"It's beautiful." The three girls lamented that the mecha, which was evaluated as slender as a girl in the mouths of the fabricators, received more feminine praise from the girls.

"It's a pity that we didn't open it." After admiring, the three girls sighed at the same time, their mecha had been determined that it was not the phoenix in front of them.

"Sister Alicia, whose mecha is this phoenix?" Yufang still couldn't help but ask.

"This mecha is Li Lin's landline." Alicia smiled and looked at the surprised looks of the three girls, and added: "Actually, when this mecha began to interpret the design book written by the night, I once thought that it was a mecha that mainly focused on long-range attacks, but the night gave me a lot of surprises, no wonder he always asked me something about mind manipulation at the beginning, well, I remember that night was controlling a few spoons flying around him, and asked me that question." ”

"Mind manipulation?"

"It's the ability of some supernatural beings, and the simple understanding is to make an object act according to your thoughts. And the night added this design at the end of the design book.,Hehe.,I actually wrote it at the end.,I don't know the specific principle.,For detailed design, please see the third-to-last paragraph on page 398 of "Elsa's Secret Record" about the design of weapons in this area Such naïve words. ”

"Haha, the design of the night end is copied from his mother?" Io laughed.

"The teacher's record does have such a weapon design, but although the teacher has such a design, the person who drives the weapon with such a design is an alien, so the teacher has not done experiments. But fortunately, the teacher's design is not too wrong, and the Idea Weapon installed on the Phoenix has been able to be used normally after our experiments and debugging. ”

"Sister Nalin is a stranger? No, Sister Lin's eyes are brown, not sapphire blue. Magnolia recalled.

"She's as invisible as Night." Alicia, who had always been mild-mannered, had a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. It makes the women who are accustomed to Alicia's gentle image have a trace of irresistible fear.

Alicia sorted out her emotions and said, "One of the captains in charge of escorting her transport ship is an Imperial intermittent. After the jump, he secretly cut off the oxygen supply to Linlin's room. ”

"What, how dare he do that."

"Fortunately, Linlin is an anomaly, and a telekinesis, she is instinctive when she is unconscious due to lack of oxygen, she opens her handcuffs and the locked door, and the air flowing in the aisle saves her life."

"Explosives were installed in the handcuffs. If you break it by brute force, wouldn't Sister Lin's hands be..."Yulan, who is familiar with the structure of the Federation handcuffs, exclaimed, if these handcuffs are broken by force, the explosives inside will be activated, although the power is not large, but it can still be done by blowing up the arm.

"Turning on the handcuffs remotely is the same as opening them with the correct electronic key. So Linlin is fine, but the color of her eyes can't change back. With that, Alicia took out a picture and gave it to the three girls.

"It's a beautiful color." In the photo, Rin's left eye turned blue, a symbol of the Ability, and her right eye turned emerald green.

"The green eyes peculiar to the Rubedo tribe, as long as they are supernatural in their clan. It must be a powerful telematic. Alicia added with a smile.

The three girls were still a little puzzled that the phoenix could only be piloted by the Adept, but Alicia's next actions cleared their minds.

I saw Alicia pick up a watch-like instrument from the console on the side and put it on her right hand, and then entered a series of numbers on the instrument, and then the mecha's eyes flashed green. The monitor of the instrument in Alicia's hand showed a series of phoenixes. After setting up some data with ease, Alicia smiled mysteriously at the three girls.

Alicia's beautiful sapphire eyes were clear, and the clarity of her eyes suddenly deepened, as if she could absorb the light around her. The two wings in the middle of the six wings behind the phoenix also spread out with Alicia's changes, and three flake-like flakes were separated from the originally smooth wings.

The tail of the lamella spreads out with four tiny tail fins, and the head is split apart. It became a beam cannon consisting of two gun rails. The wings then began to flutter around the promenade in mid-air faster than the birds.

"These are manipulated by the pilot's abilities?" Io asked in surprise.

"Ahh Otherwise, she wouldn't need a Adept to drive her. Alicia wrapped six mental weapons around her neatly and smiled. The six weapons rotated around her under her control, constantly changing positions up and down, left and right, and seemed quite flexible.

"It's amazing, what do they do?" Magnolia exclaimed.

"Until Linlin learns how to use it, everything is a secret. Hehe. Alicia tapped her jade index finger lightly on her lips.

"Sister Alicia, tell us." Yufang immediately shook Alicia's left hand.

"Ahh It's my limit to what I can do. And the features that haven't been tested aren't sure if they'll work, so I still can't say. Alas, the only people who can meet the Phoenix's requirements for telekinesis are the Rubedo and some particularly powerful telepsy remotes. Alicia said regretfully, and with a wave of her hand, the six weapons left her side and flew back into their clasps, locked firmly in the middle wing of the phoenix.

More functions of the phoenix needed to be unlocked by Lynn, and this was obviously impossible, so the girls left the hangar and looked at the first hangar on the left, which had no pattern on it, only a simple S.

"What's in that hangar?" Io asked.

"It's just an experiment, but it was actually developed at the same time as Hades. The Immortal is a product modeled after the Ranger, and it is a completely new prototype. SKY is a test product for the development of a new form of mecha, but unfortunately we failed. Alicia shook her head with some emotion. Aria Group has invested a lot of new technologies and concepts in this Sky Installation, but this aircraft has almost become a failure due to its original architecture. However, the Aria Group installed a large number of experimental weapons on the expensive mech, and turned the mech, which was almost thrown into the scrap yard, into a test machine.

However, the girls were attracted by the name of the experiment. Immediately ask to enter and get a glimpse of the sky.

"That mecha is not as slender as the mecha designed by the night, and the slenderness of the phoenix is mainly due to the fact that the legs of the mecha are too slender at this time, and the parts of its body are not smaller than those of Hades. And although the Phoenix was completed, it was completed according to the design of the night, and some details still needed to be modified according to the pilot's requirements, especially the installation of the leg engine system and the cosmic maneuvering nozzle. These devices are night in the past not considered. With the addition of these equipment, the phoenix's legs will no longer look so slender. Alicia corrects the girls' misconceptions about the sky and explains why the phoenix looks so slender.

The door to the first hangar slowly opened, and the girls still walked down the dark corridor to a control panel, and as Alicia operated, the girls' eyes were illuminated, revealing the test machine.

"God, that's two extremes with Phoenix." Yufang said. The mecha in front of me does not have the beautiful color of a phoenix, nor does it have a good figure like a phoenix. The exterior of the Sky Mecha is pale gray. The gray feeling made the light of the five high-powered searchlights seem a little gray. And the size of this mecha does not match its name for the light and agile sky, its body is almost one and two times the thickness of a phoenix, and it carries a huge backpack almost the thickness of the fuselage behind it.

"In fact, in terms of performance in all aspects, this mech has quite good performance, but its deformable structure makes the mech's waist more susceptible to serious damage when attacked. In battle, the most vulnerable parts of the mech are the chest and waist. ”

"What the hell is going on, Sister Alicia?" Magnolia asked curiously.

Alicia pulls up an image from the control panel, and the giant Sky Mecha begins his transformation process. The first is the legs of the mech. The knee pads are mounted on the knee joints instead of being attached to the lower leg armor, and the mobile armor is designed so that the knee joints allow the lower legs of the mech to fold back on the thighs like a snake's jaw without getting caught in the knee pads. And the crotch of the mecha is separated from the left and right. The hip joint valgus moves up to the waist and also moves the leg points up.

Sky's hands are then separated from the shoulder joints, the shoulder armor is turned down to cover the armor gaps that the arms leave behind, while the arms are guided by the side and waist rails, and the hands are guided to the crotch to be fixed, filling the unarmored gap between the legs. The hip joints are covered, and then the hands are clenched into fists, and the armor on the arms is also raised to cover the hands.

Eventually, the chest armor rose and was moved to the back of the mech along with the cockpit, and the mech's shield filled the gap left by the chest armor. At the same time, the head of the mecha was obscured and became the nose.

"Fighters?" After watching the video, Io immediately asked.

"Yes. It's still super heavy, and its length is not only five meters longer than the Hellfire, but also almost the thickness of the overlapping fuselages of the two Hellfires. Alicia recounted the data from the sky.

"The Hellfire is seventeen meters long, and apart from the landing gear and vertical tail that are three meters high, the fighter plane that the sky turns into is twenty-three meters long and six meters high? Can such a heavy fighter fly? Magnolia was surprised.

"In order to be able to fly in the sky, our technicians have put a lot of thought into it. However, the effort paid off, and after adding the same new engine as the Immortal and reducing the weight of the armor a lot, it still flew into the blue sky. Unfortunately, without the assistance of a high-power backpack, its performance in the air is not as good as that of some old propeller transport aircraft. Alicia said helplessly.

Although the Sky Mecha is a head taller than the Hades in its mecha form, its weight is nearly ten tons lighter than the sixty tons of the Hades. Such an effect lies in the effect of the foam-type armor on which it is installed, a new technology that can be said to have been developed specifically for the sky by the Yaria Group. The basic idea of foam armor is to create honeycomb holes in the middle of the armor material, and these structures can reduce the armor's defense capability by about one-third in exchange for nearly half the weight load. However, considering the strength of the armor of the mech's fragile waist and core chest, the Aria Group only used this technology on the limbs of the mech.

"It's bad." Io pouted, obviously this kind of air combat performance is completely chicken.

"Ahh Alicia smiled and shook her index finger and said, "In order to solve the problem of poor air combat ability, our group has specially developed a backpack." The backpack of four particle engines used in the Ghost Transport Plane allows the skies to compete with Hellfire in aerial combat. ”

"That's an exaggeration." Yufang asked in disbelief.

"Buying a backpack for more than nine tons of weight is almost twice the engine output of the mecha itself, so this is a natural result. The jetpack used by the military here uses the same concept, but with a much smaller amount of extra effort. ”

"It's terrifying, but I'm afraid a mech of this weight is terrible in terms of flexibility." Magnolia pondered for a moment and said.

"It's not too bad, the flexibility is between the performance of the Ghost Transport and the Hellfire, which should be considered good, after all, the engines installed on it and the large number of vents can help it to a large extent, and most importantly, at subsonic speeds, the sky can increase flexibility by switching between the form of the fighter and the mech."

"It's true that as long as the engine is strong enough to resist gravity and the joints are tough enough to resist air resistance, then deformation can really have a surprising effect and extra flexibility." Magnolia thought for a moment and said.

"Then this mecha is pretty good, why did my sister say it failed?" Io asked, in her opinion, the sky that can conduct both air and mecha battles is a true mecha in the air and land in the third sense of the word.

"Hehe, this mech has a fatal flaw in its structure. First of all, in terms of the transformation ability of the mecha, once the guide rails on the side and waist of the mecha are damaged, the deformation of the mecha's hands will fail. If the lumbar joint is damaged, the function of moving the leg up will not be completed. At the same time, injuries to the deformation mechanism of the shoulder will also affect the deformation. On the battlefield, the mech's body is the most vulnerable. Of course, these problems can be solved to a certain extent by additional mobile covering armor, but its defensive ability is far inferior to normal mecha armor, so once the sky is seriously injured on the battlefield, it is easy to affect the mecha's deformation ability. Moreover, the complex waist joints of the sky greatly reduce the structural strength of the waist of the mecha, so that the sky is easy to fail due to structural displacement when the waist is subjected to a huge impact. Alicia explained, "In this way, this mech's ability to fly is indeed a bit of a frustration. After Alicia's analysis, Io understood the structural flaws in the sky. (To be continued.) )
