Chapter 2405-2406 Teleconference
From the day Suzaku joined the mission, Gilford appeared in front of Xiao Ran at exactly the same frequency as Uphelia. That is to say, whenever Uphelia and Xiao Ran met, Gilford would inevitably Will appear beside Uphelia, completely cutting off any possibility of Xiao Ran and Uphelia meeting alone.
But that's all Kilford can do. Without being able to get the position of deputy governor, Kilford has no way to influence and manipulate the affairs of the eleventh district, even if he wants to influence the deputy governor of the eleventh district. The governor, but who is the deputy governor, will not pay attention to this guy at all.
And the most important thing is that although Guilford can guarantee to show up when Yuphelia and Xiao Ran meet, he is hard to guard against Rukino Saki. It is often inconvenient for Guilford to follow them between the two girls. A gentleman and a nobleman, Kilford did not allow himself to eavesdrop on the words of the two girls.
This also led to the fact that although Xiao Ran would no longer exert influence on Uphelia, Ruukino Saki would carry out this influence instead of Xiao Ran. After following Xiao Ran for such a long time, she was very concerned about Xiao Ran's thoughts, thoughts, and actions. , Liu Muye is definitely one of the few people who know Xiao Ran best, even if Xiao Ran didn't rely on him personally, the effect he got is exactly the same.
Gilford also had no way to do this, but fortunately Uphelia gave him the status of a guest minister, and he was able to review all the official documents of the eleventh district from Uphelia's hands. Gilford is arranging other specific positions, and it is not suitable for Gilford to occupy the positions of other people in the eleventh district, so all he can do is to fill in the gaps for Uphelia, but the final result is also Nothing can help, because all the official documents will be processed by Xiao Ran and Ryukino Saki before they will be handed over to Uphelia for secondary 'processing'. It should be said that it is study. Even if there is the original, there is really nothing he needs to do again.
However, Guilford still has a certain amount of pride. At least he never said anything against Xiao Ran in front of Uphelia. At least from this point of view, aside from Xiao Ran and his somewhat hostile attitude, this person at least Personality is still passable.
Gilford thought he was fighting wits and courage with Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran never took this guy seriously. With Ryukino Saki following Uphelia, Xiao Ran can also deal with other things with confidence, or just Playing with Nunnali in her spare time, slowly dispelling the obstacles in Nunnally's mind, or teasing C.C who is now called Sissy, the small life seems to be relatively leisurely.
But in fact, Xiao Ran has never really relaxed. He is collecting information about the whole world through the personal guards all the time, identifying where there are suspected participants appearing, and whether there are any participants in the empire. The size of the legion of those participants, and the analysis of these data almost occupied one-third of Xiao Ran's daily working time.
Taking advantage of the time to analyze the data, Xiao Ran will inevitably go to the camp of the pro-guards every day. In addition to receiving the collected data,
Xiao Ran will also guide the pilots of the personal guards to conduct training in the camp of the personal guards. Although Xiao Ran doesn't seem to have put much effort into the personal guards, the training schedule for the personal guards is full, starting from the morning. Including Jeremiah, they will get up for training courses, physical training, tactical training, and driving training are filled with these pilots' daily routines. There is no possibility of stepping out of the camp at all.
But for people like Jeremiah, although they were a little tired, they lived a fulfilling life, especially with Euphylia and Xiao Ran's gratitude for not dealing with the Kurovis incident, Everyone in the pro-guard team has devoted 100% enthusiasm to their tasks, training and work, and with Xiao Ran personally guiding each pilot individually, these people are also able to speed up at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. growing up.
And judging from the collected information, it is true that many situations have been discovered. For example, there was chaos in the mysterious country across the coast. After calming down, there have been several battles. If there is no accident, these two groups should be two different legions, fighting on the land of Guanghan over there.
Judging from the collected information, it is true that there are organisms that do not belong to this world to fight, but what makes Xiao Ran a little strange is that the conflict over there seems to be suppressed to a very subtle level, and it does not appear too much. High-level mechas are almost only B-level mechas, including when Cornelia was attacked before. Otherwise, if A-level mechas appeared, it is estimated that Cornelia would not be injured but died.
The appearance of these new machines has also caused some disturbances in many forces in this world, but currently the most direct impact on Xiao Ran is Lloyd's side. Development and redevelopment, as well as requirements for the supporting development of weapons and equipment.
Taking this opportunity, Lloyd just sent back to the Imperial Headquarters that Lancelot was basically completed, and only the answer to the final test remained. At the same time, he also submitted a new project catalog, including new armor materials, new KF A full range of technology catalogs with pure energy weapons, brand new airframes and more.
A few hours after the catalog was submitted, Lloyd was directly forced to participate in a remote video conference, and it was the first time Xiao Ran saw the emperor of the Butaria Empire in this 'close' way , as well as the prime minister, Huzner, and the first prince, Odysseus, who is extremely mediocre in all aspects as the crown prince.
It's just that Xiao Ran can see the real leaders of Butaria present through the screen, but these leaders cannot see Xiao Ran through the video. Apart from these few people, there are several other powerful figures in the empire. And personnel from the Academy of Sciences also participated in this meeting and listened to Lloyd's report during the meeting.
It is worth mentioning that such a meeting that affected the high-level of the Butaria Empire can only be held in the form of video under such circumstances, and one party of the meeting is in the eleventh district, but the person in charge Uphelia, the governor of the eleventh district, knew nothing about this meeting.
The place where Lloyd held the video conference was in his office, and the outside of the office was basically blocked. Cecil and Zhumu Suzaku were standing outside the gate to guard, well, it was very, very strict blockade.
Xiao Ran stood at a place where the camera couldn't capture, leaned against the corner with his hands folded and looked at the big screen in front of Lloyd, watching the good show in front of him so quietly that there was no sound at all.
As a respect for His Majesty the Emperor Butaria, Lloyd at the end of the video did not sit, his eyes slightly narrowed and he smiled lazily, and he did not show a serious look until the emperor appeared.
A man in military uniform stood up before speaking, bowed slightly to the emperor who was sitting on the same table, and then turned to the screen again, and said, "Major Lloyd, make sure you have a video conference." There's no one else in the place but you, and there's no eavesdropping device in place."
Lloyd's eyes are probably a little small, even if he is very serious and serious, he looks like he is squinting, but Xiao Ran knows that Lloyd's eyes are actually not that small at all, when this guy is surprised Those eyes are wide enough, but for some reason, they are always used to squinting slightly when facing other people.
After hearing the officer's words, Lloyd also touched his chest and bent down very seriously, and said: "Good day, Your Majesty the Emperor, good day, all the officers, I am sure that I am the only one in this office now, and there is no one at the same time. The presence of eavesdropping equipment."
After Lloyd's words fell, Xiao Ran looked at the people on the screen with a disdainful smile and nodded one by one. The officer who spoke also picked up a document, and compared the information on the document, he said: "Loy Major De, according to the information you submitted, the new generation of KF test machine Lancelot is close to completion. According to the data, the Lancelot that is close to completion already has the ability to crush the existing KF across generations. , can this be confirmed.
"It can be confirmed." Lloyd said seriously: "I think this point should have been confirmed through the video recording of my performance. Lancelot was driven by the exclusive knight of Her Majesty Uphilia, Lelouch Xiao, It exhibited absolute performance beyond the theoretical performance, and destroyed several KFs in a maximum of two seconds."
"Of course, I don't deny that most of the reasons why Lancelot can display such performance are due to the pilot, but if Lancelot itself does not have such potential and performance, then no matter how powerful the pilot is, It’s absolutely impossible to do that.”
"With the assistance of Knight Lelouch Xiao, we have carried out a deep rewrite of the underlying data of Lancelot, supplemented Lancelot's design weaknesses and made modifications. The modified Lancelot Even under the driving of ordinary pilots, it can exert extremely superior performance, especially in terms of flexibility and drivability, it has obtained a theoretical quality that exceeds the design estimate, so I judge Lancelot as the latest generation of KF , already has the possibility of mass production.”
The officer who spoke nodded, and confirmed what Lloyd said from the information Lloyd sent back, but there were still questions to be answered from Lloyd, so he asked: "However, the energy barrier equipped on the test machine Lancelot's energy furnace does not have the possibility of mass production according to your information, and there are certain problems in mass production for the whole machine. For the first time The first is the cost, and the second is the difficulty of manufacturing, so how can you ensure that the mass-produced Lancelot can achieve the same performance as the current test machine Lancelot."
Lloyd smiled leisurely: "Sir, it is my task to develop a new generation of KF and make it practical, but how to mass-produce it is your task. As for the manufacturing cost, this is not the main consideration of the Special Mission Research Institute. The task I got is to develop the next-generation KF and provide an effective mass-production solution, but if the performance of the mass-produced new next-generation KF is weakened because of the factors of mass production, then this is not worth the candle.”
"However, I can make some suggestions. If the next-generation KF is produced on a large scale, two versions can be carried out at the same time. The first one is a special version for excellent pilots. This version can be equipped with all basic equipment and can be customized accordingly. Adjustment, and this point in the future I also think is the only way for the development of military power."
"Using a few of the most elite super ace pilots to drive a special machine to gain an advantage from a single point, and then use a large-scale mass-produced machine to carry out the main force in all directions. This mode of ace combined with mass production has actually been tested, Cornelie This is actually the case with the troops led by His Highness Ya.”
"And judging from the video recordings of Luluxiu Xiao Knight, the effect of a trump card is far greater than that of ordinary pilots, and even dozens, hundreds of ordinary pilots can't match it. Could it be that a completely Will the price of a special version of the machine be higher than the price of a hundred mass-produced machines?"
"The second part is of course the mass production machine. It is true that the new energy furnace cannot be deployed on a large scale due to the cost and difficulty of manufacturing, but it is feasible to replace the energy source. In terms of large-scale operations, as long as fast charging can be guaranteed, There's nothing wrong with changing energy sources quickly and being able to sustain a fight without disrupting normal combat operations."
"As for the energy shield, this kind of equipment is actually dedicated to ace-level pilots, and ordinary mass-produced aircraft can actually use solid armor shields to solve the defense problem. As for the armor material, I think The newly submitted R&D plan for new materials is sufficient to solve this problem."
"In the case of appropriately reducing the configuration of mass-produced machines, replacing general energy sources, and using physical shields, I think the cost of mass-production should be within an acceptable range, but if you want to increase military strength, the necessary cost Consuming that is also necessary, and for the time being, it is the only new-generation body that can be mass-produced."
"Regardless of large-scale or small-scale manufacturing, at least it can give us a little more initiative in the military, especially now that other forces have appeared some new models, we have no other choice but to Create a mass-produced version of Lancelot to compete until a more powerful body is manufactured."
The officer who spoke did not speak, but turned his head to look at His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting on the main seat, and His Majesty the Emperor who had not spoken all this time also nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lloyd is right. If you want to continue to take the lead in the world, you must maintain the lead in armaments, and the necessary investment is also needed. Now that the feasibility of this new type of Lancelot machine has been confirmed, let's make a batch first to see .”
"But next, Sir Lloyd, I also hope that you can answer me, why use the method of teleportation to submit the research plan of the newer airframe."
