"You... no, it's some high-ranking officials at TPC who want Galvin Group to join this project as well?"
Hearing the subtle meaning behind the music, Lu Xuan instantly understood Masaki Keigo's intention.
At the same time, he finally understood why the other party had brought him to this mechanical island so easily.
It has been stated that this is a global effort to research mechanical islands.
As the leader in global technology, the Galvin Group would naturally not be overlooked by the top management of TPC.
The reason they didn't approach the Galvin Group before was simply because of its extraterrestrial background.
Now that the president of the Galvin Group has taken the initiative to come to him, Masaki Keigo naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity and readily persuaded the TPC executives.
It's no exaggeration to say that the involvement of the Galvin Group will take the entire project to a whole new level.
"That's right, with the help of the Galvin Group, this project is bound to achieve a huge breakthrough!"
Masaki Keigo, who was ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around to say arrogantly to Lu Xuan.
"I think you're playing with fire..."
Unfazed by Masaki Keigo's boastful words, Lu Xuan merely chuckled softly.
"Besides, you all know better than anyone that Director Sawai and his team will absolutely not allow the Galvin Group to join this project."
Lu Xuan admitted that this was just an excuse he made up on the spot.
However, from the perspective of TPC and humanity, they would certainly not allow a company controlled by alien forces to get involved in the development of such a powerful weapon.
"Humans need the ability to protect themselves, and Director Sawai will understand that one day."
"As a human being, you must understand this!"
Before Lu Xuan could speak again, Masaki Keigo turned around and said.
Don't be so quick to reject me!
"I'll show you the final product of our project. You'll be proud to be human!"
......................................................................................................
It wasn't until Lu Xuan followed Masaki Keigo into the core of the building and saw the nearly sixty-meter-tall mecha that he understood why the other party had said those things earlier.
"Mechanical giant?"
It is clearly modeled after Ultraman Tiga or Galvin.
The sixty-meter-tall mechanical life form took on a humanoid shape, tall yet agile.
Its body, as imposing as a mountain, is covered with sharply defined armor.
Its most striking feature is its red, purple, and silver paint scheme.
Even just standing at the entrance and looking at it from afar, the sense of oppression brought about by its enormous size arises spontaneously.
Most importantly, despite being a man-made mechanical giant, the mech in front of us gives off a sense of vitality as if it were alive.
The agility that makes it seem like a living thing from any angle is something that ordinary mechs can't possess.
"Artificial neural network...you've already implanted an artificial neural network in him?"
At a glance, Lu Xuan could tell the difference between the mechanical giant in front of him and ordinary mechs.
As mentioned earlier, Masaki Keigo's ambition is not just to create a mecha modeled after Ultraman Tiga and Galvin.
Masaki Keigo's true ambition lies in using the cutting-edge technology of the Mechanical Island and combining it with the most outstanding researchers in human society to create a mechanical life form that truly possesses the ability to learn and evolve autonomously.
"That's right, and it's a complete artificial neural network."
Making no attempt to hide the pride and arrogance in his eyes, Masaki Keigo had gone through countless experiments before he finally succeeded in transplanting an artificial neural network into a mechanical life form.
For this reason, he even regarded his proud mechanical shark, Gaiozak, as the first experimental subject.
It was through research and experiments on the mechanical shark Gaiozak that this was achieved.
Masaki Keigo then truly perfected the shortcomings of artificial neural networks, and almost perfectly transplanted them into the current Mecha Tiga.
"It's one thing to misappropriate the results of the 'artificial neural network' project..."
"If I remember correctly, prohibiting the use of 'artificial neural networks' for military purposes is also one of our conditions for cooperation, right?"
At least the mechanical shark Gaiozak was originally named a large-scale engineering machine.
However, this current mechanical Tiga, no matter how you look at it, is a humanoid mecha developed for real military purposes.
Of course, that's what they say.
But deep down, Lu Xuan didn't take the original cooperation terms too seriously.
Because those were just hypothetical conditions proposed in order to make contact with Masaki Keigo, even Lu Xuan himself didn't think the other party would abide by those agreements.
Instead, Lu Xuan is now more interested in the mechanical giant that has been implanted with an artificial neural network.

Chapter 350 Do we know each other?
"If we had been constrained by the old rules and regulations, how could the 'artificial neural network' technology have achieved its current breakthroughs?"
Just as Lu Xuan had predicted, Masaki Keigo never took the terms of their initial collaboration to heart from the very beginning.
Even Lu Xuan's current reaction was something Masaki Keigo had already anticipated.
"Regarding the breach of contract by Saidek, I will have my secretary contact your group."
"Furthermore, I can also share the complete version of artificial neural network technology with you unconditionally..."
Before Masaki Keigo could continue speaking, Lu Xuan spoke with a half-smile.
"The prerequisite is that the Galvin Group must also join this project, right?"
"You guys are really persistent, but I'll say it again: you're playing with fire."
"Artificial neural network technology is based on bionics and is essentially just a technology that makes mechanical creations more flexible and autonomous."
"Forcibly transplanting it onto the products of extraterrestrial civilizations will only bring serious consequences that you cannot imagine."
Looking up at the mechanical giant that was made using the same technology as Goblin Giga, Lu Xuan seemed to have already anticipated the scene of the other party going berserk.
In the Ultraman universe, if humanity uses advanced technology that it doesn't even understand to create giants, there will likely only be one outcome.
"President Tony, you're overthinking things."
"Although the mechanical giant in front of us is made using materials from the mechanical island, its core technology belongs to us humans."
"Max Dynamics, artificial neural networks, bioinformatics, high-molecular-weight polyolefin carbon alloys..."
Just as Masaki Keigo was about to continue persuading Lu Xuan, his communicator suddenly rang.
Then, to Lu Xuan's unsurprised reaction, Masaki Keigo received news that the GUTS team was coming to Machine Island.
After last night's fierce battle, no matter how well the Machine Island project is hidden, it's only a matter of time before the Victory Team finds it by following the clues.
......................................................................................................
Two hours had passed when Daigo and Shinjo appeared near the airspace of Machine Island in the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1.
As the person in charge of the entire project, Masaki Keigo naturally went to the airport immediately to receive the two GUTS members for their investigation.
As for Lu Xuan?
After temporarily confirming that the other party was unlikely to join the Mechanical Island project, Masaki Keigo allowed the other party to act freely.
Masaki Keigo firmly believes that the more Lu Xuan learns, the more likely he is to join the Mechanical Island project.
For this purpose, Masaki Keigo even gave Lu Xuan ample authority.
Except for a few top-secret areas, he had unrestricted access throughout the entire mechanical island.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan was not interested in the other projects on the machine island.
After obtaining access, Lu Xuan climbed onto the mechanical giant's scaffolding directly through the backend.
Then, under the tense gaze of his two entourage members, Lu Xuan leisurely approached the energy timer on the mechanical giant's chest.
Unlike the protruding structure of real Titans, the mechanical Titan's energy timer is internal.
Like all mecha designs, the mechanical giant concealed its energy source within its body through a special armor structure on its chest.
Through his special perception using telekinesis, Lu Xuan was able to clearly sense the surging energy source within the mechanical body.
Based on Masaki Keigo's previous explanation, Lu Xuan easily determined the nature of this energy.
The collision between protons and antiprotons generates enormous photon energy in a short period of time; this is known as the "Max Dynamics System".
"Who was the genius who came up with the idea of using the Max Propulsion System to power this thing?"
The mechanical island appeared on Earth specifically to search for a "faster-than-light theoretical model," and the Max propulsion system happens to be the main theoretical component of that model.
Therefore, installing Max's power system on the mechanical giant was tantamount to dangling a piece of meat in front of a dog's nose.
Even without the unstable factor of "artificial neural networks," the mechanical giant's rampage was only a matter of time.
beep!
Just as Lu Xuan was about to go further and observe whether there were any other unstable factors hidden in the mechanical giant.
A clear and loud electronic sound suddenly came from the mechanical giant.
The next second, the energy timer on the mechanical giant's chest lit up.
The azure light contained intense photon energy, and a tremendous driving force was transmitted from the mechanical giant's chest to its limbs.
clack clack...
The scaffolding surrounding the mechanical Tiga began to twist and collapse little by little.
The staff working nearby stared in disbelief at the suddenly moving mechanical giant, their eyes filled with astonishment and fear.
"Uh……"
Standing on the rickety scaffolding, Lu Xuan looked up in astonishment, his eyes meeting those of the mechanical giant who had lowered his head.
At this moment, the mechanical giant's eyes revealed a cold expression.
"Hey, you guys didn't actually install an autopilot system on this mech, did you?"
Instinctively turning his head, Lu Xuan looked at the two staff members following behind him.
Then, without any surprise, he could see the worst possible outcome from the other person's current expression.
There is indeed a pilot's seat inside the mechanical giant.
However, it is also equipped with an autonomous driving system.
Or more precisely, it is an emergency safety braking system called the "Safety Rescue Assist System".
This system can temporarily take over control of the mechanical giant's body when the pilot malfunctions, and return it to its initial starting position and state.
Theoretically speaking, this is just a simple backup and restore system.
However, due to its extremely high level of authority, if this system malfunctions, it could cause the mechanical giant to go berserk and run away uncontrollably.
It is obvious that the mechanical giants of today are exhibiting this kind of rampage and out-of-control behavior.
"Although I know it might be inappropriate to ask this question under the current circumstances, do we know each other?"
Looking up at the mechanical giant again, Lu Xuan seemed to have noticed something and asked softly.
Lu Xuan was very aware of his unlucky fate.
Before his arrival, the mechanical giant had always performed very well.
Shortly after he climbed up the scaffolding, the mechanical giant suddenly went out of control.
If we eliminate all coincidences, then the answer is obvious—the mechanical giant lost control because of itself.
Kaka...
The mechanical giant neither answered Lu Xuan's question nor could it answer it; it simply reached out its hand slowly toward Lu Xuan's chest.
