Two days later, Long Fei's fleet had left Colony Satellite No. 12 of the Philalip Kingdom and returned to the main base.

Long Fei was in his room, contemplating whether he should develop other Gundam series besides the UC world-focused MS he was currently developing.

Long Fei touched his chin and thought, "With the current technology our company possesses, we can develop other Gundam series. For now, it should be Gundam SEED's Strike, Duel, and Aegis. Phase Shift Armor can indeed be developed. As for the Wing Series, I'm not a big fan of the TV version's Gundam designs. I personally prefer Master Hajime Katoki's redesigned Wing Gundam MS; I find them more aesthetically pleasing. Manufacturing the five initial Gundams piloted by the five protagonists should be no problem. Modifying them for space combat is also not an issue. The problem is with Gundams like Gundam Sandrock and Gundam Nataku, which primarily focus on close combat. Are they really suitable for manufacturing? Not many of my mercenary MS pilots are skilled in close-quarters combat. Gundam Heavyarms and Wing Gundam are fine. Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle can be modified to be powered directly by the Minovsky Super Energy Thermonuclear Reactor. The 00 Gundam series should be passed over directly; we can't manufacture the Solar Furnace yet, not even substitute materials. For the Iron-Blooded Orphans series, apart from considering the Alaya-Vijnana System, the Nano-Armor cannot be manufactured at the moment, so it's temporarily shelved. Other series will be considered another day. For the UC series, developing Zeta Gundam, Hyaku Shiki, and Mk-II is completely fine."

Long Fei then thought of something else, "Among these Gundam series, the psychic abilities of Newtypes and the berserk capabilities of Coordinators, I don't know if the humans in this world possess these abilities. Or perhaps, as a transmigrator, I might have hidden abilities."

Long Fei thought for a moment, then shook his head and thought, "Never mind, let's not dwell on that. I'll focus on developing those Gundams first."

For the next few days, unless there was something important, Long Fei wouldn't leave his room. He decided to re-examine the Gundams he planned to develop and consider if any modifications were needed.

Regarding the battery-powered Gundams like Strike and Astray from the Gundam SEED series, Long Fei initially wanted to modify them to be powered by the Minovsky Super Energy Thermonuclear Reactor instead of batteries. However, he remembered that this Gundam series had the Neutron Jammer, which could seal nuclear energy. He wasn't sure if the Minovsky Super Energy Thermonuclear Reactor would be sealed by the Neutron Jammer. Although there was the Anti-Neutron Jammer Canceller, neither could be developed at the moment.

"I really don't know if someone in this world is researching technology to seal nuclear energy somewhere. I'm not sure if the Minovsky Super Energy Thermonuclear Reactor can be unaffected by the sealing. I really don't dare to gamble. If it gets sealed, all Gundams powered by the Minovsky Super Energy Thermonuclear Reactor will turn into scrap metal."

"For the Astray Gundam series, if Foam Armor is used, its defensive capabilities are weak. If Phase Shift Armor is used, it consumes a lot of power. Using Gundanium Alloy would be more suitable. The batteries for Gundams like Strike and Duel need to be improved; otherwise, they'll run out of power immediately when using high-energy weapons."

"The Photon Battery of Gundam G-Self is too advanced and cannot be developed for now. Wait, I seem to recall a science fiction novel mentioning a battery called the High-Energy Super Battery. According to calculations, when fully charged, the High-Energy Super Battery's durability is three times higher than the Gundam SEED's batteries, with the former having higher energy consumption and longer operational time.

"Then it's decided. The Astray Gundam series batteries and Gundams like Strike and Duel will use the High-Energy Super Battery. The former will have its armor changed to Gundanium Alloy, while the latter will remain the same."

"Next, I will research and improve other Gundam series."

"Gundams like Wing Gundam, Aegis Gundam, and Zeta Gundam can transform. Currently, the MS developed by countries worldwide do not have transformation capabilities. If these Gundams are developed and revealed to the world, they would likely shock everyone. This is truly advanced technology."

"The Wing Series' G-UNIT Gundam uses different equipment to correspond to different battlefield environments. This technical theory is very similar to the backpack theory of the Strike Gundam. Gundam Gemini can also be developed."

"The Type-0 System is very powerful. It not only improves the pilot's operational capabilities but also possesses extremely fast calculation abilities, capable of predicting every move of the opponent. Whether in a one-on-one fight or a battle between two armies, having the Type-0 System allows for predicting the enemy's next move. It can be said that it provides a significant tactical advantage on the battlefield. Unfortunately, neither I nor the people under me can likely handle the Type-0 System. The Type-0 System will be temporarily shelved."

"The PX System, if I recall correctly, is introduced in the spin-off work G-UNIT from the Wing Series. It incorporates some of the technology from the Type-0 System. It can not only improve the pilot's operational skills but even allow the pilot and MS to momentarily exceed their limits for a short period, approximately within two minutes. Exceeding this time limit will cause the pilot and MS to face collapse. Although this system has certain risks, it is relatively safer compared to the Type-0 System. As long as it is operated properly, there will be no problem. The PX System can be developed."

With this thought, Long Fei began a series of research. He made some modifications and improvements to many Gundams based on their original data, addressing their shortcomings and weaknesses. If the development were successful, the performance of these Gundams would surpass their original specifications.

After a period of research, a communication request from the Commander came through the tablet.

"Commander, what is it?"

"Boss, those people have started their move."

"Tell them directly to stop pretending. We have control over their every move."

"Yes, boss."

Long Fei stood up from his chair and began to change into his pilot suit.

Several fleets within Long Fei's fleet were positioned in different directions, remotely monitoring his fleet.

Although these fleets were massive in scale, they were all modified ordinary spacecraft. While their flags were slightly different, the general pattern was dominated by skulls, making it obvious to anyone that they were pirate flags.

Inside the command bridge of one of the pirate fleets.

"Captain, our communication line was hacked, and the other party sent us a message."

"Read it."

The communicator read out: "To our dear colleagues, the Storm Mercenary Group, there's no need to impersonate pirate groups. We have already grasped your every move through our intelligence network, including the actions of your other colleagues who are operating with you. There's no need to pretend to be pirate groups. Also, please help me convey a message to your behind-the-scenes boss, Mr. Gude. Whether you want to mess with me or you're taking money to deal with me, you can just come at me openly. There's no need for these petty tricks." The communicator's expression grew increasingly strange.

The expressions of the Captain and others in the command bridge turned extremely grim.
