Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

He devoted most of his life's work to this machine.

He noticed that everyone was captivated by his masterpiece.

Okumura was also very happy.

But he didn't forget the purpose of bringing the UPIC team here.

"To make a long story short, I know you're all very busy, so let's start trying it out now. This Alfa A model requires two pilots, one responsible for weapons control and the other for maneuver control."

"So, which two comrades would like to be the first to try?"

Okumura's slightly weathered face was full of a cheerful smile.

Commander Kojima exchanged a glance with Ihara, who had remained silent.

Neither side has made a statement.

"I come."

"Me too!"

Noi spoke calmly, followed by Muraka, who raised her hand with an excited expression.

Muraka seemed to have just realized that she and Noi had become "partners" again.

Her face immediately fell.

"Then it's the two of you. Please."

Okumura nodded with a smile, and seeing that Kojima and Ihara had no objections, he then spoke.

"Through the elevator platform, you can directly reach the head area. Below the neck and slightly above the chest is the cockpit, where the protective armor is the thickest."

"All external images are obtained through radar line of sight, including satellite positioning, high-definition cameras, etc. There will be no problem with the line of sight."

"The rest of the team members, along with Commander Kojima and Captain Ihara, please come to the monitoring room. We'll be observing the experiment from there."

Okumura first gave a brief explanation of how Alpha worked, and then led the rest of the team, along with Kojima Ihara, to the monitoring room.

A staff member who had been waiting nearby led Noi and Muraka to the elevator platform.

"At the beginning, we will guide you to become familiar with the machine. Once you are completely familiar with it, we will conduct the formal experiment."

The staff member smiled and said this to the two, then gestured for them to proceed.

Thanks for reminding me!

Muraka expressed her sincere gratitude, her gaze towards Alpha becoming even more excited.

...

"Only when you get really close do you realize how huge the Alphard is!"

Muraka and Noi followed the staff to the vicinity of the elevator platform.

"Of course, Alpha is 51 meters tall and weighs 52000 tons. It's a super big guy."

“There are some devices around the entire body of the Alfa, and it will take some time to disassemble them. You two should go to the cockpit first.”

The staff operated the lift for a while, and then signaled for the two people to come up.

Noi remained silent and stepped forward first.

“geda”.

"This...could it fall down?"

Muraka looked at the rather rudimentary-looking lift platform and said somewhat awkwardly.

"No, don't worry."

The staff patiently explained, "Don't let its fragile appearance fool you; it's perfectly safe. Perhaps it's just your imagination. Fifty meters is quite a height!"

Chapter 33 Alpha Type A Experiment

"Hehe~"

Muraka gave an awkward smile and quickly stood up as well.

Noi turned around and looked at the Alpha, which was so close to him, with a look of longing in his eyes.

If the human body has its limits...

Technology will then represent countless possibilities.

In any case, I must strive to become an Alphard driver.

Unfortunately, I wasn't driving alone.

Noi felt a little regretful and subconsciously glanced at Muraka.

Unexpectedly, it was seen by Muraka, who was looking around in fear.

Hey, what kind of look is that?!

Muraka glared at him without hesitation.

Even the fear dissipated somewhat.

Noi, however, remained indifferent, even resting his arm on the railing at the edge of the elevator platform, silently watching the figures below shrink until they resembled ants.

Muraka immediately became obedient and even shrank back a bit towards the center of the lifting platform.

"arrive."

Standing outside the Alfa Romeo cockpit, a staff member took out a card and gently aligned it with the scanner on the silver door.

"Identification successful!"

A burst of white light emanated from the edge of the gate, revealing a black camera through what appeared to be a peephole.

The staff member looked serious and moved the camera so that his face could be seen.

"Authentication successful! Please enter the administrator password!"

The staff member paused, then turned around and said, "Due to Alpha's importance, it is currently protected by triple passwords to prevent unauthorized personnel from infiltrating. Once it is delivered to UPIC, it will most likely adopt a more advanced holographic scanning method that can unlock the device in one second, which will make things much more convenient."

"I see…"

Muraka stared wide-eyed, feeling a sense of mystery about it!

Noi nodded slightly.

The staff then entered a six-digit password from the protruding keypad.

After the beeping sound, the door opened from the center, and the four split door panels entered the four side containers respectively.

"Please come in!"

The staff member smiled and gestured for the two team members to go inside.

The cockpit is clearly visible from the entrance. It has two seats, one in front and one behind, surrounded by a ring of high-tech instruments, giving it a bit of a dental clinic feel.

At the very front is a large curved display screen that shows the view in 180 degrees, which is very much in line with human vision.

It's like a computer desk control panel, and it's very simple, just like a game console, with everything you need: up, down, left, right, etc.

The two joysticks on the left and right are used for speed adjustment and simple actions.

The driver's seat at the rear is responsible for weapon firing, mainly the alpha beam in the chest, missiles in the wrists, and laser beams in the eyes.

In addition, there are some more specialized equipment such as smoke bombs, illumination bombs, incendiary bombs, and freeze bombs.

After a brief explanation of the operation, the staff member concluded by saying, "Our control tower will conduct a simple command briefing shortly. The operational steps for responding to the action will then appear on the communication screen. By the way, who is in charge of the piloting?"

"Me, me, me! I'll do it!"

Murakami raised her little hand.

I'm so excited to be driving such a huge machine!

I can't wait!

"Okay, let's start with the operation. Pay attention to the communication screen. You can slow down the speed a bit, after all, this is Alpha's first complete operational experiment!"

"Then weapons tests were conducted, also with designated targets."

Nodding to Noi, the staff left the cockpit. To be honest, apart from the various buttons and screens, the cockpit wasn't very big.

It was a bit cramped with three people standing inside, but the area of ​​the complete cockpit was indeed quite large. However, most of it was armor, and the Alfa Romeo prioritized practicality, so comfort could be reduced somewhat.

The weapon driver's seat is higher than the action driver's seat, so that the display screen in front can be seen from behind. There is also a slightly smaller display screen in front of the weapon driver's seat, which can show a 180-degree view of the rear.

The head area, which is also a display screen, naturally offers a view of the sky.

Noi was the first to sit down.

The soft touch combined with the support of hard surfaces allows the driver to maintain focus at all times, and even bumps will not affect them in the slightest.

"Weapon pilots are ready!"

A mechanical female voice rang out from the cockpit.

Then the lights came on, illuminating the cockpit.

Without even a moment to sigh, Muraka quickly got into the driver's seat.

"Click".

The seat belts automatically tightened for both people, and Noi also noticed a red button on the armrest of the seat.

"That's the emergency escape button. Since the Alfa was designed with close combat in mind, the escape button was placed there to prevent the driver from being unable to escape in case of danger."

Pressing the button three times will instantly launch the aircraft, allowing it to quickly move away from its original position following an intelligent trajectory. In other words, the pilot's seat is also a small aircraft!

Okumura's energetic voice rang out.

Noi, who was staring curiously at the button, was startled and looked around blankly.

Soon, he spotted Masashi Okumura on the small screen above him.

"Hi~ We'll be monitoring the entire process to prevent errors caused by initial setup~"

Okumura laughed loudly, just like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank.

Noi remained silent.
