Chapter 178
"The cockpit was destroyed in the previous battle. If we want to reactivate it, we need to build a new cockpit. Fortunately, all the construction data has been preserved. If you need it, Father, I can have the Akademiya restart the previous construction work."
"Building it is definitely necessary. Although Azar and the others were encouraged by Dottore to build this thing, and it was entirely to complete one of Dottore's experiments, it is indeed a very good product. We don't need to look down on it and can make full use of it. However, we also need to make some modifications when using it."
"How should it be changed?"
Nahida asked curiously.
Li Yue glanced at the empty head of the True God.
"First, move the driver's cab off the top!"
305. The Strongest Coordinator, Cheating Engineering Man
Li Yue had never driven a Gundam, but Li Yue knew one thing: the cab had to be stable. If the cab was in the head position, then if the head turned or the direction was changed while driving, the entire cab would also rotate or even be thrown around.
Therefore, the cockpit is actually not suitable to be placed on the head. Moreover, even if it were placed on the head, the piloting mode of the True God is closed. It would be better to place this closed cockpit directly on the True God's torso and set the head as a 360° viewfinder, so that the cockpit can have a full 360° field of view.
This allows you to see everything around you while driving in the cockpit, which is a common cockpit configuration in many Gundam works.
Of course, this modification is not so simple. After all, it took a long time for the Akademiya to produce the True God. Now, such a large-scale modification will naturally require a lot of time as well.
In particular, the current the True God needs the Gnosis to drive it, but Li Yue does not intend to use the Gnosis to drive it. The conditions for activation are too harsh and troublesome. Li Yue wants to modify it to be driven by Elemental Power.
In this way, ordinary people still cannot drive it, but for Demon God like Li Yue, it is easy to drive, since Demon God have no shortage of Elemental Power.
Following Li Yue's instructions, Nahida had Alhaitham lead the Akademiya to restart research on the True God, preparing to modify it according to Li Yue's requirements. However, the Doctor had played a significant role in the initial design of the True God, which resulted in the scholars of the Akademiya making very slow progress in their research on the True God after the Doctor's departure, let alone making any modifications.
"Tsk, what a pity. Among the people I know, none of them have studied this. It would be great if someone did."
Watching the scholars of the Akademiya slowly studying the True God, Li Yue felt very helpless. He really wanted to pilot a Gundam as soon as possible, but unfortunately, these scholars were not very helpful.
As for the people in the Chat Group, Aizen is currently the only researcher, and since Aizen is pursuing the soul route, this kind of steel robot is not his area of expertise. Expecting him to start researching from scratch would probably be inefficient, since Aizen also has many other things to study.
However, just as Li Yue was wondering how long it would take to pilot a Gundam, it was time for new members to join the Chat Group.
[So Arrogant! Ah, it's that time of the month again; another month has passed without us even realizing it.]
[Perverted Scum Man: Yeah, another month has passed, and I've already died twice.]
[So Arrogant! Hahaha, so what if I die twice? Who hasn't died twice? Now, whenever I encounter something that feels wrong, I immediately commit suicide to go back and start over. As long as I die quickly enough and without pain, that's it. Eventually, you'll get used to dying and dying.]
[This Perverted Scum Man: To take the ability to rewind time after death to this extent in real life, I must say you're more impressive than me!]
[So Arrogant! Hmph, I've compiled many methods for quick and painless death, all for the purpose of more perfectly conquering this Otherworld. If you guys often commit suicide, feel free to tell me, and I can share my quick death methods with you!]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Sorry, let's skip that.]
[Give Me Some Face: Yes, let's forget about that. I think it's better to stay alive. But if the day comes that I have to die, I will accept it calmly. After all, as a remnant of the old era, what I need to do is pave the way for the younger generation to enter the new era.]
[So Arrogant! Wow! No wonder he's called the Emperor of the Sea; his words are truly exhilarating. The remnants of the old era and the future of the new... Hmm, I'll remember that!]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I think you could totally lead the young people behind you into a new era as a leader, instead of just paving the way for them.]
[Give Me Some Face: Well, everyone has different pursuits. What I'm pursuing is simply the new era that young people yearn for.]
[Meme Lord: Don't expect Captain Aizen to listen to you. In their world, every famous person has their own unique dreams and pursuits, even willing to sacrifice their lives for them. That's a characteristic of their world.]
[Give Me Some Face: Haha, the Group Leader really knows me!]
The unique feature of the Pirate King world is that everyone has their own obsessions and dreams, or you could say ambitions. Pirates all have their own dreams, especially the Emperor of the Sea, each of whom possesses their own obsessions, which is why they have Conqueror's Haki. The Marines also have their own sense of justice, although, judging from the current situation, the Marines' justice has become pure nonsense due to the existence of the Celestial Dragons.
[Little Clumsy: Hey Group Leader, what exactly were you doing during the Holy Grail War?]
[Meme Lord: What did you do?]
[Little Clumsy: How did you manage to save my mom, and what's the situation with my dad?]
[Big Clumsy: She insists that her father will die in the Holy Grail War, and that her mother is seriously ill, even though she's perfectly fine.]
Tohsaka and Tohsaka also appeared.
[Meme Lord: Simply put, I ended the Holy Grail War on the third day, so many of the experiences you remember didn't have time to happen, which is why your father and mother are both unharmed.]
[Little Clumsy: It ended on the third day!?]
[Meme Lord: That's right, after all, there's no requirement that the Holy Grail War must last seven days.]
[Little Clumsy: That's true, but it ended on the third day? That's way too fast!]
Tohsaka Dairin expressed surprise at this.
[Meme Lord: Not only did I end the Holy Grail War, but I also obtained the Greater Grail spell! It's a pretty good spell.]
[Little Clumsy: What?! Is that even possible?]
[Meme Lord: Of course!]
[Little Clumsy: Um, could you share this with me?]
[Meme Lord: Sure, I remember the Fifth Holy Grail War is about to start where you are, right? I'll explain it to you properly then.]
[Little Clumsy: No problem!]
Time flew by during the chat, the one-month countdown reached zero, and new group members appeared before everyone.
[Cheating Engineering Man joins the Chat Group]
[The Strongest Coordinator has joined the Chat Group]
[Meme Lord: Hey! This is exactly what I wanted!]
306. Kira Yamato, still a college student
[Meme Lord: Welcome to the newcomer!]
[How arrogant: Welcome the new juniors! I am your senior Lai Yue Subaru, you can call me senior 486!]
[Perverted Scum Man: Did he just reveal his real name right off the bat?]
[So Arrogant! Ah, anyway, everyone already knows my name and appearance from my previous live streams, so two new people coming along doesn't really matter.]
[The Perverted Scum Man: Oh right, I'll join you then. Welcome newcomer, I'm your senior, Satou Kazuma. You can call me Kazuma -Kazuma senpai!]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Welcome, newcomer. But more than the newcomer, I'm curious why you, Li Yue-kun, are the first to show up and welcome us this time.]
[Meme Lord: That's because among the new recruits this time, there's a super strong one!]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: Oh?]
[So Arrogant! Could it be the Strongest Coordinator?]
[This Perverted Scum Man says: Someone even the Senior Group Leader calls a super strong person must be incredibly powerful! I never expected a super strong person to join this time!]
[Give Me Some Face: This is really intriguing. A super strong person recognized by the Senior Group Leader must be even stronger than me.]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: It really makes me curious. Just how strong must someone be to be recognized by someone like Li Yue-kun?]
Li Yue's words successfully drew the attention of everyone in the Chat Group.
[This is Hip-Hop: Hey, you, the Strongest Coordinator, come out and say something!]
Madara immediately addressed the Strongest Coordinator. He was joking, this was a super strong person recognized by Hashirama, and he had to see who this person was that Hashirama thought so, and whether this person recognized by Hashirama was worthy of his attention.
[The Strongest Coordinator: Huh? Are you talking about me?]
[Meme Lord: That's right, doesn't your name say it all? The Strongest Coordinator!]
[The Strongest Coordinator: But I'm not the Strongest Coordinator at all.]
The phrase "the Strongest Coordinator" essentially reveals his name outright.
Kira Yamato, who holds the title of the Strongest Coordinator in Gundam SEED!
[Meme Lord: No, you are the Strongest Coordinator, there's no mistake about that.]
It's true what they say, what you lack comes to pass. Li Yue is currently modifying the True God, but the people from the Akademiya are not good at modifying Gundams, which is causing the progress to be very slow. As a result, someone who is good at this field joined the Chat Group.
Kira Yamato, the Strongest Coordinator, is a genius when it comes to writing code and operating systems! He can even control a Gundam with one hand and write code on the spot with the other during battle, and then quickly put the code into actual use without testing.
Of course, he might not be particularly familiar with Gundam modifications, but his world has no shortage of people who are! Li Yue could easily ask the Gundam maintenance team in that world for help; no one knows Gundam better than them. Kira Yamato's arrival could be said to be perfectly timed!
Meanwhile, on Heliopolis Kira, a student at the Institute of Technology, looked at the chat box in front of him, scratching his head in confusion. What was going on? Was he hallucinating? Why was there a chat box in front of him, saying that it could connect different worlds, and that he even had the title of the Strongest Coordinator in it?
[The Strongest Coordinator: I am indeed Coordinator, but I am only a first-generation Coordinator, not even a second-generation Coordinator, so how could I possibly be the Strongest Coordinator?]
[Cheating Engineering Man: Um, what is Coordinator?]
[The Strongest Coordinator: Well, the so-called Coordinator are humans who, during the embryonic stage, manipulate gene expression to control it. Compared to ordinary Coordinator, Coordinator excel in average intelligence and physical abilities, learn quickly, possess immunity to many diseases, and are therefore better adapted to the cosmic environment.]
[So Arrogant! Wait, is the cosmic environment the universe I know?]
[Cheating Engineering Man: Are there any other universes besides that one?]
[The Strongest Coordinator: This should be what everyone usually understands as the universe, the cosmic environment beyond Earth's atmosphere. That's how we generally define it.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: The group members used to be all about fantasy or magic, but now it's suddenly jumped to science fiction? Even Coordinator to the universe have appeared.]
[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: So, is this Strongest Coordinator the human most adapted to the universe?]
Aizen felt that this "strongest" was somewhat different from what he had imagined. He thought it was a powerful fighter with extremely strong combat abilities, but it sounded more like humanity's exploration and colonization of the universe.
[Cheating Engineering Man: The most adapted humans to the universe? That sounds like a pretty impressive ability, like being from Mars.]
[Perverted Scum Man: Martians? Are there people on Mars?]
[The Strongest Coordinator: Of course there are people on Mars. As for colonies, they've existed for a long time, and research ships have even been sent to Jupiter for research for a very long time.]
[Cheating Engineering Man: There's an empire on Mars, but it was essentially established by Earthlings who went there. There isn't one on Jupiter yet.]
[So Arrogant! You two are actually from the world of science? It's so different from our world. Ours is all about fantasy and magical adventures in Otherworld, all about Swords and Magic. I never expected that two newcomers from the world of science would come in this time.]
[Meme Lord: Actually, Captain Aizen is also a scientist, it's just that his scientific research focuses on a different area.]
[The Cheating Engineering Man: Sorry, I'm not a scientist, I'm just a high school student.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You mentioned Mars earlier, you didn't go to high school on Mars, did you?]
[The Cheating Engineering Man: No, that's not it. I'm from Earth, and the Martian Empire is currently at war with the Earth military. Earthlings can't go to school on Mars, and there are no exchange students.]
[Meme Lord: Huh?]
There are actually experts here?
To Li Yue's surprise, this time, it turned out to be two Gundam worlds.
The Strongest Coordinator is Kira Yamato. This is almost a no-brainer; anyone who has watched Gundam SEED knows Kira Yamato's title as the Strongest Coordinator.
However, Li Yue didn't initially figure out the identity of the other Cheating Engineering Man; she was only focused on ****.
Now let's look at the information provided by this STEM guy. Goodness, if I'm not mistaken, this STEM guy is probably even more terrifying than ****!
307. The Nuke Song by Inaho God
Kira belongs to the world of Gundam SEED. In this world, humans used genetic technology to artificially evolve a portion of humanity into Coordinator, who are better adapted to space. They then used these Coordinator to begin developing the universe, exploring the moon, Mars, and even Jupiter.
They even established colonies on space stations, and then, as is classic, these highly capable Coordinator not only failed to receive the corresponding status, but were instead exploited by the Earth Federation's military.
So the Coordinator in the universe chose to band together for mutual support, and eventually even established their own army, then became independent nations and began to confront Earth.
Although Gundam SEED is considered a relatively new work, its background setting is extremely similar to the earlier Gundam series, UC.
It all started with the Earth Federation exploiting space colonists, and then the space colonists became independent and started a war with Earth.
The Coordinator of the Seed world established a nation called Plant, and their army was called Zaft, short for Freedom Treaty Zodiac Alliance. While the Earth Federation was still playing with fighter jets, the Zaft Coordinator used their powerful development capabilities to create the humanoid mobile weapon GINN, and then began to suppress the Earth Federation in space. They even launched a counterattack on Earth after the Two Years' War, and began to suppress the Earth Federation there as well.
To this end, the Earth Federation wanted to develop new weapons to fight against the Zaft army. With the help of some neutral Coordinator, the Gundam, which combined Zaft technology and Earth technology, was born. Kira Yamato became one of the first pilots of this Gundam and began his own story.
In the world of Gundam SEED, all mobile suits, from the original GINN to the later nuclear-powered Gundam, basically follow the basic laws of physics. For example, mobile suits or battleships used in space will be greatly weakened by the influence of Earth's gravity when they reach the Earth Sphere, and may even be unable to fly. For example, the energy of both GINN and Gundam is limited, except for the later nuclear-powered Gundam.
Basically, the overall worldview is quite scientific, which is completely different from the Unicorn Mystic Mecha in the later UC series.
Kira, too, pushed the performance of the mobile suit he piloted to its limits within the limits of the Coordinator.
But the other guy, who's a science and engineering student, is completely different!
The story involves high school students, and the existence of an empire on Mars, established by Earthlings in the past, which is currently at war with Earth.
With all this information combined, Hiroyuki Sawano's nuclear explosion anthem started playing automatically in Li Yue's mind!
ALDNOAH. ZERO, an original animation.
The world setting is also very simple: a scientist discovers a teleportation array on the surface of the moon and is then transported to Mars. On Mars, he discovers a magical power and claims it for himself. Using this power, he leads a group of followers to establish a feudal empire ruled by nobles.
This scientist became emperor and bestowed power upon the few dozen people who followed him. These few dozen people were the original few dozen nobles, each possessing a powerful machine endowed with special powers. This special power granted them unlimited energy, and each of them possessed magical abilities. Then, they began to use these machines to wage war against Earth.
In short, they are all magical Gundams that possess infinite energy while adhering to the laws of physics!
Isn't that amazing!
