Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 925 Meeting before the jump! (Update)

The meeting before the space battleship Yamato's first superluminal jump began after everyone arrived at the conference room.

After Okita Jusan's opening remarks, everyone raised their questions and opinions to each other. In such a cautious atmosphere of communication, He Ming and Belfast standing aside did not show much nervousness.

It's not surprising to say that.

He Ming and Belfast have long been accustomed to the feeling of jumping through the universe.

Compared to the people on the Yamato who were experiencing jumps for the first time, He Ming and Belfast's existence seemed somewhat out of place.

Fortunately, everyone has been continuously putting forward relevant opinions and corresponding measures based on the positions they are responsible for.

Only Okita Jusan was looking around. While watching his subordinates' conversation, he was also paying attention to the performance of He Ming and Belfast.

As one of the only two people on the Yamato who knew the truth, Okita Jusan knew that behind Belfast's beautiful face was the true identity of Sasha, the second princess of Iskandar.

In this way, no matter what the name is, neither Belfast will feel unfamiliar with the jump, or even panic.

"Second mate."

"Yes, Captain."

He Ming responded and stepped out, looking at Okita Jusan.

"Tell me what you think, Second Officer."

After hearing what Okita Jusan said, everyone who was communicating also turned their attention to the man who was directly appointed as the second mate by Okita Jusan as soon as he boarded the ship.

Especially when Okita Jusan gave He Ming the special power of pre-war action at the end of the commission order, it is inevitable that some people would be curious, inquire, and even question He Ming, a man who was not originally on the list.

Okita Jusan shouted like this naturally in order to allow He Ming to take the opportunity to integrate into this group.

The long journey of 336,000 light years, and the spaceship can only face the enemy's advance on board the space battleship Yamato. The mysterious unknown of the starry sky and any discordant sound from within will become the fatal factor that causes the space battleship Yamato to sink.

"Everyone, I am not a professional technician. I am not very clear about the principle of superluminal transition. Therefore, I will only express my opinion based on my personal understanding. I hope you don't mind."

As soon as He Ming finished speaking, Okita Jusan continued.

"It doesn't matter. None of us have ever experienced a superluminal jump, so any opinions can help us treat this first superluminal jump in human history as cautiously as possible."

He Ming and Okita Jusan sang in unison, subtly shifting everyone's attention to the issue of superluminal transition.

"I believe in the abilities of all of you who built this battleship and successfully launched it. I also believe that the performance of this space battleship Yamato will surely lead us through the endless starry sky and reach the area where hope lies. However, humans have not yet fully understood the horror of the starry sky."

He Ming stepped forward and looked at Sanada Shiro, who seemed to have understood what He Ming meant and switched the screen under everyone's feet back to the overhead view of the solar system.

Then, when He Ming's footsteps stopped on Jupiter, the overhead view was further enlarged and stopped on Jupiter.

"Jupiter. Second mate, although this is the first superluminal jump of the Yamato, we have already set the data related to Jupiter in the system, and will not let the Yamato crash into Jupiter." "Of course I know this. However, the astronomical data related to the solar system that humans currently have is from the period before the war with Gamiras. During the war, Gamiras used extreme means such as meteor bombs and planet bombs to destroy the surface astronomical observation facilities on the earth. Since then, humans have almost lost the means to continuously observe the solar system and the surrounding starry sky."

He Ming's words made Sanada Shiro stunned for a moment.

As the chief technical officer of the space battleship Yamato, he quickly understood what was being conveyed.

"Captain, I suggest challenging the distance of this superluminal jump."

Okita Jusan, who was watching the entire question-and-answer session between He Ming and Sanada Shiro, nodded slowly.

"reason."

"Yes! Just as the second mate said, the astronomical data we currently have is only from the period when the astronomical observation facilities on the earth's surface were still operational. Although I don't want to admit it, these astronomical data are likely outdated."

"According to the Second Officer's reminder, I have reason to assume and believe that after Gamiras invaded the solar system and destroyed our Earth's space fleet, it only stayed on Pluto and dropped meteor bombs and wandering planet bombs on Earth."

Shiro Sanada took two steps forward and stood on both sides of the photo of Jupiter, one on the left and one on the right, with He Ming.

"Presumably, while we were dealing with the meteor bombs and the planet bombs and were busy dealing with them, Gamilas had probably secretly hidden something on Jupiter. And these things are likely to cause some subtle changes in Jupiter's gravity environment."

"And if we, who are completely unaware of these changes, were to directly allow the Yamato to conduct an experiment of a superluminal jump from Mars to Pluto, I'm afraid something uncontrollable would happen."

After saying that, Shiro Sanada looked at He Ming and nodded slightly.

He Ming smiled slightly and took over the topic.

"I suggest that the Yamato's first superluminal jump test should be shortened to between Mars and Jupiter, and after the superluminal jump is completed, Jupiter should be searched immediately to find out as much as possible about the arrangements that Gamilas secretly arranged on Jupiter."

After He Ming and Sanada Shiro finished speaking, everyone exchanged glances and then looked at Okita Jusan.

But Okita Jusan did not respond. Instead, he looked at the woman in a blue uniform, who was a member of the technical department and the chief of intelligence, with shoulder-length hair, glasses, and a pretty face - Niimi Kaoru.

"Intelligence Chief. Is the weapon developed by the Technical Department operational?"

In response, Kaoru Niimi stepped forward and began to explain the new weapon that had been developed - the wave-wave cannon - according to Okita Jusan's request.

"We have completed the development of a new type of weapon that uses the enormous energy of the wave engine and has successfully installed it on the bow of the Yamato."

"As the deputy captain and the second mate said, if there are facilities on Jupiter that Gamiras has secretly set up to target the Earth, perhaps such weapons can be used."

Following Niimi Kaoru's introduction, everyone was surprised and curious, but more of them found the theory of the development of the wave motion gun obscure and difficult to understand.

But He Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart.

"Finally, I have the chance to witness the might of the Wave-Motion Cannon when it is fired."
