Xiao Ran lowered his head and remained silent. Erica didn't speak. He just turned his head and looked at Black Astray. He didn't know what he was thinking. During the time when Xiao Ran was unconscious, Black Astray had also been completely beaten by Akatsuki Works's Technicians checked it countless times and obtained some critical but arguably lost information from Gundam Astray. Although these things are useful but not important for Orb, which can already mass-produce M1 Astray, what is really important is an OS suitable for natural people.
In Erica's view, Xiao Ran is a real natural person. The reason why he can drive Black Astray must be because of Black Astray OS. However, the most critical OS is locked in Quantum Computer of Black Astray because the system of the body cannot be unlocked. It's not that Erica has never thought about brute force cracking, but the problem lies here. Erica doesn't know how Luo has set up the system of the body. Once the brute force cracking is done, Quantum Computer will be completely formatted. Not to mention the OS, I am afraid that the entire body will have to be completely re-debugged, and even the system will have to be redone. Erica does not dare to take such a risk.
For the entire Akatsuki Works and even Orb, a suitable OS System that can be used by natural people is much more important than a Prototype Machine. Naturally, it will not care about Black Astray. Gu, besides repairing this machine body is also within the scope of Luo and their dealings, not to mention that in Erica's heart, a trial model Astray that can be used and belongs to him, and it is also matched with the pilot's Black Astray, is equally valuable.
But the crux of the problem is not just that. Luo made some adjustments to the body's system, but it was just a lock. At that time, the damaged body was not actually started, so naturally it was not discovered that the body could not be started at all. In fact, these key reasons still lie with Xiao Ran. Even Xiao Ran does not know the real situation at this time. The moment Xiao Ran accepted the exclusive machine mission, Black Astray had become the exclusive machine. Although the mission was still being carried out, it was confirmed that it belonged to Xiao Ran. In other words, there was no permission from Xiao Ran. Or Xiao Ran starts by itself, Black Astray Even if you successfully boot, that is, turn on Quantum Computer, Black Astray will not be able to perform any effective operations at all, but will always prompt on the screen that it cannot be started without authorization.
It is the prompts on the screen and the complete inability to make any attempts to check the body's OS that give Erica a huge headache. Without a suitable OS, the many M1 Astrays produced by Orb are now just decorations. So much financial and material resources have been wasted to produce a bunch of decorations. Not to mention Erica himself does not allow it, and the entire Orb's top management also does not allow it. For this reason, Erica had no choice but to bring Xiao Ran to this place.
Xiao Ran was silent not only thinking about what Erica wanted to get from Black Astray, or what he wanted to get from himself, but also thinking about how he could join Orb appropriately. While catching up with the main plot line, he also hoped to let Orb transform his body.
And now he came to Orb so suddenly, or arrived in Orb without any knowledge or preparation. It was really unexpected for Xiao Ran. It could be said that it completely disrupted his previous thoughts. He did not expect that Erica Simmonds would take him so directly to Orb, which can be said to be the most confidential place, which made him a little at a loss.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head. "What do you want?"
Erica turned to look at Xiao Ran and said calmly, "Black Astray's OS."
"OS?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you ask Luo to help you write the OS? You should also know that he also has a Red Astray."
"It's not that he didn't help us write the OS, but the OS he wrote doesn't allow ordinary people to fly the body we developed." Erica didn't hide anything, and said openly, "We know that there are other people involved in Black Astray's OS writing. Even Luo doesn't know what is going on in the writing of that part of the system, so we hope to check your OS."
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled, "Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I believe that with your intelligence channels, you will definitely know who wrote the other part of the OS. There is no fundamental difference between the OS of Black Astray and the OS of Strike Gundam. Even if they are copied completely, it will be of no use."
Erica frowned slightly, a trace of suspicion flashed in his beautiful eyes. "If the OS was written by the kid named Kira Yamato, how can you, a normal person, fly such a machine?"
Xiao Ran took two breaths. After standing for a long time, he felt a little tired because his body was too weak. He sat down on the floor without a care and said leisurely, "Haven't you guys tried Luo's Red Mecha's OS? Why can he drive your people but not yours? Is it true that Coordinators is allowed to be a genius, and normal people can't have a few more geniuses?"
Erica·Symonds didn't know what to say. He took two deep breaths and asked Xiao Ran: "No matter what, I still want to ask you to let us take a look at the machine's OS."
Xiao Ran stared at Erica for a few seconds, and finally shook his head and smiled, "If you say this, I can't refuse at all, otherwise it will make me look so unreasonable. Anyway, I am also a Orb, so the OS is not important. Just watch it if you want."
After saying that, Xiao Ran stood up tremblingly, walked to Black Astray step by step, stepped on the lifting rope and sat in the cockpit. Looking at the completely new cockpit, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently everywhere, and then slowly reached out and pressed the start button.
The cockpit lit up immediately after Xiao Ran pressed the button, and the system display officially entered the startup screen after a series of flashing data. Even the lock screen set by Luo did not appear. Xiao Ran was a little confused. "Didn't you say Luo locked the system? Does it also have facial recognition?"
When the machine started up, the head monitor of Black Astray also flashed. Erica stood at the feet of Black Astray and shouted to Xiao Ran, "You just need to connect the system to the external socket!"
"Understood." Following Erica's prompts, Xiao Ran linked the body system to the connected Quantum Computer outside. Soon there were staff there who began to monitor OS System made a complete copy, and he didn't know how big the OS and system were. With the electronic technology of this era, it took more than ten minutes to completely complete it. During this process, Xiao Ran's stomach also felt hungry and uncomfortable.
But fortunately, Erica knew Xiao Ran's current situation. After Xiao Ran stood on the ground again, he took Xiao Ran to Akatsuki Works's canteen with a friendly smile. He also thoughtfully prepared liquid food and easily digestible food for Xiao Ran that was suitable for his current situation.
In the cafeteria, Xiao Ran also asked Erica about Luo's whereabouts. At this time, Luo was making preliminary preparations for the huge floating island near Orb. Sometimes he had to take time to help Akatsuki Works improve the OS. He was also designing and manufacturing Gundam Astray's backpack.
"This guy is still busy." Xiao Ran listened to Erica's story and was also surprised by Luo's enrichment. He said in amazement, "He can do so many things at the same time."
"After getting in touch with Luo, I found that he is indeed a true mechanical genius." Erica smiled, shook his head and said with regret, "But it is a pity that I invited him on behalf of Orb, hoping that he could join Akatsuki Works, but unfortunately he refused."
"That guy's dream is to be a waste dealer, and he won't stay in one place." Xiao Ran put down the tableware in his hands, patted his stomach gently and looked like he was full. "It just so happens that this guy is also in Orb. I have to ask him to make some modifications to my body."
"You mean Black Astray?" Erica held his hands, looked at Xiao Ran with interest and said in a nice voice, "That machine is The one produced by Akatsuki Works is still the top secret of Orb, and the one that is being recycled and repaired is still Akatsuki Works. Do you think it is appropriate for you to modify that body?"
"Ah?" Xiao Ran suddenly looked at Erica in astonishment and said in disbelief, "Please, that machine is mine, and you can't activate that machine?"
Erica nodded lightly and said to Xiao Ran with a smile, "Although it is true, that machine is the machine of Orb, and it is also the secret of Orb. It should be piloted by the pilot belonging to Orb. We have no reason to let it appear in Outside World's sight, what do you think?"
