Chapter 179
These Gundams have various abilities: some are immune to physical attacks, some can fire ultra-long-range beam cannons, some can directly distort gravity, and some can even predict the future!
The things mentioned earlier, like immunity to physical attacks, super long-range beam cannons, and distorted Zhongli, can be explained using physics. But what exactly is this "predicting the future" thing?
In this situation, even regular armies are completely unable to fight against these magical mechs!
A person suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Inaho Kaizuka! A first-year high school student.
Regular armies were powerless against these fantastical mechs, but who was Inaho Kaizuka? He was the top science student in his school! With his strong knowledge of physics and mathematics, he used only a basic training mech and the most conventional weapons to take down these superpowered mechs one by one.
No nuclear-powered mechs are needed; just a training mech and a gun are enough to wipe out all the enemies!
In real life, it would be like flying a trainer jet and taking down one of the world's most advanced fighter jets one by one! What a terrifying story!
This is Inaho Kaizuka, Cheating Engineering Man!
Looking at the protagonists of other Gundam series, they all basically go through a growth process. In the early stages, they are usually shouting and yelling, "Why are we fighting?", and they are quite clumsy. In the end, it becomes about fighting for the world, for the future of humanity, and for mutual understanding, and suddenly their perspective broadens.
But Inaho was different. This Cheating Engineering Man remained calm and composed from the very beginning. Even when faced with a missile attack, he could immediately calculate the missile's target and blast radius, and then say to the people around him with a blank expression, "The missile is coming."
After that, he took down super-powered Gundams with a single shot, remaining expressionless from beginning to end, only raising his voice slightly during the final battle.
Mutual understanding, the future of humanity—I'm just taking care of my enemies one by one!
In the world of mecha battle games, Li Yue is willing to call Inaho Kaizuka the ultimate cool queen!
One is the Kira God possesses a high-performance machine and can unleash its full potential, while the other is the Inaho God pilots the worst training machine but can use his powerful knowledge and computing ability to precisely snipe enemy elites on the battlefield.
The fact that the gods of war from both Gundam worlds had joined this world made Li Yue extremely happy.
Originally, Li Yue planned to use Elemental Power as the energy source for his Gundam, but now, he'll have to upgrade it properly.
First, in terms of basic structure, Li Yue prefers the aesthetics of the mobile suit models in the Gundam SEED world, so he definitely wants to go to the Gundam SEED world. He wants to get the people there to help him get a set of design blueprints to recast the appearance of the True God. Then he wants to go to the neighboring AZ world to get a set of super energy so that the True God can have unlimited energy.
Finally, there's Elemental Power Elemental Power, which is used entirely as a means of attack.
In this way, Gundam SEED was used for design, AZ provided the energy, Elemental Power was responsible for the armament, and the perfect Gundam was born!
If you think of it, you should do it!
Since there was nothing else to do in Teyvat for the time being, Li Yue opened the Portal to the world of Gundam SEED without hesitation.
308. Heading to the Gundam SEED World
[The Strongest Coordinator: Compared to the technology here, I feel that your magic is much more amazing. That kind of magic that only appears on TV seems so unscientific, it's really amazing.]
[So Arrogant! Yes, magic is indeed amazing, and most importantly, magic doesn't have as many complex foundational concepts as science—at least, I don't think it does.]
[Perverted Scum Man: That's absolutely true. In my world, magic can be learned simply by speaking it. And if you want the magic to become stronger, you just need to keep adding points. Overall, it's really simple.]
[Cheating Engineering Man: All I need to do is add some points. It feels like playing a game. It's so great! If only life could be as simple as playing a game.]
[The Strongest Coordinator: This is a bit too difficult, but life would definitely be better if it were simpler. Lately, the scale of the war in my world is getting bigger and bigger. I wonder when it will end.]
[Cheating Engineering Man: Ending a war isn't easy; at least one or both sides have to be unable to hold on. In my world, although there's currently a truce, war could break out again at any time, and the Earth military is constantly regrouping and preparing for battle.]
[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: You, a high school student, want to go to the battlefield? Looks like the situation on Earth in your world is really quite dire.]
[The Strongest Coordinator: I hope the war will end.]
On the Heliopolis satellite, Kira Yamato looked at the messages posted by the engineering students in the Chat Group and couldn't help but sigh.
"I never imagined that war would be happening in another world as well."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, human history is a history of war. As long as humanity exists and conflicts arise over resources, power, and even religious beliefs, there will be wars."
The sudden sound behind him startled Kira, considering himself an ordinary college student, jumped up from his chair.
"Who!?"
"Hi, Kira, I'm Li Yue, the Chat Group Leader."
"Well?"
Li Yue's self-introduction left Kira completely dumbfounded.
"You... you're the Group Leader?"
"That's right, it's that Meme Lord in the Chat Group."
"But isn't this Chat Group connecting different worlds? Why are you here?"
The world of Gundam SEED is technologically advanced, but its communication system is not particularly advanced. This is mainly because the distances in space are too great, especially for independent satellites like these. It is very difficult to know news from the outside world, and they are basically in a state of communication isolation. After all, with such a vast distance in space, it is really difficult to increase the power to achieve real-time communication.
Therefore, communication software is basically unable to contact people too far away in the universe. Under these circumstances, Kira Yamato has great faith in the Chat Group that appears in the air before him. People from different worlds, what a dreamlike thing!
The people in the Chat Group actually appeared in real life, so wouldn't this connection between different worlds mean...?
"Don't worry, the Chat Group isn't fake. It's my ability; I can travel to different worlds."
Li Yue could roughly guess what Kira was thinking from his disappointed expression, so she immediately spoke up to comfort him.
"You can travel to different worlds!?"
Kira's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"That's right, it allows you to travel to different worlds."
As Li Yue spoke, she drew the Enma's Blade and slashed it in the air. A Portal appeared in front of Kira. The Portal wasn't far away, only two meters away, so Kira could clearly see that Portal connected to the space two meters away.
"How amazing!"
As a student at an industrial university, Kira was very curious about this.
"So, all of this is true?"
"Yes, it's all true."
Li Yue nodded, confirming the authenticity of the Chat Group.
"Group Leader, what brings you to my world?"
"It's okay, I'm just here to have some fun. After all, different worlds have different scenery, so I always come and have some fun whenever a new person joins the group."
"I see."
Kira smiled happily after hearing this.
"If that's the case, let me show you around as a guest."
"OK!"
Kira quickly tidied up and then went out with Li Yue.
This is the Heliopolis colony, belonging to the neutral nation of Orb. Orb occupies a rather peculiar position in this world because the Coordinator have established their own nation, so most Coordinator are concentrated in PLAN, while Earth is dominated by Coordinator. However, there are also a small number of Coordinator on Earth, and most of these Coordinator live in Orb.
Orb survives in the cracks between the Federal Army and the ZAFT army under the guise of neutrality, but there is a reason for doing so: Orb is playing both sides.
Relying on the existence of some Coordinator within the country, Orb and PLAN secretly made deals. At the same time, as a member of Earth, Orb also secretly cooperated with the Federal Army to develop the X Series Gundams, which are the first Gundams in the SEED world: Hurricane, Duel, Blitz, Aegis, and the Strike Gundam that Kira will pilot in the future.
Furthermore, while developing Gundam with the Federation, Orb was not honest and secretly used the resources obtained after the cooperation to develop a batch of Gundams on its own, which is the famous Astray series. Later, it even developed the local M1 Astray in Orb's home country. It can be said that it has taken advantage of both the Coordinator and Coordinator.
The Heliopolis satellite was where Orb and the Federation collaborated to develop Gundam. Kira was even a developer in the shadows, though he was unaware of it and thought it was just a small problem that the professor had asked him to solve.
"Actually, there aren't many places to visit in Heliopolis. Because it's an industrial satellite, most of the area is an industrial park, the rest are mostly schools and residential areas, and finally, there's a relatively small commercial area."
Kira led Li Yue away from the dormitory and walked down the street, introducing things to Li Yue as they went.
"If you want to have fun, I actually recommend going to the mainland of Orb. The scenery there is quite nice."
This is indeed a good introduction for aliens, but Li Yue is an Earthling, so...
"That might be how you feel, but it's different for us. Most of the people in our Chat Group grew up on Earth, so the universe is more interesting to me."
"All right."
Kira scratched the back of his head helplessly, then pointed to the building next to him.
"This is the Morgoth, which has a partnership with our university. We'll most likely be working here after graduation."
Li Yue looked at the building next to her and smiled with satisfaction.
Oh, so it's the Morgoth that developed Gundam. It came to us so easily!
309. Infiltrating the Morgoth
Morgoth is Orb's most important technology development center. The Archangel was developed with Morgoth's Morgoth, as were the X Series Gundams. Later, the Astray series, which originated in Orb, was developed entirely by Morgoth.
Thanks to the Coordinator scientists within the Morgoth, the overall technology of the Morgoth can be said to be quite good. Of course, it is still slightly inferior to that of PLAN, after all, PLAN's technology is still more advanced. The research and development of all Coordinator even led to the development of a nuclear-powered Gundam with an anti-neutron jammer in the later stages. However, for Li Yue, what he needed was the most basic design blueprint of the Gundam, not a ready-made mobile suit.
"You want to join the Morgoth?"
Kira looked at Li Yue curiously, not quite understanding why Li Yue would be interested in the Morgoth.
"That's right, I'm very interested in technology companies that can conduct research and development in space."
"But not just anyone can get into the Morgoth."
Kira was somewhat helpless.
"If you want to go in, you need to fill out a visitor application, and you can only go in after the application is approved."
"Oh? Can't you just take me straight in?"
"Although I can go in because of the professor, I can't bring anyone in with me; there are troops stationed there."
"It's okay, as long as you can go in alone."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"It means you can go in alone, I can go in with you. Don't worry, they won't see me."
As Li Yue spoke, she disappeared from Kira's sight, a sight that made Kira's eyes widen in disbelief.
"What's this?"
"Just like everyone in the group said, it's a magic that makes me invisible. It makes me unseen by others, even by cameras."
Although Li Yue could no longer see, Li Yue voice still rang out beside Kira.
"Is this magic?"
Kira recalled the conversation they had had about Swords and Magic. He had watched TV series and anime about Swords and Magic back on Earth, but in this scientific world, especially with the advancements into space, everyone knew that those were just creative works. He never expected that it would actually happen before his eyes.
"That's amazing, how did they do that?"
"Sometimes, I don't really know how it's done either. I just know it can be done, but I'm not entirely clear on the specific principles. Magic is sometimes a very illogical way of using energy, turning very pure power into all sorts of tricks."
Magic can be so wondrous and illogical at times. You don't need to know the principles; you just need to use it according to the rules. However, what Li Yue used wasn't magic, but Elemental Power converted from Reiatsu. The application of spiritual power was more for the power of the base and some Kido. Anyway, it wasn't Magic Power, but that didn't stop Li Yue from calling it Magic Power. It was just a very unscientific power.
"Anyway, I want to go inside and have a look. Kira, could you show me around?"
"Hmm, it should be fine. It's just an ordinary research institute, mainly focused on program research."
Kira naively thought there wasn't much inside the Morgoth, since he only occasionally went in to help the professor modify the OS. However, what he didn't know was that the OS he was in charge of was not an ordinary program, but the control OS for Gundam. The X Series Gundam being developed within the Morgoth had already been completed, but the control OS had not yet been developed.
The X Series Gundams were manufactured by the GINN series to combat the ZAFT army. Their basic operating method is also very similar to the GINN series: a humanoid skeleton with external armor, and then equipped with a more advanced beam rifle and beam saber.
However, compared to the powerful control and physical endurance of the Coordinator, Coordinator are not strong enough and their processing ability is not enough. Therefore, even Mu La Frada, the Federal Army's ace pilot with the title of "Eagle of Endymion," was unable to pilot it because there was no OS available for Coordinator.
Therefore, Kira thought it wouldn't be a problem to take Li Yue in. After all, Li Yue was from a world of Swords and Magic, so it didn't matter if he was curious about programs. In fact, it wouldn't matter even if he were given programs, since they weren't from the same world.
With this in mind, Kira led Li Yue toward the Morgoth's factory. After all, there wasn't much to see on the entire satellite. Although the satellite was large, it wasn't large enough to create a natural landscape. If it were on the Plant homeland, there would be some nice man-made natural landscapes, since that was Plant's homeland.
"Hey, Kira, you're here."
With Li Yue by his side, Kira arrived at the entrance to the Morgoth's staff quarters. Upon seeing Kira, the guards nearby immediately greeted him happily.
"Hello, Mr. Guard, I'm here to take a look."
Kira greeted the guards very politely. As a student at the Industrial University, he had been helped out at work many times before, so the guards recognized him. He even had an ID card that allowed him to enter and exit the Morgoth. After simply swiping his ID card, Kira entered the Morgoth's factory.
"Mr. Li Yue, are you still there?"
"Yes, I'm here."
"Yes, this place is quite big to be honest, but there are some areas that I don't have permission to enter. I can show you the parts that I have permission to enter, but as for the other parts, I can't show you those."
"No problem."
Led by Kira, Li Yue toured the first half of the Morgoth's factory. Basically, Kira led the way, and Li Yue followed, observing the surrounding environment to determine which areas were the more secure parts, which would later house the X Series Gundams.
After a brief tour of the factory with Kira left to go to class. Li Yue, on the other hand, made an excuse to go for a walk in the city, leaving Kira to go to class alone while she went off on her own.
After entering solo operation mode, Li Yue's destination was naturally still the Morgoth. He went back along the route he had taken earlier, entered the interior of the Morgoth, and then entered a heavily guarded area controlled by the military.
Upon entering the controlled area, Li Yue immediately saw a vast expanse of giant gates. These giant gates looked like giant warehouses, and what was stored inside them was self-evident.
