Chapter 223
"Forget it, be careful Mr. Ryoma doesn't stab you with a knife. He's just a doting father. Even though his wife has been dead for a long time, he hasn't thought about finding Mei a stepmother... In terms of qualifications, Mr. Ryoma is much more sought after than you."
The Welt were the ones Valkyrie, but compared to all the women in the world, the Valkyrie were insignificant.
If you were to compile a list of the most desirable men to marry in the world, Raiden Ryoma would definitely be in the top three.
If Ryoma had a good physique, he would definitely be more popular Welt.
Women who want to be Mei's mother aren't just women of childbearing age; girls not much older than Ryoma are fascinated by mature and melancholic men like Mei.
"Oh wow, a classic scene..." Freya waved her hand, indicating that she would not talk about it anymore.
The connection between Welt and Tesla was merely a coincidence; more importantly, Welt himself came to terms with it, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to bring the two together.
Hearing Freya's exclamation, Welt and Tesla said nothing more and followed Freya's gaze to the Titan Mech that had not removed its main cannon barrel.
Ryoma grabbed the scorching hot handles with both hands and pulled them out forcefully. The white gloves seemed to sizzle and burn. The staff around him wanted to help, but Ryoma had already forced open the cockpit.
The Commoner Faction Valkyrie was found unconscious in the driver's seat.
Ryoma suddenly jumped into the cockpit and carried the other person out.
"She fainted from the heat... Quickly get her to the medical area. The oxygen supply system of the mask is intact, so it must be a problem with the heat dissipation system. Fortunately, the Valkyrie's physical abilities are stronger than those of ordinary people."
Ryoma handed the girl to the staff member who came up, and then carefully observed the situation in the driver's cab.
The Titan Mech's cockpit is located very close to the Honkai Energy reactor to maximize the Valkyrie's Honkai Energy control capabilities.
However, when this Titan II attacked, its cooling system was affected by the high temperature. According to the test data just now, this Titan Mech had the highest output value.
"Report on the girl's Stigmata Awakening rate, and her Stigmata inclinations—"
Upon hearing Ryoma's order, the Valkyrie beside him immediately took out her terminal to investigate.
The database of Schicksal has now been reorganized with different permission zones: Valkyrie are under the Valkyrie's jurisdiction, and researchers are under the researchers' jurisdiction.
To investigate the Valkyrie's information, one can only ask the Valkyrie with the necessary permissions. Of course, Ryoma, who is in a high position, also has the authority to access the Valkyrie's information. However, he did not bring his terminal with him when he arrived, and his hands were burned, making it unsuitable for him to operate the data terminal.
"Found it, it's a two-star awakening rate, but... it's an electromagnetic type."
"I see. No wonder she had the buff and her output exceeded the limit again. I think this girl has become more skilled at controlling Honkai Energy."
It can only be said that the Type-B Stigmata is also a new thing, with too many unknowns, and the Valkyrie' Honkai Energy control Honkai energy is also changing rapidly.
Today they discover how to quickly convert Honkai Energy into flames, tomorrow they discover how to convert Honkai Energy into ice and snow, and the day after tomorrow they discover how to absorb and release heat energy, using Honkai Energy to absorb heat and cause a rapid drop in temperature, and then using Honkai Energy quickly release the absorbed heat...
Just like Ryoma was working on an electromagnetic railgun a while ago.
After acquiring some advanced technology from the Schicksal and some Honkai crystal embedding techniques from World Serpent, they created this advanced weapon that prevents electrons from becoming particles and waveforms.
"Mr. Ryoma, why don't you go to the treatment area to treat your hands first?"
Perhaps because she was so close to Ryoma, the Valkyrie who was reporting the information to Ryoma blushed and shyly offered Ryoma a suggestion.
"Thank you so much."
Ryoma nodded to the other party.
Then, with his hands behind his back, he hurried back to the platform and apologized to Freya and the others.
"I apologize, Lord Freya, I misjudged the strength of the cooling system inside the Titan Mech."
"Mr. Ryoma, it's not your fault, but you really need to be careful. Also, let the researchers see if they can create a new alloy. Sister Tesla, that should be one of your specialties, right..."
Freya remembered that the Týr Alloy used by the Titan Mech of the Anti-Entropy organization was invented by Tesla.
Týr Alloy is considered a lower-grade substitute for Soul Steel, a metal that cannot be mass-produced.
Compared to Soul Steel, which is limited in quantity and can only be obtained by excavating ruins, Týr Alloy is quite cheap.
However, Týr Alloy can no longer meet current demands.
"Leave it to me, Welt. I'll be working overtime lately."
Tesla nodded, feeling that he should also switch back from being love-struck to being that aloof, invincible, super-talented, handsome, and intelligent genius scientific inventor.
Of course, if Welt needs it, Tesla will still be Welt's 'Sister Tesla'.
"I will wait for you to come back," Welt replied with a smile.
For some reason, Freya felt that the air suddenly became so sweet it was almost cloying.
"Mr. Ryoma, you should go for treatment first, so as not to leave any aftereffects."
"Yes, Your Acting Grand Bishop, I'll go treat her right away. Mei, Dad's leaving now."
"Take care, Dad." Mei, who was clinging to Aurora, nodded, a hint of worry on her face, but her attention was quickly drawn to the New Titan Type 2 New Titan Type 1, which had finished firing its cannon and started moving forward.
Whether it was because of the red paint scheme or not, the ten New Titan Type 1 crossed the several kilometers between the position and Nagoya City at a rapid speed.
If the New Titan Type 2, with its massive main gun caliber, is a long-range sniper cannon, then the New Titan Type 1, with its dozens of small-caliber gun barrels, is a medium-range, wide-area firepower coverage strike type.
Compared to the New Titan Type 2, which focuses more on power, the New Titan Type 1 focuses more on the coverage of firepower.
As flames, frost, lightning, and all sorts of energy attacks poured forth, the building pierced by the New Titan Type 2 was instantly riddled with holes, then collapsed in the blink of an eye.
"This one is better..."
Freya's eyes lit up; the way she was cleaning the ground had a touch of the style she used when she was cleaning the ground with her Armor Piercing Flame Spear.
"It felt like setting off fireworks, but this is even more flashy."
Welt didn't know where to begin his rant, but the ten prototypes of the New Titan Type 1 seemed to have special effects added to them.
262. It's all garbage.
Freya doesn't dislike such flashy things. No... judging from her own fighting style, which is also full of fancy stuff, she quite likes the New Titan Type 1, which is developed with multiple turrets.
I wish I could install more turret carriages on the back of the New Titan Type 1, with each carriage carrying dozens of turrets for fire support. Even if it doesn't have the large caliber and power of the New Titan Type 2, it would still have a larger area of effect for bombardment.
To deal with large numbers of Honkai Beast, ground-clearing attacks like this are the most effective. However, conventional weapons are not very effective against Honkai Beast, as metal projectiles are corroded when they enter areas with high concentrations of Honkai Energy.
Using the main gun of Floating Battleship to bombard the ground is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. The New Titan Type 1 is more suitable as a regular combat vehicle for the Valkyrie, both in terms of performance and applicability.
Freya and Ryoma both want to develop Ground Troops in order to free up the transport capacity of the Floating Battleship.
To be precise, Freya and Ryoma planned to transform several of Schicksal's Giant Floating Battleship into small aerial fortresses so that Schicksal's military forces could be transported to various parts of the world as quickly as possible.
The current function of these air fortresses is to coordinate with the satellites deployed by Otto, but their main function is to coordinate with the satellites to be launched into space by Anti-Entropy organization in the future.
The birth of Herrscher may be a coincidence, but the Herrscher's Honkai power needs a vessel.
Using the aerial fortress as a focal point to connect to the surrounding satellite network for global surveillance, Freya and Ryoma were taking preventative measures.
However, concentrating resources on building an aerial fortress, and Freya and Ryoma's plan to assemble the Schicksal Headquarters into a space fortress and launch it into geostationary orbit, all require a large amount of funding. Therefore, for Schicksal's military forces, the more affordable Neo-Titan will inevitably be adopted.
Once the new Titans can be mass-produced, their individual cost will be less than one-thousandth of that of a Floating Battleship.
The better a new Titan performs, the more expensive it becomes to build. However, once the number of new Titans exceeds a thousand, they become much cheaper than Floating Battleship.
At this time, the ten red test machines had already spread out in the city, and each of the New Titan Type 1 looked very impressive while washing the ground.
The attack can be carried out by energy converted from Honkai Energy, such as ice and snow, flames, or lightning, and the range of the attack ranges from twenty meters in front of the test machine to hundreds of meters at the farthest point, all within the firepower coverage of the New Titan Type 1.
Dozens of Rush-class Honkai Beast, relying on their ability to fly, attempted to attack the New Titan Type 1 from the air, only to be targeted by the raised turrets and the small missile launchers that opened on both sides of the Titan's arms.
The Honkai Beast, blasted apart by flames, ice, and lightning, looked like filthy fireworks.
"One of them has stopped working..."
Freya discovered, through footage captured by the drone, that an experimental aircraft was stationary. Soon after, the combat command center in the safe zone received a distress signal.
"If the blue Titan Type 2 has too high an output, then the red Titan Type 1 has too much output... The energy supplied by the second-generation Honkai Energy reactor is not enough to support the new Titan in a battle that lasts for 30 minutes. In fact, the Type-B Valkyrie's Stigmata tend to enhance energy attacks, which will lead to a faster energy consumption rate."
Welt analyzed from the side.
Now that Ryoma has gone for treatment, he naturally needs to give the report to Freya for analysis.
However, he is personally very interested in the blue Titan Type 2. If he could confine such a Titan during the Second Eruption War, it's possible that... even if Otto appeared disguised as Clown Alpha, he would be knocked back by dozens of 'Electronic Honkai' attacks.
The main cannon of the Titan Type 2 is almost as powerful as the Judgment of Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment hand cannon mode when its limits are unlocked. Even if the Second Herrscher were to enter its complete form, it would be impossible for her to ignore such an attack...
Well, considering the characteristics of the Second Herrscher, the possibility of ignoring it is still very high.
If such advanced technology and scientific research had existed back then, the Second Eruption War wouldn't have dragged on for so long, and there wouldn't have been a fully-fledged five-core Second Herrscher.
Without such Second Herrscher, the Second Herrscher would not have launched a counterattack on Earth from the Moon, and the subsequent famine would not have claimed the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
Welt shook his head, no longer dwelling on past memories.
Ultimately, his inability to do anything at that time stemmed from his own lack of ability.
"The Titan 2 has a longer attack range, while the Titan 1 has too high an attack frequency. I personally prefer the Titan 2."
Welt was already planning to use a test machine to analyze and copy it.
Freya raised an eyebrow slightly and said.
"Wait, Mr. Welt, Type 1 and Type 2 each have their advantages. In fact, if we're talking about attack range, Type 2 is inferior to the Floating Battleship. The 320mm caliber of the main gun can only hit a limited number of enemies. It would be better to entrust the principle of this attack to the Type-B Valkyrie of the electromagnetic Stigmata."
"Type 2 isn't targeting weaklings. There are plenty of ways to clear out the enemy. Even if it's just regular Ground Troops from various countries, increasing firepower can still hurt the Honkai Beast. Just buy tanks and embed Honkai crystal in them, and that'll be enough to deal with some Honkai battlefields."
Welt expressed his preference for large calibers.
If a Judgment-class Honkai Beast were to appear, the Cyber Honkai attack of the Titan 2 would be more effective than the ground-washing attack of the Titan 1.
Freya stated that a whitewashing attack is the best approach.
There's definitely no need to send a new Titan to fight the Judgment-class Honkai Beast; it will be her and Welt who will take action, or perhaps a Giant Floating Battleship.
While Freya and Welt were discussing the matter, Tesla chose to remain silent...
She pondered that both Type 1 and Type 2 Neo Titans were garbage—what else could a mech be if it couldn't allow the pilot to unleash its full power but garbage?
This cleanup operation was primarily a practical test of the two new Titans.
Currently, due to its low output ceiling, the new Titan is unable to unleash the full power of Type-B Valkyrie.
Even though the battle lasted less than thirty minutes, Tesla felt that all the new Titan prototypes should be recycled.
Of course, for Freya and Ryoma, as long as the power is sufficient, the area of effect is sufficient, and the price is low enough, they can be used for a period of time.
At worst, we can wait until Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have improved their scientific and technological capabilities before building a new type of Titan Mech.
Even though Freya has made a lot of cutting-edge technology available, it will take a long time to master those scientific research techniques.
Tesla viewed inventions differently, believing that the new Titan should be as perfect as possible.
Freya and Ryoma felt that this level of new Titan already had practical value, and that the cost could even be reduced further.
Eliminate unnecessary features... For example, the robot transformation function must be retained, as it is the romance of humanoid robots!
Freya and Ryoma both agreed that if the transformation function, which accounted for half of the cost, were removed, the new Titan Mech would completely lose its value.
Welt's eye twitched; he couldn't agree with Freya's claim that flashy whitewashing and attacks were the way to go.
Freya also felt that Welt was sometimes too rigid in his thinking; it's not like everything is better just because the caliber is larger.
A single main cannon shot from the Titan II drained one-third of the energy supplied by the power reactor. In addition, the high temperatures generated during the attack could easily cause electronic equipment to malfunction, and the main cannon barrel had to be replaced, otherwise a second attack would not be possible.
Welt also understood the shortcomings of Titan Type 2, but this did not conflict with the Herrscher of Reason's abilities. The longer the Herrscher of Herrscher of Reason materialized an object, the more time was required and the more detailed the understanding of the object needed to be.
Just like when he wants to analyze a cup, he touches the cup and weighs it twice.
Then the cup he materializes will have the same appearance and the same weight, and it will last for a long time.
If Welt knew the cup's material, the process of its manufacture, and the principles behind its formation, then his materialized cup could have existed for a much longer time.
However, if he only sees the cup without touching it or weighing it, the cup he conjures may not last long.
Welt felt that materializing Titan Type 2, firing one shot, and then leaving it unattended would consume less Herrscher power.
Freya, who also Herrscher of Reason and analyzes the power of replication, offered a contrasting opinion. She felt that after such an incomplete replication, let alone firing a single shot, the mecha might explode before it could even fire, essentially blowing itself up.
It's important to understand that the Herrscher of Reason's ability to analyze and copy data has its limits.
Ultimately, the First Herrscher Welt Young, is not the true First Herrscher, but rather the second-generation First Herrscher.
Furthermore, he was not particularly compatible with the core of the Herrscher of Reason, and he experienced severe rejection when he first inherited the Herrscher of Reason Core.
Most importantly, he is not a woman.
In this Honkai world, women are always favored by the Honkai.
Women are more adaptable to Honkai Energy than men; most women can become Valkyrie, while only one in ten thousand men can.
There are more girls than boys among the survivors of the Honkai event. The girls also develop Honkai Antibody, while the boys' bodies are damaged and messed up due to the Honkai Energy.
