Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 848 Lux’s determination!

ZAFT's fleet and MS all lost control.

Whether in Yakin Duvi or PLANT itself, all the warships and MS under the ZAFT command system went out of control. Under the influence of a certain mastermind, they pointed their guns at the Alliance's First Fleet that was trying to stop Junius 3 from falling.

The arrival of this news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone in Yakin Duwei with a blank mind and almost unable to think.

"Why, what happened? Our fleet is out of control?"

Yuri Amafi couldn't help but ask, but saw He Ming handed over the note in his hand.

The note read: Help! Help! This ship has been invaded by an unknown virus, and we have lost control of all areas of the ship in a short period of time! The bridge is about to be lost! The bridge is about to be lost!
"Virus invasion?"

Suddenly, Yuri Amalfi remembered the project he was in charge of before he was taken hostage.

Everything fell into place as he recalled the plan.

"The crash of Junius 3 was caused by the propulsion system of the Reborn Gundam. And now our fleet's mobile suits are out of control because of the quantum computer virus of the Covenant Gundam?"

The more Yuri Amalfi thought about it, the more terrified he felt.

"No, that's not right! According to our assumption, the quantum computer virus of the Covenant Gundam should not have such terrible power. In a short period of time, our fleet and MS all lost control and became its captives."

"It's Embrio."

He Ming heard Yuri Amafi's mumbling and revealed the key point.

Judging from the current situation, the improvement of the quantum computer virus of the Covenant Gundam must be related to Embrio.

"Is there a solution? Senator Amalfi."

Aslan asked.

Yuri Amalfi shook his head.

"We were held hostage when we first started this plan."

Hearing this, everyone felt a headache.

Just now, Aslan wanted to say that ZAFT could provide a fleet to assist, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"We can't delay any longer! We must attack immediately! Everyone from Yakin Duwei, I'm very sorry! We absolutely cannot let Junius 3 fall to the earth."

As soon as He Ming finished speaking, Isaac pointed at Arduino who was controlling Genesis on the console.

"General He. Can your little, no, this smart computer do this?"

"Negative! Ever since the moment Embrio appeared, Genesis' control system has been frequently attacked by viruses. So far, there have been 1020034 attacks! In order to deal with virus attacks, all computing resources of this machine have been invested in building firewalls and computing tasks to deal with virus invasions."

When Adino said this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Judging from the amazing performance of Arduino that it easily cracked the Genesis system and eliminated the virus as soon as it appeared, it seems that this will not happen.

But facing the current situation where all ZAFT fleets and MS are out of control, the Genesis that is still under control seems to have become the only comfort and confidence for Akin Duwe and his people.

Even though they had some doubts about Arduino's claim that it had invested all its computing power in the defense of Genesis, they did not dare to question it.

"In that case, we will find a way to restore the out-of-control fleet and mobile suits to normal as soon as possible. Before that..."

Aslan struggled for a while, but ultimately failed to say anything.

This choice was too difficult for him.

He Ming nodded slowly and walked in front of him.

"After we left, we searched the interior of Yakin Duwei carefully. I suspect that Embrio still has a backup plan."

Aslan nodded silently.

"General. Can I attack as well?"

At this moment, a familiar voice was heard. Aslan looked up suddenly, and when he found that it was not coming from the person next to him, he looked to the other side. The familiar voice was from Lacus Klein herself.

"Lacus, what you are going to face next is hell."

He Ming stopped and looked at the girl who had been standing silently behind him since he saved her.

"Yes. I understand. But, I think I can play some role in the next battle."

Lux was a little hesitant at first, but in the end, she spoke with great determination.

"Does it work? Tell me what you think."

"I want to drive the Dendrobium!"

As soon as Lux opened her mouth, Yuri Amalfi beside her was shocked.

"No! No, no! Lacus, you have never been trained to fly a MS! It is impossible for you to board a MS. And that Dendrobium is not a machine that an ordinary pilot can control!"

As ZAFT's top technician, even though He Ming had never talked about the performance data of Dendrobium to Yuri Amalfi and others, Yuri Amalfi could roughly infer the approximate performance data of Dendrobium from his own personal experience and usual observations.

The conclusion is that it is a terrifying machine that cannot be controlled by an ordinary pilot.

"Yes. I have received training to pilot a mobile suit. Moreover, I successfully passed the simulation test program personally created by General He."

Faced with Yuri Amalfi's opposition, Lacus refuted it by saying that she had received MS training and passed the simulation test program.

He Ming heard this and looked at Salamantini.

As for the latter, Salamantini blinked, her eyes were a little vague, and then she nodded silently.

"I taught her. After learning what happened to PLANT, Lux asked me for help when she felt disgusted with her own powerlessness. So, I agreed."

"What about the mock test scores?"

He Ming was a little surprised, but still asked.

"A-level."

"A?"

He Ming was shocked. Apart from using the simulation test for his own daily training, he had only let Amuro use it when they were in the UC world. And Lacus got an A grade in the simulation test without saying a word?
"General. I believe I am capable of participating in the upcoming battle! And, with my abilities, I will try my best to eliminate the impact of the out-of-control fleet and MS on our fleet's actions."

Lux made her request firmly once again.

"Wait! Lux, the battlefield is not a stage! You can't resist the cruelty of the battlefield..."

Aslan shouted anxiously, but was interrupted by Lacus.

"No. I have seen far crueler things. Aslan, thank you. But, there is no need to say more. Right now, it is not me that you should be focusing on!"

Lacus turned around and looked at Aslan, thanked him, looked up at the "self" standing behind Aslan, and then looked at He Ming again.

"Anino."

He Ming suddenly called out a name.

The Arduino on the operating table shook for a while, and another intelligent AI cube split out, and at He Ming's command, it jumped onto Lux's shoulder.

"Next, Anino will support you. If necessary, you can connect with me through Anino."

He Ming’s last words stunned Lux.

Then, Lux showed a determined smile.

"Yes! General."
