Chapter 540: Dancing Fairies, Sea Spirits

After receiving the order from the command headquarters, Yang Hui, Jung and Isamu Kashima activated all systems of the aircraft and conducted system self-examination.

"The energy transmission system is operating normally...the output power is stable...the backpack and the body are connected normally...the whole system is normal, Unit 1 is on the attack."

The air combat backpack is very similar to the space-specific backpack, except that the missiles on the wings are removed to reduce weight, and a pair of balance wings are added to enhance the balance ability. At the same time, a small I-position generator is installed to give the body the ability to float. .

The frame of the aircraft body itself has also been reinforced. The flexibility and steering ability of the aircraft body must have been reduced, but this is a necessary trade-off. The speed of flying in the air is not comparable to that on the ground. The Gundam Heretic may not be able to withstand it. Fast speed.

The wings flipped up and down, and the flames from the nozzles became brighter and brighter. When the Heretic Gundam stood on the catapult, the flipping stopped, the nozzles shrank, and the flames became brighter.

The electromagnetic catapult was activated, ejecting the Heretic Gundam at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, the nozzle behind it burst into flames, and the huge thrust carried the Heretic Gundam soaring into the sky.

"Start I position...normal...maintain altitude 1000m...speed...300m/s, command post, this is Unit 1, the whole system is normal."

"...Unit No. 2, the entire system is normal."

"...Unit No. 3, the entire system is normal."

"Oh~!!!" The first phase of the test was a complete success, and everyone cheered. They were very nervous just now. If any accident happened, with the speed and height of the Heretic Gundam, even if they gave up their backpack at the first time, they would not be safe. There will be a chance of survival.

"This is the command post, Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3, raising altitude, target 1100m, speed 310m/s."

"learn."

The height of 1000m is a critical point, and flying above it is high altitude, so even the height of 100m is a challenge for Yang Hui and the others, as is the speed. Their current speed is infinitely close to Mach 1. Looking at It's not fast. The Swordfish's flying speed exceeds Mach 2, but you must know that the MS is not a fighter jet. Not to mention its own weight, the MS is not a streamlined design of a fighter jet. The air resistance is much greater and the burden on the body is also greater. Much bigger.

Yang Hui did not dare to be careless and slowly and steadily increased his height and speed.

"The height is 1100m, the speed is 310m/s, and the whole system is normal."

"Height 1200m, speed 320m/s..."

Until the height of 1500m and the speed of 340m/s, the performance test and the limit test stop. This is already the limit of the Heretic Gundam. The output power has reached the threshold, and the endurance of the body has also reached the limit. No matter how high or fast the body is, It is likely to fall apart, and the Mies furnace is also in danger of overload explosion.

However, this result has shocked and excited everyone. This means that the air combat backpack is successful. It not only gives MS the ability to fly, but also supports high-altitude combat and high-speed flight capabilities. In everyone's eyes, the Federation Zeon's air supremacy is not something Zeon is qualified to shake.

But... Ray Bill didn't think so, because he thought about how many people would have enough reflexes to fight flexibly at such a fast speed?

"This is the command room. Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 3 are entering the second stage. The marking gun is unlocked and the acting begins."

"Understood." X3

"What are the rules of acting?" At this time, Ray Bill asked.

"Unit No. 2 and Unit 3 jointly chased Unit No. 1 for 10 minutes and shot down Unit 1 or were shot down by Unit 1 ten minutes later."

"Two on one? There are still 10 minutes of pursuit time?"

"Yes."

"Well, we'll see."

Everyone's eyes hit the screen again. Now the speed and height of the three Heretic Gundams were no longer visible to the naked eye. Therefore, many drones equipped with high-definition cameras were deployed in the test area to record the entire acting process.

Then……

Ray Bill and other people who saw Yang Hui fighting in a mobile suit for the first time were stunned.

The moment the weapons were unlocked, the No. 2 and No. 3 units piloted by Jung and Isamu Kashima launched a fierce attack on the No. 1 unit. Their tacit cooperation was excellent, and they demonstrated the MS tactics of the two units to the fullest. Like a perfect symphony.

However, just before such a fierce pursuit, Yang Hui's No. 1 machine was like a flexible fish, treating the sky as an ocean, wandering freely and easily avoiding all attacks.

By the end of the 10-minute pursuit, the restrictions on Unit 1 were lifted. It flipped easily and comfortably in the air, went directly behind Units 2 and 3, raised its gun, fired, and the acting was over.

It's that simple? It's that simple!

"Flying fairies." Garp suddenly commented.

"Do you feel the same way?"

"Erase, grace, freedom."

"Are you the same?" Ray Bill asked the others.

"Yeah."XN

"Flying fairies... Haha." Ray Bill felt that this title fit Yang Hui's performance just now, but he also thought of the title given to the 12th Independent Technical Force by Zeon, [Ghosts], mysterious and erratic. The words of uncertainty, coming and going without a trace, and fatal are also very suitable.

"The actual combat exercise is over, please apply to return."

"Permission to return, Major, thank you for your hard work." Tim Ray suppressed the excitement and cheering impulse in his heart, and continued to order the test of the special underwater backpack. "The third phase begins, Unit 6, Unit 7, Unit 9 , please attack."

"Understood." X3

…

Half an hour later, the test of the special underwater backpack also ended, once again bringing surprises to Ray Bill and others.

The water-specific backpack is the design drawing that Yang Hui took out. It is exactly the same as the water-specific M1 section in the Gundam SEED world. However, due to cost control, some of the weapons have been simplified. For example, the trident has removed the beam generator and turned into a simple physical weapon. , several torpedo launchers were also removed.

The flexibility, speed, and deepest diving depth in the water have all reached the expected values, perfectly meeting the standards of underwater MS.

The subsequent actual combat exercises also brought a wonderful visual feast to Ray Bill and others.

Different from the actual combat exercise of the air combat backpack, the actual combat exercise of the special underwater backpack is a three-person melee. The skills of Travis Kakuland, George Miguel and Leonard Reber are about the same, but the skills of the three are about the same. The expertise is different, allowing Rebel and others to understand the combat scenes of elite MS pilots from three aspects.

Fred Leiber was good at assault combat, changing directions and accelerating instantly. The assault combat was very fierce.

George Miguel is good at long-distance artillery battles. He constantly widens the distance, makes precise and tricky artillery attacks, and calmly blocks and retreats when he is approached.

Travis Kakuland's fighting style is not unique, but he is mature and stable. He can handle both fierce melee combat and tricky long-range bombardment with ease, and can launch counterattacks.

"Data collection is completed, the fourth phase is completed, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 9 are returning."

"Understood." X3

The three Heretic Gundams that were fighting fiercely stopped immediately after receiving the order and returned together. This also made Ray Bill and others admire their stillness. Such model soldiers are welcome no matter where they are.

"Spirits in the water."

Compared with the previous air battles, the actual combat exercises in the water were more exciting. Although the pursuit battle in the air battle was also exciting, the air battle was divided by Yang Hui into two stages. One stage was the pursuit battle without fighting back, and the other stage was the spiral counterattack and rapid attack. Killing the enemy ended quickly. Although it was amazing, the time was too short.

But the battle in the water lasted for half an hour, and it was a three-person melee. Three completely different combat styles fought against each other, which perfectly demonstrated for Ray Bill and others how various styles should deal with opponents of different styles. , it is better to say that it is acting, but it is a vivid lesson for Ray Bill and others.

"Is it worthy of being a force that can turn the tide of the war in the Middle East?"

"The performance of MS exceeds expectations."

"No, it's not the MS that's powerful, but the person who drives it."

"General Rebel, I think..."

"No, you don't think so." Until the person who spoke wanted to say something, including everyone except him and Ge Pu, their eyes were burning with burning fire, and they almost had the word "important person" written on their faces. "The 12th Independent Technical Force is the only mobile suit force in the Federation with combat effectiveness. Zeon's second descent operation is imminent, and the combat power cannot be dispersed."

"learn……"

Rebir's refusal disappointed them. For such an outstanding talent, even one in their own army would be a waste, let alone having so many in a small army, which made them unhappy.

But then he thought that the 12th Independent Technical Force was a unit directly under Rebir, so he didn't fight for it anymore. It was okay to mention it, but if he secretly poached people after objecting, how would Rebir deal with them?

Excellent subordinates are worthless compared to official career.

In fact, they are greedy, and Ray Bill is also greedy!

The 12th Independent Technical Force is nominally a force directly under Ray Bill, but in fact it is a force belonging to Yang Hui alone. With so many outstanding talents, it would be great if they were one of our own! ?

At the same time, Ray Bill became even more wary of Yang Hui, because he found that Yang Hui's biggest threat, in addition to his invisible trump card, was his ability to lead people.

Ray Bill found detailed information on several pilots of the 12th Independent Technical Force. Before joining the 12th Independent Technical Force, they were ordinary, and there were even recruits who had just joined the army.

But how long has it been? How did Yang Hui train? It can make them become such excellent MS pilots.

It's never scary if a person is great. What's scary is that great people can drive people around them to become great together. This is the scariest thing.

At this time, Gepu patted Ray Bill on the shoulder: "Don't worry, at least we have the same interests now."

As an old friend of Ray Bill, you can tell what Ray Bill is thinking just by looking at his expression. He has also thought about the same problem, but he and Ray Bill have different views.

So far, Yang Hui has no conflict of interest with them, and Yang Hui has indeed caused heavy losses to Zeon on the battlefield. Although they are worried that the contributions from both sides are not equal, they owe Yang Hui too much and don't know what price they will pay. to balance.

But... Ge Pu believes that Yang Hui never thought about overthrowing the Federation and becoming king on his own. This is an empirical judgment and feeling.

"Well, I know, it's just... I have an idea."

"Oh? By coincidence, I also have an idea."

The old friends looked at each other and smiled, revealing a sinister smile belonging to a fox.

"The boys below are very impetuous now."
