After leaving Lao Luo with Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran left. The things to be sold were mainly the Dawn Cruiser and the Genesis Longsong Cannon. These two things were handed over to Lao Luo to operate. Xiao Ran did not have to worry about anything. He had been dealing with Lao Luo for a long time, and both sides were now very familiar with each other.
Lao Luo gave him a week's time for the maintenance and repair of the Gundam of God, Gundam of Justice, Sacred Lightning Shield and other mecha, which happened to be the time period for him to learn from Lao Luo. Other than making him more familiar with the mecha of his own team under Lao Luo's guidance, how much he could learn would depend on his own understanding and hard work.
Perhaps knowing that Xiao Ran was in urgent need of merit points, Lao Luo gave him three days' time for the Dawn Cruiser and the Genesis Longsong Cannon. Xiao Ran looked at the few merit points he had and gave up on the idea of bringing Cruzet to strengthen the genetic vaccine first. Everything would have to wait until the merit points were in his hands.
Counting the merit points obtained in the world of SEED, it was actually not a lot. The mission reward was 20,000 merit points, but there was no mission evaluation, so there was naturally no evaluation reward. Xiao Ran had destroyed so many mecha that Xiao Ran himself could not remember them all. Counting the merit points, he had at least tens of thousands. However, most of the merit points that he had accumulated before were all invested in the waste recycling business, so at this time, he only had about 40,000 merit points, which was not enough for anything.
Graham's 20,000 merit points were, of course, included in Xiao Ran's 40,000 merit points. The key was that Graham was not very interested in the small mecha, and his main target was the enemies above the captain level. Even so, he had destroyed many captain level mecha to get so many merit points.
Sherry Dew's merit points were needless to say. From the beginning to the end, she had not fought a single battle, and the situation of destroying an enemy did not appear even once. A big zero was hanging above Sherry Dew's head.
As for Nalor, the mission reward was 20,000 merit points, but they could not get the gold treasure chest. The number of mecha destroyed was unknown, but they should have received about 40,000 merit points. In terms of merit points, the four of them did not get much merit points in the world of SEED this time. The main gain was not these merit points, but the Lord Angel. Dawn Cruiser, Genesis Longsong Cannon, two B-Grade mecha, a series of heresy blueprints, and so on. As for the two gold treasure chests, Xiao Ran had not opened yet. What could be opened inside was still unknown.
So many rewards could not be converted into merit points for the time being, but it could be said that the reward was very rich.
After leading everyone back to the living area, Mary and Cruzet had some basic understanding of Prometheus. It was just that compared to Prometheus, Graham, who came here a week earlier, it was a little difficult to accept.
Back in the living area, Xiao Ran looked at the almost empty Gnacou and pursed his lips. Other than Nalor's D-Grade mecha, there was only one B-Grade mecha, the VF-27. When Xiao Ran saw the D-Grade mecha, he had the urge to sell it, but after thinking about it, he suppressed the thought. Although he couldn't use it, at least he could modify it and make it into an MS for repair. There was no need to waste it.
When Xiao Ran's eyes inadvertently glanced at the production line placed in the corner of Gnacou, his eyebrows suddenly twitched. He touched his nose and narrowed his eyes slightly. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he thought, "Hiss, why didn't I think of this before? This thing can be used like this."
The micro-missile production line could produce many types of micro-missiles in the Transdimensional Fortress F world, and it could also produce no more than three different micro-missile backpacks. Previously, only a general heavy armor backpack that could be used by the VF Fighter series was solidified. This was also the source of the backpack Xiao Ran changed for the Blackhawk many times in the mission world.
But Xiao Ran now realized that in the backpack manufacturing requirements of the production line, there was no specific requirement that the backpack produced must be used by the VF Fighter series. In that case, the production line could also produce a general backpack that could be used by the MS. Even the backpack used by the drone.
The backpack produced by the production line could not only launch missiles. All the heavy armor backpacks were complete backpacks that integrated thrusters, missile launchers, defensive armor and small beam weapons. It was also an external backpack with additional components, but the price was quite cheap. It was so cheap that Xiao Ran mistakenly used the produced backpacks as consumables.
Although most of these external components were also consumables, at least the backpack components could be used many times until they were damaged. After all, the first batch of materials was given by Lao Luo, and Xiao Ran did not spend any war merit points to buy materials, so he didn't care much about it. Second, in the mission world, Xiao Ran did not have a place that really belonged to him that could accommodate the missile supply, so he could only replace the backpack directly to replenish the missiles. But after having a battleship, Xiao Ran would certainly not be so wasteful.
And seeing this miniature missile production line, Xiao Ran suddenly understood a little more why Lao Luo insisted on holding the Angel to sell him. Perhaps his miniature missile production line was one of the key reasons.
One of the main weapons used by the small MANON-class battleship was the dense and almost endless miniature missiles. The miniature missiles that could be launched by a battleship at the same time were much more than those launched by the VF Fighter. Moreover, these miniature missiles were extremely accurate and powerful. The key was that these missiles could be produced by themselves. The more produced, the more they were thrown in the battleship. No matter which mission world they went to, there would be no logistical problems.
If it was the Archangel, once the missiles were used up, there would be no way to deal with the close-range MS. Maybe they would not be able to find a suitable model of missile to use at all. Besides, the power of the miniature missiles was not small. There were all kinds of them. Once there were a large number of them, they would be extremely terrifying. The deterrent force was also much greater than the Archangel.
In fact, the Archangel was more like a carrier ship. In the SEED world, at least half of the battleships were used to transport MS and MA. In terms of pure combat ability, the two Archangel battleships were really not as good as the MANON-class battleship in many aspects.
There was no energy-grade armor, only anti-beam coating. The MACROSS had a pinpoint defense system, and there was also another phase transfer energy defense system that was different from the PS armor. These were all things that the Archangel could not compare to. Even if it was a high-speed battleship, it was still not enough compared to the MANON-class battleship. The MANON-class battleship could at least perform hyperspace navigation, but the Archangel could not do that.
In terms of armament, the Archangel only had six cannons, twenty-four missile launchers, and automatic cannons. On the other hand, the MANON-class battleship's main cannon was crazy. It was more powerful than the Archangel's positron cannon. There were countless miniature missile launchers, countless densely packed automatic cannons, and many other large and small beam launchers. Whether it was before or after transformation, it could even fix the transformed VF fighter and use it as a rotating turret.
Speaking of the VF fighter, Xiao Ran happened to have the complete blueprint of the VF-27. He had a production line that could produce miniature missiles in batches without limit, and a VF fighter that was completely compatible with the MANON-class battleship. In that case, it seemed that the MANON-class battleship was much more suitable for him than the Archangel.
In terms of versatility, the MANON-class battleship was definitely not bad. It could be used in the air, in the sea, and in the universe. It could directly enter the universe from the atmosphere without any additional equipment. In terms of operation, the MANON-class battleship could be operated by one person. After transformation, one person could fight like an MS. This was something that the Archangel could not achieve.
"It seems that Lao Luo is right. The MANON-class battleship is indeed not bad. The key is that it suits me, especially when I have the miniature missile production line and the VF fighter's blueprint. It is also a very good launching platform for unmanned aerial vehicles. It also has a battle stage that can be used directly by Sherry Dew without any modifications." Xiao Ran touched his chin and nodded gently. The few people who were originally with Xiao Ran suddenly stopped when they saw Xiao Ran staring at the production line in the distance. Xiao Ran was deep in thought.
"But the Archangel is not completely useless. It can be temporarily kept in case of emergency. At least, I need a spare battleship at hand."
Xiao Ran thought about it and already had an idea. He wanted to get the MANON-class battleship, but he would not give up the Archangel. Anyway, it was only 55 war merit points. After selling the Genesis Longsong Cannon and the Dawn Battleship, it would only be 550,000 war merit points. It would not affect him in any way.
"Xiao Ran, what's the matter?" Mary walked to Xiao Ran's side, adjusted Xiao Ran's collar, and asked.
"Oh, nothing. I just thought of something." Xiao Ran smiled at Mary, then looked at the others, "Let's go back. Grace should have finished cooking. We'll talk about other things after eating."
Originally, there were six people when they went out, but when they came back, there were five. Law stayed with Lao Luo, and then was taken directly into the factory by Lao Luo.
When they entered Lao Luo's factory, Law suddenly looked at the lively scene in the factory with a dull face. Dozens of various Ms stood in the factory. Law had never seen these Ms before. He also saw Xiao Ran's almost broken Lightning Sacred Shield, Graham's Dark Heresy, and a series of airframes. In addition, he also saw a super huge battleship, as well as the Dawn Battleship and the Archangel.
