An Unscientific Mechanic

"Rebir...General" Ian stared blankly at the approaching old man.

"It seems that you know me, young man." Rebil stood in front of Ian. "Ordinary people don't remember me as an idle general, they will remember young and handsome generals like Tiam." Rebir looked at Ian's equipment that was placed on the ground.

"General survival equipment, no special equipment for the rainforest climate, old-fashioned pistols from a hundred years ago, uncommon survival daggers, and communicators that have never been seen before, all of which show that your background is not simple, young man." Lei Bill stared closely at Ian's eyes.

"Where is that? In fact, my origin is very simple, but then again, why is the lieutenant general of the Federation Army in such a place?" Ian didn't bother to refute the young man's title.

"Oh? Are you asking why the lieutenant general of the Federation can't be at the headquarters of the Earth Federation Army?"

"So I came to Gabriel..."

"Young man, I didn't say that this base is called Gaburo. This base is still top secret. Take it away and go to the base for questioning slowly. Also, remember to destroy your personal belongings when the plane crashes next time, Vasty Sir." Rebil took out a bag from his pocket, which contained more than half of Ian's burnt federal army card with Ian's photo and name and position printed on it...

"Oh..." So Ian was crushed by heavily armed soldiers... Rebil's car.

"Shouldn't I be treated as a spy at this time, General Rebil."

"Mr. Varsity, I don't think a spy needs a person with the rank of a general to go into battle in person, and, we don't think you are from Earth. Your aircraft suddenly appeared in the sky above Gaburo, then you ejected, and then you disappeared into the jungle. , our satellites have been watching the situation here.

According to the analysis of the wreckage, we found that although the remaining text information on the aircraft is in English and Arabic numerals, there are several materials in the outer armor materials of the aircraft body that we do not know at all. The propulsion device of the aircraft is not our thermonuclear rocket engine, but a brand new, unheard of propulsion device.

All signs indicate that you are from an extraterrestrial civilization, Mr. Ian. "

"Why don't you think I'm a secret organization on Earth? It's normal for a secret organization to have world-leading technology."

"Because there is still this photo as evidence, Mr. Vasti." Rebil asked for another bag from the staff officer, which contained photos taken by Ian, Sergey and others on the Wolf Fighter after the Tianzhu defense battle. "No matter from which angle you look at it, no secret organization on Earth will fabricate this photo."

"Okay, you beat General Rebir. If you have such evidence, please show it as soon as possible. Is it interesting for us to guess for a long time here." Ian raised his hand and surrendered. God knows why the escape pod blew up these things. . "What do you want to say, General Rebil."

"What is your purpose in coming here?"

"I also want to know, I don't know why I was thrown here during the leap, the body was also blown up, and the communicator couldn't contact my country. I didn't even know where this was before I met you. Otherwise I wouldn't have called for help on the highway."

"But you know me, you know the emblem of the Federal Army, and you know the uniform of the Federal Army."

"Because this earth is presented in another form on my side."

"Appreciate further details."

"Do you know cartoons?"

"Yeah. My grandson watches it a lot."

"On my side, you have cartoons here, but there are also novels, comics and movies."

"That is to say, will you know the future direction of this world?"

"Fuck, from the moment I came here, the plot I know has gone into the ditch. I don't believe that your technicians can't deduce new technology from my body. You know there are aliens Will not take me seriously, and will not extract historical trends from me."

"Yes, we can't be indifferent. So, from the perspective of an outsider, how about us."

"Zeon, it's just a flash in the pan, and the Federation is rotten to the bone." In an instant, Ian felt that the Federation soldiers and staff officers opposite him looked at him with murderous eyes. "Well, it doesn't look bad. After all, you are holding on."

"That's not a good comment, Mr. Varsity."

"Just call me Ian, I'm an old man, sir, come and blame me."

"You don't look like an old man, Ian."

"I'm almost 80, old enough."

"Hmph." Rebir obviously didn't believe Ian 80's words. "Tell me, Federation and Zeon, the smell of gunpowder is already strong enough."

"Then just talk about it, anyway, it can only be used as a reference. In 0079, Zeon became independent and launched a war. One year later, Zeon disintegrated, and the Federation recuperated. After three years of security war between the Federation and the remnants of Zeon, Zeon assembled combat power and killed about 70% of the Federal Space Force. In the following years, the Federal Civil War, after the civil war, fought with Neo Zeon, and after the disintegration of Neo Zeon, it was basically peaceful. Once, the federation disintegrated."

"That's not very specific, Ian-kun. Just talk about the Zeon War of Independence. Just tell a story."

"Hey... It's boring to talk about it... On January 3, Zeon declared war, sank the patrol fleet, and attacked Von Braun on the same day. Afterwards, Zeon threw a colony on the earth and prepared to blow it up, but Sydney was blown up. Then you had a decisive battle in the Lumu space, and you were captured. After you were rescued, Zeon fell to the earth in an all-round way. Near November, Zeon’s gravity front completely collapsed, and the Federation fought all the way to A.B.A. Waku, on January 1, Zeon surrendered. By the way, you died before the final battle. Some people on my side said that this was Zeon’s biggest victory during the War of Independence—they abruptly interrupted the Federation’s spine."

"It seems that the people on your side think highly of me, a defeated general."

"Eh? Is Loum finished?"

"The war hasn't even started yet, Ian-kun. But with you here, the Federation's chances of winning are higher."

"In a war that was impossible to lose in the first place, it can't be said that the winning rate is higher." Ian shook his head, quite disdainful of Zeon.

"Oh? What's your opinion?"

"The population is not as good as the Federation, the productivity is not as good as the Federation, and the war potential is not as good as the Federation. Even if there is a temporary technological lead, as long as the Federation is free, the Federation will soon have more advanced ones."

"You just said that the Federation is rotten, Mr. Yi'an."

"It's rotten, but it doesn't hinder it. It's a huge monster. Zeon can only fight against the Federation for a while. When the internal forces of the Federation are integrated, Zeon..."

Rebil couldn't deny it. "So, what's your plan to contact your country? Can you guarantee that you won't invade us?"

"I also need to be able to contact them. This place is too far away from my home planet. I don't even know if I can contact them in my lifetime."

"Then, let me believe what you say. But until I really believe you, you will stay with me. Do you have any special skills?"

"Me? Vehicle driving, equipment design."

"Then stay with me in Gaburo first. Whether it's a fighter jet, a tank or even a warship, Gaburo has a R\u0026D and production center."

"Then respect is worse than obedience, General Rebir. Please give me your advice in the next period of time."

In this way, on the sixth day of the jump accident, Ian boarded the Federation's chariot and became the technical staff next to Rebil, and also served as a researcher at the Gabro Equipment R\u0026D Center. And this day is June 1, 0075, the Universal Century.

"Is that the researcher who came over by air? He was from that research institute before?"

"I don't know, I heard it was recommended by General Rebir."

"General Rebir? The dismissed Admiral of the First Fleet? Has he even started to go through the back door?"

"Hush! General Rebir is also what you can say? How many powerful officers are now promoted by General Rebir? Don't want to live anymore?"

"But director, you see he has been here for more than a month, and he doesn't do anything, just read the materials."

"Isn't it because you lacked your filial piety, and you are still short of this? Most of the people recommended by Rebir are those who were kicked out because of their inhumanity. Bear with him for a while, and send him away if there is no result."

"OK."

"I'll go see what he's doing, and we'll talk about it later. Mr. Yi'an, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Technical Director Lei. I'm looking at the drawings of the Magellan-class mk120. I always feel that this turret has room for upgrading, and I'm looking for a breakthrough."

"Mk120? Magellan-class dual-mounted 120mm cannon? That is a classic weapon. Many ships in the Federation are now equipped with this type of cannon."

"Well, it is indeed very classic, and the design is very compact, it is difficult to modify the internal structure." Ian found that this turret design is simply poisonous, leaving no room for upgrades. No wonder it was destroyed by Minovsky particles during the battle of Loum. The interfering cannon of this model turns slower than the German 37mm walking tractor in World War II. Ian also recognized the person in front of him, the father of the future RX-78 Gundam, Tim Ray.

"Indeed, at the beginning of the design of this machine gun, there was basically no upgrade space reserved. At that time, the performance of this machine gun was close to perfect, and the reserved space was only for the upgrade of low-level electronic equipment."

"But obviously, this machine gun is not enough in the current era." Ian turned off the blueprint and opened the newly designed turret here. "Take a look at the two turrets I designed. I don't know if they will pass the review."

"Type A is equipped with two 4-barreled 80mm Gatling cannons, with a rate of fire of no less than 3,000 rounds per minute, and type B is equipped with two new 120mm rapid-fire guns, with a rate of fire of no less than 1,200 rounds per minute. , the rotation speed is more than three times that of mk120."

"Not bad, young man." Tim Ray was a little surprised, thinking that he was a related party and had no ability. I didn't expect to have my own results in just one month. "Send me the drawings and performance parameters, and I'll review them for you. If there's no problem, I'll send them to the old man in the Equipment Development Committee for review."

"Then thank you, Director Lei." Yi Anxin said that if you find any problems in the audit, I will lose. The system has been tested countless times, and these two turrets have also been installed in large numbers in the 00 world, and the output is definitely not low. Yu Zaku's mmp120 machine gun.

It didn't take long for Tim Ray to tell Ian that his design had passed the review of the committee. After trial production, it would fully replace the old-fashioned mk120 cannon and become the emptying weapon for the next batch of federal ships. Moreover, the elders of the committee wanted to meet the rookie researcher who had designed brand new equipment in just one month.

Tim Ray took Ian to a conference room, and then he himself was at the door.

"Second Lieutenant Ian Varsity, a researcher recommended by Lieutenant General Rebill a month ago, right?"

"Yes."

"I want to hear your opinion on the Federation Fleet." The old man sitting in the chief asked Ian.

"I think the size of the Federation's ships is not large enough, the firepower is not strong enough, and the armor is not thick enough." Ian said sternly.

The eyes of the six elderly people on the opposite side lit up, and it had been a long time since they spoke so congenially. "So what do you think?"

"The current Magellan class has a very even distribution of firepower. The nine turrets are evenly distributed throughout the hull. No matter which direction the fire is fired, the firepower of at most five turrets can be concentrated. However, the Magellan class is fully equipped with nine main guns. This is a serious problem. waste.

Moreover, the Magellan class has no carrier-based aircraft carrying capacity, which greatly limits the firepower projection distance of the Magellan class. Now that Minovsky particles have been used in combat, radars are severely disrupted, and long-distance bombardment may require the assistance of observation aircraft.

The Magellan class still lacks the final weapon. Although the main gun is powerful, the main battleship of the Federation Army does not have any weapons that can win in one blow. In other words, the gun is not big enough.

The current armor can be easily penetrated by the Mega Particle Cannon, and our armor is not thick enough. Air-to-air firepower is better than nothing, so I think we need to design a new type of large cruiser that combines bombardment and aviation. "

"It seems that you already have an idea, young man."

"It's just an immature design."

"You already have a design?"

"Well, I designed it in my spare time."

"Bring it here and let's have a look."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and get my computer."

"Okay, go, we'll wait here."

Yi An quickly walked out of the conference room, got rid of Director Lei and drove him back to the research room to get his laptop.

Back in the meeting room, Ian took out the modified version of Ptolemy's design.

"Look, this is the comprehensive battleship I envisioned. It has a total length of 470 meters, a height of 96 meters and a width of 210 meters. It is equipped with 12 main guns of 3-unit Mega particle cannons, 22 anti-aircraft guns, and 3 multi-purpose missiles with 64 units. launcher and eight large anti-ship missile launchers."

The old man of the Federation looked at this large battleship with his eyes shining brightly.

I always feel that this month's full attendance will be gone...
