516 A Tenser Situation

“Chief Engineer Wu, all countries around the world are currently being harassed by sea monsters. They’re all hoping to build similar mechs, but all their attempts have failed. May I ask, as the father of mechs, would you help other countries manufacture such mechs?”

The venue immediately became dead silent following this question.

Everyone stared at Wu Mo, as they were curious about his answer.

A staff member frowned and was secretly annoyed. He felt that the reporter was being disrespectful by asking such a question on such an occasion.

They should have stopped him and prevented him from entering the venue.

Then, the staff member glared at the other reporters as a warning for them to watch their words and not ask such questions casually.

Wu Mo calmly took a sip of tea before he answered, “Making a mech is no small feat. Although many countries are confident, they don’t have what it takes.”

His words shocked many people!

Wu Mo sounded too arrogant. He actually said that other countries did not have what it took!

Which country was he talking about?

Everyone knew that the countries actively manufacturing mechs had strong industrial strength. Yet, they were being accused of not being good enough?

It was unbelievable!

At this moment, some of the reporters started to tremble.

They were worried that this question would cause a huge uproar and that small reporters like them would be punished as a result.

When the reporter who asked the question saw how blunt Wu Mo was, he got so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Cold sweat almost dripped down his forehead.

“However,” Wu Mo continued, “since it’s now the time for everyone to fight the sea monsters together, this is a major event for all of humanity. Therefore, I could provide some technical support.”

Then, he changed the subject. “But it’s naturally impossible for me to make a mech all on my own.

Hearing Wu Mo’s reply, the reporter heaved a sigh of relief. His hand almost collapsed as he held the microphone.

The atmosphere in the entire venue became lively again, and people discussed in low voices.

“Mr. Wu, since you’re willing to provide technical support, does this include the mysterious all-purpose chip?”

The staff in the venue want to strangle the reporter at this point.

It was a very blunt question. The all-purpose chip was extremely important to a mech, just like a core component.

In response to the sharp question, Wu Mo smiled and replied, “I’m sorry, but all-purpose chips are also incredibly rare in China. If we have extras, we’ll definitely sell them to everyone at a low price.”

His answer was perfect and flawless.

He himself lacked it, so why should he give it to anyone else?

Right then, many reporters were impressed by Wu Mo’s calmness, as well as integrity, and they started clapping.

Wu Mo smiled and motioned for everyone to continue asking questions. However, after the staff gave the reporters a warning look, the following questions were much more normal and less piercing.

After he answered the questions, Wu Mo felt a little tired, so he left in a hurry.

The officers and engineers answered the rest of the questions, but it was obvious that after Wu Mo left, the hype in the venue dropped a lot.

Everyone wanted to get more information from the father of mechs because he was the only authority figure when it came to mechs. He knew Battle God’s true situation.

At this moment, Wu Mo arrived at the command center to check on recent developments with the old chief.

“Wu Mo, we’ve been monitoring the wormhole under the sea at thirty-six degrees north latitude. Recently, there has been increased activity. Instead of the original every three hours, a sea monster is now spawning every hour, and I’m worried that the frequency will increase,” the old chief slowly said with a solemn expression.

This meant that all the sea monsters might have come from the same space-time node.

The sea monsters on a distant planet had apparently discovered the location of the wormhole, and they could now pass through to their world!

Once this shocking fact spread, would the sea monsters swarm over like an army?

When that happened, the number of sea monsters on the entire planet would soar. How would humans fight back?

It was destined to be an unfair battle because the number of humans and their technological strength could not achieve explosive growth in a short period of time.

However, the sea monsters could! The increase in the speed of their appearance was not a good sign. Humans had to be prepared.

Wu Mo contemplated for a moment and said, “Old Chief, can we use the nuclear bomb to destroy the wormhole again? This time, we can try to use a large nuclear bomb!”

“Oh, a large nuclear bomb?”

The old chief had a worried look on his face. Clearly, this weapon was not easy to deploy.

Compared to small nuclear bombs, large-scale nuclear bombs focused on large-scale destructive attacks and aimed to kill in one blow.

However, the power of a large-scale nuclear bomb was extremely shocking. Even if it exploded at the bottom of the sea thousands of meters deep, it could still cause a huge tsunami.

It might even trigger the eruption of volcanoes at the bottom of the ocean and form a new earthquake zone by rupturing the tectonic plates.

The resulting chain reaction would lead to an irreversible disaster.

Therefore, when he heard the suggestion to use a large-scale nuclear bomb, the old chief immediately looked troubled.

“Wu Mo, a large-scale nuclear bomb is indeed powerful, but using it may incur the wrath of nature,” he advised.

Wu Mo understood what the old chief meant.

The “wrath of nature” referred to triggering a series of potential natural disasters, which might be no less powerful than a large nuclear bomb.

Moreover, such disasters would affect humans directly.

“Old Chief, aside from using a large nuclear bomb, we have no other way to eliminate this wormhole!” Wu Mo shook his head helplessly.

In his mind, he had another idea—if he could achieve controllable nuclear fusion, he could concentrate the power on the wormhole and destroy it completely!

That way, it would not cause radiation, pollution, or a huge explosion.

It would be like a pistol with a silencer. It would still be powerful, but it would not draw much attention.

He could apply the same principle to destroy the wormhole.

However, controllable nuclear fusion seemed out of reach at the moment. Wu Mo found that even with the system’s power, it was impossible to achieve it in the short term.

Did this mean that the battle with the sea monsters would be drawn out?

At this moment, the old chief suddenly pointed at a map on the screen.

Each red dot on the map represented an area that had been attacked by sea monsters.

Wu Mo examined the map and discovered that the information on it was unusually detailed.

The color of each dot was different, which hinted at the different degrees of invasion by the sea monsters.

The lighter dots indicated that those cities had only been attacked by sea monsters from a distance once. They might have been affected by some waves, but they never experienced substantial damage.

The darker dots meant that the areas had been attacked by sea monsters many times.

Dark red spots, such as Shannan, Shen Gang, and Dongzhou on the southeastern coast of China, were the hardest hit areas of the sea monsters.

However, there were very few such cases abroad.

The dark red dots on the map were centered on the southeastern coast of China and radiated in all directions.
