Chapter 436: The Noisy Boy Yukon Mecha
"Let's go to China!" Lin Hao did not disappoint Britney and directly gave her the answer she wanted.
"Great!" Britney said excitedly, "So when do we leave?"
Lin Hao smiled and said:
"Don't be too anxious, those are just our guesses. It's best to stay in the base first and confirm Pandecost's attitude!"
"If necessary, I will go back to China to make some preparations, and then we will go there after we have contacted them!"
Britney nodded and felt that what Lin Hao said made sense, so she said:
"Okay, I listen to you!"
······
There were no monster invasions in the following months.
Lin Hao and Britney can only do the most basic training every day. It’s not that they don’t want to practice on the computer, but they are rarely scheduled to do so.
However, these were all within Lin Hao's expectations, so in addition to training, Lin Hao also often hung out in the Anchorage base.
Although he was said to be wandering around, Lin Hao was actually collecting design information about the mecha in the base. The Wanderer was manufactured in the Anchorage base, so the original information was available here.
At the same time, you can also learn about the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechas here, preparing to manufacture your own mechas in the future!
However, the mecha design information was easy to obtain, but Lin Hao was helpless with the synesthesia system. It was not because he could not learn it, but because it was too time-consuming.
It is impossible to manufacture every component of the mecha by himself. Lin Hao only needs to master the core components and design drawings, and then design his own mecha based on them.
During this month, Lin Hao also went to Kodiak Island and copied the theory of mecha design.
The person who had the original design was Gaspard Sheffield, the scientist who first called for the creation of mechas to fight monsters.
Lin Hao marked him mentally, activated his illusion skill, looked through all his memories about mecha design, and studied him in the following days.
And it was at this time that Lin Hao discovered the red storm!
Well, Lin Hao always thought that Xiaohong’s name should be Crimson Storm, not Storm Red.
Lin Hao used his illusion skills to look through Gaspard Sheffield's memories, and only then did he realize that the three-person operating system of Crimson Storm was actually designed by his lover.
The mecha's operating system and synesthesia system were designed by his lover, Catherine Lightcup.
Speaking of this, after Lin Hao finished looking through his memories, driven by curiosity, he found Catherine Lightcup again. After reading her memories, Lin Hao finally understood the whole process of the incident.
It turns out that after the "Fourth Invasion Incident", Gaspard Sheffield began to think about how to find a more effective and environmentally friendly way to kill monsters without using nuclear bombs.
One day, he saw his son playing the "Fight Godzilla" game with a toy robot in the house, and he was suddenly inspired, and an idea emerged in his mind.
This is the origin of the Hunter Mech program.
The plan is to create a humanoid mecha that is huge enough to rival the monsters and then launch a simple, fierce physical attack on the monsters.
This prevents the monster's blood and toxins from flowing into the ocean and evaporating into the atmosphere through the wounds under the action of hot weapons.
To put it bluntly, just like how Lin Hao had hammered the sickle head before, the monster should be beaten until it had "internal bleeding". To use the words in martial arts novels, this is called "internal injuries, broken meridians, and complete destruction of martial arts" to end the monster's invasion.
After having this idea, how to make the mecha move becomes a big problem.
To this end, Gaspar found Catherine Lightkamp, a neuroscientist at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense and his old lover.
The reason why they are old lovers is that Catherine is Gaspard's student.
The teacher and student had been flirting with each other since college. At that time, Gaspard and his wife Nancy were already engaged, so Catherine became the third party.
The key point is that after Gaspar got married, his family was harmonious and his son was well-behaved, but he still had an affair with Catherine.
Finally, he was caught cheating in bed by his wife Nancy. Not only did his marriage end, but his relationship with his lover Catherine also came to an end.
From then on, Gaspar became a smoker and alcoholic and became penniless. Although Catherine rose rapidly and joined DARPA, she often took leave and went to the hospital due to her excessive reliance on antidepressants, and was almost fired.
It can be said that the incident of keeping student lovers ruined the lives of the two geniuses, and they were too ashamed to see each other. If it were not for this "match made in heaven", it would have been almost impossible for the two to rekindle their old love.
So after Gaspar's American-style "the world needs your help" and his righteous persuasion, Catherine was moved to join his mecha plan.
At this time, the Pacific Rim Defense Force (PPDC) was established, and the two met Stark Pandecost Pandecost at the Seoul Summit in South Korea, who was very interested in their plan.
Then both of them joined PPDC, which is the PPDC test site on Kodiak Island, one to study humanoid mechas, and the other to solve the problem of bridging the mechas and the driver's brain.
In this way, this plan created a pair of wild love ducks on Kodiak Island where they lived together day and night. Gaspar was unable to win back his wife Nancy, so he simply threw himself into the arms of his old lover.
Up to this point, it should be an old-fashioned American ending, with the two of them sympathizing with each other, falling in love, getting married and having children, a perfect ending.
However, the subsequent development of the story is much more interesting than this ending.
With the help of Pandecoster, the Mecha Hunter Project was successfully launched. The mecha was quickly designed by Gaspar, and the operating system Pons was also developed by Catherine.
But the difficulty of brain bridging lies in the "Pons system", how to connect the machine to the human brain nerves.
But the problem was that the money previously funded by Stark Pendercost had been used up. Now, not only was there a lack of money, but the key was that there was not even anyone to conduct the experiment.
In order to continue their research, the two had to turn to Pandecoster for help and apply for funding and experimental volunteers from him.
Stark Pendercost certainly couldn't accept all their nonsense, so he tried the unfinished Pons system himself. After the bridge, his movements successfully activated a mecha arm.
Although the problem arose again after the success, it cost money to perfect the Pons system, and it cost a lot of money to build a complete mecha.
What to do? Stark Pendercost knew that this was not something he could support alone, and he had to seek help from PPDC member countries to allocate funds.
Stark Pendercost was really unlucky to have these two people. He lost all his money without achieving any results. He even suspected that these two were swindlers.
It's also my fault for being impulsive at the beginning. Now I'm in a difficult situation. I have already invested so much money and finally achieved some results, but in the end I need to spend such a huge amount of money.
In the end, even if he destroyed the monster, he would not get much benefit. He might even have to deal with endless messes. This plan would fail sooner or later.
There was no choice but to apply for the funds. Although the application was approved, Stark Pendercost's concerns finally came true. Later, the Mecha Hunter Project was indeed frozen due to funding issues. Not long after, Gaspard and Catherine came to Stark Pendercost again, and Stark Pendercost actually asked for the money.
The plan then went smoothly, and then came the most critical step of the Mecha Hunter Plan, which was to test it with real people on the machine, and volunteers were also a problem.
So Stark Pendercost helped again and recruited a group of fearless military personnel to participate in the test. The evaluation criteria were physical, psychological and spiritual indexes.
Gaspar, along with Catherine, hand-picked one of the top officers: Lieutenant Sergio D'Onofrio.
Now comes the interesting part!
Something strange happened during the test. It turned out that when Catherine was bridging the driver, she found through computer data that Sergio's dopamine index had soared.
At first she thought that this handsome guy was forced to participate in the experiment, but when she asked, she found out the problem. It turned out that Sergio had a crush on Catherine.
She and Gaspar were just about to get married, so she felt overwhelmed, and because of Sergio's abnormal behavior, he failed the test.
Since Sergio temporarily did not meet the requirements, another candidate was recruited, U.S. Air Force Captain Casey Adam to replace the former for the test.
Unexpectedly, Sergio's thought of the beautiful woman saved his life.
It turns out that Gaspar made the prototype mecha, which was the first-generation mecha "Noisy Boy". Casey Adam tried it on the machine, but unexpectedly something went wrong on the first try.
Under the visit of representatives of PPDC member countries, the information processing data of the mecha action exceeded Casey's neural load after being transmitted to his brain.
This caused a mental breakdown and the mecha to go out of control, Casey died, and the "Noisy Boy" was destroyed. Such a big incident happened in front of so many representatives from different countries, and the Mecha Hunter Program was ordered to be stopped.
It was during this test that they discovered that a human being couldn't fucking pilot a mecha.
That is, one person can only activate one arm. In order to prevent the mecha from becoming paralyzed, at least two people are required to operate it.
Seeing their hard work go to waste, everyone including Stark Pendercost tried every possible means to save the plan.
At this time, Catherine was more concerned about Sergio, because the latter felt very guilty about the death of his companion and demanded to continue operating the machine.
This made Catherine like him more, so she comforted Sergio and asked him to postpone the next experiment. However, with Catherine's consolation, their relationship developed rapidly.
On the other hand, Gaspar was a bit eager for quick success and came up with a bunch of ideas, but they were all the bad ideas of "saving the machine but not the people", because he knew that if the mecha was destroyed again, this funding gap would never be filled and the plan would really be over.
But Catherine holds the opposite view. She believes that human life is more valuable than machines, and the driver's safety must be guaranteed even if the plan is terminated.
Because of this, a rift developed in the relationship between the two scientist lovers.
Or maybe it's said that honest people deserve to be cheated on. Gaspar was wholeheartedly devoted to the Mech Hunter Project and put all his thoughts on the mech, but he didn't notice that his old lover, who was about to get married, had already become an intimate with Sergio.
How stupid is this? Both sides are doing research, one is researching mechas, and the other is researching people.
The key is that dealing with people is much more interesting than dealing with mechas. Therefore, the hard-working science and engineering guy here studies mechas all day long, while Catherine and Sergio over there do scientific research while having all kinds of frictions under the moonlight.
However, Sergio still couldn't drive the car on his second try, and it seemed that the handsome guy's nervous system could not withstand the pressure.
In desperation, Catherine also tried the experiment on the computer herself. At this time, she and Sergio had already fallen in love with each other after many days of friction.
On the test bench, they shared memories with each other. Catherine saw Sergio's dreams and emotions for herself, and Sergio also read Catherine's heart.
Therefore, the two are highly synchronized. This is the prototype of the "Drift Synaesthesia System". The brain consciousness wavelength and synchronization rate of the two drivers must be highly consistent.
Catherine was delighted but also felt guilty towards Gaspard, so she confessed everything to her old lover.
Unexpectedly, Gaspard already knew about their affair and withdrew voluntarily with great dignity.
In fact, Gaspard had long known about the friction between Catherine and Sergio.
The "noisy boy" over there was just blown up, and now such a thing happened over here. Isn't this just making things worse?
At first, Gaspar was very jealous and had several arguments with Catherine about this.
For a while, he seemed to return to his depressed days of drinking all day. Perhaps he turned his grief and anger into strength, or perhaps he loved the country more than the beauty.
Gaspar, who has come to his senses, begins to devote all his energy to repairing and perfecting "Noisy Boy", but it is not a pleasant feeling to wear a green hat for a long time, and he still wants to win back his lover.
During Catherine's first computer experiment, he discovered that there was a synchronization between Catherine and Sergio, and he also realized that Catherine no longer had him in her heart.
He then let the two of them develop freely and devoted himself entirely to the development of mechas.
In April 2015, the monster "Karlof" suddenly invaded the Yukon Territory of Canada, and the "Noisy Boy", which was still in an experimental state, was ordered to attack.
Firstly, it is to resist the attacks of monsters, and secondly, the Yukon area is used as an experimental battlefield to test the combat capability of mechas.
Catherine and Sergio were assigned to pilot mechas and engage in a battle with Karlov.
In the end, with the simultaneous driving of the two, "Noisy Boy" successfully destroyed the monster.
Gaspard was surprised and relieved after winning the final battle. He didn't know whether it was because his lover had found true love or because the mecha had successfully resisted the monster.
But no matter what, Gaspar eventually became the first hero in the Mecha Hunter program because of his mecha design.
Catherine and Sergio went down in history, and the lovers finally got married. To commemorate this victory, the first generation of mecha was renamed "Noisy Yukon" and retired with honor.
This is also the first time in human history that a monster has been killed without relying on nuclear weapons, and the first time that a mecha has faced a monster and won.
The operating system of "Crimson Storm" was developed by Dr. Catherine Lightkamp, which includes the three-person neural connection operating specifications and the triple Pons bridge system.
This special operating system was designed specifically for the Tang triplets. Therefore, the three Tang brothers and the "Storm Red" are highly integrated. Any other three-pilot combination will most likely not be able to control the mecha.
After obtaining this information, Lin Hao studied mecha design while using illusion skills on Catherine to let her develop a single-player operating system.
