Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 920 The night before departure!

"Data identification completed! Matching started! Confirmed enemy ships: one Bolmeria-class assault space carrier and six DWG229 fighter-attack aircraft."

(Schematic diagram of the Bolmeria-class assault space carrier)
When the sound of enemy artillery fire rang out in the sky, the intelligent AI cube Adino, which maintained a mental link with He Ming, also completed the analysis and classification of He Ming's relevant information about Gamilas, which is also the fleet power possessed by the future enemy.

He Ming had just put down the telescope when he felt an itchy sensation on the side of his face. He turned his head and found that it was Xiaoying who was looking at him eagerly.

He Ming smiled gently, stretched out his finger and gently tapped Xiaoying's head.

"No rush! Now is not our chance to show up! They can handle these small battles."

Xiaoying blinked, nodded, and continued to sit obediently on He Ming's shoulder, looking at the red hills that were rumbling from the explosion.

"Arduino. How's the network going?"

"Yes! We have completed the preliminary analysis and are looking for the corresponding server. It is estimated that it will take 8 hours to confirm the core server in the Far East. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of physical isolation."

"It doesn't matter. Just proceed as planned."

"yes! 』

After asking, He Ming lost interest in continuing to watch the battle. After seeing the fireworks that burst out after the battleship disguised as wreckage turned its turret and fired a salvo of 480-caliber main guns at the Gamilas mothership that landed in the atmosphere, he turned back to the GN particle optical camouflage unfolded by Chengying, waiting for the moment for him and Chengying to attack.

The attempt against the Yamato came to an end when the last Gamiras fighter was shot down, and so did the setting sun that slowly sank into the horizon.

When tomorrow morning comes, it will be time to set sail on the long journey of 336,000 years.

I believe that tonight is a sleepless night for many people.

But these have nothing to do with He Ming.

Compared with Okita Jusan and Gudai Jin who are about to embark on a journey, He Ming, who knows all the subsequent developments, does not feel confused.

As time passed slowly, after gathering all the personnel, announcing the Yamato Plan, and appointing the responsible personnel, Okita Jusan returned to his room and packed his luggage.

On the way, Hijikata Ryu came to his room.

"I know why you came."

After closing the suitcase, Okita Jusan stood up straight and spoke.

"That makes it easier."

Hijikata Ryu walked into the room and said as he looked at Okita Jusan's back.

"Do you have to go anyway?"

"Yes."

"With your battered body?"

Faced with his friend's questions, Okita Jusan did not respond.

"I'm not blind! How long do you think we've known each other? Leave it to me! That's also a kind of courage."

Okita Jusan was silent for a moment.

"Sixteen eight thousand years may take my life, but I will go anyway! To Iskandar, and then return to Earth with hope!"

As he spoke, Okita Jusan turned around, his gaze unusually firm, just like when Hijikata Ryu and Okita Jusan first met in military school.

Hijikata Ryu sighed slowly.

"I understand. But if the golden bird appears, what should you do? We still don't know its identity. Even the headquarters has no information about the golden bird."

Okita Jusan was silent, then spoke.

"I believe in the golden bird. No matter what its origins are, its existence will be beneficial to mankind."

"Really? What on earth could make you believe in this unknown existence so much when you know nothing about it?"

Hijikata Ryu asked.

"No reason. It's just, intuition, my intuition." Okita Jusan's answer stunned Hijikata Ryu.

Then he laughed out loud.

“Hahahaha! You’re still the same! No matter how old you are, you always trust your instincts.”

Okita Jusan said in a deep voice.

"A journey of 168,000 light years one way and 336,000 light years round trip cannot be successfully completed relying solely on our human knowledge and technology. We have never set foot outside the solar system so far, and we know nothing about the dangers deep in the starry sky. Therefore, sometimes, I trust intuition more than knowledge and technology."

Facing his friend's serious face, Hijikata Ryu sighed.

He knew and understood his friend's determination.

Even though, at the moment, Okita Jusan can be said to be in a state of "a candle in the wind", it cannot stop his determination to embark on this journey.

"Well! If, if that golden bird really appears again as you and I guessed..."

"No. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Maybe the other party has already paved the way."

The time for the Yamato to set sail was gradually approaching.

All the crew members listed on the list arrived one after another, and no one was left behind.

However, the person in charge of the maintenance team received a strange order.

That is to ensure that the carrier-based aircraft are fully staffed and to dispatch enough and relatively independent space as much as possible.

Such a strange order, not to mention the maintenance team, even the shipping captain Mori Xue who was in charge of shipping felt a little puzzled.

"Everyone is on board, no one is left behind."

"Yes. Captain Moriyuki, do you have any questions?"

Okita Jusan could sense that his subordinates were confused.

"Yes! Captain. Actually, it's a problem from the maintenance squad."

Mori Xue hesitated for a moment, and finally repeated the problems reported by the maintenance team.

"Maybe I'm just too suspicious. Let's talk about it after we set sail!"

Unfortunately, Okita Jusan did not reveal his real purpose, but sent Mori Xue away with ambiguous reasons.

As the crew began to get familiar with their posts, the time to set sail arrived.

However, the bad news came even before the departure time.

Wandering star bomb!

The horrific weapon that pushed the Earth into the abyss of destruction was once again used by the Gamilas Army on Pluto to attack the Earth. Moreover, the target of this terrible planetary bomb was the Yamato which was about to set sail.

After the failure of the first round of attack, the Gamilas Army on Pluto activated the planetary bomb without hesitation.

It can be seen that he was determined to kill the Yamato.

But at this critical moment, the Yamato had just completed the installation of the wave core and had not yet completed the startup of the wave engine.

Facing the slowly rising morning light, in the valley that was once again blessed by the sun, He Ming stretched lazily and let out a long sigh.

"Ms. Sasha, are you ready? Next, it might be a little exciting."

Sasha Iskandar, who was sitting in the back driver's seat, smiled slightly.

"Yes. I am ready. Besides, Miss Belfast also said that she would do her best to protect my body."

"Well, it's our turn now!"
