Ming Shi’s workshop was quite large. Calling it a workshop was inaccurate; it was more like a factory.
Various lathes, cranes, and smelting furnaces were readily available.
Dozens of Bri were running around with tools, hammering and knocking.
After all, it was the repair ship of the port, and the usual experimental subjects were warships weighing thousands or tens of thousands of tons.
At the first glance, Lu Chen saw a row of Gundams standing against the wall.
They were arranged in order of height, from left to right, a total of nine.
The one on the far left was earth-yellow in color, looking a bit rudimentary, with a height of about seventeen or eighteen meters.
It was clearly a fodder unit in the Gundam world.
The ones to the right had a completely different style, with hard lines, complex equipment, clearly high-end goods.
"You built so many?!"
Lu Chen was surprised.
"Technology development must be done step by step, meow. You can't build a better Gundam without building a low-end model and understanding its technical principles."
Ming Shi took Lu Chen to see her creations.
"So I built most of the Gundams, from basic models to advanced versions, meow. As long as we can build them, you can drive whichever one you want."
"The one on the far left is the Zaku prototype, well, about 50 tons, equipped with a saber and two machine guns."
"Then there’s this Zaku II, which has better mobility and armor than the prototype, and the machine guns are also larger…."
"But they are mass-produced, you probably don't need them Commander…."
Upon closer inspection, the Gundams were huge, Lu Chen and Ming Shi couldn't even reach their knees.
To manufacture so many models within a month, besides the amazing work ethic of the Bri, Ming Shi must have also put in a lot of effort.
"Thank you."
Lu Chen rubbed Ming Shi’s head and then her furry ears.
"Wow! Commander! Listen to my introduction, meow!"
"Harassing your boss won't get you a discount!!"
Ming Shi's face flushed, and she shook her ears.
The two continued walking forward.
"From now on, it's the realm of hero Gundams!"
She pointed to a blue and white Gundam holding a giant hammer-spear.
"ASW-G-08, Barbatos."
"Well, according to the technical manual, it seems to be a Gundam piloted by someone named Mikazuki Augus?"
"This Gundam excels in close combat and has high mobility."
Lu Chen looked up at Barbatos, punching people with a hammer-spear was truly a violent aesthetic.
A full blow from this thing should be able to sink a warship.
It felt a little rough, though. After swallowing the Mind Cube, he wasn’t lacking in close combat ability, but he was short of ranged attacks.
"RX-0, Unicorn."
Next to Barbatos was a pure white Gundam.
It had a conspicuous unicorn horn on its head and was slightly larger than Barbatos.
"This mobile suit can activate Destroy Mode, meow!"
"After activating Destroy Mode, it can deploy a psychic field to resist ordinary ranged attacks, and it can also control floating cannons!"
"Well, the pilot's name is Banagher Links, right? …"
Ming Shi introduced with excitement.
"N-T-D huh... I'd actually love to drive a Unicorn…"
Lu Chen stroked his chin and examined the mobile suit.
"So it's settled?"
"Uh, I meant a different Unicorn, we can have a Unicorn driving a Unicorn, and then we're inside a Unicorn with a Unicorn…"
"?????"
Ming Shi was confused.
Then came another classic model.
White and blue body, eight armed wings unfolding behind it like angel wings, this mobile suit had a high degree of recognition.
"Freedom Gundam, piloted by Kira Yamato."
"Driven by a tritium nuclear engine, it's kinda like nuclear fusion, but not quite, technology in the Gundam world is weird…"
"The abdomen is equipped with the MGX-2235 "Blazing" Phalanx Beam Cannon. After experiments in the port area, its power can hit high-level Sirens."
"There's also a beam saber and a beam shield, well, I still don't understand why Gundams need to engage in close combat, but it's on the blueprint, so I still built it…."
Ming Shi muttered to herself as she introduced it to Lu Chen.
"Besides, there are also the Archangel Gundam and the Infinite Justice Gundam..."
"All the Gundams that can be built are here, except for those that are too complicated that I'm still researching…"
"Commander, which one do you want to drive, meow?"
Besides the three mass-produced models, Ming Shi had built six protagonist Gundams.
Both the performance and structure perfectly replicated the combat capabilities of the originals.
These Gundams had high requirements for the pilot’s physical fitness and psychic strength, but with the Mind Cube's bonus, it wasn't a problem.
"Can the Gundam's equipment be changed later?"
Lu Chen suddenly asked.
These Gundams, though classic, were just "other people's Gundams," and the various equipment were customized for their pilots.
He wanted a Gundam of his own.
"Of course, meow, the equipment of these Gundams can be disassembled and rearranged, meow. If necessary, you can even put a ship's cannon on it."
Ming Shi nodded.
"But in the beginning, I suggest the Commander gets familiar with the operation first before considering customizing it, meow."
"Alright, let's try this one first."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen chose the Freedom Gundam.
He climbed up the ladder and into the cockpit.
Click——
After settling in, a colorful holographic control interface appeared in front of him.
Although this was his first time driving, Lu Chen seemed to be able to master the movements of controlling the mobile suit quickly as if he knew it all along.
"Is it because I can be compatible with the power of other worlds? Not bad."
"Departure."
The dome above the naval base slowly opened.
Rumble——
The warships and Bri playing on the shore were surprised to see a Gundam glide through the air and then quickly ascend into the sky with a trail of flames.
The destroyers flying in the air were even more frightened.
"Commander! The Commander is flying in a Gundam!!"
"Commander, take me with you, I want to drive a Gundam too!!!"
