In the distance, an open-top sedan is approaching along the Beltway.

At the wheel of the convertible sedan was a young man with sunglasses. Although his face was partially obscured by sunglasses, it could still be seen from the handsome silhouette that the young man had a appearance that could fascinate many fans. In the passenger seat was an extremely burly man who looked like a humanoid brown bear. He seemed to be uncomfortable with the cramped passenger seat, after all, compared to the normal size of the passenger seat, his almost mountain-like figure was barely enough to sit on.

The highway exit is right in front of you.

The young man behind the wheel pulled the sedan into the fork in the exit and looked out of the corner of his eye at the humanoid bear that was silently huddled in the passenger seat. "I'm sorry! In a moment's hurry. I should have found a more spacious car. ”

Sitting on the door with a wide palm, the strong man shook his head, indicating that it was okay. "Nothing. Don't care. Lockon. ”

"Really?" Lockon retracted his gaze and smiled, "Then, I'm relieved." It's time to get to the research center. ”

"Hmm." The strong man nodded.

Not long ago, taking advantage of his free time, Lockon, who came to the first central city on Planet GALLIA4 to spend time, was called by a message from He inexplicably before he had time to choose a pastime. He was accompanied by Akihiro, who was greeted from the airport afterwards. After a brief exchange of information between the two of them, a rough outline was constructed.

Retrofit program.

This is a plan to successfully complete the mission of the next mission world.

For his own Force Angel Gundam, Lok Ang felt that he was not so urgent to transform. After all, he had already learned from the message he had sent inexplicably that the next mission world was his hometown, up to the 00 world. As an elite fourth pilot of the Celestials, Lockon naturally does not worry about his exclusive mechilage being left behind by the Celestials.

Akihiro is the opposite. Although Akihiro had not been part of Ho's team for a long time, Lockon had already learned about the taciturn strong man and the combat power of his exclusive mech, as well as their limitations.

Due to the distorted technology tree in the world of Gundam Barbatos, although they also have the title of Gundam, their mechs are still mainly live-fire weapons, supplemented by melee combat, and even some mechs are mainly melee and supplemented by live-fire weapons. And in Lockon's memory, the short man of the Tiehua Regiment, Sanriyue, was like this. For him, shooting is nothing more than a diversion attack, and the most lethal means is to pick up that mace and smash the enemy to pieces.

"What an arrogant style!" As he drove the car, Lockon recalled information about Akihiro and them. "That's right. Akihiro. What is the situation in the defense zone? I heard those cute little girls say it seems terrible. ”

Hearing this, Zhaohong was silent for a moment, raised his head, and responded to the blowing wind: "Probably." Maybe it's bad. As a newcomer, Zhaohong did not follow He inexplicably into the mission world for the first time, but chose to go to the dangerous and unknown defense area, and worked hard to resurrect Rafda. However, these efforts were also temporarily put on hold with the arrival of that rumor.

"Really?" Lockon keenly sensed the change in Akihiro, even though there was no expression on Akihiro's big face. "Oh, here we are. Akihiro, you're liberated. ”

The sedan quickly stepped off the highway and onto the general road leading to the research center, driven smoothly by Lockon.

Soon, under the leadership of the staff who welcomed the arrival of Lok Ang and Akihiro, it didn't take long for the two to arrive at the first laboratory of the research center. Here, He Moming and King Kong have been waiting for a long time, and they are waiting here with Xiangyue Xihu, the development director. Behind the trio was a half-open steel gate.

"Well, it's pretty fast." He inexplicably looked left and right at Lockon and Zhaohong, and nodded. "So, let's get started! Director Xiangyue. ”

"Okay. Please come with me. Xiang Yuexi didn't talk nonsense, and directly led everyone to turn around and walk into the gate behind her.

As everyone entered, the lights installed on the top of the aisles were turned on one by one.

In the bright light, two huge mechs painted in dark green and brown stood silently side by side on the maintenance rack on the left-hand side.

"Power Angel Gundam."

"Gusin."

Lockon and Akihiro said the names of the two planes in front of them at the same time, and it was obvious that the body placed in front of them was their long-standing companion.

"Hmm." He nodded inexplicably, looked back at the two of them and said, "I believe you also have a rough guess." That's right. Now it's a slightly larger modification plan to prepare for the next mission. The Force Angel Gundam, Gusin Gundam, Stamen Gundam, Dino and even my Phoenix Gundam had to be modified for the next mission. ”

"I see." Zhao Hong agreed very simply.

On the contrary, Lockon seems to have some problems. For what Locoon was thinking, He inexplicably naturally had a certain understanding.

"Lockon. Come over here. After inexplicably saying hello to King Kong and Xiang Yuexihu, He took Lok Ang to the corner. Lockon. Do you think that the Celestials will provide you with a new type of body? ”

Lockon nodded. "Isn't that a matter of course? I didn't die. ”

He inexplicably smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said slowly: "Lok Ang." Do you know how long it will take for us to travel back and forth between several mission worlds this time? ”

Lockon was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a moment. You must know that he has never had much concept of this aspect, especially after seeing the anti-heaven power of the extradimensional fortress, Lockon did not feel that after entering and leaving the world of multiple missions, it would be equivalent to how long the world of Gundam 00 had passed. After all, the first mission world he entered was Macross Fortress F, and after he entered, the legends left by He Moming and Lin Mingmei fifty years ago proved the possibility of the Supermicro Fortress transcending time.

"Well, I think it's going to be a year or two, right?" Speaking of which, Lockon himself was not too sure.

"Four years. At least four years have passed. Lockon. Although in VEDA's classified documents, you and Lisa have temporarily disappeared from human society based on a classified mission. But don't forget. The threat to the celestials has not subsided. On the contrary, it will be more severe. Therefore..." Speaking of which, He inexplicably stopped talking. For he knew that Elok's mind would surely be able to think of the question that was to be dealt with below.

Sure enough, Lockon quickly figured out what He was trying to convey inexplicably. "Really? Except for the Ptolemy and the Instant who know where we are going, in the database of the Celestials, Miss Huang and I should be in MIA status, right? ”

"Perhaps. So, Lok Ang, are you still hesitating about whether the Angel Gundam should be transformed? He inexplicably looked at Locoon, who had already figured everything out, and said.

"Nope. I have no opinion. Quite simply, Lockon naturally accepted this explanation.

So, after taking a brief look at the rearmament of the Power Angel Gundam and the Gushin Gundam, the group arrived at the control center located on the edge of the Ganakul. Here, there is already a mature technology research and development team waiting for their arrival.

"This is the technical team that I brought out by hand during this time. Although I am not very satisfied, it can still be used after all. Xiang Yuexi pointed to the scientific researchers who stood up from their seats one by one and greeted He inexplicably.

After inexplicably raising his hand in greeting, he said, "Let's start!" ”

"Hmm."

The first to start is the Power Angel Gundam.

According to Lokon's initial vision, the Force Angel Gundam is now positioned as long-range sniping and fire support. In his opinion, long-range sniping is basically enough except for the distance and almost fire. However, this point was inexplicably vetoed by Ho.

Because in He Mo's opinion, the long-range sniping ability of the Force Angel Gundam is too precedent, and the target it can lock on in a single time is too single. It's okay when facing A-Laws, but if the enemy is replaced with a staggering number of ELS, the unity of firepower of the Power Angel Gundam is very obvious. Therefore, under the premise of this defect, fire support cannot be successfully completed.

"So, Legionnaire. Do you have any comments? Lockon looked at the demo video playing on his personal terminal and was silent for a moment before he asked.

"The long-range sniping performance of the Force Angel Gundam is undoubtedly excellent. But if it can reach all targets on the firing axis like Beam Merlin, it would be a good idea. He inexplicably said his opinion slowly.

"Beam Merlin?" After thinking about it, Xiang Yuexi proposed a plan. "Maybe we can try to install a portable particle compression device for the Force Angel Gundam."

"Particle compression?" As soon as Locoon heard the word, he immediately remembered the large device he had used to support Areluja's unauthorized rescue of the derailed satellite city. "That's too messy, isn't it?"

Xiang Yuexi smiled slightly and said confidently, "No." Lockon. The particle compression device I'm referring to isn't the one you remember. You know, although we don't have many GN solar furnaces now, we have already started using GNT solar furnaces, and up to now, we have made a number of research and breakthroughs on the characteristics of GN particles. One of these results is the particle compression device I proposed. ”

"Oh? Let's find out. Looking at the confident Xiangyue Xihu, He inexplicably became interested. You must know that in the original book, the Power Angel Gundam only used a particle compression device that can be regarded as an anti-heaven particle compression device. Although its amplification allows the Force Angel Gundam to hit targets in space with a single hit, its huge size and weight are already much more limited.

If it can really be miniaturized and portable like Xiangyue Xihu, it is indeed a way to increase the combat power of the Angel Gundam.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuexi raised her hand and looked at the history table on her personal terminal, and said, "It just so happens that there is a test item on a portable particle compression device today. Your Excellency, let's move to the testing ground! ”

"Hmm." He inexplicably made the final decision.
