(Yi Zui didn't belittle the AS, but was there really anything special about the AS that appeared before the Crossbow Soldier? Even the Crossbow Soldier's performance in the anime wasn't ridiculously strong. The subsequent machines were another matter. The world's plot had been completely changed, and the subsequent machines of the Crossbow Soldier had not been developed at all. Even if there were other forces researching the Lambda Driver, it wouldn't be the Mithril in this plot. In addition, the number of third-generation machines seemed to be mentioned in the anime. The cost of the AS was also mentioned in the anime. When the protagonist is free, there will also be other participants developing the AS. Only Luo is allowed to provide technical support, but other participants are not allowed to provide technical support. This was arranged by Yi Zui long ago. From the beginning of the plot, he set up a big boss.)
The location of the armistice agreement meeting was determined to be another big country that didn't really participate in the war. It was the sea country with countless kangaroos, Australia. The inexplicable war that started inexplicably ended inexplicably under the restriction of the neutron jammer. For this armistice agreement, almost all countries in the world sent their own diplomatic corps to Australia's city, Sydney.
In addition to signing the armistice agreement, the purpose of these countries was also to get an answer from Xiao Ran during this meeting. They wanted to know if nuclear energy would be sealed forever, or when it would be used again.
For some small countries that didn't have nuclear energy, even the AS needed to be purchased from other countries. They couldn't wait for nuclear energy to be sealed forever. For those countries that had a high demand for nuclear energy, the sealing of nuclear energy was already a huge blow to them.
On the Japanese side, in addition to Xiao Ran and the others who took the Son of the Dan Slave, there was also a diplomatic corps that went directly in the open. The speed of their arrival was much faster than the people on the Son of the Dan Slave. Before the Son of the Dan Slave had covered half of the distance, the diplomatic corps had already arrived.
As for Xiao Ran and the others, they slowly made their way onboard the Dan Slave's Son. Xiao Ran was certain that this meeting wouldn't be as peaceful as it seemed. Because of this, the atmosphere on the ship was rather tense.
After staying in the Son of the Dan Slave for a while, Xiao Ran, who was bored, also walked into the Gnacou. At this time, a group of technicians under the leadership of Luo were busy around a few transforming machines with only standard weapons.
Sosuke Xiangliang, Kreutzer, Melissa Mao, and the other Mithril pilots were sitting in the cockpit of the Mech. They were following the orders of the Mech's adjuster and performing various actions in the cockpit. Through feedback and calculation, they made more specific adjustments to every parameter of the machine, so that the machine could be more in line with their control.
However, because these pilots had long been used to the way the AS was piloted, the manual control and motion assistance would expose all kinds of problems when they were piloted in the transforming machine. For this reason, Luo had to make appropriate improvements to the cockpit of these people according to the cockpit of the AS, installing the same motion assistance equipment as the AS, and successfully piloting the transforming machine like the AS.
At the same time, a co-pilot was also added for each main pilot, a co-pilot who was better at flying. Almost all of them were orthodox pilots, used to assist in the flight control in the machine form, balance assistance in the fortress form, and other work. Combat matters such as aiming and shooting were still done by the main pilot himself.
This situation also led to the transformation machine piloted by Sosuke Xiangliang and others. In addition to being able to exert full combat power in the MS form, the machine form was basically only used for running and hurrying. In the fortress form, they could perform sudden movements such as moving and sliding attacks. It was impossible and impossible to pilot it like Xiao Ran, but at least they could exert the combat power of the transforming machine to a higher degree than piloting the AS.
This was the situation encountered by the battle-hardened mercenaries like the Son of the Dan Slave, and the several machines currently handed over to Japan were used more as decorations and deterrence. In terms of combat power, they were even slightly worse than Mithril.
Only two pilots could carry out a single combat. The air combat was the responsibility of the air combat pilot, the ground combat was the responsibility of the AS pilot. In the fortress form, one pilot controlled the flight, and the other controlled the attack. There was not much hope for special operations, and only after reaching a certain scale could the real combat power be reflected.
Xiao Ran walked into Gnacou and did not disturb these busy people. He just watched quietly from the side. It was not until Law gave a thumbs up to the technicians that he noticed that Xiao Ran had been standing next to him for a long time, wiping his head with a clean towel while walking towards Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded to Law, then looked at a few transformation machines and asked, "How is it, to what extent can they perform after the adjustment?"
"It's okay. Piloting a transformation machine can do more than piloting an AS. Even if they can only fight in the fortress form and the MS form, it's enough for them." Law wiped his face, put the towel around his neck, and said, "An exercise test is arranged for them in an hour. Would you like to guide them personally?"
"Test?" Xiao Ran thought for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need for this for the time being. Let El Erf train them more cruelly while there are still a few days before the meeting."
"Also, if you are used as a test target, it would be too discouraging for them." Law laughed as if he suddenly thought of something. He patted his head and said to Xiao Ran: "El Erf and the captain seem to have found some information. Now they are confirming it. It seems to be related to amalgam. You'd better go and see. Maybe you can find something."
Xiao Ran turned to look at Law and frowned: "When did this happen?"
"Not long ago, the little captain was here to arrange the exercise, and then he was called back to the bridge." Law scratched his head and said, "But it seems to be related to something that the little captain was investigating a long time ago."
Xiao Ran nodded. He also felt that something was strange. What was the matter that Tessa had been investigating all this time? Moreover, she had never told him about it.
After saying goodbye to Law, Xiao Ran went directly to the bridge of the battleship. In the bridge, Tessa sat in the captain's seat, and El Erf replaced one of the staff members. He had been typing on the keyboard, and pictures were displayed on the big screen and kept switching.
Xiao Ran looked up. Most of the pictures were pictures of factories and production lines manufacturing the third-generation AS of the Soviet Union. Looking at the dates on the pictures, they were basically a month before the neutron jammer was activated. In addition to the pictures of these factories and production lines, there were also pictures of several people, most of which were taken from a distance.
In one of the photos, Xiao Ran saw a person he recognized. He had the same silver hair as Tessa and a face that was almost the same as Tessa's. However, his face was more distinct and tough. He was a young man wearing a black trench coat.
After seeing the man's picture, Xiao Ran also reflexively looked at Tessa beside him, with a face full of consternation, loss, heartache and sadness on Tessa's face.
"Renard?" Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. This young man, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old like Tessa, was the only person in this world who was willing to become Xiao Ran's follower. A pilot with excellent AS driving skills, able to independently develop advanced AS, small AS, and a whisperer with considerable technical ability. A person in this world, to some extent, similar to Law's ability.
A person who also knows how to fight and has excellent fighting ability, who also knows technology and has excellent technical ability, a person whose mentality can be regarded as excellent, and whose wisdom is not bad, is completely in line with Xiao Ran's choice and can adapt to the Prometheus mission.
In the picture of Renard, a young man wearing a white coat with both hands in his pockets, who looked to be twenty-five or twenty-six years old, stood beside him. The two seemed to be communicating, and in front of them was a picture of huge containers being loaded into a large transport aircraft.
At the same time, there were some common faces with weapons in the picture, and there were also two small AS protecting Renard at all times. However, Xiao Ran was more attracted by the young man in the white coat.
Xiao Ran suddenly asked, "Who is this?"
"My brother …" Tessa lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Twin brother, the brother who joined the Amalgamate and tried to start a world war."
Xiao Ran paused for a moment and gently patted Tessa's shoulder, "Of course I know that the silver-haired one is your brother, the whisperer Renard, I have information about him. Besides, you two look exactly the same, even a fool can tell. I'm asking another person, who is the guy in the white coat who looks like a technician? "
"Ah!" Tessa raised her head and looked at Xiao Ran blankly, then realized that she had misunderstood the main body of Xiao Ran's question. Her face was slightly red, and she said embarrassedly, "I only know that this person should be called Tyrol. He used to be a mercenary, but now he works as a technician under my brother."
El Erf stood up from his chair and walked to Xiao Ran's side. He used more detailed words to explain the specific situation to Xiao Ran, "Because of the problems with the third-generation AS, Captain Tessa and Mithril began to investigate the source of the third-generation AS. Of course, it's aimed at the Soviet Union."
"Although in our view, with the cooperation between the Soviet Union and the Amalgamate, it's not surprising that they can produce more third-generation AS with lambda-driver. However, from the perspective of Mithril, the number of third-generation AS appearing is very abnormal. In the case of the Soviet Union and the United States, even the more advanced United States can't mass-produce the third-generation AS. The Soviet Union's third-generation AS has already begun to be mass-produced and obtained a certain amount. The source of the technology and the location of the factory became the most important information for Mithril to investigate."
"Although we got some information after that, we didn't get the real source of the equipment and technology. It wasn't until today that we determined the source of the technical support and equipment support that the Soviet Union got. It's the two people in the photo. One of them is Renard, a senior officer of Amalgamate. He has an independent research institute and executive force. He is one of the most powerful people in Amalgamate."
"The second one, Teteroth, is currently the head of the research institute under Renard. The third-generation AS technology of the Soviet Union and Amalgamate should be provided by him. According to the analysis, he should be a person with excellent technical ability. At the same time, according to his original identity as a mercenary, the time he appeared next to Renard is more than a coincidence. I think you should have some guesses about this."
"A participant, a participant with excellent technology."
Xiao Ran's eyebrows twitched. Participants who understood technology were far too rare in Prometheus, and participants who had the ability to lead the development of technology were even rarer. They were as precious as pandas. Who would have thought that such a participant would appear in front of him, and even stand in the opposing faction? Xiao Ran's eyebrows twitched.
A participant who understood technology from another world joined Renard's team, and he appeared next to Renard at the beginning of this mission. From then on, he was responsible for the development of technology in Renard's research institute. In this aspect alone, he was ahead of the progress of Mithril's development of the body.
What's more, Law also hid a lot of things in Mithril's development of new models. The more important purpose was only to help Xiao Ran build a body that could fight. There was almost no way to improve the overall technical strength of Mithril. To really improve the technology in all aspects, it was only after Lin Quan, Dunxin, and others controlled the whole of Japan. From this point of view, Mithril was even more behind.
The current situation was that Xiao Ran didn't know what kind of technology the other party had mastered. After coming up with the technical support for the mass-produced third-generation AS, what kind of things did they come up with in Reynold's research institute? A participant, and a participant who was skilled in technology at that. Just by looking at Law, Xiao Ran knew that the other party would not be easy to deal with.
A participant wasn't scary, and a simple technician wasn't scary either. What was scary was a participant who had experienced three different worlds, mastered three different worlds' technologies, and had combat abilities that surpassed the average rookie participant. Furthermore, this was a participant whose trump cards were unknown. Since the other party had been staying in the research institute, it meant that the other party had never appeared in the chaos before. Even if they wanted to collect more information about the other party, they wouldn't be able to get anything useful. For a Super Faction, the unknown was the most terrifying thing.
Xiao Ran's brows furrowed slightly. He really didn't pay attention to the abnormal number of third-generation AS. In his opinion, since some of the troops were already equipped with third-generation AS, it was normal for the Soviet Union to produce more ordinary third-generation AS. However, he didn't expect this to be the anomaly.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ran turned to look at Tessa and asked softly, "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"
