SDF-1.
bridge.
As the last and only space battleship on earth, the bridge of SDF-1 is always busy.
Whether it is various issues related to people's livelihood at the moment, or problems facing the fleet attacks of the Gerati aliens, they are all solved on the SDF-1 bridge.
As the captain of this space battleship, Grobar never imagined that he would see such a day again.
Fortunately, in order to put the SDF-1, which was reborn from the ashes with the wreckage of the ASS-1 as its skeleton, into service as soon as possible, the Earth Alliance assembled the top talents of the Earth Alliance.
It is precisely because of the existence of these top talents that Grobbar was able to maintain the operation of the SDF-1 and embark on the journey back to Earth in the vast space.
However, in addition to the issue of maintaining people's livelihood, Grobar also needs to always pay attention to the maintenance of the armed forces on SDF-1.
"Captain, SV52 has completed its test flight as planned. Please give me your instructions."
Misa Hayase reported to Grobar about the situation of SV52.
As the combat controller of SDF-1, Misa Hayase didn't quite understand why Grobbar specifically set aside a period of time to allow the SV52 to conduct test flights.
At the same time, she was also more concerned about the pilot on the SV52, no, that civilian would be involved in this mission.
"Really? Then, tell us about his situation."
Grobal took out his beloved pipe and nodded.
"The SV52 successfully completed all test flight missions. Judging from the data fed back by the sensors, the status of the SV52 basically meets the actual combat requirements."
"Just the SV52?"
Grobar noticed the words used by Misa Hayase.
Regarding Hayase Misa, Grobar knew this subordinate's character very well.
Rigorous and serious.
On certain things, he has an almost paranoid persistence.
For example, the difference between soldiers and civilians.
"Captain. Although the current war situation is very fierce, it is far from the time to recruit civilians to join the war on a large scale."
What Hayase Misa said is quite fair.
But Grobar knew the reason why Misa Hayase said this.
After all, there is a character in Team Skull who gives Misa Hayase a headache.
And he was promoted from ordinary civilians to become a pilot of SDF-1.
Grobar smiled and took a puff from his pipe.
Of course, the pipe was not lit.
This is just a small movement when Grobal is thinking.
"That boy's name seems to be He Ming, right?"
"Yes, Captain."
"So, have you read the report on him?"
Misa Hayase nodded.
As the key battle manager of SDF-1, she naturally needs to pay attention to the changes in SDF-1's combat power at all times.
"Judging from the report, He Ming was able to control the VF-1 to support the Second Defense Force and repel the enemy when the aircraft body malfunctioned. However, this does not mean that He Ming has the ability to become a pilot."
Hayase Misa paused and organized her words a little.
"The situation in the space battlefield is far more complex than we imagined. Judging from the many battles that occurred after the SDF-1 returned to Earth, ordinary pilots cannot adapt to the space battlefield in a short period of time. And this is precisely why
This is one of the reasons why our ship suffered heavy losses after it embarked on its return journey."
"Um."
Grobar nodded.
Misa Hayase said it right.
Although at the end of the Unification War, the Earth Unity tried to train pilots through various means in order to achieve large-scale training of pilots who could adapt to complex space battles, in the end due to the short time and the invasion of the Geraldi fleet,
Eventually it came to nothing.
"However, He Ming showed extraordinary acumen in that battle."
Grobbal thought about the data investigators had extracted from the wreckage of VF-1.
That is a piece of flight data showing that the VF-1 shuttled through the ruins of buildings with great sensitivity at a speed of over 300 kilometers per hour.
Such horrifying data made investigators once wonder whether they were hallucinating, or whether the black box recording the data had malfunctioned.
After repeated verification, the investigators finally submitted this result to Grobar.
This is why Grobbar decided to issue a wartime call-up order to He Ming.
"Sensitive? But on the battlefield..."
"Report! SV52 requesting communication!"
At this time, the communication staff's voice happened to sound, interrupting Grobar and Hayase Misa's discussion.
Grobar nodded slightly and looked at Misa Hayase.
Misa Hayase sighed secretly, turned back to his post, and connected the communication from SV52.
"This is Delta 1. Please speak!"
"This is SV52. Delta 1, there seems to be some movement in area 326. Please check."
Area 326?!
Misa Hayase was stunned and casually called up the investigation report on Area 326.
"Half an hour ago, the investigation team conducted an investigation in Area 326. There was nothing unusual."
"Let SV52 take a look."
Grobar stood beside Hayase Misa and said slowly.
"captain?"
Misa Hayase was a little surprised.
"Don't be surprised. After all, this is also part of the test flight mission."
Test flight mission?
All projects have obviously been completed.
"Understood! SV52 adjusts the test flight target area, the target is area 326! Start execution!"
Apparently, SV52 overheard the conversation between Misa Hayase and Grobar.
And, he adjusted his next actions accordingly.
"Wait, wait! SV52, please don't act without permission!"
"Delta 1! The order just now has been confirmed! Are there any questions?"
The other party's rhetorical question made Hayase Misa speechless for a moment.
Is it possible to argue that it was him who was having the conversation with Captain Grobar?
After the other party learns that those words were spoken by Captain Grobar, I am afraid they will be more convinced of this order.
In desperation, Misa Hayase had no choice but to adjust the surrounding investigation teams.
"SV52, another reconnaissance team will arrive in area 326 in 10 minutes for investigation. At that time, you will hand over to them and return immediately."
"SV52 understands!"
After He Ming disconnected the communication with SDF-1, he smiled slightly.
He Ming heard the conversation just now very clearly.
On the bridge, there was only one person who could talk to Misa Hayase in a superior-to-subordinate manner.
That is the captain of SDF-1, Grobar.
Such a person asked me to drive the SV52 for a while.
He Ming will naturally not let it go.
Judging from the movement coming from the SDF-1 bridge, Grobal seemed to have noticed him.
In other words, He Ming does not need to follow the step-by-step process to become an SDF-1 pilot.
Maybe……
[Dynamic event update! SDF-1, which was returning to Earth, encountered many obstacles. The large number of Geraldi reconnaissance troops made SDF-1 feel overwhelmed. In order for SDF-1 to use Jupiter next
The gravitational slingshot effect, the acceleration plan is not hindered, and the Gerardi reconnaissance force monitoring the actions of SDF-1 must be wiped out as much as possible!]
[Objective: Clear out the Gerati alien reconnaissance force that appears in area 326.]
really.
When He Ming took over the reconnaissance mission to Area 326, the mysterious voice also appeared.
"As expected."
He Ming was almost certain that the reason for the mysterious sound was triggered by his current actions.
326 area.
Originally, the SV52 test flight mission did not include area 326, but when approaching area 326, He Ming felt something was wrong.
But there is no way to start.
It can only be regarded as some kind of intuition.
Hence, the inquiry just now was made.
Facts prove.
This trial did bring some results to He Ming.
Grobal happened to be there,
Coincidentally, he also heard that inquiry.
After He Ming glanced at the propulsion fuel consumption and remaining capacity, he drove the SV52 to area 326 to carry out this "sudden" reconnaissance mission.
certainly.
He Ming's eyes also fell on the weapons column.
The Gatling cannon and missile capacities shown on the screen are both 0.
The entire SV52 is equipped with no other weapons except the tactical dagger newly added by Kuragin.
In addition, the current situation of SV52 can be described as "bare-handed".
"Wait! Captain! SV52 is not equipped with any weapons now!"
Hayase Misa also remembered this.
"Oh, is it so?"
Grobal actually just nodded, which was regarded as a response to his capable subordinate.
"Captain! Please cancel the mission immediately."
"No. I'm afraid it's too late."
Grobar held a match in his hand and seemed to want to light the tobacco in his pipe, but finally put it down.
Because, there is news from SV52 again.
It is a warning that an enemy aircraft has been spotted.
"This is SV52. Enemy plane found!! Enemy plane found!!"
"SV52, please evacuate immediately! Please evacuate immediately! Reinforcements will arrive immediately! Please avoid contact with enemy aircraft!!"
What Hayase Misa was most worried about finally happened.
The unarmed SV52 actually encountered the enemy.
Grobar picked up the match, rubbed it with a little force, and a wisp of flame burst into the air.
As the firelight flickered, the strong smell of burning tobacco spread toward the surroundings.
As the smoke lingered, Grobar did not stop Misa Hayase from calling SV52, but instead stared closely at the projection screen in front of him.
Above, information on the enemies encountered by SV52 is constantly being refreshed.
Enemy planes, three!
As you can imagine, this is a formation of enemy aircraft on a reconnaissance mission.
The SV52, which only has a tactical dagger, will probably be in trouble when facing this reconnaissance team!
However, this is a conclusion drawn under normal circumstances.
Grobar asked in a deep voice.
"How long does it take for reinforcements to arrive?"
Misa Hayase replied with a solemn expression.
"5 minutes!"
five minutes.
This is not a problem if the SV52 is equipped with standard weapons.
However, the current situation is that SV52 is only equipped with a tactical dagger!
"Combat bag three. They are standard type 2 and reconnaissance type 1. It's really expected!"
As the distance got closer, He Ming could already see the rough outline of the enemy.
At the same time, it was also attacked first by the enemy.
Several bright beams tore through the darkness in front of SV52 and bombarded straight towards it.
This is the light emitted by the charged electron particle beam cannon.
It must be the masterpiece of the medium-caliber electron-charged particle beam cannon equipped in the standard version of the battle bag.
It seemed to be coming menacingly, but He Ming drove the SV52 and easily avoided it with several barrel roll maneuvers.
At the same time, SV52, driven by He Ming, did not retreat but advanced, accelerating towards the enemy.
"3."
The distance was getting closer and closer, and He Ming could clearly see the brilliance of the enemy's charged electron particle beam cannon that had once again concentrated energy.
"2."
The charged electron beam cannon exuding the aura of death was so dazzling, but it couldn't slow down the SV52's sprint by even one minute.
"1."
He Ming's eyes widened, and with the movement of his hands and feet, the SV52 suddenly turned over and plunged into the void below. In a very thrilling way, it avoided the bombardment of two standard medium-caliber electron-charged particle beam cannons.
Seeing that the target was suddenly lost and the attack failed, the two standard combat capsules naturally refused to give up.
When the thruster's flames suddenly increased, the two standard combat capsules turned downward one after another and accelerated to catch up.
Little did they know, the moment they completed their acceleration and turn, an afterimage rushed straight up from below, and flew past the two standard combat bag types in a flash of lightning.
Just when an ominous premonition arose in the hearts of the two Gerardi pilots of the standard version of the battle bag, the reconnaissance version of the battle bag that was supposed to be protected behind them lost its signal and was disconnected from the communication network.
Ignoring the powerful overload caused by the rapid change of direction, the two standard combat pods forcefully changed directions simultaneously, facing the direction of the reconnaissance combat pod.
A tactical dagger was stabbed straight into the top of the combat bag reconnaissance type from above.
As one of the main components of the combat bag reconnaissance type, the radar suddenly broke under the stabbing of the tactical dagger, and was unable to stop the SV52's wielding of the tactical dagger at all.
Under the cracked steel armor, there seemed to be a surge of bright red trying to flow out along the tear torn by the tactical dagger.
Needless to say, this combat bag reconnaissance aircraft, including its manned aircraft, was completely destroyed by the SV52's tactical dagger.
"Click..."
The void cannot transmit sound.
He Ming heard the sound coming back from the tactical dagger, all the way along SV52's arm and to its torso.
The tactical dagger sliced ​​open the armor of the combat bag, completely revealing the interior of the egg-shaped cockpit before the eyes of the Gerati aliens.
frightened eyes,
The bright red liquid spread around the cockpit,
They are all telling one thing.
How did this poor Gerati pilot die tragically under the SV52's tactical dagger?
The tracer fired by the cannon swept across, but only hit the Gerardi pilot who died tragically under the tactical dagger, and was buried in the explosion together with his damaged combat bag reconnaissance type.
Above the dazzling explosion light is the afterimage left by the SV52, which has long since transformed into a fighter plane and accelerated its evacuation.
Just now, He Ming took advantage of the deformation ability of SV52.
Taking advantage of the moment when SV52 dropped instantly and disappeared from the enemy's sight, it switched to G form and suddenly pushed the propulsion engine output of its legs to the maximum.
Therefore, in the sudden increase in overload, the thermonuclear engine suddenly burst out of acceleration force, making the SV52 fly straight up like a rocket off the ground, easily breaking out of the standard pursuit formation of the battle bag before it had time to react.
It passed by and rushed behind the combat bag reconnaissance type.
As a result, SV52 used the tactical dagger in his hand to succeed in one blow and walked away.
This blow is truly beautiful.
However, the next battle will probably be a tough one.
Chapter completed!
