After seeing off Daigo and Rena, Shen Yun got busy again.

Following the decision to reorganize GUTS, the upgrading of GUTS weapons and equipment for the next phase was also put on the agenda.

The technology used in the Victory Swallow series of fighters is outdated and no longer suitable as GUTS fighters.

Of course, this does not mean that the Victory Flying Swallow series of fighter jets will be phased out. The superior performance of the Victory Flying Swallow series of fighter jets will still allow them to remain active in the second line of operations.

Project Divine Eagle, a plan to develop new mobile suits by combining the basic data accumulated by the Victory Flying Swallow with the EX-J's separation and combination function, was born.

However, before the Shenying Project could be developed, members of the Baicun team made further modifications to the Shengli Feiyan-1.

Reiko Kashiwamura believes that even if the development of the new aircraft for Project Shin'yō goes smoothly, it will take time for them to be widely deployed and equipped around the world. In order to effectively utilize Victory Hien-1 as a link for Earth's defense before the new aircraft becomes widespread, she plans to upgrade the existing Victory Hien-1 to the final version.

This was also the last mission for the Baicun team.

Shen Yun didn't get involved; instead, he was trying to find a way to modify the mechanical Golza.

Although the mechanical Golza was shattered by Gatanothor, Shen Yun still managed to salvage its remains.

“I remember there was a Mechagodzilla that could combine with other machines, right? Anyway, this Mechagodzilla has already been destroyed, so why not modify it according to that Mechagodzilla that can combine with other machines?” Shen Yun stroked his chin and said.

As for Saber Athena...

This mech is basically obsolete.

Or rather, all the Jaegers in the Pacific Rim series will be phased out.

After all, Earth is about to face the threat of Sphia.

If these mechs were to merge with Sphia, wouldn't that be the end of them?
Especially the Saber Athena, whose internal structure is made entirely of the flesh and blood of Ligadron.

If Saber Athena were to encounter Sphia, she would likely be possessed by Sphia in no time and become a formidable enemy.

As for the mechanical Golza, it can provide all-around firepower coverage, preventing the Sphia Sphere from getting close.

Furthermore, Mech Golza also has a split mode, which can completely circumvent this issue.

"King Joe's splitting and combining technology is quite good; I feel it can be used on the mechanical Golza," Shen Yun said.

King Joe's ability to disintegrate and reassemble in an instant is simply too superhuman.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was 2014.

That year, Dr. Rui Kisaragi, head of the Future Research Center, further developed the New Maxima theory into the Neo Maxima Over Drive theory and published it.

This technology is expected to be a crucial new navigation method in the new field plan.

According to Kisaragi Namida's theory, the new Magus propulsion system can extract energy more efficiently than the old Magus system. Although it cannot achieve the speed of light with zero-drive propulsion, it can theoretically get very close to the speed of light.

In the same year, TPC's new base was also fully completed.

After the new base was completed, Shen Yun personally went to inspect it. After confirming that there were no problems, the entire TPC headquarters was moved to the new base, while the old Far East headquarters became the TPC Air Command. Some floors were opened to the public as a memorial hall, hoping that future generations would remember that era of fierce battles.

After the TPC headquarters relocated, several high-level meetings were held, and the TPC reorganization plan was approved.

The TPC was further expanded, and each department established an office with a chief of staff, who was appointed by Kihachi Gondo, Joji Miyata, and Sakeko Shiina.

At the same time, Staff Officer Nan Yuan was promoted to head of the West Asia branch.

The position of police chief was abolished, and Yoshioka, as an advisor to the police department, went to the South American and African branches, which were not yet fully prepared for combat, to provide guidance.

GUTS has officially disbanded, and the new team SGUTS has been officially created.

The former GUTS members have all been promoted to various departments of TPC.

Captain Megumi became an intelligence agency staff officer, while Vice Captain Munakata was transferred to the West Asia branch to become an instructor at the TPC training school.

Shinjo was supposed to become a staff officer for the Space Development Agency, but he refused the transfer and chose to become a member of Romulus 3, carrying out planetary exploration missions with Jin Shirosaki and Kiyoto Inui from the Space Development Agency.

Horii became an advisor to the Science Development Bureau headquarters, while Nozue became the project director of the Integrated Computer Technology Agency, mainly focusing on weapons development and assisting in the construction of space battleships.

However, on the eve of GUTS's disbandment, Horii took the initiative to submit a report on the improvement of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 to Shen Yun.

That is, the possibility of replacing the Victory Flying Swallow series aircraft with the new Magus power system.

As the genius scientist of the GUTS team, Horii had naturally heard of TPC's Project Dinosaur.

Out of affection for the Victory Flying Swallow, Horii refurbished and modified one of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1s.

Horii removed the Space Engine from the Victory Flying Swallow and replaced it with the smaller Magus Propulsion System.

Due to the limited power of the miniaturized new Magus propulsion system mounted on the wings, the flight speed of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 in the atmosphere was not significantly improved. Considering the cost of the replacement, Shen Yun had no choice but to send Horii's report back.

“GUTS has disbanded too.” In the office, Shen Yun picked up a photo placed on the table, looking quite wistful.

This is a group photo they took on the deck of the Atlas.

In the photo, everyone has a bright smile.

These familiar faces have all left or been transferred, making it difficult for them to get together again.

Shen Yun finally understood the feelings of Prime Minister Cao, who lamented the passing of his old friends, like leaves falling in the wind.

Shen Yun is a very sentimental person. Although he knows that it is normal for GUTS to disband and form SGUTS, which is more suitable for the new era, he still feels a little uneasy.

"Sigh, let's get back to work." Shen Yun put down the photo frame, stopped wallowing in her melancholy, and threw herself back into her duties as director.

"Hmm? Director Baicun's research team is also being disbanded?" Upon seeing Baicun Lingzi's transfer request, Shen Yun did not hesitate too much and immediately agreed to the transfer request.

After all, the Victory Swallow System was the brainchild of Reiko Kashiwamura, and to have it eliminated by the times like this, she, as the developer, must be feeling terrible.

After receiving Shen Yun's approval, Reiko Kashiwamura immediately distributed the modification design drawings of Victory Swallow Zero to relevant TPC organizations.

Afterwards, Reiko Kashiwamura disbanded her research team. Some of the members joined Project Dinosaur to develop new mechs, while the rest went on to work in other fields, continuing to contribute to human scientific research.

Upon receiving the modification blueprints, the TPC branches in various countries immediately converted almost all of their existing Victory Swallow No. 1 aircraft into Victory Swallow No. 0 aircraft. At the same time, they produced 50 Victory Swallow No. 0 aircraft as auxiliary combat forces for regions that had not yet fully formed combat capability.

The training machines used at the TPC Training School were also the Victory Swallow Zero. (End of Chapter)
