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

Or was Erica doing it on purpose? After all, Mu and Mayura hadn't been hiding their relationship, and Erica was married, so maybe she was just having fun?

Rhodes had no idea, so he could only read the last data on the tablet, pull out the tablet and leave.

After all, what's coming up next is the legendary "domestic violence scene," and Rhodes needs to find a good spot to see the outcome.

……

PS: Today's update

I spent about half an hour today drawing a line drawing of a revised weapon. I can only say that there are some problems with the perspective.

But it's just a schematic after all, so there's probably nothing wrong with it.

My drawing skills have declined. Is it because of the game?

Volume 130: Chapter "Death Merchant" logos

At this time, in the test field next to the hangar, the Assault and three M1 Heretics all picked up their long-prepared training swords and were facing each other in a one-on-three posture.

"Although it hasn't been fully debugged yet, the current Assault's output is still much stronger than before..." Feeling the power that the Assault unleashed in the action just now after the nuclear battery was replaced, even Mu, who was already familiar with the Assault, felt a little unfamiliar.

"After initial debugging, getting the machine moving is no problem. However, even though the Assault has room for upgrades, the existing pipelines certainly can't fully utilize the nuclear battery's energy output. Further optimization will definitely be required." Ross's voice came over the comms. "Conducting a simulation training will also facilitate further debugging of the machine. After all, it's better to obtain more data from a battle than from self-speculation."

"Speaking of this... aren't you coming with us?" Seeing that Rhodes did not play, Mu was actually a little uncomfortable.

"This simulated battle is mainly to find data for you. My participation won't be of any substantial help." At this time, Rhodes had already come to the observation room wearing headphones.

He nodded and greeted the people in the observation room, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Besides... I'm designing a new backpack for you right now." Ross said as he opened a file on his tablet.

At this time, the tablet screen already had the rough outline of a backpack, and next to it was a photo of the Mobius Zero that Mu had previously piloted.

After watching Mu fight several times, Ross also felt that Mu was not able to fully utilize the fully armed assault. His past experience of piloting the Mobius Zero gave him almost no reference, so he had to start from scratch.

Although Mu is now able to operate the assault smoothly, he still lacks an armed backpack that can unleash his full strength. After the battle with the library, Ross also had some ideas about this.

It just so happened that Cagalli, on behalf of Orb, decided to aid the currently nameless alliance, and Ross also happened to add some weapons to Mu's assault.

"Oh, does that mean there will be new weapons soon?" Hearing Ross's words, Mu in the cockpit widened his eyes in surprise.

"Yes, because Orb has signed a cooperation agreement with Lacus, and while Orb's economy has been severely impacted, we can still provide you with financial support," Cagalli said over the comms. "Both Orb and everyone here have gathered with the hope of ending the war. After all, if the war doesn't end..."

Cagalli didn't finish her words, but everyone had already imagined all sorts of gloomy and worst-case scenarios.

"Anyway, let's start the simulation training without further ado." At this time, Erica spoke from the side.

"Then I'm going to do it!" Mu grinned, controlled the assault, raised the shield, and rushed towards the three M1 Heretics in front of him.

"Even if I change the battery, I won't necessarily become much stronger." Looking at the Assault rushing towards her, Mayura, who was sitting in the M1 Heretic, smiled confidently and raised her shield.

Ever since the video of Ross attacking the torso cockpit area in every battle circulated in Orb, Orb has made it mandatory for all mobile suit pilots to "keep the enemy within their sight and ensure that the shield can protect the cockpit."

After seeing Ross's fancy use of the shield, Orb even specially wrote a method for using the MS shield.

From then on, Orb's soldiers developed the habit of "raising their shields first when in doubt." It is said that the MS Research Center is also trying to add weapons to the shields.

"Bang..." The training sword in Mayura's M1 Heretic's hand hit the shock's shield. The other two M1 Heretics circled around the shock's side, one on the left and one on the right, waving their training swords.

If it was the previous Assault, the charge might have stopped, but now Assault actually used the shield to hold the training sword and pushed the M1 Heretic out.

……

"Roz, who do you think will win next?"

Just as Ross was drawing enthusiastically on the blueprint, Lux's voice rang out in the observation room.

Ross paused, looked up at the situation in the observation room, and the other five people in the observation room were looking at Ross, wanting to hear his opinion.

After all, apart from seeing that Mu's operation is much more courageous than before, it seems that the overall battle situation is still that Mu is suppressed.

"...Mu will win." Ross made his judgment after a quick glance. "Although he's still getting used to the performance of his enhanced machine, it's clear he's consciously trying to avoid being surrounded."

"Besides... when both teams' piloting skills are similar, the performance of the machine is one of the most important factors in determining victory or defeat." After saying this, Ross looked at Kira and Athrun. "Kira and Athrun should understand this."

"...Yes, if it weren't for the excellent performance of the assault, I might have died." Thinking back to his past battles, Kira shook his head helplessly.

Although he now had a desire for power, he still followed what Ross had said before, and tried not to attack the enemy's cockpit, but instead attacked their limbs to make them unable to move.

But it seems... this idea is no longer realistic now?

……

In a conference room in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Findersen, a figure was sitting calmly in a seat, drinking coffee brought by a maid from the palace.

"It's not easy to meet a busy man like you." At this time, the door of the conference room opened, and Aoife, still wearing a gorgeous dress, walked in and closed the door.

"After all, you're on Earth, and we're in space." Durandal, sitting on a chair, put down his coffee cup, smiled habitually, and looked at Offee. "Besides, all ZAFT forces on Earth have been driven out. Now you're our only hidden stake on Earth."

"Well, if you don't want your undercover agents to be exposed, you'll have to keep a low profile for now." Recalling the meeting with the Blue Cosmos guys just now, Orphee's face darkened. "Although the port of Trinton was abandoned due to the attacks of the Archangel and the Unicorn, and most of the Blue Cosmos investment was withdrawn, there are still some factories left, and now is the time to deliver."

In order to cover the Minerva's entry into the Kingdom of Findersen, Offie took great pains to hide the Minerva from under the noses of the Earth Union and Blue Cosmos.

However, Durandal was not angry about Orphee's rebellious behavior of pretending to cooperate with Blue Cosmos in front of him, but just nodded.

"Back to the topic, I have already found out what you asked me to investigate." Orphee recalled what Durandal asked him to investigate. Or rather, there was no need to investigate at all. When he reached a cooperation with Blue Cosmos and started building the factory, the answer was already in his hands.

"LOGOS, the organization known as the 'Merchants of Death'... the driving force behind the Blue Cosmos, and also the instigator of this war." Offee casually placed a folder on the desk and pushed it in front of Durandal. "After the large-scale mobile suit manufacturing plant was built in the Findersen Kingdom, a large number of instruments marked 'LOGOS' were delivered. These people are also trying to persuade us to buy their mobile suits, and the prices are ridiculous. They simply treat us like fools."

Durandal said nothing, casually flipped open the folder in front of him, and raised his eyebrows at the information on it.

"It seems... my suspicions have been partially confirmed." Durandal closed the folder and looked at Orphee. "You completed your mission well. Plant will continue to provide you with assistance."

"If there's nothing else, I have to leave."

After getting the folder, Durandal couldn't wait to convert the Minerva and its crew into his supporters.

"By the way, remember not to wander around and don't reveal your ZAFT identity."

When Durandal walked to the door of the conference room, Aoife, who had been looking at Durandal, spoke.

"I don't want Blue Cosmos to accuse us of harboring ZAFT just because you're discovered." At this point, Offi shook her head and sighed. "Several small nations have already been 'purged' for this very reason, leaving not even their names behind."

"We understand what you're worried about." Durandal paused, then reached out, pushed open the door of the conference room, and left.

PS: Today's update

I was recently recommended Persona and am planning to buy a Persona 3 to try it out. I'm also planning on playing all three installments, Persona 345, Persona , and Persona . However, there seem to be so many different versions of Persona , Persona , and Persona . Which versions should I buy to experience all three? Any recommendations?

To be honest, P3 seemed to have been released in 06. At that time, there was a method of awakening the personality mask by shooting yourself in the head with a pistol. It was really too trendy. Even now, this idea is still as good as before.

Volume 131: Chapter Durandal: The theories of the AD century are still applicable in the Universal Century!

It was already noon, and under the sun, the temperature on the streets of the Kingdom of Findersen had risen a lot.

The previously devastated port of Trinton has been cleaned up, but repairs have not yet been carried out. Factory buildings and weapon wreckage that were dissolved by beam magnums or Flame God beam cannons can be seen everywhere.

Several young-looking men and women, dressed in the uniforms of the Findershen Kingdom's logistics troops, were watching the wreckage of the Turlington Port.

Zhen, wearing a hat, looked at the ruins of the factory building that was affected by the Unicorn's Magnum Beam in the video footage, and reached out to touch the steel structure that was still in a melted state.

Not far away was the glassy ground, which had been melted by the Magnum beam and then cooled and solidified again, sparsely reflecting the faint sunlight.

"This is... the unicorn's attack power..."

I felt the touch of the steel structure in my hand, which had melted beyond recognition. It was as if I could see through the cold temperature and feel the temperature of the steel structure when it melted. My eyes widened.

"It's like hell." Luna looked at everything in front of her and shuddered subconsciously. "Does this monstrous mobile suit really exist in this world?!"

It was a mistake. I shouldn't have joined the fun. Instead of coming here to see the ruins, I should have gone back to the Minerva to practice sniping.

Luna really couldn't understand. She was supposed to be a vanguard driving a combat machine, but why did she end up being a defender holding a sniper gun?

This feeling is just like when playing EXVS, controlling a 00R to fight against the defender. Luna's current sniping level can only be said to be green lock if it is a little far away. If it is not a large target like a battleship, the hit rate is quite touching.

"But it does exist. We even once appeared near an agricultural colony satellite, and we observed it in action." Lei extended his right foot and tentatively stepped on the glassy ground. The contact surface made a slight creaking sound. "Honestly... leaving us aside, even the renowned Captain Cruze is no match for that machine right now..."

"Lei, how can you say that..." Luna subconsciously wanted to interrupt Lei's words. Although there were only three of them here, if others heard it, Lei might be put in solitary confinement for "disturbing military morale" or even brought to a military court.

"It's a very reasonable inference. Even if Cruze were here, he wouldn't feel anything was wrong."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind them, causing Luna to freeze, like an unoiled machine.

"Senator Di...Senator Durandal!" Luna turned around suddenly and saluted Durandal.

"No need to be polite. Neither I nor Cruze will be angry about what Ray just said. After all, he's absolutely right." Durandal, still in his council uniform and holding a folder, walked slowly toward the three of them. "After all, ever since piloting the 'Phantom Beast I-Type,' this 'Amuro' has outmaneuvered Cruze several times."

"But if Captain Cruze has a dedicated machine...should he be able to win?" Lei frowned when he heard Durandal's words and thought for a long time before making this guess.

"Actually, I'm not sure. After all, the Dragoon system on Cruze's dedicated machine has been significantly modified." Durandal shook his head. "You've probably seen it before. They cracked the Dragoon system in a fraction of the time, completely seizing it and turning the tables... Against such an enemy, a wire-controlled cannon that guarantees complete control is best."

"About this... I have a question." At this time, Lei looked at Durandal. "Why does that library have a dragoon system?"

"Spies and insiders are everywhere, let alone partners. It's just that they spent a lot of money," Durandal said casually, avoiding the topic. "By the way, come with me."

Taking the three young men around in the ruins of Port Trinton, all they saw were ruins of all kinds, some caused by Unicorns, some caused by Assault, but most of them were caused by those giant MS.

Finally, after turning out from a wall, the endless sea appeared before their eyes.

The ground was shattered, leaving holes or long cut marks, revealing the soil underneath. Many newly grown weeds swayed slightly in the sea breeze.

Seagulls soared on the sea breeze over the destroyed pier, which now only had four visitors. Unfortunately, they certainly couldn't find their favorite French fries here.

"It's amazing, isn't it... the power of nature." Facing the sea breeze, Durandal sighed, "In just such a short time, this place has been restored from a hellish scene to this state."

"It's really... spectacular." Looking at the scene in front of him, where plants had invaded every corner because no one was active, and the seagulls that were foraging here with their cries, Lei subconsciously widened his eyes.

Luna was speechless at this time.

Although I saw a lot of ruins before, now seeing this scenery, it is worth the price of admission.

"If this place had been abandoned for a few more years, the scene would have been even more shocking." Durandal shook his head. "Unfortunately, according to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Findersen's subsequent plans, this place still needs to be redeveloped. After all, the investment is quite large."

"Also, the main force behind the construction of Trinton Harbor wasn't the Findersen Kingdom." Durandal shook his head, but a barely perceptible smile played on his lips. "The main investor in Trinton Harbor was an organization called 'Blue Cosmos.' They might be more familiar to you, since they were involved in the attack on Orb."

"...Blue Cosmos?" Hearing this unfamiliar name and the news that it had participated in the attack on Orb, Zhen lost his previous calm expression and frowned. "I haven't heard of it."

"An extremist organization with deep roots in the Atlantic Federation of the Earth Union. They were responsible for the massive mobile suit 'Chamberlain' used in the initial attack on Orb, as well as the three new mobile suits used during the subsequent Orb retreat." Durandal flipped through the documents in his hand. "Plus, this port is Cosmos' largest investment project. I now have reason to believe that Unicorn is targeting Cosmos."

"Blue Cosmos...are they them?" Hearing what Durandal said, Zhen subconsciously clenched his fists.

"But this morning, during my meeting with the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Findersen, I also heard some interesting news." Durandal casually flipped a page in a folder, turned around, and presented a report to the three young men. "Logos, the military-industrial complex known as the Merchants of Death, is the secret funder of Blue Cosmos. The nuclear bomb that attacked Julius 7 was funded by them."

"They probably wanted to stir up some local wars to make a fortune, but they didn't expect it to end up like this." Durandal sighed. "But now, I guess these people have made a lot of money. The confrontation not long ago was just a temporary relief for both sides."

"For the sake of profit... have you completely disregarded what the world will become?" After hearing Durandal's words, Lei and Luna's faces looked very ugly.

"When there's a 50% profit, capital will take risks; when there's a 100% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws; when there's a 300% profit, capital will commit any crime, even risking hanging." Durandal observed the three young men calmly. "The classic theories of the century before the Universal Century and the century AD still apply to this today."

"Those guys...those guys..." After hearing the intelligence that Durandal had obtained through his investigation of the Findersen Kingdom, as well as the news that was quite shocking to him, he felt as if his heart was ignited by anger.

A destroyed country, dead parents, a sister who can only move with the help of prosthetic limbs and may even have developed some kind of mental illness and has to take medication for life... Each and every thing is like fuel, constantly feeding into real anger.

I really developed murderous intentions towards this logos and blue cosmos that I had never met before.

"The reason I'm telling you all this is to let everyone know who our real enemy is and to find a way to end this war." Durandal looked at the young people in front of him. Their reactions at this time were basically within his expectations... But were their reactions really too big?

Thinking this, he closed the folder. "We've found one of the puzzle pieces that will lead to the ending, but there are still some missing pieces, hidden in the fog."

"...It seems everyone already knows the reason for the fight." Durandal narrowed his eyes. It seemed like he'd been a bit overexcited so far. "So we must remain calm and gradually uncover those who are hiding behind the scenes and disrupting this world."

"Let's stop here for today. I've been thinking about a lot of things and almost forgot about this matter." After saying that, Durandal rummaged through his pockets.

"This is the Findersen Kingdom ID card I obtained specifically from the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Findersen." Durandal casually took out three cards and handed them to the three young men in front of him. "This may be the last time for you to relax. I don't know what the next battle will be like. Take these ID cards, don't expose yourself, and relax for a while."

PS: I still overestimated my typing speed on my phone. I guess there will only be one update today, and the other one may have to be postponed to tomorrow.

My computer is not with me, so I can only type on my mobile phone today, but I can type on my computer tomorrow.

Damn, my playlist has been filled with Persona, and I’ve become a captive of the P series.

Volume 132: Chapter : Five Elbows in One Second, the New Elbow King: Stella (Overwater Version)

The Kingdom of Findersen, an unknown port.

As a coastal country, Findersen naturally has more than one port, Trinton. However, due to its large area and high investment, Trinton Port has a greater reputation.

With the destruction of the Port of Terlington, Blue Cosmos' investment has decreased, and some of the business that originally belonged to the Port of Terlington has now been diverted to other ports.
