"Doctor, the prototype PS Armor has not yet been tested for start-up, and the experimental data in the universe is unknown. Do I need to apply for a test permit from my boss?"
As soon as William approached Halsey and others, he heard a researcher say something to Halsey about applying for a testing license.
"That..." Then he reminded quietly, "There is no need to submit it, I will approve it directly."
The researchers quickly turned around, faced William and said respectfully, "Boss."
Halsey also pretended to be respectful in front of a group of people. He smiled at William and said, "Boss, you are here."
"Ah." William waved his hand and asked the Alphas behind him to disperse.
He walked to the front of the prototype, looked up at the Gundam belonging to Umbrella, and nodded with satisfaction.
And said to Halsey who was already standing next to him, "Very good, I heard from your assistants that this prototype seems to be ready?"
"Yes, the attack numbered MS-X101 was theoretically completed, but there is no record of actual operation." Halsey said.
"It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day." William lowered his head and looked at Halsey and said, "Since this attack aircraft has been completely completed, let's conduct a test flight today."
"Hmm..." Halsey thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem.
As for the candidate of the driver, I think Artificial Intelligence wearing a prosthetic body is the most suitable, they can record detailed data when the prototype is in action."
"Okay." William didn't talk too much, turned around, took Hunk and other Alphas away, and told a kind of researcher:
"Please continue to work and assist the doctor in preparing the test flight of the prototype."
"Yes, boss."
Two hours later.
In a rest cabin on the left side of the hull.
Through the thickened portholes, you can see the dots of Starlight's cosmic scenery outside the window, and you can even see Venus not far away, which is as big as a table tennis ball.
This lounge is a place for employees to relax and is equipped with a bar, billiards, arcade games and other equipment.
But at this time, the employees here did not relax and play, but all looked out the window.
Because employees have learned through various channels that a new 'fighter plane' will be tested in the near future.
In his office, William is also sitting behind his desk, watching the test flight process of MS-X101 through surveillance.
The third area of the Infinity Hangar.
The third area is located on the left side of the ship, where a large number of carrier-based aircraft such as F-X, B-65 and Viking Fighter are parked.
At the same time, the third area is also equipped with several electromagnetic ejection channels to increase the initial speed of the carrier-based aircraft.
In front of the ejection channel on the far left is the MS-X101 prototype being assembled by ground crews using robotic arms.
The ejection channel was originally designed to accommodate aircraft models of different specifications, and the MS-X101, which makes a kneeling movement, can fit into the channel.
The screen zooms in to the deck.
I saw a prosthetic Artificial Intelligence, wearing a dark gray pilot's airtight suit, walking towards MS-X101 with a helmet in his left hand.
Artificial Intelligence, who is responsible for driving the prototype, is Cortana from Sparta Blue Team.
Equipped with a prosthetic body, she has a skin color similar to that of a human, has short black female hair, and her pupils also emit a faint blue light like Serena.
Cortana came to the front of MS-X101, put on his helmet, and used the foot lifting cable that came with the prototype to enter the cockpit on the belly of the aircraft.
The hatch is closed.
The screen switches to the cockpit.
Cortana sat down and pressed the start button on the console. Then all the displays lit up, and the surrounding screens also generated the scene in the hangar.
Then, under the instructions of the ground crew, she controlled the prototype aircraft to step on the catapult and made the prototype aircraft bend its legs.
The catapult carried the prototype aircraft smoothly into the channel, and lowered the valve to isolate it from the hangar and reduce pressure.
After the decompression is completed, the valve at the end of the channel slowly opens, revealing the space outside the ship.
At this time, Cortana raised his hand to turn the button again, adjusted the body to the best state, and then placed his hands on the joystick.
Said: "This is tester Cortana, the prototype MS-X101 is ready for ejection."
"This is the bridge." The communication quickly returned the voice of Serena: "I have approved the ejection procedure of MS-X101 and it is ready to go at any time."
"Received."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cortana saw green reminder lights flashing on both sides of the passage.
Seeing this, Cortana pushed the control lever forward, and the catapult began to advance rapidly on the track.
Swish-!
The prototype ejected the Infinity, activated the propeller on the back of the aircraft, and flew quickly under the control of Cortana.
When the prototype passed the left front of the Infinity, Cortana also activated the PS Armor outside the body.
I saw that the originally dim color scheme became mainly white, with the chest and waist being dark and light black.
Together with the Red and White Umbrella Logo on the left shoulder of the machine body and the yellow warning stripes on the joints, this Assault-type MS prototype has a strong Umbrella style.
The prototype machine performs short-term acceleration, deceleration, emergency stop and other performance testing actions according to the process.
.
In the previous rest cabin;
"Oh! Although this new mecha is much smaller than the divine body, it looks very powerful!"
"The divine body has a strong biological style, but this one... tsk tsk, I like it."
"Appearance equals combat effectiveness. No matter what, our company has added new weapons, haha."
Employees expressed their joy after seeing the prototype successfully test flight outside the window.
After all, my company is constantly producing epoch-making weapons and technologies, and I am not only excited but also proud.
.
As for William in the office, after seeing Cortana driving the Assault-type MS prototype from the surveillance camera outside the Endless, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"When I have time, I will contact the toy department and let them try the production of assembled plastic models. The world needs more 'plastic guys'.
By the way, I have to discuss it with Halsey later and ask her to help me design Specialized Unit.
Well, that's it."
Project: High Mobility humanoid weapon(MS).
Codename: Strike.
Narration:
Assault-type MS successfully tested on August 20, 2015.
Through various experimental data that follow, it can be concluded that this new type of weapon exceeds the original concept of fighter aircraft in many aspects such as maneuverability, defense power, and attack power in a gravity-free and atmospheric environment.
The cost is equivalent to six F-X, or three Viking Fighter.
For this reason, Umbrella decided to start mass production of Assault-type MS in September 2015.
The first batch of twenty orders located at the Halifax City suburban arsenal will be delivered to Containment Fleet by General Ostrovsky (Andre) in the first quarter of 2016.
If Assault-type MS passes the test of actual combat, Umbrella will consider mass production of it.
