The war in space, the decisive battle of mankind's first space fleet, was fought magnificently and very quickly.

At 23:00 on the 15th, the battle began, and everyone thought that the Federation Army had won.

But the wish is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

When the time came, at 1:05 on the 16th, the news came from space that the Federation fleet was completely defeated, the space army warships had lost more than eighty percent, the space army's general Rebil was captured, and the control of the remnants of the fleet had been transferred to Brigadier General Kaganin. Now Vice Admiral Kaganin is leading the remnants of the fleet to retreat, fleeing to the Luna-II.

At this point, the Earth Federation Space Force can be said to be just a force that exists in the symbolic sense of Luna-2. Jean Legion has fulfilled its dream of dominating space.

"How can this be?" After the battle report from space reached Earth as quickly as possible, all the high-ranking members of the Federation who were concerned about this decisive battle were silent. Mao Xinglan, who wanted to take Yuan Hao to experience the majesty of the Federation, was even more surprised for a while, and finally got up and asked such a question that he desperately wanted to know.

"Because of the changing circumstances of the war, you ...... Didn't keep up!" Mao Xinglan's question was originally just a casual remark under extreme consternation, and he didn't think that Yuan Hao would be able to answer - Yuan Hao was not a soldier, this was something he had observed a long time ago, he didn't think Yuan Hao could answer such a professional question, but Yuan Hao just answered.

"Oh, what kind of situation?" Seeing Yuan Hao's calm face and the appearance of vows, Mao Xinglan was surprised, he smiled faintly and immediately asked again.

"The emergence of the Minovsky particle has not only brought about the invention of the Michaelis nuclear furnace and the armament of the MEGA particle, but more importantly, the absorption of electromagnetic waves by the Michaelis particle, which shortens the combat distance within the visible range.

The fleet of the Federation Army is all long-distance artillery bombardment and over-the-horizon missiles, but once such an attack method encounters an environment full of Mie particles, how powerful can it be, do you understand?" Yuan Hao asked Mao Xinglan rhetorically.

Then he didn't wait for Mao Xinglan to answer, so he continued to talk to himself.

"Michaels particles absorb radio waves, which makes it impossible for your ships to lock onto enemy ships. Without knowing the exact target, your missiles can't be used, and the hit rate of long-range artillery is staggeringly poor - this is also relative, your hit rate is not good, and Jean's hit rate is not good.

But what you didn't expect was that Jean had a Mobile Suit specifically for you, and equipped the Mobile Suit with a murderous low-yield nuclear bomb.

Mobile Suits can approach your ships with Minovsky particles scattered, and low-yield nukes can directly destroy your ship's presence. Mobile Suits can be controlled by one person, and your ships are the collaboration of hundreds or thousands. The speed of reaction on both sides is not at the same level, and it is only natural that you will fail. ”

Yuan Hao used his own words to conduct a series of analyses of the reasons for the defeat of the federal army.

"In other words, this time it is a change in the era of war, just like the retirement of ancient battleships and the beginning of the era of aircraft carriers? Mobile Suits - these seemingly bulky large mechs did give the Jean Army a great advantage. Next, it must be the era of mobile suits. Mao Xinglan had heard the relevant remarks, but he didn't believe it before, but the facts were in front of him, and now he can't believe it. Since he chose to believe, with Mao Xinglan's professional quality, he could naturally get a relatively accurate judgment from Yuan Hao's analysis.

"Well, exactly...... Unless, you think of a way to neutralize the Minovsky particle...... However, this means of being more uncertain for you. Yuan Hao nodded affirmatively.

"So...... If we want to have more say in the Federation, we have to develop Mobile Suits?" Mao Xinglan figured out the next focus.

"Although the Federation is said to be a unified Federation, those people have suppressed us a lot over the years...... Isn't it?" Yuan Hao smiled faintly: "As a Huaxia person, I was looking for you at the beginning, not Gabro. ”

"Haha, you're obviously a nationalist when you get there. Mao Xinglan laughed, and he patted Yuan Hao's shoulder: "This statement is very appealing to my appetite, what are you going to do?"

"I needed a secure R&D base...... Not here, but more remotely. Yuan Hao calmly said his request.

"Safer ...... Do you doubt?" Mao Xinglan heard something else from Yuan Hao's words.

"Unless the Federation intends to surrender immediately, the Earth invasion of the Jean Army is inevitable. In the face of the Zagu of the Jean Army and the disconcerted spread of the Minovsky particles, is the Federation now capable of withstanding the attack of the Jean Army? If not, then the exchange of space for time is inevitable...... It's like World War II!" replied Yuan Hao affirmatively.

"World War II?" Mao Xinglan smiled bitterly: "It was an unbearable time. To tell the truth, it is a shame for our military personnel to trade time for space, because we let the leather boots of the enemy step on our soil...... I really don't want to do this if it's not a last resort. ”

"But that's something that can't be helped...... We don't have any good way to stop Zagu's invasion for the time being...... Zagu's armor is thick enough to withstand Type 61 armor-piercing shells, and Zagu's body is so agile that it can easily rush in front of Type 61 with Minovsky particles scattered. Once Zagu gets close, Type 61 is basically a target. Yuan Hao stretched out his hands helplessly.

"In that case...... Then we're busy. Mao Xinglan muttered to herself: "There are some things that we must start preparing as soon as possible." ”

Mao Xinglan said that he was preparing, but in fact, he started acting directly. As a soldier, as the actual army commander of the entire Huaxia region, he has the ability to change Yuan Hao and them to a more hidden place within the authority he can use.

Although these third-line projects were considered useless in later times and were successively moved out of the mountains, some of the infrastructure and warehouses that should have been retained as the military's own land.

Mao Xinglan used his authority to find a third-line base for Yuan Hao in Yanshan, and at the same time, under Yuan Hao's suggestion, he gathered a large number of scientific researchers and related factories to start the construction of a mobile suit production base.

Mao Xinglan believed in Yuan Hao's sincerity and arranged for him to be an army colonel, and asked him to guide the production and construction of the entire base in the name of the base's adviser - for this he arranged for Yuan Hao a 30-year-old major general named Zhou Yunchang as his nominal boss.

This Zhou Yunchang is a good old man's character, easy to speak, but also has his own principles. He is Mao Xinglan's cronies, and strictly implements the order given to him by Mao Xinglan: fully support Yuan Hao's work, as long as he does not commit treason, then everything will be up to him.

This order was conveyed to Zhou Yunchang by Mao Xinglan in front of Yuan Hao. Mao Xinglan said it openly, and Yuan Hao felt trust from it.

"Death for a confidant!" Yuan Hao thought that he couldn't do this, but he was still moved a lot in his heart.

Now that you are moved, it is time to make some reciprocal behavior, so what is better to repay than to research Huaxia's own mobile suit?

It seems that there is none!

In that case, let's get motivated, hurry up!

Unlike the Americas, which have already completed some models, the Huaxia side can be described as halfway home, chasing ducks on the road, and due to the hidden blockade of other states in terms of technology, they don't know much about mobile suits.

Since the Battle of Rum has ended, the toughness of the Mobile Suit is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As a controllable humanoid mecha that is most suitable for combat in an environment rich in Minofsky particles. The development of mobile fighters on the Huaxia side is definitely not a question of whether to develop them, but a question of what they should become.

Everything starts from actual combat, and the preliminary project research can be completely omitted.

Directly into the relevant concept design......

Although no one had ever designed a mobile suit, he was aware of the mobile suit itself and learned from some source how the Federation's "Gundam" came about, so Yuan Hao approached the factory owners of each supply system.

He invited them to his large factory where he was secretly researching, pointed to the T-600 placed on the stand and said to them: "Unlike the mobile suit that uses armor and skeleton on the Jean side, the mobile suit we are going to study should be more like a human body."

In my early years, when we were developing automobiles, someone said, 'A car is nothing great!' just an engine, a chassis, four wheels, a row of sofas, a piece of iron, a steering wheel!' – it's rough, but it also says the essence of the car.

The same is true of the mobile suits that we are working on at the moment: the Optical Instrument Factory is responsible for the development of mobile suit camera sensors, the Prosthetic Machinery Factory is responsible for designing the mobile suit skeleton structure, the steel mill is responsible for the production of armor steel, the computer company is responsible for integrating the mobile suit control system, and the weapons department is responsible for converting existing weapons into hand-held ......

There's nothing complicated about a Mobile Suit, it's just a humanoid skeleton with a control compartment and some armor. It's also very simple, you don't have to think too hard about him. As for the specific setup of the skeleton, you can refer to the guy behind me. You can look at this little gadget tenfold by a factor of two...... That's pretty much the height of Zagu. ”

"This ...... This is a bit messy! The separation of various systems and the integration of various equipment...... This in itself will take a long time. "There are opinions on this.

"Now it's war, war has the practice of war, and buying time comes first...... The sooner we have developed our own airframe, our counteroffensive will be able to carry out faster......" Yuan Hao patiently told them, and at the same time announced his intention to them: "As our first mobile suit in China, my expectation for it is such a concept - it should be a coordinated platform, with only basic combat capabilities and basic armaments: hand-held machine guns, melee defense guns, and melee swords.

This is a basic three-piece set for Mobile Suits.

And on top of this three-piece set, he should have the interface of various backpacks:

Armed with rocket artillery, he can provide long-range support, and equipped with wings, he can fly......

In short, our mobile suit should be the concept of a man and a warrior! Man is the ontology, the warrior is a bonus, and what kind of warrior he becomes depends on the armed forces. ”

"Uh...... This idea ...... It's quite ingenious!" After listening to Yuan Hao's design outline, everyone couldn't help but admire a little, but they also saw the key to this setting: "Bones, according to this design, the skeleton structure of the mobile suit and the material of the skeleton itself are the key. ”

"Then......" Yuan Hao nodded in agreement, and then turned his head to the people from the Materials Research Institute and the representatives of the steel mill: "How about it, can you provide the relevant materials?"

"Leave it to us! We can provide you with titanium alloy that is light enough and stiff enough...... The United States has Luna Titanium, and our new titanium alloy will not lose to them - we have already suffered enough losses in materials science, and this time, we will not let them be predominant!" the representatives of the Materials Research Institute and the representatives of the steel mill looked at each other and swore promises.

"Very good...... Yuan Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Mobile Suit, we have to develop the best verification machine first, and then use the best verification machine to conduct relevant tests." The verifier is then subtracted. For a body with bones, it is much easier to subtract than to add. ”

"The best? ...... the cost?" someone questioned.

"Cost doesn't care about it...... The key is speed. If we can develop our own system before the Americas, then I think the country should have a way to use this to crack down on those who look down on people, and then get more benefits for us. Yuan Hao tempted them.

"Okay......" Everyone thought that this made sense, so they agreed. To develop a peerless boutique is the desire of every R&D personnel. Although there are quite a few constraints in this boutique at the moment, they believe that as long as the cost can allow, they will definitely develop enough terrifying mobile suits.

"The strongest mobile suit in the Federation, we will definitely develop it. They swore in their hearts.

This can be regarded as a group of unwilling people roaring in secret.

In short, after some arrangement, the research work on mobile suit on the Chinese side was arranged.

Yuan Hao is responsible for proposing goals and topics, Zhou Yunchang is responsible for coordinating all aspects of work for him, and Yuan Hao is responsible for system integration and software writing, and Yuan Hao is responsible for handing over this task to Miles.

This is also a matter of course, is it more difficult to develop a controllable system than a fully intelligent system? Maybe, maybe not...... But Miles does have a lot of experience in this area, and Yuan Hao will not leave him aside.

After Sima and those people began to serve in the federal army, Yuan Hao also officially began his own efforts.
