Chapter 689: Let’s build a mecha, just for Chloe!
Helena became more and more excited as she spoke, her charred face actually flushing a little. "Steel plates can be made into armor, so let's make a super-large armor and engrave the ritual runes on it. It's a pity that such a huge armor is still too powerful for an individual to handle."
The power of the extraordinary people is great, but not so great that they can split mountains and break rocks. For example, the deep-sea heavy armor worn by the Banshee may be a bit difficult for other extraordinary people to wear.
In order to completely etch the ritual runes on it, the area required is definitely not small, and it would be difficult for a transcendent to bear such armor.
Of course, there are more reasonable methods, such as adding a power source and making a steam tank.
Castel's steam engine has been improved many times and has done a good job in lightweighting. It is theoretically feasible to use it to drive armored vehicles, and this is also the most reasonable solution.
But Zeus licked his lips and looked back at the package that Ash had been holding in his hand. It was the technical data that the delegation had obtained from the Mechanical Temple. It was a good thing that was not even available on Blue Star in the previous life.
Xiu Si suddenly discovered that he seemed to have inadvertently gathered a whole set of advanced technologies, which means that his options were not limited to tanks, there was another option.
The Mechanical Temple has a complete set of methods to combine the human body and machinery, and Castel is good at steam power.
Can he make a mecha?
Once this thought came to mind, he couldn't stop and felt his heart pounding.
This is a mecha. Which time traveler can withstand such a test?
"Tata, Gaia probably won't be back for a while, so just continue with your research and development. I think Helena's idea is feasible, so give it a try."
Tata was stunned: "This, this is not good, she is obviously the head of R&D, and she also has to pay for the funds..."
"Don't worry about the funding!" Hughes responded firmly. "The funding for this project has been specially approved. Connor will contact you directly later. I think this project is particularly meaningful. For example..."
Xiusi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"For example, if we can help Nora stand up successfully, it will give Chloe a body that she can use more. Chloe has paid a lot for Castel, so even if we need a little more funding, it won't be a problem!"
"Is that okay?" Tata scratched his head. He had no objection, and was rather interested. However, based on experience, any project he was interested in would usually be rejected by the Lord.
"That's great, just go for it."
"good!"
Tata was so excited that his eyes were shining. Had his talent finally been recognized by the lord?
While the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"My Lord, I, I also want to participate in this project."
Xius turned his head and his eyes suddenly went dark.
"Monica? What's wrong with you?"
"Well, I just had a few ideas suddenly," Monica said a little embarrassedly, "and this is also for Sister Chloe."
Xiu Si wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he had no experience with mechas, which were not available on the Blue Planet. It would be better to let Monica try it out. After all, she really had some ideas.
"That's fine, it's for Chloe after all."
"Yes, for Chloe!"
So, without Chloe's knowledge, a new research and development project was quietly born, and it was named after her.
The name is a bit strange, it was named by the lord himself, called the Chloe Trojan Horse Project.
The train sped across the tundra, the steam engine roaring and singing as it moved forward, spewing out thick black smoke that drifted obliquely into the air.
Alvarez took a few quick steps to his seat and woke up Yami and Hunter who were sleeping on the small table opposite him.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Well, what's wrong? Didn't you go to talk to Patriarch Ignatius?" The two men opened their eyes drowsily and yawned.
Alvarez's mind is full of big projects for the development of the North, but unfortunately Hunter and Yami are not interested. One of them likes mechanical engineering and the other likes calculus, but neither of them has much interest in making money.
Therefore, Alvaro felt that his ideas were somewhat out of reach for the masses. He consciously planned for the long term, but his companions around him did not care much.
But he was once a powerful duke after all, and without blinking, he went to talk to Ignati, who was in the same carriage.
This conversation lasted for a long time.
Neither Yami nor Hunter were the chatty type. The northern tundra seemed quite interesting at first glance, but they got bored after a while, and they both fell asleep on the table.
"Uncle, how was the conversation with the Patriarch?" Hunter asked while rubbing his eyes.
"Not bad, he's very easygoing, right? None of this matters. Hurry up and pack your bags!"
"Are we there yet?"
"No, there's a storm coming, look out the window!"
The two turned to look outside and were both surprised.
Now outside the window is a doomsday scene, with dense black clouds pressing down heavily, and the sunlight that has been shining on the tundra is no longer visible.
The howling wind picked up all kinds of stones and leaves, which hit the wall of the carriage with a crackling sound.
"How, how could this happen!?" Yami was stunned, obviously panicking. "What should we do?"
"Pack your luggage and tie it up!" Alvarez shouted, pointing behind him.
The door of the carriage over there was open, and I could see the conductor and the Skitarii comforting the passengers and securing the luggage. They were almost here.
Hunter looked out the window, estimated the direction the train was heading, and was suddenly shocked. "Should we continue forward? It looks like we're going through the storm?"
"Yes! We passed through the storm!" A voice sounded from the side. A few people looked and saw that it was a flight attendant.
"The center of the storm isn't on our railway track. According to estimates, its force isn't strong enough to overturn us. So, just bundle up your luggage, be prepared, and you can head straight through!"
The flight attendant spoke very firmly, but several people looked uneasy.
There's no way. This storm looks very dangerous. Isn't it too risky to go through it?
As they were talking, the wind outside became much louder.
The few of them looked at each other, and finally did not argue with the flight attendant, but packed their luggage separately.
After all, these flight attendants have been on the train for many years and should have more experience.
But when he was packing up, Yami's ears suddenly moved.
"Did you hear any noise?"
"What's that sound?"
"Like running fast?"
