Xiao Ran and Xiao Ran liangs onlyhandbumped intoone, on the facehung the friendlysmiling face of a long timenot having been seeingto graspgentlyalsoloosens, in the surfacetwo peopleseemed likequiteknow wellmayno matterin a friendly wayin factXiao RanorChar, in the hearttoeach otherconfidence levelradicallywas the degree of zero, not only thatis also maintaining the suitablealert.萧然只手碰到了一起,脸上挂着许久未见的友好笑容轻轻一握又随之松开,表面上两人看上去是相当熟识友好可实际上不管是萧然还是夏亚,心中对彼此的信任度根本就是零的程度,不仅如此相互之间还保持着相当的戒备。
The Xiao Ran'salertbases on the hope of Chartorevenge, after allthismanandCreusetequallysimilarly is a man who deceivedworld, butcomparesCreusetthatremarkablemindweakness, Char'smindstrong, toachieveowngoal is also not to fold the method, even after isinhisheartmostcares aboutArtesia that cannotbecomehimto set firm resolve , the excitedhindrance.萧然的戒备是基于夏亚对复仇的渴望,毕竟这个男人和克鲁泽一样同样是一个愚弄了世界的男人,但相比起克鲁泽那显著的心灵弱点来说,夏亚的心灵更加的坚强,为了达成自己的目标同样是不折手段,哪怕是他心中最在乎的阿尔黛西亚也不能成为他下定决心之后心动的阻碍。Whatis different from Creuset, Creusetisbecausewill soon dienot to care aboutoneselflife, thereforeputs together the lifealso to achieveowngoal. But the Char'sexperience is completely different, hedoes not have the sorrow of life, takesownlifeto take riskto take revenge, dareswith a personwithbazookaonduelbattleship, darespilotingmsto bringasteroidto crashEarth, dreamer who it can be said thattovainly hope to act boldly regardless of one's safety, but also is onecompared with the lunatic who Creusetdoes not care about the life, the lifealsoinitem that in the practice processcanuse.
和克鲁泽不一样的是,克鲁泽是因为自己即将死亡而不在乎自己的性命,所以拼出性命也要完成自己的目标。但夏亚的经历却完全不同,他没有性命之忧,却是拿着自己的性命去冒险复仇,敢于拿着一根人用火箭炮就单挑战舰,敢于驾驶着一台ms就带着小行星坠落地球,可以说是一个为了梦想奋不顾身的梦想家,但同时也是一个比克鲁泽更加不在乎性命的疯子,性命也只是在实践过程之中可以利用的一个道具而已。Creusetbecause ofdyingto be crazy, butCharbecause ofcrazy, butdied, said that whosemore insanethatwas also clear at a glance.克鲁泽是因为死亡而疯狂,而夏亚则是因为疯狂而去死亡,说起来谁更疯那也就一目了然了。
The Xiao Ran'salert was worried that Charthat the cooperationamongtwo peoplewill have the influence on the focus of revengeat present, without understandingclearpresentboundary, Charifwill also regard a tool in revengeprocess, rather thanpartner of sincere trust, thenamongtwo people the cooperationdefinitelywill have the problemto affect the overall schemefinally, thereforeXiao RanbeforetrustingChar, definitelyhascompared withcirclingby the Charclearunderstandinghisstrength and currentpresent situation.萧然的戒备就是担心夏亚目前那对复仇的执着会对两人之间的合作产生影响,如果在没有认识清楚现境的情况下,夏亚若是同样也将自己当成了复仇过程中的一个工具,而不是真心合作的伙伴的话,那么两人之间的合作必然会出现问题最终影响到全盘计划,所以萧然在信任夏亚之前,绝对有比绕让夏亚清楚的认识他的实力和目前的现况。ButChariscreatestoXiao Ran'sto the Xiao Ran'salertmystically, rebel organization that in the Xiao RanmouthfictionalizestoCharsimplyisbewildered . Moreover the opposite partyselectedownrealstatusownyounger sisterunexpectedlydirectlyalsoin the opposite partyhand, thismadeCharfeel a threat. Thatin the Xiao Raneye a secretin the threat that does not have.
而夏亚对萧然的戒备则是对萧然的神秘而造成的,萧然口中所虚构的反抗组织对夏亚来说简直就是莫名其妙,而且对方竟然直接点出了自己的真实身份就连自己的妹妹也在对方手上,这就让夏亚感觉到了一种威胁。那种自己在萧然眼中一点秘密都不存在的威胁。AlthoughXiao Ransaidveryof pleasant to hear, fightsfor the worldpeace, revolts againstEarth Federation ArmyandZeon, the goal of butexistenceandXiao Ran of Chartorebel organization saying to be actually maintaining very deepsuspicion. Whetherrebel organizationreallyexists, the Xiao Ran'sgoalmayreallyfor the worldpeace, even ifat that timewhen conducted the exchangewithXiao Ran, becauseCharthatNewtypeabilitybrought, the feeling that that rosefrom the bottom of the heartcanbelieveis unable to convinceCharto havemanytruststoXiao Ran.
虽然萧然说得很好听,为了世界和平而战,反抗地球联邦军和吉翁,可夏亚对反抗组织的存在和萧然所说的目的却保持着很深的怀疑。反抗组织是否真的存在,萧然的目的可又只是真的为了世界的和平,哪怕当时在和萧然进行交流的时候,夏亚那因为nt能力带来的,从心底升出的那种可以去相信的感觉也无法说服夏亚自己对萧然有更多的信任。BecauseChardoes not believeinsuchworld. Alsosomepeopleforworldpeacelike thisgreat dream, butstruggles, whowithout the benefitwill have nothing to doownmatterto brave the lifedangerto go to crimeworldtwobiginfluences, will look likeXiao Ranto seem likeoneinCharto vainly hope forlunatic who beautifully the fanis muddleheaded, the credibledegree of lunatichigh? Ifreallymustentirelybelieve that Xiao Ran said that Charfeltoneself is a lunatic.
因为夏亚才不相信在这样的一个世界之中。还会有人为了世界和平这样的伟大梦想而去奋斗,没有利益无关自己的事谁会去冒着性命危险去罪世界上两大势力,在夏亚看来萧然才像是一个被美丽梦想迷昏了头的疯子,疯子的可信程度有多高?如果真要完全相信萧然所说的话,夏亚才觉得自己是个疯子。Two peoplehold the respectiveideato exportto smilein the spaceportpassenger, Charunder the Xiao Ran'sinvitationalsocalculates that indifferentfollowingXiao Ransitsboards.pbtt.
两人就这么抱着各自的想法在宇宙港旅客出口相视一笑,在萧然的邀请之下夏亚也算淡然的跟着萧然坐上了车.pbtt.
The vehiclestarts, perhapsXiao RanandChartwo peoplehave not discussedtheseto disclose that on the vehiclelittlewill also letZeonandFederationtightens the nerve the issue, butput a body of woman the topic.
车子启动,萧然和夏亚两人并没有在车上谈论那些或许透露出去一点点也都会让吉翁和联邦绷紧神经的问题,而是将话题放到了一个女人的身上。„Is shegood?” After boarding, onsilentChar of meeting, is looking at the sameworldBraun Citysceneryhisrevolutionsto be finally excessivelookstoXiao Ran.
“她还好么?”上车之后就沉默了一会的夏亚,在看了同样世界布朗市风景的他终于转过了头看向了萧然。Xiao RannaturallyknowswhatCharaskedwas, nodswith a smile: „Alsogoodevery daycrossesveryhappily. Foroneselfbecomedoctor'sdream, butis trying hard, had the newfriendnot to lack the person who canspeakto chat, somewhatthought ofElder Brother who oneselfverylonghave not seen, butis anticipatingandyourmeetingvery much.”萧然自然知道夏亚问的是谁,笑着点点头:“还不错每天都过得很开心。为了自己成为医师的梦想而努力着,有了自己新的朋友也不缺少可以说话聊天的人,就是有些想念自己很久没见的哥哥而已,可是很期待着和你的见面。”„Yes.”Charsmileslightly, on the facealsoleftwiped the tender feelings
“是么。”夏亚淡淡一笑,脸上也多出了一抹柔情
: „Actually to become the target of doctor, butis trying hard, thismaynot seem likehercharacter.”
:“竟然在以成为了医师的目标而努力着,这可真不像是她的性格。”Xiao Ranlooked atCharone, said: „Personchange, specialafterexperiencingthis world'schanged, there aremanypeople to changethisworld , helping morepeople, butchanges itselfdiligently.”萧然看了夏亚一眼,说道:“人都是会变的,特别是在经历了这个世界的变化之后,还是有很多的人愿意为了改变这个世界,帮助更多的人而努力改变自己。”„.”Chargives a calm smile. Said: „Mayhavemore people willingto maintain the presentappearance, mixeswaiting that eatsto wait for deathothers'help, buthelpthesepeoplewill only makethemdegeneration, withoutideologicalpalelivingsameis accepting others 'sorganizinginthisworldlike the puppet. Sinceisthis, whythisperson must helptothem.”
“呵。”夏亚淡然一笑。说道:“可却有更多的人愿意保持现在的模样,混吃等死的等待着别人的帮助,而帮助这些人只会让他们变得更加的堕落,没有思想苍白的活在这个世界就如同木偶一样接受着他人的摆布。既然是这样的话,这种人为什么还要给他们帮助。”„Perhaps, butIthought that perhapsthesedegenerateinyourmouthtobeing similar to the puppetordinaryperson, Burningwill giveworldto be brightandwarmat crucial moment.”Xiao Ranwas sayingalsolooked atCharone , to continue saying: „Naturally, this must first makethemseecantillstrength that struggles.”
“也许吧,但我觉得说不定这些在你口中堕落到如同木偶一般的人,也会在关键的时候燃烧自己给自己世界光明和温暖。”萧然说着也看了夏亚一眼,继续说道:“当然,这首先要让他们看到可以为止奋斗的力量。”Smiling of Charshows neither approval nor disapproval. Thesethingscurrentlyare not within hisconsideration, hetotake revengeto massacreZabi Familyeveryone who wantsto doonlymerely, thenprotectsfather'sdream.夏亚不置可否的笑了笑。这些东西目前并不在他的考虑之内,他唯一想要去做的也仅仅只是为了复仇而杀掉扎比家的所有人,然后守护父亲的梦想而已。
The vehiclehas led the way, untiladvancingin the Anaheim Electronicsfactory districtmadeon the Char'sfacechangeslightly, using the somewhatsurprisedlookto look atXiao Ranone, hehas not thought that Xiao Rancanleadhimto come tohere, arrived atthisto show talent for the first timeonworldat present, makingEarth Federationhave no alternativeandmakeZeonalsoprobablymaintain the relational the domain in deathmerchantAnaheim ElectronicsCorporation.
车子一直前行,直到开进了阿纳海姆的厂区之中才让夏亚的脸上微微的变了一下,用着有些惊讶的眼神看了萧然一眼,他没有想到萧然会带他来这里,来到这个目前已经在世界上崭露头角,让地球联邦无可奈何又让吉翁也必须维持关系的死亡商人阿纳海姆公司的地盘。Butthecar(riage) that ridescannohindranceadvancein a militaryfactory, actuallydidn't have one personunderblockingalsoshow that unexpectedlysufficientlyXiao Ranin the position of Anaheim ElectronicsCorporation, thiscanexplain a point, thatrebel organization in Xiao Ranmouthas if is really notnonsensical talk, the backreallyalsohasAnaheim ElectronicsCorporationsuchstrengthto support, thismakesCharto the trust that Xiao Ranrisesinexplicablyas ifstart the small birdsto wantbecause of that sanedepressesto move.
而坐着的这辆车竟然可以在一个军事工厂里面毫无阻碍前进,却没有一个人将之拦下也足以证明萧然在阿纳海姆公司的地位,这就能够说明一点,萧然口中的那个反抗组织似乎真不是什么无稽之谈,背后竟然还有阿纳海姆公司这样的力量予以支持,这使得夏亚本来因为理智而压下的那份对萧然莫名升出的信任似乎又开始雀雀欲动。Xiao RanisInnovator, regardlessobtainingbattle abilitydid not saytocommunicate, butevolved mankind, Charisonehas the Newtypepotentialandtowardmankind that on the Newtypepathgoes forward, similarlyalsotocommunicateto exist, has very highsimilarity. CanunderopeningInnovatormodefeelsCharlikeXiao Ran, becausealthoughChar the abilityundergroundcannotfeelexistence of Xiao Ran, butinsituationface-to-faceXiao Ranregarding the words that spoke, what can actually distinguishXiao Ranto sayin the fuzzinesswas is really false, thiswasthisCharfeltthingcrediblesource that Xiao Ransaid.萧然是变革者,抛开获得的战斗能力不说本是为了沟通而进化的人类,夏亚是一个有着nt潜力并朝着nt道路上前进的人类,同样也是为了沟通而存在,本就有着很高的相似性。就像萧然能够在开启变革者状态下感受到夏亚一样,夏亚虽然因为能力的地下并不能感觉到萧然的存在,但在面对面的情况下对于萧然所说的话,却能够在模模糊糊之间分辨萧然所说的是真是假,这就是这份夏亚觉得萧然所说的东西可信的来源。ButsaneChar, althoughdid not deny that whatXiao Ransaid is really false, butwill actually also alertXiao Ranto concealtohim. After alldid not say that does not represent the deceit, is not naturally ableto distinguish the Xiao Rantruegoal.
可理智的夏亚虽然不否认萧然所说的是真是假,可却同样会戒备萧然会对他有所隐瞒。毕竟不说就不代表欺骗,自然也就无法分辨萧然真正的目的。When the vehiclestopsbefore a giantworkshop, Xiao RanthenbroughtCharto get outto enter, thisworkshop could also be said as a building. Insidehasall kinds ofpeopleworks, is carrying out the research and development effortforAnaheim Electronicsms, buthas not so far hadanythingto harvest.
当车子在一个巨大的厂房之前停下,萧然便带着夏亚下车走进了其中,这个厂房也可以说是一栋大楼。里面有着各式各样的人在其中工作,全都在为了阿纳海姆的ms在进行研发工作,只是到目前为止也并未有什么收获。Butinunderground of thisbuilding, anotherbiggerworkshopin the situation that inonlysomesmall numbers of peopleknoweverydaybustles aboutcontinuous, Xiao RanbroughtCharto enterinthisworkshopsituated insubterraneanthrough the elevator.
而在这栋大楼的地下,另一个更大的厂房则在仅有少数人知道的情况下每天每天都忙碌不休,萧然带着夏亚就这么通过电梯进入到了这个位于地底的厂房之中。ConceivableCharaftergoing out ofelevator. Standspenetrates that the corridorwindowseesto be fixedin the corridorafterhugems on supportcanbewhatexpression, startled, surprised, puzzledthesehaveentirely. AsZeon'smspilot, moreoverisace pilot, even if not understand the technicalthing, butactually can still seems that thishas not carried out thoroughlyat presentradically is the MS-06 Zaku IIcompletelydifferentthings.
可以想象夏亚在走出电梯之后。站在走廊之中透过走廊窗户所看见的那个被固定在支架上的巨大ms之后会是什么表情,愕然,惊讶,不解这些通通都有。作为了吉翁的ms机师,而且是一个王牌机师即便是不懂技术上的东西,但却也能看见眼前这个还没有彻底完成的ms根本就是和扎古ii完全不一样的东西。CharsomewhatsurprisedlookedtoXiao Ran: „Is this?”夏亚有些惊讶的看向了萧然:“这是?”„Ourrebel organizationindependently developedms.”Xiao Ranalsolooked uptothiscodenameisAnaheim Electronics- MBF-M1 M1 Astray, said: „Before thisexpands the production , conducts the testing machine that the adjustmentmakesto the equipment, but alsocannot betriesto makemachine the degree, probablyseveraldayslatercanexpand the productionthento startmanufacturingto belong toace pilotspecial-purposerobot.”
“我们反抗组织自行研发的ms。”萧然同样抬头看向了这台代号为ae-的m1异端,开口说道:“这一台只是扩大生产之前对设备进行调节而生产出的试验机,还达不到试做机的程度,大概几天之后就可以扩大生产然后开始制造属于王牌级机师专用的机体了。”
The Charhear the meaning in Xiao Ranwords, in the heartissurprisedextremely: „Hesaidthissayingmeaning. could it bewassaid that theyhavetechnology that producedms, moreovercanproducespecial-purposerobotaccording todifferentpilot? Thisself-confidentappearance, it seems like that this robotshouldundergo the actual combattest, howdoes not know the performanceinperformanceto be able.”夏亚听出了萧然话语中的意思,心中更是惊讶万分:“他说这话的意思。难道是说他们早就已经拥有了生产ms的技术,而且还能根据不同的机师生产出专用的机体?这种自信的样子,看来这种机体应该是经过了实战测试的,就是不知道在性能方面的表现会怎样。”Xiao Ranhas not seen the expression on Charface, butactuallyseemed likeguessed correctlysuch that in the Charheart thought that withoutand otherCharaskedthenexplained the doubts in Charheartin advance, said: „The robot'sperformanceexceededZeon ArmyMS-06 Zaku IIcompletely, strives, flexibility, speed. MobilecomprehensivesteamrollpresentMS-06 Zaku II, isFederation conducts the mass productionsecretlyRGM-79 GM is also same.”萧然并没有看见夏亚脸上的表情,但却似乎是猜到了夏亚心中所想的那样,没等夏亚问出来便自己先行的解答了夏亚心中的疑惑,道:“机体的性能完全超越了吉翁军的扎古ii,出力,灵活性,速度。机动性全面碾压现在的扎古ii,就是联邦目前暗地里进行量产的吉姆也是一样。”„RGM-79 GM?” The Charknitting the browshead, in the hearthad/left a problem.
“吉姆?”夏亚皱了皱眉头,心中又多出了一个问题。ButXiao Rancontinues saying: „Aftersomespecial, moreoverdoes not useextremelytroublesomeadjusting/Coordinator, this robot in youreyehasbeforemepilotingthatGundamupfrontresistanceability. Butafter all is robot that mass production modeldesigns, manyaspectssimplifiedcompared withspecially-maderobot.”
而萧然则继续说道:“经过一些特别而且不用太过麻烦的调整,你眼中的这台机体就拥有和我之前所驾驶的那台高达正面对抗的能力。但毕竟是量产型而设计出来的机体,很多方面比起特制机体还是简化了很多。”„Is the words of specially-mademachine, inentireaspectcompletesteamrollEarth Federation ArmymanufacturedGundam.”Xiao Ransaidhere, turned the headto looktoChar: „HoweverbesidesthisSeriesrobot, wealsohasotherSeriesrobotalsoto stayabove the blueprintdoes not havemanufactured, butthrough the tests in variousaspectscomes to see, so long asstarts the mass production. Thendoes not needto pass throughanyadjusting/Coordinatorto investintobattle, thereforeweobtains the advantagein the high-endstrengthaspect, lackshas the ally of samedream.”
“不过是特制机的话,又将会在全方面完全碾压地球联邦军制造出来的高达。”萧然说道这里,转头看向了夏亚:“而除了这个系列的机体之外,我们还有其他系列的机体还停留在图纸之上并没有制造出来,但通过各方面的测试来看只要开始量产的话。那么就不用经过任何调整就可以投入到战斗之中,所以在高端力量方面我们已经得到了优势,缺少的只是有着相同梦想的战友而已。”Charshows a faint smile: „It seems like your organization is really is also short of manpowervery much.”夏亚微微一笑:“看来你们这个组织还真是很缺人。”„ThisaspectIdid not deny.”Xiao Ranshrugged, made a posture of invitationtoCharagain, receives personallyCharbefore, whilesaid: „In factis not short of manpowervery much, butis short of manpower, because some reasons of specialrelationscause the principal force that weorganizeto tie downbyothermatter, butis unable to come backto jointotemporarilyto the Earth Federation'saction, becausewefacenot onlyalwayspresentEarth Federation, actuallymustfacecurrentEarth Federation.”
“这方面我不否认。”萧然摊了摊手,再次对夏亚做了一个请的姿势,一边在前面领着夏亚,一边说道:“实际上不之是很缺人而是非常缺人,因为一些特殊关系的原因导致我们组织的主力部队被别的事情所缠住而暂时无法回来加入到对地球联邦的行动当中,因为我们面对的从来都不只是如今的地球联邦,却又必须面对目前的地球联邦。”„ThereforeIwill startto seek the cooperation in variousaspects, butyouareone of peopleIdesignate, to the Zabi Familycontradictioninalsoexiststo havein the Zeonaspectrevolts against the Zabi Familypersonto exist, has waited forthesepeople who Deikun Familyis standingagain, becauseyouwill standto becomeyourboost, in other wordswill also becomeourboosts.”
“所以我才会开始寻求各方面的合作,而你就是我选定的人之一,在目前吉翁方面内部对扎比家的矛盾中也存在有一些反抗扎比家的人存在,还有一直等待着戴肯家再次站起来的那些人们,都会因为你站出来而成为你的助力,换而言之也就会成为我们的助力。”„On the other hand, hassomepeople of high idealsinEarth Federation Army, thesepeople are also the objects who wewin over, theypilotingourrobot, becomeinnovatethisworldfinally, hero who takes tothisworldpeace.”Xiao Ranopened a leaf of officefront door before body, thenturned aroundto looktobehindChar: „Moreover, theywill also becomeopen of new times, come.”
“另一方面,在地球联邦军内部同样存在一些有志之士,这些人也是我们所拉拢的对象,他们最终将驾驶着我们的机体,成为变革这个世界,带给这个世界和平的英雄。”萧然推开了身前的一扇办公室大门,然后转身看向了身后的夏亚:“而且,他们也将成为新时代的开阔者,请进。”Charnods, enteredthiswithXiao Ransimplyto the extremeoffice, then andXiao Ransittingface-to-facein the two sides of desk, thissaid: „Sinceyouthought that IcansubvertcurrentZeon, moreovercanobtain the Earth Federation'shelpthroughmystatus, canlet the goal that Icomplete the revenge, whythis do Iwantto complyto cooperatewithyoualsojoinyou?”夏亚点了点头,跟着萧然走进了这间简单到了极点的办公室,然后便和萧然面对面的坐在了办公桌的两边,这才开口说道:“既然你觉得我可以颠覆目前的吉翁,而且还能够通过我的身份得到地球联邦的帮助,可以让我完成复仇的目的,这样的话我为什么又要答应和你合作并且加入你们?”„Becauseyouare unable to bring the truepeace, evenEarth Federationwill helpyouprocessZabi Family, butyou can only be a board game piecein their handsforever, object who rather thancancooperate.”Xiao Ranlooks atChar, smilingslightly: „Ithink that you should also be clear aboutthis pointvery much, butIam different, Iwill become the Earth Federationtrueleader, only thenIwill face up toat presentrelations between Earth and colony, andcanbring the truepeace.”
“因为你无法带来真正的和平,就算地球联邦会帮助你处理扎比家,可你在他们手中永远都只会是一个棋子,而不是一个可以合作的对象。”萧然看着夏亚,微微的笑着:“我想你也应该很清楚这一点,而我却不一样,我会成为地球联邦真正的领导者,也只有我会正视目前地球和殖民地之间的关系,并且可以带来真正的和平。”„Byyourpresentstrength?”Char by the chair, saidlightly: „Perhapsto the strength of Anaheim ElectronicsCorporation, is unable to supportyouto achievethatdegreeat present.”
“就以你们现在的力量?”夏亚靠在椅子上,淡淡说道:“以目前阿纳海姆公司的实力,恐怕无法支撑你做到那个程度。”„No, perhapsyouunderestimatedAnaheim ElectronicsCorporationto graspanythingthing, neglected the thing that our organizationgrasped.”Xiao Rannotanxiously not slowturned on the desktopcomputer, inserted a memory uniton the connection of computer, afteropeningcontentthenapproachedChar a computerscreenplane of rotation.
“不,你或许太小看阿纳海姆公司到底掌握了一些什么东西,也太忽视我们这个组织本身所掌握的东西。”萧然不急不慢的打开了桌面的电脑,紧接着在电脑的接口上插上了一个存储装置,在打开了其中的内容之后便将电脑屏幕一转面向了夏亚。„CurrentAnaheim ElectronicsCorporationindeedis unable to supportourtoo muchfrom the surface, butAnaheim ElectronicsCorporationactuallygraspsEarth Federation'sto be real. Butinmyhand, actuallygraspsis changing the this world'sthingsufficiently, onceannounced,perhapssupportedour people possiblenot only to limitinAnaheim ElectronicsCorporation, butcanbemorepeople.”( To be continued.)
“目前的阿纳海姆公司从表面来看的确无法支持我们太多,可阿纳海姆公司却掌握着地球联邦的真实。而我的手中,却掌握着足以改变这个世界的东西,一旦公布出来,恐怕支持我们的人可就不仅仅只限制于阿纳海姆公司,而会是更多的人。”(未完待续。)
