Chapter 601: Build It Yourself!

With the complete destruction of the Birdhead Galaxy, hundreds of millions of cosmic monsters also turned into dust in the universe. This also made everyone feel relieved. At least the threat to humans disappeared. However, Duanmu Huai knew that this was just the beginning. In fact, the cosmic monsters gathered in the Birdhead Galaxy were just the vanguard. They defeated the vanguard, and the main force would definitely continue to come.

But this will take some time, so let's talk about it later.

The Exelion planned to report back to Earth after this, but the Gambasta stayed. After all, Captain Tashiro also knew that if the Gambasta returned to Earth, it would inevitably be involved in the battle between the Earth Federation and PLANT, so he left the Gambasta to guard the fleet, but made adjustments to the pilot.

Amano Kazumi seemed to have a loved one on Earth, so she went back to Earth with Captain Tashiro, and the one who replaced her to operate the Gambasta No. 2 was a proud red-haired beautiful girl.

Jung Freud.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, looking at this name, it would be outrageous if she didn't fight with herself.

As for Duanmu Huai, he decided to temporarily move with the fleet. After all, although the threat of space monsters has been eliminated, the threat of Vajra is still there. The president of the fleet also expressed his warm welcome to this. He had read the battle report of the performance of the Inquisition Fleet in the previous battle of the Birdhead Galaxy. It would be much more reassuring to have such a powerful force with him.

So after he was free, Duanmu Huai found Maria and started the next plan.

That is... to build a mecha by himself!

As mentioned before, Duanmu Huai is best at charging and pioneering. On the contrary, he doesn't like to sit in the back and command, but he didn't have a choice before. But now it's different. Ai Kote is very good at fleet combat command, and Duanmu Huai can let go and plan to return to his old business.

"Do you mean a transformable one like the VF fighter?"

Holding the notebook and listening to Duanmu Huai's request, Maria was numb.

"Of course, transformation is the romance of men. If you don't transform, you'll lose half the excitement!"

Although the battle is not over yet, Duanmu Huai still can't get the Reduction Furnace and VF fighter, but it doesn't matter. The Inquisition has the technology and the information. At most, he can build it first, and then upgrade it after the Reduction Furnace is obtained.

What kind of protagonist machine is it without a second-stage upgrade?

"By the way, the wings must be canards."

Canards are science fiction and romance, and transformable canards bring science fiction romance to the top.

Fighters, who doesn't like it! The more sci-fi, cool and handsome the appearance, the better!

"Also, make the body harder, I plan to use it for boarding."

After all, boarding battles are the tradition of the Imperial Navy Fleet, and Duanmu Huai doesn't want to fall behind. Just imagine driving a fighter directly into the opponent's warship for boarding, how cool would that be?

"What about the auxiliary shooting and aiming?"

"Ojis will help."

Duanmu Huai patted his little cotton-padded jacket on the head. He also planned to make a two-seat heavy fighter. He would be responsible for the control and Ojis would be responsible for the assistance. Unlike Duanmu Huai, Ojis was very good at this. Although it was not obvious at ordinary times, Ojis was the kind of person who could shoot ten rings with a pistol and pass through the same muzzle, but Ojis didn't need it at ordinary times.

"So don't forget to add a floating gun or a drone or something, and let Ojis control it."

"What about turning into a humanoid mecha..."

"Oh, that's up to you."

Duanmu Huai's enthusiasm for humanoid mechas was less than one-third of that for fighters. Basically, it could be said that Maria could do it at will. Or if nothing unexpected happened, he would basically not need to transform into a humanoid mecha... probably.

In fact, Duanmu Huai didn't understand why the VF fighter had to transform into a humanoid robot...

The fighter was so handsome, wouldn't it be so handsome if it was painted with a GLAM or BLAZE name?

To be honest, the appearance of the Empire's fighters is really not good. They are square and look uninteresting to Duanmu Huai. Even the Night Crow Black Star is equally ugly... The appearance is not gorgeous at all, let alone science fiction. Instead, it looks like it came out of a mine.

Let alone the function, Duanmu Huai dislikes the appearance of the Empire's fighters the most. The front of all fighters is square, used to install the muzzle. Although it is not bad, Duanmu Huai still thinks the streamlined bullet type is the most handsome!

On the contrary, the square head looks like it was welded out of a mine...

As a qualified party A, Duanmu Huai went back with satisfaction after making the request, leaving Maria scratching her hair at the notes and blueprints. Although she did not dislike this kind of challenge, but... there were too many requirements!!

Unfortunately, this was an order from her superiors, and Maria had to listen to it. So - after spending several sleepless nights and losing a lot of hair, Maria finally completed the fighter he needed according to Duanmu Huai's requirements.

"Already completed?"

It must be said that when Duanmu Huai heard the news, he was also shocked. He did not expect Maria to act so quickly. Before, he saw that she was so distressed and thought that his request was out of line. Now it seems that Maria's potential is more than that. Hmm... maybe she should be given more responsibilities?

"Yes, Judge."

Maria certainly didn't know what tragic experience she would suffer next. Although Duanmu Huai's requirements were quite high, fortunately, each requirement was quite clear. At least he didn't give her a sentence "as long as it looks cool and dazzling enough"... If that were the case, Maria would really have to find a place in the courtroom to crash into death.

"Take me to see!"

Duanmu Huai still recognized Maria's skills. A ruthless person who could rub a tank with his hands under the civilization of the Middle Ages would be outstanding no matter where he was placed.

In fact, Maria did live up to Duanmu Huai's expectations.

"Oh, this is so cool!"

Standing in the hangar, looking at the fighter plane in front of him with a metallic luster, Duanmu Huai was also very satisfied.

Under the light, it was a metal fighter plane that looked full of science fiction. It was black all over, and its appearance looked similar to that of an ordinary fighter plane, with a bullet-shaped nose, a streamlined body, and canards full of science fiction. Duanmu Huai was even more excited when he thought that this fighter plane belonged to him.

Although he wanted to take a ride right now, Duanmu Huai still listened to Maria's explanation patiently.

According to Maria's explanation, this fighter is larger than ordinary fighters. It is 20 meters long and has a wingspan of 23 meters. It is larger than ordinary fighters, but there is no way. After all, Duanmu Huai can't fit into an ordinary cockpit with his size, and it is even more so if he has to place some equipment.

Maria did not make a panoramic cabin with a glass cover, but directly made it a closed one. Through the camera to receive information from all around and reflect it to the inside of the cabin, Duanmu Huai can fully grasp the battlefield situation in 360 degrees.

In addition, the entire fighter is powered by an antimatter reactor, and Maria also uses black technology from other worlds—including the Tantalus drive from the Star Alliance, which can generate a special mass force field to shield the heat reaction, making it impossible for the enemy to lock and attack the fighter through heat energy.

The main guns of the fighter planes come from the demon world, and they have become the standard equipment of the Inquisition, two BFG9000 plasma turrets.

As for missiles, a combination of hunter armor-piercing shells and storm strike missiles was chosen.

In fact, Maria originally proposed to use vortex missiles, but was rejected by Duanmu Huai. In fact, all vortex weapons have been completely sealed by Duanmu Huai. The reason is also very simple. Vortex weapons can tear the space-time structure of the physical universe, create a big hole, and suck everything it touches into the subspace. In the imperial period, this was considered to be a matter of life and death, but it is different now. Duanmu Huai is unwilling to use it and cause irreversible effects on the subspace... That would be troublesome.

It is precisely because of this that missile weapons are only auxiliary to Duanmu Huai. After all, without a retreat furnace, he can't make unlimited reactive warheads like Gangbasta. So Duanmu Huai simply installed a few missiles and treated them as such a thing.

The missile-like things hanging on the left and right sides under the wings are actually just simple floating guns. This is the data obtained by Lumiel after hacking into those MS bodies after listening to An's request. According to Duanmu Huai's request, Maria also added floating guns. Three on each side, a total of six floating guns are controlled by Ogis, who is responsible for assistance.

"Not bad, not bad, this is really good."

Looking up and down at the entire fighter, Duanmu Huai was also very excited, as if he had just received a new car.

Sure enough, the fighter is the romance of men, the best spokesperson for speed and passion, which is much better than a simple humanoid mecha.

Moreover, this fighter can enter and exit the atmosphere at will, which will make it much more convenient for me to go to other planets in the future.

"Hey? Mr. Knight, do you think this mecha is beautiful?"

Out of curiosity, An also came to see it. Looking at the mecha in front of him, the girl said that she really couldn't understand this strange design.

"How can this weird triangle-shaped thing be good-looking?"

"What do you know? This is a man's romance."

Hearing An's question, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. He is not An. A mecha is made like a work of art. The symbol of the modern science and technology industrial system is efficiency, simplicity, fluency, and science fiction!

Future style is the best!

What's the point of carving and engraving like you?

What is the beauty of integration!

"But you still have to color it, Mr. Knight."

"Of course, not only color it, but also apply the map."

Flying a plane without a paint job is half the fun!

"Then I think it doesn't matter whether it is beautiful or not..."
