The meeting of the reincarnationists is over.
Fu Qinghai issued the official identity of PPDC to all players who obeyed arrangements, followed commands and had certain combat capabilities - a temporarily registered private security company, and all the players were registered under the company and became PPDC's security contractors.
The United Nations has begun to fully fund PPDC.
PPDC and its related contractors once again obtained a large amount of funds and massive resources. The restart of the "Jaeger Project" was not just a restart, but also an addition of fuel and bricks and tiles. The entire earth was working at full speed to build Mecha Hunters.
A bigger, stronger, waaaghier MechHunter.
The most direct manifestation is that the "secondary upgrade and transformation" plan of the mecha hunter "White Scar" is actually approaching completion faster than the "initial upgrade and transformation" plan - because PPDC has more resources and is no longer in the era of tightening its belt and relying on a monster black market merchant for funding, and Marshal Panticost's support for Fu Qinghai has never changed.
Everything is going in the right direction.
PPDC is rich again.
Players in the human camp now have official status.
......
Hong Kong, the slum of bones.
After attacking the Broken Dome Base in Xiangjiang, Laust once again gathered the reincarnations of the Pioneer camp.
"As you can see, folks, things have changed."
Lauster said in a deep voice,
"PPDC has survived this period of low combat effectiveness. Although the losses were very heavy, it has not been completely destroyed."
If it weren't for the final victory of the major events in the plot line, Laust would not be willing to casually call the reincarnations to assemble, because this would increase the chances of him being exposed.
"So what are you going to do, Lauster?"
Someone asked.
"We can't fight the Mech Hunters, so let's use the old method - destroy the scientific research power of the Broken Dome."
Lauster said.
"I conducted reconnaissance outside the Anchorage Shattered Dome some time ago. They have strengthened the security of the base. There are several more small mechas there. I recognized the mechas from The Matrix and Avatar, but there is another one I don't recognize. These small mechas are obviously player equipment, and their combat effectiveness should be strong."
One person interrupted.
Lauster grinned and said slowly:
"Last time, they successfully infiltrated the Broken Dome Base in Xiangjiang and caused an explosion. Afterwards, the PPDC launched a background investigation and most of the low-level members of the Monster Followers were captured. However, there is still one Monster Follower who is the most hidden and has the highest status and has not revealed his identity. This is a very good chess piece. I am even a little reluctant to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Laust is involved with both the black market traders and the monster cult, which is why he is the leader.
"Dr. Newton and Dr. Herman are dead. I saw the obituaries released by PPDC. Who is in charge of the design and development of the Mecha Hunter now?"
A reincarnation asked curiously.
Lauster replied:
"One is Qingshan. I know him very well. He is a technical sergeant in the Space Marines. Although I don't know where he got the Titan manufacturing technology, he obviously has the technical ability. As for the other person, the chess piece has never contacted him. It only said that he is a scientist named 'Xiao Fei'."
After a pause, Lauster continued:
"Qingshan's personal combat power is very strong. I am very sure that no one here can be his opponent... Don't be unconvinced. I have fought him personally. That guy has many hidden tricks and is very insidious and cunning. We must wait for an opportunity, wait for the monster to attack again when Qingshan has no time to take care of other things, so that we can completely destroy the scientific research power of Anchorage Shattered Dome."
A reincarnation asked,
"You mean Qingshan is the pilot of the mecha hunter named 'White Scar'?"
Lauster nodded:
"That's right. According to what the chess piece said: 'Qingshan' is the pilot and 'Xiaofei' is the scientist. If we take care of the latter, the Anchorage Shattered Dome Base will lose half of its scientific research capabilities. We can slowly consider the rest."
"agree."
"Second."
"Follow the instructions."
The reincarnations all agreed.
......
Broken Dome, Anchorage, Alaska.
A large office.
Fu Qinghai is on the phone with General Quan:
"Lao Quan, we are old acquaintances. I will tell you straight, monster blood is very useful. It affects the combat effectiveness of mecha hunters. Hurry up and salvage it for me... at least three tons."
"Except for a small amount reserved for scientific research, we have sold all the remaining blood to private contractors."
General Quan said with some embarrassment.
"That's easy. Just buy it back. Don't you have money now? Just buy it at a premium."
Fu Qinghai spoke loudly.
Just after hanging up the phone, Xiao Fei walked in and asked:
"Khan, you're looking for me?"
Fu Qinghai nodded and asked,
"Weren't we unable to manufacture melta weapons before?"
"Yes, because there is no super-refined and multi-blessed holy promethium as fuel. In fact, it is not impossible to give it more time. We need to improve the existing petrochemical industry technology on Earth. The refining and processing of promethium is not a complicated thing."
"I have an idea. We can use monster blood as fuel. Its calorific value is much higher than promethium. Do you think it will work?"
"It's theoretically feasible, but we need to solve the problem of container corrosion. Whether it's the inner wall of the gun barrel or the inner wall of the engine, the monster blood is too corrosive. You may not see any effects in a short period of time, but it will definitely affect the life of the weapon in the long run."
Before the corrosive problem was solved, black market traders and PPDC mainly relied on freezing to transport monster blood. Crystallized monster blood is much less corrosive, but this obviously cannot be used as fuel and ammunition.
"Why do you think I specifically went to that Matthew to buy the alloy formula from Wieland Tangu Company?"
"As expected of you, you are the Chapter Master. You have a far-sighted vision and are truly admirable!"
Xiao Fei said with a grin.
The worldview of the AVP universe is mainly constructed by the comic series of Dark Horse Comics. The two "Alien vs. Predator" movies are just for fun and did not spend much effort to construct a complete worldview.
In the AVP universe, humans, aliens, and Predators love and hate each other. Humans and Predators have been dealing with aliens for a long time, and each has developed a highly corrosive alloy against alien blood, which is used in their own armor.
Early Predator armor would be corroded by alien blood, not to mention humans, even three decks of a spacecraft could be corroded and worn away.
Aliens, Zerg, Forerunners, Tyranids, Yuuzhan Vong... These forces climbing the biological technology tree are indeed easy to be ambushed if they are not specifically targeted. Fu Qinghai first proposed to purchase the alloy formula in order to target the Tyranids.
"Don't give me that. Is the alloy plating of the shell finished?"
Fu Qinghai scolded with a smile.
"It's done. If we encounter a monster like the 'Tailed Rat' again, we won't lose our fighting power."
The advantage of Fu Qinghai and Xiao Fei as reincarnations is that, unlike the characters in the original novel, they do not realize the need to improve until they have suffered losses. The "Horned Turtle" can use electromagnetic pulses, the "Tailed Rat" can use poison sac sprays, and some monsters can fly and merge, so countermeasures can all be designed in advance for these monsters.
Although the "Horned Turtle" and "Tailed Rat" had already appeared when Fu Qinghai arrived in the Pacific Rim Universe.
"I have a suggestion, Khan."
Xiao Fei put away his smile and suddenly spoke seriously.
"What suggestions?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"The White Scar has a lot of secondary weapons. When engaging in close combat with a monster, you need to stay highly focused and have no time to operate and distract these weapons. Perhaps... we can consider adding a crew member."
Xiao Fei said.
Fu Qinghai waved his hand without even thinking:
"I have artificial intelligence, and it can operate these weapons on its own without my having to distract myself."
"What about the Warhammer 40K universe?"
Xiao Fei asked a meaningful question, which stumped Fu Qinghai.
The Tech-Priests think long term.
The Warhammer 40K universe cannot use artificial intelligence casually - Crimson Protocol, Electronic Demon, Chaos Code...
"So what do you mean?"
Fu Qinghai asked thoughtfully.
"We should either completely eliminate the secondary weapons such as shoulder cannons and chest cannons, or reserve relevant technologies and experimental data for multi-person synaesthesia synchronization in advance... I think Zofia might be a good choice as a crew member, Khan."
Xiao Fei put forward his own suggestions.
Fu Qinghai pinched his chin and thought.
Fu Qinghai is a reincarnationist, and Zofia is also a reincarnationist. Theoretically, there are no shameful secrets between the two... But do reincarnationists have no privacy? Zofia is unwilling to open up, so how can Fu Qinghai be willing?
"I'll think about it."
Fu Qinghai finally said this.
......
Hong Kong Broken Dome Base.
The Hunter Academy recruited a new group of students.
As a senior who survived the explosion, Dizard enthusiastically told the new students about the interesting stories of his parents' synaesthesia as Dark Interceptor pilots.
They call the synaesthesia connection a "second wedding."
In order to achieve 100% synchronization, they got to know each other more deeply. Even in their daily lives after the synaesthesia connection was disconnected, they were still very tacit. They would suddenly look up and smile at each other while eating at the dinner table, which made Dizard sometimes feel like he was the outsider.
Dizard was spitting as he told the story.
Zofia, who was standing beside him, was upset by what she heard.
I thought, according to what you mean, as long as the pilot team is a man and a woman, they must be married?
Although there are indeed many cases of mecha hunter couples.
"Shaolin Ranger" and "Cherno Alpha" are both husband-and-wife teams, and "Dangerous Wanderer" is technically the same.
Zofia felt that her dream of driving a Mecha Hunter might really be shattered. She had never thought highly of the boys in the Hunter Academy. The only little girl who she liked was injured in the explosion and lost her ability to drive. Her family chose to let her withdraw from the ranks of students.
Until Marshal Pantecost suddenly sent someone to inform her:
"Student Zofia Boleslaw, Anchorage Shattered Dome has asked me to transfer you to the Anchorage Shattered Dome Base as a pilot of the Mech Hunter."
"Congratulations, you've graduated."
Zofia was stunned.

Training Memo
To all pilot candidates
Topic: KWOON training
Written by Stark Pentecost
1. The basis of synaesthesia is neural bridging
2. The basis of neural bridging is psychological identification
3. The basis of psychological identity is shared experience
4. The foundation of shared experience is training
5. The basis of training is a series of persistent exercises in each subject.
Summary: This subject is the study of Mecha Hunter.
Please see the attachment for details of the training materials.
Candidates are requested to study all the contents independently, and after mastering them, they can go to the air martial arts hall to hone their combat skills. All candidates must fully master the 52 movements of the mecha hunter combat skills and be able to use them freely. Only those who meet the above conditions can join the pilot group. Afterwards, candidates will compete in combat training to assess their synaesthesia compatibility. The synaesthesia compatibility between candidates will be comprehensively evaluated through brain scans, personality tests, practical training assessments and probationary performance.
The results of the Aerial Martial Arts School will determine whether one can join the elite group of pilots who protect humanity.
Good luck!
…
Fu Qinghai closed the memo.
"Fifty-two mecha fighting moves?"
Fu Qinghai touched his chin.
After deciding that Zofia would be a crew member, Fu Qinghai took some time to take a look at what the students at the Hunter Academy were usually learning, so as to facilitate the synaesthesia connection between him and Zofia. These contents were not too difficult for Fu Qinghai - at least he did not feel that they were more stringent than the screening criteria for Space Marine candidates.
The mecha fighting action is quite interesting.
The Mecha Hunter is modeled after the human form but is not completely humanoid.
There are definitely some differences in the structures of various joints. There are some fighting moves that humans can do but mechas cannot, and there are some fighting moves that mechas can do but humans cannot.
For example, the knee joint of the fifth-generation mecha "Phoenix Guerrilla" is a bidirectional joint, divided into segments, and can bend forward and backward, making it more flexible, which is something the human knee cannot do.
Fu Qinghai felt that the synaesthesia connection with Zofia was not a big problem. He did not pursue a 100% synchronization rate because Zofia was only a co-pilot - the pilots of the mecha hunter seemed to be standing side by side and controlling together, but in fact there was a primary and secondary distinction.
The main driver of "Eureka Raider" is father Hank, the main driver of "Cherno Alpha" is his wife Kissasha, and the main driver of "Dangerous Wanderer" is the male protagonist Raleigh.
Fu Qinghai is of course the main driver of the "White Scar".
Zofia is here to operate the secondary weapon, similar to Victoria Malikova, the driver who specializes in operating the chest railgun in "Phoenix Guerrilla".
The layout of the head cockpit is the same: it adopts a two-person integrated pod in series front and back, and Zofia's cockpit is located behind Fu Qinghai's round platform.
…
A V-Dragon heavy-load helicopter produced by Shaw Industries slowly landed on the deck of Hunter Bay.
The sea breeze is cool and chilly.
Fu Qinghai personally went to the apron to greet his co-pilot, but he didn't expect that the first words Zofia said after getting off the helicopter left Fu Qinghai puzzled:
"You asked me to be your co-pilot. Did I agree?"
He looked down at Zofia's stubborn little face.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself:
As expected, women's hearts are as unfathomable as the sea.
It's the same whether you're in bed or not.
