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

"I...I must fight you!" Zhen stepped on the pedal and pulsed towards the unicorn. "I must protect my companions!"

"I'm sorry!" Enduring the pain in his heart of shooting his savior, Zhen shouted and pulled the trigger stiffly.

The beam hit the Unicorn's beam shield again, splashing and dissipating.

This was intentional. Normally, his crosshairs were placed on the cockpit of the MS, as if to make himself feel better. Besides, he really didn't want to get into a life-and-death situation with the Unicorn, so he specifically aimed at the Unicorn's shield.

"...So strange." Feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar brain waves coming from the pulse, Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to block the pulse attack with the shield in his hand.

"Why is it weird?" Big Harrow on the shelf shook his chubby body slightly, seemingly not understanding why Ross said such a thing.

"The brainwaves on the other side are somewhat familiar. The intensity is quite good... but with a sense of entanglement and escape?" Rhodes felt the feeling coming from his mind and controlled the unicorn to swing his right hand.

The blue particles that had already completed storing energy were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, forming a beam of light between the plates. Like a whip, it was first thrown onto the right hand of Lei's Zaku Warrior, leaving a wavy mark.

Although the area affected was not large, as energy was released from the hit area, the Zaku Warrior's right hand, which was still usable, was directly blown into pieces. The explosion even tore open the right side of the Zaku Warrior's body, revealing the somewhat compact cockpit shell of the Zaku Warrior.

"Lei!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhen subconsciously widened his eyes, but he didn't have time to be dazed.

The blue "whip" drew an irregular trajectory and hit Pulse.

Fortunately, Zhen subconsciously raised Pulse's shield, and the blue beam only hit Pulse's shield and legs.

Seeing the crooked, wavy-like impact site, Zhen subconsciously untied the connection between his pulse legs and threw away the shield in his hand.

As Pulse's upper body separated from its lower body, its legs and shield were blown to pieces.

"Really!" Meiling on the Minerva subconsciously cried out when she saw the scene in front of her.

"Um... I'm fine, Meiling, prepare the pulse components!" Zhen, who had just dodged the attack, took a breath, controlled the pulse with only the upper body left, and continued to fight with the unicorn.

"Zhen, I'll cover you!" At this time, Luna, who had been offline for a long time due to the replacement of body parts, spoke in the communication.

A thick yellow beam shot out from the Minerva, but Ross, as if he had anticipated it, controlled the Unicorn to move sideways smoothly, dodging the beam sniper.

"Tsk, empty again." Seeing the result in front of her, Luna curled her lips and controlled the red Zaku warrior who had just replaced his arm to stand in the open catapult deck, while the beam sniper cannon in his hand still maintained the attacking action.

The red Zaku Warrior broke away from the catapult deck, stood on the deck above the hangar, and raised the beam sniper cannon in his hand again.

"Come on, really!" Luna gritted her teeth as she watched the unicorn, who was fighting at breakneck speed against Pulse, who only had his upper body left, or rather, was unilaterally suppressing Pulse. "Sniping a target at that speed... I've never tried it before."

PS: Today’s update.

The submarines in World of Warships are so fun, I want to crawl around in the dark seabed!

I will look for the Azure mod for World of Warships tomorrow, and then climb the technology tree of Pan Am. Hehehe, I also want to taste the strength of Pan Am Superman!

Also, it seems like the unrestricted machine will be online this year? Kougua! I want to go elbow someone, Black Panther, my Black Panther!

Volume 142: Chapter : The front grid! The front grid! The grid is not moving!

With only his upper body remaining, Pulse continued to hold the beam rifle and fired at the Unicorn.

"Meiling, send me new components and a sword backpack!" Seeing the unicorn blocking his attack calmly, Zhen subconsciously gritted his teeth.

It is completely impossible to defeat the Unicorn by relying on shooting. Not to mention that his shooting skills are only "passable", what kind of Luna, the sniper on the Minerva, is like? Zhen also knew the specific situation in one battle after another.

Anyway, I really don't expect Luna's sniping to produce any results. It will be enough if it can affect the movement of the Unicorn.

Adhering to the idea that "the higher the pressure, the more fighting we have to do", and considering the current situation of Pulse, the destruction of the components is a foregone conclusion, we might as well let the components play their role one last time.

Looking at the pulse rushing towards him, Rhodes narrowed his eyes and stepped on the pedal at the alarm coming from his brain.

The unicorn retreated quickly, and a thick yellow beam of light passed through the place where the unicorn had just been, followed by a sky full of anti-aircraft artillery.

The Unicorn shuttled between the Minerva's anti-aircraft artillery fire. Compared with facing the attack of "Amuro"'s flying wing floater, desperately trying to find a glimmer of hope in the danger warnings from all directions, the firepower of these anti-aircraft artillery seemed too sparse.

Ross controlled the Unicorn and raised the Armored Battle Armor BS in his hand towards Pulse. Irregular blue beams shot out from it and flew towards Pulse.

Faced with this attack with a completely unpredictable trajectory, Zhen didn't even think about dodging or blocking. He separated the core fighter without hesitation.

The blue core fighter retreated a distance along the blind spot.

Pulse's upper body components and air combat backpack were hit by the blue beam, leaving blue and white curved burn marks, but the components still flew towards the Unicorn according to the original program settings.

But before it could reach the unicorn, the component burst into flames and exploded into a pile of parts.

"Really? Keep retreating!" Seeing the core fighter intact, Luna breathed a sigh of relief and continued firing at the unicorn with her beam sniper cannon. "Damn it, it's like a mosquito, I can't even hit it..."

"Luna, stop firing! He's noticed you!" Zhen, who had just escaped the Unicorn's lock, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before he discovered that the Unicorn had aimed the weapon that could shoot irregular beams at the Minerva.

"Faster than him... Faster than him..." Looking at the display screen, the weapon in the unicorn's hand emitted a blue light. Luna continued to aim at the unicorn, holding down the trigger with her right hand.

The beam sniper cannon was still in the charging stage and could not launch an attack immediately. Luna had some cold sweat on her forehead.

"Luna!" Zhen, who could only pilot the core fighter plane because the components were not in place yet, widened his eyes as he watched the weapon in the unicorn's hand emit a blue beam of light.

Feeling the overly excited brain waves not far away, and that familiar NT-like feeling, Ross subconsciously controlled the armor BS, causing the target of the beam to deviate by a few centimeters.

Looking at the blue beam of light coming in front of her, Luna no longer had the intention to continue sniping the unicorn. She simply swung the beam sniper cannon in her hand towards the blue beam of light, turned around, revealing the shield on her left shoulder, and pulled out a thermal tomahawk from it.

The blue beam of light swam like a snake, moving all the way from the Minerva's linear cannon to the vicinity of Luna's Zaku Warrior. The high-energy particles penetrated the beam sniper cannon and hit the Zaku Warrior's shield directly.

But the beam did not continue forward until it melted the Zaku Warrior's head monitor. Instead, it turned and flew out.

There was no time to think about the reason why the unicorn did this. Luna's sense of crisis was frantically sending her an alarm, and the source of the alarm was the shield that was supposed to bring her a sense of security.

Luna quickly threw the shield on her left shoulder, and shortly after throwing the shield, the place where the unicorn had just hit suddenly emitted a strong light and exploded.

"Luna!" Seeing the Zaku Warrior covered in the smoke and dust produced by the explosion, Zhen, who had just connected the new components, was stunned as if a string had been broken.

Then, what followed was a complex emotion like anger mixed with other indescribable emotions, burning in Zhen's heart.

As the sword backpack completed the docking, the body's prompt sound was like a thunder, waking up Zhen who was still in a daze.

It was as if something in the body was untied, and he really had an auditory hallucination that something was exploding. His originally confused brain now felt a sense of calm, and his highly concentrated attention even made his pupils look a little unfocused.

Pulse pulled out the ship-slashing sword from behind him, revealing the beam blade used for cutting. He gripped the hilt with both hands and rushed towards the unicorn with the ship-slashing sword raised.

The pulse passed through the smoke produced by the explosion, and the beam saber in his hand chopped down at the unicorn's head.

But what greeted him was a fierce shield strike from the Unicorn Shield after deactivating the beam shield.

"...What strange brainwaves! Is he truly a Newtype?" Seeing Pulse quickly adjust his stance after receiving a shield strike and lashing out several times, and the rage emanating from his mind, like a rage encased in ice, Ross subconsciously frowned. "I remember Newtypes being supposed to be more emotional?"

"Do you think this guy driving the red mobile suit is a Newtype?" Big Haro, who hadn't spoken in a long time, shook his chubby body and looked at Ross from his fixed position. "How did you tell that?"

"Because I sensed brainwaves similar to Andrew and Lacus's... the intensity is probably somewhere in between." Ross controlled the Unicorn, retracted the Armored Battlesuit, and entered melee combat. "You know, Andrew and Lacus are both Newtypes."

"Oh, I remember. Then why did you say he was weird?" Big Hello probably understood what Ross meant and added a few marks on the full-circle driving.

"His emotions are being suppressed by something..." Ross glanced at the cargo ship not far away, which was about to rendezvous with the New Argama, and then returned his attention to the current battle situation. "But it doesn't seem to be an external force. It feels like his body is suppressing these emotions."

While chatting and laughing, the real slashing attacks were blocked one by one by the unicorn's shield. Then, a very standard shield strike was made to knock the pulse away.

Immediately afterwards, the Unicorn's propulsion nozzle continued to operate, and a very standard roundhouse kick was kicked on the Zaku who had touched the back of the Unicorn at some point, kicking him out.

"Woo... Damn it, how did he find me?!" Feeling the fierce impact and the unreasonable counterattack just now, Luna gritted her teeth and threw the thermal battle axe in her hand at the unicorn like a dart.

"Bang" the unicorn picked up the shield and knocked it against the thermal axe, slowing it down and changing its direction of flight. With Luna's eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief, his right arm, which could easily withstand the recoil of the beam magnum, ignored the impact of the thermal axe and accurately grasped the handle of the thermal axe with his right hand.

As the interface adaptation was completed, the thermal axe, whose blade had originally been a little dim, once again lit up with a yellow light.

"You're... you're kidding, it's so easy..." Luna opened her mouth as she watched the unicorn easily break her proud throwing technique.

"Luna, use this." Zhen, who had just been knocked away, controlled the pulse and came to Luna's side. He reached out to stabilize Luna's body and handed over another ship-cutting sword.

"Hmm..." Luna quickly calmed herself down and reached out to pick up the ship-slashing sword that Pulse handed to her. "Let's go together, Zhen!"

After saying that, Luna stepped on the pedal and the Zaku Warrior flew towards the Unicorn.

Although Luna's sniping skills are average, her strength in military academy training has always been combat.

When it comes to fighting, she has never been afraid of anyone, not even unicorns!

"A melee battle?" Ross said calmly, watching the two mobile suits charging towards him under the cover of artillery fire, armed with ship-slashing swords. "As expected, if you want to fight a ship-slashing sword, you still have to use the ship-slashing sword."

Ross stepped on the pedal and rushed towards the two machines in front of him.

He raised his left hand and used his shield to block Luna's slash, but the heat axe in his right hand was thrown by Unicorn and chopped into the shoulder of the Zaku Warrior. Then, he grabbed the Zaku Warrior's right arm holding the beam saber with his right hand and turned around suddenly.

The skeleton of the mass-produced machine creaked, and the Zaku Warrior's right forearm was actually torn off by the Unicorn, and the rest of the machine was thrown out.

"Ah, this power must be fake!" After just one encounter, both arms of the Zaku Warrior turned red and could not be controlled. Luna couldn't help but scream.

Holding the hilt, the interface completed docking, and the ship-slashing sword once again revealed the high-power beam blade used to cut the target.

Ross calmly swung his ship-slashing sword, blocking Pulse's horizontal slash towards his cockpit. Like two streams of water colliding, particle beams flew everywhere, hitting Unicorn and Pulse.

As the Unicorn increased its output power, the originally stalemate situation suddenly tilted towards the Unicorn, and the Pulse was directly chopped away.

Although Pulse was clearly at a disadvantage, Zhen remained calm at this moment.

One of his teammates was unsure of his life or death, while the other escaped death but lost his combat capability in an instant. In addition, there was damage on the Minerva... These scenes aroused the emotion called "anger" in his heart, not towards the unicorn, but "anger" towards this world.

But the angrier he was, the calmer he felt now. He continued to swing the pulse ship-cutting sword and attack the unicorn.

Move forward, swing, move forward, swing, and repeat over and over again. Follow the answer given by your body and continue to attack relentlessly.

But with Pulse's thrust, Rhodes seized the opportunity, controlled the Unicorn to go around Pulse's left side, and cut off Pulse's left arm with one knife.

Fortunately, Zhen reacted quickly and retracted Pulse's right arm, otherwise it would have been chopped off.

But before Zhen could launch a counterattack, Unicorn swung his right hand, and the ship-cutting sword was like a dart, cutting off Pulse's right forearm.

Then, Unicorn's left hand grasped Pulse's breastplate, and with his right hand, he punched Pulse's head monitor to pieces. Looking at the image on the screen, which was affected by the destruction of the head monitor, Shin quickly switched to the secondary camera.

But as the image was restored, what appeared in real sight was the sole of the unicorn's foot.

"Really!" Luna spoke subconsciously when she saw Pulse's head monitor being smashed by Unicorn's punch and hit with a standard flying kick.

All three MS pilots lost their combat effectiveness, the Minerva was severely damaged by the Unicorn, and there was a battleship twice as large as the Minerva next to it.

Everyone on the Minerva had gloomy faces, and everything had come to the worst.

……

"Zizizi... Mr. Ross, we've reunited. We can evacuate." Ross, who had just experienced the "ν Gundam Hammering Sazabi's Head Monitor," heard Lacus' voice over the comms. "No need to continue the attack. Please retreat."

"But... they're chasing you, right?" Ross glanced at the somewhat damaged Minerva after hearing Lux's words. "Is it really okay to just let them go?"

To be honest, Marlu originally wanted to cooperate with Ross and continue the attack, but was persuaded by Lacus. Otherwise, the Minerva would probably have sunk before Ross could attack.

"The Earth Army will be here soon. Considering the hostile situation between us and the Blue Cosmos, and the fact that escorting the cargo ship back home is the most important task right now... from all aspects, sinking them now is not a good option." After a moment of silence, Lux spoke her thoughts over the comms. "Anyway, please evacuate."

"...Okay, I understand." Ross was silent for a moment, then sighed.

Then, Ross glanced at the Minerva, which was still emitting smoke.

"You saved your life."

With that, the unicorn turned smoothly and flew towards the New Agama at an extremely fast speed.

PS: This is the first update today, there will be another one later.

In today's World of Warships, I encountered two submarines while driving the ship Vendetta, and I couldn't defeat them no matter how hard I tried.

No, I also need to practice my submarine speaking skills.

Volume 143: Chapter : Sailan's Ambition

When I really woke up from my coma, what came into my sight was a ceiling that was strange yet a little familiar.

"Are you awake?" Durandal's voice sounded in Zhen's ears.

"Lei...Luna..." Zhen, whose mouth was dry and whose whole body felt weak, tried his best to say a few words.

"They're lucky. Ray's cockpit is intact; he was just unconscious. He just woke up and is back in the dorms." Durandal looked at the tablet in his hand and raised an eyebrow. "As for Luna, she's healthy; it's just her body that's damaged."

"The aircraft is damaged... By the way, what about the Minerva? How is the Minerva now?" As if he had come to his senses, his tone became a little excited.

"We've made temporary repairs and are heading towards Orb's colony satellite, Darwin," Durandal said, standing up from his stool. "We'll make a brief stop there for repairs and resupply before returning to the plant."

"I remember your family is also in Orb, you can take this opportunity to get off the ship and meet them."

Durandal patted Zhen's shoulder and stood up to leave the infirmary.

"By the way, I'm not sure why you were so focused on that captured augmented girl... but considering you're in the same infirmary as her, I should explain." Durandal paused, as if thinking of something. "Because she's deprived of a certain medication from the Earth Army, her body is becoming irreversibly weakened. I'm not sure if she can make it to the plant."
