American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 6 Young man, bah, Brother Shao, do you want a partner? [This chapter is full of background introduction]

It was cold and windy.

The world is in depression.

In fact, there are also all walks of life that are depressed.

Since August 2013, 8, the future direction of this world has completely deviated from the course.

People's fantasies have become reality.

The world has ushered in an unknown [invader].

It's just that the intruder is not an alien warship in fantasy, but a behemoth crawling out of the wormhole that suddenly appeared in the depths of the Pacific Ocean!

The first behemoth was later named Axhead.

Before it, people never thought that this walking giant could withstand their technological weapons.

After it, people knew the powerlessness of today's technological weapons in the face of such a behemoth.

After the ax head landed in San Francisco, people poured endless ammunition on it in a few hours, but still failed to stop the opponent's progress, and finally had to use three nuclear bombs to destroy it.However, at this moment, a prosperous city has also become ruins, and it has become the cemetery of the ax head of this giant beast.

What makes the world even more frightening is that the attack by the behemoth is not an exception. Six months later, the second attack came quietly without anyone's expectation, and then the third attack nearly four months later. attack, and the fourth attack three months later.

In these three attacks, people once again used the ultimate weapon to turn the crisis into safety. In addition to paying a large number of casualties and the destruction of the city again, people have also seen one after another the powerlessness of their own technological weapons in the face of these behemoths!The radiation of the ultimate weapon can be reduced to the minimum by various methods, but the blood toxicity of the monster itself, after soaking in the ground and volatilizing, will turn the local area into a barren land of death.

Under the pressure of this ensuing crisis, the authorities of various countries in the world can no longer sit idly by, and can no longer regard this giant beast attack as an accident like a natural disaster, completely abandon their illusions and cooperate.

In 2014, [Pacific Rim Alliance], also known as PPDC, was established.Headquartered in Hunan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.

At the first PPDC summit, many scientists put forward their own proposals.Some scientists proposed to study more reliable weapons of targeted destruction, and some, under the suggestion of the funder group behind them, suggested that they could build a high wall to stop monsters!Some scientists have even proposed the construction of [Humanity's own monster] to fight against the giant mecha project of invading monsters: the Hunter Project.It's just that among the various proposals at that time, this proposal did not have a high priority.

Because no one can estimate the time required for the success of this plan.

But the scientist who put forward this proposal, Gaspar Sheffield, did not give up. He approached one of the heads of PPDC who was very interested in his plan: Styke Pantecost, hoping that he could master it in his own hands. funds were invested in this project.After receiving investment and support, he also attracted his former student and disgraceful old friend, Catherine Lightcup, a well-known scientist in the field of brain neuroscience.

But after only three months, the research team of Gaspar and Catherine achieved incredible results, and they were very close to the success of the project.In less than two months, the first prototype of the product of the Hunter Project [Noisy Boy] has begun testing.This kind of rapid progress, as if the research speed of God's help, also made the officials of various countries who had doubts about this plan before increase their investment.

However, things are always twists and turns.

The first human-machine link test failed, resulting in the death of the experimenter.Tests have proved that only one person's neurons cannot bear the mental load of linking and operating with the products of the Hunter Project.The previously promising project cast a bit of a shadow.Styke Pantecost's enthusiasm also cooled down after blows again and again.However, at this moment, the sunk cost he invested in this project has left him with no way out. He can only grit his teeth and use various relationships and contacts to re-fund the search for Gaspar and the two.

And Gaspar and the two are really like the chosen ones. In just [-] days, Catherine developed a [synaesthesia] system that can synchronize the brain nerves of the two drivers.

When another Kaiju beast attack appeared two months later, Catherine and her partner Sergio, who took part in the battle, drove the first prototype mecha [Noisy Boy] and completed the first time to defeat the giant beast with the mecha. achievement.This greatly encouraged people's despair, and made the popularity of mechs soar all over the world!
As the first successful project invested by PPDC, the countries behind it also took the opportunity to decide the route.

Mecha maintenance bases have sprung up one after another, and military weapons and manpower from various countries have also settled in. The Hunter Academy, which is popular all over the world, has also begun to recruit students from all over the world.

Everything seems to be going well.

At this moment, nearly 11 years have passed since the first Kaiju beast appeared.

In 11 years, the world has changed beyond anyone's imagination ten years ago.Almost all the world's resources are poured into the hunter project, a gold-eating behemoth.If it weren't for the fact that this project involves too many branches, and there are many scientific and technological achievements in it that can be used in other fields, the funds of all countries in the world may have long been unable to bear the mecha hunters who leave the factory like dumplings.Even so, the Hunter program has overwhelmed the finances of countries.

As we all know, when the investment in war is too large, it will correspondingly affect the investment in society.Now, although all countries don't talk about the chaos of demons dancing, except for a few countries and cities, many places are mostly in chaos.There are even unbelievable monster worship groups rampant among them.They believe that Kaiju Beast is a punishment given to human beings, and human beings should not resist, but accept it with joy and piousness.

Of course, with ten years of momentum and achievements, the mech admirers are also not small.Even the fanatics among them, as opposed to the monster worship groups who regard monsters as gods of destruction, regard mechs as guardian gods.Let's call the seven well-known driver and manufacturer groups in the past ten years the Seven Mechanic Gods!
Catherine Lightcap, who created the man-machine mental synaesthesia system and endowed mecha with [consciousness].

The father of mechs, Gaspar Sheffield, promoted and created the first mechs.

He knows the data and information of each monster like the back of his hand, including the genius Cai Tiantong who has the right to classify and name the monsters.

Newton Gessler and Herman Gottlieb, who study the weaknesses of monsters, and use their own mathematical models to study and predict the attack frequency, number, and appearance time of Kaijumon.

The only mecha manipulator known to the world who independently manipulated the first-generation mecha Tango wolf to defeat the Kaiju beast after his partner was severely injured and lost consciousness, the marshal of PPDC and the instructor of the Hunter Academy: Stike Pan Ticoste.

And finally, Luke Field, who mysteriously appeared three years ago and helped Shaw Industries back to life with his own efforts, became the giant of the world's mecha industry chain.

……

Looking at the desolate scenery outside the window, Shao Zhiwen, head of Shaw Industries, couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Luke Field.That astonishingly young young man, that sentence [youth, bah, Brother Shao, do you want to join us? 】The greetings are still fresh in his memory.Of course, what made him remember even more deeply, and the one who immediately let go of all his worries and chose to partner with Luke Field was a two-meter-tall pocket-sized mechanical monster that was beside Luke Field at that time.

That was the first Kaiju beast ax head that everyone could recognize at a glance!

It seems to be made of a pile of broken copper and rotten iron. It is not painted and looks a bit ugly, but it is extraordinarily agile and obedient!

　PS: The information about the first Kaiju Beast in the movie is that it was bombed for six days. Two of the three nuclear bombs missed the vital point, and one hit the vital point before killing it.Here are a few hours from the manga.For six days, the defensive resistance of the first generation Kaiju Beast was too strong.

PS2: The mailing of the contract was not smooth today, and several couriers were not delivered to Shanghai.In the end, I found Boss Shun, but he just accepted it. If it can be sent tomorrow, it will be sent, and if it cannot be sent, it will be returned.Twists and turns.
