Chapter 17: The Encounter (2)
With the reconnaissance type Jiegang, the situation observed by the large observation radar was quickly transmitted to all of its own bodies. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The people of the info reconnaissance force immediately saw the specific situation ahead.
In the midst of the ruins of a colonial satellite, three Zeon warships and a transport ship are stopping at the wreckage of a colonial satellite. In the surrounding area, there are five MSs in constant flight, as if they are continuing training.
"Leave these Zeon guys alone, our priority is to get the reconnaissance data back safely." Xiahoulin reminded his subordinates not to pay attention to these enemies.
Although the opponent's strength is weaker than his own, it is not suitable to startle the snake now. This time, everyone's priority is to get back safely. Those Zeon soldiers, let them go this time.
However, Xiahoulin and the others were reluctant to clash with the Zeon army, but that didn't mean that the other party didn't think so. Because the reconnaissance type Jiegang suddenly discovered that a small Zeon reconnaissance plane was actually hiding behind a huge rock not far away. The communication signal just sent by the other party has been captured in an instant.
"It seems too late, the enemy has discovered our tracks." The pilot of the reconnaissance plane immediately reported the situation to his companions, and sure enough, the Zeon battleship in the distance reacted and quickly started to come in the direction where he was. Those MS who were practicing were the first to come
Obviously, Zeon used Xiahoulin and his party as a three-person reconnaissance team. But it is not clear that they are actually a squadron of MS troops, otherwise these MS troops would not have rushed over rashly.
"Fight quickly and destroy all the enemies." After Xiahou Lin gave the order, he took the lead in meeting the incoming enemy. Now that it's been discovered, it's time to start fighting.
In the absence of clarity to the enemy, the own side still has an advantage in the number of MS troops. As long as you act quickly, you can annihilate these incoming Zeon troops before enemy reinforcements arrive.
The Gundam piloted by Charhoulin rushed towards the incoming Zeon MS at a great speed. A high-mobility Zagu next to him was the first to destroy the small Zeon reconnaissance plane.
After seeing through the sight that the Zeon troops appeared in the effective range, Xia Houlin pulled the trigger without hesitation. As a result, the Gundam's special beam rifle quickly shot a beam of light that cut through the dark space.
The Zeon MS troops attacking on the opposite side did not expect the enemy's body on the opposite side at all, since they had beam weapons. Therefore, a captain plane of MS Zagu flying at the front has not had time to react. It was directly hit by the beam, and then it was torn apart in the explosion.
The Zeon mech, which was attacked, immediately flew away. But at this time, in the distance, a number of beams flew in succession, forcing these Zagus to continue to disperse, and distance themselves from each other.
And at this time, the Zagu of the Zeon Army will usher in a more fatal blow. A dense barrage of bullets instantly began to strafe these MS, and the speed of those incoming bullets was so fast that the driver was simply overwhelmed.
Soon these Zeon MSs were submerged in the hands of the Federation MS, under the dense barrage of electromagnetic railguns. They have turned into this area of satellite wreckage, and the white light that continues to explode.
By this time, Xiahoulin had successfully completed the task of disrupting the enemy formation, so he continued to fly towards Zeon's battleship. After dodging the incoming defensive fire, Gundam pointed his beam rifle at the Msey-class light cruiser. Three beams of light shot out in a row, instantly piercing the opponent's bridge and hull.
The beam attack caused a chain explosion that instantly reduced the Mse-class light cruiser into a ball of fire in the middle of an explosion.
Looking at the destructive power of the beam weapon on the battleship, Xia Houlin was very satisfied with this. This kind of lethality is more powerful than the electromagnetic rail gun.
Without any delay, Charhoorin piloted the Gundam again. Flew towards another Msey-class light cruiser and once again buried the ship in the explosion with a beam rifle.
At this moment, the only troops of the Zeon Army on the scene were one Msey-class light cruiser and one transport ship. This is just meat on the lips for the troops of the Federal Army.
However, just before the Gundam piloted by Xia Houlin hit the Zeon transport ship with a beam gun, an MS flew out of the transport ship in advance and narrowly escaped.
After the body quickly left the exploding transport ship, it immediately rushed towards the Gundam piloted by Xia Houlin. And the large-caliber rocket launcher was fired at the first time, and at the same time a series of bullets were also strafed, and the attack was very effective, and it was obvious that the driver was a veteran.
The Gundam piloted by Xia Houlin accelerated in an instant to avoid the incoming large-caliber rockets. At the same time, the beam rifle in his hand also pulled the trigger towards the enemy. However, the mech on the other side avoided the attack at this time. While still dodging, he fired a barrage of bullets with the machine gun in his hand to counterattack.
At this time, Xiahou Lin finally saw the true face of the enemy with the help of Gundam's locking system. The other party turned out to be an MS-09 Great Demon, a newly developed Zeon mech.
After more than half a year of war, Zeon's research and development of the new mech has not been interrupted. The MS-09 Demon that is now fighting with Xiahoulin is the latest research result.
This MS, known as the Great Demon, was originally used in ground warfare. It has thicker armor and nimble mobility than the MS06 Zagu, making it a very practical mech.
What is here at the moment is a pre-production machine, in order to collect experimental data. These heavily armored airframes will be transformed into airframes for space warfare to provide strong combat effectiveness for the troops.
Because of the major gap between Zeon and the Federation in national strength, they decided on their combat direction, relying on a small number of high-quality advanced airframes to counter the absolute numerical superiority of the Federation Army.
This tactic is very similar to that of Nazi Germany's armored forces against the Soviet Union and the Allies during World War II. Relying on the qualitative superiority of the Tiger tank, against the enemy's armored torrent.
In fact, another reason is the performance of the new body Jiegang that appeared in the Federal Army in the offensive and defensive battle of Luna 2 in early June. As a result, Zeon began to speed up the development and investment of new mechs in order to once again take the lead in MS in battle.
As a result, the MS09 experiment was advanced, and today is the environmental test of this advanced mass production machine.
"The Great Demon has appeared here. Not bad, an excellent trophy. After saying this, Xia Houlin controlled the Gundam and suddenly put away the beam gun in his hand, directly pulled out a beam sword, and rushed towards the big demon.
Relying on his physical fitness, Xia Houlin brought out the extreme speed of the gundam. And constantly made thrilling evasion moves at high speed, avoiding the rockets shot by the big demon on the opposite side.
At this time, the last Msey-class light cruiser at the scene was also bombarded by two large-caliber rocket launchers used by Jiegang, and turned into an exploding flame.
A large battleship, having lost the cover of the MS, is simply a target in front of the enemy MS.
After seeing Xiahoulin rushing over in a Gundam, it was obvious that the Great Demon was not equipped with a melee weapon. So it kept firing with the machine gun in its hand, and directly met it, preparing to defeat the new body of the Federation Army with a defeat and defeat.
But what the Zeon pilot didn't expect was that the bullets fired from the 90 mm caliber Zaku machine gun in the hands of the Great Demon did not penetrate the opponent's armor, but only hit a few sparks on the enemy's body.
And this momentary error of judgment can already determine the outcome of the battle in battle. The Gundam piloted by Xia Houlin, the beam sword in his hand, instantly pierced through the cockpit of the Great Demon and killed the pilot world.
Gundam immediately put away the beam sword, and the big demon suddenly stopped moving because the cockpit was pierced, and just floated.
At this time, there were no more enemies around, and the reconnaissance type Jiegang in the distance had already issued an order to return immediately.
"Two of you, help me bring this Zeon's new mech back." While giving the order, Xiahou Lin drove the Gundam to carry the Great Demon and flew into the distance.
This is a good trophy, and I believe that if you hand over to the Meteor Research Institute, the above technology will be of some help to the development of new mechs.
The two high-mobility Zagus, who received the order, soon flew over. Carrying the Great Demon with Gundam, he quickly left the area and disappeared into the complex colony of colonies.
Half an hour later, when Zeon's nearest patrol hurried to the scene, they were greeted only by a pile of floating ruins.
On July 1, after successfully returning to the colonial satellite Atlantis, the MS-09 Great Demon brought back by Xia Houlin and his entourage immediately attracted great attention from the military.
The Meteor Research Institute immediately began to work on the new Zeon mech, and was amazed by the excellent performance of the Gundam in this battle.
As a result, a research team with Akizuki as the core was quickly established, preparing to focus on the data of the Gundam No. 1 machine. Based on the combination of the materials in his possession and the newly captured Greatdemon, he began to develop a new Gundam mech with space warfare at its core.
This plan was quickly approved by the headquarters of the Federal Army, and in fact, the research institutes of the Federal Army all over the earth are carrying out research and development work on the Gundam airframe.
It's just that the Seventh Fleet is the first place to get actual combat data, so the Federation Army has paid a lot of attention to this place again.
In the month that followed, the battle in the geosphere became more brutal and fierce than in the universe. The Federation Army, with the new MS units with the Marine Combat Jiegang and Steel Cannon and Wolf Fighting as the core, began to be used on a large scale in ground warfare for the first time.
With the mission at the heart of the mission to recapture North America, which had recently been invaded by Zeon, the Federal MS forces and Zeon's MS forces engaged in the first large-scale MS ground battle.
During the five-day fierce battle, hundreds of MSs of various types and other weapons were invested. The new MS unit of the Federal Army showed amazing combat effectiveness in battle.
The steel cannon equipped with a large-caliber electromagnetic cannon is replaced with medium-distance fire support, and the wolf tank produced by the federal army is suppressed by the distant electromagnetic cannon fire of the steel tank, and then cooperates with the advance of Jiegang. The MS units of the Zeon Army simply could not withstand such a blow, and the defense line was quickly broken through.
Such a result, in addition to the sudden appearance of the MS units of the Federal Army. The rest is the weapons used by the Federation Army, and the lethality of the small electromagnetic railgun is obviously much greater than that of the machine gun used by the Zeon MS.
As a result, in mid-July, the Zeon forces in North America were completely routed and wiped out by the strong superiority of the Union Army.
After seeing the combat effectiveness of the MS unit of the Federal Army, Zeon immediately accelerated the mass production and investment of the new MS. As a result, compared to the time in the original history, MS09 was mass-produced at the low of July. More than half of them were sent to the Zeon Army ground forces in Eurasia and Africa.
Subsequently, some other Zeon developed mechs were also successively put into various battlefields in the earth's sphere. For a time, the Ph.D. between the MS troops on both sides has become more and more intense.
Based on the data obtained by the Seventh Fleet's continuous combat with the Gundam, the Federation produced five more Gundam airframes, and carried out research and development in different directions based on these airframes.
At the same time, twenty high-performance Marine Gundam production machines were produced by the Federal Army at any cost, and then distributed to the Geosphere for use by the army's elite squads.
With the help of Jiegang's data, the new mass-produced Jim was mass-produced and modulated according to the earth's gravity environment. Subsequently, it quickly replaced Jiegang and became the mass production airframe of the ground forces of the Federal Army, and began to arm the army on a large scale.
At the same time, in terms of space, the performance of the Jiegang type of body is very good. Therefore, this kind of airframe mass-produced by Luna 2 has become the standard configuration of the fleet.
The time slowly came to August, and the Federation Army continued to send newly developed warships from the Chabro base to the space orbit, and then used the Luna-2 as a base to reorganize the space fleet.
In the previous months, the Seventh Fleet, which had appeared in the past, was once again replenished with warships. Twelve warships of various types, including a Pegasus-class MS raider, arrived at Atlantis.
At this point, the number of warships of the Seventh Fleet had reached thirty-three, and it had become a powerful fleet capable of launching a frontal offensive against the Zeon fleet on its own.
In the face of the increasingly fierce counterattack of the Federation Army, Zeon also responded accordingly. Research on various experimental mechs and MAs is ongoing, and some new weapons that should have been put on the battlefield months later in history have appeared on the battlefield in advance.
In a branch laboratory of the Flanagon Institute in Zeon, a research project on human enhancement is underway at the moment. Although the research institute is mainly for the study of new humans, it has not given up on the study of augmentation.
In a laboratory, a white-haired girl was being put on some kind of equipment on her head by the personnel of the research institute at the moment and began a new round of testing.
Soon, with the continuous activity of the girl's brain waves, a series of data signals appeared on the screen. Immediately after that, the simulated mobile suit reaction data on the screen began to be displayed rapidly.
Looking at the columns of data in front of him, Dr. Itokai, who was in charge of the study, smiled excitedly. This computer-aided technology to improve the pilot's judgment and reaction speed seems to be a step closer to success.
Unlike other research institutes, Dr. Ito's research focuses on soldiers who have strengthened their bodies. Then, with the human-machine link technology provided by Zeon's most talented scientist, Dr. Laxis, as the core, a new device "Odin System" was developed.
The Odin system is an auxiliary system that uses special data cables to highly integrate the human brain with the computer to achieve an effect similar to that of the electronic brain. In contrast to the electronic brain, which injects nanomechanical devices, the Odin system is a wearable terminal system that allows the mind to interact directly with standard computer and network technology.
This system is one of the experimental projects that Lieutenant General Kycilia focuses on because of its extraordinary tactical value in military technology.
In order to select suitable experimenters, the Flanagon Institute specially recruited Dr. Selena, who has achieved considerable results in strengthening potions, to participate in the project.
And the tester who is currently experimenting is a special reinforcement person who has been strengthened with drugs - Michelle.
Because human experimentation is prohibited by law, it is impossible for the Flanagon Institute to find material for experiments in Zeon's home country. So in the destroyed colony, the men used captured survivors as subjects for human experimentation.
Michelle is a survivor from Side2, whose hometown was destroyed by Zeon, and the escape ship she was traveling on was captured by the Zeon fleet. As a result, the survivors were secretly imprisoned, and then sent to various research institutes one after another.
Fifteen-year-old Michelle was favored by the Reinforcement Agency, so she was secretly tested with more than a dozen other teenagers on the Enhancement Drug. He was then sent to Dr. Ito and became one of the experimental testers of the Odin system.
"Success, Dr. Selena, your body-enhancing potion has really helped a lot. Otherwise, it would be rare for us to find such a test subject. Dr. Ito smiled at Selena next to him, and in his tone he didn't think of Subject Michelle as a human at all.
"These drugs are not perfect, although they can improve the reaction speed and muscle strength of humans. However, excessive use may cause irreparable damage to the subject's body. Selena looked at the white-haired girl in the laboratory, who had been forcibly injected with various drugs by Zeon's researchers, and her body functions had changed significantly. And such a change, for a girl who was originally an ordinary person, the consequences are really unpredictable.
