Chapter 684 Let’s Play!
"Boom~!"
"Ugh~!" The violent tremor almost made Rebil fall down. He quickly held the command platform and stabilized his body. "Report the situation!"
"The Legion fleet lost 38%, and the Federation fleet lost 55%..."
"The absolute defense line was breached in many places, and a MS team has gone to pursue..."
"The No. 1 Death Omen Cannon was corroded and the disintegration procedure is being executed..."
"The surface of this ship has been corroded by 21%..."
"What about Yang Hui and the others!" Rebil asked anxiously. No tactics were needed now. The defense line had been completely breached. The entire battlefield was in chaos, and the enemy and us were intertwined. Even the [Tenjin] in the rear was corroded by ELS. One of the Death Omen Cannons was lost, and the two Genesis had activated the self-destruction program ten minutes ago, taking away countless ELS.
But... it was still not enough.
According to VEDA's records, the number of ELS destroyed was already an astronomical number, but was the number they destroyed one-tenth of the number that still existed? I don't know, and Rebil doesn't want to know. He just wants to know what's going on with Yang Hui now? Has Setsuna entered? Did the conversation start? What was the result of the conversation! ?
"The general replied that OOq has entered the main planet of ELS and asked us to hold on!"
"No need for him to say these nonsense! The rear guard fleet protects [Tianren], the front-line fleet retreats 1,000 kilometers and strictly guards the defense line, and the MS troops pursue the ELS that breaks through the final defense line. Not a single one is allowed to land on the earth! Everyone, our victory is coming soon, and we must hold on!"
"What... is that?"
The enthusiasm turned into astonishment at this time. The phenomenon in front of them was not something they could understand at this time.
The ELS, which was still advancing bravely just now, suddenly turned around and returned to the direction of the main planet and the two satellites.
The two satellites that were already facing the fleet at close range turned into two huge and white Tyrelia flowers, which are the national flowers of Azadistan, symbolizing peace and mutual understanding.
The main star has now turned into a towering tree, as if it supports the entire universe. Its vibrant branches and leaves sparkle with metallic brilliance, and its roots are connected to the two teams of giant Terrelia flowers. There is also a steady stream of ELS gathering towards them and merging into their bodies.
"This is... hehe... hahahaha!" Rebil laughed, slumped back in the commander-in-chief's chair, relaxed and lost the strength to stand, "Success, they succeeded, notify the entire fleet, we... won!"
"Oh~!!!!!!"
The living people, looking at the giant tree and Terrelia flowers in front of them, are all glad that they survived, and at the same time feel the kindness and warmth from the two flowers and a tree. Some of the people who are still floating in the universe but still alive are found one by one by ELS, and are not eroded, but sent back to the nearest warship.
At this moment, everyone knows that it is so difficult, but also so simple, for two different ethnic groups and two different civilizations to understand each other at this moment.
…
“Hmm! It’s really… life is hanging by a thread.” At this time, the Dawn Gundam was already in tatters, with its right hand and left leg missing, and its wings turned into sieves.
Like him, there were Graham, Neil, Lyle, Allelujah, Tieria, Kira, Aslan, Cruze… all the machines had lost their ability to fight.
VPS armor, GN stand, and anti-beam nano armor almost gave the machine invincible defense, but these defense methods were all limited. They could withstand ten attacks, but what about a hundred? A thousand? Not to mention that ELS also had the ability to corrode.
The two-hour battle was definitely the shortest among all the large-scale battles they had experienced, but it was also the most dangerous battle. There was no need to worry about stray bullets, because there were stray bullets everywhere, and there was no need to look for enemies, because they were surrounded by enemies. A random shot could kill several enemies.
They have been maintaining a high-intensity state of concentration. Their brains are always warning them that they may die in the next second. In addition, there is interference from brain quantum waves, which makes Yang Hui and other brain quantum wave owners miserable. Even people with high spiritual attributes such as Kira and Aslan are very uncomfortable. In this case, fatigue will only increase exponentially.
They are not iron men, and even iron men will be melted.
Looking at this scene in front of them, they should have a will as strong as steel after hundreds of battles, but they also have an impulse to cry after surviving a disaster.
At this time, they can see with their naked eyes that the trunk of the giant tree has opened a hole, and the OOq Gundam flew out of it and nodded to everyone. The GN Super Floating Sword formed a circle in front of the OOq Gundam. The OOq Gundam passed through the green light curtain, and the GN Super Floating Sword followed closely and disappeared in front of everyone.
"This is it!"
Everyone had a guess in their mind, but... when this moment really happened, their hearts could only be described as shocking.
Quantum jump! The success of the jump technology, which is a necessary technology for deep space exploration in the true sense, means that mankind has truly entered the space age and is qualified to leave the solar system and explore the boundless universe.
"Haha...hahaha...old man, our plan is a perfect success! Hahahaha..." Even Yang Hui couldn't help but laugh excitedly at this moment.
The quantum jump system, a new technology envisioned by combining the characteristics of GN particles and transformers with the [Quantization System], is a cross-era technology. They didn't think it would succeed at first, but... it succeeded!
Regardless of whether the OOq Gundam is an isolated case, it succeeded as the first one and completed the process from 0 to 1, so... is the subsequent research and development still far away? Will popularization be far away?
Maybe, but it is definitely not a road without a goal.
Even if scientists can't figure it out, don't they still have the Promise Fortress?
"Well, the [Celestial Plan]... was a complete success, no, it was an overfulfillment!" Iolia Huchenberg appeared in the corner of the helmet of the driving suit. At this time, he was also very excited. His [Celestial Plan], the final result was just a successful conclusion of the dialogue with extraterrestrial civilizations and mutual understanding, and the success of the quantum jump system was an additional project. It was a common conjecture of elite scientists of [Celestial] such as Yang Hui, Professor Efman, and Mr. Wang. They didn't think it would succeed at the beginning.
And this success also means that mankind can enter the Age of Discovery two centuries ahead of schedule!
"But we have to go back first." After walking out of the cockpit and seeing the wreckage around, Yang Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head. Including the Dawn Gundam, all the pioneer machines were severely damaged, and even some of them could not be repaired. They were all like this. It was unknown how much the fleet and the defense line would lose. This time it was really a heavy loss.
First of all, the Promise Corps had exhausted all its hard-earned resources to build a fleet. The loss of a MS or a battleship was huge for the Promise Corps.
Secondly, the loss of personnel. In this war, countless people died, not to mention the Federation Fleet. Every member of the Promise Corps was an elite from each world. Elites were not cabbages on the street. One less person died, especially the ace-level pilots. Losing one was painful enough.
Finally, there is the solar furnace. There are 25 original solar furnaces in total, and only 4 are known to have been lost. The Angel of Destruction and the Angel of Hell each lost one, the Angel of Healing was completely destroyed, the Gundam of the Flag also lost one, and the solar furnace of the Gundam of the Providence was also destroyed. This is just the present. I don’t know if the fleet behind has it. You know, the cost of each solar furnace is super expensive. If you lose one, I don’t know how long it will take to save enough resources for the next one.
However... there is not no gain, and it is quite huge!
Not to mention the huge reward that will be obtained for completing the legion mission, reaching a mutual understanding with ELS, that is, they can get help from ELS. The characteristics of ELS can corrode, learn, and mimic all metal creations. For example, the damaged ace body on the scene does not need to be repaired or returned to Promise Fortress for reconstruction. Just ask ELS for help to restore it.
There is also the loss of personnel. The erosion of ELS does not mean that the person is dead, but the consciousness of the eroded person joins the consciousness network of the entire ELS group. In a sense, they have also achieved immortality. They only need ELS to make a body for them to be resurrected.
Of course, because the people who were shot after the ELS mimic MS and the battleship were definitely dead, there was no way to revive.
There was also a most important gain, that is Jupiter!
Without the threat of ELS, Jupiter was completely safe, so there was a safe environment for manufacturing solar furnaces, so that the solar furnaces would no longer consume the resources of Promise Fortress!
So, not counting the gains from the legion mission, comparing the losses with the gains, the gains were actually greater!
"By the way, did Setsuna go to the home planet of ELS?" Yang Hui asked Iolia Huchenberg.
"Well, consistent with the information you provided, the ELS's home planet is dying. These ELS in front of us are just one of the exploration fleets exploring the new home. In order to reach a complete understanding with the ELS, we must go to their home planet."
"Really? It's really hard work."
"This is his mission and the future he dreams of."
"Yes, but I don't know whether it will be carbon-based or silicon-based when I come back."
"You said that... I'm also looking forward to it."
"Okay, these are all later. We have to find a way to go back first." Yang Hui smiled helplessly. Their position is far away from the defense line. All the bodies have lost their ability to move. They can only wait for the rescue of the fleet in the rear, but... it's still a mess over there, and they are mixed in a lot of wreckage. The body can't even send out a distress signal. If Mephis hadn't announced his death and executed the hidden emergency order set at the beginning, they would have thought Yang Hui had died.
At this time, several small ELS came to Yang Hui and stopped, and the others did the same.
"Hello." A sweet voice like a child suddenly sounded in Yang Hui's mind.
"Are you talking to me?" Yang Hui looked at the ELS in front of him in surprise.
"Yes, I am talking. Your kind has communicated with us, so we have learned your language. However, the human body is so complicated that it cannot be completely mimicked, so it can only communicate with you through brain quantum waves? Is that what it is called? "
(PS: Diejia, here refers to the body that is exactly the same as that of humans, including internal organs, nervous system, etc. The mimic Levonz in the animation only has an appearance, and the inside is all metal, without a throat or anything, and it really can't speak, right?)
"Okay, what do you want to talk to me?"
"Say hello."
"Ah?" Yang Hui was completely embarrassed.
"Then I'll send you back, in case you can't go back."
"Uh, thank you." Yang Hui's mouth twitched, feeling... this ELS is quite natural, and looks silly, is it natural?
"Wait, we were fighting each other just now, and now you are so kind to us, is it really okay?" Yang Hui asked.
"Fighting? What is fighting?" The cone-shaped ELS in front of him turned slightly, and Yang Hui imagined the scene of tilting his head. Don't say it, it's quite cute!
"...What were you doing just now?" Of course, he didn't forget the business.
"Just now? Playing!"
"Puff~!!! As expected!"
