Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 138: A Request for Help from Bakilulu

The development of the Hermes Zero was finally completed, but Red's constant "crashes" proved that even Red, the strongest psychic in the team, was still unable to control the speed of Mach 3 in the MA form on complex terrain.

To be precise, if you really want to move among a meteorite swarm, the speed must be reduced to about Mach 1.

Of course, if given a dozen seconds to adapt and there aren't too many obstacles around, Red will still be able to control the Mach 3 machine well.

As for the MS form, this form can reach Mach 3 in the universe because there is no need to consider air resistance in the universe. However, Red cannot control the MA form, and the result of the MS form will not be very good.

This is the case with meteorite clusters in relatively large gaps, let alone in low-lying areas of cities with densely populated high-rise buildings.

According to the simulation, if the MS form can reach Mach 1/3 by then, it will be due to Red's outstanding performance.

Ground combat in the city? High-speed aircraft are not recommended to fight in narrow areas with no space to hide.

This situation made Red realize that perhaps maneuvering at speeds above Mach 1.5 in complex terrain is already the realm of S-class machines (the Strike Freedom's assault speed is not that fast, and it requires the Ascension Freedom MA form in the movie to reach this speed. Little-known fact: Ascension Freedom's combat power may seem weak, and it is not a nuclear power machine, but it is actually more advanced than the Strike Freedom that was modernized by Akebono in the movie).

Therefore, my own system's evaluation of the ace's driving skills is no longer effective.

So Red called Angel over to test it. Sure enough, Angel only had to familiarize herself with the machine before she could easily drive it through the meteorite group at a speed close to Mach 2.

After finishing the job, she also asked Red to help her modify her Immortal Shield. After eating the good food, Angel began to complain that the Immortal Shield was too slow.

Red could only offer to help Angie arrange it as soon as possible.

Then he confirmed in his heart that his driving skills could not keep up with the machine. The Hermes Zero had already taken a step into the ranks of S-machines with its extraordinary mobility. He had to impose certain restrictions before he could drive it.

However, Red is still not sure what the opportunity is for the transition from ace to master. Although Char's driving skills in the Gryps II battle should have reached the master level, the performance gap between Hyaku-Shiki and the Mystic Thunderbolt is too big. Hyaku-Shiki is definitely a B-class machine, and the Mystic Thunderbolt should have entered the A-class category after replacing the micro-nuclear fusion reactor.

The performance of the machine is overwhelming, so the impact of Char's technology is limited, just like when he first faced the RX-78 in a Zaku.

Even though Amuro's MS driving proficiency was only rated as skilled at best, at least Char, who was an ace, still had no way to deal with the RX-78.

As for the others, Kamius's MS driving skills have definitely not grown to the master level, he relies on the performance of the Z Gundam and his new human abilities. After all, he is the one who can be suppressed by a few High Zakus for a while even when the final battle is approaching.

Only when fighting Cabini, because the new humans were too powerful and Camus was a professional match against the floating cannon, Harman seemed to be completely at a disadvantage.

Of course, in the original work, after Camus angered Haman, she no longer needed the floater, but picked up a knife and went up herself, and was able to fight the Z Gundam on equal terms. You must know that without the floater, Cabinet's combat power would be reduced by at least half, and at this time Camus had no way to deal with Cabinet.

Paptimas Scirocco should actually have the driving skills of a master, but Theo is not as advanced as Secret Thunder. Secondly, it seems that the only time he fought him was in a short one-on-one duel when they first met, and Red did not gain much advantage at that time.

Then Paptimus Sciroc was taken over by Angel. The machine's performance was not good, and Angel's skills were better than his, so one of his arms was broken. Later, it was Red and his wife who bullied the "disabled", and Paptimus Sciroc died in a very aggrieved way.

Therefore, the Hermes Zero could only be set to gears in the end. The maneuvering speed power of the first gear was set at a little over Mach 461.5, which was about the same as the maneuvering speed of the Dorakis III (the official data of the Dorakis III was given, and someone calculated that its theoretical maneuvering speed was m/s. Of course, in complex terrain, the Jagus Maches would not dare to drive so fast).

The second gear can reach Mach 3, and the third gear can reach the first cosmic speed in just a few tens of seconds.

Of course, this gear is only used in the earth environment. In the universe, as long as you are not afraid of death, any body in the CE universe that can continuously accelerate and has the energy to support it can slowly accelerate to the second cosmic speed.

However, even if it is accelerated to the first cosmic speed, few people dare to do this unless the cosmic route is cleared.

After all, the current density of space debris in the Earth's sphere does not allow battleships or MS to speed up so fast. They can only accelerate so fast on the planned and cleared space routes.

Like the original escape route of the Archangel, there were many places where Arnold Neumann could only slowly float into with his skills, let alone others.

However, due to the existence of the psychoacoustic cockpit, Red can change gears with just a thought. He can sprint in second gear first, switch back to first gear before accelerating to Mach 3, and then brake to attack.

In this way, the actual maneuvering speed can be controlled between Mach 1 and Mach 3 according to the situation, which is enough to crush all MS of the era in the original work.

To put it bluntly, even if flying at a speed of Mach 1, the ordinary MS aiming system cannot keep up, because in the time it takes for the machine to react after the person aims and shoots, Red may have already run two or three hundred meters away, making it impossible to hit the machine.

After all, in the CE universe, due to the interference of neutron jammers on various radio waves, MS shooting basically relies on machine aiming, and the chance of hitting is no less than using anti-aircraft guns to shoot at supersonic aircraft. Unless there is mindless fire coverage and the attack is dense to a certain extent, it is impossible to hit.

The Freedom Gundam is the same. As long as Red doesn't charge straight at it, the beams fired from its multi-locking system can only be fired at the back of the Hermes Zero. (It's no exaggeration. The multi-locking system of the Freedom Gundam can basically only bully soldiers with low mobility. It can't lock on the three little strong machines, and can only rely on Kira to attack normally.)

After the Hermes Zero's maneuverability test was completed, he rarely used the speed of Mach 3, and considering the operation in Alaska, he couldn't stay in the machine all the time.

Red also added an electronic camouflage system to the body of the machine. The main purpose of adding this system was to prevent himself from being exposed as a person on Earth after the battle. Some people in the Earth Alliance wanted to ambush and capture him when he was acting alone.

The last operation on Earth has proved that the existing detection equipment on Earth can hardly detect an aircraft with an electronic camouflage system activated at high altitudes. By then, at a speed of Mach 3, no one will be able to catch me.

Tim Ray said that the destroyer beam rifle is installed, a system that does not add much weight, can be hidden under the armor, and can be used for small-scale armor explosion when needed. Anyway, the electronic camouflage system does not require high heat dissipation and does not affect the body design.

Therefore, the Hermes Zero was considered to have been developed and could be officially used.

And it was a double happiness. After Red completed the development of the Hermes Zero, he saw that it was only a few days before ZAFT attacked the Alaska base. He was still thinking about how to trick the East Asian Republic into helping him secretly enter Alaska, but then he received a letter from the Earth Union.

When he opened it, he found that the letter was from Bakilulu. The content was simple, asking Red to save Marlu.

Honestly, it can be seen at this time that Baki Lulu is quite awkward. She is obsessed with the rules, but also wants to maintain her sensibility under the rules.

According to her, after returning to the Alaska base on May 5, the other members of the Archangel were placed under house arrest on the ship as in the original story, but Mariu was arrested on the spot.

Moreover, Bakilulu handed in the Archangel's log which recorded a large number of illegal operations by Mari.

Now, the Atlantic Federation is worried about not being able to find a suitable excuse to convict Malu. After all, they think it is Malu's fault that the New Mischi Republic can now use the G-Project technology so openly, because this technology could not have been leaked by ZAFT. Everyone knows that Patrick Sarah hates Red Isaac very much.

However, the reason why the Atlantic Federation military convicted Mariu was because he leaked the G-Project technology to Orb. After all, there was no way to officially convict Red.

The interior of Orb was riddled with holes, and the Atlantic Federation easily obtained verifiable evidence. The employees of Orb Aurora entered the Strike Gundam download data with tacit consent.

Therefore, the Atlantic Federation shamelessly counted the OS driving program that can be used by natural persons as its own secret technology. On the day of entering the Alaska base, Marlu was directly convicted by the military court for leaking important scientific and technological achievements of the military.

However, although Malu was convicted, he was still locked up in a single cell.

But the military's final punishment was not announced. It was not said whether it was death penalty or imprisonment for hundreds of years. It was just said that many senior military officials suggested that Malu had made some contributions and further discussion was needed, so he should be locked up first.

Then, on the second day after entering the Alaska base, Bakilulu and Mu received transfer orders from the military to be directly transferred away from the Archangel, resulting in the Archangel now not even having an acting captain. Arnold Neumann's rank of Sergeant Major became the highest ranker on the Archangel, and now he is barely managing the Archangel.

Bakilulu actually wanted to save Marlu. She looked for relatives and comrades in the Atlantic Federation in the Alaska base, hoping that they would use their connections to find more people with good words to help her release Marlu. But in the end, nothing was achieved. Her relatives also asked Bakilulu not to get involved in this matter, so as not to affect her career.

Finally, Mu couldn't stand it anymore and reminded Baki Lulu that she could ask Red for help. He used his own channels to mail the letter in Red's hand and delivered it to the Xinggong colony satellite as quickly as possible.

After reading the letter, Red immediately realized that the time was wrong. In the original work, the Archangel was left idle for several days after entering Alaska before being judged.

And now, Mariu was arrested on the same day, and then Bakilulu found someone to send a letter. Now on May 5th, the letter via the high-speed shuttle route has arrived in his hands. Originally, today should have been the day when Mariu would be tried.

Moreover, Red had originally intended to stop Bucky Lulu from leaving the Alaska base by using the money owed to her before she boarded the transport plane on May 5, but she was transferred on May 8. Now she is probably on her way to the moon.

As for why the Atlantic Federation military did not give Marlu a prison sentence, Red estimated that the Atlantic Federation had achieved its purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

At this time, the Atlantic Federation had already known from unknown channels that ZAFT's target of attack was the Alaska base, not Panama. They knew it earlier than the ZAFT officers.

Therefore, the Atlantic Federation military firmly believes that Marlu will die under the Cyclops system under the Alaska base. Naturally, there is no need to impose specific punishments. It can also allow the military top brass who pretend to speak for Marlu to gain a good reputation.

So Red did not hesitate, and took the letter to secretly find Ambassador Zhao Zhongjian stationed in the Xinggong colony satellite, and handed him the letter from Baki Lulu, and then while Zhao Zhongjian was reading the letter, he quickly said
"Ambassador Zhao, time is of the essence, so I will speak frankly. This Malu Ramyas has some connection with me. I want to rescue her, but I don't want to deal directly with the Atlantic Federation. So I want the East Asian Republic to help me sneak into the Alaska base to rescue her.

Of course, I won't let you save people in vain. I can provide a technical solution that can alleviate the energy consumption of PS armor as a reward.

Ambassador Zhao, this is really urgent, just give me a straight answer, if it's OK, then it's OK, if it's not OK, then it's not OK. "

After reading the letter, Zhao Zhongjian was actually a little amused and confused. He was urgently and secretly summoned by Red because he thought something big had happened, but it turned out that Red wanted to save his lover.

Yes, Zhao Zhongjian already thought that Malu was Red's lover, otherwise why would Red secretly look for him and be willing to use his technology to save her.

But the task Red had asked for was not a big deal. It was just to rescue a lieutenant from prison. The East Asian Republic could do it in a few minutes. And it would ensure that the Atlantic Federation would not be able to catch them.

So Zhao Zhongjian was ready to agree directly, because looking at Reid's attitude, if he refused or bargained, he would immediately turn around and leave. Anyway, the Eurasian Federation could help with this. Given the current state of the Eurasian Federation, it would definitely do Reid a favor, and Reid was not a freeloader.

So Zhao Zhongjian smiled and said
"Since Mr. Red is so sincere, we in the East Asian Republic naturally have to help our friend. But you don't have to go to the Alaska base in person. I can send a message back and it will be done."

When Red heard this, he was speechless. He knew that his real purpose was not to drink. So he shook his head and said
“No, Ambassador Zhao doesn’t know the situation between me and Malu. If the East Asian Republic goes to rescue us directly, she will think you are trying to steal her technology.

You have to know that she is the engineer who led the team to develop the PS armor, and she will definitely not cooperate with you. After all, her sentence has not been announced yet, and it is highly likely that she has not given up on the Atlantic Federation.

Moreover, Malu was not willing to go back to Xinggong with me at first, but this time I will go to rescue her personally, so I think she will definitely compromise."

When Zhao Zhongjian heard this, he felt that there was some truth in what Red said. The only thing he didn't expect was that the Atlantic Federation was willing to convict even such a talented person as the engineer who developed the PS armor.

As for why Malu originally refused to go back to Xinggong with Red, it's easy to guess. In Red's current state, how could he give her a legitimate status? She could only be his underground lover, and she was naturally unwilling to accept that.

So Red's motive of saving people in person to impress her is valid, but Red seems to be a little too sentimental. It seems that I still need to mention to the country that I want to recruit Red if I have a chance, and I may still have to use the honey trap.

So Zhao Zhongjian thought about it for a while and asked again

"Okay, since Mr. Red insists, how many people are you going to take with you? Let me make it clear first, if we want to conceal the Atlantic Federation's sneak in, we can't have too many people."

Seeing that Zhao Zhongjian agreed, Reid grinned decisively and said
"I can go down alone. The Aries will take me to the outer edge of the Earth, and then I will fly down alone in the MS. Oh, by the way, my cockpit can accommodate one more person, so for the convenience of communication, you can also send someone to go down with me."
