The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5415

Chapter 5415 Abnormal Event

New Constantinople VIII experienced an abnormal climate event that was not supposed to happen!

The Devos Ancient Clan that terraformed the planet and actively regulated its weather in order to produce a stable and comfortable living environment had no warning that a powerful lightning storm would form in a matter of minutes.

More and more authorities became alarmed as the data readings started to paint an increasingly more alarming picture.

The sheer amount of power accumulating inside those dark clouds had already exceeded the planetary records and started to soar into heights that shouldn't even be possible!

At first, the Devosans and other experts suspected that the storms were a form of sabotage or attack.

Perhaps a hidden alien infiltration force had deployed an exotic alien weather machine that caused the weather in a target area to turn into a major hazard.

What reinforced this suspicion in the minds of the local Terrans was that the epicenter of the storm happened to be situated right above Diandi Base! Every Terran knew the VIP who resided in this fairly remote location.

While the defenses of any decent Terran-built base should have been able to resist the power of many possible weather events, the abnormal and purposefully engineering lightning storm was starting to produce readings that were so incredulously high that the Terrans doubted whether their measuring systems were accurate.

Nonetheless, faulty readings or not, this strange lighting storm was definitely shaping up to be powerful enough to cause serious harm if not outright deaths if it formed above Sandan or any other population center!

As the Terrans began to activate emergency measures that were meant to disperse dangerous weather patterns as best as possible, their attempts to take action suddenly ceased when they received a notification from the Red Association.

The Bluejay Fleet up in orbit had sent a strong notification that warned the Terrans to stay away and refrain from interfering in what was currently happening.

"Those cretins! Are these mechers blind? This lightning storm can damage a large amount of infrastructure if it drifts over a nearby settlement."

"Be that as it may, the Red Association has issued a high-priority directive to us. This means that the mechers have signaled their willingness to take direct action to prevent us from gettin involved in any fashion."

"This is a violation of our own sovereignty! New Constantinople is our planet, not theirs!"

Though the Devosans were awfully upset about the RA's unwelcome interference, they ultimately chose to back down and let the mechers deal with this abnormal matter.

Meanwhile, a short distance away from the site that had attracted the lightning storm, a pair of notable spiritual entities manifested themselves underneath the surging dark clouds. The two translucent female figures stared meaningfully at the storm above their heads.

"The power... is greater than anything that I have witnessed." Helena remarked. "My little brother needs help in order to save his work. We should do what we can to mitigate the damage."

"No." The much more powerful spirit stopped Helena from taking action. "The heavens are jealous. My son has brought a mech to life that shouldn't exist. Actions have consequences, and they cannot and should not be avoided. If he wants to become a god among creators, he must face his tribulations head-on and struggle against the forces that seek to put him back into his place."

"But mother! His mech will break if we do not lend a hand! This lightning tribulation is far too powerful. Heaven's punishment is bound to sunder this poor machine within the first three strikes."

"Then so be it." The Superior Mother crossed her arms as she held her decision. "Tribulations exist to eliminate the weak and the unworthy. Failure means that my son has done poorly and that his work is not meant to survive in this reality."

Though Helena understood her mother's logic, she still found it awful to see her brother's hard work get ruined on the moment that he was supposed to welcome his magnificent creation.

"Poor mech..."

"Do not pity the mech or its creator, Helena. All creators must be prepared to endure these tribulations in their struggle to create ever more remarkable works. The more they try to break the rules and reach beyond their limits, the more the heavens will push back against their defiance. Creations that cannot withstand punishment have no right to occupy so many resources and pollute the environment."

While the lightning storm continued to build up, the interference produced by this highly anomalous weather event started to generate more and more interference. It became a lot more difficult to transmit signals and maintain contact in the overcast areas.

Diandi Base happened to suffer the most from this interference effect!

This shouldn't have happened. The former military outpost was equipped with a high-powered communication array that was designed to overcome any jamming or hostile environmental effects.

The only way that the Larkinsons stationed in the base could still maintain outside contact was by using the well-shielded quantum communication node that was buried underground.

It was through this active link that the occupants received an important message from the Bluejay Fleet.

"What?! Are you crazy, Jovy?! You can't teleport my new mech away under these circumstances!"

"It will be perfectly safe." Jovy's shaky projection replied to Ves. "The Orden Hammer has already begun to descend to the surface. She is taking a detour in order to avoid coming into contact with the lightning storm, but once she has come close enough, her remote teleportation system should be able to push through the Interference and teleport your mech to an open field that is right outside your base. For safety's sake, we will refrain from teleporting your precious machine any further."

The Orden Hammer was the name of one of the two light cruisers assigned to the Bluejay Fleet. She was considerably smaller and lighter than the Tarrasque, which meant that she could safely descend from orbit and maintain altitude under atmospheric conditions.

Ves suspected that the Tarrasque was powerful enough to fly in a planetary environment as well, but she would obviously have to strain her flight systems way too much in order to prevent her heavy hull from crash landing.

As Ves considered Jovy's proposal, he briefly swept his gaze around the mech workshop.

The first-class production machines were highly likely to get wrecked if lightning bolts descended from the skies!
