Machine War: Infinite Frontier

Because the neutral status of the waste dealers' union has also signed a series of cooperation agreements with all parties, one of which is that anything picked up by the waste dealers on the battlefield belongs to the waste dealers personally. All parties can buy it back but cannot pursue it. Of course Orb also signed this agreement.

In this way, it was completely legal for Luo to pick up the red machine and keep it as his own. The professor also gave Xiao Yun the identity of a registered waste dealer to help him solve the subsequent problems that might arise from possessing the golden machine. , but now Xiao Yun's behavior is more like a mercenary, which is a lot of confusion.

But these are not important. Xiao Yun can be called Xiao Yun, and he can also be called by other names. There is no problem at all that he used to be a waste dealer and now is a mercenary. It doesn't matter how he talks about it.

Besides, Luo is a serious waste dealer. Luo has the right to decide who can give the things he picked up. He can give a blue machine to Cong Yunqi, who Xiao Yun has not seen, and he can also give it to Xiao Yun. A golden machine, no matter what, it can be justified.

Now in the bridge of the Archangel, Captain Malu and Mu are discussing the matter of the golden machine and the red machine.

Bucky Lulu was sitting on the vice-captain's seat and heard the conversation between the two. She also turned her chair to look at the two: "This machine uses the same technology as the Strike Gundam?"

Ma Liu glanced at Bucky Lulu, worried that something might happen to this serious, stubborn and responsible vice-captain, and quickly said: "At present, it seems that the same interface parameters are only used. As for other aspects, you can just use your eyes." See the difference."

Bucky Lulu frowned slightly and said nothing.

Mu Ze said from the side: "It does look like a completely different body. The exposed skeleton also confirms that there is no PS armor installed. Maybe it was developed by Shuguang Society when they were developing MS for our Earth Army. After all, our body But it was developed in cooperation with Shuguang Society, so it’s not surprising that they can develop similar mobile suits.”

Mu folded his hands and said, "Perhaps the body developed by Orb after the disintegration of Heliopolis was discovered by the waste dealer. He should be the owner of the red body just now. According to the agreement between the parties, the waste dealer has the right to Give your loot to anyone, so it won’t be surprising if someone else gets Orb’s mobile suit.”

"And in this world now, there are countless mercenaries and waste dealers who own ZAFT mobile MSs. Although this machine is special, it is not an exception."

Malu shook his head: "This explanation is very reasonable, but I didn't expect Orb to secretly develop their own mobile suit at that time."

Mu smiled and patted Ma Liu on the shoulder and said: "Actually, this is normal. Since they can develop for us, they themselves have the MS development agreement. In the current world situation, I am afraid that anyone can do it. The choice of developing MS.”

Malu asked: "Then do you think this person with a golden body is from Orb?"

"It doesn't look like it." Mu said thoughtfully: "What is certain is that he is very close to the team of waste dealers just now. His behavior is too frivolous and does not look like a regular army."

Baji Lulu glanced at Mu: "Speaking of frivolity, I feel that the person I see now seems to be more frivolous, and his every move looks more like a gangster than a soldier."

"???" Mu's face was full of question marks and innocence, and he shook his head and said: "Obviously I am serious and reliable, okay, forget it, but no matter what, since this machine was sent to us, we have to investigate it. Okay, we need to use this machine to confirm what level Orb has reached so far."

"no!"

Mu reflexively looked at Ma Liu, and when he saw Ma Liu was also surprised, he realized that he had seen the wrong person, and then turned to look at Baji Lulu.

Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, Malu, who values ​​the emotional situation and influence more, would refuse such a thing. However, the serious and responsible Bucky Lulu is definitely in favor, so now Bucky Lulu said it without even thinking about it. Mu failed to react after the words "can't do it" were spoken, and Ma Liu also looked stunned.

Malu was stunned: "Lieutenant Bucky Lulu?"

Mu's movements were much more exaggerated. He touched his forehead with a puzzled look on his face: "Am I dreaming? Does the sun rise from the west today?"

When Baji Lulu heard Mu's words, a look of uneasiness flashed on her face, and then she raised her head and said to Mu seriously: "Now we are in an important period of cooperation with Dawn Desert. The ship is short of supplies and surrounded by enemies. Without Dawn Desert's We won’t be able to get any supplies by helping, and doing so will create a gap and hostility in Dawn Desert towards us.”

"As a result, it will be even less possible for us to find a way out of here, and there will be no way to break through the ZAFT army's occupied area from the front and return to Alaska."

"And this golden machine can defeat two Baku in such a short time. There is no doubt about its strength. Dawn Desert can hire him, and we can also hire him to fight for us. Having such a powerful person will help us in the next step. It will be much smoother for us along the way.”

"So I object to any substantive action on that golden machine. Once that machine needs repair, we are the only ones he can rely on."

Listening to Baji Lulu's very reasonable words, Ma Liu kept nodding and said to Mu: "The lieutenant is very reasonable and I mean the same thing. At present, we can't do anything that will create a gap for us in Dawn Desert." As for the employment matter, we can talk to the other party."

Mu looked at Ma Liu and then at Baji Lulu, and suddenly said with a smile: "It's rare to see you all make the same decision on the same thing, okay, I'll just listen to you."

On the other side, Xiao Yun drove slowly and hurriedly and soon arrived at Erica's temporary site.

As soon as I entered the deserted valley, I saw a red machine squatting on the ground covered in camouflage, a group of Orb technicians surrounding the red machine, various materials brought out from the HOME, and other items in the recycling room. Two people, Juri Yamabuki and Liam Jarfield, were cleaning up the mess.

However, Xiao Yun did not see Erica among this group of people, nor did he see Professor Luo and Professor.

I caught someone and asked, and then I found out that Erica, the professor and others were in a container house. When I walked in, I saw Erica and the professor sitting and drinking tea, and Luo and Xiaoba were talking to each other on a console. Busy with the computer crackling.

When Xiao Yun came in, the first thing he saw was Erica facing him. Erica was also stunned when she saw Xiao Yun. She put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at Xiao Yun and asked in surprise: "Why are you back?"

The look was a little complicated and surprised, but there was a hint of unnaturalness and a little shyness on his face, as if he felt that Xiao Yun couldn't wait to come over to collect debts.

As soon as these words came out, others naturally noticed Xiao Yun. Luo turned his head and grinned at Xiao Yun: "I knew you would definitely come with me. When I finish these things, I will take you to see the good things."

"You go ahead." Xiao Yun nodded with a smile, came to Erica's side and greeted the professor with a smile. He sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp: "I'm dying of thirst. , Director Simmons, there have been many unexpected situations this time. "

Erica's face turned slightly red and she immediately said: "As for this, I will definitely apply for more compensation for you."

"Then I'll wait."

The professor took out two cans of beer from his pocket and gave one to Xiao Yun. He opened one and took a sip. Then he said sarcastically to Xiao Yun: "Brother's luck is really very good. After returning to the earth from the universe, he didn't have any problems." I have encountered so many things, but I have to remember that I am a waste merchant and not a mercenary. Sooner or later, no matter how good my luck is, I will not be able to protect myself. "

"This time we have prevented disaster for you, so have you considered how to compensate us? I heard that you have made a lot of money during this time."

"Haha." Xiao Yun laughed and said helplessly: "I don't want to do this either."

Erica, who didn't know many things, didn't quite know what the two were talking about. After hearing the professor's words, a set of logic that made sense naturally appeared in her mind, and then said: "I'm sorry for letting you meet. This situation seems to be due to our Orb princess being too willful. We will try our best to compensate you in this regard. "

The professor did not object: "That's fine, but you Orb princesses are really willful people. Thank you for your hard work."

Erica covered her forehead helplessly: "Yes."

The professor suddenly appeared here, and Erica already knew the reason why the ship fell from the universe. It was attacked by a white Heretic Gundam. When Erica heard about it, she immediately thought of Mina.

And that white Heretic was also developed and manufactured for Mina. No one knew this better than Erica.

Slightly different from the gold machine, the white machine has been updated to a certain extent. It is almost equivalent to version 1.5 of the Astray Gundam, with a slight improvement but not much.

After obtaining all the complete information about the golden machine, some weak points were strengthened. In fact, these supplements were all made the same improvements when repairing the golden machine. Some armors were added to the white machine to increase some firepower, and Some adaptive changes were also made specifically for Mina, the adjuster pilot.

Therefore, although the two machines are the same machine belonging to the same series, there are some differences after these improvements. In the future, the golden machine will definitely undergo adaptive transformation and enhancement, not to mention that it has been strengthened in the Gaiden story. The red machine and the blue machine are gone.

There will inevitably be an airframe of the same model, but due to different pilots, it will eventually be transformed into four airframes with completely different performance.

Shaking her head, Erica looked at Xiao Yun: "You are back just in time. Defeating two Baku this time has completely proved the actual combat capabilities and performance of the Heretic Gundam. Although this has a lot to do with the pilot, it is all thanks to you. We have collected good information, but adding a mobile air cushion device can actually enable the aircraft to achieve such performance, which is something we never thought of before. "

"Do you think this kind of air cushion device can be promoted?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "It would be better to increase the thruster power and increase the battery output efficiency and reserve capacity. Promotion is possible, but the pilots are very selective. Rather than installing them on the M1 Heretic, it is better to build some new special-purpose machines and hand them over to specialized pilots." For people to use, and compared to gliding on the ground, wouldn’t it be better to directly develop a backpack or body with flight capabilities?”

Erica nodded: "You are right. Anyway, record the data first and use it as a data reserve. You can also use it when you really need it in the future. So have you found any problems with this battle? ”

Xiao Yun thought for a while and said: "Everyone must have different ideas about this thing. I think the firepower is insufficient and the armor is too poor. If I can have the PS armor of the Strike Gundam and equip it with more firepower, I will definitely be able to Leave all four Baku behind.”

Erica took out a pen and paper and motioned for Xiao Yun to continue. Xiao Yun said: "There is actually the possibility of strengthening the backpack. Adding one or two missile pods can enhance the strike capability. Although the mobility is high, the armor is not flawless. It needs to be changed, especially for the established M1 heresy.”

"However, considering the current development trend, it is definitely a matter of time before the popularization of beam weapons. You can consider applying an extra layer of anti-beam coating on the armor. Although the cost will be higher, it is still cheaper than manufacturing a new body. For That’s pretty much it for mass-produced machines.”

"However, the Heretic series originally emphasized versatility, giving up armor defense capabilities and pursuing mobility. However, pure mobility cannot bring direct and effective help to the battle, and it does not maximize mobility. I want to make up for it. We can only develop a few types of additional equipment suitable for different environments and battle situations, just standard ones.”

Erica nodded while taking notes, and then asked: "Then do you think there is anything that needs to be filled in the golden machine?"

Xiao Yun glanced at Erica and said, "Didn't I say that, firepower and armor, plus an energy supplement to strengthen it, the fighting method I am good at is a firepower fortress that can move flexibly on the ground."

"I roughly understand what you mean." Erica put down the pen and said: "But trying to reach the level you mentioned is a big limitation even in the gravity-free environment of the universe, because the body itself It cannot withstand too much pressure, especially in the earth’s environment.”

"In many cases, it's not that the body cannot load more weapons, but that there is no way to load more weapons. This will lead to a situation where a small horse pulls a cart, and the body will be broken. According to what you said, at least The weight of the aircraft will be doubled, and more powerful propulsion power will be needed to support this weight.”

"This will require more energy. With more energy, more batteries will be needed, and it will also take up more space and weight."

Erica spread her hands as she spoke: "So the exaggerated fire fortress you want is probably just a dream."
