Chapter 1997: Film Making - Part 3
Chapter 1997: Film Making - Part 3
"All the magic eyes ready?" Jin asked the System and the latter replied that it had prepared thousands of cameras to take in the sights and sounds.
Kiyu would have a headache trying to decipher which clip would be useful though the System, on the other hand, had started to learn Kiyu's style and similarly with the usage of 'the System' as compared to the basic artificial intelligence that Jin's world was using, it would be able to create a few full sample compiled clips that would allow Kiyu to make the editing of films much more easily.
"Affirmative. The target that Minotaur Sebastia had occasionally entered to the Mecha World Universe to check had been verified once more by the Sun Fox scouts." The System replied.
"Sun Foxes? Kraft is already allowing you to use them?" Jin was surprised by it as he was in the Dungeon Instance Maker area to check on the preparations.
"Affirmative.
Original Bellator Kraft had stated that the Sun Foxes are ready for such operations and stated that if the operation could not go smoothly due to the lack of scouting by the Sun Foxes, he would gently remind them how it is being done." The last sentence was said without too much emotion granted that it was the System but Jin could feel that the System was merely reiterating Kraft's sarcasm into the picture.
"How many Fortress Golems we can use to move out? Or any Gunndam replicas that we would be able to utilise?" Jin asked the System while adding one more question. "Those humans that we had employed from the Seven Cities, have they been...' educated' on how to use the Mechas?"
"Yes, for this particular raid, the System had purposely chosen a high security military fuel facility that is used to facilitate their logistic support. The System has provided sufficient data into their brains that they should be able to fight logically while ensuring that the operation is a success.
Whether it is a pyrrhic success or a 'worthwhile' sacrifice, that would be left for the Dungeon World's humans to ensure our victory."
"Lol, if it works well enough, we would be able to get them employed as permanent pilots. And the unemployed humans can also be used to for the production of those Mechas at Pandapolis."
"Affirmative. Production lines of new Mecha fodders also known as the Mechanised Golems Gunners or MG Gunners for short had been created. The first runs had already been done and the Dungeon World's humans had been taught how to pilot them." The System stated as Jin took a quick peek at what the robots looked like. They were simple looking Gunndams despite their names as Mechanised Golems.
The Fortress Golems were heavy duty and their features were akin to a dwarf who had extremely simple robotic features as their face.
But for the MG Gunners, they look more human like in their design. With a slightly protruding torso as the part of their body for the pilots to enter and manoeuvre the Mecha, the armour that surrounds this MG Gunner is rather light.
There were no extra platings mainly due to the fact that the System initially ran this long ago for the villain act that they had always wanted to do but never did because Jin was in the Synthesis World for the longest time ever.
However, now with this filming endeavour, the System was finally able to dust off these Mechas and use them for the fight. Full System diagnosis had been done for all 20 of these Mechas and none of them had any problems. After all, the quality assurance and control for these Mechas were rather hush due to them having dual circuit systems.
It had been modelled how the cultivators and magicians were in Jin's world as they had one circuit for chi and the other for magic. But as the cultivators grew, they gradually lost their magic circuits in lieu of the growth for additional chi circuits and vice versa for the magicians as well.
This was thankfully not the case for Jin and the System had used this as part of the design for the new MG Gunners.
The first circuit is electrical in nature as there was a small electromagnetic engine reactor that powered the MG Gunner. Meanwhile, its backup is actually a magic crystal that had been reserved for emergencies. But at the same time, this particular magic crystal is also used as part of the amplification design that had been embedded into the System.
Unfortunately, this meant that only humans with magic capability could fully pilot the entire machine with its perks. That was also the reason why Dungeon World's humans were used since they have an abundance of magic compared to the humans in the Goblin World.
The Farming World's humans have some magic capabilities but being able to conjure a spark is already considered a miracle in their population's eyes. That was why Scholar Gold and Weslie were titled as Scholars because of their unique abilities to conjure magic as well as having the powers to wield magic freely.
If one were to consider Gold and Weslie (before they were captured by Jin and the System) with the likes of a Graded Magician, there was a possibility that they might perform worse than a Grade 3 Magician. There was nothing much to say now that they were in the hands of the System.
Jin had allowed them to research and be exposed to so many different capable magicians that they are improving non stop.
So, with the Dungeon World's humans as the test pilots for this short film, they were also there to collect data for the MG Gunner so that they could be used to better the value of the subsequent productions or whether there was a need for any changes.
So far, the trial runs before the MG Gunners were rotting inside an isolated warehouse to prevent rust had proven to be rather effective for its specifications. In fact, the MG Gunner can work as well as a protagonist Gunndam as long as the pilot has sufficient magical powers and ammunition to boot.
Without proper logistical support, the MG Gunner might have problems surviving on its own and thus be considered to be a fodder Mecha in the eyes of the System. Even the Fortress Golems who had proved their worth were considered the superior fodder as compared to the MG Gunner.
But the System believed that with sufficient combat data, it would be possible for the MG Gunner to achieve Mark I and perhaps Mark II in the near future.
In fact, the MG Gunner might be the base of an evolution of various Mechanised Golems that would be coming out of Pandapolis Factories should the film be considered a success. The System had already thought of various bases to attack and perhaps even encountered with the United Federation's own customised Mechas that could rival the name of a Gunndam.
But the film comes first and (again) if it is successful, the System will be able to get Jin to look into allowing the Gunndam to be televised on television occasionally although the System felt that statistically, putting it as a short film might be able to garner more profit mainly because it is a hobbyist dream to watch a good entertaining action flick.
So the possibility of it being a hit in Pandaflix would have a better probability than putting it on national television.
Jin on the other hand was elated that all the items were in place for him to just snap his fingers and go. He had no idea that the System had prepared all of this when he was gone and was delighted to see he could get this villain idea even though he knew that it was a risk. But after saving so many planets, perhaps it should be okay to destroy once in a while, right?
Only then, there will be balance in the multiverse.
Yet, that was just his own personal ramblings and there were no proper justifications for him to do so. Still, he could see the profit of being a villain considering that both the United Federations and Xeon Union might be able to unite together to defeat a common enemy.
Maybe at some point, improve their technology as well so that they could further wreak havoc against them and win, not knowing that by exposing this technological advance to the 'villain' the System might be curious and wish to copy it for its own advancement as well.
It might possibly be a never ending battle but for now, all Jin had to do was to sow seeds of discord so that they could fight among each other for a while longer before Jin officially entered the fray as the villain against the two major factions of this Mecha World Universe.
"What are we waiting for since everyone is ready? Let's get the operation started!" Jin smiled and gave the go ahead for the space vessel which Rei duplicated to rush to this heavily fuel depot.
