Who made him Ultraman!

Chapter 178: Single-handedly propelling GUYS technology to new heights! (4.2K)

Hikari stared silently at the three large glasses of water that Teppei had placed on the table.

It seemed that this human had much more to explain than he had imagined.

He knew that meteor technology was created by humans through reverse engineering of advanced technology left behind by extraterrestrials who had visited Earth.

That's the principle, but in practical applications... he only knew about the Spacium beam amplifier, the final technology for meteors.

Tell me about it.

Upon hearing Hikari speak, Teppei cleared his throat and began his introduction:
"Meteor technology is widely used in every corner of GUYS, and it can be said to be the foundation of GUYS."

"Yu Chen, the standard weapon that these combat personnel will be equipped with when they go out on missions in the future, the Tulaiga gun, uses micro meteor technology. This gun will enable ordinary people like us to eliminate aliens and restrain monsters."

Upon seeing the pistol that Zheping had placed on the table, Hikari calmly took the gun and examined it closely.

A pair of Ultra Eyes could see the internal structure of the Tulaiga Gun clearly.

Everyone watched Hikari in silence. Had he already begun to analyze the principles of the Tulaiga spear?
"Is this the only weapon you have?" Hikari asked after the analysis was complete.

"Uh...that's not the case."

Teppei turned around, took the briefcase from Shingo Sakami's desk, opened it, and placed it in front of Hikari.

Inside the suitcase was a medium-sized gun that was nearly thirty centimeters long.

He introduced:

"This is the latest standard-issue firearm developed by the research department, the Meteor Shooting Gun. Unlike the Tulaiga Gun, it is equipped with real meteor technology."

Seeing this, Hikari finally showed interest. He took the Meteor Shooting Gun out of his briefcase and examined it closely.

Yu Chen watched silently without saying a word; this was Hikari's stage.

He was also curious to know just how high Hikari could raise GUYS's military strength.
Before heading to the Land of Light to learn those secrets from the King of Ultra—

Yu Chen didn't intend to trouble Hikari too much; he only planned to have him work on strengthening the Specium Amplifier and reinforcing the seal on Saurus.

But upon learning that an unknown enemy was lurking in the shadows, his thoughts changed...

Hikari suffers, but Yu Chen will bear the blame!

In the world of Triga, the Saint Zhang single-handedly wiped out all the Kirieloids lurking on Earth and successfully replicated a portion of his own power to create the Nexus Key. This "Little Hikari's" abilities are evident to all and can be described as astonishing.

If Hikari Jr. is this strong, how strong must the real Hikari be?
Hikari has only revealed a portion of his abilities, which has already surprised Yu Chen. After all, the Saint Zhang people are not capable of analyzing a weapon in just a few seconds with the naked eye.

Just then, Hikari asked:

Have you ever used this gun in actual combat?

Zheping shook his head:
"No, this gun was just delivered recently. It has already been tested at headquarters and can be used directly in combat."

Hikari gestured for everyone to come closer, then, holding the Meteor Shooting Gun, he introduced it to them, his tone clearly animated, as if he had discovered a treasure:
"This gun has two uses; it can be used for both offense and defense. It is indeed much stronger than the Tulaiga gun."

"The attack method is called Extraordinary Wings, and the power of the ray it emits is no less than that of the Specium Ray of a mature Ultra Warrior of the Space Garrison."

Upon hearing this, Aihara Ryu and the other combatants were overjoyed:
"So powerful...! How can a gun be this powerful?"

Currently, GUYS' most powerful fighter jet, the Strike Phoenix, is composed of three fighter jets.

These are the offensive fighter jet, the Flying Wing; the maneuverable fighter jet, the Loader; and the defensive fighter jet, the Thrust.

After unlocking Meteor Technology and activating Maneuver Mode, the three fighter jets will unlock different new weapons.

Among them, the most powerful is the Specium ballistic missile of the Flying Wing, whose power is comparable to the Specium Ray.

Despite its powerful capabilities, it can only be used once per mission because fighter jets cannot carry more missiles.

Ammunition capacity has always been a major issue.

And now... the power of a pistol is no less than that of the Wing after the Meteor technology was unlocked?

Just as they were overjoyed, Hikari poured cold water on their enthusiasm:
"What are you all so surprised about? Extraordinary Wings is enough to deal with ordinary monsters, but now we are facing a powerful enemy that even a hundred ordinary monsters cannot defeat."

“My comrades, Zoffy, and the other Ultra Brothers died in this war. I want you to understand that reality is not a fairy tale; it is very cruel.”

Seeing Hikari's serious tone, everyone wisely suppressed their joy.

The Ultra Brothers are special beings to Earthlings, but ultimately they can only be described as comrades-in-arms, friends, or fellow soldiers.

But for Hikari, they were his compatriots.

Hikari gave Yu Chen a deep look, his heart heavy with emotion.

[The future? What future?! The Earth doesn't even have a present!]

These were Yu Chen's words just now, and they struck him like a heavy blow, leaving him still somewhat reeling.

Earth still exists, but the price of survival is the death of the six Ultra Brothers.

If Yu Chen hadn't had cards in his hand that could lure away Alien Empera and summon Ultra Warriors from another dimension, perhaps... Earth would have truly perished.

What was he thinking just now? Was he wondering if humans would invade other civilizations hundreds of years from now? That's completely irrelevant!
Hikari had to admit that the artificial Zoffy's words had somewhat influenced him. The other wasn't exactly a pure enemy, but rather a seeker of a different ideal…

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Jianwu raised his hand and took the initiative to bring the topic back:

"Senior Hikari, what are the defensive techniques for the Meteor Shooting Gun?"

Hikari's tone softened:
"The defensive method is called Capture Matrix, which can generate a polygonal barrier with a maximum height of about 60 meters, and the barrier lasts for one minute."

"Within this minute, the barrier can block all attacks, and even the Ultra Warrior's Specium Ray is helpless against it."

A look of joy appeared on everyone's faces, and Aihara Ryu was the first to speak:
"Sounds good, seems even better than Extraordinary Wings."

While the Extraordinary Wings are indeed powerful, in reality... they don't lack such attack methods.

Perhaps the power of a casual punch from Yu Chen is equivalent to an attack from Extraordinary Wings. Their Ultra Warriors are simply too powerful.

Just then, Zheping asked in confusion:

"Wait... the barrier lasts for one minute. Does that mean it can withstand a hundred beams of light within that minute?"

"What are you thinking, friend? Are you here to argue?" George said with a laugh.

"This thing isn't some kind of invincible thing that lasts for a minute, how could it possibly withstand a hundred rays of light?"

“That makes sense.” Zheping scratched his head, realizing he had indeed been arguing for the sake of arguing.

Hikari pointed at Yu Chen and said helplessly:

"If Nexus goes all out, he might not even be able to block one of his beams."

After saying that, he changed the subject:
"However... I'm confident I can turn it into a barrier that can withstand a hundred rays of light!"

"What!?" Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Ultraman Hikari, can you really do it?"

Hikari said confidently:

"The Ultra Brothers died from Emperor Alien's beam. Since we're developing towards a defensive strategy, then... this barrier must be able to withstand its beam!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen blinked:
"Completely resisting it is unrealistic, isn't it? The Rezolim Ray of the Alien Empera is not so easy to deal with."

"Why not? You have to believe in Hikari!"

Aihara Ryu wanted to persuade Yu Chen, but unexpectedly Hikari actually shook his head.

"It's unrealistic. If I could do that..."

"Why did the Land of Light have to wait until now? They could have defeated Alien Empera more than 10,000 years ago." Everyone nodded in agreement. The Land of Light was severely weakened by Alien Empera's invasion 30,000 years ago.

The reason there has been no counterattack so far is not because we lack the ability to deal with Ampera, but because the cost of starting a war is unimaginable.

“I had this idea before, but the Alien Empera has been hiding and has not been as flamboyant as it was 30,000 years ago... so it is difficult to get the captain to agree to this topic.”

After Hikari finished speaking, Yu Chen felt a deep sense of agreement.

Research requires funding, but there's only so much. If we give you a larger share, what about the others?
However, this idea is not very reasonable when applied to the Land of Light.

As is widely known, the Ultra race and the Emperor aliens have a blood feud, and war is bound to break out in the future.

If he were the Grand Commander of the Land of Light, he would simply wave his hand and allow Hikari to conduct his research at will, with no room for negligence in matters of military affairs.

Just like in his previous life, during the impoverished 1950s and 60s, when material resources were scarce and the quality of life was extremely poor, even so, they still researched nuclear weapons, wasn't it all for the purpose of preventing problems before they arise?

Yu Chen pondered for a few seconds but couldn't come up with a reasonable answer.

Because the Land of Light doesn't even have proper security.

He truly couldn't understand why Father of Ultra, Zoffy, and the others didn't take preventative measures...

It's impossible that everyone in the Land of Light is good, so they assume that other civilizations and beings in the universe will also change for the better, including the Aliens of Empera, so they don't take any precautions, right?

He shook his head, sighed softly, and couldn't understand it; such a level of awareness was unattainable.

Hikari said in a deep voice:

"At most... I can only withstand one attack from Alien Empera."

"That's really great! Hikari, you're amazing!" Mirai exclaimed, her eyes wide.

Aihara Ryu scratched his head:

"If one gun can stop a person once, then mass-producing a hundred guns would stop a person a hundred times, wouldn't that?"

Everyone: "..."

"I feel like I'm starting to get a brain."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Aihara Ryu blushed instantly, and everyone stifled their laughter.

Yu Chen played the recording twice before stopping. It was a recording of what Aihara Ryu had said a long time ago during the alien identification machine incident.

After all, sometimes... you really can't argue with a "hot-blooded idiot".

Upon hearing this, Hikari glanced at Aihara Ryu and finally understood what kind of situation this human was.

Why don't you just say you'll mass-produce ten thousand of them and take down Alien Empera tomorrow?

Even the Land of Light, let alone Earth, doesn't have this capability!

Then, Zheping drank the first glass of water.

"This is the meteor technology for firearms; the next two are the main event."

"All the fighter jets that headquarters has provided us with are equipped with Meteor technology. Whether it's three small fighter jets or the combined Strike Phoenix, they can unlock Meteor technology, enter supersonic maneuvering mode, and unlock different abilities."

Zheping took a stack of documents and explained the Meteor technology for fighter jets to Hikari in detail.

Mobility mode, lasting one minute.

【Phantom Flight】: The fighter jet can perform supersonic maneuvers at speeds approaching Mach 20.

Furthermore, during the duration of the mobility mode, new weapons can be used for attacks or other purposes.

Wing: [Specium Ballistic Missile], its power is no less than that of the Specium Ray.

Loading number: [Blinger Fan], generates a tornado below the machine that can pull monsters into it for restraint.

Propulsion: [Spiral Defense Wall], deflects enemy attacks, its blocking effect is comparable to Capture Strike.

The [Big Bang Ray] has roughly the same power as the [Specium Ballistic Missile].

The combined three fighter jets, the Strike Phoenix, possess a new weapon called the Phoenix Strike, whose power far surpasses the Specium Ray; a single beam of light can easily annihilate a monster.

Hikari quietly flipped through the documents and listened to Teppei's explanation, gaining a complete understanding of the fighter jet.

It can be said that fighter jets are the soul of the defense force, and their Meteor technology is also the most advanced.

Attack, containment, counterattack, destruction. It has it all.

Teppei drank his second glass of water, looking at Hikari expectantly:
"Could it be... that the meteor technology of fighter jets can also be improved?"

Just as Hikari was about to speak, Shingo Sakami walked over and handed over a stack of brand-new documents:
"I have another document here."

"Regarding new meteor technology."

After receiving the documents, Hikari examined them...

[GUYS Japan Branch Base - Phoenix Nest]

Due to the base's enormous size, and for the safety of all staff, it was not equipped with the "Phantom Flight" maneuver mode.

New weapon [Phoenix Miracle]: Can release a 100 million volt charged ion beam to destroy enemies.

After reading it, Hikari exclaimed in surprise:

"You actually converted the base into a fighter jet base?"

Upon hearing this, everyone blinked and immediately crowded around, staring at the information in Hikari's hand.

"What? Our base is actually a fighter jet base?"

"As members of GUYS, don't you know?" Hikari asked curiously.

Everyone shook their heads, their faces full of confusion.

Upon hearing this, Shingo Sakamizu smiled and explained:
"The project was initiated before the base was built, but the research had been stalled. It was only after the research resumed during the period of frequent monster outbreaks that the research department began to work on it."

"In about half a month, the meteor technology upgrade of Phoenix Nest will be completed and it can be put into actual combat."

Hikari nodded, thinking to himself, "Humans are really persistent and enthusiastic about improving the power of their weapons."

He was single-mindedly focused on how to destroy the enemy.

He then lowered his eyes, staring at the contents of the document, mentally rehearsing the modification plan and process...

Seeing Hikari's thoughtful expression, Yu Chen couldn't help but be surprised...

GUYS's Meteor technology is actually quite good, and its performance completely surpasses that of the Victory Team and Elite Victory Team.

On top of that, you can still upgrade?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into Yu Chen's mind.

The final choice for the artificial monster capsule was Zetton, but he wasn't actually very satisfied with Zetton.

He actually wanted to select aliens with special abilities, but due to the limitations of GUYS's technology, he had to give up.

Because the abilities of artificial monsters are essentially simulations, not actual replicas.

And now that Hikari is here... could it really work out?
For example, the time-stopping ray of the Bila aliens...

Can it be reproduced?
