An advanced guide for experienced modelers, from building blocks to hand-building Gundams

"Everyone saw it. Everyone in the hangar watched as Ross used King's scraps and basic tools to create an adapter! It even charged faster than Assault."

"I finally believe now that there really are geniuses in the world who defy common sense."

Maru and Bakilu looked at each other.

"I'll go over and take a look."

……

Inside the Gnarkuli, there was a strange-looking device at the charging port of Jegan, and the other end was connected to the charging cable of the Archangel.

Jegan's armor was now fully deployed, and several Haro were sitting on a special maintenance platform, inspecting Jegan.

Christina, dressed in a white coat, was also holding a tablet connected to the cockpit, seemingly analyzing something.

When Mariu arrived at the hangar, he saw a group of people from the maintenance team looking at the devices as if they were aliens.

In fact, Mu only saw Ross finish making the adapter for charging Jegan and then left, but he did not see Ross's subsequent hands rubbing out the device for charging the beam rifle magazine. In front of the ghostly eyes of a group of people in the maintenance team, that very green-skinned device was placed next to Jegan to charge the beam rifle magazine.

When Rhodes began crafting certain machines, if they had specific appearances and functions, his subconscious would automatically match known technologies and make substitutions. Technologies considered "black technology" would appear in his mind as "I thought it should be like this." Meanwhile, machines without specific appearances, but only functional requirements, would be crafted as "I thought this thing could move."

Whether it's Jegan or these makeshift adapters, they were all created based on Ross's idea of "I think I can do it."

Suddenly, Christina, who was standing next to the cockpit door, saw Mariu coming here, narrowed her eyes, and spoke to Ross who was adjusting the values in the cockpit in a way that he could hear clearly but the volume was not loud.

"Roz, that vixen is after you again."

"?who?"

Ross was stunned. Where did he get to know these other women? Since arriving on the Archangel, he knew there were definitely no more than five women he'd been close to.

"...He's coming, Mu Tou. The rest of the time is up to you."

Christina looked at Ross's confused expression, sighed inexplicably, and walked to the side.

On the surface, Christina was looking at the data on the tablet, but in fact, she was secretly observing everything in front of her with her electronic prosthetic eyes.

Rhodes left the cockpit and walked to the passage in front of the cabin door.

At this moment, he saw Malu floating next to him.

"...How is the situation on your side now?"

Malu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she got to her lips she changed the subject to Jiegang.

Ross glanced at Christina, who seemed oblivious to what was happening outside, and then turned to speak to Mariu.

"Luckily you have a fairly complete set of tools here. Otherwise, if I had just used a wrench, it would have taken me quite some time to make these two adapters. Jiegang will be able to recover his fighting ability soon."

"Really? That's good."

Malu glanced at Jegan behind Ross, and for some unknown reason he pulled out a pair of headphones from his pocket.

"This is my communication headset. You can write down my contact number."

"If you need anything, just call me."

"crunch..."

The mournful cry of a tablet was heard nearby.

Christina nearly squeezed through the tablet in her hand.

PS: 6/10

Volume 1: Chapter 7 She just used a pencil! A damn pencil!

Although in Heliopos, both of ZAFT's high-speed battleships were damaged and had to return to ZAFT's homeland for repairs.

But ZAFT is a force rooted in the universe after all, and Cruze easily found a ZAFT fleet patrolling nearby.

After completing the data transfer of the four Gundams captured from the Earth Army, the two originally damaged battleships continued to head towards ZAFT's homeland, while Cruze took the pilots of the remaining four Gundams and transferred them to the patrol fleet along with the machines, preparing to continue the mission of destroying the Archangel and the Strike Gundam.

Although the people in the patrol fleet had some complaints, after confirming that the order was given from ZAFT, they accepted the fact that they were temporarily under Cruze's command.

Although the ZAFT parliament was relatively satisfied with the results of this special operation, it also praised the operation forces.

But at this moment, this group of Gundam pilots who should have been in the limelight were lowering their heads in the lounge, and a low pressure atmosphere filled the lounge.

"Damn... that cub..."

Isaac, with his white hair, squinted his eyes, wishing he could tear apart the Jegan that destroyed the thrusters on the two battleships with his bare hands.

There is no doubt that the in and out raid not only destroyed the battleship's propulsion system and part of the ship's guns, but even two of the emergency attack Jin were destroyed by Jegan. Such a result was like two loud slaps in the face of all the ZAFT red-clothed people present.

Although Yitzhak also wanted to get angry at Aslan, after reading the battle record, Yitzhak could only hold his anger in his stomach.

"Just wait, cub, until the next time we meet..."

"Okay, Isaac, don't be angry for now."

On the side, Nicole, with his green natural curly hair, stood in the center of the room, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Our first priority now is to find the 'Long Legs'. Besides, the 'Cub' should also be with the 'Long Legs'."

"Tsk... Diego, next time we encounter that 'cub', you and I will fight together."

It was obvious that Yitzhak had identified Jegan as a target that must be shot down.

"Yes, I know."

Diego, a dark-skinned young man with blond hair, leaned against the wall and gave Isaac a thumbs-up.

"By the way, Aslan, what are you thinking about?"

"...The one on the Strike Gundam was a childhood friend of mine. He had already immigrated to Orb."

Aslan sat in a chair, thinking solemnly.

"Did the Earth Army force your friend into riding that Gundam?"

Diego, who had been smiling all the time, also became serious.

No matter who you are, if you find your friends among the enemies on the battlefield, you will be confused.

"……I have no idea."

Aslan expressed his confusion very confidently.

"I just remembered that quite a few Adjusters have immigrated to Orb as well."

"You mean... you think the one sitting on the 'cub' is also an adjuster?"

Nicol couldn't help but frown when he heard this speculation.

"I wish not...but that fluid motion..."

Aslan scratched his head. Aslan, who should have been the calmest, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

As his friend faced off against him with swords, and someone who might be an Adjuster was also fighting against ZAFT, Aslan began to feel uneasy.

"...If you can't do it, leave it to me."

Isaac, who was originally angry, calmed down a little at this time.

"No matter who they are, when they stand against us, they are our enemies."

"What are our excellent pilots talking about here?"

At this moment, the door of the lounge opened and Cruze floated in.

"But no matter what everyone is talking about now, please go and prepare to attack."

"We've caught the tail of 'Long Legs'."

……

"So, you're really not an adjuster?"

Inside the Archangel's gunk, Mari breathed a sigh of relief.

The mere fact that they were preparing to capture Kira, an Adjuster, as a pilot after entering Artemis Fortress was already giving Mariu a headache. If Ross was also an Adjuster, Mariu might have to consider turning to other targets.

"I swear, even if I'm genetically tested, I'm a natural."

Ross raised his right hand helplessly.

In an era of space colonization, natural human genes will still undergo some changes in the space environment, but the overall magnitude is not significant, and genetic testing on Earth will also have a range. For those who adapt to the space environment, their genes will basically be adjusted at certain fixed points, making them easily detectable.

"New humans should also be natural people." Ross thought to himself.

"Okay... remember to lock the machine."

For some unknown reason, Malu said this.

Then, she seemed to realize something, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she made up an excuse to leave.

"What is this for..."

Ross scratched his head, not quite understanding what Mariu was thinking.

"Sure enough, you are a piece of wood."

Christina, who had been watching for a long time, shook her head.

"Artemis Fortress is under the management of the Eurasian Federation of the Earth Military, while the Archangel and Captain Malu belong to the Atlantic Federation. When they arrive at Artemis Fortress, there will definitely be some other problems."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

At this point, Rhodes understood. Ultimately, it was still a struggle between internal factions.

However, Ross had made some preparations long beforehand. Not only did Jiegang use the same authentication system as the Unicorn, scanning the driver's various physiological parameters, which could even scan capillaries. Even the connection port to the tablet was completely different from the universal interface. Even with the hastily constructed interface to read data, without the specific authentication code, a forced connection would burn out within 1.5 seconds.

After all, on the Gundam set, it was a common occurrence for Gundams to be driven away by others for various reasons. Although the Jegan might not be chosen to be driven away, Ross had decided to lock the machine long ago to avoid such a thing.

"There's nothing wrong with the machine. It's just that the leg skeleton is a little tired, and the battery is low."

Christina took back the special tablet and unplugged the data cable connected to Jigang.

Jegan buckled the armor, which had been unfolded for inspection, back onto the machine and locked it.

"Rods, you can't use Jegan's legs to kick other machines like you did before, otherwise the Jegan's leg skeleton will break."

"Okay, I understand. I'll pay attention."

Rhodes nodded and closed the cockpit door.

"Huh... I'm either fighting or doing maintenance. I'm starving now. Let's go eat together, Christina."

Before Christina could say anything, Roz took her hand and walked towards the cafeteria area.

In the cafeteria, a small group of civilians, while feeling uneasy, also took on the duties of chefs.

However, judging from the fact that sandwiches were the only item on the menu, the supplies on board were indeed limited.

……

"What's going on now?"

After stopping by the infirmary to check the wound on her shoulder, Mariu returned to the bridge.

While in the infirmary, an Orb civilian who was originally a surgeon was also shocked by the fact that Mariu's wound had completely scabbed over and was even beginning to grow new flesh. He kept saying things like "medical miracle" in the infirmary.

Although we have entered the space age, it will take two or three days to recover from a gunshot wound like Mariu's, even with the most advanced medical cabin.

As the doctor chattered on, Malu inexplicably thought of the emergency surgery that Ross had performed on her, or rather, the bottle of "ZAFF specialty healing spray" used after the surgery.

But unfortunately, the doctor replied, "I have never seen the so-called therapeutic spray, at least in the civilian field."

Malu brought his thoughts back to the present.

The Archangel has now made contact with the Artemis Fortress and is undergoing identity verification.

"We have preliminarily confirmed our identity as belonging to the Earth Army. So far, it seems that everything is going smoothly."

Bakilulu, on the side, is responsible for connecting with the person in charge of Artemis Fortress and has now obtained permission to enter.

"Don't let your guard down, Lieutenant Natal. We are not safe until we return to the Atlantic Federation."

Mu did not relax, on the contrary, he became alert at this time.

At this time, a call came in.

"This is Artemis Fortress, welcome, Archangel."
