Tokyo Bay, March 16, noon, aerial.
Yuki Asuna, Kiritani Kazuto followed Yuuki Shozo, Sugou Nobuyuki, Kayaba Akihiko, and Kamishiro Rinko on a small plane back from China, bringing with them a lot of information.
Yuuki Shozo, Sugou Nobuyuki, Kayaba Akihiko, and Kamishiro Rinko were discussing the subject of mechas with some excitement.
Yuuki Asuna and Kiritani Kazuto sat together, looking at the scenery outside, their faces blushing a little shyly.
After getting along day and night these days, the intimacy between the two has increased to a very high level, but the layer of paper that was used to express their feelings has never been broken through.
Taking advantage of the scenery in the sky, Kiritani Kazuto and Yuki Asuna were brewing emotions.
"Uh, what's that?"
"Flying, whale, whale?"
The two looked at each other, and the pink atmosphere disappeared.
Yuuki Shozo, Sugou Nobuyuki, Kayaba Akihiko, and Kamishiro Rinko also stopped their discussion and watched together.
The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere was swept away, and the four of them looked a little bad. Because the mecha couldn't fly, it was a bit difficult to deal with these flying guys, let alone such big guys.
Due to concerns about the proliferation of nuclear technology, mechas became small nuclear bombs after the war, so nuclear power was not used as the energy system of mechas.
This resulted in the mecha being unable to fly, and also brought about a series of problems. It was destined that the mecha developed through this global cooperation was only a weapon against giant zombies.
There is still nothing we can do about humans and mutants.
…
After a series of tests, Takagi Yuriko flew away on the huge mutant killer whale Neptune as countless people watched.
Takagi Soichiro received a call from his wife and saw the selfie video. He was very happy and relieved.
Takagi Souichiro has always been worried about the appearance of a large group of giant creatures on the big island. Now with this big guy, at least his wife and daughter can retreat safely.
…
Big island.
The return of Takagi Yuriko also made people on the island wait and see. Many people were envious and wanted to have such a big guy.
"Mother……"
"Want to try?"
"Um."
Takagi Saya, Miyamoto Rei, Hirano Kota and his two beautiful police officers, together with the little girl Shirley Alice and the puppy Zeke, carefully used the cliff to jump onto the back of the whale.
As enhanced people, although they are weaker, they can easily jump three to five meters.
…
Ruozhou.
The small plane landed directly on the road. Yuki Asuna, Kiritani Kazuto and their group came down and met Matsudaira Kataguritora and others who were picking up the plane, as well as Mr. Tokugawa Sadada.
Asuna Yuki and Kazuto Kiritani didn't think anything of it, but Shozo Yuki, Nobuyuki Sugou, Akihiko Kayaba, and Rinko Kamishiro were very excited and a little flattered when they saw Mr. Tokugawa Sadada.
…
The number of people attending the reception banquet was not large, and the food was provided by the public supplies managed by Katsuragi Ai, the ship girl. There were two juices and five dishes, which made the group of people who had not eaten orthodox Japanese food for a long time very happy.
During lunch, the issue of making mechas was discussed.
The power system in Tokyo Bay is already in operation. Although the resources are owned, they can also be allocated and used.
We can also gather manpower, but the problem is the cost.
Matsudaira Katakuritora asked Yamazaki's opinion through Kanniang, but Yamazaki and Shandai did not attend the banquet.
Regarding this, Yuuki Shozo, Sugou Nobuyuki, Kayaba Akihiko, and Kamdai Rinko were a little dissatisfied, especially Kamdai Rinko, but they did not show it.
Yamazaki said: "Whoever wants the mecha will fund the production. It's just like placing an order with a factory. The price is still based on food converted into materials."
"Who, who wants a mecha and who will fund its production?" Rinko Kamishiro felt very bad. This showed that the mecha they had spent so much effort to create was not taken seriously at all.
"Of course, what else should we do? Confiscate materials? Or call on everyone to donate? In the name of justice?" Yamazaki said, "I hate that kind of thing very much. Rich people take a lot of resources and then donate a small amount. , and then compare it with the poor, that is the wealth of the poor in several lifetimes."
"It's a percentage." Shan Dai interjected. "Those who are willing to donate will be calculated as a percentage of the total assets. But I won't donate. I don't think that thing is of any use."
Kayaba Akihiko said: "No matter what, we need to build some, even if it is just to test its value, otherwise we will be surpassed by other countries."
"If you surpass it, just surpass it. Although technology is not outdated, it is no longer important." Shandai said with a smile, "The army can be disbanded because it is too weak."
"Then have you ever thought about what if it changes again," Yuuki Shozo said, "I mean, what if the current power system suddenly disappears again? It's like it suddenly appeared."
Sugou Nobuyuki asked: "That's right, then what should we use to protect ourselves? Fists?"
"It makes sense, then I will build a mecha army of my own, but it will not be a simplified version like yours, but an enhanced version that goes abroad to create nuclear power." Shan Dai smiled, "If I am not wrong, , several major countries will go back and make enhanced versions."
Matsudaira Katakuritora and others all looked ugly, because things would probably be the same as Shandai said, and they had absolutely no way to stop it.
Similarly, they can't stop Shan Dai. Even if the power system collapses, Shan Dai will still occupy the peak of absolute power and completely disrupt the order.
The disorder only lasted for more than three months. Matsudaira Katakuritora was fine, Mr. Tokugawa Sadada, Yuki Shozo, Sugou Nobuyuki, Kayaba Akihiko, Kamishiro Rinko and others all missed the previous society very much, because they were at that time It's condescending.
It's not like now, where every aspect is suppressed, and it even feels like being dependent on others.
"We'll talk about those things later," Yamazaki said. "I have another reason here, which is to create speed."
"I don't know how it is in other countries. In Sakura Country, the battle to retake the entire country has already begun and will be completed in about a month."
"The mechas you are talking about, let alone whether they can be put into mass production in a month, there is a question mark as to whether the mecha factories are fully completed."
"Although I don't understand much, I guess I know that mechas can't be solved by just a few factories, but a series of factories involving hundreds of thousands of parts and hundreds of thousands of processes."
"It's possible to build it with at least thousands of employees working together."
"To be honest, I think just the preparations will probably take a few weeks."
"Personally, I think the mecha will not be able to keep up with this battle."
"And after that, I still say the same thing, whoever wants to build it will own it."
"Ahem," Mr. Tokugawa Sadada couldn't help but interrupt, "Mr. Yamazaki, I have a question. Have you ever thought about what the future government will look like? Miss Katsuragi Ai can certainly manage this country, but what about the outside world? ?Who will represent this country? And what about armaments?"
"I told you, let's disband the army." Shan Dai smiled, "There will be no need for group armies to fight in the future."
Yuuki Shozo questioned, "Then I have the same problem. What if the power system collapses?"
"It's useless to talk about what if." Yamazaki said, "In the final analysis, the problem lies in supplies."
"If you want to build an army, materials are indispensable, and although there are many materials now, they are still limited."
"In other words, you plan to gather supplies to build an army, but the price will only be to make ordinary people cut back on their clothing and diet."
"Sorry, I don't agree with this kind of thing."
Sugou Nobuyuki said: "I don't agree either, but we need to protect our own strength."
"I understand," Yamazaki said, "Maybe we can become a neutral country."
Everyone was stunned, this was another big bomb.
