Chapter 439: The Aftermath of the Battle
The head of the Lucky No. 7 mecha was pulled off by the monster's tail, and the cockpit was dragged into the sea.

Minghao and Suyi endured the pain and controlled the Shaolin Ranger to stagger forward, grab the monster's tail, and snatch back the cockpit of Lucky No. 7.

When Lucky No. 7's head was snatched back, the monster's tail was raised high again, trying to poke the Shaolin Ranger again.

Fortunately, the Shaolin Ranger was prepared and took two steps back. He thought he would have to fight another fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the monster's tail suddenly fell off and fell into the sea.

"This monster is too difficult to deal with!" The Shaolin Ranger heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the monster was dead: "Fortunately it was just a last gasp!"

"Are you okay?" Minghao asked through the communicator, but the Hansen father and son did not respond, and then brought the cockpit of Lucky Seven in front of him.

Observing through the broken holes in their heads, we saw that the father and son were already unconscious. Fortunately, they were protected by connectors and brackets, otherwise they would have been injured in the fierce fight just now.

At this time, a communication came from the Xiangjiang Dome Base:

"Shaolin Rangers, how are you doing? Did something happen to Lucky Seven? We can't contact them now!"

"Just now the monster was..." Minghao then immediately recounted the battle that had just taken place.

Not to mention that the base sent a helicopter for the rescue, Lin Hao was also paying attention to this battle, or it could be said that Lin Hao was paying attention to every battle of monster invasion.

When Lin Hao learned that the Shaolin Ranger Mech was seriously injured and the Lucky No. 7 Mech was destroyed, he didn't think there was anything wrong at first, as it was not the first time such a thing had happened.

But when Lin Hao received the news that two mechas were damaged the next day, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

So Lin Hao temporarily entrusted the task of building his own mecha to another superior, and took a Jumping Eagle helicopter from Changzhou directly to the Xiangjiang Dome Base.

······
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain mixed with lightning was rumbling down. I didn't expect it to rain so heavily in Hong Kong.

A military helicopter flew across the sea and headed straight for the top of a dam built on the mountain by the sea.

The Broken Dome Base in Hong Kong was converted from a dynamic tidal hydroelectric power plant, and the dome above is a petal-shaped opening structure, paying tribute to the dome structure in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

When the rumbling helicopter landed on the helicopter landing platform of the dome base, Lin Hao saw the person in charge of the base at first sight.

That was Mr. Liu, who I met once when I came to the Xiangjiang base before.

"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Lin Hao stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mr. Liu.

"Hello again, Xiaolin!" Mr. Liu said with a faint smile: "I heard that you have already started manufacturing your mecha?"

When Lin Hao heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face:

"Yes, if everything goes according to plan, it can be manufactured within eight months!"

The last time they met at the Broken Dome Base, Mr. Liu looked at Lin Hao very much. He did not expect that when they met again, Lin Hao's identity was still different.

At the beginning he had high expectations for Lin Hao, but after a conversation with Lin Hao, he learned that the team led by Lin Hao was disbanded.

However, Lin Hao's arrival is still welcomed. For a driver like Lin Hao who has a record of kills, it is easy for him to find teammates with whom he can empathize.

But I didn't expect that Lin Hao asked for leave as soon as he arrived. I was a little unhappy at first, but unexpectedly, a few days later, I got a message from my comrades in Beijing.

Only then did he realize the great value of Lin Hao, who actually had the ability to drive a mecha alone, and was now building a mecha for him.

At the same time, he also brought back a lot of precious information from America, although in order to build the mecha, each country contributed its most advanced information.

But not surprisingly, although everyone has produced some advanced information, everyone is reserved, and the latest technology has not been updated subsequently.

I heard that several mechas at this base will be updated and upgraded in the near future, but I didn’t expect that before the update could be completed, Shaolin Ranger was seriously injured, and Lucky Seven’s mecha was almost damaged, and the driver was almost scrapped.

After getting on the elevator, Lin Hao couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, I heard that the monster this time seems to be a little different and almost destroyed two mechas?"

"Hmm!" Mr. Liu thought about the loss this time and said uncertainly, "It feels like the monster has found the weakness of the mecha!"

Looking out from the elevator glass at this time, I saw that the Shaolin Ranger's injured right arm had been removed, but it was not as conspicuous as the big hole on his forehead.

So Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh: "What a wild idea!"

Mr. Liu turned his head and glanced at Lin Hao, ignoring his joke. Lin Hao also realized that what he said was wrong, and then continued to observe the situation of the mecha.

Soon the elevator opened and Lin Hao followed Mr. Liu into the base.

The Broken Dome Base in Hong Kong is similar to the base in Alaska, both have 4 mecha entry and exit hatches, which means that the Hong Kong base can accommodate up to 4 mechas.

But Lin Hao knew that five years later in 2025, the Xiangjiang base would have six hatches capable of storing six mechas at the same time, and it seemed that construction had not started yet.

Lin Hao remembered the other two mechas, one was the Echo Sabre from the island country, and the other was the Vulcan Ghost from the Kangaroo country.

On the way to being transferred to the Xiangjiang base, these two mechas encountered a monster called "Virus". As a result, the mechas were dismembered by the monster and both died in the end.

Shaking his head, Lin Hao looked at the head of Lucky No. 7 lying on the ground. Judging from the irregular tearing marks on the neck, it was obviously pulled down by force.

"By the way, how are the Hansen father and son?" Lin Hao thought of the father and son, and then asked Mr. Liu.

"He suffered some external injuries and will probably need to rest for a few months. Fortunately, he has woken up!" Mr. Liu then looked at the head of the mecha that was pulled off and said:

"The most important thing is the mecha's head. The Scorpion Tail wrapped its tail around its neck and then forcibly pulled it off."

"So they have been mentally stimulated and need to rest for a while!" Mr. Liu said helplessly when thinking of the problems facing the base.

"It's good that you're okay!" Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Lin Hao comforted him:

"However, I heard that Kangaroo Country has built a new mecha called the Eureka Raider, and it seems that they want the Hansen father and son to go back and drive it!"

Mr. Liu had known about this matter for a long time, and he also understood what Lin Hao meant. Anyway, this father and son were both going to leave, so there was no need to worry too much about it.

However, Mr. Liu shook his head, then looked at the Red Storm who was still repairing it and said:
"There is only one Red Storm in the base right now, and its cooling system has not been fully repaired. Hopefully it can be repaired by the time the next monster invades."

"Fortunately, there are other bases that can provide support!"

Lin Hao looked up at the Crimson Storm and saw that this mecha had a unique appearance. It was a beautiful dark red in color, and the most eye-catching features were its three mechanical arms.

The moment he saw this mecha, all kinds of relevant data emerged in Lin Hao's mind.

Mecha name: Red Storm (China)

Model: Fourth generation mecha
Construction location: Changzhou

Launch date: August 2018, 8 Weight: 22 tons

Height: 76 meters

Operating system: "Sanyang" horizon gateway

Power core: "Midnight" ring processing core 9, turbo piston drive
Mecha body: pure titanium (not titanium alloy)
Fighting style: Chinese Kung Fu, Muay Thai

Special move: Thundercloud formation

Permitted passengers: 3 persons

Combat Mission: Battlefield near Xiangjiang River

Performance and equipment:
The head model is "2-Go", a three-person parallel integrated operating cabin with a full liquid crystal window structure and a zoom telescope function.

The neck is a 34R0111/sterno piston, located at the bottom of the operating cabin, which greatly enhances the flexibility of the connection between the neck and the torso.

The left arm is a double-arm separate structure, driven by 50 diesel engines, with hydraulic enhancement configuration and a large sawtooth hot wheel at the front end.

The right arm is an encrypted multi-lobed electromagnetic cannon with biometric recognition capabilities. It can lock onto the monster's skeleton and carry out targeted strikes on its vital points.

The feet are equipped with "Achilles" shock absorbers to enhance the balance of the mecha.

The ankles are equipped with magnetorheological dampers. Through this cutting-edge technology, "Red Storm" can perform large-scale flip fighting.

This also makes it the only mecha among all mechas that can perform the highly difficult "spin kick".

As for the production place of Crimson Storm, the movie and the official setting give two answers. The setting mentions that it is Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong, while the movie says it is Changzhou. There is a big ambiguity here!

According to the official setting, the pinyin letters "chang zhou" printed on Red Storm's body should be Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong.

But according to the actual situation, Hong Kong uses the Wade-Giles romanization system and cannot be spelled the same way as the mainland. The British pronunciation of Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong is "cheung chau".

But the movie also specifically emphasizes that the mecha is diesel-powered. Changzhou's diesel engine manufacturing industry has a long history, which seems more reasonable.

There is also the earliest mecha produced in China, which is also the only giant mecha that can be mass-produced in the world - "Horizon Warrior", which is produced in Qingdao.

So the question is, does China have two mecha production lines, or even three? But as can be seen from the film, China has only produced a few mechas in total, so it is obviously impossible to have such wasteful duplication of construction.

After arriving in the Pacific Rim world, Lin Hao was still confused until he began to design and manufacture his own mecha.

Lin Hao then realized that Changzhou was the production base of mechas, but at that time there were no Jumping Eagle helicopters for transportation, so transportation was very inconvenient.

Therefore, Changzhou was responsible for producing mecha parts, which were then transported to other bases for assembly. At that time, the Broken Dome base had not yet been built in Hong Kong, so it was assembled in a factory in Changzhou.

At that time, another Horizon Warrior was sent to a factory in Qingdao for assembly, ready to be used to guard the gateway to the capital, hence the problem of three production bases.

In terms of the weight data of the mecha, the first generation of mecha weighed around 7000-8000 tons.

As a result, starting from the second generation, it was only about 2000 tons, a 70% decrease in mass. If based on the weight and density of the human body, the former should be more appropriate for such a height.

The reason why it is only about 2000 tons is that various countries have used some of their own high-tech technologies to make up for the shortcomings of weight with quality.

After all, a creature weighing seven or eight thousand tons would probably be unable to move an inch with just the tiny area of ​​its feet.

Shaking his head, not thinking about these things anymore, and retracting his gaze, Lin Hao said to Mr. Liu:

"Mr. Liu, let's go watch the mecha video!"

Mr. Liu nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll call the Shaolin Ranger's pilots as well. After all, they are the ones who witnessed it!"

After taking a final look at the three mechas, Lin Hao followed Mr. Liu back to the office.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw a young couple. At this time, Mr. Liu introduced:
"Minghao and Suyi, the pilots of the Shaolin Ranger!"

"Lin Hao, before at the Anchorage base, drove a Ranger and killed a monster!"

"Hello!" Lin Hao shook hands with the couple.

After both sides introduced themselves, everyone watched the video of the battle together, while Minghao and Suyi explained from time to time.

Half an hour later, after watching it twice, Lin Hao paused the video and analyzed:

"You see, the monster's tail spikes always go towards the cockpit at the head of the mecha. Also, you can see that Lucky Seven's head was twisted off, and a hole was poked in the forehead of Shaolin Ranger."

"It can be seen that the monster has already known the weakness of the mecha's head." Having said this, Lin Hao looked at everyone in the conference room and asked:
"Then how did the monster know that the mecha's head is a weak point!"

At this time Minghao frowned and said uncertainly:

"Could it be that it was discovered during repeated battles?"

Lin Hao shook his head, then adjusted the screen forward to the beginning, captured several frames in succession, and then pointed at the monster's mouth and said:

“Didn’t you see? When the monster rushed towards the Shaolin Ranger, its swordfish mouth was pointing towards the Shaolin Ranger’s head. Look at the second and third pictures…”

Then they looked at the screen and found that the monster had been aiming at the head of the mecha with its swordfish-like spikes from the very beginning.

Only then did Minghao say with lingering fear:
"Fortunately, the Shaolin Ranger is quite fast underwater, and we were able to dodge him every time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable!"

At this time, Mr. Liu looked at the screen and asked curiously:

"But how did the monster know that?"

In fact, Lin Hao already had a guess in his mind. You know, in Pacific Rim, when Dr. Newton went to see Hannibal Chau, Hannibal Chau discovered that Newton had synaesthesia with the monster and became extremely excited.

When he took off his sunglasses, his eyes turned red like Newton's.

This undoubtedly shows that Hannibal Chau had experienced synaesthesia with the monster before, and in the film, the mecha damage rate soared rapidly starting from this year.

This is also the reason why almost everyone later turned to support the High Wall Project and unanimously agreed to abandon the Mecha Project.

Of course, although everyone seems to have given up on the surface, who will really give up?

This can be seen from the fact that after the wormhole was destroyed, various fifth and sixth generations were quickly constructed.
