Chapter 512 - 512 Mech Upgrade
512 Mech Upgrade
‘The path of mech development is imperative. We have to develop it as far as we can and find a way for the humans in China and the entire planet to survive!’ Wu Mo said in his heart.
This was no longer the problem of a single country but a major event for all of mankind.
The sea monsters were getting stronger with each day, and there were many types of them.
Who knew what kind of terrifying monsters would appear in the future?
There might even be giant beasts that could destroy the world!
By then, it would be too late for regrets.
Therefore, he had to immediately develop a more powerful mech to completely defeat the monsters before destroying the wormhole.
Facing the current situation, Wu Mo only hoped that Zero could tie with the three sea monsters and force them to retreat.
Unexpectedly, such a small wish seemed too extravagant.
The ferocious tiger unleashed a monstrous force and slammed its huge body into Zero by pouncing on it!
Bang bang bang!
Zero retreated continuously and relied on the stabilizing system to keep itself from falling.
However, the tiger was close. It bit Zero’s shoulder with its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and dragged Zero into the deep sea.
“Heavens! How could Zero end up like this? It’s being pushed around by the sea monster!”
When the audience on the sh.o.r.e saw what happened, their faces turned pale.
‘Get up, Zero! Defeat it!’
Some people shouted in their hearts and wished that they could personally go into battle.
Suddenly, Zero waved his white blade and slashed it at the mark on the tiger’s head!
The command center had a.n.a.lyzed it as a potential weak point.
However, the tiger was smart, and it dodged the attack in time. The white blade only managed to cut its neck.
However, the tiger’s neck was not a weak point, and its skin was thick as well as fleshy in that area.
After two slashes, blood gushed out, but it did not end up being a fatal blow for the tiger monster.
At this moment, the black laser beams bombarded Zero’s body like a storm, and sparks flew from the mech’s surface.
When the laser beams. .h.i.t the same spot, a crack finally appeared on Zero’s hard sh.e.l.l.
Then, the complicated internal mechanical system was exposed. Another black laser beam hit it hard, and sparks flew in all directions. The electric currents rolled like dragons, and it was terrifying!
“How did this happen?!”
When the higher-ups of Huayang Heavy Industries saw the scene, they could not help but punch the table in anger.
“Manager, when we produced the sh.e.l.l, we made sure it went through many rounds of high-temperature tempering. It had to be at least 30 times. We already applied the most complicated production method in our factory. How did it break so easily?”
One of his subordinates was incredulous.
However, the factory manager was relieved when he thought about it.
After all, the sea monster’s laser only created a small hole in Zero’s sh.e.l.l after it attacked a single point continuously.
This proved that their materials were excellent enough. If it had been the work of other steel factories, it probably would have broken more easily.
At this moment, the mech’s internal systems were damaged, so its control became sluggish.
Wu Mo immediately activated the smart mode.
From now on, Mech Zero would be able to make decisions on its own to a certain extent. It would be able to respond to the situation before it in a timely manner.
Bang bang bang!
With that, the smart chip in Mech Zero’s body came into play. It knew that it had to defeat the ferocious tiger monster to deal with the spherical sea monster and humanoid sea monster with the steel helmet.
However, the ferocious tiger monster was difficult to deal with. The spherical sea monster kept shooting lasers, while the humanoid sea monster with the steel helmet cleverly shielded its companions from the high-density ray weapons.
Finally, Zero could not take the pressure anymore. Sparks flew everywhere, and its movements became slower.
“Oh, no! Terminate smart mode immediately and order Zero to retreat!”
Wu Mo’s eyes flashed with panic as he issued an urgent order.
Those in the command room were so shocked by this sudden order that their hearts started to beat faster. They promptly did as they were told.
Zero’s automatic smart mode was interrupted, and after it received the order, it launched a final counterattack.
Like a gecko abandoning its tail to survive, Zero broke free by decisively cutting off the part of its body that was being attacked.
After that, it struggled back toward the sh.o.r.e.
This tragic scene made everyone tear up.
Zero had done everything it could. Even though it was defeated, it used the last of its strength on the battlefield.
Suffering serious damage, it resolutely abandoned a part of itself and rushed to the sh.o.r.e with difficulty.
As for the three sea monsters, their eyes were filled with conflict and hatred.
They chased after Zero with some hesitance, and in the end, they stopped their pursuit. Instead, they let out strange cries and created a tsunami before disappearing into the deep sea.
Zero finally reached the sh.o.r.e. Its body was severely damaged, and it could no longer move.
Emergency repairs were required.
“Quick, clear the area! Call more people over and fix Zero up immediately!”
Wu Mo arrived on the scene and looked at Zero’s miserable state. His heart ached.
“Sigh, Zero’s been very brave. Unfortunately, those three sea monsters were too ferocious. It’s no surprise that Zero didn’t win.”
An officer walked over and patted Wu Mo on the shoulder to console him.
Being the mech’s “father,” Wu Mo was devastated. When others saw this, their hearts ached for him.
But who could blame him?
He had already offered a powerful weapon of war to all mankind—Zero.
It was impossible to find another such talent in the world.
Zero’s performance was outstanding during its first appearance, which made all of humanity exclaim in admiration.
Zero descended like a ferocious tiger. It easily defeated the sea monster with a swing of its blade.
This spectacular scene was deeply imprinted in everyone’s hearts and would not disappear for a long time.
However, in the face of the three sea monsters that were as violent as a storm, Battle Mech Zero had no choice but to accept the almost impossible challenge. Moreover, the strength of each of them was not to be underestimated!
In this grim battle, Zero managed to tie with the three sea monsters and successfully escaped back to the sh.o.r.e.
Although people were satisfied with this, Wu Mo still felt regretful that he couldn’t wipe out all the sea monsters.
However, Wu Mo did not give up.
From Zero’s battle, he had learned a lot of valuable experience. He was determined to make his future mech more perfect and sharper, so that the sea monsters would not be able to resist it.
He thought to himself, ‘Just you wait, the next generation of mech will definitely show you the true weapons of war!’
The invasion of sea monsters had never stopped. Powerful sea monsters appeared in the seas all over the world.
The fierce tiger sea monster rose to the top of the sea monster rankings, while the original overlord, the double bone saber sea monster, was pushed to eighth place.
The reason why the ferocious tiger monster became famous was undoubtedly because of its terrifying aura during its battle with Zero.
This also proved that the fellow who could fight Zero was definitely something that other sea monsters could not hope to achieve.
This was also the affirmation of the sea monster research center and the global research experts on Zero.
However, right now, the focus of attention was on Zero, who was lying quietly in the recovery center.
Many of its components had been damaged, and the repair work was arduous and complicated.
The loss of original parts could lead to a delay of a millimeter in battle, which could have fatal consequences.
However, Wu Mo continued to work tirelessly on the restoration, working together with a large number of researchers and engineers.
Everyone was extremely busy, but they had no complaints. This was because the first-generation battle mech had become a symbol of grat.i.tude in their hearts.
