Xiao Ran looked at the Scarlet Forbidden that was lying horizontally in front of him, surrounded by a group of technicians and maintenance personnel. After hearing Simmonds' words, he glanced at her and nodded slightly. This time, while piloting the Midnight Gundam, even though Xiao Ran was able to bring out the body's capabilities, he still felt that there were many limitations when piloting it. He wasn't very used to using it.
Although the Yata no Kagami armor could be immune to beam attacks, to a certain extent, it greatly increased the defense against beam attacks. However, this ability was obtained by depriving the armor of the ability to defend against live ammunition. However, at present, the Yata no Kagami armor did not have much of an impact other than being slightly powerless against live ammunition.
However, at the moment when the Yata no Kagami armor absorbed and reflected the beam attack, Xiao Ran could feel that in that short moment, the Kagami armor actually lost more operation possibilities. It couldn't use its own weapons to attack while reflecting the beam attack. There were many reasons for this, but the most important one was that after being attacked, the Yata no Kagami armor's energy absorption caused it to stiffen.
While absorbing energy, it also caused the Kagami armor to be restrained by the beam attack. If it was an ordinary beam attack from an MS, then the effect of the restraints on the Kagami armor's body could be said to be very small. However, if it was a high-power attack from a battleship, even if the Midnight Gundam could block and reflect the beam attack, it would still be restrained by the powerful energy field, making it difficult for it to move. Under such circumstances, when it was attacked from other directions, it was very likely that the Kagami armor would be destroyed and killed.
Of course, only a fool would block a battleship's bombardment for no reason. In general, the Yata no Kagami armor did indeed increase the Kagami armor's defense by a lot, but it had some negative effects on combat. At the very least, the Yata no Kagami armor itself was definitely not comparable to the PS armor in terms of hardness and durability. For example, Xiao Ran's knee strike had already caused many cracks to appear on the knee and calf armor.
The fact that there were no floating weapons to use had more or less affected Xiao Ran to a certain extent. After all, the attacks of floating weapons were unpredictable, and they had a great advantage in attacking from all directions. However, because there were no floating weapons, Xiao Ran's skills were all embodied in the Kagami armor itself. His operation and control of the Kagami armor had reached an extreme level, and he could still display a good combat ability.
However, the Kagami armor's weakness was equally obvious. If Xiao Ran was piloting his Justice Gundam, he could at least suppress the Yellow Plunder and Crimson Ruin at the same time. At the same time, he could also launch an effective attack on the Blue Disaster. He could also ensure that there were no other Kagami armor around him, and this was in a chaotic battle. This was something that the Midnight Gundam could not compare to. It could only achieve the same thing as the Freedom Gundam, where it could lock on multiple targets and fire at the same time when there was an opportunity.
The real problem lay in the body's energy source, skeleton, and output. The energy source was a new battery developed independently by the Dawn Society. Even with the new battery pack and the backpack's energy source, the energy consumption in the battle was limited. If Xiao Ran really went all out in the battle, the energy source would be consumed very quickly. It would not be able to support him for a long period of time, especially when he was facing an ace mech of the same caliber.
The Daybreak Gundam and Midnight Gundam both used the G-series mecha's frame. Their flexibility seemed to be sufficient, but compared to the new-generation mecha's frame, they were a little behind. Not only were they not as flexible as the new-generation mecha's frame, but there was also a gap in their compression resistance, sturdiness, and overall performance.
The thing that could best reflect the flaws in the skeleton and energy source was the power output of the body. This kind of power output not only included the frequency and power of the beam attack, but also the propulsion ability and the strength of the body. For example, when the Crimson Hex had descended from the sky, even though Xiao Ran had reacted in time and used the Midnight Gundam to pull out its materialized short sword to block the attack, the Crimson Hex's power had also reduced its height. If the technique of the Crimson Hex wasn't good enough, the attack of the Crimson Hex might have caused many problems.
Of course, this was what Xiao Ran obtained when he piloted the Midnight Gundam. Simmonds' analysis was more about the lack of data. Although his thoughts were similar to Xiao Ran's, he also considered the problem of the armor's defense against live weapons and close combat. However, how to modify and adjust the armor was not something that could be done today.
When Director Simmonds summarized the data obtained, Xiao Ran also gave some suggestions. In fact, there were not many things that could be changed in the armor. From the beginning of the design, they did not think of using a nuclear engine, so it was impossible to change the armor's armor to a nuclear engine. Therefore, in terms of energy, they could only start from the backpack. Just like the Savior Gundam X11, it used the backpack to provide nuclear energy.
The armor's armor and power output were inevitable limitations after the design and manufacturing. There was no way to change it. However, the Midnight Gundam was not specially designed for close combat, so this flaw could be ignored.
Finally, there was the effective defense against live weapons. In fact, it was not that troublesome to change this aspect. It could be solved by adding two shoulder shields or a shield that could be used for attack.
But to be honest, Xiao Ran felt that no matter how the Midnight Gundam was improved, it would not be of much significance to him. This was because he could use the Justice Gundam, which was obviously more advanced than the Midnight Gundam. There was no need to take the risk of piloting the Midnight Gundam safely.
This time, he piloted the Midnight Gundam to cooperate with Simmonds and to thank Ashar for arranging this armor. It was more of a symbolic action. In the future, it would be very difficult or even impossible for him to use this Midnight Gundam in battle. Even if the Midnight Gundam continued to battle, it would not be Xiao Ran who would continue piloting it.
After telling Simmonds that he would not continue piloting the Midnight Gundam into battle, Simmonds nodded as a matter of course. In fact, to her, Xiao Ran piloting the Midnight Gundam into battle was already a rather risky and irresponsible act.
Simmonds nodded and looked at the Justice Gundam, which was obviously thick and had special abilities. She also felt that the Gundam was indeed much more powerful than the Midnight Gundam. Then, she crossed her arms slightly above her abdomen to show off her beautiful figure.
Simmonds looked at the Gundam on the ground and then looked at the Midnight Gundam. Then, she turned to Xiao Ran and said, "Then, who are you going to hand the Midnight Gundam to? This kind of combat power can't be left just like that. Also, the Gundam you brought back, spend a few days to repair and analyze it. You also need to find a good pilot to use it, right?"
Xiao Ran nodded and muttered to himself. These two Gundam indeed needed to be handed over to a qualified pilot to show the effects of the Gundam. However, the problem now was that Aube really did not know who to choose. Once Aslan left the Savior Gundam X11, the Gundam X11 would also be free. That meant that there would be a shortage of three ace pilots. For the current weak Aube, this was a rather troublesome matter.
Director Simmonds looked at Xiao Ran's thoughtful expression and said with a smile, "Seeing that you're in a difficult position, I'll recommend two people to you."
"Hmm?" Xiao Ran looked at Simmonds and nodded gently. "Who?"
"Currently, the Dawn Society's test pilot is Mayo Flying Bird. Although she has only been a test pilot for a short period of time, she has shown outstanding potential that is unmatched by the average pilot. After proper training, she will definitely become a qualified ace pilot. The other one is the Grandmaster of Combat who retired from the army after the last war. After your return, he returned to the army. He is worthy of being called the strongest pilot in the heretics, Barry Ho."
"Mayo Flying Bird? Barley Ho? " Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. He had heard that Mayo Flying Bird had become the Dawn Society's test pilot, and her performance was not bad. However, he did not expect to hear Simmonds mention this name again. Furthermore, Simmonds seemed to be very optimistic about this little girl.
The other person, Barley Ho, was a stranger to Xiao Ran. After a pause, Xiao Ran asked, "I know about Mayo Flying Bird, but two years ago, she was just a little girl who didn't know anything. Two years later, she really has the ability to pilot such a mech and appear on the battlefield?"
Simmonds covered his mouth and laughed softly. "That's not because of you, sir. That little girl has always regarded you as her idol. After you disappeared, she went to Bakirulu and asked to join Aube's army. She said that she wanted to help you and her brother protect this country. Moreover, she had already shown great potential during her training. Although she was not the youngest pilot in the batch at that time, her results were the best. However, because she was really too young and there was no war, Bakirulu sent her to the Dawn Society as a test pilot."
"However, I can guarantee that even if Mu wanted to deal with Mayo, he would have a headache for a long time."
