Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 935: Who has the ability to predict the future?
Ever since Xiaoying's existence was made public, the female crew members on their shifts have been spending more and more time in the cafeteria.

Whenever Xiaoying is around, the cafeteria is always filled with laughter and joy, as well as exclamations of delight at how well behaved and cute Xiaoying is.

At the same time, Belfast, the head royal maid, completely conquered the person in charge of the dining hall and the crew members who came to eat during Xiaoying's stay in the dining hall.

Looking at the graceful and light figure that was at ease in the kitchen, the canteen manager almost rushed to He Ming and insisted on keeping Belfast in the canteen to help.

However, this idea was rejected by Belfast without leaving a trace.

As for how the canteen manager was depressed for a long time, that is another topic.

"Captain, since Xiaoying and Lieutenant Bell went to the cafeteria to help, the atmosphere on the ship has gradually become more lively. The crew's activity level has also improved to a certain extent."

Shiro Sanada mentioned this casually when he was taking over the post from Okita Jusan.

"Yeah. That's good news."

Okita Jusan nodded slowly.

During the long and distant journey, squeezed in the small cabin of the Yamato, and facing the threat of the Gamilas army that could attack at any time, the invisible pressure will continue to accumulate as the journey progresses.

If you are not careful, this invisible pressure may lead to a disaster.

The appearance of Xiaoying gave Okita Jusan the possibility of helping the female crew members of the Yamato to ease their emotions.

Judging from the current situation, the well-behaved and lovely Xiaoying has indeed completed her task excellently.

"That's true. In addition, the person in charge of the cafeteria seems to want Lieutenant Bell to stay in the cafeteria to help."

"Oh? I can't make the decision on that. As long as the second mate can release the person, I have no objection."

Okita Jusan actually knew what was going on.

When the Chief of Health/Ship Doctor Sado Shuzo invited him to drink, he brought some snacks made by Belfast himself.

Although Okita Jusan did not have any strict requirements for the dishes, the taste of the appetizers that time still left a very deep impression on him.

It was also the first time for Sado Sake Brewery to taste Belfast's craftsmanship and they were amazed at the delicious side dishes.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Sanada Shiro laughed.

It was just a coincidence that Xiaoying and Belfast went to the canteen to help.

Apart from that, there is the tacit understanding limit between Okita Jusan and He Ming.

"Deputy Captain, in six hours, gather the heads of all departments. We need to hold a meeting on actions to take before leaving the solar system."

Shiro Sanada's expression changed, and then he showed an understanding look.

"Yes! Captain."

Operation Pluto II.

This was one of the tasks assigned to the Yamato at the same time as the Yamato set sail, in accordance with the Yamato Plan.

However, in the Yamato Plan formulated by the League of Nations, the sailing schedule of the space battleship Yamato did not clearly state how long the Yamato would stay on Pluto.

Therefore, whether the Pluto II operation plan should be implemented or not is up to the Yamato to judge based on the actual situation.

Faced with this issue, people are basically divided into two camps.

Or in other words, they are two people with different opinions.

As the chief tactician, Gu Daojin demanded that the Pluto II operation plan must be implemented.

The reason is that for the safety and future of the Earth, the Gamilas Army on Pluto must be eliminated. However, under the questioning of Okita Jusan, Shima Daisuke, the navigator, chose to bypass Pluto and leave the solar system at full speed, arguing that the implementation of the Pluto II plan would extend the Yamato's voyage plan and might delay the mission.

Faced with two completely different choices, Okita Jusan turned his gaze to He Ming, who was leaning against the wall with no intention of speaking.

"Second mate. What do you think?"

He Ming blinked when he heard this.

"I?"

If He Ming remembered correctly, no matter what route they chose for the next voyage, they would not be able to avoid Saturn.

Therefore, he didn't need to express any opinions at all and could just watch quietly.

"Yes."

Okita Jusan nodded slightly.

"That's fine!"

He Ming sighed, then stepped forward and looked at Niimi Fumio who was standing next to Sanada Shiro.

"Chief Intelligence Officer. I remember that on one of Saturn's satellites, there seemed to be some kind of, um, rare mineral called chaos or something?"

"Eh? Oh, wait a minute."

Xin Jianxun was stunned and immediately started searching on the tablet in his hand.

After a while, Xinjian Xun pushed his glasses and gave the answer.

"Yes. On Saturn's moon Enceladus, there is an abandoned mine of Chaos Stone, a rare mineral. But, Second Mate, why are you looking for this abandoned mine?"

Xinjian Xun's confusion is also the confusion shared by everyone.

It was obviously Okita Jusan who asked He Ming what to do next, but He Ming immediately turned the topic to ore.

"No. We are just being prepared. Captain. The first voyage of the Yamato is a long journey of 336,000 light years. During such a long and distant journey, anything can happen. Among them, the situation that concerns the life and death of the Yamato is the most prominent and deserves our attention."

He Ming paused and said in a deep voice.

"That is the raw materials for the components of the wave engine that is the power heart of the Yamato and allows us to survive in this deep and dangerous starry sky. We must ensure that they are as available as possible."

As He Ming finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed.

This is a serious problem.

It is also a crisis that may erupt at any time.

Okita Jusan spoke slowly.

"Indeed. Just as the second mate said. We are able to survive under this starry sky because of the powerful power contained in the wave engine. Therefore, if possible, we must prioritize the raw materials that maintain the operation of the wave engine."

As soon as Okita Jusan said this, all the disputes disappeared.

Coincidentally, just as Okita Jusan finished speaking, an emergency report from the first bridge also arrived.

It's a distress signal!
Moreover, it was a subtle distress signal coming from Saturn's moon Enceladus.

In such a delicate situation, everyone exchanged glances and then looked at He Ming in unison.

This timing is too coincidental, isn't it?
He Mingcai had just asked Xin Jianxun to search for information about the Chaos Stone, and in the blink of an eye, they received a distress signal from Saturn's satellite Enceladus.

Could it be that He Ming has the ability to predict the future? !
