"Second officer, please wait a moment."
After the meeting, when everyone dispersed, Gu Jin suddenly came up to him.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, He Ming nodded slightly.
"Let's go to the observation room!"
When they left, Sen Xue, who was standing on the other side, lowered his head, glanced at Mars on the screen, thought about it, and then raised his head and glanced at Gu Jin who was following He Ming and Belfast.
He also followed.
So, the four of them walked in tandem and walked all the way to the area where the observatory was located. Sen Xue suddenly saw Belfast who was walking in front turning around and walking directly towards her.
"I'm very sorry! Captain. Next, the major and tactician need a quieter environment. Please don't come any closer."
Sen Xue was stunned for a moment, looked at Belfast, then at the two people who entered the observation room, and nodded silently.
"If the captain wants to ask a question about Sasha Iskandar, maybe I can do it for you."
What Sen Xue didn't expect was that Belfast could see her doubts at a glance.
"What? Do you know about Sasha?"
"Because of some accidental coincidence! Captain, please rest assured that Sasha Iskandar's life is not in any danger. It's just that it's not convenient to meet you at the moment!"
After Belfast finished speaking respectfully, he added.
"I wonder if this answer satisfies you? Captain."
There were some fluctuations in Sen Xue's eyes, as if she had doubts, but she did not pursue the question further.
"Thank you very much, Lieutenant, for informing me! It was me who was abrupt! I still need to go to the first bridge to prepare for the next jump."
"Yes! Please walk slowly!"
Belfast said respectfully again.
"goodbye!"
Sen Xue turned around, her face full of doubts, but she knew that if she continued to ask, there would be no results.
But at least, she already knew that Sasha Iskandar was not dead.
The exchange between Sen Xue and Belfast ended, but inside the observatory there was another scene.
"Second officer, you are the pilot of the golden bird on Mars, right?"
As a witness to Chengying's first appearance in this world, when He Ming and Chengying became a member of the Yamato, Koshin had many opportunities to sort out the information he knew.
"Yes. Tactics Chief."
He Ming nodded calmly and looked at the red and blue planet in front of him - Mars.
"As expected. So, when you, the second officer, appeared on Mars at that time, you were responsible for protecting the Iskandar envoy just like us?"
"Well, you can say that. But, why exactly, I need to keep it a secret. Tactics Chief."
He Ming's words made Gu Jin frown.
Judging from He Ming's appearance, it seemed that he would keep many things secret. He was not sure for a moment how much He Ming could tell.
"If the tactician commander wants to know the condition of Sasha Iskandar, then please rest assured. She is not dead. She just needs to receive targeted treatment, mainly deep sleep, because of her injuries.
"
He Ming saw what Gu Jin was thinking and directly told him the news he wanted to know.
Then, He Ming stepped forward and patted Gu Jin on the shoulder.
"In this way, you can rest assured! Humanity has owed Iskandar a favor that cannot be repaid. At least we can still keep the envoy alive. Commander, what you need to do next is to focus on
During the next jump test."
"Maybe, this will be a battle."
"Understood! Second officer."
After some preparations, it was finally time for the Yamato to make its first jump.
But He Ming did not go to the bridge, but went to the aviation fleet's waiting room with Belfast.
When the sortie ready room appeared in Belfast, the pilots who were preparing to launch all turned their attention over.
"What are you doing?"
He took a step forward without leaving a trace, blocking Belfast behind him, and looked at Saburo Kato, who was standing in the aisle with a dart in his hand.
When he and Belfast came in, he seemed to hear——the sound of chanting?
"Oh! Second officer. It's Captain Kato who is training concentration!"
Hiroki Suhara quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.
As he spoke, he kept winking at Saburo Kato, asking the aviation captain who was a monk to return to his seat and sit down.
"Concentration?"
He Ming understood it as soon as he heard it, and at the same time, he also remembered that there seemed to be such a scene in the original work.
Just as the Yamato was making the jump, Saburo Kato stood in the aisle like this, throwing darts over and over again under the helpless gazes of the aviation team, with the sound of chanting scriptures mixed in between.
"Second mate, do you want to have a try?"
Kato Saburo ignored the look of his deputy captain Hiroki Suhara, turned his head, and pointed the dart in his hand towards He Ming.
This time, the members of the aviation team were even more impressed.
He Ming smiled upon seeing this and stepped forward to take the dart from Kato Saburo's hand.
"Although this is the first superluminal jump in human history..."
As he spoke, a shock suddenly struck him.
"It's begun! Superlight jump. Major, please stabilize your body."
Belfast, who was next to him, reminded him.
He Ming waved his hand and looked at Kato Saburo, who was also standing firmly.
"Captain Kato, how about we decide the outcome with this dart?"
Amidst the roaring vibration, Kato Saburo couldn't help but frowned.
To be honest, even though he was throwing darts and chanting sutras, he was actually hiding his uneasiness.
The first superluminal jump in human history, and it was a hasty experiment as if trying to catch a duck.
Not to mention Kato Saburo, even the heads of various departments who were on the first bridge at this time were not sure.
But the man in front of him, who had become the Yamato's second officer as soon as he boarded the ship, was calm and composed, not at all shaken by the strangeness caused by the super-light jump.
as if,
It was as if he was used to superluminal jumps.
As soon as this idea appeared, Kato Saburo cursed his delusion in his heart.
"How is this possible? The crew members on this ship are all pure humans. How is it possible that there are people who have experienced the super-beam transition earlier than them?"
Kato Saburo took a slow breath.
"Okay! Second officer, please."
"No, you first."
He Ming humbly gave up his hand.
That calm and confident look once again made Saburo Kato puzzled.
But he still took action decisively.
This time, he did not chant sutras, but gathered his mind and raised his hand to throw.
The dart flew through the air, leaving a slightly curved arc, and hit the target steadily.
"Crack!"
Everyone looked up and hit the upper part of the red dot.
"Oh!! Awesome!!"
Just as the exclamation rang out, a shadow flew past and hit the target accurately.
"Crack!"
Kato Saburo subconsciously took a closer look.
Heart in the middle!
"it's over!"
"ah?"
Kato Saburo and his teammates were stunned for a moment.
"The super-light jump is over! Everyone, I'm sorry! Bell and I will go first!"
As the door opened and closed, He Ming and Belfast had entered the first Gnaku.
Chapter completed!
