The two of them were recommended by Director Symonds, and they knew what they were recommended to do, and the fact that Xiao Ran formed Ace Unit was also widely spread among the Orb Army, so they probably knew that they were recommended to join Ace Unit, and this time Ace Unit was formed by Xiao Ran, the external claim is also to strengthen the high-end power of Orb and enhance the combat effectiveness of the entire army. It can be said that Orb formed such a force for the first time after MS developed into the main force of today's war. Whether in ZAFT or in the alliance, there has long been an independently organized Ace Unit, but Orb has not had the first one until now. The importance can be imagined.
But Symonds probably didn't directly tell the two of them that they would be assigned a cutting-edge machine body. After all, whether it is assigned to two people depends on Xiao Ran's intention. It would be wise for Director Symonds not to say more in the middle., so after Xiao Ran handed them two pieces of information respectively, Billy and Mayu were stunned for a moment. They each took the file Xiao Ran handed them with both hands, and opened it directly to read.
It has been a long time since the last battle on the sea. The Crimson Forbidden captured from Combined Fleet has already been repaired and replaced with the system of Orb. It has been added to the establishment of the Orb Army and has become the fifth B-class Mecha after Orb in addition to the justice, dawn, savior and midnight machines., as for Crimson Aegis who became a human stick, the captured Black Strike is being repaired by Akatsuki Works, and other bodies, such as Blue Duel, Black Blitz, Green Buster and other aircraft captured in the battle are also parked in Akatsuki Works's warehouse and have not yet been distributed.
At this time, what Billy and Mayu were holding in their hands were the information of Crimson Forbidden and Midnight Gundam. After reading the information, the two of them raised their heads one after another, looking at Xiao Ran with some surprise in their eyes, especially Mayu never thought that Xiao Ran would hand over Midnight Gundam's information to her, and this meant that she would be allowed to drive that machine, which had special meaning to Orb. It was widely circulated that it was specially prepared for Xiao Ran.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Xiao Ran also nodded slightly, as if he was giving a positive answer to the question in their minds, "Crimson Forbidden, one of the three special machines originally belonging to the follow-up plan of Earth Force Actaeon, was captured by our army in the previous battle. It has the ability to fly within the atmosphere. It is equipped with a beam Energy-diverting Armor that can resist most beam weapons. Moreover, VPS Armor can resist Ballistic Weapons. It can be said that it is extremely powerful in terms of defense, and its firepower and mobility have also been enhanced. It can be regarded as a containment Melee Type used in medium and short distances. If the machine falls into the hands of the right person, it is believed to be able to explode into considerable combat power. In addition, the energy used by this machine is Nuclear Engine. There will be no shortage of energy in ordinary battles."
"Midnight Gundam, I don't think I need to introduce this too much. It was originally prepared for me. It has Yasakani no Magatama Armor that reflects all light beams. It is also the top secret of our army's Orb technology. Different from Dawn, Midnight Gundam is more interested in high-speed assault capabilities, strong firepower and dodge capabilities. Although it does not have the threat of beam weapons, it does not have much defensive capabilities against live ammunition and weapons such as Melee Combat, Beam Saber, and large swords. It is positioned as a mid-to-long-range fire suppression machine."
Bally's originally indifferent expression became slightly moved as Xiao Ran spoke, while Mayu was completely caught in surprise. Xiao Ran continued to say, " I am going to deliver these two airframes to you. You can also ask Akatsuki Works to make specific changes to the two airframes delivered to you. As pilots, I believe you also have your own ideas. I will not make any mandatory requirements here."
Bally and Mayu stood up directly from the sofa, raised their right hands towards Xiao Ran and saluted a military salute. "Yes, thank you for your trust in us. We will not let you down, and we will never let the machine be shot down in our hands."
"Sit down, sit down." Xiao Ran smiled and pressed his hand, motioning for the two of them to sit down. However, after sitting down, Billy and Mayu still seemed a little excited. They did not expect that Xiao Ran would deliver these two machines to them. One is Nuclear Powered Mecha, which has outstanding performance and belongs to the current Orb has the best performance among the machines. Although the other one uses a new high-energy battery, its performance is not bad and it has a special symbolic meaning. For Mayu, being able to drive Midnight Gundam, which represents Xiao Ran, is already a great honor in itself.
Seeing the excitement and determination of the two people, Xiao Ran also knew that they were serious in their hearts. They were indeed prepared to use their own lives to protect the machine that Xiao Ran had delivered to them. Of course, they would not send it out because of the current relationship between the two. Emotions led to the two people's thoughts, but at least their feelings are sincere now. However, for Xiao Ran, the value of an aircraft can never be compared to the value of an excellent pilot, especially when this pilot still has great potential.
"I know what you are thinking, but for me, the existence of an excellent pilot is far more meaningful than an aircraft with excellent performance. If the aircraft is gone, it can be manufactured again. It only takes some time to manufacture more Midnight Gundam and Crimson Forbidden. From a national level, an excellent pilot It is equivalent to a stable nuclear bomb. Even if you pilot any machine, you can exert its own strength. Therefore, if you sacrifice yourself to protect the machine, there is absolutely no need. As long as you can protect yourself in battle, sooner or later you will grow to the point where you can fight an entire fleet by yourself. That will be the greatest help to me and this country."
Xiao Ran didn't say those very emotional words, such as you are very important, we can't do anything without you, and you are alive only so that we can create a better tomorrow together. These words sound very soft, disgusting and also very hypocritical. Although what Xiao Ran said is similar to these, it is very realistic.
Xiao Ran talks about the importance of an excellent pilot to the country. It does not mention the importance of Mayu and Billy to the country. Mayu and Billy are not actually important. What is important is their current status as Orb pilots and soldiers. Only with this status do Mayu and Billy appear to be very important.
What Xiao Ran said was very honest and realistic, but it would not make Billy and Mayu feel uncomfortable. After all, what Xiao Ran said was the truth, and it also proved that Xiao Ran valued their abilities.
The two of them don't think that Xiao Ran is just using them. Billy is mature and understands what Xiao Ran means. He is also convinced by Xiao Ran's directness and sincerity. Mayu is Xiao Ran The idiot fans of feel that Xiao Ran is neither hypocritical nor pretentious. This is the true attitude that a strong leader should have. To be convincing and respectable, he relies on his own personal charm and ability, not just fancy words.
Seeing the two of them, he must have understood what he meant. Xiao Ran also turned to Director Symonds, who had been silent and seemed to have no sense of existence, and nodded. "Director Symonds, it's up to you to hand over those two airframes to them. Modify the two airframes as much as possible according to their wishes. In addition, you should also hurry up on the repair work on several other airframes. If you know of suitable pilots, you can also recommend them."
Director Symonds nodded and stood up, smiling slightly at Xiao Ran: "Okay, I understand. I will arrange for Akatsuki Works to seize the time to repair those airframes, and will also deploy personnel to cooperate with them in modifying the airframes."
"Yeah." After Xiao Ran nodded, he reminded Symonds without warning Mayu and Billy: "Pay more attention to the technologies I gave you and don't leak them out."
"I understand that those who have access to those materials are the core and most trustworthy people of Akatsuki Works." Symonds heard Xiao Ran's reminder and answered seriously. What Xiao Ran handed over to Symonds were all powerful technologies obtained from Luo, Small Nuclear Fusion engines like Thermonuclear Energy Engine, Red Solar Furnace, GN-BIT, and many of the technologies in Astray Series that can be mass-produced, also have some technical information developed by 0079 World and Super Dimension Fortress World.
Once these technologies are successfully copied in Orb, they will definitely increase the Technical Strength of Orb by several levels. If it is leaked and obtained by ZAFT and the United Nations, based on the background of those two countries, they will definitely be able to copy Orb faster and produce more, and the consequences will become quite serious.
Symonds was also shocked when he got these technologies. If these technologies are combined to develop a new MS, this MS will definitely be epoch-making. He has always been extremely careful about the safekeeping of these technologies. Compared with Xiao Ran has to be more cautious. Even if it is handed over to a trusted person, it will never let one person get the key parameters at the same time. Unless the entire core development department rebels or is bribed, it is simply impossible to obtain those technologies from so many people.
The new model Akatsuki Works is currently developing is based on these technologies. Of course, no matter how it is done, it must comply with the current situation of Orb and the necessary conditions for mass production, cost, and technical content. The quantity and manufacturing difficulty must be strictly controlled, so what technologies will be used in the developed Mass-produced Mecha? The current time is too short for Symonds to give an accurate report to Xiao Ran.
Fortunately, Orb still has a chance to take some time to develop the new model. Both the United and ZAFT are fighting fiercely at this time. The power Orb has shown before makes these two forces unwilling to provoke Orb now. Of course, if the new model of the United is developed and mass-produced, it will be another matter. As for ZAFT, until Durandal has no confidence to control the situation, with his prudence, he will not easily fall out with Orb even if he develops a new model.
