Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

"Once the gates of armed conflict are opened, it's difficult to close them again," Staff Officer Nan Yuan couldn't help but say.

"I am well aware of this as well. Here are the analysis results regarding Melba's body, please take a look."

Shen Yun pulled up a series of data charts, pointed to the various data points on the virtual image, and said:

"Melba's skin has amazing defensive capabilities; with our current weapons and equipment, we simply don't have the ability to kill this monster."

"Aren't there giants too? The prophecy says that giants are the protectors of the earth."

"The prophecy also said that the giants once left the earth. Who can guarantee that the giants will not disappear again? Besides, the giants are not human nannies. We can't rely on the giants to handle everything," Shen Yun retorted.

"In the end, the Earth must be protected by humanity's own strength; giants can only be considered a form of insurance."

"Well said!" Tetsuji Yoshioka praised from his seat.

Shen Yun turned to look at Ze Jing and said, "Director Ze Jing, times have changed. We should indeed develop weapons and equipment now, otherwise we will find it difficult to cope with the crises that will occur in the future."

"We want to develop weapons and equipment, but we cannot violate the founding principles of our TPC, which is that conflicts between humans should never be resolved by force. This is indeed a difficult problem."

"In this regard, I think we can add a restriction to the use of weapons and equipment—the use of force should only be permitted when facing an invasion of Earth by monsters or aliens, and should never be used for disputes between humans."

"At the same time, we must avoid large-scale arming and only arm teams specifically designed to deal with monsters or alien invaders. For example, special operations teams like the GUTS team."

"That's one way." After thinking for a moment, Sawai nodded in agreement.

This compromise reassured the peace-loving doves while silencing the hawks.

Although a series of problems will still arise afterward.

However, given the current situation, it is already a very good solution.

"Please raise your hands to vote on Dr. Shen's proposal."

Sawai looked at everyone in the conference room and was the first to raise her hand.

Although he largely agreed with Shen Yun's proposal, TPC was not entirely his own domain.

This proposal is good, but it needs the approval of the majority.

"I agree with Dr. Shen's idea." Tetsuji Yoshioka closed the folding fan in his hand and raised his hand.

"That's definitely a good idea, I agree."

I agree.

"Abstain!"

Everyone in the meeting room raised their hands to vote.

Zejing glanced at the list and found that the vast majority of people agreed with Shen Yun's proposed method.

"Let's settle on that then."

After saying that, Sawai looked at Reiko Kashiwamura and said:

"I'll leave the modification plan for the Victory Swallow to Dr. Kashiwamura."

"Yes!" Reiko Kashiwamura nodded.

However, despite agreeing, she still had some headaches about the modifications to the Victory Flying Swallow.

For the Victory Flying Swallow, an early warning aircraft designed for immediate response, adding weapons was a very difficult task.

It would be better to redesign a new model.

"Director Sawai, I think that relying solely on the Victory Flying Swallow is not enough to deal with the monsters," Shen Yun said again.

"Oh? Dr. Shen, do you have a better solution?" Upon hearing this, Ze Jing immediately looked at Shen Yun and asked.

"Yes, this is a plan to withstand immense power, I call it..."

"The Rim of the Pacific Project!" Shen Yun said, enunciating each word clearly.

"The Rim of the Pacific Project? Could you elaborate?" Sawai asked gently.

Shen Yun manipulated the virtual imagery, displaying mecha blueprints filled with various parameters in front of everyone in the conference room.

"In simple terms, the Pacific Rim Project is led by the TPC Far East Headquarters and unites TPC branches in various countries in the Asia-Pacific region to create a huge force of our own and establish a joint Pacific defense line to jointly resist monsters and alien invaders that may appear in the future."

"Will this... work?" Sawai asked, looking at the mecha design drawings on the virtual projection, which were filled with various parameters.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the mecha blueprints that Shen Yun had shown.

Instead, they questioned whether these humanoid mechs could truly defeat the monsters.

After all, whether from a physical point of view or from a convenience point of view, humanoid mechs are actually the least scientific.

Because in terms of performance such as impact surface, mobility, speed, and firepower projection, humanoid mechs are no match for the strongest land-based weapon form—the tank.

"Theoretically speaking, it is feasible," Shen Yun nodded and explained.

"Based on my analysis of Melba's corpse, some of humanity's conventional weapons are likely ineffective against these powerful monsters. However, based on my observations, I have found that the giant's fist and foot attacks can also damage the monsters."

"This shows that the monster's defense against physical attacks is relatively weak. In addition, I extracted an element from Melba's corpse that can easily destroy the monster's cellular tissue and cause damage to the monster."

"An element?" Sawai asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, these are the elements left over after the giant used a beam attack to destroy the monster," Shen Yun explained, bringing up an image of Tiga Sky Type using the Lampard Beam to destroy Melba.

"I call this element the Zepelion element."

"Unfortunately, this element is too rare and cannot be synthesized artificially. It cannot currently be used as laser weapons or ammunition; it can only be used in melee weapons, which minimizes the loss of the Zepelion element. Moreover, there is no need to worry about large-scale armament when creating such humanoid mechs. This is why I proposed the Rim of the Pacific Project."

"I see." Sawai nodded slightly; he understood now.

"When can we start building the mecha, and how long will it take?" Sawai asked.

"As long as we have the materials and enough manpower, we can start anytime, and it won't take more than a year," Shen Yun replied after thinking for a moment.

Shen Yun remembered it clearly: the first generation of Jaegers in Pacific Rim was built by Yukon in just over three months.

Although the mecha design blueprints in his hands were already for the sixth generation of mechas, and had been improved by alien technology.

With his supervision, and as long as there are enough people, it will take no more than a year to build it up.

The Ultraman Tiga storyline, from beginning to end, will take at least three years.

If it's only a year, you won't miss too much.

"I understand." Sawai nodded, then addressed the people in the conference room:

"Regarding Dr. Shen's proposed Pacific Rim plan, please raise your hands to vote."

After saying that, Sawai was the first to raise his hand.

"Agreed!" Yoshioka naturally gave his full support to the plan.

"I agree!"

"I abstain."

After a show of hands vote among senior executives at TPC Far East headquarters, Shen Yun's Pacific Rim Plan was successfully approved.

Once the future development direction of TPC was determined, the rest of the discussion became much simpler.

The impromptu meeting ended quickly.

Before leaving, Ze Jing found Shen Yun and asked him to provide him with a complete plan.

When he holds the TPC Supreme Staff meeting, he can persuade the General Staff of the other TPC branches to agree to the plan.

Shen Yun had anticipated this and handed over the pre-prepared plan and report to Ze Jing.

After leaving the conference room, Reiko Kashiwamura approached Shen Yun: "Dr. Shen, please wait a moment."

"Dr. Kashiwamura, is there something you need?" Shen Yun stopped and looked at Kashiwamura Reiko, who was wearing a white TPC uniform and exuded intellectual beauty, and asked.

"It's about the weapons system on the Victory Flying Swallow. I'd like to discuss it with you. It would be even better if you could give me some suggestions," Reiko Kashiwamura said with a smile.
