Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#852 - Mecha Concept

Approximately three hours later, the monsters successfully landed in Sydney, Australia.

During the journey, they mostly ignored the small island nations they passed, showing no interest whatsoever. Even when they encountered islands or land, they simply went around them.

As they approached Australia, they purposefully submerged and followed the coastline of the Great Australian Bight until they reached the southeastern coastal region of the country. Only then, upon seeing the bustling metropolis, did they choose to come ashore and wreak havoc...

Such a strategy clearly indicates one thing.

That is, compared to the exploratory cruises of the previous two monster invasions, this third round, with three monsters arriving together, seems to be mainly for the purpose of destruction.

As a result, Sydney, a famous metropolis in the South Pacific, was truly unlucky this time.

In broad daylight, the three hundred-meter-tall monsters began to work together, landing on the coast next to the city's iconic Opera House. Roaring, they rampaged and charged into the city's interior.

Giant claws, long tails, roars, and swaying bodies caused top-tier buildings of all kinds to crumble like paper under these seemingly primitive attacks. Their demolition efficiency was truly astonishing.

Fortunately, the Australian side was well-prepared.

Not only did they have the American 'father's' army stationed within their borders, but they also possessed the real-time sandbox map that Liang Yue had temporarily shared through the intelligent AI, Xiao Wu.

Of course, this sharing was only with Stark's intelligent butler, Jarvis, who then indirectly conveyed the information to the American military and S.H.I.E.L.D.

In any case, when they learned that three monsters would be landing in their own city to cause destruction, they took action almost immediately.

Furthermore, based on the monsters' wandering direction, they urgently evacuated nearly half of Sydney's local population.

All combat forces were quickly assembled, with the army, navy, and air force fully deployed. Even the two spaceships that the United States and Britain had been using for experimental projects in the solar system were forced to abandon their original mission plans and quickly arrived over Australia.

It seems that as members of the Five Eyes alliance, they truly care about the lives and deaths of their own people...

In addition, it is said that the member countries of the Five Eyes alliance seem to have reached a secret scientific research cooperation agreement.

Specifically, it concerns a collaborative project on a research laboratory on Xandar.

The parties agreed that as long as people from the Five Eyes countries can obtain tourist quotas and successfully land on Xandar, their scientific research cooperation agreement will take effect immediately.

Compared to verbal agreements with other countries in the world, this kind of relationship based on racial identity, an alliance within the Anglo-Saxon race, is obviously much closer.

This relationship is also reflected in the current monster invasion event.

Almost within half an hour after Liang Yue passed the information to Stark, the major American military bases stationed in Australia completed their assembly.

They began to quickly mobilize combat forces, pursuing the monsters from land and air.

The American military had apparently rehearsed similar situations before, so some secret weapons that were originally only stored on the mainland were now being transported to Australia.

Therefore, in the face of the monsters wreaking havoc in downtown Sydney, the Five Eyes coalition was not entirely without a means of retaliation.

The process was roughly as follows: the United States and Britain first used the two spaceships Liang Yue had leased to them to quickly transfer two of the monsters to the desert region in the Australian outback using tractor beams from high altitude.

The remaining one, after a period of destruction, was temporarily frozen in the city by the American military's freeze ray.

A few minutes later, after the spaceships finished transporting the monsters, they turned around and made another trip, dropping the third one in the desert as well.

Then, awaiting these three monsters were various experimental weapons and saturated ammunition stockpiles from the human coalition...

The outcome was predictable, but some damage was inevitable during the process.

In addition, the repeated monster invasion incidents over the past few months have once again sparked widespread discussion in the world's online sphere, with various arguments being made.

However, most people are only vaguely aware of the situation, and have not even figured out the origin of these monsters, believing that they are truly motivated by bizarre reasons similar to those in certain cartoons.

That humanity's wanton destruction of the Earth's ecological environment has triggered the dissatisfaction of Mother Earth, who has deliberately released these monsters to destroy human industrialized civilization.

These monsters themselves are also attributed to a self-protection mechanism of the Earth, a self-defense means similar to white blood cells clearing bacteria...

People with slightly clearer minds mostly focus their discussions on how countries should respond to the subsequent monster offensives.

What kind of strategy should be established, and what means and weapons should be used to effectively eliminate these biological weapons.

The domestic side also obviously attaches great importance to this issue.

Regardless of the heated discussions among various civilians and opinion leaders in the online world.

After the battle situation in Australia had settled, and the three monsters had been submerged by massive amounts of ammunition and firepower, the officers and soldiers in the small city farm also used the monster invasion event as an opportunity to launch a post-war summary and internal opinion discussion meeting on the spot.

While watching the real-time images on the panoramic sandbox, they summarized the experience of the monster biological weapon invasion process and tried to propose some of their own solutions.

In comparison, Meng Xiaoyu was more direct, turning her head and asking Liang Yue for his opinion on the matter.

...

"I think the Transformers' combat mode is good."

"Transformers? But in fact, although they are a mechanical race, the entire technology tree within the race has almost been locked. In addition, their homeland has been destroyed.

They have almost lost the possibility of establishing related scientific research laboratories, and even Optimus Prime, as the leader, does not have any decent offensive weapons in his hands.

Are you going to have him go up and slash at the monsters with those few high-heat melee weapons?"

"You think it won't work just because the technology level is not high enough."

Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoyu suddenly had an idea, raising her eyebrows and looking at Liang Yue as she continued.

"You mean~ we build mechs? With the technology of the arc reactor, there are no more problems in terms of energy drive, but the matching weapons~

Do you have any ready-made mech samples here?"

"Yes, but I don't want to take them out."

Liang Yue heard this, glanced at her, and said.

"Why?"

"Let them figure out their own solutions."

"..."
