(There will be another chapter later. Yi Zui is currently a full-time stay-at-home dad. Sometimes, he doesn't have time to write because of his child. However, this kind of situation is relatively rare. I apologize for not updating yesterday. Today's two chapters can be considered as making up for yesterday's chapter.)
After leaving Mary's captain's room, Xiao Ran seemed to be walking calmly on the road to Gnacou. However, his heart was thumping non-stop. He didn't know if it was because he was a little excited after seeing Lax, but he couldn't control himself and said a lot of things that he shouldn't have said. The others almost saw through him. Mary's suspicions were the most direct proof.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran didn't have any malicious intentions towards Archangel. His life was closely related to Archangel. Moreover, he had been forced to play the role of a character since he boarded the ship. Although Mary was suspicious of Xiao Ran's background, she still firmly believed that he didn't have any malicious intentions towards Archangel.
Xiao Ran reminded himself to not talk too much in the future. When he passed by the cafeteria, he heard a sharp female voice, "Forget it. Stop joking around. What reason do I have to shake hands with you? In fact, I'm an Adjuster. Don't try to get close to me!"
Xiao Ran frowned as he recalled this scene in his mind. He quickened his footsteps and hurriedly walked over. When he saw the few people in the cafeteria looking at each other, especially Kira's ugly expression, Xiao Ran angrily shouted, "What are you talking about?!"
When Xiao Ran finished speaking, he secretly praised in his heart, "Thank you, Flay, for giving me the chance to make a good impression."
"Ah, teacher," Kazuy and Miriya saw Xiao Ran walk in and hurriedly called out awkwardly. Flay also seemed to have realized that her words also carried Kira's name. However, she was stubborn and did not feel that she was in the wrong. After Xiao Ran shouted at her, she turned her head to the side.
"Teacher?" Lax tilted her head slightly.
Xiao Ran nodded at the two. He walked to Kira's side and patted Kira's shoulder lightly. He softly comforted, "Kira, don't take her words to heart. Flay is just a little girl. She might be a little abnormal due to the pressure of what happened recently."
"Mn." Kira nodded with a forced smile.
Xiao Ran tilted her head and glanced at Flay. From Flay's expression and gaze, Xiao Ran could not see any hint of apology. Even so, Xiao Ran was too lazy to waste her breath on Flay. If this girl did not encounter a situation, she would not be mature at all. She was just a pampered and spoiled young lady from a rich family. It would be pointless to talk to her.
Xiao Ran thought about it. In any case, as long as he continued to maintain an irreplaceable position in Kira's heart, he would treat him like an elder, a respected teacher, a father, and a brother. Even if Flay had a relationship with Kira like in the original storyline, it was not a bad thing for Xiao Ran. He could also avoid the threat of the storyline changing. He could also allow Kira to unleash his extraordinary potential. It was not a bad thing.
As for Flay, when he watched the anime, Xiao Ran was touched by the episode where her father died. He also felt that Flay was not a bad person. It was just that her father's death was too big of a blow to her, causing her to do a series of immature things. She almost caused a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Xiao Ran also had a rather bad taste in his heart. He wanted to see if Flay, who looked loathsome but was actually a naive person, and Lax, who looked innocent but wasn't so simple, would be jealous of Kira, or would they shake hands and make peace.
Laughing in his heart, Xiao Ran said to Lax apologetically, "I'm very sorry, Miss Lax, for letting you see this scene. If possible, it's best if you don't leave your room to avoid any more conflicts. From today onwards, I will have Kira deliver your three meals. As for Pilot Molia Haru, I will take care of her. Please don't worry."
Without waiting for Lax to refuse, Xiao Ran turned to look at Kira. "Kira, can you bring Miss Lax back to her room?"
"En." Kira nodded lightly. He walked to the table in front of him and picked up a plate full of food before walking out of the cafeteria. Lax also politely said goodbye to everyone present and followed behind Kira.
Xiao Ran glanced at the remaining three people and shook his head. He also picked up a plate of food and left after asking the Pilot Molia's location. After spending more than ten minutes delivering the food and calming down Molia's somewhat irritable mood, especially reminding her that Lax was still on the Archangel, Xiao Ran directly headed to Gnacou.
Before entering Gnacou, Xiao Ran could already hear all kinds of bustling sounds. When he entered and took a look, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of excitement.
The scout-type Zeon that had fallen to the ground had stood up at some point in time, and its exploded head had been reattached. It was unknown which sunk ship or Zeon that belonged to Zaft that Sergeant Madoc had brought with him to retrieve it. The two giant arms that were originally intact from the shoulders to the broken arms were also disassembled on the ground. The armor that belonged to the chest and back was also dismantled to only the skeleton.
The originally wide floor was now piled with all kinds of parts that Xiao Ran didn't understand at all. A dozen people were around the giant arms on the ground, modifying and repairing them. Xiao Ran even saw the steel palms and shoulder armor that belonged to the Assault Gundam among these parts.
Xiao Ran's arrival didn't attract too much attention, but Sergeant Madoc, who was in charge of the overall command, was obviously not among them. The moment he saw Xiao Ran, he reached out and shouted for him to come over.
Sergeant Madoc immediately said when Xiao Ran approached him, "You came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you."
Xiao Ran: "Please speak."
Sergeant Madoc rubbed his head while turning the computer in his hand towards Xiao Ran so that the two of them could see the things on the screen at the same time. "Although the Zeon's technical level is still a bit inferior to the Assault Gundam, repairing this big guy isn't a problem for us. We also recovered a lot of parts of the Zeon from the asteroid belt. However, I don't think that just repairing it is what you need. The reconnaissance type Zeon doesn't have much combat ability, so we started modifying this Zeon."
"First is the modification of the weapon system. This Zeon originally used live ammunition, but our pursuers were Gundams. Live ammunition is useless against them. So we came up with two ideas. The first is to directly modify the Zeon's shoulder and power port so that the Zeon can directly equip the backpack of the Assault Gundam. But this way, if it is damaged in battle, it will be very troublesome to repair. This is because other than the weapon parts, the Assault Gundam's body parts are still lacking. This will require you to be very careful in battle. When you go out, you must equip the backpack. "
"The second is to dismantle the backpack of the Assault Gundam and reassemble it. However, this modification will take some time. It might even take a long time to recharge before it can be used again, or it might consume too much energy. Although it will still be very troublesome to repair it in battle, it will be better than before."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly as he listened. He began to consider the shortcomings of the two scenarios. As he thought about it, he raised his head and glanced at the black Zeon. He had an idea in his mind. He turned to Sergeant Madoc and said, "I think it'll be better if we combine the two methods. We can modify the Zeon's shoulders into the same style as the Assault Gundam. This way, we can directly use the Assault Gundam's backpack. We can remove the original small sliding component at the back and modify it. We can also modify the energy source."
"Because the Zeon doesn't have PS armor, and it doesn't consume as much energy as the Assault Gundam, even in battle, you don't have to worry too much about the problem of not being able to replace it. So, you just need to choose a fixed backpack. Of course, it would be even better if you had an extra battery."
"However, the Zeon's armor is too weak compared to the Gundam. I don't think this problem can be solved, so we need to increase its mobility. I hope that this fixed backpack can be modified as a flying backpack. It won't be a problem to add some small jets. You don't have to worry about whether my body can take it or not. You can treat me as if my physical fitness is two to three times that of a normal human. When necessary, you can also use the Anti-Battleship Blade and Super Pulse Cannon of the Assault Gundam."
"Conventional weapons will mainly be two beam sabers, a beam rifle, and an anti-beam shield. If you can add a small mechanical arm, the shield can also be fixed to the left shoulder. It won't be a problem even if the shield is a little smaller."
Xiao Ran thought as he spoke. Sergeant Madoc wrote and drew on the computer while wiping the sweat on his forehead. When Xiao Ran finished speaking, he shrugged helplessly. "You don't have to worry about changing the backpack's interface. It's indeed much simpler. You just have to take off the original backpack and fix it with a modified interface. As for the beam rifle and the beam sword, fortunately, we made preparations before you came. The Zeon's palm doesn't have a weapon interface, so I got people to prepare the Assault Gundam's spare palm. This aspect is considered easy to deal with. "
"However, the problem with the backpack's modification and the small mechanical arm is a little difficult to deal with. This way, the left shoulder armor can't be modified into the style of the Assault Gundam. However, if you use the original right shoulder armor of Zeon, there won't be any problems at all."
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the shoulder armor that originally belonged to Zeon. Because it was completely removed, the original appearance could be seen clearly. Coincidentally, the right shoulder area of Zeon's right shoulder was installed with a detection device, and the detection device happened to be able to rotate left and right. As long as it was slightly reinforced, the shield could be modified.
Xiao Ran closed his eyes and imagined the operation of the shield in his mind. He smiled and nodded. "Then we'll do as you say."
"Then it's decided. I'll try my best to modify you according to your requirements." Madoc patted the computer in his hand. He had already compiled all of Xiao Ran's requirements into the computer. As long as the appropriate modifications were made, it would be very easy to modify Zeon's main body without modifying the main body. Even Zeon's original energy source didn't need to be modified. He only needed to do a little work on the backpack's interface.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Xiao Ran prepared to leave with an expectant smile. However, he heard Madoc helplessly muttering to himself, "Sigh, when will these days come to an end?"
After hearing those words, several scenes flashed through Xiao Ran's mind. One of them was the rendezvous with the Eighth Fleet's advance fleet. During the rendezvous, there seemed to have been a sudden battle. Flay's father had also died in that battle.
"It seems to be around this time." Xiao Ran frowned. He turned around and walked toward Madoc again. "Brother Madoc, I have something to ask of you regarding the modification of the body."
"You have other requests?" Madoc felt a headache coming on. He subconsciously rubbed his head with his hand.
"No, it's not that." Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh when he saw Madoc's actions. When he saw Madoc let out a sigh of relief, he shook his head and said to Madoc seriously, "No matter what happens, you must complete the modification of this body."
When Madoc heard this, he laughed and patted Xiao Ran's shoulder. "Don't worry, we will work overtime and complete it as soon as possible."
Xiao Ran opened his mouth and wanted to remind Madoc that the upcoming battle would be very fierce. However, in the end, he only nodded and emphasized again, "Then I'll leave it to you. You must remember, no matter what happens, do not stop the modification of the body. No matter what happens."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Madoc patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and left. Xiao Ran's series of requests were mainly about the backpack. Although it seemed simple, it was also a tiring task. There were many aspects that needed to be recalculated and adjusted. He didn't have the time to chat with Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran looked at Madoc's back as he left. He shook his head helplessly and left Gnacou. However, Xiao Ran didn't see that when he left, Madoc raised his head.
Madoc smiled as he watched Xiao Ran leave. "This kid is really something. Even if it's to thank you and Little Rascal, we will still modify this body. Boys, work harder. Don't let others look down on you! "
