Chapter 377: Mecha Giant Spirit God
The thunderstorms of private enterprises do not rise to the level of national issues.
Shaw Industries used this mentality of messing things up, and the mentality of learning one thing at a time, recruiting a large number of new technical employees to learn technology from the technicians sent by Umbrella.

These people are all newly graduated college students, but they are a bit older. Those with white hair are programmers with an average age of 25. It is normal for people in this industry to age quickly.
After all, the country is still developing, and most people are engaged in low-profit, heavy manual labor.
With so many major projects and facility construction completed, it is normal to recruit more people. Thousands of people in each technology park are considered a small number.
The group's technicians spared no effort in teaching, and the employees of Shaw Industries also racked their brains to learn. Soon, under the guidance, a series of supporting machines for manufacturing wafers were produced.
Although it was restored and manufactured bit by bit according to the technical data, and it was an old model machine that was a small step up from the original technology, it still took a long time for Shaw Industries.
The monster war in Tokyo failed to affect the continent on the other side of the ocean. The two reckless monsters stopped fighting after fifteen days.
Godzilla was the first to flee the scene, and before leaving, he yelled at Godzilla to vent his frustration.
Godzilla still has that dull look. There is no sparkle in the fish's eyes, which is far less spiritual than Godzilla.
After watching Godzilla dive into the deep sea and disappear, Godzilla also stopped moving and fell into a deep sleep again, probably recovering from the pain caused by the fierce battle for more than ten days.
Compared with Godzilla, its teeth were not sharp enough, and its front claws were not thick and powerful enough. It was suppressed for a long time and was in a state of embarrassment.
Godzilla is also uncomfortable, but the radiation attack is not so easy to withstand. Godzilla will often be burned to pieces, and then the absorbed energy will be returned intact.
The monster war that lasted for fifteen days came to an end. Netizens once again lost everything. They vented their anger on the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Forces, blaming them for wasting taxpayers' money and being unable to defeat the monsters.
Now the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force is treated like an imperial organization and is questioned and reviled by the public.
The production line for manufacturing new mechas was almost shut down, waiting for the results.
Some people at the top of the alliance wanted to drop a nuclear bomb on Tokyo to kill the two monsters, but they discovered a very sad truth through temperature detection of the radiation flow.
Their nuclear weapons may not be able to guarantee the killing of these two monsters that are not within the scope of normal creatures. Godzilla's skin defense can already withstand the heat and impact of nuclear weapons, and the same is true for its comparable Godzilla.
The force exerted by the claw tips and teeth of the giant beast concentrated on one point is stronger than the fan impact of a nuclear weapon.
To say that it is impossible for nuclear weapons to have no effect would be to underestimate the ultimate weapon of mankind.
Unless it is a dense and covering multiple close-range bombings, it is indeed impossible to cause enough damage to the two monsters.
Naturally, the proposal to use nuclear weapons was not passed. In the end, they just threw the blame on their subordinates' heads and asked monster experts and military experts to come up with solutions.
At the same time, they are also paying attention to the latest developments of Shaw Industries.
A new batch of wafer-making machines leaves the factory for trial operation, but this is not the most critical item.
The original purpose of Shaw Industries was to defend the coastline from monster attacks and wanted to strengthen the existing mechas, so they approached the Umbrella Group for negotiation.
So mechas are the focus, and they must be mechas that can defeat monsters.
Manufacturing a mecha is not that simple. The cost of manufacturing a single mecha is not much different than manufacturing an aircraft carrier, but it is faster in time and can be produced in an assembly line.
Shaw Industries has assembled all the core technologies needed to manufacture mechas, and only a few spare parts are outsourced.
The experts from the group went in and thought about it for a while, and almost understood how to make the mecha, and then gave them some advice.
In the end, they found that it was impossible to create a mecha that could compete with monsters using Shaw Industries' original mecha technology, and they could not continue to use current technology!
The performance and power of the mecha must at least reach the level of Godzilla. After all, Godzilla is the best reference object. Its power and defense are basically guaranteed to be stronger than ordinary monsters. Only those that can be on par with Godzilla Only with combat capabilities can the mecha achieve its goal of defeating all monsters and defending the defense line.
Therefore, the existing technology of Shaw Industries cannot do it. If it can't be done, it can't be done. Even with machine-sea tactics and quantity stacking, it can't be done!
The group's expatriate team discussed in private, and the more they discussed, the more they shook their heads. In fact, using mechas to deal with monsters was not a good idea. It was not economical to build a personal mecha to solve a problem that could be solved with one cannonball.
But people in this world are superstitious about this, and the impractical parts are all compromises for the unity and belief of mankind as a whole.
As long as people can still see the mecha, they will not collapse. If one day the mecha is gone, people will definitely feel empty in their hearts.
Mechas with faith bonuses are like totems that guard the spiritual world of human beings. Nothing can gather people's hearts more than a giant mecha. If it were a spaceship floating in the sky, they would only worry that a shell would fall and hit their heads at any time, which would increase their fear.
Mechas can't, they can't fly. When monsters attack, they are like giants of light that suddenly appear. They punch and kick, and destroy monsters in a down-to-earth way, as if they are the ultimate evolution of human beings, gods that can be touched by reaching out.
This may also be the characteristic of the diversity of human beings in this world, just like the characteristic of the killer world is the indifference to life, and the characteristic of the weird world is the endless cults...
Human beings in this world have formed a basic belief in mechas, and they cannot live without mechas, just like the West cannot live without Jerusalem.
Shaw Industries' manufacturing capabilities alone cannot produce qualified large mechas, so the expert group provided them with another solution.
The Umbrella Group provided funding and equipment to build a top-notch mecha first. The scientists of Shaw Industries watched from the side. They built it first, and then slowly learned how to manufacture it, and slowly upgraded the equipment and industrial chain.
Now they can't even make chips, so it's too difficult to want a mecha that can compete with Godzilla.
Funds are nothing. The engineers paid a sum of money to build it, not to mention the subsidies from the group.
These rich and idle group engineers are free people. If they have an inspiration one day, they can directly apply for personal research funds.
It only takes one year's salary for a team of three senior engineers to make a mecha. It doesn't take much effort, just like making a big toy.
Learn from Shaw Industries' mature design ideas, it won't cost much!
Build!
Now even if Shaw Industries rejects this proposal, the engineers who are interested will have to build one themselves.
And it has to be two hundred meters high!
The strength and defense are based on Godzilla's standards, and the size and speed are based on the standards of slave Titans and demons!
The department head of Shaw Industries and the group's engineering team picked up a top-notch mecha for free in a few words. She didn't even have the chance to refute. The speed of each engineer's speech was amazing. The plan was finalized in a few breaths, and then they were asked to vacate the workshop for them to build a giant mecha.
First! What is the most important thing about a mecha?
It's the appearance!
[Image reference in paragraph comment]
If there is no good-looking appearance, the cool appearance cannot gather faith.
The appearance of the mecha is based on the gatekeeper of the heavenly palace in the mythology of an ancient oriental country, the giant spirit. The group's engineering team has people from all countries, and the culture is different. The mythological figures of the ancient oriental country are used because this mecha was originally made for Shaw Industries.
A mecha that can be used in actual combat is a good mecha. The mecha they make is to be used to fight monsters. The people who use it to fight monsters are the people here, so of course they have to respect the culture of the locals. They can't only build one mecha. At most, they can build a few more later.
The appearance of the mecha is quite heavy and rough, and its outline is close to the image of the ancient Han Dynasty warriors, that is, thick arms and a thick and strong body.
The overall paint is mainly brass and dark blue, dotted with other different colors.
The shell of the mecha will be spliced with many arc-shaped parts, and the armor lines are specially made to distinguish it from the "body" of the mecha. Even the head of the mecha deliberately retains the facial features of a person, making the overall shape of the mecha more like a giant spirit wearing armor.
The engineers designed many clever ideas for this work. Because it is a test model and not for their own use, as long as the strength can meet the standards and meet the requirements and ideas of defeating monsters, they can stuff some strange functions into the empty gaps everywhere.
After studying the imagination of the people of the Eastern country about the giant spirit, the group's engineering team also designed a flashy two-handed battle axe for the giant spirit mecha.
Many aesthetics of people are similar. No man doesn't like muscles, unless their psychological gender is female and they suffer from...
So, the appearance of the Giant Spirit Mecha has been determined, and the only thing that needs to be determined is other functions.
A two-hundred-meter-high mecha is basically the limit of what a mecha can do. If it is a single-person mecha, the disadvantage of two-person synaesthesia driving is very large.
Even if the consciousness is connected, it is not 100% error-free, otherwise training drivers would not be so difficult now. Training a driver alone is much simpler and more efficient than training two drivers to cooperate with each other.
Shaw Industries and this world do not have the technology to achieve it, but the group can, put a quantum computer in the mecha!
Antimatter is used for power. The energy obtained from the annihilation of antimatter is used to drive the Giant Spirit Mecha, and then pile materials in, such as the stand launcher, which can be unfolded like a light wing, with energy punches.
In addition to basic kicks, it is to use weapons to attack.
You also need to be able to use "spells". How to implement spells is also very simple. You can use a set of fire and lightning. There is also a second form. Red light emerges from the gaps between the muscles, the eyes turn red, the mouth opens, and it is angry and spews out golden flames.
Actual combat is not the most important thing. The key is to look good and make people believe in and admire it sincerely!
Engineers have seen the world and are no longer pure materialists. Many people have begun to believe in the power of idealism.
Again, if the devil exists, what reason is there not to believe that God exists?
The design of internal parts has become the least important issue. After all, the giant mecha is big enough to fit anything.
The design drawings and technology are ready... so how long will it take to make the mecha?
The answer is 6 months.
A monster will appear in the Pacific Rim Abyss Rift every three months, and this time is getting shorter and shorter. In the six-month manufacturing cycle, a monster will appear in the Pacific Rim again. Those monsters can only be fought by the mecha of the Pacific Rim Joint Defense Force.
After the start of work, Shaw Industries fully cooperated with the group's engineers. Anyway, they only needed some equipment, and the materials were basically airlifted. Asking people to help can also explore the foundation of the plane joint organization.
In the huge factory, there are constantly engineering mechas walking. They carry or haul various large parts, go in and out of the metal shell, and are assembled and connected by the super experts of the engineering team.
The frame of the mecha took less than a month to complete, and the customized shell was also produced from the super factory in the Resident Evil world in this month and transported to the warehouse of Shaw Industries one after another.
The splicing of large mechas requires the assistance of giant gantry, but Shaw Industries does not have a suitable gantry. Fortunately, the group's anti-gravity industrial auxiliary aircraft can make up for this.
Shaw Industries' engineers saw how real cyber engineers work.
Except for some parts that require manual feeling and flexible debugging, engineers will sit in a control cabin, wearing a helmet, and control various unmanned equipment for the rest.
The densely packed unmanned equipment is like a group of hardworking bees, going in and out of the shell of the mecha, constantly splicing the parts in the drawings, and the auxiliary supercomputer can ensure that every part can find its own position.
The energy transmission in the giant spirit mecha uses the liquid superconductor of Cybertron technology. The red superconductor original liquid is infused into the "meridians" of the mecha like blood.
When the project was in the third month, Godzilla landed in Tokyo again and fought with Godzilla for half a month, and then Godzilla fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption.
Then the first fourth-level monster appeared in the deep Pacific Ocean. Sydney was killed by Godzilla in seconds because of the Eureka Raider stationed in Australia and the driver. In the end, the monster was solved by Storm Red from the East.
Two months later, the Giant Spirit Mecha was completed with perfect supporting technology and assembly and construction at no cost!
Originally, this mecha did not have much technical difficulty. It only used existing mature technology, and the design also referred to the original mecha produced by Shaw Industries. Basically, it just added some fancy but not very practical functions that the group's cyber engineers thought should be added.
The focus is on the four major items of attack power, defense power, speed, and endurance. In simple terms, it is to make bigger weapons, use stronger materials, install stronger engines, and replace better energy systems.
On the contrary, the axe used with the Giant Spirit Mecha took a lot of thought, and a lot of vibranium was found from a certain African tribal country. With the new formula, a stronger and sharper metal axe blade was made.
In the sixth month, the Giant Spirit Mecha, which was completed as expected, began its first power-on test.
