Chapter 506 - 506 Battle Mech Zero
506 Battle Mech Zero
Two days later, at the seaside base, a huge mech that was more than sixty meters tall finally revealed its true appearance.
This mech stood with incomparable dignity. Its two feet landed on the deep seabed, so only half of its body was revealed. It was as if a god had descended to the mortal world, and people were in awe.
Its body was full of strength and muscle lines. Its arms were thick and powerful, and its five fingers were like sharp blades that shone with a chilling light.
It wore a thick helmet on its head, and its two eyes emitted a dark green light that flickered continuously. This indicated its combat level and state.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the mech giant had many hidden mechanisms, including a secret chamber and firing device. They were all hidden in corners that were not visible.
They could trigger the mech’s different battle forms, and they were protected by thick layers to prevent accidental injuries.
Even if these devices were destroyed, the core control device inside the mech could still ensure that it was always in the best state to receive remote feedback.
Looking at this mech, the engineers and technical workers were filled with pride.
Although the internal core of the mech had been developed by Wu Mo alone, the construction of the external model had been a result of their hard work.
“Chief Engineer Wu, this is simply the greatest invention of the century! There’s nothing like it!” an engineer said excitedly.
He suddenly thought of the floating shuttle and the dragon control device, and he frowned.
When these inventions were put together, it was difficult to determine the winner. However, one thing was certain: This mech was definitely one of the strongest inventions.
Wu Mo nodded, his eyes showing satisfaction.
The design of the mech in his mind was more than ninety-nine percent accurate.
Although it was not perfect, he was very satisfied.
Next was the exciting test segment.
The external and internal structure of the mech seemed fine.
However, what was truly exciting was whether this mech would be as perfect as Wu Mo had imagined when it was operating at full power.
Wu Mo and a group of engineers sat nervously in the command room as they stared at the screen.
At this moment, the command room was about five hundred meters away from where the mech was standing. This was only the initial testing distance.
In the later stages of actual combat, the distance would be increased by at least a thousand meters for safety.
Within a kilometer, the high-density ray device could provide cover fire. If the distance was too close, it would be easy for the monsters to destroy it.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Wu Mo, and they were filled with anticipation.
Wu Mo took a deep breath and gently pressed the start button.
Thump! A crisp sound rang out, and the huge mech seemed to wake up. The sound of wheels and bearings turning rang out.
Creak! Creak!
The mech’s arm slowly rose up toward the sky, and it looked like the mech was holding the sky with one arm.
“Haha, we’ve succeeded! As expected, it’s operating normally!” An engineer could not help but laugh excitedly.
However, Wu Mo reminded him, “It’s too early to celebrate. We have to conduct a full range of movement tests on this mech to ensure that there are no mistakes in any of its movements. This is because once a certain action fails, it’ll likely cause the entire system to be paralyzed at a critical moment. We need to eliminate all hidden dangers in the early stages to ensure that the fault tolerance rate is one hundred percent.”
Following that, the huge mech waved its other arm and raise both arms into the sky. It looked invincible.
Following that, the mech displayed various poses.
It raised one of its legs and stomped it hard into the sea.
Then, it waved its fists forward in a series and formed a fast combination of punches.
After that, the mech quickly retreated again and did a few sprints.
In this all-rounded test, the mech displayed astonishing flexibility and formidable strength.
Like a surge of boiling blood, this huge fellow was undoubtedly the perfect embodiment of combat!
After a long and intense one-hour test, the final conclusion was that this giant mech could achieve jaw-dropping perfection in every movement they had designed.
Right then, Wu Mo said excitedly, “Everyone, your hard work during this period of time has been fruitful. The performance of this mech has exceeded our expectations. I’ll ask the old chief to credit everyone for this!”
All the engineers and technical workers were grinning from ear to ear. They were proud that they had participated in the construction of mankind’s first mech. This one-time success made everyone feel unprecedented joy.
They were also secretly looking forward to whether such a mech could resist those terrifying sea monsters in actual combat.
All of this would only be known when it enter a real battlefield.
At this moment, the news spread out. The old chief was the first to learn about this matter, and he quickly rushed to the port base of Shen Gang.
When he saw this steel giant with his own eyes, he was also amazed.
“This powerful battle mech is comparable to the god of war in ancient mythology. The majestic image of this mech undoubtedly symbolizes China’s determination to never give up and march forward bravely!”
The old chief was extremely excited. He realized that the birth of this mech marked an important turning point in the battle against the sea monsters.
From then on, humans would no longer be as passive as before. Instead, they would be able to take the initiative and completely trample those sea monsters under their feet.
“Sea monsters, you were arrogant in the past. Now that our mechs are on the stage, you’ll know how powerful we are!” an officer could not help but mutter excitedly.
After that, the old chief solemnly announced that he would give this mech a name and hold a grand debut ceremony for it.
At that time, it would be broadcast live so that all the people in China and even the world could witness its power!
Now, the old chief’s naming ability was put to a severe test.
Everyone gathered together and frowned. They were deep in thought. What should they name this new mech?
The name had to be filled with meaning. It did not need to be flashy, but it had to represent the expectations and hopes of the Chinese people for this mech.
As the person who personally developed this war mech, Wu Mo was pretty much the father of the mech.
He was present, but since the old chief was there to name the name, Wu Mo naturally had no say in it.
The old chief contemplated for a moment and slowly said, “It represents the fire of hope, and we’re also at ground zero, where China and the entire human race has been fighting against the sea monsters.”
Zero?
Wu Mo repeated those two syllables, and his eyes gradually lit up.
The name seemed ordinary, but it had a unique flavor when examined carefully.
Zero represented the beginning. As the humans’ first war mech, this name was too apt.
“Good! Not bad, Zero is indeed very suitable. This mech is a new beginning for all of China and humanity!” an officer could not help but praise.
Hence, this mech was officially named Zero, and Zero’s debut ceremony would be held soon.
Once the media broadcast this news, it caused a sensation!
