"Haha, all this has passed. Besides, how old you were at that time. After experiencing so many sad things, it's normal to have some extreme thoughts. I don't think anyone really blamed you at that time, and neither did I. , but now that you have become like this after two years, it really makes me happy, gentle, and intellectually mature a lot."
Xiao Ran smiled and waved his hand, and then asked strangely: "But, why are you in Shuguang Club?"
"Teacher, have you forgotten that I was also a student at the University of Technology at the time?" Fleur covered her mouth and smiled softly, and was extremely happy with the closeness expressed by Xiao Ran. At the time of the Archangel, Xiao Ran could be said to be one of their group of students. The only person we can rely on is also the closest person. Although Fleur also knew that at that time, she might have made Xiao Ran dissatisfied and did something wrong, but when she saw Xiao Ran, she was still as gentle as before. My attitude toward myself is similar to before, and I feel quite happy.
"I calmed down for a while after the war. I didn't want to see war again and the army wasn't a suitable place for me, so I asked Sister Baji Lulu to help me enter the Shuguang Society. At least I don't have to rely on others to work here, and I can let others If I really calm down and learn more, I can still do my best for Orb and everyone here."
"Yes, yes. Having such thoughts proves that you have really changed." Xiao Ran could hear Fleur say such words, and truly felt the sharp change in Fleur's thoughts, and Fleur could be regarded as returning to Austria. He was the first 'student' he saw after the wedding. He couldn't help but talk a little more: "So how have you been in the past two years? You are now more beautiful. There must be a lot of boys pursuing you."
Perhaps because she heard Xiao Ran praising herself, or perhaps because of other reasons, Fleur's face turned rosy, a little embarrassed, and said with a hint of shyness: "Teacher, what are you talking about? I don't have any boys pursuing me." , besides, I don’t need other boys to pursue me. After the war, I have been living together with Kira and Lux, and we have taken care of the orphans together. Our life has been very fulfilling, and I have learned a lot from Lux. Things, and then I worked and studied in Shuguang Society, and I had a great time every day, but Kira’s side sometimes made people a little depressed.”
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment after hearing Fleur's words. Xiao Ran seemed to hear a lot of things from Fleur's words. For example, she had been living with Lux and Kira, and then she was even more shy and embarrassed when she mentioned Kira. The expression, the faint happiness, and what she said sometimes Kira makes him feel depressed, and this sometimes should represent some times in a long time, the meaning contained in it can't help but make Xiao Ran I felt a bit stunned.
"Have you always been with Kira and Lux? Then what is your relationship?" Although Xiao Ran wanted to ask this question, but in the end he resisted asking. In fact, even if he didn't need to ask, Xiao Ran could Fleur got the answer from her expression. Kira, Lux, and Fleur should have been living together for the past two years, and Kira and Fleur also had a very deep relationship, at least when it happened. After everything has happened, there should be no pressure on the two of them.
As for Lux, although Xiao Ran didn't know what the thoughts and situation were, Lux probably had no objections, otherwise how could the three of them have been able to live together for such a long time, and Fleur's face looked happy. It shows that there should be no contradictions among the three of them, just like Aslan, Meiling and Cagalli in the original plot. Xiao Ran can only give Kira a thumbs up in his heart, but He completely failed to consider the great influence he had on Kira and the role his bad taste played in it.
After talking to Frey, Director Simonds finally finished his business and came to the reception room. When Frey saw Director Simonds, she also stood up and said hello to Director Simonds, who also smiled slightly. He responded with a smile and then said: "I heard that Fleur was your student before, but I didn't expect that the relationship between your teacher and students is very good."
"Ha, of course, I treat them all as my juniors. I have to ask you to come over after a tiring day. Fortunately." Xiao Ran smiled slightly and asked: "I also want to ask you when I stay. The test machine has been released, so how long will it take to officially start mass production, to what extent can Orb's current reserves of materials support it, and what is the official configuration of the mass-produced machine."
When talking about business, Director Simonds also became serious, and Xiao Ran had no intention of guarding against Fleur, so Simonds would not be a villain in vain. After sitting down with Frey, he began to say to Xiao Ran: "The test machine needs A week of detailed testing was carried out, but I already had preliminary ideas about the formal configuration of the mass-produced machine before. With the current technical level of Orb in terms of sag energy conversion armor, it is not a problem to achieve full coverage on the mass-produced machine. , this armor is more a limitation of the technology itself. With technology, it is not difficult to achieve this. Once it is covered on a large scale, the cost will be reduced a lot, and it is more suitable to be used on mass-produced machines than PS armor."
"However, in order to achieve real mass production of thermonuclear energy engines, it will take at least three months to replace and improve existing equipment, and there is still a huge gap in important core materials and supplies, even if all is spent Orb's current reserves can only produce more than a hundred at most, which is not enough to fully equip an entire fleet."
"Furthermore, sag energy conversion armor also requires a large energy supply. Based on the current battery energy, once the sag energy conversion armor is covered, the sustainability of MS combat will also be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to cover this armor. Thermonuclear energy engines are a must.”
"In addition, according to your wishes, all the interfaces of the gn dragoon will be left on the body, and the interface for installing the gn particle storage tank will be left. For this reason, the frame of the mass-produced machine must be redesigned and manufactured, and the gn particle conversion function must also be present. The passage with particles will also take some time to complete, but because Test Machine No. 1 has solved many of the problems, this time should not be too long."
"Based on cost and speed considerations, the body only needs to have Murasame's deformation function, particle storage tank, and sag energy conversion armor. After being equipped with a thermonuclear energy engine, the performance will be improved to a very large extent. Besides, the mass production machine emphasizes The most important thing is versatility, so there is no need to add too many other things. In terms of armament, you can use standard configuration or equip it with different weapons. This alone is enough."
"The second configuration is to abandon the use of thermonuclear energy engines, use Orb to develop the latest high-energy battery pack, and increase the total amount of energy in the form of a backpack. However, if the mass-produced machine emphasizes deformation, the cost will be It’s going to be very expensive.”
"No matter which way it is carried out, it will take two months to officially start mass production even if we seize the time. Given Shuguang Society's current capabilities, and the material reserves can only produce a maximum of 300 new machines. , It will not play a fundamental role in the war situation of the entire world, but it can at least give us an overwhelming advantage in a key battle."
Xiao Ran nodded. He finally understood the meaning of Simmonds' words, that is, there are not enough manpower and materials. If there are enough manpower and materials, more equipment can be mass-produced much faster. Production The speed will also increase exponentially, and more bodies can be produced.
Xiao Ran pondered while thinking in his mind, and soon he said: "Don't worry about the consumption of materials. It doesn't matter even if all the reserves are consumed. In terms of manpower, we can ask the people from the Waste Merchants Guild to help us with some preliminary work." We can speed up preparations before mass production, and we can also purchase or borrow supplies from them to replenish them.”
"At the same time, I will also get a batch of supplies from the United Nations and PNT in other aspects. Once the cooperation with Zaft starts, we will also have ways to get more supplies to supplement it. In addition, there are also some neutral countries. Do you have the idea of cooperating with us? The Mars delegation has also established a cooperative relationship with us. As long as we give them certain guarantees, we should also be able to get some support in terms of materials."
As he said that, Xiao Ran also touched the report of Bucky Lulu that he had put down because of Fleur's arrival, and said: "I think you should also know about the last words. During the process of the Lord Angel's contact with the United Archangel and Cagalli ran out to cause trouble again. In desperation, Mu and Baji Lulu released the last words. It seemed that the former Kazakh patriarch recognized the entrustment entrusted to me by Orb. I want to be with heaven. Let’s talk with them and let them return to Orb, so that all the technical personnel taken away by the Kazakh family can be replenished to the Shuguang Society, and at the same time, a lot of material supplies will be obtained.”
As Xiao Ran spoke, Director Simonds also nodded. When Fleur listened to Xiao Ran's simple solution, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Ran with admiration. This kind of admiration was very simple, just like It's the kind of admiration a daughter would have for her father.
"Finally, I suggest that the two options you just mentioned should be adopted at the same time. It doesn't matter whether it transforms or not. The transformation mode of the Savior Gundam backpack can be your reference. In fact, it is not very technical. The big problem is the size of the project and the amount of materials consumed.” (.)
