Gundam, Iron Banner

"why?"

It was Eliard who answered the questions, and he said helplessly, "Because there are not so many enemies."

"!"

After he mentioned it, You Bai immediately understood what Karl meant.

Unlike the One Year War period, I am now living in a relatively peaceful era.The usual work of the Black Otter team is to test new airframes, and even exterminating the remnants of Zeon is not their main job, and they only clean up when they encounter them.

But it was different in 0079. At that time, the battle line was extremely long. Regardless of the Federation or Zeon, they were enemies when they went out.To put it bluntly, in the decisive battle of Ah Bawa Air Attack and Defense, a Zeon pilot who casually shoots a shot into the universe may earn a head.

In a real battle, the number of kills can grow wildly.

I heard that the one who shot down the most at that time was an ace in the Zeon Army called "One Hit Kill".His kill count reached a staggering 193 units, which was the result of giving away many heads to his subordinates.

It can be said that it is the lucky one who can only be born when the right time, place and people are tied together.

What if you put it in the present?That must be more than enough and not enough.

There are no enemies, so why talk about shooting down?

"Understood? You Bai. It's good to have dreams, but don't get too far away from reality. ACE is easy to get, just think about the title. The war is over long ago, and all we have to do is wrap it up."

"This, yes..."

You Bai's mood was a little low, and he replied indifferently, and then his voice fell silent.

He really wanted to tell the other party: the war is not over yet, the real war is yet to come.The storm is coming, and we are all butterflies flapping our wings across the sea.

……

It was already 10 minutes before we returned to the Ganaku of the "Aswin".

You Bai sat in the cockpit to inspect the damage, when the hatch was suddenly opened, and a young man with freckles entered.

"Hehe, you were beaten badly, my new human brother."

"Well, the skills are not as good as people's." You Bai couldn't help but worry about it, "Is it good? Peter."

"Don't underestimate people, it's just that the hands and feet were knocked off. The most important torso of the MS is not damaged. For decorations like hands and feet, if you have spare parts, just sew them on."

decorations...

You Bai was speechless for a while, unable to hold back a word for a long time.

The maintenance officer named Peter looked at the damaged parts from the cockpit again, and continued: "The situation is actually not as serious as it seems. As long as there are spare parts, it will be repaired soon."

He puts emphasis on the word "spare parts."

You Bai couldn't hear the smell immediately, so he put his hands together and said with peace of mind: "That's great!"

"What a ghost!"

Peter glanced at him with a sideways face, and clapped his hands on the frame of the cockpit, "Don't forget, your 'Riot Jim' was originally used as a spare part. Now the spare part It's all broken, how do you want us to fix it? Find a juggler to conjure the parts for me!"

"Um..."

You Bai was so trained that he couldn't speak.

Fortunately, Peter was in a good mood today, and he didn't scold too hard. Seeing that You Bai was already curled up on the chair, he waved his hand and said, "But you're lucky, the rescued transport ship has your gift. Go and sign for it yourself later." Bar."

"Gift?"

"That's right! Congratulations. Sigh, I really don't know how the captain did it. He was able to get you an exclusive machine for a stunned young man. It's amazing." Peter muttered and floated out of the cockpit.

Chapter 20: Dedicated machine

"Exclusive aircraft?" You Bai was taken aback, and subconsciously chased out of the cockpit and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Look for yourself!" Peter pointed to the door of Ganaku without looking back.

Muttering "It can't be Gao Zhagu", You Bai turned his head to look, and happened to see a pure white mobile suit enter the garage.

It was a very well-marked body.

"The new 'Hazel'?!"

Looking at the Gundam machine parked at the door of the hangar, You Bai couldn't help but fell into shock.

But soon, he discovered that something was wrong. This new Gundam was not like the other Gundam models configured on the Aswin.The white color of the whole body is very different from that of the Titans. There are wing-shaped propellers and two large fuel tanks added on the back, which are different from the bulky backpack. Unlike Er", this mobile suit is clearly focused on mobility.

"Hey Peter, is this Gundam also a test machine? It looks different from 'Hazel'!"

"It's not just the appearance that has changed!" Captain Murphy came out of the cockpit of the new mobile suit and waved towards him, "Come here!"

You Baipiao went over, leaned against the hatch and asked, "Captain, what is this machine?"

"Didn't Audrey tell you? I followed up and applied for your special machine two months ago. But you also know that the actions of those big people are always slow, and the result is delayed until now. Just right' Hazel 'had new equipment to test, so I asked them to bring your special machine along with it."

"The one adjusted with my data?"

"That's right, this guy is quite powerful! Not only has he strengthened his armament and output, but he's also equipped with something quite suitable for you."

He patted the seat with excitement, "Look at this linear seat, it can greatly reduce the G force on the driver. With this baby, you can do whatever you want. Last time I saw you do With such reckless movements, I planned to apply for this thing. Hehe, you will be able to fight with your hands and feet in the future."

"Oh……!!"

You Bai was deeply moved.

The linear seat is an experimental product that has not yet been used on a large scale. It is not easy for even a powerful pilot like the captain to use it, let alone a rookie who has only joined the army for a few months.I really don't know how the captain got it.

Captain Murphy patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to Eliard and the others. You should familiarize yourself with the machine body and play with it."

"Yes!"

After the captain left, You Bai couldn't wait to sit on the new seat.

Although the technology has been innovated, it is a pity that the difference cannot be directly experienced by body sensation alone.If there were any unique changes, it would probably be that the seat belts were removed, which made him a little unaccustomed.Instead of the seat belt, there are several interfaces on the backrest, which seem to be directly connected to the standard suit to ensure that the driver will not be thrown out.

Turning his attention away from the seat, he realized that he was blind, and the biggest change was not noticed immediately.

The three-sided screen used to display the outside world in the past is gone. Instead, the overall shape of the cockpit has changed from a square to a spherical shape.From the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, there are displays everywhere.

"Is it actually a full-time screen!?"

He was shocked again.

It is not the first time that the full-time screen has been used on mobile suits. In fact, the special machine "Gundam NT-0079" for new humans in 1 was equipped with a spherical cockpit, but this technology has not been released yet.You know, Captain Murphy's own "Hazel Gundam" doesn't even have a full-time screen, so he is treated as a high-end machine.

It is worth mentioning that there are rumors in the military that the all-around sky display is specially provided for new humans. This thing can give the driver the illusion of being in the universe and improve the perception sensitivity of new humans.

Therefore, some people have always said that this technology has not been decentralized, and I am afraid that there are factors of fear of new humans in it.

However, You Bai felt that this statement was not credible. After all, he had heard from maintenance staff that the equipment of the spherical cockpit might be equipped in the next generation of main production aircraft.It seems that this "New Riot Jim" exists to test these technologies.If nothing goes wrong, it will be a forerunner leading the next generation.

Same as the spherical cockpit and linear seat, the changes in weapons are not small.

Perhaps because of the optimization of the driver's combat style, the number of beam sabers on this machine has been increased to four.Two handles are on the backpack, and two handles are arranged inside the side skirt armor.

The Vulcan cannon on Gundam's head was canceled and replaced with an external Vulcan cannon pod similar in shape to the headset. It has a larger ammo capacity, stronger firepower, and can also enhance the ability of the main monitor to find enemies.

Also changed for You Bai's fighting style is the body's arms.

The arm of the "Riot Jim" is different from other mechatronics. The one in front of me also canceled a certain degree of internal structure, and added an armed mount point at the cost.Despite the reduced stability, it is now possible to equip a certain number of optional armaments inside, including but not limited to grenades and cables.This is the point that You Bai likes most among the many armed changes.

Compared with the change of armament, the paper data of the MS main body is not much different from the past.

The parameters are still not impressive. Although in order to support the use of multiple beam sabers, the power of this machine has been slightly increased, but the range is not large.

If it is combined with the large propeller behind it, the situation will change drastically.Even just by looking at the number of nozzles on the propeller, it can be understood that the maneuverability and propulsion speed of this machine body are by no means comparable to the "preparation machine" in the past.

The only fly in the ointment is that in order to balance the weight of the body, the skirt armor and leg armor of the main body have been reduced, and the defense ability will be reduced to a certain extent compared with the past.No way, limited by the current technological limitations, defense and mobility cannot always be combined.

On the whole, compared with the "Hazel standby machine" that You Bai drove before, this machine body has completely changed.

"It's really strong, this machine... Although the performance of the machine is not as good as that of 'Hazel', with the blessing of the backpack, the actual combat ability may not be worse than that of 'Hazel'! Coupled with the changeable armament... No wonder it is my special-purpose machine, which perfectly fits my fighting style. The combat power is very different from ordinary machines!"

As for the problem of low defense, You Bai selectively ignored it.

Originally, everyone is using beam weapons these days. The power is so high that ordinary armor can't stop it.There seems to be little difference between one layer of paper and two layers of paper.Instead of pursuing armor, it is better to increase mobility first.After all, a senior once said: It is meaningless to miss!

Leaning against the new seat, You Bai felt an inexplicable sense of security.

He suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to give the special machine a new name.

"I heard that the captain's 'Hazel' was named after a fairy tale, but it doesn't matter! My things must be named by myself. Whether it's 'Riot Jim' or 'Hazel Reserve' ' Neither fit the guy. Well, considering the mix of the two names..."

After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself, "I'll call you 'Riot Suppressor Gundam'!"

In the quiet and serene atmosphere, You Bai, who was named useless, chose a not-so-cute name for his first exclusive machine.

Chapter 21: Misunderstanding

After spending a long time with his love machine, You Bai reluctantly left the cockpit and floated towards the exit of Ganaku.

It just so happened that the duo of Shabao was coming towards them, Karl called You Bai to stop, and said with a smile: "We heard, the special plane has been delivered?"

"That's the white one."

"Oh, it's still the color matching of the factory test machine. Is there a code name? It looks like this, so it may not be appropriate to call it 'Jim'."

You Bai told the truth about naming his love machine.

Karl seemed to have heard something inconceivable. He looked up at the pure white Gundam, and teased, "It's called a rioter? Your name taste is really too bad. From the outside, it should be called White Knight or something." Yes."

You Bai said seriously: "Then there is a suspicion of copyright infringement."

"……what?"

"Is the rioter Gundam? I think it's good," Eliard said. "We are Titans. As the envoys of justice to fight against the rioters, the name 'Rioters' is perfect."

You Baixin said that he hadn't considered this at all, but he was speaking for himself, and it was not appropriate to tear down the stage, so he changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, is it okay if I paint it in white? The logo of Titans is blue and black, right?"

"It's okay, your military registration hasn't been transferred to Titans yet, and it seems that the process is still going on? Anyway, this matter is not urgent, and it took us a long time to get it approved. This is not an easy task. "

You Bai nodded to express his understanding. Rather, he didn't want to transfer to Titans so early at all.Although I get along well with my companions, I still have a bit of resistance to this organization in my heart.

"Carl, have you seen Lieutenant April?"

"Huh? Looking for her again," Carl leaned his head and whispered, "I don't object to you getting too close to her, but be careful, Audrey is very popular. Look, don't care about your face." As for her figure, she is one in a million, if you really target her, there will definitely be fans who will challenge you to a duel."

You Bai was at a loss for words for a moment, he was stunned for a long time, and said distressedly: "Could it be that you are also one of them?"

"you guess?"

"...What a ghost. Anyway, don't talk nonsense, it's not what you think..."

You Bai does not deny that Audrey April is a beauty, but this does not mean that he wants to reach a relationship beyond friendship with her.For the lieutenant, he is more respectful and grateful, but the thoughts between men and women are very light, at least the current attitude has not changed.

And he really wanted to talk to April about something serious.

Regarding seeing the pilot on the battlefield, You Bai felt that it was necessary to have a chat with April.Even if some information cannot be pried out from her, it is still necessary to remind her, lest unexpected things happen due to lack of information flow.

But Carl didn't listen to his explanation at all, with a chicken thief's smile on his face, and offered April's location to You Bai.

"Just take it as you said! Good luck, Second Lieutenant You. Of course, it doesn't matter even if you get dumped later, at worst, we will spend Valentine's Day with you. Hahaha!"

"Yes, we will send you lovelorn chocolates."

Karl and Eliard held back their laughter, and each patted his shoulder before leaving.Unlike the words of encouragement, they didn't look like they supported You Bai.

"Valentine's Day? Eh? Eh...?"

You Bai, who was left behind, froze in place, speechless.

The unique atmosphere of the army made him completely forget that there was such a festival.

His ambition has never been to fall in love, and he has always been insensitive to women. How can he remember this kind of festival?

Blinking his eyes and looking in the direction his colleague was leaving, You Bai was in a delicate mood.

……

After submitting the body acceptance report, You Bai immediately went to April's location.

"Oh, it's no wonder their eyes are so weird. It's really hard to wash away after jumping into the Yellow River. I have to resolve the misunderstanding later, so as not to disturb the lieutenant... Oh, Lieutenant April? Please wait a moment!"

Walking through the corridors, he suddenly saw April's figure flashing across the corridor, and he yelled to stop.

To his surprise, April's attitude was slightly different from before.Hearing You Bai's voice, she froze all over, and turned around half a second later, with a smile on her face, "Ah...cough! Second Lieutenant You, what...what's the matter?"

The other party's tone and demeanor were strange, although You Bai was curious about it, but after all, he was not familiar enough to inquire about the privacy, so it was not good to ask casually.Considering the special nature of today, the other party probably has his own business, so he cleared his throat and prepared to solve the matter as shortly as possible, so as not to delay the other party's time.

"Lieutenant, I have something very important to ask. It won't take long, you—"
