Chapter XXXIV: MS-102
At the edge of the Kuiper Belt at the "edge of the world", the location of the former NO military-industrial base was empty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The exploding space city turned into countless fragments and flew towards the depths of space, giving the "edge of the world" a clean and peaceful space. As for the two wounded NO battleships, they have long since escaped without a trace.
The Tropical High is the first, and perhaps the last, to be here. There are countless stellar domains in the vast sea of stars, and in a radius of 100 light years with the earth as the center, there are hundreds of stellar domains that have been developed by the Earth Federation.
Saying goodbye to the "Edge of the World", the "Tropical Pressure" left this star field, and their next stop was an industrial robot factory in the galaxy of Awa-Ker, which is also the organization's scheduled mobile suit production and research base. Fengyu will escort the MS-102 prototype there and hand it over to experts to disassemble and analyze.
Although this prototype was only obtained at this time, it will definitely not be able to catch up with UAC in terms of research and development progress, and it will not even be able to compare with other countries, but it can finally close the gap between Awa-Ker and mainstream technology. And judging from the performance of the commander of the NO military industrial base, that guy definitely did not back up the research and development data of the research institute in time, because Luo Yunxi, who had been monitoring the overall situation on the "Tropical High Pressure", did not see a high-speed ship leaving the space city.
In other words, the ideal state at present is that the research and development work of NO in the first few months has come to naught with the nuclear explosion of Space City, and considering the loss of the base and the death of the expert team, NO's mobile suit technology has been beaten back to the pre-liberation period at once.
Awa-Ker doesn't intend to be the enemy of the whole world, as long as it's enough to be a little stronger than NO.
This voyage lasted about a month, and before arriving at the destination, as the first member of the Awa-KER to come into contact with the MS-102 prototype, Lao Qiu took the initiative to open the container and take a sneak peek at what was so special about this fourth-generation mobile suit.
"Good stuff! With a height of 18 meters, the engine power is also large enough to meet the standard of exclusive customized models. I reckon it's already very close to your Mobile Suit WS. ”
"With such a fast speed, can the average pilot control it?" Fengyu's worries are not unreasonable, if it were not for the limited ability of ordinary pilots, the mass-produced mobile suit could have increased the internal volume by increasing the size and replacing the high-power engine to increase the speed.
It's just that blindly increasing the speed, firstly, the pilot's body can't stand it, and secondly, the ordinary pilots with limited levels can't control it, which will reduce the combat effectiveness. In the final analysis, there is a limit to the genius who can become an ace pilot, and there are only a few talents who can control high-end models.
Lao Qiu gave an explanation for this, "According to my detection and control system, I found that UAC added an auxiliary driving module to MS-102. I don't understand the specific principle, but the manual says that as long as the pilot sets several fixed maneuver modes in advance, it can be operated by one button through the function key in an emergency. Although it is not as good as the on-site operation of the ace pilot, it can still play a good role in the moment of crisis, which greatly enhances the battlefield survival ability of ordinary pilots. ”
"It's really a good design, it doesn't have much effect on ace pilots, and it's a lifesaver for ordinary pilots." Fengyu affirmed this.
Lao Qiu continued, "In addition, the cockpit of the MS-102 has improved load resistance and reduced the physical burden on the pilot. This is not only useful for ordinary pilots, but also for ace pilots. ”
In addition to this, the weapon system of the MS-102 has been greatly improved. Drawing on the modular design of the exclusive custom model, it can achieve flexible weapon replacement. On the weapons pylons of the containers, several new weapons are eye-catching.
The first is a few particle beam weapons that are different in appearance from the Particle Light Knife, consisting of a particle beam lance and an extended alloy metal rod topped by a particle beam initiator capable of extending a one-meter-long particle beam lance head. Believing that this design will be very popular with the Earth Federation, the Knight series of mobile suits are equipped with alloy spears, and this particle beam spear just meets their aesthetic needs.
Then there is a particle beam scythe, the principle of which is no different from that of the particle beam lance, except that the direction of the particle beam blade has been changed to horizontal, forming a different combat mode to adapt to the personal preferences and usage habits of different pilots.
In terms of long-range weapons, particle beam rifles are naturally not less, in addition to a variety of calibers of Gauss cannons, Gauss machine guns, Gauss Vulcan cannons, particle beam sniper rifles to choose from. The MS-102 also has two ordinary Vulcan cannons for melee combat in the head, this weapon has an accurate range of less than two kilometers, which is not a long-range weapon for mobile suits fighting in space, but it can be very effective in hand-to-hand combat.
In addition, there are all kinds of rockets and missiles that UAC is accustomed to, including thermal-inducted, wire-controlled, and optically guided.
The dazzling array of weapons in the container made Fengyu look excited, and he couldn't wait to detain a few and keep them for Mobile Suit WS. Of course, this is just a thought, and if he really needs it, Awa-Ker will not hesitate to equip him.
Of course, this prototype is only equipped with so many weapons because it is a prototype. When it comes to mass production, it is no longer possible to equip each ordinary pilot with multiple weapons at the same time, and there must be trade-offs. But even so, the MS-102 prototype is already a high-end aircraft at the level of exclusive custom models, which can basically meet the needs of most ace pilots.
In addition to these superficially visible changes, there must be a lot of new things about MS-102, which will require an expert to disassemble and analyze it before it can be evaluated. It's just that in this way, the technical advantage of this mobile suit and the third-generation airframe will be even greater.
Looking at this MS-102 prototype, Fengyu couldn't help but be a little worried about New Asia. Once this fourth-generation model is put into mass production, the technological suppression effect formed on the battlefield will be amazing, and the third-generation model of New Asia, MAII, will not be able to compete with it at all.
Luo Yunxi, who was on the side, saw what Feng Yu was thinking, and comforted him, "Don't think about it so much, this kind of thing is not something you can control, even if you still stay in New Asia, you can't change it." ”
