Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 91 The Correct Use of Lambda Drivers

The semi-public test of the Immortal Shield was finally held as scheduled. Although Red cleared out irrelevant people, those who actually wanted to see it, with Red's tacit consent, basically used various means to understand the test situation.

Red now looked like he had stayed up too late, but Angel's face was beaming with joy. She was driving the Immortal Shield and fighting a simulated battle with Xia Yulan in the meteorite belt next to the colonial satellite.

The car Xia Yulan was driving was the green heretic that Red had fed into the system and then bought.

This machine is now a rescue and testing machine for the Xinggong colony satellite. The green line represents "safety", so it is not a waste.

Xia Yulan is an expert in MS driving. Although her physical fitness is not as good as her sister's, her MS driving evaluation is an ace, second only to An Qi, and the second ace of the Xinggong Colony Satellite. Moreover, her combat value is abnormally high, close to 500, and her awakening value is not low.

As for Xia Yufang, it's not that she is completely incapable of MS, but her proficiency is only proficient. The average value of the driver template is around 200, but her MA operation evaluation is elite.

Moreover, Xia Yufang is the only ruthless person in the Xinggong colony satellite who can rely on his skills to fight Angel in close combat for hundreds of moves (During the three days, Red needs to rest, but Angel does not, she can function normally), and his skills in assassination, reconnaissance, infiltration, etc. are very high.

When Red was being exploited, Letty tested it out by having her sneak directly into the factory from the port and reach a designated location where the natives would search for her with all their might.

Then she did it in half a day, sneaking into the factory where only the natives were, and arrived at the designated location quietly. She helped Red find several loopholes in the patrol.

Because of their almost full loyalty, these two sisters are Red's personal guards. Of course, Red didn't dare to be too close to them, because his kidneys hadn't recovered yet. After leaving Anqi, Noin also came over and asked Red to go to her house tonight after the test. . . . .

Red has given up. For the sake of his future happiness, he can't be a coward now. He has to squeeze his body to find a way out. At worst, he can just take more supplements later.

However, during the test, the immigration staff who were deliberately arranged did not actually suspect that Red had been messing around these days, because they all thought that Red had been working too hard on his body these days and that was why it was in this state.

At this time, in the meteorite belt, the Immortal Aegis, in MA form, under Angel's control, shuttled through the large and small rubble at an counter-intuitive high speed, hunting down the green heretic.

But Xia Yulan had already gotten used to operating the MS in the past three days. The complex terrain of the meteorite belt was just right for her to perform, and this was a simulated battle, so there was no need to worry about breaking through defenses. A harmless laser hit was a victory, and both sides were sure to kill with one strike.

So this game of hide-and-seek in the gravel belt was extremely exciting. One player relied on the terrain to continuously resist the opponent's attacks and counterattack at the right time; the other player relied on his anti-human mobility and ultra-long attack distance to continuously compress the opponent's movable space.

In the end, Angel still won, because the effective range of the beam sniper rifle in her hand far exceeded that of the Green Heretic. However, Xia Yulan was able to win like this with her completely inferior machine, which can be said to be an honorable defeat.

Then, it was a live-fire test. Red deliberately asked Angel to use the maximum power to scare those eyes watching secretly, and use high-energy plasma and high-concentration fantasy particles to compress into rays of the caliber of ordinary beam rifles to achieve ultra-long-distance range and fuse capability. Angel shot through a large meteorite with a diameter of more than 100 meters at a distance of more than 50 kilometers (the range will be reduced by about one-third under normal conditions on Earth, and it is not far. UC's beam sniper rifles that shoot from the outer atmosphere to the surface have appeared several times, and this is still an environment on Earth where the beam will be greatly dissipated).

The range of this weapon is much longer than that of a battleship's large beam cannon. It can kill anyone on the battleship's bridge with one shot, without exception.

Red was quite satisfied with the Immortal Aegis's test performance, at least he didn't see any problems with the system. However, the machine still needed to be modified later, but the main armament and propulsion distribution would not be changed.

First of all, the test of the λ drive must be carried out as soon as possible. After dealing with Noin tonight, I have to really go into seclusion for the sake of my own kidneys.

After all, Lambda Drive Red must understand its effects in the universe and its effects on numerous particles before it can be installed on the body.

In addition, Red planned to find something for Kid Salsamile to do, and gave him the code document of Full Metal Panic's intelligent AI to learn from scratch, hoping that he could develop an intelligent auxiliary program for MS, and lay the foundation for his own unmanned MS system and biosensor system in the future.

So, the day after the test, Red came out of Noin's house and went into seclusion again, pushing numerous meeting requests to Letty, and at the same time, he transferred Xia Yufang to guard the gate. Xia Yulan cooperated with him to test the lambda drive. Except for going to Noin or Anqi's house at night, she stayed in the factory every day to study.

After a week of actual testing, Red has almost mastered the effect of the lambda drive in the CE universe.

First of all, the lambda drive is not invincible, nor is it as idealistic as imagined.

There is a counterintuitive fact that the lambda drive given by the system clearly states that the system's maximum increase and defense strength are determined by the output of the machine.

Taking the output of the green heretic as the standard, the mental barrier strength test it formed showed that Xia Yulan could only block live ammunition, anti-ship missiles, and 90mm railguns (in the fourth season, the Hell Trooper smoked directly when he used his battle axe, proving that ordinary lambda drive does have an upper limit), and it would not work if it was higher. Moreover, it could not block multiple rounds in a row, and forcing it to start would cause mental oppression, causing nosebleeds in the mildest cases and mental damage in the worst cases.

Then the Lambda drive's defense against light beams was higher than he had imagined. Although he didn't know how it used its spirit to form a physical shield in a vacuum environment, the 57mm high-energy beam rifle of the Air Combat Assault could directly block it, and the consumption didn't seem to be too great. However, blocking a beam weapon would directly render the shield ineffective and it had to be reopened.

Of course, don't even think about blocking beam weapons like the heavy particle beam cannon and the ultra-high pulse cannon with the naked lambda drive, as the high-energy particles will directly melt the shield, and the people behind will be dead.

However, after testing, Red discovered that using the lambda drive to form a shield is actually the dumbest use of this system. The best use of this system is to use it in conjunction with various weapons and particles.

The simplest example is that an ordinary anti-beam coated shield will be scrapped after blocking two or three rounds from a heavy particle beam cannon. However, as long as a lambda drive shield that can block machine gun bullets is covered on the shield, most of the initial heat energy of the beam will be dissipated by the lambda drive, resulting in a shooting effect that is not much better than that of an ordinary beam rifle. In this way, as long as the shield is not firing continuously, the shield can completely block more than a dozen heavy particle beams.

The same is true for fighting against physical weapons. After the Green Heretic is equipped with PS armor, the armor can absorb physical damage but cannot absorb vibration shock waves. The lambda drive can be completely released around the cockpit, perfectly offsetting the damage of the shock wave to the driver.

After all, a physical weapon that can produce shock waves that even the Lambda Drive cannot absorb is likely to be blocked by the MS-level PS armor. For example, if you let the Assault rely on its body to block the Archangel's 110cm electromagnetic cannon, it will only end up being penetrated.

In short, the best way to use the λ drive in defense is to use it as a fixed damage reduction shield, rather than blindly pursuing absolute defense. After testing, even with Red's mental power, activating the λ drive to drive the Green Heretic is no more resistant to damage than Xia Yulan, but driving the NT-X with higher output can offset more damage, but it is far from invincible absolute defense. If you insist on calculating the defense strength, the physical interference strength depends on both the driver's mental strength and the output power of the body itself. The output of the body equipped with the λ drive determines the upper and lower limits of the physical interference strength, and the driver's mental strength determines the value of the strength between the upper and lower limits.

However, the defense is a fixed shield, and in terms of attack and support, the lambda drive has a lot more to play with.

The most important thing Reid discovered is that the lambda drive can physically interfere with fantasy particles and Minovsky particles.

For example, whether it is fantasy particles or Minovsky particles, after being ejected from the body, the ability and distance to shape them are extremely limited.

But with the help of lambda drive, Red can even gather the two kinds of particles into a particle fist to hit people.

Of course, the higher the particle energy, the more difficult it is to control precisely, but Reid has tested that Thunder's Mirage System can completely restrain the fantasy particle colloid and prevent it from falling off during movement.

Even more, the lambda drive can form a low-defense but extremely long-lasting physical interference layer on the surface of the body, completely wrapping the fantasy particle colloid one millimeter on the surface of the body. This does not even affect the activation of the PS armor, and the heat dissipation problem is greatly alleviated.

There was only a problem with the engine jet, the temperature was too high, it would dissolve the colloid directly, and the jet flame could not be hidden. So when the mirage system was activated, even with the lambda drive, it was impossible to move at high speed.

In addition, the Forbidden Gundam's Eagle-induced plasma cannon was not only completed but also evolved with the help of the Lambda Drive.

Imagine firing a shot straight ahead. Driven by the λ-driven fantasy particles, the beam can directly make various arcs and turns with the machine as the center and a maximum radius of 20 meters, such as turning 180 degrees to attack the machine behind. How weird is this?

It can even continuously output light beams like the Stargazer, forming a beam ring with a radius of 20 meters around the body for close combat.

In other words, for a pilot who is proficient in using the lambda drive, his beam weapon can be considered to have no blind spots. Although using fantasy particles to distort the beam will seriously affect the range, in a close-range shooting battle of several hundred meters, the range problem can basically be ignored.

At the same time, after binding the fantasy particles, you can also use the overloaded beam sword in close combat, using the fantasy particles to bind to form a beam sword more than ten meters long to attack. Even two beam swords with lambda drive assistance can be mutually blocked.

However, particles can be used in many ways. The amplification of physical weapons by λ drive is limited to three aspects: reducing recoil, increasing the initial velocity of bullets, or wrapping shells to increase penetration.

Of course, Red also learned the ball-rolling technique that was difficult to defend against in close combat. After all, this technique only required a high concentration of mental strength on the hands, so it was not difficult to learn. I don't know why Sosuke Sagara couldn't learn this technique even in the finale.

And Red went a step further, saying that the lambda drive is actually far more lethal to enemy machine pilots than imagined, and when a machine comes into direct contact with a machine that has no special particles or lambda drive protection, it can use the vibration to attack the pilot.

Even though the machine's own shock-absorbing and transmission mechanism would significantly reduce the damage, the human body is not as strong as machinery, so unless it's an Iron Man like Heero (the protagonist of Gundam W) who cannot be killed even by a close-range machine's self-detonation, being seriously injured and falling into a coma won't be a big problem.

There were also unexpected gains during the test. During the continuous testing of the λ drive, Red discovered that his and Xia Yulan's awakening values ​​were increasing rapidly.

You have to know that the awakening value will not increase for ten days or half a month unless you awaken a new human being.

A typical example is Angel. Her awakening value remains the same as when she was summoned. Even her strongest shooting and fighting skills have increased a little after several battles, but her awakening value has remained unchanged.

I just don't know if the training of λ drive will be effective for people like Noin who don't have awakening value on their own panel. And there is still a threshold to start this thing, and Noin, who is more emotionally stable, may not be able to start it smoothly.

But a week after Red discovered a fun toy and continued to explore the practical uses of the lambda drive, one day, Xia Yufang suddenly came in to report

"Master, I just caught a spy who was gathering intelligence near the colony satellite factory while I was on patrol. Please tell me how to deal with him."

When Red heard this, he became interested in this spy. He was able to find Yufang's patrol area before being caught. He was quite capable. You know, the security outside has been strengthened a lot, and they are all indigenous people.

Of course, it was Red's order that Xia Yufang did not directly kill the spies who dared to approach. The spies who could get into the factory were basically personnel from several major countries. Red was not going to kill these people as long as they didn't steal or see things they shouldn't see. It would be better to use them in exchange for some benefits. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between Red and the four major countries in the earth circle.

After all, Red couldn't let the four major countries feel that they were completely out of control, so he gave some face to the spies who didn't get the information.

Of course, there were a few people who were more extreme and intended to kill or kidnap, so Red killed them after he caught them. However, he did not charge them with espionage, but quickly executed them for criminal offenses.

Therefore, spies from all countries have learned their lesson. In the Star Palace, it is okay to sneak in, or even stun a few guards, but don't kill people or make them disabled. Otherwise, just pray that you don't get caught. Red Isaac is not a sick cat. If you dare to cross the rules he set, you must be prepared to die.

So Red prepared to go and see this spy. It happened that he was having a headache over the conduction problem of the λ drive's actual body. The size of the MS was several times larger than that of the AS, so the size and conduction of the λ drive's equipment had to be redesigned. The factory module could only provide data assistance in this regard, and Red had to mainly experiment on his own.

In addition, we also have to consider the possible large-scale MA equipped with lambda drive in the future. Now Red is completely overwhelmed. He is seriously considering whether to go out to transport goods and collect 100 merit points to select a researcher.

It just so happens that, counting the days, the Artemis Fortress should be towed back to the vicinity of the Star Palace colony satellite, and it’s time for me to go out and meet some people.
