The siblings repeatedly warned themselves that from the grand spectacle of today's Future Meeting, they knew that the top experts of human civilization had definitely obtained quite a number of true legacies from the primordial ruins. Therefore, no matter how strange or strange they saw later, there was no need to be too surprised.
However, when they stepped into the main hall and saw the iron giant more than two hundred meters tall with their own eyes, and when they even walked between the legs of the giant, they were still dumbfounded and lost for words for a long time.
"That — that — that's impossible!"
Meng Xiaolang was in a daze. "An iron giant more than two hundred meters tall? Is this a joke? Is it made of plastic or foam?"
"This is unbelievable. This is an epoch-making breakthrough in materials science and engineering!"
Disbelief beamed out of Meng Lichuan's eyes, too. She mumbled, "Is — Is this a brand-new Colossus? A Colossus that has been enlarged ten times! "
The super giant in front of them was both like a magnificent iron devil and like a skyscraper that had suddenly come to life. Although the shell of the Colossus had not been polished or painted yet, revealing the roughness and clumsiness of iron, the appearance that was full of primitive beauty made it look even stronger and more violent.
Meng Xiaolang and Meng Lichuan were not three-year-olds. Naturally, they knew that the bigger the Crystal Suit or the Colossus, the better.
Just like the body of flesh and blood had the most suitable growth range, a giant ten to twenty meters tall was certainly not as agile as an ordinary person around two meters tall. The Crystal Suit and the Colossus were limited by the materials, the structural strength, and the energy consumption, as well as the size.
Generally speaking, a Crystal Suit three to five meters tall and a Colossus twenty to thirty meters tall was the limit. Increasing the height and the size would only multiply the weight and increase the unnecessary energy consumption, which would be a heavy burden on the hydraulic joints and the transmission structure of the Colossus. As a result, the comprehensive combat performance of the Colossus would plummet.
Therefore, many well-trained soldiers and fighters scoffed at the concept of "super-enormous human-shaped machines", thinking that it was a child's fantasy.
However, as the study of human biology and spirit energy deepened, the modern people gradually discovered the importance of the vitality magnetic field. Only huge human-shaped machines could perfectly resonate with a human's vitality magnetic field and allow the user's combat ability to increase by a hundred times.
Therefore, to overcome the tricky problems in material science and engineering, and to build super-large human-shaped machines on a larger and larger scale while limiting the energy consumption and ensuring the structural strength and mobility, it became the lifelong research project of all the mechanics, designers, and magical equipment specialists.
Before, the Colossi of the largest scale were often limited to a scale of thirty to fifty meters.
Although there were individual magical equipment of a larger scale, such magical equipment was often shaped into a round sphere as a battle fortress for individual soldiers. Although their remote firepower and ammunition capacity were as good as those of the Colossi, they could not perfectly resonate with the vitality field of the user. In terms of instantaneous outburst and endurance, they could not compare to the Colossi at all.
But today, what appeared in front of Meng Xiaolang and Meng Lichuan's eyes was a Colossus two hundred meters tall.
Whether the iron god was an experimental model that was still being tested or an exhibition that only looked impressive, it suggested that the civilization of mankind had made breakthroughs in the fields of materials science, structure science, dynamics, and other fields that had overturned the past ten thousand years.
At the very least, none of the modern superalloys that the siblings were familiar with was hard enough to support such an iron god to stand on the ground as if nobody was around.
New technologies, new materials, and new transmission and support structures — everything represented new war machines and combat modes. The siblings seemed to have seen a brand-new future rising before their eyes.
"Look over there! Look over there!"
Meng Lichuan changed her image as a calm, cold beauty in the team and was drooling at the super Colossus. Meng Xiaolang was pulling her sleeve hard.
She turned around and looked at where her brother was pointing, only to discover that hundreds of thousands of tiny drones known as "bees" had condensed into a colorful cloud in midair. The cloud blossomed slowly, and the tiny drones formed the young faces of a boy and a girl, who grinned at everybody in the hall.
"Look over here! Look over here!"
Meng Xiaolang exclaimed, "What — what — what is that?"
Because they had taken the VIP channel, it was very convenient for them to reach the central area of the hall. Not far away on Meng Xiaolang's left, a few Pangu, who were tall, brown, and whose skin was full of wrinkles and cooling holes, as well as the Nuwa Clan, who were covered in glamorous scales, were standing.
It was the first time that Meng Xiaolang had seen a living Pangu.
It must be noted that, according to the military education of the Union Army, including the legend of "Vulture Li Yao", the "Pangu" was not a friendly friend.
Although the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan were all there in fancy clothes, and quite a few big shots who were very familiar to the people of the Federation were standing next to them, and they were all wearing a "smile" on their faces, Meng Xiaolang still felt that it was rather weird. It was like a lion was talking and laughing with a sheep, or a hungry wolf was dancing with a rabbit.
"It seems that we are faced with a lot of trouble this time!"
Observing the "living" Pangu and the Nuwa Clan curiously, Meng Lichuan suddenly remarked without thinking.
"Huh?"
Meng Xiaolang was slightly dazed. "Sister, what are you talking about?"
"It must be noted that the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League, the three greatest forces of mankind, shook hands and made peace three years ago."
Meng Lichuan explained, "Had it not been for the new trouble, we wouldn't have had to invest tremendous resources in the development of brand-new military technology and facilities in such a peaceful situation. We wouldn't have been able to fully accept the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan so conveniently. Those primeval species that are proud and think that they are hundreds of thousands of years ahead of us wouldn't have bowed to us so easily and offered all their technology and wisdom willingly.
"Therefore, there must be a certain threat, a catastrophe a hundred times more dreadful than the Pangu Clan, that forced all the intelligent species in the universe to unite and break all the rules to grasp the greatest strength as soon as possible, even at the cost of everything.
"I believe that the meeting of the future is just a beginning. Three years of rest will be enough to heal the wounds caused by the war among the Federation, the Imperium, and the Holy League. From today on, the civilization of mankind will start preparing for war as a whole again, right?"
"Sister …"
Meng Xiaolang was awed by the unprecedented solemnity on Meng Lichuan's face.
He knew that his sister, as an ace player of the 'Moon Shadow Squad' and the most excellent strategist, would not be an alarmist.
Just as he didn't know what to say, a red light suddenly flashed in the clouds above his head, and a gigantic 3D illusion of a thousand meters long appeared. It was the face of a mature woman with short fiery red hair.
"It's — it's our Lady Speaker!"
Meng Xiaolang blinked and observed for a long time before he recognized her.
In the past, Ding Ling Dong had been marked by burning red hair. Whenever her red hair that looked like nine dragons danced crazily in the sea of stars, it was like a flapping flag that always brought the courage to attack, attack, and attack again for the entire Union Army.
Meng Xiaolang could not forget to this day that three years ago, it was exactly under the leadership of such burning red hair that he and his teammates charged at the iron tides of the Imperium of True Human Beings with the remnants of the expedition army of the Federation and crushed the enemy brutally.
The remnants of the warships in space had long cooled down.
But the boiling blood of the veterans who survived hundreds of battles never died down.
Although Ding Ling Dong had long resigned, many soldiers of the Union Army who had participated in the battle still addressed her as' our Speaker 'naturally.
However, since three years ago, Ding Ling Dong had vanished from the public with the excuse that she was training in seclusion. She never showed up in the celebrations even on such important days as National Day and the official establishment of the Kunlun Fleet.
If Meng Xiaolang remembered correctly, it was the first time that Ding Ling Dong had shown up in public in the past three years.
As a top expert whose Cultivation had reached the peak of her prime years, and she was in the prime of her life, three years should not have left any traces on her body.
However, Meng Xiaolang clearly sensed that 'our Speaker' was completely different from three years ago.
Not only did her fiery red hair flutter in the absence of wind, but it had turned into beautiful short hair that was not longer than an inch. Her wheat-colored skin also faintly exuded a honey-like luster, and there seemed to be a red glow that was as hot as magma surging under her skin. She gave people a feeling that her essence was restrained and unfathomable.
Her eyes, which seemed to contain the world of mortals, seemed to have been polished for thousands of years. They were completely different from the 'Blazing Tyrannosaur' in the past.
Are you kidding me? Why do I feel that Speaker Ding has made a major breakthrough and is ten times stronger than before?
Meng Xiaolang shook his head hard and laughed at himself for being oversensitive. That's impossible. Speaker Ding was already a marvelous woman who could destroy the world three years ago. Ten times stronger after only three years? How is it possible?
"Dear compatriots of the Xing Yao Federation, as well as the honorable guests from the Imperium, the Holy League, and the primeval land, I believe that you are all very curious about the purpose of this' Future Meeting 'and can't wait to reveal the truth of what happened three years ago."
In the clouds, Ding Ling Dong declared resolutely, one word after another, "Three years ago, deep inside the primeval relic that had a history of billions of years, Li Yao, a hero of the Special Federation, burnt his life and detonated his soul to prevent the critical information of the Pangu Universe from being transmitted to the Cosmic Ocean, which bought us precious time to catch our breath and develop.
"But the threat has not been resolved yet. The enemy is still approaching. Li Yao has done his best. The next mission will depend on all the survivors.
"Li Yao deeply believed in the strength of his compatriots and the entire civilization of mankind. Therefore, the survivors like us are willing to believe that you can shoulder the sacred and heavy mission. In this' Future Meeting ', we will disclose all the information that we have learned in the past three years to all mankind as much as possible. We also hope that every member of the civilization of mankind, including all the carbon-based intelligent lives who cherish free will, and our closest comrades, can unleash every inch of their light and heat like Li Yao and fight to the end side by side!
