The place where Xiao Ran saw a lot of people bustling about before was now completely dark. The bustling and noisy place had turned into darkness and silence. Not a single person could be seen. Loide had dismissed them and they all left the place as if they were escaping from something.
Zhui had come to this place more often than Xiao Ran. After entering this dark space, he walked to a corner with heavy footsteps. With a pull of his hand, the space was once again filled with light. The completed body appeared in front of Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran raised his head and quietly looked at the grey body in front of him. Because the body had not been activated, the body with the VPS armor was still black and white. It looked very monotonous. However, Xiao Ran knew from the data that this body would have a black and gold paint after activation. This paint was mainly chosen to match the Black Knights.
The body's armor was in the style of a knight's armor. The shoulder armor was a three-layer superimposed semicircular structure. The body of the body of the body had a knight's spear. At the front of the spear, there was a beam emitter that could be used to gather energy and fire it. Therefore, this knight's spear was also a long-range standard beam rifle. It also had 4 adjustable beam emitters for long-range attacks. At the back of the spear, a high-vibration saber could be pulled out. At the same time, there was a cross shield with the Black Knights logo on the front and a beam saber on both sides of the waist. At the back of the body were folded wings. When folded, it looked like a somewhat strange solid cloak. Once the cloak was unfolded, it would turn into 12 feathers of different lengths. At the same time, it was also the body's most important weapon, the GN Dragoon.
Ryukino walked back to Xiao Ran's side. He also looked at the body with his hands behind his back and said, "This body has been completely assembled and has passed all the self-tests. There are no problems with the energy cycle. In theory, there are no problems with the program and completion level. However, Loide couldn't test the transmission and usage of GN particles. In addition, the body's overall performance test and parameter adjustment haven't been carried out yet."
Xiao Ran nodded. "The parameters, system, and GN particles can only be handled by me personally. Is there a place to test them here?"
Ryukino thought for a moment. "I remember that there was an internal small test field that was remodeled from the original school's football field. It was originally prepared for mass production of the body. It can be used to test the body's movement, stability, and balance. There is no way to conduct combat tests. It's about the size of the small test field inside the Dawn Society. It should be completed by now."
Of course, Xiao Ran knew about the small test field in the Dawn Society of Aube in the SEED world. It was about the size of a football field. Normal attack and flight tests couldn't be carried out in such a field. It was only used to test basic movement tests, stability tests, and balance tests like running, jumping, walking, and rolling. However, if there really was such a field in the research institute, it would be enough for Xiao Ran to use.
Yu pointed at the special containers of various sizes that were neatly placed on both sides of the body. "These containers are all the spare parts of the body. I don't know how long they can last, but it doesn't matter. Loide can already produce the spare parts of the body on a small scale. If there's a need, they can just produce them."
Xiao Ran took a closer look. The number of boxes piled up was indeed quite a lot. Even if a large transport truck were used to transport them, it would probably take several trucks to transport them. If the spare parts of the new body were all stored inside, it would indeed be able to last for a long time.
However, the large number of spare parts made Xiao Ran think of another problem. "I'm afraid these spare parts can be assembled into a brand-new body."
Ryukino shook his head. "I asked Loide this question before. His answer was that in theory, it should be so, but there's no way to do so. Now, there's only one energy source in the world that can match this body, and it's installed on this body. So, there's no way to make a second body like this one for the time being. There's also no need to worry about the design of these spare parts leaking out, because they were all basic parts when they were first made, and the final parts were all assembled in this research institute."
"Then I'm relieved." Xiao Ran nodded. The problem he just thought of was that there was no way that so many spare parts could be slowly hand-hammered by the special personnel. This way, there would be a lot of risks of exposing the design of this body. However, if only the basic parts were made and finally assembled in the special personnel, this risk would be reduced by a lot. At least, he wouldn't have to worry about an identical body appearing in front of him a few days later.
But on second thought, Xiao Ran felt that he was thinking too much. After all, this body was a body that 'didn't exist'. How could Loide leave such a big loophole for others to use against him? Even if he ordered the spare parts from some factories, it would be impossible for the parts to be the same. There was a 100% chance that he would do something inside.
But thinking about it this way, Xiao Ran felt that he had wronged Loide a little. If the parts that were ordered from the factory couldn't be directly applied to this body … Ahem … the workload would be a little too much.
Xiao Ran clicked his tongue twice. In the end, he couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said to Cheng, "Then if you want to make an identical body, how long would it take?"
Cheng rolled his eyes and pursed his lips into a smile. "Maybe a month or so. There are many spare parts that can be used directly, but in terms of energy, it still needs to be rebuilt."
Xiao Ran said, "Then let him make another one. It'll be easier for you to use."
"Forget it." Cheng shook his head, waved his hand, and said while trying to hold back his laughter, "I think Loide is on the verge of tears. If we ask him to make another one, he'll definitely cry. Besides, I think the transformation fighter is pretty good. After all, Loide has completed the transformation fighter according to the original blueprint. I won't have the chance to carry out any combat missions."
Xiao Ran thought about it and nodded. Although in Xiao Ran's opinion, even if the transformation fighter was completed by Loide's hands, the core of the body was only so-so. The upper limit was only so high. If there was a need to use Cheng in battle, it would be very safe. With a new body, Xiao Ran would be much more relieved. But considering that the Special Forces had been continuously busy for so long, they needed a good rest. And now, there was really no need to use Cheng in battle. Delaying this matter for a while was not a problem.
"Okay, then let's do this for now. Let's wait for them to recover." Xiao Ran waved his hand, walked to the front of the body, and pressed a button at the collective foot. He opened the cockpit of the body and let down the lift rope. He slowly ascended along the lift rope and jumped into the cockpit.
Sitting in the cockpit and looking at the original version of the cockpit, which was a separate cockpit consisting of the left, middle, and right main display screens, he did not have much of an opinion. If he could not make a full-cycle cockpit, he could only use this kind of ordinary cockpit. A full-cycle cockpit was not as simple as all the displays colliding.
After activating the body's system, he took out his personal computer and began to overwrite the body's main control system and operating system. After overwriting, he performed a self-check. After the self-check, he adjusted the parameters. Along with these operations, Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the cockpit, began to emit a faint green light. Dense GN particles gushed out of his body, then entered the GN particle transport pipe through the internal structure of the cockpit, and finally entered the GN particle storage tank built into the body.
Following the completion of the system's coverage and self-check, a progress bar and a countdown appeared on the left side of the system's main screen. The twelve-hour countdown did not cause Xiao Ran's expression to change. It only increased the speed at which its particles surged, allowing the body to charge faster.
After completely charging, the normal consumption of the particles in the storage tank would need to be tested to know how long it could be used. However, according to the output standard of a C-grade body, there would be no problem going through a complete battle, but if it was calculated according to the consumption of an A-grade body, the time would be greatly reduced. This was not even taking into account the large-scale dispersion of GN particles.
Fortunately, the main energy source of this body was not GN particles, but deuterium energy. The GN particles were only used as an auxiliary energy source, and Xiao Ran could continuously charge it. In theory, it could be used infinitely even in a high-intensity battle. After all, Xiao Ran himself was a solar furnace. He could do anything that a solar furnace could do, and it would not be a problem for him to do the same. In the movie version of the 00 Gundam, there was only one solar furnace, and it could also last for a very long time in battle. This was only under normal conditions for Xiao Ran. If it was quantum assimilated, it would be a completely different story.
While Xiao Ran was busy, Zhui was not idle either. The body was now connected to the computer in the hangar with countless cables. Xiao Ran was inspecting and modifying the body's interior, and at the same time, charging the body's particle storage tank. Zhui was also using the mainframe under the body to help Xiao Ran with the corresponding work, confirming the adaptability and maneuverability of the new system and the body's components. He also saw if there were any areas that needed to be adjusted and tested bit by bit.
By the time all the work was done, two or three hours had passed. After all, this was a brand-new body that had not been tested, so the work required was indeed more work than when Xiao Ran got the body of Demon God Caesar and the Soul Slayer. Although the body could not make too big movements, the running-in of small movements, such as raising hands and feet, clenching and swinging fists, as well as adjusting the angle of the jet nozzle, and so on, could be done in the current state. In the two or three hours, except for covering the system and charging the particle storage tank, the rest of the time was spent on these aspects.
The next day, after noon in the 19th section, Loide appeared in front of Xiao Ran, looking like he had slept well but did not have enough rest. Compared to the day before, when Xiao Ran saw him, he was a completely different person. He was much more energetic, and his annoying smile was back on his face.
"Yo." Seeing Xiao Ran and Yu sitting in his office, Loide did not mind or feel surprised at all. After entering the office, he took out his right hand from his pocket and greeted Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran nodded after seeing Loide. He raised his left hand and signaled Loide to wait for a moment. Then, he turned his eyes back to his personal terminal screen and communicated with Cornelia, who was far away in the 19th section, through the headset he was wearing. He commanded and arranged the combat tasks over there.
Xiao Ran had a good rest the night before, but he did not forget about the situation in the 19th section. After Xiao Ran and Yu dealt with some of the Mechs yesterday, this was the second time Xiao Ran contacted the 19th section. The previous contact lasted about an hour, but this time it lasted for three hours. When Loide appeared, Xiao Ran had already solved the problem with Cornelia.
Without making Loide wait for too long, Xiao Ran cut off the communication with Cornelia. However, the personal terminal continued to display the entire situation in the 19th section. Although the screen was not very big, it was enough to accommodate all the information Xiao Ran needed. Xiao Ran did not need to use his hands to do anything. The personal terminal could directly send out all the information and commands Xiao Ran needed. Of course, this relied on Xiao Ran's psychokinesis.
Xiao Ran looked up at Loide and said directly, "It's almost time to rest. Have you arranged the personnel?"
Loide leaned back in his chair and waved his hand lazily, "Everything was arranged before the break yesterday. We'll officially start work after two o 'clock. Three shifts for eight hours. That's what you said. There won't be too much work to do."
"It won't be too much. Three shifts should be enough. While you were resting yesterday, Yu and I dealt with some of the work. We did some detailed tests on the new system covering the Mechs, but we also found some problems that need to be disassembled and fixed. All the problems are marked on the computer. If there's no problem, we'll let the subordinates deal with it."
Xiao Ran stood up and said, "It's almost time. If you haven't eaten, let's go get something to eat and then we'll start work. The situation in the 19th section can't be delayed for too long. Once the EU finds out that I'm not in the 19th section but in the 11th section, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to launch a strong attack. The sooner the Mechs are completed, the safer it is."
