Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

More than ten days have passed since the Kirielod attack.

In recent days, the members of the GUTS team have made the use of the Tiga Armor a part of their daily training.

Shen Yun stood outside, recording data on the Victory Team members' use of the Tiga Armor.

"Daigo, it's almost time. We should go on patrol." Shinjo glanced at the clock on his wrist, stood up from his seat outside the training ground, and said to Daigo.

"Understood." Daigo replied, then turned to look at Shen Yun, who was recording data. After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind, quickly walked to Shen Yun's side, and asked:

"Dr. Shen, I have a question for you."

"Problem? What problem?"

"Regarding the spark prism, why did the doctor design it to be this shape?" Daigo asked, puzzled.

"Oh, the reason I designed it this way is to match the characteristics of Ultraman Tiga. When the wings of the Spark Prism are spread out, they look a lot like Ultraman Tiga's chest armor, don't they?" Shen Yun glanced at Daigo, smiled slightly, and said casually.

"Oh, I see." Daigo nodded as if he suddenly understood, bowed slightly, and then ran out with Shinjo.

Shen Yun watched Daigu's departing figure and revealed a mischievous smile.

This honest kid was indeed frightened.

Shen Yun lowered his head, glanced at the different data he had recorded over the past few days on how each person performed when using the Tiga Armor, then gently closed the notebook and chuckled, "The relevant data has been recorded almost completely. It's about time to make a decision."

Shen Yun left the training ground and went to the director's office.

Pushing open the door, Shen Yun strode in.

Besides Sawai, Yoshioka and Nanbara were also present in the office.

"This is the performance demonstrated by the GUTS team members when using the Tiga armor." Shen Yun placed the notebook on the table, pulled up a chair, and sat down, saying, "Regarding the selection of the alpha wolf for the 'Hunter Project,' I recommend Vice Captain Munakata."

"Vice Captain Munakata? His performance doesn't seem particularly outstanding," said Staff Officer Nanbara, flipping through the data in his notebook and adjusting his glasses.

"While Vice-Captain Munakata's performance wasn't particularly outstanding, his abilities were consistently strong. The 'Hunter Project' was established to deal with invaders like the Kirieloids. As the alpha wolf, one must not only lack obvious weaknesses but also possess exceptional adaptability and tactical command skills. The only suitable candidate in the Victory Team is Vice-Captain Munakata," Shen Yun said.

Yoshioka leaned back in his chair, fanning himself leisurely with a folding fan, without participating in the discussion.

His police department is the real beneficiary of this "Hunter Project".

Once the standard exoskeleton production line is completed, police officers will be able to be equipped with standard exoskeletons on a large scale.

At that time, the defense capabilities of the entire TPC will increase significantly.

After a period of discussion, Munakata was tentatively chosen as the alpha wolf candidate for the "Hunter Project".

After the small meeting ended, Shen Yun returned to the Science Bureau.

Upon returning, Shen Yun saw TPC's logistics department delivering what appeared to be fragments of a monster's body to the Science Bureau.

The one who received the monster's body fragments was Reiko Kashiwamura.

When Reiko Kashiwamura saw Shen Yun, a smile appeared on her intellectually beautiful face, and she said:

"Dr. Shen, you're back just in time. I'll leave the analysis of this monster fragment to you."

Shen Yun, who had just returned from the training ground and was inexplicably drafted into the army, was also full of doubt.

"Monster fragments?"

Reiko Kashiwamura explained, "Not long ago, a space monster attacked the high-purity energy storage base. The GUTS team brought back a fragment of the monster from the scene, and we need to analyze its composition. Dr. Shen, you are quite good at this."

"A high-purity energy storage base..." Upon hearing this, Shen Yun immediately recalled the relevant plot.

Composite Monster, Rigadron.

Originally, it was an unknown luminous body without emotions or any physical form, capable of absorbing energy.

After absorbing the Jupiter probe Jeep 3 and its crew, it gained their emotions and knowledge, and created a monster entity that landed on Earth in search of energy.

Moreover, during the Dyna era, this monster was found to have the same biological reaction as the cosmic sphere Scia, and was suspected to be a Scia synthetic beast.

This monster is similar to the Scia chimera, but also different.

The Sphia Orb actually has a physical form and also possesses self-awareness.

But unlike the unknown luminous object that absorbed Jeep 3, it has no physical form and no emotions.

Therefore, it is unlikely to be Sphia.

"I understand." Shen Yun walked into the Science Bureau, and the fragments of Ligadron's body were moved into the instrument by the logistics personnel.

This fragment of the monster is almost entirely made of metal, with some fleshy tissue resembling that of a living organism.

Shen Yun put on protective gloves and began operating the instruments to analyze the monster fragments.

Soon, the analysis results regarding the monster fragments came out.

Shen Yun took off his gloves and handed the analysis report to Reiko Kashiwamura, saying, "This monster fragment contains components of the outer shell of the Jeep 3, but its hardness is several times greater than that of the Jeep 3."

"Moreover, in addition to the outer wall made of the shell of the Jeep 3, this cosmic monster also has biological tissues that resemble flesh and blood. These biological tissues can enhance the defense of the body surface after absorbing energy."

"In other words, this monster, having absorbed high-purity energy, has raised its outer defenses to a terrifying level. With the GUTS team's current firepower, they simply cannot break through this cosmic monster's defenses."

"How could this be?!" Reiko Kashiwamura took the analysis report, and her expression turned slightly grim as she looked at the data on it.

"Furthermore, I suspect that this cosmic monster was transformed from Jeep 3," Shen Yun added.

"Transformed from Jeep 3?"

Shen Yun pulled up photos of Ligadron and Gypta 3 for comparison, saying, "This is a photo of the monster taken by Victory Flying Swallow 1, and this is a photo of Gypta 3. The similarity between the two is nearly 80%, so it's hard not to have such suspicions."

"This news is too shocking; we must report it." Reiko Kashiwamura quickly left the Science Bureau.

Shen Yun didn't pay much attention to it, but quietly looked at the analysis results of the Ligadron fragment in his hand. He couldn't help but turn his gaze to the monster fragment, or more precisely, the biological tissue on the fragment.

"The biological tissue on this fragment is still alive..."

"Ligadron should be a bio-weapon similar to the Scia chimera, but it is fundamentally different from the Scia chimera." Shen Yun's eyes revealed a hint of contemplation.

Yes, Ligadron is a bio-weapon similar to the Sphia chimera.

However, the unknown luminous entity that merged with Gypto 3 was not Sphia.

If it were the Sphere of Specia, the consciousness of Dr. Ezaki and the other two would probably not even exist.

Moreover, this unknown luminous object transformed into a monster because it sensed the fear of Dr. Ezaki and his companions.

What if this unknown luminous object detects not fear, but other more positive and optimistic emotions?

What will this unknown luminous object become?

Will it become something like Ultraman?

After all, in his memory, the three astronauts of Jeep 3 eventually transformed into life forms of light and flew into space.

Or perhaps, this unknown luminous body simply cannot comprehend human positive and optimistic emotions?

Just as Ligadron cannot understand the feelings humans have for their relatives.

However, these questions are ones that no one can answer for him.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yun stopped delving into the matter and instead focused his energy on another issue.

How can we utilize the biological tissues in Ligadron's body?

After all, once Ligadron absorbed all the energy, its body surface defenses were so strong that even Tiga's Delasium Beam could not harm it.

If this characteristic of Ligadron could be applied to mechs, the mechs' defensive capabilities would be significantly enhanced.

At least, with the materials available on Earth today, there is no alloy material that can compare to it.
