On the small island, Ling Feng first toured the island and found that besides himself, there was no one else.
"Ding! Detected that the host does not own a Jaeger, would you like to spend one hundred wish energy to get a Jaeger assembly opportunity?"
"Jaeger assembly?"
Ling Feng was a bit confused.
"Jaeger assembly, as the name suggests, the system provides materials for Jaeger assembly, similar to assembling building blocks. Haven't you seen Spider-Man: Far From Home, where Little Spider made his suit on the plane?"
"Oh! I understand. It's like that!"
Ling Feng immediately understood. One hundred wish energy for a Jaeger was incredibly worthwhile. After choosing "Yes," Ling Feng summoned Future.
"Future, hack into the world network and search for the blueprints of the Gipsy Danger, and don't get discovered."
Future: Understood.
Ling Feng's plan was to build a single-pilot Gipsy Danger.
Then, he would put on a performance of the real and fake Gipsy Danger.
Ling Feng looked at the interactive virtual projection in front of him and operated it simply at first.
He found that it was indeed like assembling building blocks.
Future: Master, the Gipsy Danger blueprints have been found.
"Very good, Future, can you make simple modifications to the blueprints?"
Future: Yes, Master. What do you want to add or remove?
"Hmm... add a powered flight system, and a chest-mounted laser beam like Tony's Iron Man suit."
Future: Understood, modifying blueprints.
Soon, Future projected the modified blueprints.
"Alright, let's get to work!"
Fortunately, he had Future, otherwise assembling a Jaeger by himself would have been a nightmare.
Moreover, Future, fearing he wouldn't understand, had specially added many simple labels.
However, Future had no physical form and could only assist him verbally with the construction.
By evening, Ling Feng had finally finished assembling the modified Gipsy Danger.
A Gipsy Danger, 80 meters tall, stood under the setting sun.
Its metallic sheen glistened in the sunlight.
"This is my own Jaeger!"
"Future, open the head-mounted hatch!"
The auxiliary systems of the Gipsy Danger were now entirely replaced by Future.
Future was now like Jarvis in Tony's Iron Man suit, able to assist him in controlling the Gipsy Danger.
Future: Received.
Soon, the head-mounted hatch of the Gipsy Danger opened. Ling Feng soared up and entered the cockpit through the hatch.
With Future's assistance, Ling Feng put on a black pilot suit, stepped into the pilot's seat, and activated the Jaeger.
Chirrr Chirrr.
The entire cockpit lit up.
Future: Master, the Jaeger is activated!
"Very good."
Ling Feng looked at the virtual projection in front of him, his face filled with excitement.
"Come on, super Gipsy Danger, first test flight!"
"Future, please play some background music."
Crimson Typhoon also understood the need to cooperate, immediately pinning down the Stryker with its three hands to give Ling Feng an opening to attack.
Leatherback felt its teammate was in danger and immediately shoved Alpha away.
Its back energy began to charge.
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
An electromagnetic pulse wave vibrated outwards with a vast range, instantly paralyzing all Jaegers except Gipsy Danger!
The cities on the mainland were not spared, their power grids failing and plunging into darkness.
Although Ling Feng was fine, he was still knocked back by the shockwave.
The most unfortunate were the Striker, who lost their mobility before they could even engage.
It was like buying a new skin, about to experience it, but suddenly your phone dies, and then you find out your house has no power too, making you furious.
Inside the Shatterdome base.
The sudden power outage threw everyone into a panic.
Command Center
"What's going on? What happened?"
Commander Stacker asked.
"The shockwave has disabled the circuits of all Ranger Jaegers."
"They've evolved again."
"This is no longer a defense mechanism, it's a weapon!"
Stacker said anxiously.
"Connect us to the Striker first."
This was a critical moment in the battle. A paralyzed power grid meant they couldn't get real-time combat information, which was fatal for command.
"It's no use, sir. The digital circuits of the Mark 5 Jaegers are all disabled."
"It will take two hours to switch to a backup system."
"All Jaegers use digital circuits!"
Cai Tiantong said helplessly.
Raleigh and the other walked over from behind.
"Marshal, not all of them are like that."
"Gipsy Danger uses analog circuits and nuclear power."
(PS: Analog circuits receive analog signals, and nuclear power is not affected by electromagnetic pulse waves.
However, digital circuits are, and although digital circuits are more versatile and convenient, their weakness is their susceptibility to electromagnetic pulse waves, leading to paralysis.)
Stacker pondered for a moment and then said.
"If I'm not mistaken, that Gipsy Danger should also use analog circuits, but one Jaeger against two Category 4 Kaiju is undoubtedly a pipe dream."
"So, you two must act immediately and go to support our allies! Do you understand?!"
"Understood!" x2
Meanwhile, on the sea battlefield.
Fists are no match for four hands.
Ling Feng was under immense pressure dealing with both Stryker and Leatherback simultaneously.
He had to be wary of Stryker's corrosive venom attacks and Leatherback's heavy punches.
Bang!!!
Ling Feng was sent staggering back several steps by Leatherback.
"Very well, in that case."
Ling Feng put away his twin swords. Although the Jaeger was cool and powerful, its drawback was its clumsiness.
Ling Feng's swordsmanship couldn't flow smoothly, so he decided to use that move.
"Hoo... Ip Man! Please enlighten me!"
Ling Feng assumed the Wing Chun starting stance.
Ip Man: MMP, this is Wing Chun, not Wing Chun!
"Roar!"
Leatherback was the first to attack, its fist smashing towards Ling Feng.
"Receive and deflect!"
Bang!
Ling Feng deflected almost half of Leatherback's power, then activated his elbow thrusters and punched Leatherback in the gut.
Clang.
Leatherback was sent flying and crashed into the sea.
"This is Chinese Kung Fu! The pilot of that Gipsy Danger is from China!"
Inside Crimson Typhoon, the three brothers from China, seeing Ling Feng's familiar movements, exclaimed excitedly.
