Ross desperately wanted to recreate that hazy memory, that action etched into his DNA. His tongue was itching to lick it and comment, "It tastes like a lie."

But now think about it, Mu and Erica were there for fun, but watching Cagalli, whose brain was already overloaded, and Kira, who was at a loss, might not be able to accept this operation.

Ross quickly distanced himself from Malu. "Alright, I'll let you go this time."

"Okay, that little drama is over, let's get back to business." Seeing the amusement come to an abrupt end, Erica could only sigh and say with some regret. "When I found this machine, it still had Kira's OS installed, but I guess you were planning to give it to someone else, so you took the liberty of changing it to a personal OS."

"I have experience driving the M1 Heresy, please let me drive it." Cagalli, who had participated in the M1 Heresy test, volunteered.

Kira and Ross both have organisms, Maru is the captain, Mu is the Sky King pilot, and now I have the experience of testing the M1 Heretic, so the advantage is mine!

Cagalli secretly pumped her fists inwardly, as if becoming the pilot of the assault was a foregone conclusion.

But, to be polite...

"Of course, this requires your consent."

However, like a certain master of micro-manipulation, she also encountered a strong opponent!

"No... I vote against it." Mu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and quickly cast his vote against it.

"Ah? Why?!" Cagalli was stunned. There is actually a stronger master of micro-control?

"Because I want to drive it." Mu looked at Cagalli. "The battle intensity is already very high, and the Sky King is already a little overwhelmed."

For a moment, Cagalli was pushed back by Mu's words.

"There are two powerful pilots right now... Come and have a training battle with me." At this time, Mu turned his attention to Kira and Ross, who was thinking about whether to go to the narration later and started the simulation training in the cockpit to put some pressure on himself. "After all, there is no better way to grow than fighting with experts."

……

Returning to the present, several machines are standing in the underground training space, forming a pentagon.

Apart from the Freedom, Strike, and Narrative Gundams, there are not many Jegan D-Types in Orb's M1 Astray and the newly launched trial production.

At this time, Cagalli was sitting in the Jegan D-type, looking at the full-circle cockpit view in front of her with some surprise.

"Is this... Ross's perspective?"

"Everyone, please be advised. Although your weapons have been adjusted for training purposes, don't forget that the guy in the narrator can give you a concussion." Erica's voice came over the underground broadcast. "Anyway... please treat this battle as a real one. Simulation battle begins!"

"Ha, this is a good opportunity for me to test your strength, Ross!" Mu was obviously very excited. He walked towards Ross, holding the "light tube" used for simulation training.

"Aren't you well aware of my strength?" Ross estimated the height and width of the underground space, activated the thrusters and attitude nozzles of the Narrative Gundam, and dodged Mu's first slash by moving on a cushion of air. "You came to me so soon? Shouldn't you go find Kira first to teach you some moves?"

"Stop talking nonsense, if you want to fight, fight the strongest one!" Mu obviously didn't take Ross's words to heart, and only wanted to give Ross's body a blow.

"Okay... in that case." Ross sighed, took a deep breath, and tightened his grip on the joystick. "Don't die... No, don't give me a concussion."

The Narrative Gundam changed its previous evasive action plan, and the two wire-controlled floating guns on the backpack adjusted their angles and shot red indicator rays towards the Assault like shoulder guns.

"Not good!" Mu Kankan stopped his attack and raised his shield to block the two rays. The machine's simulated combat program detected that the shield was hit, and a "ding" sound came from the speaker.

However, Mu's shield-raising movement was too big, causing the machine's body to completely shrink behind the shield.

Ross naturally would not miss this opportunity. He narrated the Gundam moving forward quickly, and before Mu could react, the "light tube" in his hand slashed at the shield.

Mu felt a powerful impact in the cabin, but then, continuous swings came from the left side of the shield.

Mu quickly adjusted the position of the shield to keep the machine balanced.

But the next second, the attack came directly from the right side of Mu's shield. After the Narrative Gundam completed a slash from the upper right to the lower left, it quickly followed up with a slash from the lower left to the upper right, directly knocking open Mu's shield.

Then, the missile launcher on the waist was activated, and the additional infrared indication device hit Qiangxi's body several times, and a strong warning sound came from Qiangxi's public speaker.

At the same time, it seemed that Mu was disturbed, his attacking movement became a little deformed, and he fell to the ground.

"Damn it, I can't see anything..." Seeing the simulation program in front of him causing visual interference on the screen after receiving the signal, Mu couldn't help but feel anxious and kept operating the machine.

But then, the body stopped all movement.

"Ah? Why can't it move?" At this time, Mu saw the reason why the body was shut down.

I saw that the narrator's left hand had taken out the hilt of the beam sword at some point, and the hilt of the unactivated beam sword was pressed against the armor of the cockpit.

"Colonel Flagg, out!" Erica's voice rang out in the underground space. Everyone present turned their eyes to the Strike that fell down due to loss of control of its posture, and the Narrative Gundam that was retracting the hilt of its beam sword.

"Colonel Flagg was defeated so quickly?" Cagalli, who was being fed moves by Kira, was stunned for a moment.

But then, an infrared ray accurately hit the cockpit of the M1 Heretic, and another person was declared eliminated.

"Mayura, out!"

"Ah? Why suddenly..." The cry of test pilot Mayura was heard from the loudspeaker of M1 Heretic.

"The battlefield won't give you time to be idle!" Ross's voice boomed from the speaker of the narrating Gundam. "Since you've boarded one of these machines, you must be prepared to fight opponents whose piloting skills and performance far surpass yours, and even be shot down!"

The Narrative Gundam had somehow circled around the sides of the Freedom and Jegan-D, and a ray of infrared light locked Cagalli's machine on the spot.

Kira acted decisively, controlling the Freedom and using the nozzles on the machine, imitating Ross's method to keep the machine moving on an air cushion and leaving the Jegan D-Type.

Sure enough, when Kira just left his original position, three infrared rays swept over, and one of them almost hit the free arm.

However, one of the infrared rays directly turned off the "lamp" in his hand, and Kira had no choice but to throw away the "lamp" in his free hand.

"Cagalli, out!" After making the judgment, Erica couldn't help but frown.

This was her first time seeing Ross fight up close. There was no doubt that Ross's combat experience and driving skills were overwhelming the ordinary soldiers. Even Orb's most elite pilots could not last more than a single round in his hands.

And now, only the two strongest people are left in the training ground.

"Cagalli, Mayura, watch carefully and learn well." Seeing the ace pilots fighting at such a close distance must be a good learning opportunity for them.

The narration tells that the Gundam continues to move on its air cushion, and the beam rifle in its hand continuously shoots infrared rays at Kira, hitting Kira's shield.

Kira was not to be outdone, and he fired at Ross Lianlian with the "Lupus Beam Rifle" in his free hand.

At this moment, Kira and Ross were like a two-person show, suppressing the enemy with beam rifles while waiting for an opportunity.

As Mu was lying in the cockpit watching the whole game, his viewing experience was quite bad. The movement of the air cushions of the two aircraft raised a lot of dust, and visibility was visibly reduced.

Ross calculated that the time was almost up, and suddenly drove the Narrative Gundam towards Freedom.

"Here it comes!" Kira now prefers shooting to fighting. Besides, without the "light tube", he can only keep shooting at Ross.

Some people might be wondering, isn't there a beam saber hilt? While the beam saber hilt also has infrared detection, Ross's "lamp" is still good, and the beam saber hilt doesn't have a physical collision volume.

However, Ross did not follow the free route, but instead used reverse thrust to stop the movement of the Narrative Gundam.

The impact caused by the reverse thrust raised the dust on the ground, making the scene slightly blurry.

Kira stared intently at the dust rising in all directions, his finger on the trigger of the joystick. Suddenly, he saw a shadow with the same shield as the Narrative Gundam, manipulating the body to fire at the shield.

But then, a warning sound of a destroyed machine part rang out from his side, making Kira break out in a cold sweat.

He turned around quickly and saw that the Narrative Gundam released its wire-controlled floating cannon. At this time, the shield in the Narrative Gundam's left hand was aimed at Kira.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, a small missile flew out from the front of the shield and exploded.

But there was no fire or forging pieces as imagined.

I saw the contents that were blown out, scattered around freely, and inflated quickly.

Large balloons that are at least 80% similar to the Gundam in the narrative are flying near Freedom, but when Kira looks at Freedom's scanning radar, he finds that these light balloons are being detected as MS signals.

Such a novel tactic stunned everyone present.

Kira pushed aside the balloons in front of him, thinking about leaving the area surrounded by them first. But as if some timer went off, the balloons suddenly inflated rapidly, exploding the contents inside and interfering with Kira's radar.

The simulation program, sensing the impact, also slightly blurred the free cockpit.

But that's enough.

The narrative tells that Gundam suddenly rushed out from the dust and contents, and the "light tube" in its right hand slashed towards Freedom.

Kira seemed to hear the sound of thrusters and the sound of the physical blade swinging, and controlled the Freedom machine to complete an extreme backflip in this underground space. Then, Freedom raised its shield and rushed towards the Narrative Gundam.

Ross stepped on the pedal, and the Narrative Gundam dodged Freedom's charge and swung at the beam rifle in Freedom's hand.

Freedom's speaker made a "damaged component" sound, which was exactly in line with Kira's plan. Freedom quickly let go and threw down the beam rifle. In the assault flight state, he turned in the air, and the shield in his left hand knocked the "light tube" in the Narrative Gundam's hand away.

Ross was not to be outdone, and the missile launchers on the waist and legs of the Narrative Gundam also opened fire. The infrared rays accurately hit the free body at close range, causing Kira's perspective to shake violently.

The next moment, a section of the "Swordfish" electromagnetic gun barrel suddenly extended from the waist of the Freedom, which had already completed a circle of rotation and was close to the ground.

The narrator's left hand had at some point pulled out a beam rifle, and following the kinetic energy of the "light tube" being blown away, he adjusted his posture and aimed the muzzle at the cockpit of the flying Freedom Gundam.

Without any hesitation, two infrared rays appeared at the same time.

"...Kira, Ross, the result is a draw... The mock battle is over."

Erica's voice echoed in the underground space, announcing the results of the simulation training.

Rhodes sat in the cockpit, turned off the communication, and looked at his palm.

"...Am I getting weaker...? Is it because I've fought too many enemies?"

After thinking for a moment, Rhodes made a decision.

"It's decided. Let's go train with Amuro later and see if we can encounter a fully equipped ν Gundam this time."

----split line----

PS: Today’s update.

No, the update time has been getting more and more abstract recently. I have to adjust the time period when I write.

Volume 1: Chapter 64 Orb: Open the cover! Industrial No. 7!

"What? Panama was captured?!"

Malu's voice, filled with shock, echoed in the conference room.

On the second day of the simulation training, Uzumi came to the Archangel and brought the news to Mariu and others.

"Yeah, that's right." Standing in the conference room, Uzumaki nodded and continued with a serious expression.

"According to intelligence, even though the Earth Army deployed their mass-produced mobile suits, they were completely annihilated by ZAFT's electromagnetic pulse attack, and the Panama mass accelerator was also destroyed."

"And just now, the Earth Army also sent a request to Orb to requisition the mass accelerator 'Kuga-ya', and bluntly stated that if we do not agree, we will be regarded as a nation supporting ZAFT."

"You refused, right?" At this moment, Rhodes, who was sitting on a chair nearby and operating the tablet in his hand, suddenly raised his head.

After seeing Kira's Freedom installing an "anti-neutron jammer" and using nuclear power to achieve the same performance, Ross wondered if he could also do it. After training, he worked all night to get the material order ready and placed an order with the Aurora Society.

He was originally planning to go back to his room to sleep, but was stopped by Uzumi and kept in the conference room, where he heard this "big news" for Mariu and others.

"Besides... this commanding tone, and if I don't join, I'll be ZAFT's diode... Blue Cosmos?"

Uzummi seemed a little surprised by Ross's reasoning, but when he thought about the information he had seen, he understood.

"Yes, according to intelligence, Murta Azrael, the founder of Blue Cosmos, has entered the Earth Union meeting and has a considerable say in it."

But after hearing the news, Rhodes frowned.

The reason is that when Ross was still working at the Blue Cosmos Research Institute, he saw the internal documents.

The person in charge of the "Smart Brain" project was killed in the attack on Rhodes, and Murtagh led another project called "BoostedMan". The research results of the two projects have a certain degree of overlap.

"Does Orb have any intelligence showing who the Earth Army purchased the 'smart brain' components from?" Ross pondered and asked Uzmi this question.

"...According to intelligence, the Earth Army purchased all 'smart brain' components directly through contracts with the founder of Blue Cosmos." Uzumi seemed a little confused as to why Ross asked this question, but he didn't care much about it.

In other words, were both projects integrated into the hands of that Murtagh?

Rhodes glanced at the digital clock on the tablet, estimating how much time he would have to make the modifications and preparations.

"Has the evacuation order been issued? According to Cosmos' style, if we don't agree, they'll definitely attack. We don't have that much time." Ross put away his tablet and looked up at Uzmi with a serious expression. "Orb's geographical location doesn't offer much strategic depth."

"That's why I came to you," Uzumi finally explained. "I hope everyone on the Archangel will join the fight to stop the Earth Army's attack."

"At least stop them before launching all our citizens into space via a mass accelerator."

……

"So, you're planning on joining this battle?" Ross stood in the hangar, opened the cargo box, and inspected the goods inside. "Actually, you should be able to just avoid it."

In order to prevent the related designs of antineutron jammers and nuclear batteries from leaking out, in addition to some necessary raw materials, Rhodes chose finished machines containing the components he needed, disassembled the components from them and assembled them.

I have to say, doing this feels like using extra parts to assemble a new machine when building a model.

"Just consider it my willful choice." Perhaps it was because Ross was from Orb? Or perhaps it was because the Aurora Society had repaired and resupplied the Archangel so many times? All in all, Mariu had a good impression of Orb. "Besides, the Archangel is an escape ship. Even if it escaped, we wouldn't know where to go, and our own position was uncertain... But all in all, it seems that helping Orb is the best option right now."

"After all, the Archangel isn't my ship alone. I have to consider the feelings of the other crew members as well," Malu said, sighing. "Now's a perfect opportunity to allow those who want to leave to leave the ship, so they don't have to die with me."

"Be careful, or you'll be the only one left alone." Rhodes roughly finished the inventory, took out a wrench from the toolbox beside him, and quickly unscrewed a screw on a machine.
