Chapter 410 Compilation
The next day, the ten Jiegang and a mass-produced ν Gundam arrived at the Agama.
In Lenas' villa, Alia personally handed her the list. She looked through it briefly and asked in confusion: "Why are there only one RX-94? What I want is obviously three."
Alia immediately said seriously: "Renas, RX-94 is a trial machine specially developed by Anaheim for the new human mass production machine program. Although Von Brown is responsible, it actually combines the manpower of Von Brown and Granada. The top stares closely, and even I can't do anything randomly. Giving you one is already the biggest concession, let alone you just have to act like it."
During the Charles Rebellion, the mass production model was just a trial production model derived by von Brown's Anaheim company based on the data of RX-93νGundam in private. There was no planned number and body number, and there was no sufficient financial subsidy. Because of this, in order to save costs, von Brown's technicians used RX-93νGundam components in large quantities. The consequence was that although the cost of the finished product was reduced compared to νGundam, it still could not reach the acceptable range of the federal army.
During the battle, the mass-produced ν Gundam was accidentally equipped with HI-ν Gundam generators and engines, which made its performance a leap forward. In addition, the pilot's "sacrifice of life" by Lieutenant Arias Fitia, which resulted in an outstanding record on the battlefield.
After the war, the Federal Army General Staff heads pointed out the performance of Rondebele and other troops in the "Chaya Rebellion" and concluded that "a strong MS is needed to deal with the terrorist attacks of the New Gene small troops." Due to Lingus' poor performance in actual combat and the super performance of the new human special aircraft on the battlefield, they naturally focused their attention on the mass-produced ν Gundam that even a newly enlisted second lieutenant can skillfully operate.
The Federal Army had this idea, and Anaheim immediately took it seriously. Therefore, the mass-produced ν Gundam was given the development number of "RX-94", and the von Brown company that originally created it naturally obtained the development rights. However, although the first trial aircraft had a brilliant record on the battlefield, it still needed to develop a mass-produced type that could truly meet the requirements of the Federal Army.
The first point of the Federal Army's requirement is cost, which is not difficult for Anaheim. The first trial machine after the RX-94 was launched, with the development purpose of reducing costs. The armor of the main body can be changed from a high-cost high-denim alloy to a low-cost titanium alloy, and only the high-denim alloy is retained in key areas. In order to prevent metal fatigue from high-performance, the engine power is reduced. Finally, the production ν Gundam with a performance slightly higher than that of Jiegang and is not much different from the new Gene's Kira Doga.
The first plan was quickly recognized by the Federal Army, and then the prototype was started. However, the technicians were not satisfied with the body, and Alia was also worried that the sample would be eliminated by the Federal Army during the testing phase, so she started the second plan.
The second plan is a compromise plan. The development idea is to ensure that the cost is within the acceptance range of the Federal Army and its performance is above the Kira Doga of New Gene. Under this idea, the technicians divided into two factions. One party regained the earliest design plan and only modified the Gundam alloy into titanium alloy. The other party is more radical, using titanium alloy armor with ν Gundam equipment, completely ignoring the ability of the body armor.
Both solutions can reduce costs to a certain extent, but they will also cause unpredictable consequences. Alia handed over the first trial machine in the second scheme, and the only three trial machines is the most neutral.
Lenas sighed disappointed and said helplessly: "Forget it, let it be! But..."
Yufeng suddenly turned around, and she smiled and said, "I always think RX-94 will become a failed MS."
"Why do you say that?" Alia frowned and felt angry.
The RX-94 was highly expected by her, and it was a great tool for her to enter the Federal Army market and defeat the Granada branch. Perhaps the final product of this MS will be inferior to that of the New Gene Chad Doga in terms of performance, but she was not considering the performance of the MS, but the market and orders. As long as she could get the Federal Army order, even if the performance was so miserable that it was comparable to that of the Jay Gang, it would be a victory.
Lenas smiled and explained: "The Federal Army is not all idiots, at least the people who formulated the RX-94 equipment plan. The performance of the three trial aircraft is really terrible, and none of them can compare to the one on the battlefield. Do you think the Federal Army will place an order for such things?"
Alia was suddenly stunned and speechless.
Lenas continued: "Your development concept is wrong. You should no longer design the original one, but should directly use the RX-93 as the blueprint. The RX-94 should be an improved version of ν Gundam, not a cost-reducing version."
"That's impossible." Alia laughed, "The Federal Army's budget would not allow such a high-cost MS array."
"Alia, maybe you are an excellent operator, but you don't understand the army at all." Lenas finished speaking seriously, and shook his head in a pretentious manner.
"What's the meaning?"
"No rush to explain this, I have something to ask you."
Lenas answered the question irrelevantly, which made Alia both anxious and annoyed. Now she couldn't stand it when she heard that she had to negotiate the conditions. Without waiting for her to speak, she raised her hand to stop her and said first: "If it was MS, I had done my best. Anaheim's resources are limited, and even Jiegang could not withdraw them at will."
Luna II suffered a lot in the Chara Rebellion, and Jay Kwon's production line was completely destroyed. Now it is a critical moment for the army to reorganize, and Renas can only use Jay Kwon to make up for the MS shortage of the lunar orbit fleet. Because of this, she had previously forced Alia for several Jay Kwon. However, Alia really reached its limit. The mass-produced MS of the Moon Orbit Fleet and the static orbit fleet were provided by Von Brown's Anaheim. Even if Anaheim's productivity is strong, it will be tight at this peak state.
Lena shook her head calmly and said, "I don't want MS."
"Don't MS?"
"yes."
"Then what do you want?" Alia was very confused.
Renas smiled, bit the root of the word, and said clearly: "A flagship worthy of me."
During the Charia Rebellion, due to the reduction in the size of the lunar orbit fleet, it was impossible to reflect the sense of scale of a fleet. Lena specially changed the Lakelam-class Joan of Arc. Mariana of Togoschia stayed in Luna II, and Chaia sank when she attacked Luna II.
"Hahahaha..." Alia laughed and said, "Anaheim is not a warship. We can't build Togoskiya."
"Of course I know that Anaheim cannot build a battleship." Lenas smiled slightly and continued, "I just want to ask you for some inquiries. The Federal Army seems to be too enthusiastic about the static orbit fleet. I always feel that there will be something amazing as a flagship without a flagship."
"Okay!" Alia agreed immediately. Such a thing was just a trivial matter. She had a meal with several shipbuilding tycoons and had a relationship. She would know whether there was anything.
Then, she carefully inquired: "Now, you can say it!"
"Of course." Lenas took a deep breath and said leisurely, "The Federal Army suddenly became interested in RX-94, which shows that they were paying no cost this time. Judging from previous examples, they wanted to build an elite team with RX-94 as the main body. Since that's the case, why bother with the cost?"
Alia suddenly realized that when she remembered the New Titans Rebellion between the Battle of Grips and the First New Gene Rebellion, she understood what Renas meant and knew how to do it. However, she was still a little confused about whether the Federal Army "will really think so."
PS: The ending of the Mariana is explained. The old ones don’t go, the new ones don’t come, there is no need to be sad.
The crusade is about to begin.
