Lin Ao came out of the hospital room on the Osiris, looking depressed. He had just gone to visit Miaohaus, but was scolded by Bart for his previous disobedience, and asked him to clean the toilet.

Lin Ao entered the toilet, took out a mop and bucket, and reluctantly began to clean.

At this time, the ship began to broadcast, and it was for Lin Ao to go to the hangar. Lin Ao pretended not to hear and continued to sweep the toilet.

The radio was repeated several times, but Lin Ao was holding his breath and did not hear it until the toilet door was opened by Sergeant Anton. Anton seemed to have run several laps, panting and angry.

"Didn't you kid hear you on the radio?! I've been running for you for a long time! ”

"Corporal Bart asked me to clean the toilet, and I didn't dare to go out until I finished cleaning."

Lin Ao's attitude was obviously not satisfied with Bart asking him to clean the toilet, and now the Osiris was docked in the port of Istanbul. Although there was still a lot of repair work to be done, with the help of NEU, Captain Shepard allowed everyone to take turns off the boat and go to Istanbul while he was cleaning the toilets.

Anton didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he dragged Lin Ao out without saying a word, and didn't say why.

"I'll go myself! What's going on? ”

"Someone in Istanbul has given you a 'gift'."

"Gifts? Wine again? ”

"Have you become an alcoholic? It's the new equipment of the second machine! ”

Anton's words are true, as soon as the Osiris docked at the port of Istanbul, he received a message from the local Moore Chamber of Commerce, saying that the Chamber of Commerce had a batch of equipment from the universe to be sent to the Osiris, all of which were equipment for the second machine. But it must be the driver to sign for it, so the broadcast will just look for Lin Ao.

The two arrived at the hangar, where Armstrong technicians were helping Moore Chamber of Commerce employees unload their new equipment from trucks.

"The relief... Is it serious?! ”

Seeing the new equipment sent by the Moore Chamber of Commerce, Anton was furious. Growing up in the universe, he almost forgot that the Osiris was on Earth now, and habitually had to jump over the guardrail on the second floor, and if he did, he could go to the hospital room to accompany Miao Haos.

There were two pieces of equipment sent by the Moore Chamber of Commerce, both of which were huge: one was a long-handled battle axe as tall as the second machine, and the other was a rectangular shield that could almost cover the entire body of the second machine. And what angered Sergeant Anton was the relief decoration of the three-headed eagle on the shield.

Anton ran down menacingly: "You guys explain to me, why that shield has the three-headed eagle logo of HEL?" Don't you know that we are hostile to HER?! ”

A tall, thin man with glasses stood up: "I'm really sorry, because the second machine was originally meant to be given to the HER, so it will have their three-headed eagle logo." ”

"I know it's a sign of HER, why don't you take it off before you send it?"

"Because the deadline is too rushed... As soon as these two pieces of equipment left the factory, they were shipped down from the universe. ”

Anton was about to have a seizure, but his shoulder was held down by Captain Shepard, who appeared behind him.

"Anton, don't get too excited. The Moore Chamber of Commerce gave us these equipment, which is equivalent to supporting us in the fight against the HER, and there will be no other meaning. ”

The representative of the chamber of commerce wearing glasses said embarrassedly: "But I still hope that the people on your ship will not spread the word that the Moore Chamber of Commerce has sent weapons to the Osiris, because we are still doing business with HER..."

"Humph! You businessmen, opportunistic. ”

Shepard signaled Anton to calm down, and he asked the Chamber of Commerce representative: "I have a doubt, these two pieces of equipment are made in the universe, why do you bother to transport them from the universe to us, is it really just to fund the Osiris against HER?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I know that there is still equipment for the second machine in production."

"You're so interested in the 'Ten Swords'? If it is sent out, new equipment will be developed. ”

"No, no, no, only the second machine is like this. I can't say too much about it, but I can tell you that the 'Ten Swords' were not produced in one batch. At present, the 8th, 9th, and 10th units have not been completed, and the 3rd to 7th units have been prepared when they leave the factory. There is only the second machine, and many of the weapons in the original plan have not yet finished development, and even the laser rifle and laser knife equipped with the second machine now belong to the first machine responsible for testing the basic technology of the entire series, and in order to catch up with the date, the second machine was equipped. ”

"Why is that? Is Unit 2 special? ”

"No, in fact, in the entire 'Ten Swords' series, the second machine is the most ordinary, because it basically follows the technology of the first machine, and each one has its own characteristics from the third machine onwards. But the difficulty of the second machine is that it has a large number of laser melee weapons, and although we have developed the laser saber, we are not proficient in this technology, and it is difficult to keep the laser in a certain form. ”

"Speaking of which, we have encountered NEU's No. 4 before, which is a transformable humanoid weapon, which is not the same as Captain No. 2. Listen to what you mean, almost every one of the 'Ten Swords' has its own characteristics. To put it bluntly, humanoid weapons are weapons, so why bother with it? ”

"Because the Chamber of Commerce is also developing humanoid weapons for the first time, the people above hope that each of the 'Ten Swords' can test different technologies, and the second machine is responsible for the scalability test of laser melee weapons."

Shepard touched his beard: "In other words, your chamber of commerce gave the new mechs developed to the major forces, hoping that they would test the new weapon technology for you in actual combat?" ”

"I don't know this, I'm just a small clerk in the R&D department, coming to Istanbul to deliver goods and visit relatives by the way. By the way, which is the pilot of the No. 2 plane, please sign for it. ”

Lin Ao stood up, and the representative of the Chamber of Commerce saw that he was the driver of the second machine, and called a middle-aged man with glasses.

"Deputy Director, the pilot of the second machine is here, do you want to take a look?"

"Deputy Director, is it the deputy director of your R&D department?" Anton asked.

"Yes, he's Phillips. Dr. Hohenheim, Deputy Director of our R&D Department. ”

A somewhat decadent middle-aged man with blond hair walked over, and he had just been looking at the second machine. From the moment he got on the boat, his expression was melancholy, as if he had something on his mind.

"Who is the pilot of the second plane?"

"Deputy Director, this teenager is."

The Chamber of Commerce representative pointed to Lin Ao, and Dr. Hohenheim walked up to Lin Ao and lowered his head to look closely at Lin Ao's face, which was so close that it was almost close to Lin Ao.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Lin Ao asked.

“… How did the shoulder of the second machine get like that? ”

The last time I faced off with HER's Captain Caroline, the shoulder of the second plane that was blown up by a missile was deformed, and it has not been repaired yet. Lin Ao scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

"This... This one... It's the missile handle..."

Lin Ao thought that Dr. Hohenheim was angry that he had damaged the body he had developed, but Dr. Hornheim didn't seem to care about the answer to this question, and was still looking at Lin Ao, who was furious by him.

"You're not a woman, are you?"

"I'm a man..."

"How old are you?"

"18 years old, almost 19!"

"You are not more than twenty years old, from the second to the seventh pilot, the people of various forces have really done what they are asked to do..."

Anton didn't know what this Dr. Hohenheim was up to, and couldn't help but ask, "What are the requirements you are talking about?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the Chamber of Commerce requires the power of the 'Ten Swords' to be accepted, and the selected drivers must not be more than 20 years old."

"Why is that?"

Dr. Hohenheim shrugged: "I don't know, I'm also puzzled by this rule, I thought the pilot of the stolen No. 2 would be an exception, so I came along to take a look." ”

"Did you come to Earth specifically for this kind of thing..."

"That's right, thank you for not letting Unit 2 become a knife in HER's hands. Don, it's time for us to leave when the things are delivered. ”

"Wait a minute, Deputy Director, I haven't introduced these pieces of equipment to the Osiris yet."

"Then you can introduce it, I'll go back to the car and sleep first."

Dr. Hohenheim was gone, and the Chamber of Commerce representative coughed and began to introduce the two pieces of equipment given to the Osiris, pointing to the shield first.

"This shield is called 'Iron Will', and it is the special shield of the second machine. Considering the ease of maintenance, there is no special technology for this shield. If there is any battle damage, your technician will do the same as the usual method of repairing the armor of a humanoid weapon. ”

"And what about the three-headed eagle relief on it?"

"I'm sorry, we can't help this, please solve it yourself, we have to rush back to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to report."

Anton looked unhappy, but didn't say anything more.

"And then there's this tomahawk."

The Chamber of Commerce representative pointed to the long-handled battle axe, which was as tall as the second machine.

"Its name is 'Sacrificial Blood Fiend', and it's a laser battle axe with a laser axe blade that can be used to destroy a ship's bridge with a single axe. The handle of the axe has a telescopic structure, and when not in use, it can be stowed behind the second unit or on the inside of the shield just now. If desired, the weapon can also be activated in the short-handled state. ”

"Laser axe blade... How, exactly? ”

"Trade Secrets."

"Hmm... But why did you name these two pieces of equipment? It's just two accessories. ”

"These names are chosen by the employees of the development department, and they will choose the names according to their preferences, which can be regarded as a kind of adjustment when working."

"What do you think of developing weapons? Games? ”

"Or else? Calling them just letters and numbers is formal? ”

The representative of the Chamber of Commerce took out the document and asked Lin Ao to sign for it, and Lin Ao pointed to a line on the document and said:

"What is this, why is it written that I am asked to sign for the 'murderous' set of equipment..."

The representative of the Chamber of Commerce scratched his head: "Alas, this is the name given by the person responsible for designing this equipment, because I didn't want to mention it because Taizhong Er..."

Lin Ao signed for the shield and tomahawk of the second machine, and as for the names that the representative of the Chamber of Commerce said just now, he didn't remember any of them.

Anton saw that the signing was finally completed, and shouted in the loudest voice: "What about the old man? Where did he go again? Quickly let him lead someone to remove the three-headed eagle relief from the shield, the eagle doesn't need to have three heads! ”
