Chapter 1934 Amuro: Did the F91 Gundam have a test pilot?
The task of inviting Leslie Arno, an authority in the field of metallurgy, to join the team was completed very smoothly.
Professor Arno, who resigned in anger due to differences in personal and military ideologies and was willing to live in anonymity as a construction worker building colonies, ultimately chose to step forward again.
For no other reason than to bring to fruition the antimatter engine that He Ming had mentioned, which had only existed in theory and legend all along.
Although the core blueprints had not yet been fully revealed to him, Professor Arno, who had been away from the scientific research field for a long time, could immediately recognize the extraordinary nature of the many blueprints that He Ming showed him.
"It seems that the G-Element Fusion Engine is my stepping stone!"
Having composed himself and sorted out his past thoughts, Leslie Arno, who had resumed his professorship in the field of metallurgy, immediately threw himself into his work after making arrangements for the Sibock siblings.
He was so busy that he forgot about his wife accepting He Ming's invitation to return from Border One. As a result, the family, who should have been reunited and having a proper dinner, ended up with only the Sibook siblings and their mother, who had been away from home for a long time, looking at each other awkwardly.
However, precisely because he wasn't there, the mother and her two children gradually opened up to each other, which can be considered an unexpected but positive outcome!
"A researcher of biological computers?"
Amuro, who was preparing the ZETA Gundam Unit 1, thought for a moment after seeing the list handed to him by He Ming, and then said.
"I remember the original design of the ZETA Gundam was to be equipped with a biological computer, right?"
"That's about right."
He Ming handed another document to Amuro.
Although the Banshee Gundam and the Zeta Gundam Unit 1 both use psychoframe technology, just as a G-Element Fusion Engine needs to be left as a backup, He Ming also needs to explore another technological route.
Coincidentally, one of Sibook's parents was an authority in the field of metallurgy, and the other was a top talent in biocomputers.
Such a golden opportunity was one that He Ming was naturally unwilling to let slip by.
"We need to test it in person to confirm. Do you have a real machine?"
Amuro opened the documents and asked questions as he read them.
"A real machine? Yes, there is. However, the machine doesn't seem to be finished yet. It can't be started for the time being."
What He Ming was referring to was naturally the F91 Gundam.
According to the original timeline, the F91 Gundam only had the opportunity to be activated after the space capsule carrying the Seabook siblings accidentally encountered the Space Ark.
Now that Frontier 4 was not captured by Death Vanguard and the Seabook siblings were not forced to flee due to the war, they ended up sleeping in the open on Frontier 1 satellite, so they naturally would not encounter the F91 Gundam.
As a result, after He Ming transferred Monica Arno, who was stationed at Border One and had not fled with those Federation officials, in the name of General Reibill, Border One seemed to be quite sensible and also sent over the F91 Gundam.
"An unfinished testing machine?"
This seemed to pique Amuro's interest as well.
The installation of the G-Element Fusion Engine for the ZETA Gundam Unit 1 will take some time.
Although Amuro was also helping, since everyone was completely clueless about the G-Element Fusion Engine, having another person might not lighten the burden, and could even make things worse.
Therefore, upon learning that the F91 Gundam was not yet completed, Amuro turned his attention to Heming.
"What? Captain Amuro wants to experience a Gundam from the future?"
"Gundam? That mobile suit is also a Gundam?"
Hearing the laughter in He Ming's words, Amuro became serious instead.
"Yes, that's right. But it seems they haven't named that Gundam yet. If we follow our custom, we'll probably call it the F91 Gundam."
"F91?! A Gundam named after its codename?" Amuro thought for a moment after hearing the name, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Is it really a name like this? I'm really curious about it!"
He immediately looked up and asked again.
"Colonel, has that... uh, F91 Gundam been delivered?"
Just as He Ming was about to speak, something seemed to touch his mind, causing him to turn around and look at the gate of the hangar.
"Look, we were just talking about the F91 Gundam! And here it is!"
As the transport vehicle slowly drove along the road marked out from the port, delivering the F91 Gundam into the hangar of the Judgment, Amuro's expression gradually became more interesting.
expect?
anxious?
Or are you just impatient?
Especially when he saw the paint scheme on the F91 Gundam that was somewhat similar to that of the original Gundam, Amuro couldn't help but push off with his feet, and his whole body floated into the air, looking down at the F91 Gundam lying on the transport vehicle.
"Wow, it's so small! Just like Huso's V Gundam. Are all future Gundams going down the path of miniaturization?"
Amuro's gaze lingered on the F91 Gundam, carefully observing every detail.
"How about it? F91 Gundam."
He Ming floated lightly to Amuro's side and looked at Amuro with great interest.
"Judging from its appearance, it is similar to Huso's V Gundam, both being miniaturized mobile suits. However, we will probably need to get into the cockpit and operate it to find out its true performance."
Amuro rested his right hand on the wall, his legs slightly tucked in, seemingly waiting for the vehicle carrying the F91 Gundam to come to a complete stop so he could immediately fly onto it and investigate.
"Unfortunately! The F91 Gundam is not yet operational. It will be ready for repairs once Ms. Monica Arno arrives."
He Ming's words made Amuro tremble.
The next second, he turned around and looked at He Ming.
"Colonel Ming, why didn't you explain yourself clearly just now?"
"Hehe. Didn't I just say that the F91 Gundam is an unfinished prototype? I'm afraid you won't be able to experience it for a while."
Upon hearing this, Amuro realized that He Ming had indeed mentioned earlier that the F91 Gundam was an unfinished experimental machine.
Thinking of this, Amuro shook his head in distress.
Then, he immediately asked.
"Colonel, does the F91 Gundam have a test pilot?"
"There might have been such a thing before, but given the current situation, it's clear that there isn't."
The entire timeline has completely deviated from the original spacetime.
At He Ming's invitation, Seabook's parents also decided to serve as punishment.
Therefore, Seabook, who has not faced a life-or-death crisis, will probably not board the F91 Gundam without external interference.
In contrast, Amuro's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that the F91 Gundam did not have a test pilot, and he quickly asked.
"Is that so? Then, before the ZETA Gundam completes its engine replacement, how about I assist with the testing of the F91 Gundam?"
