An Unscientific Mechanic

"When the protagonist group arrives, we seem to be able to advance the plot. The SMS ship equipped with VF-25...should have our identification code?" Ian put away the binoculars.

"Generally speaking, there are, but it seems that the ship has just been remodeled. It is still a question of whether the database has been updated.

And...Anaheim seems to have a business conflict with SMS, right? "Mao felt that this kind of life was quite nostalgic.

"Don't forget that my main identity should be on the side of the Consolidation Department. He still wants to give me SMS for the sake of the Consolidation Department, right? And... no matter what, Maya Island may become a battlefield in the future, and the residents will be transferred to It’s better on a battleship, although I don’t know the mapping relationship between this place and reality, but... I still don’t want to see civilian casualties.”

"It's up to you, anyway, you can convince my sister."

"Transfer all the residents of Maya Island to the battleship? Why?" Sarah Nome looked shocked.

"Because this place will soon become a battlefield, do you think it is safe to be in a huge steel battleship, or is it safe in this thatched hut by the beach?"

"How big is the battlefield?" The village chief came over with a serious face.

"Not sure, but for the time being, it is estimated that both sides will invest about two battalions of troops to carry out forced landing operations near here." Ian is not very familiar with the deployment of troops of the United Army and the Anti-Unification Alliance. But there should be two battalions of about ten "Octopus" combat mechas, plus the infantry units accompanying the landing.

"That's really a terrible thing..." The village chief frowned. "Is it for the ruins here?"

"I'm afraid so. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many troops to a place with a permanent population of less than 300 and all the old, weak, sick and disabled." Ian nodded.

"Let's go, then, and I'll convince Sarah. However, we lack the necessary means of transportation."

"Let's figure this out." Ian signaled the village chief to rest assured, and then looked at Sarah. "Then let's contact the ship above."

"Eh? How do we go up? We have nothing to fly up?" Sarah tilted her head in doubt.

"...Can't you fly?"

"...How do you know...you peeked at me taking a shower?!"

"...Knowing that you can fly has nothing to do with watching you take a bath!"

"I've only sneaked a few times in the shower!"

"Slap!" Ian slapped himself on the face. "Have you flown in the past few days?"

"That's not..."

"Isn't this the end, what do I think if you didn't fly?"

"Then how do you know?"

"Okay, sister, don't let me tell him...don't worry about such meaningless little things..." Mao also looked helpless.

"Mao! Forget it... I can't fly that high either, flying takes a lot of energy." Sara looked at the QUARTER-class battleship that had descended to a height of 8,000 meters.

"Can't fly..." Ian scratched his head. "I can carry you up, but it's not very decent... Let me see if the boat over there can come closer."

"The battleship to which the SMS belongs, can you hear it? This is Ian Vasti, the commander of the General Consolidation Department. The SMS ship, can you hear it?"

"Eh?"

"..."Eh" Did you hear it or didn't hear it..."

"Oh... oh... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... This is SMS, Aisha Blanche, who belongs to the "Ouroboros" branch of Huoxing.

Are you the one from Consolidation? But what about your fleet? "

"I was pulled over alone, separated from my unit. We need some help."

"Understood, you should have the identification code of the SMS agency, please open the IFF responder, let us verify your identity. Also... us?"

"Local residents, now that this neighborhood is about to become a battlefield for the Anti-Unity Alliance and the United Army, I hope there will be a place for residents to take refuge. IFF has been opened."

"I see, I have locked your position. This ship will land near the island, and I hope that the residents on the island can reach the vicinity of this ship by themselves. In addition... this ship is in the hangar because it is going back to the Eden star headquarters to change. There is only one unfinished prototype machine, so I’m afraid it won’t be able to provide much support.” After IFF’s identification, there was a burst of words like “Fuck, is it really the emperor...the commander?”

...By the way, who is that emperor? Ian seemed to have heard what ordinary people in other worlds thought of him.

"Understood, there is a fleet of the United Army nearby, you should consider asking for some escort planes from there."

"Understood... Wait, Asuka-II? A ship from the Unification War era? Arleigh Burke-class destroyer? Perry-class frigate? Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine?" The voice on the other side became noisy again...

"...It seems that the girls working in PMC are all iron-blooded roses..." According to the history of the Macross world, after the earth was bloodbathed by the Jetradi backbone fleet, this old buried in history Not many people know about Time Warship.

After multiple contacts, the United Army Asuka aircraft carrier dispatched a squadron of carrier-based aircraft to land on the port aviation component of the QUARTER class.

And the surviving one is Roy Foca's Skull Squadron.

With the assistance of Asuka's carrier-based helicopter, it didn't take long for all 281 residents on Maya Island to be transferred to the QUARTER-class residential area.

"...Is this what Zhenna said, the space battleship built by people in the future based on SDF-1?" After Fuka parked the machine in the hangar under the guidance of the ground staff, he looked eastward just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. Looking west.

"Well, it should be regarded as an excellent multi-functional main battleship in the battle order of the new unified army. However, it seems that because of the high cost, it has not been deployed on a large scale. In the end, only the elite troops like SMS pursue fewer but better The PMC will assign a QUARTER-class warship to each branch as the branch mother ship." Ian was studying the new YF-50 verification machine built by SMS in 2063 in the hangar. Because of the large number of contacts with VAJRA, the frontier fleet can be said to have inexhaustible FOLD crystals. After the successful verification of YF-29 equipped with FOLD crystal components and YF-30 with a large number of FOLD crystal technology , LAI and SMS are gone forever on the road of crystal machine.

For example, the cutting-edge YF-50, in terms of basic performance, is more than twice as strong as the YF-29 equipped with an additional backpack.

"PMC? Is the civil military society strong enough to equip main warships?" Fuka paused.

"There is no way... The new unified government was exhausted because of the second unified war and several defensive operations against the Jetradi's main fleet. Fighting qualities.

When the frontier fleet dispatched the reconnaissance planes of the New United Army to conduct channel reconnaissance, the New United Army was able to calculate a 20% battle loss rate.

At this time, the PMC with an elite squad has become the best choice for each fleet to perform various tasks.

Over time, PMCs with strong financial resources and strong relationships like SMS gradually expanded. Having said that, it is said that there are even more than one new BATTLE-class MACROSS in the headquarters of SMS... It is capable of fighting against the general super-large colonial fleet. "

"New BATTLE class?" Some of Fuka's names don't know what they mean.

"You can understand it as a purely combat SDF-1."

"Oh... By the way, things like SDF-1 will also be mass-produced in the future?"

"SDF-1...has been phased out a long time ago, and the current macross are all separated for combat and living. As for mass production...the latest hyper-BATTLE class is said to have started more than a thousand at a time. If it wasn't for the insufficient number of crew members, Can produce more."

"... so aggressive?"

"I can't help it...not only the new unified government, but our side is also frantically building ships. Who made the big fleet of the Jetra emperors come to attack the earth?"

"Grand fleet?"

"Ah, that's right, the Grand Fleet."

"How big is it?"

"Hundreds of millions."

"Oh...a fleet of hundreds of millions of people is indeed a large fleet, there must be tens of thousands of enemies..."

"I mean there are hundreds of millions of ships above the standard battleship type."

"...Fortunately, I died early." Roy Fuka took two sips of his wine. "So many enemies, what a fart."

Although I said so, judging from Fuka's yearning expression... this guy seems to want to go up and fight once.

"Wash the road with peace of mind, come here, you will definitely have a good time." Ian patted Fuka on the shoulder.

"...I really thank you."

"Ka..." The light inside the ship suddenly turned red, and at the same time, the battle alarm was remembered.

"Um?"

"The second combat configuration of the whole ship, urgently leave the water and launch into the air!"

"The carrier-based aircraft unit is ready to dispatch!"

"The whole ship is ready for combat against air and water!"

"Northwest direction, unknown aircraft 41 is approaching at high speed."

"In water, northwest direction, distance 31 nautical miles, high-speed propulsion sounds mostly! It's a torpedo!"

"QUARTER scrambles to take off!" Captain Aisha ran back to the bridge and sat down. "VLS launches rocket-boosted torpedo!"

"...Captain, we don't have rocket-assisted torpedoes."

"Then launch the anti-air missile, set it to the coordinate mode, and pay attention to the lead. Intercept those torpedoes for me."

The helmsman Malik pushed the rudder and the throttle valve, the output power of QUARTER's reactor increased rapidly, and the anti-gravity engine gradually lifted the hull out of the water.

"The hull is so heavy..."

"In the atmosphere, bear with me. Missile launch!"

Several VLS systems on the QUARTER fired heavy anti-aircraft missiles continuously. After the missiles lifted off, they quickly turned and hit the sea in front of the torpedo.

"Here is Skeleton-1, ready to dispatch."

"This is Sagittarius-1, ready to dispatch."

"Huh? Commander Vasti, please don't add to the chaos. This ship does not have extra carrier-based aircraft."

"I brought it with me, don't worry. I don't want to drive a temporary machine like VF-0 to the battlefield. The identification signal here is turned on, please register, don't shoot me down." Ian unfolded Jian Yu Thunder God. "It's VF-171 that's attacking from high altitude, that's not something like VF-0 can fight against.

Captain Foca, leave the high-altitude air defense circle to me, and you can focus on the escort of the hull. "

"Golden... Such a flamboyant mech." Fuka subconsciously blocked his eyes as he looked at the body that was so reflective that it seemed to be glowing.

"... I see, I will change the color. Bridge, activate the catapult." Ian's face darkened. If the eight-foot mirror armor was not really easy to use, Ian would have changed to the regular digital camouflage color.

"Understood, Master Vasti... No, Sagittarius 01, the catapult is activated, the electromagnetic induction is confirmed, and the timing of the ejection is given to Sagittarius 01."

"Omit the countdown, Jianyu Leishen, leave the ship." Jianyu Leishen was quickly accelerated to a speed of 500 kilometers per hour by the electromagnetically induced catapult, and then left the ship, and then Yi'an operated the body to quickly rush into the sky.

"What terrible maneuverability..." Fuka looked enviously at the back of Jianyu Leishen who tore the sound barrier and climbed vertically a second after leaving the ship.

"Captain Foca, when the transformation of VF-0 is completed tomorrow, your airframe will not be any worse." The voice of the CIC correspondent brought Foca back to his attention.

"Reform?"

"The mechanic of this ship has made an upgrade plan based on the design drawings of VF-0 and the spare parts of VF-25 stored on this ship."

"Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it here. Skeleton 01, leave the ship."

"I don't know how good these people are... But the information from the Macross world last time didn't say that although the anti-integration forces still exist, the main armed force should not be Jetradi's fighter jets or something. A small amount of VF-1 and VF-11? Why is there an anti-unification alliance force equipped with VF-171 in this place..." Ian was thinking about intelligence in his mind when he was approaching the target airspace.

Turning over to avoid the three quantum MDE beams, Ian accelerated further, and unfolded two beam rifles in his hands.

"Fire without warning? Young people don't talk about martial arts... There are still three VF-171EX equipped with AMORD PACK?" Ian put on his helmet and activated the Jianyu Thor combat module at full power. Now that I have lost contact with the enterprise account, if I hang up, I will really hang up.

Therefore, when you encounter an enemy plane that can break through your IS shield, you can't wave at all...

Ian passed by the three leading VF-171EXs, and shot two VF-171EXs with six shots from his backhand.

The VF-171 fleet behind them dispersed in a panic, releasing a sea of ​​missiles.

"You can't even dodge the first round of probing attacks. The Anti-Unity Alliance is at this level." After confirming that the opponent's level is slightly higher than that of the rookie, Ian... still made a fuss.

He put away the beam rifle and turned to carrying two beam sabers. Relying on the mobility provided by the air combat backpack, which is better than that of the VF-171, he rushed to the enemy aircraft group to tear the fighters by hand like a brat who went in to let go of the room. .

"Sagittarius 01 approached the enemy, and found the second wave of the enemy's attack team in the southwest direction, and went to the aircraft carrier battle group of the United Army Navy Asuka."

"Understood, warn friendly ships, this ship is going to the sky above the fleet for anti-aircraft fire support."

"Understood, this ship is going to support."

"Target identification, SV-51, 11 aircraft, VF-0, 1 aircraft."

"VF-0? Commander Vasti mentioned it. Spy personnel, the attack begins, and the air combat begins!"

"Understood, the battle of the whole ship has begun." The correspondent announced, and then muttered softly. "...It means that the anti-air firepower in the lower part of the hull is firing, why is it called anti-air combat..."

Captain Aisha was also attracted to this question for a moment.

"The high-speed approach response in the D9 area! It is a ship-borne high-speed anti-ship missile! The number is 24!"

"Evade! Attack! The bottom shield is the largest!" The girl captain's attention was instantly drawn back. "Why the hell do they have this new type of weapon..."

"There is an object floating on the surface of the sea! Appearance identification, it is a Northampton-class destroyer!"

"..." Ayesha frowned. The Northampton class covered SV-51 to attack the ship, and it was still a QUARTER and an Asuka class aircraft carrier. What kind of time travel drama is this. "Shoot them down!"
