The miniaturization of various technologies has always been a technical difficulty. Shang Rafter didn't have a deep understanding of this before, but now he can see it.

How tall is the ship's mother? How tall is Gundam? If you look at the Akashi rafters standing on the Gundam, you can see how difficult it is to make it smaller.

Equip a dozen Akashi-sized Sirius multi-purpose combined high-energy beam rifles to Akashi's ship...... The picture was so beautiful that the rafter didn't dare to imagine it.

"Then Akashi, let's start researching the miniaturization of anti-neutron jammers and live-fire weapons."

"Admiral, is there really a need to study this anti-neutron jammer?"

Akashi, who had always been puzzled by the device used to lift the restrictions on nuclear energy, couldn't help but ask. After all, this thing doesn't seem to have the need for priority research at all, is the world's nuclear energy restricted? Doesn't look like it?

"I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear. Actually, I want you to reverse the neutron jammer by studying this anti-neutron jammer. I'm going to seal all the nuclear weapons away. ”

Remembering that he hadn't told Akashi about the neutron jammer before, Shang Rafter restated the issue of research priority: "Less than a week ago, Uncle Sam's submarine planted a large mushroom not too far from us. For a blue and clean world! All of these weapons must be sealed! ”

"Commander, you're so bad. Sealing off nuclear weapons with neutron jammers, but with anti-neutron jammers in his own hands, does the Admiral want to dominate the world with nuclear weapons? ”

Akashi stared at the Admiral with the eyes of a careerist.

"Dominate the world? Forget it, that grand ideal is not for me, I just want to protect myself. God knows how many survivors are left in the world now, and if any nuclear power throws mushroom bombs all over the world with a brain pump one day, this world, which is already almost dead, will really be game-over. ”

The rafter stalled his hands, saying that he was not interested in the "great ideal" of dominating the world and being so crazy and cool. He just wanted to live. I don't want to be suddenly taken away by a wave of mushroom bullets one day, and I will die an unknown death.

"Hey, I thought the Admiral wanted to rule the world with nuclear weapons, but he just wanted to save his life? It's boring. ”

Akashi seems to be dissatisfied with the Admiral's unambitious ideas.

And Shang Rafter was frightened by the complaint of this tech nerd, "Sister, your idea like this is very dangerous!" ”

Akashi asked disapprovingly, "Isn't the new weapon created to kill people more efficiently?" ”

"You're right, but weapons can also be used to guard. I don't want to be a hero. Who made me have a heroic dream since I was a child? ”

Shang Rafter, who has no idea of becoming a world hegemon, does not hesitate to refute.

"Commander, haven't you graduated from secondary school yet?" Akashi complained speechlessly to the Admiral, and then said: "Based on what I understand and the nuclear bomb that exploded in **** as you said, in order for the remaining human beings to resist and defeat the enemy, they must have a united front, instead of being wary of each other as now, and preparing to stab each other in the back from time to time." ”

“……”

For Akashi's words, Shang Rin found himself powerless to refute it. This techno-nerd, who looks like a war maniac, is not wrong at all. It seems that humanity really needs a leader to rule the whole country if it has any hope of defeating those damned angels and demons. But......

"Akashi's words make a lot of sense, but I'm still not interested in this kind of thing. If I had to have such a leader, I would find a way to make our country the head of the country. I feel that I don't have that talent to manage a world, so let the professional do it, and I'd better be a beautiful man quietly. ”

"It turns out that the Admiral wants to become the legendary Great Demon King behind the scenes?"

Akashi nodded knowingly.

Feed! What the hell is that "I see" look on your face?! Don't misinterpret me! I've never thought about the big demon king behind the scenes! I really just want to be a quiet and beautiful man, and live a life of a winner with you who is not ashamed to be ashamed of sometimes twice, sometimes three times, and sometimes N times a day! My ambition is just to become a little Lord of the Crystal Palace, hey!

However, Shang Rin did not have the courage to speak out about his "great ideals". Because that will definitely cause an extremely tragic Shura field, and he will be killed by the ship girls in the Shura field.

"Forget it, whatever you want. It's good if you're happy. ”

Merchant Rafter, who didn't want to continue on such a dangerous topic, could only go with Akashi's thoughts. Of course, if the business rafters are not interested in the grand cause, only God knows whether others will be interested.

"Oh! That's right. ”

Thinking of the various equipment in Caofeidian that was very complete but was a little bit late, Shang Rafter added: "Akashi, when you were researching Gundam, you took the time to improve the equipment in the port area, and by the way, you can find a way to get a machine that can extract underground crude oil." We're standing on a massive amount of crude oil right now. ”

"Is there a problem with resources? It's just a small thing. In that case, I'll take advantage of the fact that I haven't started to study it yet, so let's solve these little things for you, Admiral. Otherwise, once I get into research, I won't have time to worry about these non-technical things. ”

With that, Akashi jumped off the Gundam.

Shang Rafter: "......"

Akashi is dirty! Why didn't I know what you were doing? The resource problem that gives me a headache is a small matter or something when you come here, it's even more difficult to reverse the black technology on the Gundam than you said before, and it's also a hit!

Why do you think that the resource problem is more damaging than the technical problem? That, of course, is because of the resource problem, and the rafters have put a lot of thought into it. Gundam, on the other hand, was just excited for a while, and then threw it into the decomposition factory to eat ashes. Just look at his densely marked map to see how much effort he has put into the matter of resources. This kind of situation where the things you value very much become very worthless in the eyes of others, and no one will feel good about it.

"That'...... Let's go. ”

I don't feel good in my heart, but the resource problem can be solved, which is undoubtedly a matter that Shang Rafter has always been concerned about. Who said that the issue of resources has always been a top priority for every admiral? How can you keep the town guard running without resources? How to bet on a ship without resources? How can you kidnap ♂ the destroyer Lori without resources? Ahem. It's something that a certain Martian admiral likes to do, so you should just not see it.

In short, wasn't the original intention of Shang Rafter to build Akashi to solve the resource problem? (To be continued.) )
