Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 17 is a man
In order to be able to install the additional thermonuclear engine, the flight experimental Tiger naturally reduced its original weight.

The most critical point is to make the outer armor lighter.

In other words, even a 60mm bullet has the potential to penetrate if it can hit directly.

It is reasonable for the engines and fan blades to stop working immediately if they are hit.

What's more, a flight test Tiger exploded during a test flight in North America not long ago. The fact that Norris is still able to drive it into the battlefield now shows that he has put in a lot of effort.

This is exactly what Eli was planning. He wanted to use the 60mm Vulcan cannon to weaken the new human's flying ability with the guidance of their intuition.

Unfortunately, Eli did not expect that the flight test Tiger's climbing speed was much higher than he expected, causing the preemptive attack to fall into the air.

Eli failed in his first attack and immediately gave up his plan to continue attacking with the Vulcan cannon.

The Vulcan cannon integrated into the chest has a limited firing angle. If one forces himself to conduct anti-aircraft shooting under such circumstances, the consequence would probably be that the tiger flying in the air would catch the blind spot and kill him with one shot.

As expected, the flying tiger held a sword across its chest, and all of its thermonuclear engines turned at the same time, spraying a turbulent airflow toward its back.

With such propulsion force, the Tiger charged forward at a speed that even Eli could not react to!

Eli immediately raised his right hand, lit up the beam saber that had been prepared long ago, leaned the entire machine forward, and swung it out violently!

The flying experimental tiger was naturally no weaker than a human, and its already burning orange-red thermal energy sword went forward to meet the beam saber's path.

The moment the two weapons collided, a dazzling spherical flash was produced at the point of intersection.

"Have a hand!"

Norris' voice came the moment the two knives touched.

"I didn't expect the Federation to have such warriors. Really amazing... 06's logo, is that so? Are you the so-called 'devil'?"

Only at this distance could Norris clearly see the number on Eli's body.

Even Norris is familiar with the "06" logo.

"Demon? Compared to me, the Zeon army that massacred the entire colony satellite is the real demon!"

This time, Eli was completely sure that the person flying the flying tiger was Norris.

Even though Eli had admired Norris's character in the past in another world, he had no concerns about it now.

Just as he had said to Shirou Amada before, if there are really good people in the Zeon army, they should leave Zeon.

Norris does have some shining qualities such as loyalty, and he is absolutely right in his position.

But this cannot wash away the fact that he was in the company of invaders and murderers.

"A demon? Even so, I can't let you hurt Miss Aina now!"

The single eye on the tiger's head emits a breathtaking light.

Contrary to Eli's expectations, Norris did not excuse Zeon's behavior, but simply continued to think about Aina.

In other words, Norris also knew that what Zeon did could hardly be called right.

Tiger slightly released the force, letting the beam saber brush against the blade of the heat knife and fall into the empty space.

Then, Tiger lowered his body and swung his thermal saber horizontally, trying to cut Eli's land-based Gundam in half!
"Da da da…"

At the critical moment when the lightsaber was swept away, Lu Gao, with the door wide open, opened the Vulcan cannon again and fired intensively.

At this distance, the tiger had no chance to dodge and was immediately pierced through the head by the 60mm bullet.

Even so, Norris still swung the thermal energy knife forward without hesitation!

Eli's reaction was not slow either. Seeing Tiger's desperate attack, he immediately stopped the attack of the Vulcan cannon, extended the shield in his left hand forward, and blocked the path of the thermal knife.

"Successful!"

The heat blade slashed into the shield, embedding deeply into it, and Norris's roar was heard in the cockpit. He obviously didn't hurt himself...

"Buzz!"

While Eli was still confused, the jets all over the headless tiger in front of him started to operate further.

The sudden increase in output power actually pushed Lu Gao's feet that were nailed to the ground away, causing the entire machine to lose its fixation and detach from the Apsaras!
Then, the force of the tiger's slash sent Lu Gao flying, and he could no longer threaten Apsaras.

“…As expected of the Tiger King.”

Eli looked at the Tiger, which was parked on the Apsaras, with black smoke coming out of its engine and lying motionless. He knew in his heart that the Tiger would fight him to the death.

"Norris is a man."

Even though Eli had a dislike for Zeon, he couldn't help but admire Norris's determination.

"Next time we meet, I will defeat you."

However, this did not affect Eli's determination to fight.

He lowered his head and began to work on the hard landing operation of the Land Combat Gundam.

The backpack on his back sprayed intermittently, gradually reducing his speed.

Not far away, the Sandas machine and the Kallen machine were approaching, and a little further away was the Shirou machine, half-crouching in place.

"Now, the logistics department is going to scold me..."

"boom!"

Amid the violent tremors, Eli's land-based Gundam landed safely.

……

"Norris, Norris! Are you okay?"

Above the clouds, Aina quickly asked Norris.

An experimental Tiger aircraft recently crashed due to engine loss during a test flight in North America, killing the pilot instantly.

This is also the reason why Kinias can easily obtain the results of other bases.

And now the appearance of Norris's flying experimental tiger really makes Ina worried.

"I'm landing now, Norris, please come out quickly."

As Aina spoke, the height of the Apsaras also dropped simultaneously.

"No, Miss Aina, please don't worry about me and try your best to bring Apsaras back."

Compared with the state of the body, Norris's condition is very stable.

So in his opinion, it was just a possible explosion, and his own life was nothing compared to the Apsaras that Lord Ginias and Aina had sacrificed so much for.

"Never!"

When Norris was still trying to reason, Aina's cry immediately made him swallow all his words back into his stomach.

“…sizzle”

At this time, the wireless connection between Apsaras and the flying experimental tiger was re-established, allowing Norris to see Ina's face.

He immediately noticed the tears glistening in the corners of Aina's eyes.

“I’ve lost a lot today, and I don’t want to lose you again, Norris.”

Norris stared blankly at Ina, who was showing endless sadness, and could no longer speak.
