Chapter 6: Black Iron Ball
Feng Yu returned to the military liaison officer's office, ready to ask himself if there was anything he could do to help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a high-ranking police inspector's uniform rushed into the office first, and before he could even close the door, he began to speak.
This person Feng Yu recognizes, it is the police chief of Lanthanum Guardian L4, and he will come to the liaison in person, and it seems that he is ready to ask the military for help. Out of politeness, Feng Yu stood outside the door and did not follow in.
I heard the director say to the liaison, "Help me find out, are there any retired mobile suit pilots in Space City?" Our police firepower is completely incapable of fighting those two bus! ”
The liaison officer couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this, and realized that laughing at this time was inevitably a bit of a mockery, so he quickly stiffened his face and pointed behind the director, "Why do you need to retire, your luck is good, the one behind you is the active pilot." ”
"Pilot?" The Director half-turned around when he heard this, and finally noticed the young officer he had just met at the door. The pilot is a high-end combat power, naturally much stronger than the average pilot, but when he saw Fengyu's warrant officer rank, he was a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked, "But there is only one B in the arsenal of our police station, can it work?" ”
As the birthplace of the iron ball, the official name of the New Asian Republic is Mobile Suit B, and after the copycats of various countries, in order to distinguish them, they are named with different code names such as BU, BE, BS, etc.
This police commissioner is a complete bureaucrat, so naturally he will not use the title of iron ball, but call it Mobile Suit B, Fengyu was stunned for a while, thinking that this was some kind of high-end model, so he didn't dare to answer.
However, the military liaison officer understood the director's speaking style, so he replied for Fengyu, "No problem, this is an elite pilot who has been promoted from the iron ball pilot, has participated in several battles, and has a lot of crashes." ”
At this time, the director saw the seniority badge on Feng Yu's chest, and the four shining silver stars looked so reassuring, "That's great, what do you call this pilot?" Please come with me to the arsenal, our b has already begun to be refurbished, and it is estimated that we can go into battle now. ”
Fengyu is naturally duty-bound, Lanthanum Zen L4 is his hometown, even if the director didn't come to invite, he originally planned to take the initiative to invite Ying. "Yes, sir! I'm fine with the iron ball. ”
As the police commissioner trotted out of the liaison officer's office, they immediately headed to the arsenal located beneath the police station. Along the way, the police officers saw the commissioner leading a young officer, and naturally understood that this was their savior, and they all gave way, and looked eagerly at Fengyu's handsome space pilot's uniform.
There is only one iron ball in the Landanum L4 Space City, which was originally just used as an ornament, and it has been lying in the police arsenal for a long time to sleep, and no one thought that it would really be useful one day. At this time, Fengyu came to the arsenal, and the logistics staff of the police station were still busy cleaning up this iron ball that had never been used.
Unlike the Green Iron Ball of the Space Force, the one in the police station is painted black and has a police/logo on the chest, although the configuration is exactly the same, it looks more handsome.
While urging the logistics personnel to step up, the director turned his head and asked Fengyu, "Warrant Officer Fengyu, you are professional, is this B okay?" Do you need to provide us with any other cooperation? ”
Feng Yu glanced at the black iron ball and found that the robotic arm on its left side actually held a shield, which was probably equipped to meet the needs of the police's riot suppression work. So he had a whim, "Is there an alloy saber?" If so, attach it to the right robotic arm. ”
"Yes! Yes! I have to say that the director, who is a little bureaucratic, has a good business ability, at least he has a clear grasp of the affairs under his jurisdiction, and hurriedly ordered the logistics staff to do it.
Soon, someone took out a large long box from the nearby material storage area, took out a standard alloy saber from it, and loaded it with a black iron ball.
The alloy saber used by the humanoid mobile suit is a bit too long for an iron ball that is only six meters high, but it can still be used, and Fengyu is not picky. Without waiting for all the preparation work to be completed, he boarded the cockpit of the iron ball and turned on the machine for system self-check.
"The performance is good, but unfortunately the pulse excitation module is not installed. Forget it, you can use it. ”
He quickly completed his self-inspection, and by this time the rest of the exterior preparations had been completed, so he flew out of the vehicle access port of the arsenal in the iron ball.
While flying, he also manipulated the Iron Ball Robotic Arm to do a few basic movements, and found that its operation method was simpler than that of a humanoid mobile suit, but it was slightly less flexible.
The black iron ball flew out of the police station, and the commissioner arranged for a police car to lead him in front. Fengyu noticed that the pedestrians on the street were looking at their cars with complicated eyes, or surprised, envious, excited, or worried, and some children who did not understand the seriousness of the situation were cheering and running after the iron ball all the way.
The reporter who was waiting for the latest news at the door of the police station was even more moved, grabbed the microphone excitedly, and made a high-pitched voice into the camera, "This is the live report made by Lanxing TV for you, and what we see in the picture now is a black mobile suit!" In the 40 years since the construction of Space City, it is the first time that we have seen the police station mobilize soldiers! This shows the seriousness of the situation! We will keep you updated on further developments! ”
Subsequently, a TV station broadcast truck chased the black iron ball, but it didn't chase it far before it was stopped by the police cordon, and he could only watch Feng Yu drive the iron ball into the underground passage.
Fengyu takes a special freight passage to the "underground", which leads straight up to the clockwise airport, which is essentially a spoked elevator. It's just that compared to the spoke elevator used for passenger transportation, this spoke is particularly thick, and the carrying capacity reaches the level of 100 tons, so it is very easy to carry an iron ball weighing less than 10 tons.
The lanthanide refinery is located on the outermost part of the city of space, that is, the largest circle in the middle of the drum, with a radius of 15 kilometers. Compared to the normal gravity of the "surface" of Space City, the centrifugal force here that rotates at a fixed angular velocity reaches 3g.
As the spoke elevator descended, Feng Yu could visibly feel his body getting a lot heavier, but it wasn't a problem for him. The biggest advantage of children born in Space City compared to surface people is not a good sense of space, but a strong adaptability to gravity transformation.
A normal Landanum L4 astronaut may have to take a spoke elevator to an area only 500 meters away from the axis of Space City, take a high-speed rail train, and then reach the top of the destination, and then take the spoke elevator down to the "underground". This is a huge amplitude that goes from normal gravity to almost weightlessness to 2g or even 3g.
Therefore, weightlessness and overweight are not a problem for astronauts.
Although Feng Yu has never worked in the "underground", how could the children who grew up in Space City not go to the "underground" industrial area to "explore". He is not worried about his body's endurance, but is worried about whether the iron ball will perform abnormally under 3g gravity. As his height continued to drop, he began a series of exercises in the spacious elevator to adapt to the gradual slowing of the iron ball.
As the spoke elevator landed on the outskirts of the refinery, he could clearly feel that the iron ball had become incredibly clumsy, and the bottom vector vent had to maintain a large output in order to remain floating on the ground. It might be better if you switch to a humanoid mobile suit, as it has legs to walk. But the iron ball can't do it, it can only float forward.
When levitation consumes most of the engine's output, the iron ball's ability to maneuver in other directions naturally decreases significantly. Moreover, the weight of the robotic arm and the alloy saber has also reached three times that of the original, which is also a great burden on the hydraulic system that controls the robotic arm, and the direct result is that the movement of the robotic arm has also slowed down.
However, these are not problems, since the opponent is driving the BU, the situation to face is naturally the same as him, and everyone is fighting fairly under the same conditions.
Guiding the black iron ball here, the mission of the road opening car sent by the police station is also completed. The driver told Fengyu, "Those two BUs are in the area ahead, and our police force has been completely withdrawn." The current situation there is unknown, and the other side is supposed to be carrying a small R-particle generator, the electromagnetic communication is completely ineffective, and they have destroyed most of the optical monitoring devices. We've lost our target, so it's up to you to explore. ”
After experiencing the surface battle of the dwarf planet poacher base in the K star field, Feng Yu felt that there was no big problem, so he let the road car retreat first to avoid being affected by the next battle, and then drove the black iron ball into the refinery area alone, while carefully covering the shield in the cockpit position.
