She was still wearing her smart military uniform, with a professional smile on her face: "Mr. Hiruko, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is waiting for you. Please follow me."

Hiruko nodded and followed Catherine out of the hotel, taking a private car to the Grand President's residence.

When Hiruko arrived at the Grand Commander's office again, the Grand Commander was still alone.

His face showed signs of fatigue, but his eyes were unusually determined.

He sat behind his desk, looking somewhat haggard, with bloodshot eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't rested well for the past three days.

But his deep eyes were filled with determination, as if he had made an important decision.

“Mr. Hiruko, I need your technology,” President Howard Glasgow repeated firmly, but then added, “but not all of it.”

Hiruko raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had expected this.

He calmly asked, "Oh? Then what technologies does Your Excellency require?"

"I need Gn particle technology, as well as the universal sealing and compression space technology you demonstrated," the Grand Commander said hesitantly. "As for the intelligent AI technology... I'll give up on it for now."

A flicker of struggle crossed the president's face. He was aware of the enormous potential of intelligent AI technology, but he also understood the risks it brought.

But now, faced with the threat of Vajra, he has to make a difficult choice: give up the immense power that is within his grasp and choose a more secure option.

Hiruko listened quietly, without interrupting the Grand Commander.

He knew that it was not easy for the president to make this decision.

In the face of the pressing situation with Vajra, it certainly takes great courage and determination to reach into the taboo field of artificial intelligence.

“I understand your concerns, Your Excellency,” Hiruko said gently. “Intelligent AI technology is indeed a double-edged sword; if used improperly, it can have disastrous consequences.”

Given the current strength of the Frontier fleet, it is indeed difficult to control this force.

(Macross Plus is about the incident of virtual idols and artificial intelligence going out of control, the SharonApple incident.)

In the sequel, Delta, also known as the M Triangle movie, it is mentioned that artificial intelligence is a forbidden technology in the M universe.

Upon hearing Hiruko's words, the Grand Commander felt a sense of relief.

He was grateful for Birukhu's understanding, which further strengthened his resolve to make his choice.

“Then, Mr. Hiruko!” Grand Commander Howard Glasgow said firmly, “Are you willing to hand over GN particle technology and universal sealing and compression technology to the Macross Frontier fleet?”

Hiruko smiled slightly. As a research ninja, he had his own principles and pursuits: "Of course, Your Excellency the Commander."

I am happy to contribute to the Frontier fleet and to human civilization as a whole.

“Mr. Hiruko,” the Grand Commander said solemnly, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness, “since you are willing to hand over GN particle technology and universal sealing technology to the Frontier fleet, then let’s discuss the specifics of our cooperation.”

Hiruko smiled slightly and said, "Please speak, Your Excellency, Commander."

"First, I hope you can hand over all the information on GN particle technology and universal sealing technology to the Frontier fleet without reservation."

"In return," said President Howard Glasgow, "the Frontier fleet will grant you access to all research data except for military secrets, including the technology of the Macross-class spaceships and the VF-25." The president's tone was probing; he wanted to know where Hiruko's bottom line lay.

After hearing the Grand Commander's proposal, Hiruko did not immediately agree, but instead revealed a playful smile.

He understood that the conditions offered by the president were very tempting.

The Macross-class spaceship and VF-25's technology represent the pinnacle of human civilization. Obtaining these technologies would greatly aid his future research.

As a research ninja, his thirst for and pursuit of knowledge is endless.

The Grand Commander's heart began to pound as he looked at Hiruko's smile.

Although the data on the Macross-class spaceships is a military secret, the manufacturing technology of the Macross-class spaceships has long been popularized throughout human civilization across the galaxy due to the "Galactic Seeding Project" (human migration across the entire galaxy).

Besides the unified government, each immigrant fleet and colony has the capability to build Macross-class spaceships, as do human interstellar groups that span the galaxy.

Chapter 469

The same principle applies to the VF-25 fighter jet. Although it is one of the most advanced VF fighter jets in human civilization, the manufacturing process of VF fighter jets has long been widespread in human civilization.

The newly developed VF fighter jet is simply an improvement and innovation based on existing technology.

GN particle technology and compressed space technology represent an unprecedented new technology tree, unique in the entire galaxy of human civilization. At least, the Grand Commander has never heard of any fleet or colony possessing similar technology.

GN particle technology is a powerful tool for the fleet to deal with Vajra, a fact that has already been proven in previous battles.

The space compression technology of the universal seal directly threatened the lifeline of the immigrant fleet.

With the existence of the omnipotent seal, the original ten-ton storage space can be multiplied a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold, just like in a game, directly increasing the maximum health and mana bars of your character.

A moment later, Hiruko raised his head, looked at President Howard Glasgow, and said, "Your Excellency, your proposal is very sincere, and I accept it."

President Howard Glasgow breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Hiruko's reply.

He understood the importance of GN particle technology and universal sealing technology to the Frontier fleet.

A sly glint flashed in his eyes. He felt that he hadn't lost out in this deal. If you really thought about it, the Macross Frontier fleet had actually benefited from Hiruko's advantage.

If Hiruko is indeed from this world, then the Grand Commander has undoubtedly made a huge profit.

In the president's view, he had exchanged some already widespread technologies for unique, groundbreaking technology.

However, the Grand Commander was unaware that he was facing a scientific ninja from another world.

Hiruko acquired all the technologies of human civilization in this world in one go, using only GN particle technology and the technology of the omnipotent seal.

Acquiring the technology of a fleet is no different from acquiring the technology of all human civilization in World M, except for those technologies unique to each fleet.

In this trade, President Howard Glasgow may have won a small, or even medium, victory, but Hiruzen is the real big winner.

He traded two groundbreaking technologies—GN particle drive and universal space compression sealing scroll—for the technological achievements that humanity had accumulated over many years. This was undoubtedly a worthwhile deal that made all parties envious.

After Hiruko, the research ninja dressed in a specially made research ninja uniform with deep eyes, reached an agreement with Howard Glasgow, the Grand Commander of the Frontier Fleet, on the technology exchange, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed because of this win-win agreement.

The Grand Commander's face was beaming with smiles. He seemed to already see the Frontier fleet, aided by GN particle technology and the universal sealing scroll technology, soaring through the stars and heading towards a glorious future.

“Mr. Hiruko,” President Howard Glasgow said earnestly, with a hint of barely perceptible pleading, “there is one more thing I hope you can grant me.”

Hiruko smiled slightly, a smile that revealed the wisdom and composure unique to a research ninja. "Please speak, Commander-in-Chief."

He seemed to have anticipated what request the president would make, after all, every move he made was meticulously calculated.

"I hope you can stay with the Frontier fleet for the time being and help us investigate the Vajra matter."

The Grand Commander said, his tone revealing deep concern about the Vajra threat, "As you know, the Vajra poses a tremendous threat to our fleet. We need your wisdom and strength."

Hiruko hesitated for a moment. His cautious nature as a scientific ninja prevented him from taking risks easily. "Your Excellency, I understand your concerns, but I am just a scientist. Although I am proficient in ninjutsu and scientific research, I am not a professional military personnel. I am afraid I am not capable of fulfilling the task you have assigned me."

His tone carried a hint of hesitation; he did not want to be drawn into the war between the Frontier fleet and Vajra.

“Mr. Birukho, you are too modest.”

Grand Commander Howard Glasgow quickly said, his eyes full of anticipation, "The technology you possess far exceeds the understanding of our fleet. I believe you can definitely help us find a way to deal with Vajra."

The reason the Grand Commander made this request to Hiruko was not only because of his GN particle technology, but also because of his other two identities: adventurer and galactic archaeologist.

On his desk lay a thick stack of documents, archaeological papers published by Hiruko. Most of these papers concerned the origins of many civilizations in the galaxy, including humanity—the Proto civilization.

In these papers, Hiruko mentioned that the enlightenment of the Prodo primitive civilization was closely related to an ancient life form that possessed highly developed intelligence and technology, and that it once helped the Prodo primitive civilization establish a glorious civilization.

Having already gained some understanding of Vajra, the high command of the Frontier fleet couldn't help but make a bold guess after reading Hiruko's paper: Could this ancient life form be Vajra? If this guess is true, then Hiruko's research on the Proto primitive civilization will provide the Frontier fleet with countless clues to fight against Vajra.

“Mr. Hiruko,” said Grand Commander Howard Glasgow solemnly, “I know this request is somewhat unreasonable, but for the future of the Macross Frontier fleet, I implore you to stay and help us.”

“Alright, Your Excellency, I grant your request.” Hiruko finally nodded in agreement, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing in his deep black eyes. The curiosity and thirst for exploration of a research ninja made it impossible for him to refuse such a challenge. “I am willing to stay in the Frontier fleet for the time being to assist you in investigating the Vajra matter.”

Upon hearing this, the Grand Commander was overjoyed. He stood up excitedly, grasped Hiruko's hand tightly, and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Hiruko! Your help is of great significance to our fleet!"

However, the Grand Commander was unaware that all of this was part of Hiruko's plan.

From the moment he stepped onto the Frontier, he had already laid out a massive scheme.

He ordered Abandoned to use network technology to forge his identity as a "private scientist, adventurer, and galactic archaeologist" in order to legitimately intervene in the war between the Frontier fleet and Vajra and obtain what he truly desired.

Now, he has successfully acquired all the technological data of the Frontier fleet. The next step is to contact the Vajra and find out the secret of the Fold Crystal from them. This crystal is of immeasurable value to his path as a scientific ninja.

Of course, although his identity was fake, the papers published in those absurd editions were all real, and all of them were materials from the official setting collection.

The ancient life form that the Prodo civilization came into contact with was the Vajra. The Prodo civilization, the earliest life form in the universe, learned Fold technology through contact with the Vajra, thus initiating interstellar migration and gradually establishing a vast interstellar republic.

During this period, based on the myth and worship of Queen Vajra, a human modification device called "Bird Man" was created and later left on Earth.

In this world, all intelligent civilizations in the galaxy originated from primitive civilizations, and the enlightenment and prosperity of primitive civilizations all came from Vajra. It can be said that Vajra is an existence in this world that is exactly like a creator god.

Hiruko's deep black eyes remained calm as he smiled and said to the Grand Commander, "Your Excellency, although I have agreed to assist in the investigation of Vajra, I am afraid that I alone will find it difficult to complete this arduous task. In order to improve efficiency, I need some helpers."

President Howard Glasgow nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, Mr. Hiruko, just let me know what kind of manpower you need, and I will do my best to meet your requirements."

Hiruko said slowly, "I hope to get SMS's assistance."

This private military company possesses extensive combat experience and an intelligence network, which I believe can provide me with considerable assistance. Moreover, they are mercenaries, which in some situations are far more effective than regular armies like the New Unified Army, and their operations are also more flexible.

When Grand Commander Howard Glasgow heard Hiruko's request, he frowned slightly. The SMS was an important military force in the Frontier fleet, possessing a high degree of independence and freedom of action.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Grand Commander agreed to the request. Just as Hiruko had said, mercenaries were more useful than regular troops. He said, "Alright, Mr. Hiruko, I agree to your request. The fleet will pay the hiring fees."

Hiruko got the answer he wanted, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

But he didn't stop there. He continued, "In addition, in order to keep in touch with you at any time, I would like to have your daughter, Miss Catherine, serve as my adjutant during my investigation and assist me in my work."

The Grand Commander was stunned when he heard Hiruko's request.

He never expected that Beryl would make such a request.

Could it be that Beiluhu had feelings for his daughter?

Hiruko glanced at him and immediately saw what the old man was thinking. He had no interest in provoking the Grand Commander's daughter. He already had a large group of androids waiting for him at home, and he also had a pampered antagonist, Rumi, with whom he had an agreement in the Gundam 00 world.

"President, don't forget that our deal involves a lot of classified technology and Vajra, especially intelligence about Vajra. Are you sure you want someone else to receive it?"

Lieutenant Catherine, as your daughter, you two must have a highly encrypted private communication channel between you, right?

If I uncover any sensitive or important intelligence, I can pass it directly to you through your daughter. This is not only the fastest way, but also ensures security.

After hearing what Hiruko said, the Grand Commander chuckled awkwardly.

"Haha, that's right, Mr. Hiruko, you're right. We do need to ensure smooth and secure communication between us." Besides that, there's also the matter of Catherine's personal life.

She and Ozma were ex-boyfriend and girlfriend, so having her by his side as an adjutant would make things much easier when negotiating with SMS.

Although Catherine and Ozma have broken up, they clearly still have feelings for each other. Why not take advantage of the situation and let them get back together?

After all, what Hiruko is going to do will definitely clash with that mushroom-headed Mishima. It would be better to sever this guy's relationship with Catherine first and make him lose an arm.
