Book 9: The Rebellious Apostle Chapter 009 Flying Mecha
After the design drawings of the eighth-generation mecha came out and it was confirmed that there were no problems or bugs, Emiya immediately gave an order and the factory started working at full capacity, and soon produced the first eighth-generation mecha.
Kasuga!
This mecha is named after Haruhi Suzumiya, and is naturally a special mecha for Haruhi Suzumiya. Since Haruhi Suzumiya will not drive this mecha to fight, the mecha is not designed with powerful weapons.
Instead, a lot of effort was put into flying, defense, and appearance.
Therefore, the appearance of this mecha is very cool, even cooler than the Red Lotus Holy Heaven Baji Style. It is even more powerful in terms of speed and can easily break the speed of sound.
Up to five times the speed of sound.
This speed crushes all the machines in the world today, including the Shenhu and Lancelot. No machine can catch up with the Kasuga.
More importantly, Kasuga used a very advanced energy shield defense. It is not easy for ordinary weapons to defeat the defense of this mecha.
When the Kasuga was produced, Suzumiya Haruhi could hardly wait to board the mecha, wanting to drive it herself.
As for whether a high school girl like Suzumiya Haruhi can drive a mecha, it is really not a question.
In fact, during the days when the Kasuga was being designed and produced, Haruhi Suzumiya, Shizuka Hiratsuka, Ves, Maitro, and even Loki were all learning how to fly mechas.
And their teacher is none other than CC.
CC has lived for so many years and has learned a lot of skills, driving mecha is one of them. In the plot, CC has driven mecha to fight the enemy more than once. Although he is not at the level of an ace pilot, he is far better than an ordinary pilot. It is not a problem to teach these five students.
The teaching tool they use is, of course, the Shenhu.
After all, the Steel Skull is too ugly, and several people don't want to use it as a teaching tool at all. Although the Divine Tiger looks okay, it is at least much stronger than the Steel Skull, and the girls are not opposed to driving the Divine Tiger.
So everyone used the Shenhu as a tool for cooperation and have been practicing driving skills for the past few days.
And Loki himself became a master on the first day.
The main reason was that she learned so quickly. She understood what CC said after just one explanation and didn't need to hear it a second time. So she finished learning the theoretical knowledge in the morning of the first day and started practicing in the afternoon.
It only took one afternoon for Loki to complete the transformation from unfamiliar to proficient, and then from proficient to ace.
The divine tiger was played with in all its glory in her hands.
Emiya had no doubt that Loki could fly the Divine Tiger all the way to the Britannian Empire and easily crush any pilot of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table of Britannia.
If the Twelve Knights of the Round Table want to stop Loki, they must repel at least three to five of them before they can stop Loki.
But if Loki used his divine power to strengthen his body, even if the Twelve Knights of the Round Table united, they would be pinned to the ground by Loki.
The gap between man and God is really too big.
Fortunately, Loki did not have such an idea. After all, doing so was too bullying.
The second one to go out was Maizo, and the third one was Weiss. Although the two girls did not learn as fast as Loki, they were not satisfied with their studies and quickly learned the theory. They were driving the Divine Tiger freely the next day.
Although he is not as skilled as Loki, he is much stronger than the average pilot.
This is mainly because of different physiques.
After all, whether it was Maizo or Weiss, their eyesight, brainpower, nerve reaction, and physical functions were superior to those of ordinary pilots, so after they learned how to fly mechas, they quickly surpassed this group of ordinary pilots.
The fourth person to become an apprentice was Shizuka Hiratsuka. Like Mai Zhuo and Weiss, her body functions far exceeded those of humans, so she learned much more efficiently and soon mastered the magic tiger.
And Suzumiya Haruhi was the last one to go out.
Moreover, the first mecha she piloted was not the Shenhu, but the Kasuga. This was because the Kasuga was built just as she finished learning the theoretical knowledge.
So it was natural for Haruhi Suzumiya to abandon the ugly Shenhu and choose the cooler Kasuga.
After entering the cockpit, Suzumiya Haruhi familiarized herself with the surrounding illusions according to the knowledge she had learned in the past few days, started the Kasuga, held the joystick with both hands, and began to control the Kasuga.
The five-meter-tall Kasuga, under the control of Suzumiya Haruhi, twisted and staggered as it moved.
Emiya couldn't help but cover his face when he saw this.
This driving skill is too poor, it's far inferior to that of others.
When Loki first drove the Shenhu, he was extremely steady and gradually became proficient, and finally completed a series of difficult moves.
Although Weiss, Maitra, and Shizuka Hiratsuka are not as good as Loki, they have not ended up like this.
It seems that even though she is a goddess and has the ability to change the world, Suzumiya Haruhi is still a female high school student, and her first driving skills are certainly not as good as those of other superhumans.
But she can cheat.
"Calm down, Haruhi." Emiya sent a voice to Haruhi Suzumiya's ears as she frantically controlled the mecha, "You are the goddess who can make wishes come true. As long as you take it for granted that you can set up the mecha, you will definitely be able to set up the mecha. Show your domineering aura!!"
Haruhi Suzumiya, who was a little nervous at first, was immediately inspired after hearing what Emiya said, "Who do you think I am? I am Haruhi Suzumiya!"
Then, Emiya saw that Suzumiya Haruhi's progress was as rapid as if she had taken off a rocket.
Half an hour later, Suzumiya Haruhi skillfully piloted the Kasuga into the sky, flying back and forth over the entire Luoyang.
On this day, countless people saw the traces of Kasuga, a flying mecha.
I don’t know how many people were shocked by this scene.
Many spies filmed this scene and sent it back to their own countries. Both Britannia and the EU were shocked.
This news even reached the ears of the Emperor of Britannia and Prime Minister Schneizel.
The flying mecha is the eighth generation mecha, which was developed one year after the plot of the first season. Only the twelve Knights of the Round Table and a small number of mechas are equipped with this flying mecha.
The most advanced Britannia at the moment is the seventh generation Lancelot, the one that can’t fly.
However, now, the Chinese Federation, which has always been backward, suddenly took out a flying mecha, which was like a royal bomb, blowing the people of Britannia and EU to pieces.
We are not idiots and we all know very well what advantages a flying mecha has. Its maneuverability alone is unmatched by ground-running mechas.
The former can almost beat the latter.
Once involved in the war, they will inevitably have an absolute advantage, so Britannia and the EU will certainly not turn a blind eye. Instead, they are in a state of high tension because of the appearance of flying mechas.
Britannia's Prime Minister Schneizel frequently held meetings to discuss countermeasures.
In the conference room, the mecha development staff member summoned by Schneizel wiped his sweat and said, "After our research, we currently have two methods to fight against flying mechas."
"The first method is to develop an anti-aircraft cannon specifically for flying mechas, specifically for hunting flying mechas."
Schneizel heard this and pointed to the video of the Kasuga flying. "You also saw the speed of this mecha. It can easily break the speed of sound. Are you sure the anti-aircraft gun can play a role?"
When the staff heard this, they couldn't stop sweating on their faces. The more they wiped, the more sweat they had on their faces. "Well... well, the flying mecha does have amazing flexibility and speed. The anti-aircraft gun may not be able to hit this mecha, but it should be able to curb its speed."
“Can you promise that?” Schneizel asked pointedly.
The staff member stammered and was speechless. He didn't dare to guarantee these.
Instead of reprimanding the developer, Schneizel asked, "What's the second method?"
The staff member immediately said: "The second method is to develop our own flying mecha and use flying to fight flying."
Schneizel thought the proposal was very reliable. However, as the chancellor of the empire, he was familiar with the development progress of mechas. "How long do you plan to take to develop a flying mecha? Half a year, a year, or two years?"
The staff member smiled bitterly and said, "We can't guarantee that either."
Schneizel was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I will increase investment in the mecha research department. From now on, your funding will be doubled, but I hope to see results within half a year."
If it were in the past, the staff would definitely be ecstatic, but now he felt an unprecedented pressure that almost crushed him.
"Your Highness Schneizel!"
"I don't want to hear any excuses or evasions, nor do I want to know the process. I don't care what method you use, I just want the result, and six months is the deadline."
Schneizel raised his hand, interrupting the other man's narration and shooing him out.
After the other party left in a panic, Schneizel's deputy slowly said, "Your Highness, half a year is a bit inhumane."
Schneizel rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "If the situation wasn't critical, I wouldn't want to do this. The Chinese Federation has been undergoing changes recently, and power has begun to be centralized. Coupled with the emergence of flying mechas, I suspect that the mysterious chancellor is planning to make a big move."
"If we do nothing, once the other side deploys flying mechas into the war, the situation of the war will inevitably change, and our Britannia Empire's international advantages will be wiped out."
"So, we must have our own flying mecha. Only in this way can Britannia stand firm in the next wave."
