A journey through the Gundam world

Chapter 91 The changing world

The distance from Kaohsiung to Borneo is at least 2000 kilometers, and although the entire road is ocean, it is still the territory of the East Asian Federation.

But since ZAFT's base in Carpantalia was put into operation, a large number of ZAFT military submarine carriers carrying underwater MS began to operate in the ocean.

The combination of the underwater carrier and the aquatic MS did not completely defeat the coalition navy, but it still took the strategic initiative.

Forcing the coalition fleet to operate only within the cover of air power.

Now the entire Pacific Ocean, not the entire ocean, is just a fish pond!

And it’s a fish pond with so many sharks you don’t know!

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and asked Brother Jie.

"Do you have a way to contact the local people here?"

Due to time constraints, Alex decisively chose to call for off-site assistance and asked someone to assist him.

Although he also has options as a mercenary, considering safety, if he wants to get it done as soon as possible, he still needs direct help from Orb.

Regarding his request, Orb probably made arrangements in advance, so Jie Ge agreed without any hesitation.

Under the leadership of Brother Jie, they moved to another safe house, which had equipment specifically used to communicate with the Orb mainland.

After successfully contacting Chisaka, the colonel couldn't help but complain after hearing Alex's experience.

"How on earth did you end up being so unlucky along the way?"

"I'm not unlucky, it's just a bad fate."

After taking one look at him who was so shameless, Chisaka decisively gave up arguing with him on this issue.

"I can help you contact the Archangel, but you said you want to rendezvous with the other party as soon as possible. I can only think of a way. Now the East Asia Federation and ZAFT are in a mess nearby, and ordinary civilian ships dare not approach it. The waters of Borneo.”

"Excuse me, Colonel Chisaka."

Alex seemed very polite, after all, he was entrusting the other party with help.

"Even if you can't find a ship that goes directly to Borneo, it's fine if you can take me to the sea."

Chisaka was a little surprised.

"Do you still want the Archangel to pick you up? Although the East Asia Federation is considered a friendly force, ZAFT is almost always at sea, and it is risky for the Archangel to approach Kaohsiung rashly."

Regarding his concerns, Alex seemed confident.

"Don't worry, the Archangel is a high-speed battleship. If you go in and out quickly, there will be at least one fight and it won't take long. And I don't intend to let the Archangel appear near Kaohsiung."

Chisaka saw that he had another evil idea and did not try to dissuade him. After all, he was in his homeland of Aub, which is more than 5000 kilometers away from Kaohsiung.All we can provide is help.

"Okay, I'll contact the Archangel first, and you can discuss the rest among yourselves. Once confirmed, remember to contact me again."

"Grateful……"

At the same time, in space.

Aslan opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling.

Against the backdrop of the not-so-dazzling light, the ceiling looked pale...

"Ah, you're awake, Aslan."

He looked around and saw Nigel sitting on the stool next to the hospital bed with a surprised expression on his face.

You know, when the Holy Shield was carried back to Gnaku, the state was somewhat terrifying.

That powerful weapon not only knocked off his left leg, but after inspection, even destroyed the deformation mechanism of the Holy Shield's lower body. Now the Holy Shield needs to be overhauled before it can return to battle.

And if this shot hits the cockpit, Aslan may not even be able to survive.

"Nigall..."

He whispered the other party's name, and then he instantly recalled the battle scene before he fell into coma.

So he sat up suddenly. Fortunately, he didn't have any serious trauma on his body. It was just the violent shock caused by being hit that caused him to faint. There was some internal bleeding, and in the collision, his body was bruised by the seat belt. .

"The battle... is over!"

Feeling the dull pain in his internal organs, he clutched his chest.

"That's right, the battle is over. We suffered another shameful defeat."

Before Nigel could speak, a voice full of resentment came from the hospital bed next to him.

Aslan turned around and saw that it was Yitzhak who was lying on the hospital bed with a bandage on his head and dripping water.

"Yitzhak, are you okay?"

"Not dead yet, huh."

Although the other party's answer had a strong sense of arrogance, at least it sounded healthy.

"Where are we going now?"

Faced with Aslan's question, Nigel answered him.

"The long-legged one has landed on Earth. We have also been ordered to return to the mainland. We will arrive at Yakin Duwei in 5 hours."

"Moreover, I went back with failure."

Yitzhak, who was on the hospital bed next to him, still said angrily.

"That mobile suit..."

Aslan recalled the unknown model of machine that suddenly appeared, hesitated and whispered.

"That mobile suit was driven by an instructor, right?"

Although he was not sure, the fact that the opponent did not kill any of them with such a powerful machine showed the problem.

Not to mention others, Aslan believed that he would not survive the blow that the Holy Shield received if it hit the cockpit directly.

"This is war, Aslan..."

The instructor who said such excessive words showed mercy to him at the critical moment.

But he quickly thought of what Captain Cruze said.

"If you don't have the heart to pull the trigger, you may be the one who suffers."

What Lux said also echoed in his mind.

"Is there something we must fight against? War is really complicated..."

These contradictory words made him feel like his brain was almost turned into a pot of porridge.

Aslan's words made the air in the ward almost freeze.

In fact, it wasn't just him, other people were also vaguely aware of it. After all, when the Red Heretic disappeared, this machine appeared directly.

After a few minutes, Nigel hesitated to answer.

"probably?"

Yitzhak, on the other hand, turned his face away. The bandage on his right cheek prevented others from seeing the expression on his face.

The atmosphere was silent until Diego walked in.

"It's time to eat... Hey, you three, what's going on?"

At this time, on the bridge of the New Vesalis, CIC reported to Kruse.

"The Gamow called. Although the hull was penetrated, the breach was not serious and the situation of the ship has been effectively controlled."

Addis took off his military cap and scratched his hair.

"Fortunately, although the attack looked terrifying, it unexpectedly did not cause too serious damage."

"But that kind of penetration is very scary. Addis, imagine what if it was the bridge that was hit?"

Kruse looked intently at the image of the injured location of the Gamow captured on the screen on the bridge.

From the outside, the opening at the location where it was penetrated was indeed not very large. Compared with being penetrated by beam cannons and large-caliber naval guns, it could even be called a bit compact.

Moreover, after the breakdown, some lines were ignited by the heat generated by high-speed projectiles, resulting in small explosions and fires.

Unexpectedly, it did not cause major damage to the hull. To put it simply, the penetration was too strong and it did not hit the vital point. It was too penetrating.

However, according to the testimony of Nigel and others who returned, the weapon was fired from the launcher on the outside of the unknown body's arm.

Judging from the damage, it was in line with the caliber of the weapons used by mobile suits, but the terrifying penetrating power made people fearful.

The towering hull part of the Laura class located in the middle and rear of the hull was completely penetrated, so ZAFT did not find any ammunition remains.

However, according to estimates, this small-caliber ammunition has the ability to penetrate a warship.

In addition to the extremely high muzzle velocity of the gun body used for firing, the projectile must also be strong enough.

Based on current material technology, this must be a solid metal pillar.

That's why there are situations where one shot penetrates the target without causing serious consequences. This is because the technology is not new. It has appeared very early, such as steel needle bullets.

Although this is no longer a black technology, it is obvious that judging from the caliber of weapons that the MS can carry, that 'shell' must have metal smelting technology that far exceeds the current level.

In a short period of time, ZAFT maintenance personnel could only make these inferences.

If Alex heard it here, he would not help but sigh at the adjuster's ability.

Part of the performance of the Dyne Sniff and the pile driver can be roughly inferred based on a punched hole.

Kruse expressed his views on this.

"If it weren't for the PS armor, Aslan would be dead."

For some reason, Addis heard a hint of regret in his tone?

"Yes, if it were an ordinary MS, it would have been killed by this shot."

In the end, Kruse came to a simple conclusion about the weapon.

"Interesting weapons, if they can be popularized and mass-produced, the combat effectiveness of our army's MS will be greatly improved."

"Yes, but I heard that our country has successfully miniaturized beam weapons through reverse engineering."

The X series body data is a great gift for adjusters.

The miniaturization of beam shooting weapons, PS armor, and beam sabers. In short, in addition to the OS that makes people full of complaints, the adjusters have obtained many high-tech achievements from the Combined Army.

Not only did they enhance their own technology, they also learned the technical secrets of the alliance.

"However, I am more curious about the origin of that MS."

A worried expression appeared on Cruze's face under the mask.

He actually hates this kind of unplanned situation.Because this means more variables.

"But the one who can create such a thing is the Earth United or Orb, right?"

Faced with Addis's speculation, Cruze shook his head.

"I don't know, but we just need to report this situation, and then it's up to the intelligence department."

"Indeed."

Although it can be said that he fought a losing battle, it did not prevent Long Legs from landing on the earth.

However, the overall atmosphere within the Kruse team at this time is still relatively relaxed.Because if nothing happens to them, they will be able to have a vacation next.

In addition to the need for repairs on the battleship and the mobile suits it carries, according to internal information, the ZAFT army is going to make a big move next, which is probably a large-scale battle.

Therefore, we are seizing the time to arrange troops to carry out repairs.

Chapter 92 The place to be unlucky

The evacuated Eighth Fleet, after getting rid of the pursuit, circled the earth for more than half a circle and headed towards the base of Ptolemy on the moon.

This was built secretly by the Atlantic Federation in CE35, and was exposed soon after, causing the Atlantic Federation to suffer international criticism.

But the base had already been built, and the Atlantic Federation shamelessly called it the 'Space Police Department'.

With the gradual expansion of the base and the formation of the Union Army, it has become the largest Union Army space base at present.

It is also the location of the Earth United Space Force headquarters and the original destination of the Archangel.

"It has entered the communication range of Yue Headquarters!"
