Chapter 923 - 202: Furious Wind (Part 6)

This Radiation Protection Mecha is indeed advanced, advanced enough to surprise Lille a bit:

He has seen products with this design concept, but Mecha designed to handle massive radiation has very obvious diminishing marginal returns when stacking costs, so most such products can only achieve radiation protection efficiency of 40~70%.

Considering the social importance variability of the person needing to wear such equipment, it is generally unlikely to exceed this range.

But the Mechas stored in the IEC warehouse are different; these Mechas virtually stack all possible radiation protection technologies, from the comprehensive interior environment control injection system just now, the liquid discharge system to wash off radioactive dust, and the most core protection system:

High-density metal plates for Gamma Rays protection, hydrogen-rich materials for neutron protection, and a composite layered structure mixed with fiberglass, acrylic, and aluminum also supplement the secondary radiation protection; each material boasts excellent thickness—

At the same time, the internal components and power system of the Mecha are excellent, almost equivalent to Military Mecha of the same volume, aiming to complete special operations based on the enormous force of the operator while driving these thick armors.

Almost can be considered as a no-cost special equipment...

Impossible to appear in Night City, even in Europe, it’s absolutely not feasible to be promoted on a large scale, more like a few prototypes matched with advanced factories.

In a factory far hotter and more terrifying than Hell, everything silently burning, flames only seem the brightest but not the biggest issue—

Unfortunately, with three fully armed super industrial mechas faced, radiation that can really harm the three is less than one percent...

Yet this is still a very high number, if too long, irreversible damage may still occur.

[Alina: Quick action, Davarich, this Mecha is the best industrial mecha I’ve seen! Damn Jilafa didn’t mention they also sell such things... but radiation levels are still high!]

Bam!

Alina punched away the rubble blocking the path, the three of them carried together the collapsed door beam, crawling through the passage.

[Elliot: Why call me Davarich?]

[Alina: Haha, it just fits the occasion!]

Beep—

Sss...

As the three stepped into the passage leading to the power room, the factory’s speakers started sounding, filling with a buzz of current, making one suspect if the announcement system was short-circuiting.

But soon, a human voice emanated from the speaker, making them realize someone was speaking.

[Sss... ah... it’s you... traitors...]

[Fuck your mom, you betrayed the workers!]

The inferior sound system almost turned into a piercing shriek, wandering in the high-temperature Hell, as if truly the shriek of a Demon from Hell.

In the empty factory, everything burning, corpses and wreckage everywhere, such a bizarre sharp scream unsettling—

And what was said inside made one even more perplexed...

Elliot was furious!

"You fucking bastard, you blew up so many people, you say I betrayed the workers?!"

Killed so many people, it’s you who fucking betrayed the workers! For what? Just to showcase your technical prowess?!"

[It’s you!]

[It’s you colluding with those dog bastards!]

Crash!

The contaminated coolant broke through pipes and walls, scalding polluted water overflowed along the passage.

[Munemasa: Organic coolant, boiling point 170 degrees Celsius, and polluted; without this Mecha it would be really impossible to pass.]

[Munemasa: Go straight through.]

With the prompt, Elliot stepped directly onto the scalding polluted water.

[Haha... those Mechas worn by you? Indeed, facades only reserved for leaders...]

"Damn you, if I were the leader I’d call in an airstrike to flatten you..."

[You wouldn’t dare, because the nuclear technology used here is advanced; IEC has spent countless funds building such an experimental nuclear power plant; they don’t know why I can detonate here...]

[So you came here, wanting to know how I did it...]

[Wanting to know how I detonated that scum...]

Whoosh!

Scalding steam sprayed onto the Mecha surface, but the people inside just felt some local temperature rise.

Toxic gas spread along the broken pipes, completely filling the path forward; conventional industrial protection and filtering systems were no longer able to filter these exhaust and toxins.

Still the merit of the Mecha, almost turning the forward work into a smooth path.

[Haha... you won’t make it, soon the factory pressure will reach the threshold for a second explosion, and then...]

"Madman!"

Elliot cursed angrily; thoughts filled with those outside cheering for him, providing support for him.

The three couldn’t help but quicken their pace, the HUD’s filter system load and radiation absorption amount constantly approaching the limits—

Everything in this world has limits, Mechas are even more so.

This seemed like a charge without return, Elliot and the three just sped up their actions...

Soon, they reached the blocked door.

The blast door had been deformed by the explosion.

"You’re cowering inside? Wait for death you damn lunatic, wait for us to get in..."

The three reached the crack in the alloy explosion-proof wall together, forcefully tearing open the crack—

"Once I get in, you bastard are dead...!"

Bam!

Elliot exerted too much force, landing on the ground, Alina immediately helped Elliot up, preventing him from soaking too long in the polluted water.

"Damn..." Elliot cursed again after standing up, "Hidden so deep..."

Hidden deep, is it?

Even Munemasa who isn’t good at conspiracy felt Elliot’s judgment was a bit too emotional.

Entering the factory was merely thrilling passing through the molten salt around the factory, but even that was resolved with the support of surrounding factories; since boarding the Mecha, collapsed buildings on the road, flaming ruins, and flowing waste water could only be deemed troublesome but essentially a smooth path.

IEC’s industrial park is super large; although there was an explosion, there should still be a lot of equipment usable...

If this cyber madman can even cause an explosion in such a maximum security nuclear reactor, why can’t he detonate other equipment?

Too easy.

And after hearing the guy’s speech, a significant doubt arose:

He said these Mechas were only for leaders, meaning if Mechas were illicitly activated before the explosion, IEC would have internally purged illegal users long ago.

This means he can’t operate Mecha, enter the power room for operation...

But according to the environmental detection system feedback, without operating Mecha, humans couldn’t last an hour inside here before organ failure and instant death—

Now just 28 minutes since the explosion occurred, if the person were inside, how could it still be speaking?

Trap?

Munemasa just wanted to say something when they saw Sevens directly step over the cracked wall surface, dashed inside first!

However...

No unexpected accidents happened.
