Chapter 386: Klein Field
While communicating with Iori Rinko, Nami continued reporting to Tolle, "As for the Super Galaxy Million, it can be fully replicated and mass-produced. This unit can separate into three components: the Million Battleship, the Million Spaceplane, and the Triangle Million.
Through 'Electromagnetic Combination,' the Million Battleship and Million Spaceplane can combine into a 55-meter-tall Super Robot: Galaxy Million.
Then, through 'Super Electromagnetic Combination,' Galaxy Million can combine with Triangle Million to form a 65-meter-tall Super Robot: Super Galaxy Million."
Tolle first checked the data on Super Galaxy Million and asked Nami, "Nami, how many people are needed to pilot this unit? At least five, right? Is there matching transformation combat gear?"
"Master, it indeed requires a minimum of five pilots. The combat suit data does exist, but it is far inferior to current nano-armor and can be disregarded."
"Uh, alright. Not enough pilots then. For now, let you handle control of Super Galaxy Million. Anyway, it won't be needed anytime soon—its size would probably mess up the Gundam height lineup."
"Understood, Master." After a brief pause, Nami continued, "Master, the data for the Ship Girl's Klein Field, corrosive torpedoes, and compressed space has also been fully copied.
Klein Field: also known as Forced Wave Motion Armor. It manifests an invisible defensive field in three-dimensional space, similar to a Clyne bottle energy conduit.
It can redirect all externally applied energy attacks— including kinetic energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, radiation, and other forms— from any direction.
Although this defensive method is extremely powerful, it cannot be used indefinitely. Once the defensive threshold is exceeded, the Klein Field will automatically peel off and collapse.
Its drawback is that while the defense is active, the user is also unable to attack. After collapse, re-condensation requires a certain amount of time.
Corrosive Torpedoes: upon impact with the target, they generate a localized vacuum-like state, eliminating energy dispersion, and cause the target's surface to instantly expand and then rapidly collapse.
Their power is decent when used on Earth, but their effectiveness is somewhat reduced in space.
As for compressed space technology, it has already been integrated and optimized with the original technology."
"Holy shit! I have nothing else to say." Tolle exclaimed. "Nami, with the Klein Field, does that mean I can tank nuclear weapons now?"
"Master, that can indeed be said. However, if subjected to dense, large-scale nuclear bombardment simultaneously, the Klein Field's defensive capacity can still be broken."
"As long as it can tank nukes, that's fine. When you're conscious, no sane person would just let themselves get hit by concentrated nuclear strikes.
But the Klein Field can't attack while active, and redirecting energy elsewhere feels pretty wasteful.
Nami, can we make use of the energy redirection property to perform energy reflection attacks, like the Akatsuki Gundam's Yata-no-Kagami armor?
Or maybe combine it with the Disaster Birth System and convert that energy into our own?
If that works, then the enemy's attacks would basically be charging us."
After running calculations for a while, Nami replied, "Master, both proposals are feasible. Energy reflection attacks are possible, but they can only reflect toward a single target.
Additionally, when the unit's energy is insufficient, this method can indeed be used for recharging. However, if the Klein Field exceeds its critical threshold, it will still collapse."
"Sigh. Being limited to a fixed damage threshold is the real flaw here. What about nesting it—stacking multiple layers of Klein Fields? Would that work?"
After another few seconds of calculation, Nami answered, "Master, this approach is also feasible. At present, a maximum of two Klein Field layers can be stacked, but energy absorption and recharging efficiency will be affected."
"As long as it can stack, it's fine even if it can't recharge. My own units are all powered by nuclear reactors or Ahabs—high-end endurance-type power sources—so that's not an issue at all."
"Understood, Master. Nami will now begin modifying the relevant data parameters.
Iori Rinko has completed her Ship Girl warship selection. The recommended model is the Archangel-class multipurpose battleship. The more terrain adaptability it has, the stronger her post-fusion versatility will be.
It is also not recommended to fuse with the Huayan. Doing so would cause conflicts with the original battleship core."
"Oh, alright. The Archangel can't be touched—it still needs to be left to Murrue and the others. That leaves either the Dominical, or just building a new one.
But since I already said that every time I see Azrael, I'll snatch something from him… then let's start with the Dominical. That'll save costs too.
Nami, tell Iori Rinko to wait a bit. We'll prepare a battleship for her as soon as possible."
"Understood, Master."
At the same time, DaCosta brought Athrun out in a shuttle, broke through, and reached the vicinity of the Eternal, immediately sending a signal transmission.
"DaCosta, lower your altitude and enter the hangar from the rear of the Eternal."
"Roger, Captain. Adjusting flight altitude now."
After finishing the exchange, Andrew immediately issued an order to the crew beside him. "Once the shuttle is recovered, the Eternal is to accelerate to maximum speed and leave this area immediately."
At this moment, Tolle felt the timing was just right and gave the order. The neo DG cells hidden within the Regenerate, Testament, and Providence Gundams were activated simultaneously, instantly smashing through their respective main gates and bursting out.
The communications officer immediately reported to Patrick, "Chairman Zala, the Eternal has suddenly destroyed the port's main gate and set sail.
The Regenerate, Testament, and Providence Gundams have also been stolen! They just flew out of the hangars!"
Patrick roared in fury, "What?! How is that possible?! What are you all doing, letting ZAFT's precious machines be stolen one after another?!
Investigate immediately and find out who took them. I will make them pay the price!"
He then slammed the phone down heavily, his face twisted in rage. "It must be Lacus's group behind this. It has to be! Damn traitors, all of you!"
Just as he was seething with anger, Tolle had Nami trigger a call sound on the computer in Patrick's office and upload the PX System, intelligent auxiliary system, and high-performance battery pack data in full.
Then a line of text appeared on the television screen on the wall:
Chairman Zala, no need to thank me. This is the payment for purchasing the Regenerate, Testament, and Providence Gundams. I hope you're satisfied.
As he looked at the technical data on the computer, Patrick's expression kept changing. In the end, he burst into excited laughter.
