"Ding, your authority has been upgraded. Your current authority is sergeant, and your storage space has been expanded."
Xiao Ran listened to the voice in his mind. The series of voices almost made Xiao Ran surprised, but he felt incredible at the same time. He quickly raised his watch and looked at it carefully. After he really saw the series of prompts on the watch clearly, he suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
"It turned out to be Aegis Gundam. I thought it was a quota, but I didn't expect that the exclusive mechas rewarded by the mission were actually selected and assigned based on the mechas owned by the camp and the level within the camp. My current level is Orb. Of all the completed mechas, I'm afraid I only have Strike and Aegis Gundam."
"Ultimate Mission Card? You can come back at any time to continue the mission. Only five mission cycles are retained? Can you take one person away after completion?"
"What is the concept of having a favorable opinion that exceeds the full value? There are Kira and Bargyll? Kira can still understand it, but I can't understand Bargyll. You keep arguing with me and still have a full favorable opinion?"
"When the favorability level is full, you can trigger Side Mission and take that person away? But why does it prompt you only at the end of the task? Does this mean that you only have 48 hours to complete the favorability quota task? What's this cheating??"
Xiao Ran shook his head and sighed slightly, "Forget it, now I don't even know what Prometheus is. Even for Mwu, I have to be more rational. Now that I have Ultimate Mission Card, I can come back to this world at any time. By then, it will not be too late to complete the favorability quota task."
After taking a look at Archangel in the distance, Xiao Ran turned around and got on the helicopter parked on the ship. As soon as it took off, it flew in the direction of Orb's main island. The stopping place for Archangel had been determined, and Xiao Ran didn't have to waste time waiting for Archangel.
Xiao Ran has only forty-eight hours to leave this world. Every minute and every second is extremely important to him, especially the important objects related to future tasks. The restoration of Black Astray and Aegis Gundam is the current top priority.
The helicopter landed directly in Akatsuki Works. Let Xiao Ran get off the helicopter and enter the factory where Black Astray, Aegis Gundam, Strike Gundam and Rage Gundam are parked at this time.
It has been several days since Xiao Ran returned to Orb, and Black Astray has been repaired in a few days. After all, it was not damaged in the first place, except for a set of long scratches and the loss of Flight Pack. Similar to the Flight Pack currently used by Black Astray, several spare backpacks for Black Astray have been prepared under mass production in the factory, and they can be used as long as they are installed.
The damage to Rage Gundam has been repaired, and it is standing quietly next to Black Astray, waiting for its owner to start it up again.
What Xiao Ran really wants to see is Aegis Gundam, which has basically completed the repair work. When Aegis Gundam was recovered by Orb, it was almost It is a pile of broken scrap metal. The only parts that can be used after repair are the head and limbs of Aegis Gundam. The torso is also the most important part of Aegis Gundam, and it is also the most severely damaged part.
Fortunately, Akatsuki Works's technology is powerful, and there are also many powerful Technicians. He managed to rescue most of the data from Aegis Gundam's Database. Combining the rescued data with the wreckage of Aegis Gundam, he was able to deduce all the missing things.
With the information, the rest is simple. Akatsuki Works processed and added points to start the repair work, re-manufacture where it was necessary, and modify where it was necessary to modify. During this process, Akatsuki Works and Technicians also added some of their ideas for the deformed body. After such a long time, the body was finally repaired, and substantial improvements were made on the original basis.
And if Xiao Ran hadn't learned that his second exclusive machine was Aegis Gundam after completing the mission, maybe he hadn't even discovered that Aegis Gundam had been repaired.
Perhaps it was God's arrangement. During the process of improving the airframe, Xiao Ran was used as the pilot template to modify the airframe. The person who tested the new Aegis Gundam also chose Xiao Ran as the test pilot.
As soon as Xiao Ran entered the factory, his eyes were directly on Aegis Gundam. When he saw Aegis Gundam's appearance at this time, he was also a little stunned.
Today's Aegis Gundam has changed a lot from the original Aegis Gundam. The Kraken Energy Cannon that was originally located on the abdomen has been moved to the chest, allowing Aegis Gundam to be used even when it is not transformed into MA. The original high-energy Beam Gun was replaced by a long Beam Cannon. The mainly black shield was modified into a style that can be used for close combat. At the bottom of the shield are three sharp Beam Saber facing the same direction. The shield can be used as a pair of sharp claws.
The appearance of this shield has also changed even more from the original. First of all, there are things like wind wings on the top and two sides of the shield. After a quick glance, this shield gives Xiao Ran the same feeling as the deformable body shields of Wing Gundam, Z Gundam and so on.
It feels that way, but this shield doesn't have much curvature. It looks like it should be improved from the original shield.
The changes to the shoulders, legs, and arms are not major, there are only some slight differences, but at the originally pointed positions of the shoulders, there is an additional spike on each side that is the same as the shield. There are also corresponding spikes on the elbows and knee armor. These spikes and the spikes on the shield are called mechanical claws by Technicians.
The biggest change is probably the waist propulsion module on the side. The propulsion module, which originally had only a slight angle, has been completely redesigned. It no longer has the original width, making the propulsion module a little narrower. But when he looked carefully, Xiao Ran immediately raised his eyebrows. He found that this propulsion module was similar to the one of Z Gundam, except that one was hung behind his back and the other was hung on his waist.
Moreover, the thruster module of Aegis Gundam is now more three-dimensional, which also results in a single thruster module having four thruster ports one behind the other, two smaller ones and two normal-sized ones. The two add up to eight thrust ports, not counting the thrusters on the back.
What is even more unexpected is that inside these two thruster modules, there is also a long, angle-changeable high-energy Beam Gun. It is obvious at a glance that it can be attacked under MS Form and MA Form.
These changes in Aegis Gundam made Xiao Ran a little confused, so he quickly found a technician to explain them to him.
After listening to Technicians's explanation, Xiao Ran nodded with indescribable joy in his heart. This joy quickly turned into excitement.
After the transformation, today's Aegis Gundam no longer looks like an octopus, but actually resembles an MA in the form of an airplane. In other words, today's Aegis Gundam already has the ability to fly in the atmosphere, even under MS Form.
In terms of armament, the original weapon was replaced by the long High-energy Beam Cannon. The Kraken Energy Cannon can also shoot under the MS Form, and can also use the two high-energy Beam Gun on the flight module. Under MA Form, although the Kraken Energy Cannon is blocked and cannot be used, High-energy Beam Cannon and two high-energy Beam Gun can be used. The firepower of the three weapons is also greatly enhanced compared to the original Aegis Gundam, which can only use one Kraken energy run under MA Form.
Under MA Form, the maneuverability and speed have completely exceeded the original, and it has even achieved a speed faster than Black Astray. It can also fly at supersonic speeds in the atmosphere. MS Form can also be compared with the speed of Black Astray. The two thruster modules have battery energy packs put into them respectively, and they are also at the same level as Black Astray in terms of energy.
What surprised Xiao Ran even more was that Akatsuki Works had successfully developed VPS Armor and used it on this Aegis Gundam. The abundant energy made Aegis Gundam change its color to black after starting VPS Armor. Only a few unimportant places were restricted to red for the sake of energy saving.
Originally Xiao Ran was excited to fly Aegis Gundam for a test, but found out that the body was not completely completed and it would take almost two days to test.
This time coincided with the deadline for Xiao Ran to return to Prometheus, which finally made him reluctantly give up the idea. After looking at it for a long time, he reluctantly turned around and left after hearing that Archangel had entered the port.
When they arrived at the dock where Archangel was parked, they saw Mwu walking out of Archangel slowly. Xiao Ran took off the mask on his face, ran towards Mwu with a smile, and then Mu, Kira, Bargyll and others looked at her in astonishment. They picked up Mwu and spun him around several times. Mwu's face instantly turned red, and he pushed Xiao Ran away in embarrassment.
After smiling at Mwu, Xiao Ran walked up to Mu, Bargyll and Kira, and said in a happy mood, "Welcome to come back to Orb. This time you will have no chance to leave."
"If I had known it was like what you said, we really might as well not have gone to Alaska." Mu smiled bitterly, shook his head and hit Xiao Ran's chest. "You are right, Earth Force is not a good thing at all, hahaha."
Bargyll glanced at Xiao Ran, then at Mwu, then saluted Xiao Ran with a military salute and said formally, "Please take good care of me from now on."
Xiao Ran smiled and patted Bargyll on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything for you."
"From today on, Mu. La Flag, Nataru. Bargyll, Mwu. Lamias, are officially promoted to the Orb Army third Space Fleet lieutenant colonel, Mwu is the flagship Archangel Captain, Mu is the commander of the MS team, and Bargyll you will become Third Fleet my adjutant, cooperating with me to be responsible for all the work of Third Fleet. The entire Third Fleet will be carried out by the people of Orb, and your appointment letters will be issued soon."
"Xiao Ran?" Mwu looked at Xiao Ran in astonishment. The latter waved his hands slightly and said seriously to the three of them, "The situation in the world is still very complicated now. Although Earth Force and The battle of ZAFT has temporarily stopped, but both Earth Force and ZAFT hold trump cards that can directly destroy the other party. Whether it is for the peace of the world or for your own life, you'd better obey my arrangements."
"There's nowhere to go anyway." Mu shrugged and stretched out his hand to Xiao Ran. The two shook hands lightly and then let go. Mu immediately saluted Xiao Ran with a military salute. Soon, Bargyll and Mwu also made the same move.
In the evening of the same day, the Asaha representative who took time out met with the former Earth Force officers headed by Mwu, Mu, and Bargyll, and delivered some speeches, and also prepared a small cocktail party for these people. Mwu, Mu and Bargyll were called out individually, along with Kira, Dearka and Nicol.
After Xiao Ran once again combined Genesis and N-Jammer Canceller, and deduced that soon ZAFT and Earth Force would once again break out into a bigger war, which would even involve Orb, everyone also understood a little bit about Xiao Ran's thoughts. Xiao Ran went on to explain that he hopes to gather more forces. These forces include Klein Faction, who is now able to fight against Sarra Faction, as well as neutral forces such as Scrap Merchant Guild. The idea of gathering together as a third party force to prevent the war when a war breaks out between the two sides was recognized by everyone present.
Everyone discussed until very late and then left. Xiao Ran originally wanted to leave Mwu, but was rejected by Mwu and could only sigh helplessly and send Mwu, Mu, and Bargyll back. After getting on Archangel, Kira naturally wanted to go back, but Dearka actually pulled Nicol and ran to Archangel, which made Xiao Ran look funny.
Early the next morning, an internal meeting belonging to Third Fleet, which had not yet been formally established, was held in a conference room of the Orb Island National Defense Force. Some of the middle-level members of the original Earth Force participated. Officers, Mwu, Mu, Bargyll, at this time they have all put on the military uniforms belonging to Orb, and there are also officers who belong to Orb.
Dearka, Nicol, and Kira wore Akatsuki Works's clothes to observe. At the meeting, Xiao Ran announced their respective fates. The entire Third Fleet will be dominated by Xiao Ran, Mwu, Bargyll, and Mu will be the core. Orb Army will control the overall situation. The original The officers of Earth Force were responsible for implementing the policy and began to organize the work for Third Fleet, and Xiao Ran also selected one person from the officers of Orb to serve as an adjutant. This person was Kisaka who had socialized with everyone in Archangel in North Africa.
Xiao Ran, who knew that he was about to leave, handed over all the work to Kisaka and Bargyll on the grounds that he had no experience, allowing the two to work together without asking for his opinion, and completely delegated the entire power of Third Fleet to the two. In the following time, I ran backwards and followed Mwu to guard Mwu until the final time came.
It was almost time to return. Xiao Ran sent a regularly scheduled voice message to Mwu, Bargyll, Kisaka and Mu, telling them that they needed to investigate a very important matter and needed to leave for a short period of time. After that, they left Orb's island alone, closed their eyes in a deserted place and returned.
After feeling dizzy for a while, Xiao Ran opened his eyes, turned around and looked around. This was the Gnakuli where he was before going to Gundam SEED World. The Gnakuli, which originally had only an empty operating console, had already placed it at some point. I boarded two MSs, one was Black Astray, who was operated by Xiao Ran, who had fought many times and achieved numerous results, and the other was Aegis Gundam, who Xiao Ran was very eager to use but had never used it.
"I'm back...Prometheus..." Xiao Ran muttered as he looked at the two machines, and a feeling of loneliness arose spontaneously.
"Ding, Unit 678's newbie mission has been completed. Now we will begin the evaluation and final settlement of Unit 678."
SEED Arc It's over for the time being. It should be considered a relatively good ending at this level.
