"Hiss——"
Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Luca involuntarily gasped.
However, Haro, who had a data cable plugged into him, was still restless, bouncing and praising himself on the desk.
"Haro, amazing! Haro, amazing!"
Luca, who was focused on the screen, raised his hand and pressed down on this troublemaker to prevent him from causing mischief.
However, no sooner had he completed this action than he immediately realized.
'Am I being a bit too presumptuous with this big shot?'
Thinking of this, Luca quickly changed his hand from pressing to stroking, his eyes still fixed on the screen.
The reason for his sudden 180-degree change in attitude at this moment was simple.
It was because the information displayed on the screen made Luca feel as if he had drunk a large gulp of ice-cold beverage in the dog days of summer, refreshing him from head to toe.
The database within this 'unassuming' Orange Haro contained not only knowledge for auxiliary work such as parts repair, equipment operation, and program coding.
More importantly, perhaps to aid in development and maintenance, it also contained several incredibly complete and comprehensive sets of production data, neatly categorized!
Gundam Nuclear Reactor (Solar Furnace)!
GN-000 – 0 Gundam, GNY001 – Astraea Gundam!
GN Particles Tank, Prototype GN Solid Sword, GN Beam Saber, GN Beam Rifle, GN Shield, Prototype GN Cannon, Prototype Avalanche Unit!
Gundam Operating System, E-Carbon Armor!
Haro, Haro Maintenance Support Mech!
Luca browsed through them in one breath; every piece of data stored within the Orange Haro was detailed and complete.
From structural parameters to original code, from experimental machine craftsmanship to development and derivative ideas!
It seemed that with these development materials, given enough capital and time, a super-powerful Gundam army could truly be mass-produced!
At this moment, Luca's eyes, looking at Haro, subtly began to glow green.
One must know, these were '00 series' Gundam mobile suits.
Even within the entire Gundam Worldview, they were known as 'Real Robot' type mobile suits, but in reality, they were'Super Robot' level Gundams, touching the threshold of divine power in all aspects.
When they truly went berserk, a four-hundred-kilometer beam saber cutting a satellite was no joke!
Moreover, not to mention the '0 Gundam' as the initial mobile suit, it was unknown from what period the Golden Finger synthesized Haro, but it even contained complete data for the 'Astraea Gundam'.
One must know, although the 'Astraea Gundam' was not the third-generation mobile suit used by the protagonists in the original work.
As a versatile mobile suit used in the development process to test more compatible solutions, it was considered the most perfect and mature model among the second-generation Gundams in terms of various stats and stability.
The database even contained numerous derivative models of the 'Astraea Gundam'.
However...
When Luca, full of anticipation, suddenly remembered something, he immediately and purposefully began to meticulously review the core data of the 'Astraea Gundam'.
As a result, his originally excited expression suddenly fell...
"No, why does everything for this 00 Gundam require a Solar Furnace?!"
Luca, somewhat unwilling, quickly checked other files, but the fact remained.
Not only products with the 'GN' prefix, like 'GN Sword' and 'GN Beam Rifle', required a'Solar Furnace' for power.
The beam rifle generated rays by compressing 'GN Particles', the beam saber focused 'GN Particles', and flight was driven by 'GN Particles' propulsion.
Even the mobile suit's own transmission system, communication equipment, power engine, and even the desire to enhance the defense capabilities of the 'E-Carbon Armor'.
Their core operation relied on the 'GN Particles' released by the'Solar Furnace'.
So...
Why was Luca still looking so dejected, even though the first complete set of data in Haro's database was the manufacturing manual for the'Solar Furnace'?
Luca looked at Haro with a last shred of hope.
"Haro... does the Solar Furnace really have to be manufactured under the special gravity environment of Jupiter?!!"
However, the result was...
"Jupiter! Jupiter! Necessary condition! Necessary condition!"
Haro completely ignored Luca's slightly trembling voice, still bouncing and repeating himself.
Upon hearing this, Luca's entire demeanor instantly deflated, as if all his spirit had been drained.
That's right.
All the epoch-making technology of the '00 series' Gundams, those almost divine and bizarre abilities, were built upon the miraculous 'GN Particles', and to compress and generate 'GN Particles', one needed the'Solar Furnace', a semi-permanent energy core.
However, the manufacturing of the'Solar Furnace' required Jupiter's unique gravity environment.
In other words, after going in a circle, for Luca, who currently lacked the ability to send a research spacecraft to Jupiter, these technologies were nothing more than a reflection of the moon in Water or a flower in a mirror.
Of the vast amount of data within Haro, perhaps only a small portion could barely be used now.
"That's not right... it's still debatable whether GN Particles even exists in the Marvel Universe..."
Thinking this, Luca felt even more that his future was bleak...
Glancing at Haro, who was rolling around on the table by himself, Luca continued to ask weakly.
"If there are no Gundams? Flag or Iron Man types would also work, right?"
The two types of mobile suits Luca asked about were humanoid mobile suits manufactured by two 'countries' not allied with the protagonists in the 00 Gundam World. Their strength was certainly incomparable to Gundams, but they were still considered epoch-making humanoid combat mobile suits.
However, the result was as he expected.
Haro's eyes flashed red, giving a direct answer.
"Don't know! Don't know!"
"What about the Pseudo Solar Furnace?" Luca pressed on.
The 'Pseudo Solar Furnace' was an imitation of the'Solar Furnace' by the antagonist organization in the original work.
It did not require manufacturing on Jupiter, but rather relied on a special drive device to activate and generate 'GN Particles' using electricity as a consumable energy core.
Although this device, due to insufficient compression, produced 'Red GN Particles' that were harmful to the human body.
However, the 'Pseudo Solar Furnace' could indeed power most Gundam equipment.
Unfortunately, the result remained the same.
"Don't know! Don't know!"
Haro gave the answer again.
Well, in fact, Luca himself already knew the result after browsing most of the data.
Asking this question was merely his unwilling 'death throes'.
"Alright, these low-end goods are better off without!"
Luca said through gritted teeth.
"At least with this data, I can consider my future promising..."
At least compared to other items, the data from the Gundam 00 World allowed Luca to see 'products' that he could genuinely replicate.
The only prerequisite was – reaching Jupiter!
'Damn it, when I have the ability to reach Jupiter, would I still be short of a second-generation Gundam like this?'
Thinking of this, Luca, feeling somewhat disheartened, leaned back weakly against the chair, his eyes staring blankly at the Underground Room's ceiling.
However, perhaps sensing Luca's disappointment, the Orange Haro, which had been so lively a moment ago, quickly rolled to the edge of the table, extended his omnidirectional mechanical arm, and gently tugged at Luca's clothes.
"Don't be sad! Don't be sad!"
"Haro amazing! Haro amazing!"
Luca, who was looking up and thinking about how far Orange Industries would need to develop to reach Jupiter, heard the sound and looked at the Orange Haro with some confusion.
Then a flash of inspiration struck him.
And with a'smack', he slapped his forehead hard.
"You idiot! Haro is clearly the key to this synthesis!"
Yes, Luca only then remembered that his initial concern for this synthesis was essentially due to the prompt from the Golden Finger panel.
'Haro possesses repair and manufacturing capabilities; he is an excellent mechanic in himself.'
As a result, he unexpectedly forgot his original intention because he saw the epoch-making technology related to Gundams in the system data.
In fact, with Haro's manufacturing capabilities, even by piecing together the technologies from the Gundam 00 World, he might even be able to create some epoch-making new products.
What's more, with Luca's Golden Finger, would he still worry about not getting more black-tech technical data in the future?
What he truly lacked now was merely knowledge in the field of scientific research and the ability to develop and manufacture.
If it weren't for his lack of ability, even just thoroughly understanding the production process video of White and creating a batch of intelligent robots would be enough for Luca to solve most crises and even make a fortune.
'So! Data is for the future, but Haro's development and manufacturing capabilities are the key right now!'
Luca, his interest rekindled, looked at the bouncing Orange Haro again and asked with full anticipation.
"Haro, can you make anything?!"
