(The territory was setting out, gathering all the elite pilots. If they really counted them all, there were simply too many, and not many would get a chance to stand out.)
Xiao Ran nodded. Active Alloy possessed excellent regenerative properties, ductility, and flexibility. Combined with defensive strength on par with third-generation Gundanium Alloy, it could be used in many places. It was especially suitable for mecha armor, though not for the frame itself. A frame required sturdiness, durability, shock resistance, and stability—above all, stability.
Active Alloy was simply too flexible. They were not building a serpentine mecha, so excessive flexibility was no good. Still, using the alloy for armor and necessary areas such as joint protection was already quite excellent.
Luo continued, "I've also arranged for people to continue developing Getter Active Alloy. Perhaps we'll eventually develop second- and third-generation versions, or Type I and Type II models. Of course, we won't see any results in the short term."
"Besides the Active Alloy, Getter NEO has been fully deciphered, and prototype production has already begun. The first batch of Prototype Machines should roll off the line in roughly two months. We'll probably need some highly capable test pilots to put them through their paces then."
"This Getter NEO is just as you said. It looks like a Super Robot, and it does use some Super Robot technology, but it is entirely a mecha that can be replicated using the Real Robot technology we currently possess."
"Come to think of it, I even feel that once our current technology reaches its ultimate limit, perhaps we might be able to turn ourselves into Super Robots or Fantasy types. At the highest level, would the divide between the three categories really remain so distinct?"
Luo shook his head as he spoke. Xiao Ran
