Ren arrived quickly. The next day, he brought his team to Hong Kong.
At the Dome Base, Li Wei met Ren, who wore a traditional Chinese jacket and had a kindly air about him.
"Ren."
Li Wei greeted him with respect.
"Li Wei."
Ren smiled warmly.
They had spent the past day examining the technology Li Wei had sent over.
The Brain-Computer Interface and various cybernetic implants had stunned their scientific team.
One scientist declared, "This technology is at least fifty years ahead of what China has now."
Possibly even further ahead.
After all, every country in this world had focused its research on a narrow range of fields.
The arrival of the Kaiju had threatened humanity's survival, pushing technological development heavily toward Jaegers while progress in other fields slowed.
Of course, judged solely by Jaeger technology, this world was far ahead of its counterpart in a parallel universe.
That only made Ren take Li Wei more seriously.
And the things Li Wei had asked for seemed all the easier to provide.
They were getting technology for free. What was there to argue about?
To Ren, Li Wei, a man who apparently came from another world, was practically an angel.
"Li Wei, what did you think of our technology?"
Ren asked conversationally.
"It's impressive."
Mechs were every man's dream, especially ones this enormous. They were even bigger than Gundams.
So Li Wei liked them too.
"But there's something I don't understand. Are the Kaiju records accurate?"
Li Wei asked.
"Oh?"
Ren asked, "What makes you say that?"
"A Kaiju stands over a hundred meters tall but weighs only two thousand tons?"
Li Wei smiled. "That's like an adult weighing less than twenty-five kilograms. It's ridiculous."
"But it's true."
Ren nodded, though he was puzzled too.
Li Wei took a sip
