Chapter 853: Liftoff Difficulty
Durandal looked serious, suddenly knowing that Earth Force's ultimate weapon Requiem would be launched in less than twenty-four hours, he was very nervous in his heart. It was already a big deal that there was no panic on his face, regardless of Whether Requiem attacks Orb or ZAFT, it will definitely bring huge losses and tragic sacrifices to the party being attacked, and these will once again destroy the peaceful situation that has finally been stabilized, and at the same time, the entire world will once again be shrouded in the shadow of the rule of joint terror.
Of course, the latter may not be that important to Durandal and Xiao Ran. What is important is that they must not let Requiem launch. No one dares to bet on the 50% chance that Requiem will not attack their country when it first attacks, so they can only do their best to prevent Requiem from launching at any cost.
At this time, if you refuse to help the other party when it needs help, you are gambling with the safety of your own country. Indeed, Orb's hard power is not bad, and it can fight head-on against ZAFT, and it is more likely to win.
But Orb's soft strength is far from enough. Unlike ZAFT, which has its own bases and complete facilities everywhere, Orb simply does not have the ability to directly send soldiers scattered everywhere into the universe in the shortest time. Even at this time, even Second Archangel cannot directly ascend into the universe.
After hearing Xiao Ran's request, Durandal nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, I will make arrangements immediately and let the nearby troops try to send all the members of Orb Silver Hand into the universe. At the same time, I will also help contact the major forces to ask them to provide help. I will also think of a solution for Second Archangel's problem here."
"Well, we will also provide cooperation, so I'll leave it to you."
After disconnecting communication with Durandal, Xiao Ran turned to look at Bargyll and said, "Send a letter to Cruze and ask him to prepare for battle and start heading towards Moon Base."
"I understand, but what is Second Archangel going to do?" Bargyll frowned and looked at the big screen in front. At this time, a huge map appeared on the big screen, marking the current location of Second Archangel and the surrounding situation. He said to Xiao Ran, "The one closest to Second Archangel A Mass Accelerator will take at least ten hours to arrive at the maximum combat speed of Second Archangel on Earth, and it will take even longer for Orb to transport Archangel-class's large propeller. There is simply no way to drive Second Archangel to the universe in three hours."
"Ten hours..." Xiao Ran frowned. Durandal might have other ways to help Second Archangel go to the universe, but you don't have to think about it to know that this must be an extremely difficult thing. If I had known that I would encounter such a situation, Xiao Ran will 100% modify Second Archangel in advance so that Second Archangel can gain the ability of a single ship to break through to the universe without relying on other equipment. It is useless to regret it now. Finding a way to let Second Archangel go to the universe is what we should really worry about.
Ten minutes later, Mina Lund from Orb also learned that the joint Moon Base was about to launch Requiem, and immediately started to carry out the process Coordination, coordination between Orb, coordination between Orb and other forces, seizing the time to transport troops to the universe as much as possible, in fact, Xiao Ran let After Mina returned to Orb, Mina took over all the work of Orb, and Xiao Ran simply became a leader direction, and left all the time-wasting matters to Mina, so the matter of contacting other forces was naturally done by Mina himself, including the coordination work with ZAFT.
Especially after Mina learned that Xiao Ran was trying to get Second Archangel to go to the universe, he also contacted Second Archangel immediately and had a direct conversation with Xiao Ran.
On the screen, Mina was still wearing his black dress, with a heavy look on his face. After the communication was connected, Mina took the initiative and said before Xiao Ran could speak, "I already know the situation over there. It is simply impossible for you to send Second Archangel to the universe within three hours, but I have a way to make Second Archangel enter the universe in the shortest possible time. Although I cannot guarantee that it will be completed within three hours, at least I can save as much time as possible."
As soon as Mina's words came out, everyone in the Second Archangel bridge turned to look in the direction of the big screen. Xiao Ran also quickly asked, "What can we do?"
"Izumo-class Warship's module can be given to Second Archangel to help Second Archangel leave the earth directly and go to the universe. Although Orb's equipment cannot be transported in time, we can make it When the Izumo-class Warship lands in the universe, and the module of the landed Izumo-class Warship is installed on the Second Archangel, the mission of sending the Second Archangel to the universe can be completed in the shortest time."
"I have calculated that it will only take less than an hour at most to land a Izumo-class Warship at the designated location." After saying this, Mina also hesitated slightly, and then said, "But in this way, if you want to install the module on the Second Archangel without the help of specialized equipment, the manpower required is absolutely huge, and I am afraid it will also require the assistance of a lot of MSs."
Xiao Ran heard Mina's words, and immediately decided that Mina's method is indeed the best choice now. Although doing so will directly cause one Izumo-class Warship to be almost scrapped. After all, once it lands in a nearby place and Izumo-class does not have the ability to sail and use in the atmosphere, it will eventually wait for the battleship The only way to destroy the ship is to decompose it and recycle it, but at this time when time is most needed, scrapping one Izumo-class Warship can successfully send Second Archangel to the universe in the shortest time. It is something that must be done, so the loss of a battleship is not considered, not to mention that it is just a battleship, and Orb can't be completely lost.
"Just do what you said. Let Luo rush from Orb to Second Archangel in the shortest time. I will arrange the manpower issue." Xiao Ran said while looking at the map and said, "The meeting point is on the sea southwest of the current location of Second Archangel. The specific coordinates will be sent to you later."
"Understood, I will arrange it immediately."
The screen went dark again, and Xiao Ran also turned to look at Bargyll: "Now it seems that Mina's method is the most appropriate method. Archangel has used Izumo-class Warship before. There is no problem with the feasibility of the E module going to the universe, but the problem is that when installing the module, we cannot determine a more specific time, whether it can be guaranteed within three hours, but I think even if it takes some time, it won't be too long."
"Yes." Bargyll also nodded and said, "Now the only way to enter the universe in the shortest time is this. However, if we want to install a module of that quality for Second Archangel, it is simply impossible with our current manpower, and a certain number of MS are needed to carry out the loading task. Are you going to ask ZAFT to help?"
"This is something that can't be helped. Apart from the nearby forces, ZAFT is the only one who can get here the fastest now. Contact Durandal and let him coordinate to send someone over as soon as possible. You can decide the specific meeting coordinates." Xiao Ran patted it. Bargyll's shoulder, said, "By the way, let Durandal prepare a Shuttlecraft for me. I won't waste time waiting here. I will go to the universe in advance to join Cruze and the others, so that I can join the battle first."
"After all, the weapons carried on the Second Archangel are only for necessary preparations. It is best not to use those two weapons until the situation is no longer possible. Therefore, the Second Archangel will not play a big role in the early stages of the battle. As long as it can be used at the critical moment Just show up and give the United a fatal blow, and leave the matter to you. If you have any questions, please contact Mina and Durandal, especially Durandal will definitely do everything possible to meet our needs at this time."
"I understand." Bargyll nodded and promised, "I will definitely let Second Archangel go to the universe in the shortest time."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran smiled at Bargyll, turned around and left the bridge and went to the Gnaku again. Now except for him, no one on Second Archangel had a reason to rush to the universe, so Xiao Ran jumped directly into the cockpit of Justice Gundam again, started the body and started the ejection process.
And until Justice Gundam flew out of Second Archangel, Bargyll's avatar also appeared on the right side of Justice Gundam's screen. "I have contacted Speaker Durandal. He will send a nearby fleet and contact the surrounding area. MS Unit from other countries will come to help, and will also prepare a Shuttlecraft for you to go to the universe. The coordinates are XXX, XXX, which was a military base of Eurasian Federation before. Now they have started preparations and can set off as soon as you arrive."
Bargyll said, and a map and route popped up on the upper right side of the cockpit screen. Xiao Ran took a look at it and nodded. "I understand, you should hurry up and start taking action."
"Okay."
Looking at the location marked on the map and the approximate time calculated, Xiao Ran directly patted Haro's big head. "Haro, I will leave the machine to you to control, and we will arrive at the designated location within an hour."
"Haro received it, Haro received it."
After Haro took over the control of the machine, Xiao Ran also adjusted the back of his chair backwards, and then rested on the chair. Although he did not feel that he was tired now based on his physical fitness, nor did he feel that he could not work in the remaining time. To hold on, rest as much as you can, and to keep yourself in the best condition at all times is what a truly qualified warrior must have, and once the battle begins, it will definitely become a protracted battle with no possibility of retreating. The reserve of energy and physical strength is very critical.
"Haro Haro, has arrived at the scheduled location, Haro Haro, has arrived at the scheduled location."
The voice of Haro made Xiao Ran, who had his eyes closed, suddenly open his eyes. After opening his eyes, the confusion in his eyes only stayed for less than a second and turned into clarity. When Xiao Ran looked at the screen, at this time Justice Gundam has stayed above the base at the designated location, and the time consumption has passed less than fifty minutes, which is less than the one hour Xiao Ran gave Haro.
At this time, looking through the screen, a Shuttlecraft has been prepared on the only runway in the base, and a transport vehicle that can transport MS horizontally into the Shuttlecraft container is parked near Shuttlecraft. In addition, the screen and operation panel also prompt a request for communication access.
After Xiao Ran connected the communication, he heard a young female voice entering his ears. "Hello, this is ZAFT Doria Base, welcome Lord Xiao Ran, we are ready Shuttlecraft, please Lord Xiao Ran park the MS directly on the transport vehicle and wait for a while. We have prepared a resting place for Lord Xiao Ran, and we will also arrange for Shuttlecraft to set off as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran drove the machine slowly towards the transport truck and said, "Sorry to trouble you, there is no need to rest. I will just wait in the MS. Please arrange Shuttlecraft's departure as soon as possible."
After all, this is ZAFT's military base. Although Xiao Ran won't worry about any evil intentions against him even if he leaves the mobile suit, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. The safest place is naturally Justice Gundam's cockpit. Even if someone really wants to assassinate him and directly detonate Shuttlecraft, as long as Xiao Ran is in the cockpit, there will be no problem.
"Yes, got it"
After hearing Xiao Ran's reply, the young girl who contacted Xiao Ran was not surprised. She respectfully replied to Xiao Ran and said, "Then Shuttlecraft will leave in ten minutes. Please Lord Xiao Ran be prepared."
"Thank you."
Park Justice Gundam in front of the erected stand of the transport truck. Feeling that the body was fixed, it began to slowly fall backwards, and then was stuffed into the container of Shuttlecraft. The whole process only took a few minutes. Then, the reminder to set off in the communication was heard, telling Xiao Ran to fasten the seat belt and so on.
A few minutes later, Shuttlecraft successfully rose into the sky, breaking away from the strong gravity of the earth and ejecting a long black trail that quickly disappeared into the sky. However, in just a minute or two, Shuttlecraft successfully broke through the earth's gravity and successfully leaped beyond the zero point.
(Blow up the moon, great idea.)
