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

"This modification... is too outrageous. Can the Assault's shoulders withstand it?" Mu, who had sat in the Assault early, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the machine in front of him.

"What a mess of modifications..." Ross glanced at the blue and white Assault machines, which had abandoned their shooting capabilities and were completely adapted for close combat. "It's like they didn't even read the manual."

As Ross spoke, Haro in the hangar operated the transport device and placed the hangar with the Unicorn fixed on the lift deck. The lift deck operated smoothly, transporting the Unicorn to the catapult deck.

One electromagnetic accelerator after another rose up to form a catapult channel. The fixed frame used to stabilize the Unicorn's center of gravity was unfolded and retracted under the catapult deck.

Looking at the universe, where Luo's "RE home" was being besieged by five modified blue and white assault ships not far away, Ross took a deep breath as usual.

"Roz Links, Unicorn Gundam, attacks."

The Unicorn stepped on the pedal and bent its knees slightly. The catapult received the signal and started. The aircraft quickly moved along the catapult channel formed by the electromagnetic accelerator until it reached the end of the catapult deck and separated from the catapult device.

The Unicorn's thrusters, which seemed small compared to other machines, burst into thick flames, allowing the Unicorn to rush towards the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at the five machines marked on the Quan Zhou Tian cockpit, Ross expertly dialed Luo Qiu'er's communication channel.

"Hello, hello, this is Luo Qiu'er's recycling house. It's not convenient to chat now. You can leave a message..." In the communication, Luo Qiu'er's voice was mixed with some kind of collision and the sound of the body alarm.

"Roz, get out of the way!" Ross raised the beam magnum in Unicorn's hand, took aim slightly, and pulled the trigger.

"Huh?" Luo obviously recognized Ross's voice from the communication. Although he didn't know why, Luo subconsciously stepped back.

Suddenly, a thick red beam of light appeared from the side of the battlefield and accurately hit a blue and white assault tank.

This assault machine was caught in the torrent of red light beams, and before it could last more than a few seconds, its armor was dissolved and disappeared in the light beams.

The high-energy electric current cut through the attackers near the red light beam. Luo Qiuer saw with his own eyes the blue and white attackers in front of him, raising the shield behind him as a balance wing, trying in vain to block the purple high-energy electric current.

But the shield was cut in half by the high-energy beam, and the purple electric current hit the blue and white assault, cutting the giant sword in the body's hand, as well as the shoulder armor modified from the air combat backpack, and detonating the high-energy battery inside the body.

With just one beam magnum, the three blue and white assault tanks were destroyed.

"Wow...what a powerful force..." Looking at the exploding wreckage in front of him, Luo Qiuer opened his mouth subconsciously.

"Such power... is no different from the main guns of the warships of the two major forces, and is even stronger than the main guns of some of their warships." At this time, the driver from the blue heretic spoke in Luo Qiu'er's communicator.

As if aware of the threat posed by the unicorn, the only two remaining blue and white assault planes gave up attacking Luo Juel and "RE home" and flew towards the unicorn instead.

One of the blue and white assault aircraft pulled out the beam rifle mounted on its waist and fired continuously at the Unicorn.

Ross didn't even bother to control the unicorn to dodge. He skillfully raised the shield in his left hand and activated the beam shield to block the incoming particle beam.

"Rods, stop firing that beam rifle of yours! Otherwise, your beam will pass through this machine and hit the plant's agricultural colony satellite!" Ross was about to raise the beam magnum in his hand when Luo Jule's voice came from the communication.

Ross smacked his lips and could only retract the beam magnum in his hand.

It seemed that this was the effect they needed. A blue and white assault ship passed over the shooting assault ship, and the propulsion behind it sprayed out fierce flames and quickly advanced towards the unicorn.

The Unicorn was already flying towards the battlefield at an extremely fast speed. The distance between the two machines was rapidly shortened. The blue and white Strike skillfully swung the red and blue giant sword in his right hand towards the Unicorn, accurately cutting the Unicorn's shield.

"Hmm?" Looking at the high-frequency vibration warning displayed on the full-circle cockpit, Rhodes narrowed his eyes, pulled the joystick, and stepped on the pedal.

The unicorn slightly deflected the direction of the shield, allowing the greatsword, which was in a high-frequency vibration state, to slash away from the side of the shield. The unicorn then turned and went around to the right side of the blue and white heretic.

Immediately afterwards, the Unicorn flipped its left hand, which was equipped with a shield, and grasped the blue and white Strike's right arm, and the body turned counterclockwise at an extremely fast speed.

The blue and white Assault's right hand was suddenly overwhelmed by such a powerful force that the PS armor on the body, which had weakened some of its performance in order to adapt to the modification, instantly overloaded and shut down. The entire arm, along with the red and blue greatsword in its hand, was torn off by the Unicorn, and the remaining body was thrown away.

This blue and white Assault Rover with a broken arm followed the direction of the Unicorn's previous force and collided with the beam of light shot towards the Unicorn by another intact blue Assault Rover that was still intact. Fortunately, the shield connected to the mechanical arm on the backpack was quickly raised to block the incoming beams.

But before the pilot of the blue and white Raider could breathe a sigh of relief, Unicorn retracted the Beam Magnum on his right forearm, extended a beam saber, and accurately stabbed it into the cockpit of the Raider.

After all, the Assault was a machine that had been with the Archangel for a long time. Having served under the pilots of Kira and Mu, Ross naturally knew the approximate location of the Assault's cockpit.

However, considering that this is a modified aircraft, the possibility of the cockpit position being changed cannot be ruled out.

Ross narrowed his eyes at this thought, and the Unicorn's right hand swung back and forth quickly, cutting the blue and white Assault Machine in half. The battery of the modified air combat backpack installed behind the Assault Machine was detonated, and the entire machine was blown apart.

The unicorn rushed out from the flames of the explosion and rushed towards the last blue and white assault tank. Its white armor was not even stained with any smoke or dust.

When the unicorn's hand grasped the red and blue greatsword, the universal interface began to automatically adapt to the interface of the greatsword and read the specific information of this weapon.

Rhodes couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after taking a look at the information displayed on the Quan Zhoutian cockpit.

This weapon, called the "Wing Saw Ship-Slashing Sword", can analyze the hardness of the enemy's armor in a brief contact and adjust its own vibration rate. Simply put, it is a high-frequency weapon.

Obviously, this ship-cutting sword is the main weapon of these modified versions of the blue and white assault rifles. It completely abandons the versatility of the assault rifles in replacing other backpacks, and instead focuses on strengthening the close combat performance.

"Roz! These machines called 'Swishbone' are the work of the 'Librarians' organization I mentioned in the communication!" Luo Juel's voice came from the communication, and it was obvious that he had not yet reacted to the unexpected turn of events.

"I see. This machine's center of gravity problem is even worse than in a duel." Ross casually manipulated the pedals, and the Unicorn's thrust nozzles continued to operate, allowing the machine to perform several rolling maneuvers and avoid the remaining Gale Strike's shooting.

The driver of the Blue Heretic had obviously reacted and kept firing at the Gale Strike, disrupting the Gale Strike's actions.

After slightly dodging the Blue Heretic's shooting, seeing that the Unicorn was about to enter its advantageous combat distance, the only remaining Gale Strike threw away the beam rifle in his hand and drew the ship-slashing sword at his waist as a balance wing.

Then, Unicorn took the ship-cutting sword in his left hand that he had snatched from the hand of the Swift Strike that had just exploded, and chopped it down at the Swift Strike in front of him.

The surging power brought by the miniaturization of the Archangel battleship's nuclear reactor also increased the output of the body, which was several times greater than that of the Gale Strike, a melee-specialized machine. In just a moment of contact, the Gale Strike extended its other ship-cutting sword under the Unicorn's sword to resist this powerful impact.

The next moment, Unicorn raised the Ship-Slashing Sword again and chopped it on the two swords of Gale Strike, sending this melee-specialized machine flying.

The thrusters spurted out thick flames, and Unicorn approached the Gale Strike again at an extremely fast speed. The beam saber on the forearm of its right hand once again accurately stabbed into the cockpit of the Gale Strike.

Then, the Gale Strike was split in two from head to toe by Unicorn's beam saber.

……

"Saved, saved..." The Red Heretic stood on the catapult deck of the New Agama, and Luo Qiuer wiped the sweat from his forehead. "If you had been a step later, I might have died."

"Judging from your luck, you shouldn't die." Rhodes controlled the Unicorn and placed the ship-slashing sword he had just picked up from the battlefield, which was still usable, on the catapult deck, allowing the Haro men to control the engineering machinery to recover the spoils.

Ross wanted to see if he could come up with any interesting weapons from these ship-slicing swords, so he picked them up as samples.

"By the way, is this your new battleship? It's so impressive... more than twice as big as the RE home." Luo Juel observed the New Agama carefully, a surprised expression on his face. "But... why does your battleship look so similar to ZAFT's latest battleship?"

"It's just possible that they had the same idea as their designers. After all, you know, no matter how diverse human aesthetics are, there will always be a basic similarity..." Before setting off, Ross had heard Andrew, Lacus, and Aslan inquire about the New Agama several times, so he habitually brought out his own arguments.

"I don't quite understand... but what you're saying is that the aesthetics of steel products are universal." Luo Juel gave Ross a thumbs-up over the comms. "I understand that feeling very well."

"I'm glad you understand... Then, what's this person's name?" Although he felt that Luo Qiuer might have misunderstood something, Ross ended the topic of the New Agama and turned to look at the Blue Heretic beside him.

"...Cong Yunhe, a mercenary from the Tail of the Giant Serpent." The driver of the Blue Heretic said his own name.

"...Roz, can he be trusted?" Ross narrowed his eyes upon hearing the name "mercenary." "Or is this mercenary simply here to fight for a commission?"

"Cong Yunhe is a trustworthy person, I guarantee it." Luo Qiuer's tone was very serious in response to Ross's question. "He volunteered to join me in the battle against that librarian organization."

Luo Juel has always been an image of a hot-blooded fool. As his good friend, Ross can naturally tell when he is serious.

Luo Jule is very serious about the matter of trust.

"...Since you believe him so much, then come in together." Ross was silent for a moment before making a decision. "Welcome to the New Agama."

"Also, I hope you won't betray Luo's trust, Mr. Cong Yunhe."

These words were spoken by Ross to Cong Yunhe on the Blue Heretic after he disconnected Luo Qiuer's communication.

In the communication, Cong Yunhe was silent for a long time before responding.

"…betrayal is not an option for me."

----split line----

PS: This is the first update today. The second update may not be available until tomorrow. I suggest everyone go to bed early.

I went out to eat tonight and almost got lost in the streets of Hong Kong. I finally walked to the door of the restaurant I wanted to eat at, but found that the restaurant was closed that day.

In the end, I still had to eat McDonald's, but to be honest, I actually felt that eating at McDonald's was cheaper than eating at other restaurants?

Volume 119: Chapter : Library Demolition Operation

On the New Agama, Ross finally saw Cong Yunhe, whom Luo Qiuer had mentioned.

He was a man with brown hair, about the same age as Mu. He wore a pair of glasses with orange lenses, and the color of his pupils could not be seen clearly.

However, Rhodes vaguely saw a string of unclear symbols from his pupils covered by glasses.

Probably cosmetic contact lenses, Ross didn't think much about it.

At this time, Luo Qiuer was telling about what he had discovered earlier.

"We previously infiltrated the agricultural colony and examined the connecting mechanism. If we want to safely detach the 'library' area from the plant's agricultural colony, 'Blaug,' we must go there and dismantle their connecting mechanism." Luo Zheng explained, facing the slightly abstract geometric shapes on the screen. "The connecting mechanism is a one-way lock, fixed to a key point on the agricultural satellite. If we use explosives to dismantle it, it might cause the colony to split apart."

"...If they were relying on themselves, they wouldn't be able to achieve such a stable connection with the colony, even embedding it at a critical point." Mu frowned as he looked at Luo Qiu'er's abstract geometric diagram. "I see... This is their plan, using the most advanced cloning technology in exchange for their own safety."

"Due to the Blood Valentine incident on Junius 7, ZAFT will respond to the colony attack with the highest intensity." Cong Yunhe, who had been silently observing the conference room, spoke up. "We may have to fight not only the library's units, but also ZAFT's support forces. This is the difficulty."

"But now that area is still part of the agricultural satellite. If we go to dismantle it, ZAFT will probably fight us." Rhodes narrowed his eyes as he looked at the abstract diagram drawn by Luo Juel.

"I've investigated the agricultural satellite, and they have virtually no idea what this component is for. They all think it's a design flaw." Cong Yunhe shook his head, explaining his findings. "Anyway, if that area is demolished, they won't take any action for a while."

"So... here's the rough plan." Luo Juel drew a cube and a few arrows on the tablet on the table. "These connecting mechanisms require Ross and I to sneak in and disconnect them. Then, I'll take the mobile suit and keep an eye on our machines outside, waiting for us to reunite."

"...Too dangerous, completely unfeasible. Is this just some spur-of-the-moment idea?" Upon hearing Law Jule's plan, Bakilulu objected. "In this situation, shouldn't we send in the Marines first..."

"Natal, now is not the time for the Earth Army. We don't have the Marines." After hearing Bakilulu's battle plan, Mari shook her head. "But, we should really think about the specific plan."

At this time, Luo Qiuer sighed and continued to draw a few strokes on the tablet on the table.

"I can certainly relate to your concerns, but removing those connecting components requires at least two mechanics. Otherwise, the force between the two blocks will concentrate on one component, causing damage to the node. This is the only solution I can think of right now."

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Ross.

As the most important member of Luo Qiu'er's plan, his opinion is also very important. If he disagrees, the demolition operation of this block will have to be replanned.

……

"Are you still in the mood for a vacation there?"

In a slightly dim room on the Minerva, the Archangel-class ship that was chasing the stolen Gundam, Durandal was looking at the tablet in his hand and listening to the words coming from the communication through an earphone.

"Someone has found our door. As a partner, the plant is your territory. Why don't you let the troops attack?"

A slightly hoarse voice sounded in the communication, and it was obvious that the person was a little angry about being found at his door.

"...Before the other party takes any extreme action, this is still at the stage of 'civilian organization dispute'. If I rashly order the dispatch of troops, your organization will be exposed, which is a result you don't want to see." Durandal calmly picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

"Besides, as a partner, if you need me no matter what happens, why should I continue to cooperate with you?"

"In short, ZAFT cannot take action until the agricultural satellite 'Blaug' is damaged."

"...Really? It seems that the people who attacked us this time also have that 'Unicorn'. Aren't you tempted?" Seeing that Durandal was unmoved, the voice on the other end of the communication was still tempting.

"Although I am very interested, considering your MS information, whether it is the past 'Phantom Beast Type 1', 'Phantom Beast Type 2' or the recent 'Phoenix', there is no relevant technical information. I also don't think your library can get information about the latest 'Unicorn', let alone the identity and genetic information of the pilot." When Durandal heard the name of the Unicorn, he leaned back in his chair, as if thinking about something, but his tone did not change.

Given that the machines piloted by Ross, whether Jegan or Zesta, all ended in self-destruction, and his caution regarding Psycho-Frame technology and NTD procedures, the library of the mysterious organization that claims to "collect all MS technology in the world" only contains images of these machines, and the specific manufacturing technology is unknown.

As for the Jegan D-type that Ross had previously sold to Orb, only one was produced in the mainland. Before it could be debugged, the mainland had to be blown up due to the attack of the Earth Army. The library had no time to collect information, and now they didn't even know where the evacuated Orb army was.

"Tsk... Once we get the information about the machine called Unicorn, you'd better prepare enough bargaining chips." Obviously, the library, which has a large amount of MS technology and a large number of machine modification models, does not know the enemy it is facing.

"Let's talk about it after you succeed..." Durandal didn't think they could defeat the Unicorn. What's more, the driver of that powerful machine could still drive the "Phantom Beast Type" to fight Cruze on equal terms, and even suppressed Cruze's ace at one point.

Even the crash of the "Phantom Beast II" was only killed by the Cruze team after it was exhausted from fighting the giant MA "Shambolo" from the Findersen Kingdom. Even Izak's duel was destroyed in the end, and only broken wreckage parts were left when it returned to the mainland.

"Anyway, I'll be observing your fight, that's all."

……

In the space near the plant agricultural colony satellite "Blaug", a Jin team is patrolling.

Although some Zaku Warriors have begun to equip on a small scale, it is obviously not their turn yet.

This more remote area of the universe seemed much calmer than other colonized satellites near the war zone. Even in the somewhat messy external structure of the "useless area", no unknown signals were detected.

Why don't the higher-ups just throw this useless area away and rebuild it...

Jin's driver thought about it for a while, then flew away with Jin.

"Adjusted LED display, and signal disguiser... you're amazing."

At this time, if those Jin Ens were to get a short distance above the "abandoned area", they would probably be able to see with the naked eye an unnatural bulge hidden on the external structure.

However, the adjusted LED display screens spread all over this bulge, plus the signal camouflager disguised as some kind of engine component, gave this "camouflage device" modified from two containers loaded with MS a somewhat mirage system effect.

Cong Yunhe watched the Jin En team flying past not far from him, but did not notice himself, and the containers of Unicorn and Red Heretic were placed on his left and right respectively.

"Anyway, this is behind the plant, so the alert isn't that high." Ross's voice came over the comms. "Also, where's Mu?"
