MTLNOVEL Chapter 1329 Star Sea (134)
The universe is profound, the star sea is boundless.
Wang Chen was lying in the panoramic master bedroom of the Starlight, holding someone in each arm, gazing up at the countless shining stars.
It felt as if time had stopped at this moment forever.
After a long time, Ming Mei, nestled in Wang Chen's left arm, rubbed her face against his chest and whispered, "Brother, do you think we'll always be together?"
Wang Chen smiled softly and kissed her forehead, "Of course."
Ming Mei adjusted her posture to snuggle in comfortably, her eyes reflecting the expanse of stars, "That's wonderful."
The one on the right, Tang Mo, held onto Wang Chen's arm and showed a sweet smile.
Suddenly, Wang Chen said, "When the war is over one day, I'll take you to explore the stars."
Although the empire is vast, its occupied space is just a fraction of the universe, and even in the Ancient Star system, there are still large, unexplored star regions.
Wang Chen felt fortunate to have arrived in the star sea, not only to find the origin of this great world but also to explore the mysteries of the universe.
Even if it takes decades or even centuries, it's worth it!
Tang Mo and Ming Mei nodded in agreement, "Mm."
Wang Chen hugged his girlfriends tightly, feeling only joy and peace.
After piloting the Starlight through the cosmos for five days, Wang Chen returned to Taiwu Star with his two girlfriends.
And Ming Mei presented him with a surprise she had been preparing for a year.
A newly designed heavy combat mecha!
At the Imperial First Military Academy, Third Mecha Research Institute, Wang Chen saw the mecha tailored specifically for him.
The Valkyrie III Combat Mecha, standing at a height of 23.55 meters, weighing 32.8 tons, equipped with four PC6600+ model engines, and the Iron Wall V-type AT Force Field Generator among other latest configurations.
Compared to the first-generation Valkyrie that Ming Mei designed for Wang Chen, the Valkyrie III has undergone multiple upgrades, transforming from a medium mech to a heavy one, with comprehensive enhancements in power and armament.
This heavy mecha can be equipped with a 180mm super particle cannon and two 85mm close-defense laser cannons, along with multi-tube missile launcher systems and electronic warfare equipment.
Although these weapons haven't been installed yet, standing before the Valkyrie III, Wang Chen could still feel its power!
The Valkyrie III Combat Mecha's design, compared to the Imperial Army's standard mechas, appears more majestic and valiant, exuding an aura of fierce ferocity like a formidable warrior on the battlefield.
"Thank you!"
Wang Chen sincerely said to his girlfriend.
He knew that ever since their last parting, Ming Mei, who returned to the First Military Academy, devoted all her time and energy into the design and construction of this mecha.
Although Wang Chen's wealth power backed her, it's unimaginable how much effort Ming Mei put in to produce this initial model in less than a year!
Receiving Wang Chen's praise, Ming Mei blushed and said, "Try it first, if there are any issues we can make improvements."
Customizing a mecha requires continuous adjustments based on the user's combat habits, which is an extremely important task.
Wang Chen nodded, opened his personal terminal connected to the mecha, and activated the giant in front of him.
The next moment, the eyes of the Valkyrie faintly lit up, and countless numerical symbols flickered on the crystalline membrane.
In just a few seconds, it completed the warm-up routine, and the wide cockpit door automatically opened.
Wang Chen turned around, back towards the mecha, and leaped up forcefully, landing steadily in the cockpit.
This boarding method was undoubtedly cool to the extreme, making Ming Mei's starry eyes shimmer as she couldn't help but clap her small hands.
Wang Chen smiled at her, then closed the hatch.
He activated the thruster engines, connected the neural signal unit, linked his mind with the mech's super brain core…
Five minutes later, this heavy mech started moving on the Third Mecha Research Institute's testing field, walking, running, jumping, hovering, flipping, shifting…
Despite the Valkyrie III's mass exceeding thirty tons, under Wang Chen's control, it demonstrated maneuverability and agility comparable to a medium mech.
The institute's technical staff watched intently, even unable to resist cheering loudly!
The Valkyrie III Combat Mecha project was quite special and initially not very well received.
If it weren't for Wang Chen's substantial investments and his stature as an Imperial hero from the First Military Academy, the Third Mecha Research Institute would've never assembled elite personnel to collaborate with an as-yet ungraduated designer on this project.
But now, everyone involved in the project felt that the past year had not been wasted.
They had designed and built an entirely new heavy mech!
Valkyrie is certainly not perfect; compared to the new mechas being developed by the Empire, it surely has various shortcomings.
But under the current conditions, this was already the best work the Third Mecha Research Institute could produce!
In the following months, Wang Chen stayed at the institute, collaborating with Ming Mei and the technical team to refine and perfect the Valkyrie III.
With significant amounts of Star Currency poured in, the Valkyrie III increasingly took on the trait of a mass-production combat mecha.
However, in reality, this new type of mecha couldn't be mass-produced because its design and control were tailored specifically for Wang Chen, incorporating many of his personal ideas.
For another pilot to operate it, the combat effectiveness would surely fall short of the Imperial standard mecha.
During this process, including Ming Mei, the research team's technical staff also came up with plenty of creative ideas, further enriching the Valkyrie III's functionalities.
Half a year after Wang Chen returned to Taiwu Star, the Valkyrie III Combat Mecha officially reached its final form.
And it was renamed the War God Mecha!
This name, to be honest, is rather arrogant and domineering, but under normal circumstances, no one would dare to use it.
However, none of the technical researchers at the Third Mecha Research Institute thought it was excessive.
Because after multiple composite combat scenario tests, the War God Mecha, piloted by Wang Chen, demonstrated combat power 1.75 times that of the Empire's standard heavy mechs.
And this data was achieved without activating the extreme mode!
By the year's end, the Third Mecha Research Institute assembled a total of three War God Mechas, and Wang Chen applied to the Imperial military to equip them with all their weapons.
The Imperial military showed a lot of respect to Wang Chen, the hero of the Glory Nobility, by equipping them with all the latest model weapons.
Of course, it wasn't free.
Wang Chen spent over ten billion Star Currency on this, and including the cost of mecha parts and ammunition reserves, the total cost reached the level of an escort ship.
Just half a month after Wang Chen received all the equipment, war broke out.
The Nether Tribe launched a large-scale invasion of the Empire's border regions!
