Chapter 1863 Get the next one
The task of destroying BETA's ten lairs really made Zeng Jia and others feel a certain amount of pressure. If it were the machine Burning Legion prepared for them in Prometheus, not to mention just ten lairs, even if one person had ten lairs, no one would feel any pressure. The source of the pressure was not themselves, but half a year and the level of the machine.
Compared with the tasks of everyone on New Federation, the difficulty of the tasks of Amuro, Ingram, and Sman from the American team was neither high nor low. As for Yingge, he 'volunteered' to stay when the United States recalled the United Nations Army members, so he became the same as Zeng Jia and the others in terms of tasks.
Amuro, Ingram, and Sman accepted the same tasks, and the time limit was also half a year. They led X Unit to break into a nest and ensured that X Unit's loss rate was less than 30%.
This mission requires Amuro and Ingram to spend more attention on X Unit, enhance X Unit's strength and choose a just-right nest to capture in order to better complete the mission.
And just half a month after Main Mission Three was released, when the whole world was still in a state of division and chaos, Yuzes, Giliam, Char, Zeng Jia, Elsam, Shin Matsunaga, Jonny, Inge and others went to the Far East together. With the cooperation of the Far East Army, a subordinate of New Federation, it took two days to capture the nest in the Far East.
After breaking through the battle lines composed of countless BETAs, they went deeper into the lair, buried several Reaction Missiles and blew the lair upside down. However, in this battle, Eshe, Harvey, Barnes, and Lala did not follow Zeng Ga and the others into a deeper place at all. Instead, they actively chose to evacuate after reaching a certain distance.
When Char, Zeng Jia, Yuzes and others returned from their mission, they could clearly see the red color on the machine they were driving, as well as various damages under the red cover. Each machine had damage of one kind or another, all of which were destroyed by physical attacks. Although everyone was fine, after this tentative forced attack, everyone did feel more pressure.
Although they are A-Class Pilot, there are many influencing factors in various aspects. There are too many BETAs and the environment in the lair is too complicated. More importantly, the performance of the body is still a little worse. Even the power and rate of fire of the weapons are still not enough.
It is very difficult to win a nest in the Far East. You must know that the nest in the Far East has not been established for a long time. Compared with the nests in the real BETA-occupied area Eurasian Continent that have been built for more than ten years or decades, they are just a newborn baby. Even the number of BETAs is not as good as that of the Eurasian Continent.
This lair has already put everyone under considerable pressure. If Eurasian Continent's lair could have been taken down so easily, there is no way to say clearly whether there will be greater damage. Yuzes, Zeng Jia, and Shirakawa Shuu suddenly became more cautious.
After a day's rest, they all sat together tiredly and began to discuss the next actions. Especially when Yuzes was attacking the lair, he spent a lot of energy and made a lot of achievements with his telekinesis. He just leaned on the sofa softly, without any trace of his previous arrogance.
Char was the first to speak, "After this nest battle, many issues have been verified."
"The machines currently manufactured are completely sufficient to face BETA in conventional combat. If there are more numbers, humans will gradually gain an advantage in the battle with BETA."
"However, if we switch to a small-scale operation like ours, and also target the nest, the performance of these aircraft is far from enough. They cannot maintain stable performance in longer battles. Many problems have been exposed in various aspects due to the material relationship, and they cannot support long-term battles with our technology. The same is true in terms of weapons."
"In the end, the only weapons everyone used were the Beam Saber. The beam weapons charged too slowly, were prone to overheating, had insufficient fire speed, and were not powerful enough. The problems had to be changed."
"What's more critical is that we must create a higher-grade, better-performing, and stronger body."
"Yes." Shirakawa Shuu also nodded, drank tea and said, "It is very difficult to use an aircraft with such performance to complete the task of wiping out the remaining nine nests just relying on the current strength. Eurasia's situation will definitely be more dangerous than that in the Far East."
"It is urgent to develop a new type of aircraft dedicated to us. However, if the current airframe can be expanded into mass production and fully refitted, we will be able to get more help. However, it will also take time to carry out the refitting and training of new pilots."
"But no matter which method we use, we should all proceed at the same time. Half a month has passed and there is not much time."
After Shirakawa Shuu finished speaking, Giliam said, "The two methods are carried out at the same time. Now the personnel are no longer separated as before, because their respective actions need to be done separately. Now we have gathered together except for Ingram. We have enough personnel to complete the manufacturing of the new machine body, the training of personnel, and at the same time grasp the dynamics of Federation."
Yuzes shook his tired brain and said, "I also need to remind everyone that in a short period of time, at least half a year, with the technological background and industrial foundation of this world, there is no way to produce the A-class mecha we need. The development of Ingram has been so peaceful and it has only produced a few B-class units. I estimate that even if we join forces, the highest level will only be B+ class."
"B-level is enough." Zeng Ga said calmly, "But this time, my machine's weapons must be configured completely according to my habits and methods. Each machine cannot consider versatility like before. It must build a machine that adapts to us in order to play more roles."
Yuzes, Shirakawa Shuu, and Giliam all nodded in agreement. Although the expressions on their faces could not be seen to change, there was still a heavy look in their eyes because the pressure was too great. According to the industrial standards of this world, there were too many things they needed to do.
Char exhaled and said, "The personnel arrangements are as follows, Yuzes, Shirakawa Shuu, Giliam, the three of you will lead the development of the body, Ramba, you will take over the front line of Far East Front on my behalf, Tetsuya, New Federation The integration work of the army is left to you, Qiao Ni and Shin Matsunaga are responsible for assisting, Zeng Jia, Elsam, Eshe, Harvey, Barnes, the five of you are responsible for the pilot training, and I will be responsible for New Federation."
