The Last Sentinel

The first article of the Human Alliance Covenant states that absolute fairness belongs to the saint, but the Human Alliance has no saint; the Human Alliance only has relative fairness.

Each member of the Human Alliance receives benefits solely based on their battle merits.

Without military achievements, nothing else matters.

In this formula for calculating combat merits and benefits, the difference between mech pilots with mechs and ordinary containment combat personnel without mechs is not negligible, but it's almost like heaven and earth.

For example, the Battle of Tokyo.

The Human Alliance mobilized 157 containment teams, with over 5000 combat personnel, including the Hero-level team "Martial Breaker", 6 S-level teams, and various other teams, logistics, ground support, etc.

The credit for this victory goes primarily to the Destroyer Crimson and the Sentinel.

Ye Feng directly killed the [Samurai Maru]. According to the rules of the Human Alliance, Ye Feng and the [Crimson Destruction] will receive 30% of the battle merits!

Compared to Ye Feng's contribution ratio, [Martial Arts Breaking the Border] and the 6 S-level teams combined only account for 10%.

[Kunpeng] Commander Zhao only gets 5%.

This shows that mech pilots can accumulate a massive amount of combat merits in battle.

Therefore, a common occurrence within the Human Alliance is that a mech pilot who completes a mission after a single sortie can become an elite.

By completing two sorties and successfully completing the mission, you can become a captain.

Successfully completing three sorties will qualify you for the position of deputy director of the base's combat department.

After five or more sorties, one can be removed from the front-line combat post and become the base's de facto second-in-command in charge of combat.

Mech pilots who have participated in more than ten sorties can directly enter headquarters based on their combat resumes and become high-ranking cadres under targeted training, to take over the positions of the old men of the Human Alliance in the future.

However, in reality, the average survival time of a Human Alliance mech pilot is 2.2 missions.

Few mech pilots are able to sortie three times.

Not to mention more than ten times.

Looking across the Eastern land, since the 1999 planet defense war, there is only one mecha pilot who has achieved more than 10 combat records, and that is Haotian of Nantianmen. Haotian is the only mecha pilot who has risen to the rank based on his combat merits. He is also the most authoritative and influential person in Nantianmen. The underlying color of human supremacy is the supremacy of strength.

Whether it's your personal ability or your ability to pilot a mech, it all counts as your ability.

Those who can pilot mechs are undoubtedly a cut above those who cannot.

This is why, when Old Man Wu heard that mechs could be piloted by ordinary people without requiring intelligence, he became so excited that he turned into a grandson.

Someone like Old Man Wu, if you give him a mecha, you don't even need to match it with a very powerful special move, just give him a chainsaw sword, and in today's Tokyo battle, the old man could take down [Samurai Maru] and [Yamata no Orochi] all by himself with just his mecha.

In this way, the old man could get more than 50% of the battle merits in the entire Battle of Tokyo!

For Wubudu, war was like picking up money!

With mechs, I, Wubudu, will no longer cower in the face of large-scale battlefields, but will strike with full force, one punch to take down a kid, one sword to take down a monster. Who dares to bare their teeth at me? Mechs will descend from the sky, and justice will be served!

"Xiao Ye, are you sure you can do it?"

"Don't accidentally turn it into a mental illness!"

Wu Budu stared wide-eyed at the screen in front of him, where mathematical formulas were flipping wildly like stocks.

Real Analysis, Functional Analysis, Foundations of Abstract Algebra, General Formulas of Probability, Functional Analysis II, Foundations of Harmonic Analysis, Introduction to Dynamical Systems, Advanced Probability, Large Equations in Mathematical Statistics, Complex Analysis and Several Complex Variables, Theory of Partial Differential Equations, Formulas for Nonlinear Functions, Riemannian Geometry, Algebraic Topology, Formulas for Algebraic Surfaces, Parallel Upharmonicity, The Complete Langlands Program, Three Formulas for Quantum Fields...

Ye Feng's pupils were filled with a golden halo, and his ten fingers tapped on the keyboard, creating afterimages as formulas flashed by.

The progress bar at the bottom of the screen changes rapidly: 5%, 15%, 30%...99%!

Ye Feng suddenly deleted everything, leaving the screen blank.

Wu Budu panicked, "No, Xiao Ye, what are you doing? Why did you delete them all?!"

Ye Feng said calmly, "It's very simple. You can't build something new without destroying it. I showed it too much stuff, and with its current brain capacity, it's hard for it to accept it all in a short time. So I deleted it and left a backup in its database. When its brain reaches its peak, it will build a whole new framework from scratch, redefining truth, proof, existence, structure, intelligent logic, and the original code of the machine soul. In this way, it will have its own evolutionary direction and become a true machine soul with its own consciousness, independent and not held hostage by anyone or any force."

The Martial Arts Path, "It sounds like the same as the high realm of martial arts: no destruction, no construction. After reconstruction, you become a new individual, with boundless horizons and starlight stretching before you, free to roam as you please!"

Ye Feng snapped his fingers. "That's right. A machine soul is an independent individual. Every machine soul is different. It's like reading the same book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but everyone's reaction is different. It's the same set of mathematical theories and models. I'll leave a backup for each mecha. They will choose different evolutionary paths in the future. This kind of machine soul, this kind of race, is the real help that can accompany Homo sapiens out of the solar system and into all the worlds."

Putting aside grand principles, Wu Budu understood that Ye Feng hadn't set up a backdoor for his mecha, and even said that the mecha's future path was up to it.

For a powerful figure like Wu Budu, this was an immense gesture of courtesy and gratitude.

Wu Budu looked at Ye Feng and said, "I won't thank you for your great kindness. I'll just say one thing: if you ever need anything from me, Young Master Ye, just ask. I'll risk my life for you."

Upon hearing Wu Budu's words, Ye Feng said without any politeness, "Hey, old man, you said it yourself! To be honest, I have a request right now."

Wu Budu, brimming with heroic spirit, shouted, "Speak!"

Ye Feng chuckled and said, "There's a mecha manufacturing base in Tokyo. It used to be the home port for three Fusang mechas. Now all three mechas are destroyed, and the ground war has ended. This mecha home port has a good foundation, and I really like it. If possible, give me this mecha home port! How about it!"

Wu Budu sighed inwardly, "This kid is really ruthless, his eyes are really sharp, and he really knows how to talk!"

Mech homeports, how many are there on the entire planet Earth?

Looking across Dongda University, there are only three mecha home ports: Luoyang, South China Sea, and Polar Region.

Looking across the entire Western University, there are only two home ports: Atlantis and Area 51.

While Fusang's quality may not be on par with the two major powers of East and West, it is definitely among the top of the second tier.

This delicious-looking place is probably coveted by many people!

Dongda wants it, and Xida is also eyeing it. If you just say you want it, what am I supposed to do?

If I can be the master of East University, can I also be the master of West University?

Ye Feng continued, "Right now, we've only moved Titan's data to a temporary server. This server can't stay for long; it can only be used for three to five months at most. During this time, we must build Titan's mech core as soon as possible, including the engine, reactor, brain chip, memory, and neural network simulation architecture! Putting all these miscellaneous things together is no small project."

"I can only start working once I get my hands on Fusang's mecha homeport as soon as possible."

"After all, you understand, if we send the construction of Titan to East University or West University to queue up, who knows how many mechs are already being upgraded and modified ahead of their home ports! If it's delayed for a few months, and the Titan's storage server expires, causing the consciousness source electrical signal to escape, then the mech we've already acquired will be gone!"

At this point, Ye Feng's lips curled up, as if to say, "Old man, you're already on the hot seat, there's no way out for you. The Fusang Mecha Home Port will definitely be mine!"

Wu Budu was incredibly fierce. He threatened, "You dare threaten me? I'll kill you!"

But when Wu Budu looked at the Titan's handwriting on the screen in front of him: Boss Wu, the Sentinel is right. Although this memory can store my consciousness signals, I can't think too much and can only sleep. If I sleep for a long time, I'm afraid I will lose my memory.

Wu Budu felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

This tough, martial arts-loving man, who had never been in a relationship or married and whose heart was devoted to martial arts, was touched at this moment by the most tender part of his heart.

My martial arts cultivation is very high, and my lifespan is far beyond that of ordinary people. I can't live my long later years without a companion!

Mechs are like your life partners, true combat companions!

After taking a deep breath, Wu Budu said with a firm look in his eyes, "You take King Arthur and the others directly to the mobile armor port. I'll take care of everything else."

Ye Feng clapped his hands and said, "Elder Wu is righteous and noble. From now on, we juniors will follow Elder Wu's lead. The direction Elder Wu points to is the distant goal I, Ye Feng, will strive for!"

Wu Budu kicked Ye Feng: "Stop acting all innocent here! Take my old buddy to the Fusang Mech Home Port! Later, write down the parts you need in an order, and I'll exchange them directly with my merit points! I want to see the [Titan] mech before the final battle in Perfect City!"

Ye Feng saluted and said, "I guarantee the mission will be completed! I guarantee that I will redesign the framework, firepower, teleportation network, and firepower matching of the Crimson Annihilation and Titan to my high standards! I guarantee that the Titan will be ready before the final battle of Perfect City!"

Wu Budu took a deep breath, then turned around abruptly, pointing to the two support teams, and said, "You are all mecha repairmen. As a senior officer of the Human Alliance, I order you to follow the Sentinels and take over the Fusang Mecha Home Port to assist the Sentinels in their upcoming work!"

The two support team members' eyes lit up. Wow, what a great thing!

You should know that they were originally logistics and supply personnel, not combat personnel, so they had few combat achievements and many hard jobs.

Following Sentinel is a great leader and a rising star in the Human Alliance. With such a boss on the rise, life is bound to be better and better!

"clear!"

"Rest assured, sir, we will certainly live up to your expectations and complete the mission!"

Wu Budu leaped into the air and disappeared into the sky.

Ye Feng then dialed Arthur's communication channel, "Arthur! Go to the Fusang Mecha Home Port, yes! Yes, that Kawasaki Home Port where they produce three mechs, it's been renamed Sentinel Home Port now, it's our territory! Hurry, don't let the Japanese bomb it!"

On the other end of the phone, the wind howled, and King Arthur's voice came through: "Understood. I'm already on my way. No one can destroy the mech homeport in my hands!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng waved to the people around him, "What are you looking at! Clean up the battlefield, push the Titan's remains into the sea, we're heading to the mech home port. Hurry up, don't let those Japanese devils blow up my mech home port!"

"Yes! Hurry up! I'm off to my new job!"

"quick!"

"..."

As the seawater churned and night fell, the Titanoboa's body slowly sank into the ocean with the waves.

The old Titanoboa is gone.

A new Titan armor is being born.

Flesh and blood are weak and vulnerable, but glorious evolution is possible.

At the pinnacle of life, machinery ascends.
