Lin Ao came out of the ward on the Osiris with a depressed look on his face. He just went to visit Miao Haosi, but Bart scolded him severely for his previous disobedience and asked him to clean the toilet.
Lin Ao entered the toilet, took out a mop and bucket, and reluctantly started cleaning.
At this time, an announcement started on the ship, asking Lin Ao to go to the hangar. Lin Ao pretended not to hear and continued to clean the toilet.
The broadcast was repeated several times, but Lin Ao was holding his breath and pretended not to hear it until the toilet door was opened by Sergeant Anton. Anton seemed to have run several laps, panting and angry.
"Didn't you hear the radio calling you?! I ran for a long time looking for you!"
"Corporal Bart asked me to clean the toilet. I dare not go out until I finish cleaning."
Lin Ao's attitude was obviously dissatisfied with Bart asking him to clean the toilet. Now the Osiris is docked at the port of Istanbul. Although there is still a lot of repair work to be done, with the help of NEU, Captain Shepard allows everyone to take a break and can disembark and go to Istanbul to play, and he is currently cleaning toilets.
Anton was not as knowledgeable as him, so he grabbed Lin Ao and walked out without saying a word, nor did he say why.
"I can leave by myself! What happened?"
"Someone in Istanbul gave you a 'gift'."
"Gift? Wine again?"
"Have you become an alcoholic? This is the new equipment of Unit 2!"
What Anton said was true. As soon as the Osiris docked at the port of Istanbul, he received information from the local Mol Chamber of Commerce, saying that the chamber of commerce had a batch of equipment shipped from the universe to send to the Osiris. They were all equipment for Unit 2. . But the driver has to sign for it, so the broadcaster just asked Lin Ao.
The two rushed to the hangar, where technician Armstrong was helping the employees of the Moore Chamber of Commerce unload the new equipment for the No. 2 machine they had brought from the truck.
"That cameo...are you serious?!"
Anton was furious when he saw the new equipment sent by the Moore Chamber of Commerce. Growing up in the universe, he almost forgot that the Osiris was now on the earth, and habitually climbed over the guardrail on the second floor to jump down. If he did this, he could go to the ward to accompany Miao Haosi.
There were two pieces of equipment sent by the Moore Chamber of Commerce, both of which were huge: one was a long-handled battle ax as tall as Unit 2, and the other was a rectangular shield that could almost cover the entire body of Unit 2. What made Sergeant Anton angry was the three-headed eagle relief decoration on the shield.
Anton ran down angrily: "Explain to me why there is HER's three-headed eagle logo on that shield? Don't you know that we are hostile to HER?!"
A tall, thin man wearing glasses stood up: "I'm really sorry, because the No. 2 machine was originally going to be given to HER, so that's why it has their three-headed eagle logo."
"Knowing that this is the mark of HER, why didn't you remove it before sending it?"
"Because the construction schedule is so tight...these two pieces of equipment were transported from the universe as soon as they left the factory."
Anton was about to have a seizure, but his shoulders were held down by Captain Shepard who appeared behind him.
"Anton, don't get too excited. If the Moore Chamber of Commerce gives us these equipment, it is equivalent to supporting us in our fight against HER. It has no other meaning."
The bespectacled Chamber of Commerce representative said sheepishly: "But I still hope that people on your ship will not spread rumors that the Moore Chamber of Commerce has sent weapons to the Osiris, because we are still doing business with HER..."
"Hmph! You businessmen are just speculating."
Shepard signaled Anton to calm down, and he asked the representative of the Chamber of Commerce: "I have a doubt. These two pieces of equipment were made in the universe. Why did you spend so much effort to transport them from the universe to us? Really? Are you just funding the Osiris to fight against HER?"
"I don't know about this, but I know that the equipment for Unit 2 is still being produced."
"Are you so interested in the 'Ten Swords'? You still need to develop new equipment after sending them out."
"No, no, no, only Unit 2 is like this. Forgive me not to say too much, but I can tell you that the 'Ten Swords' are not produced in one batch. Units 8, 9, and 10 are not yet completed. 3 Units No. 2 to 7 were fully prepared when they left the factory. Only Unit 2, many of the weapons in the original plan have not yet been developed. Even the laser rifles and laser knives currently equipped on Unit 2 were originally responsible for testing the entire The No. 1 machine with the basic technology of the series was equipped with the No. 2 machine in order to meet the deadline.”
"Why is this? Is Unit 2 special?"
"No, in fact, among the entire 'Ten Swords' series, Unit 2 is the most common because it basically uses the technology of Unit 1. Starting from Unit 3, each unit has its own characteristics. But Unit 2 is difficult to The problem is that it has a large number of laser melee weapons. Although we have developed a laser saber, we are not yet proficient in mastering this technology, so it is very difficult for the laser to maintain a specific form."
"Speaking of which, we have encountered NEU's Unit 4 before. It was a transformable humanoid weapon, and it was different from Captain 2's. From what you're saying, almost every unit of the 'Ten Swords' has its own Features. To put it bluntly, humanoid weapons are weapons, why go to all this trouble?"
"Because this is the first time for the Chamber of Commerce to develop humanoid weapons, the people above hope that each of the 'Ten Swords' can test different technologies, and the No. 2 machine is responsible for the scalability test of laser melee weapons."
Shepard touched his beard: "In other words, your chamber of commerce will give the new machine body it developed to the major forces in the hope that they will test the new weapon technology for you in actual combat?"
"I don't know about that. I'm just a clerk in the R&D department. I came to Istanbul to deliver goods and visit my relatives. By the way, who is the driver of the No. 2 machine? Please sign for it."
Lin Ao stood up, and the Chamber of Commerce representative saw that he was the pilot of the No. 2 aircraft and called a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Deputy Director, the pilot of Unit 2 is here. Do you want to take a look?"
"Deputy director, are you the deputy director of your R&D department?" Anton asked.
"Yes, he is Dr. Phillips Hohenheim, the deputy director of our R&D department."
A somewhat decadent blond middle-aged man came over. He had been watching Unit 2 just now. He looked melancholy from the moment he got on the boat, as if he had something on his mind.
"Who is the pilot of Unit 2?"
"Deputy Director, this is the young man."
The representative of the Chamber of Commerce pointed at Lin Ao. Dr. Hohenheim walked up to Lin Ao, lowered his head and looked at Lin Ao's face carefully. His face was so close that he was almost touching Lin Ao.
"Um, what's wrong?" Lin Ao asked.
"...Why did Unit 2's shoulders end up like that?"
In the last duel with HER's Captain Caroline, a missile exploded and deformed the shoulder of the No. 2 aircraft, which has not been repaired yet. Lin Ao scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
"This...this...is a missile handle..."
Lin Ao originally thought that Dr. Hohenheim was angry with himself for destroying the body he developed, but Dr. Hohenheim didn't seem to care about the answer to this question and was still looking at Lin Ao. Lin Ao was furious at him.
"You're not a woman, right?"
"I am male…"
"How old are you this year?"
"18 years old, almost 19!"
"You are not over 20 years old. This is the case for the pilots from Unit 2 to Unit 7. People from all factions really did as they were told..."
Anton didn't know what Dr. Hohenheim was doing, so he couldn't help but ask: "What is the request you are talking about?"
"Nothing, it's just that the Chamber of Commerce requested to take over the power of the 'Ten Swords', and the selected driver must not be over 20 years old."
"why is that?"
Dr. Hohenheim shrugged: "I don't know. I'm also very confused about this rule. I thought the pilot of the stolen No. 2 machine would be an exception, so I came to take a look."
"Did you come to Earth specifically for this kind of thing..."
"Yes, thank you for not letting Unit 2 become the knife in HER's hand. Xiao Tang, it's time for us to leave after the things are delivered."
"Wait a minute, deputy director, I haven't introduced these pieces of equipment to everyone on the Osiris yet."
"Then you introduce me, I'll go back to the car and sleep first."
Dr. Hohenheim left, and the Chamber of Commerce representative coughed and began to introduce the two pieces of equipment given to the Osiris. He first pointed to the shield.
"This shield is called 'Iron Will', and it is a special shield for Unit 2. Considering the convenience of maintenance, this shield does not have any special technology. If there is any battle damage, your technicians will use ordinary methods to repair humanoid weapons and armor. Just the method will do.”
“What about the three-headed eagle relief above?”
"Sorry, we can't do anything about this. Please solve it on your own. We have to rush back to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to report."
Anton looked unhappy, but said nothing more.
"Then this battle axe."
The Chamber of Commerce representative pointed to the long-handled battle ax that was as tall as Unit 2.
"Its name is 'Sacrifice to the Blood Demon'. It is a laser battle axe. The head can activate the laser ax blade during battle, which can destroy the bridge of the battleship with one axe. The handle of the ax has a telescopic structure. When not in use, It can be stored behind Unit 2 or inside the shield just now. If necessary, the weapon can also be activated in the short-handled state."
"How does the laser ax blade do it?"
"Trade secrets."
"Hmm...but why do you name these two pieces of equipment? They are obviously just two accessories."
"These names are given by employees in the development department. They will choose names according to their own preferences, which can be regarded as a kind of adjustment during work."
"What do you think developing weapons is? A game?"
"What if? Just calling them letters and numbers makes it official?"
The representative of the Chamber of Commerce took out the document and asked Lin Ao to sign for it. Lin Ao pointed to a line on the document and said:
"What is this? Why does it say that I need to sign for the 'Vicious' set of equipment..."
The representative of the Chamber of Commerce scratched his head: "Oh, this is the name given by the person responsible for designing this set of equipment, because I didn't want to mention Tai Zhong Er..."
Lin Ao signed for the shield and battle ax of Unit 2. As for the names mentioned by the Chamber of Commerce representative just now, he didn't remember any of them.
When Anton saw that the signature was finally completed, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Where's the old man? Where has he gone? Let him lead someone to remove the three-headed eagle relief on the shield. The eagle does not need to have three heads!"
