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

Three half-finished mobile suit frames sat quietly in a nearby hangar, and not far away was a massive frame of unknown purpose. Only a small amount of construction machinery was being installed; it looked as if construction had stalled.

"Wait... isn't that the Narrator?" At this moment, a sharp-eyed crew member saw the Narrator Gundam docked in the Gnarkuri not far away, and the engineering machine that was already performing routine maintenance on the Narrator Gundam.

Compared to the dock where Biob maintained his warships, or the hangar of the Archangel, the huge dock before him seemed highly automated. Aside from a young man with green hair, the people operating the equipment were all...

"Hello... why are there so many?" Seeing the Hellos of various colors on the construction machines, Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

As Hello is the most popular "electronic pet" nowadays, Mu has naturally heard of it. However, can "electronic pets" really operate such a complicated engineering machine?

"They are not the 'electronic pets' in your subconscious." At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

With her long red hair floating in the zero-gravity state, Christina, wearing a white coat and holding a Harrow, floated in front of the Archangel's crew.

"Everyone loaded inside is a victim of the Blue Cosmos wetware plan." Christina threw Haro in her arms onto an idle engineering machine.

Then, Christina looked at Ross and nodded at him as usual, "You're back, Ross."

"Well, you've worked hard, Christina." Rhodes floated towards Christina and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry for making you work overtime."

"Maybe only Big Hallo has some opinions now." Christina looked at Maru and Bakilulu who were observing the base not far away, and couldn't help but frowned.

Compared to their observations of the base, they looked at Ross too often.

"Compared to a complete body, we who only have a brain have very low energy consumption and can work continuously." Christina shook her head and explained the current situation.

"That is to say... those things in the Haro..." After hearing Christina's words, the expressions of all the Archangel crew members became complicated.

"That's right. Besides Ross and Big Hallo, everyone you see working here..." Feeling Ross loosen his arms and end the hug, Christina blinked and looked at the Archangel's crew. "Everything inside is the brain that was supposed to be made into the Blue Cosmos wetware, including me, of course."

"Of course, you didn't come here to chat with me or listen to my complaints."

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical operation, the metal wall used for isolation on the side lowered, revealing a vague shadow behind it.

Not far away, the lights in the originally dim area suddenly turned on, and a huge warship appeared in front of the Archangel's crew.

"This is..." Looking at the graceful warship in front of him, Malu finally understood the purpose of Ross's coming here.

"Welcome to the 'Shipyard' that belongs only to Rhodes," Christina said, introducing everyone, "This is where all of Rhodes's designs are realized."

"Of course, the warship you see before you, both the funding and the blueprints for its construction, all came from Ross."

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

Volume 109: Chapter Neo Argam a

Although the new warship has completed the final equipment installation, some data entry and debugging are still required before it can set sail.

However, the "shipyard" only had Ross's dormitory, and the crew of the Archangel could only spend one night on the shuttle.

Of course, they can also use the toilet and bathroom, although there is only one.

In the dim shipyard, the only sounds were the white noise of running machinery and the twinkling eyes of the Harolds who were entering data for the new warships.

"So you're not going to stay at the shipyard?"

On the central control platform, Rhodes leaned against the railing and looked at the big Haro in front of him.

"The shipyard's operations are already running smoothly. They can read the blueprints. We just need funding." Big Hello waved the wings above his head. "My arrival has only improved efficiency. There won't be any problems aboard the warships. At most, I can remotely control the shipyard despite the network lag. The lag isn't that high anyway."

"That's true... It's really convenient, such a capability." Ross smiled and turned his head to look at the new battleship in the distance, where only the vague outline remained.

"As long as you keep working overtime, you can gain the same abilities as me. Want to try?" Dah Luo's tone seemed to contain a hint of teasing. "If you die suddenly from overwork, you can transform into a state like mine."

Big Haro unfolded his weapons, and various gun barrel missiles appeared from under the cover, like a walking arsenal.

"...Forget it, I still want to live a few more years."

"Even if you agreed, I wouldn't let you work overtime like this." Big Harrow retracted his weapons and swayed in his position. "I'm already heartbroken, how could I let you work overtime?"

In fact, if Ross died suddenly from overwork and became a similar existence to Big Haro, Big Haro would have to return to his original position and work overtime, waiting for the courtyard to assign him the next executor, which usually took about five to ten system years.

You have to know that Ross is now Da Harrow's hope to escape the hell of overtime. Now it can be said that Da Harrow's attitude towards Ross is like holding him in his arms for fear of dropping him, and holding him in his mouth for fear of melting him. He can't wait to help Ross pass the probation period.

However, the longer he spent with Ross, the more Da Hello felt like he was playing some kind of idle development game. But compared to those characters, Ross had more subjective initiative, so at least Da Hello didn't have to worry about him becoming stronger.

But his emotional intelligence is not very good, maybe this is the character's weakness.

Ross, completely unaware of what Big Haro was thinking at the moment, withdrew his gaze from the distant warship and looked at the weapons that Big Haro was withdrawing.

"I've always had a question. Your interior doesn't look very large, so how do you manage to fit so many weapons?"

"This kind of thing is just like asking a girl about her weight. It's forbidden." Big Hello extended his robotic arm and gently tapped Ross's head with a familiar paper fan. "It's getting late. Time to go back to bed."

"Do you still need me to sing you a lullaby today? Or should I teach that girl named Malu to sing? Or I can ask Christina to sing it for you. She has already learned it."

"No need! Stop reading the private stuff that shameful Char wrote into the book!"

"But you're an NT. A book written by an NT specifically for NT development shouldn't be wrong."

"Uh... Is this your plan? Damn Char!"

After knowing that his glorious image was shattered, Ross subconsciously wanted to curse Char loudly, calling him a despicable fellow. However, when he saw the space shuttle parked quietly not far away, he could only lower his voice.

……

The next day, when everyone woke up, the new warship had completed data entry and basic debugging.

If it was Orb that did the debugging, it might take a few more days. However, as the former wetware reserves, the Harrows' computing speed and working hours were slightly inferior even after the adjustments. After working overtime without sleep, they finally completed the preliminary debugging in the shortest time.

On a separate note, these Haro guys still have the computing power to do Vtuber live broadcasts after work, calling it "24-hour endurance return", which attracted some viewers who were not sure whether they were from the Earth Federation or plants to post a lot of popcorn in the live broadcast room.

"Still doing Vtuber live broadcasts? Do you want to drive your viewers to death?!" Marvin, with green hair, slapped a gray Hello away in front of everyone.

"Quack! Brother Rhodes, Marvin is bullying me again!" A young man's scream came from the speaker of the gray Harrow. When he was knocked away, the sound was even slightly distorted due to the rotation.

"Ahem... Marvin, it's better not to be so harsh on them." Seeing the scene before him, Ross coughed twice. "After all, unlike you, their only means of entertainment right now may be the Internet."

"I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about their viewers dying suddenly!" Ma Wen sighed and spread his hands. "They told me that there are a few people squatting in their live broadcast room. I don't want them to lose a few lives just because they are Vtubers."

"Forget it, let's get back to business." Marvin patted his face to regain his composure.

"According to the designation on the blueprints, the Millennium-class Neo Argama has been officially delivered." Marvin gave Ross a somewhat uncharacteristic military salute, his expression serious. "Please appoint a new captain, Captain Ross."

Although they usually jokingly called Ross "Big Brother", the title of Captain was quite unique among the Haro people. It was a title that belonged only to Ross. When this title came out of the mouths of these people, it meant that their attitude at this moment had become serious.

"...It seems there's not much choice here." Rhodes thought for a moment and gave Marvin a not-so-standard military salute.

"Malu, Natal, I hope you can continue to serve as the captain and deputy captain of this new Argama." Ross put down his hands and looked at the two people standing next to him.

"Huh?" Marilu was stunned. She had never expected that Ross would let her be the captain. After all, she had just commanded the sinking of a battleship. According to rational reasoning, Baki Lulu might be more suitable for this position than herself.

"Okay... okay." When Mariu reacted, he subconsciously saluted Ross.

"...I understand. I hope I can live up to your trust." Compared to Marilu's unexpected attitude, Bakilulu seemed to have anticipated it. "So, how do we arrange the crew members next?"

Although she should ask the captain, Marilu, for his opinion, but considering that this battleship was strictly speaking Ross's personal property, Bakilu thought for a moment and then asked Ross.

"Just follow the Archangel's position. The specific arrangements will depend on Mariu." Ross scratched his head. "You know, I'm best at building things and piloting mobile suits. Let's leave these professional things to professionals."

……

Before arriving in this world, Ross had seen some of the theatrical releases, and while he'd forgotten much, he did remember the Millennium's appearance quite clearly. He knew the ship's prototype was the Super Minerva class, but that many changes had been made to the subsequent design. To distinguish it, he'd simply given it the Millennium-class name.

As for why he was so impressed by the battleship Millennium, it was probably because the thermal ram stimulated the greenskin gene in Ross's heart.

Back to the point, although the appearance of this new Argama is the same as that of the Millennium, its overall size is almost twice as large. For this reason, Ross spent a considerable amount of money on the battleship, so when upgrading the Jegan, he had to be very careful with his calculations in order to achieve the ultimate cost-effectiveness.

But the result is that the hangar space of the new Argama is quite spacious, and the lifting device of the catapult deck can also accommodate Richard in MA form, so it does not look as cramped as the original version.

Most of the technology used in the New Argama is from the Archangel, such as the nuclear fusion reactor and thrusters, which were added after the blueprints were revised over and over again. Of course, some abstract designs were also cancelled when the blueprints were updated.

For example, the abstract dome glass cabin that appeared after the bridge entered combat mode was deleted by Ross.

When Mariu and others entered the bridge of the New Agama, Christina was already waiting there.

At the back of the bridge space, a huge blue Haro was quietly docked in a special fixed position, its green eyes flickering as it observed the people walking in.

The Hellos who were sitting in their fixed positions at various control panels all looked at the people who walked into the bridge. This scene made Mirialia, as a girl, feel a little uneasy.

But soon, the group of Harrows turned around and went about their own business.

"Come here, I will introduce you to the specific weapons." Christina looked at Mariu who was observing the status of the bridge and nodded.

"The entire New Argama has a total of eight Rohangrin Sun electronic cannons, four at the bow and two on each wing."

As she spoke, Christina called up the various weapons of the New Agama on the console in front of her.

"Three quadruple-mounted Goldfield large-caliber beam cannons, two in front of the bridge, one at the rear of the battleship, and a quadruple-mounted Bariant railgun in the center, to deal with emergencies..."

"These armed forces..." Looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar armed names marked on the battleship schematic, Malu was stunned for a moment.

"Looks familiar, doesn't it?" Christina looked at Malu and explained calmly, "Although these weapons weren't used initially, Ross later used the same weapons as the Archangel when updating the blueprints, and enhanced the design."

"Besides, part of the data of this battleship now comes from the data copied from the Archangel."

The battleship display on the screen is constantly cycling through various weapons.

Thermal rams, beam thunders, sixteen-barreled missile launchers, eight wire-controlled floating guns, and countless defense turrets and hell darts... all appeared one by one on the image of the New Argama.

"For digital life, data is their soul, which means..."

Christina looked at Mariu and Bakilulu seriously, speaking word by word.

"You can understand it as... the New Argama is the continuation of the Archangel."

PS: Second update today.

Is the latest volume of Yuegao's great writer skating big? Can skating give you NT abilities?!

No way, NTD is used to detect these things.

I would like to call Unicorn the ban D pioneer.

Volume 110: Chapter : New Agama, Set Sail!

The New Argama was still quietly parked in the dock, with the armor raised on the bridge, as if it had closed its eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.

But things in the bridge were not as calm as they seemed.

"...Set the target and trigger time for the space missile Neidhart, and spread it at the stern!" In the bridge with the protective armor raised, Baki Lulu's voice echoed.

In the slightly dim bridge due to the entry into combat mode, the images projected from the portholes onto the protective armor showed a scene of a fierce space battle.

In the video, three Archangel-class battleships were biting the stern of the New Argama, and the twin-mounted Goldfield beam cannons were pouring a barrage of bullets towards the New Argama.

Several assault tanks equipped with air combat backpacks or artillery combat backpacks were surrounding the New Argama, constantly looking for opportunities in the firepower network of the anti-aircraft artillery and trying to launch an attack on the New Argama.

In order to familiarize the crew with the operation of the equipment on the New Argama, and also to allow the Haro in charge of various instruments to learn battleship operations, the New Argama was installed with a simulated combat program that was continued from the Jegan era.

Of course, Ross couldn't put pressure on them during their first familiarization with battleship operation, so he didn't release the ν Gundam and instead used the assault formed by Mu's control data.

On the screen, two waves, totaling thirty-two missiles, were scattered in space and bypassed by three Archangel-class missiles.

"Spread anti-photon thunder and change the direction of advance!" Mariu, who was sitting in the captain's seat, made a decision when he saw that they had reached the optimal distance.

More than a dozen small missiles flew out of the missile silo at the bow of the ship and exploded behind the New Argama.

Whether it was the assault attack or the beam attacks of the three Archangel-class ships, they were all disrupted and dispersed when they passed through the particle cloud formed after the explosion of the anti-photon thunder, just like water hitting a hard stone.

Arnold manipulated the rudder, and the attitude nozzles on the hull sprayed out blue flames and burst out with powerful thrust. The New Argama completed a U-turn on its original route without even turning.

Compared to the Archangel, the powerful thrust of the New Argama made Arnold almost think that he was driving a powerful MA.

"Release the wire-controlled floating cannons! Thor, if one of them is destroyed, you will have to go and practice more!" Mu, who was sitting in a fire control position, grinned and controlled four wire-controlled floating cannons to break away from the warship and launch a fierce attack on those attackers.

Although I am an MS pilot now, flying a MA using a wire-controlled floating gun pod is my specialty!

The ship-gun-class wire-controlled floating gun fired accurately at the assault tank, easily breaking through the PS armor and blowing one of the assault tanks into pieces.

"Lohangrin deploys, targeting the Archangel level!" Malu looked at the scene on the screen, as if waiting for something.

The armor on the bow of the New Argama unfolded, revealing the internal positron gun barrel track, and the devices on the wings on both sides also unfolded, revealing the two positron guns inside.

I saw that the space missile that had been released earlier ended its countdown, completed its activation, and emitted flames from its tail.

Almost in an instant, they locked onto the three Archangel-class aircraft carriers not far away, and at an extremely fast speed, before the Archangel-class anti-aircraft turrets had time to react, they slammed into their thrusters.
