(Is the pace of development now too slow? I saw some book friends in the book review section saying that development is too slow.)
A few days have passed since Xiao Ran saw the brand new Dark Heresy. During these few days, Xiao Ran would come to the secret factory of Shuguang Society every day and cooperate with the technicians of Shuguang Society to debug the body. Because the weapon system, Huge changes such as the backpack flight system have caused the OS that was previously written on the body to also need to be rewritten. This is definitely a huge torture for Xiao Ran, a person who can only adjust the system and OS but not write.
In the past, the Black Heretic only needed to press a few keys in the operation, and the Black Heretic's arm would automatically be taken out from the back according to the predicted trajectory. But now the placement of the weapon has been changed. According to the original operation, If this was done, not only would he not be able to pick up the weapon, but his palm would hit the waist skirt and cause a mistake in operation, so Xiao Ran needed to cooperate with the technicians to change the original settings.
Changing the weapon retrieval action is not too difficult. Just delete the original parameters, let Xiao Ran control the weapon retrieval purely manually, and then make record adjustments. These are considered simple modifications and do not waste time. With the full cooperation of Xiao Ran and Shuguang Society's technical staff, the basic adjustments were roughly made in just one day.
The remaining energy parameter settings, flight backpack parameter settings, etc. took a few days, and they were not all set up yet. Xiao Ran, who had been sitting in the cockpit all day, suffered from backache and back pain. I couldn't help but think of Kira.
Looking at the keyboard and system display in front of him, Xiao Ran, who was under the mask, was anxious and sighed helplessly: "If Kira is here, these things can be done within a day, but where is the Archangel?" Where, why is there no news yet?"
He had not received any news from the Archangel for several days. Xiao Ran, who was worried about the plot changes and Ma Liu's safety, was a little irritated. He scratched his hair and prepared to leave the Black Heretic. Unexpectedly, a communication box suddenly popped up on the screen in the cockpit. , Erica appeared on the screen with a serious face: "I just received news that the Archangel appeared near the territorial waters and was fighting with the ZAFT army."
Xiao Ran sat up straight and asked anxiously: "How is the situation?"
"Not very good. The information received is that the Archangel was seriously damaged in many places. The ZAFT army dispatched four mobile suits and a submarine carrier." Erica shook her head slightly: "Now there are only Strike Gundam and one The Sky Overlord is resisting ZAFT’s attack, but the military has sent a fleet to Orb’s territorial waters near the battle.”
Xiao Ran tapped the keyboard lightly and frowned slightly: "I want to attack."
Erica was slightly surprised and said quickly: "No! That aircraft must not appear in their sight!"
Xiao Ran frowned: "But the dark heresy has already appeared."
"Because it has already appeared, that's why it cannot appear in Orb." Erica knew that Xiao Ran's lover was the captain of the Archangel. She also understood Xiao Ran's worries about the Archangel, so she softened her voice slightly and comforted her. : "The fleet gunners sent out are very powerful. As long as the Archangel enters Orb's territorial waters, they will definitely have a way to get the Archangel out of danger. There are also talents that our country needs on board, so nothing will happen to them."
It's not that Xiao Ran didn't know that it was impossible to attack in a dark Heretic, but after hearing the current situation of the Archangel, he still couldn't help but want to rush out, not only for the sake of the plot, but also for the sake of the one who let himself be in danger. The woman who left first.
I don't know when, Xiao Ran could no longer suppress his feelings for Ma Liu. When he watched the anime Gundam SEED before coming to the world, Xiao Ran already had good feelings for Ma Liu, a person who only existed in the second dimension. Impression, this impression is just a simple two-dimensional like, but after coming to this world, the direct impact gave him a completely different feeling. The various interactions with Malu made him unconsciously, let him This impression turned into goodwill, and the kiss on the Archangel turned goodwill into love.
The feeling of knowing that the person he loves is in danger, and that he has the ability to help but is helpless for other reasons, makes Xiao Ran struggle quite a bit, but his reason also tells him that in this situation, he chooses to remain silent no matter what. It is the best choice for him, the Archangel, and the three parties of Orb.
Xiao Ran got off the Black Heretic and hurried into the main control room of the factory. Here he had seen the first-hand battle footage from Orb's reconnaissance helicopter. After seeing the Archangel in the screen, Xiao Ran While taking in a breath of cold air, he almost couldn't hold back his suppressed desire to attack.
The Archangel in the picture is as badly damaged as Erica said. A huge hole has appeared on the port side in front. It is burning with fire and black smoke is coming out. Also on the left, here is the Archangel. There is only one connection port left for the Liant electromagnetic railgun. The battleship is completely pitted and dyed a battle-worn black. Even a few thrusters have failed. If it weren't for the Strike Gundam and a fighter jet hovering in the sky. With the assistance and protection of the shooting Air Overlord, the Archangel's current condition is probably more serious than what it looks like now.
The Strike Gundam is extremely powerful in the picture. One-on-three, with the help of the remaining weapons of the Archangel, it is not far behind. The Sky Overlord seizes the opportunity to attack the Storm Gundam, without giving any blow to the Storm Gundam. Opportunity to lock down the Archangel. Facing the 'Yehuo' electromagnetic pulse cannon equipped by Air Overlord, Storm Gundam did not dare to attack forcefully, and could only seize the opportunity to shoot at Archangel or Strike Gundam.
The entire battle seemed to be at a stalemate, with the Strike Gundam's powerful and swift attack protection. Although the Archangel was seriously damaged, it still moved forward without any danger. Gradually, the Archangel slowly approached the Archangel. Xiao Ran was relieved when he saw the territorial waters where the Bu fleet was located.
After the Orb fleet started bombarding the Archangel, Xiao Ran calmed his breathing and ran out of the main control room. After running out of the factory, he got directly into an open jeep, 180 degrees After a rapid turn, he drove away with the roar of the engine. His target was very clear, a hidden shipyard on Obben Island, a closed shipyard completely built in the middle of the mountain.
As soon as the car drove into the dock, Xiao Ran saw Erica standing in the dock holding a tablet and arranging some work. Many technicians, staff, and emergency personnel belonging to Orb were already waiting here. Xiao Ran He braked hard and stopped the car, abandoned the car and ran towards Erica.
From the secret factory to the dock, almost ten minutes had passed. In other words, during these ten minutes, Xiao Ran had no idea about the current situation of the Archangel. When he ran to Erica, Xiao Ran Then he asked with a little rapid breathing: "Director Symonds, how is the situation now?"
"You really guessed that the Archangel would be brought here." Erica Simmonds looked at Xiao Ran's anxious look and smiled slightly, comforting: "The Archangel is out of the battle and is now on its way here, don't worry , the fire-fighting ship has immediately docked the Archangel. The news received now is that the fire on the ship has been controlled, and the rescue helicopter has also arrived at the Archangel, and will first transfer the injured on the Archangel. , there will be no problem.”
"It's okay." Xiao Ran exhaled hard, and felt light in his heart: "Then how long will it take to get here?"
"We can arrive within an hour or two. After all, we have just entered the territorial waters, and it will take some time to get here." Erica replied, seeing Xiao Ran's nervous and then relaxed expression with a hint of anxiety, she couldn't help but He chuckled and said, "You can take a rest during this period, and at least change your clothes to meet them."
Xiao Ran lowered his head and looked at the Suguang Society uniform he was wearing, then touched the mask on his face, paused and finally shook his head: "No, my current appearance and identity are not suitable for boarding the Archangel. , I will watch from here, and when the time comes, Representative Ashar will meet with the commander on board the Archangel."
"Wise choice." Erica smiled, waved to Xiao Ran and left: "I have to go and get busy. The ship is already damaged like that, which will keep us busy for a while."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded lightly. After seeing Erica leave, he turned around and found a place to sit down. He sat there for more than an hour, and his mind was filled with getting along with Ma Liu since he boarded the Archangel. Bit by bit, I don’t know when the corners of my mouth have turned up.
When the closed door of the dock slowly rose and began to fill with water, Xiao Ran also woke up from his memories. Looking at the Archangel that slowly approached and sailed into the dock, Xiao Ran smiled slightly and then turned around and left: " We’ll meet soon, Malu.”
