UC will eventually reach the stars

The meaning is: Kinias, let me tell you, I think MS should have XXXX, and it should also have XXXX, and it can't have XXXX, what do you think?

Kinias: I think you can shut up now.

“Normally, if our MS pilots only have three fingers (I suddenly understand, damn it, helpless face), it’s basically impossible for them to complete a series of MS piloting operations. So, how did you manage to do it?” Ye Yun said, looking at Daryl in front of him. This was no joke. Piloting an MS is hard work, at least more strenuous than driving a car… “Like I said, you can make your demands! For example, your family, or… someone on that Papua-class ship.”

Ye Yun had naturally heard from Sima that Daryl's attitude changed drastically and he agreed to surrender immediately after hearing that the transport ship had been captured.

“…” Daryl took a deep breath.

"Don't rush, think it over slowly. Let's talk about something else first, like... you?" Ye Yun looked at Daryl. He wasn't in a hurry because Ye Yun had a trump card for this matter. Sera's reputation throughout the universe was exceptionally good. All he had to do was push these people forward and say that they had attacked Sera. Hehe, what would the Principality of Zeon think? Sima and the others definitely knew about it.

Do they even have a choice?

Of course!

Just cross out the other options.

See, I gave you a choice, but it's a single-choice question, haha.

At this moment, a military policeman came in and handed the photo to Ye Yun. Ye Yun glanced at it and said, "Interesting."

In the photo, Ye Yun is wearing a spacesuit! Although the MS's shooting angle was a candid shot, there is no doubt that the fully equipped Dagger is standing in the Trafalgar-class hangar.

"Transfer the photos and Zaku wreckage to a Salamis-class vessel and have it immediately return to Luna 2." Ye Yun's order was simple. Next, Ye Yun and his team would be escorting Sera back to Side 5, so they wouldn't be returning directly to Luna 2.

"Yes, sir!" The military policeman nodded and left.

“…I was previously an infantryman of the Principality of Zeon, and participated in the first surrender operation.” Daryl spoke up at this moment for some reason.

"Huh?" Ye Yun was stunned. Infantryman? "And then he was injured? Was it... an explosion that caused amputation of his hands and feet? If that's already the case, why..."

“Because someone from my family had to go to war,” Daryl answered bluntly. “So I volunteered for the undead army.”

"Or should we send another one?" Ye Yun had heard of Zeon's outrageous methods and could only say that the Zeon government was ruthless to non-citizens, but even more ruthless to its own citizens!

“…Yes.” Daryl nodded. “Professor Kara, I hope you can give her better treatment.”

"The previous intelligence alone isn't enough." Ye Yun nodded, indicating his understanding. Men, it's common for them to fall for women, just like he fell for Aina. It's just that Aina wouldn't let him suffer, but he wondered what would happen to this unlucky fellow.

“…So the counterparty in this transaction is me.” Daryl took a deep breath. “The Ye Group will be interested, won’t they?”

"Haha! Looks like I'm the one who got seen through." Ye Yun laughed, then glanced at his watch. "Take good care of Mr. Daryl. You all heard that. I think someone will come to pick him up soon... Oh, by the way, let someone know to have the people on the Papua-class send this person mentioned over here and take care of him. Ye's Heavy Industry will contact headquarters for the paperwork."

"Yes!" The military police did not refuse. After all, what did it have to do with them if the big shots above were going to file a lawsuit? It was just a matter of transferring someone to the Trafalgar Class.

After Ye Yun finished speaking, he stood up, moved closer to Daryl, and patted him on the shoulder. "I'll help find a way to get the message to your family, and then have them go to the lunar city or Side 6. You'll meet there." After saying that, Ye Yun picked up his helmet, gestured to the two military police officers, and left.

"Get up, Colonel Ye Yun is quite easy to talk to." The military police lifted Daryl from his chair, but this time, they were gentler.

“Thank you very much!” Daryl did not refuse. He knew it was necessary, and that it was good news that his family could be freed from their suffering.

After Daryl left, Ye Yun's expression quickly turned cold. The target of his attack was becoming increasingly obvious; it was directly the Earth Federation Forces from Luna 2. They were even able to orchestrate a scheme with the Zeon forces to kill him...

Considering the obvious malice when I arrived near Side 4, it's clear the other side came prepared. To know my exact travel time and destination... well, that's a high level. The instigators within the Federation Army seem quite dangerous.

Ye Yun got up and took the bag of food and water he had prepared. These things, even if they were urgent, couldn't be rushed. All he could do was be grateful that Rita was by his side! His sensory abilities weren't very strong yet, and he couldn't compare to Rita's!

worry!

Chapter Eighty-Six: Hidden

"Colonel Ye Yun is approaching!" When the radar controller said this, everyone on the bridge turned their attention to Sierra Maas.

"Inform Colonel Ye Yun that we have two more hours before we set sail." Sera closed her eyes and sighed. It was all because of Ye Yun's teasing tone earlier. Now, everyone on the ship felt that there was something more than friendship between Sera and Ye Yun. But there was no problem, was there?

As for why it changed from one hour to several hours now, well... the Volga's cabin is quite large, isn't it? Since we're already here, we might as well bring back more to make up for the fuel cost.

"Colonel Ye Yun has landed and will enter through the third personnel entrance," the intelligence officer said quickly. Yes, the third personnel entrance is the closest to the bridge, so Ye Yun is obviously here to find Sera.

"This guy... I'm leaving this place to you guys!" Sera muttered before leaving the bridge.

"Yes!" the vice-captain shouted. Then, the moment the electronic door closed, the group of people exchanged glances, their faces showing smirks. Ah, who wouldn't be interested after witnessing the little bit of ambiguity from the new era's saintess?

"Here! I got this from the kitchen. It should taste much better than what you get on this transport ship." Ye Yun smiled and handed over a package that was visibly bulging with food.

"..." Sera rolled her eyes, but still glanced at it a few times. On spaceships, people's food is generally quite simple. Although they no longer eat "toothpaste," they rarely have a diet exactly the same as on Earth. After all, on spaceships, the general requirement is to eat enough to be nutritious; eating well is not really a requirement.

However, the dishes Ye Yun handed to Sera, although they were indeed pre-cooked, made Sera's mouth water as soon as she saw the names of the dishes on the label: Mu Shu Pork, Yu Xiang Pork, Twice-cooked Pork, etc. Although it wasn't dinner time yet, she still felt a little impatient.

Regardless, due to his national character, Ye Yun is absolutely serious about food! Clearly, Ye Yun took out his own lunch bag and gave it to himself.

"Thank you." Sera smiled gently.

"How's the situation? Is there anything we can help with? Right now, there's essentially a space mothership, a battleship, and two light cruisers outside. If there's anything we can do to help, please do so as soon as possible," Ye Yun said with a smile. Although he wasn't a fleet commander, this matter was, after all, spearheaded by Ye Yun, and it was a politically advantageous event. Generally, if Ye Yun offered to provide manpower assistance to Sera, Sera would most likely not object.

“You are not allowed to station troops here. Although I understand that SIDE4 is under the jurisdiction of the Federation, if you appear in a protective posture, our neutrality will be completely destroyed.” Sera poked Ye Yun’s chest and said very seriously.

“…Understood!” Ye Yun nodded. He did indeed want to suggest that the Federation Army simply station itself at SIDE4, so that no matter what Sera and the others wanted to do, they would have a guarantee of safety.

However, after Sera stated her neutral stance, Ye Yun immediately stopped objecting!

Although Sera was driven away by Daryl's fleet and forced to hide deep within the Side 4 colony, Daryl and his forces did not launch any actual attack. Sera and his crew were even able to leisurely continue collecting supplies, and when small transport ships were secretly transferring goods to large transport ships, the enemy pretended not to see it.

Just as Daryl said, from the beginning, the other side's target was not Sera's rescue fleet, but nothing else but to kill Ye Yun.

From this perspective, neutrality, in a sense, is a protective charm for Sera. However, this charm depends too much on the other party's character. In the midst of war, if she is actually killed, it will most likely be an unsolved mystery.

"How about this? After the battle broke out on Side4, it didn't immediately disintegrate. A considerable number of Side4 residents escaped from the colony. Perhaps we can reorganize it." Ye Yun thought for a moment and proposed another plan.

"What do you mean?" Sera looked at Ye Yun, somewhat puzzled. She should have made it very clear that if the people from the Earth Federation came, she would have to go somewhere else. Their rescue fleet's biggest lifeline was none other than this neutral status. She could secretly lean towards the Federation, but she absolutely could not openly lean towards the Federation.

"Let the residents of Side4 operate in Side4 under the guise of rebuilding Side4. They might not be assigned mobile suits, but they could clear the shipping lanes to facilitate your resource gathering," Ye Yun shrugged. "They don't need to wear uniforms or use standard Federation weapons." He added, "How about they fly under your flag?"

"..." Sera quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind. What Ye Yun said was quite tempting to her. If they were natives of Side 4, even if they were Zeon people, at most they would just nitpick. As long as they weren't wearing Federation uniforms, the other party really didn't have many excuses to launch an attack.

But this incident also taught Sera that sometimes you can't stop a bunch of lunatics. They don't care about these things at all. It's not that the other side didn't fire; at most, they just fired off-target and didn't actually kill anyone.

“Okay… but next time I might choose to bring some MS weapons. By the way, could we ask someone from Ye's Heavy Industry for help?” Sera said as if she had remembered something.

"Hmm? Ye's Heavy Industries? Is there something wrong?" Ye Yun was still pondering what was on his mind. After all, this matter had considerable political significance. The Earth Federation Army certainly didn't lack manpower, but why would Reibill support such an operation if there were no gains?

After all, it is wartime now, and every human resource is extremely valuable to the military. Not to mention that the residents of SIDE4 who are currently in the Federal Army are basically all skilled in some kind of work.

Although this matter was feasible and theoretically would indeed provide the Federation with certain political advantages, it would make things very complicated. Therefore, Ye Yun did not think carefully about the meaning behind Sera's words.

“I dug up some Rios from the cosmic debris, but most of them were damaged, and some were missing their keys. I think I need some technical support to make these Rios active.” Sera explained her situation, glanced at Ye Yun, and then hesitated to say that some of the Rios were directly plundered from the sales showrooms of Ye’s Heavy Industry in various space colonies.

After all, since the Leo statue hadn't been sold, it was probably, maybe, perhaps... the property of this guy in front of me, so borrowing it for a bit shouldn't be a problem, it should be...

After all, this was originally his business, so there was nothing wrong with him using some of his assets.

That's what Sera thinks! After all, Sera took more than twenty units and a lot of accessories from the SIDE5 showroom alone.

"Leo?" Ye Yun was a little stunned. Theoretically speaking, Dawn Heavy Machinery Manufacturing had sold tens of thousands of industrial robots in the past few years. Even with the latest Leo model, how many had they sold in total? Oh, if I remember correctly, more than 3000. "Okay, I'll tell my sister and have her send over the idle, hairy engineers from the Moon City. By the way, how many Leos do you have? I'll have them prepare some spare parts."

“3…200+” Sera seemed to hesitate for a moment before giving a number.

"Pfft..." Ye Yun looked at Sera with a strange expression. Something was wrong, something was very wrong! "The number of Rios you have is more than three times that of the Federation Space Force... Is that reasonable?" The Federation Space Force only has one battalion that they managed to scrape together from the Earth Force, and no more! But now, according to Sera, she has at least 200 Rios. Even if they are industrial-grade Rios, that's terrifying!

After all, Leo's base is similar to that of the short sword. As long as the short sword's system is flashed to Leo, theoretically, anything the short sword can use, Leo can use too. Oh, the backpack system is out of the question. According to Kinias's recent calculations, the short swords currently being produced may need further structural reinforcement if they are to withstand the backpack system, especially the high-mobility backpack. This was determined by Nores's tests, and the Dawn Society is currently in a state of chaos.

The backpack system is too powerful; the short sword, as the equipment platform, can't handle it...

What the hell is this?!

Xin Liezhi!! You schemed against me!

Therefore, the artillery armor reinforcement design used by Ye Yun is being tested rapidly to see if it can withstand the impact. Of course, the loss of mobility will need to be compensated for by a more powerful electric motor.

Simply put, add more flour if there's too much water, and more water if there's too much flour...

"What? Not satisfied? Or are you planning to requisition these industrial Rios in the name of the Earth Federation Army?" Sera hugged the bag full of pre-cooked food to her chest, looking at Ye Yun with dissatisfaction. "I've scrambled so many resources for you, and you can't even part with a single Rio? What a scumbag."

"I'll contact the lunar city right away. It's just that they might not have that many spare parts. The key isn't a problem. As long as the production serial number is still there, we can just make a new one. It's not troublesome. Even if it's gone, flashing the firmware isn't too difficult either," Ye Yun replied.

“Great! This way, the number of Rios we can use has increased significantly from 20, and the repair schedule for the satellites belonging to SIDE5 can be greatly accelerated.” Sera’s face lit up with a bright smile.

"Sigh... I'll keep it a little hidden, lest Luna 2 finds out." Ye Yun sighed. He wouldn't be able to tell? 200? Heh, that number... it's likely it could rise quite a bit more.

Chapter 87 One generation plants the trees, another… opens the factory! (9/9)

“Both Zeon and the Federation have sent supplies.” Sera smiled as she looked at Ye Yun entering. “Someone really has a lot of influence. We haven’t even reached the Loum Space Region yet, and both sides have already started to send hush money.”

"I can understand Zeon, but what's the situation on the Federation's side?" Ye Yun frowned. Zeon had really tried to steal a chicken but lost its rice instead. They wanted to target Ye Yun, and they probably also wanted to take control of Sera while they were at it, since Sera's political value was too great! Not to mention whether SIDE5 was actually under Sera's control.

Do you really think SIDE3 has no shortage of food?

“It might be because… the Federation forces were also involved in the fighting inside the SIDE4 colony, and they were partly responsible for the destruction.” Sera shrugged; she couldn’t figure it out either. “Of course, there’s also the possibility that they’re simply kind-hearted.”

"That's a rather lame joke." Ye Yun thought for a moment, and indeed couldn't think of any possibility. It couldn't very well be said that it was to cover up the debt.

"So... you're leaving?" Sera glanced at Ye Yun. They had already filled their containers with food and water (mainly ice for now) and returned to the SID5 space zone from the SIDE4 space zone. Ye Yun's mission to rescue and protect her was now complete, so naturally he had to go back to continue his established mission of training MS pilots. After all, for Ye Yun, the most important task at present was nothing other than training enough capable MS pilots for the Federation Army and then shattering the Zeon Army's last advantage.

And these signs have already begun to appear!

Compared to the Zeon Zaku II, which was developed in space, even if it was improved into the general-purpose F-type, the Zeon mechanics were plagued by numerous adaptability problems when facing complex terrain on Earth.

Alternatively, they might be in poor condition when they go into battle and be killed when facing the Federation army's short swords.

Either they didn't send enough troops and were killed by the Federation's Daggers, who had a huge numerical advantage!

They could only hastily redesign the F-type, while simultaneously enhancing the maintenance capabilities of the original F-type to engage the short sword, and at the same time, they rushed to develop corresponding equipment for MS combat, as well as specialized MS combat equipment.

Otherwise, Zeon would only be able to watch as the Federation forces, which currently hold an advantage in this area, begin to gain an increasingly greater advantage in the face of complex battlefield environments where the Zaku-types, which had been performing poorly, were now struggling.

By the way, recent news reports that Zaku has started using the TYPE59 90mm autocannon produced by Yeh's Heavy Industries. Although the different ballistic performance makes the aiming software not quite compatible, it is still better than the 120mm Zaku machine gun's "polishing the shield of a short sword".

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll turn back once you reach the port of Texas on Side 5." Ye Yun shrugged. "Be more careful next time. By the way, do you need me to leave you a copy of the MS pilot training manual?" Ye Yun took a deep breath and said, after all, doing so was, in a sense, a violation of the rules.

"No need, I don't plan to participate in the battle after all." Sera shook her head, suddenly gave Ye Yun a hug, and then floated away. "Take care on your journey! I won't see you off!"

Ye Yun, still being held tightly in the girl's embrace, was completely unable to react for a moment. By the time Ye Yun came to his senses, Sera had already turned and left.

“Little girl…” Ye Yun rolled his eyes, turned around and left the cabin. He quickly returned to his fully equipped short sword, and as soon as he turned it on, he saw Rachel’s face.

“Even if it’s a date, it doesn’t have to take this long,” Rachel teased her boss and superior with ill intent.

"So what's gotten into you, you little third wheel? Are you angry because I didn't bring you along?" Ye Yun chuckled, annoyed. As Rachel's boss, how could Ye Yun not understand Rachel's little habits? He just couldn't let her have her way!

"General Rebil sent you a message. He thinks you've done a great job and is quite supportive of your ideas, but he needs to provide more details. Doris and I have already started working on it, and she's asking for a bonus." Rachel smiled, referring to the SIDE4 residents' efforts to clean up the debris area near the SIDE4 colony.

This is a good thing for the Earth Federation Forces, especially if they are to launch a counterattack against Zeon in the future. Having a clean shipping lane is very important, since no one wants to fly through a wreckage zone only to find that more than half of their ships have been lost.

"Anyway, just hand the people over to Sera and let them deal with the rest themselves." Ye Yun shrugged, started his short sword, took off, saluted towards the bridge, and then turned and left.

"It's so nice to have a childhood sweetheart who would travel a long way to come to your rescue." The first mate looked at the departing figure of the short sword with envy, his tone full of admiration.

"Yes, and I heard he's the eldest son of Ye's Heavy Industry, a colonel in the Federal Army with a distinguished military record! Tsk tsk!" The helmsman next to him said with great envy.

"If you're really envious, I can help you contact a hospital to have the surgery. I hope you'll have a beautiful appearance after the cosmetic surgery." Sera glared at the two of them, annoyed. "Is everything done? The warship is about to enter port! We need to finish unloading as soon as possible! Then we need to return to SIDE4. Many people are waiting for our supplies, many people!"

"Yes!" When Sera said this, everyone became serious. A huge number of refugees had poured into the entire Side 5. There were very few places in the entire universe that did not restrict refugees, and Side 5 could barely be considered one.

The result of this was a huge shortage of supplies and a possible collapse of order. Sera felt very fortunate about this, as the future head of the Maas family, there was a group of talented people in the family who were being trained as future management cadres. Now, Sera was directly putting these people into the task of managing more than 100 million refugees in the entire SIDE5 colony.

What does over 100 million people mean?

In 2023, according to the old Gregorian calendar, Japan had a population of 1.25 million, France had a population of 6800 million, and Germany had a population of 8328 million.

This means that Sierra manages a population the size of Japan, or the combined population of Germany and France, just in terms of refugees. And this isn't the final figure; a steady stream of refugees is still entering SIDE5 from other places.

Sera could only try to find ways to settle them while also finding them jobs in different categories. There was no way people would cause trouble if they were idle. So, many of the production equipment that had been retrieved from other colonies were concentrated in one colony to prepare for the establishment of an industrial production line.

For this reason, Sera went to see Ye Ning. Ye Ning agreed that Sera could use all the patents and design drawings under Ye's Heavy Industry, but after the war ended, Ye's Heavy Industry hoped to acquire some of the factories selectively.

Ye's Nine-Tailed Fox's abacus beads have all fallen into Sera's face. Ye's Heavy Industry only provided some blueprints and patents, and then Sera handled everything herself, such as the production line and worker training. In the end, Ye Ning came over and reaped the benefits! As for the steelmaking that Ye Yun mentioned, Sera did think it was worth a try, since there really wasn't much SIDE5 could do right now.

The Maas family is not primarily an industrial family, and the only way to quickly absorb so many people into jobs is through industry! However, since it's an acquisition, perhaps she can set a high price in the future! With this in mind, Sera readily agreed.

"Send a message to the Zeon fleet, thanking them for the food. Next time, could you just send food? The surprise part beforehand is a bit too much." Sera sighed. In space, the Zeon forces still held the advantage, so Sera's fleet couldn't afford to offend Zeon too much. Since they had offered compensation, she had no other choice but to accept it politely and, at most, make a sarcastic remark.

"Yes, sir!" The communications officer at the back pulled out a keyboard and began typing rapidly. Who on this ship hadn't been threatened? Who hadn't wanted to vent their anger?

"This batch of supplies will probably only provide temporary relief. Until the planted crops are harvested, our shortage will remain very large." The captain adjusted his hat. "After we replenish our supplies here, we'll head to Side 4 to continue gathering resources. This time, Miss Sera, you don't need to go."

"What did they say about the hydroponic farm?" Sera nodded, realizing that this was the uncle's good intention. After all, she was now in charge of the future of hundreds of millions of refugees, and she couldn't rely solely on this method of collection. The right way was to help SIDE5 regain agricultural production!

For this, Sera expressed deep gratitude to the guys who planned SIDE 5 back then, mainly for agriculture, animal husbandry, and tourism! Without their approval, there wouldn't be so much land in SIDE 5 for Sera to cultivate. They wouldn't even need to try. If the war dragged on, eight or nine out of ten refugees here would be in trouble.

“It’s already built… I must say, Mr. Ye Yun’s strange ideas back then were indeed valuable.” Sera’s secretary scratched her head. The young girl couldn’t understand why the eldest young master of the Ye family had been making such a fuss, as if he were preparing for the apocalypse. Ye’s Heavy Industry had stockpiled a large amount of dehydrated vegetables and canned food in the warehouse of SIDE5.

“Yes,” Sera glanced out the porthole; the figure fully armed with short swords was no longer in sight. “Nobody understood this guy, nobody knows why, but now we should be glad he was prepared. It’s just a pity he didn’t prepare enough!” Sera turned and clapped her hands. “But that’s what we should strive for!”

"Yes!"
