In the middle of the night, they gathered most of the people on the Archangel in the hangar. The purpose was to wait for the mechanic crew to see the item send by the Red Frame in bulk. Xiao Ran named it 'Noir.' The Astray Gundam is assembled out. The people in the mechanic squad focused all their work on the Astray Noir. Under Lowe's command, they replaced the parts that were already damaged little by little. As for the missing pieces, they'll be using Strike Gundam parts to install them.
Although everyone has seen the Red Frame, they can see no difference between the black machine and the red machine except for the color. Although it takes some time to assemble the MS, this cannot stop these people from seeing one with their own eyes. And they built it quickly with enthusiasm for the MS on Archangel.
And this enthusiasm directly drove their working atmosphere. With the help of people from the mechanic team, they cleared the scattered storage of supplies on time, and the rest of the people was surrounded by the red or black machine.
Kira is also one of these people. He was shocked when he saw the black machine, the red machine, and the Strike Gundam head. After all, it's because it was only in the G series. The angular antenna and the bulge on the chin, as well as the indistinguishable visor, caused him to mutter the name of Gundam when he saw the Red Frame and Black Frame.
However, after Kira took a closer look, it was apparent that Astray and G series's body is very different. It is clear that Astray and G series belong to two other series, but even the two series are in the same line. In both series, from the perspective of Kira, at least the joints of the arms and elbows and the joints of the legs and knees are the same, and of course, there are twin palms.
In the middle of the night, people who watched the excitement also found that they were wasting a lot of time. It's because in the middle of the night, in addition to managing the red machine and the parts of the black machine, more time was watching the people in the mechanic team overhaul all the components one by one.
They didn't have the intention of connecting the components to the torso at all. After looking at it, they found it meaningless and gradually dispersed.
Kira wanted to leave, but before he was about to leave, he was caught by Lowe and Murdoch and directly stuffed into the cockpit of the black machine that was arranged for him. He had to write an OS for a brand-new machine that had never been turned on, causing him a headache.
It is not easy to write an OS for MS. Not to mention the G series's five machines, even Orb, who has gathered all the power of the entire Morgenroete, had to rely on Lowe and his people to make an OS suitable for ordinary people to drive. In other words, it depends on the talent.
Although Kira can directly copy the OS from Strike Gundam, it is not from the same series as the black mecha. Not just that, it is impossible to copy it completely. Simultaneously, it is also troubling to write the OS without the unit being assembled. You can only figure out a rough idea first so that you can debug it simultaneously as the body is formed, and the only thing left is to perfect it after the body is assembled.
This single machine causing a lot of people feels troubled. But the pilot of the Black Frame itself, Xiao Ran, did not stay at the hangar. After throw the Astray Noir, he's been dragged into the Captain's Quarter by Murrue, and she investigated the machine, Junk Guild and Lowe. After answering Murrue, Badgiruel, and Mu, Xiao Ran also did not answer anything from Desert Dawn and returned to the room for resting. He's neglected Lowe, Kira, and the mechanic team.
When Xiao Ran appeared in a hangar in the early morning the next morning, the whole area was so quiet that he can even see his shadows. The mechanic team, who had been busy all night long, insisted that they disbanded and rested before Xiao Ran came. He also thoughtfully arranged a room for Lowe in the Archangel to at least have a resting place in the past few days.
Since he didn't see anyone, Xiao Ran didn't want to bother anyone. He saw the Astray Noir with an arm attached. They suspended the black machine in the air, and the back should belong to the battery pack. The blank piece has only one thick cable connected to the main power supply of the Archangel. They should use it to test the degree of arm linking.
After admiring his new machine, Xiao Ran left. When he came to the hangar again, it was already in the afternoon. Perhaps it was because the preparations of the previous night took a lot of time. When Xiao Ran went there in the afternoon, Astray Noir put on one more thigh, and he can see the general appearance basically, and the mechanic team completed the remaining leg during the day.
Afterward, the maintenance team was divided into two groups again, one group was responsible for the transformation work of Strike Gundam, and the other group continued to complete the remaining piece of the Astray Noir. Xiao Ran also spent most of his time in the hangar, helping them to do some things within his ability. At the same time, he is also learning some simple methods of finding and troubleshooting faults.
Even so, Xiao Ran only learned a little bit after a few days passed. Even though it's too esoteric to learn and too severe to repair, at least to find significant problems and deal with minor issues, Xiao Ran can still handle it.
The people on the Archangel are busy, and the same goes for the Desert Dawn people. After their request for the Archangel to help deal with the tiger was agreed upon, they chose the battlefield, checked the news, and took advantage of the night to ambush the trap. In a few days, the whole group was almost ready for the battle. They can say that everything is prepared and only owes the east wind. Only after the modification on Strike is completed, the Astray can be assembled.
And just as Xiao Ran watched that the Astray Noir was about to be completed, something he almost forgot for a long time, a voice that he hadn't heard for a while also came out of his mind.
.
"DING"
"Main Mission 2 was issued. Within ten days, Host must choose to join this World's influence and learned mecha piloting technique within one month and reached D – Class."
"Mission Completed"
"Host has decided to choose the Earth Alliance Army Special Assignment Department."
"Host become a subordinate under Archangel's member. Rank Major."
"Mecha Piloting Technique: D – Class."
"Mission Evaluation: B"
.
"Because Host completes the Main Mission 2 alone, you'll be rewarded with Silver Treasure Chest. We will provide a reward in the individual storage column."
"Mission Evaluation B will be rewarded with the Silver Treasure Chest."
"Evaluation reward will be issued uniformly after the task is complete."
.
"Main Mission 3: Not issued yet."
.
Xiao Ran, who was holding a large wrench, was stunned after hearing this sound. He raised his eyebrows, put down the things in his hands, gave a reason to leave the hangar, and returned to his room. Xiao Ran then carefully looked at the prompt message in the watch.
"Only evaluation Level B?" Xiao Ran was surprised and disappointed after seeing the evaluation. He thought that it could mix the rank Major into an Evaluation Level A. He never thought that a Major, a ranking that can be considered a middle-level officer in Earth Alliance, only received evaluation Level B.
'In addition to the military rank, the piloting skill also occupies part of the evaluation factor. Is the D-Class piloting skill truly implicate on the final evaluation?' Xiao Ran shook his head and said in his heart: 'That means if I want to reach evaluation Level S… I need at least Brigadier General rank and B – Class piloting skill?'
Xiao Ran smiled, guessing that it should be this way.
I guessed that the Main Mission 2 might be the hidden benefits of different camps. The services are there, but the rewards are not high, and it is purely normal.
Anyway, I have already got an evaluation at Level S before. Therefore, I shouldn't care about evaluation level B on Main Mission 2.
With a thought in his heart, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and within a few seconds, he began to smile bitterly: 'Your mother… I could only stare helplessly for now. The only opportunity to receive evaluation rewards in advance was also used by me, for nothing. Hopefully, Silver Treasure Chest give me a worthy reward. Else, I don't know what to say.'
