The Orb army, which no longer has a country, under the leadership of Xiao Ran, temporarily turned this colonial satellite that was abandoned due to the war between ZAFT and the Earth Army into a temporary command post for the Orb army. Although this colonial satellite The satellite has been abandoned, but it is still in normal operating condition.
Energy, air, water, and even the necessary living supplies needed by the fleet can all be found in this colonial satellite. After walking into the bridge of the Archangel, the first order Xiao Ran gave was to let the three battleships The escort team, landing force and maintenance team left the warship and went to the interior of the satellite to search and count the available supplies and usable equipment in the colonial satellite.
The found equipment and usable supplies were slowly gathered together, and then classified and saved. Now this fleet of only three battleships has no Orb as its backing, and the Heavenly Pillar is even more unreliable. , and this is the only way to replenish supplies, so that the fleet can last longer in the universe.
At the same time, Xiao Ran also used the satellite-level communication device linked to the Archangel to remotely control the Orb army on the earth to carry out various arrangements and work from the universe, asking about the evacuation of the people, placement and protection, and other issues.
It wasn't until a yellow ship based on the Earth's military transport ship and then modified by Orb slowly stopped in the dock and lined up next to the Archangel that Xiao Ran put down his work and focused on On the new ship, there was also a slight sigh of relief: "It's finally here."
This yellow ship is not unfamiliar to Xiao Ran. He has lived in this ship for several days, which makes him quite familiar with the people in the ship. And Luo Jure, who Xiao Ran wants to meet in person the most, It is also in this ship.
Turning to look at Ma Liu, Xiao Ran walked towards the elevator leaving the bridge as he spoke: "Send a boarding request to this ship. I want to go there in person."
"Okay." Ma Liu nodded, and turned to look at Mirialia who was nearby: "Mirialia."
Mirialia typed on the keyboard in front of her with both hands without raising her head, and replied: "Received. The message is being sent, and the other party has replied. Boarding is allowed."
Xiao Ran came out of the bridge, put on his pilot uniform and flew out of the Archangel in a small docking shuttle and entered the opened hatch of the yellow battleship.
The small shuttle landed on the steel floor of the battleship, and the hatch above the head was closed again. Looking out through the transparent cockpit cover, the entire cargo hold was filled with various boxes that were neatly arranged and fixed one by one. Although Some boxes are just containers without any markings, but many of them are clearly marked with the words dangerous goods. For example, the ammunition used by battleships, etc.
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and waited until a red light in the shuttle turned green before opening the canopy and floating out. Before he fell to the ground due to the microgravity in the warehouse, he saw two figures not far away coming from Floating out of the opened door in a flash.
Luo Jure, who had brown hair, laughed and carried a suitcase-style computer, and waved to Xiao Ran from a distance: "Xiao Ran, long time no see!"
Following Luo was Yamabuki Juri, but the expression on his face was different from Luo's. He felt helpless. He said hello to Xiao Ran in a lazy manner: "Long time no see."
Xiao Ran smiled and waved his hands to the two people floating over. He kicked off the shuttle and floated directly towards the two of them: "Luo, Juri, how are you doing lately?"
"It's okay, okay." Luo agreed with a smile. He reached out and grabbed the floating Xiao Ran to stabilize his body, and then landed on the ground under the influence of microgravity: "Thanks to Orb, having this ship has helped us a lot. Recently, I have been carrying this ship A lot of things were recycled.”
"Haha." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I'm sorry to ask you to come here, but there are some things that we must discuss in person, and there are also some things that I need your help with."
Luo shook his head gently, patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and said seriously: "We are friends. If you need help from me, no matter where I am, I will come to you. We also know about Orb's affairs. The things I brought here are some repair equipment, living supplies, battleships, mobile suit ammunition and some replacement parts."
Listening to what Luo said, Yamabuki Juri rolled his eyes helplessly, sighed and said quietly: "These things have wiped out all the money we have in the recycling house. This is because the union knows that these things are handed over to you." Use it, half sell, half give away part of the product, and get part of the order free.”
Yamabuki Juri's words made Luo scratch his hair and laugh.
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment when he looked at Luo and Shanbuki Juri. He could be said to have given all his help to Luo. Xiao Ran was also moved in his heart. He nodded lightly and said, "Luo, Juri, thank you for your help to us." Help, I don’t know what to say if it’s too much, but for the help you gave us today, we will definitely compensate you twice as much in the near future.”
Luo Gang wanted to say no, but Juri next to him strangled his neck and covered his mouth. Juri stared at Xiao Ran with shining eyes: "Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true." Xiao Ran nodded heavily and said affirmatively: "This evacuation from Orb may seem to the outside world because Orb is defeated by the Earth Army, but the real situation is because we are afraid of affecting the The people of Orb evacuated voluntarily, all key things have been moved, and the military structure is also intact, so it is not impossible to recover Orb, it just lacks a suitable opportunity, but I think it won’t take too long.”
"Then it's settled." Juri shook off the struggling Luo, raised his hand to Xiao Ran and extended his palm. Xiao Ran smiled slightly when he saw Juri's action, and gently clapped his hands with Juri: "It's a deal."
"Hehe." Juri smiled happily, turned around and left with his hands behind his back contentedly, looking in a very good mood.
"Ahem..." Luo coughed twice, then opened his mouth wide and took a few deep breaths. He looked like he was about to collapse. After glaring at Shuli's back fiercely, he said to Xiao Ran: "You are in this situation now. , how can it be so easy to just say "recover", ignore him, just treat these things as given to you by me and the union, without any need for repayment."
"No, I didn't mean to lie or force myself. Retreating and recovering the homeland was originally part of the plan." Xiao Ran shook his head at Luo and said, "But Luo, I'm afraid I really need your help this time." ”
Luo patted his chest: "Just tell me if you can find any use for me."
Xiao Ran nodded: "Yes, but I have something I want you to see, just you."
"Follow me." Luo took Xiao Ran out of the warehouse and went to Luo's room on the battleship. After Luo turned on the computer, Xiao Ran took out several data storage devices and threw them to Luo, and said: "First Look at what’s inside.”
Luo tilted his head, randomly selected one from several data storage devices and plugged it into the interface of the quantum computer. There was not much reaction at first, but when Luo opened all the data and took a glance, his eyes widened instantly. His eyes were fixed on the screen.
"This... this... is this all the information about the new machine!? Oh my God! It turns out to be thermonuclear fusion energy. The engine and thruster are actually a whole. Judging from the data alone, it can achieve such a level of stability. What on earth is it? Who made this thing?"
Xiao Ran looked at the information that appeared on the screen. What Luo casually took out and inserted into the computer was the drawing of VF-27. Xiao Ran smiled and did not bother Luo to look at the data and parameters of VF-27 carefully, and left by himself. When I got to the phone in the room, I contacted George and asked him to send a message to the Archangel and ask someone to come to the ship to transport supplies.
About half an hour later, Luo reluctantly looked away from the screen, but looked at the other data storage devices in his hands with more enthusiasm.
Inserting another one, Luo exclaimed again: "Another new model! gn-x? Huh, no, why is there no energy system? But there is clearly an energy interface on the back, eh? The energy source is a gn solar furnace? What's this? What kind of thing is it? Is it solar powered? No way?"
Luo turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ran in surprise. Xiao Ran pointed at the data storage device in his hand, then quickly nodded and pulled out the gn-x's data storage device and replaced it with another. one.
This time Luo Ke was not busy opening the contents of the data storage device directly. Instead, he copied all the contents of the storage device into the computer and then opened them separately. Then he dug out the solar furnace information among a pile of information, but After all, these things are just data and technology, and do not explain the actual situation of the solar furnace at all.
Although Luo was a technical expert, it was a bit difficult to understand when faced with this kind of technological product that was completely different from the same world. After looking at the information on two different solar furnaces, he looked at Xiao Ran in confusion. Xie asked: "The information on the two solar furnaces is exactly the same, except that one has a very special filtering device. Why does it need to filter the energy? And what exactly is this solar furnace? I think I don’t quite understand.”
"The solar furnace is a brand-new energy source, a light particle energy source. This light particle has a very special and unique ability, which can allow MS to break away from the constraints of gravity, allowing MS to fly without a flying device, and Make various maneuvers that are currently difficult for MS to do."
