All Novel Full Chapter 990
Chapter 990: Chapter 920_1 Chapter 990: Chapter 920_1 “You’re not just going to display a model, are you?
A large figurine?
A game peripheral release conference?”
“I’ve said it so many times, Cloud Dream, don’t just focus on technology and development, please do some public relations!
Look at this event, how grim and shabby it’s become!”
“Right, skip this part and directly put up the link, okay?
I’ll even buy it if I have to!”
…
Despite Lincoln and the Factory Manager earnestly performing the ribbon-cutting, the audience clearly didn’t want to believe.
Only the far-off ‘Lincoln Countermeasures Group’ in America, past members of the ‘Lincoln Countermeasures Department’, as well as a few governmental and military personnel and the President, knew well what Lincoln had done and held a high level of trust in this ribbon-cutting ritual.

But they were also uncertain as to what extent Lincoln could achieve.
So anyone who had the time was also paying attention to this matter, wanting to see what Lincoln would reveal.
And they didn’t have to wait long.

Lincoln’s ribbon-cutting ceremony was not stale like the conventional ones, and didn’t have too much of a speaking portion either.
After cutting through the red silk, the Factory Manager briefly introduced his factory, complimented Lincoln a couple of times, and the ceremony was neatly concluded.
The staff quickly tidied things up and moved on to the next segment.
Without any ceremoniousness, Lincoln pulled a button from his pocket-it was a very common, completely sci-fi-less, big red button.
“Next, we will present the product display.” Lincoln waved the button in his hand then signaled for the cameraman to back up.
So, the lens pulled back a bit, and Lincoln’s figure shrank a little.
Yet Lincoln waved again, signaling for the lens to retreat further.
After pulling back again, Lincoln in the frame had become a small figure.
Only at this point did the audience discover: behind Lincoln, there was a mammoth object hidden under a tarpaulin.
“???”
“Could it be?”
“It couldn’t possibly be?”
“How can that be?!”
…
The atmosphere in the comments instantly changed.
But, before they could contemplate further, Lincoln already lifted the big red button and forcefully pressed down.
The sound of the electric motor rang out, the drum of the tarpaulin swiftly rotated under the pull of the electric motor, reclaiming the steel cables.
The huge tarpaulin attached to the cables was also being pulled backward.
From a frontal view, the vast tarpaulin sank back, revealing what was hidden underneath – starting from the feet and all the way up.
Rugged and sturdy, there were dark red “Double Legs” with multiple shock-absorbing devices housed inside, a “Ankle Joint” mechanical structure faintly visible in the air, “Lower Legs” in a calves armor that are wide and hefty, an alternating black and red “Knee Joint,” which came with its own independent electric motor.
Because of structural and weight distribution considerations, the “Thigh” portion appears smaller than the lower leg part, somewhat defying common intuition.
However, this behemoth didn’t have the concept of a “Thigh” to begin with, that piece representing the “Thigh” – a red metal shell – is where the knee and the hip joint transmission systems meet.
This shell was added only to make the mech more intuitive to look at.
Beneath them were the spreadable, golden-red “Mid-Doors”, the waist that seemed lean yet packed with strength, the stalwart breastplate, the “Single-Eyed” cockpit that came with its own headlights, and—
The characteristic: Three Mechanical Arms!
The tarpaulin fell to the ground, the mech bathed in sunlight, revealing its full figure.
This is—
The [Crimson Storm]!
Even though the lens had pulled back a great deal, when shooting the eight-story-tall colossal mech, the camera had to tilt upwards quite a bit to barely capture more than half of the body.
This gigantic humanoid figure naturally possessed a strong visual impact, the unprepared live-streaming team and the viewers in the live-stream room were nearly rendered speechless out of shock.
Until a voice filled with awe rang out from the live-stream room—
“F*ck…”
That was the voice of the cameraman.
His voice was broadcasted to the live-stream room.
Obviously, he too, was deeply shaken.
The moment this voice sounded, his nearby colleague quickly came to his senses, ran over and turned off the microphone attached to the collar of the Factory Manager standing next to the cameraman.
—The cameraman was standing directly in front of the mech, which was about the best viewing spot, everyone stood around this area, causing this small live-streaming accident.
But viewers in the live-streaming room didn’t care about this at all.
Not only did they not care, but they also felt that the cameraman voiced out everyone’s thoughts—
“Are you f*cking serious?!??”
“This…I…no…you…f*ck!
I don’t even know what to say anymore!”
“What more is there to say?
Post the link!”
“Post your mum!
Who can afford this thing?!”
“Under 30 million, one flat rate!
Within 100 million, give me a month to raise the money!”
“No way, bro, are you for real?”
“I was naively thinking that nothing could be more ostentatious and outrageous than the giant airship, but I was wrong…”
“I would call it: the most outrageous game peripheral of this century!”
“I knew it, when the American President mentioned building a mech, Lincoln would have a response, and here it is!”
“Do you guys think, this thing…can it move?”
…
The live broadcast room instantly exploded with popularity, not only were comments pouring out rapidly, media and netizens from around the world were also rushing to it, audiences were inviting friends to watch, and the audience quantity rose sharply.
In addition to netizens who stopped their work to watch the live, even those living nearby, even within Xiajing City, were rushing here pedal to the metal.
— this training ground is not a secret place at all.
Lincoln didn’t pay attention to the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room, as the audience’s reaction was within expectation.
After all, the real show is just about to begin!
He took off his coat, revealing the blue working uniform underneath, and strode toward the mech: “Next, I’ll personally drive the Crimson Storm, and give everyone a demonstration!”
“???”
“Awesome!
I knew it wasn’t just a model!”
“Lincoln!
God!!”
…
The live streaming room boiled instantly!
But when Henry and Yue Pengju heard this, they immediately sprinted over and clung tightly to his arm.
“You f*cking come back here!” Henry was very anxious, “Come back!
You can’t go up there!”
“Huh?” Lincoln was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
“Can’t this thing be remotely controlled?” Henry was freaking out, “The control panel is right there, isn’t it!”
Behind everyone, twenty meters away from the mech, was the control panel for remote controlling the mech, and the system had already been debugged, under Henry’s full supervision.
But Lincoln looked at the control panel and blinked, “Remote control is soulless.”
“Soul?” Henry was already prepared to hear Lincoln’s excuses, but this outrageous reason still left him bewildered for a moment.
“Yes!” Lincoln was adamant, speaking as if it were a fact, “Remote control will offend the Mech Soul.”
“Mech Soul?” Another new term, Henry was stunned again.
“Yes, it’s the soul of mechanical creations, if you…”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Henry finally reacted and stopped Lincoln’s nonsense, “Don’t try to hoodwink me, and definitely do not go up there directly, just test it remotely from below!
No exceptions!”
Lincoln felt Henry’s determination, so he turned to look at Yue Pengju: “Brother Yue, can you help me hold him for a while?”
Henry: “???”
Yue Pengju: “???”
“Boss, do you really hate me that much?”
“Sigh.” Seeing that Brother Yue was also unwilling to help, Lincoln sighed helplessly, “Alright, alright, remote control it is then.”
He unhappily walked towards the control panel.
The principle of remotely controlling the mech, actually, is not complicated.
With the technology of brain-controlled prosthetic limbs, it’s only a step away from brain-controlled robots, and this step is not difficult.
There are already finished products in Lincoln’s lab, and the Military Research Institute most likely has related technology as well.
However, using this technology to directly control such a large “robot” is definitively not feasible, it requires quite a number of secondary control systems.
And the best control method is definitely inside the mech, not far away, controlling it with a wire.
But for safety, they had to accept it.
Lincoln stepped onto the control panel, put on a helmet connected with wires, and quickly fastened auxiliary devices on his shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, knees, and ankles, and was ready in no time.
Next, he started up the helmet, self-checked the operating system, and after confirming that there were no errors, Lincoln issued a command—
“Crimson Storm—Start!”
“Hum—”
A deep engine revving sound echoed inside the mech, the core in the chest and independent motors at each joint also started to whir, working in tandem with the engine, gears, hydraulic cylinders, transmission rods, to infuse tremendous energy into every corner of the mech.
As the auto-balancing system received power, the mech’s posture also changed.
Originally this was a small change, but because of its towering figure, it was magnified to be quite noticeable.
Therefore, under the watchful eyes of everyone…
The Crimson Storm, came to life!
