When Raymond arrived, Kim Hee-sun was pleasantly surprised.
Her first reaction was to bounce around Raymond several times as if she hadn't seen him for a long time.
Her second reaction was to be a diligent juicer.
However, Raymond turned her down.
It wasn't that Raymond couldn't afford it.
It was because he had to leave the island tonight and go to area 53.
He had used up a part of his energy with Gail Gado, so he had to save some of it.
If he wrestled with Kim Hee-sun now, changes would have to be made.
Although Raymond rejected her, Kim Hee-sun wasn't unhappy.
“Hee-sun, I have to tell you something.”
When Raymond got serious, Kim Hee-sun stopped fooling about.
“It's okay, tell me.”
Kim Hee-sun hugged Raymond's arm and her pair of white marshmallows nestled in there.
“I'll have to leave for the next two days. Don't get into anything messy with Gadot. If there's anything, just talk to Tuesday. He'll open a channel to me.”
“Leave? Won't the program team find out?”
“No. They're all no match to this brother of yours. They're not worth mentioning at all!”
“Then brother, can you tell me where you're going?”
“I'm going to a research inst.i.tute to get some technology!”
“Can't you take me with you?” Kim Hee-sun asked bitterly. “I'm light on my feet, you know.”
“No, there's no room in the Gundam's c.o.c.kpit.”
“Gundam, what is that?”
“Oh, you haven't seen it yet, I've forgotten. It's a Mecha. Giant robot.”
“Like the ones from those j.a.panese animes? Although I hate j.a.pan, I'll like anything you build!”
“When I come back, I'll introduce you to a new AI!”
“Okay, you must come back soon! I don't get to sleep much without you around!”
After chatting for a while, Kim Hee-sun fell asleep in Raymond's arms.
As she breathed softly, Raymond naturally copped a feel.
Those things were a little too big for her body.
Even so, they suited his hands so well.
Perhaps she would have to use more fabric on her clothes than others.
Slowly, Raymond fell asleep.
When Tuesday woke him up, it was already a few minutes past six in the morning.
Slipping from under the warmth of the quilt, Raymond kissed Kim Hee-sun's face and left.
A thousand robots were already on their way.
There were still a lot of weapons left in the military base.
In order not to arouse suspicion, every robot donned the clothes and shoes of the American soldier.
Helmets covered their heads.
Gas masks covered their faces.
It looked like a large unit partic.i.p.ating in a military exercise.
However, the weapons in their arms were not standard.
The sidearm of that army was the heavy machine gun.
The other weapons being carried in their arms were meant for vehicles and entire crews such as howitzers and anti-aircraft guns.
All sorts of heavy weapons were casually carried.
More than 1,000 kilometers lay between the military base and area 53.
Therefore, Tuesday did not plan to get these metal lumps walking.
Instead, they got into big trucks.
Surveillance technology was very advanced now.
However, as long as something was connected to the Internet, Tuesday would turn it into his backyard.
Therefore, they took the main road without having to look up at the skies.
Tuesday had already tabulated a route into Area 53.
The robot army set off upon Raymond's instructions.
Raymond moved a few hours after they set off, but he got there far sooner.
With the plasma engine, a 50-ton giant robot could run like the wind.
Under Tuesday and Riven's tireless work, the Gundam had been upgraded with several new pieces of hardware.
One piece that stood out was the s.h.i.+eld generator.
Raymond's safety took precedence.
Many things had been added.
But when it was standing at a height of 21 meters, most of the hardware would not be spotted at a glance.
The two big swords were quickly shot down by Raymond.
Modern warfare was not n.o.ble or beautiful, but it was very real.
He would rather have a few more cannons than swords.
With Tuesday guiding additional systems, the Gundam took off.
As Raymond never got the chance to take the Gundam for a test drive, Riven took care of the rest.
“When we're level, let me take over!”
“Master, you've never piloted a Gundam before, is that okay?”
Riven was a little hesitant.
“Why, you're basically its brains, can't you intervene in an emergency?”
When Raymond said this, Riven got riled up.
If she wasn't qualified for this mission, then Raymond would call her out on it.
“Then, I'll try my best!”
“Mm…”
Raymond looked at the data displayed on the Gundam and continued to run the numbers in his mind.
However, not long after the Gundam flew out, the radar showed an object on the surface of the sea.
“There seems to be something on the right. Let's fly over and take a look!”
“Master, the American navy is on the surface of the sea over there. Are you sure?”
“Just keep a distance. It'll be fine even if we're discovered!”
Riven had not been made aware of Tuesday's show of force at the White House.
But Raymond did.
Even if they were discovered, so what.
If they dared to shoot, then the consequences would be beyond their expectations.
Moreover, how could they not notice something as big as Gundam?
If they still shot at a Gundam after identifying it, they were courting death.
The meteorite was looming over their heads, nothing hurt if they signed their death warrants sooner.
Soon, the Gundam approached the object.
“Riven, activate thermal detection mode…”
“Thermal detection mode activated!”
“Zoom in…”
“Alright, let's fly over and take a look!”
From afar, Raymond could already tell that it was an aircraft carrier.
However, this aircraft carrier did not belong to the United States.
However, this area of the sea belonged to the United States.
Raymond had more or less figured out the problem.
Moreover, the data from the thermal detection mode showed that there was no one on the aircraft carrier.
“Send the coordinates of this aircraft carrier to Tuesday.”
“Tuesday, send some robots over to commandeer this aircraft carrier back.”
“If there are any obstructions on the way, just fire. No matter the cost!”
“Yes, Sir!”
This aircraft carrier had come as a pleasant surprise.
There wasn't much technology that could be salvaged for their purpose.
But there were enough materials on an aircraft carrier.
Originally, to build the keel of a s.p.a.ce battles.h.i.+p, some special materials were needed.
If this thing were to be driven back, the problem would no longer exist.
Even the armor platings would be enough.
