Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 930 Broken Continent, Dark Forest!
"Enemy ship! Sink it! There is no enemy in the radar range!"

After hearing Mori Xue's report, Okita Jusan immediately stood up.

"Leave the floating continent immediately! Notify Chengying to fly with you, and be alert to the surrounding situation!"

"Yes! Full left rudder, speed up both sides, and leave the floating continent!"

"Chengying, accompany me in the flight and be alert to the surroundings!"

Shima Daisuke and Mori Yuki completed Okita Jusan's order almost at the same time.

While Chengying was circling the Yamato, He Ming was also observing every move of the Yamato.

"A huge high-energy reaction has been detected! The Yamato is concentrating most of its energy on the wave-wave cannon."

Belfast in the back looked with twinkling eyes at the space battleship Yamato which was accelerating away from the floating continent and entering the predetermined shooting position.

As the mental core of the Sea Fog battleship, Belfast is naturally interested in various types of battleship main guns.

Not long ago, Belfast asked He Ming why he chose to board the Yamato instead of traveling on the accompanying Sea Mist battleship.

And one of the answers to this question is about to happen before our eyes.

While the two were watching the Yamato's every move, the people on the first bridge of the Yamato were also strictly following the combat manual and going through the entire firing process of the wave motion gun. Then, finally, at the order of Okita Jusan, the wave motion gun was fired!
In an instant, the light around the Yamato and Chengying dimmed, and then was filled with dazzling light that erupted at the moment the wave-wave cannon was fired.

The distance of 23,000 kilometers is just a moment.

The moment the wave cannon, which was showing its might for the first time and had demonstrated its terrifying killing power, suddenly bombarded the floating continent that was equivalent to the size of Australia, the continent suddenly shattered.

Even though it has a vast land area as big as Australia, it still cannot withstand this terrifying wave cannon for even a minute.

At this moment, it was like divine punishment had come, like the world was being destroyed.

The atmosphere lingering above the floating continent was shattered, the mountains collapsed in an instant, and even the supply base hidden deep in the floating continent, which served as the support point for the Gamilas army's invasion of the solar system, was destroyed in an instant.

Laletta, who had just said that he could deal with the Yamato with three destroyers and a heavy cruiser, was terrified by the shock caused by the wave-wave cannon destroying the continent, and kept making anxious cries.

But unfortunately, no one responded to her scream.

Until she and the supply base she was in charge of suddenly collapsed along with the floating continent, becoming the second flaming "eye of the storm" in Jupiter's atmosphere.

"Is this the Yamato's wave motion cannon?"

Belfast let out an exclamation, with a probing gleam in his eyes.

When the light filtering layer formed by the split feathers was removed from the cockpit, He Ming also heard Belfast's sigh.

"Are you excited?"

"Yes, Admiral. If we can obtain this technology, the strength of our Sea Mist Fleet may be greatly improved. Of course, I don't dislike the supergravity cannon and MACROSS cannon we have now. But as a strategic means, the addition of the wave motion cannon has more advantages than disadvantages."

After Belfast finished speaking, there was a brief silence, and then she spoke.

"Sorry! My lord, Miss Sasha seems to have something to say to you."

"Yes! I'll let Chengying return to the Yamato later."

The next second, as the light dimmed, Belfast and Sasha completed the exchange.

"You, you guys, actually made a wave motion cannon?"

The moment Sasha woke up, she was shocked by the huge fireball in front of her that was as big as a planet.

"Just now, when I was sleeping, I felt a terrifying force. I didn't expect it was the force caused by the wave motion cannon."

Sasha looked shocked and sad. She didn't seem to be happy that humans had created a weapon that could compete with Gamiras. Instead, the sadness on her face became more and more obvious. "Adino, connect to the first bridge."

He Ming did not explain anything, but asked Adino to silently connect to the communication of the first bridge.

The moment the call was connected, he and Sasha heard exclamations and questions coming from the first bridge.

The exclamation was naturally the sound of surprise from Yasuo Nanbu when his floating continent was shattered by a single blow from the wave-wave cannon.

The doubts came from Shiro Sanada, one of the people in charge of the development and manufacture of the wave motion cannon.

He seemed to be shocked by the terrifying destructive power of the wave cannon, but he was able to remain calm and pointed out that the power of the wave cannon currently possessed had exceeded their expectations and their plan to only destroy the supply base, resulting in the entire floating continent being destroyed on the spot.

Faced with such a result, although everyone was confused, and some even felt that there was something wrong with this power, everyone remained silent and looked at Okita Jusan.

While in the video, Sasha also heard the conversation from the first bridge.

Her eyes were sad, her lips trembled slightly, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He Ming saw Sasha's appearance through the rearview mirror hanging on the cockpit cover, and knew in his heart that Sasha might have wavered in the idea of ​​sending the wave core to humans.

"Our purpose is not to annihilate the enemy. The weapons on the Yamato exist only for self-defense."

At this time, Okita Jusan's voice came from the communication.

Then, the First Bridge fell silent.

The wave-wave cannon showed its power for the first time, but the surging emotions in the hearts of the people who witnessed that horrifying scene could not be calmed for a long time.

"Ms. Sasha. Have you ever heard a story?"

Sasha tightened her hands slightly, hesitating whether to speak, when she suddenly heard He Ming's question.

"grown ups."

Sasha was silent for a moment, she seemed to realize what He Ming meant.

"please say."

Chengying turned around and headed back to the Yamato, and He Ming's voice sounded again.

"If you are in a dark forest, without any weapon in your hand, and you are injured and bleeding. At the same time, in the surrounding bushes devoid of any light and swallowed by darkness, there are enemies hiding who want to injure and kill you. What should you do?"

Sasha was silent again.

She realized where He Ming's question was pointing, but there was always only one answer.

"escape."

"So, at this moment, you find that there is a weapon in front of you on the right that is powerful enough to kill the enemy, and in front of you on the left is a road full of darkness and unknown dangers, and you don't know if you can escape from it if you are seriously injured. You can only choose one of the two."

"Then, Ms. Sasha, what should you do? Should you run away with your injuries, or take up arms and face the enemy hiding in the darkness to fight for the last glimmer of life?"

This is the most famous little story in He Ming's memory.

A short story called "Dark Forest".

Of course, what He Ming is telling at this moment is not the whole story. He Ming made some modifications based on the current situation.

But, overall, the effect is still there.

Until Chengying returned to the Yamato, Sasha handed over control of her body to Belfast and fell into a deep sleep without saying a word, or perhaps she was thinking.
