When Xiao Ran hurried to the bridge, all he could see were flashes of light coming through the window of Archangel's bridge. His ears heard the siren from the bridge, locking the enemy. Squinting his eyes slightly, Xiao Ran pushed his hands backwards and landed next to Murrue sitting on the captain's seat.
Although he knew what was happening, Xiao Ran pretended not to know anything. He asked suddenly: "What happened."
"The advance fleet was attacked." Murrue raised her head with a hesitant look, and looked at Xiao Ran with a confused look: "The news came to let us retreat, but…"
Badgiruel clenched her fist and reminded her: "Captain! Time is short, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
Looking at Murrue's confused eyes, Xiao Ran was also a little surprised. He never thought that Murrue, who had always been extremely strong, would show such an expression at this time. Unlike Malu that Xiao Ran knew, people felt unbearable and wanted to pity.
"Captain, an enemy ship began to steer forward, determined to be Nazca class, with a distance of 300, the forward direction is this ship!"
The radar controller's words made Xiao Ran a little hesitant, then turned and lowered his head and called out to the control room below, "Comparison of the enemy and ourself in terms of combat power."
Regarding Xiao Ran's question, the radar controller replied loudly without hesitation: "The enemy 's Nazca Class one, two Laurasia Class, nine Ginn, and Aegis. Our army Nelson Class one, six Drake Mobile Armor 36, no, 34."
"Are you kidding! How could there be so many ZAFT's in this place !?"
Xiao Ran was taken aback by hearing the radar controller's answer. The three ZAFT warships already belonged to a mighty combat force. The ten Mobile Suit and three battleships were enough to hit the fleet once. On top of having an elite member, the possibility of victory is much more. Not to mention that in the animation, only one Nazca-class battleship wiped out the entire advance fleet. The number has now tripled. The Archangel and the utterly useless advance fleet are not their opponents at all.
'The difficulty has increased so much at this time. It's completely different from the plot. No wonder Murrue will also show such confusion in the face of such an enemy. I don't know whether I should rescue the comrade or abandon them' Xiao Ran thought to himself. If he supported Murrue, he was doubtful whether he could be preserved in such a battle, but fortunately for Xiao Ran. There is something on it to ensure safety, and the Archangel also has a final ace.
"You can't just escape like this for the first time! At least before falling to the earth, the plot cannot be changed anyway!" Squeezing his fists, Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and turned to look at Murrue: "Even if we turn around now, we can't escape the same high speed The Nazca-class battleship. If it doesn't work, I have the means to protect the Archangel.
Murrue listened to Xiao Ran's calm and firm words, and her confused eyes slowly recovered her radiance. After an in-depth look at Xiao Ran, she commanded loudly: "All members, the combat stage has been set to level one. The Archangel will aid the Advance Fleet. Mobile Suit and Mobile Armor launch timing will be decided by Second Lieutenant Badgiruel."
After speaking to Murrue, Xiao Ran directly held down the call button next to her: "Corporal Murdoch, can my Mobile Suit be sortie?
In the hangar, Sergeant Maddock looked at Ginn, who had almost wholly welded the flying backpack, sighed helplessly: "Not yet, we will hurry and finish in the shortest time."
"Understand." Xiao Ran took a deep breath and disconnected the communication, cursing inwardly: 'If it hadn't been for your procrastination, you would have encountered this situation? I'll rely on it.'
Shaking his head and squeezing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Xiao Ran worked hard to keep himself calm. He smiled flatly at Murrue's presence: "I will sortie, rest assured, there will be no problems."
"Well, be careful." Xiao Ran, who had flown to the gate of the bridge again, heard Murrue's seemingly unavoidable response, and a little warmth in his heart. With Badgiruel's hasty command, Xiao Ran also entered the elevator.
"Loaded Korinthos 7-12, 19-24, loaded the sledgehammer 1-6, 13-18, preparation for anti-beam ray, Valiant opened, Igelstellung opens, let Strike and Moebius Zero sortie."
As soon as the elevator door closed, Xiao Ran felt only a sudden blackness in his eyes. His heart was beating like a drum in his ears, only to feel his head faint and blank. Dragging his tingling feet, he did not realize that he already reach the hangar.
"Xiao Ran." His shoulders suddenly sank, and the feeling came to make Xiao Ran tremble reflectively. Turning her head stiffly and staring straight at the other person for a few seconds before breathing like suffocation. With a wry smile: "Corporal Murdoch, I'm afraid I'm not clear."
Corporal Murdoch tapped Xiao Ran's chest lightly: "Kid, are you all right, I just saw your face look very ugly."
"Me? Oh, it's okay." Xiao Ran shook his head and asked, "How is the mecha?"
Corporal Murdoch laughed and patted Xiao Ran's shoulder again: "It's almost complete. Ginn has transformed to the highest level according to your requirements. The speed can be about three times that of ordinary Ginn. But you have to keep in mind that speed does not equal the flexibility of the mecha."
"I understand this." Xiao Ran nodded, looking at Ginn who was about to complete the transformation.
The body's head is exactly the same as ordinary Ginn, even in colour. The two arms are like the previous ones, with Gundam palms and Gene's arms. The slight difference is the light beam that has been connected to the left shoulder. The shield is on the right shoulder. Xiao Ran did not expect that Corporal Murdoch would mount the green shoulder parts of the artillery equipment.
On Ginn's back, the original flying backpack that resembled two chicken wings has been wholly replaced. It is replaced with something like the Strike Gundam flying backpack. It is said to be like nature because this backpack was originally a Strike Gundam flying backpack. The backpack was transformed, and the different places were cut off where it originally extended to both sides of the head. The glider was half narrower and shorter, and the position was slightly behind. Compared to the original, after the transformation, the gliding wing seemed a lot thicker. The fixed wings that initially extended from the two propellers under the backpack were also cut off. It is to avoid affecting the angle of movement of Ginn.
What made Xiao Ran a little bit surprised was that Corporal Murdoch even removed the two turboprops that initially belonged to the Ginn wings. He then fixed them to the gliding wing of the backpack. It is no wonder that the two thrusters will cut off and thicken the original glider.
The six large thrusters are equivalent to three original flight backpacks of Ginn. This has not yet added the small jet outlets behind each of the legs. If it is to be propelled at full speed, it is almost comparable to that equipped with an air combat backpack of Strike Gundam now. But the mix of black, red, and green looks ugly.
Seeing Xiao Ran's look of surprise, Corporal Murdoch also laughed: "Okay, but it is limited to the tools and equipment on the Archangel and our technical limitations. And it is only in terms of speed. The movements of the joints may be broken due to excessive force, so you need to pay attention."
As soon as Xiao Ran was about to speak, he heard a loud noise from the Archangel, and the hangar began to shake violently. The hangar which had lost gravity, causing fixed tools and equipment scattered in all direction. As a result, Xiao Ran was thrown up and fell heavily on the wall of the hangar.
Corporal Murdoch was also shaken to the other side, his hands propped on the wall. He anxiously shouted at Xiao Ran: "There's no time to waste. Quickly change your outfit!"
Xiao Ran nodded. Endured the pain in the back, he turned around and rushed to the waiting room. In less than three minutes, he changed into a blue driving suit and hurried out. He held his helmet and flying all the way to Ginn's cockpit.
Along the way, Xiao Ran saw that almost all the mechanic team were surrounded the interface of the flying backpack and Ginn. What's more, the blood flow in their head caused by the previous shock could not be taken into account when the work almost completed. Xiao Ran couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Closer to Ginn's cockpit, Corporal Murdoch, who had been waiting for it, caught Xiao Ran as soon as he reached out. He then pushed Xiao Ran directly into the cockpit: "There is no time, the system I modified earlier contacted me tell it's done. However, the right shoulder equipment has not been set. It is best not to use it randomly. Quickly start the mecha to link backpack and power!"
"Understood." Xiao Ran nodded slowly and started the body directly at the same time the moment he gets inside the cockpit. The warning alarm also heard inside the cockpit. With these sounds, both sides and the front display also turned on. The speed of the quantum computer fully activated the mecha within a few seconds. A prompt for component changes also appeared on the display system.
Looking at this reminder, Xiao Ran, who should have been entirely unaware of it, remembered that instinctual memory in his head. Without any hesitation, directly pulled out the keyboard and knocked on it:
"Part system changed, 120mm Vulcan gun on shoulder, 350mm Bazooka link, parameter set-up okay."
"Weapon settings are changed. The main weapon, 57mm High-Energy Beam Rifle. Secondary weapon, Beam Saber. Left shoulder weapon parts, change completed. Parameter set-up is okay. Power distribution setting okay, system link okay."
"The backpack is changed to the high-powered Strike backpack, the parameter adjustment of the third gear is okay. The power distribution setting is completed, and the system link is okay."
"Weapon removal action parameters, mecha parameters... wipe, still has time to slowly debug! The original parameters skip, skip, skip!"
Xiao Ran felt that the interval between the vibrations of the Archangel was getting larger and larger, and the frequency was getting higher and higher. With his fastest speed, all the places that can be understood and could be changed were dealt with. For that, it took almost five minutes. When Xiao Ran finally finished everything, he looked up and shouted outside the cockpit: "Corporal Murdoch!"
"Okay!" Corporal Murdoch replied, "Remember, the Beam Shield cannot resist Live Ammunition!"
"I know!" Xiao Ran replied loudly. He then held down the communication button and connected to the Archangel's bridge: "I'm fine now, I can begin sortie."
"Teacher, wait a minute." Miriallia's voice flustered into Xiao Ran's ears. He could not help but add: "Miriallia, calm down. Nothing will happen, believe me."
"Um." Miriallia answered gently, and then her voice rang through the entire hangar: "Begin the auxiliary transportation system. The system starts moving. Ginn, ready to sortie."
"Quickly make way!" Corporal Murdoch yelled at his men after hearing Miriallia's voice in the hangar. Xiao Ran also saw dozen people all spread out at once on his screen. He feels a gentle moving from his Ginn. Xiao Ran quickly closed the cockpit and wear the helmet. Suddenly this narrow space gives Xiao Ran some depressing feeling.
"The ejection slot is connected. The system is normal. The light gun is configured. The line is smooth. Ginn, sortie. Teacher, please be careful.
"Understand. Miriallia, the mecha has been transformed. It's too unpleasant to be called Gin" Xiao Ran smiled slightly at Miriallia, who in the communication picture in the upper right corner. Pushing his arms with a sense of operation and Ginn bend down: "Lightning Ginn, Xiao Ran, sortie!"
