The Kaiju beast emerges from the wormhole under the Pacific Ocean and can reach the coast of any place within a day, making all coastal cities no longer safe. This has also caused many countries to have to move their industries from the coast to the inland. .

For this alone, the losses, cost increases, and funds spent due to the entire industrial relocation will be calculated in trillions. Even in peacetime, many countries will be severely injured, not to mention that at the same time, they need to The war with Kaijumon begins.

While enduring these losses, various countries have also invested a lot of resources in PPDC. The results so far are the product of the joint efforts of all member countries and their investment regardless of cost.

However, it has been almost five years since the economic adjustment and the emergence of mecha hunters like dumplings, which has made the member states no less than fighting a world war.

Just like each of the two world wars, the countries at the core of the war suffered a lot. Now, even if the member states have not reached that level, they are not much different.

The domestic economy of each member country is in a sluggish state. As far as Locke knows, the unemployment rate continues to rise, more and more people are hungry, and more and more people are dissatisfied. The domestic situation in many countries is not very good now.

To put it simply, all countries are frightened by the huge investment, especially now that Kaiju beasts appear more and more frequently. Every time a mecha hunter is dispatched, it represents a huge investment and possible losses.

In other words, most of the people in power who have invested heavily in the Hunter Plan are scared even if they still want to invest as much as before. They are afraid that if this continues, they themselves will be ousted.

At the same time, the existing mecha technology can already cope with the current strength of the Kaijumon. In the absence of a stronger Kaijumon, there is no need to invest as much as before regardless of the cost.

Because of this, just recently, the so-called wall faction has quietly come forward. Although this plan is extremely ridiculous in the eyes of discerning people, it has received support from some parties who have suffered losses due to the mecha hunter plan.

Just like in the United States, the Lee Group has intervened in most of the Mecha Hunter-related industrial chain, and even used the emerging technologies to create many supporting factories, making no less money.

High-end projects like the Hunter Plan should not be considered by companies without any scientific research capabilities. The profits are high, and the threshold is also extremely high. Ordinary people and companies in many member states cannot benefit from the Mecha Hunter Plan at all. On the contrary, a large number of companies have suffered losses due to economic turmoil. huge.

At this time, frustrated people who were unable to intervene, as well as interested parties whose interests were harmed by the economic turmoil, began to support the construction of the wall.

The investment in building the wall is actually not much less than that of continuing to manufacture Mecha Hunters, but the technical content is low. Many companies and individuals can participate to get a share of the pie. Such a large project also requires hiring a large number of people, which is helpful in solving the unemployment rate. Great effect.

At the same time, in order to deceive the people, who are simple, some people in power and scientists with financial backers came forward and said that the wall can block monsters below level four, and we can live a safe and happy life inside the wall.

The people are blindly obedient, especially when their lives are about to be unbearable, and they are easily incited. At this time, they have no sense at all, and they just fantasize about living the past life.

Now the wall faction has not completely gained the upper hand, but it is developing extremely rapidly. At the same time, various countries have begun to reduce financial support for PPDC.

These wall factions have united, and in terms of pure influence on the US government, the total of these parties has exceeded the Lee Group and his allies.

Under such circumstances, a hard cap is unrealistic. It just so happens that Locke has been prepared for this. Taking advantage of this trend, he started negotiations with the other party and launched his own plan, intending to continue to advance with the help of the Li Group itself. Mecha Hunter Project.

Of course, this requires huge investment. Around the core industry of Mecha Hunter, there are many teams attached to this project with clear division of labor. The required capital cost, technical strength, labor cost, supporting factories, and industrial strength are all Only a few big countries can afford it.

The Li Group also has an advantage in this regard. In the past few years, the Li Group has been the absolute leader in the mecha hunter project in the United States. In fact, the U.S. government has helped invest in the construction of all supporting factories. , the Li Group even made a huge amount of money.

Once the wall faction gains momentum in the future, these factory projects will have no orders and will have to be completed on their own. However, Locke has decided that the Lee Group will manufacture its own mecha hunters in the future. Naturally, these factories will be used.

In the past five years, under the command of Locke, the Li Group has participated in the Mecha Hunter Project. With the money earned in the past few years, the Li Group has the money to invest in building its own base, and at the same time prepare to develop its own Hunter mecha.

Of course, it is not enough to just make money from Mecha Hunter-related industries, because the consumption is too great, and it won't be long before the Li Group will be completely destroyed due to the consumption of funds.

In addition to the traditional military industry, the Lee Group has also opened up new tracks.

For example, after joining the medical care industry, an abridged version of the genetic optimization solution was developed. The genuine genetic optimization solution only needs to be used continuously for one year, and it can be permanently cured to extend life and improve physical fitness.

The deletable version of the genetic optimization solution needs to be injected every week, and it must be used continuously for at least ten years to ensure a permanent curing effect.

At the same time, the price for its external sale is beyond the reach of the ordinary middle class, and only those with considerable wealth can afford it.

In addition, there are specific drugs for treating cancer, AIDS and many other terminal diseases. Seeing the cost of these drugs and comparing the selling prices, even the most greedy people will feel that this is a money grab.

There are also mobile phones equipped with simple artificial intelligence, which can easily help individuals manage all trivial matters, arrange everything in an orderly manner, and can also complete simple file processing and other tedious tasks.

There are also higher-end robot butlers, just like the robots in "Mechanical Enemy". Not only are there robots that can be used as nannies, there are also specialized engineering robots that are even more comfortable in completing high-risk engineering work.

In this way, even if the wall sect succeeds, they will inevitably end up working for Locke. The real big deal will naturally fall into Locke's hands.

In short, in the past few years, under Locke's arrangement, the Li Group has done a lot of various profitable businesses, so it can have enough confidence to support its current and future investment in the mecha hunter project.

After all, the United States cannot count on it in the short term. It is too difficult for a group company to support the mecha hunter project alone. Locke has to try his best to find a way to make up for it.

And this is just using existing resources for further research and development. We don’t plan to build too many hunter mechas, otherwise we won’t be able to support them.

R\u0026D investment, mecha maintenance, labor costs, mecha repairs, and new-generation construction are each a dizzying amount of expenditure. The eight PPDC bases and dozens of member states can hardly afford it.

The Li Group really just uses a large number of engineering robots. The base and various industries have a very high automation rate. In addition, it controls the entire industrial chain and its own technology is mature, so it is ready to focus on building three or four main battle units in the next few years. Mechas, most of them really just die after being raised.

As for why Shaw Brothers has the resources to continue manufacturing mechas in the second movie, it is fundamentally because China has a different system and is willing to use the power of the country to support development in this area.

Even so, it is impossible for the Lee Group to support the entire PPDC alone.
