And once that was done, even a full tank of fuel would be consumed within a mere ten minutes.

Therefore, Gers ultimately classified this motorcycle as a one-time support or charge weapon.

Gers was particularly excited after the motorcycle was classified. If not for the current tense international situation, he would have truly loved to take this motorcycle out for a spin.

The scientists were also excited. This experimental motorcycle, produced by a temporarily established project, was intended to verify the miniaturization feasibility of anti-gravity technology.

They hadn't expected it to succeed so quickly!

Of course, the drawbacks were also exceptionally obvious.

But for Gers, who pursued speed and excitement, these weren't issues at all!

Moreover, it was simple to manufacture, and the materials could be replaced at any time, as most of them were intended for single use anyway.

The cost-effectiveness was off the charts!

As the initial experiments yielded results, in another partitioned laboratory, Quilstein looked at the Synaptic Translator worn on his head, then at the Monster Sub-Brain in the tank, which was more sanity-draining than Cthulhu.

He fell into deep thought for a moment!

Quan Tiehua, with his large hands, cradled a small bag of potato chips. He sat cross-legged, his expression incredibly pious.

If Dullens were here, he would have loudly reprimanded him. Because in the Chapter's past, whenever they prayed to the Emperor, this kid's expression wasn't even as devoted as it was now for a bag of potato chips!

Quan Tiehua closed his eyes, took a long breath, and then shook the bag of chips vigorously up and down. Listening to the rustling sound inside, he was instantly moved to tears.

He gently tore it open, and the aroma filled the air!

He reached in and grabbed two chips, popping them into his mouth. However, because his entire body had increased in size, these two chips barely registered.

So, he tilted his head back and poured them all in.

Even later... he could often be seen in the base, hugging a large transparent bag of potato chips, his giant hand rummaging inside and stuffing handfuls into his mouth.

If he didn't eat them now, he was afraid he wouldn't get to eat them later.

"What's wrong?" he asked, poking his head through the doorway of the command center upon hearing the urgent voices within!

But the next second, he was captivated by the content displayed on the massive screen inside the command center.

Two colossal monsters were surging towards the brightly lit city, crossing layers of waves.

Memories of Pacific Rim instantly flooded back. They had arrived in 2024.

Although Huaxia's terrifying industrial production chain had already produced several mechs incorporating the technology they provided, and they were guiding the process, Quan Tiehua hadn't forgotten the timeline. It was now the final stage of the Pacific Rim plot.

That was the battle of Xiangcheng.

It was what had most shocked his younger self, especially the Danger Wanderer, who had lifted a ship and swung it like a baseball bat – it was so cool.

It seemed protagonists Raleigh and Mako had completed their initial synaptic connection. However, according to the plot, their outcome was likely not good.

"Are you going out?"

He walked to the combat command center, still holding his chips, but the commander shook his head.

"Crimson Typhoon is already on-site. I believe Shattered Dome Base can hold them off."

Quan Tiehua fell silent for a moment, but then, remembering that after they returned to this base, they learned Crimson Typhoon was their messenger. So, he couldn't help but add, "Be careful. Based on our extensive combat experience against countless xenos, we can definitively conclude that these xenos from another wormhole possess intelligence. And they will upgrade their tactics accordingly."

The person in charge was taken aback. No one had ever considered this possibility since the monsters appeared.

Everyone assumed the wormhole was just a natural cosmic phenomenon that happened to appear on another planet and connect to Earth.

And these monsters were merely the native beasts of those planets!

But now, Quan Tiehua's assertion, coupled with his confident certainty, forced them to ponder deeply.

Seeing them like this, Quan Tiehua turned and left the command center, eating chips as he walked.

To be honest, after obtaining the intelligence that monster blood could almost replace Promethium Fuel, he had developed a great interest in the Precursor civilization on the other side of the wormhole.

If they could clone them and then synthesize them, wouldn't that provide an endless supply of fuel?

Although the Imperium forbade cloning, that was only on the surface. They could just learn from Krieg later!

But the problem was, they likely couldn't leave now.

Ever since they arrived at this base, Huaxia had been verbally demolishing everyone in the United Nations assembly.

They had crushed the Americans, kicked the John Bulls, stomped on the Russia, and beaten the Gaul Roosters!

They were practically invincible! They even vaguely possessed the domineering aura of their past conquest of 17 territories!

To the point where they could now arrogantly declare, "You want to talk about territory? Huaxia, since ancient times, I'll take two of your rivers first! I'll plant my flag and then we'll talk. Let me tell you! I can even shit on your head while standing on it! A-mer-i-ca!"

And this matter absolutely could not be admitted. As for some people talking about cooperation for mutual benefit?

Do you think that's possible?

If you don't hand over the technology, outsiders will only speculate. Even if they were 100% certain, they wouldn't have concrete evidence!

But if you hand it over, even if you claim to have handed over everything, as long as you don't reveal its fundamental source, these sons of bitches will still think you've hidden most of it.

And they'll use this as an excuse to come in and investigate!

So this thing absolutely cannot be acknowledged!

Furthermore, to prevent them from being pushed to the brink, we must fully understand and begin applying the technology within the shortest possible time.

But fortunately, Huaxia's complete industrial chain played a crucial role. With the Astartes assisting with command and guidance, the progress was astonishing!

Because of the anti-gravity technology, and Huaxia's initial mastery and application, they have now begun to gradually attempt to build spacecraft!

And in recent months, they've been frequently launching rockets. Although the rockets still look the same, the application of anti-gravity technology has allowed them to carry almost limitless cargo and materials.

Huaxia's Tiangong space station changes almost daily.

If it weren't for the bickering on the surface and the threat of monsters, the matters concerning Tiangong would have been discovered long ago.

Most of the Astartes were sitting in a specially approved training warehouse, watching the replay on a giant LCD screen of the coastline outside the Shattered Dome Base in Xiangcheng.

Tail Rat and Turtleback Tortoise had both landed.

Crimson Typhoon, Eureka Striker, and Cherno Alpha, though heavily damaged, had already formed their battle lines.

They were just waiting for the two monsters to enter their ambush zone!

Due to the impact of the two monsters landing in Edo, the United Nations members had to immediately reallocate funds to PP DC to guard against monster attacks.

But looking at the movements of these two monsters now, it seems their attack direction has changed somewhat.
