Chapter 2 is not an encounter
"Is the humanoid mobile weapon currently in service on LUXION the RX-7?"
After returning from the cafeteria, Roger, who has lost his soul, begins to desperately try to make up for the common sense of the mission plane, but even with the help of DG, the information he can obtain directly from the flagship database is still quite limited (Note 1). And to be honest, the light knowledge of the Dao model is meaningless, he can't even remember the size of the cosmic monster and the distribution of troops that attacked this time, how can he formulate an accurate response plan based on the body's output and the like?
So DG couldn't bear it anymore and drank directly, "Instead of wasting your time on this, you might as well use the excuse of overtime to go to Gnaku to observe the site." β
Oh, why do you need to make such a simple thing complicated? It must have been too much contact with Li Li and Priscia, and they were infected with stupidity.
Suddenly enlightened, Roger dropped the few manuals he had just collected, opened the door and ran directly in the direction of the hangar.
Now that he has tacitly accepted his identity as a pilot, it naturally means that he has his own special mech. The refurbisters of the experimental fleet are all masters and old fritters, and although the bodies of the same ace pilots can be safely handed over to them to fiddle with, from the perspective of personal driving styles and habits, it is also necessary to re-"familiarize" the rebuilt bodies of those unfamiliar renovators from time to time.
At least Roger walked into the hangar unsurprisingly to find that one or two pilots were obviously "copying the machine" in addition to himself.
Then, if you expand your mind a little, the size and strength of this cosmic monster that can completely defeat this elite-level fleet must be quite impressive.
Roger muttered to himself as he found his humanoid weapon at the prompting of DG. To be honest, the various instruments in this cockpit are simply dizzying, and it is completely extreme to keep up with the concise layout of the two planes. Don't say anything about retinal projection or holographic dome, just stare at these dozens or hundreds of meter parameters one by one.
Greeting the maintenance staff and his peers with a smile, Roger's heart was full of bitterness until the hatch was completely closedβno wonder Noriko Takaya said that he had no talent in the original book, that is, he was an old bird who had barely piloted more than three types of mobile weapons, and he had to be blind when he encountered this kind of machine with a dial all over the mountains.
Alas, since you are here, you have to follow the rules of your own plane. Roger didn't give himself much time to complain. After receiving simple driving instructions from DG, he practiced the most basic disassembly maneuvers in the name of "checking the details of each part".
Five minutes later, a certain reincarnation made a decisive conclusion -
"DG, you might as well find a chance to swallow it."
β¦β¦
That being said, even though Roger had already made up his mind on the body, he still hadn't figured out how to deal with the fierce battle that could come at any time.
Saved all over 500 people?
If the opponent is the strength of the Queen-level fleet, you can experiment with it, but what if it is stronger than that? Judging from his memory, the cosmic monster itself is also very good at fighting with various types of body types, and I'm afraid he won't find an opportunity to create a FOLD safe zone at all.
What's more, it seems that the cosmic monster can still launch an attack in the subspace where WARP jumps, which is clearly beyond his current reach......
Either stay on the flagship and wait for three days, or fight to the end, and finally return to Earth in a lifeboat as a wounded.
Other solutions, such as letting DG swallow the lifeboat to study the WARP setting, and letting DG simply swallow the entire fleet and stage a merger in advance, etc., don't seem to be very realistic.
Then there is only one way to abandon these people, or let the inertia of the original plot choose the survivors of about one-tenth by itself?
Roger in the cockpit was a little depressed.
Soon, however, a soothing subplot emerged:
ACCORDING TO THE GOSSIP THAT ROGER HEARD ON THE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL, THE CURRENT LUXION FLEET IS NOT IN THE SUB-LIGHT FULL-SPEED CRUISING PHASE. On the contrary, since there is an unfamiliar star system nearby, the scientists in the fleet are suggesting that an exploration team of appropriate size be sent to assist them in their necessary scientific work.
Originally, this kind of escort mission was carried out by "ordinary" mobile weapon pilots, led by at most one or two ace-level leaders. But after the frequent release of this kind of mission in recent days, the aces are in a stable mood, and the ordinary pilots who like to hone their skills have more or less opinions, so Roger unexpectedly got a good opportunity to test the airframe.
An ace like him offered to change shifts with "ordinary" people, and everyone was always happy with the results, so he quickly drove the RX behind the scientific research ship and flew out of LUXION in a leisurely manner.
"Captain Roger, are you experimenting with a new redirection maneuver?" The kind greetings of the pilot of the research ship came from the communication channel.
Roger's identity would not have caused this kind of problem, but because the scientific research work itself was quite boring and had nothing to do with the driver, the old man was a little speechless. Besides, someone's body movements are indeed a little different......
Roger copes with the communication while he has the idea of leaving all the driving work to DG. If he really can't do it, he is also going to ask DG for a crystal, and then use this crystal to solve various practical problems for him......
However, to his surprise, DG actually took the initiative to request a complete fusion of this RX before he could open his mouth.
"Isn't it too sudden, how are you going to deal with the routine inspection after the return flight?" Roger was not going to object to being able to lighten his burden as soon as possible, but he still asked routinely in a cautious manner.
As a result, the answer from DG made him immediately "excited", "In your memory, what is the nesting habit of cosmic monsters?" β
Well, this is not an answer at all, it is a rhetorical question.
But Roger easily understood what DG meant, and the other party's hint was actually obvious enough:
The so-called cosmic monsters in this mission plane reproduce directly in the stars in all sources.
Regardless of the so-called "common habit" of attacking when sensing WARP fluctuations, it is theoretically impossible for a faster-than-light fleet like LUXION to directly encounter an enemy in space for no reason, right?
Deceleration, star system, scientific expedition......
So many conditions have been given, if Roger still can't think that this is the prelude to "encountering the enemy", it will be too inferior.
"So, if you start assimilating RX now, will you have time?"
"It's okay to modify or use the Venerable Gundam, VF fighters, etc., and you can also relink with the LUXION system, but it's ...... in terms of output."
"The strength of the enemy belongs to the category of unpredictable, just do your best."
That being said, Roger, who was originally guarding the left rear side of the research ship, was still a little unwilling.
At least due to the devouring of the DG, or if necessary, to take the Venerable Gundam, etc., not only can he not give early warning to the research ship, but he must keep a low profile as much as possible until the preparations are completed, after all, these scientists are likely to be one of those survivors (Note 2), and for the sake of future "missions", he still can't be too public.
Fortunately, in the case that it cannot be said explicitly, the method of "idle procrastination" can be used to slow down the speed of the scientific research ship as much as possible. So when DG sent a signal of "assimilation complete", Roger, who had been worried all the way but finally didn't notice the emergency, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a pity that this breath was relieved a little earlier, because it was not marked on the scientific research ship or the escort DX reconnaissance system, but after the DG assimilation was completed, the dense red high-energy biological signals on the radar completely shattered his luck psychology.
"Is there any mistake? Even the energy response of the miscellaneous class is above the VAJRA red adult? β
"In the original materials, the size of the miscellaneous soldiers you mentioned ranged from ten meters to a hundred meters, and the key words of being able to physically resist particle cannons also ......"
Before Roger could continue cursing in his heart, and before he even had time to rush to the front position, the optical telescope on board the research ship had already reflected the figure of a creature that was extremely similar to a flea......

Note 1: In the works of the 80s, even computers may not be able to be used normally, and if you expect DG to directly link to the flagship database to obtain information, it is really easier to let it swallow LUXION directly. Although I may not be able to write the heaviness of the TOP series, in order not to spoil the atmosphere, I will try to minimize some complaints that have nothing to do with the background of the original book.
Note 2: This is different from the original book, and the survivorship reports in the original book are too lazy to check carefully, but it can be seen from the shouting that there is another person, and the Takaya Admiral gave priority to throwing Ota on the lifeboat, and it is impossible that all the people sitting on it are combatants and the like. In my personal definition, a "first" fleet in history has a normal military background, but without scientists, it is more to be purely military, at least it must be a military researcher...... Moreover, in the original book, Ota is only the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the plan developed by him can be approved, at least it should not be his own credit.
