The legend of Tiga

Chapter 1918: Spending Money is a Science

Giant mountain super power ???
This name made Horii look dazed and stunned. He stood there with his eyes wide open, full of surprise.

"How do you know this is Dagu?"

When Tiga had just appeared, the Victory Team gathered together for a summary meeting and suddenly raised the issue of the "giant's name". Horii enthusiastically came up with a name "Giant Mountain Super Power", but it was rejected by the group and received "contempt".

Afterwards, everyone including Horii had forgotten about this. They never expected that Chiba Makoto would call it out to them today, making Horii feel like he was reliving his "dark history".

Qianye Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a good name? It sounds so domineering."

"Uh hahaha, are you talking about the ones that are dozens of meters tall and weigh tens of thousands of tons?"

Horii quickly changed the subject and his expression became serious at the end.

"Of course, even if it's 20 or 30 meters high and weighs hundreds of tons, it will still be kicked around by monsters." Chiba Makoto answered with the same seriousness.

Although weight does not represent strength, if the weight difference is too large, it will be difficult to play a big role in urban warfare.

The reason is simple. The biggest constraint in urban warfare is the man-made terrain. The streets sandwiched between high-rise buildings are the "arena". Once you go out of bounds, it will cause damage and losses.

Whether it is a fighter jet or Ultraman, they are restricted when fighting monsters in the city. Not to mention high-powered attacks, they dare not even make big movements.

In this case, wrestling is the most common and most effective way of fighting. It uses pure force to suppress the monster's movements, restrain the monster's movements, and then drive the monster out of the city.

In this case, the heavier you are, the easier it is to gain an advantage.

Of course, this does not mean that small-tonnage agile combat robots such as the Victory Falcon that operates the Victory Team are useless, but that each has its own uses.

The Giant Mountain Super Power is used in frontal combat, often against clumsy monsters, while the Victory Falcon is suitable for kite tactics.

Anyway, it is impossible to build the Giant Mountain Super Power in one go. Before that, Chiba Makoto doesn't mind building a Victory Falcon to practice.

After all, Jushan Chaoliba is only a name so far, and even a PPT has not been made. Naturally, there is no way to use it to apply for funds, let alone use it to establish a project.

But the Victory Falcon is a ready-made blueprint that can be used right now. All you need to do is write a PPT and you can use it to fool people, no, to convince "investors".

After hearing what Chiba Makoto said and seeing his expression, Horii was finally sure that Chiba Makoto was not joking but was serious. He suddenly became restless and his heart started beating faster. He said excitedly, "Are you really going to build a giant super-powered car?"

Chiba Makoto shook his head first, which made Horii's heart sank. Then Chiba Makoto raised his hand and pointed at him, then said, "It's not me, it's you."

"Ah I?"

Horii's face was full of surprise, and it almost said "are you kidding me"

He is a family man who knows his own business. Although he has strong scientific research capabilities and is a leader even in the star-studded TPC, it is far from enough to build a 'Giant Mountain Super Power'.

Let alone the 'Giant Mountain Super Power', even the blueprint of the GW-02R in front of him was something that Horii didn't know how to realize.

It’s still the same, the materials are not good, they really are not good, no matter how hard we try.

For a delicate operation like deformation, you can't just add a few more layers of armor. It has to be what it is designed to be, and it can't be changed at all.

"Of course, I won't go straight to the Giant Mountain Super Power at the beginning. I'll practice with the GW-02R first. Anyway, there are so many Feiyan IIs sitting idle, so I might as well devote myself to scientific research. Maybe I can get a new life."

Chiba Makoto said nonchalantly, causing Horii's eye to twitch.

Practicing with a fighter jet that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, your hands are really precious.

Horii never dared to think so before.

but
A little excited.

If you miss the opportunity to practice with fighter jets worth hundreds of millions, you don’t know when you can get it again.

After all, this happened at a time when Feiyan-2 was facing retirement and was worthless.

There is a high probability that the headquarters will agree to this plan. After all, with the Victory Condor already in production, the Feiyan II is really of no use. It is better to use it for modification experiments than to retire and dismantle it. If it succeeds, it will be worth the money.

"I" Horii opened his mouth. His inner desire made him want to agree immediately, but his reason and emotions told him to be cautious.

The reason is simple, he is not alone and cannot do whatever he wants. He has a wife and children, so he must consider them first.

"I need to think about it." Horii said, and then quickly explained: "The cosmic network is at a critical moment. I can't leave at this time."

"Of course I won't let you change jobs right now. The Giant Mountain Super Power is still just an idea. It hasn't been formed into a plan and submitted to the headquarters for approval to become a project."

"Are you sure you want to build the Giant Mountain Super?"

Horii couldn't help but ask again. The Giant Mountain Super Power project really attracted him. When he thought about building an unprecedentedly large robot, Horii felt his blood boiling and he couldn't wait to start working.

"Why not?" Chiba Makoto smiled and said, "Humans must protect themselves with their own hands. Ultraman can protect humans for a while, but he cannot protect humans forever.

What's more, humans now have more than just Earth. Mars is being developed, and a base is being built on Jupiter. With so many space stations and interstellar bases, it is impossible for just one Ultraman to protect them all."

Horii nodded in agreement. TPC is now vigorously developing weapons and equipment and forming many elite teams similar to the Victory Team in order to protect more and more bases.

In the past, there was only a Victory Team. Now, in addition to the Super Victory Team, each branch on Earth has its own team. In addition to the Red Dragon Team, some large space stations in the universe are also equipped with a large number of defense missiles.

Except for the name, everything else about TPC today is completely different from when it was first established.

After making clear his mind, Horii immediately entered into the role, his huge head turned quickly, and said: "If we really want to do it, we must come up with some results, at least feasibility, to increase the chances of the project being approved, otherwise, I'm afraid it will still be rejected.

After all, we want to make something even bigger than the GW-02R, which requires higher technology and materials. If we don’t show them that it’s possible, it will be difficult to get approval.”

What Horii thought was, "It's impossible to get approval", but because the one who proposed it was "Tiga", the impossible became "possible".

The first thing to be solved is the power problem, after all, it is a giant steel machine weighing tens of thousands of tons.

Flying into the sky is not impossible, it is just difficult.

According to the theory of powerful brick flying, as long as the thrust is strong enough, even five pairs of road wheels can fly out of the sonic boom cloud.

The biggest reason why humans have not been able to make the "five pairs of road wheels" fly in the past is that the engine thrust is insufficient. Take the most powerful rocket for example, although the takeoff weight can reach several thousand tons, it can only send tens of tons of things to low-Earth orbit, and the rest of the weight is "thrown" down.

This is the second core technology of mankind after boiling water: throwing stones.

The third core technology is playing with sand.

Boiling water is how humans obtain energy, while throwing stones is how humans use energy. As for playing with sand, it is a silicon-based chip.

Take a launch vehicle as an example. Of the several thousand tons of weight at takeoff, 90% is fuel to be "thrown away". After ignition, the fuel turns into gas and is ejected out, giving the rocket a thrust. It then "throws away" fuel as it flies until it reaches its intended location.

Human research and development of aircraft engines is actually a process of making "throwing stones" more efficient.

Until the super-efficient jet engine, WING, was developed by the team led by Dr. Kashiwamura, humanity’s second core technology was no longer just throwing stones.

The HPE space engines used in the Feiyan series of fighter jets not only no longer use traditional petroleum and its derivatives as energy, but also do not have extremely stringent requirements on the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft.

Therefore, a big-bellied aircraft like the Feiyan-2 does not need long wings to fly, and it can fly very fast.

The reason for this is not only the ion thrusters that "burn" high-purity energy, but also the use of an anti-gravity system.

By the time of Atlantis, the maturity and iteration of the anti-gravity system made Atlantis' "belly" bigger and its wings smaller.

Sending a behemoth that is as big and heavy as a destroyer into the sky and out into the universe already has the meaning of "a big brick can fly".

Even during the Victory Team era, adding rocket boosters to the Feiyan II was able to lift monsters weighing tens of thousands of tons. So according to TPC's current technology, it is not difficult to send objects weighing tens of thousands of tons into the sky. Even if it is to fly out of the universe, it is not impossible using the Neomax propulsion system. It's just that it is more challenging for the anti-gravity system and the Neomax propulsion system.

The biggest problem is the material.

The material that is thousands of times stronger than Vibranium is the biggest obstacle for the 'Giant Mountain Super Power'.

Because it not only has to withstand a load of tens of thousands of tons, but also has to be able to carry out a certain degree of combat. This requirement is not just high, but extremely high.

Anyway, there is no TPC now. Even the new super-composite materials that are still in the laboratory stage cannot withstand such a battle of tens of thousands of tons.

In the words of relevant experts: "This kind of material cannot be produced even in another 20 years."

As a professional scientist, Horii quickly listed a series of difficulties he would face. In the end, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's very difficult!"

"If there were no difficulties, wouldn't it have been created by humans long ago?" Chiba Makoto shrugged, without any difficulty.

"That's right! Humans progress by overcoming difficulties." Horii also found a way to laugh despite the hardship. No matter what the result was, at least he tried his best.

If we can't build a giant Super LiBa, it would be good to build a GW-02R to lay a solid foundation for future generations.

Until Chiba Makoto took out a gun——

A silver pistol that did not change shape even when Tiga, who had transformed into Ultraman, pulled it hard.

"This is..." Horii's eyes almost popped out, but he was not looking at Tiga who was so close to him. After all, they were so familiar with each other and had seen each other so many times. Seeing Tiga who had become as tall as a person in front of him was no longer a surprise to him.

But Horii was surprised by such a tough pistol.

Although the strength of a person like Tiga is not as great as when they are dozens of meters tall, it is by no means ordinary. However, this gun did not change at all when Tiga mixed, pinched, pulled and tugged it in his hand.

Recalling what happened just now, Horii finally confirmed that Chiba Makoto's decision to build a giant super-powered mountain was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but that he had made certain preparations, at least the materials were available.

Although the gun has not been tested yet and its detailed data is unknown, its performance far exceeds any material that TPC has.

"An Ultra Pistol produced by the Land of Light," Chiba Makoto transformed back and threw the Ultra Pistol to Horii, saying, "This is a pistol used by the Land of Light for scientists to defend themselves. When it is fully charged, it can fire a laser that is as powerful as the Specium ray."

"That's it???"

Horii was even more shocked now. Although the power of Tiga's Spacium Beam was not very strong and was only slightly stronger than a small skill, it was still a beam. The laser emitted by this palm-sized pistol could actually be comparable to Ultraman's beam. It was too outrageous.

"This material should be enough to build GW-02R."

"I think it should be more than enough."

Horii swallowed, shocked by the material of the gun.

Such a small size and such great power means that the energy is highly compressed, which also indicates the strength of the material. Whether it can be used to build a giant mountain super power still needs to be calculated, but it is definitely enough to build GW-02R.

"Then we can go to the headquarters to approve the project." Chiba Makoto crossed his arms in front of him, looking confident of victory.

He traveled so far to visit Horii's laboratory, of course, either to reminisce about the past, but to start another project and then ask the headquarters for funds and resources.

The reason is very simple, it is to stop the "progress" of the police department and make the police department cause less trouble.

After all, whenever the police department gets into trouble, the audience laughs.

In order to save some energy and have fewer things to do, Chiba Makoto could only take things into his own hands.

How to take on the task?
Of course it costs more money.

Funds are limited. If you spend more, others will naturally have less.

How to do things without money?

Therefore, in order to have more peace in the world and less trouble in the police department, Chiba Makoto can only spend more money, and in order to spend more money, he has to set up more projects, and they have to be extremely expensive projects.

The super-large spaceship built by Dr. Yaoi was a bottomless pit of money. Now, Horii is building the Giant Mountain Super Power, which is also a bottomless pit of money.

With these two bottomless pits sucking money, it will definitely consume a lot of funds.

As for funds, if you don’t spend them, others will.

Therefore, Chiba Makoto now has to "help" the police department spend money.
