In the civilized era, as the global situation grew increasingly stable, it also became harder and harder to mobilize large-scale war machines.
Under normal circumstances, research into large-scale weapons was primarily intended to deter others, not to prepare for actual invasion.
As a result, many people had once turned their attention and energy toward heroic combat.
The so-called hero, of course, referred to an individual.
Heroic combat meant using an individual's advantages to achieve an effect equivalent to deploying a large-scale war machine.
During the course of research, two factions emerged.
Take the two famous figures from the Wei Movie Universe as examples.
Captain America represented humanity's pursuit of its own potential and exploration of the limits of the human body. He was the culmination of genetic engineering.
Iron Man, on the other hand, represented humanity's pursuit of miniaturized technology to assist itself—the other advanced technology that combined technology with humanity.
Unfortunately, neither of these two fields of research had made any significant breakthroughs before all of humanity crossed over.
Genetic modification was restricted by ethical limitations. It was impossible to mobilize the entire world to study it, so it could only occasionally be seen in movies or comics.
Mecha manufacturing was restricted by the limits of technology. It could not break through the shackles of materials, energy, and other factors, and could only become a fancy showpiece.
In the past, Su Mo had fantasized more than once about waiting until his territory, technology, or even Survival Points were sufficient, then seeing whether he could build a suitable mecha to wear and fulfill the dream of his youth.
But he also knew very well that actually building one—and making it comfortable to wear—would require an astronomical price.
At the very least, humanity's technological research on the wasteland would have to
