Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 761 Kusanagi, take off!

Orb.

The Kaguya Mass Accelerator is busy.

Under Uzumi's direct command, the Kaguya mass accelerator went directly into a war state, completely adapting all transportation tasks to wartime operating guidelines.

Under this principle, Orb's latest developed new battleship, the Izumo-class Kusanagi space battleship, is entering final preparations before launch according to operating procedures.

On the Kusanagi, Luo Jule and his companions sat in their seats helplessly but excitedly looking at everything around them.

The reason why they became temporary crew members of the Kusanagi was that Luo Juel, under the commission of Londo Mina Sahak, provided some technical and logistical services to the M1 Heretic. Therefore, as the pilot of the Red Heretic, it was natural for Luo Juel to take everyone in the Recycling House on this trip back to the universe.

However, the professor who was supposed to go with them left Orb first because he wanted to deliver the recycling house's mothership HOME to the space near the Pillar of Heaven.

Otherwise, this new Orb space battleship should be able to arouse the professor's interest.

"Really? I feel like we've been running around all over the place, and finally we ran back to the universe."

Liam sighed, feeling somewhat helpless about the current situation.

According to the original plan, the Recycling House should have a seven-day free period after completing the commission from Lund Mina Sahak.

The holiday plan, which was originally intended to take advantage of this period of time to have a good rest and have some fun on land, was shattered by the changes that followed one after another.

First there was Cagalli's strangeness, then there was the secret on the deserted island, and finally Lund Mina Sahak called them to the Orb Aurora Society without any explanation to work. After a series of rotations, Liam earned a lot of money, but he felt that his body and spirit were collapsing.

Despite his behavior, even the energetic Yamabuki Juri was slumped in her seat, with no intention of moving at all.

However, Luo Qiuer is still in an excited state.

This was because, after receiving technical assistance from East Asia, the Aurora Society made drastic modifications to the M1 Heretic, which were known to Luo Jule. Then, knowing Luo Jule's personality and hobbies, the people in the Recycling House had already seen the results.

There were no negotiations or discussions.

Erica Simmons only needed to mention that while helping the Dawn Society, Luo Jule could directly drive the M1 Heretic and participate in subsequent improvement plans as a technical assistance personnel.

So, Luo Jule foolishly boarded the Izumo-class Kusanagi and followed the battleship back into space.

True.

Everyone in the recycling house didn't know that this was done intentionally by Erica Simmons at the instruction of Lund Mina Sahak.

Next, the Kusanagi and its crew will participate in a highly confidential operation, which is also a practical test of the M1 Heretic.

Although the M1 Heresy has been produced with the technical assistance of East Asia, and has achieved data beyond expectations in subsequent simulated combat tests, it is still unknown what level the M1 Heresy can perform at in an actual life-and-death battle.

Therefore, when Lund Mina Sahak left Orb, Erica Simmons took the initiative to ask Lund Mina Sahak for a solution.

"Let the people from the Recycling House catch up! After all, they are also involved in the Deserted Island Operation. If the Recycling House knows something and allows them to continue their actions, it may have some impact on our future plans."

"Director Simmons."

Just as Erica Simmons was thinking about the last order left by Lund Mina Sahak, a steady voice came from the side.

"Yes. I'm here. Captain Chisaca."

"Get ready! In five minutes, the Kusanagi will lift off and rendezvous with the bow, thrusters and other hulls that remain in orbit. At the same time, our allies are already in orbit waiting for our liftoff."

"Yes! I will arrange everything." Five minutes later, with the activation of Kaguya's mass accelerator, the ready-to-go Kusanagi soared into the sky.

Standing in the command center, a group of people looked at the Kusanagi soaring into the sky with different expressions.

Among these people, Uzmi Yula Asha looked particularly solemn.

Because this is the first time that Orb has actively participated in international disputes since it declared and maintained neutrality.

Although behind this dispute lies a terrible truth that is enough to subvert humanity, there is no doubt that Orb is now extending its power to the outside world.

Uzummi's gaze slowly moved in the direction of the base island.

According to the report from the Orb Fleet, after the foundation of the base island met the requirements for large-scale construction, East Asia has begun to arrange the defense line of the base island to prevent another attack from the Carpentaria base.

Where is the world heading?

On the confluence track.

The Polaris and Archangel, which arrived at the planned orbit first, are monitoring the surrounding situation.

The Iron General Squad led by Sergei occupied an advantageous position early and went on guard.

"Number two, number three, number four. Monitor the area where the Kusanagi's hull is located! Be careful of possible enemies!"

"Yes! Captain Sergei!"

The Iron General team accelerated and broke away from the fleet formation, quickly approaching the part of the ship that Orb had placed in the predetermined orbit, and checked the situation in the surrounding space.

“I didn’t expect the planned orbit to be so close to the area where the Junius 7 wreckage was located.”

"This area is far from busy shipping lanes, making it more suitable for hiding our whereabouts. Moreover, there are gravel belts all around Junius 7, which can help us conceal our actions."

On the bridge of the Polaris, Feng Yun looked at the sunglasses on He Ming's face with curiosity.

"Colonel. Your eyes?"

He Ming shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know. Anyway, that's it."

Feng Yun shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.

After all, the last time He Ming encountered this situation, he picked up Lacus Klein.

And now, a similar situation has occurred again. Is it possible that they can pick something up?
When this thought came to mind, Feng Yun found that he seemed to have some... anticipation.

"Ahem! Captain. According to the schedule, the Kusanagi should have almost arrived at the designated space area! We can start preparing for the reception."

"That's right!"

Feng Yun straightened up and gave the order loudly.

"Notify the Archangel to prepare to meet the Kusanagi and make all preparations to switch to stealth mode!"
