Xiao Ran came over before and saw that the place where many people were busy was now completely dark. The original busyness and noise had all turned into darkness and silence. There was not even a single person there. They were all dismissed by Lloyd and fled away as if they were running away.
Saki has been to this place more times than Xiao Ran. After walking into this dark space, he walked to a corner with thumping footsteps. He stretched out his hand and filled the space with light again. The completed machine appeared directly in front of Xiao Ran's eyes.
Xiao Ran raised his head and quietly looked at the gray body in front of him. Because the body had not been started, the body using VPS Armor also appeared in black and white, which looked very monotonous. However, Xiao Ran learned from the data that this body would have a black and gold paint after it was started. This paint was mainly chosen to match Black Knights.
The overall armor of the machine body shows the style of knight armor. The shoulder armor has a three-layer superimposed semicircular structure, an armor-like skirt, and a Knight Lance. There is a beam launch port at the front of the gun body, which has two modes of energy gathering and launch. Therefore, this Knight Lance is also a long-range Standard Beam Rifle. It also has four adjustable beam launch ports for long-range attacks, and the rear end of the gun handle can be used for remote attacks. He pulled out a high-concussion saber, and at the same time there was a cross shield with the Black Knights logo on the front and Beam Saber on both sides of the waist. The rear was the folded flying wings. When folded, it looked like a strange-looking solid cloak. Once the cloak was unfolded, it would turn into twelve feathers of different lengths, and it was also the most important weapon of the machine GN Dragoon.
Saki Maski walked back to Xiao Ran, also looked at the machine body and said with his hands behind his back, "This machine body has been fully assembled, the self-test has all passed, and no problems have been found in the energy cycle. The program and completion are theoretically no problem, but Lloyd has no way to test the transmission and use of GN Particles. In addition, the overall performance test of the machine body and parameter adjustment have not yet been carried out."
Xiao Ran nodded. "The parameters, system and GN Particles can only be handled by me personally. Is there any place for testing here?"
Saki Maski thought for a while, "I remember that I applied to build an internal small test venue before. It was rebuilt from the original academy's stadium. It was originally prepared for Mass Production Prototype Machine. It can be used to test the movement, stability and balance of the machine body. There is no way to conduct combat tests. It is about the same size as the small internal test venue of Akatsuki Works. It should have been completed by this time."
SEED World Orb Akatsuki Works Xiao Ran certainly knows about the small test venue, which is about the size of a football field. General attack tests and flight tests cannot be carried out in this kind of venue. It is a place used to test basic action tests such as running, jumping, walking and rolling, stability testing, and balance testing. However, if there is such a venue in the research institute, it will be enough for Xiao Ran.
Saki stretched out his hand and pointed to the large and small special containers neatly placed on both sides of the machine body, and said, "These boxes are all filled with spare parts for this machine body. I don't know how long they can last, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, Lloyd can already manufacture the parts of this machine body on a small scale. If necessary, we can just make them."
Xiao Ran Taking a closer look, there are really a lot of boxes stacked up. It would take several large trucks to transport them. If they are all filled with spare parts for the new body, they will last for a long time.
However, so many spare parts made Xiao Ran think of another question, "I'm afraid these spare parts can be used to assemble a brand new body."
Saki Maski shook his head. "I also asked Lloyd this question specifically. His answer was that in theory it should be like this, but there is no way to solve the problem of energy. Now there is only one energy source in the world to match this machine. It is installed on this body, so there is no way to build a second body like this for the time being, and there is no need to worry about the design of these parts being leaked, because they were all basic parts when they were originally manufactured, and the final assembly of the components was all completed in this research institute."
"Then I'm relieved." Xiao Ran nodded and said. The problem he just thought of is that it is absolutely impossible for the special unit to slowly hammer out so many parts. In this case, there will be a lot of risks of exposing the design of the machine body. However, if only the basic parts are made and finally assembled in the special group, then this risk will be much smaller. At least you don't have to worry about flying this machine to attack only to find an identical machine body in front of you in a few days.
But then I thought about it and Xiao Ran felt that he was overthinking it. After all, this machine is a 'non-existent' machine. How could Lloyd leave such a big clue to others? Even if parts are ordered from certain factories, they cannot be the same as they are, and there will be 100% chance of something happening inside.
But thinking about it this way, Xiao Ran feels that he has been wronged Lloyd. If all the parts customized from the factory cannot be directly applied to this machine body... ahem... then the workload seems to be a bit larger indeed.
Xiao Ran clicked his tongue twice and couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said to Saki: "Then if we are making an identical machine body, how long will it take at the fastest?"
Saki rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, "Maybe it will take about a month. Many parts have spare parts and can be used directly, but the energy aspect still needs to be rebuilt."
Xiao Ran said, "Then let him get one out so that you can use it."
"Forget it." Saki shook her head, waved her hands and said with a smile, "I feel like Lloyd is almost crying during this period. If I ask him to make one again, he will definitely cry. And I think Variable Fighter is pretty good. Anyway, Lloyd has completed Variable Fighter according to the original drawings. I have no chance to carry out combat missions."
Xiao Ran thought about it and nodded. Although in Xiao Ran's opinion, even if Variable Fighter was completely completed by Lloyd's hands, the core of the body is just that, and the upper limit is only that high. If it is really It will be very safe if Saki needs to be used in battle. Xiao Ran will feel more at ease with a new machine. However, since the special mission has been busy for such a long time, it needs a good rest, and now it is true that there is no need for Saki to go to the battlefield, so there is no problem in delaying this matter for a while.
"Okay, let's do this for the time being, wait until they get over this period of time." Xiao Ran waved his hand, walked to the front of the aircraft and pressed a button at the collective feet, opened the cockpit of the aircraft and lowered the lifting rope. He followed the slow rise of the lifting rope and jumped into the cockpit.
Sitting in the cockpit and looking at the original cockpit, which is a separated cockpit composed of left, middle and right main and auxiliary displays, I don't think much about it. If Full-Cycle Cockpit can't get it out, it can only be supported by this ordinary cockpit. Full-Cycle Cockpit It's really not as simple as everything hitting the corresponding display.
Started the body system, took out the personal computer and started to overwrite the body's main control system and operating system. After the overwriting was completed, a self-check was performed. After the self-check, the parameters were adjusted. With these operations, the hair of Xiao Ran sitting in the cockpit also stood up. Emitting a faint green light, dense GN Particles poured out of his body, then entered the GN Particles transmission pipe through the internal structure in the cockpit, and finally entered the GN Particle Storage Tank built into the body.
As the system coverage and self-test work were completed, a progress bar and a countdown appeared on the left side of the system's main screen that began to slowly charge. The twelve-hour countdown did not change the color of Xiao Ran's face. It only increased the surging speed of its own particles to charge the body faster.
How long the normal consumption of particles in the storage tank can be used after complete recharging needs to be tested to know. However, if the output standard of C-class mecha is followed, there will be no problem in going through a complete battle. However, if it is calculated based on the consumption of A-class mecha, the time will be greatly reduced, and this still does not take into account the large-scale dispersion of GN Particles.
But fortunately, the main energy source of this machine is not GN Particles, but deuteron energy. GN Particles is only used as an auxiliary energy, and there is also Xiao Ran that can continue to maintain the charging effect. Normal use can theoretically reach unlimited, even in high-intensity combat, there will be no problems. After all, Xiao Ran itself is a Solar Furnace He can do everything and Solar Furnace can do, even three reds are no problem. And in the 00 Gundam movie version, there is only one Solar Furnace body that can last for a very long time. This is just Xiao Ran under normal conditions. If it is after Quantum Assimilation, it will be a completely different matter.
Saki was also not idle when Xiao Ran started to be busy. Today's machine still has countless cables connected to the computers in the hangar. Xiao Ran is inspecting and modifying the machine inside, and at the same time, of the machine is Particle Storage Tank is charging, and Saki is also using the host machine under the body to also help Xiao Ran with corresponding work, confirming the adaptability and controllability of the new system and body parts, and seeing what needs to be adjusted a little bit while conducting appropriate tests.
By the time all the work that needs to be done is completed, two or three hours have passed. After all, this is a brand-new machine body that has not been truly tested. The work to be done is indeed better than the work that Xiao Ran had to do before when he got the two machines of Mazinger Kaiser and Soul Reaver. Although the machine body cannot make too big movements, the running-in of small movements, such as raising hands and feet, clenching and punching, and adjusting the angle of the ejection port, can all be carried out in the current state. In addition to covering the system and charging Particle Storage Tank, the two or three hours of time were spent on these areas.
It was after noon on Area 19's time on the next day that Lloyd appeared in front of Xiao Ran, looking like he had slept well but had not had enough rest. Compared to the way Xiao Ran saw him the day before, he was a completely different person, much more energetic, and his market-like smile appeared again on his face.
"Yo." When he saw Xiao Ran and Saki sitting in his office, Lloyd didn't mind at all or was surprised. After entering the office, he took out his right hand from his pocket and greeted Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran just nodded after seeing Lloyd, raised his left hand to signal Lloyd to wait, and then put his eyes back on his Personal Terminal screen, communicating with Cornelia who was far away from Area 19 through the headphones he was wearing, super-remotely commanding and arranging the combat missions there.
Xiao Ran had a good rest the night before, but he didn't forget the situation at Area 19. It wasn't until yesterday that Xiao Ran and Saki dealt with some of the body matters. Now this is the second time Xiao Ran has Area 19 contacted Area 19. The previous one lasted about an hour, but this time it lasted for three hours. Lloyd appeared at this time and Xiao Ran had already solved the problem on Cornelia's side.
Without letting Lloyd wait too long, Xiao Ran interrupted the communication with Cornelia, but Personal Terminal kept displaying all the information about Area 19. Although the screen was not too big, it was enough to accommodate All the information required by Xiao Ran does not require Xiao Ran to perform any operations by hand. Personal Terminal can directly send out various information and commands that Xiao Ran needs to edit. Of course, this relies on Xiao Ran's telekinesis.
He raised his head and looked at Lloyd. Xiao Ran said directly, "It's almost time to rest. Have the personnel arrangements been made?"
Lloyd sat back on the chair and waved his hands lazily. "Everything was arranged before the break yesterday. Work will officially start after two o'clock, with three shifts of eight hours each. This is what you said the next work will not be too much."
"There won't be too many third shifts. Saki and I have already handled part of the work while you were resting yesterday. We have conducted some detailed tests on the new system covering the machine body. However, we have also found some problematic areas that need to be dismantled and processed. All problems are marked on the maintenance computer. If there are no problems, let the people below deal with them directly."
Xiao Ran said and stood up, "It's almost time now. If you haven't eaten, let's go get something to eat and then we will start working. The situation at Area 19 cannot be delayed for too long. Once the EU finds out that I am not at Area 19 but instead came to Area 11, they will 100% take advantage of this opportunity to launch a strong attack. The sooner the machine is completely completed, the safer it will be."
