The transformation of Black Astray involves many aspects, and it is not technically difficult. However, Xiao Ran has too many requirements, which makes the transformation of the machine body quite troublesome.
The first is the transformation of armor. Xiao Ran, who has had enough of the pain of light armor, not only hopes to add PS Armor to Black Astray, but also proposes the concept of VPS Armor, which changes the energy output to make PS Armor have different colors after activation to achieve different levels of defense. Then there is the strengthening of the skeleton, in order to replace it with a main body armor with higher defense.
The second is Energy System. The energy battery pack of Orb is already at the advanced level in the world. Under the current situation, nuclear energy cannot be used. Xiao Ran can only rely on a larger capacity battery pack and more batteries. Without energy, no matter how good the body is, it is useless.
The third is Flight Pack. The requirements of Xiao Ran are high power and high speed, and the aircraft must be able to fly within the atmosphere. It also requires high speed, and the backpack must become a second energy carrier to supply energy to the body to avoid energy shortage caused by a single energy source.
Fourth, there are weapons. Needless to say, the conventional Beam Rifle Beam Sword is the basic configuration of Gundam, and Xiao Ran hopes that the body can have one more Beam Rifle is just like Strike Freedom. To put it more closely, it is a weapon system similar to Buster Gundam. The two weapons can be used separately and combined together for a more powerful attack. In terms of melee weapons, Beam Sword actually has many restrictions, so Xiao Ran also hopes to have physical sword-mounted weapons.
Because these requirements put forward by Xiao Ran are very likely, especially the concept of VPS Armor, Asaha nodded repeatedly. Finally, Asaha called Erica overnight., and asked Xiao Ran to once again put forward his idea in person. After Erica thought about it, he also confirmed Xiao Ran's request and said that he could try it if he had no objections.
Then, Xiao Ran, who knew that Luo had extraordinary talent in machinery, and Erica, a similarly informed person, invited Luo to modify Black Astray. Naturally, Luo would not refuse, because these modifications could also be applied to Red Mecha. When nothing happened, Luo and Xiao Ran would be dragged to the training ground to test M1 Astray Mecha Performance. After almost ten days of wandering around like this, the Black Astray, which had gathered the cutting-edge power of the entire Akatsuki Works, had achieved considerable results in more than half a month.
When Erica and Luo took Xiao Ran to stand at the feet of Black Astray again, Xiao Ran was shocked to see the brand new Black Astray, which was completely different from the previous one. He was also extremely excited.
Black Astray, which has almost been transformed, is quite different from before. First of all, the external armor is completely different. The entire leg armor has been completely modified. Thick armor has been added to the original red area of the calf and is integrated with the knee armor. Xiao Ran has seen similar armor on Astray Red Frame on the Internet, but now it is first used on a black machine.
There are two more skirt armors with jet openings in front of the waist. The original simple rear skirt armor has also been strengthened and a jet opening has been added on one side. As a result, the Black Astray, which originally had no skirt armor, has an additional skirt armor. The skirt armor also exists to protect the joints connecting the legs and waist. For some reason, Xiao Ran always feels that the Astray with the additional skirt armor seems to be more beautiful.
In the position of the shoulder armor, because the shield must be installed on the left shoulder according to the requirements of Xiao Ran, the shoulder armor has been greatly modified so that the shoulder armor can fit tightly while installing the shield and better protect the shoulder joints. For the sake of balance of the machine body, the right shoulder armor has also been modified, making the left shoulder part become the six-unit Missile Launcher. Of course, when it is not turned on, it looks almost completely symmetrical with the left shoulder armor. Compared with the rough modification of Archangel, the beauty is straight up, and the whole body is also much thicker.
In terms of the color of the armor, the color of the armor of Black Astray when it is not activated is exactly the same as the color of Strike Gundam when it is not activated. This made Xiao Ran look at Erica in surprise., he really didn't expect that Akatsuki Works could use the technology in the data to create PS Armor in more than ten days and also use it on Black Astray.
But when you think about it, it seems normal. During the development process of G, Akatsuki Works has been stealing the technical parameters of the G series, and Akatsuki Works personnel participated in the manufacturing. With some experience and complete technical information, it is not surprising that it can be manufactured so quickly.
Regarding Flight Pack, if you take a closer look, it is exactly the same as the Flight Pack developed by Impression Luo with the help of Akatsuki Works technology, except that there are two more Beam Sword.
The biggest change and real surprise are the things hanging on the waist and thighs. There is an Beam Rifle hanging on each side of the waist. The appearance of the two guns is almost the same with only some slight differences. The Beam Rifle is longer than the Strike Gundam used before the Black Astray, but it is longer. The height has been reduced by almost half, but it looks heavy and heavy. I wonder if it is because the shape of the gun body is slightly square, which makes the Xiao Ran feel that the two Beam Rifle are like castrated and smaller versions of the Buster Gundam set of weapons, only with the appearance of a hand-held rifle.
On the outside of Black Astray's thigh where the rifle is hung some way down, two long strips hang here. It seems that the skirt armor that should be installed on the side of the waist has to be moved downwards due to the position of the weapon suspension. What is strange is that it may be the side skirt armor. Or the thing that supplements the flying wings on the legs shows a regular fusiform shape, and there are two thrust openings on the outside. Yes, it is like the thing on the side of the waist of Aegis Gundam that has a thruster and a skirt, but it is shorter and not so big.
Taking a closer look, there was no physical weapon loaded anywhere on the entire body. Looking at the things hanging on the legs, Xiao Ran clearly saw that there was an inverted T-shaped opening just above the connection point. He knew it could be opened at a glance, and he suddenly gave Luo a thumbs up with a sudden realization.
"I guessed it after just one look." Seeing Xiao Ran's clear expression, Luo shrugged his shoulders in boredom and said, "Those two things on the legs are thrusters and sword gates. The Physical Sword you want was made by me myself and is loaded in the sword gate."
Luo patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and continued, "Originally, I wanted to make a Physical Sword that is the same as Red Mecha, but after thinking about it, Black Astray It seems that it is not necessary to make such a big one, so I just made a set of double swords, which are a bit short but easy to use. After I finished them, I couldn't find a place to hang them, so I just made two sword gates with thrusters."
"Thank you, Luo." Xiao Ran pursed his lips and nodded, patting Luo's hand on his shoulder twice.
Erica looked at the two people, smiled slightly, and said, "PS Armor worked overtime to produce it and install it on Black Astray. The weapons can be used separately or in combination according to your requirements. The range and power of the combination will become larger. In terms of energy, there are three battery energy packs inside the body itself and the two battery energy packs in Flight Pack. In terms of energy, The surface is completely sufficient. Flight Pack was designed and modified by Luo himself. It has six large thrusters, two small thrusters, plus the four small thrusters of the leg sword gates, as well as the thrusters and jets of the body itself. The speed can fully meet your requirements. Although the energy consumption is also very large, there is no possibility of improvement in this regard, but the three battery energy packs are enough to last for a long time. The body is like this at the moment. Is there anything else you are not satisfied with?"
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly to reveal a satisfied smile, "Very satisfied."
