Chapter 401: VEDA Database
After connecting to the VEDA database through the Ptolemaios, Tolle also obtained technological data such as the Trial System and E-Carbon Steel armor.
Weist's records in VEDA appeared rather ordinary and unremarkable.
He had started from scratch relying on high-performance batteries, then gradually expanded into industries such as computer technology and MS design.
Over more than twenty years, he turned a small company into the Xiao Group and became the sixth major family of the [Human Reform League].
The key point was that he was also an investor in Celestial Being.
Not long ago, he had also taken on an auditing project for the [Human Reform League] to design a transformable fighter jet.
Its appearance was almost identical to the VF-1 series, except the energy system had been replaced with a high-performance battery pack and fuel thrusters.
It became a larger-sized product that was severely downgraded, stripped down, and simplified. Even the laser cannons and the ability to break through the atmosphere independently were removed.
The only improvement over the original was that after transforming into MS form, its height increased from around 12 meters to about 18 meters.
However, the design had not been fully completed. Only sketches had been drawn and some concepts envisioned. Before it could be finished, he died in a terrorist attack.
Tolle covered his forehead. It seemed his future self had dug another pit for him to jump into.
Most regrettably, although he had obtained VEDA's data, the VEDA main body itself was not aboard the Ptolemaios, nor had he found its whereabouts.
Tolle vaguely remembered that it should be on the moon or somewhere near lunar orbit, and that it had been discovered by Fon Spaak of the angel organization.
But it didn't matter that he hadn't found it. After all, Ribbons would eventually send VEDA's main body to the Ptolemaios. At worst, he could just reap the benefits when the time came.
While reviewing the technological data, he also discovered that overflowing GN particles could form a plasma energy magnetic field on the surface of armor. Although it was far inferior to a GN defensive field, it could still offset some external live-ammunition and beam attacks.
This indirectly enhanced the armor's defensive capability.
The Trial System operated on a principle similar to a computer virus. It could release interference signal waves within a fixed area, directly seize control of units connected to the VEDA database, and force their operating systems into an uncontrollable state.
However, it was completely useless against units not connected to the VEDA database, making it somewhat impractical.
After finishing the inspection of the data, Tolle suddenly had a whimsical idea and said to Nami, "Nami, help me simulate something. See if we can integrate the advantages of E-Carbon Steel alloy into Gundanium alloy.
If it works, then in the future we'll create a Super Alloy Armor synthesis record. We'll try fusing all the different metal alloys we collect to create the strongest Super Gundam alloy. Let's call it Gundam S Alloy for short."
Nami sighed and replied, "Sigh~ Master, metal synthesis is very difficult. The proportions of each material differ. Even combining the best metals doesn't necessarily produce something better than the originals.
Nami will need to experiment gradually.
However, under the current circumstances, if it's for Master's personal unit, the S Alloy could attempt fusion through the neo DG Cells.
If it's for others to use, that won't be possible. The key issue is finding a base material that can fully accept other different metal compositions."
"If it doesn't work, then forget it. I was just saying it casually. We'll talk about it when there's a chance in the future."
It was rare to hear Nami say something couldn't be done, so Tolle could only temporarily abandon the fanciful idea. The S Alloy plan would have to wait until they found a metal with stronger compatibility.
"However, integrating the external camouflage membrane generator from VEDA into our current optical camouflage stealth system shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Master, that's completely feasible. After combining the two effects, it will be more suitable for standard units. The new stealth mode can be used effectively by other units even without the assistance of the neo DG Cells."
"Good. Then let's do it. The new stealth mode will continue using the original name—Optical Camouflage Stealth."
"As you command, Master."
"Nami, once we return to Earth, we'll immediately complete the MS design for the [Human Reform League] and manufacture that downgraded VF-1 design.
After the test flight is approved and full mass production begins,
help me obtain a VEDA-recommended qualification within the VEDA database for Celestial Being MS reserve pilots and MS design and manufacturing experts. Then we'll just wait for them to come to us."
"Don't worry, Master. Nami guarantees it will be handled perfectly."
After that, Tolle secretly returned to the orbital elevator, canceled the disguise android, and rejoined the tour group.
When the sightseeing trip ended, Tolle went to find Kinue, who was busy working in her office. He deliberately spread his arms with a grin and said, "Sister Kinue, I'm back. Did you miss me?"
Kinue set down her work with an annoyed expression, stood up, and replied, "Miss you? As if. All you know how to do is run around everywhere. The moment I don't pay attention, you slip away again."
Then she walked up to Tolle, grabbed his collar, and in the domineering style of a female CEO, took the initiative to kiss him passionately.
…
After a long while, Kinue leaned against him with flushed cheeks and asked, "How long are you planning to stay this time? Where are you heading next?"
Tolle gently stroked her hair and reassured her, "I'm not leaving for now. I'll stay and work for a while, help share some of your workload, Sister Kinue."
Hearing that Tolle was willing to stay and work, she smiled with relief and said, "That's wonderful. My little Dax has finally grown up and become sensible."
"Sister Kinue, I'm not little anymore. I'm already an adult, so it's time I took on some responsibility." Tolle, who had just been serious, immediately put on a mischievous grin. "Besides, with such a tempting sister here, how could I bear to leave so easily?"
"So that's how it is. Well, that's fine. As long as you've had a change of heart, my door will always be open for you at night.
But during the day, you still need to work properly. You can't always act like you just did. Do you understand?
Take a look around here and see what work suits you. Start little by little."
Blushing deeply, Kinue gently pushed Tolle away and pointed to the empty secretary's desk and its computer beside them. Then she returned to her own desk and resumed her busy work.
Tolle could only sit in the secretary's chair nearby, pretending to review the various reports and the Xiao Group's business scope displayed on the computer.
