Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 80: New Dendrobium Orchid and Beacon (Please read it! Please recommend it! Please collect it!)
In the quiet void, asteroids of various sizes, ranging from more than ten kilometers in diameter to only a few meters in diameter, or even smaller, with various shapes are forming according to their original shape day after day, year after year. orbital navigation.

At a certain moment, a ray of light from far to near, passing through the void like a shooting star, shattered the silence that had been silent for a long time.

"The thermonuclear engine is operating normally!" The GN solar furnace is operating normally!Particle diffusion is normal! 』

The intelligent AI cube connected to the AI ​​system mounted on the body continuously reports various data currently monitored.

This is precious experimental data from the first flight.

Its importance can even affect the subsequent development and improvement of this aircraft, and even the determination of the final version.

"Received from the tower! Adino, are the connections between the core body and Dendrobium Orchid normal?"

Nina, who was in the tower and put the headset to her ear, asked while observing the data fed back.

"There are no abnormalities in the data of the core body and Dendrobium Orchid. However, the energy transmission rate is lower than the design value by 0.3%, and the energy synchronization rate is lower than the design value by 0.01%." 』

After a pause, the intelligent AI cube Adino continued.

“But this is an allowable error value and will not affect the subsequent flight test. 』

"learn!"

Nina is naturally aware of Adino's existence.

What's more, during this period, the other personality of the intelligent AI cube, Anino, also gave Nina considerable help.

Otherwise, even with the help of the highly automated production equipment of the satellite factory, Nina and her team would not be able to complete this brand new aircraft on time, which is completely equivalent to a new life.

"Then, sir, no, Colonel He. The distance ahead is 200 meters, which is a complex "turbulence" area. If it were just stamens, it would not be a big problem. But now, Colonel, what you are driving is Dendrobium, please pay attention to keep in touch with The distance between asteroids to avoid being attracted by "turbulence"."

"understand!"

With He Ming's consent, the new organism named GP-03D Dendrobium Lan finally broke out of the shadow cast by the asteroid and appeared under the scattered light of the sun.

It was a new image that completely subverted the image of the original Dendrobium Orchid.

The original square and square image with two huge boxes on its back no longer existed at this moment.

After Nina came into contact with and understood the OTM technology in this world, her previous stereotypes about MS and MA were broken.

Therefore, Nina not only subversively redesigned the GP-03 stamens using OTM technology, but also used the same technique to redesign the GP-03D in a more subversive and exaggerated way.

Under the scattered eternal light of the sun, a huge flying-wing fighter plane with a wingspan of 60 meters, a length of 15 meters, and a maximum height of [-] meters was flying towards the coordinate point in the dense area of ​​​​the asteroid belt in front of it at high speed.

This is a brand new image of GP-03D Dendrobium, and it is also a subversive design made by Nina in order to give GP-03D Dendrobium the ability to fight in the atmosphere.

No one would have thought that Dendrobium, which was originally square and square and carried two large boxes on its back, and was nicknamed a big refrigerator by the audience, would be transformed into a flying-wing fighter by Nina.

[Machine name: GP-03D Dendrobium Orchid (contains the core body - stamens)]

[Body height: wingspan of 60 meters, body length of 15 meters, and highest point of [-] meters. 】

[Body weight: body weight 200.5 tons, total weapon weight (including GP-03 stamens) 413 tons]

[Body armor material: unknown]

[Power source of the body: 4X New Zhongzhou/Pratt & Whitney/Royce FF-2006 thermonuclear engine (when connected to the GP-03 Stamen, it can share the GN solar furnace it carries)]

[Body speed: Flying wing form: Mach 2. MA form: Mach 0.5. 】

no doubt.

Nina, who exerted her strong subjective initiative, gave GP-03D Dendrobium Orchid a brand new form, which is the bomber image that He Ming is well-known for.

Judging from the outline, it is relatively similar to the image of the B2 bomber in He Ming's memory, but upon closer inspection, you can see more differences.

For example, the micro-missile pods that are regularly arranged on the back of the flying-wing fuselage, one after another, densely occupy the entire back of the flying-wing fuselage.

As it changes to the MA form, these micro-missile pods are stacked on top of each other to form the familiar image of a refrigerator.

However, compared to the two large refrigerators in the original version, the current refrigerator appears smaller.

The firepower will not be reduced much.

After all, the missiles used by GP-03D Dendrobium at the moment are micro-missiles newly developed by the New Earth Unity, which can equip the originally large missile bay with a larger number of missiles.If He Ming is willing, he can fire a terrifying volley of at least hundreds of micro-missiles while pulling the trigger, making the enemy blocking the front feel what "fear of insufficient firepower" means.

of course.

Right now, there is no need to use such terrifying fire suppression.

Now, He Ming only needs to walk the GP-03D Dendrobium Orchid in flying wing form completely back and forth through the dense area of ​​​​the asteroid belt to complete the first flight experiment.

"yes!Owner! 』

The first flight test was completed quickly.

Just a simple flight would not trouble He Ming.

Even if he had to fly the flying-wing GP-03D into the "turbulent" area of ​​the asteroid belt, it didn't cause He Ming much trouble.

Looking at the designers holding the test data, turning around and running back to the design room to conduct data flights and prepare for the next round of testing, He Ming shrugged his shoulders and randomly found a chair to sit down.

He still has things to attend to.

[Travelable body detected: GP-03d Dendrobium Orchid (including GP-03 stamens).Register it as an exclusive machine? 】

He Ming glanced at Nina who was about to walk over, and the latter nodded knowingly, turned around and called away the people who were still here to check the machine body, leaving space for He Ming.

"The machine is in no hurry. How do we return to the fortress?"

One year has passed since the end of the first interstellar war.

If we include the follow-up test of GP-03D Dendrobium Orchid, it will probably take more than half a year.

【anytime.Your Mightiness.In addition, I suggest you set up a beacon in this world.To prepare for returning to this world again in the future. 】

He Ming raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, Wayros took the initiative to reveal a new piece of information.

[The signal beacon is not something that all pilots affiliated with the Super Dimension Fortress can use.Its use rights are limited to employees of Wanshiwu, and only members have certain qualifications.The rest of the pilots must complete necessary tasks before they can obtain permission with a limited number of uses. 】

Perhaps because he took the initiative to give out new information, Wayros told He Ming the new information about the so-called "signal beacon" in one breath.

"But I'm not considered an employee of Wanshiwu now?"

As soon as the words came out, He Ming understood.

In fact, whether or not to sign the contract the witch presented has long been irrelevant.

After he brought the egg back, in the eyes of Wayros, he was already an employee of the House of Everything.

No wonder, when she refused to sign the contract, the witch readily agreed to wait until He Ming returned from the Macross world before making a decision.

Feelings, the witch has been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Why is this witch so good at plotting against others!?"

He Ming took a slow breath, no longer thinking about the witch's plan, and continued to focus on the signal beacon's information.

"In other words, after I return to the fortress, I can return to this world at any time through the beacon?"

【No.Under normal circumstances, the beacon will enter a cooling period for a period of time after the pilot leaves the mission world.The average cooldown period will be about one fortress standard year to two fortress standard years. 】

"Is there a gap in time?"

The name of the so-called fortress standard month and fortress standard year had been learned from the witch. Therefore, he thought that there might be a time gap between this world and the fortress.

[The time gap between each world and the fortress is different.It can only be calculated based on an exchange rate of 1:10, that is, one fortress standard year is equal to ten mission world standard years. However, the actual situation will have a considerable degree of time error due to the particularity and differences of each mission world.Please don’t be too obsessed with the time gap between the mission world and the fortress. 】

Wayros said it easily. In fact, if you can't control the conversion of the time gap, the next time you return to this world, you may be in an embarrassing situation where you can't sort out the situation and control the situation in a short time! !
"Veros, it is confirmed that the unit GP-03D (including the GP-03 Stamen Gundam) is registered as an exclusive unit."

After thinking about it, He Ming finally gave up worrying about this aspect and focused on completing the GP-03D Dendrobium Orchid first.

　Finally finished!sleep!Good night!
