Chapter 369: Kaiju's Counterattack

This period of time can be said to be a period of stable development for Link. He took control of the power of PPDC step by step to serve his own research and development.

At the same time, Christina led many Terminators to establish or directly replace many consortiums and forces around the world to provide support for PPDC. At the same time, she also planned to establish several bases completely controlled by Link in the Americas around the world.

On September 2, 2014, the Kaiju "Cutter" attacked Sydney, Australia. This time, the first mecha hunter of mankind, the Noisy Boy Yukon, which was completed a month ago, attacked and killed the Kaiju perfectly.

After the success of the Noisy Boy this time, the Mecha Hunter Project officially announced the success of the test, and all related technologies began to be shared with major countries in the world. These countries also started their own research on mecha hunters and built their own mecha production lines.

At the end of the same year, the Hunter Academy for training mecha hunter drivers was established in the Hunter Base on Kodiak Island. The first generation of mecha hunter drivers, Steck and Luca, who were successfully selected, became instructors of the Hunter Academy and continued to fight against the invading Kaiju.

In March 2015, the Japanese-built mecha hunter ‘Invisible Ronin’ was completed in a factory in Lima, the capital of Peru.

On April 15, the first mecha ‘Melancholy Romeo’ was completed in the United States.

On April 22, the first mecha ‘Horizon Warrior’ was completed in China.

As the mechas of various countries were put into use, the noisy boy Yukon, which was built earlier and had many defects, was retired. However, this also indicated that the war between giant mechas and Kaiju beasts officially began!

With Link’s efforts, humans reduced the losses caused by Kaiju beast attacks and received a lot of support in research and development. Therefore, compared with the time in the plot, the official service of the mecha hunter was advanced by more than half a year.

PPDC still established eight bases around the world. These bases are called Shattertop Bases, which are the places where mecha hunters are maintained and stationed. They are in Hong Kong, Lima, Anchorage, Tokyo, Vladivostok, Sydney, Panama, and Los Angeles.

In the following period, until the end of 2017, the fourth generation of mechas were successfully put into use, and the invading Kaiju were destroyed with overwhelming force. Human power also reached its peak, and people's concerns about Kaiju gradually dissipated.

However, at the same time, the support of various countries for PPDC began to weaken. The first reason is that PPDC is too expensive. The operation of various bases, the construction and maintenance of mechas, etc. are all astronomical figures, and various research and development funds are not few.

Nowadays, every time Kaiju appears, it is easily defeated. Countries believe that with the current strength of mechas, they can completely fight against Kaiju, so they are unwilling to spend more funds.

Another point is that each country has its own little tricks. They have complete relevant production lines. If necessary, they can start producing mecha hunters by themselves and are completely under their control.

There are even some professors who claim that the invasion of Kaiju is normal and humans should get used to it. Kaiju does not have the ability to destroy the world. These are all lies compiled by PPDC personnel to defraud more funds!

This is the bad nature of human beings. In times of adversity, they will burst out with powerful forces, but when everything goes well, they will tear down their own foundations.

In the original plot, in November 2019, after the fifth-generation mecha hunter Eureka Raider was completed in Australia, no new mecha hunters were produced.

Even when the Kaiju launched a massive counterattack in 2020 and the mecha hunters were constantly destroyed, no new mecha hunters were produced!

However, Link had expected this a long time ago. Under the infiltration of his terminators, the policy support of various countries for PPDC has not weakened, but the financial support that can be provided has been reduced a lot due to financial problems.

In terms of funds, it can also be supplemented by various large enterprises controlled by Christina. To the same extent, Link spent twice as much time in the main world as in this world.

To be honest, in more than four years, some of the companies under the terminator have been able to reach the level of the world's top cross-border companies, including the influence of Kaiju.

As soon as the Kaiju appears, it will release toxins all the time. In addition, the current tactics of the mecha hunters are to block the Kaiju ten kilometers away from the coastline for fighting, so the blood that flows out during the battle is more or less merged into the sea.

So it is not just the land where the Kaiju died, but also the ocean that has been polluted, and this pollution has even become increasingly serious.

Two years after the Kaiju appeared, scientists have found that long-term consumption of marine fish will accumulate a large amount of Kaiju toxins in the body, eventually leading to death.

Even more deadly is that these toxins have begun to enter the global ecological cycle with climate change and rainfall.

All this has an all-round impact on the world, especially as the degree of pollution deepens. Now the global fishery has been devastated, and companies engaged in marine fish fishing have gone bankrupt and a large number of people have lost their jobs.

Even more serious is that it has caused famine in coastal countries and regions that feed on marine fish. Although the amount of Kaiju toxins that enter the inland through rainfall is not much at present, this part of the toxins is very stubborn and will enter the food with the ecological cycle.

Humans cannot live without food, so these toxins continue to be ingested by humans. After research, Link found out that if ordinary people eat this kind of food for a long time, the accumulation will cause various diseases and even death, just like heavy metal poisoning.

All this has led to global economic turmoil, but it is this economic fluctuation that has enabled many companies to develop, many of which were created by the Terminators arranged by Link.

For example, just half a year ago, Peggy successfully developed a drug that neutralizes the toxins of the chrysanthemums in organisms, which made a pharmaceutical company under Christina's name go from second-rate to the world's top, making a lot of money.

After the launch of this drug, it has become a necessity for everyone in the world. Even if it is divided into grades, the price of the "general type" provided to ordinary people is fair, and only the special customized ones are expensive, it still cannot stop the huge profits.

Of course, in reality, no matter what model, the effect is not much different. As long as it is used on time, the toxins in the body can be kept within a safe range.

At the same time, Link's own super artificial intelligence technology and the biotechnology obtained from Kaiju have also developed special medicines for many diseases, each of which can bring huge profits.

It is with these profits that the funding gap of PPDC can be supplemented and the growing funding needs of the six secret bases established by Link around the world can be met.

As time enters 2018, the proposal of the anti-monster wall that originally appeared in the plot still appeared from some people's mouths and was circulated within a certain range.

However, with Link's current control, this proposal did not receive any support in the end. Some representatives of the interest groups behind it encountered various problems in just a few months, either accidentally died or got into special troubles.

Therefore, the proposal of the anti-monster wall appeared for more than a month, and it was stillborn before it had time to spread widely and gain support.

With this incident as a sign, Link knew that the counterattack of Kaiju would soon be launched. It was from this time that the human side in the plot began to fall into a dilemma step by step.
