Chapter 409 The True Meaning of Love
Everything in Orb is on the right track. The reconstruction of the most important [Aurora Society] and [Kaguya] is proceeding in an orderly manner. In order to resume the work of [Aurora Society] as soon as possible, the first and second factories have been rebuilt, and the large equipment that was dismantled and transported to the giant floating platform and [Heavenly Pillar] has also been transferred back to start working directly to produce MS.
"Take this and produce a batch as soon as possible."
When he arrived at [Aurora Society], Yang Hui handed a design drawing to Erica Simmons. Erica Simmons opened it and looked at it directly. She was stunned at first, and then showed a look of surprise.
"Orb is surrounded by the sea, and it really needs a MS unit for use in the water."
This design drawing is not a dedicated MS for use in the water from scratch, but the backpack module for use in the water of the M1 Heretic.
The best thing about the M1 Heretic is its modular design. It does not need to move the body itself, but only needs to develop backpack modules to deal with different situations, and it can be used directly, which perfectly meets the requirement of using MS all day long.
If the MS for each environment needs to be specially designed and produced like ZAFT, it would be difficult for Orb to be organized in a short time even if the size of Orb is expanded several times, so the M1 Astray is the most suitable MS for Orb's current situation.
The same is true for the Earth Federation's [Dagger]. At the beginning of its development, [Dagger] borrowed the design of the Strike Gundam that can replace the backpack to adapt to various environments. Only one model can meet the needs of all environments.
But Yang Hui knows that [Dagger] is not as good as the M1 Astray now, but it will be on par with the current M1 Astray in a short time, and the [Windam] developed after the upgrade has even exceeded the performance of the M1 Astray.
Therefore, the M1 Astray cannot rely on its old capital, and the plan for upgrading and transformation will naturally be put on the agenda, but this plan can be postponed a little. Now Orb's top priority is to expand the number of troops to be enough to defend the entire Orb after the expansion, so as to make the composition of the army more perfect.
The upgraded M1 Astray must also be modularly designed, so there is no need to worry about forming a new unit first and then eliminating it later, resulting in waste. At that time, it can directly replace the upgraded modules.
To be honest, in Yang Hui's opinion, the MVF-M11C Murasame, Orb's second-generation MS, is quite useless. The variable frame technology in this world can be considered perfect. There are precedents such as the G-plan Aegis Gundam, and the X-series second-generation machines Snatch Gundam and Forbidden Gundam. There is no need to re-develop this technology.
But Orb cannot play the most important role of Murasame, which can be transformed into a fighter. With greatly enhanced mobility, it is good at running and surprise attacks, or rapid rescue. However, Orb will not take the initiative to attack because of its position and philosophy. If it is a local rescue, Yang Hui's newly designed flight backpack to replace the [Shrike] also has enough speed.
So Murasame is really useless to Orb. It is better to use the research and development and production resources on the M1 Heretic.
"Yang Hui!"
At this time, Maddock, who should have been on the giant floating platform, roared and walked towards him angrily.
"Hmm?" Yang Hui was stunned for a moment when he saw Maddock, but soon he was relieved. He was so angry because he had not fulfilled his promise with him. The Atlantic Federation, which should have been taught a lesson, ended up being his helper.
"You are a man who does not keep his word..."
While cursing, he reached out to grab Yang Hui's collar and was about to curse at Yang Hui's face, but Maddock's vision suddenly turned around, and the pain from his back made him come back to his senses. He found that he was lying on the ground, and one of his hands was held by Yang Hui.
"Anger hurts the body, old people should not get angry." Yang Hui said calmly.
"You bastard! You don't keep your word!" Although he was restrained by Yang Hui, Maddock still roared at Yang Hui angrily. Now they have joined Orb and are under supervision, and their home has been destroyed by the Atlantic Federation. They can't leave even if they want to, but Yang Hui did not fulfill his promise and did not teach the Atlantic Federation a lesson.
"The two fleets of the Atlantic Federation were completely destroyed, the flagship Washington and Sazarand were gone, and Aznael was also killed, along with his subordinates, Confidence Work, are you still not satisfied?"
"... But you later joined forces with the Atlantic Federation!"
"So... when you said to teach the Atlantic Federation a lesson, do you mean to destroy it?" At this point, Yang Hui's face turned cold.
"... That's not what I meant..." Madok felt the chill from Yang Hui, and his anger also cooled down.
He is not stupid. It is really impossible for Orb to destroy the Atlantic Federation. It is the same now. Although the Atlantic Federation is in chaos and crippled, its foundation is still there. Apart from anything else, if a force that can threaten the Atlantic Federation declares war on the Atlantic Federation at this time, then the internal strife will stop immediately and unite against the outside world.
The reason why the Atlantic Federation is now called crippled is because the internal struggle is very serious. Once the internal struggle ends, the Atlantic Federation will be twisted into a rope, and it will be difficult for any force on the earth to compete alone.
"Don't worry." Yang Hui understood why Maddock was so angry and why he hated the Atlantic Federation so much. The Universal Union Headquarters had consumed the efforts and hard work of countless people, and it was their only home. Their homes were destroyed and many of their companions died. This would be the same for anyone, so Yang Hui did not blame Maddock and pulled him up from the ground. "There are still many opportunities. There is no need to rush."
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Madoc was stunned. The peace talks had just passed and all the forces had signed an armistice agreement. How could there be any chance to take down the Atlantic Federation?
"The Atlantic Federation has suffered such a big loss and will let it go?"
"……Won't."
"Aznael is dead. Is [Blue Cosmos] completely destroyed?"
"……No."
Madok understood that what Yang Hui meant was that peace was only temporary and the war would definitely restart.
"Go and do your work." Since the other party already understood what he meant, Yang Hui didn't need to say more, just let him wait patiently.
"..." But Madoc did not leave, still looking at Yang Hui with burning eyes.
"What else?"
"The Scrap Recyclers Guild no longer has an earth faction and a cosmic faction."
Yang Hui was stunned by Madoc's sudden appearance. He didn't understand why he wanted to tell him this.
"This matter has nothing to do with me."
"I mean, I made an agreement with Madona to all join Orb."
"Huh?" Yang Hui looked at Madoc in surprise. The remnants of the cosmic faction joined Orb because of the deal. However, although the people of the earth faction have a permanent location on the giant floating platform, their relationship with Orb is still cooperative, and It is not a subordinate. Yang Hui has never forced this group of people who yearn for freedom to join Orb.
"What? Don't want to be free?"
"Haha, I finally understand, where does freedom come from?" Madoc's expression was vicissitudes of life and desolation. Before the Atlantic Federation committed a crime against them, they always believed that there was absolute freedom in the world, and that they could survive in the cracks with their abilities. Come down.
But the Atlantic Federation slapped them, no, it should have been a sharp chop on their necks. The moment they regained consciousness, everything was lost, allowing them to see clearly that it was not a big force and they had nothing to do, they just didn't want to do anything to them. , once you decide to take action against them, you can kill them with a flip of your hands.
After the conversation, Madonna, like Maddock, realized the embarrassment of his situation. He was glad that he had chosen Orb. Orb did not force them when they were in the most critical moment, but that was only now. That's all, who knows what the future will bring? Will Yang Hui take action against them in the future?
In this case, instead of waiting until he is disabled and forced to join Orb, or directly eliminated by Orb, it is better to join Orb while still maintaining good relations.
"Haha, your men may not think so, right?"
Yang Hui sneered. If the people from the cosmic faction realized this and chose Orb as their refuge after paying a heavy price, the people from the earth faction would obviously not accept it all. Without personal experience, they would not know that. A feeling of sadness and desolation.
"Well, we've asked everyone. Those who don't want to, let them leave on their own," Maddock said.
"Have you ever thought about what will happen to them in the future?"
Although not all scrap recyclers are talented people, they can all be regarded as capable people. People with particularly outstanding abilities have their names on the lists of major forces. They were previously protected by the scrap recyclers union, and there are various factions behind them. The big forces restrict each other and they can't do anything. But now that the waste recycling dealers' union is gone and they have lost their asylum, these people will be captured by the big forces once they fall alone.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Since they chose freedom, let's feel the price of freedom for ourselves." Madoc said with a bitter smile.
It is true that the scrap recyclers are companions who stick together for warmth, but they are not in a life-and-death relationship with each other. They help each other when they are together. Now that they have chosen to separate, they will go their separate ways.
"...Okay, you go back and prepare, I will have someone meet you."
"good."
"By the way, that guy Luo..."
"He has a headache now."
"Haha, yes, his target is the strongest scrap recycler, but now the scrap recyclers union is gone."
"No, that's not what I'm talking about."
"what is that?"
"What's the name of your pilot... Jiuli's little girl? Didn't she retire? Now she has joined Luo's team."
Yang Hui: Σ(°△°|||)︴
Jiuli has retired? Jiuli, one of the three great female warriors of Orb, has retired? To pursue your own love? Isn't this right? He still understands Jiu Li, shouldn't she be such a love-minded persona? And wouldn’t she know that an elite pilot like her had retired?
Coincidentally, at this time, Mayura and Asaqi appeared in Yang Hui's sight and immediately called them over.
"Commander-in-Chief!" X2
"Take a break, let me ask you a question."
"Excuse me, Commander-in-Chief."
"Jiu Li has really retired?"
"No." X2
Seeing that the two men answered without hesitation, and their innocent and confused expressions couldn't be more real, Yang Hui also looked at Madoc with a confused look on his face.
Unexpectedly, Madoc was also confused. A few days ago, he actually saw Jiuli in Luo's team, and heard Luo ask her why she retired. Jiuli replied that she was pursuing her love, but... this is again what's the situation?
"Ah, Commander-in-Chief, are you asking about Jiuli and Luo being together?" Mayura and Asaqi thought of something and asked Yang Hui.
"Well, what's going on?"
"That's right, it's true that Jiuli pursued love, but she didn't retire. She applied to Director Simmons and used retirement as an excuse to join Luo's team, monitor Luo's every move as a spy, and then persuade them to join Orb from the inside." Ashaqi said.
"The true meaning of love is to tie your lover to yourself, this is Jiuli's original words." Mayura added.
"………………"
Hearing this, Yang Hui and Maddock were silent, raised their thumbs with a serious expression, and gave Luo their blessings in their hearts.
