Chapter 47 Assault Freedom! First Flight Test!
The spherical shape is the standby state of the Shadow Sword drone. In addition, it can also transform into three other forms: sea, land, and air.
In its naval combat form, it resembles a swordfish; in its land combat form, it is a humanoid robot that can help Horn with chores in addition to fighting; and in its aerial combat form, it resembles a falcon that can catch any target it sets its sights on.
Furthermore, each form conforms to aerodynamics, but only the air combat form can reach a maximum speed of Mach 10, which is also the biggest feature of the air combat form.
"Tia, how many Shadow Sword drones have been produced?"
Horn stared at the first-generation test drone in standby mode and asked.
With the help of their Stark Industries' automated factory, he manufactured it in less than two days and immediately instructed Helen Zhao to begin mass production.
"Sir, according to statistics, three hundred units have been produced so far."
Tia's voice came from the speaker.
"Three hundred units —"
Horn was slightly taken aback, surprised by the factory's efficiency. In order not to affect Stark Industries' normal production, he only used one factory, but he did not expect that so many could be produced for him in such a short time.
He pondered for two seconds and then made a plan. "Tia, deploy one hundred units to protect Tony and Pepper, fifty to protect the manor, fifty to monitor Obadiah Stanislavsky, and leave one hundred on standby."
"Yes, sir."
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...
Tia agreed and immediately issued the corresponding instructions to each drone.
After finishing all that, Horn's attention turned to the humanoid armor standing next to the spherical drone.
Its weapon systems, defense systems, and energy systems all far surpass those of the Shadow Sword drone. Its left arm alone is equipped with two sets of hidden beam guns, a beam palm cannon, a hidden micro missile launcher, and a beam shield.
On the right arm, besides the weapons, there was a hidden beam sword, and on each shoulder of the armor, there was a hidden, retractable beam gun and a beam cannon.
In terms of defense, in addition to the stealth module and the beam shield on its left arm, it also has three layers of defensive shields covering its entire body.
In terms of power, in addition to the Super Dragoon's mobile armament wings, there are three main thrusters and nine micro auxiliary thrusters.
Finally, regarding energy, while semi-permanent power supply is not yet possible, full-power operation is sufficient for the time being. As for its maximum speed, weapon power, and defensive capabilities—
"Tia, conduct the final test to check if the armor functions properly."
Horn picked up the breakfast that Zhao Hailun had prepared from his desk, leaned back on the sofa to eat, and glanced at the scrolling data on his computer screen.
His gaze fell upon the holographic image of the Assault Freedom armor, and he gave the order.
"Yes, sir."
"Casing pressurization normal, sensor functions normal, air circulation system normal, weapon units normal, thruster units normal, Super Dragoon mobile armament wings normal, energy supply normal..."
As the screen data scrolled, various parts of the holographic image of the armor were gradually lit up.
Meanwhile, on the testing platform, a suit of armor, over two meters tall and nearly three meters high, with lines that were both imposing and elegant, seemed to come alive as Tia tested it, its various components moving up and down.
However, this was only the first-generation test unit; the actual armor had not yet been painted and assembled.
"Luckily, we ordered several hundred kilograms of materials at once, otherwise it really wouldn't have been enough."
Horn looked at the armor; this test machine alone had consumed over a hundred kilograms of gold-titanium alloy.
However, despite being a test unit, it still has all the necessary functions.
"Sir, the examination is complete, everything is normal."
A dozen seconds later, Tia's voice rang out.
"Load the selected auxiliary system".
Horn then gave the instructions.
"Combat assistance system loading, operation assistance system loading, flight assistance system loading, aiming assistance system loading..."
The data scrolled rapidly across the screen.
Meanwhile, programs and code stored in separate documents were loaded into the armor.
In an instant, the Assault Freedom Armor seemed to be infused with a soul, like a beast that had fallen into a deep sleep gradually awakening.
A flash of red light erupted from his cold eyes.
"Sir, the auxiliary system has been fully loaded."
It took almost a minute for Tia's voice to ring out again.
"Check the weather and air traffic control, listen to the ground control tower signals, I'm going to conduct a test flight."
After finishing the last bite of his breakfast, Horn put down his plate and, unable to contain his excitement, walked toward his armor.
"Understood, sir. I will listen for the signal for you now."
Tia agreed.
Buzz—
At the same time, amidst a series of mechanical turning sounds, a mechanical arm hidden in the ceiling extended and put the Assault Freedom Armor on his body from the testing platform.
Horn felt the light in front of him gradually being swallowed up, and then a beam of light appeared, and in an instant, the huge underground laboratory reappeared before him.
As if sensing something, he immediately raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, as if it were his own arm.
"So smooth!"
Horn's eyes lit up. Throughout the entire process of raising his hand, he could not feel any weight or delay in the armor's forearm!
Twist your arms and move your arms around a bit more.
It's incredibly silky smooth!
The entire suit of armor looked like a piece of clothing on his body.
Not only did I not feel any weight, but it also did not affect my movements at all!
He even felt that the armor had become a part of his body!
"Tia, the first test flight will begin in ten seconds."
"learn."
With a whoosh, after a ten-second countdown, he activated his thrusters and, protected by his armor, lifted off the ground.
Then, it leaned forward, followed the exit, drew an arc, and soared into the sky with a trail of flame!
"So fast!"
As the scenery rushed past in the corner of his eye and the horizon continued to sink, Horn was surprised to find that he was now thousands of meters in the air!
"Tia, test your maximum speed."
After adjusting to the height, Horn continued.
next second.
It hissed and spat out flames.
He shot out like a cannonball.
boom-
The air exploded.
It broke through the air's constraints in just one second, reaching the speed of sound, or Mach 1.
Then came three times the speed of sound, five times the speed of sound...
Mach 6... Mach 8...
Up to Mach 15!
Seeing that he hadn't reached his limit yet, Horn stopped and didn't accelerate any further.
This speed is sufficient for him at present.
"Extreme Height Test"
Then he flew into the sky.
After breaking through the stratosphere and the atmosphere, and reaching space, the armor showed no adverse reactions, and they finally stopped, satisfied.
The Strike Freedom Gundam is designed for space combat. Even a mini version of the Strike Freedom Armor would be a failure if it lost its space combat capabilities.
"Testing sub-light speed flight."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wings of the super dragon rider mobile armor hanging on his back suddenly unfolded and burst out with azure light.
laugh-
In the blink of an eye, his figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.
When they reappeared, they were on the other side of the Earth.
"Is this what sub-light speed is!?"
Horn was shocked; the whole thing happened in the blink of an eye.
He then proceeded to test the other performance aspects one by one.
Little did he know that his actions had caused an uproar at the US Air Force base in California.
In broad daylight, an unidentified flying object was detected over the United States!
