Chapter 802 The first beta version of the new machine
Some time after Billy and Mayu were confirmed as pilots for Crimson Forbidden and Midnight Gundam, Xiao Ran returned to Orb The turmoil caused by, Orb and the United War has gradually stabilized, and Orb has truly begun to get on the right track, both internally and externally.
The refugee camp was established and began to accommodate those refugees who came across the ocean to seek refuge in Orb due to the war. There were natural persons and Coordinators among them, and Orb only gave them the most equal treatment.
After agreeing to Luo before, Xiao Ran had people find a calm island within the territory of Orb for the Scrap Merchant Guild to use. More than half a month has passed now, and many waste dealers have settled in Orb. The island has also temporarily become the temporary headquarters of the Scrap Merchant Guild and has become lively., I have to say that the abilities of these members of the Scrap Merchant Guild are indeed outstanding, whether it is picking up garbage or manufacturing capabilities, they are first-class. In the case where Orb did not provide much help, they used all kinds of messy things on their own, such as the wreckage of battleships, the wreckage of MS, and even Scrap Merchant Guild's own ship to build a huge camp on the entire island and coast.
In addition to being open to the Scrap Merchant Guild people, this camp is also open to the refugees accepted by Orb, making this camp more lively day by day. Moreover, under the protection of Orb, neither Scrap Merchant Guild nor the refugees are threatened by war. Although the environment is a bit worse, at least they are living a carefree life.
And Scrap Merchant Guild also understands their status at this time. They are not holding any auctions or other activities in the territory of Orb. Instead, they are practicing self-cultivation and recuperating. There are also some people who are more actively involved in the construction work of Orb. For example, the cleaning and reconstruction of Military Port has accelerated the reconstruction work of the military port a lot.
Scrap Merchant Guild will also provide jobs to some refugees on the island, introduce jobs, and proactively reduce the pressure on the influx of refugees for Orb in return. Likewise, Xiao Ran It also allowed people to start recruiting talents who are willing to join Orb on the island where Scrap Merchant Guild is currently stranded. It also allowed many people who were unwilling to continue wandering to join Orb.
In the Scrap Merchant Guild, there are all kinds of people. Excellent pilots, excellent Technicians, senior soldiers, warriors, etc. can all be found here. However, the identities of these people are equally complicated. There are mercenaries and soldiers from various countries. Therefore, even if Orb is recruited, it is unlikely that he will be reused soon, but if there are a certain number of Piloting Skill people, they can also be arranged into the MS team. Often, such pilots will form a separate team and only obey unified commands.
Those Technicians will be assigned to Akatsuki Works, and they will definitely not be able to access the secrets of Akatsuki Works for the time being, even if they are excellent, but even if they only do ordinary work, they can help a lot.
Orb's MS Ace Unit is almost completed. Black Strike, Crimson Aegis, Green Buster, and were captured in the battle. Black Blitz, Blue Duel have all been compiled into the ace MS Unit. The pilots of these aircraft are all selected through layers of selection. They are excellent pilots with elite level or above, and can even be called aces.
In addition, Strike Gundam, Crimson Forbidden and Midnight Gundam also joined it. Billy who rejoined Orb Army was promoted by Xiao Ran The first level became a major, and Mayu was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. In fact, the lowest pilot rank of Ace Unit is a lieutenant, which is already considered high compared to the average pilot standard of second lieutenant.
In addition to these Native inhabitant pilots, Xiao Ran also inserted Orb participants in addition to the Eshe foursome, which greatly enriched the strength of this ace MS Unit. It can be said that although This ace MS Unit has a small number of people, but its combat effectiveness is one of the best. Generally, an MS group or even a larger number of MS can be easily defeated by this team. Xiao Ran also specially prepared an aircraft carrier for this team as the team's flagship on earth.
As for the three Stellas, they are regarded as non-staff members of this team. With this Ace Unit organization, they are directly under the command of Xiao Ran and act according to Xiao Ran's orders. If the ace MS Unit needs the three of them, then Xiao Ran will also let the three of them temporarily join the team for support.
Ace Unit also has functions such as reconnaissance intelligence and destruction behind enemy lines. It is more like a multi-functional special force than a pure combat force. In addition to MS Unit, Xiao Ran also combines the intelligence system of Orb with this force. The first order is for this force to start investigating the Librarian organization and destroy the found Librarian strongholds.
Just dealing with the librarian is already satisfying for the participants who join this team, not to mention that when the team takes action, they may also be able to trigger other Side Mission to obtain more rewards.
And this unit was also given the designation Silver Hand by Xiao Ran. As for the origin of this name, it was naturally that Xiao Ran copied the name of Knights Order from a certain world. When it came to naming, Xiao Ran admitted that he had no talent. Even giving his body a special name seemed difficult for him.
The four Eshe went to the D. S. S. D Space Deep Development Exploration Agency under the arrangement of Xiao Ran, and there was no trouble in the process. After Orb won the battle with the United Nations, D. S. S. D had already taken the initiative. He moved to contact Orb and was willing to provide Orb with a certain amount of technical support in exchange for Orb's protection. On the contrary, Xiao Ran sent the four Eshe over without letting Xiao Ran think of any other reasons.
Nowadays, with the addition of Orb, the three major forces including Orb are strengthening the research and development of MS. It is not a secret in the world, and the many technologies used by D. S. S. D will also make them targets of the Alliance or ZAFT. In addition, Orb and D. S. S. D have cooperated two years ago. Compared with those there, they believe in Orb and Xiao Ran more and are willing to cooperate with Orb.
By this time, in addition to hoping to obtain the technology of D. S. S. D., Xiao Ran also really began to face up to this organization that was not in the whirlpool of war, but also had many unique technologies, and even wanted to take this organization into his own hands. Xiao Ran was not only interested in the technology possessed by this organization, but also Technicians and the technical background of this organization.
As for the purpose of this organization is to develop and detect the deep universe, and in the hands of Xiao Ran, there is something that is enough to make them tempted. It comes from the space navigation technology of Fleet Territory. It is not impossible to do this with some planning, but now is not the time to do it.
On the ZAFT side, there has been no movement from Durandal, as if what was said to Xiao Ran has been forgotten. Minerva's various battles on the earth have also made many people in ZAFT remember this battleship with the name of the goddess of victory, and ZAFT's rising star ace Zhen Asuka.
Except for Orb, Xiao Ran did not interfere too much in the current situation. It should be said that there was basically no interference in the current situation. This resulted in places other than Orb basically continuing to advance on the original track. There were wars, death and destruction everywhere. Every Tiandu, countless people were killed and injured in the war between the United and ZAFT.
Until almost a month passed, Akatsuki Works also sent good news to Xiao Ran. Under the full-scale research of the entire Akatsuki Works, the first new Mass-produced Mecha test machine will be offline soon. This news can be regarded as throwing such a pebble into the calm level of Orb, and a little ripples began to emerge.
Although it will take some time before the test machine is officially off the production line, the senior management of Orb and Xiao Ran are looking forward to it. The test machine developed using new technology is only the first version to roll off the production line. Even the frame is made of the G Series frame. Even the PS Armor does not have it, let alone the weapons and equipment that the body comes with.
After all, this body is only the first test version, and the purpose is only to truly test whether the body made by the new technology can be truly realized and effectively used at the actual level. It also contains some technologies that may not be used at all during mass production. There will be a second version, a third version, etc. to finally determine what configuration Mass-produced Mecha will be produced in.
Also because it is just a test machine, Solar Furnace is not installed at all. The interface of Solar Furnace is reserved and replaced with the supplementary tablets Justice Gundam Solar Furnace. Sub-tank, and just in case, in addition to the normal use of any function of the body, the body's system does not have any parameters about the body, which means that even if the body has an accident or is robbed, no one can get any technology from it.
The only way to obtain technology is to reverse-hack the body, or just stare at it without any solution. Moreover, the new energy source of the body, Thermonuclear Energy Engine, is also the original version made by Akatsuki Works. A remotely controlled overload device is also installed here. Once the overload program is turned on, the engine of the body will explode and eventually detonate the entire body.
The fact that the test body of Akatsuki Works was about to go offline was also quickly leaked. Although Orb caught some spies lurking in Akatsuki Works in Akatsuki Works, there were also many mysterious visitors in Orb. At this time, an invitation was sent to Xiao Ran from an ZAFT military base near the Black Sea.
