(Is the pace of development slow now? Some readers in the book review section say that the development is too slow.)
It had been a few days since Xiao Ran saw the new Dark Heresy. In these days, Xiao Ran came to the secret factory of the Dawn Society every day and cooperated with the technicians to debug the body. Because of the huge changes to the weapon system, backpack flight system, and so on, the body's previously written OS also needed to be rewritten. This was a huge torture for Xiao Ran, who only knew how to adjust the system and OS but not write it.
In the past, the Dark Heresy only needed to press a few buttons, and the Dark Heresy's arm would automatically be pulled out from the back of its waist according to the planned trajectory. But now, the position of the weapon had been changed. If it was carried out according to the original operation, not only would there be no way to pick up the weapon, but it would also cause the palm to hit the back of the armor and make mistakes. So Xiao Ran needed to cooperate with the technicians to change the original settings.
Changing the movement of the weapon removal was not too difficult. As long as the original parameters were deleted, Xiao Ran could manually remove the weapon, and then record the adjustments. These were considered simple modifications and did not waste time. With the full cooperation of Xiao Ran and the technicians of the Dawn Society, the basic adjustments were made in a day.
As for the remaining energy parameters, the parameters of the flight backpack, and so on, it took Xiao Ran a few days to set them up. Moreover, they weren't all set up yet. Xiao Ran, who had been sitting in the cockpit all day, felt his back ache. He couldn't help but think of Kira.
Looking at the keyboard and system display in front of him, Xiao Ran under the mask was anxious and helpless. "If Kira is here, these things can be done in a day. But where is the Archangel? Why is there still no news?"
Having not received any news from the Archangel for days, Xiao Ran, who was worried about the changes in the plot and Mary's safety, was a little annoyed. He scratched his head and was about to leave the dark heretic, but a communication box suddenly popped up on the screen in the cockpit. Erica appeared on the screen with a serious face. "I just received news that the Archangel has appeared near the territorial waters and is fighting with the Zaft army."
Xiao Ran immediately sat up straight and asked anxiously, "What's the situation?"
"Not good. The information we received is that the Archangel was severely damaged in many places. The Zaft Army sent out four MSs and a submersible mothership." Erica shook her head slightly. "Right now, only the Assault Gundam and a Sky Overlord are resisting Zaft's attack, but the military has sent a fleet to Aube's territorial waters near the battle."
Xiao Ran gently tapped on the keyboard and frowned slightly. "I want to attack."
Slightly surprised, Erica hurriedly said, "No! That Mech must not appear in their line of sight! "
Xiao Ran frowned. "But the dark heretic has already appeared."
"It's precisely because it has already appeared that it can't appear in Aube's territory." Erica knew that Xiao Ran's lover was the captain of the Archangel, and she also understood Xiao Ran's worry about the Archangel. She softened her voice and comforted him. "The fleet's gunners are very powerful. As long as the Archangel enters Aube's territorial waters, they will definitely have a way to get the Archangel out of danger. There are also talents on that ship that our country needs, so they will definitely not let anything happen to them."
It was not that Xiao Ran didn't know that it was impossible to pilot the dark heretic to attack, but when he heard about the current situation of the Archangel, he still couldn't help but want to rush out. Not only for the plot, but also for the woman who let him leave first in danger.
At some point, Xiao Ran could no longer suppress his feelings for Mary. Before coming to this world, when he watched the anime Gundam SEED, Xiao Ran already had a good impression of Mary, a person who only existed in the 2D world. This impression was just a simple 2D liking. After coming to this world, the direct impact brought him a completely different feeling. His various interactions with Mary made him unknowingly turn this impression into a good impression, and the kiss on the Archangel turned the good impression into love.
The feeling of knowing that the person he loved was in danger and in fact having the ability to help but being helpless for other reasons made Xiao Ran quite struggle. But his rationality also told him that choosing to remain silent in this situation was the best choice for him, the Archangel, and Aube.
Xiao Ran came down from the dark heresy and hurried into the main control room of the factory. Here, he saw the first-hand battle footage sent by Aube's reconnaissance helicopter. After seeing the Archangel in the picture, Xiao Ran gasped and almost could not suppress the desire to attack.
In the image, the Archangel was as badly damaged as Erica said. There was a huge hole on the port side of the front, where black smoke was billowing out of the hole. On the left side, the Barriante electromagnetic railgun only had one connection port left. The battleship was covered in bumps and hollows, and it was completely dyed black as if it had been through a lot of battles. Even some of the thrusters had malfunctioned. If it were not for the assistance and protection of the Assault Gundam and the Sky Overlord that was hovering in the air, the Archangel would probably be in a worse state than what it looked like now.
The Assault Gundam was unusually strong in the picture. It was not at a disadvantage even with the support of the remaining weapons of the Archangel. The Air Overlord seized the opportunity to attack the Storm Gundam, not giving any chance for the Storm Gundam to lock onto the Archangel. Facing the 'Hellfire' electromagnetic pulse cannon equipped by the Air Overlord, the Storm Gundam did not dare to attack forcefully. It could only seize the opportunity to shoot at the Archangel or the Assault Gundam.
The whole battle seemed to be in a stalemate. With the powerful and swift attack protection of the Assault Gundam, although the Archangel was seriously damaged, the process of moving forward was still daunting but not dangerous. Gradually, the Archangel also slowly approached the territorial waters where the Aube fleet was located. Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem After the Obben fleet started to fire at the Archangel, Xiao Ran steadied his breathing and ran out of the main control room. After running out of the factory, he directly got into an open jeep. After a 180-degree turn, he drove away with the roar of the engine. His target was very clear — — a hidden dock on Obben Island, a closed dock completely built in the hinterland of the mountain.
As soon as the car drove into the dock, Xiao Ran saw Erica standing in the dock, holding a tablet computer and arranging some work. Many technicians, staff, and emergency personnel belonging to the Aube fleet were already waiting here. Xiao Ran slammed on the brakes to stop the car, abandoned the car, and ran to Erica.
Almost 10 minutes had passed from the secret factory to the dock. In other words, in these 10 minutes, Xiao Ran had no idea about the current situation of the Archangel. When he ran to Erica, Xiao Ran asked with a little hurried breathing, "Director Simmonds, what's the situation now?"
"You really guessed that the Archangel would be brought here." Erica Simmonds looked at Xiao Ran's anxious look and smiled slightly, comforting him, "The Archangel has left the battle and is now on its way here. Don't worry, the fire-fighting ship has connected to the Archangel as soon as possible. Now we have received the news that the fire on the ship has been controlled. The rescue helicopter has also arrived at the Archangel and will transfer the wounded on the Archangel first. There will be no problem."
"That's good." Xiao Ran exhaled fiercely and felt relieved, "How long will it take to get here?"
"They will arrive in an hour or two. After all, they have just entered the territorial waters, and it will take some time to get here." Erica replied. Seeing Xiao Ran's nervous, relaxed, and slightly uneasy expression, she couldn't help but chuckle. "You can take a rest during this period. At the very least, you have to change your clothes to welcome them."
Xiao Ran looked down at the Dawn Society's work uniform he was wearing, touched the mask on his face, paused for a moment, and finally shook his head, "No, my current appearance and identity are not suitable to board the Archangel. I'll just watch here. When the Ashar representative meets the officers on the Archangel, I'll meet them."
"Wise choice." Erica smiled, waved at Xiao Ran, and left, "I have to get busy. That ship has been damaged to such an extent. It will be enough for us to keep busy for a while."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded gently. After seeing Erica leave, he turned around and found a place to sit down. He sat there for more than an hour. His mind was full of bits and pieces of interaction with Mary since boarding the Archangel. Unknowingly, the corners of his mouth had curled up.
