After confirming that Billy and Mayu served as the pilots of Crimson Forbidden and Midnight Gundam, Xiao Ran returned to Orb, and the turmoil caused by Orb and the United War gradually stabilized, both internally and externally. Externally, Aub also really started to get on the right track.
The refugee camp was established and began to accommodate those refugees who had crossed the ocean and came to Orb to seek refuge due to the war. There were natural people and adjusters among them, and Orb only gave them the most equal treatment.
After agreeing to Luo before, Xiao Ran asked people to find a calm island in Orb's territory for the waste dealers' union to use. And now more than half a month has passed, and many waste dealers have also Many people settled in Orb, and the island temporarily became the temporary headquarters of the Waste Merchants Guild and became lively. I have to say that the members of the Waste Merchants Guild are indeed outstanding in their abilities, whether it is picking up garbage or manufacturing. Without much help from Orb, he used all kinds of messy things to support himself, such as the wreckage of battleships, the wreckage of mobile suits, and even the Waste Merchants Guild's own ships to set up on the entire island and coast. A huge camp.
In addition to being open to people from the Waste Merchants Guild, this camp is also open to the refugees accepted by Orb, making the camp more lively day by day, and under Orb's protection, neither the Waste Merchants Guild nor the refugees Without the threat of war, although the environment is a bit worse, at least we can live a carefree life.
The Waste Merchants Guild also understands their current situation. They are not holding any auctions or other activities in Orb's territory. Instead, they are cultivating themselves and recuperating. There are also some people who are more actively involved in Orb's territory. During the construction work, such as the cleaning and reconstruction of the military port, the progress of the reconstruction of the military port has been accelerated a lot.
The Waste Merchants Guild will also provide jobs to some refugees on the island, introduce jobs, and proactively reduce the pressure on the influx of refugees for Orb. In return, Xiao Ran also allows people to work on the island where the Waste Merchants Guild is currently staying. It began to recruit talents who were willing to join Orb, and many people who were unwilling to continue wandering joined Orb.
There is a mixed bag of people in the Waste Merchants Guild. There are all kinds of people. Excellent pilots, excellent technicians, senior soldiers, warriors, etc. can all be found here. However, the identities of these people are equally complicated. There are servants. There are also soldiers from the original countries, so even if they are recruited by Orb, they will not be reused soon. However, if they really have certain driving skills, they can also be placed in the MS team. Often such machines Divisions will also form separate teams and only obey unified commands.
Those technical personnel will be assigned to the Shuguang Society, and they will definitely not be able to access the secrets of the Shuguang Society for the time being, even if they are excellent, but they can still help a lot even if they only do ordinary work.
And Orb's MS ace unit has almost been formed. The Black Heretic, True Red Holy Shield, Emerald Storm, Black Thunder, and Azure Duel captured in the battle have all been organized into the ace MS unit. The pilots of these machines have all passed through the layers. The outstanding pilots selected through layer-by-layer selection have sufficient strength above the elite level and can even be called aces.
In addition, Strike Gundam, Crimson Forbidden and Midnight Gundam also joined in. Billy, who rejoined the Orb Army, was promoted by Xiao Ran to become a major, while Mayu was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. In fact, the ace unit's The lowest pilot rank is a lieutenant, which is already considered higher than the average pilot standard of second lieutenant.
In addition to these aboriginal pilots, Xiao Ran also inserted Orb participants other than the Ashe foursome, which greatly enriched the strength of this ace MS unit. It can be said that although this ace MS unit The number of people can be considered sparse, but the combat effectiveness is one of the best. Generally, a large group of MS or even a larger number of MS can be easily defeated by this team. Xiao Ran also specially prepared an aircraft carrier for this team to serve as a base for this team on Earth. on the flagship.
As for the three Stellas, they are regarded as non-staff members of this team. They have the establishment of this ace unit but are directly under Xiao Ran. They act according to Xiao Ran's orders. If the ace MS unit needs the three of them, then Xiao Ran will also let three people temporarily join the team for support.
The ace unit also has functions such as reconnaissance intelligence and destruction behind enemy lines. It is more like a multi-functional special force than a pure combat force. In addition to the MS unit, Xiao Ran also combines Orb's intelligence system with this unit. After being combined, the first order was for this force to start investigating the librarian organization and at the same time destroy the discovered librarian strongholds.
Just dealing with the librarian is already satisfying for the participants who join this team, not to mention that when the team takes action, they may also be able to trigger other side tasks to obtain more rewards.
This unit was also given the title Silver Hand by Xiao Ran. The origin of this name was naturally that Xiao Ran copied the name of a knight order in a certain world. When it came to naming, Xiao Ran admitted that he was indeed very lacking in talent. Even giving his body a special name seemed difficult for him.
The four of Ai Xi went to the dssd universe deep development exploration agency under Xiao Ran's arrangement, and there was no trouble in the process. After Orb won the battle with United, dssd had already taken the initiative to fight with Orb. They made contact and were willing to provide Orb with a certain amount of technical support in exchange for Orb's protection. Instead, Xiao Ran sent the four of them there without letting Xiao Ran think of any other reasons.
Nowadays, it is not a secret in the world that the three major forces including Orb have strengthened their research and development of MS, and the many technologies used by DSSD will also make them targets of the alliance or zaft, plus the two Orb and dssd had cooperated before, and they believed in Orb and Xiao Ran more than they did there, and were willing to cooperate with Orb.
By this time, in addition to hoping to obtain dssd technology, Xiao Ran also really began to face up to this organization that was not in the whirlpool of war, but also had many unique technologies, and even wanted to take this organization into his own hands. , Xiao Ran is not only interested in the technology possessed by this organization, but also in its technical personnel and technical background.
As for the purpose of this organization is to develop and detect the deep universe, and in Xiao Ran's hands there is something that is enough to make them tempted, the space navigation technology from the ship group's territory, it is not impossible to achieve it with some planning This matter, but now is not the time to do it.
On the Zaft side, Durandal has been silent, as if the things he had agreed with Xiao Ran had been forgotten, and the various battles of the Minerva on the earth have also been remembered by many people within Zaft. This battleship bears the name of the goddess of victory, and the rising star of Zaft, the ace Zhen Asuka.
Except for Orb, Xiao Ran did not interfere too much with the current situation. It should be said that he basically did not interfere with the current situation. This resulted in that other places except Orb basically continued on the original track. As we advance, there are wars, death and destruction everywhere. Countless people are killed and injured every day in the war between the Union and Zaft.
It wasn't until almost a month passed that the Shuguang Society also sent Xiao Ran good news. With the full research efforts of the entire Shuguang Society, the test body of the first new mass-produced machine would soon be offline. And this news can be regarded as throwing a stone into Orb's calm level, and a little ripples began to appear.
Although it will take some time before the test machine officially rolls off the production line, Orb's senior management and Xiao Ran seem to be looking forward to it. The test machine developed using new technology is only the first version to come off the production line. Even the skeleton adopts g The frame of the series is not even equipped with PS armor, and there are no weapons and equipment that come with the body.
After all, this body is just the first test version. The purpose is just to truly test whether the body made by the new technology can be truly realized and effectively used at the practical level. It also contains some things that may not be used at all in mass production. Technology, there will be a second version, a third version, etc. to finally decide what configuration the mass production machine will be produced with.
Also because it is just a test machine, there is no solar furnace installed at all, only the interface of the solar furnace is reserved, and it is replaced with a particle tank that is supplemented by the Justice Gundam solar furnace. At the same time, just in case, the body In addition to the normal use of any function of the machine, the system of the machine does not have any parameters about the machine at all. In other words, even if the machine has an accident or is taken away, no one can get it from it. A little bit of technology.
The only way to obtain technology is to reverse-hack the body, or just stare at it without any solution. Moreover, the new energy thermonuclear energy engine of the body is also the original version made by Shuguang Society, and a remote-controlled overload device is also installed here. , once the overload program is turned on, it will cause the engine of the aircraft to explode and eventually detonate the entire aircraft.
The news that Shuguang Society's test machine was about to go offline was also quickly leaked. Although Orb captured some spies lurking in Shuguang Society, there were also many more among Orb. A mysterious visitor, and at such a time, an invitation was delivered to Xiao Ran from a Zaft military base near the Black Sea. (.)
