise Callie.
