Chapter 593 Preparation Time

Under Duanmu Huai's questioning, he finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

To put it simply, An was jealous of the mechas on Minerva and wanted to build one by himself, but it was obvious that Duan Muhuai seemed to look down on these mechas, so An decided to make it by himself. She found Lumière, and asked her to hack into the database of those mechs to get the data, and after obtaining the data, Ann made a blueprint of a mecha based on her own ideas, and then she sent the blueprint to the flagship Mary, I hope she can help me create it.

To put it simply, it's like Ann using the resources of the Tribunal to do her own private work... Well, it's nothing.

but………

"I really didn't expect you to actually make it for her?"

Duanmu Huai looked at Maria in surprise, and the latter nodded.

"I'm very interested in Miss An's ideas, and..."

"and?"

"I think this mech can be a high-level replacement for some Titans."

"Well……………"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai was speechless immediately.

Even though Duanmuhuai didn't think highly of mechas, strictly speaking, the Inquisition also had mechas.

That is the Titan series.

Of course, this does not mean that Duanmu Huai used it on Herman's Emperor Titan, which is basically the mainstay of the Iron Fortress level.

In addition to the emperor-level Titans, Imperial Technology also has two branches, the Scout Titan and the Battle Titan. body. It's just that the head and arms are different --- the head of the Imperial Titan is not on the top like the mecha, but in front of the chest. This allows them to place another weapon where the head should have been mounted.

Well, more is beautiful, bigger is better, and the more weapons, the better.

At the same time, the arms of these titans are not human arms, but transformed into large weapons such as battering hammers or Vulcan cannons.

Moreover, the positioning of titans and mechs is also different. These titans are mainly responsible for ground warfare. They also have the ability to move fortresses, personnel carriers and suppress firepower. At the same time, they can rely on their own legs to cross some obstacles that tanks cannot cross. Of course, although the Imperial Titans can't compare with mechas in terms of flexibility and speed, their defense is far superior to those mechas that can only fly around.

However, there is one point where mechas are indeed stronger than Titans, that is, Titans do not have the ability to fight in the air and space, and are purely ground units...

Leaving aside the Predator-class, Warlord-class and Heavenly Punishment-class Titans that are used for main ground combat, if the War Dog-class and Jackal-class are used for reconnaissance, they can indeed be replaced with mechas. After all, for scouting, being able to fly is indeed an advantage.

At present, the ground troops of the Inquisition under Duanmuhuai, in terms of size, are basically arranged in the formation of space fighters dominated by the night guard, and then the dreadnought mechs—of course, in the empire period, it was very difficult to create dreadnoughts , a dreadnought is powerful, but the sacrifice is not small. Only those warriors mortally wounded fighting for the Emperor and unable to return to battle on their own are buried within the dreadnoughts, bonded to them, and die fighting for the Imperium with their remaining lives.

It is also because of this that most dreadnought mechs can be regarded as a very important core of a battle group. After all... consumables are hard to find.

But the night guards under Duanmuhuai naturally don't have to worry about this problem. They don't need to put their bodies into the dreadnought mecha to connect with it like in the age of empires, but directly attach their souls to the mecha.

Well, the joy of machine soul!

By the way, even soul possession has a limit, and the Dreadnought is the limit of soul possession, otherwise Duanmu Huai would let them all possess Titans.

At that time, it will be full of red letters of Titans... no, curse... and no, guarding the Titan army in the dark night, who wouldn't be afraid to see it?

It is also because of this that Duanmu Huai's current main formation is the Star Warrior and the Dreadnought. The Titan class has never been built except for the previous Emperor class. The reason is very simple. The Titan class is much larger than the Dreadnought. It has exceeded the limit of soul possession, and can only be manipulated by people.

But it is impossible for Duanmuhuai to let his night guards do this, isn't this a waste? It's not like PLANT or something, just find a few teenage boys and girls and start it.

The Inquisition is not so easy to talk to.

So Duanmu Huai basically gave up the Titan series all the time, but he didn't expect Maria to think of it—indeed, after thinking about it, some mechas can indeed be used as high-level substitutes for scouting Titans.

It's just... the style of painting is a bit out of place.

"Forget it, let's go and have a look first."

Duanmu Huai sighed, and decided to go and have a look first.

But having said that, An can actually design mechas? Although she had known for a long time that she was a genius, but because she was so naive on weekdays... Duanmu Huai even forgot that this was a god of learning.

Soon, led by Maria, a group of people came to the hangar, and then Duanmuhuai saw the mecha designed by An.

At first glance, how should I put it...beautiful is really beautiful.

The entire body is pure white, with a pair of steel wings behind it. The head is somewhat similar to Gundam, and the hands and feet look more like decorations with hollow patterns. In a word, it feels like the kind of artwork specially used to support the scene, not like a cold steel machine. Lacking that heavy mechanical beauty, it feels like a handicraft.

"Can this thing work?"

Duanmuhuai looked up and down the mech suspiciously, with question marks on his face. After all, the charm of mecha lies in the thick and cold artificial beauty of steel machinery. It's like the goofy shock you get when you see a steam locomotive, or a steel tank roaring forward.

However, this one in front of me is too detailed, it feels like an ice sculpture that breaks at the touch of a touch.

Beautiful is really beautiful, but Duanmu Huai is about to put a question mark.

"Hmph, you don't understand this, Mr. Knight."

To Duanmuhuai's surprise, Anfei was not happy, but raised his head very proudly.

"These are not ordinary patterns, these are all magic circles! It took me a long time to realize the integration of the boost magic and the defense magic circle, and I can guarantee that they will not conflict with each other! Awesome! !"

After listening to An Yangyang's proud introduction, Duanmuhuai finally understood the design idea of ​​her mecha. Although An did not know much about the science of mechas, there were similar metal monsters in Manalia. Yes, so she simply followed this direction to design, and the whole process was completely replaced by magic. But what Duanmu Huai saw, the hollow patterns on the outside of the body, were actually magic circles.

Of course, generally speaking, it is almost impossible to fuse so many magic circles together and ensure that they do not conflict, but... After all, An is still the number one magic genius in Manaria Get it done.

but………

"You said that this is all engraved on the magic circle, so if someone else cripples your body, wouldn't the magic circle be finished?"

"Of course it's not that simple. I'm using the character mode. Even if the machine is destroyed by the opponent, it will only affect the effect of some magic circles. Other magic circles can still be recombined through magic characters!"

"Okay, it seems that you are very thoughtful, but... Your cockpit is still for two people?"

Duanmu Huai silently looked at the cockpit on the chest of the mecha, and it was still going up and down.

"Of course, I plan to drive with Guleia."

"Let's sit down and face Guleiya."

"Hey hey, I was discovered by you..."

"Use your brain to know what you want to do."

Ann has always had a special liking for Guleya's tail. When Guleya sits on it, she can touch Guleya's fat tail at any time. An, who was sitting below, could see the scenery under her skirt anytime and anywhere as soon as she raised her head, which probably made her restless.

Well, Duanmu Huai felt that most of the reasons why An designed this kind of cockpit were in this.

"Forget it, what happened, we will know when the time comes."

Of course, An's mecha can't be integrated into the Inquisition's system, but it doesn't matter, this is not a mass-produced machine after all, as to whether the plan to mass-produce the mecha to replace the detective Titan depends on the future performance Besides.

"By the way, what's the name of this mecha?"

"Oh, I haven't figured it out yet..."

"How about I help you get up?"

"Thank you so much, I'd better discuss it with Guleya!"

Duanmu Huai's art of naming, even Andu respects and appreciates it.

"By the way, Mr. Knight, do you want to fight too?"

"I...I...I..."

Hearing An's inquiry, Duanmu Huai thought for a while, but at this moment, he felt his hand being pulled, and lowered his head, only to see Augis looking at him silently.

"...I'll forget it, after all, I already have my own doll."

Although I don't think that Augis would make a fuss about this, but... Duanmu Huai didn't bother to think too much about it, after all, he had no interest in mechas in the first place.

After a short rest, Duanmu Huai found Ecote again and asked about the current situation, to be precise...about the situation of the battleship Exelion.

"So you mean that the other party didn't escape back into the solar system, but has been active in the fringe?"

"Yes."

Aiko nodded.

"This battleship has been operating on the edge, so it often encounters space monsters. To be honest, I also wonder why they don't go back..."

"I guess they don't want the cosmic monsters to follow them to Earth."

So far, only a very small number of fish that escaped the net are active in the solar system, and most of them are basically killed as soon as they appear, which is not a climate change. Because of this, the earth in this galaxy is still relatively safe.

"Speaking of which, it's a shame they can last so long."

"I think they're almost at the limit too."

"Um……………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

"Then, go talk to them."
