Not Super Robot Wars at All

"Dr. Lingos, good morning."

"Good morning, director."

Adrian Lingoes in a white coat strode towards his office amidst the greetings of colleagues, his messy hair showed that he did not comb his hair in the morning and that he was a single dog.

Since he was promoted to the director of the MS Research Institute of the Military Department of the Anaheim Electronics Industry's Moon Headquarters last year, some people have changed their names to him as director, and some people still call him doctor. Among the latter, some of them regarded Dr. Lingoes as a researcher rather than a technocrat, while others were "scheming to make sense." Probably in their opinion, scientific talents like Adrian want people to praise his academic level rather than his title status, right? But Ed didn't really care much. He didn't say anything, just nodding his head casually as a response to everyone's greetings, and then went into his office.

This office belongs to Ed alone. Although he is already the director, he still insists that there is no secretary. The office reflects his personal style very well—except for desks, chairs, computers and other office appliances, there is only a large sofa that is large enough to lie down for one person, and there is nothing else left. As for the sofa, it is the prerogative of the director. A little willfulness in this kind of place is harmless, right?

Ed started the computer, opened the engineering software, and made himself a cup of coffee while the design drawing was loaded. What appears on the display is the active skeleton design of Zeta Gundam, which is currently Ed's main project. Unlike the previous RX-78-2, which is also deformable to a certain extent, the Earth Federation that placed the order requires that this time the airframe can be turned into a fighter form alone instead of the original combination. This puts forward very high requirements on the most basic mobile skeleton of MS. First of all, the skeleton must be precise enough to allow the MS to complete such complex deformations; at the same time, the skeleton must be strong enough to support the tossing of a big guy with more than 20 tons—be aware that such deformations may be repeated in high-intensity battles. Appear.

In addition to the design difficulty, the price of Zeta is not the same as the previous RX series. It's like deformable plastic toys tend to be more expensive. Of course, if you deform all day long, it is more likely to break. The Earth Federation is not the same as the Plant, who is savvy and bargaining for everything. It's the rich and powerful person who is taken advantage of, everyone knows. But the Zeta on hand can't be easily broken, and the signs that Anaheim produces must be boutiques must not be smashed into your hands.

After nearly a month of precise calculations and repeated attempts, the basic structure of the movable skeleton has been finalized a few days ago, and now Ed is the final fine-tuning work. If everything goes well, should we be able to produce results today? In this way, tomorrow's general meeting of shareholders can also increase the right to speak. Thinking of this, Ed's mood improved a little, and he hummed "Unexpected Love" softly.

Yes, Ed's other identity is a shareholder of Anaheim Electronics, holding 3% of Anaheim Electronics' real shares. With Queen Diana owning an absolute 51% controlling stake, this 3% share is really not a small number. Although my colleagues did not know, they were actually working for Ed to some extent. Of course, Ed is also working for himself and paying himself wages at the same time.

Having said that, what is the point of the Gundam transformation into an airplane? In a non-gravity cosmic environment, as long as there is power, it makes no difference whether the MS transforms into an airplane tank or a color TV refrigerator. All of this only makes sense in the atmosphere. Then the application scenario envisioned by Zeta Gundam is likely to be a long-distance rush in the atmosphere. After turning into an airplane to quickly approach a strategic goal, it becomes an MS form that provides a powerful combat effectiveness that can change the situation of the battle. After completing a strategic mission, it becomes an airplane that quickly evacuates or rushes to the next mission location. So, is the imaginary enemy of the Earth Federation on the ground? Anyway, he is on the moon, which is absolutely safe, and it has nothing to do with him if the Earth Federation wants to hit anyone.

Time always flies quickly when people are concentrating. Ed naturally missed lunch and skillfully took out a bottle of nutrient from the drawer and drank it. This is also one of the reasons why he and his colleagues are still unable to get warm-Ed never eats lunch with everyone, he drinks nutrients every day. He missed the most important time for chatting with colleagues every day, and it is not surprising that he still hasn't made close friends.

It was already past three in the afternoon when Ed came back to his senses. After more than half a day of hard work, the design of the movable skeleton is basically completed. From the simulation results of the force analysis, there are no faults. The remaining problems may only be discovered in actual tests. Ed sent the design drawings to the workshop and asked them to try to make a model first, so that the Zeta thing would come to an end.

Then Ed checked his to-do list, and the biosensor was at the top.

This is another requirement of the Earth Federation in the order, requiring Zeta Gundam to maximize the use of the power of the new human (NewType) psychosensory, so the research on biosensors was established. But the current project is barely maintained by the written information provided by Captain Amuro Ray. The progress can be described as a tortoise crawl. After all, there are no new humans in Anaheim, and everyone has a black eye on the telepathy. It is better to say that under this situation, progress can be made, which already reflects Anaheim's industry-leading technical level.

Eddy borrowed from the Federation twice and Amuro did not respond, so he threw the matter to Lucette Odby. The last time I cared about this matter was from last week. Today I will ask how the progress is. Well, by the way, I washed the cup for making coffee in the morning. Ed picked up the cup, got up and walked downstairs to Odby's office.

Lucette Odby has been working as a system engineer in the MS development department of Anaheim for several years. He is good-looking and capable. He has also participated in the core research and development work of the GP series. He seems to be in the research institute. Many admirers. The only shortcoming is that the personality is a bit bad. If it sounds good, it will make it my own way, and if it sounds bad, it will be arrogant and arbitrary. In the star incident last year, he made a mistake in his route. In the end, he was seriously injured and almost died. It was finally rescued. After nine deaths, I seem to have understood something, as if I have changed my personality, my style has become low-key, my speech has become smoother, and my friends and admirers have increased.

At that time, because of the wrong route, the company planned to expel her. Seeing that her personality has changed a lot and her own abilities, Eddy spoke to the company to save her and let her continue to serve as an MS system engineer. After this incident, Odby was very grateful to Ed, and Ed often gave her some things to do out of trust in her abilities.

Coming to the outside of Odby's office, I heard the voices of her and another female colleague from inside.

"I see some spoilers on the Internet saying that Shirou died in the end? There are even pictures, and the list of deaths says Shirou Amada."

"No, Shiro and Aina are so loving couples. The screenwriters must not do any tragedies. As long as I can reunite, I will buy two copies of the physical digital version!"

"Tonight is the finale. I will be able to send the blades tomorrow. I'll go to buy some for a rainy day after work."

"Don't be crow-mouthed-ah, good manager!" Odby looked at Ed who entered the office, his face flushed in embarrassment. Another female colleague turned around and cracked and banged on the computer, pretending that she was suddenly very busy. This is the feeling that I was caught by my boss on the spot by fishing and chatting with my colleagues during working hours. Ed is also a person who came here, but now he should be a different position as the director.

"You can hear it at the door, it's too loud." Ed nodded a little, and then talked about business. "Is there any progress with Amuro Ray?"

"The Earth side just replied to the email yesterday." Odby saw that Ed did not intend to delve into the meaning, quietly relieved, "Looking at what they mean, I still don't want Captain Lei to leave the earth. Over there, if we send someone over. I am willing to cooperate fully, but when it comes to letting Captain Lei come to the universe, he starts to go round and round and play officialdom."

"What's the use of plant and equipment here to go to the earth? I have asked all that I can ask. If the project wants to make a breakthrough, NT's personal cooperation is necessary." Although Odby's answer was expected by Ed, this is not To make him happy, he couldn't help but complain, "Does it make sense for the Federation to keep Amuro in captivity like pigs? NT is not an infectious disease. Doesn't it mean that the new humans are not natural persons. etc." Look, sooner or later Blue Cosmos will abrupt Amuro too."

"I want the horse to run, and I want the horse not to eat grass. How can there be such a good thing? Amuro refused to give it. Would you let me go to PLANT to find Char? I still want Plu, it's better to let Geremi Send me one too?"

The director often said strange things, and most of the time things that he didn't understand at all appeared, such as now. The two Odbys, Amuro and Char, knew that they were both new humans awakened in the One Year War. They are now big men. The director has always called these two by their first names, and they are very familiar. Where does the name Geremi seem to have been seen before? It seems to belong to ZAFT? Can't remember the details, it shouldn't be a big shot. But who is Pulu? Why does the director want this person? Is this Pulu more attractive to the director than Captain Ray? However, the experience of working together for many years tells her that as long as she doesn't reply at this time, the director who doesn't answer the call will soon return to normal.

"It might not make much sense to continue negotiations. This is not a problem that you can solve at your level." Eddie did not live up to Odby's expectations and quickly returned to the topic, "You continue to do your business, this is what I am talking about. Get support from the top. By the way, how about the recruitment of Gundam test drivers?"

"Some people submitted resumes, but they didn’t meet the director’s requirements. It’s enough to deal with ordinary MS, but Zeta definitely can’t control them. Good pilots are probably monopolized by the Federation and ZAFT, and Diana has no extra talents. You can give it to us."

"There is still a period of time until the Zeta test drive, so I will look for it again. It's better to find it. It's really impossible. I will go on my own, as before." In the early stages of the development of the GP series, Anaheim did not have enough test pilots, Ed. I like it for a while. In fact, Ed really likes the feeling of driving up, but the test pilot is driving the product, if it is addicted to it, it will be uncomfortable, after all, it will be sold in the end. "Unfortunately, no double salary will be given."

Ed, who returned without success, washed the cup and returned to his office. Today’s work has been completed, and there is nothing to prepare for the general meeting of shareholders tomorrow. It’s only four o'clock and it’s not pretty after work. What should I do? Ed decided to combine work and rest to relax. He is the director, can he be called fish-catching in the matter of leadership?

Ed locked the office door, took off his shoes, lay lazily on the big sofa, and then turned on the music player—his office is very soundproofed, and he can't hear it outside. With the accompaniment, Lux's gentle singing gradually filled the entire space.

This is Lux's latest single "On the Field of Hope" which was released only the day before yesterday. The pre-sale pre-order has broken the historical record of single sales, and within 24 hours after the release, the number of downloads of the digital version is twice the pre-order. Ed has contributed a digital pre-order. As for the song itself reaching the top of the music charts, it is a matter of course for top queens like Lux, and it is news that it has not reached the top.

According to the analysis of online industry insiders, Lux is currently at the peak of her career, and her next single will continue to remain absolutely strong. As long as she doesn't leave the circle for a day, the other queens in the entertainment industry may never have a chance. Ed thinks it is completely understandable. For people who have experienced a year of war and understand what pain is, whether it is the earth or PLANT, this healing music can bring infinite comfort to people, and it is also called spiritual opium. Not an exaggeration.

But for Ed, who has not experienced the war and is just a bystander, Lacus's song can bring infinite emotion, but it is for completely different reasons. Ed looked at the empty ceiling dreamily, his thoughts gradually relaxed with Lacus’s singing...
