Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 484 Fortress Microwave Transmitter
The changes in the situation in Europe and Africa are actually a reflection of a new round of territorial division among other major countries.

In fact, both PLANT and the East Asian Republic knew that if they did not take advantage of the current war to increase their strength and expand their territory, their countries would not be able to compete with the New Mischi Kingdom in the future.

Of course, the two countries have considered weakening the New Mischi Kingdom, but now the New Mischi Kingdom has the power to destroy the Atlantic Federation, and no one dares to provoke it. Even if they want to do something shady, the two countries want the other party to be the first to take action.

In this regard, the patience of the East Asian Republic is much greater than that of PLANT. At least now, Red must be more dissatisfied with ZAFT, which occupied the former Mexican region.

But in fact, Red is now just watching the fight between two tigers from the mountain. It will take a few months for the Atlantic Federation to stabilize. It is not suitable to start a war during this period. He can do something else during these months.

For example, Red decided to take Angel and Noin, who had worked hard for several months, back to the Xinggong colony satellite for a vacation.

Of course, in reality, it was definitely not just Red and the other two who were going. Salia and Hilda, who had been guarding Noin, Angel's best friend Salamantini, and the Xia sisters would all go. The permanent staff on the Gulanshao would naturally follow as well.

However, with Red's current position, even if he goes on vacation, it will not be just for rest. The main purpose of going to the Star Palace colony satellite this time is to test new machines and install satellite microwave transmitters for the Artemis Fortress.

So this time, the Gulanshao led the return trip, bringing dozens of Antietam-class cargo ships.

People who didn't know might think that Red was planning to transfer the treasure looted from the Atlantic Federation to the Star Palace colony satellite.

But in fact, these Antietam-class cargo ships are all filled with parts needed for microwave transmitter-related systems.

During Red's attack on the Atlantic Federation, the indigenous factory in Xinggong City was not idle, and equipment related to microwave transmitters was being built and assembled.

To restore the original microwave generator, a huge space is needed. The Gulanshao cannot accommodate it at all. The Balki can install it, but the internal structure must be completely rebuilt, which is obviously not suitable now.

There are only a few options for installation.

One is to follow the original plot and install it directly on the moon.

The Earth cannot be installed here because the Earth's atmospheric environment may cause the induction laser to be unable to accurately lock onto the body. This is why the moon must be clearly visible every time the moonlight cannon is used on Earth in the animation.

The second is to install it on a large fortress.

The large fortress here must be of the same level as the Balki and have a large amount of transformable space.

The third is to install it on a specially made colony satellite

The size of the colony satellite is definitely enough to accommodate microwave transmitters and related equipment, but the colony satellite is too fragile. It is better to build a new Balki than to build a fortress directly, so this plan was directly rejected.

After all this calculation, Red finally decided to install the microwave transmitter on the Artemis Fortress.

The most famous equipment of Artemis Fortress is the Umbrella of Artemis. As an early light wave defense belt, it requires an incredible amount of energy to build a shield that covers the entire fortress.

Therefore, a large amount of energy storage space was designed inside the Artemis Fortress, and it is equipped with multiple laser nuclear fusion reactors.

However, with the advancement of technology, the early Artemis Umbrella system can actually be eliminated.

The current light wave defense belt technology can achieve 1.5 times the original defense effect with less than one-third of the original energy.

In addition, Red has the AC micro-nuclear fusion reactor technology, and the Artemis Fortress has long been replaced with a super-large fusion reactor of the same type, so the energy supply is extremely abundant.

Technological advances in energy storage equipment are also reducing the internal space required.

So later Red directly transformed the Artemis Fortress and added three sets of super-large nuclear thrusters to it, turning the originally immobile fortress into a mobile fortress.

But even so, the energy of Artemis Fortress is still in excess, and there is a lot of space inside.

So Red planned to install the microwave transmitter directly on the Artemis Fortress and upgrade its wave level at the same time.

The energy storage equipment is directly replaced with an ultra-large photonic battery pack, which increases the capacity while significantly reducing the occupied space again.

This way, Artemis Fortress will have enough space to install microwave transmitters.

A mobile microwave transmitter would be much more of a deterrent than one fixed on the moon.

Moreover, this microwave generator can also add a super main gun to Artemis Fortress, a fortress famous for its defense.

There has actually always been a question in the Gundam world, that is, if the satellite microwave cannon is so powerful, why don't they just install a cannon directly on the moon, but instead go through the trouble of injecting energy into the body through microwaves and then firing it out.

In fact, this question is easy to answer. It is a question of range and angle.

The AW universe doesn't have very advanced energy storage technology. Even the Gundam DX can only store the satellite microwave cannon energy required for three bursts after receiving one microwave.

The energy stored under the microwave transmitter on the moon is an astronomical figure. After all, in the Seventh Space War, this system could charge more than a dozen satellite microwave cannons at a time.

Therefore, the microwave transmitters that the AW universe needs a lot of energy storage equipment cannot be installed in the fortress like Red, and can only be fixed in the base on the moon.

Once the weapon is fixed, the shooting angle will inevitably be limited.

At this time, X Gundam and other machines equipped with satellite microwave cannon weapons are the best transit stations, and they can also increase the range significantly.

The principle here is the same as that of the Requiem relay node. The huge energy requires the transfer point to change direction in order to achieve an attack with no blind spots.

By the same token, even if the Artemis Fortress can be moved, don't expect it to move very fast.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. If a satellite microwave cannon is needed, it would be embarrassing if the Artemis Fortress cannot move to the shooting angle.

So Red also chose to equip himself with a microwave launcher. After all, the original microwave launcher was powerful enough at close range, and its range was comparable to that of the Genesis during the First World War.

Of course, since the original microwave transmitter is to be installed on the Artemis Fortress, a corresponding body equipped with a satellite microwave cannon is naturally needed.

This machine is the new one this time. Red used the Wing Zero as the prototype and built a composite machine equipped with the same backpack as the Strike Freedom and the Gundam DX Satellite Microwave Cannon.

Since this machine has too many super weapons, GN particles have a side effect on it, so Red did not equip it with a solar furnace.

Instead, a purely brute force combination of a double Ahab reactor, an AC nuclear fusion reactor, and a photon battery pack was chosen.

Therefore, the Strike Freedom backpack does not have a dragoon system, but a fully enhanced light wheel thruster to ensure that the body can fly normally in the atmosphere. Of course, for the sake of structural stability, the Wing Zero's MA form Red was also cancelled, just to ensure the absolutely violent firepower output.

As for how violent the firepower is, the photon battery pack in this body is specially designed to serve the satellite microwave cannon weapon.

This photon battery pack can ensure that even without the charging of the microwave transmitter, the machine can still fire a shot with a range of up to 380,000 kilometers. The unit output is comparable to the full-power satellite microwave cannon of the colonial satellite laser. However, after firing a shot, it will take a full half an hour to charge the machine alone.

Of course, the satellite microwave cannon can also be used as an ordinary heavy ion beam cannon during the charging period, but continuous use will further extend the charging time.

The weapon in his hand is the Wing Zero's double-barreled destroyer beam cannon. There is no need to elaborate on the power of this thing.

In terms of range and unit damage, the double-barreled destroyer beam cannon is not as good as the satellite microwave cannon, but in terms of killing area, a random bombardment can produce a beam of light with a diameter of 30 meters. The double-barreled destroyer beam cannon, which can also rotate quickly, is much stronger than the satellite microwave cannon, which can only fire in one direction, has an extremely slow angle of transfer, and its effective killing area drops sharply when the distance is close.

However, with these two energy-intensive weapons, the other weapons of this machine are purely auxiliary.

The two guns on the waist are the same electromagnetic guns as the Freedom Gundam. Since a microwave receiver needs to be installed on the chest, the Vulcan cannon is returned to the head.

There are two universal missile launchers inside the left hand shield, and the shield has a CE beam shield.

The last two beam swords are the same high-energy large beam swords as Gundam DX.

As for special systems, this machine has the same systems as other special-purpose machines, plus it has a clairvoyance system and an eye-shading umbrella system.

The special burst system is not installed on this machine because the energy card is already at its limit. If the special burst system is installed, the machine will probably explode on the spot.

This machine was finally named Gundam DX Zero by Red, and its pilot was Hilda, who accompanied and escorted Noin throughout the war.

Of course, since Hilda got a new super machine, Salia Red couldn't favor one over the other, so Red also developed a new machine for her.

Salia's machine is well designed. Anyway, it will definitely not appear in the future theatrical versions, so Red just made the Ascension Freedom appear, but the whole machine turned blue.

However, when talking about ascending freely, Red actually only referred to the appearance.

First of all, this machine is a hybrid power unit of solar furnace and photon battery.

However, this time the solar furnace is only for the anti-gravity effect of GN particles, so it is only a single furnace, and the main power is provided by the photon battery pack.

The machine has its own microwave charging system, so as long as it is near the Gulansao, there is no need to worry about energy shortage.

Even if a machine acts alone, the solar furnace can still charge its power, but it will charge more slowly and will not cause the machine to fall into a state of lack of energy.

In terms of armament, since the photon battery is a superior alternative to the Minovsky particle nuclear reactor, the backpack of this machine uses the Wings of Light system.

The maximum speed can reach the level of a one-way trip to Jupiter in one week, but don't expect the battery-powered machine to have the endurance to reach Jupiter.

But the Wings of Light combined with the anti-gravity of the GN Solar Reactor give the machine exaggerated maneuverability, which is very suitable for Salia's fighting style.

In terms of armament, the dual high-energy beam rifles in his hands have not changed, and both arms also have beam shields with PS armor arm armor.

However, the 400mm ultra-high pulse cannon that was originally folded back from the wing is gone because of the Wings of Light system. Instead, the two railguns on the waist are replaced with magnum beam cannons.

As for the two mounting points on the backpack in the middle of the Wings of Light, Red replaced them with two Super GN Swords.

This Ascension Freedom comes with the Sword Immortal System. These two Super GN swords can be used directly as floating blades and are also very convenient to pull out.

It can be said that if the Gundam DX Zero is a machine with ultimate firepower, this new version of the Ascension Freedom is an assault-type machine with ultimate maneuverability.

When Red designed the Destiny Gundam for Shin, he also took balance into consideration. This Ascending Freedom Gundam crushes the enemy with its extreme speed on the battlefield.

Salia and Hilda were naturally very happy to receive the new machines. They never came out of the cockpits on the way to the Star Palace colony satellite and were fighting simulated battles almost the entire time.

However, Angie was definitely unhappy when she saw that her former friend had a new machine.

Compared with the two new machines, the Ice Phoenix Gundam seems to have only the advantage of having more dual solar reactors and the Trans-Am, and its other basic performance is a bit behind.

Angel was unhappy, and Red was always unlucky. In addition, Noin had not been seen for a long time and was quite thirsty. Everyone used dragon genes to strengthen themselves. Along the way, Red felt that his waist was not working again.

However, it’s not that Red is unwilling to build Angel’s body, it’s just that it can’t be built now.

Red has already made up his mind that Angel's new machine must be equipped with the Convergent Space-Time Cannon, otherwise it would be better not to build it.

Because once the relevant technology is broken through, Red will definitely give priority to building a Gundam version of Villkiss for Angel.

Red is now waiting to see whether Tim Ray's annihilation engine can be successfully developed. If not, Red will have to consider referring to the logic of the satellite microwave cannon to help Angel unlock the convergent space-time cannon.

Angie wasn't an unreasonable person, so after Red's explanation, her unhappiness subsided. This was definitely not the reason why Red was on the verge of malnutrition.

After arriving at the Star Palace colony satellite, Red settled the others and arranged for people to transform the Artemis Fortress.

Red himself went to see the first unfinished project of the New Mischi Kingdom in the outside world, an "abandoned" colonial satellite that has actually been transformed into a colonial satellite laser cannon.

Red had a hunch that the time would soon come for the colony satellite laser cannon that had been hidden for nearly three years to be activated.

The Atlantic Federation does not have the power to threaten the security of the L3 space domain, but ZAFT definitely has the power to threaten the security here.

In the future, if Durandal turns against us and wants to attack the L3 colony satellite cluster while the main forces of the New Mischi Kingdom's space army are all on Earth, this cannon will be able to give the invading ZAFT a big surprise.

After confirming that the colony satellite laser cannon, which was disguised as an unfinished project, was functioning normally, Red went to the nearby experimental research station to check on Celene's team.

The Planet Explorer Gundam (a machine of the same type as the Stargazer Gundam) has already entered the testing phase, and according to reports, Celene plans to send this machine to Mars alone to test whether there are still problems with the logic of long-distance automatic scientific research.

Red and Angie's mission this time is to witness the departure of the Planet Explorer Gundam.
