Chapter 102 Return to Prometheus
"Ding, your authority has been improved, your current authority is a sergeant, and your storage space has been expanded."
Xiao Ran listened to the voices in his mind, a series of voices almost blinded Xiao Ran in surprise, but he found it incredible, he quickly raised his watch and looked at it carefully, after really seeing the series of prompts on the watch clearly , suddenly revealed a look of disbelief.
"It turned out to be the Holy Shield Gundam. I thought it was a quota. I didn't expect that the exclusive mechas rewarded by the mission were actually selected according to the mechas owned by the camp and the level in the camp. My current level is owned by Aubrey. The completed mecha may only have Assault and Holy Shield."
"The ultimate mission card? You can come back at any time to continue the mission, and only keep five mission cycles? Can you take one person with you after you complete it?"
"What is the concept of favorability exceeding the full value? There are still Kira and Bucky Lulu? Kira can understand it, but Bucky Lulu can't understand it. He often quarrels with me and the favorability is full. ?”
"When the favorability is full, you can trigger a side mission and then take that person away? But why did Nima only prompt at the end of the mission? Does this mean that there are only 48 hours to complete the quota task of favorability? What a scam? ?”
Xiao Ran shook his head, and sighed slightly: "Forget it, now I don't even know what's going on with Prometheus, even if it's for Maru, I have to be more rational, now that I get the ultimate mission card, I can do it again at any time." For those who come back to this world, it will not be too late to complete the favorability quota task by then."
Glancing at the Archangel in the distance for the first time, Xiao Ran turned around and got on the helicopter parked on the ship, and flew towards the direction of Auben Island together. Waiting for the Archangel here is a waste of time.
Xiao Ran, who was about to leave this world in only forty-eight hours, every minute and every second was extremely important to him. Especially for important objects related to future tasks, the restoration of the Dark Heresy and the Holy Shield Gundam is the current top priority.
The helicopter landed directly in the Shuguang Club, so Xiao Ran could enter the dark heresy parked at this time after getting off the helicopter. In the factories of Aegis Gundam, Strike Gundam and Thunder Gundam.
It has been several days since Xiao Ran returned to Orb. The dark heresy has also been repaired in a few days. After all, it has not suffered any damage in the first place, but there is an extra set of long scratches and the loss of the flight backpack. Similar to the flying backpack currently used by the Dark Heresy, several spare backpacks have been prepared for the Dark Heresy under the mass production of the factory, and they can be used as long as they are installed.
Thunder Gundam's damage has also been repaired, and it is quietly standing beside the dark heretic, waiting for its owner to activate it again.
What Xiao Ran really wanted to see was the Holy Shield Gundam, which had basically completed its repair work. At that time, the Holy Shield Gundam was recovered by Orb. It is almost a pile of scrap iron, the only thing that can be used after repair is the head and limbs of the Holy Shield Gundam, and the torso is also the most important part of the Holy Shield Gundam, and it is also the most severely damaged place.
Fortunately, the Shuguang Club has powerful technology, and there are many powerful technicians. They just rescued most of the data from the database of the Holy Shield Gundam. Combining those rescued materials with the wreckage of the Holy Shield Gundam, it will be lost abruptly. Everything is deduced out.
With the information, the rest of the work is simple. The Shuguang Club added a processing point to start the repair work, and the place that should be remanufactured was remanufactured. Modify where it should be modified, and in the process, the technicians of Suguang Club also added some of their ideas on the deformed body. After such a long time, the body was finally repaired, and a substantial improvement was made on the original basis.
And if Xiao Ran hadn't learned that his second exclusive machine was the Holy Shield Gundam after completing the mission, perhaps he hadn't even discovered that the Holy Shield Gundam had been repaired yet.
Perhaps it was God's arrangement. In the process of improving the machine body, Xiao Ran was used as the pilot template to modify this machine body, and the person who tested this new holy shield chose Xiao Ran as the test machine. division.
As soon as he entered the factory, Xiao Ran put his eyes directly on the Holy Shield Gundam, and was a little stunned when he saw the appearance of the Holy Shield Gundam at this time.
Today's Holy Shield Gundam has changed a lot from the original Holy Shield Gundam. The Kraken energy cannon that was originally located in the abdomen has been moved to the chest. To allow the holy shield to be used even when it does not transform into a ma, the original high-energy beam gun was replaced with a long beam gun. The mainly black shield has been modified into a melee-combat style, and at the bottom of the shield are three sharp physical daggers facing the same direction. The shield can be used as a pair of sharp claws.
And the appearance of this shield has changed even more from the original. First of all, there are more things like wind wings on the top and two sides of the shield. Gundam, Z Gundam, etc. have the feeling of transformable body shields.
It feels like that, but this shield doesn't have much curvature, and it looks like it should be improved from the original shield.
The changes to the shoulders, legs, and arms are not major, there are only some slight differences, but at the point where the shoulders were originally pointed, there is an extra spike on each side that is the same as on the shield. There are also corresponding spikes on the center and knee armor. These spikes and the spikes on the shield are called mechanical claws by technicians.
The biggest change is probably the waist propulsion module on the side. The propulsion module with only a little angle was completely redesigned, and it no longer has the original width, making the propulsion module a bit narrower. But looking carefully, Xiao Ran immediately picked it up Eyebrows, he found that this propulsion module was similar to the Z Gundam's, but one was hung behind the back and the other was hung on the waist.
And now the thruster modules of the Holy Shield Gundam are more three-dimensional, which also results in a single thruster module with four thruster ports, two smaller ones and two normal-sized ones. The two add up to eight propulsion ports, not counting the propellers on the back.
What's even more unexpected is that inside the two thruster modules, there is also a long high-energy beam gun that can change the angle. It can be seen at a glance that it can attack in ms mode and ma mode.
These changes of the Holy Shield Gundam made Xiao Ran somewhat confused. I quickly found a technician to explain it to him.
After listening to the technical staff's explanation, Xiao Ran nodded with unspeakable joy in his heart, which quickly turned into excitement.
Today's Holy Shield Gundam has been transformed. It is no longer what it used to be, like an octopus. Rather, it is truly similar to the Ma in the form of an airplane. In other words, the current Holy Shield already has the ability to fly in the atmosphere, even in the MS form.
In terms of armament, the original weapon has been replaced with a long high-energy beam cannon, and the Siren energy cannon can also shoot in MS mode, and at the same time can use the two high-energy beam guns on the flight module. In ma form, although the siren energy cannon is blocked and cannot be used, the high-energy beam cannon and two high-energy beam guns can be used. The firepower of the three weapons has also been greatly enhanced compared with the original holy shield when it can only use one siren energy to run in ma form.
In the ma form, the mobility and speed are completely beyond the original, and even faster than the dark heresy. It can also fly at supersonic speed in the atmosphere, and the ms form can also be compared with the speed of the dark heresy. The two thruster modules are also equipped with battery energy packs, which are at the same level as the dark heresy in terms of energy.
What surprised Xiao Ran even more was that the Suguang Society had successfully developed the vps armor and used it on this holy shield. The rich energy made the color of the holy shield turn black after activating the vps armor. Only a few unimportant places are restricted to red for energy saving considerations.
Originally, Xiao Ran was excitedly planning to drive the Holy Shield to test it, but he got the machine body which was not fully completed and it would take about two days to test it.
And this time coincided with the deadline for Xiao Ran to return to Prometheus. In the end, he gave up this idea with some helplessness. After looking at it for a long time, he turned and left reluctantly after hearing that the Archangel had entered the port.
When he arrived at the dock where the Archangel was parked, he saw Maru walking slowly out of the Archangel, Xiao Ran took off the mask on his face, ran towards Maru with a smile on his face, and then in Mu, Under the stunned gazes of Kira, Bucky Lulu and others. He directly hugged Maru and turned around several times, which also made Maru's face turn red instantly. Embarrassed, he pushed Xiao Ran away.
After smiling at Maru, Xiao Ran walked over to Mu. In front of Bakilulu and Kira, he said with a happy mood: "You are welcome to return to Orb again. This time, you will have no chance to leave."
"I knew it would be like what you said, we might as well not go to Alaska." Mu smiled wryly, shook his head and thumped Xiao Ran's chest: "You are right, the Earth Army is not a good thing at all, haha Ha ha."
Baki Lulu glanced at Xiao Ran, then at Maru, and then saluted Xiao Ran formally, "Please take care of me from now on."
Xiao Ran smiled, and patted Bucky Lulu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything for you."
"From today, Mu Ra Flag, Natal Bakilulu, and Marius Ramias are officially promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Orb Army Third Space Fleet, and Marius is the flagship Archangel Captain, Mu is the commander of the ms team, and you, Bucky Lulu, will be my adjutant in the Third Fleet, and cooperate with me to be responsible for all the work of the Third Fleet. The entire Third Fleet will be supported by Orb and the three of you Go ahead, and your letter of appointment will come down soon."
"Xiao Ran?" Maru looked at Xiao Ran in astonishment, the latter waved his hand slightly, and said seriously to the three of them: "The situation in the world is still very complicated, although the battle between the Earth Army and ZAFT has temporarily stopped, but no matter what Whether it is the Earth Army or ZAFT, they both hold the cards that can directly eliminate the other party, whether it is for the peace of this world or for your own life, you'd better follow my arrangement."
"There's nowhere to go anyway." Mu shrugged and stretched out his hand to Li Ran, the two of them shook hands lightly and then released, Mu immediately gave a military salute to Li Ran. Soon, Bucky Lulu and Maru also made the same action.
In the evening of the same day, representative Asha, who found time to come, met with the former Earth Army officers headed by Maliu, Mu, and Bakilulu, delivered some speeches, and prepared a small reception for these people. Mario, Mu, and Bakilulu were called out alone, along with Kira, Diego, and Nigel.
After Xiao Ran introduced Genesis and anti-neutron jammers again, and deduced that a bigger war would break out between ZAFT and the Earth Army soon, and even involve Orb, everyone also understood Xiao Ran's thoughts a little bit. . Xiao Ran went on to explain that he hoped to gather more forces. These forces include the Klein faction who can now fight against the Sarah faction, as well as neutral forces such as the Waste Merchant and Trade Union. After the idea of three forces to prevent the war, it was also recognized by everyone present.
Everyone discussed until very late and then they left. Xiao Ran wanted to keep Maliu, but was rejected by Maliu. He could only sigh helplessly and sent Maliu, Mu, and Bakilulu back. On the Archangel, Kira naturally wanted to go back, but this guy Diego dragged Nigel to the Archangel, which made Xiao Ran amused.
Early the next morning, an internal meeting of the Third Fleet, which had not yet been formally established, was held in a meeting room of the Obon Island Defense Force. Some of the participants were middle-level officers of the former Earth Army, Mario, Mu, and Bakilu. Lu, at this time they have all put on the military uniforms that belonged to Orb, and there are also officers who belonged to Orb.
Diego, Nigel, and Kira were wearing the clothes of the Aurora Club to attend. At the meeting, Xiao Ran announced their respective commitments. The entire Third Fleet will be dominated by him, with Ma Liu, Baki Lulu, and Mu as the core. The formation of the Third Fleet began, and Xiao Ran selected one of Orb's officers to serve as an adjutant. This person was Kisaka who had contacts with everyone on the Archangel when he was in North Africa.
Knowing that he was about to leave, Xiao Ran handed over all the work to Kisaka and Bucky Lulu on the grounds of his inexperience, so that the two could work together without asking for his opinion, and completely delegated the authority of the entire Third Fleet Gave it to two people. In the following time, he ran backwards to follow Maliu and guard Maliu until the last time came.
It's almost time to return, Xiao Ran made a regular voice message for Maliu, Bakilulu, Kisaka and Mu, telling them that he needs to investigate a very important matter and needs to leave for a short period of time After that, he left Auben Island alone, and returned with his eyes closed in an empty place.
After being dizzy for a while, Xiao Ran opened his eyes, turned his head and looked around, this was the ganaku where he was before he went to the world of Gundam Seed, there was only one ganaku which was empty on the console, and he didn't know When have two MSs been placed, one is the Dark Heresy that Xiao Ran has fought several times and won countless victories, and the other is the Holy Shield Gundam that Xiao Ran is extremely greedy but has never used.
"I'm back... Prometheus..." Xiao Ran murmured while looking at the two machines, feeling a sense of loneliness spontaneously.
"Ding, No. 678 newcomer task has been completed, and now the evaluation and final settlement of No. 678 will begin." (To be continued)
ps: Volume D is temporarily over, and this level should be regarded as a relatively good end.
