Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 861 Meeting on the island!

The ten-meter-long golden dragon stretched and swam on the seashore, rolling up waves of water and scattering all over the sky, evoking rainbows, causing the three children to exclaim in surprise, their eyes shining with excitement.

He Ming, who was not far away, held his forehead helplessly.

He knew that Salamantini had just evolved successfully, and he couldn't help but want to show off his dragon form to people he knew, but he was so excited about playing that he was afraid he couldn't stop even after the sun went down.

"A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide. When it is big, it can create clouds and mist, and when it is small, it can hide its shape. When it rises, it soars in the universe, and when it hides, it lurks in the waves. Now is the deep spring, and the dragon takes advantage of the changing times."

At this moment, a sigh came from behind.

"It seems that the ancients were not lying to me! Dragons are indeed not creatures from myths."

Hearing the voice, He Ming turned around and saw Qi Sheng, the commander-in-chief of the East Asian Space Army, looking at the dragon transformed by Salamantini in amazement.

"Commander, why are you here?"

He Ming stood up and saluted Qi Sheng.

After Qi Sheng returned the greeting, he waved his hand again.

"I just took some time to come and see our great hero. I didn't expect that I could see a dragon flying in the sky with my own eyes. It was really fascinating and amazing!"

Qi Sheng chuckled, walked to He Ming's side, and took the initiative to sit on another beach chair.

"Come, sit down! Today, I am just a Ye Gong who couldn't help but come to see the posture of the dragon."

"Commander, you are joking."

He Ming gave a bitter smile.

It seems that the dragon transformed by Salamantini has caused quite a stir among the upper class in East Asia.

Otherwise, why would Qi Sheng, the commander-in-chief of the space army, suddenly come to this small island?
"Why, you still don't believe it?"

Qi Sheng seemed a little angry.

"Before I joined the army, I studied ink painting for a while. At that time, my favorite thing was to draw dragons! But I was not good enough, so the teacher kicked me out of the class."

He Ming was suddenly speechless.

"Hahaha! Never mind! Let's not talk about this anymore!"

Qi Sheng laughed.

"In fact, this is not the extent of what can be achieved by gene adjustment surgery in the current world."

He Ming suddenly said.

"Sarah has gone through a lot of hardships to evolve to where she is now."

"evolution?"

Qi Sheng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at He Ming.

"Is your eyes like this too?"

He Ming's Eye of Reform, which had erupted several times due to external factors, had long been known to the East Asian upper class.

However, the East Asian upper echelons did not pursue this issue. Instead, they continued to invest resources in the solar power generation system given by He Ming, which eventually led to the successful establishment of the solar power generation system and enabled East Asia to gain a great voice in the international situation.

Now that the war was over, the upper echelons finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Yes, it is. This is a power gained through evolution. Although there are external factors, there is no doubt that these eyes are completely original and not a power gained through any genetic surgery."

After a pause, He Ming pointed to the white line across the sky above - that was the orbital elevator.

“And this force of evolution is inseparable from it.”

Qi Sheng looked slightly surprised, but then he regained his composure.

"It seems that we are on the right track this time."

He Ming shook his head.

"I don't know if this path is correct, but at least it is much better than the current war caused by the dispute between the adjusters and the natural people."

"That's true. Thanks to the construction of the rail elevator and the success of the solar power generation system, the domestic employment rate has begun to pick up, and domestic and foreign trade has gradually improved. If this can be maintained, there will be at least two generations of peace in the foreseeable future." "Two generations?"

He Ming shook his head.

"General He, you don't agree?"

"No. This is the most beautiful prospect! However, human nature is not like that. The emergence of solar power generation systems and orbital elevators will affect the interests of some people and even threaten their survival. And these may be hidden dangers in the next few years."

He Ming paused, smiled and said.

"Of course. This is just my personal opinion. It can't be taken seriously."

"No! General He, you are right."

Unexpectedly, Qi Sheng nodded and agreed with He Ming's words.

"From the information collected by the intelligence department, there are still some strange voices within the Earth Alliance. And I'm afraid these voices cannot be suppressed by Halberdon."

Qi Sheng raised his head and looked at the sky.

On one side of the white line that stretched across the sky, the shadow of a funnel-shaped colony satellite loomed.

"Not long ago, Patrick Sara died of his injuries. His son, Aslan Sara, refused to inherit his father's seat on the Supreme Council. He left PLANT with his wife and has been missing ever since."

"Oh? This kind of thing actually happened."

He Ming was a little surprised, but not too shocked.

Aslan Zala's actions were simply following the original trajectory.

But I don’t know whether he went to Orb or somewhere else to live in seclusion.

"In fact, Patrick Sala and his son are living in seclusion in our country."

Suddenly, Qi Sheng dropped a depth charge.

"what?!"

He Ming was shocked.

"Patrick Sala faked his own death?"

Qi Sheng smiled.

"Yes, only in this way can they escape PLANT's pursuit and purge of ZAFT after the war. Especially when the ZAFT fleet lost control, Patrick Sala and his son did not do anything about it and handed it over to the First Fleet of the Alliance for disposal, which led to the destruction or damage of all ZAFT fleets and MS."

"Although Lacus Clyne saved most ZAFT crew members and pilots with the help of General He during the battle, no one in the PLANT Supreme Council or ZAFT is willing to take on this responsibility."

"So, is that why they secretly left PLANT and came to East Asia?"

"Well, regarding the matter of Sarah and his son, I hope you, General He, will keep it confidential. After all, among the upper echelons of East Asia, no more than this number of people know this secret."

Qi Sheng opened his palm and gestured.

He Ming shook his head.

"Actually, telling me this information won't do much good. I don't have much to do with them, father and son."

"Also, General He, are you ready to leave?"

Qi Sheng looked at He Ming with a smile.

He Ming was stunned, then laughed out loud.

He is indeed a smart guy.

I was able to guess He Ming’s next move.

Yes!

As long as Velos contacts him, this mission will really be over.
