Chapter 432 Pacific Rim
After completing the preparations, Lin Hao opened the system interface and said:
"System, activate the time travel card!"
The system sound sounded immediately!
Ding: "The Myriad Worlds Crossing Card has been activated, and the card attribute is a wearing card!"
"We have explored the worlds that can be traversed: the monster world "Pacific Rim" and the urban world "Ode to Joy". Choose one to complete the task and you will traverse in ten minutes. The countdown is 9 minutes and 59 seconds!"
Hey~ It’s actually “Ode to Joy”, and the next world is an urban world again!
This is great. After defeating the monsters, I can go to this urban world to take a rest. Perfect!
Then he refocused his attention and confirmed without hesitation:
"System, travel through the world of Pacific Rim!"
The system's voice sounded again:
"Ding, host, please choose the category to use!"
Lin Hao glanced at the soul card and body card in the items and said:
"Flesh body crossing card!"
The system ding sound came:
"Ding, host, please choose the type of ID card to use!"
Lin Hao did not hesitate and confirmed directly:
“Use whiteboard ID badges.”
"Ding, host, please compile the identity card!"
Later, Lin Hao saw the automatically generated information on the identity card and began to compile the identity information in the "Pacific Rim" world.
The name must be the real name, and the age is naturally 25, which is the peak age for humans.
As for the issue of identity, since it is a blank ID card, it is best if he has no father or mother. Considering that it takes a huge amount of money to manufacture mecha in this world, Lin Hao must match certain assets...
In less than five minutes, Lin Hao completed the compilation of the identity card.
Name: Lin Hao
Age: 25 years old
Identity: A rich second generation without parents
Occupation: Mecha Hunter Academy student
Assets: 200 ton of gold (matched by Spy World)
Address: Automatically generated
Interpersonal relationships: Relations with all parties are acceptable!
When Lin Hao was compiling his identity information, his name, age, and identity were very simple, but he still spent some time thinking about his professional funds.
After all, there are two purposes for coming to this world. One is to drive a mecha to fight monsters, and the other is to learn how to make mechas!
You know, among the specialties of the world of "Pacific Rim", the best one is this giant mecha. It would be a pity if you don't learn the technology of manufacturing mecha!
The key is that this mecha technology is comparable to the technological level of the real world, so it is very likely that it can be manufactured in the real world.
Even if it is not manufactured, it will definitely have great uses in the future. For example, the synesthesia technology. Although it is difficult to drive a mecha weighing thousands of tons, it is really cool to drive airplanes, tanks, satellites, etc. weighing hundreds of tons.
Moreover, most of the worlds that Lin Hao traveled through were urban worlds, and the branch technologies related to mechas would definitely be of great use in other worlds.
Therefore, Lin Hao spent 5 destiny points to add the professional identity of a mecha student. You must know that the other items only cost 5 points in total.
In addition, Lin Hao also wanted a mecha that belonged entirely to him. It was mentioned in the movie that it cost 600 billion US dollars to build a mecha.
Therefore, Lin Hao matched the gold in the spy war world with 2020 tons (about 700 billion US dollars in ), and believed that this amount of money should be enough.
After all, after Lin Hao joined "Pacific Rim", he didn't have the time to make money, especially since it was such a huge fortune, so he just got it in one go.
"It's okay, that's it!"
完成身份编撰后,时间很快就进入倒计时,5、4、3、2、1!
······
The countdown returned to zero, and after a slight dizziness, when Lin Hao opened his eyes, he found himself in the world of "Pacific Rim".
At this moment, Lin Hao found himself lying on a bed in a metal room, which had a cyberpunk style.
"Wait!" Lin Hao discovered that there was a beautiful woman next to him.
Then, through the system memory, he immediately knew that this was his synesthesia teammate, Adele Britney, who was also his bedfellow.
They said they were overworked during the hell training last night, so the two tired people just rested together.
However, Lin Hao was not too surprised. This was the peak period of Mecha Hunters, and everyone had their own room instead of the centralized dormitories that were later in place.
After continuing to digest the identity information sent by the system, Lin Hao knew that he was in the Hunter Academy on Kodiak Island.
This Hunter Academy was established on July 2015, 7. It is a "Hunter Academy" that specializes in training mecha pilots and technicians, as well as maintenance personnel.
The Beckett brothers in the first scene of the movie, namely the brothers Raleigh and Yanxi, Cai Tiantong, as well as Newt and Dr. Gottlieb who have telepathy with monsters, all graduated from this Hunter Academy.
Not far from this island is the Gulf of Alaska, which is the Anchorage mecha base where the protagonist is located.
The base was built on November 2016, 11 and is currently equipped with three mechas, including the third-generation mecha "Danger Wanderer" driven by the protagonist brothers Raleigh Beckett.
Thinking back to the movie "Pacific Rim", the first scene was on February 2020, 2, when a level 28 monster code-named "Sickle Head" appeared in the waters of Alaska.
Lin Hao used a whiteboard ID card, and this ID card has an advantage, which is that it will appear one month before the first act.
In other words, the time when Lin Hao traveled through should be January 2020, 1, which was one month before the monster invasion!
But the starting point of the world of "Pacific Rim" is not at this time, but originated in the Triassic period 2.5 million years ago.
In a galaxy far away from the Earth, there is a yellow planet called "Anteverse", where lives a kind of highly intelligent creature called "Pioneer".
They have mastered advanced biotechnology, and they use wormholes to invade and colonize other planets with life to reproduce. Their tool of invasion is a biological weapon called "Kaiju Beast".
When the pioneers first came to Earth, the high-oxygen environment of the Earth was not suitable for their survival, and the colonization mission ended in failure.
But they did not give up the Earth, but waited for a more suitable time, until human industrial civilization flourished on the Earth, carbon monoxide emissions increased, the ozone layer became thinner, water pollution became more and more serious, and humans themselves created a habitable planet for the pioneers in disguise. Well, this is actually the movie introduction, but Lin Hao always feels that there are a lot of personal opinions in it, or let's talk about the monster invasion.
On August 2013, 8, the Pioneer opened a "wormhole" deep in the Pacific Ocean and visited the Earth again, triggering a magnitude 11 earthquake in San Francisco.
The first Kaiju landed in San Francisco and almost destroyed the entire city. Initially, the US military and the Royal Air Force launched a series of attacks on the monster, which lasted for a week but had no effect.
So they seized humanity's ultimate weapon and used three nuclear bombs to destroy it, but the environmental damage caused turned San Francisco into a barren land.
On the one hand, there is the radiation caused by the nuclear explosion, and on the other hand, there is the highly toxic blood in the monster's body, also known as poison blue.
Of course, the monster's corpse is not completely useless. In the movie, there is an illegal underground organization headquartered in a Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong.
The leader of this organization, Hannibal Chow, worked with PPPD to salvage the organs and tissues of kaiju and sell them on the black market for huge profits.
Because after removing the toxins from the monster's body, many parts of its organs are rich in rare elements, some of which are very useful to humans on Earth.
For example, muscle tissue can be used as a weight loss drug and can also prevent Parkinson's disease and hemiplegia.
And viscera can prevent heart disease and stroke, treat insomnia, middle-aged baldness, depression and anxiety, and even have anti-cancer effects;
The spinal cord can also prevent and treat anxiety and neurasthenia; the reproductive function can treat postpartum milk loss and incontinence in pregnant women; the monster bone meal also has an aphrodisiac effect, and even the feces are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, making them excellent agricultural fertilizers.
Subsequently, the "Pacific Rim Alliance", which is the PPDC in the movie, was established, with its headquarters in Hong Kong.
PPDC is a pan-Pacific international military organization, similar in nature to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is an international military group organization established by the United States, China, Japan, South America, Australia and other Pan-Pacific countries and regions to achieve targeted defense cooperation.
With the entire Pacific Rim region as its defense system, the PPDC has a common goal of containing, combating and eliminating the threat of the Kaiju and ensuring that all mankind is protected from extinction. Since its establishment, it has absorbed 21 member countries.
Later, scientist Gaspard Sheffield planned to develop a giant mecha to fight against Kaiju, and this project was named "Hunter Project".
A few years later, on February 2014, 2, the second invasion took place when the Kaiju - Chaos, attacked Manila in the Philippines, and humans were once again forced to use nuclear bombs.
The third invasion took place on June 2014, 6. Kaiju - the bad brain, attacked Cape San Lucas, Mexico. Humans still had to use nuclear bombs to solve the problem. This was the first monster to leave an intact corpse, and humans towed it away using an aircraft carrier.
In the fourth invasion on September 2014, 9, the Kaiju - Cutter, attacked Sydney, Australia. The Australian military lured Cutter away from the city of Sydney and used two nuclear bombs to destroy it, thus saving Sydney.
The turning point came on April 2015, 4, when the Kaiju, Karlov, attacked Vancouver, Canada. Catherine and Sergio piloted the Yukon, the first mecha to defeat a monster. Humanity thus officially entered the "Mecha Age".
However, this mecha was retired on the same day after it destroyed the monster.
The second mecha is China's mass-produced "Horizon Warrior" which was put into service on December 2015, 12. However, in China, this mecha is generally called Kuafu instead of Horizon Warrior.
A total of four mechas of this type were produced. Except for Unit 2 which served in Hong Kong and killed two monsters, the other three mechas each killed one monster, so the total number of monsters killed was five.
Currently there is only one remaining in service at the Lima base in South America, and it will be destroyed in a battle with a level 2025 monster in .
At present, there are several mechas in service at the Xiangjiang Dome Base, including the second-generation mecha "Lucky Seven" produced in 2016, the third-generation mecha "Shaolin Ranger" produced in 2017, and the fourth-generation mecha "Crimson Storm" produced in 2018.
"Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling!" The assembly bell rang at this time, and Lin Hao shouted, "Britney, get up and assemble!"
Britney was also startled, and no longer cared about the sudden exposure of her naked body. She immediately got up and put on her clothes, and then the two of them went to the training ground.
As a base for recruiting and training "drivers", the Hunter Academy mainly trains the students' physical and psychological qualities, and the training content is quite cruel and strict.
All students come from all over the world. They have to go through intense screening before entering the next stage of training. The screening is divided into three stages:
Stage One: Average body index. Lin Hao naturally meets this requirement, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the Mecha Academy.
The second stage is mainly about learning skills, which is divided into six sub-subjects, namely:
Knowledge related to driving mecha;
short-term and long-term memory capacity;
physical and mental stress resilience exercises;
coordination and synchronicity with one's partners (blood or non-blood related);
One-on-one combat skills;
combat simulation training;
Phase 3: On-the-job testing
Tactics and data processing related to mecha combat;
Deepen training of stress resistance;
"Drift Synaesthesia System" simultaneous test;
One-on-one combat skills hell training;
ruthless training in combat;
Only by passing the above three stages of training and surpassing one's own limits can one become a qualified "driver".
I won’t talk about the passing rate. It cannot be said that only one in ten thousand passes, but it can only be said that there is almost no pass. Among all the students, only a few can stay to the end and become official "Mecha Hunters".
At present, this group of people have completed all subjects and simulations. As long as they can operate the mecha synchronously with their teammates, they can graduate!
And today they are about to go to the Anchorage base to complete the final step and drive the mecha through synaesthesia.
Of course, if an incident such as a mecha running wild occurs, they will probably only be able to serve as reserve personnel, or transfer to other departments, such as the mecha maintenance department or technical department!
If Lin Hao only wanted to learn mecha manufacturing technology, it would be best for him to transfer to the technical department to study.
But Lin Hao is still planning to fight the monsters, so he should defeat the monsters first and then think of a way to develop mecha technology!
After everyone gathered, the instructor took four groups of people on a helicopter to the Anchorage base.
Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the Anchorage base. Looking at the busy base with people coming and going, they looked up and saw the 79-meter-high "Rover".
Next to it are the Australian-made "Tasmanian Tango" and the Canadian-made "Chrome General". It seems that this mecha was not destroyed, but retired in 2024.
"I have to say, this thing is really fucking big!" Lin Hao said with admiration.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited, even though there are many things taller than the Wanderer, such as the skyscrapers in big cities that are three or four hundred meters high.
But the problem is that this thing is a mecha, a war weapon that can move and attack!
Then Lin Hao found his teammate Britney, who was also staring blankly at the Wanderer, so he smiled and said:
"Britney, what are you still standing there for? It's our turn soon!"
"This thing is really big, I wonder what it feels like to drive!" Britney couldn't help but say.
"Damn, why does this sound weird!" Lin Hao thought as he looked at Britney.
Then Lin Hao took Britney, who was reluctant to leave, and went straight to the preparation area. After everyone lined up, he heard the instructor say:
"Adele Britney, Lin Hao, get ready. You two can do the synchronization test first!"
"Yes, sir!" Lin Hao and Britney said in unison.
