As Ye Rui's scan results appeared, everyone on the victory team was stunned. Because...the monster in front of them was only an empty shell.

"When did it happen?" Horii looked shocked.

"It should be what happened last night." Kamiya looked at the Sphia synthetic beast in front of him and said, "Using the oil storage tank as a threat, and then taking the opportunity to dig a hole underground to escape, this Sphia synthetic beast has a high IQ.

"

"Then what should we do now?" Xincheng asked without any opinion.

"I don't know either." Kamiya felt a little headache, "Sphia Synthetic Beast needs energy, but there are energy reserves in so many places in Neon. It's impossible for us to concentrate all the energy in one place."

"Isn't focused defense feasible?" Munakata began to think about how to eliminate this Sphia synthetic beast.

At this moment, Kamiya felt a vibration in his PDI. It was obvious that Natsumi was interested in the Sphia synthetic beast, and was now in a stage of strong appetite.

At this time, Black Storm also discovered anomalies.

"Transport everything to the land base and prepare to conduct data analysis on the monsters there."

Quan Teng came to the edge of the ruins, looking at the ruined city and the Sphia Synthetic Beast shell in the ruins, his fists clenched involuntarily.

"Actually, I think it would be more appropriate to transport this thing to the diving base. There are complete facilities there." Dr. Tango on the side said, "The facilities at the land base are too shabby for research."

"There are four Leiden R-30 mines under the land base, and there are 64 D-4 mines in the important laboratory facilities. If an accident occurs, it is very safe there." Quan Teng said expressionlessly, "And these are

Something the diving base doesn’t have.”

"This is just a shell. To put it bluntly, it's just material." Tango was so angry that he said, "Your behavior of installing bombs in the laboratory is a blasphemy against scientific research. It is..."

"Dr. Tango, being able to allow your scientific research bureau to conduct research on these life forms is already the biggest concession for our police department." Tatemura interrupted Dr. Tango's verbal criticism with an expressionless face, "In order to avoid some unpleasant incidents.

An accident, please shut up now."

Looking at Tatemura's dark face, Dr. Tango couldn't help but take a step back, made some reasonable associations about the "unpleasant accident", and then chose to shut up.

The next two days were very quiet. Perhaps due to frequent earthquakes, the entire post-disaster reconstruction work went smoothly until—the press conference of the Sethek Foundation two days later.

"The funds raised this time will reach 600 million U.S. dollars, of which 300 million U.S. dollars will be borne by the Sethek Foundation, 100 million U.S. dollars will be borne by Kumamoto City, and the other 200 million U.S. dollars will be made up of enterprises and donations." Masaki Keigo said, "This amount

The funds will be used to build a Mecha Hunter, the Mecha Hunter, Kumamoto, belonging to Kumamoto City."

After finishing speaking, Masaki directly put down the microphone and left the stage to Yamazaki Hiroyuki. To be precise, he left the trouble to him.

Looking at the spotlight in the audience, Yamazaki Hiroyuki took a deep breath. In this situation, he would have to do it even if he didn't. But fortunately, most of the reporters today have been paid, so they shouldn't ask for permission at this time.

Problems that embarrass oneself.

The reporter was also very familiar with the spokesperson of the Sethek Foundation and immediately started asking routine questions.

"I would like to ask Mr. Yamazaki why the Sethek Foundation proposed a plan to build a mecha hunter at this time." A reporter immediately started asking questions.

"The Sethek Foundation suffered extremely serious losses in this disaster, so we need ways to protect ourselves." Hiroyuki Yamazaki said directly, "It just so happens that TPC now has a plan to build three Mecha Hunters, so we have this cooperation.

."

"Then why not choose to cooperate with the Pacific Rim United Front." At this time, a reporter said, "If it is a mecha hunter, isn't the Pacific Rim United Front the best choice?"

"This..." Yamazaki Hiroyuki couldn't help but frowned.

"I am Kiryu Ryuuga." Kiryu Ryuuga was stared at by Yamazaki, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

I glanced at Shunsuke Oshima next to me, and felt relieved when I saw Shunsuke Oshima's eyes.

"Mr. Kiryu, please follow the order next time you ask questions." Yamazaki Hiroyuki's frowned eyebrows relaxed, "The facts have already given us the answer, haven't they?"

"What's the answer?" Yamazaki Hiroyuki continued to ask at Oshima's signal.

"Tango Wolf and Dawn are the only two mecha hunters in Neon now." Yamazaki Hiroyuki said, "They are both second-level mecha hunters, but their combat power... I believe you have also seen it. Although for the two sacrificed

The driver was very rude, but I still have to say that the Pacific Rim United Front is rubbish.”

Hearing these words that were obviously meant to start a fight, Sethek's senior management obviously frowned.

The last time the Scitec factory in North America was sanctioned, it has not resumed work yet. With such a statement, is Yamazaki Hiroyuki preparing to sell off all those assets?

Masaki didn't have any objections, and even secretly gave Yamazaki Hiroyuki a thumbs up.

The cost of building the Dawn of Crisis is US$380 million, and the rest is all testing costs and daily maintenance costs. If calculated according to the standard of US$600 million, the Pacific Rim United Front is quite profitable from this business.

They spent so much time planning it, so naturally they couldn't use it as a wedding dress for others.

As for those factories in North America, it doesn't matter where they are sent. As long as things are done and orders for dozens of mecha hunters are taken, the Sethek consortium's mecha parts customization business will be enough for them.

After the publicity of these media, whether it is positive or negative, the business of the Pacific Rim United Front is not easy to do. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some cities are mentally ill or the business is too hot.

"Then, Mr. Yamazaki, during the negotiation process with TPC, did your company mention the construction plan of the other two Mecha Hunters?" At this time, a reporter suddenly asked.

"One of them is the next generation experimental model, that is, the third generation machine." Yamazaki Hiroyuki nodded, "The other one is acceptable for cooperation."

All the reporters' backs straightened up involuntarily. Only the Kumamoto reporters were lowering their heads in deep thought. They were considering how to publicize this matter.

Facts have proved that even Ultraman and TPC are unreliable, and they may not be able to take care of such a large-scale invasion.

The press conference lasted until noon. In the afternoon, TPC announced that the winning city for the next Mecha Hunter was Tokyo.

This result shouldn't be much of a surprise, but at this moment it caused a stir.

Although Tokyo is the pearl of neon and its protection is a top priority, the protection of other cities is not important.

TPC was soon scolded on the front page, and Tokyo was also on the front page. After all, Kumamoto has already raised half of the funds, so it is reasonable to book a construction location in advance, but why do you Tokyo? Everyone has just started raising money.

of.

However, this wave was followed by a lull two days later, when Tokyo came up with US$350 million and a donation.

Facts have proved that as the city with the largest neon lights, it has a strong ability to raise money. No one has noticed that the total output value of Tokyo's real estate market has slowly increased by 5 percentage points.

TPC will also start work later. When TPC's third-generation Mecha Hunter is completed, it will be sold to Yokohama for US$450 million.

The most uncomfortable thing among them is the Pacific Rim United Front. They really want to do this business, but they are helpless. The performance of the Dawn is too poor. No one wants the Mecha Hunter they spent a huge amount of money to buy to become a mere weapon.

A bomb that will explode.

"What did the North American branch say?" the Foreign Minister looked at the person in charge in front of him tiredly.

"They said everything is the driver's problem!" The person in charge slammed his fist on the table. "They think we are suspected of lying about the monster data. In addition, the pilot driving the mecha hunter is a novice and did not give full play to the Dawn."

Strength."

The Foreign Minister glanced at the person in charge, stood up and left.

"So...we were abandoned?"

"Before you can produce results," the Foreign Minister stopped, "it's like this. After all, things are different now. I hope you can understand."

Two days later, when Kamiya saw the three TPC giants looking tired, he wanted to take a detour.

At this moment, Yoshioka suddenly stopped him.

"Director, what's the matter?" Kamiya asked in a very dogged manner.

"Your proposal is very good. Many cities have already applied for orders from us." Yoshioka said, "We did a great job this time."

"Since you did a good job, I'll leave first." Kamiya said immediately.

I don't know why, but his heartbeat was very fast today, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Stop, why are you running?" Yoshioka said with a straight face, "You submitted the drawings for the Athena Saber. Aren't you going to guide the production of three Mecha Hunters?"

"Using the Athena Saber as a template, wouldn't it be enough to cut a few times?" Kamiya was stunned, "With the Max power system, it's okay to cut even harder. A blueprint can be sold for ten years."

Staff Officer Nanyuan looked at Kamiya's face with a somewhat complicated expression. He looked at Kamiya and then at Yoshioka.

"This character has nothing to do with my affairs. He is from your staff headquarters." Yoshioka said immediately.

Nan Yuan felt like his nose was going to be crooked with anger. If it weren't for being so tired and because he was sure that he couldn't beat Yoshioka, he would definitely accuse him with righteous indignation.

Who doesn’t know that Kamitani Temple is a die-hard supporter of your police station? He’s a loyal supporter of your police department, and he’s a member of our staff headquarters if he’s good or bad?

"Actually, it's like this. The construction part of the Mecha Hunter is on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is a plan that needs to be restarted." Sawai stood up at this time and said, "A plan that is as important as the Max power system."

Kamiya's eyelids twitched. Currently, the only plan in TPC that can parallel the Max power system is the Zero drive plan. However, the Zero drive was completely shut down due to the mysterious disappearance of the test pilot Asuka Kazuma.

"Is it Project Zero?" Kamiya asked tentatively.

"Dr. Yatsuo has told you?" Yoshioka is not surprised that Kamiya knows about this matter. After all, he is an engineer involved in Max's power system. It would be too low if his opponent doesn't even know who he is.

"Yes." Sawai put his hands in his trouser pockets, "The Zero Drive is a plan that goes hand in hand with the Max Power System. After the success of the Max Power System, the adventurous design of the Zero Drive seems to have become dispensable."

Kamiya didn't speak, he just listened.

"But we owe Kazuma Asuka's family an explanation. We want to find out who killed Kazuma Asuka back then..." Sawai paused, "Was it Sphia?"

"Why do you have this question?" Kamiya was stunned.

Others may not know it, but Kamiya knows very well that Asuka Kazuma has become a cosmic street kid.

"Sphia has never visited the Earth before Jeepster 3." Staff Officer Minamihara said, "Asuka Ichima disappeared near Jupiter. Before he disappeared, he said he encountered light. Just from the witness report

Look, it’s almost the same as Jeep No. 3.”

"Furthermore, it has been proven on Jeep No. 3 that Sphia can use human memories." Yoshioka continued, "We suspect that Sphia learned about the existence of the earth after attacking Asuka Kazuma, but has been looking for

No way.”
