123: Chapter 122 The Emperor Organization's Ambition, Project Mechagodzilla

"Yes."

Half an hour later.

An emergency cabinet meeting of Eagle Country.

The President sat at the head of the table and looked around.

"Everyone, the Northern Border Federation has already secured a spot to enter the Hollow Earth World and the qualifications for joint development."

"We cannot fall behind."

"Minister of National Defense, tell us, what price do we need to pay?"

The Minister of National Defense stood up and said with an emphasized tone: "According to intelligence, the price paid by the Northern Border Federation is two million tons of nuclear waste, twenty heavy mechs, and mining rights to five rare mineral deposits."

"If we want to secure a spot, we must pay at least an equivalent or even higher price."

"..."

The conference room fell into a dead silence.

There was no other way.

Two million tons of nuclear waste?

Twenty heavy mechs?

Mining rights to five rare mineral deposits?

This price tag was a massive expense even for Eagle Country.

"Can we afford it?" the President asked.

"We can."

The Minister of Finance nodded and said: "But... it will have a certain impact on the domestic economy."

"How much of an impact?"

"In the short term, GDP may drop by 8%."

"..."

The President narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long while,

The President uttered a single word:

"Pay."

"What?"

"I said, pay." The President stood up and said: "The value of the Hollow Earth World far exceeds these things. If we do not secure a spot, we will be even more passive in the future."

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

They knew the President was right.

"Then should we contact Dragon Country now?" the Minister of National Defense asked.

"Yes."

The President nodded and said: "Contact them immediately."

However,

Just at that moment.

The door to the conference room was pushed open.

The Minister of Intelligence walked in quickly.

"Mr. President, there is important intelligence."

"What intelligence?"

"A mysterious organization named the 'Wangdi Organization' has contacted us."

"Wangdi Organization?" the President frowned, "Who are they?"

"Unclear." The Minister of Intelligence shook his head and said: "But... they said they want to cooperate with Eagle Country."

"Cooperate on what?"

"They said..." The Minister of Intelligence paused, then said with some disbelief: "They can create mechanical monsters."

"What?!"

The President stood up in utter shock and said: "Mechanical monsters?"

"Yes."

The Minister of Intelligence nodded and added astonishingly: "They also said they can create mechanical monsters that rival Godzilla."

"..."

Silence!

The conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared with wide, shocked eyes.

Holy crap!

Mechanical monsters that rival Godzilla?

Is this possible?

"Where are they?" the President asked urgently.

"Waiting outside The Hundred Palaces."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

Five minutes later.

The conference room door was pushed open again.

Three people in black suits walked in.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Mr. President, nice to meet you."

"Are you from the Wangdi Organization?"

"Yes."

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "My name is William Stern, and I am the Chief Scientist of the Wangdi Organization."

"What is the Wangdi Organization?"

"An organization dedicated to researching Titan Beasts." William smiled: "We have existed for over a hundred years."

"Over a hundred years?"

The President frowned, "Why have I never heard of it?"

"Because we have always been operating in the shadows." William explained: "It wasn't until the Abyss Era began that we decided to surface."

"You said you can build mechanical monsters?"

"Yes."

William nodded with a smile and said: "We have been secretly researching various Titan Beasts for over a hundred years and have mastered a vast amount of data and technology. As long as we have sufficient resources and time, we can create mechanical monsters that rival Godzilla."

"..."

The President stared at William.

He was judging whether what this man said was true or false.

"Do you have proof?"

"Of course."

William took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to the President, "This is the result of our research."

The President took the document and scanned it quickly.

The document contained a massive amount of data regarding Titan Beasts.

Skeletal structure, energy sources, combat styles... and even some design schematics for mechanical monsters.

No,

To be precise,

these schematics and the mechs share striking similarities.

"This..."

Especially after seeing that mech technology was also applied to the mechanical monsters, the President showed an expression of disbelief and said with uncertainty: "Can you really do this?"

"We can."

William said confidently, "But we need the support of Eagle Country."

"What kind of support?"

"Funding, resources, and..." William paused, then said: "Godzilla's combat data, and combat data on various Abyssal Giant Beasts."

"Godzilla's combat data and combat data on various Abyssal Giant Beasts?"

"Yes." William said with a confident tone: "We need to analyze Godzilla's combat style in order to build stronger mechanical monsters."

"..."

The President fell into hesitation.

Eagle Country indeed had some of Godzilla's combat data.

After all, when Godzilla was cleaning up nuclear waste in Eagle Country previously, they had secretly recorded quite a bit of data. As for combat data on various Abyssal Giant Beasts, Eagle Country had an outrageous amount.

"If we provide this, how long will it take for you to build a mechanical monster?"

"Half a year." William held up a bent finger: "Seven months at most."

"Seven months..."

A glimmer of anticipation and excitement flashed in the President's eyes.

Heh, what else is there to say? If they could really build a mechanical monster that rivaled Godzilla, Eagle Country would no longer have to care about Dragon Country's attitude.

"Good."

The President stood up, "I agree to the cooperation."

"A wise choice."

William smiled.

Since they had agreed to cooperate,

William Stern was ready to show his real technology. He stood directly in front of the projection screen, and the laser pointer in his hand swept across the design schematics.

"Everyone, this is our ultimate weapon—Mechagodzilla."

The screen displayed a 3D model of a giant mechanical monster.

Its appearance was extremely similar to Godzilla's, but its entire body was covered in silver-white armor, its dorsal fins were retractable energy emitters, and its eyes were red optical sensors.

"How big is it?" the President asked.

"The first-generation Mechagodzilla is designed to be five hundred meters tall." William pulled up the data, "It weighs approximately eight hundred and fifty thousand tons and is equipped with a nuclear fusion reactor as its energy core."

"What about the weapon systems?" the Minister of National Defense pressed.

"Plasma cannons, missile launch systems, electromagnetic pulse generators, and..." William paused, then added: "Artificial Atomic Breath."

"Artificial Atomic Breath?"

"Yes." William said confidently: "Through research and analysis, we discovered that its Atomic Breath is essentially a high-energy particle beam. As long as we have sufficient energy, we can replicate this attack method."

"..."

The high-ranking officials in the conference room looked at each other.

If they could really replicate Godzilla's Atomic Breath, the combat power of Mechagodzilla would be terrifying.

"What is the cost?" the Minister of Finance asked.

"Initial estimate: nine hundred billion USD."

"Nine hundred billion?!"

The Minister of Finance couldn't help but gasp.

No way?

Isn't this cost too high?

To put it bluntly, this figure is a super massive sum even for Eagle Country.

"It is worth it."

William said calmly: "If Mechagodzilla is successful, Eagle Country will possess the ability to counter Godzilla."

"At that time, Dragon Country will no longer be the only superpower."
