Chapter 1217: Chapter 1106: The ch that Massacres in All Directions!_1 Chapter 1217: Chapter 1106: The ch that Massacres in All Directions!_1 Monday was bound to be a busy day.
First, Lincoln proceeded to present the trophy to William.
During the award ceremony, William thoroughly expressed his gratitude to his wife.
He talked about how his wife understood and supported him, and how she encouraged him to beco an anchor.
Listening to all of this made Lincoln cringe.
At the end of the award ceremony, William stealthily asked Lincoln, “Boss Lin, what exactly is the reward for the Tree of Life challenge in Pandora?”
Yesterday, he managed to advance the progress to [2/9].
When he planned to continue after taking a break, the system inford him that he had reached [the maximum limit for the day].
...
That’s when he realized: He actually had to work on this thing for a whole nine days!!
Absolutely unreasonable.
Now that Lincoln was standing right in front of him, William couldn’t help but ask.
Lincoln was caught a bit off guard by the question: “Asking the designer himself for spoilers, isn’t that a bit too much?”
“Really?”
“Definitely!”
“Alright, never mind then.”
“Keep going, you won’t be disappointed.” Lincoln gave William a warm pat on the shoulder, encouraging the player to continue striving.
Looking at the 50-pound pure gold trophy, William subconsciously nodded.
—It seems he really won’t be disappointed!
After the ceremony, Lincoln left the scene and drove back to Cloud Dream.
The review for the [Cradle Project] was initially completed, and today was the last day to tie up loose ends.
Most of the developnt team was either in intense etings or already working on the demo.
During this process, Cloud Dream would provide so free technical support.
Lincoln planned to stay put at the company, in case any tricky issues cropped up that the employees couldn’t solve.
At the sa ti, he planned to conduct a phase check on “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” to see if they had made anything interesting.
However, on his way, he suddenly received a call from Henry.
“Sothing serious happened.” Henry’s voice was sowhat grave.
“Serious?” Lincoln was puzzled, “Was the [Digital Life] plan vetoed?”
“No,” Henry shook his head, “That’s still being discussed, but there shouldn’t be any issues.
Just that it’s a considerable subject and there are many concerns, so more research and discussion are needed.”
“Then, what happened?” Lincoln was confused.
Henry pondered how to phrase it, but after thinking it over, there didn’t seem to be a more tactful way, so he bluntly said: “Did you know, 30 minutes ago, a ch you guys created went on a rampage in Africa??”
“Huh???” Lincoln was completely dumbstruck, “Rampage?
Is that so sort of adjective?”
“No, it’s exactly as it sounds.” Henry’s voice carried an unusual solemnity.
“Thirty minutes ago, there was a rebellion in Kinshasa.
During the intense fighting between the governnt forces and rebels, a ch suddenly appeared on the battlefield and instantly crushed the rebels.”
“???” Lincoln was genuinely clueless this ti, but he imdiately distanced himself from the incident, “The rch I sell are ga peripherals, model toys, you can’t slander like this!”
“This is not the ti for joking.” Henry shook his head, reassuring Lincoln, “Don’t worry, I’m on your side…
Or rather, Daxia stands with you!”
“I’m sending you a video, have a look.”
The phone in his hand buzzed slightly.
Before Lincoln could react, Mavis had already played the video in front of him.
The footage was a bit shaky, but it didn’t detract from its thrilling content—
Two groups of soldiers were stuck in a standoff, exchanging gunfire across a street, occasionally tossing out a hand grenade.
Then, the rhythmic sound of heavy impacts echoed from outside of the fra.
Suddenly, a six-ter tall ch charged into the fra carrying an imnse ammunition box; a shield in one hand, a machine gun in the other, the ch barreled forward while unleashing a rain of bullets on the enemy.
The off-road vehicle the enemy was using for cover was instantly crushed!
Even the tougher armored vehicles were tossed aside with a kick from the ch!
It even demonstrated a brutal move of lifting an off-road vehicle and throwing it.
But what surprised Lincoln the most, was that these people had actually manufactured a ridiculously large and sturdy shield for the ch!
At the sa ti, he also identified the ch—
It was indeed a product of [Titan Manufacturing].
The 20-ter-high giant ch, indeed not finished yet, but the smaller dium chs had efficiently been delivered in 5 units.
The one in the video was the third one.
A height of 6 ters was already pushing the definition of “dium”.
From Lincoln’s recollection, this thingamajig was sold to an African student studying in Daxia.
It wasn’t uncommon for African students to study in Daxia.
Among them were future officials and leaders of various African countries, which wasn’t surprising either.
But for them to remodel the ch into a weapon of war, that was a bit insane…
“Are you done watching?” Henry’s voice ca again.
“Yes, I am.” Lincoln nodded.
“What’s your take on this?” Henry asked again.
Lincoln thought for a mont, “Will the sale of chs be banned?”
Hearing Lincoln not fussing about his creation turning into a killing machine, Henry imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Not necessarily.
If this matter gets hyped up, you can have [Titan Manufacturing] issue a statent, opposing the weaponization of chs, make a clear stance, and impose so sanctions as a matter of formality.
If not, we can also apply for a military-industrial license for [Titan Manufacturing].”
“There has to be sanctions!
He modified it himself, he shouldn’t even think about any warranties!”
DIY chs are allowed, but turning them into weapons isn’t, [Titan Manufacturing] will surely impose sanctions.
But Lincoln refused the license: “No need for a license, after all, I just made it for fun, I have no plan to develop weapons.”
He crafted various things to satisfy his personal curiosity, and had no intention of entering the military-industrial field.
“Is that so?
Are you willing to sell your ch technology?” Henry seed quite eager.
The potential of giant chs isn’t clear yet, but once they are miniaturized, their potential is limitless!
There’s even real combat data now.
In urban environnts, a five-to-six ter tall ch has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary infantry.
Kill power, defense, mobility, auxiliary technology…
It dominates all aspects!
It can even climb buildings!
The potential is limitless, it’s absolutely limitless!
“You can just go to my lab and get it.
Mavis will get it for you.
As for the money…
just give whatever you think is right, but if you guys make so good stuff, rember to show .”
Lincoln is not interested in money now.
After all, it’s just a series of numbers that keeps getting longer.
And also, with the ch, his enthusiasm has almost run out after making every type, might as well just pass it all on to Henry and his people to research.
“No problem!” Henry readily agreed and seed quite excited.
Apparently, this guy has always retained a soldier’s fanatical affection for stronger and more fierce firepower.
…
After hanging up the phone, Lincoln re-watched the video a few more tis, even wanting to search for more perspectives.
Even though many more exciting scenes and chs of similar size appeared in “Pacific Rim” nowadays.
But because this battle took place in reality, the aning beca completely different, adding an elent of thrill.
It wasn’t until he logged into the virtual office that Lincoln took his attention away.
After logging into the virtual office, before he had ti to check the progress of “Cyber Chang’an 2077”, Randall and Fred surprised him with a piece of news—
“You guys want to take part in [Cradle Project] too?!”
