Chapter 57: Upgrading to a Golden Machine

"All personnel in the third combat readiness state, all personnel in the third combat readiness state."

As the in-ship broadcast sounded, everyone on the Archangel also entered the working state at the first time.

At this time, it was almost a day since the battle plan was set, and it was only an hour away from the enemy position discovered by Mu.

Mu came to the hangar when the combat readiness notice sounded. He had even changed into combat uniforms and started to prepare for the attack. He sat in the cockpit and adjusted the body.

"Change the airborne missiles to underwater ones. Yes, yes, yes, that's right. I'm going to deal with the aircraft carrier hidden in the water. Of course, it would be best if all missiles can be released in an instant. If I miss, I can only run away. There is no need to change other missiles."

"Use the flying wing equipment. This time, the goal is to fight quickly. Of course, the faster the better. If there is a battle, I will come back to replace the artillery equipment."

Mu checked the body and replied loudly to the members of the maintenance team. This was the scene that Xiao Yun saw when he came to the hangar.

The two greeted each other, and Xiao Yun took VT and jumped into the cockpit of the golden machine. Once VT and the machine were connected, it started an automatic self-check, and Xiao Yun also began to communicate with the maintenance personnel.

Xiao Yun lay on the machine console and shouted to the people below: "Just use the full armed equipment, and also, take out the weapons of the Duel Gundam. That is an electromagnetic rail gun, right? There is no other way. I must load anti-aircraft missiles for air combat, but if I support the surface, I can only use live ammunition weapons."

"It has not been tested? You didn't say that the thing has not been tested! Can it be used? Okay, it can be used. The power can only be adjusted to a maximum of no more than 80%? Got it!"

"Add a few more base magazines, no place to hang? Come back to change? How can I come back to change when the fight starts? Think of a way, dismantle the loading port of the Vulcan gun, connect the magazines to make a belt and hang it directly! It's hanging, who cares whether it's hanging or not at this time? Just fix it under the shield! Weld! Welded! "

"Beam rifle? That thing is useless, the backpack has a beam rifle, I just need to bring two shields and a rocket launcher!"

"The anchor claw of the Thunder Gundam? What? The attack shield system is also completed? OK, OK, install it quickly!"

After loudly confirming the equipment to be used in the next attack, Xiao Yun communicated with the ground maintenance personnel and then retracted his body: "VT, how is the self-test."

"Self-test completed, everything is normal."

"Okay." Xiao Yun nodded and said: "Wait for the anchor claw and attack shield system to be installed before self-testing again."

"Okay, Xiao Yun."

Half an hour later, Mu drove the Sky Overlord to attack first, and the golden machine had just installed the attack shield system and anchor claws, and was coordinating and adjusting the self-test quickly from inside and outside the machine.

But then again, the Archangel's arsenal was like a garbage dump. It was full of useless stuff, but when evacuating from Heliopolis, they took all the stuff from other machines into the ship like packing. Now Xiao Yun got a bargain.

After dealing with it anxiously for more than ten minutes, Mu Chuan came back with the message that the operation was successful. The Strike Gundam also attacked with a sword suit, and after being ejected, it went straight into the sea.

After the Strike Gundam launched its attack, a belated notice was issued from the ship: "All personnel are on first combat readiness, all personnel are on first combat readiness!"

Cojero on the ground of the hangar shouted to the nearby maintenance team members: "Hurry up! First combat readiness is about to launch!"

"The missile link is docked."

"Right away, one minute... OK!"

"Attack, attack!"

Sitting in the cockpit, Xiao Yun watched the main system screen suddenly turn green, showing a prompt of successful docking, and quickly closed the cockpit door, put on the helmet and pressed the communication button: "Golden machine is ready."

"Golden machine starts the attack procedure."

As the hoisting mechanical arm moved, the golden machine was quickly moved to the ejection port, and then landed steadily on the catapult.

"Ejector connection, APU start, gold machine heavy armed backpack ready, Greedy Spear ready, energy normal, line cleared, equipment connected, Mr. Xiao, please attack."

"Gundam Heretic, Xiao Yun attack!"

As the voice fell, the golden machine with a new high degree of armament was quickly ejected from the exit with the ejection of the catapult. The golden machine that had just been ejected turned on all the thrusters in mid-air. The powerful thrust carried the body to a higher place, turned around and then fell to the middle of the Archangel.

The right hand is a black attack shield system, which is composed of a beam rifle + beam saber + penetrating needle missile. At the same time, the attack shield system itself also has a mirage system but does not have the function of PS armor. However, as a shield, it is not only coated with an anti-beam coating, but also extremely strong, so the PS armor is not very useful.

The left hand carries the huge Greedy Spear, a large electromagnetic railgun for MS originally prepared for the Duel Gundam. The arm is also hung with an anchor claw that can be used as a shield, which looks messy.

There are long ammunition chains on both sides of the shoulder shield, which are not welded to the shield but to the backpack.

The backpack, the main body, various weapons and shields are all the same color. Rather than a heavy firepower machine being prepared, it looks more like a hodgepodge assembled, with the standard style of a junk dealer.

Although it doesn't look so good, in fact, the golden machine has upgraded its guns to cannons. The extra ammunition is enough for the golden machine to maintain a stronger firepower suppression capability. The attack shield system can not only be used for defense but also for attack, not to mention the Greed Gun with powerful firepower, which enables the golden machine to attack underwater targets.

The head of the golden machine that stood firmly was slightly raised, and the screen of the cockpit also showed the picture of the Sky Overlord fleeing back in a panic. Behind it were six ZAFT Deans, MS with flying capabilities.

The sonar of the Archangel also detected the approach of six MSs. A total of twelve MSs appeared in the sky and underwater. This scale and number would be enough to carry out a small-scale local war in other places, but now they appeared together just to intercept and shoot down the Archangel battleship.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun also controlled the golden machine to slowly half-kneel down, raised the gun of greed and began to lock on the underwater reaction fed back by the sonar in real time.

As soon as Xiao Yun started to take action, VT also cooperated with all its strength to further calculate the attack angle.

"Kira, do you see the enemy?"

"The target has been confirmed, the number is six, 4 Gun, and 2 Zono."

"Send the picture to me in real time."

"VT, aim at the Zono in front."

"Line calculation completed, angle adjustment completed, lead time confirmed, target locked."

"Attack!"
