With the order of the commander of the Kimek Escort Team, a moment later, a purple laser beam shot out from the Space City of the Kimek Cultivation Base in L5, pointing directly at the direction of the L4 base. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this era, ultra-long-distance fixed-point optical communication within the stellar domain is carried out by lasers. Then, according to the different specific conditions of each star field, different wavelengths of lasers are used. For example, the stellar spectrum here in the M320 field is red, and the visual effect is orange-red, so the most suitable for optical communication should be short-wave violet light and ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the naked eye, so as to weaken the interference of stellar light as much as possible.

In the civilian field, visible light bands are generally used for communication, while in the military, government, and other areas that require secrecy, infrared or ultraviolet light bands are used. At present, the space city of the Kimek cultivation base is in a wartime state, and it will definitely not use visible light to communicate, and it is easy to be intercepted and deciphered.

However, the light beam is deflected very slightly by the gravitational pull of the celestial body, which is very impressive at distances that are often measured in astronomical units. So the violet light they emit is not for actual communication, but for calibration. The deflection rate from the first planet L4 to L5 is determined by calibrating the beam, and then the official UV communication content is emitted.

In the bridge of the "Storm", through Luo Yunxi's spiritual power "reconnaissance", the trajectory of this calibrated beam was immediately displayed on the main monitoring screen.

At this time, a middle-aged man standing behind Captain Morgan suddenly spoke, "This is a calibrated beam, there is no substance, it was launched from L5 Space City at this time, it should be to ask for help, right?" I don't think those GMP pilots are any match for Storm. ”

This middle-aged man is a member of the investigation team brought by Captain Morgan, a psychic type awakened person, with a psychic power access intelligent microcomputer on his head, which can instantly identify and decode any optical communication within his observation range, and is an important cadre under the command of Captain Morgan of the New America Region of the Awa-Ker Intelligence Department, specializing in intelligence interception.

This time, Captain Morgan brought him to the "Tempest" to intercept the optical communication sent by the Kimek cultivation base Space City at any time. His awakening ability is even better than that of professional equipment, after all, optical communication is point-to-point, and the collection device of professional equipment cannot be effectively intercepted if it is not placed on the transmission route of optical communication. However, the spiritual power is different, it can spread freely in space without being blocked by most environments, and it can easily intercept optical communications.

"Well, basically." Captain Morgan replied to his love.

The middle-aged man continued, "The first planet L4 is about 0.7 astronomical units away from L5, and the laser beam calibration time is 840 seconds, or 14 minutes. In other words, if the Storm doesn't end the battle within 14 minutes, the Kimek Guardian will summon reinforcements. ”

Noticing the conversation between the two, Second Officer Spencer immediately replied, "You won't be able to end the fight in 14 minutes." Now because of the large number of GMP people and the relatively dense formation, it can shoot down 4 planes in one minute. At the back, the number of opponents decreased, the formation was stretched, and with the speed of the opponent's super model, it would take a lot of effort to pursue any of them. I don't expect this battle to end for half an hour. ”

When all the pilots attacked, and Luo Yunxi focused on "reconnaissance", the first mate Merkel was sleeping again, and Spencer was the most authoritative person in the military aspect of the "Tempest".

Captain Morgan and the middle-aged man were naturally convinced of his words.

Following Spencer's line of thought, the middle-aged man continued, "If that's the case, then let's assume that the communication sent by the Kimek escort team after 14 minutes is indeed a request for help, and the L4 base is indeed in a state of readiness, and at a distance from L4 to L5, reinforcements will arrive within half an hour at most." ”

"The problem is that according to the information we have, the Kimek convoy only has 10 warships, and even if they send reinforcements, there will only be 4 warships and 6 squads. Do you think it makes sense for them to do that? Captain Morgan asked, puzzled.

Again, this question was answered by Spencer. His main job on the "Tempest" was to pick up the gaps, think from the opponent's standpoint, and make all kinds of extreme assumptions.

"Do you remember that at the end of the last century, when the Iron Ball was still in service on the battlefield, it was not carried by battleships, but by troop carriers. Can we assume that there are more GMP man-pilots in the L4 base, which will be carried by troop carriers and put on the battlefield? It's not impossible. ”

The so-called end of the last century, that is, when Fengyu had just joined the army, the humanoid mobile suit was carried by a battleship, and the iron ball was transported by a troop carrier, and a Lanan-class troop carrier could carry 500 iron balls.

Regarding this possibility, Captain Morgan immediately expressed his approval, and greeted Luo Yunxi, who was in a state of "reconnaissance", and asked her to tell Fengyu.

In this regard, the rational personality has a similar view to Spencer, and unless the commander of the opposing party is a rookie, he will not use the tactic of adding fuel in such a situation. To be on the safe side, it is better to assume that the other party has more GMP people. However, he also didn't believe that the Kimek Guardian could have more super models, even if it was a castrated version, the cost of each super model was staggering.

In fact, after the previous battles, the rational personality noticed that these super models of the Kimek Escort were actually a little weaker than NO's MG series. In addition to the speed and acceleration that are really fast, and the height reaches 20 meters, there are many functions that have been weakened, and if you evaluate it comprehensively, it can almost only reach the level of exclusive custom models.

For example, the long-range weapon is a 120mm Gauss gun, and this caliber obviously does not meet the real standard of the super model, that is, the level of the prototype. Shelling a genuine super model like the "Storm" with a Gauss gun of this caliber will not be possible to penetrate the 52ti super alloy armor plate even if it hits head-on at close range, and it will only be able to hit a pit at most. Even if it is only used to attack the exclusive custom model of the ace pilot, it can only be damaged, but not fallen.

The 150mm Gauss gun of the "Storm" No. 1 can only be knocked down with one shot if it hits the exclusive customized model head-on, but it is still a little not powerful enough against the super model. Only the 180mm Gauss Cannon of Unit 3 can kill any Mobile Suit in an instant, even if the opponent is a genuine Super Aircraft using the 52Ti Super Alloy Armor Plate.

In fact, the 180mm Gauss cannon is a two-handed weapon, not a shoulder weapon, and only the No. 3 freak super model without a cockpit can be used on the shoulder. Among the mobile suits in service, except for the Earth Federation's SR long-range version, which is equipped with a two-handed 180mm Gauss gun, only the "Storm" 3 has this kind of weapon.

The SR is considered to be a very practical model, and the 80mm particle beam sniper rifle and the 180mm Gauss gun are both two-handed weapons, which require a high output power of the power furnace. If the SR does not have enough output, it will have the problem of insufficient maneuverability when firing, and it can easily become a live target for the opponent's attack.

The "Storm" No. 3 machine canceled the cockpit in favor of a more powerful power furnace and engine, and there was no problem at all with the use of a 180mm Gauss gun, even if it was placed on the shoulder. The muzzle cross-sectional area of the 180mm Gauss gun was more than twice that of the 120mm, and anyone who saw the No. 3 was shocked by the huge barrel that could fit a human head on its shoulder.

In addition to the caliber of long-range weapons, the mobile suit of the Kimek Escort Force is almost only up to the standard of the prototype in terms of physical agility and maneuverability, and is a full two grades away from the super model, which is probably designed to adapt to the personal abilities of GMP people.

Fengyu believes that although Kimek's mobile suit is inferior to NO's MG series in terms of performance, it is more reasonable. First of all, the processing difficulty is reduced, and the cost is also reduced, and the cost of one MG is enough to build five Kimec models. What's more, after reducing the agility and maneuverability of the mobile suit, it will become easier for pilots who are not very capable of doing it personally.

Unlike mg-wisdom, the performance is really good, but the problem is that Fols can't fully control it until now, and has to rely on a lot of one-button operations to replace his own manual control. In Fengyu's opinion, with the talent of Furs, I am afraid that he will never be able to use this super model as commanded.

On the other hand, the GMP people of the Kimek escort team have quite good control over their cars, which is obviously related to the design of the model. Although the performance of this unknown model is significantly inferior to that of MG, these GMP people perform much better than Falls. Fengyu believes that in a one-on-one situation, Forth should not be able to defeat these GMP pilots of the Kimek Escort.

The reason for this problem is actually very much related to the level of the military-industrial complex that designed mobile suits. UAC's military industry level is recognized as the world's first, whether it is the fourth generation of mobile suits or the third generation of jump engines, they are all pioneered by UAC's military industrial group, and other countries are just following suit.

The mobile suit of NO is provided by Xia's Seiko, and Xia's level can only be regarded as an upper-middle level in the mobile suit industry, but as the largest mobile suit supplier in the New Asian Republic, it has a relatively large influence and can become a core member of NO.

Therefore, when Xia Seiko designed mobile suits for the GMP people of NO, it was not thoughtful enough, blindly pursuing performance, and ignoring the principle that the pilot's personal ability must be adapted to the body.

Fengyu's evaluation of MG this model has only one word - too much.
