The next day, the two Strike Gundams arrived at the test site on the ground with two prototypes of the Solar Furnace, choosing an isolated island not far from Izanagi Port.

"The final tests are carried out by various departments."

"The assault is system-wide."

"Assault: Nightcrawler's entire system is normal."

"The solar furnace is started, the output is stable, and the energy transmission is normal...... The whole system is normal! ”

When everything was ready, Erica Simmons turned to look at Yang Hui.

"Let's get started." Yang Hui nodded and agreed to the start of the mock test.

"Testing begins, and Strike and Strike Nightcrawler take to the skies to perform the first phase of the testing process."

"Understood." X2

The first three phases of the project were to test whether the Solar Furnace would be affected by various conditions such as air currents, temperature, humidity and other conditions in the natural environment, and whether it would cause additional burdens and threats to the body.

Tested without any problems and even under water it works properly.

"Phase 4...... Begin. By the fourth stage, everyone was nervous, and Erica Simmons didn't dare to take her eyes off the screen that recorded the body's data.

The fourth stage of the test, also known as the limit test, gradually increases the output power of the solar furnace to test what the threshold of the limit is, while maintaining the movement of the body, and testing whether the body can withstand the output of the solar furnace.

"Understood." XN

"Mu, Major Shubalia, stay safe."

"Don't worry, I'm a man who can't make the impossible possible."

"Understood."

Whether it is Mu's flamboyant tongue or Morgan Shubalier's rigorous answer, Erica Simmons's hanging heart has been put down a lot, the two have completely different personalities, but they are both reliable people, otherwise Erica Simmons would not have let the two of them be the test pilots of the solar furnace.

"Check if the force shut-off system is working properly?"

"Normal!"

"Very good, always pay attention to the data of the body, and if there is danger, cut it off immediately!"

"Understood!"

This is Erica Simmons's follow-up hand, setting up a forced shut-off program on the two solar furnaces, once the solar furnace is overloaded, it can immediately cut off all connections between the solar furnace and the body, and then eject from the body, so as to ensure the safety of the test pilot.

Not to mention that Mu is her lover, Mu and Morgan Schubaliai are both precious trump cards of Orb, and if the experiment fails, it is enough to start over, and the value of the ace pilot is much more precious than the prototype of two solar furnaces.

But fortunately, the design drawings given by Yang Hui are very complete, and the manufacturing process is personally supervised by Erica Simmons, without the slightest cut corners, watching the output that is constantly approaching the theoretical threshold, Erica Simmons's tension in his heart is slowly relieved.

At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded inside the command headquarters.

"Didi......"

"Immediately just force the cut-off program!" The alarm sounded, and Erica Simmons gave the order to cut off for the safety of Mu and Morgan Shubaliah, without thinking.

"Director Simmons, there is no abnormality in the first prototype and the second prototype, the output has always been within the safe range, it is the body, and the output exceeds the load of the body!"

Instead of immediately carrying out Erica Simmons' order, the subordinates reported the details to her, and everyone knew that the life safety of the test pilots came first, but it was not a danger to the Solar Furnace, and they were reluctant to abandon the Solar Furnace.

"Overloaded?" Erica Simmons was stunned for a moment, immediately checked the detailed data, and then withdrew the previous order and gave the correct instructions, "Mu, Major Shubalia, please reply if you receive it." ”

"Roger, please." X2

"At the end of the test, slowly reduce the output of the solar furnace and slow down, and return to the base."

"Understood." X2

At the end of the communication, Erica Simmons immediately began to check what the load problem of the mech was, the theoretical threshold of the solar furnace does exceed the ultra-compact energy battery, but it is not as good as the nuclear engine, the two Strike Gundams retain the appearance of the Strike Gundam in addition to their appearance, the materials of the armor and skeleton, the conduction system, and the electronic system are all upgraded according to the specifications of the Daybreak Gundam, the Angel of Energy and other mechs.

In other words, the Strike Gundam is capable of withstanding the power of the nuclear engine, and it stands to reason that the output of the Solar Furnace will not exceed the carrying capacity of the body even if it reaches the threshold.

"The problem is in the conduction system." Yang Hui said suddenly.

"Conduction system?"

"Yes, the conduction system does not perfectly transmit GN particles throughout the body, and the anti-gravity characteristics do not evenly cover the body, resulting in uneven force on the body when moving at high speeds."

As he spoke, Yang Hui called up the specific data of the two Strike Gundams, and at the same time overlapped the coverage of the GN particles on the body with the location of the problem with the parts of the body, and the problem was obvious.

"So that's ......" Erica Simmons breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't a big problem, it was just a modification of the conduction system, and it didn't take much effort.

"As soon as the body returns, you will cooperate with me to improve the new conduction system."

"You're going to get involved?"

"Well, complete all the tests as soon as possible, and then start mass production, and it's best to ensure that all ace bodies are equipped with solar furnaces before the destruction of [Julius 7]."

"All ace special machines? But...... Don't you already have a nuclear engine? Erica Simmons wondered that the nuclear engine was better than the solar furnace, but the cost was too high, and the popularization of the nuclear engine would also affect the nerves of many people, so it was not mass-produced, and it was still exclusive to Daybreak Gundam, Angel of Ability, Angel of Wisdom, Angel of Virtue, Gundam of Freedom, Gundam of Justice, and the Gundam of Rebirth and Covenant Gundam sealed in the [Terminal].

"The solar furnace is not as good as the nuclear engine in terms of output and endurance, but the characteristics of GN particles cannot be abandoned, and I plan to adopt a dual-energy system."

"Dual energy system!?"

"That's right, the use of nuclear engines and solar furnaces at the same time complements each other."

"But...... Is this possible? ”

Erica Simmons understands Yang Hui's decision, after all, the characteristics of GN particles are too good and irreplaceable, but the dual energy system is a system that has never appeared, and it is a dangerous move, whether the two energy sources are compatible, whether there will be rejection, etc.

And if there is an accident, the pseudo-solar furnace is fine, but once the nuclear engine explodes, the damage area and loss will be great.

"I already have the idea to solve the problem of energy transmission system first, and then study the dual energy system."

“…… I see, but I have to warn you that although the solar furnace is cheaper than the nuclear engine, if you need to have one, Orb may not have enough resources. ”

If it is only popularized among the MS troops, it is enough to use Orb's current resource reserves, but Erica Simmons knows that Yang Hui's comprehensive popularization includes battleships, and the simulated solar furnace needed by battleships is expensive.

"Let's take it step by step according to the priority, it's really not possible, the mass production machine will be replaced by a GN particle storage tank for the time being."
