Chapter 64: Chance Encounter
"I'm so sorry, Dr. Tesla..." This time it was Mei's turn to sweat profusely.
"Well, I can actually help with the test again." Mei said cautiously, "I was just wondering, although this new mecha is more flexible than the Titan mecha, its defense is much worse."
"You want to dismantle another one? You know, there are only a few experimental models produced!"
"And! You actually compared this new law enforcement mecha to the Titan mecha!"
"You should know that the price of this new mecha after the mass production is expected to be less than one twentieth of the Titan mecha! It is already quite good to be able to achieve this performance!"
"It's so cheap..." Mei said subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Mei say the word "cheap," the originally irritable Tesla became unexpectedly quiet.
"Actually... the new mecha isn't too cheap."
Then Mei and Tesla looked at each other...
Mei discovered a problem that she had overlooked a long time ago, so she asked curiously: "Um, Dr. Tesla... can I ask how much a Titan mecha originally cost..."
Then Mei saw that Tesla, who was originally so aggressive, was squatting in the corner of the laboratory, drawing circles frantically on the spot.
She kept muttering...
"Do you know that using mechas to fight Honkai requires a lot of special craftsmanship, and the outer shell of the mechas also has a special coating... the intelligent operating system on the mechas..."
"Also, you all know that the battle between the Titan and the Herrscher was very exciting, but do you know that every time a Titan is lost, Anti-Entropy's finances are pushed one step closer to the brink of collapse..."
"Do you think I want to develop this kind of fancy mecha? If it weren't for the fact that the budget is running low, I would have no choice but to accept this kind of commission from the government..."
Such words kept whispering into the ears of Mei and Susanna.
Although those Titan mechas were not destroyed by Mei herself, they were destroyed by her best friend Kiana, or rather Kiana who was controlled by the Herrscher of the Void, with a snap of her fingers...
In a sense, Mei herself also bears joint responsibility.
"Okay, Tesla, stop throwing a tantrum." Another colder business call came from the gate of the test site.
Several figures walked over from the direction of other experimental sites.
Among them was Dr. Einstein with short light blue hair...
It is hard to imagine that these two doctors, who look like underage beautiful girls, are actually people with very high qualifications and age who have experienced the entire Honkai War.
This also led to the situation that whenever Tesla or Einstein was with Walt, they would be misunderstood as old fathers taking their daughters out to play.
Either a passerby called the police, and then the police conducted routine questioning of Walt...
"Chicken coop hair..." Tesla turned around and said to Einstein with tears in his eyes, "Don't you feel sorry for those destroyed Titan mechas?"
Einstein took the data in her hand and knocked it on Tesla's head!
"Instead of always thinking about those outdated things, why not take a look at our newly developed mechas."
Einstein looked at Mei with her characteristic eyes that showed no emotion.
Mei turned her head away guiltily.
"Although this experiment did not take this step into consideration, Mei, when we complete the extreme stress experiment in combat..."
Einstein kept looking at the data in her hand: "Our new mecha performed unexpectedly well in the extreme battle that was far beyond its ability to handle..."
"It costs less than one twentieth of the price of a Titan mecha, but it has nearly one-third of the performance of a Titan mecha. This newly developed frame has a very high cost-effectiveness."
At this point, Einstein confidently closed the data board in her hand and said to everyone present: "Our newly mass-produced advanced mecha has completely surpassed the old Titan mecha in terms of cost performance."
"It can be said that this is a major progress…"
Susanna, who had been listening nearby, didn't understand much but still felt it was amazing.
But when comparing it in terms of cost performance, it always feels like something is not right?
"Really? Chicken Coop Hair, let me see the data..." Tesla suddenly regained her spirits when she heard Einstein say this.
Quickly snatching the data plate from Einstein's hand, the two beautiful female scientists gathered together to carefully analyze what room for improvement this mecha could have.
"This is really an excellent mecha, especially now that Schicksal is short of manpower..." Rita, holding a huge sickle, said slowly.
"This mecha can effectively save manpower for maintaining public order, greatly alleviating..."
'Murderous intent!' Rita, who originally wanted to say some polite words to praise the two beautiful female doctors, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.
A trace of murderous intent directed at her must be coming straight towards her!
Rita instinctively became alert towards the source of the murderous intent.
"Mei?" Looking at the source of the murderous aura, Rita tilted her head in confusion, and her originally prepared alert stance was also paused.
"Nothing, it's just that fighting with this new mecha wasn't very satisfying," Mei said this, and the movement of covering her shoulder was a little strange.
"Eh? Is Mei-senpai such a belligerent person?" Susanna always felt that something was wrong with Mei-senpai now. "Did she experience something sad these days?"
"Oh, really?" Rita smiled seductively at this moment, "Ms. Mei, it's rare that we are here today to help the two doctors test the mecha."
"Why don't we just spar here?"
"Okay, I almost forgot when was the last time we fought. Miss Rita, you have to give me a good evaluation. How much have I improved since last time?"
"Don't worry, Miss Mei, just use whatever you have. I will teach you the fighting techniques carefully... just like before..."
"Then we have a deal, Miss Rita. We'll call it a day."
"That's right, just stop there, Miss Mei..."
The two women, each with their own unique qualities and as beautiful as flowers, returned to the center of the testing ground, chatting and laughing.
Before Susanna could even react, the two were ready to attack: "Why are these two suddenly fighting?
