During this time when Victory Fleet is working hard to improve its combat power for the future, except for a very small number of people in the entire Victory Fleet who are still maintaining a normal pace of life, the rest are also working hard to devote all their free time to this.
Those who maintain a normal rhythm are naturally Xiao Ran, Mwu, and Sheryl. Judging from the current situation of the Burning Legion, the only thing that needs to be sharpened on the spot is the Basak body. Even if there are other problems, it is impossible to do it with so much work and so little time.
But for the vast majority of Victory Fleet pilots, even in this last period of time, they did not let these time go to waste. Instead of spending all their time with their relatives and friends, they let their relatives and friends accompany them. Around them, almost half of the energy is devoted to confrontation training, one-on-one, one-on-two, two-on-two, five-on-five, few-on-many, many-on-many, working hard to carry out actual combat or virtual confrontation, improving the strength and improving everyone's tacit understanding.
As for why they only invested more than half of their energy, it was because the rest of their energy had to be invested in the new airframes that they were upgrading, transforming or completely rebuilding. These airframes specially made for them were all special machines prepared according to the different characteristics and capabilities of each pilot. Without their cooperation, it would not be so easy to proceed.
Finally, Xiao Ran strictly requires that all Victory Fleet people must have the most adequate rest time and entertainment and relaxation time before departure. In order to meet this requirement of Xiao Ran, there will naturally be people who are constantly watching these pilots who have gradually become crazy and are willing to work harder to become stronger. Even if they are unwilling, they will be taken to a special resting place for rest or leisure.
After almost ten days have passed, judging from the report received from Renard, almost 80% of all the work arranged by Victory Fleet has been completed. Based on the expected time of half a month, it can be said that the work speed has been slightly advanced. Of course, there will be no problem in completing the remaining work in the last few days.
Most of the people's bodies have been completely processed, and the remaining few bodies only have the final finishing work. In fact, such a working speed can be achieved not only because the forces of the two worlds, Anaheim, PLANT, Orb, integration, and Nigal Heavy Industries, are so simple, although it is undeniable that they did give the most and most serious support in this operation.
But just for the Burning Legion, except for a few spare machines, all the other spare machines were sent to the moon. What do these spare machines represent? It represents the energy, weapons, accessories, components, skeleton, armor and backpack that can be directly disassembled from Renard without Mechanist Equipment to use.
These things that are useful can be directly disassembled and used, those that cannot fully meet the needs are immediately modified and used, and those that are completely unusable are all piled together. Of course, in terms of the design concept of these spare machines of the Burning Legion, although they are planned into several series, many things are universal, which greatly saves a lot of time.
The biggest benefit is, let's not talk about the performance, energy, and defense of the new machine for the time being. Just the Solar Furnace that comes standard with each machine is actually a huge improvement for the Burning Legion itself. Even if these Solar Furnace are different for different machines. The intensity of teacher improvement is also different, but the same thing is that every Solar Furnace can definitely greatly help Victory Fleet play the most important trump card at the most critical time, and that trump card is Xiao Ran who has the ability to control GN Particles.
On the contrary, the timeliness of the modification work on the battleships is much slower. Several people from the ship heavy industry are carrying out modification work on several ships almost 24 hours a day. When only a small part of the structure of the battleship itself can be modified, the workload can be said to be quite huge and troublesome, but fortunately, they are all proceeding step by step according to the planned time.
The person in charge of Science Fortress Research Institute, Kouji Kabuto's father Kenzo Kabuto, also personally found Xiao Ran and told Xiao Ran that he set off at Victory Fleet At that time, Victory Fleet will be given a huge combat power supplement. As for what kind of combat power supplement Kenzo Kabuto will be, Kenzo Kabuto did not say it. It just made Xiao Ran look forward to the surprise that Science Fortress Research Institute prepared for them.
Maybe it's because the surprise was not completed, so Kenzo Kabuto shouldn't be too direct or too clear, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing and a slap in the face if something unexpected happens and you can't get this surprise.
And in such a situation, with only a few days left before departure, the distress communication from NERV headquarters was connected to the Burning Legion.
When he heard that something happened again at NERV, Xiao Ran, who was doing other things, hurried back to the bridge. After seeing the anxious expressions of Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi, he asked directly without wasting any time, "What happened again?"
"The apostles appeared again." Misato Katsuragi spoke very quickly and said, "This time, several apostles appeared at the same time, and they were all apostles who had been eliminated by us before. For some reason, these apostles who had obviously been eliminated all appeared near the NERV headquarters."
While Misato Katsuragi was talking, he also turned the picture of the apostles to the Burning Legion. When Xiao Ran looked up, he really saw several apostles who had been killed. "Fourth Apostle, Fifth Apostle, Sixth Apostle, Seventh Apostle, Tenth Apostle, all the apostles that were killed before appeared!?"
Ritsuko Akagi took over the conversation and said, "Yes, the reason for the appearance of these apostles is unknown. The apostles that were eliminated under normal circumstances are absolutely impossible to reappear, but they appear here at such a time. With so many apostles, we feel that the current combat power of NERV is not enough to deal with them, so we hope that Victory Fleet can come over immediately to provide support."
Xiao Ran frowned slightly. It was really embarrassing to need support from Victory Fleet at this point in time. Eighty percent of the work on the moon side was completed. Many aircraft were indeed offline, but the key is that they have not yet undergone final debugging. The pilot and Technicians In the final debugging jointly carried out, under the current situation, those airframes cannot exert their full combat power. The only people who can be dispatched are Kira, Athrun, Amuro, the four people whose body modifications have been minimal and have already been completed.
It would really take some time to rush from the moon without a battleship jumping. As for the Burning Legion, the armors of Mazinger Z and Getter Emperor have all been dismantled and have not been reassembled, so there is no time.
Xiao Ran shook his head and asked, "Where are the forces on your side that can fight? Graham, Naluo, and Saki are all in NERV. With their help, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with a few apostles. In this way, put all the combat power you can use into it. Shinji Ikari and their abilities can cooperate with Graham and the others to deal with several apostles. There will be no problem. But just in case, I still go there myself."
