The transport ship left Brown City, which was filled with various supplies needed by White Base, including water, food, ammunition, fuel, materials, various tools and a dozen Technicians, and even There were also three Zakus on board. Anaheim Company was supposed to come out to deliver Zeon's body, but Cardias intercepted three of them from the middle and stuffed them into Transport Aircraft.
These supplies will be completely replenished on White Base, and Technicians will conduct a comprehensive inspection of White Base, which is still the most elite warship of the Earth Federation Army, record and copy all the parameters of White Base and then send them back to Anaheim Company. Two damaged Zaku will also need to be repaired. Zaku plus the newly shipped Zaku, plus Guncannon in White Base, a total of seven units will become The escort force of White Base will also serve as a training machine for many personnel, allowing them to master the D-level Piloting Skill and completely complete Main Mission II within one month.
In addition, the Anaheim Company branch of the transport ship had to carry out the modification work when returning the three Gundams back to the moon. According to the technology given by Xiao Ran, the three units were modified and equipped with different weapons, so that the three general-purpose units were completely transformed into For a specialized aircraft, the appearance must be significantly changed so that it can be used by specialized pilots, so that the aircraft can appear openly in everyone's eyes. All parts of the propeller must be replaced, and the main energy source must be added in the form of a backpack to enhance the combat endurance of the aircraft.
When the transport ship arrived at White Base, some people in the battleship who could not hold back seemed to see hope. As the identities and positions assigned by Anaheim Company were distributed to everyone's heads, all the participants in White Base couldn't wait to "passively" join Anaheim Company's camp.
Naturally, the prompt of Prometheus will also show whether to join the camp. However, unlike the prompt received by Xiao Ran, the name of the camp that appears in the prompts of new and old participants, including Naluo, is slightly different from that of Xiao Ran:
"Would you like to join the Rebel Army-Anaheim Company camp?"
In the prompts received by Xiao Ran, the prefix of Anaheim Company is Death Merchant, while in the prompts of Naluo and others, the prefix of Death Merchant became Resistance Army. This is also caused by the change in the ideas of the Bist family, the actual leader of Anaheim Company and the leader recognized by Prometheus. Originally, they wanted to become the Death Merchant. Because of the emergence of the hyperspace navigation engine, the powerful Kardias and Saiyam set their sights on the farther universe. If they want to use the hyperspace navigation engine to develop cosmic resources, a stable rear area, that is, the earth, must ensure the stability and peace of the situation. Naturally, they transformed into a resistance army that resisted the Earth Federation and the Zeon War in order to seek peace.
It is precisely because of this change in prefix that the newcomers who were stranded on White Base did not even have the slightest doubt about the identity of Naluo, Captain Jeffrey and others, and completely regarded them as local figures in this world and as important officers in the Rebel Army, especially when El-Elf was anxious in the name of the Rebel Army. After everyone on White Base gave a speech and showed the consequences of the war between Earth Federation and Zeon Army in the form of materials, these participants all "joined" Rebel Army again with "righteous indignation", joined MS Piloting's study courses one after another, and "swore" to fight for world peace.
Xiao Ran on the moon naturally had no idea what El-Elf was doing in White Base. Due to communication interference, the communication between the two parties was temporarily cut off and unable to contact them. They could only wait for the return of the transport ship to learn the current news about White Base. Xiao Ran would also take out his communicator and try to contact Char at the same time every day. The failure to contact him naturally meant that Char had not reached the moon yet, and time passed slowly.
Cardias established a new department in the Anaheim Company Moon Branch, and mobilized the trustworthy Technicians to enter this department and start developing MS under the guise of a more secretive organization within the department that only a few people knew about. After finishing the work, we began to comprehensively analyze the M1 Astray data produced by Xiao Ran. For this purpose, two factories were specially assigned to this department, one on the bright side and one in the shadow. At the same time, they began to tentatively manufacture M1 Astray according to the technical data.
The sixth person who came out of White Base at the same time, but has been separated from the team, also officially returned to the team during the day after Xiao Ran and Cardias reached an agreement, and joined Anaheim Company under the pseudonym Serra Mas as a war refugee. They separated because of safety concerns for Artesia. They were worried that if there was an identity issue or the negotiation with Cardias broke down, Artesia, a person without combat capabilities, would be in danger, and a person would have to be distracted from protection, so there was no contact.
Now that Xiao Ran has officially invested in Anaheim Company, these worries no longer exist and it is natural to return to the team. Artesia joined Anaheim Company, and followed her dream to become one of the trainee medical staff, and began to study professional aspects in a limited time.
Xiao Ran fully took over the development and manufacturing of new mobile suits. Luca and Saki Maski also joined as Xiao Ran's helpers. Although Xiao Ran and Saki Maski are not good at technical things, Luca can only There is a little bit of understanding, but although the three of them don't understand, Cardias has arranged many people who can understand. Xiao Ran only needs to put forward his own opinions to Technicians based on the aircraft he has flown and combat experience. The more work is to maintain the confidentiality of the entire organization.
Another nearly ten days have passed. For a department that develops new MSs, it is impossible to achieve anything in ten days. But for a secret organization that follows complete drawings and has complete facilities, sufficient Technical Strength and production capacity, ten days are enough to bring huge gains.
When a mobile suit code-named AE-0 stood in the factory, Xiao Ran seemed to see M1 Astray rushing towards Earth Federation's battle formation in the size of a group army, causing huge damage to the Earth Federation Army and burning a series of countless fireballs.
Although the body of this AE-0 is just a super-reduced version of M1 Astray, and the energy source is Minovsky reactor from Zaku II. It has no weapons, no armor, no thrusters, and even no weapon interfaces. However, except for the energy source, the technologies presented in it are all built with the technology in the M1 Astray data.
Although it is just a machine that can only be used for viewing and testing but cannot be used in actual combat, Mass Production Possibility represents this kind of machine. For Qadias, it has confirmed the authenticity of this information and the credibility of other information. The next thing to do is to use this AE -0 continues to complete, and finally makes this AE-0, which represents Anaheim Company's first "independently" produced MS, become a body that can truly be used in actual combat. The meaning is completely different from that of producing Zaku II for the Zeon Army.
It will take nearly ten days to continue to complete the machine body and modify and adjust the existing equipment during the completion process to achieve the purpose of expanding production. However, once the machine body is completed, it means that Cardias has put a lot of effort into it. In the recent period, materials have been secretly transported through various methods, and the factory that transports the equipment can start the real production work of M1 Astray.
After confirming the accuracy of the data, Cardias directly ordered not to waste time on analyzing the data. There is no need to understand the technical content and just refer to the things in the data for production like an idiot. Anyway, Anaheim Company is completely satisfied with the manufacturing industry of M1 Astray. Technicians just needs to start production directly according to the content in the data, which can be much faster in terms of speed.
By that time, the standard manufacturing cycle of a M1 Astray may be compressed to one week, and each cycle can produce ten units at the same time. In this way, it will only take a short time to fully equip the team members.
Cardias, who is in high spirits during happy events, always smiles on Tiandu's face. At the same time, he also keeps other technologies well preserved.
In addition to this good news, the transport ship heading to White Base also returned to Brown City, and the three Gundams it was transporting were also sent to the factory by Cardias, a person with great power in Brown City. After convening another group of people, they also began to transform the Gundams at the same time.
The transport ship also brought the situation on White Base's side. After reading the reports of El-Elf and Captain Jeffrey, Xiao Ran was also completely relieved about White Base's side, and was only waiting for the arrival of Char.
One early morning, Xiao Ran was preparing to go to the factory and turned on his communicator again to contact Char. The communicator did not return the message that communication could not be communicated as usual. The message "Connecting" appeared immediately shocked Xiao Ran. At this time, there were only a few days until the completion of AE-0. He did not expect that Char would come to the moon in this time.
Not long after, the magnetic voice of Char came from the communicator and said in a calm tone, "Alex?"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Ran could confirm that the person on the other side of the communicator was Char himself. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Char, you have kept me waiting for a long time."
"Sorry, I wasted a lot of time looking for your traces. It wasn't until recently that I decided to give up the pursuit mission, so I had time to come over."
At this time, in the Brown City Spaceport entrance hall, Char, who was dressed in casual clothes and took off his helmet and changed into sunglasses, walked into the sightseeing elevator while talking. Looking up through the transparent glass, he almost completely took in the entire Brown City below, and the voice of Xiao Ran came from his ears.
"It's really a blessing that you spent so much time with us." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, walked out of his residence and got into the vehicle that was already waiting outside the door, and said, "Then do you need me to come and pick you up? I just want to take you to see some interesting things."
Char also smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I'll wait for you at the Spaceport exit."
After hanging up the communication, Xiao Ran gently crossed his crossed legs, glanced at the four machines waiting for his instructions, and then said, "Go to Spaceport."
"Okay, sir." The driver nodded, skillfully started the car, started steadily, and quickly headed in the direction of Spaceport. Xiao Ran picked up the communicator again and contacted Saki Maski. After the communication was connected, Xiao Ran said in a short and direct manner, "Saki, tell Artesia to go to the factory."
"I understand. Is the person we are waiting for here?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded and looked out the window and said, "I didn't expect to wait so long and waste so much time here. But now that he is here, the waiting time is worth it, and it will also be a good time for him to see the AE-0 that was manufactured. After meeting and negotiating with him, Cardias and I will go to Earth for the next step."
"Go to Earth?" Saki Maski's voice rose slightly. "Can I go with you? I also want to see what it's like."
Saki Maski means that I want to see what the earth in this world looks like, but it can be said that the earth in this world is now devastated. The unscrupulous methods and reckless consequences in the war have left traces of ruins everywhere on the earth. Looking at it can only make people feel the cruelty of war.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, and said, "If you want to go, just go. I will arrange for Zechs and El-Elf to come over and bring a few people over, and let Zechs stay here to take over the work, and El-Elf will go to Earth with us."
"Hehe, thank you sir."
Putting the communicator away, watching the bustling scene of Brown City, the car he sat down also arrived at the passenger exit of Spaceport. After getting off the car, Xiao Ran noticed at a glance the Blonde Man who was wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, wearing a mask. Char with the helmet and Char at this time look like two people to Xiao Ran. The mask Char is mysterious and dark, but Char at this time reveals a masculine feeling.
Xiao Ran slowly walked towards Char, and Char also saw Xiao Ran walking towards him with a smile on his face. The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other, and at the same time stretched out their right hands towards each other.
