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

"It's just a show. Just drive them away. Don't kill them, Shura." Aoife said to Shura in a separate communication channel. "The other pilot seems to have quite good skills. Let's just treat him as an appetizer."

"Huh...Huh...I understand." Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Shura pushed the joystick. "Shura, Black Knight, attack."

To be honest, Shura felt a headache when he had to hold back in the battle, but unfortunately, Aoi was the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Findersen and his current direct superior, so he had to obey his orders.

The Black Knight's paint seemed to disappear into the night as it flew towards the border waters of the Kingdom of Findersen. The entire journey was quite peaceful.

Until he crossed the dilapidated port of Trinton, he seemed to think of the previous battle with the unicorn. The feeling of powerlessness made Shura grit his teeth, his face tense, and the anger in his heart was unparalleled.

"I see..." At this moment, Shura saw the two sides fighting in the distance.

It will take some time for the Earth Army to arrive. Now it is mainly the rapid reaction force formed by Offie not long ago that is fighting with the Minerva. Several Daggers have had their hands and feet chopped off and fell into the sea.

However, when Shura saw Pulse fighting in the sky, the familiar and patterned face made him, who had been relatively rational, feel like a nerve was broken in his head.

"Unicorn... Unicorn..." Looking at the pulse of the "meal replacement" identified as a unicorn on the cockpit screen, Shura's expression twisted. "It's the face of a unicorn!"

By stepping on the pedal, the Black Knight's speed increased a lot. Even in his driving suit, Shura could still clearly feel the powerful G-force.

"Not enough... not enough yet. We can't catch up with the unicorn at this speed!"

In order to catch up with the unicorn, Shura specially strengthened the thrusters of his Black Knight, but now he has clearly reached the limit of what his body can bear, and still has not reached the speed of the unicorn in the video footage.

He drew out the heavy slashing sword with his left hand, and a blade composed of lasers appeared on the blade. The scarlet single eye ignored the red and white Zaku warriors, locked onto the pulse that was circling between the daggers, and slashed it down with one blow.

"Aaaaaah... What is this?" The sudden appearance of the black knight in front of him startled Shin, who was driving the Pulse. He quickly raised his shield to block the heavy blow.

"With a face like a unicorn...don't run away!" Shura no longer cared about orders.

Now all he could see was Pulse's unicorn-like face.

PS: Today's update

Tomorrow is Christmas, and it's time to come up with some Gundam-themed Christmas pictures.

Volume 136: Chapter Shura: Pulse is an excellent meal replacement

There is no doubt that in today's world where PS armor and beam weapons are popular, the FT armor that focuses on resisting beams can be said to be a first-sight killing weapon. Almost no one can find a solution when the mechanism is restrained and defeat the Black Knight equipped with FT armor.

Except for the Unicorn, or its previous generation machine, the Narrator Gundam labeled "Phoenix", the pilot of it found the weakness of the first Black Knight in just a few minutes of the first sight, and when the PS armor "revived" to yellow, he easily killed the first Black Knight.

After switching to the Unicorn, just one shot from the beam rifle was enough to easily destroy the Black Knight, allowing Shura to see his own helplessness.

The anger in his heart continued to burn, and Shura felt that he was about to be swallowed up by this anger towards himself and the unicorn.

Although the organism in front of you is not a unicorn, it is a good choice to eat a meal replacement first, defeat it severely, and calm your inner anger.

"Who made you have a face like a unicorn!" Shura shouted. The black knight, who was specially adjusted for close combat, waved the heavy sword in his hand and kept slashing at Pulse's shield.

The melee-specific modification of Shura's Black Knight was a choice made by the Findersen Kingdom's MS Research Institute after studying the Unicorn's fighting style.

Although there were cases of Black Knights being slaughtered in close combat during the "Phoenix" era, considering that the "Phoenix" at that time also used a large number of beam shots to overload the FT armor, and the Unicorn's current performance seems more like a medium- and long-range general-purpose machine, the conclusion was drawn that "close combat is beneficial to me."

As long as they could engage in close combat and seal off the Unicorn's powerful beam rifle, it wouldn't be a big deal. At least that's what the Findersen Kingdom's MS Research Institute thought.

But there is a very important problem now, that is, Shura and the Black Knight cannot keep up with the flying speed of the unicorn, or in other words, Shura cannot adapt to the G-force generated by the speed of the unicorn even if he tries his best.

"Ah, the beam rifle has no effect... Is it made of some kind of shield material?" Zhen was completely unaware that there was something wrong with the Black Knight's armor, and could only use his air combat backpack to deal with the Black Knight.

However, after confirming that the beam rifle attack was ineffective, it actually aroused his true instincts.

"I don't know what's going on with this pitch-black MS, but I'll just chop it down!" Shin seemed to be holding up his shield to resist the Black Knight's attacks, which made him very angry.

"Meiling, give me the sword backpack!" Instead of continuing to retreat to relieve the impact of the slash, Pulse held up the shield and rushed towards the black knight.

As we all know, a slashing attack requires a sufficient space to exert force. After the pulse shield hit the black knight, the slashing attack was resolved.

"Shield... As expected, there's his shadow!" Looking at the application of the pulse to the shield in front of him, Shura was not affected by the sudden impact. Instead, he laughed wildly and controlled the Black Knight's right hand, which was still holding the beam rifle, to smash it on the shield.

The beam rifle's grip collided with the shield, and Shura raised his right hand, allowing the beam rifle to pass over the shield.

Seeing the beam rifle appear in his sight over the shield, Shin did not panic at this time. He just subconsciously pushed the shield upwards, and the angle of the pedal under his feet kept changing.

The Black Knight's right hand was hit by the top of Pulse's shield, causing his movement to be slightly deformed. Pulse then passed by the Black Knight and kept some distance.

The shield shrank and turned back into the small shield on Pulse's arm. After the air combat backpack confirmed the program, it automatically detached and flew back to the Minerva.

The sword backpack that had been waiting for a long time quickly flew to the back of Pulse and completed the docking.

After Shura finished adjusting the machine, he saw that when the PS armor was turned back on, the machine was pulsing red.

"Red... red... yes, unicorns are also red!" Seeing the sword backpack change to a red pulse, Shura was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. "Sure enough, you are the best meal replacement!"

The black knight raised the heavy slashing sword in his hand. Shura didn't care about the pulse that had already drawn out the two ship-slashing swords, and suddenly stepped on the pedal.

Although he couldn't catch up with the speed of the unicorn, Shura's Black Knight's current assault speed was quite good, at least it was quite eye-catching on this battlefield.

Although it did not drag a stream of red light like the unicorn, the blue tail flame still dragged a little. The Black Knight rushed to Pulse's side at an extremely fast speed, and the heavy sword in his hand chopped the blade of the ship-slashing sword at an extremely fast speed. At the moment of the collision of the beam blades, "sparks" formed by particles were emitted, like a gorgeous firework in the sky.

Although the attack was blocked, Shura did not stop. Instead, he avoided the pulse, flew a short distance, and then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the back of the pulse.

"Ugh..." Feeling the FG force generated by the sudden change of direction, Shura clenched his teeth.

Not enough, not enough. How can I keep up with the unicorn at this speed? How can I fight that guy?!

Thinking of this, Shura slightly exerted force on the pedal, pressing the pedal a little deeper, and the thruster flames behind the Black Knight also slightly increased.

Almost subconsciously, Asuka raised Pulse's left hand, with the ship-slashing sword on his back, and the beam blade pointed at the speeding black knight.

"Bang..." An impact far more violent than before came from behind. Although he consciously controlled the body to relieve the force, he was still shaken badly.

"Good opportunity!" Without giving the Black Knight any time to continue maneuvering, Pulse controlled the other ship-cutting sword and turned around, slashing at the Black Knight's heavy ship-cutting sword, cutting the black silk away.

The Black Knight flipped over in mid-air, stabilized the body's posture, and continued to charge forward with the heavy sword.

Pulse was not to be outdone, brandishing two ship-slashing swords and slashing at the Black Knight's heavy sword. The particles emitted by the beam blades appeared in the night sky like continuous fireworks.

Both of them knew that they had met their match and had to use close combat to open the situation.

Close combat is to my advantage! Shin (Shura) thought so, and swung the machine even harder.

But this stalemate did not last long, and Meiling's voice came from the pulse communication.

"Really! The Earth Army's fleet is approaching! Captain Talia orders a retreat!"

"Retreat?! Now?!" After hearing this news in the communication, Zhen, who was originally fighting with the Black Knight and was still in a tense state, the movements of controlling the body became a little distorted.

"Good opportunity!!" Seeing that Pulse's movements were somewhat distorted, Shura subconsciously widened his eyes, unable to suppress his ecstasy in his heart. He controlled the Black Knight's heavy sword to change the angle and chopped it on the back of Pulse's ship-cutting sword, continuing to expand Pulse's posture deformation.

"Not good!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhen immediately came to his senses and tried to avoid the next attack of the Black Knight.

"Go to hell! The guy with the same face as a unicorn!" Shura seemed to be too excited. He forgot Orphee's order and subconsciously raised the heavy sword in his hand.

"Shura! Stop!" Aoife's somewhat serious voice came from the Black Knight's communicator. "The order is to drive them away, not shoot them down. Don't do anything unnecessary!"

The serious and angry voice of Orphee, which was engraved in Shura's heart, brought Shura back to his senses from his inexplicable excitement.

After all, Orphee is now the chief instructor of the Black Knights, and his orders must be followed by Shura, no matter how excited he is.

If he continued to use the heavy sword to chop the flying pulse, he would definitely chop the pulse's arms and waist, which was not in line with Orphee's requirements.

Then, there is only one way.

As if recalling something, Shura's smile twisted a little. The Black Knight raised his right leg and gave a football kick to the waist and abdomen of Pulse, who was concentrating all his attention on the heavy sword.

"Ah..." Shin, whose attention was all focused on the Heavy Slash Sword, did not react to the sudden kick. Before he could adjust his posture, Pulse fell on the deck of the Minerva and almost hit Luna's Zaku Warrior.

"It's time to retreat!" Although Talia couldn't accept the pulse being kicked back, now was not the time to express her emotions. The right thing to do was to evacuate quickly before the Earth Army formed an encirclement.

Anyway, in the end, this guy Zhen will definitely go and practice on his own. So thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing for him to get beaten up?

……

Looking at the Minerva which had already left the border of the Kingdom of Findersen, Shura, sitting on the Black Knight, gasped for breath, his mind still on the scene of the battle with Pulse just now.

"Huh... Huh... I succeeded?" After confirming it many times, Shura came to this conclusion. He had indeed defeated a Gundam.

"Yes, I succeeded. I defeated that machine with a face similar to the Unicorn and similar PS armor..." Thinking of this, Shura couldn't help but burst into laughter in the cockpit, mumbling like a psychopath. "Haha... It's just a meal replacement, but I'm so happy!"

"Next up are the other machines with faces like the Unicorn, then the Phoenix, and finally the Unicorn!" Shura said nervously, completely ignoring the fact that the communicator was still communicating. "Kill you, I must kill you, so I can become myself again! Unicorn!"

Listening to Shura's words coming from the communication, Aoife, who was sitting in the combat meeting room, frowned.

Under the pressure of Turlington syndrome and unicorn, is he a little mentally extreme? It seems that he does need some psychological counseling.

Perhaps he could also participate in Mother's research project? After all, Shura is also looking to gain more power...

"Xura, it's time to retreat." Aoife rubbed his forehead and spoke into the microphone. "Go get a checkup when you come back. I want to see your report!"

"...Yes, I understand." As if some kind of switch was turned on, Shura, who was originally laughing wildly, suddenly calmed down.

With demons running rampant in their hearts, they returned to their cells contentedly, waiting for the next time that the being called "Gundam" would unlock their doors and release them again.

PS: Today’s update.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Speaking of Christmas, there is no need to say much about what will happen.

Today I wanted to play underwater characters in World of Warships on a submarine, but I found out that I was short of 16,000 experience points, so my plan failed.

Volume 137: Chapter : Unicorn's New Weapon

Time passed quickly, and three or four days had passed since Lacus and Kira set off on the cargo ship.

During this period, Ross was not busy either. Thanks to the newly designed backpack of the Assault, which shared many common accessories with the Mobius Zero, the production speed was very fast. Now the frame and some parts are ready.

However, it seems that because he had seen the results of Ross's use of the Beam Magnum before, and because Unicorn could not use the Beam Magnum temporarily due to its new weapon, Mu had an idea.

"You want the Assault's beam magnum compatible with the Unicorn?" Erica looked at Mu after hearing his thoughts. "Let's not even talk about whether or not he can use all those weapons. The Assault's frame can't withstand the recoil of that gun. If he wants to use it, his right hand needs to be redesigned and the frame strengthened."

As the person who took the lead in adjusting the fully armed form of the Assault, Erica naturally understood the strength of the Assault's armament and armor. After roughly estimating the recoil of the Beam Magnum, she subconsciously shook her head.

"Besides, if we use PS armor to offset the recoil of this weapon, although the nuclear battery's endurance is fine, the PS armor will quickly overheat..."

"The controls for the Mobius Zero's wire-controlled buoyancy pod are already etched into its DNA!" Mu gave a thumbs-up over the comms. "Besides, Ross said the Unicorn is getting new weaponry. I've seen the schematics, and by then, this gun won't be usable. How can we leave such a good thing lying there unused?"

As for the wire-controlled pod backpack, aside from being able to connect to the Assault's current nuclear battery via an interface, significantly increasing its endurance and output, and enhancing its propulsion, its operation was identical to the Mobius Zero. Although it hadn't been built yet, Mu had already mastered it after running several simulations using the data provided.

"You have already set sail with the New Argama. If you want to strengthen your skeleton, you have to go back to Industrial 7." Erica sighed and casually opened a file on the computer.

The file contained the design drawings of the Assault. Fortunately, Erica had just completed the initial design of Orb's new generation of mass-produced MS not long ago, otherwise there would be no time to modify the Assault skeleton.

……

On the bridge of the New Argama, Mu, who had just completed the communication, whistled and turned off the communicator.

The New Agama had just received the Unicorn's new weapons not long ago, and was now heading towards the coordinates set by Lux, and was about to arrive.

Mu was envious when he thought about the beam magnum that could kill and destroy such a large MS with one shot, but now it could only be kept in the hangar.

But unfortunately, although Ross didn't mind Mu using the Beam Magnum, Assault couldn't use the Beam Magnum now, and it would take some time before returning to Industrial 7, so Mu could only wait.

"By the way, where's Ross now? Is he still adjusting the armament in the hangar?" At this time, Mu looked at the people on the bridge and scratched his head.

"That's right. It seems that because the armed forces need to connect directly to the Unicorn, Ross is still adjusting." Mariu, who was sitting in the captain's seat and looking at the intelligence, nodded.

At this moment, in the Gnarkuli, Ross was sitting in the cockpit of the Unicorn, constantly operating on the touch screen.

There is a white weapon on the unicorn's right hand, which makes the forearm of the right hand look thicker. At the same time, the component with two long plates is also flipped and stored on the side of the forearm.

Armed Battle Armor BS, Unicorn's brand new weapon, retained the general appearance of the original, but Ross also made some modifications to it.

In order to allow this weapon to emit beams with irregular trajectories, Ross specially installed a psychokinetic skeleton on it for fine control. Through two long plates similar to the ν Gundam's floater, he adjusted the phantom particles, allowing the weapon's beam to be distorted.

This actually uses the technology from the Forbidden Gundam. After designing this Armored Suit BS, Ross began to think: Since it is possible to twist the light beam through phantom particles, why can't phantom particles form an acceleration field to allow it to shoot a beam magnum?

After a while, Ross designed an improved Armored Suit BS. The original square beam launch port was changed to a circle, and adjustments were made on the two long plates so that they could be decomposed into four sides like claws, allowing it to adjust phantom particles and allow the Armored Suit BS to emit beam magnums.

In its deformed state, the Armored Suit BS also loses its ability to distort light beams, and because it needs to manipulate phantom particles, the frequency of firing is much lower than when using the original beam magnum rifle. This can be said to be a compromise for the versatility of the weapon.

Moreover, since his right hand was equipped with an armed BS, he could no longer hold the beam magnum, so Ross could only put the beam magnum rifle in the hangar, which was also the reason why Mu wanted to use the beam magnum rifle.

I just don't know when the beam Gatling gun I ordered from Orb will be completed.

Ross thought so and began to check the compatibility of the Armored Suit BS with the Unicorn for the fifth time. It seemed that the Unicorn was also very satisfied with this weapon, and the body's response speed was much faster.
