Chapter 485 - 479: Father of Mecha · God’s Temptation
[God]Gray and [Prophet]Ma Ran’s battle was cataclysmic, shaking the heavens and earth, the ocean surged, and between the sky and sea, it seemed as if a zone of extinction had formed.
The battleship patrolling the sea seemed like a tiny boat at this moment — an almost ninety-degree, thousand-meter vertical tsunami proved once again that at Earth’s current level of technological achievement, humanity is still no match for the mighty forces of nature.
The warriors on the cruiser, seeing the "sea wall" approaching, felt their bodies being torn by the fierce wind mingled with water droplets, ready to be thrown into the ocean at any moment, meeting their demise.
At this critical moment, a quiet shout echoed in everyone’s ears.
"Break!"
A girl holding the Water Quality Thunder Spear suddenly appeared in front of the battleship, striking with her spear as if the world itself collided, infinite winds surging continuously between heaven and earth, and that sea wall was shattered by her strike.
After performing this feat effortlessly, Su Qiangwei remained as calm as ever, seemingly without any loss.
Moreover, during this process, she seemed to have realized something. Although the Water Quality Thunder Spear in her hand maintained its golden-blue theme, it was adorned with some fiery red highlights, and her slender figure exuded an even more fierce aura, as if she had become stronger!
The waves continued to surge, and the battleship had not stabilized, making it extremely difficult for the warriors to maintain their posture.
They wanted to salute but couldn’t spare a hand — if they didn’t use all their strength to secure themselves to the ship, they might be thrown overboard. If they landed inside the ship, it would be fine, but if unlucky, and they were tossed into the sea, their fate would be left to the heavens.
Su Qiangwei looked down at the battleship, nodded slightly, then raised her head to gaze into the distance, noticing some fighter jets in the sky also affected by the violent ocean currents and storm, helplessly tumbling like wounded birds.
The situation faced by these patrol planes wasn’t as dangerous as that of the cruiser, so she did not need to intervene personally.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Indeed!
In just three seconds, even as these patrol planes struggled against the fierce winds and tsunami, backup arrived at the battlefield.
It was a mecha shining with golden brilliance.
It flew across the sky, leaving a dazzling golden trail, with swirling winds around it, vaguely condensing into the roar of an Eastern true dragon, highly conspicuous in the dark, gloomy environment.
Su Qiangwei instantly recognized it as China’s second-generation mecha renowned for speed, the[Golden Dragon]. Its overall combat power was comparable to the first-generation mecha, but it reduced the usage requirements.
Nevertheless, at this stage, only a handful of mechanicians could meet its requirements.
If Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei wished, they could easily pilot any second-generation mecha, but for them, with their high combat power, becoming a mecha pilot was meaningless.
At their current level, any mecha was like a toy in their eyes.
The Golden Dragon emitted a clear and standard Mandarin broadcast tone, as if the pilot inside were also a news announcer: "Hang in there! We’re almost there!"
There was no one else who could pilot the [Golden Dragon] like this except Eldest Prince Li Tang of Chuanke.
As soon as he received the message, President Huang Weiguo assigned Li Tang the rescue mission.
He journeyed through rain and storm, racing from Hubei to the South Sea in a short time, experiencing blazing sun, gloomy fog, torrential rain, and even sleet with ice grains along the way.
The environment was even harsher upon reaching the South Sea.
Li Tang noticed that along the way, some sea fish frozen into ice chunks shattered into icy meat and bone fragments on the Golden Dragon mecha, bursting apart.
For Li Tang, piloting a mecha had little impact on his combat power. At worst, the mecha would get blown apart, and he would crush the enemy’s head with his bare hands.
But all his energy on Earth was devoted to China’s mecha development.
Originally, it was just a toy and pastime, to reassure Ma Ran and give a token of allegiance.
However, as time passed, the investment of effort, time, and energy increased, along with gaining more recognition from colleagues, and receiving their concern, the resistance deep within Li Tang was quietly and rapidly fading away.
He almost considered "reforming the mecha system" as his true career, one worth dedicating his life to!
What?
[Emotional Tribulation]Jin Yina?
Damn it!
If no one mentioned this name, Li Tang would almost forget this person’s existence.
The longer he interacted with Ma Ran, the more Li Tang felt unable to see through this enigmatic individual, and it was precisely because of this that he dared to ensure that Ma Ran would not easily let him die before exhausting his value.
Especially not due to the foolish death of being dragged down by Jin Yina...
Impossible!
In summary, Li Tang almost didn’t consider Jin Yina’s existence during this period, completely letting himself go and wholeheartedly investing in the development of second-generation mecha with his colleagues.
Without women in mind, the creation naturally becomes divine!
During this process, Li Tang’s talent was fully unleashed.
Even he didn’t expect the continuous flash of inspiration in his mind while creating mecha, seemingly endless.
Turning those inspirations into cold, hard, massive mecha was an unparalleled sense of achievement!
Recently, on the Earth Super Forum, many enthusiasts attributed the title of [Father of Mecha] to Li Tang, which gave him a sense of complex emotions and a deeper connection to this land beneath his feet.
Even if he were offered the position of Emperor Chuanke, Li Tang wouldn’t trade it!
Anyway, during this time, Li Tang felt that his inadvertent smiles outnumbered those in his past life combined!
Although His Majesty the Emperor controlled the entire Star System, with supreme power, capable of extinguishing billions of lives with a single thought, Li Tang could guarantee — he was not happy!
The Chuanke Civilization’s 160,000-year history has seen many emperors, and Li Tang’s father was just an average one among them.
Reflecting on this, Li Tang shook his head, cleared his throat, and declared, "Commence the first test of the [Life Radar] module, searching for any humanoid survivors in the nearby sea!"
"Power — ninety percent!"
A purple halo radiated from the stylish and dazzling golden mecha, transforming into invisible waves spreading in all directions within moments.
...
Gray, now only a head, looked blankly at Ma Ran and said in a faint tone, "I’m about to die, can you answer one question for me?"
Earth humans, when reduced to just a head, would certainly be unable to speak.
Gray...
Could no longer be considered an ordinary Earth human.
