Chapter 949: Chapter 889: The Mech of Americans Themselves!_1 Chapter 949: Chapter 889: The Mech of Americans Themselves!_1 The initial idea for Lincoln’s video wasn’t about using mechanical arms for boxing.
“Five hands, five guns, one person producing a cover fire” was the first thing he wanted to do after constructing the mechanical arm.
The visual effect, just imagining it, was mind-blowing.
However, before acting on it, he realized that Cloud Dream was now a multinational company with influence radiating worldwide, not just in Daxia.
If he made such a video, this equipment would undoubtedly be categorized as “military equipment” by many countries.
Even if Lincoln added a patch to forcibly lock its ability to use firearms, it would be challenging to change everyone’s first impression, so he regretfully had to give up this ridiculously cool idea.
During the actual filming, when Lincoln finished his boxing and withdrew his hands, he tried to have the mechanical arm hidden under his rib suddenly pull out a toy gun and shoot it at the camera to give the players a surprise.
Unfortunately, this version never saw the light of day.
If it had, the level of excitement among these fanatical mechanical modification enthusiasts wouldn’t just stop at what’s shown in front of them; they’d probably be screaming and driving straight to Cloud Dream and Journey Prosthetics.
Apart from these fanatics, ordinary netizens are much more rational, but they’re still extremely interested.
They keep asking questions in the comment section of the video:
“Is this a new product?
If so, when will it be available?”
“How much does it cost?

What are its capabilities?
How long does the battery last?
Is it easy to put on and take off?”
“Are there any other styles?
I want a symmetrical one!
Get me six mechanical arms.
I could even cosplay as a being with six arms.”
…
A myriad of questions were asked.
This is not only because Lincoln irresponsibly just threw a video out without saying anything else, but also because there indeed has been a long-lasting demand for mechanical arms.
The “Heavenly Craft” series from Journey Prosthetics has released a variety of brain-controlled mechanical arms.
While they may all look flashy, as if they’re trying to “sell skins”, each product is of high quality.
The reviews from customers are uniformly positive.
Many people have openly stated online, “This thing works better than my own healthy arm.”
This is not entirely hyperbole.
For precise operations, an untrained person’s healthy hand might not perform better than a mechanical hand.
For those repetitive, strenuous jobs that will cause severe physical strain, the demand is equally strong.
So, there are many people who want a mechanical arm to help them complete their work; woodworkers, graphic designers, curriculum planners, writers…
too many people want a handy mechanical arm.
Now that Lincoln has posted this video, their first reaction is: Lincoln has finally heard their voices and has taken a step forward to meet their needs.
And he’s starting with three arms!
Three times satisfying their demands!
——Actually, even more than three times since Lincoln also created a more obsessive-compulsive disorder-friendly version known as the “Four Mechanical Arms·Symmetry Edition”.
If adding more arms didn’t raise the cost and significantly decrease battery life, he’d even want to produce an “Eight-Armed Yama”.
Netizens were extremely enthusiastic and asked countless questions, but after the video was posted, Lincoln disappeared and didn’t answer any of them.
With no other choice, they rushed to the accounts of “Journey Prosthetics” and “Kyle” to ask their questions.
But Kyle was also confused.
He didn’t get the news earlier than the netizens, and Lincoln didn’t give him any production plans for the new product.
——Let alone a production plan, Lincoln hadn’t even assigned him a development task.
He was in a dilemma himself — when did the boss make this thing?
The answer is: while in the sky.
In the space cabin, his task was severely unsaturated.
During his leisure time, he completed the blueprints with Mavis’ help.
Today in the lab, he was only doing the actual manufacturing part, which is why the efficiency was so high.
With the technical foundation of the “Heavenly Craft” series, this wasn’t difficult.
After posting the video, neither Henry nor Lorin called him, which confirmed something for Lincoln: Daxia’s scientific researchers must have already come up with something similar.

They might even have integrated it with other technologies, allowing each mechanical arm to operate independently like Sharpshooter — they just haven’t shown it to the public yet.
This further proves that this technology is “only of medium difficulty”.
Of course, only he would think so.
For those who are not privy to the details, it’s an entirely different matter.

America, [Lincoln Countermeasure Group] Washington Office.
—Yes, after reporting the last incident to the president, they secured a Washington office.
Despite some team members’ reluctance, they all must travel here before the president makes a firm decision to [approve] or [reject] “development of America’s own mechs”, ensuring important intelligence and information can reach the president immediately.
After watching Lincoln’s latest video, they immediately gave it serious attention:
“This design…
isn’t it the mech arm from the blueprints?!”
“This thing…
its destructive power might be astonishing…”
“He can’t possibly be planning to sell such dangerous items to the public, can he?”
In their eyes, this is unequivocally a “weapon”!
If Lincoln can punch in all directions with such agility, others could potentially shoot in all directions!
The former military old team leader, Barnes, is even more horrified.
He seems to have seen soldiers on future battlefields, each with several arms, unleashing a hail of bullets at them.
Contrary to his worries about the future, Daniel is excited.
Because from this video, he has obtained a crucial piece of information – proof of the mech development process!
Even though everyone knows and acknowledges that Lincoln is a genius, convincing the President and others that a complex behemoth like a mech just sprung up without any research and development stage is a bit difficult.
But now, looking at this “mech arm” miniaturized by Lincoln, Daniel is certain:
This must be one of the peripheral results he obtained in the mech study process!
This achievement will serve as an important bargaining chip to persuade the President and others who hold opposing views: Lincoln didn’t just concoct the mech out of nowhere, he also had a research and development process.
And it’s very likely that he achieved more than one important technological result during the research process!
Since the achievement of the mechanical arm technology is real, then the under-construction mech, of course, is also real!
“I must report to the President immediately!”
With this thought, Daniel hurriedly left the office.
…
…
One hour later, inside the president’s office, the American president finally overruled the opposition – mainly from Technology and Financial Officers – and forcefully implemented the self-study mech program!
The first step of this program is: substantial financial appropriations!
As the mech is a rather ground warfare tool, the one to receive this special funding is, of course, the American Army Department.
Upon confirmation that the Army Department would receive these funds, the vehement opposition vanished in an instant.
The Army Department boss forcefully declared: “This plan must be implemented!
America needs its own mechs!”
“This is a race!
And we absolutely cannot fall behind!”
*
After the meeting, the American President enthusiastically announced on Bluebird:
[Citizens of America, get ready to greet your own mechs!]
Not only that, he also passionately described the looks of this “self-study mech” to the citizens:
[V~ery Big!
V~ery Beautiful!]
– Although this plan was not originally intended to be public.
And the result is unquestionable: All worldwide media and social networks exploded instantly with this news!
