Traveling through the infinite wasteland

"It's not useless, but a complete failure. You know, when designing the Sky at that time, the group designed this model with the same positioning of high-end mass production machines as Pluto, but the cost of this Sky is higher than A Pluto plus two Hellfires is much more expensive and does not meet the requirements for mass production." Alicia said with a wry smile.

"No, it's so expensive." The girls all know that such a cost is very detrimental to winning orders from the military.

Just when the girls were lamenting the high cost of their transformation ability, a secretary-like person came to Alicia and said respectfully: "Miss Alicia, the children of Chengkong Academy's special class. Already arrived at the First Conference Hall.”

"Ah la la la, I actually forgot about the main thing. Yu Lan, Yu Fang, Yi Ao, I brought you here today to confirm the final style of your mecha."

Led by the secretary, a group of people quickly arrived at the conference room, where about fifty children were playing noisily, and these children all had one obvious thing in common, which was a pair of sapphire-colored eyes.

"These are children who were selected by the group to be loyal to the group from Chengkong Academy directly under the Superpower Association. They were originally supposed to help shape the armor. However, the time that should have been used to discuss the shape of the mecha was wasted by me." Alicia said with some self-blame.

"It's our fault. If we hadn't proposed to see the Phoenix as soon as we got here, I'm afraid my sister wouldn't have been distracted by us." Yulan said with some shame.

"Ah, ah, ah, now we have to hurry up. Lily, take these children to visit the non-confidential parts of the base first. In addition, notify the engineers to come." Alicia asked the secretary to take them The kids leave. Otherwise such a noisy environment would not be suitable for researchers to discuss issues.

More than a dozen engineers quickly came to the conference room and surrounded the three principals in a many-to-one manner. But this made the three girls suffer. The engineers asked questions one after another. At the same time, his hands were constantly modifying the three-dimensional model on the monitor for them to confirm, which made Yulan and the others a little tired of dealing with it. However, this allowed the mecha's appearance confirmation to be completed in just half an hour. Looking at the three mechas on the three monitors, the girls had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"These jobs are not difficult, aren't they?" Alicia asked the head engineer standing next to her.

"It's not difficult. In addition to casting the armor, we just need to modify the form of the light wing generator. Oh, and the melee models in Gemini, Death Star and Valkyrie's melee weapons need to be redesigned, because those two The lady requested the use of long weapons, but a month is enough to produce a finished product that meets the requirements." The old man pushed up his glasses, which were almost as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. Said confidently.

The three girls did not feel relaxed after completing the design. On the contrary, they had to assist the children with special abilities to shape the armor.

It might not be that troublesome if crystalline silver chromium alloy was used, but Alicia, based on the principle that all good things should be used by the Death Commandos, replaced these special machines with the latest research results. This kind of armor has just been reported to the Federal Research Institute and has not yet been officially named. It is internally named by the Aria Group's mecha research department as super-phagocytic silver-chromium alloy armor.

As its name suggests, superphage crystalline silver-chromium alloy is a fusion of superphageite and crystalline silver-chromium alloy. Superphage is an emerging mineral. It was discovered by a mining ship of the United Mining Group under the original Besman family in a galaxy filled with explosive gas and broken ice. It can convert atoms on the chemical element table. Elements with a lower number than iron are converted into their own exotic minerals. The mining ship also paid the price of killing more than ten workers when collecting this mineral. The reason was that the ore corroded the cargo hold composed of the ship's aluminum alloy frame, causing the airtightness of the cargo hold to be damaged. At the same time, these ores also emit infrasound waves when assimilating into the cargo hold. This sound, which was lethal at close range, killed and knocked unconscious the workers in the cargo hold, leaving these poor people to die violently. But the deaths of these people brought a brand-new mineral to mankind, a strange metal composed of most of the first fifty-six elements on the periodic table of chemical elements.

Superphageite is the most amazing metal currently known to mankind. Their composition is complex and they can assimilate any element they come into contact with that has a loose structure and has a lower atomic number than iron. Even inert gases will be partially converted by them after coming into contact with them. However, through the unremitting efforts of the Aria Group and the Long family's largest and most high-tech research institute before the group was formed, their secrets are still known to humans.

Superphage is a name given by people based on its assimilation properties, but those who study it in depth prefer to call it star stone, because its structural composition is almost the same as the elements contained in various stages of the life of a star. Starting with hydrogen, which has only a single atom, and ending with iron, which has the most stable nucleus.

Superphage Ore can be refined. People found that these ores, which were originally green or blue crystals, would melt under the high temperature. It melts into a mixture of various metals. The result of this conclusion is that people sow a large amount of superphage ore in some single-planet galaxies to promote the birth of this mineral and increase production. However, their devouring speed is very slow, so slow that even after seeding seven galaxies, people still need to find ways to increase their assimilation speed in order to have enough superphage ore to refine the sodium, aluminum, silicon and other metals that people need.

Humans are a little dissatisfied with the refining of superphage ore, and hope to get more things from superphage ore, such as allowing the superphage ore that has completed a life cycle similar to that of a star to complete the final stage of the star, thereby obtaining the precious metal gold, and Uranium needed for super energy nuclear energy.

However, these are obviously beyond the scope of science that humans can master and control. When the Aria Group was conducting research in this area, it also branched out to study how to make super-phages and things with higher atomic numbers than iron. Assimilation or integration.

The birth of superphage crystalline silver-chromium alloy was an accident during this research process. If a researcher had not accidentally spilled his orange juice and exposed it to superphageite and crystalline silver-chromium alloy, I am afraid that the best so far The armor is still crystalline silver chrome.

When the researcher was fired by the director of the laboratory for violating laboratory regulations because of this incident, his mentor, the research team leader of the laboratory, discovered that the two metal bonded parts that had been splashed with orange juice could no longer be separated, so The old professor, who was nearly sixty years old, furiously pulled his reckless student back from the group gate. and reported the incident to Alicia.

This young man named Nim still lost his career as a researcher, but Alicia gave him a lot of rewards after the punishment and still let him stay in the laboratory as a trainee researcher, which made this lucky man The guy was happy for a long time.

The performance of this new alloy is also amazing. The strength and toughness are 1.5 times that of crystalline silver-chromium alloy, and what's even more terrifying is that. This alloy actually has an automatic repair ability similar to biological wound healing. Of course, the essence of this healing ability is to assimilate air or substances that the metal comes into contact with, and this is also done when the damage itself does not exceed 20%. .

The old professor's report, coupled with the excellent strength, toughness and terrifying recovery ability of the new alloy, attracted Alicia's attention, and when she came to the laboratory with Primula, something more Something surprising happened.

"It's very obedient." Li Mu, who had always been taciturn, stood in front of the metal and said something puzzling, but the metal floated strangely in front of the white-haired little girl, gradually deforming and turning into a... Cute kitten look. It was exactly the same as the one Li Mu had been holding in her arms.

"Li Mu, can you shape it so that it is no longer disturbed by mental power?" Alicia asked. If this kind of metal can be easily kneaded into various shapes by mental power and cannot be shaped, then they No matter how good other performances are, it is useless, because the empire also has a lot of superpowers.

"Okay." The little girl's hair suddenly started to fly, and her body floated into the air. Then, a six-pointed star pattern appeared in her sapphire eyes, slowly rotating. As the pattern turned faster and faster, a storm visible to the naked eye expanded along with the girl. Knocking the surrounding researchers to the ground.

"It's so amazing." The uninjured researcher straightened up and sighed at the magic of superpowers.

Li Mu, who fell back to the ground, looked a little depressed, but there was still a proud smile on her pale smile. He said to Alicia: "Sister Alicia, I have branded this piece of metal. Now I am the only one who can modify the shape of this piece of metal."

"Thank you, Limu." Alicia gently pressed a kiss on the girl's forehead, and also decided that the other three girls must cooperate with the superpowers in the mental power amplification array provided by the superpower association. The hard work of putting their own stamp on their own mecha armor.

"Although this armor has excellent performance, it is too laborious to make." Looking at the three girls who fell asleep due to exhaustion of mental energy and the children who looked a little sluggish around them, Alicia smiled and said to her secretary He said, "Thank you for the hard work, kids. Take them to have a good rest."

While the three girls were busy casting armor, Li Lin's case was also mentioned on the agenda of the Federal Supreme Military Court. However, this case appears to be quite complicated. Five marshals of the Federal High Command, the Federal House of Representatives participated. The series of consequences of the actions of the imperial spies gave the presiding judge a headache.

"The situation is evenly matched now, it's time to add fire." Alicia doesn't want this balanced situation, because according to federal law, Li Lin will definitely be sentenced to death. In that case, she will be lucky The Phoenix was built without a pilot. Fortunately, Alicia still has three hole cards in her hand, and it seems that she only needs to play two to seal the victory.

The Aria Group's huge propaganda agency began to take action, and various civilian channels and even some military channels began to leak information about Li Lin's two brothers and sisters. The deeds of Li Lian, the communications officer of the flagship of the Elite Thirteen Fleet, the Logilas, who died in the Battle of Odessa, and the pilot Li An, who was injured in the same battle, were spread through the power of the media. In particular, people are paying more attention to the affairs of Ang Lee, a handsome young man who planned the Critical Point Battle and is regarded as a rising star.

Li Lin's willingness to join the Federation and the empire's assassination of Li Lin were also spread after Li An's deeds, which aroused the sympathy of the people and some soldiers to the greatest extent. She showed great tolerance for Li Lin's joining the Empire. After all, her relatives were all heroes fighting for the Federation.

Alicia's first card won the support of the people, and the third card she played turned the army upside down. The highest commander of the Federation in the capital star is the three-star general Qiao Jia. The highest commander of the federal fleet in the New Britain system is the four-star general Sauron. A joint letter of guarantee from all the members of the First Ace Fighter Squadron, the Red Pupil Squadron, and all the members of the commando team of the Federation's No. 1 Ace Fighter, the Reaper Commando.

The effect of the guarantee letter is not as strong as the guarantee letter, but this guarantee letter cannot be ignored, because it contains almost all the famous figures in the federation of the entire New Britain galaxy. The prestige of Iron Blood and Death among the pilots, the prestige of Hong Tong among the pilots, the prestige of Qiao Jia in the army command, and the prestige of Zoro in the fleet command can all be said to be quite high, so high that even No marshal can underestimate their appeal.

While Alicia was working hard, her good friends, Athena and Akala from the Superpower Association, were not idle either. They found out that Lin was a rare Rubedo superpower. The report was placed in front of the relevant personnel of the military department and the court, which completely confused these guys who had been almost fooled by Alicia's two cards. There was only one way in front of them, and that was to sentence Li Lin to join the Federation. Army, let bygones be bygones for what you did before.

This verdict made Wang Hong very angry, because not only did he get scolded severely by his marshal brother, but he also lost the blood king guard he had worked so hard to cultivate. When these assassins tried to sneak into the Li family, they were killed by the Death Saber reserve team who had been waiting for a long time. This was because the Long family secretly dispatched four times the number of Mingchu team members to hide around the Li family without the Wang family noticing.

On the other hand, Apduyi was also very depressed. Although he did not suffer any substantial losses, this incident caused his prestige among the people and the military to drop a lot, which made his backstage boss very angry.

In contrast to their depression, Alicia was in high spirits. The four girls chatted together in the beautiful seaside building of Aria Company. The warm atmosphere made Aka, who was resting in the company, chatting together. Li, Erica, and Alice, the youngest girls in the A-gen generation, couldn't help but join them. The older girls, Alicia, Athena, and Akara, were busy in the kitchen of the small building, making various snacks to celebrate Li Lin's release from prison. (To be continued.)
