Infinity Frontier

Chapter 22 Body Disadvantages
Because of the neutral status of the Waste Merchants Union, it has also signed a series of cooperation agreements with various forces. One of them is that whatever the waste merchants pick up on the battlefield is owned by the waste merchants themselves, and all parties can buy it back but cannot hold it accountable. Naturally, this agreement was also signed by Orb.

In this way, it is completely legal for Luo to pick up the red machine and take it for himself. The professor also got Xiao Yun a registered waste dealer to solve the follow-up problems that may be caused by possessing the golden machine. , but now Xiao Yun's behavior style is biased towards mercenaries, it is a bunch of muddled things to say.

But these are not important. Xiao Yun can be called Xiao Yun, but he can also be called by other names. It doesn't matter if he used to be a waste dealer and now he is a mercenary. It doesn't matter what you say.

Besides, Luo is a serious waste merchant. Luo has the right to decide who he can hand over the things he picks up. He can hand over a blue machine to Cong Yunxi, who Xiao Yun has not seen, and he can also hand it over to Xiao Yun. A golden machine can be justified no matter what.

And now on the bridge of the Archangel, Captain Maliu and Mu are discussing about the golden machine and the red machine.

Bucky Lulu sat on the deputy captain's seat and heard the conversation between the two, and she also turned the chair to look at the two: "This machine uses the same technology as Strike Gundam?"

Maru glanced at Bucky Lulu, worried about what would happen to this serious, stubborn and responsible deputy captain, and quickly said: "At present, it seems that only the same interface parameters are used. As for other aspects, you can use your eyes. See the difference."

Bucky Lulu frowned slightly and did not speak.

Mu Ze said on the side: "It does look like a completely different body, and the exposed skeleton can also confirm that there is no PS armor installed. Maybe it was developed by the Shuguang Society when it was developing mobile suits for our earth army. After all, our body But it was also developed in cooperation with the Dawn Society, so it is not surprising that they can develop a similar MS."

Mu clasped his hands together and said, "Maybe it was the body developed by Aub who was discovered by the waste dealer after the disintegration of Heliopolis, it should be the owner of the red body just now, and according to the agreement of all parties, the waste dealer has the right to Give your loot to anyone, so it's not surprising that other people get Orb's mobile suit."

"And now in this world, there are countless mercenaries and waste merchants with ZAFT mobile suits. Although this machine is special, it is not a special case."

Maru shook her head: "This explanation is very reasonable, but I didn't expect Orb to secretly develop their own MS at that time."

Mu smiled and patted Maru on the shoulder, saying: "Actually, this is normal. Since they can develop it for us, they themselves have the MS development agreement. In the current world situation, I am afraid that anyone can do it. Out of the choice of developing MS."

Maru asked: "Then do you think this person with the golden body is from Aub?"

"It doesn't look like it." Mu thought about it and said, "What is certain is that he has a close relationship with the waste dealers just now, and his acting style is too frivolous, not like a regular army."

Bucky Lulu cast a glance at Mu: "Speaking of frivolity, I think the man I see now seems to be more frivolous, acting more like a hooligan than a soldier."

"???" Mu was full of question marks and innocence, shook his head and said: "Obviously I am also very serious and reliable, okay, forget it, but anyway, since this machine is delivered to us, we have to investigate it. Okay, let’s use this machine to confirm what level Orb has reached so far.”

"no!"

Mu looked at Maru reflexively, and realized that he had misjudged the person when he saw Maru was also surprised, and then turned to look at Baki Lulu.

Logically speaking, in a normal situation, it should be Maru, who pays more attention to the emotional situation and influence, who would refuse such a thing, and Bucky Lulu, who is serious and responsible, is definitely in favor of it, so now Bucky Lulu said without even thinking about it. Mu couldn't react after the word "can't" came out, and Maru was also stunned.

Maru was stunned: "Lieutenant Bucky Lulu?"

Mu's actions were much more exaggerated. He touched his forehead with a puzzled expression: "Am I dreaming? Today the sun rises from the west?"

When Bucky Lulu heard Mu's words, a look of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and then he raised his head and said to Mu seriously: "Now we are in an important period of cooperation with Dawn Desert. Help us not get any supplies, and doing so will create gaps and hostility towards us in the Dawn Desert."

"In this way, it will be even more impossible for us to find a way to leave here, let alone break through the occupied area of ​​the ZAFT army from the front and return to Alaska."

"And this golden machine can defeat two Baku in such a short period of time. There is no doubt about its strength. Dawn Desert can hire him, and we can also hire him to fight for us. Having such a combat power helps the next We’ll all be a lot smoother along the way.”

"That's why I'm opposed to doing any real action on that golden machine, and once that machine needs to be repaired, we're the only ones he can rely on."

Listening to Bucky Lulu's very reasonable words, Maru also kept nodding, and said to Mu: "The lieutenant said it is very reasonable, and I mean the same thing. At present, we can't do anything that will make the Dawn Desert create a gap for us." As for the matter of employment, you can talk to the other party."

Mu looked at Maliu and Bakilulu, suddenly smiled and said, "It's rare to see that you guys have the same decision on the same thing, well, I'll listen to you."

On the other side, Xiao Yun drove the car all the way in a hurry and arrived at Erica's temporary site.

As soon as I entered the barren valley, I saw the red machine squatting on the ground covered by camouflage camouflage, a group of Orb technicians who were surrounding the red machine, and various materials brought out from the HOME, and the other parts of the recycling house. Two people, Yamabuki Juri and Liam Garfield, were cleaning up a messy pile.

But among this group of people, Xiao Yun didn't see Erica, nor did he see Professor Luo and Professor.

I caught someone and asked, and only then did I know that Erica and the professor were in a container house. When I walked in, I saw Erica and the professor sitting and drinking tea, and Luo and Xiaoba were confronting each other on a console. Watching the computer crackling busy.

The first thing Xiao Yun saw when he came in was Erica who was facing him. Erica was also taken aback when she saw Xiao Yun, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Xiao Yun and asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

That look was a bit complicated and surprised, but there was a bit of unnaturalness and a little shyness hidden on his face, as if he felt that Xiao Yun couldn't wait to come over to collect debts.

As soon as this sentence came out, other people naturally noticed Xiao Yun, Luo turned his head and grinned at Xiao Yun: "I knew you would definitely follow, and when I finish these things, I will show you the good things."

"You go first." Xiao Yun nodded with a smile, came to Erica and greeted the professor with a smile, sat on the chair, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp: "I'm so thirsty!" , Director Simmons, there have been many unexpected situations this time."

Erica blushed slightly and immediately said: "As for this, I will definitely apply for more compensation for you."

"Then I'll wait."

The professor took out two cans of beer from his pocket, stuffed a bottle for Xiao Yun, and took a sip when he opened it. Then he said sarcastically to Xiao Yun: "My brother's luck is really very good. After returning to the earth from the universe, there is no problem. I think I have encountered so many things, but I have to remember that I am a waste merchant and not a mercenary, so sooner or later, no matter how lucky I am, I will not be able to stop it."

"This time, we have saved you from a disaster, so have you considered how to compensate us? I heard that you have made a lot of money during this time."

"Hehe." Xiao Yun smiled helplessly and said, "I don't want to do that either."

Erica, who didn't know many things, didn't quite know what the two of them were playing. After hearing the professor's words, a set of reasonable logic appeared in her mind, and she said immediately: "Sorry, I let you meet This situation is also due to the wayward relationship of our Orb princess, and we will find ways to compensate you as much as possible in this regard."

The professor didn't object either: "That's fine, but your Orb princesses are really wayward people, thank you for your hard work."

Erica covered her forehead helplessly: "Yes."

The professor suddenly appeared here, and Erica already knew the reason why the ship fell from the universe. She was attacked by a white heresy Gundam. When she heard Erica, she immediately thought of Mina.

And that white heresy was also developed and manufactured for Mina, and no one knew this better than Erica.

Slightly different from the golden machine, the white machine has been updated to a certain extent, which is almost equivalent to the 1.5 version of Heretic Gundam, with a slight improvement but not much.

After getting all the complete information of the golden machine, some weak points were strengthened, and these supplements were actually all carried out the same improvement when the golden machine was repaired. The white machine made up some armor and increased some firepower, and Some adaptive changes have also been made specifically for Mina, the adjuster pilot.

Therefore, although the two mechas belong to the same series, there are some differences after these improvements, and the golden machine will definitely undergo adaptive transformation and strengthening in the future, not to mention that it has been strengthened in the rumored plot. The red machine and the blue machine are gone.

The airframe of the same model will inevitably appear, but because of the different pilots, it will eventually be transformed into four airframes with completely different performances.

Shaking her head, Erica looked at Xiao Yun: "It just so happens that you are back, and the defeat of two Baku this time has completely proved the actual combat ability and performance of the Heretic Gundam, although it has a lot to do with the pilot, but thanks to you Let us collect good data, just adding a mobile air cushion device can actually make the body play such a performance, which is really something we didn't expect before."

"Do you think this kind of air cushion device can be popularized?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "It's better to increase the propulsion power and increase the battery output efficiency and reserve capacity. Promotion is possible, but it's very challenging for pilots. Rather than installing it on the M1 heresy, it's better to manufacture some new special-purpose aircraft and hand it over to specialized personnel. Besides, compared to gliding on the ground, wouldn’t it be better to directly develop a backpack or airframe capable of flying?”

Erica nodded: "You are right, in short, record the data as a data reserve, and you can use it when you really need it in the future. Then, have you found any problems with this battle? .”

Xiao Yun thought for a while and said: "Everyone's idea of ​​this thing is definitely different. I think it's because the firepower is insufficient and the armor is too bad. If I can have the PS armor of the Strike Gundam, I will definitely be able to equip it with more firepower. Keep all four Baku."

Erica took out a pen and paper and signaled Xiao Yun to continue, Xiao Yun said: "In fact, there is still the possibility of strengthening the backpack. Adding one or two groups of missile pods can enhance the strike capability. Although the mobility is high, the armor is flawed. That's okay. It has to be changed, especially for the established M1 heresy."

"However, considering the current development trend, the popularization of beam weapons is definitely a matter of time. You can consider adding an additional layer of anti-beam coating on the armor. Although the cost will increase, it is still cheaper than remanufacturing a machine body. For That’s about it for a mass-produced machine.”

"However, the Heretic series emphasizes versatility. It gave up the armor defense ability in pursuit of mobility, but pure mobility cannot bring direct and effective help to the battle, and it has not achieved the ultimate mobility. I want to make up for it. We can only develop a few additional equipment suitable for different environments and battle situations, and the standard ones are fine."

Erica nodded while recording, and then asked: "Then do you think there is anything that needs to be made up for the golden machine?"

Xiao Yun glanced at Erica, and said: "Didn't I say it, firepower and armor, plus an energy supplement to strengthen, the fighting method I am good at is a firepower fortress that can move flexibly on the ground."

"I roughly understand what you mean." Erica put down the pen and said, "But to achieve the level you mentioned is a great limitation even in the gravity-free environment of the universe, because the body itself Unable to withstand too much pressure, especially in the environment of the earth."

"In many cases, it is not that the airframe cannot load more weapons, but that there is no way to load more weapons on it. In this way, there will be a small horse-drawn cart, and the airframe will be broken. According to what you said, at least It will double the weight of the body, and more propulsion power is needed to support this weight."

"In this way, more energy is required, and more energy sources require more batteries, which will take up more space and weight."

Erica said spreading her hands: "So the exaggerated firepower fortress you want is probably only a dream."
