The two of them were recommended by Director Simmonds, and they knew what they were recommended to do. Moreover, Xiao Ran's formation of the ace unit was also widely spread among the Orb army, so they probably knew that they were recommended to join the ace unit. The ace force formed by Xiao Ran this time was also announced to strengthen Orb's high-end power and enhance the combat effectiveness of the entire army. It can be said that this is the first time Orb has established such a force after MS developed into the main force of the war today. Whether in Zaft or the Alliance, there have long been independent ace troops, but Orb has not had the first one until now. The importance can be imagined.
But Simmonds probably did not directly tell the two of them that they would be assigned cutting-edge machines. After all, whether to assign them to the two of them depends on Xiao Ran's intention. It would be wise for Director Simmonds not to say more in the middle, so Xiao Ran assigned the two to them separately. After the document was handed to them, Billy and Mayu were stunned for a moment. They took the document Xiao Ran handed them with both hands and opened it directly to read it.
It has been a long time since the last sea battle. The Crimson Forbidden Captured from the United Fleet has long been repaired and replaced with Orb's system. It has been added to the Orb army and has become the current Orb. In addition to justice, Dawn, the Savior, is the fifth B-class machine after the Midnight Four. As for the True Red Holy Shield that became a human stick, the captured Dark Assault is being repaired in the Dawn Society, while other machines, such as Azure Duel, The jet-black Thunder, Emerald Storm and other aircraft that were also captured in the battle are also parked in the Shuguang Society's warehouse and have not yet been distributed.
At this time, what Billy and Mayu were holding in their hands was the information about Crimson Forbidden and Midnight Gundam. After reading the information, the two of them raised their heads one after another, with some surprise in their eyes. Looking at Xiao Ran, especially Mayu, they never thought that Xiao Ran would give her the information about the Midnight Gundam, and this meant that she would be allowed to drive that car. It had special meaning in Orb. It was widely spread that it was for Xiao Ran. Prepared body.
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Xiao Ran also nodded slightly, as if he was giving a positive answer to the question in their minds: "Crimson Forbidden Break, originally one of the three special-installed machines in the follow-up plan of the United Army Actaeon. , was captured by our army in the previous battle, has the ability to fly within the atmosphere, is equipped with beam energy deflection armor that can resist most beam weapons, and the vps armor can resist live ammunition weapons. It can be said that the defense is extremely powerful, and The firepower and mobility have also been enhanced. It can be regarded as a diversionary fighting machine used at medium and short range. If it falls into the hands of the right people, I believe it can also explode with considerable combat power. In addition, the energy used by this machine is With nuclear power engines, there will be no shortage of energy in normal battles.”
"Midnight Gundam, I don't think I need to introduce it too much. It was originally prepared for me. It has eight-foot mirror armor that reflects all light beams. It is also the top secret of our army's Orb technology. It is different from Dawn , Midnight Gundam is more interested in high-speed assault capabilities, strong firepower and dodge capabilities. Although there is no threat from beam weapons, it does not have much defensive capabilities against weapons such as live ammunition and hand-to-hand combat, beam sabers, and swords. It is positioned as a mid- to long-range fire suppression type machine.”
Following Xiao Ran's words, Barry's originally indifferent expression became slightly moved, while Mayu was completely caught in surprise. Xiao Ran continued: "I am going to deliver these two machines to you, and you can also do it." The Shuguang Society is required to make specific changes to the two machines delivered to you. As pilots, I believe you also have your own ideas, so I will not make any mandatory requirements here."
Barry and Mayu stood up directly from the sofa, raised their right hands towards Xiao Ran and saluted with a military salute: "Yes, thank you for your trust in us. We will never let you down, even to the death." The machine will be shot down in our hands."
"Sit down, sit down." Xiao Ran smiled and pressed his hand, gesturing for the two of them to sit down. However, after sitting down, Billy and Mayu still looked a little excited. They didn't expect that Xiao Ran actually handed over these two machines. For them, one is a nuclear power machine with outstanding performance, which is the top performance among the machines currently owned by Orb, while the other one uses a new type of high-energy battery, but its performance is not bad, and it has a special symbolic meaning. , for Mayu, being able to drive the Midnight Gundam that represents Xiao Ran is already a great honor in itself.
Seeing the excitement and firmness of the two people, Xiao Ran also knew that they were serious in their hearts. They were indeed prepared to use their own lives to protect the machine that Xiao Ran had given them. Of course, they would not send it out because of their current emotions. The two people's thoughts, but at least their feelings are sincere now, but for Xiao Ran, the value of a machine can never be compared to the value of an excellent pilot, especially this pilot has extremely With great potential.
"I know what you are thinking, but for me, the existence of an excellent pilot is far more meaningful than an aircraft with excellent performance. If the aircraft is gone, it can be manufactured again. It only takes some time to create more Midnights. Gundam and Crimson Forbidden are both acceptable. From a national perspective, an excellent pilot is equivalent to a stable nuclear bomb. Even if you pilot any machine, you can exert its own strength, so you sacrificed to protect the machine. , then there is absolutely no need for this, and as long as you can protect yourselves in battle, sooner or later one day you will grow to the point where you can fight an entire fleet alone. That is the greatest thing for me and this country. help."
Xiao Ran didn't say anything very emotional, such as you are very important. We can't do anything without you. You are alive only so that we can create a better tomorrow together. This kind of thing sounds very soft and disgusting. It's also very hypocritical. Although what Xiao Ran said is similar to these, it is very realistic.
Xiao Ran was talking about the importance of an excellent pilot to the country. He did not mention the importance of Mayu and Billy to the country. Mayu and Billy were not actually important. What was important was the quality of their current Orb pilots and soldiers. Identity, it is only with this identity that Mayu and Billy become important.
What Xiao Ran said was very honest and realistic, but it would not make Billy and Mayu feel uncomfortable. After all, what Xiao Ran said was the truth, and it also proved that Xiao Ran valued their abilities.
The two of them would not think that Xiao Ran was just using them. Billy was mature and understood what Xiao Ran said and was convinced by Xiao Ran's directness and sincerity. Mayu was considered a big fan of Xiao Ran and felt that Xiao Ran was not hypocritical or pretentious. , this is the attitude that a strong leader should really have. To be convincing and respected, you rely on your own personal charm and ability, not just fancy words.
Seeing the two of them, he must have understood what he meant. Xiao Ran also turned to Director Simonds, who had been silent and seemed to have no sense of presence, and nodded: "Director Simonds, you will hand over the two machines to them. , the modifications to the two airframes should be carried out according to their wishes as much as possible, and we should also pay close attention to the repair work on several other airframes. If you know a suitable pilot, you can also recommend them."
Director Simmonds nodded and stood up, smiling slightly at Xiao Ran: "Okay, I understand. I will arrange for the Shuguang Society to repair those machines as soon as possible, and will also dispatch personnel to cooperate with them in modifying the machines."
"Yeah." After Xiao Ran nodded, he reminded Simmonds without warning Mayu and Billy: "Pay more attention to the techniques I gave you and don't let them leak out."
"I understand that those who have access to those materials are the core and most trustworthy people of Dawn Society." Simonds heard Xiao Ran's reminder and answered seriously. What Xiao Ran gave to Simonds was from Luo The powerful technologies obtained there, such as small nuclear fusion engines such as thermonuclear energy engines, red solar furnaces that can be mass-produced, gn-bots, and many technologies in the heresy series, also come from the 0079 world, super Some technical information developed by the world of Time and Space Fortress.
Once these technologies are successfully copied by Orb, they will definitely increase Orb's technical strength by several levels. And if they are leaked and obtained by Zaft and the United Nations, based on the background of those two countries, they will definitely be copied better than Orb. If you have to produce more faster, the consequences will become quite serious.
Simonds was also shocked when he got these technologies. If these technologies are combined to develop a new type of MS, then this MS will definitely be epoch-making. He has always been extremely careful about the custody of these technologies, even more so than Xiao Ran. Be more cautious. Even if you hand it over to someone you trust, you will never let one person get the key parameters at the same time. Unless the entire core development department has rebelled or been bribed, otherwise you want to get those key parameters from so few people. Technology is simply impossible.
The new machine that Shuguang Society is currently developing is based on these technologies. Of course, no matter how it is done, it must meet Orb's current situation and the necessary conditions for mass production. The cost, technical content, and manufacturing difficulty all have to be different. Strict control is required, so Simonds cannot give Xiao Ran an accurate report on what technologies will eventually be used in the mass production machine developed. The current time is too short.
Fortunately, Orb still has a chance to spend some time on the development of new machines. Whether it is the Alliance or Zaft, the two sides are fighting fiercely at this time. The power Orb has shown before also makes these two forces reluctant. To provoke Orb now, of course, it would be another matter if the new joint aircraft were developed and mass-produced. As for Zaft, until Durandal is not sure enough to control the situation, he will not easily fall out with Orb even if he develops a new machine with his prudence. (.)
