Gundam UC Hunting Time

A moment later, the details of the seven cards were revealed one by one. Each card contained two basic attribute points: Charisma +1 and Spirit +1, which was quite rare. There were three skills: Critical Strike Penetration +1, Emergency Repair +1, and the first-ever Combat Command +1. Critical Strike Penetration was unremarkable, but the Emergency Repair skill played a crucial role in this battle, truly changing Lin Xingyuan's opinion. As for Combat Command, its appearance was quite expected, no different from a graduation certificate. Then there were two design blueprints: one was the design blueprint for the CE Beam experimental Xigu NOL-Y941 laser heavy slashing sword, and the other was the complete design blueprint for Baku.

Lin Xingyuan wasn't a sword addict or obsessed with ship-slaying swords, but this thing could serve as a technological reserve, coming in handy once anti-beam coatings became widespread in the future. As for Baku's design drawings, they truly exceeded Lin Xingyuan's expectations—it was a complete design, meticulous in every detail, basically requiring only minor adjustments to be production-ready—for example, replacing the original quantum computer with a computer from the UC world, and replacing the two-seater cockpit that even Naturals could use with a single-person cockpit designed for Coordinators.

A barrage of praise immediately appeared in the comments, mostly agreeing with Lin Xingyuan's views.

Although the Baku is a localized beast-type mobile suit, usable only on the ground, its quadrupedal speed and short-range gliding capabilities allow it to traverse obstacles insurmountable by conventional tanks. Combined with its rear-mounted weapon platform, its combat prowess and mobility are undeniable, and it would undoubtedly play a significant role in the battlefield. However, the problem is that the Federation is currently focused on producing the GM, as well as similar platforms like the Guncannon and Guntank. Adding or removing the Baku makes little difference, and they may not be willing to invest the resources in its production.

Moreover, wouldn't it be a great pity if something so hard to obtain couldn't be turned into an asset?

After a moment's consideration, Lin Xingyuan decided to leave it to Durandal to operate, just as before. Ideally, he could wait until he controlled Augusta in the future, or after the war, to establish a new company to produce it and steal AE's business.

Then came the other pages. Lin Xingyuan took a closer look and his face lit up with joy.

The continuous battles greatly satisfied the audience, resulting in a flood of donations, including numerous "rewards," "merit votes," and various gifts. In addition, the number of razor blades received for his plot to assassinate Karma was astonishing.

He converted these rewards into skill experience, resulting in a significant increase in his Newtype level experience, Hawkeye reaching +4, Propulsion Master reaching +3, and even a bit of Luck!

As the hardest skill to obtain, Luck's experience bar is incredibly long, so getting +1 is truly difficult, and even the viewers in the chat are happy for him.

In short, the results of this lottery were quite good. Lin Xingyuan's six dimensions became Strength 10+7, Agility 10+7, Constitution 10+7, Intelligence 9+7, Charisma 8+9, and Spirit 10+7. His skills became New Type Human Lv1, Eagle Eye +4, Concealment +3, Critical Strike Penetration +3, Quick Defense +3, Propulsion Master +3, Emergency Repair +3, Luck +4, and Combat Command +1. Congratulations!

It doesn't directly increase combat power.

A Zeon reconnaissance plane flew by in the distance, greatly diminishing Lin Xingyuan's joy.

His first step in plotting against Karma was successful, but the second step proved very difficult.

The Federation forces lacked the capability to launch large-scale attacks. Even small-scale attacks were difficult for them, as they did not possess a warship like the Trojan Horse, making it hard to destroy the Gau-class vessel that Karma was aboard.

what can we do about it?

Wandering aimlessly through the hangar, he saw Lilith and the others huddled together near the experimental Doppelganger, so he went over to them.

"What are you doing?"

"Captain! We are studying tactics to deal with this type of machine!"

Upon hearing his question, Shirley Page, Lilith Aiden, and Anita quickly stood up and saluted, while Doris, who was typing away on her keyboard, remained still and asked without looking up.

"What's wrong, Captain? You look like you have a lot on your mind."

How would I know if you didn't even look?

Lin Xingyuan touched his face and asked curiously. Doris then raised her head and gave Lin Xingyuan a flirtatious wink.

"It's a woman's intuition, a woman's intuition~"

Seeing that Lilith and Sherry both looked confused, she grinned mischievously again.

"Ah~ the little girl really doesn't understand these things."

"you!"

The two people who were being teased were unhappy, and in the end, Anita revealed the answer.

"It's the footsteps that are different."

She had exceptionally keen hearing and noticed that Lin Xingyuan's steps were heavier than usual.

"I see." Lin Xingyuan suddenly realized, grinned, and immediately turned hostile: "Doris Brandt, for joking with your superior, you're in solitary confinement for a day."

Lilith: "Support!"

Sherry: "+1"

"what?"

Doris's mischievous smile froze on her face. Lin Xingyuan didn't give her a chance to joke around and instead asked a question.

"How's the research going?"

Chapter 135 The Method to Deal with the Great Demon and Djamitov's Summoning

"How's the research going?"

The subordinates exchanged glances, and Shirley Page, as the vice-captain, was the first to answer:

"It's very difficult to deal with. This machine called 'Doma' is fast and has thick armor, especially the thruster parts on its waist and legs, which have extremely strong ballistic protection. Unless you are at very close range, even a 100mm cannon cannot effectively penetrate it. The best way to deal with it is to use beam weapons."

Lilith Aiden chimed in, "Or slash with a beam saber at close range."

Anita stared at the screen, frowning. "It'll be hard to seize an opportunity, won't it? And judging from the data, this machine isn't weak in close-quarters combat; an ordinary pilot probably couldn't handle it."

Doris couldn't help but complain: "You guys are so rigid. Didn't the captain already demonstrate? Trip it with a cable and it flipped over on its own. You saw what happened to the driver, right? He fell and dislocated his cervical spine."

Lin Xingyuan wasn't satisfied. He had used the steel cable to trip the Great Demon, employing a clever, lateral force. If he were to actually fight the Great Demon head-on, he would most likely lose. So he asked again, "Are there any other methods?"

Shirley Page crossed her arms and, while gathering her thoughts, replied, "If the situation allows, we can make special landmines to deal with it."

Anita asked in confusion, "But it won't land! How do I trigger it?"

"The triggering device can be set to light-sensing, metal-sensing, or trigger-type, disguised as a bush or tree, and it will jump up and explode when touched. Its propulsion relies entirely on the air cushion effect formed by its two feet. If any one of the thrusters is damaged, it will immediately lose its levitation ability."

"Hmm, that's one way." Lin Xingyuan nodded, then looked at Lilith Aiden, "What about you? Any ideas?"

"Stun it with a flashbang, then rush in and slash it."

Lilith Aiden replied that although the idea lacked imagination, it reminded Lin Xingyuan of the "flashlight" of the mass-produced Dom equipment—Zeon's beam weapon technology was inadequate, and they could only produce this kind of low-power diffusion beam cannon, but it was unexpectedly practical in combat.

"Yes, the enemy will do the same thing, and they definitely will. Let's make this the next research topic."

He then looked at Doris, who immediately grinned mischievously and said, "If it were me, I would call in the artillery and missile units in the rear and bomb me as hard as I can."

With fiber optic communication, this is indeed possible. However, fiber optic cables can break, and this must be taken into account.

"What if the supporting firepower isn't timely?"

"I'll blow it up myself."

Indeed, her machine is equipped with missile launchers, allowing it to launch attacks autonomously. While the Dom is fast, it's still slower than a missile.

"What if the enemy intercepts or evades?"

"Replace the tripping steel cable with explosive cord used for mine clearance, and keep blowing it up."

"Explosive cord is a good thing," Lin Xingyuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What if we don't have explosive cord?"

"Then use rocket launchers and grenades to blow up the soles of its feet."

As expected of Doris, her mind is full of wicked tricks, perfectly matching the thoughts of the viewers in the live chat. Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but give her a thumbs up:

"Very good, that's a great idea."

"Does that mean we don't have to be put in solitary confinement anymore?"

Doris immediately seized the opportunity. Considering the merit of her method, Lin Xingyuan decided to give her a break:

"Alright, you pass."

"Hehehe~"

Doris winked smugly at the group. Shirley Page couldn't help but ask:

"Captain, do you have any solutions?"

"Um……"

Lin Xingyuan's thoughts were actually similar to Doris's, but since Doris had already spoken, he certainly couldn't give the same answer. His gaze swept over the Great Demon, noticing its "heating rod," and a flash of inspiration struck him:

"Explosive reactive armor for attaching to shields or the waist of the machine body."

"Huh?" The group was taken aback. Lin Xingyuan further explained, "This melee weapon of the Great Demon looks like a beam saber, but it is still a physical weapon at its core. It will trigger the explosive reactive armor. Even if it is not destroyed on the spot, it will be blown apart and deformed, giving the pilot a chance to fight back."

Imagine the Doom dodging all attacks, drifting at high speed to get close, ready to cut the target in half, only to have the weapon suddenly collide with the explosive reactive armor and be broken into several pieces by the metal jet. The pilots couldn't help but be amazed.

"Yes, this method can also be used on shields to defend against Zaku's battle axes."

"It should be effective against rockets too, right?"

Once their minds were open, these skilled drivers immediately came up with more uses and began a lively discussion. The technicians, who were preparing the vehicle, overheard their conversation and couldn't help but tease, "Ladies, these are all defensive methods, right? Why don't we develop air-cushioned footrests for you? Like that KUKA, so you can go high-speed too?"

"do not want!"

Remembering the Dom pilot who dislocated his cervical spine from just a fall, Shirley Page and Doris refused in unison—they'd rather go slower than use equipment with such a low margin for error.

Lilith Aiden was somewhat interested, and Lin Xingyuan also thought it was feasible—Lilith liked the speed of the Dom, believing it would be particularly advantageous in close combat; Lin Xingyuan was thinking of the three-legged Dom from the Quarks, whose stability should be better. However, the Federation probably didn't have the energy or resources to specifically replicate the Dom, like Baku, so he also thought of beam tanks that used air cushion propulsion and were equipped with beam weapons!

He pulled aside the technician and talked about his ideas, and the cushion beam tank that would later strike fear into the hearts of Zeon mobile suits was thus born ahead of schedule.

Just as Lin Xingyuan was chatting with the technicians in the maintenance team, a green-painted military electric vehicle sped up, ignoring the "No Parking" sign, and screeched to a halt in front of Da Mo. The adjutant, dressed in a crisp uniform, jumped off, straightened his rank insignia, and strode up to Lin Xingyuan, giving him a standard military salute: "Captain Lin Xingyuan, I am Bernard, Brigadier General Hyman's adjutant. The Brigadier General is waiting for you at headquarters. Please come with me."

Old Tofu wants to see me!?

Lin Xingyuan was quite surprised and returned the greeting with some astonishment:

"Major Bernard, is Brigadier General Hyman still at base?"

"I stayed behind especially for you, Captain!" The adjutant had a perfectly measured smile on his face, but his tone carried an unquestionable official air. "The Brigadier General was supposed to return to the rear by transport plane yesterday, but out of consideration for your hard work, he stayed an extra day just to see you in person. The Brigadier General is very busy, so please don't keep him waiting too long."

"clear."

Upon being summoned by the brigadier general, Lin Xingyuan, a mere captain, dared not presume to presume. Without asking any further questions, he immediately followed his adjutant onto the electric vehicle and soon arrived at the location of Jamitov Heyman.

Djamitov is still in the cave—the cave, built against a solid mountain, is undoubtedly safe, but it is inevitably damp and cold, which is really unsuitable for the elderly. This shows that Old Tofu is very afraid of dying.

Why would he stay an extra day to see me? It's probably not to say something nice to flatter me or build a relationship, but rather to get me to do an escort mission, right?

On his way to Djamitov's office, Lin Xingyuan couldn't help but wonder about the other man's purpose.

Chapter 136 With Djamitov

"You've worked hard, please have a seat."

Inside the cave base, Djamitov's room was very simple, without any VIP feel, which was very much in line with his 'ascetic' persona.

After Lin Xingyuan saluted, he sat down. Djamitov forced a smile onto his usually gloomy face and praised him:

"I am deeply grateful for the valiant fighting that allowed us to escape unharmed this time."

"You flatter me! It's just our duty!"

Lin Xingyuan has always presented himself as honest—he was born with a convincing face, and even if he had all sorts of thoughts in his mind, he still appeared very deceptive.

"I have also witnessed the activity of the new MS. Your achievements have fully demonstrated General Rebil's foresight."

Jamitov continued, and Lin Xingyuan sat up straight, waiting for what was to come.

"I have already spoken with the military headquarters about the supplies you requested, and they will provide you with the latest and most advanced equipment."

"Thank you so much."

This is good news, and Lin Xingyuan expressed his gratitude frankly.

“That’s only natural.” Djamitov waved his hand. “Although I’m an old man, I can see clearly that the era of MS is coming. As long as we deploy the mass-produced new MS to the battlefield, we will surely achieve the final victory in the war.”

"...Please forgive my bluntness, but Zeon must also be researching new mobile suits, and that captured mobile suit is the best proof of that."
