Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 68 Breaking through the Karman Line

Eli was a journalist in the 21st century.

It's funny that in a society where people's hearts are in turmoil, Eli still maintains his simple journalistic ideals.

Wanting everyone in the world to see what's going on.

With this in mind, Eli reported on the war in Pakistan and Ukraine as a special correspondent.

I have also interviewed people who set their eyes on the starry sky and the audience who shed tears at the scene at the satellite launch site of our motherland.

Where realism is strongest, Eli can feel his most romantic fantasies.

Feeling the ultimate romantic fantasy of mankind heading towards the universe, Eli's simple wish could not help but change a little.

It's obvious that these are not fantasies here.

Sitting in a chair in the bridge, fastened by a safety belt, Eli felt the vibration of the white base hull, his body gradually becoming lighter, and everything in front of him became blurred.

Are those tears?
After experiencing such a fantasy, Eli chose to go to Japan to conduct a follow-up investigation into the nuclear wastewater incident.

He wanted to do something for that world.

Even though I had this feeling in mind, after coming into this world, I became a person who wanted to wait and see what would happen.

Are you afraid for the future of the Universal Century?

Thinking back to his past self, tears finally flowed from Eli's eyes.

Obviously, I have already decided what to do, and obviously that kind of feeling and that kind of aspiration will not change just because the world has changed.

"Lieutenant Eli, are you okay?"

Brad, who was sitting in the captain's seat, was the first to notice something was wrong with Eli.

"Elaisan?"

The white base was entering the black barrier area, and it seemed that even the new humans' perception was about to be cut off.

At this time, Amuro, who was sitting in front of Eli, turned around and noticed Eli's tears.

"Eli..."

Serra also turned back at the CIC position.

All the people in the White Base could see in the past was Eli's reliable side.

Whether it is taking care of other casualties in daily life, or taking the initiative to hold off the enemy during combat.

There is no doubt that Eli has never shown such a weak attitude in front of everyone.

Homesickness? Fear? Discomfort?

No matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with Eli.

But no one was able to unbuckle their seat belts and go to Eli at this time.

"No, I'm fine... Thank you for meeting you."

Eli said without a clue.

"Lieutenant, what happened?"

"Elaisan, I am also very lucky to have met you."

"Eli..."

The three people's reactions to Eli's reply were also different.

Brad was acting out of a sense of responsibility as the person in charge, while Amuro was responding as a friend.

And Sera, although she spoke the least, was the tacit understanding that extended from the secret shared between the two.

The scenery outside has gradually changed.

The earth's azure blue sky that embraces everyone is gradually changing into the deep black of the universe.

No one in the bridge was talking anymore. Everyone tacitly ignored the commotion caused by Eli's tears.

However, who would have thought that Eli was crying because humans could now travel so freely in the universe?

However, everyone was also shocked by what they saw.

It is true that most of them are inhabitants of the universe, but it is also the first time for them to stand out from the earth like this and feel the starry sky approaching.

The vibration of the ship stopped, and all the sounds seemed to be swallowed up by the starry sky in front of them. In such an environment, it really makes people doubt whether humans can adapt to such a lonely environment.

That is why humans do not simply use spacecraft as a tool for deep space exploration, but instead use colonial satellites as stepping stones.

But perhaps it is the closed nature of the colonial satellite that has led to the lack of communication between humans.

On an astronomical scale, electromagnetic waves, which originally seemed fast, also slowed down the speed of communication.

Perhaps it is precisely to adapt to such an environment that the new humans have more sensitive brain waves, allowing them to ignore the layers of steel blocking them and transmit themselves.

In the silent bridge, Eli looked at the starry sky for a long time in silence, thinking in his heart.

Stargazer.

Eli suddenly thought of this machine.

This machine also has the same yearning for the pure starry sky.

At this moment, Eli realized that the bonus given by the system could also be used for other things.

Just like the new humans, they are definitely not meant to be used just for fighting.

Before that, we must change this abnormal world!

As if to stop Eli from making the decision in his heart, the bridge was suddenly covered by a red alarm.

As the lights flickered on and off, Amuro turned his head again and looked at Eli's face.

After confirming that the other party still expressed that reassuring will, Amuro decisively unbuckled his seat belt, stood up, and ran to the hangar with Eli!
Now that I have entered the universe, I can move around without having to fix myself.

However, the mode of action has changed.

Eli habitually spread his legs and pushed the ground hard.

However, I didn't expect that the perspective did not rush forward, but floated upwards.

"Eh?"

Eli felt the lightness of his body, and for a moment a feeling of shame and anger grew in his heart.

I had just made such a bold statement, but now I'm caught off guard like this.

What a disgraceful fellow.

"Elaisan, is everything okay?"

Amuro, who seemed quite comfortable compared to Eli, reached out and grabbed Eli's hand and pulled him down.

"fine."

After a short period of staying in the air, Eli realized that he was not inadaptable to the environment of the universe.

On the contrary, he just now felt a sense of freedom that he did not usually feel.

Eli is a resident of the universe and has the characteristics of a new human being.

Just four months of life on the gravity front made Eli forget the feeling of being in the universe for a moment.

His legs left the ground again, and Eli rushed towards the hangar with Amuro at a speed that was no less than that of someone who had worked in space for a long time.

The maintenance team just finished their final inspection and gestured to Amuro and Eli.

This is the Gundam's long-awaited space battle, and it is also the EZ-SR's first space battle.

The maintenance team did not dare to be negligent and started inspection work as soon as they received the alarm.

"Thruster filling complete!"

Eli, who was wearing his pilot's suit, happened to hear the call from the maintenance team before entering the cockpit.

"laugh--"

The pipes connected to the body were immediately disconnected.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Eli patted the commander of the maintenance squad on the shoulder as he passed by him.

Then he dived into the cockpit.
