"Wow!" Through the main screen of the bridge, the sixteen-year-old Hathaway stared at the faintly visible planet in the distance, his mouth closed in surprise, "It really only took a moment to return to the moon, Jie. sir!"
"It's amazing, it just makes me tired." As a jumper, Jeduo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The trial version has too high requirements for users, I really hope that Dr. Lingos will be able to make it official. It's good to have it published."
"But if the user's requirements are not high, Mr. Jeduo, who has the talent of jumping, finally has no chance to try it, right?" Hathaway turned to face Jedo, "The boson jumping device has not been put into mass production. , if there are no restrictions on use, it should be all allocated to the regular army and big financial groups, and there is no way that civilian mining ships like ours will turn."
"That's not necessarily true." Jeduo grinned and let out a malicious laugh, "The trial version of the boson jumping device and the MS on this ship are all from Miss Serra looking for Dr. Lingos. As for the What is the process of the transaction inside, hehe, I don't know. Think about how much these things add up to, how can I, a miner on Jupiter, have the face to speak in front of Dr. Lingos ?"
"I think you're thinking too much, Mr. Jeddo. Ms. Serra and the Doctor must be nothing. After all, the Doctor's family..." Hathaway scratched his head and tried to find a suitable word. "It's very strict?"
Jeduo imagined it for a while, and couldn't help grinning: "I'd better pick up the trash happily."
After the launch of the Wheel of Angels project, the government fully liberalized Jupiter mining licenses for private individuals. In exchange for a mining license, the excavated tulip crystals will be forcibly recovered by the government at a reasonable price. And Jedo Asita, a good young man who just turned 23 this year, is one of the few people who has obtained a mining license.
The trial version of the boson jumping device used on Jedo's mining ship is a derivative product developed by Dr. Lingos when he built the Angel's Wheel. It has strong functional limitations and high requirements for users, so it is only manufactured. several. With Serra's relationship and his own talent, Jeddo was lucky enough to get one.
After the private mining of Jupiter was released, ordinary people finally knew what the Jupiter fossils were lying in front of the PLANT Supreme Council. The popularity of the concept of BETA, coupled with the official media propaganda of the apostles as aliens invading the earth, the related complaints on the Internet about the wheel of angels are also disappearing.
"I'm going to have a good rest after this trip. It just so happens that you are starting school." Jeduo patted Hathaway's shoulder hard, "You are assertive, literate, and MS driving skills are good. Excellent NewType is rare, but unfortunately you have to go back to the army with your father."
"No, I told my father that I won't join A-Laws." Hathaway waved his hand quickly, "No one stipulates that children of soldiers must be soldiers, the president's must still be the president, and the children of congressmen must be A congressman, right? It’s better to say that a world with stagnant water is really hopeless, just thinking about it makes you suffocate.”
Jeduo's eyes lit up: "Do you want to consider working with me after graduation? Dr. Lingos will one day come up with an official version of the boson jumping device, and then I must drive this Shangri-La to the destination. Look outside the solar system!"
"I haven't figured it out yet. I always wanted to learn botany, but now I think that novel minerals like tulip crystals in the universe are also very interesting. Is it a little bit to make a decision now..." Hathaway stared at Jedo. Xia couldn't help looking away and changing the subject, "By the way, Mr. Jeduo, the beautiful lady I saw last year didn't come with us this time."
"You said Lu? We broke up last month and were dumped mercilessly." When he mentioned this topic, Jeduo instantly became dejected, "Hehe, no matter how romantic a woman is at the beginning, she will eventually become a snobby. In this world, only a younger sister can warm people's hearts. Hathaway, you also have a younger sister, you must understand what I am talking about, right?"
"Not necessarily, Audrey is fine, it's just..." Hathaway recalled the past with Audrey over the years, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, "It's just that she may not like me very much, she always feels that She seems to already have someone she likes..."
"Daughter of Dr. Lingos' family? I've heard of it many times, but I've never seen it before. It is said to be beautiful? Beautiful is beautiful, you must know about feelings—" Jeduo was about to say something comforting and suddenly frowned. With a wrinkle, "NewType is approaching, or two? Bicha, did you find anything on the radar?"
"Jeduo, the big thing is bad!" Bicha, who served as CIC on the bridge, exclaimed at almost the same time, "The MS is approaching, and the identification signal is... ZAFT? What the hell? I tried to communicate, but the other party refused. answer!"
"In this direction... ZAFT ran out of the moon? What's the situation?" Jeduo made a decision immediately after scouting, "Immediately report the situation here to the space control center on the moon, and we will be ready to counterattack in case. just in case."
"Pru? Audrey?!" Hathaway finally sensed who was coming, and was stunned for a while.
"Report these two names as well, the moon knows what to do." Jedo gave Hathaway a worried look, "It seems that there will be no conflict, why don't we retreat? Dr. Lingos It's better that we don't get involved in family matters."
"No, the two of them ignore me, there must be something wrong!" Hathaway looked at him with burning eyes, "Mr. Jeddo, please lend me the F97!"
"...I knew it, so the NewType problem is really troublesome." Jeduo covered his face with one hand, "F97 was borrowed by the eldest sister from Dr. Lingos, and you will be responsible for compensation if you break it. The stuff is so expensive, I can't afford it."
…
"Minerva, what should I do?" Pru looked at the girl who didn't say a word. "Hathaway has been following us, so the connection point will be exposed."
"I really don't want to involve him, it will only make it more troublesome." Minerva thought for a moment, "What is the success rate of catching him alive?"
"I think about it," Pru tilted her head, "F97 is a special machine designed by Uncle Ed based on the Jupiter environment, and Kshatriya has just been upgraded. From the MS point of view, we take advantage. But Hathaway The technology is very strong, and I have no advantage under the same conditions. So considering the above two points, um~~~~~~ I don't know."
"Then try it first, I will be responsible for interfering with him with words, and it is ideal to be able to win without a fight." Minerva frowned slightly, "I have involved you in the affair between me and Uncle Ed. It's not what I want, and the scale of the situation must be controlled as much as possible."
"Control the scale of the situation?" Pru burst out laughing, seeing the expression of the girl beside him and forcibly holding back, "I think, Minerva, you may have made a lot of trouble..."
"Is there? I'm just trying to correct my future identity in advance, and by the way, to wake up a man who is used to deceiving himself before the wheel of angels starts, and cause trouble or cause death and injury to him, which seriously reduces his favorability. I will never do stupid things." Minerva snorted sullenly, "Don't take me for that crazy woman Lux, you know that she has lost the right to go out with her husband now. How failed people are."
"Uh, Minerva, you look so creepy." Pru shuddered, "Well, did you ever think that Uncle Ed might prefer cherub-type girls? Look, you said that too. Sister An Qi is the most popular with him. And you always pretended to be innocent and cute when you were young, so maybe what he liked was actually you at that time?"
"He has to face reality before he can accept it, not to mention... eh?" Minerva's tone changed, "He likes innocent, cute little angel-type girls, Pru, you're implying that in this cockpit Someone other than me?"
"Ah, here again, I shouldn't be talking to you about this!" Pru puffed up her cheeks unhappily, "Hathaway, I'm sorry, eat my floating cannon!"
Kshatriya, like a giant green pepper, turned to face the visitor and spread out the four wings on its shoulders. Each wing contained six floating cannons, a total of twenty-four floating cannons, and rushed towards F97 aggressively. . For a while, the beams flew in the sky, and the originally dark universe was illuminated.
It is a pity that so many floating cannons did not stop the F97 from rushing forward. The dazzling particle beams hit the cloak-like equipment on the surface of the fuselage, and did not cause any damage to the fuselage itself. Although F97 could not avoid such a dense burst of fire, it still steadily and continuously shortened the distance from Kshatriya.
"Anti-beam cloak? It's actually already installed?" Minerva suddenly gnashed his teeth, "It's really too much to have time to make such a small toy and not have time to accompany me."
"Ahem, Minerva?" Pru interrupted her carefully, "F97 is very capable of fighting, and I'm still with you here. If you get close, you might not be able to beat him."
Before Minerva could speak, F97 had already rushed to Kshatriya. The huge cross-shaped thruster with a strange shape on the back of the fuselage rotated a subtle angle, allowing it to avoid Kshatriya's chest at the critical moment. A cluster shot of a burst of mega particle cannons. The beam saber, which was obviously a circle larger than the others, smashed into the I position around Kshatriya, and at the moment when the latter's folded arm hidden in the shoulder armor unfolded, he pulled away and retreated, dodging the nearby enemy. slash.
"Look at him, Minerva, look at him!" Pru, who missed the sneak attack, slapped the control panel in front of him in dissatisfaction, "He kept saying that he wanted to be a botanist, how can there be any botanist in this? like?"
"I'll do it." Minerva said decisively before F97 launched the next attack, "Hathaway, it's me."
"Sure enough, it's Audrey! It's Pru with you, right?" F97 abruptly stopped his forward momentum and froze in place, Hathaway's shocked voice sounded on the channel, "You and Pru Why did Lu appear here with ZAFT's MS? Why did you just ignore my communication request and attack me without any explanation? What the hell happened?"
"It's a bit troublesome to explain. We attacked you so as not to get you into trouble." Minerva looked down at the radar. There were no other pursuers except F91, but it was only temporary. She had to fight quickly. "First to correct you, I'm not Audrey Lingus anymore. My name is Minerva Law Zabi now, and that's my real name."
"Have you quarreled with the doctor?" Hathaway's first reaction was not unexpected, it is better to say that this is the reaction of a normal person, "Isn't it good to talk frankly between father and daughter, why do you want to get divorced? Running away from home?"
Between father and daughter, running away from home, Minerva's face became extremely depressed when she heard these two words: "This is the biggest reason."
"What did you say?" Hathaway asked in confusion, "I didn't hear clearly, what's the biggest reason?"
"Ha..." Minerva sighed solemnly against Pru's slightly teasing slanted eyes, "Hathaway, do you know the function of the angel's wheel?"
"I know." Hathaway replied without thinking. He was also the eldest son of Commander Brett Noah, and it was normal to be exposed to this level of secrets. "On the surface, it is an armed fortress, but in fact It exists as the last ark of mankind. Once there is an enemy that even Dr. Lingos can't deal with, the selected survivors will ride the wheel of angels and abandon the earth to escape alone."
"Do you accept this approach?" Minerva asked.
"The practice of giving up most of the human beings to save a small part of fire seems very cruel at first glance, but it is generally for the extreme rationality of all mankind. If this is the doctor's decision, I understand him." Hathaway responded calmly. Said, "The only dissatisfaction is to sell the precious dormant capsule on the wheel of angels to the dignitaries at a high price, but in exchange for sufficient funds, this is also impossible. And according to my understanding of the doctor, if it really comes to the last minute He will definitely turn his back and let the truly valuable people live."
"Uncle Ed is indeed such a person." Minerva smiled involuntarily, "but it seems that Uncle Bright didn't tell you the truth either."
"The truth?" Hathaway was startled. He and Minerva were both NewTypes, which meant that Minerva would not be able to fool him with the fabricated lies.
"Those dormant pods aren't for survivors as you think, they're the only ones for NewType." Minerva narrowed his eyes, "Once the tulip crystal reactor of the Wheel of Angels goes under power due to lack of raw materials. , the NewType will be plugged into the dormant chamber as a battery, and a technology called GN-Drive will be used to extract energy from the NT's spiritual resonance."
The cockpit of the F97 fell into silence, and Hathaway felt that his brain was a little out of control, but Minerva didn't stop because of it.
"Then why do you need so much energy? I just happened to hear from Uncle Ed the other day about the purpose of the 'real' angel's wheel." Minerva twisted Pru's face, because the latter actually He also stared at her with his mouth open and shocked, "The 'real' angel wheel can greatly increase the mental ability of a NewType at the core, so as to achieve the purpose of brainwashing all mankind."
"And Dr. Lingos is the NT at the core, and only a powerful NT like him can take on this important task." Hathaway murmured to take over, "As long as all human beings are brainwashed, absolute absoluteness can be achieved. Peace, only in this way can all the productive forces be used to develop technology, and only in this way can we have a chance to survive in the face of various crises in the universe in the future, at the cost of giving up all human free will..."
"Hathaway, you are really smart." Minerva raised the corner of his mouth proudly, "Uncle Ed called this plan - the destiny plan."
