Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor

He said, "Actually, I just reassembled the UN-XA machine based on the existing one, and I only have two achievements to show for myself. Unlike you, who have been researching lasers and have made great progress!"

Dr. Kenmura sighed, looking at the UN-XB unit, the prototype of the second unit, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"I was really too young and impetuous back then. So many people were designing it, but they still finished after me. This made me resentful. In my eagerness to succeed, I didn't thoroughly check the hidden problems of the aircraft again, which led to the death of the first test pilot in deep space!"

As he said this, Dr. Kenmura's tone was filled with deep self-reproach.

Nanase Fudo did not comfort her. He had no right to comfort her in this matter. Although his plane had never had a major accident with fatalities, minor accidents were frequent.

"Every time I see Captain Megumi now, I think of Flight Instructor Katsuhito Miura!"

Katsuhito Miura is Megumi's husband. He was the best pilot at the time and was known as one of the three giants of TPC pilots along with Kazuma Asuka and Masami Mikawa. However, only Masami Mikawa is still alive now. He once taught Rena. Fudo met him a few times. He was a very kind person and always had a warm smile. He even made Rena, a young girl who was just beginning to experience love, fall in love with this man who was nearly ten years older than her.

Kaede also liked him very much, especially since he often took him to fly in the sky, which taught him how to design airplanes. It can be said that Nanase and her brother really treated him like an older brother. However, he did not know how the other party died, so he had no chance to save him.

Who would have thought that the other person would die in their area of ​​expertise?

He almost broke off all contact with Reiko Kenmura, but thanks to the mediation of Megumi Kiyama, he forgave her.

After all, there's no way that test pilots won't die.

He interrupted Reiko Kenmura's reminiscence and said slowly, "Let's get down to business now!"

Reiko Kenmura snapped out of her thoughts and took a deep breath.

"Ok!"

After responding, she looked at the two Victory Flying Swallows and said, "First is Flying Swallow No. 1. We need to cancel the Neil Ray and replace it with a more powerful needle-shaped high-power free electron laser."

Feng Du stroked his chin and pondered, "I see. Then we'll need to add a charge particle emission device to ensure the strong uniformity of the free electron laser!"

Dr. Kenmura nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! But we must retain the multi-function module under the nose! Here's the improvement data, take a look!"

As she spoke, she transmitted the Flying Swallow No. 1 improvement plan from her personal communicator to Fengdu's waist communicator.

Fengdu held the palm-sized communicator and glanced at the documents on it.

"Wow, quite a few weapons have been added. In addition to the existing signal flares, illumination flares, smoke flares, 7.62mm machine guns, and freezing flares, we're also adding napalm bombs, 120mm multi-purpose launchers, high-explosive rounds, armor-piercing rounds, and 300mm universal rocket launchers..."

Holding the communicator in his hand, Feng Du exclaimed, "This is practically a mobile attack arsenal!"

Some of these weapons were ones he had prepared beforehand but hadn't installed, while others were newly added, such as rockets and machine guns!

Dr. Kenmura replied, "Yes, but I don't know if adding weapons to the TPC is a good thing or a bad thing!"

Feng Du shrugged and said, "We are just scientists. The way technology is used depends on people. Even if we make cars that are easy for people to use, they can be used as weapons by people with ulterior motives. However, since it is for the TPC organization to use, it will not cause any harm to humans."

Reiko Kenmura nodded.

"You're right!" she said, then added, "Alright, you take charge of the upgrade of Unit 1 for now, and I'll take charge of Unit 2!"

"Okay, go ahead. You should be able to finish upgrading Unit 1 around 10 p.m.!"

"Ok!"

Chapter 57 The Early Appearance of Plan F (Bonus Chapter, Thank You for the Donation)

While Fengdu was upgrading Feiyan-1 with his old buddies, Jujian Hui also came to the director's office.

She stood before Director Sawai and said with concern, "Director, I know that Earth is facing great danger right now, but isn't it too much of a step to upgrade the Flying Swallow's attack equipment for the second time so hastily? In the battle against King Black, the first time the Flying Swallow was armed, it already drew criticism from outsiders!"

The director stood up, went to the window, and gazed at the calm sea with a wistful look.

"I know your concerns, but you know what? I have to do this!" He decided to voice his concerns to his trusted subordinate.

Megumi Kijima was taken aback and looked at Director Sawai with confusion.

"Why? Is someone forcing you?"

Although Director Sawai is the head of the TPC organization, the organization is not a cohesive unit. It is full of various voices, such as the Space Development Bureau, the police department, and the leaders of other countries.

"I suppose so!" Director Sawai replied ambiguously, then turned to look at Megumi and said, "You should have noticed, right? Some people are starting to have ideas about turning Gakuma into a subjugated weapon, aren't they?!"

Megumi's face darkened. She had noticed this idea a few days ago, so she asked Horii, who was in charge of the [Petrification Ray] research, to pay attention to this matter.

"Yes!"

"Although I rejected all these proposals seriously, they've started working on Project F again!"

"Project F?" This was the first time Megumi had heard of this project. She looked at Soichiro Sawai with a questioning gaze.

"The so-called 'F Project' is to enable humanity to master the power of light!"

Megumi didn't quite understand. She asked in confusion, "The power of light!? Isn't that the light-powered system that Dr. Yao has already started experimenting with?"

Director Sawai shook his head. "No, it's a plan to create artificial giants of light! They deciphered some of the information in the time machine and learned that the 'God Creation Project' had already been created before the ancient times. So they thought, since Ultraman can be created artificially, why can't there be more artificial Ultraman!"

Megumi's eyes widened, and a scene involuntarily surfaced in her mind: a gray sky and a group of countless giants.

Instead of chatting over tea, they were engaged in a life-or-death internal struggle.

Countless rays of light flew, severed limbs and fragments, and sparks from the explosion flew everywhere.

When a dark aura enveloped them, these giants were reduced to stone statues amidst the ruins.

Although the entire scene was silent, it gave people an extremely heavy sense of oppression, which was stuck in her heart and made her almost suffocate.

"No!" she shouted.

As she uttered that cry, the huge weight pressing on her heart eased, allowing her to breathe heavily.

Director Sawai gave Megumi a deep look, his eyes flashing with an uncertain light.

'Megumi, what are you hiding?'

However, he didn't voice his true thoughts. He turned his gaze back to the calm sea and said in a complicated tone, "Yes, artificial Ultraman, haha... Once Ultraman gains humanity and loses their divinity, it will be a huge disaster for us humans!"

It's not a big deal if one Ultraman has humanity; the real problem is if a group of Ultramen all develop humanity.

Even the Land of Light, which once had four major races—the Silver Race, the White Race, the Red Race, and the Blue Race—has now completely disappeared due to internal strife.

Of course, they knew nothing about the Land of Light.

Director Sawai also watched that video, which showed the ancient giants fighting amongst themselves.

They are numerous, but compared to billions of humans, the number of Ultramen is not even a fraction of the human population. However, they possess powers that humans have never had.

It is enough to easily wipe out all of humanity.

Although the scene of Ultraman wiping out humanity did not actually occur, the infighting among Ultraman indirectly contributed to the demise of the ancient civilization.

Humanity, however, has not learned its lesson and wants to restart the artificial Ultraman project.

What they forgot is that humanity can only protect itself by relying on itself.

That's why he ordered the upgrade of the Flying Swallow's weapons and equipment to enhance the Victory Team's offensive capabilities.

This will curb those people's dangerous thoughts.

Once the GUTS team can defeat the monster on their own, then those people's reasons will become less important and untenable.

Megumi didn't know how she walked out of the director's office. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting in a chair in the command room.

The command room was unusually quiet today.

Only Ye Rui is chatting with someone.

Lina and Shinjo went to check on the upgrade and preparation of the Flying Swallow, Munakata went to the gym, and Fudo was upgrading Unit 1.

For a moment, Megumi Kijima actually felt a sense of loneliness.

Thinking of Reiko Kenmura, she also thought of her husband, Katsuhito Miura.

The two were so in love back then, and she even gave birth to a son for him.

However, due to a minor connection error, the escape pod failed to eject in time, causing the experimental unit UN-XB to explode in outer space.

This caused her and Katsuhito Miura to be separated by death, and her mother-in-law became extremely disgusted with her because of this, completely severing her marital relationship with Katsuhito Miura.

She raises her grandson herself.

She had no choice but to abandon the surname Miura and revert to her former name, Megumi Kijima.

Suddenly, a phantom figure appeared in front of her from within her body.

The person was dressed in white with white hair and a pale face. A soft light enveloped her, making it impossible to see her exact appearance.

Looking at her, one feels as if they are seeing an angel.

Megumi's eyes widened in shock as she stared blankly at the figure emerging from her body.

"You Lian..."

You Lian didn't speak. She waved her hand and threw a ball of light at Ye Rui.

Upon seeing this, Megumi Kijima stood up abruptly and loudly demanded, "What are you trying to do?!"

"Don't worry, it's just a way to block people's perception of the outside world, it won't have any bad effects on the human body."

Upon hearing this, Megumi turned to look at Nori, only to find him still engrossed in playing on his computer, completely oblivious to the figure appearing before him and to her earlier shout.

After Yu Lian calmed down, she slowly walked in front of Ju Jian Hui. The light on her body gradually dimmed, revealing an old face.

When Megumi first saw Yuzare's true face, she felt an unusual sense of familiarity.
