Chapter 7 Erica Simmons

Chapter 7 Erica Simmons

A few minutes later, the golden machine was lifted up from the sea by multiple ropes. It was still emitting white smoke when it was lifted up. Someone quickly recovered the broken parachute and cleaned up the traces. As for the things that had completely sunk into the water, there was naturally no time to search carefully.

The golden heretic that was lifted up looked extremely miserable. The golden soles of its feet had been broken and the thrusters on its soles were completely damaged.

The legs also looked almost scrapped. There was no intact piece of armor on the whole body of the machine. In addition, there were traces of melting when it was lowered. It felt like it was only one step away from being scrapped.

But the final result was still within Xiao Yun's expectations. It was almost the same. Xiao Yun was actually less affected in the cockpit than he had imagined, that is, he suffered some minor impacts.

Xiao Yun actually had a lot of experience in simulating the orbital launch project, at least more than 500 times. Orbital launch was originally one of the compulsory subjects for the giant god pilot. Xiao Yun dared to guarantee that no one in the world knew more about this than him.

He did not dare to jump down from the orbit when driving the golden machine, but in another situation, he had already broken through the black barrier area and slowed down, and there was still the sea below, so he did not have too many concerns.

In fact, in the training subjects of the Titan, this kind of orbital delivery without a landing chamber generally only requires the driver to ensure his own survival, and the damage to the machine is completely out of consideration.

Without considering the integrity of the machine, using the machine itself and other conditions to reduce the impact on the pilot is also a basic requirement in the training subjects. Xiao Yun fully met the requirements this time and did a very good job. After all, there is hope only if you survive. The damage to equipment is not considered at all in the era of space exploration. The pilot itself is a more precious existence.

Destroying the surface tension of the water and entering the sea is also a scoring situation. If there is any mistake, the result will be completely different. The real landing point of the golden machine is not the sea surface but the churning waves and foam.

Another reason is the material problem of the Gundam Astray itself. The buffering force of the foamed metal armor is also quite excellent. The bubble structure has a very good absorption effect on the impact force. The machine itself is greatly damaged, but the impact on Xiao Yun is not that great.

In addition, the heavy heat-insulating suit he was wearing further mitigated the impact. I don't know if Luo had already thought of the possibility of unexpected situations, so the heat-insulating suit he prepared for him was surprisingly good in terms of impact resistance.

After being hoisted onto the freighter, the damaged golden machine was directly loaded into the cargo hold, and the freighter quickly turned around and began to leave its original position.

Xiao Yun kept looking at the situation outside through the fragmented picture. When the cargo hold was closed and went through the process of darkness and light, Xiao Yun found that a woman wearing an orange jacket and light-colored jeans appeared in front of the hanging body.

When he saw this woman, Xiao Yun also recognized that the other party was Erica Simmons who had just talked to him. He slowly took off the heavy heat-insulating suit that was not convenient for him to move, and then let VT open the cockpit door.

"..."

"VT, open the door."

"It's already open."

Xiao Yun: "..."

VT: "Perhaps the impact caused the structural deformation of the hatch door to fail to open normally. You can try to kick the hatch door open."

Xiao Yun stood up speechlessly, holding the door handle tightly with both hands and kicked the hatch door several times before successfully opening it.

After the hatch door was opened, an elevator also came to the side of the open cockpit, and Erica Simmons watched Xiao Yun climb down the ladder without saying a word.

It was not until Xiao Yun walked in front of her that Erica sighed and covered her forehead helplessly, saying: "You are too reckless. Is this the usual style of mercenaries like you?"

Xiao Yun shrugged: "I just landed as soon as possible according to your request. This should have completely met your request."

"That's right..." Erica smiled bitterly and looked up at the unrecognizable golden machine again: "But this machine is almost useless. After such an impact, let alone the outer armor, the internal skeleton is probably in a mess."

After hearing Erica's words, Xiao Yun turned his head and looked at the current golden machine. Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment.

The current appearance of this golden machine is too miserable. It is simply a super damaged version. Except for the fact that you can still roughly see the original appearance, everything has become pitch black.

There are cracks and defects all over the body, and all parts of the armor are also in a state of collapse. It can be directly placed in a museum as a scene display.

Xiao Yun groaned, "I think you want this machine just for reference. It can still serve as a reference as it is now. As long as we can get the complete information of the machine, it will be fine. But no matter what, the machine itself has become like this because of your request, so you still need to bear the cost of repairing the machine."

Erica smiled bitterly: "It's really straightforward. We will take on the responsibility of repairing the machine. After all, according to the agreement, this machine itself is also your reward. We will hand it over to you after it has been completely repaired, and there will be no defaulters." I mean, could you move your hand a little bit? This will offend me."

Xiao Yun lowered his head and glanced at the right hand on the pistol at his waist, and smiled shyly at Erica with sudden realization: "Sorry, sorry, it just makes me feel safer."

Erica shook her head: "Since we are the employer and we have given out the conditions of employment, we asked you to take the risk of landing from the universe, so you never thought about breaking our agreement, and I just made such an unreasonable and dangerous request. It's true." It is our problem, and we will be responsible for the due compensation and maintenance of this machine, and Orb will not ruin his reputation because of this kind of thing."

Xiao Yun smiled slightly: "That would be great."

Erica said: "In addition, we have a small request."

"Please say."

Erica said: "Regarding this mission and this machine, I hope to try not to have anything to do with Orb in the future."

Xiao Yun nodded: "I understand, this is part of the agreement."

"You may need to stay in Orb for a while." Erica nodded and said: "After all, this machine is damaged like this, and it will take a long time to completely repair it. If you don't settle down, We can also provide you with that.”

Xiao Yun originally planned to stay in Aub for a while, and said with a smile: "No problem, I just want to have a good vacation in Aub."

Erica smiled slightly: "Thank you very much for your assistance. I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time. It will take a few hours to get back to Orb. We have prepared a resting place for you on the ship. Please come with me." ”
