In the year 2017 of the Imperial Calendar, the seventh day after Celestial Balance orbital alarm.
It is estimated that there are still thirty-four days left before the three BETA seeding units enter the Blue Star near-Earth space.
During these seven days, neither Great Han nor Holy Britannia Imperium stopped expanding their troops because of World Mobile Weapons Tournament.
On the contrary, the conference itself is part of the military expansion. The ordinary troops are responsible for filling the battle lines. Special Knightmare Frames, who are truly equipped with flight, Shield, strong electronic systems and high-energy weapons, are responsible for breaking into HIVE, hunting Laser-Class, cutting off production nodes, destroying Brain-class, and acting as mobile command centers when large-scale communications collapse.
Therefore, after entering the wartime general mobilization, Special Knightmare Frames's budget not only did not decrease, but for the first time it got rid of the restrictions of noble toys, Royal Family model project and technology verification machine.
The empire's Seventh Generation military expansion plan, which was originally planned to be gradually completed around the year 2018 of the Imperial Calendar, was abruptly moved forward by a year.
Vincent, developed based on Lancelot, started from a trial mass production machine and transferred to the actual combat verification sequence of the Royal Family directly affiliated troops and the Knights of the Round system. It retained the The most important mobility and combat features of the Lancelot are, but the standard armament is still dominated by the Mecha handheld cannon. The two High-Frequency Radiation Swords can be disassembled and used individually, or they can be combined into a double-ended short shuttle to attack with a bayonet or a simple knife at close range.
The elbow part of Electromagnetic Pulse Device is the most dangerous weapon of Vincent and the most easily overlooked by laymen.
As long as the elbow is really close to the enemy aircraft, it can send high-intensity pulses directly into the opponent's armor, destroying control circuits, energy pipelines and electronic equipment. In terms of effect, it is similar to Guren Early Radiation Fluctuation Attack, except that the range of action is shorter and it relies more on Driver's close-quarters capabilities.
Its weaknesses are equally obvious. Its armor resistance is not as good as the heavy-duty Special Knightmare, and its sustained firepower is weaker than the specialized artillery KMF. Many of its performances are based on the premise that Driver can actively choose distances and quickly resolve battles.
The empire's real ace machine did not stop upgrading because of the expanded trial production of Vincent, but also began continuous iterations.
Great Han takes another route.
Kallen's Guren Shen Hu was completely eliminated in a short period of time and turned into a Eighth Generation integrated Experimental Knightmare.
The fuselage, energy, Shield, flight and Radiation Wave System are jointly designed from the frame stage. Wings of the Sky has sustained air combat capabilities, with built-in missiles on the wings, and Gefjun Net is equipped with multi-purpose missiles. Scrambling unit; the new armor-piercing artillery structure of the right arm can maintain the traditional Radiation Fluctuation suppression at close range, and can also focus the action surface into medium and long-range attacks. The larger the diffusion range, the shorter the action distance, but the high-frequency energy actually sent into the target will not be reduced.
Radiation Barrier is responsible for counteracting particle beams, heat flow and high-energy impacts. It still has obvious weaknesses in the face of solid blades and high-speed punctures. Therefore, a set of directional Absolute Defense layers controlled by IS Core are superimposed on the outer layer of the body.
There is only one price.
load.
The response of Guren Shen Hu is too fast, the energy is too sufficient, and the degree of integration of weapons and fuselage is too high. If a Driver is responsible for flight, close combat, Radiation Fluctuation, Shield, tactics Data Link and command of the entire army at the same time, the nervous system will sooner or later reach the limit before the fuselage.
Therefore, the immature Bird of Paradise double load sharing interface was installed into the Guren Shen Hu competition type Cockpit.
Kallen didn't speak for three whole minutes after he found out about this.
On the opening day of Martial Arts Tournament in the year 2017 of the Imperial Calendar, Second Luoyang is located on the west side of Test Ground.
When Lin Cuo came to the CCTV, the main channels of the world's three major political systems were all switched on.
Britannia Royal Family, E. U.Provisional Government and Great Han public lines share the same countdown.
"Everyone, I originally hoped that this would be a completely open and fair conference that anyone could participate in."
Lin Cuo paused for a moment, as if he really felt sorry.
"Later, someone reminded me that there are many countries in the world. If they give the aircraft a new coat of paint, change it to a name that sounds very historical, and then ask Driver to say a few words to reporters that it will win, then they think they are qualified to challenge Knights of the Round."
There were already people in the E. U. representative seat who had serious expressions on their faces. When Lin Cuo saw it, they smiled even more gently.
"Of course it won't work. Knights of the Round is very busy, Li Xingke is even busier, Lancelot's maintenance department is especially busy, and we can't let every cat and dog - and I use a very affectionate Eastern expression - line up to waste the time of the best Driver."
Pendragon In the broadcast booth, several imperial nobles sat upright.
Cornelia looked at the screen coldly, as if waiting for who Lin Cuo was going to push out next.
Schneizel gently turned the chess piece in his hand.
"He is publicly deciding who belongs in the first tier and who has to prove they are qualified to move up."
The huge screen behind Lin Cuo has lit up, and Kallen Kouzuki's name appears at the same time as the crimson body.
"So, Great Han sets up Defender's Platform."
"If you want to challenge Knights of the Round, if you want to challenge Lancelot, if you want to challenge Great Han General Li Xingke, go through her first."
He raised his right hand and pointed at the Guren Shen Hu that had just been painted on the screen.
"Area 11 Government-in-Exile Honor General of the Central Army, Red Lotus Separate Division Commander-in-Chief, Kallen Kouzuki."
"Beat her and prove that you are not here to take publicity photos. Then, we can talk about the real champion."
In Goryeo Special Settlement's viewing hall, Kaguya Sumeragi covered the corners of his mouth with a folding fan.
"He still put Kallen where everyone sees it first."
Lelouch stood behind the tactical seat. His eyes first fell on Kallen's name, and then turned to the person on the empire's entry list who did not have a noble title or a round table number.
Suzaku Kururugi.
Lancelot enters the final stage as Area 11 Governor-General's Office Specially Dispatched Guidance Technology Department Experimental Knightmare and does not need to participate in the ordinary qualification battle.
This arrangement has caused a lot of dissatisfaction within Britannia since it was announced.
Why is a Honorary Britannians, a person from a numbered area, ranked alongside Knights of the Round, Li Xingke and the highest-level aces from all countries?
In the waiting room of the Specially Dispatched Guidance Technology Department, the comments from the Imperial Noble Channel were still scrolling up one by one.
[Lancelot is the real ace of the empire.]
[Substituting a qualified Driver will not affect the results.]
[Allowing people from numbered areas to enter the highest level of competition is itself a slight on the round table system.]
Lloyd leaned against the preparation table, holding his chin with one hand, looking at it more seriously than the technical report, with the corners of his mouth raised a little bit.
"Oh, Suzaku-kun."
He drawled, as if he had discovered an interesting new experimental variable.
"It seems that the lords of the empire have already concluded it for us. Lancelot is excellent and I am a genius. As for Driver - well, it is just a necessary part that happens to be sitting inside."
Cecile was originally checking the last set of pressure data of Hover Unit. When he heard this, the electronic pen in his hand suddenly stopped.
She looked up at the comments on the screen and frowned visibly.
"Lloyd Earl."
This sound was lower than usual, but Lloyd didn't seem to hear the warning and continued to look down with a smile.
"Don't you find it interesting? If Lancelot loses today, they will say that Suzaku is not worthy of this machine; if they win, they will probably say - look, it is indeed a victory for Imperial Industries."
Cecile slammed the electronic pen onto the table.
"So you read these things to him on purpose?"
"Don't you think this is the best opportunity to test whether Mr. Suzaku's emotions will affect the data of Lancelot?"
"Suzaku is not your stress tester!"
Lloyd finally turned his face sideways, his blue eyes still filled with the kind of smile that made it hard to tell the difference between seriousness and joking.
"From the perspective of the Lancelot project, it is indeed the only biological component that cannot be replaced at present."
Suzaku did not respond, he was looking at the heat engine curve of Guren Shen Hu.
"Is the one named Kallen also in that machine?"
Lloyd finally turned his head.
"Oh? You have recognized her?"
Suzaku was silent for a moment. "Operation White Chrysanthemum After that, I checked the public list of Area 11's exiled army."
"Then you should be happy. When compatriots meet, it is easier to enter a fighting state than strangers."
At this time, the first person to formally apply to challenge Defender's Platform's body is from E. U..
Leila was not surprised when she saw the application. Andrei Farnese was standing in front of her. He did not show much anger because of Lin Cuo's opening speech, which was almost an open provocation.
"He is deliberately humiliating the E. U.."
Andrei didn't answer, just looked at the center of the martial arts arena.
Leila waited for a while, his brows gradually furrowed.
"Andrei General."
He then turned his gaze and stared at Prime Minister, the youngest person in the history of E. U.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister!"
"General Andrei, you know what I'm talking about. There is no need for you to prove anything to the world for personal reasons."
Andrei was silent for a moment, looked at the challenge application, and his tone was so calm that it was almost cold.
"The E. U. needs to know the gap."
"Of course I know!"
Leila picked it up almost immediately. As soon as his voice rose, he forced it down again.
"Of course we need to test, but there's no need to do it in front of the whole world--"
"If it were not in front of the whole world," Andrei intercepted her directly for the first time, "The military industry department would continue to say that the performance of Gadmer is sufficient to cope with the current war; the financial department would also continue to say that there is no need to increase the budget for Shield, flight and new energy sources."
Leila Originally wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped.
Andrei did not take the opportunity to continue to force her, but only looked at the martial arts arena again. Just because he did not seem to be stimulated by Lin Cuo to lose his mind at all, it was more difficult for Leila to simply say not to go.
After a while, he spoke again.
"And - I want to personally confirm whether the next generation of war has really arrived?"
