Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 635: Tearing (VI)

"Oh! Captain, this operating system is much more advanced than Minerva!"

Inside the bridge of the Nebula, the crew members of the former Minerva had already started to familiarize themselves with the operating system of the new battleship without even having time to change into their uniforms.

Although Orb generously provided them with single-family houses based on the standards for attracting talents, these people, led by Arthur, had no intention of visiting their new homes first and went straight on board.

"There's no one at home anyway, so going back is just going back. I can see with my own eyes that I will spend much more time on the Ni-Argama than at home in the days ahead, so this is home, it doesn't matter."

It has to be said that Arthur's attitude is also the voice of most people. Since the means of leaving PLANT were not glorious, the Orb government had to go through a series of behind-the-scenes deals to bring their families over from PLANT.

As for those family members who are reluctant to leave their homeland, Orb also hopes to reach an agreement with the Council on "relative visit pardons", at least to prevent these people from being captured by the PLANTs as soon as they set foot on their homeland.

"Captain, I never thought I would be able to return to the bridge one day."

"Arthur."

Looking at her first mate who had never been reliable but was gradually becoming independent, Kuratis wanted to say something but found that she could not say anything.

In the original timeline, since Minerva was sunk by Infinite Justice, and she was the "culprit" who died together with Durandal, Arthur and his group could be said to have reached the Compass with Lux very smoothly.

But now due to Siegfried's intervention, Minerva went from being sunk to surrendering, so it was only natural that everyone from the captain down would have to take the blame, especially the first mate, who was simply born to take the blame. So Arthur's previous sigh was not groundless. If it hadn't been for this incident, he would have been lucky to be able to drive a transport ship in his life.

When the crew members were 'packing their bags and checking in', Thiago had already touched the outer armor of the Judgment. However, after observing it carefully for a while, he cautiously told Hilde beside him a 'surprising' discovery.

"Why do I feel like this thing is a bit like a disaster?"

As one of the witnesses of JachinDue, Tiago even fought side by side with Jiang Kaili's genuine Disaster, so he noticed the lingering "sense of disaster" on Judgment at a glance, but it was a bit unreasonable to mention imitation in front of the designer, so his tone was so humble.

"Colonel. Major General's previous disaster ended the battle without any damage, and its main body color had long been changed to white."

"So this is a United MS? I, Tiago, am a man of integrity and I will never pilot something from the United MS!"

"Ah, but Storm is also united, right?"

Looking at the indignant Tiago, Hield made a buzzer-beater with a puzzled expression on his face, which directly killed the game.

"Gah???"

"Was that wrong?"

“Not really.”

Holding up her glasses with one hand, Hilde did not continue to kill the dejected person. After entering her professional field, her scientist instinct of being a teacher directly overwhelmed her sharp-tongued nature.

So she just tilted her head and continued, "The development of the machine did refer to some of the design concepts of the Disaster. It was mainly because the cost of developing and using the MA was too high, so we hoped to use the size of the MS to complete the firepower coverage of the MA. Oh, and it has a multiple locking system, so don't vomit."

“But he’s still united.”

"From the frame to the external armor to the weapons, everything is made in Orb. Even every screw is new. It's really troublesome."

Before Hilde could finish her words, Thiago jumped onto Judgment's chest in two or three steps and sat directly in the cockpit. After waiting for a while and realizing that the other party seemed unable to get out in a short time, Hilde turned around and waved. "What about you? You should be on the spaceship returning to PLANT by now. What's the matter that kept you here until now?"

Seeing the other party called his name, Nicol walked to the front with an embarrassed look on his face. After three years and two major battles, this piano boy had long lost his youthfulness. The two different auras of an artist and a soldier intertwined on his somewhat fragile face, which unexpectedly complemented each other.

"You said there were two MSs just now."

"Well, there is another one called the Lake Knight, but to be honest, that machine was originally used to support the queen wife of Idiot No. 1, so its design is very European, and its weapons are not very rich. If it is to be put into actual combat, it is a bit difficult. With the development of MS today, who would fight with you in close combat if you can kill with one shot?"

"If I say I want to join now, will it work?"

"Don't ask me, ask Mina. I'm only responsible for providing equipment. I don't want to know your mental journey."

"Sorry I was abrupt"

Among the second generation, Nicol had the deepest connection with Siegfried but had hardly ever met the siblings. When he accompanied Shiho to test-fly the Savior, he had the most contact with the Eclipse trio and Jiang Kelly, so for a moment he was embarrassed by Hilde's natural indifference, and a blush appeared on his fair face.

"But I still have a test plane here, and I haven't found a suitable pilot yet. If you can complete the test for me, maybe Mina will agree."

"Testing machine?"

Looking at Nicol's curious look, Hilde suddenly discovered that every one of these MS pilots, no matter whether they were impulsive or calm, slender or rugged by nature, would immediately enter a wonderful state of self-satisfaction as soon as they heard the three words "new machine".

"I really can't do anything about you. Here, MVF-X10, Heaven's Punishment, is the first MS equipped with the Dynesniff weapon system. It will also be a phenomenal MS that breaks the myth of the PS armor. I haven't found a suitable pilot yet. Give me a reply within three seconds. My time is precious."

"I do"

"Watch your words, married man."

“It’s not that willing.”

"Okay, report to Mina and don't bother me anymore."

After saying that, regardless of Nicol's stunned expression, Hilde simply left him and walked out. A few seconds later, Thiago jumped down from the Judgment, patted his friend's shoulder with some emotion, and looked helplessly in the direction where Hilde left.

"You'll get used to it. She means no harm. It's just that for her, people like us might really be wasting time if we talk for even one more second. Besides, her precious little brother hasn't woken up yet. If she doesn't blow up the earth, I think the big sister has a good temper."

"Siegfried hasn't yet."

"Hush, you know and I know."

Just as the two were whispering to each other, Hilde suddenly turned around and walked back, scaring Thiago so much that he choked and started hiccuping uncontrollably.

"Green-haired man, half of your life belongs to Siegfried, so don't die."

"belch?"
