Chapter 57: Support rate, remote sensing parallel world
Two days later.
"Cheers!"xN
[]~(￣▽￣)~*
In the evening, the XIG team members gathered together and held a party in the canteen of the air base.
After defeating the giant beast Zolim and repelling another large-scale invasion by the Destruction Recruitment Body, and there were no casualties on XIG's side, it was natural to celebrate.
In order to reward the team members who fought bravely, Staff Officer Chiba specially held this barbecue party and invited a well-known chef.
The chef with a white beard stood next to the grill, flipping several roast chickens skillfully. The high temperature made the yellow crispy skin of the chicken overflow with oil droplets, and sprinkled with cumin, which made the chicken smell fragrant.
A popular talk show from KCB TV station was playing on the TV next to the wall.
The beauty of the king, female reporter Yoshii Reiko talked eloquently to several guests:
"This time, thanks to the efforts of the three Ultraman and XIG, we were able to destroy that terrifying giant beast. We once again defeated the invasion of the Destruction Recruitment Body, and the general public was protected from harm..."
She enthusiastically affirmed the contributions of Ultraman and XIG, and did not hesitate to praise them.
The guests who were guests rarely made any sarcastic comments or played devil's advocate this time, but basically agreed with Reiko Yoshii's views.
"The sun is out in the west, but these commentators did not mock us, but even praised XIG."
Okawara, a member of the Lightning Team, took a bite of chicken wings and said with a little joy and surprise.
Captain Kajio took a sip of champagne and hummed:
"Perhaps we were just frightened by the giant beast. A dragon like that could easily destroy the entire Tokyo. If we hadn't eliminated Zolim, guys like them who can only talk on paper wouldn't have survived."
This battle was very violent and could be described as devastating.
Fortunately, the battlefield was in the wilderness, otherwise the casualties and economic losses would be unimaginable. With the size of the giant beast Zolim, just taking a few steps in the city would be a disaster.
The dragon was eliminated in time and failed to enter the city. The nearby citizens were just frightened and saved their lives even though they thought their lives were in danger. They were naturally grateful to Ultraman and XIG afterwards.
So this time many TV programs applauded XIG, after all, it is what the people want.
"It's the much-anticipated popularity voting session again. KCB TV station randomly selected more than 3,000 people on the street to vote for several Ultraman, XIG Team, and two ancient gods. You can choose them all. Here are the parties based on the votes.
popularity……"
On TV, host Reiko Yoshii announced the support rate of the Earth's guardians with a smile on her face.
A row of names and support rates appeared on the screen, and statistics from the fourth period were also noted.
Ultraman Nexus: Approval rate 91.6%.
Ultraman Gaia: Approval rate 84.1%.
Ultraman Agur: Approval rate 77.3%.
White Dragon Girl: support rate 83.5%
Renlong: support rate 23.1% (first shot, first counted).
XIG team: support rate 70.3%
———
"Wow, our XIG support rate has increased by a full 9 percentage points this time!"
Okawara, a member of the Lightning Team, slapped his legs and said excitedly.
According to the statistics of the third period last time, their support rate just passed the 60% passing line. Unexpectedly, this time it soared to over 70%.
Captain Yoneda of the Falcons immediately poured cold water on him and said:
"There is nothing to be proud of. This time, everyone's support rate has increased a lot. Our increase rate can only rank third, and our support rate is second to last."
Team player Kei Tadano of the Crows put down the spicy mutton skewers in his hand, curled his lips and said:
"This is the new addition of Renlong, otherwise XIG's support rate this time would still be last."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We're human beings. We don't have much mystery or supernatural power. It's normal for our popularity to be low."
Captain Kajio spread his hands helplessly.
He is personally quite satisfied with this support rate.
Although XIG can be regarded as a secret agency of the government and possesses the most advanced fighter jets and air bases in mankind, in terms of mystery, popularity and combat effectiveness, it is obviously not enough to compare with Ultraman.
"Why is the White Dragon Girl so popular? She's almost catching up with Ultraman Gaia in second place." Juri Mishima of the Crows said in confusion.
"Isn't it normal for her to be so popular?"
Qiao Ji held a toy in the shape of a white dragon and said with a smile, "The silver dragon is far more beautiful than the Ren dragon, and it can also transform into a human female form.
Although she always wears a helmet and mask, many people speculate that she is a stunning beauty.
Fortunately, this is a random interview and poll on the street. If I were to interview those fat losers, she would definitely be number one."
Everyone: "..."
It seems quite reasonable.
Bailong's appearance is very two-dimensional, and she can also transform into a tall, silver-haired lady. The appearance hidden under her mask is also very thought-provoking. She is simply the favorite of fat people.
In the eyes of many fat nerds who regard Paper Man as their wives, Ultraman and Team XIG are just a cloud, far less fragrant than the Dragon Girl.
Of course, if we go to the United States for statistics, Aguru's popularity will be higher than Gaia and White Dragon.
This famous scene of forcing the king to divide the sea took place in New York, and the classic lightsaber duel, which directly poked Uncle Sam's XP, made Ultraman Agul extremely popular in the United States.
"Nexus is still the most powerful, the most popular, basically ranked first all over the world." Captain Kajio said.
No one spoke.
Ultraman Nexus is truly outstanding now. The "Fat House Beloved" White Dragon Girl and the "Jedi Knight" Master Aguru are all eclipsed in the face of the invincible light of the sky.
Americans like Master Aguru so much that they don’t rank Agururu ahead of Nexus.
"I remember that Nexus's approval rating was very low at the beginning, but before he knew it, he overtook everyone."
Captain Daocheng of the Crows sat at the table with his chin in his hand, looking reminiscing.
When Nexus first appeared on the list, his approval rating ranked last.
Because Nexus saved the earth monster Kiru when he first appeared, he was suspected and feared by many people, so his popularity was very low.
The support rate of Nexus in the first phase was only 4.1%, which was very pitiful compared to Gaia's 63.8% support rate and Aguru's 58.4% support rate at that time.
At that time, the XIG team had a support rate of 16%, which shows how much the public disliked it.
But Nexus responded to all doubts with actions and convinced the people with his brilliant achievements.
"In addition to Nexus having the strongest combat power and turning the tide many times, I think it is also because many people have gradually changed their views on the monsters on earth, and therefore understand his original actions." Captain Kajio said.
"Well, White Dragon, Kiru and Renlong have undoubtedly helped humans. Once may be a coincidence, but helping multiple times shows their sincerity."
I Meng Speaks, and I very much recognize the efforts and contributions of Earth Monster.
People at XIG nodded in agreement.
Up to this point in the battle, it has become clear who is the enemy and who is the friend.
"Things are moving in a good direction, I'm very happy."
Staff Officer Chiba and Commander Shishi were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria drinking tea, listening to the discussion of the team members, with expressions of relief on their faces.
Commander Shishi nodded slightly.
Humans, Ultraman, Earth Monsters, all forces on Earth are more united and trust each other, which is a good thing.
"Captain Daocheng, how does it feel to lie on Ultraman's palm?"
Georgie suddenly came to the Crows' table and said curiously.
As soon as these words came out, the slightly noisy cafeteria immediately fell silent. Not to mention Captain Kajio and the others, even the white-bearded chef stopped temporarily and cast curious glances.
Being up close and personal with Ultraman is a very rare experience.
So far, no one has had this experience except Miho Inagi, who was rescued by Nexus during the crash.
Captain Daocheng found that almost everyone was looking at her, and felt a little embarrassed. He fiddled with Liu Hai with his bare hands, recalled for a moment, and said hesitantly:
"This...it's hard to say. On the one hand, I feel very small, like a mortal looking up to God. At the same time, I feel very warm, like waking up in the morning and facing the bright morning sun, and the light penetrates into the soul."
Well, it's a very special feeling that I will never forget.
Everyone was surprised, and some were even a little envious.
Team Lightning member Ohgawara muttered: "When I crashed once, Gaia saved me, but it was a pity that He caught the plane."
Everyone: "..."
I'm sorry to say that you are the only one with the most crashes at XIG.
"Speaking of which, it was very dangerous the day before yesterday. The fighter plane burned and exploded. I thought you were dead, captain."
The Ravens' player Tadano Tadano patted his chest, looking scared.
Captain Daocheng couldn't help but glared at her and said: "Although we are the Crow Team, don't be a crow."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Tadano Kei put on a pretty face, took the captain's hand, and said:
"I'm worried about you, captain. You were so good. It's a pity that you died. Fortunately, Nexus responded in time and was a hero to save the beauty. Otherwise, I would never see our beautiful and brave captain again."
"Um."
Mishima Juri nodded, leaned into the captain's ear, and said with a smile, "Captain, how does it feel to be saved by a hero? Do you want to commit yourself to it?"
Captain Daocheng's pretty face turned red, grabbed their ears, and scolded: "What have you two been thinking about all day long? Do you think this is filming the movie "King Kong"?"
XIG doesn't know much about the nature of Ultraman. A small amount of information is provided by White Dragon, but they are definitely not creatures in the conventional sense. This is the view of most people.
Captain Daocheng doesn't think humans can fall in love with Ultraman, although she does have a crush on Nexus now...
"Let go, Captain."
"We were wrong, we won't talk nonsense next time."
The two female team members immediately begged for mercy.
They saw that their captain was always distracted these days, as if he was thinking about men, so they made a joke, but they didn't expect to offend the captain.
Captain Kajio withdrew his gaze, glanced around, and said:
"Strange, why isn't Renne here?"
I took a bite of chicken wings in my dream and said vaguely:
"Senior Ren returned to Geo Base last night. The design of the 'Breath Cannon' encountered a bottleneck due to energy supply issues, so he rushed back."
"I think XIG's current weapons are not weak enough, so he doesn't need to be so anxious." Captain Kajio cut a piece of grilled steak with a knife and fork and shook his head.
I dreamed and nodded.
He has learned about the relevant situation.
The existing weapons and equipment have reached a certain extreme, and there are many difficulties to overcome.
The most important issue is the energy supply. The chemical fuel or power source carried by the fighter jet is all converted into powerful light and emitted in one breath, and its power has its limit.
Currently, the power of the "Osiris Cannon" is so high that the Thor 2 large fighter plane can only fire two or three times at a time. If it fires more, it will run out of energy.
If you want to continue to improve the power of airborne light weapons, it is no longer a question of weapon design.
Unless a more efficient new energy source is developed, such as "fusion batteries" and "antimatter batteries", the power of fighter jet laser cannons has reached the limit of current human civilization.
How easy is it to develop new energy sources?
The controllable nuclear fusion project, even if Alchemy Star takes action, will take ten to eight years to complete.
………
Tokyo Minato-ku, Roppongi.
One thing I dreamed about was wrong. Renn was not in a hurry to develop new weapons and new energy sources. He hurriedly returned to the surface mainly to contact and defeat Dark Zork.
The dark clone is not honest. Without warning for three days, he dares to go to the house to reveal the tiles.
Renn sat in front of the computer and sent a message to Zork.
Ren: [What have you been doing recently? Did you do anything bad?]
Zucker: [Blackmailing passers-by by touching porcelain, cheating on people in casinos, committing suicide by jumping off a building to defraud insurance, does that count?]
Renn: "..."
(￣△￣；), you are really a fucking talent.
Zouk: [Okay, that's it, don't bother me if you have nothing to do. I can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute, so how can I have time to chat with you here?]
"..."
Nothing to say.
Ren closed the computer, walked to the sofa and lay down, resting his head on Nana's thigh. The smooth white skin of her thighs under her short skirt felt so good that he closed his eyes comfortably.
"I'm still not strong enough. If I hit Zolim, I feel like my body has been hollowed out."
Ren muttered a little sleepily.
The day before yesterday, in order to kill the giant beast Zolim, he forcibly released the power of the Winged Dragon of Ra to enhance the power of his special move "Ultimate Light Arrow". As a result, the load was a bit heavy and he was idle for two days afterwards.
Until today, that feeling of fatigue has slowly subsided.
After all, he has just stabilized the blue youth form, and there is still a long way to go before he can control the orange adult form of the three illusory gods at the same time.
"Master is already very strong, don't worry, this time we killed the giant beast Zolim, and it will be impossible for the monsters to destroy it in a short period of time and invade again on a large scale."
Nana reached out and gently touched his forehead, smiling softly.
"I hope so."
Ren yawned and said.
Nana lowered her head and kissed his lips, then picked up the orange on the table, peeled and tore a few pieces of orange flesh, and fed it to him.
Ren enjoyed her service, relaxed his mind, and soon fell asleep slowly.
Nana remained motionless, looking at his handsome face with gentle eyes.
Suddenly, his body began to glow, every hair strand and every inch of skin gradually became transparent, and the blood and flesh cells showed the color of starlight diamonds, like a divine body made of countless galaxies.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of light slowly penetrated from his body, and the three kinds of light particles, red, blue, and gold, were continuously intertwined into bonds and surrounded his whole body, exuding a mysterious aura.
Nana's beautiful eyes opened slightly, sensing that her master's life breath had not weakened, and she resisted waking him up.
She didn't understand what was happening.
But it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing…
In his sleep, Ren seemed to see something. There was an ancient ruin under the dark sea water. The temple and altar had collapsed, and thousands of giant stone statues with missing limbs were piled up haphazardly, like a huge tomb after the demise of civilization.
Endless light and darkness are sleeping in this ruins. After spending countless thousands of years in silence, the power of light begins to boil...
…………
A certain parallel universe.
Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, with rippling blue waves, an island sleeps alone here.
In this area, there were no schools of fish jumping out of the water, and no seabirds flying across the sky. Only a thin layer of clouds gathered in the sky for a long time, shrouding the sea and islands in darkness.
There is not a trace of light under the sea here. The rocky island is like a corpse that should have been buried long ago. For some reason, it has not rotted and is still alive.
Without any warning, a faint golden beam of light suddenly shot from high altitude into the sea and landed on the island shrouded in a strange black mist.
Swish——!
The next moment, golden radiance spurted out, just like the scorching sun melting ice and snow, dispersing most of the strange black fog that filled the island!
The light was restrained, and a young man stood on the island.
His black hair is flowing, and the contours of his facial features are as perfect as marble sculptures made by God. He has a good looks that can make a little girl scream. His pale golden eyes are sacred and majestic, as if they can reflect the essence of everything in the world.
The young man wore a black windbreaker, glanced around and walked towards a cave.
Evidence of the existence of civilization can be seen everywhere on the island, including broken stone pillars remaining on the beach, tall gates leaning on the cliffs, ancient murals engraved on boulders, and the remains of giant stone statues.
After he approached the cave, a white phantom appeared and stopped in front of him.
She is a woman, wearing a white witch costume, with loose silver hair, her charm is still there, her body exudes a faint light, and her exposed arms are somewhat transparent.
Her face is not unfamiliar to young people, Hui Jian, she just dyed her hair white.
So he stopped and looked at her calmly.
"Warrior of light, don't come any closer, your power will awaken the sleeping evil gods and dark giants." the white-haired witch warned.
