Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

"Weapon mounting? That's no problem." Shen Yun nodded and agreed.

"Let's talk as we walk. I'll buy you a drink," Reiko Kashiwamura said with a smile.

Although TPC has a cafeteria, the atmosphere at the izakayas outside is better.

Although TPC is the Earth Peace Alliance, it doesn't require working at the base 24/7.

Although I often work overtime, I still have clear working hours.

The TPC base is located off the coast of the Boso Peninsula, but an undersea tunnel is being built beneath the base.

This will not affect the travel of employees within the TPC base.

Near the base's undersea tunnel, there are also TPC staff dormitories.

"Okay." Shen Yun thought for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to have anything urgent to do, so going out for a drink wouldn't hurt.

As they talked, the two took the elevator to the parking lot inside the base.

"Get in the car quickly," said Reiko Kashiwamura, opening the door of a white sedan.

Shen Yun opened the passenger door and got in.

After getting into the car, Reiko Kashiwamura drove the sedan from the parking lot along the undersea tunnel beneath the base, heading towards the metropolis.

As top researchers at TPC, Shen Yun and Reiko Kashiwamura naturally received excellent treatment.

They not only receive generous salaries and housing, but also a car for transportation.

Soon, the car stopped in front of an izakaya (Japanese pub) near the TPC staff dormitory.

Reiko Kashiwamura stopped the car and said with a smile, "We've arrived."

Reiko Kashiwamura parked the car and led Shen Yun into the izakaya, introducing it as follows:

"This izakaya was opened by former members of the defense force, so we can talk without worry."

The two sat down in a secluded corner.

Reiko Kashiwamura skillfully picked up the menu, ordered some dishes and drinks, then looked at Shen Yun and asked:

"Dr. Shen, what would you like to drink?"

"Just give me a drink, I don't really like drinking," Shen Yun said with a faint smile.

"Okay." After ordering a cup of hot milk for Shen Yun, Reiko Kashiwamura returned the menu to the waiter.

Soon, the sake and hot milk that Reiko Kashiwamura had ordered were served.

Shen Yun held the warm cup, looked at Reiko Kashiwamura, and asked, "Director Kashiwamura, what are your plans?"

"I haven't decided yet." Reiko Kashiwamura shook her head, a hint of trouble on her face.

"The Victory Flying Swallow was originally designed for rescue and disaster relief, so equipping it with weapons was a very difficult task."

She designed two versions of the Victory Swallow.

The Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 is a highly maneuverable rescue aircraft designed to respond to emergencies.

The Victory Swallow II is a transport aircraft specifically designed for transporting materials, equipment, and personnel.

Although the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 had gun ports and ammunition magazines, these weapons were mainly used for disaster relief and obstacle clearing.

This is not a fighter jet designed to fight monsters at all.

"If we want to add weapons, we'll have to change the model of the Victory Swallow. But if we change the model, the safety of the pilots won't be guaranteed, so I think it's safer to design a completely new model."

The current Victory Flying Swallow is the best model after numerous trials and adjustments.

Changing the model could potentially trigger a series of problems and malfunctions.

Even the safety of the driver cannot be guaranteed.

In that case, it would be better to redesign a completely new aircraft that can be equipped with weapons.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun shook his head and said:

"Designing a completely new model? Director Baicun, your idea is good, but you also need to consider the actual situation."

"It's a completely new model of aircraft. Putting aside its practicality and performance, it will take a lot of time for team members and logistics personnel to become familiar with and master it."

"We probably don't have that much time left."

He knew very well that monsters and aliens would appear one after another over the next three years.

If the Victory Flying Swallow is not equipped with weapons, the Victory Team will probably have no fighting power at all.

Although he had GUYS's aircraft design blueprints in his mind, it would still take a long time to build it.

Not to mention the logistics personnel and drivers, who also need a lot of time to familiarize themselves with and master the new aircraft.

"No time?" Reiko Kashiwamura looked at Shen Yun with some surprise and couldn't help but ask:

Why do you think that way?

"Director Baicun, do you remember the prophecy of that time machine? The initial sign was the resurrection of Golza and Melba. Initially, it meant that this was just the beginning."

"Dr. Shen, do you also believe in that prophecy?"

"But isn't this prediction about the time machine gradually becoming a reality?"

"However, Director Baicun's concerns are not without merit. We can prioritize arming the Victory Swallow for emergency use. The design of a completely new aircraft can be carried out simultaneously later."

"Simultaneous deployment...that's not a problem, but the Victory Swallow doesn't have many slots for adding weapons..."

"How about mounting the weapons on the nose module? The Victory Flying Swallow I was equipped with a 7.62mm machine gun and a 120mm multi-purpose launcher during the UNDF era. Moreover, the nose of the Victory Flying Swallow is a replaceable unit, so various equipment can be changed every time it goes on a sortie. This will not affect the Victory Flying Swallow's design," Shen Yun suggested.

"That's one way, but you mentioned that conventional weapons don't seem to work against monsters."

"Laser weapons can be used. I remember that TPC's research on free electron lasers and charged particle emission devices has reached the practical application stage. This can be installed on the Victory Flying Swallow."

"You mean the needle-type high-power free electron laser and the Texas unit?"

"That's right."

"That's one way to do it," Reiko Kashiwamura nodded.

"The weapon modifications for the Victory Flying Swallow II..."

"How about installing the Texas unit on the Victory Swallow II?"

"Impossible!" Reiko Kashiwamura rejected. "The Texas unit's caliber is about 80% of the width of the Victory Flying Swallow II. Theoretically speaking, it is impossible to install such a weapon."

"We can modify the transport capsule of Victory Swallow II to be a mechanism that can unfold to the left and right, so that Victory Swallow II can accommodate the Texas Unit," Shen Yun said.

"However, after adding the Texas unit, there isn't much space left to add other weapons to the Victory Swallow II," Reiko Kashiwamura said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Shen Yun took out his portable PDI, pulled up the blueprints for Victory Swallow II, made some minor modifications, and said:

"The replaceable modules on both sides of the Victory Flying Swallow II fuselage can be replaced with laser generators, and then a little space can be left in front of the transport cabin for the installation of free electron lasers and super photon laser cannons."

"Such improvements are indeed feasible!" Reiko Kashiwamura glanced at the design drawings modified by Shen Yun and was slightly surprised.

Why did she feel that Shen Yun understood the Victory Flying Swallow better than she, the designer of the Victory Flying Swallow?

However, this strange idea only flashed through her mind for a moment.

"Dr. Shen, do you have any good ideas regarding the design of the new model?"

"How about designing the entirely new aircraft as a combined fighter?" Shen Yun asked.

"Combined fighter jets?"

"That's right, a combination fighter jet." Shen Yun nodded and said, "A combination fighter jet can connect the energy of two fighter jets together to achieve a faster propulsion speed, and can even fuse different lasers together to unleash power far beyond what is expected."

"Will this work?" Reiko Kashiwamura became interested in the combined fighter jet.

"Sure." Shen Yun nodded and then told Kashiwamura Reiko about his ideas for the combined fighter jet.

Reiko Kashiwamura also took out her notebook and wrote down her ideas about the combined fighter jet.

By the time the negotiations ended, it was nearly 11 p.m.

After parting ways with Reiko Kashiwamura, Shen Yun went straight back to his bachelor apartment.

At this point, he was too lazy to make another trip back to the base to test the performance of the Tiga armor.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.
