In his heart, he simply had no intention of letting Luo Yun become a Pilot.
Stinky little brother, who are you looking down on?
After the meal, Luo Bing and the others headed to the Training Hall together after dropping off a sulking Luo Yun at school.
On the way, Li Chuyi felt a bit strange and asked:
"How come we didn't see Lin Wange and Lin Changge? Don't they need to eat?"
Luo Bing answered naturally:
"Big Sister Wange is most likely still sleeping right now."
"As for Changge, she's either already at the training room or at the Library; she gets up very early every day."
Li Chuyi scratched his head, looking a bit awkward:
"That's true, their personalities are completely different."
Luo Bing smiled:
"Everyone who knows the two sisters says that, but there is no need to doubt their ability to pilot Mechs."
"They have reached a state of Perfect Understanding; they know exactly what the other is thinking. In this state, they can perfectly unleash the combat power of their Mechs!"
Li Chuyi showed an expression of realization, while also feeling a bit envious.
The Spiritual Connection Index was inspired by the idiom Perfect Understanding. Maintaining such a state is also the best answer for maximizing a Mech's combat power!
However, the group hadn't walked more than a few steps before they all received a message from Old Luo.
Judging by this, it was a notification sent to all Pilots within the base; the matter to be discussed must be very serious.
Li Chuyi's expression became a bit more solemn.
But Luo Bing knew exactly what it was about.
It should be about what happened last night.
After he transformed into Godzilla, the Mechs were not deployed when he started the battle with the Thunder Beast.
In the base, the only person with that authority was Old Luo.
When the four of them arrived at the Conference Room, they walked in to see Lin Changge pulling a sleepy-eyed Lin Wange into their respective seats.
Luo Bing, however, looked ahead and spotted a familiar face.
Of course, it wasn't Old Luo; he was already as familiar as one could possibly be.
This person was none other than Captain Cao, whom Luo Bing had met a few times during his second transformation!
When they first met, the latter had looked like a common fisherman, but today, he was dressed in a crisp, formal military uniform.
It seemed he had officially enlisted.
Old Luo watched with a beaming smile as everyone arrived; it was clear he was in a very good mood.
With such a bombshell of news as a foundation, anyone would be grinning from ear to ear.
"You're all here. The main reason for calling this meeting today is to discuss one thing."
"After you all went to sleep last night, that mysterious Beast King appeared again..."
With a sudden scrape, Li Chuyi stood up:
"General Luo, when a monster appears, why didn't we hear an alarm? Could it be... could it be that I was sleeping too soundly?"
It was international common knowledge that whenever a monster appeared, the mechs had to be deployed simultaneously.
Old Luo's expression remained unchanged as he explained with a chuckle:
"That applies to general circumstances. What we encountered this time was unusual, so I took the liberty of not notifying you until the Beast King showed signs of aggression."
"Regarding this incident, I have already submitted a full written report to the domestic authorities for review, and I take full responsibility."
"However, the focus of this meeting is not on that; the real focus is this Beast King..."
Old Luo then laid out the entire story of how the Beast King had slaughtered two Thunder Beasts in succession.
Everyone listened in stunned silence.
No one had expected that while they were sleeping soundly, such an event had actually taken place!
If it had just been a simple case of monsters fighting each other, that would have been one thing.
After all, such occurrences were not uncommon.
If satellite surveillance focused enough on the open ocean or deserted islands, one might occasionally capture two monsters engaged in a "friendly exchange."
But this Beast King was different.
He displayed an extraordinary level of hostility toward other monsters, even chasing them from the coastal waters of Sakurajima all the way to the Pacific Ocean, ultimately finishing off the two thieving Thunder Beasts.
As for humanity... his attitude was entirely neutral, perhaps even bordering on friendly!
When Old Luo reached this point, he even displayed the satellite photo of Godzilla rewarding Old Cao with a fish.
The room was once again filled with shock.
"What is this supposed to be? The first friendly exchange between a monster and a human?"
Lin Wange was no longer sleepy; she couldn't help but chime in with a sarcastic remark.
Old Luo replied in a mysterious, sage-like tone:
"It counts, and yet it doesn't."
"Because it is highly likely that only this one Beast King holds such an attitude; there isn't a second one."
"This gentleman here is the captain from the photo, and he is a witness who experienced all of this firsthand!"
Old Luo pushed Captain Cao forward and introduced him to everyone.
Following that, Captain Cao recounted his personal experience to the group and was met with a warm reception.
This was a firsthand account from someone who had been at the scene, which was far more authentic than hearing second or third-hand information later on.
Of course, they didn't know that another person who had been at the scene was also in the room.
Luo Bing, like everyone else, put on a posture of listening intently.
However, he was inwardly grumbling, because he kept feeling that Captain Cao seemed to be looking at him a bit too often.
Little did he know that Old Cao was feeling puzzled as well.
Old Cao kept feeling that whenever he made eye contact with Luo Bing, he got a sense of déjà vu, but it was just a tiny flicker of recognition that he couldn't quite pin down when he tried to think about it.
In the end, he could only attribute it to his age and his brain not being as sharp as it used to be.
After some discussion and communication, Old Luo announced his first decision:
"From now on, to ensure no accidents occur, our base's mechs will remain in standby mode after this Beast King appears; they will not be deployed immediately!"
"Although the Beast King did not attack after encountering Wulei, its sheer size is a factor. Any action could potentially trigger an overreaction!"
Lin Wange raised her hand:
"I have an objection!"
"If it's out at sea, then I have no complaints."
"But if it appears near the coastline, or even reaches an inland city, what are we supposed to do then? Just watch as mech pilots?"
Old Luo's expression remained unchanged; he was not surprised by the question Lin Wange had raised.
He replied:
"In the coastal areas, the original order remains unchanged!"
"If it moves onto land, deploy the mechs, but maintain a distance of at least fifteen kilometers from the Beast King!"
The experts in the Analysis Room had discussed this all night and finally reached a conclusion: staying beyond fifteen kilometers from the Beast King Godzilla's breath range should ensure safety!
The Charged Breath had obliterated the Thunder Beast from a distance of five li.
That was a distance of less than three thousand meters.
Within a range of five thousand meters, the power of the Beast King's breath would not diminish.
According to a mathematical formula calculated by one of the experts, they speculated that the Beast King's breath would begin to weaken beyond ten kilometers, and its power would drop drastically beyond fifteen kilometers, until it no longer posed a threat to the outer armor of the mechs.
If Luo Bing knew about these things, he would surely just chuckle.
These experts were truly "brick" experts.
The few members of the Godzilla species who excelled at breath attacks were cheaters capable of firing a single blast into outer space to annihilate a planet!
And the King of Monsters Godzilla that Luo Bing transformed into did not have breath as his primary strength.
But it was definitely not weak either.
Although the range wouldn't break through the Earth's atmosphere.
But a fifteen-kilometer safety distance...
Little brother, who are you looking down on?
Does anyone know what's going on with the V-tuber with 3,500 captains on Bilibili? I didn't follow the V-tuber scene before, and now I'm shocked from head to toe.
Also, I've set up a chat room, let's all have fun together, 466737253.
031. Bald Big Shot Dr. Chen 3
According to the "brick" experts, beyond a distance of fifteen kilometers, the power of the Beast King's Atomic Breath would rapidly decay.
At this distance, even the Beast King's Charged Breath would no longer possess the ability to kill in one hit.
Relying on the mechs' outer armor would be enough to ensure safety!
The experts built a mathematical model to demonstrate their correctness.
It was logical and well-founded, and quite convincing!
Although it felt like the expert's explanation was a bit off, there were no obvious loopholes to be found.
Thus, the group nodded one after another, silently cheering for the expert's brilliance in their hearts.
Luo Bing, in particular, was cheering the loudest.
"If the Beast King comes ashore and approaches the city area, deploy the mechs and maintain a safe distance of at least fifteen kilometers for observation. Adapt as the situation changes!"
Old Luo finally turned to Lin Wange and asked:
"Wange, do you have any other objections to this?"
Lin Wange frowned, not lowering the right hand she had raised to ask her question:
"Then... if this Beast King displays the same ferocious nature as other monsters and suddenly begins a massacre of humans, are we still going to stay fifteen kilometers away and just watch from afar?"
The Conference Room fell into a sudden silence.
Old Cao realized that the current topics were not ones he could participate in.
So, he reported to Old Luo, turned around, and slipped away quickly.
Old Luo remained silent for a long time.
Then, he looked up at Lin Wange, whose expression remained resolute.
This girl, who had a penchant for telling dad jokes, looked carefree and unserious on the surface.
But Old Luo and Luo Bing both knew that when it truly came to a critical moment, when it mattered most, she was far more reliable than anyone could have imagined!
