Chapter 198: Callie Surprises Peter

After Peter left the Genetics College, he encountered the advanced intelligent entity No. 0 on his way to the unnamed town. He also obtained a storage space that stored the smart mechas created by No. 0.

Although these smart mechas were very powerful, there was a very serious problem. After being on standby for a long time, there was a serious problem regarding the energy supply of the smart mechas.

Back then, Peter had asked No. 0 if he could solve the problem of energy shortage. The method that No. 0 had thought of was very simple. Peter would collect a large number of mechas and then let No. 0 operate on these mechas. The energy extracted could be used by smart mechas, but the number of mechas needed was very large.

Peter’s return to New York Base City this time would allow No. 0 to check on the old mechas of the Federation. It would be best if he could use them.

“General Hal, how many mechas have you counted?”

After several centuries of development, the number of mechas serving in the Federation had reached 100,000 before the beast siege. However, more than two-thirds of the mechas had been injured during the beast attack, leaving behind less than 20,000 mechas. Furthermore, there were all sorts of small problems with these mechas.

Other than that, there were also about 50,000 mechas waiting to be destroyed in the Federation’s warehouses. These were all relatively old models that could no longer adapt to the current war.

Peter had a rough decision after hearing Hal’s report. Then, he left the Federal combat command room and went to the end of the corridor alone. This way, he could prevent others from hearing him.

He wanted to contact No. 0 and tell him the number of remaining mechas in the Federation. Then, No. 0 would analyze how much energy he could extract and how many smart mechas he could support.

This was very important to Peter’s subsequent plan. The Federation had always used Mecha Warriors to operate their mechas in battle. This model of battle had advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.

This was because when Mecha Warriors operated their mechas against enemies, especially when there were a large number of mutated beasts, the defeat of one mecha would often cause a chain reaction. This would cause other Mecha Warriors to operate their mechas and escape. This was disadvantageous to the entire mecha army.

The best example was of the mecha army sent by the Federation, which encountered the siege of mutated beasts in the wilderness. After the mechas responsible for defense were defeated, the Mecha Warriors that had been suppressing the mutated beasts instantly lost their confidence. They began to operate their mechas to escape the battlefield. However, in the end, less than a quarter of the mecha army escaped.

If the Mecha Warriors who had not escaped continued to fight the mutated beasts, the mecha army that had been rushing over to support them would have been able to arrive in time.

This kind of war case often happened in history, just that human bodies had been replaced with hard mechas. However, as long as humans were operating mechas, this kind of thing could not be avoided.

Thus, Peter’s idea was very simple. He wanted to scrap all the current mechas in the Federation and extract the energy to maintain the operation of the smart mechas.

Peter’s requirements were not high. As long as more than 10,000 smart mechas could operate normally, they would be able to shoulder the defense mission in New York Base City.

Then, Peter called Barker over. He asked Barker to be responsible for gathering all the remaining mechas in the Federation with General Hal.

Meanwhile, Peter wanted to see Callie first. Furthermore, he had to convince Callie to participate in the Presidential elections as a Presidential candidate.

A few minutes later, Peter arrived outside Callie’s door. A staff member had wanted to inform Callie, but Peter stopped him. He wanted to surprise Callie.

Knock knock knock!

After knocking on Callie’s door, Peter immediately moved and hid in the left-hand area of the door. He was afraid that Callie would see him through the observation mirror.

After a short wait, an inquiring voice sounded from the door. However, Peter could tell that the person who had spoken was not Callie. Instead, it was probably the maid responsible for taking care of Callie.

However, to Peter’s surprise, Callie had left her residence earlier. At this moment, Callie was climbing the stairs. Her residence was at the top floor of the Federal building, which had a height of 50 stories.

In order to increase her physical strength, Callie would climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator every time she came back.

Coincidentally, the entrance of the stairs was on the left of her door. Callie was already panting when she climbed to the 50th floor. Just as she was about to rest, she heard a knock on the door from the corridor.

The entrance to the stairs was very close to her door. Thus, Callie quickly knew that someone was knocking on her door.

Who would possibly come to look for her at this time?

Callie panted as she slowly opened the door to the corridor. Then, she stuck her head out and saw a figure that she was very familiar with.

She would not mistake the figure that had appeared in front of her. This person had appeared in her dreams countless times. They would eat dinner together, watch videos together, and go to bed together.

Callie held the door with one hand and waited for her breathing to stabilize. Then, she suddenly rushed out and jumped onto Peter’s back with both feet.

Callie’s sudden appearance startled Peter.

“Callie!”

Peter looked delighted when he saw that the person who had suddenly appeared behind him was actually Callie.

“Why are you only back now! How are you going to make it up to me for leaving me here alone!”

Callie asked Peter various questions, but there was joy in her voice.

“Will you leave me after coming back this time?”

“Also, when are you going to marry me?”

“By the way, there’s something else. I think I’m pregnant!”

Peter had been humoring Callie’s conditions until he heard the last sentence. Then, a strange expression finally appeared on his face. There was shock, surprise, but most importantly, there was helplessness.

Was Peter going to be a father?!
