Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2074 Human Earth Alliance Meeting
It needs no excessive embellishment, nor excessive encouragement.

The lingering fear from the black hole crisis remains in the minds of humanity.

When faced with fear, humans either turn and flee or take up arms and fight back.

However, when faced with such a terrifying and unpredictable threat as the black hole crisis, turning around and running away has lost its intended purpose.

Therefore, no matter which Earth it is, as long as someone tries to take advantage of the chaos, what will appear before them is the special department first established by the Human Earth Alliance—Sky Eye.

On the day the Human Earth Alliance was established by the three Earth factions, the first to be united were the key forces led by VEDA and the ELS mother body. Through He Ming's arrangements, the tentacles of these forces were quickly spread throughout the Earth-Moon system, and in the next phase, they were spread to the entire solar system, striving to detect the enemy's actions and provide early warnings and responses before the Ghost Faces launched a new round of offensives.

However, the first thing this large net uncovered was that it also brought out those with ulterior motives.

"Human beings are truly a sinful race. Even knowing that annihilation is imminent, they still harbor their own selfish motives and are even willing to risk their heads to seize profits."

As the representative of the Super-Earth Alliance, Gop held up the documents in his hand and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"It's inevitable that people are driven by self-interest. Otherwise, the Marshal wouldn't have released VEDA and ELS to establish an intelligence network within the solar system."

Durandal Gilbert, a PLANT senator who had just become a father and hadn't even had a chance to celebrate his child's full moon, was once again entrusted with an important task by the Solar Energy Construction Alliance, becoming its representative at the Human Earth Alliance.

"Indeed. As long as the profit is huge enough, those people would be willing to sell themselves, even the noose that hangs them, to the enemy."

Klaus Glad, the Earth Federation (Gundam 00) representative to the Alliance, agreed with this.

(Klaus Gerard)
Seeing that his new colleague shared such similar views and insights, Gop couldn't help but smile.

Apart from the significant age difference, nothing else seems to matter.

When opinions are largely aligned, most tasks can proceed smoothly.

Moreover, these two colleagues in front of me are from extraordinary backgrounds.

A renowned professor specializing in gene technology.

The other one is Klaus Gerard, who successfully evolved and became a member of the Innovators.

The world is truly full of wonders.

I never imagined that this old body could witness such amazing things.

Presumably, because Rebil didn't want to see his old face frequently appearing in Chabro, he argued forcefully in the Federal Council and ultimately pinned the task of being the representative of the Earth Alliance stationed in humanity on Gop's head.

Thinking about this, Gop felt like he had really hit the jackpot.

"By the way, how's the situation at the research institute?"

Gop paused, then inquired about matters related to the Human Earth Alliance Research Institute, which had already begun operations.

Durandal, who was in charge of technical communication and other matters, nodded in agreement.

"Research on the antimatter engine has been successfully carried out and has yielded considerable results. If all goes well, the first prototype will roll off the production line in six months."

Gopp and Klaus Gerard exchanged a glance, their faces showing surprise.

"So fast?"

"This is also thanks to the help of the Marshal's friend. With Ms. Lian's assistance, the research institute quickly determined the theoretical model and the related basic theoretical research route. Otherwise, relying solely on our technical staff, we probably wouldn't have been able to determine the theoretical model and the basic theoretical route within six months."

"Durandal sighed. Without a doubt, this is a crucial moment for the Human Earth Alliance to move towards a new world."

With the vast resources, manpower, and technology of three human-made planets combined, Durandal, a technician by training, can confidently and proudly make this guarantee.

As long as the relevant basic theories and corresponding industrial deployments can be determined, breaking through new technologies is not a problem.

The real problem will only exist in the amount of time.

Right now, what the Human Earth Alliance lacks most is time.

"That's right. In addition to the technical assistance provided by Ms. Lian, ELS also provided a lot of new industrial materials and formulas, which helped us solve many of the difficulties in basic materials."

Claude Gerard nodded in agreement.

"Such a massive amount of resources, manpower, and technology have been concentrated in one place to accomplish one thing. Such a feat is probably unprecedented in history. I am very honored to work with you both in my twilight years and witness this moment together."

"Your Excellency Gop, you flatter me! I am the one who should feel honored."

"Durandal said modestly."

"Gentlemen, it's good to be modest, but we're pressed for time and can't afford to waste it on mutual humility!"

"Klaus Gerard said helplessly."

The two colleagues in front of him had a certain quirk: once one of them started to be modest, the other would inevitably follow suit, and then they would boast to each other. This made Klaus Glad, who was increasingly focused on efficiency, feel particularly helpless.

"Haha! As you get older, you can't help but reminisce about the past. Mr. Klaus, I apologize!"

Gop's expression turned serious, and after quickly apologizing, he steered the conversation back on track.

"Representative Klaus, what is the current situation of the Mars Expeditionary Force?"

"Yes, progress is good. With the help of the transdimensional portal of the lunar city Von Braun, the number of settlers has exceeded 100,000, and they have quickly settled down thanks to the buildings left behind by the former Weser Empire. The next step will be to carry out corresponding exploration operations to prepare for the second phase of the settlement."

Klaus, who was in charge of pioneering affairs within the Human Earth Alliance, immediately responded when Gop inquired about the pioneering team.

"Besides Mars, several exploration fleets have been dispatched to explore Mercury and Venus. I believe that relevant exploration reports will be sent back soon."

"As for planets that are farther from Earth, such as Jupiter and Saturn, they are handled by our fleet friends."

At this point, a hint of envy flashed in Claude Gerard's eyes.

"Sometimes, I really envy the FLOD jump technology used by our fleet friends."

Upon hearing this, Durandal shook his head helplessly.

"We once tried to access FLOD jump technology, but unfortunately, perhaps because the physical rules of our original world are different from those of our fleet friends' home world, we were unable to directly master this new technology."

"Cannot be directly controlled?"

Gop looked at Durandal with a puzzled expression.

"Yes! This may be the underlying code of this chaotic world. If we can decipher this underlying code, perhaps we can take the power to wage war into our own hands."
