UC will eventually reach the stars

"There's no moonlight, but the scenery isn't just about the moon." Ye Yun smiled as he looked into the distance, then turned back to examine Sera, who was dressed in casual clothes.

"You seem a little disappointed?" Sera rolled her eyes at Ye Yun. His gaze was full of dislike, and she spat in annoyance. What was this guy thinking? "What, are you starting to think I'm a woman now?"

"Hahaha..." Ye Yun naturally knew what Sera was complaining about. He had once yelled at her, "You call yourself a girl?" after they had fought and he was bruised and swollen. "What, planning to catch up?" Ye Yun shook his wine glass at Sera.

"No... but I want to know, in your opinion, what this battle, no, this war... might turn out to be. After all... the Federation is very powerful, and the war will surely end soon, won't it?" Sera hesitated for a moment before struggling to say this. Today, hearing Ye Yun and her father casually discussing whether the death of a billion people on this planet would be enough, Sera couldn't hold back her emotions.

"Overall, your idea is theoretically correct. With thirty times the national strength and an unparalleled overwhelming military power, on paper, Zeon's rebellion itself is suicide." Ye Yun looked at Sera beside him and saw that Sera was also sitting at the table, her hands supporting her chin, the dim light of the lamp giving the girl a holy glow.

Ye Yun smiled, raised his glass, and the ice cubes in the glass clinked gently. "But... who would make a gamble with no cards up their sleeve? Not to mention, those guys on the moon should have already started placing their bets."

"..." Ye Yun's words sent a chill down Sera's spine. "They...they are not from the Federation..."

“Our Ye family originally had investments in SIDE3. If the Zabi family hadn’t swallowed it all up, I might have had a pretty good relationship with SIDE3. Do you think these things are important to people at our level?” Ye Yun said frankly.

"Huh?" Sera's gaze towards Ye Yun instantly became complicated. Even if you openly admit to having two jobs, it still makes people feel complicated.

"This is just a very normal business investment. As a heavy industrial colony, Side 3 does have very good technology, supply chain, and skilled workers within the Federation. As an excellent capitalist, I can't possibly miss such a good place." Ye Yun shrugged, and Sera also showed a knowing expression. Then Ye Yun said something that made Sera stunned, "But now my sister talks about Side 3 and wishes the Federation would just storm in today and quell the rebellion."

"Is it... because all the properties were confiscated?" Sera seemed to recall the expression of Ye Yun's beautiful face with gritted teeth, and suddenly laughed, giving off a feeling of a beautiful woman's smile that makes a hundred flowers bloom.

"Yes, and there was no compensation whatsoever. It seems to be the price the Federation paid for failing to suppress the SIDE3 riots. This time, we are experiencing SIDE6..." Ye Yun sighed. "The Federation has no way out. To be honest, I am somewhat saddened that the Federation's control has deteriorated to this extent."

"Then... if war breaks out between the two sides... why would so many people die?" Sera asked hesitantly.

"A billion people?" Ye Yun laughed. "That's just a relatively small number I've estimated. War is about the overall strength of a nation. The gap in national strength between Zeon and the Federation is more than thirty times. How can Zeon quickly close that gap?"

“…” Sera’s small mouth opened and closed, her eyes filled with shock and fear.

“Kill people.” Ye Yun gave an answer that Sera had already guessed but was terrified of. “As long as enough people are killed, the Federation’s national strength will plummet, and unfortunately… the Side is very fragile…” Ye Yun sighed to Sera. “Persuade your father. If your original Europe isn’t safe, you can come to our place. If Zeon dares to extend its claws, believe me, my sister’s machete is already sharpening its blade.”

“…I’ll give it a try!” Sera responded immediately without hesitation. “So your fleet was prepared for this?”

"...That's right, it's just a tiny bit of a futile attempt to shake a tree."

Chapter Four Attack

Ye Yun talked a lot with Sera about his "little" thoughts. After the war broke out, all space colonies would almost inevitably be involved in the war. Although the Federation Army was powerful, in fact they had no way to prevent it from happening because... someone was looking forward to the outbreak of this war, and the other side was far stronger than Ye Yun and the Mas family combined.

So there's not much left for Ye Yun and his companion to do. If they couldn't prevent things from happening before they did, then all they could do was try to make amends and salvage the situation afterward.

Ye Yun's idea is to organize a fleet to carry out search and rescue missions in space, and to save every person in the SIDE as much as possible. That's right, a valuable third-party organization. My story will definitely appear in the side stories.jpg

"But if it's really as you guessed, once a large-scale war breaks out, the Principality of Zeon in Side 3 will directly attack every space colony, then... where will we settle these people? And where will we get enough food to rescue them? The moon can't possibly accommodate so many refugees."

"So, all we can do is save as many as we can." Ye Yun sighed helplessly. His family was indeed wealthy, but even wealth couldn't truly support such a massive undertaking. Especially considering that if a large number of refugees were sent to one place, the local resources would be rapidly depleted. Moreover, the war between the Federation and Zeon was of unknown duration, and even the most substantial wealth couldn't withstand such depletion.

“…Is there anything I can do?” Sera Mas looked at Ye Yun’s somewhat worried expression and quietly reached out her hand, seemingly intending to grasp Ye Yun’s fingers as they tapped on the table.

"!" But Ye Yun seemed to notice something and stood up abruptly, just in time to miss Sera's movement. "Sera."

"Hmm?" Sera also got up and looked into the distance, her eyes becoming strange.

"Go wake everyone in the villa, it seems... we're in trouble again." Ye Yun helplessly covered his face. What kind of trouble-attracting constitution did he have?! How could he still run into such messes on the territory that should be considered the local strongman's?!

When Ye Yun arrived, he saw a small town that looked like it belonged to the American West during the westward expansion period. Ye Yun even said that after leaving Sierra's house, he must go to the bar there to experience the atmosphere of the Western frontier era.

Now, Ye Yun felt he had no hope of experiencing it, because in that direction, there was a bright, shining fire.

"Oh my god!" Sera covered her mouth, looking incredulous. "I'm coming right now!" After saying that, she rushed downstairs, and soon her clear voice could be heard echoing in the house.

"Everyone, get ready, we have guests. Tommy, drive the car to the back of the house and start the Leo." Ye Yun took a deep breath. Last time, he hadn't expected this. This time, Ye Yun deliberately drove his truck to take Sierra home so that he might have some room to fight back if something similar happened.

Oh, of course, Ye Yun might have to reveal some of his trump cards.

"Yes! We'll go right away!" came the subordinate's affirmative reply through the earpiece.

————————————————————————————————————————————

"Yes! Identification confirmed! Ye Yun of Ye's Heavy Industry!" What Ye Yun didn't know was that just a moment ago, not far from them, several people dressed similarly to the locals were lying on the cliff, using binoculars to watch a handsome man and a beautiful woman talking on the terrace.

"Yes, okay, got it! Defense forces?! Nothing... Hmm? What did they find?! Damn it! How did the town catch fire?!" The agent observing through the binoculars noticed Ye Yun's sudden movement of getting up, and then Sera's movement shortly after. He immediately realized what had happened, followed their gazes to their backs, and felt an urge to curse.

After all, there was no doubt that his mission objective had been alerted due to his own stupidity! This infuriated the agent!

"Good! They've woken everyone in the manor!" The agent quickly noticed that the lights in the manor were starting to come on. "...Good! Good...I understand! I'm coming right now!" After ending the communication, the agent stared at the manor not far away, his eyes somewhat gloomy. The script had completely fallen apart, and they didn't have many choices left. Their only hope was that everything would end as expected—a complete and utter conclusion.

"Hmph! Your smugness won't last long!" The agent sneered and silently retreated into the darkness. At that moment, like lava flowing from a volcano, a beam of light began to spread towards the Maas family manor. "Hmm? Still trying to hide behind the house? What secrets could this guy possibly have?"

————————————————————————————————————————

"The vehicle has arrived at the rear of the manor. Begin untying the moorings." Hearing his subordinate's report, Ye Yun was loading bullets into the magazine of a lever-action rifle. "Good! Confirm!" Ye Yun's men did not face the road, the direction Ye Yun and his men came from, to prepare for defense. Instead, most of them retreated to the rear of the manor and were busy untying the heavy truck and preparing the perimeter. As the mooring ropes were untied, the wind blew, revealing the metallic sheen under the waterproof tarpaulin.

After confirming the situation on his side, Ye Yun glanced out the window. The Mas family had a lot of bodyguards, and now all of them were on high alert. One of them was wearing a bulletproof vest and holding a shotgun or lever-action rifle, watching the convoy approaching from afar. Their expressions all seemed very serious.

Just before the fire dragon arrived, Ye Yun heard an unexpected commotion.

"Who are you? Don't come any closer! Or we'll shoot!" The bodyguards drew their pistols and fired warning shots into the air. They had noticed some people approaching the manor, and getting close at this time was definitely not good news.

“We’re from the town. They said we supported federal tyranny and burned down our house! They wouldn’t listen to our explanations at all,” a middle-aged man with a bloodied head said earnestly.

“They’re from town,” a bodyguard whispered to the captain who was supposed to be in charge.

"Tell them to go to the small room on the side, but don't give them any weapons. Let them check for outsiders themselves first," Ye Yun said, but quickly added, "Of course, this is not an order, but a suggestion." Ye Yun knew very well that command was extremely important at this time. For an outsider like himself to issue orders arbitrarily here would not only be disrespectful, but could also easily cause chaos in command.

The bodyguard captain glanced at Ye Yun, who was wearing a bulging tool vest and holding a lever-action rifle, nodded, and accepted the man's suggestion, "Go to the warehouse next door, give them water, and have them identify each other to see if there are any outsiders who have infiltrated."

Don't be curious why Ye Yun and his bodyguards have weapons that look like they were from the American westward expansion era. It's because this Texas colony, besides being an agricultural colony, is also a tourist colony that deliberately imitates the American West, which is... very luxurious.

Therefore, the weapons and equipment here are basically all in line with the style of that era.

Lever-action rifles, Peacemaker revolvers, long-barreled double-barreled shotguns—but what Ye Yun found most objectionable was the machine gun emplacement they'd just set up in the living room! A Maxim heavy machine gun…

Ah... is it really necessary to achieve this level of accuracy in terms of restoration?

For some reason, Ye Yun felt a sense of unease as he watched the rapidly approaching pillar of light.

The lights in the distance were almost upon them. Ye Yun frowned. The situation seemed... to be a fight to the death.

"Young Master Ye, please go inside. Leave the rest to us!" The head bodyguard said this politely to Ye Yun, then gestured for him to enter. Even though Ye Yun had come to help voluntarily, it didn't change the fact that he was a distinguished guest, and they had to protect his safety.

“Okay!” Ye Yun did not refuse the other party’s opinion, turned around and entered the house. When he went up the steps, he frowned slightly. There were no fences or rivers near the Mas family manor, and the wide plain was completely exposed... Moreover, the incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to start building any defensive facilities now.

“Ye Yun! Father said he hopes you will be careful with what you brought…” Sera walked to Ye Yun’s side and said softly, “Although it’s said to be for industrial use, if it’s actually put into use, the situation might be…” Sera was saying something when she suddenly noticed Ye Yun’s expression change. He pulled her and fell to the ground, pinning her down.

"Clang!" The sound of shattering glass made Ye Yun's expression tighten. He glanced at the broken window, his expression becoming somewhat surprised. But without a doubt, if Ye Yun had been even slightly slower, one of them might have said goodbye to this world.

“The other side is a professional!” As he spoke, Ye Yun pushed Sera against the wall. “I didn’t originally intend to expose myself, but now it seems there’s no chance!” As he spoke, Ye Yun shoved the lever-action rifle in his hand into Sera’s hand and took off his vest to put it on her.

Sera froze. "Are you crazy?!" The moment she put it on, she realized it was a tactical vest with a bulletproof plate already inserted. Sera looked at Ye Yun with disbelief. In the midst of the conflict, such a vest was practically a guarantee of safety—to exaggerate a bit, it was a lifesaver!

Chapter Five: The Awakening of "G"

"Watch out, there's a professional sniper on the other side!" Ye Yun warned immediately, pressing his earpiece. Then he looked up at the window, and what he saw shocked him.

The manor's bodyguards were shouting loudly, seemingly trying to get the thugs rushing over from a distance to get lost, but in response they were met with Molotov cocktails thrown at them and bullets fired from a little further away. Several unlucky bodyguards were licked by the flames of the Molotov cocktails and rolled wildly on the ground in pain, while the people around them helped to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Clearly, these bodyguards were quite professional, but they had never encountered such a large-scale attack by rioters before, which made them feel somewhat hesitant. However, the other side was not so cooperative, firing shots and throwing Molotov cocktails, resulting in numerous casualties among the bodyguards.

"Tommy got shot! Damn it! The enemy spotted Leo and is firing near Leo's cockpit!" A message that gave Ye Yun a headache came through the communication. There were three people on his ship who could pilot this industrial robot. Gao Long, who had piloted Leo before, was on the ship now, ensuring that Ye Yun could escape quickly if a similar situation occurred again. Apart from Tommy, who came with him this time... there was only Ye Yun himself.

"How is Tommy doing!" Ye Yun's tone turned exceptionally cold. His crew members were all recruited by him, and in the special environment of a spaceship, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were friends who spent day and night together.

"Tommy... I'm sorry, massive internal bleeding. The Maas family doctors did their best." The news from the crew wasn't good; in fact, it was extremely bad.

"...I'll be there right away!" Ye Yun looked out the window and saw that the bodyguards of the Mas family had begun to retreat from the outside into the building. At the same time, a commotion broke out in the houses where the people who had been evacuated from the town had been housed. Someone had sneaked in, but after a few gunshots, it quickly fell silent.

“Ye Yun! You…” Sera, who had just put on her combat vest, heard Ye Yun’s words and glanced at him hesitantly. She had heard that the other side was firing at the cockpit. If Ye Yun ran over now… would the other side shoot at him?

“The situation outside is almost unbearable, we have no other choice.” Ye Yun laughed, then stared in disbelief as Sera suddenly leaned in and gave him a light peck on the cheek.

"Survive." Sera gripped the lever-action rifle tightly, her resolve hardening.

"Okay!" Ye Yun chuckled, reached out and pinched Sera's cheek, successfully earning a glare from Sera. Without saying anything more, he got up and rushed towards the back door.

——————————————————————————————————————

"The boss is coming out, smoke grenade!" Doris held a submachine gun in her hand, leaning against the truck. She gritted her teeth and thought that she must beat up Gao Long, that deadpan guy, when she got back. It must be that guy who betrayed her by talking about Ye Yun behind her back. So this time, Ye Yun must take her with him!

(A master fraudster, suspected of using paperwork to swindle someone out of a Land Cruiser...)

Otherwise, why would she choose to fight in this environment when she could be fishing peacefully on the boat?

A series of smoke grenades were thrown out to cover Ye Yun's sprint route. The enemy obviously understood this as well and immediately started firing fiercely at the back door!

"Tsk! Five people?!" Rachel looked at the flashing gun barrels with annoyance and found four or five positions firing fiercely. "Including the sniper, there may be six."

"Clang!" The glass window shattered again, and a figure crashed through the window and rushed out, then rolled on the spot and rushed directly towards the truck.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

"Tch! You're asking for it!" The Zeon agent sneered, then raised his hand and aimed his scope at the center, directly at the cockpit entrance. If this guy wanted to activate the MS, this was the place he couldn't escape! He would just wait and see what tricks this guy could pull!

Then, he saw a cylinder gently bump against the hatch in the scope! The next instant, a blinding light filled his entire field of vision.

"Damn it!" The agent's eyes stung from the bright light, tears streaming down his face. He cursed aloud, frantically pulling the trigger. Even when blinded by the flashbang, he didn't forget to keep his balance. He was 7% sure of victory; the gun was still pointed at the cockpit of what appeared to be an industrial robot.

————————————————————————————————————————————

The sound of the bullet colliding with the outer steel plate of the Leon was crisp and loud. Amidst this whistling sound, Ye Yun lowered his head and pressed a button next to the cockpit.

The armored door to the cockpit rose, blocking the remaining shots. Ye Yun grabbed the assistant on the door, flipped over and jumped inside. The moment he sat down, Ye Yun reached out and pressed a button on a panel next to him. His fingerprint was immediately recognized, and the equipment in the cockpit started up smoothly.

Of course, there is also a spare mechanical start button under the seat, which requires the start key to start.

It's nothing. Even someone like Ye Yun, who's into Gundam, knows that stealing Gundams is a famous meme.

The instant it started, a line of text popped up on the screen in front of Ye Yun:

General admission

Unilateral

Neuro-Link

Dispersive

Autonomic

Maneuvers

GAT-00

里奥

Driver: Ye Yun.

As a transmigrator who knew some Gundam references and had watched the SEED anime, Ye Yun had no intention of missing out on the MS manufacturing business when he discovered he had this opportunity. After all, AE Corporation was able to achieve its later status precisely because they seized the opportunity and became the main contractor for MS production, thus rising to the top in one step.

Therefore, this Leo is a product that embodies the ambitions of Ye Yun and his friends. It is a military-grade design of Ye's Heavy Industry's industrial robots. All key equipment has been replaced with military-grade standards, and the MS's basic architecture and power components have also been strengthened and modified with military objectives in mind.

In other words, given further weapon testing and design, Ye's Heavy Industries' currently best-selling industrial robot production line... might very well be able to directly begin producing some other exciting and desirable products.

As the cockpit door closed, the camera on Leo's head projected the image onto the screen in front of Ye Yun. Ye Yun took a deep breath, quickly turned on a series of switches, and watched as the battery storage pack and power unit started to come online on the screen. He then stepped on the pedals and operated a series of devices to start up.

"Run!" Hearing the faint hum of the motor, the crew members surrounding the vehicle immediately threw smoke bombs in all directions and quickly ran away.

"Rachel, situation report. I think it's time to start the counterattack." Under Ye Yun's control, Leo slowly stood up. The camera switched modes, and the radar scanned the surrounding area. There were quite a few vehicles, but no combat vehicles worth mentioning. "However! Let's deal with these guys first!"

Under Ye Yun's guidance, Leo reached out and grabbed a forklift that appeared to be used for transporting hay and agricultural fertilizer, and threw it directly to a spot not far away. Although it looked like a toy car that an adult would throw, at that moment, it was clear that the one who was hit would definitely not agree with such an idea.

"Well done, boss! Now, take care of the ones in front!" Doris rushed into the Maas family mansion and happened to turn around and see this scene. The gunmen who had been firing at them nonstop suddenly fell silent. Doris's eyes suddenly lit up with interest.

————————————————————————————————————————

"Thump!" A loud collision sound came from behind, and a cloud of dust could even be seen rising.

This almost instantly attracted the attention of everyone in front, and the rioters even forgot to continue their attack for a moment, after all, such a noise was indeed too eye-catching.

Of course, we should also add the huge shadow that slowly rose up!

"Hey, hey, hey... what is that thing?!" In the darkness, a huge black shadow rose up at the back of the manor, startling the thugs who were exchanging fire with the Mas family bodyguards! After all, a steel giant that was nearly 20 meters tall was incredibly imposing.

At that moment, seemingly after all the equipment in the machine had finished starting up, the massive steel body rose up and, with a slightly lowered head, looked down at them. Before the thugs could say anything, the headlights on both shoulders suddenly shone on them at the entrance of the manor. In that instant, they were blinded by the bright light, as if they had been hit by a flashbang, unable to open their eyes despite their shouting.

In this situation, lacking any professional training, they instinctively stood still, rubbing their eyes and making no further reaction. When they finally managed to open their eyes, they were met with a crowbar suddenly swung down!

The thugs in the lead SUV wished they had two more legs. They jumped out of the car, screaming and crying, but they still couldn't avoid it. The vehicle was instantly crushed and used as a weapon by this steel giant! With a simple sideways shove, the wrecked vehicle flew out and knocked down a group of people. These thugs were not soldiers to begin with, and after seeing this, they finally broke down completely and began to flee.

However, what Ye Yun didn't know was that at this moment, someone was standing on a distant hillside, holding up binoculars and watching the scene before him. Before turning away, he remarked, "This really is an interesting sight."
