The majestic appearance of Emperor Britannia, who controlled one-third of the entire earth, appeared on the screen. After speaking, the atmosphere of the meeting seemed to become more solemn. These words seemed to be investigating Lloyd for using a very easy to leak method to transmit Lancelot's data, or to submit an application for a new project.
"Your Majesty." Lloyd suddenly became respectful, bent down to the emperor in the video, and began to explain himself, "I trust the empire's communication encryption very much. I believe that no other country can lift our communication encryption. Although the research and development of Lancelot is indeed confidential, Lancelot itself is no longer It's such a big secret that all countries are competing to create the next generation of KF, even sending spies to use various methods to explore the progress of other countries. Therefore, compared to the rapid transmission of information, if I personally go to my country to submit a report, the data may be exposed even more. After all, if something like Princess Cornelia happens, all kinds of accidents are likely to occur on the way to my country."
Lloyd did not wait for others to respond, and then continued, "Besides, the report and new project research application I submitted only contained normal performance parameters, and the application only contained a general summary of the direction and future development expectations. It did not contain any substantial core data. This was just a normal daily work progress report and a normal exchange of ideas."
Lloyd is actually saying that Cornelia was attacked and injured on his home territory. Then maybe if he Lloyd really returns to his country with a lot of information, he may also be attacked and the information will be completely destroyed. Leak, and the report and application submitted are only necessary steps for daily work. Even if anything inside is leaked, it will not have any impact. It is just an application filing for a new project and a notification of completion of Lancelot, which does not reach the level of returning to the home country in person.
After listening to Lloyd's words, the His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment, nodded slightly to agree with Lloyd's argument, and said, "I have already read your project application, which means that now you are ready to continue developing the full New Generation Mecha, as well as complete concepts and ideas, is that right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lloyd said, "Although the report only explains the direction and outlook of the project, in fact I have a clear idea of these projects and have made many calculations. If the project can be approved and carried out, with Lancelot as the basis and practice, I believe that a better result can be obtained in about a year."
"One year." The emperor pondered, and then said after a pause, "You should already know that the enemy that originally attacked Cornelia, and the place where you are at Area 11, across the sea, have appeared a completely new type of machine. Do you think the Lancelot you are studying can compete with those machines, and whether the machine you can create in a short period of time can compete with those machines."
Lloyd shook his head. "I have only seen the video record of Princess Cornelia being attacked. Judging from the machines that appeared in the record, those machines also have the absolute performance to completely destroy and crush the current KF. This is consistent with the machine we developed. The Lancelot is the same and belongs to the category of Customized Mecha. I think if the Lancelot is flown by a suitable pilot, it should be able to compete head-on with those aircraft."
"In fact, if Princess Cornelia's Guard Force had all used a new era of KF like Lancelot, of course I am talking about the complete version here, then it is very likely that Princess Cornelia's injuries would have been avoided, and it was even possible to wipe out all the attackers."
"It's just that the mass-produced Lancelot has reduced the absolute performance of Lancelot in order to pursue cost. It may require a large-scale aircraft to compete with it. From this point, we can also see the absolute role that the super aircraft and Ace Pilot can play in war."
"But if the development of the new aircraft in the information I submitted is completed, it will definitely have the performance to overwhelm the current Lancelot. Even if it is mass-produced, even if driven by an average pilot, it should be able to compete with those Unknown Unit."
Lloyd said this. Xiao Ran looked at this guy and smiled silently while listening. He was a little unclear whether Lloyd was telling lies with his eyes open, or if he really didn't understand the condition of the machines that attacked Cornelia.
The location of Cornelia's attack was in the military base to which Britannia belongs. There are also records from the beginning to the end of the battle. Xiao Ran also watched it several times at Lloyd. From Xiao Ran's perspective, this should be just an attack similar to a retaliatory action., it was also a display of strength. It was not a deliberate attempt to kill Cornelia, so only a dozen or so machines were dispatched in total, and only one of them was a B-level machine. In the end, it was obvious that they did not want to make sacrifices. When the situation gradually became anxious and the base side became obviously crazy, they took the initiative to choose to retreat. Otherwise, Cornelia would have absolutely no reason to survive.
In the military base, there are a very large number of KFs. A whole army of KFs compete with this group of attackers. In Xiao Ran's view, although they are mainly KFs that are generally equivalent to D-level or D-level, these aircraft are combined with combat tanks, combat vehicles, fighter planes, etc., and the number exceeds the attackers by at least a hundred times.
Moreover, there are Cornelia and Guard Force, which are powerful guards that can basically display the strength of the C-level stage, and all the aircraft have been enhanced and modified. Even if they have not completely reached the level of C-level, the personal hard power of the pilot and the modified aircraft are almost stuck at the point of C-level, and the cooperation between them is definitely unmatched by participants who are accustomed to acting alone.
But even in this situation, Cornelia was still injured, and all the attackers evacuated. After all, under the entanglement of dozens of C-level machines, an ordinary B-class Pilot could easily fall into a dangerous situation, but that B-class Mecha not only became the culprit of Cornelia's injury, but also caused great losses to Cornelia.
But from Xiao Ran's point of view, one B-class Mecha will definitely not be the entire strength of this legion. If there are a few more B-class Mechas, or just one A-class mecha is taken out, it will really make the entire Britannia machine completely destroyed. Moreover, the legion that appeared and attacked the base where Cornelia is located this time, from Xiao Ran's current perspective, seems to be a bit suspected of being too big. If there is no B-class Mecha to hold the battle, it is estimated that the dozens of C-class mechas may also become the party that is completely wiped out.
Therefore, in this battle, it was very strange that Participant Legion and Native inhabitant abnormally showed a situation of competing with each other even though the real strength gap should be very large. Perhaps it was this situation that made Lloyd mistakenly believe that the other party's strength was estimated to be this situation.
From the perspective of these senior officials of the empire, this is a special force that emerged from nowhere and became the rebels of Britannia, and it also possesses advanced technology and powerful force. Could it be that it is secretly supported by an anti-Britannia country? It has also been making the empire's senior officials a little worried, and naturally they have paid more attention to Lancelot of Lloyd. This is also the reason why this meeting occurred so soon after Lloyd submitted the report.
And unknowingly, so many weird mechas have appeared in other countries, and what the empire can really use now is the just-completed Lancelot. This makes it difficult for the empire's senior officials, who have always had smooth sailing, to accept it. Even if Lloyd does not submit an application to develop a new mecha, the development of another generation of new mechas is actually ready to start immediately. Damn it, it just so happens that the almost completed Lancelot can be used as a supplement in the intermediate stage, but now Lloyd not only reports that Lancelot has been completely completed and can be mass-produced, but also submitted a development plan for the new body, which looks decent, which also makes Lloyd receive more attention.
"Perhaps there will really be some changes in the development of the war." His Majesty the Emperor said this softly, and then said to Lloyd, "Send all the detailed technology of Lancelot back to the country as soon as possible. One year, I will give you one year. During this year, the empire will give you all support, end all the work in hand as soon as possible, and bring all the specially assigned people back to the country to start the research project of the new body."
"Your Majesty." Lloyd slowly stood up straight after hearing the emperor's words and said calmly, "I hope that the development of new projects can still be carried out in District 11. The special agent has been in District 11 for a long time and has established an effective research and manufacturing process. After leaving This will only disrupt the hard-fought procedures, and the relocation and modification of equipment will also waste more time. Moreover, multiple projects of the new body are also inseparable from the large-scale consumption of cherry stones and the consumption of some special resources. Staying in District 11 is more conducive to the development of new projects."
"And I believe that Princess Euphemia, like His Majesty, will have the unconditional right to fully support the research work of the special mission. I guarantee that I will be able to come up with an answer that satisfies His Majesty in one year."
Lloyd is actually very talkative sometimes. First he refuses to leave in an orderly manner, then he flatters the emperor a little, and gives enough assurances, which is very reasonable and not too embarrassing.
The emperor seemed to take a deep look at Lloyd through the screen over there, and nodded slowly. "Okay, then just stay with Area 11. Do you have any other requirements besides this requirement?"
Lloyd was not afraid or panicked, and said directly, "Your Majesty, it would be great if you can support us in sending a group of personnel. I need a series of experts and professionals in materials, energy utilization, structural technology, etc. Technicians to supplement it. After all, the newly submitted airframe project is a completely new structure that is completely different from KF. It will be very difficult to carry out all aspects of work just by relying on these people currently dispatched."
The emperor said, "In terms of personnel, you can write a list yourself. I will ask the people on the list to help you. I will also send some people to assist you in your research. You will also send the complete project plan and the specific data of Lancelot."
Lloyd bowed and said, "Yes."
After a brief silence, the screen went black, which also meant that this short and special video conference was over. After Lloyd turned off the equipment required for the video conference, he turned and looked at where Xiao Ran was. "The project has been established. Today I will start preparations for the new project, and I will do my best to give you what you need within three months."
"It's just that you have to deal with the personnel sent to monitor you. Otherwise, I won't be able to do things for you unscrupulously."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded slightly and said, "When the time comes, you can think of a way to bring everyone together, and I will do the rest."
"Although I don't know what method you would use to do such a thing." Lloyd squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter. What you want to do is your business. I am only responsible for manufacturing the body you want, but I want to remind you If you are the person sent by His Majesty, you will not be bribed so easily, and I have reason to believe that the guards and surveillance personnel who led the team this time are likely to be one or more of Knights of the Round."
"You can't bribe just because the benefits of bribery are not enough." Xiao Ran stood up straight and chuckled, "And to be honest, you still know too little about this Truth of the World. Sometimes controlling a person is not just a threat. The method of bribery also has some power beyond the imagination and understanding of ordinary people."
Lloyd showed a thoughtful expression. "Jeremiah's situation at that time... I see, if that's the case, it would be a very interesting thing. Then I should also thank you for not using that method to control me."
"Haha, I won't forcefully control other people's abilities like that." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said noncommittally, "But if you want to know more about it, I can help you get in touch."
Lloyd's eyes flickered twice. "Oh, then I really want to see it."
Xiao Ran nodded without speaking, but thought about another question in his mind, "The emperor's behavior was a bit too normal, and everyone in the video conference also acted too normal. It is true that he is concerned about Lloyd's project research, it is true that he cares about it, and he is true that he is anxious. Isn't there no legion who chooses to join the empire's camp? No, that's not right!"
"Worried, yes, at least there was no worry on the emperor's face. Or is it that a legion has already joined the empire and come into contact with this His Majesty the Emperor?"
