Dragon Fly led Li Xiucheng to the hangar of the manufacturing plant, while Li Xiucheng followed behind Dragon Fly with a serious expression.
Inside the hangar, besides the plant manager Simmons and relevant staff, there were several mercenaries wearing matching black and white mercenary uniforms. Among them was an older middle-aged man wearing a beret and sunglasses, who was also the mercenary group leader, Li Jiaming.
"Hello, Boss," everyone greeted Dragon Fly.
Dragon Fly nodded, looking at the manufactured RX78 Gundam. Its armament included a Beam Rifle, a Hyper Bazooka, a Shield, and two Beam Sabers on its backpack.
"Manager, get everything ready. I want to personally test this MS."
Dragon Fly changed into a Space Pilot Suit and sat in the cockpit. After manually typing on the keyboard and running test software, Dragon Fly began to control the RX78 Gundam.
The RX78 Gundam equipped a Live-Ammo Rifle and stepped onto the Catapult. The Catapult dashed forward rapidly, and the RX78 Gundam flew out of the factory.
Dragon Fly piloted the RX78 Gundam toward the destination.
There were many special moving targets at the destination. Some were mobile targets, while others were drones equipped with Live-Ammo Long Rifles.
Dragon Fly used both hands on the control sticks to press buttons and stepped on the pedals to attack. He shot at the targets while flying. When hitting the bullseye, a cyan liquid splashed and stuck to the center of the target. Every shot hit the target, either dead center or close to it, and the hit mobile targets then returned to the base.
The drones also attacked. Dragon Fly stepped on the pedals to evade and pressed the fire button to counterattack.
The drones that were hit had cyan liquid stuck to their hulls and automatically returned to the factory.
After a round of shooting and evasion tests, the result was that the RX78 Gundam piloted by Dragon Fly had not been hit once.
Next were the evasion maneuvers. Rushing toward a dense Meteorite Zone, Dragon Fly concentrated on controlling the Gundam for a full sprint. Under his control, the Gundam dodged the meteorites blocking its path as smoothly as flowing water.
In a workspace inside the factory, many staff members sat in their seats monitoring the data of Dragon Fly controlling the Gundam.
Each employee reported their respective data results.
On-site, Li Jiaming, Li Xiucheng, and the other mercenaries were dumbstruck as they listened to the reports.
"No way, the Boss can not only develop many amazing things but is also so skilled at piloting an MS. This level of piloting technique is already that of an Ace Pilot. If the Boss's talent were to be revealed, it would make so many people die of envy," one mercenary remarked with deep emotion.
Li Xiucheng couldn't believe his best friend had actually developed such an advanced MS. If this MS could be mass-produced, it would definitely overturn the main armaments of countries all over the world.
"Uncle, if the MS my best friend developed were to be released, would it cause a huge uproar?"
"It would."
"Can this MS be mass-produced?"
"I estimate it will be very difficult. I've already seen the data and hardware for this MS; it won't be that easy to manufacture. Moreover, maintenance would be very labor-intensive."
"Do you know how much the Boss spent just to manufacture this MS, let alone the development costs? Do you know?" Simmons suddenly interjected.
Everyone answered that they didn't know.
The MS pilot mercenaries turned to look at the Jim MS they usually piloted—red and white MS, holding a rifle in the right hand and a Shield in the left, with a Beam Saber above the backpack thrusters on the back, and a cyan visor over the eye area like wearing cyan sunglasses... "Boss, what should we call this MS?" Simmons asked Dragon Fly.
"Gundam, also called Gundam, designated RX78, referred to as the Original."
Li Xiucheng asked, "Boss, you call this MS Gundam and refer to it as the Original. Does that mean you will also develop subsequent models?"
Dragon Fly nodded, effectively answering Li Xiucheng's question.
At this moment, a blonde professional beauty with a graceful figure wearing a black professional suit arrived at the scene. She was the person in charge of the Tianyi Armaments Manufacturing Company, the company's president, Sakchi.
Sakchi bowed to Dragon Fly and said, "Boss, I have something to report to you."
"Come to my office and report to me."
"Boss, I also have something to report to you," Li Jiaming quickly followed behind Dragon Fly.
Arriving at Dragon Fly's office, the scanner at the main door scanned them and the door opened automatically.
After entering the office, Dragon Fly sat in his executive chair, while Sakchi and Li Jiaming stood side-by-side in front of the large desk.
A machine carried two chairs and placed them behind the two of them.
"Sit."
The two sat in the chairs.
"I'll have a lemon tea. What about you?"
"A cup of coffee."
"A cup of black tea."
The machine complied immediately. Soon, the lemon tea was placed on Dragon Fly's desk, the coffee in front of Li Jiaming, and the black tea in front of Sakchi.
"Who will report to me first?"
The two looked at each other, and Li Jiaming reported to Dragon Fly first, handing a tablet to him.
Dragon Fly looked at the report file on the tablet.
"Does the expansion need to be three times larger than the current scale?"
"Yes, Boss. We need to expand to that scale so we can take on commission orders from various countries."
Although Dragon Fly's company was located within the sphere of influence of the Mikaang country, its position was actually at the outermost edge. The location was at a crossroads with many countries, or rather, it was in an overlapping, controversial area.
Among these countries were the forces extended from his motherland, the Hanxia Empire. Most representatively, there were several colonies that belonged to the Hanxia Empire.
This was how Li Xiucheng and his unit had infiltrated this area back then to wipe out the pirate groups of that time.
Furthermore, the Hanxia Empire didn't just have a few space colonies; it had at least twenty or more space colonies in the universe, just distributed in various places.
It just so happened that a few colonies were in this area, so their territory expanded to this region.
Although Mikaang was an independent country, it only had two colonies. It could be said to be a small and weak nation.
