Chapter 327 Small Mecha Club
Broken Dome, Anchorage, Alaska.
Shi Lan and Xiao Fei are leading everyone to work overtime to transform the mecha hunter "White Scar".
Of course Xiao Fei wanted to cram all the weapon technology mastered by the Mechanicus into the Mecha Hunter, including radium weapons, phosphorus weapons, arc weapons... But obviously, not every weapon could be enlarged to the size of a Titan, such as Fu Qinghai's favorite power weapons and disintegration force fields.
Not every weapon is effective against monsters.
The White Scar is 76 meters tall, which is between the Emperor-class Titan and the Warmaster-class Titan, so there is a lot of room for spare space. It would be a waste to equip it with only one volcanic cannon and one seismic cannon. Even if structural space needs to be reserved for the complex and sensitive body structure, there should not be only two weapons.
Since the Chapter Master had already given the instruction to "specialize in close combat", Xiao Fei set his sights on the rare gem in the Titan Legion, a very rare melee Titan specifically designed for sieges - the Warmaster-class Titan Wallbreaker.
Although most Titans are not good at close combat, Xiao Fei has references even if he wants to engage in close combat.
The design structure of the five fingers and fist of "White Scar" remains unchanged, and two more handheld weapons are added:
Kill the Giant Chainsword.
Crux-type siege drill.
In addition, two small cannons of not too large size are added and installed on the two shoulders of the "White Scar" as shoulder cannons to maintain the diversity of offensive means:
two twin-linked conversion beam cannons.
This is a weapon that is mainly mounted on Knight-class Titans and Dreadnoughts, and is just right as an auxiliary weapon.
Conversion beam weapons, like deflagration weapons, are relic technologies whose manufacturing technology has been lost at the time node 31K, but the Phaeton Forge World happens to have the STC of conversion beam weapons - an archaeological discovery from Master Buck.
At the same time, two sets of Vulcan giant bombs were added to the upper abdomen of the mecha hunter. The shape is very similar to the electromagnetic railgun on the chest of the fifth-generation mecha "Phoenix Guerrilla". The power of the Vulcan giant bomb is not enough to completely penetrate the monster's silicon-based skin, but Fu Qinghai still requested to install this weapon because he took into account the existence of other threats, just in case.
The excellent melee weapon designs of previous generations of Mech Hunters will also be retained and enhanced.
…
The transformation work is in full swing and in full swing.
Fu Qinghai came to the laboratory alone.
There is no K-Science Department at Broken Dome Anchorage.
A room was temporarily vacated as a biological laboratory.
Fu Qinghai analyzed the old data left by Dr. Newton and Dr. Herman, wanting to know what Laust used to create the huge explosion at the Shattered Dome Base in Xiangjiang.
The residues at the scene of the accident pointed to monster blood, and the two were obviously related, so Fu Qinghai concentrated on looking at the data related to the chemical composition analysis of monster blood.
The problem is, monster blood itself doesn't explode. It's toxic, corrosive, and extremely complex, but it just doesn't explode - at least not when faced with common detonation methods such as heating, electricity, compression, and violent acceleration.
So, could it be something else that caused it to explode?
Like a catalyst?
Fu Qinghai began a new search, this time focusing on the role of monster blood.
We found quite a few cases and data.
Monster blood can turn bodies of water black, or spread onto land after a battle between monsters and mecha hunters. Chemical plants, oil refineries, and liquefied natural gas plants have all come into contact with monster blood. Monster blood can mix things that can cause explosions, such as by corroding their containers, but there are no suspected cases that direct contact between monster blood and chemicals is the culprit for the explosion.
Just as he was about to change his thinking, he suddenly noticed a case marked by Dr. Newton:
a microelectronics chip factory in Magic City exploded after the battle between the mecha hunter "Shaolin Ranger" and the monster "Huo Da", but the factory was not directly attacked by the monster. In fact, it exploded the day after the battle.
Dr. Newton made a note here:
"The monster 'Open-minded' bleeds profusely."
Indeed, "Huo Da" was knocked flying by "Shaolin Ranger" at that time, and was hit by a plasma cannon from "Storm Red" who came to support him, and then exploded into pieces in mid-air. As a result, the economic development zone of Magic City was deeply poisoned by monsters and was no longer suitable for human habitation.
What was there in the microelectronic chip factory that would react with the monster's blood?
Fu Qinghai stood up and walked to the toolbox. He searched inside and found a computer motherboard with an electronic chip. He used pliers to clamp the chip out.
He put the chip into a fire extinguisher, closed the lid, and walked to the freezer to take out a little monster blood. He returned to the laboratory table and used a pipette to draw a little monster blood and dripped it into the small opening on the lid of the fire extinguisher. As soon as the blood left the pipette, Fu Qinghai immediately stepped back.
Let's see what happens next.
Fu Qinghai is waiting to see.
Fluorescent blue monster blood dripped onto the surface of the chip, and for a moment, nothing happened.
"boom!"
The next second, he saw a vast expanse of white light before his eyes. Fu Qinghai shook his head, trying to calm the buzzing in his ears, and blinked his eyes, but there were still spots in front of his eyes that blocked his vision.
By the time he woke up completely, security personnel had already arrived at the scene quickly.
"Dr. Fu Shan!"
One of them shouted:
"Are you okay?"
His voice sounded a little vague, but Fu Qinghai still nodded.
The monster invasion is not completely without any benefits to humans. At least through reverse engineering of the monsters' body structure and chemical composition, human materials science, biology, chemistry and medicine have made great progress.
The container was made of a high molecular polymer, similar to the composition of the monster's scales. It could withstand the power of an explosion of 90 kilograms of TNT. But now it was blown into pieces and the titanium alloy lid was also blown away.
Fu Qinghai, who woke up, immediately fell into deep thought.
What is inside the chip that can cause the monster blood to explode?
It is definitely not the microcircuit structure of the chip itself, but some chemical substance contained in the chip.
The security personnel around were amazed to see that the experimental site was in a mess and the equipment was toppled over, but Dr. Fu Shan was unharmed. They believed the rumor that "the nerve fibers are thicker than a penis" even more.
Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered that in the second movie, the three-headed monster tried every means to rush to Mount Fuji in Japan, just to commit suicide in this dormant volcano -
The huge explosion caused by the monster's blood coming into contact with magma produces a cascade effect, detonating the entire Pacific Rim volcanic earthquake belt. Billions of tons of toxic gases and volcanic dust are emitted into the atmosphere, annihilating all life on Earth, so as to achieve the pioneers' goal of transforming the Earth.
Chips... magma...
What common chemicals are there?
The answer is... Rare Earth Elements!

Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force Research Report
Speaker: Dr. Fu Shan.
Report topic: Reactivity and flammability of monster blood with lanthanum as a catalyst.
summary:
It is well known that monster blood is corrosive when it comes into physical contact with terrestrial organic materials and most known metal compounds and plastic compounds. However, after further research and analysis, monster blood has another related property - huge thermal energy.
The first experiments on monster blood found that the chemical reaction between monster blood and lanthanum produces additional heat. If the series of problems related to the chemical instability of monster blood can be overcome, monster blood research will play a major role in propulsion and navigation in the future.
This series of problems includes:
the optimal time for controlled combustion is short and the generated substances are explosive or may not be able to burn; container corrosion cannot be avoided during the storage and use of monster blood; furthermore, after the above-mentioned scientific and technological application results are widely used, it is also necessary to solve the problem of synthesizing monster blood.
Further research is still ongoing.
…
"Click…"
After typing the last word, Fu Qinghai took his hands off the keyboard, slowly leaned back in his chair, and rested his head on the back of his head with his fingers crossed.
He looked at the screen quietly. In the past, the "Research Report" was co-authored and published by three doctors. Now that the other two doctors have died, only "Dr. Fu Shan" is signed.
However, his research conclusions were based on the old experimental data of two deceased doctors. In order to express his respect and gratitude, Fu Qinghai finally added a paragraph in the "Citation" column at the end of the "Research Report":
"Special thanks to Dr. Newton Geisler and Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. You are the saviors of mankind."
How much energy does monster blood contain?
Fu Qinghai recalled that in the second movie, Shao Liwen and Dr. Herman used liquid-fuel rockets made from monster blood to take three mecha hunters into the sky.
You know, liquid fuel rockets have long been eliminated in the era of plasma engines.
Monster blood can actually give new life to this ancient rocket technology, and it is a rocket that was made in a hurry.
It's just that the core keyword "rare earth elements" was not mentioned in the movie - or maybe it was mentioned, but Fu Qinghai forgot.
"Monster Toxic Blue" has suddenly been transformed from a pollutant into a treasure, becoming a "super energy source". Now humans may have to consider how to artificially synthesize this substance.
Fu Qinghai was thinking when there was a knock on the door behind him:
"Tap, tap, tap."
"Come in."
A rusty red hood poked his head out and said,
"Khan, the reincarnations of the human camp request a meeting to discuss the major events of the plot line."
Fu Qinghai turned his head blankly:
"You called it?"
Xiao Fei shook his head:
"They took the initiative to ask for it. Do you want to agree?"
After seeing the mecha hunter "White Scar" kill the monster easily, he now comes to request a gathering?
After Fu Qinghai pondered for a moment, he said,
"Okay, let's find a place and gather them."
...
Broken Dome, Anchorage, Alaska.
Xiao Fei chose this place as the gathering place for the players.
Not all the reincarnationists were thick-skinned. Only three or five of them found that things could turn around, so they contacted Xiao Fei again and proposed to gather for a meeting, hoping to get a share of the big events in the plot line. However, Xiao Fei followed Fu Qinghai's instructions and summoned all the reincarnationists he knew from the human camp.
So the meeting time is unified:
14:00 noon on July 21st.
In the conference room at the base.
Xiao Fei sat in the first seat because he was the convener of the meeting, and the other reincarnations did not know Fu Qinghai.
The technical priest silently checked the timing device in his body, coughed lightly and said,
"Okay, no more waiting, it's time to start."
"Those who are late will be deemed to have automatically forfeited the opportunity."
In front of Xiao Fei was a traditional Chinese wooden tea tray with simple wood grain and bright varnish, which looked quite exquisite.
After he finished speaking, four slender mechanical arms and two flexible mechanical tentacles extended from under the technical priest's rust-red robe, and they began to operate skillfully on the tea tray:
cleaning the utensils, waiting for water, rinsing the cups... a set of movements were smooth and flowing, and the four mechanical arms worked alternately without interfering with each other. For tea, the tea leaves were taken out of the tea compartment, put into the teapot with a teaspoon, the tea stems were broken with a tea pestle, the tea was placed, sorted, and separated... Finally, the clear tea soup was poured into the smelling cup, and Xiao Fei took a light sniff at it, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
This powerful cyber monster can also make tea?
All the East Asian reincarnationists present were shocked.
After confirming that the aroma was rich and not astringent, Xiao Fei poured the tea in the fairness cup into the tea tasting cups one by one. He handed the first cup to Fu Qinghai, who was sitting on his right, and said:
"Khan, please."
Fu Qinghai picked up the teacup and took a sip, thinking to himself:
The oil man makes Kung Fu tea...
This is so fucking cyberpunk.
"In order to prevent someone from being a spy, the electromagnetic shielding device has been activated at the conference site."
While distributing tea, Xiao Fei casually explained:
"Please don't bother everyone to turn off their communication devices."
Everyone expressed their understanding.
Xiao Fei smiled and said:
"I am just convening people today, I don't have to be the leader. Since everyone is so polite and gives me face, why don't we introduce each other's abilities and the universes they belong to before deciding on the formal cooperation model."
The mechanical tentacle pointed to the left:
"Start with you."
The reincarnator who was called said quickly:
"I am from the Avatar universe, and I own a mobile amplification platform armor, referred to as 'AMP' armor..."
The reincarnations behind said one by one:
"I come from the Ninth District Universe, and I own an EXO SUIT exoskeleton mecha, commonly known as the prawn mecha..."
"I am from the Matrix universe and own an Armored Personnel Unit, or 'APU' armor for short..."
Xiao Fei responded with a "hmm", his expression noncommittal.
These small mechas from various sci-fi universes are not quite suitable for the Warhammer 40K universe, as they are not as close-fitting and flexible as power armor. Compared with the Dreadnought, there is a complete living person inside. Compared with the Knight-class Titan, the size is a bit small - the correct comparison should be the early Tau Empire battle suit.
XV8 Crisis Combat Suit, more or less.
None of them belong to the Titan unit. In the final analysis, they are not qualified to fight monsters at all.
Until a burly black man who was locked in a huge power armor said in a muffled voice:
"My name is Matthew, Berserker Power Armor, also known as MOX Power Armor, Weyland Yugu Company, Alien vs. Predator Universe."
Fu Qinghai took a look and thought, hey, it's an acquaintance.
"Matthew, Resident Evil Cinematic Universe, Jacob Town in the Glowing Sea, Boss Zhao's bar, do you remember me?"
Fu Qinghai spoke.
It is said that people who are put into Berserker power armor are in great pain, so they can transform their anger into the power to hunt aliens. Black Matthew said with a droopy face:
"Remember, you are the Space Marine, and you said that if I can get the acid-resistant alloy formula of Wayland Tangu Company, you will spend a lot of money to buy it. Does this sentence still count?"
Fu Qinghai nodded and said:
"Of course it counts, but the conditions have to be changed. I won't spend a lot of points to buy the formula, but I can take you to participate in major events in the plot line and help you earn assimilation points."
Black Matthew was silent for a moment:
"make a deal."
Several other players showed envious expressions.
Only one player remained who had not introduced himself. He was a young black-haired man, leaning back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest. He looked arrogant and spoke indifferently,
"Banaji Crus, from the Gundam UC universe."
Wow!
Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei stood in awe.
Although the height of Gundam is generally between fifteen and eighteen meters, and the height of War Dog Titan is also between fifteen and eighteen meters, the combat power of Gundam is not comparable to that of War Dog Titan.
Moreover, many mecha science fiction IPs such as Pacific Rim were influenced and inspired by the Gundam series.
Like the American comic universe, there are many parallel universes in the Gundam series. In addition to UC, there are AC, FC, AW, CC, CE, etc., but the Gundam UC universe is the most orthodox Gundam worldview.
Xiao Fei asked cautiously:
"So what are your abilities or equipment?"
Banagher Crus spread his hands and said,
"I am NT, a natural mecha pilot."
Fu Qinghai leaned close to Xiao Fei and whispered,
"NT? What does it mean? Cerebral palsy?"
Xiao Fei tilted his head and explained in a low voice:
"New Type, new humans, you can understand it as the Children of the Void in the Warhammer 40K universe. They are new humans who have lived in the cosmic environment for a long time and have been affected by various factors and mutated. However, unlike the Children of the Void, they are almost all benign mutations, which are very strange. They have strong spatial perception and cognitive abilities, and can also have telepathy and the like."
In this way, even from the perspective of the synaesthesia requirements of the Pacific Rim Space Pons Bridge Device, the new humans of Gundam are indeed very suitable mecha hunter pilots.
After explaining, Xiao Fei asked,
"Where's your Gundam?"
The other party said calmly,
"I don't have the money to assimilate the Gundam."
Xiao Fei did not underestimate the other party, but continued to ask:
"Similar to the guy from the AVP universe just now, do you have any technology related to the Gundam UC universe?"
"Mega particles? Thesaurus system? Gundamium alloy? Any of these technologies will do."
The other party looked puzzled:
"I'm a driver, why should I know this?"
Xiao Fei understood, and he also looked puzzled:
"So, you know nothing and can't do anything. Just because you are a NT, we have to build a mecha hunter for you?"
"yes."
Banagher Cruz said as if it was a matter of course:
"Isn't this the point of calling us to cooperate?"
Xiao Fei pointed his mechanical tentacles at the door:
"Get out."
The new humans left in disgrace.
Just as this person opened the door and left, another person happened to walk in. He was an Asian man with long hair. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then said with a folded hand:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I'm late. This place is a bit far from downtown Anchorage. There's a traffic jam, a traffic jam, hahaha."
He smiled twice in a rather perfunctory manner.
Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes and asked with a fake smile:
"Traffic jam? What universe are you from?"
The other party was stunned, thinking what universe I came from and what does it have to do with traffic jams? But he still said:
"Oh, I'm from the Attack on Titan universe."
Xiao Fei smiled slightly, looked around, and said:
"We are all from District 9, from Avatar, from the Warhammer 40K universe, and you are from the Attack on Titan universe, no wonder you are stuck in traffic... You are from the Attack on Titan universe, you are not qualified to attend this meeting at all!"
The other party was stunned, his face changing from blue to red.
As if he had been greatly humiliated.
Fu Qinghai was still thinking: Can the giant in Attack on Titan fight against the monsters?
Xiao Fei had already started to taunt the long-haired Asian man, staring at him, and said in a cold voice:
"You are half an hour late, which means you don't take this meeting seriously and look down on us. Why do you want us to treat you as a teammate?"
"Go home and wait for the reincarnation world to inform you of the ending of the major events in the plot line!"
Xiao Fei cursed.
The last time he called the reincarnations together, no one paid any attention to him, which made Xiao Fei very angry - he felt that he had left a negative impression of incompetence in the mind of the regiment commander. Now there happened to be a blind person who ran into the gun barrel, so naturally he had to target him.
The reincarnationist left angrily.
