Chapter 3 Deus Ex Machina?

Chapter 3 Deus ex machina? !

Broken dome.

Everyone gathered together and surrounded Storm Red.

The three brothers of the Wei family staggered out, rubbing their still fainting heads and reporting to Marshal Steck.

"What happened exactly? Tell me everything!" Steck asked.

So, the eldest brother Wei Xiang told the story from beginning to end, including their mental state at the time and the details of the battle.

"At that time, I always felt that Storm Red had changed, and it was a strange feeling." Wei Hu said helplessly.

"This is the first time we have encountered this situation, and it takes some time to study it." The maintenance manager of Storm Red said.

Steck took a deep look at Storm Red and patted the manager on the shoulder, "Give me an answer as soon as possible."

After that, he left with Mori Mako who followed him silently.

"Anyway, the monster was successfully eliminated." Dr. Herman in the crowd spoke suddenly.

"It's running wild like a monster. Hey Herman, I suddenly found that the mecha is so beautiful." Dr. Newton cast a curious look at Storm Red.

The crowd dispersed, and the Storm Red team began to get busy.

After repeated docking tests and inspections and repairs in all aspects, there was no gain for the whole day.

Late at night.

Tsk~

The three brothers took off their helmets and looked at each other with a wry smile.

Failed again.

It can be linked, but it is a pipe dream to want to control it. You can only be a bystander who can't do anything.

"Go and rest," the person in charge pushed his glasses and said to everyone tiredly, "I'll see if there is anything I overlooked."

The rest of the people had to leave silently, and the huge base immediately became much quieter, with only the sound of various heavy machinery operating incessantly.

"Old buddy, what's wrong with you?" The person in charge patted Storm Red's feet and sighed.

His name is Chen Sheng, 48 years old, a famous mecha scientist, who has made great contributions to the birth of Storm Red. Together with two other foreign scientists, he is known as the "Father of Red".

Chu Xin looked at this slightly depressed middle-aged man and did not speak.

Although he has no mouth and vocal cords, he has the voice system used by the driver, so he can make sounds.

But he has nothing to say at the moment, and his attention is all on the cards in his mind.

The suspected system plug-in is communicating with him in calm text:

"Perfect first battle and first kill, familiar with the mechanical body and use it with the fastest efficiency, and the power of the thundercloud formation is brought to the extreme, showing a calm state of mind and a crisp style, proficiency +4%, reaching 5%."

"In view of the excellent performance, you will get a chance to strengthen your limbs. Please determine the part that needs to be strengthened."

Chu Xin thought calmly, and recalled the plot of the movie carefully. He gave an answer almost without hesitation, "Head."

"Confirmed, strengthening is in progress."

The invisible mysterious power enveloped Chu Xin's head and neck.

In just a few seconds, the toughness of the titanium alloy increased by at least ten times, enough to resist any attack from a level 4 monster.

Storm Red is indeed very strong, but its path is a bit extreme. Although its lethality is terrifying, it also has a huge weakness.

That is the fragile head cockpit, which also caused it to be shot in the head by the tail rat in the movie and offline.

This is a regret for countless domestic audiences, and Chu Xin was no exception.

Now that he has become Storm Red, how can he not change his seemingly destined fate? Then he will personally write a legend of Red.

Moreover, this concerns his life and property, so he has to pay the highest attention to it, and it is also necessary to prepare for a rainy day!

When Chu Xin clicked on the proficiency again, a column similar to the achievement record appeared below 5%: Mastering the Thunder Cloud Formation; Strengthening the Head Toughness.

"This big brother is still not asleep, what is he busy with?" Chu Xin unexpectedly found that Chen Sheng was still jumping around.

After a while, he knew.

Gurgle~

A large amount of liquid with a strong pungent smell was injected into his body, filling the entire space without a single gap.

What made him feel extremely satisfied and happy?

It turned out to be the slippery and fanatical diesel.

Unlike the nuclear reactors of mechas such as the Wanderer, Storm Red is powered by diesel, and each joint is equipped with fifty diesel engines, which can be said to be very hardcore and retro.

"I have to learn to eat by myself in the future." Chu Xin realized a point worth paying attention to.

"All countries are building monster walls, and more and more mechas are retired. I don't know how long you can still gallop on the battlefield." Chen Sheng said with emotion, and then disappeared around the corner with a tired back.

Chu Xin suddenly felt a little amused. He didn't get such treatment when he was a human in his previous life.

I was reincarnated as a piece of iron and was loved by thousands of people?

So strange~

...

The next day.

Another busy day began.

Early in the morning, technicians from all countries gathered around Storm Red.

"Is there any problem with the docking system?" asked Mori Mako. Although she is young, she is the maintenance manager of Dangerous Wanderer.

"It has been tested fourteen times and even the core equipment has been replaced, but it still doesn't work." Chen Sheng shook his head.

Everyone was speechless for a moment. They always felt that the situation was beyond their understanding. The pure mechanical mecha suddenly went berserk for no reason, and the key was that it performed brilliantly. How could it make sense?

"Is it an intelligent machine crisis?" Someone made a bold guess.

"It's not an unmanned artificial intelligence, unless it has learned combat skills automatically."

"We have considered what you said, but we can't find any loopholes after checking."

A bunch of people talked a lot, but soon they all shut up.

"Don't make unwarranted guesses, let the facts speak for themselves," Marshal Steck walked into the room and looked at the huge mecha across the window, "Try again."

These words were said to the three brothers of the Wei family, and the three of them immediately trotted out after receiving the order.

Buzz~

The mecha started, and diesel was rolling.

"The three brains were successfully connected, and they are being synchronized with Storm Red."

"One failed, two failed, three... Wait, success!"

But before the three brothers could calm down, they felt a chill on their backs, as if they were being looked down and stared at by an invisible god, and their whole bodies were clearly seen.

In an instant, their minds were blank, their thoughts stagnated, and no matter how the control room shouted, there was no response.

Just as Marshal Steck was about to forcibly cut off the power, Wei Xiang's voice came from the loudspeaker, "Many years ago, they came to Earth, in the Triassic period 250 million to 203 million years ago, but the oxygen content in the Earth's atmosphere at that time was extremely high, and the environment was not suitable for their survival, so they wrote down the coordinates of the Earth."

Wei Jin took over, "Today, many years later, the Earth's environment has been destroyed by humans, pollution has worsened, and the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere has increased, which is extremely suitable for their survival, so they took action."

Wei Hu continued, "They sent mass-produced biological weapons, that is, monsters that have plagued the Earth for many years, wanting to use poisonous blood to completely eliminate the indigenous humans and completely change the Earth's ecology. At that time, they will come in person."

The three said in unison, "They are an alien civilization, called pioneers."

Their tone did not contain any emotional fluctuations, like a cold machine, as if their minds were controlled by someone.

The familiar people noticed something strange when they heard it, and while digesting this shocking content, they called out to the three brothers loudly.

"Ahem!"

The three of them came back to their senses, and were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.

"What did we say just now?" Wei Hu said stupidly.

"It wasn't us who said that. It seemed that," Wei Jin swallowed his saliva, "Storm Red was controlling us in reverse."

Wei Xiang hesitated for a moment and said in a trembling voice, "It seems to be conscious?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was silent.

"No, it's impossible. There is no scientific logic at all!" A technician refuted decisively.

Buzz--

The electronic equipment in the control room suddenly flashed.

Then everyone saw that several lines of words appeared on all the screens and kept scrolling.

"Two warnings for humans: Don't try to communicate with the monster's brain, and don't put your hope on the fragile monster wall."

The white words on the black background were particularly dazzling.

"This message comes from Storm Red itself." Someone said tremblingly.

The faces of more than a dozen people present were pale, and a chill rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads uncontrollably, and the indescribable fear of the unknown lingered in their hearts.

No one spoke for a long time. They just stared at Storm Red silently.

Marshal Stek twitched his eyes in disbelief and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Deus ex machina?"

Nowadays, from the world to the mecha, everything has fallen into a quagmire that is difficult to escape. The confused humans don't know how to move forward at all. They can only grope in the dark and try desperate measures. Some build walls, some worship gods. The entire Pacific Rim is in chaos.

Storm Red's extraordinary performance, plus the unknown intelligence that sounds very convincing, if true, will definitely break the cage and move to a new level.

In summary, it is more appropriate to say Deus ex machina!
