A journey through the Gundam world

Alex, who drove away, stopped the car and turned off the lights after driving for a distance.

He took out the grapple launcher and the satchel containing other equipment from under the raincloth on the back seat.

These things were secretly obtained from the armory when he was in PLANT and hidden in the space of the tablet.

Even if he is discovered, it will only be thought that ZAFT sent people to investigate.

Raise the grapple to launch the gun, aim at the top of the Gnaku in front of you, and then shoot.

After the hook hooked firmly on the roof, he used the quick lift to pull himself up to the roof.

After successfully reaching the roof, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he lay on the roof, pulled down the night vision goggles on his head, and first checked whether there were guards or alarm systems.

Then he cautiously crawled forward. Using movements that were not much faster than a turtle, and spending a lot of time, he climbed to a distance of about 50 meters from the other end of the roof of the Gner warehouse and stopped.

With the help of the cover of the vent, he squatted down, tilted his head slightly, and secretly observed the roof of the G-Gnaar warehouse in the distance.

Although the plan was kept secret, in order not to attract too much attention, the other party did not arrange excessive guard forces.

After confirming that there was no one on the opposite roof, Alex got up and hunched over quickly to the edge of the roof.

The distance between the two ganakus is enough for four trucks to run parallel to each other and there is plenty of room. It is obvious that relying on the hook to pass this distance is too risky. Fortunately, Alex is fully prepared.

He took out a personal aircraft from his backpack and put it on his body.

After confirming that it was fixed, he started the jet propulsion device, then suddenly jumped up, lifted himself up, jumped over this distance, and landed on the roof of the Gnaku opposite.

Just before landing, start the thrusters again and push back to slow down.

As a veteran, he was very good at using this equipment. He had used it frequently during the war, so when he landed, he didn't make much noise.

As soon as he landed, he quickly moved behind the bunker, and then scanned the surrounding area vigilantly.

The Atlantic Federation doesn't seem to have placed alarm devices on the roof either.

He carefully touched the entrance to the roof, lifted it slightly, and found that it was locked.

So he immediately turned around and found the vent.

After removing the baffle, he did not choose to get in by himself, although the space was enough for him to get down.

But the devil knows if he can come back after he goes down.Even if they come up, I'm not sure if the roof will be full of big guys by then.

So for his own ass's sake, he had to use other methods of investigation.

Chapter 21 Wutai G Series

However, he was not unable to detect it. He took off the micro-drone that came with the tablet and controlled this little thing.

Slowly flying into the vent, there were indeed infrared trigger alarms scattered throughout the vent.

Given the size of a human being, it is absolutely unavoidable.But it's not difficult for micro-drones to get through.

The bee-shaped drone flapped its wings, easily dodging infrared rays, and then passed through the gap in the vent baffle and entered the interior of the Gnaku.

Through the synchronized picture of the compound-eye structure camera, Alex clearly saw the busy scene inside.

The most eye-catching one is a mobile suit lying on a truss crane.

Judging from the head and body styles, this should be a Duel Gundam.

Duel Gundam, numbered GAT-X102, is the first mobile suit of the Atlantic Federation's G plan.

Although among the five Gs, it is the one that looks the least distinctive.

But it is the most standard general-purpose model in the X100 series framework, and it is also the first of the entire series. It can be called the mother machine, and its significance and importance are naturally self-evident.

It was with this seemingly decent mobile suit that the Federation Army subsequently developed the mid- to long-range artillery X103 Storm, and the X105 Strike, which carried multiple sets of replaceable equipment.

Although subsequent mass-produced machines are based on Strike, many Duel Gundam influences can be seen.

Based on the X100 skeleton, the melee special attack type X207 Thunder and the X303 Holy Shield using a variable skeleton evolved.

At this moment, this MS is lying quietly on the truss crane.

The drone lens lying on the beam above the Gnaku zoomed in, allowing Alex to observe it carefully.

Judging from the fact that this machine body is fully armored, it is basically completed.

Logically speaking, actual testing should be carried out, but in order not to expose the existence of the aircraft, the coalition's plan is to wait for all five Gs to be completed and then use the Archangel to return them to the lunar base for testing.

Therefore, what was going on here in Heliopolis was just construction work.

After confirming this one, Alex controlled the drone to fly to the next truss crane.

Lying on this car is the X103 Storm Gundam, which has also been completed.

As the second G-series machine to be manufactured, Storm Gundam was originally designed to be a long-range heavy fire support unit.

And because it only considers long-range combat, it is not even equipped with the same beam melee weapons and shields as duels.

Such an extreme positioning requires this machine to pay attention to its own position, and at the same time, it must have the cooperation and cover of its teammates.

However, the Storm Gundam is not completely devoid of melee capabilities. The multiple sets of thrusters on its legs and back make it highly maneuverable even if it is approached by other mobile suits.

Rather than being too clumsy and becoming the opponent's fault.

Although it is not equipped with a beam saber, according to rumors, Baofeng actually has one, the XM404 physical ship-killing knife 'Grand Slam', but this has not been confirmed.

At least Alex has not found the shadow of the physical ship-cutting knife on the truss crane now, or it may be stored elsewhere.

In addition, each side of Baofeng's shoulder armor is equipped with a 6-unit missile launcher.

Storm's main weapons are two long-range cannons with completely different types of ammunition hanging on its back.

Behind the right shoulder is a 350mm electromagnetic gun, which fires live ammunition.

Behind the left shoulder is a 94mm high-energy beam rifle that fires a beam.

Two different artillery pieces are mainly used to face different mission requirements.

And the two cannons can also be assembled into one.

When the beam cannon is in front, it is an ultra-long-range pulse beam cannon.

When the electromagnetic gun is in front, it is a scatter gun against armor.

Although there is one live ammunition and one beam, both artillery are large energy consumers.

In order to ensure that the battery can keep up with consumption, an additional backup energy source is installed inside the body specifically for weapons.

It is directly connected to the weapons through the waist connector, which not only provides longer battery life, but also ensures that the two weapons will not fall off easily.

At the same time, in order to ensure the shooting accuracy of the machine body, the detectors throughout the body have been strengthened.

Not only the eyes, but also the protruding detection module in front of the head antenna.

There is also a dual sighting system in front of the waist to ensure that the aircraft can still have very high shooting accuracy even under neutron interference.

On the third truss crane next to the storm, it was X105 attacking.

From the outside, a raid appears to be the same as a duel.

In fact, unlike the experimental first duel, the X105 Assault was designed with the possibility of a single machine facing different battlefields in mind.

Therefore, the interchangeable backpack function is adopted. In order to realize this function, especially the convenient hot-swappable backpack docking, the main thruster on the back is specially set to a position close to the waist.

The main thruster behind the duel is still located in the center of the back, and obviously does not have the same ability to quickly change equipment as a storm attack.

This can also be seen after adding additional equipment to the corpse suit in the duel. The equipment for the duel must be replaced in the Gnaku, and the only option is to 'explode armor' on the battlefield.

In the bare metal state, Assault only has the Porcupine Array Vulcan Cannon on its head and the Armor Breaker combat dagger on its waist.

In Duel, there is no armor-piercing blade, but there are two beam sabers on the back.

Therefore, from a positioning perspective, Strike Gundam actually has better combat performance than Duel.

The bodies on the other two truss cranes are still in parts.

You can roughly distinguish between Thunder and Holy Shield.

Compared with the first three machines developed based on the X100 series framework.

The X200 series of Thunder and the X300 series of Holy Shield are not only more complex in structure, but also have more functions.

Therefore, the slow progress was not beyond Alex's expectation.

In particular, the Holy Shield, which is based on the X300 series frame, can be said to be the most complex and demanding operating machine among the five G-series machines.

So much so that in the subsequent simplified mass production by the United Army based on the G series body, even Thunder using phantom particles was mass-produced in the N dagger series.

The X303 Holy Shield does not have any mass production machines.Just based on its variable structure, several high-performance machines were produced.

This proves that the X300 series skeleton is indeed excellent, but it does have difficulties in operation and mass production.

In addition to these completed and unfinished airframes, there are also some shipping containers around, apparently used to store spare parts and weapons.

However, I didn’t see any specific parts processing, so I guess it was probably done in another Gnaku.

Alex looked at the drone picture and whispered to himself.

"Interesting, it seems that the coalition forces want to wait for the Archangel to be completed and then directly use this battleship to transport 5 G units to the lunar surface base at once."

Although doing this can avoid being discovered by ZAFT to the greatest extent, the act of putting eggs in one basket is tantamount to extremely risky in his opinion.

Once the Archangel sets sail, ZAFT, which has the initiative in the universe at this time, will definitely send a large number of troops to block the spacecraft.

Unless the coalition forces are determined to lose another 1-2 fleets to cover this ship.

Otherwise, even if Kruse led the team to attack, the Earth Alliance would not be able to easily use an archangel from the L3 space to safely send 5 G units to the base on the moon.

"Ok?"

Just when he was about to take back the drone, he unexpectedly discovered Ma Liu who had just questioned him.

She was communicating with technicians in work clothes.

So he operated the drone and carefully lowered its height, trying to eavesdrop on the other party's conversation.

At this time, they were standing next to the truss crane of Strike Gundam. The bee-shaped drone landed lightly on top of the truss, staring at Malu condescendingly.

"Well, this Gundam is really big, oh no, it's this Gundam Mashiro."

Alex considered a philosophical question from this. When Maliu usually walks, can he see his feet?

Shaking his head, he focused his attention on their conversation.

"How is the testing progress of the PS armor?"

The technician shook his head.

"Although it was successfully installed on Duel, Storm and Assault, there are still some issues that have not been resolved."

Malu didn't seem surprised by this.

This type of PS armor, called phase-transfer armor, was proposed by Professor Maurice Gale of Obhaliopolis Institute of Technology, and was participated by Professor Kato of the same school.

This is one of the reasons why the Atlantic Federation chose to cooperate with Dawn Society and manufacture the G-series airframes in Heliopolis.

Regarding the research and development of PS armor, in addition to the two professors mentioned above, Captain Mariu Ramias is also a member of the research and development team.

And this Professor Kato is also Kira's teacher, so Kira, as a hard-working student, also participated in the work of PS armor without knowing it.

And later participated in the compilation work of G series OS.

"Give me a summary of the problems and I will discuss them with the professors."

"Yes!"

Then they walked away, and Alex, who heard their conversation with the help of a drone, also understood that under the current situation, the PS armor of these machines was not fully functioning properly.

The PS armor is the iconic defensive device of the five Gundams. It can be said that if this suit of armor had not been available at the beginning, Miguel and Maru and Kira would have been easily killed by Miguel during the attack.

The so-called PS armor is made of superconducting materials through voltage activation, making it highly defensive.

After activation, the defensive properties of live ammunition and physical swords reach an unreasonable level.

Even armor-piercing projectiles and even high-speed projectiles fired from electromagnetic guns cannot penetrate this armor that is like a wall of sighs.

The PS armor appears metallic gray when not activated and is easy to maintain. After activation, it appears in different colors depending on the voltage.

Basically the darker the color, the more defensive it is.

However, this also brings about a problem, that is, it is also a large power consumer.

Especially in the case of being shot, the shot area will accelerate power consumption.
