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

I saw 22 dragoons surrounding the unicorn, and the dense beams of light were like a spider web, almost capturing the unicorn.

If a normal person saw such a dense number of floating cannons, they might just give up.

But Ross had faced the "Great Sun Wheel ν Gundam" in simulated training, and had managed to hold out for two minutes in Amuro's floater without hacking into it. Furthermore, these floaters clearly had signs of manual control... If they were manually controlled, there must be a flaw that could serve as a breakthrough point.

In the next moment, Rhodes found several floaters that could serve as "breakthrough points." As the trigger on the joystick was pressed, the unicorn turned and flew in another direction in front of the beam net formed by several light beams, and looked up at a floater not far away.

The shells fired from the Vulcan cannon on the head formed two chains of ammunition, which easily tore apart the floating cannon and created holes in the originally airtight "beam spider web".

"What?!" LK1 widened his eyes as he watched the broken encirclement on the screen. He began to control the Dragoons, who had just returned to the Kshatriya and were rapidly charging, to attack again.

"Good opportunity!" He once again controlled the Unicorn and used the Vulcan cannon on its head to detonate a floater. While the Kshatriya hadn't reacted yet, Rhodes flew out through the gap created by the lack of the floater.

"Don't even think about running!" Seeing that the unicorn was about to break free from the encirclement, Prokos became anxious and activated the four beam cannons near the Kshatriya's chest, and the scattered white beams flew towards the unicorn.

The dragoon, which had just been released again, also flew towards the unicorn that had escaped the encirclement, and shot out green beams from the muzzle again.

The unicorn passed through the gaps between the beams of light very smoothly like a fish swimming in the sea, and grabbed a passing dragoon in its hand.

The interface of the unicorn's palm began to adjust rapidly and completed docking with the dragoon.

"Hmph, the interface is connected... Okay, I'm already on their 'LAN'. With a single command, their floater will be yours." Big Hello was clearly in a good mood, shaking the wings on his head. "But the signal radiation range of the unicorn state doesn't seem to be very large... You know what to do, right?"

"...Of course I know." Hearing Big Hello's reply, Ross grinned and laughed. "It's time to counterattack, Unicorn!"

As if sensing Ross's current mood, the unicorn, which was moving through the beam net, raised its head and looked at the Kshatriya not far away. It unfolded its armor, revealing a red light beneath it.

The unicorn dragged the red light and smoothly escaped from the beam net again, appearing in the sight of the Kshatriya.

"It's deformed... As expected, it's the same as in the image... GUNDAM..." Looking at the red-glowing machine in front of him and the distinctive face on it, Prokos tightened his grip.

At this moment, LK1 and LK2 stared with wide eyes at the screen, where the dragoons were disappearing one by one in the operation list.

"...Get out of the way! Those dragoons are not ours!"

"What are you farting about?" After being reminded by LK2, Prokos also noticed that the dragoon identification marks on the screen were being rapidly eliminated one by one.

The dragoons, which had been constantly maneuvering, were now floating quietly in the universe without any movement.

The unicorn in front of him was shining red. It stretched out its free hand towards the Kshatriya and slowly made a fist gesture.

The only 18 remaining dragoons quickly changed direction, and in less than half a second, the dragoon icons that had disappeared reappeared on the Kshatriya's screen.

However, the friendly army icon, which was originally blue, turned red, the same as the unicorn icon, indicating the "enemy".

Following his instinct, Prokos controlled the Kshatriya to fold its three remaining wings and enter a defensive posture like a broken flower bud.

"What's going on?! Why have all these dragoons become enemies?" Looking at the scene in front of him that could be described as "committing a crime in front of the husband", Prokos's eyes widened.

"They hacked into our control system and took control of our Dragoons... No, now the Dragoons have become theirs!" LK1 was sweating profusely as he kept typing on the keyboard in the driver's seat, trying to take back control of the Dragoons.

But obviously, even the strongest adjuster would not be able to get away with it in front of Big Harrow, not to mention LK1 at this time. He had been operating for so long but still couldn't take back the control of the Dragoon.

"Damn it..." Prokos watched helplessly as several dragoons continuously shot at the Kshatriya's wings at a precise angle, eventually melting a small hole. Other dragoons also continued to shoot at the inside of the wing through this broken weakness.

While the Kshatriya was retracting its beam saber, a dragoon used its remaining power to burst out at an extremely fast speed at a tricky angle, crashed into the Kshatriya's left shoulder, and opened fire at close range.

In the aircraft status diagram, the left shoulder of the Kshatriya turned black in an instant, and accompanied by an explosion, it could be clearly seen in the cockpit that the Kshatriya's left arm was blown away.

Although PS armor has excellent defense against live ammunition, it is powerless against light beams.

As if sharks smelling blood, the remaining low-powered dragoons also rushed towards the exposed left shoulder weakness of the Kshatriya.

"Aaaaaah... Don't come over here!" Prokos shouted subconsciously as he saw the dragoons flying towards the Kshatriyas.

He stepped on the pedal subconsciously, and the Kshatriya gave up his defensive posture and tried to move away from the dragoons at an extremely fast speed. The beam cannon near his chest sprayed beams at the dragoons.

Many dragoons were hit by the beams and exploded midway, but many beams also hit the "library" that had stopped rotating, making the already dilapidated "library" even worse.

"Huh... safe." Finally, while retreating and counterattacking, the attacking dragoons were completely destroyed, and the remaining dragoons stopped operating due to lack of power.

But at this time, LK1 and LK2 stopped all actions and looked at the cockpit screen.

Prokos, who had just taken a breath, followed the silent gazes of LK1 and LK2 and looked at the cockpit screen.

The unicorn appeared in front of him and took out the beam rifle in the video that could destroy everything in one shot. The plant colony satellite that he used as a shield just rotated quietly behind the unicorn.

"Hee... can we reconcile?" Realizing his situation was hopeless, Prokos's genetic survival instinct made him speak. "I vote..."

Without waiting for Prokos to continue operating, Rhodes pulled the trigger on the control grip without hesitation.

A red high-energy beam burst out from the muzzle and hit the Kshatriya's chest, easily dissolving a large hole in the center of the Kshatriya and splitting it into pieces.

In order to pull the Kshatriya away from Plant's colony satellite and prevent it from continuing to use the colony satellite as a shield, Ross used the dragoons captured from the Kshatriya to ram it along a specially designed route, inducing the Kshatriya to retreat.

Now it seems that the plan was successful. The Kshatriya retreated along the route he planned, allowing him to change positions with him.

"Huh... It's over." Having dealt with the most troublesome machine in front of him, Ross breathed a sigh of relief and glanced behind him at the plant agricultural colony satellite that was still operating peacefully.

For some reason, the garrison on the colony seemed to be completely indifferent, allowing the library and Ross to fight fiercely without showing up.

But now is not the time to continue to be dazed. At this moment, Luo Qiuer and Cong Yunhe are still being besieged by other machines in the library.

But their mecha driving skills...why does it feel like Isaac can beat them up?

Rhodes shook his head and stepped on the pedal again. The unicorn dragged a stream of red light and flew towards the Red Heretic and the Blue Heretic who were fighting each other.

----split line----

PS: There is one more update for today, but it probably won’t be available tonight, so it will be pushed to tomorrow morning.

The weather is getting colder, and my typing speed has slowed down a lot.

Volume 123: Chapter Bazooka? Here You Go!

The battle around the library continued, but at this time, except for the garrison on the agricultural colony satellite who were anxiously waiting for the order to attack, Durandal fell into silence.

Ignoring the one-sided battle situation in which the library's machines began to lose personnel rapidly due to the addition of the Unicorn, Durandal's focus at this moment was entirely on the video recording of the battle between the Unicorn and the Kshatriya.

He opened a document and dragged the progress bar of the video from time to time, analyzing the battle just now.

Although Durandal was a little surprised by the library-made Kshatriya's use of the Dragoon, after seeing the Unicorn catch a Dragoon and tear its armor to show the "Gundam" posture, he subconsciously frowned at the result that the Kshatriya completely lost control of the Dragoon.

"After capturing the Dragoon, he directly gained control of the system... In other words, Amuro cracked the Dragoon's operating system? No, with the time it took to travel through the beam just now, even the strongest Adjuster wouldn't be able to perform such an operation..." Durandal typed the word "Dragoon" on the document and paused again. "...Or is it that there's a special AI built into the machine?"

Putting aside the wetware of Blue Cosmos, the best artificial intelligence in the world is probably Xiaoba in Luo Juel's hands, but Durandal did not know the existence of Xiaoba, so he could only compare it with the currently known artificial intelligence and concluded that "there is a very powerful artificial intelligence in the unicorn."

Of course, Durandal still couldn't rule out the possibility that Ross was manipulating Unicorn 1 to avoid the beam attack while cracking the Dragoon operating system.

"Sure enough, when facing a unicorn, it is better to use wire control." After thinking about it, Durandal shook his head and typed the words "wire control" after the label "Dragoon".

Although the wired-controlled Dragoon is much behind the current wireless version and its shooting angle is not as flexible as the wireless version, when facing an enemy like the Unicorn that can take away the Dragoon, ensuring that the body's weapons are under one's control is the top priority.

However, a machine like the Kshatriya also gave Durandal some ideas.

……

"Is that... a floater?" Ross frowned as he looked at the two white mobile suits in front of him that were releasing floaters.

Ross felt a little tired after dealing with more than twenty Kshatriya dragoons and the overwhelming beams of light. Since the dragoons did not belong to the Sekmeu system, the Unicorn could not quickly counterattack and could only continuously capture the dragoons to find an interface to seize control.

However, if long-range attacks were used to eliminate these floating guns, ZAFT's agricultural satellites would be within their range of fire and would inevitably be affected by the Magnum beams.

Apparently, the man named "Dylandar" who had just spoken to him was still suppressing the garrison on the agricultural satellite. Otherwise, ZAFT's troops would have been dispatched the next second after the war started. If the agricultural satellite was affected by the Magnum beam, then this fragile balance would have collapsed.

But... just because I don't have suitable weapons doesn't mean others don't.

Ross turned his gaze away from the two machines that continuously released Dragoons, searching for a suitable target.

"Then the target is you!" At this moment, Ross saw an orange and white machine and a slightly familiar face that could see the shadow of a duel.

The reason why this machine was chosen was because Ross saw that it was holding a thing that looked like a bazooka, and there was also a beam rifle on its waist that was similar to the Duel.

Such conventional weapons are what Rhodes needs most.

The most important point is that this machine runs slowly, and its maneuverability is similar to that of an improved version of the Storm next to it.

Why not target the Storm Improved? It's simply because Ross hasn't used a bazooka in a long time and now misses this weapon.

Ross stepped on the pedal, and the Unicorn passed near the two white mobile suits' floaters. It had already retracted its beam magnum, and its free right hand extended the beam saber on its forearm.

With a smooth roll, a floater was chopped into pieces by Ross's sword, but he did not feel sad for a moment about the death of the floater. The next moment, the white MS appeared in front of the beam saber, rotating the disk on its right shoulder and using the floater as a turret!

"Roz?! You come..." Luo Juel, currently under siege by several library mobile suits and harassed by the Dragoons, looked at the Unicorn charging into the battlefield with surprise. But the next moment, he saw the Unicorn shatter the disc-shaped shoulder armor of the white mobile suit and then fly away towards another orange-white mobile suit. He was stunned for a moment. "...Ah, it's gone again."

At this moment, the orange and white MS, which looked like an improved duel version, saw the approaching unicorn and pulled out a beam saber from its knee with its right hand.

The next moment, Unicorn's shield slammed into the orange-white MS, knocking his hand aside.

"Want to run? Hand over your bazooka!" Looking at the bazooka so close to him, Rhodes showed a healthy smile.

Before the pilot of the orange-white machine could react, the Unicorn moved to his left side, and the beam saber pierced directly into the waist of the machine and came out from the other side.

To prevent a possible counterattack, Ross stirred the beam saber twice inside the machine before sheathing the blade.

With his left hand, he took out the same beam rifle as the one used in the duel from the waist of this machine, and with his right hand, he grabbed the weapon that looked like some kind of electromagnetic bazooka fixed by the mechanical arm.

As his right hand exerted force, the mechanical arm on the rocket launcher was twisted off, and the high-energy battery that was affected by the beam saber and was about to explode was thrown out.

The Unicorn's hand interface began to synchronize rapidly, and the armament information quickly appeared in the full-circle cockpit.

"Gun of Greed, electromagnetic bazooka... I haven't used a bazooka in a long time, I hope the feel is still fresh." Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar name, Ross raised the bazooka in his hand and fired a shot at the retreating improved version of the Storm.

The shell shot out from the muzzle at an extremely fast speed and accurately hit the... lower body of the improved Storm?

Although it didn't hit the cockpit, perhaps the PS armor's power was adjusted to coordinate with other armaments? This rocket overloaded the Storm Improved PS armor.

"The trajectory is deviating downwards... Did they change the parameters? Is it to prevent it from being picked up and used?" Looking at the rocket launcher that he had aimed at the cockpit of the aircraft but hit the lower body instead, Ross narrowed his eyes and moved the crosshairs up a little.

The shell flew out from the muzzle again, accurately hitting the improved Storm Gundam that had lost its PS armor, tearing the cockpit of the Storm Gundam into pieces.

Just like Ross knew the approximate location of the cockpit of the Strike, Ross also knew the approximate location of the cockpit of the Storm Gundam, which was still in Orb's hands and had not been returned.

"Then next... it's your turn!" Without the slightest hesitation, Ross raised the duel-style beam rifle in his left hand and accurately detonated the two floating cannons that had just flown out.

"Roz?! You're here again?!" As the unicorn approached again, Luo Juel, controlling the Red Heretic, drew his greatsword and slashed back the Gale Strike Gundam, complaining, "Hurry and destroy these two Fubuki Divine Wills! He and I can't hold on any longer!"

At this time, the Blue Heretic controlled by Cong Yunhe was holding a beam rifle in one hand and a broadsword in the other, constantly circling around a white MS, trying to find a way to rush to the side of Fubuki's Divine Will.

In response to Luo Qiuer, there were several green beams of light.

These beams accurately exploded several Dragoons, creating a fire vacuum.

The unicorn, carrying the electromagnetic bazooka of the Gun of Greed, broke through the gap in the battle, turned around suddenly, and stepped on the body of a Snowblowing Divine Will with a flying kick of both feet.

Even in the storm duel just now, the rocket launcher had to be assisted by a robotic arm. In the hands of the Unicorn, three shells were fired in a very short time.

Two of the shots destroyed Fubuki Shinyi's PS armor, and the third shot hit Fubuki Shinyi's battery, causing him to explode directly at the feet of the unicorn.

While the other SnowBlizzard Divine Will was distracted, Cong Yunhe quickly seized the opportunity, and Lan Heretic rushed in front of the SnowBlizzard Divine Will in front of him.

At such a close distance, the dragoon was completely useless, and the Fubuki Divine Will could only draw out its beam saber.

But the next second, the blue sword chopped off the Snow Blowing Divine Will and sent it flying.

"Well done!" Ross, who had just destroyed a Blizzard Divine Will, roughly estimated the PS armor status and approximate trajectory of the Blizzard Divine Will that was chopped away by Cong Yunji, and raised his hand skillfully to fire.

Two shells broke the Fubuki Shenyi that had just been chopped off in half. The shells that broke the body even flew to the "library", opening another hole in the already dilapidated outer wall of the base.

Cong Yunhe was not polite either. After all, he was not very clear about the location of Fubuki Shenyi's cockpit. The giant sword in his hand stabbed into Fubuki Shenyi's upper body from bottom to top, crushing the broken cockpit and all the body components.

"Good cooperation." At this time, Cong Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief and threw the remains of the Snow Blowing Divine Will off the greatsword. The Blue Heretic nodded to the Unicorn and turned to fly towards the two Gale Assaults that were besieging the Red Heretic.

At this moment, a red and white high-energy beam shot out from a distance and destroyed a MS that was about to fly out of the "library".

"...Mu, four mobile suits are flying towards you. I'm going back now..." Ross saw two Gale Assaults, one Storm Duel, and one Modified Storm flying towards the Assault piloted by Mu, and subconsciously wanted to fly back to the battleship.

"No... go tear down that 'library' to prevent any further trouble." Mu's voice rang out over the comms. "Even though I can't defeat you, I can still handle these machines."

"You should have some faith in the abilities of me, Mariu, and the others."

"...I understand. Call me if you can't hold on any longer." Ross was silent for a moment, then turned around with the Unicorn and looked at the "library" in front of him. He replaced the duel-style beam rifle in his left hand with a beam magnum.

"Heh... How can a man say he can't hold on?"

In the communication, Mu Xiao cursed and laughed in a cheerful voice.
