We asked you to make tokusatsu films, and you actually became Ultraman?

"Welcome to today's Space Interview. I am your host, Li Xiang. Today, we are honored to have Kenji Sato, the captain of the CEA, the Earth-United Space Exploration and Defense Force, here for this interview."

Because humanity is at a critical juncture in space exploration, anything related to the universe is currently very popular. However, some people are filled with fear of the universe. To appease those who are afraid of the universe and to satisfy people's curiosity, the CEA has specially launched a live interview program called "Cosmic Interview".

Today, Cosmic Interview has become a nationwide phenomenon.

At this very moment, Yunyu, who had just finished work, was watching this program.

After the host finished his opening remarks, Captain Sato stood up slightly and waved to the camera. His usually serious face unexpectedly showed a friendly smile, making him look much more approachable.

"We've finally met Captain Sato in person!" The host seemed quite excited, leaning forward slightly. "We've received thousands of messages backstage with many questions waiting to be asked of Captain Sato. I wonder if Captain Sato was mentally prepared?"

Captain Sato nodded, his tone calm: "I'm perfectly fine, please go ahead."

Seeing Captain Sato nod, the host didn't waste any words and directly posed the core question concerning the future of humanity, which he had prepared beforehand:

"Captain Sato, we all know we're currently focusing all our efforts on exploring the universe, but if resources are limited, should we prioritize the deep exploration of Saturn, or turn our attention to the more distant depths of space?"

As soon as the question was asked, the live chat exploded with comments.

Captain Sato's smile faded, his gaze becoming deep and resolute, as if he were looking at the future of humanity through a camera lens.

"This is a question concerning the future direction of humanity. After repeated discussions among the senior management of CEA, we have decided that the Saturn development plan will be temporarily suspended."

Upon hearing this, the host perfectly displayed a surprised expression.

Captain Sato continued, "But this does not mean backing down. The top priority right now is the ecological transformation of Mars and the construction of a permanent base."

Mars will be humanity's first springboard to deep space. Only by establishing a firm foothold here can we gaze at more distant stars. Of course, the exploration will not stop there; our probes will continue their journey into deep space. Our steps may pause, but our gaze will always be forward.

The host nodded thoughtfully, then posed the second question: "But Captain, both Mars construction and deep space exploration require astronomical amounts of resources. What is the point of all this? Is it merely to satisfy our curiosity?"

Captain Sato gave a gentle yet powerful smile.

"Many people have asked me this question. What I want to say is that human civilization is like a flame. If it cannot continue to burn, it will go out."

  

We cannot stop progressing, because stagnation often means regression.

Earth's resources are finite, but the universe's potential is infinite!

We explore because we don't want our descendants to be trapped in the cradle forever.

After hearing Captain Sato's answer, the audience at the live broadcast site couldn't help but applaud.

As the applause subsided, the host took a deep breath and asked the most sensitive question, which also cast the deepest shadow over everyone present:

"Captain, the universe is vast and boundless. What should we do if we encounter extraterrestrial civilizations during our exploration?"

The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to Captain Sato.

Captain Sato was silent for a moment before giving the prepared official answer, but his tone carried a subtle hint of coldness.

"The universe is so vast that, statistically speaking, extraterrestrial life certainly exists. We have the utmost goodwill toward contact and hope to encounter friendly extraterrestrial civilizations and explore the mysteries of the universe with them."

At this point, he changed the subject, his eyes becoming sharp as a hawk's, staring directly at the camera as if trying to see into the hearts of every viewer.

"However, I also want to say something from the heart to people all over the world."

Captain Sato leaned forward slightly, his voice deep and powerful: "No matter what lies hidden in the depths of the universe, no matter whether we face goodwill or malice, please rest assured, because we are here, CEA is here, and all the interstellar defense forces are here. We will serve as the first line of defense for Earth. As long as we are here, we will not allow any threat to cross this line of defense."

Furthermore, our newest starship, the Dragonmight, will embark on its first space voyage in three days.

So don't worry, everyone can relax and look up at the stars!

After Captain Sato finished speaking, the anxiety that the public had felt due to the rapid development subsided.

Even Yun Yu felt an unexpected sense of security looking at Captain Sato in front of her.

That's outrageous! Such cool words weren't said by him!

Regarding the question of aliens, since Ultraman exists, aliens must also exist. Moreover, aliens are different from monsters; some aliens are so intelligent that they have even outsmarted and killed Ultraman several times.

The important questions were concentrated in the first few, while the rest were just minor issues. Yunyu listened for a while and then prepared to go for a run.

Yun Yu doesn't actually like sports that much, but since the people of this world love exploring the universe, she can only strive to become stronger and become a shield for the people of this world.

Hehehe, once I become strong enough, I'll go straight to outer space, wipe out the aliens preparing to invade Earth, and then gently gaze upon Earth, saying:

"Humans, until you are fully capable of traveling in space, let me be your shield."

Thinking of this, Yun Yu couldn't help but chuckle to herself, already imagining what would happen if her actions were uploaded to another world and seen by someone.

A tribute, all of it is a tribute!
