UC will eventually reach the stars

“…I would like to hear more.” Gao Yun immediately became interested. He was not a businessman, but he was still a member of society and could understand basic business common sense.

"Look, the performance specifications of the Dagger 105 and its possible successor are public information. We also understand the fundamental reason why the Federation Army is procuring the Dagger. Therefore, we will not excessively pursue the high performance of mass-produced models. So, in the context of market segmentation, there is a gap in the high-end mass-produced market. Given that the Zeon Army has already begun updating its mobile suits, the Federation Army cannot possibly not need this," Ye Ning said with a grin.

“Since we’ve already formed a kind of alliance, why don’t you take this part? According to Heavy Industry’s estimate, the quantity is expected to be at least 1200 units. The profit from that is much better than working hard to manufacture short swords.” Ye Ning’s smile was very frank, as if he really wanted what was best for Gao Yun.

"...Perhaps this time I should ask: would you be interested in joining me for lunch?"

"Of course! Huh?! A fight has broken out over there, let's go over and separate them!"

"what?"

"Those tech guys are all dead-headed! Quickly pull them away! A bunch of big shots are here!"

Chapter 131 Details and Tests

"Michelle! That's great!" Ye Yun half-squatted down, smiling as he looked at the smug Michelle. The little girl really deserved to be proud this time! After all, the fact that the three of them weren't caught this time was truly thanks to the little girl's quick reflexes, ruthless actions, and boldness!

So Ye Yun grabbed Michelle and gave her head a good rub!

"Hey!" Michelle jumped back and made a face at Ye Yun, who then chased her all over the house. The two interacted as if there was no age difference between them.

"Watch out! Are you alright?" Rachel crouched down and helped Michelle up, who had fallen to the ground. The chase ended with Michelle bumping into Rachel.

"It's okay!" Michelle took the opportunity to hide behind Rachel, sticking her head out and pulling at Ye Yun with the corner of her eye, making another provocative face.

"Michelle, you just wait!" Ye Yun grinned menacingly at the little girl, looking like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Michelle shrank back in fright, then, realizing what was happening, stuck her head out and glared angrily at Ye Yun.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore, Rita. Can you tell me what happened that day?" Ye Yun straightened up. Of the three little ones, Rita was precocious, perhaps because she awakened too early. She had a lot on her mind at such a young age. As for Jonah, he was a bit too straightforward, the kind of guy the girls liked to tease. Ye Yun wasn't interested in teasing boys.

So, the precocious Michelle became the object of Ye Yun's daily teasing.

“They came very quickly. By the time we reacted, they were already in the front room. Since everyone knows this is your base, usually no one except the orderly would come here.” Rita’s account was clear, and all the key information was revealed. “Then, when they rushed in to arrest people, Michelle bit one of them and pulled out his gun, and opened fire. After that, Rachel and Sister Doris rushed over with the maintenance crew. Sister Doris fired a red signal flare, and within two minutes, the MS unit was deployed.”

"Knowing I wasn't there, and even knowing Rachel and the other two weren't in their rooms..." Ye Yun narrowed his eyes. "They must have known there was an operation and were waiting inside the base beforehand. Traitors within the family..." Ye Yun grumbled twice. "And they might have even used your power to pressure me into submission. Your families haven't been affected in any way, so you can rest assured about that."

The three families did not leave Dhaka. Yeh's Heavy Industry directly provided them with a house to open a dessert factory. Because of the high-quality ingredients and good taste, it is now a famous product of the Dhaka base. Many pilots will buy a portion whenever they go to the Dhaka base. After all, the desserts have pictures of the three little guys on them. MS pilots like these desserts very much and feel that eating them will bring them some good luck.

"Very good, very good... They're all interesting people." Ye Yun stood up, then Rita grabbed his hand. Rita shook her head at Ye Yun, indicating that he shouldn't dwell on it too much. Ye Yun squatted down and rubbed Rita's head with a smile. "Don't worry, I don't plan to rush over and fight them to the death. But the most important thing right now is to build a protection force. Something like this can't happen again. Luckily, they didn't take my computer. Otherwise, the secrets on it would have caused huge losses for Dawn and the Ye Group. My sister would have killed me."

Seeing Ye Yun speaking with a smile, most of them laughed. At the same time, they were very relieved that the other party had not thought about the huge value of the data stored in Ye Yun's personal computer. They only thought about capturing Rita and the others, and simply ignored the huge wealth.

"Rachel, from now on, you'll be carrying my computer with you when I'm not around." Ye Yun narrowed his eyes, then squatted down and flicked Michelle's little nose, letting her wave her little hand and hit him hard twice.

"Okay, by the way, the artillery combat system has been released, did you see it?" Aina turned the panel in her hand over to show Ye Yun the scene of a single shot blasting away seven shields.

"Hmm... there's not much to say about the basic operations." Ye Yun shrugged. "It's the finished product of Operation V, but I heard that Kinias and my sister have been invited to headquarters. I wonder what the results of Operation V are like when they see them there."

"Speaking of which, it seems the other party is also called Gundam, the same name as your GATX series." As Ye Yun's fiancée and Kinias's sister, Aina definitely knows much more than others.

"Is that so?" Ye Yun shrugged. "10MW of output is equivalent to the firepower of a Salamis-class aircraft. The Federation Army should be interested."

“I don’t care if the Federation Army is interested. I just want to know how long it will take before we see this thing. After we finish fighting Baikonur, it shouldn’t be long before we participate in the decisive battle on the African front. If we can deploy this then, the Zeon army on the other side will go crazy.” Sima leaned back on the sofa, took a can of coffee from Jonah’s hand, shook it, pouted at the little guy, and smiled as she watched Jonah run away quickly.

“We’ve already slaughtered their new mobile suits, and the Federation forces have captured their new large aircraft. All that’s missing is an underwater toy. What else can the Zeon forces possibly have to impress us?” Sima took a sip of coffee and swirled it around. “I must say, you’ve spoiled me so much that I can actually tell this coffee is better than the canned coffee we usually drink.”

"It can be delivered, but the first batch will have to be sent to space." Ye Yun signed the documents Rachel handed him with a sigh, then went to the other side...

"Ha~" Sima's face was very ugly. "Give it to those rookies? I admit they did play well in the Low Earth Orbit incident, but can they use it effectively?"

"Want to see it? Footage of them secretly testing things out of space." Ye Yun didn't wait for Sima's reply and directly gestured for Rachel to play the video.

"Yeah! I have to say, having connections is really convenient!" Rachel typed a few words on the keyboard, a smile spreading across her face as she sighed. This was truly from the bottom of her heart. After all, when Ye's Heavy Industry was conducting tests, they had to do it secretly to avoid the Federation Army finding out and ruining their orders. There was no other way; the production lines were already full and couldn't handle any more orders. Even the backpack production line was busy manufacturing more high-mobility backpacks and simplified land combat packs. The artillery combat pack was currently only in the preparation stage for mass production.

On the screen is a mobile suit that everyone is familiar with, fully equipped with short swords. It was Ye Yun's previous mobile suit. When it was being modified, Kinias thought that Ye Yun would use it for a longer time, so he reserved an interface for a backpack during the modification. Now it's finally coming in handy.

The shot was taken from behind a fully armed short sword, and you can occasionally see a Type 59 rifle swaying in front of you.

"Msai, Jung, the first test shot of the Zeon army has been discovered. Does it need calibration?" A female voice asked. Ye Yun frowned. It seemed to be either Lyra or Reiner.

“I think…” Jung hadn’t finished speaking when the Mega Particle Cannon fired. The Musai, sailing ahead, was directly hit on the bridge by the particle beam. The bridge shattered and exploded in the energy flow. Jung’s soft, mocking laugh could be clearly heard on the screen, whether he was mocking the opponent’s carelessness or weakness, it was unclear. “No need.”

Unlike traditional live ammunition, the bombardment of particle clusters is traceable, so after launching the attack, Jung showed no intention of stopping and immediately led his men to rush forward. It was during the flight that Ye Yun and the others saw Jung's fully armed short sword make a clear raising motion.

Then, the cold muzzle fired another beam, which not only pierced through a Zaku that had just flown out of the hangar, but also struck the ship's propulsion system. However, this time it seemed that much of the power was absorbed by the Zaku that had been hit and exploded in front, and it did not cause enough damage to the Musei's hull, but it destroyed the entire propulsion system.

Jung fired the last particle cannon shot at the enemy's hangar. The explosion erupted directly from the open hatch of the hangar, and the flames spread across the Muse! Jung's voice was very clear, "If you can fire two more shots or so, this Muse will sink immediately, without any finishing blows." This was clearly directed at Ye Yun; in other words, if he could add at least five more rounds of ammunition, Jung would be satisfied.

At this moment, three or four Daggers overtook the fully equipped Dagger piloted by Jung, all carrying 380 rocket launchers and rushing towards another Mse ship behind them.

Ye Yun gestured to Rachel, and the image froze on the moment when the short swords rushed towards the completely unresponsive Musai behind them. "The test was filmed when they ambushed a Zeon patrol in near-Earth orbit. The return trip was even more exciting than this, but they arrived safely at Luna 2 Fortress."

“Jung…this guy looks like he’ll be a very strong fighter in the future.” Sima narrowed her eyes. As a former member of the Zeon army, she was very certain of one thing: this Mse was finished, completely finished, and there was no hope of being able to retreat.

The excessive pursuit of maximizing firepower and multi-functionality by the Musai resulted in structural fragility. Simply put, the ship is riddled with weaknesses... Despite only taking three shots from the Mega Particle Cannon, the Musai is now crippled, and maintaining its combat capability is virtually impossible.

"It looks... much more powerful than the 180 cannon." Ye Yun looked at the Musai on the screen, the bridge fused into a heap, the hull still being sealed with glue, and the hangar still emitting a crimson glow. "Hmm... perhaps we can ask Kinias if the ammunition shortage issue can be resolved."

"That huge jar is already in the way, wouldn't it be inconvenient to change the jar?" Sima pouted, not quite understanding Ye Yun's idea.

"...It requires at least two MS to operate, after all, it's a troublesome matter... As you saw, Jung also complained about this."

Chapter 132 Mom, it's still early!

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about again?" Aina hugged Ye Yun from behind, her blush not yet completely gone, revealing her little tiger teeth as she gently nibbled on Ye Yun's shoulder. "What weird nicknames are you calling me all the time? Don't call me that anymore! You unfilial son!"

"Still not full?" Ye Yun turned to look at his fiancée, a smile on his face. Meeting Aina was his good fortune. "I'm just thinking, all my efforts were completely ineffective in preventing this from happening. Am I too incompetent?" Ye Yun, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stubbed it out on a Coke can and tossed it in.

“Ye Yun, guessing the war means you’re certain that this war is almost inevitable.” Aina whispered as she leaned on Ye Yun’s back. “But… no one could have predicted Zeon’s madness. After all, we thought they would try to win over or deceive the space inhabitants to the greatest extent possible, rather than kill them. We also didn’t expect them to drop the colony directly.”

"Damn it." Ye Yun looked in one direction, towards the location of Sima and his group's base. They were an exceptionally skilled group of soldiers, a fact acknowledged by both Ye Yun and the other MS pilots of the Federation. But... they had become a taboo for the Federation, no, for humanity... The lives of tens of millions of people, even if the primary responsibility didn't lie with them, still weighed heavily on their heads, a weight enough to crush their reason.

"Have you thought about what to do with Sima and the others after the war?" Aina wrapped her arms around Ye Yun's cheek and rested her face on his shoulder.

"I... I should be able to protect them, right? I could change their identities, distribute them among Ye's Heavy Industries, and make sure they don't contact each other as much as possible. Or I could give them some shops in a small city and let them run them themselves." Ye Yun took a deep breath. "Of course, there's another possibility..."

"They found their redemption, is that what you mean?" Aina looked at Ye Yun's profile. This was a rather subtle way of putting it: in a very important or significant battle, they fought a battle they had fought with everything they had, saying that they had made a final atonement for humanity, and finally all rested peacefully on the battlefield.

“Yes, perhaps for them, this outcome is something to look forward to; their self-destructive tendencies are very serious.” Ye Yun turned and put his arm around Aina’s slender waist, pinching it gently.

"Have you gained a little weight recently?" Instantly, Aina stopped thinking about anything else. After all, for women, body shape is probably a highly sensitive topic along with age and appearance. Even with Aina's beauty, she immediately became nervous when she discovered that Ye Yun was actually pinching the fat on her waist.

"What are you thinking? It's impossible for MS pilots to have a high body fat percentage," Ye Yun said with a smile. This was something that all female MS pilots were very happy about. After all, unless they ate sugary drinks and snacks at every meal, it was very difficult to be curvy with the amount of exercise involved in piloting an MS. "You have a great figure, don't worry."

"Yes!" Aina smiled happily. "Speaking of which, were they really after Rita this time?"

"Yes, Rita's superpowers aren't exactly a big secret. Inside the base, the pilots and MS pilots treat the three little ones like treasures. It's said that many people bribe the military police to 'take good care' of these beasts who want to steal children." Ye Yun wanted to laugh when he thought about this. After watching Jung and the others' tests that afternoon, Ye Yun went to the military police office.

Because of Ye Yun's special status in the African theater and his brief stint as the highest-ranking commander in the African theater, the military police naturally led Ye Yun into the place where they were holding prisoners, while offering him cigarettes.

Then Ye Yun saw a group of unlucky guys with bruised and swollen faces. When they saw Ye Yun, the man in the lead, wearing a tattered suit, arrogantly told Ye Yun to immediately have the military police release him.

Then, Ye Yun leaned against the wall, offered him a cigarette, lit it for him, and slowly started chatting with him. After being beaten up, this man was obviously extremely wary, and it was impossible to get any useful information out of him. Then the military police captain gave Ye Yun a copy of their interrogation record, which contained much more information. The man in the suit glared at Ye Yun hatefully.

Then Ye Yun's words broke down her defenses...

"You guys have been here for so long, and not a single person has bailed you out or vouched for you. It seems like everyone knows I'm difficult to deal with." Ye Yun tilted his head and shrugged at the military police captain next to him. "Well... guess... if I kill you all now, and Ye's Heavy Industry provides the Federation with two battalions of MS for free, guess how much punishment I'll receive? After all, you were the ones who tried to steal Ye's Heavy Industry's secrets."

"We didn't..." The group of people started to move, looking at Ye Yun in horror. After Ye Yun's words, the nature of the matter completely changed. This was almost a fight to the death. They suddenly looked at Ye Yun in horror. Just for three children, he would kill them all? Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?

If they actually asked, Ye Yun would probably tell them accurately, "Yes! You deserve to die!"

"My computer was in the room. Rita and the others saw you trying to steal and snatch it, and they stopped you. Then what happened next occurred. Now you're trying to shirk responsibility by saying you were trying to take Rita and the others away." Ye Yun waved the statement in his hand and handed it back to the military police captain beside him. "Trying to snatch three kids from a military camp?! Are you out of your mind or am I out of my mind?" Ye Yun and the military police officer next to him exchanged a glance, and Ye Yun gestured with his cigarette-holding hand, indicating that these guys were out of their minds.

The military police officers chuckled to themselves. With this blame pinned on them, Ye's Heavy Industries had every reason to act crazy! They instantly understood what to do. Ye's Heavy Industries was very generous, sending various gifts to all the federal troops in every region along with the short swords. Sometimes it was food and drink, sometimes it was even just handwritten letters from children. Whatever it was, the soldiers were all very happy.

As for whether this is true or not...

The information Ye Yun has?

Yes!

The original plans for Project G up to Phase 3 are on the computer, including some early design details for Phase 3, and even all the blueprints for the simplified land warfare version of the recently popular High Mobility Backpack. Would you like to take a look?

The legendary G Project Phase III! This thing is now a top-level military secret of the Federation Army, on par with Operation V!

Then the military police captain took the interrogation statement from Ye Yun, lit it, and threw it on the ground. The arrested man turned pale instantly. This statement almost meant that the military police had agreed to accept Ye Yun's "indictment." The next step would be a re-interrogation. Even if the people behind them immediately sent people to bail them out, the African Military District had a very legitimate reason to refuse.

The Federation headquarters cannot ignore a leak crisis of this level. Even if their identities are clean and they are not Zeon spies, wanting to leave? Dream on! Do you look down on the words "top secret"?

"Let the brothers stretch their legs and work up a sweat. The drinks tonight are on me!" Ye Yun took out a Zeon military cross from his pocket and handed it to the military police captain. "Baikonur found this. It's yours."

"Thank you! And thank you for providing new evidence to prevent us from being misled." The military police captain naturally knew that Ye Yun's ability to enter the military police headquarters, in a sense, represented the support of General Merck, the commander of the Earth Federation Forces' Africa Theater.

"Thank you for your hard work." These were Ye Yun's last words before he left.

Then Ye Yun, who was deliberately smoking and walking slowly at the door, passed by the large group of military police who rushed in. Just as he looked up and exhaled smoke, he heard a series of screams and wails behind him. Clearly, the military police were furious at being "fooled."

Ye Yun smiled, hoping that the generals at the Federal Headquarters would be in a good mood when faced with his sister who was determined to cause trouble. Of course, that was impossible.

So, while Ye Yun was leaning against the bed, he received a reply from his sister. The message was short, just two words: "Done!"

Clearly, his sister was already furious about Ye Yun being forcibly taken to space and experiencing three forced ambushes and killings. Now that she had a reason to cause trouble, she was bound to slam her fist on the table at the Federation Army headquarters.

Of course, the reason for the loud banging might be because they were extorting money...

It's just empty promises. Ye Yun has put forward many similar ideas before. As long as the Federation Army dares to ask for them, Dawn will dare to dig them up, leaving no room for doubt. Anyway, Kinias will be present when he goes to participate in the final node test of Operation V. Whatever data or information is needed, Kinias can just ask for it. We can't let the Federation Army get confused. It's just that Kinias didn't win his fight with Tim Ray today and is in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?" Aina saw Ye Yun looking down at his phone and came up from behind. Ye Yun took the opportunity to move his hand, which was originally around Aina's waist, up a little to feel the wind pressure at 100 km/h, and then Aina slapped it away.

"My sister used the evidence I fabricated to cause a scene at the Federal Army headquarters," Ye Yun said with a smile. Gao Pu clearly understood what he was doing and didn't stop him.

The saying "a kind person is often bullied" applies everywhere. Since we can't take direct action, I'll make sure none of your people leave the African theater unscathed. Then we'll take this matter to the Federal Headquarters. The receptionist is a guy named "Grave." Ye Yun is very curious about how they dared to do this!

In order to keep the enraged head of Ye's Heavy Industries in check, the Federal Army will inevitably have to allocate more resources to the combination of Dawn and Ye's. The pie is only so big... If someone takes away such a large piece of it, then someone has to pay the price.

"Hmm... Sister Ning just needs this one excuse."

"Yes, Mom~ you see, I can't sleep."

"...the treacherous son!"

Chapter 133 The Big Shots' Thoughts

"The little guy really caused quite a ruckus!" Rebil pushed the teacup towards Gao Pu with a smile on his face. Although it conflicted somewhat with the V-Operation that he was promoting, Rebil's appreciation for Ye Yun was growing. After all, Ye Yun's combat power and command ability were evident, and his tactics seemed very sophisticated. This time, he didn't even have to get involved himself, but instead left the matter to Ye's Heavy Industry, which might suffer losses as a result.

This loss is still a loss in the void... After all, in the initial statements obtained by the military police, everyone was very certain that they received clear orders to arrest the three young men around Ye Yun, and they did not mention anything about technical data.

But what they say is no longer important!

Ye Yun's things were in that room. They went in, and then Michelle bit the other person in that room, grabbed the gun and fired. This whole series of actions happened in that room. This is a fact that no matter what they say, they can't change!

Moreover, given that they were unwilling to explicitly state their purpose in taking Rita and the others away, the credibility of the ghost story told by Ye Yun was far greater!

But what can these people say? Capture Rita and the other two and take them back for human experimentation?! Haha, the military police in the African theater are bound to have a "surprise" here.

So it becomes a dilemma: either you admit you came to steal top-secret information and, if discovered, you plan to kidnap the child to vent your anger.

Or explain why you plan to take the child back...

Either way, it's a death sentence! The only difference is whether or not the true purpose of the person behind it is revealed.

"Hmph... This kid's quick change of tactics is astonishing. It's good that he's causing such a ruckus. During wartime, why bother with all this nonsense?" Gap shook his head. "Were the Salamis-class modification parts they brought out before really that useful? Did you make such a big decision on your end?"

“A patrol squadron consists of four Salamis, which can carry a squadron-sized force and have a certain ability to maintain and repair the machines,” Rebil said with a smile. “It’s just a pity that the modification kits given away at the beginning were too few, otherwise we could have figured out a way ourselves. But it’s good this way. By establishing a base in space, they can bring these smart little guys closer to the Federation Forces. Congratulations.”

"Hmph! With a little guy like that around, perhaps we can only watch what happens. For someone as uninhibited as him, it's actually... never mind." Gap shook his head. "But this time... what do you think?"

“You know I’ve never laid a hand on the army,” Rebil shook his head. “However… the Ye family didn’t take advantage of the situation this time…”

“That’s what makes that woman so terrifying,” Gap said, rubbing his temples. “Do you know what I heard when I came over just now?”

"Tell me about it." Rebil held his teacup, quite interested. Compared to the formal matters they were about to discuss, this casual chat was a rare moment of relaxation, especially discussing Ye Yun, such a capable and interesting young man, behind his back.

Thinking about this, Rebil truly felt a pang of regret. If Ye's Heavy Industry had chosen to cooperate with him from the beginning... well, because of Operation V, the possibility of cooperation was very small. With two competitors side by side, it was hard to say whether he would have firmly chosen to invest in Project G, or even if the people in charge below him would have directly used Project G's information to contribute to Operation V.

"Those advisors were laughing just now, saying that the so-called Ye family's nine-tailed fox is nothing special. They clearly came to cause trouble, but in the end, they still took the initiative to offer their technology." After saying this, Gao Pu sneered twice. What kind of vision is that? Sure enough, the other party is a nine-tailed fox, and you are not even a fox.

"..." Reibir sighed and shook his head. When the Zeon army began its operation in Britain, Ye Yun brought the GAT-00 prototype Leo to the Federation headquarters. He didn't ask for anything; he simply expressed his willingness to hand over the technology to the Federation to defeat Zeon.

And then? What happened next?

How much pressure did Operation V, which was primarily developed by the Earth Federation, face afterward?!

Whose warehouse is the entire Federation Army currently keeping a close eye on every day?!

Operation V, which was clearly developed and led by the Federation Forces themselves, was just now forced by reality to obediently share the market with Project G to ensure they could at least get a piece of the pie. You can't even find a reason to complain about this!

Looking at the immediate benefits? Ha, when Gap watched Kinias begin projecting, he casually selected a few files from the massive database of hundreds of documents and spoke with the people from the Federation Navy Design Bureau and Logistics Department. This move made many old foxes' eyes light up; Dawn still had something up its sleeve!

Moreover, the proposed features are indeed quite impressive. They are large mobile armors equipped with two large mega particle cannons and possess the ability to float, allowing them to carry mobile suits for assault missions. They can also serve as battlefield rentals, providing supplies equivalent to at least two supply crates.

And a large mobile armor with only one super heavy cannon, intended for opening canisters at close range.
