Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1248: Adora's Little Trouble

"Sir. The pilot also has something to report."

After seeing that it was settled that the Axs Empire would become a part of the Flying Feather Fleet, Artesia walked directly to Tina Axs and began to report.

He Ming looked closely and found that Artesia had started to grow her hair long.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair has now been tied into a short ponytail at the back of her head.

Seeing this, He Ming couldn't help but have some guesses.

If Artesia grew her hair long enough, she might tie it up like her mother, Astraea Toa Deiken, and become a stunning beauty.

"General, General."

In a trance, He Ming seemed to hear the voice of Artesia calling him.

"Ahem. It's nothing. I was just distracted for a moment. Please continue! Artesia."

He Ming coughed quickly to cover up his distraction.

"No. I think you should take a good rest now before you work."

Artesia put away the documents and said firmly.

"No. It's okay. Go ahead! Don't worry! I'm in pretty good shape now. If I relax, I'm afraid you won't be able to find me."

He Ming waved his hand and said half seriously, half jokingly.

Artesia frowned, but did as she was told.

She knew that if He Ming really wanted to run away and not do anything about it, he might actually do it.

"Well, please allow me to continue my report. Just as Natal reported, the MS pilots of my Feiling Fleet have basically met the personnel arrangements of the Third and Fourth Fleets. If more pilots join, it is very likely to cause a bloated staff."

"Really? This is a problem that we have to face."

He Ming frowned.

Due to the particularity of Qihang Star and the route it is located on, He Ming had to repeatedly expand the size of his fleet.

However, compared to battleship operators, who have extremely high requirements and difficult training, the job of MS pilot is relatively simple.

After successfully completing the MS driving training, it is time for actual combat training.

Although there will be some casualties in this link, overall, it is still much easier to train than warship operators, and the success rate is also relatively high.

"Satellite Fortress... No, that's not necessary. Let's put the pilot training plan on hold! Raise the quality requirements for the personnel. In the short term, there won't be a large-scale battle on the Start Star Channel. Besides, the courses on the Ark should be almost ready, right? King Kong."

He Ming thought about it and finally gave up the idea of ​​building a satellite fortress.

There is already a large shortage of warship operators, and if satellite fortresses are added, it will probably be even more stretched.

True.

He Ming can also use intelligent AI such as Arduino to manage satellite fortresses.

But if Adino were to act together with He Ming, once a procedural error occurred, those satellite fortresses controlled by AI might become a threat to the Qihang Star Route.

Although the problem is not big, it is still a trouble after all.

"Well, most of the Mind Cores have completed the first round of learning and training, and are currently consolidating the training results through some actual combat exercises. There is absolutely no problem with the second half of the Departure Star Route and the garrison in Cygnus."

King Kong's answer made He Ming satisfied.

"Let's make the arrangements as you said!"

"Yes! Admiral."

"Sir. The civil servant has a report on the matters concerning the planet Qihang and the planet Edora." When Angelique saw that the affairs of the Feiling Fleet were almost finished, she came to He Ming and spoke.

"Hmm? Let's not talk about the Sailing Planet for now. Isn't the planet Eidola managed by the people of Eidola? We have never interfered in their internal affairs."

"Yes. It's just that the situation on the planet Eidora is a little complicated."

Angelique showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

This made He Ming a little curious.

Although Angelique did not experience the difficult experience in the original time and space, she is a princess of the empire who was trained to be the heir to the empire.

Angelique, who had the background of being an heir carefully cultivated by the imperial royal family, was actually stumped by the internal affairs of the planet Edora?

"Go ahead! These are all people you can trust."

Upon hearing this, Tina Axel looked surprised, but soon regained her composure and waited for Angelique's report.

"In the past few years, thanks to the support of the Flying Feathers Fleet, the civilization of Edora has developed faster and faster, and has also gained sufficient resources. But at the same time, some people have complained about the Flying Feathers Fleet and even resisted the construction machinery provided by the Flying Feathers Fleet from entering the city."

"Oh, really? Then, inform Kuya Doron and Yars that the Feiling Fleet will withdraw all engineering forces on the planet Eidola and only retain troops stationed near the ancient ruins. Matters in other areas have nothing to do with our Feiling Fleet."

He Ming's determination made Angelique stunned.

She knew that the planet Edora was quite important to He Ming and the Feiling Fleet.

There are also many Feiling soldiers who are from the people of Edora serving in the Feiling Fleet.

Even the Departure Star Route mentioned by He Ming and others starts from the planet Edora.

Such an important planet, and yet they just ignore it?
"Can't you understand for the moment, Angelique?"

He Ming could see that Angelique was very confused.

"Yes, General. Although the empire no longer exists, as the heir to the former empire, I was taught to consider the welfare of the citizens of the empire as the most important thing. However, your decision... I cannot understand it."

Angelique nodded.

"You are right. But please remember one thing. Before the people of Edora entered the cosmic age, they were still a tribal civilization scattered to every corner of the Edora planet. Although they have successfully formed some urban civilizations, their roots are still some ruins cities left behind by the ancestors of Edora on the planet."

As He Ming stood up, King Kong presented to everyone a brief historical overview of the ancestors of Edora and the people of Edora.

"Compared to the ancestors of Eidola who had already ventured into the universe and left their footprints in deep space, the people of Eidola today were forcibly brought into the universe age only because of the awakening of the super-ancient AI Yars left behind by the ancient ancestors on the planet Eidola."

"Admittedly, in this process, we who arrived at the planet Eidola with the GBN system were also one of the key factors. However, it cannot be denied that the people of Eidola today are just people of a tribal civilization that have gained the blessing of transcending their time and the right to venture into the universe under this influence. In their original civilizational cognition, the starry sky is an untouchable forbidden area."

“So much so that when the people of Edora first saw Kuyaduolun flying in the sky, they were immediately amazed and worshipped it as a sacred beast.”

"Under such circumstances, when the people of Eidola who failed to develop correct cognition through systematic learning came into contact with the overly abundant cosmic resources and vast space too early, it was inevitable that some of them who lacked a clear understanding of the dangers of the universe would have some arrogant thoughts."

Having said that, He Ming smiled.

"In that case, I won't spoil them. I'll give them what they want. What I, and even the Flying Feathers Fleet, care about is only the starting point of the Departure Star Route - the star system where the planet Eidola is located. As for the ground, let them deal with it themselves. When they have dealt with it enough, they will naturally know who is the benefactor who can help the people of Eidola gain a foothold in the dangerous universe."

"Angelize. Do you understand?"

Angelique pondered for a moment and said respectfully.

"Yes! General. I understand. What the Feiling Fleet really cares about is outer space and the Sailing Star Route itself, not the civilization on the surface of the planet."

"That's right. The route is the top priority. Everything else is decided based on this top priority. No matter how much trouble there is on the surface of the planet, as long as the outer space is blocked, they are just some clowns."

The protagonist's decision was based on an interstellar race in an ancient animation. I wonder if anyone can figure it out? (Hint: related descriptions have appeared before, and even pictures have been provided!)
