Chapter 860 Missile
MED is just a Space Weapon, and it really is not a true black hole-level weapon. It does not have the terrifying power of a black hole weapon to really attract everything and devour everything. It cannot pull in all the surrounding things. Even a complete version of Dimension Devourer, VF-25, can escape its scope of influence with its own power, let alone a Large MED Warhead that has reduced its power by an unknown amount.
Although like Dimension Devourer, Large MED Warhead will continue to expand after being detonated, and has a strong pull on the scope of influence, attracting and swallowing everything within it. Once involved in the scope of influence, there is basically no possibility of escape, but although it has influence outside the scope of effect, it does not actually It is not so big that it cannot resist like a black hole. If a real black hole weapon is detonated, everything around the Setsuna will be sucked in, and there is no possibility of escape. Jane Single Point said that once the MED Warhead is detonated, it will be like a slowly expanding and restricted black hole.
However, even so, as long as Large MED Warhead is used, it will still have a certain impact on the surrounding environment. As for how big this impact will be, it is hard to say until it is actually used. And if MED Warhead explodes against the moon, then this impact will be even more terrifying.
Xiao Ran doesn't want the quality of the moon to decrease because he casually placed a MED Missile, which will eventually lead to an imbalance in Earth Sphere. The consequences will be too serious. The earth may also suffer from various natural disasters, such as tsunamis and earthquakes. Of course, even if this possibility is not high, no one can ignore even the lowest possibility.
Mwu also nodded slightly after hearing the conversation between the two, but he had a different view from Luo: "Although using Large MED Warhead can minimize the impact after detailed calculations, in addition to using the large MED Missile, we also have other options, and that is the small MED Warhead."
There are not many Large MED Warhead on Second Archangel, so if you want to end the battle as quickly as possible, Large Reaction Missile must be used, so it is not considered at all. Even if Large MED Warhead is not used, Large Reaction Missile The head will still be released, so what is left for reference now is the small MED Warhead, which attacks with numbers and overwhelmingly overwhelms it. It is suitable for the Variable Fighter and the Micro Missile used in conventional battleships.
Although there are not many large MED Missile and Large Reaction Missile, the number of various standard missiles for Xiao Ran and them is very large, which is completely enough for Second Archangel to release them non-stop in this battle until the end of the battle. At this time, all these missiles are placed in units of Xiao Ran and Storage Slot Among, it has never been taken out after entering this world until now. In addition, Second Archangel was not needed for actual combat at the beginning, and Second Archangel is not a ship that is fully suitable for missile use like Galaxy Diva. Therefore, Xiao Ran did not realize at all, or forgot that it was still carrying the normal supplies of Galaxy Diva.
Just as Xiao Ran reacted, Mwu also smiled at Xiao Ran and said, "Don't forget, Second Archangel has also been transformed., even if the number of missiles launched at the same time is not large due to the limitations of the warship itself, it is still good compared to other warships (in this world). When there is no defense, those things have a great effect on the battlefield."
Speaking of this, Mwu lowered his voice and said in a voice that only Xiao Ran and Luo could hear, "But the problem now is how to take out those missiles."
Nowadays, many members of Second Archangel have reached basic staffing. Each department has corresponding personnel, and it is difficult to find an uninhabited place to take the missile out of Storage Slot. The inexplicable appearance of so many things will naturally make people suspicious, so for those things that originally belonged to Galaxy Diva to appear on Second Archangel, there must be a most suitable reason.
"How much time is left until we reach the battlefield?" Xiao Ran frowned and asked. Mwu looked at the panel in front of him and said to Xiao Ran, "One hour at most."
Xiao Ran looked at Luo again. "Can you contact any nearby ships belonging to the Scrap Merchant Guild or other ships?"
Xiao Ran In one word, Luo and Mwu understood what Xiao Ran was planning with just one look. Since he couldn't appear on Second Archangel for nothing, but if he appeared on another ship for nothing and no one knew about it, then from Xiao Ran Storage Slot The supplies belonging to Galaxy Diva taken out from do not exist and appear out of thin air. Now there is still an hour before Second Archangel, Minerva and this part of the fleet arrive on the battlefield. As long as everything can be arranged within an hour, the next battle will indeed be much easier as Mwu said.
Although Second Archangel cannot reach the level where Galaxy Diva can release countless missiles at one time, Second Archangel has been modified in the ship group after all, and it can still release dozens or hundreds of missiles at one time. Yes, there are not just twelve missile launch ports like Archangel, but if these missiles are all High Explosive Rounds and small MED Missile, it is equivalent to fire propulsion.
"I'll give it a try." Luo nodded quickly, replaced the correspondent on CIC Seat, and began to contact nearby ships to see if there were any ships that could be borrowed. Judging from the Scrap Merchant Guild's operational practices, the closer to the battlefield, the easier it was for them to hang out. And with the relationship between Orb and Scrap Merchant Guild, it was quite simple to borrow a ship.
In less than a few minutes, Luo seemed to have settled the matter and stood up from his position and nodded to Xiao Ran: "There happens to be a ship of the Scrap Merchant Guild nearby. It can arrive in ten minutes at most at the speed of the MS."
"Let's go." Xiao Ran nodded and Luo quickly left the bridge. Because Justice Gundam was still resting, Xiao Ran simply boarded Luo's Red Dragon Gundam, letting Luo control Red Dragon Gundam and left Second Archangel in the direction of the ship.
In about ten minutes, Xiao Ran saw the stopped yellow spaceship from the screens all over the sky. This ship was not the kind of warship used by the United, Orb or ZAFT. It is a small transport ship that just meets Xiao Ran and their needs. The ship is painted in the standard yellow of the Scrap Merchant Guild, which is extremely conspicuous in the dark universe.
When Red Dragon Gundam entered the ship, there were already several members of the Scrap Merchant Guild who had changed into space suits and were waiting inside. They looked quite shocked after seeing Xiao Ran. After polite greetings, they introduced the situation of the ship to Luo and Xiao Ran and then drove away in the small Shuttlecraft in the cabin.
As for the other party who generously lent Xiao Ran their ship, Xiao Ran will also give a certain reward. Anyway, once the battle is over, they will definitely receive a lot of warships belonging to the alliance. When the time comes, it will be a generous reward to bring out a warship and send a few MS.
After the people on the original ship left, only Xiao Ran and Luo were left on the ship. Luo did not waste time and went directly to the bridge to start the ship and rush to the direction of Second Archangel, while Xiao Ran stayed in the cabin and began to take out the things in his Storage Slot one by one.
Because this mission started too suddenly, Xiao Ran's Storage Slot, in addition to the Galaxy Diva supplies that had been prepared, did not prepare a suitable Variable Fighter at all. Otherwise, directly driving Variable Fighter to the lunar surface to bomb Requiem would be more appropriate than the current combat method of only frontal breakthrough.
It didn't take much time at all, Xiao Ran filled the entire cabin. These things that suddenly appeared were all Micro Missile that Second Archangel could use. Almost all of them were High Explosive Rounds and MED Missile, but Even so, Xiao Ran's Storage Slot still has a lot of missiles inside. If we really want to take them all out, the space of this ship really can't hold so many, and these taken out missiles can't be put into Xiao Ran's Storage Slot either.
In the eyes of Xiao Ran, this missile is full of Merit Points. But in order to win the battle and finally complete the mission, such an investment is necessary and worthwhile. This is how the participants fight, complete the mission and defeat the enemy. When people get Merit Points, the preparation for battle, the process of battle, and the repair and maintenance after battle are also inseparable from Merit Points. Most participants can maintain a balance of payments and have a certain amount of savings, which is also a relatively normal situation.
When Xiao Ran finished doing this and headed to the bridge, Luo was sitting in front of the steering wheel controlling the battleship. When he saw Xiao Ran coming in, he turned around and asked, "Is everything done?"
"Well, it won't take much time just to get the things out. Take the time to meet up with Second Archangel and let them prepare for the transfer."
"Understood."
It was almost twenty minutes after Second Archangel reunited with Second Archangel. This was still the case when Second Archangel slowed down slightly to wait for the two of them. After all, the transport ship Xiao Ran and they were currently on was not High Speed Ship. It would never be faster than in a lifetime. It may be comparable to the High Speed Ship ship like Second Archangel. After the two ships came together, the staff on Second Archangel, together with Luo and some MS from ZAFT, began to transfer the things on the transport ship towards Second Archangel as quickly as possible.
In addition to Second Archangel, the ZAFT fleet headed by Minerva also obtained a lot of missiles, but the missiles they obtained were all High Explosive Rounds, not even a MED Missile, and Xiao Ran did not MED Missile may be handed over to ZAFT. Although the two parties are in a cooperative alliance, who can guarantee whether ZAFT will have other ideas after getting MED Warhead, such as leaving one or two to crack MED Missile.
Xiao Ran also doesn't believe that ZAFT can copy MED Missile without even knowing what the key materials of the missile are. However, there is nothing wrong with being careful, and even if it is just High Explosive Rounds, it will be extremely beneficial to the next battle. Use it. The High Explosive Rounds produced by the ship group is extremely powerful and has a large range. Once it explodes, the high-explosive effect can completely dissolve the enemies within the explosion range until nothing is left. It can be launched overwhelmingly without even caring whether it can directly hit the enemy. The scene of countless missiles exploding will definitely be very beautiful.
During the intensive transportation work, the members of the maintenance team of Second Archangel did not give up their modifications to Justice Gundam. One by one, GN Dragoon was remounted on Justice Gundam. It did not take much time to complete the loss. All the GN Dragoons were replenished. Xiao Ran jumped directly into the cockpit of Second Archangel after returning to Second Archangel and began to debug these new GN Dragoons.
Finally, after the fleet that could clearly see the battlefield appearing in front of them with the naked eye, all the missiles were transported and installed at the designated positions on the battleship. Minerva, Zhen, Lei, Heine, and Lunamaria also took the lead in attacking the combined mobile suit.
After Xiao Ran also completed the adjustment of the body, Luo's Red Dragon Gundam flew out directly from the two launch ports of Second Archangel, one on the left and one on the right.
As the two units came out of Second Archangel, the mobile suits of this fleet also flew out from different battleships, and quickly passed Justice Gundam and Red Dragon. They crossed all the battleships and followed the four machines of Minerva, and began to attack more and more joint MSs that were transferred to intercept.
Before the two sides really started to get close to each other, under the leadership of Second Archangel, all the warships fired the missiles given to them by Xiao Ran in the direction of the Earth Force interception force in no more than a few seconds. Second Archangel directly launched dozens of missiles at once. Along with the missiles launched by many other warships, the overwhelming missiles with long tails passed through the MS fleet with faster speed and flexibility than MS, and flew directly into the joint front.
Such a large number of missiles are extremely conspicuous, and it is impossible for them to be ignored by the United side. However, even if a large number were shot down by Earth Force's attack, the remaining missiles rushed into the United front and were directly detonated.
The brightness and power erupted by high-explosive missiles are completely different from those seen in the size of missiles. This kind of missile was originally used in legion-scale battles. As soon as it appeared, it showed a powerful power that transcended the limitations of the times. Countless huge balls of flame suddenly appeared on the outer layer of the moon as missiles exploded one after another. These fireballs looked like the sun between Setsuna. Although it was only one Setsuna, the light erupted from so many missiles also illuminated the moon's surface like daylight.
