Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 805 Meeting with the future giant! (1/3)

There were bursts of engine roars from the sky, and teams of MS named Iron Men flew across the sky and flew towards the waters around the base island to perform their daily routine patrols.

The base island has built a solar wireless transmission base station as soon as possible. Now, the new East Asian MS Iron Man equipped with solar cells has the ability to fly long distances. It has taken over the surveillance mission from the Vanguard fighter and has become a new force to protect the base island.

Shin Asuka stood at the hangar next to the runway, watching the iron men walking in and out of the hangar with shining eyes.

He didn't expect that Kira Yamato's suggestion would be to take him to visit the base.

Shin Asuka touched the temporary pass hanging on his chest.

According to Kira Yamato, this seems to be some convenience brought about by his introduction and the project that Asuka's father is currently in charge of.

of course.

This convenience has to go through numerous verifications before it can be put into the hands of the real Asuka, and it is only valid for one day.

But this was enough to shock Shin Asuka.

Ever since the Iron Man was announced to be in service, the outside world has been speculating how many of the new MS developed by East Asia have been produced and how much actual combat capability it has.

From the few actual combat records that have been passed on to the outside world, the outside world can get that Iron Man's degree of completion is very high, even exceeding the level of King developed by ZAFT at the same time.

You have to know that it took ZAFT's Jinn almost several years from development to actual combat and then to fame.

Judging from the information released by East Asia, the time it took for Iron Man to go from project initiation to actual combat was only a fraction of that of King.

With such a short development time,
Such a highly accomplished result,
This has caused the outside world to doubt whether Iron Man has a new successor, and some people have even begun to speculate that Iron Man's successor has already been in service in the East Asian Space Fleet.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a sound like an air explosion attracted Shin Asuka's attention.

He turned his eyes and saw a very shocking picture.

I saw a machine that was somewhat different from Iron Man. For some unknown reason, it suddenly opened its shoulders and some devices on its back, and threw all the countless metal wires hidden inside into the air.

At that moment, Zhen Fei Niao seemed to see the bright red cloak fluttering in the wind and the general looking down on the world under the brilliant light.

"That's the Iron General. The successor to Iron Man. Does it look good?"

A strange voice came from behind Zhen Asuka, causing Zhen Asuka to nod repeatedly subconsciously.

Then, Shin Asuka turned around and saw Kira Yamato and a man he didn't recognize standing there, looking at him.

"Ah? Kira-nii-san. I..."

When Zhen Fei Niao saw a stranger next to him, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"That, I, that machine is just so beautiful."

Kira Yamato shook his head helplessly.

"That's the Iron General. It's East Asia's newest model. What you just saw was the Iron General debugging its cooling system."

"Cooling system? Those floating wires? Aren't they hair?"

Shin Asuka blinked, somewhat curious.

For a moment, he couldn't understand why iron would use those densely packed metal wires that floated like a cloak to dissipate heat.

Obviously, Kira and the young man beside him would not tell him this.

After all, this can be considered as the military secret of the Iron General.

"Ahem. This is He Ming, Colonel He. Really, the bird in the sky you mentioned is the shadow of this colonel."

"what?!"

Shin Asuka was startled and looked up, and found that the young man was looking at him with a smile. For some reason, Shin Asuka suddenly felt a very terrible premonition of danger.

It's like a weak little white rabbit being targeted by a wild beast.

"Are you the real Asuka?"

The young colonel, He Ming, looked up and down at the young man in front of him.

To be honest, He Ming did not see the temperament of the boy in front of him that was once called "Crazy Bird" by his fans. Instead, the real Asuka in front of him looked more like an ordinary boy.

If only this kid hadn’t randomly given him and Chengying the nickname “Sky Bird”.

"Yes! I am the real Asuka. Hello, Colonel!"

Zhen Fei Niao was startled and instinctively saluted He Ming like the guards he saw when he arrived at this base.

"Very good! At ease. Good afternoon, young man!"

He Ming stood at attention, returned the greeting, nodded in response, and looked at Kira Yamato.

"Kira. Are you adjusting well lately? I heard that you have become the director of the development center. It seems that I still underestimated your ability."

Kira Yamato smiled shyly.

"Colonel, please don't make fun of me. It's just that everyone recognizes my ability. I don't want to be the director. There are too many things to deal with."

Kira Yamato sighed and then said.

"Well, after finally finishing my work, I happened to see Shin Asuka arguing with someone on the Internet in the lounge, so I thought I should come over to see you while you're here too."

"Really?"

He Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhen Fei Niao.

Shin Asuka suddenly panicked and quickly signaled with his eyes that Kira Yamato should not expose his past.

Before he could say anything, Kira Yamato pointed at Shin Asuka and said with a smile.

"Yes, Colonel. When I found out, he was explaining to others on the forum what happened over the pedestal island."

Then, Kira Yamato was afraid that He Ming didn't know, so he reached out and patted Shin Asuka's shoulder.

"During the heated discussion, Shin Asuka even gave that scene a name, which seemed to be called 'Sky Bird'."

The next second, the real Asuka exploded.

“Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop talking! Kira-nii-san!!! That, that was just my ignorance! I just gave you a random name!!”

Seeing Shin Asuka trying to escape in panic but being held by Kira Yamato with nowhere to escape, Kira and He Ming burst into laughter.

After laughing a few times, He Ming pointed at Kira Yamato.

"Kira. I didn't expect you to have bad intentions."

Kira Yamato smiled brightly, but without any guilt.

"Colonel, you are too kind! Heavy work pressure always requires some adjustment, right?"

He Ming shook his head helplessly.

"Pay attention to the size. You're going to scare the living daylights out of you, Asuka."

Kira Yamato lowered his eyes and noticed that Shin Asuka seemed to be having some problems.

"This guy is really a little too thin-skinned!"
