Chapter 150: TPC Engaged in an Arms Race
At the TPC Far East base, Daigo was already on his way to the amusement park, while Kaul stayed behind in the underground containment hangar.
The area maintains a sterile environment with constant temperature and humidity year-round, and the lights shine down from dozens of meters high, illuminating the three giant stone statues in the center of the hangar very clean.
Aside from Camilla, Darrambah, and Hitler, there are no other giants, though perhaps their statues exist elsewhere underground or in the sea.
These three giants stood silently within a specially made alloy restraint frame. Although they had lost their radiance, the oppressive feeling that spanned thirty million years still excited all the researchers present.
"My God... this is simply a miracle of the Creator, no, this is a perfect thing that completely defies the common sense of modern biology and physics."
With dark circles under his eyes and a stack of analysis reports in his hand, Digging Well's chubby face was filled with both fervor and exhaustion.
He turned his head and looked at Kaul, who was sitting in the rest area, legs crossed and casually sipping black coffee on the table.
"Chief of Staff, our research bureau has used the highest precision particle collider to reverse engineer the powder on the surface of the statues, but the data is a complete mess. The internal structure of these statues is not that of conventional carbon-based or silicon-based life forms. They... they are like empty containers, or rather, carriers of some kind of enormous energy."
Kaul put down his coffee cup, surprised by the discovery: "Well digger, your intuition is very sharp, it..."
We are indeed just containers now.
Kaul stood up, walked to Camilla's statue, and patted his calf.
"Thirty million years ago, these warriors separated their spirits and light to protect the Earth, leaving behind these bodies for combat. As long as humans with specific light genetic factors are found, they can be reawakened."
"The genetic factor of light? That is, the genes of the ancient people?" Horii scratched his head.
"But that madman Masaki Keigo used this principle to revive Daga, and now he's on TV every day proclaiming himself the god of Earth, causing widespread panic in society. If we also go to find a suitable candidate, are we going to create even more gods?"
"No, Masaki Keigo stole it; he misunderstood the nature of light." Kaul turned around.
"Dig well, I asked you to study these stone statues not to mass-produce Ultraman, but to make you humans understand that the boundary between light and darkness is not so absolute. These three stone statues once represented the duality of the giants, one side being darkness and the other being light."
Digging well nodded, indicating that he understood, but not entirely.
"I understand, Advisor. I will lead the team to adjust the research direction," Jui promised.
Meanwhile, in the F4 hangar.
Police Chief Tetsuji Yoshioka was among them.
"Dr. Yao! I don't want to hear about theoretical risks, nor do I want to see reports that say it needs three months of safety testing. I just want results! When will the actual deployment of the Max Propulsion System be completed?!"
Dr. Yao wiped the cold sweat from his brow and looked at the notoriously short-tempered bureau chief in front of him.
Even if he didn't want to mount the Max propulsion system on the vehicle, the situation was already like this, and he could only helplessly explain, "Director Yoshioka, the modification of the Snow White has entered its final stage, but the reverse thrust generated by the Max propulsion system is simply too enormous. If a thorough safety test is not conducted, the test pilot will be instantly killed if an energy overload occurs in the air!"
"Does the current situation still allow us to conduct tests at a leisurely pace?!" Yoshioka turned around and pointed to the news footage from the previous days playing on the big screen.
In the scene, Masaki Keigo, transformed into Daga, is toying with a subterranean monster that has just emerged from the ground, while countless fanatical followers of the "Daga Salvation Society" surround him.
Many people who were unaware of the truth also joined the church, simply because the other side had defeated the monster. However, the monster only came to the ground to catch its breath and did not even go to the city; it just rested in the forest for a while.
"Look at this guy who calls himself a god, he's slowly changing the order of human society. He doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all; he's only showing off his giant power! And those people, out of fear of the monster, are actually treating him like a savior!"
"Humanity's fate must not be entrusted to a madman who wants to become a god and be worshipped by thousands, nor can we forever rely on Kaul's monsters. We must possess humanity's own ultimate weapon! Dr. Eight-Tailed Fox, I don't care what you use..."
"There's only one way: ten days! The Max propulsion system must be put into testing within ten days! I, Tetsuji Yoshioka, will take full responsibility for any consequences!"
"We can't let this guy continue..."
Under research pressure and Director Yoshioka's strict orders, the entire R&D center began to accelerate the implementation of the Max system.
Unbeknownst to anyone, in the laboratory, a file on Ebron cells was being used in an experiment by a scientist on the verge of collapse due to stress and low self-esteem.
This time bomb, named Ryosuke Sanada, is starting its countdown in the TPC arms race.
The area outside the amusement park.
The Victory Team's Flying Swallow No. 1 and No. 2 were already circling around, and the ground police forces had also set up a cordon. However, what lay before everyone was a barrier, and a real solution had not yet been found.
"Laser weapons are ineffective! Missiles can only explode on top of it!" The voice of Vice Captain Munakata came through the communication channel. "This barrier is extremely stable. We need Hori and Nozue to conduct more research on it."
Inside the barrier, Gadi was wielding two long whips, wantonly destroying things in the amusement park.
Its target is very clear: the children. Whenever its tentacles grab a child, it makes a sound and drags it into the nest it has dug underground.
"Damn it! Let them go!"
Shinjo, dressed in casual clothes, carried only a Hyper gun, the standard issue weapon for the Victory Team. He shielded Mayumi and a group of terrified children behind him and fired wildly at Gadi's whip.
However, when the laser from the Hyperion gun hits Gadi's skin, it doesn't have much of a practical effect other than causing sparks.
"Brother! Watch out!" Mayumi screamed.
A whip lashed out at Xincheng's location. Instinctively, Xincheng closed his eyes, preparing to shield the children from the blow with his body.
Just then, a flash of light appeared in the sky!
The light bullet fell from the sky and hit Gadi's whip, shattering it instantly.
Everyone looked up and, through the barrier, saw the giant Daga, suspended high in the sky, his body entirely silver-gray and his posture haughty.
"Daga has come to save us!" Outside the police line, the unsuspecting crowd began to cheer.
