Because the Gipsy Danger is not yet fully modified, Raleigh cannot board the aircraft after returning to the Shatterdome Base.
He can only undergo rehabilitation training in synesthesia and mecha piloting under the guidance of a trainer, while also developing a relationship with his candidate team and selecting the most suitable co-pilot from among them.
Mako Mori had been quietly observing the entire team's synesthetic training over the past few days.
She was also a member of the Jaeger Academy and had received professional mecha piloting training. However, her adoptive father, Old Pan, did not agree to her becoming a pilot, so she transferred to the technical department.
According to Mako Mori's original plan, she also wanted to fight for the co-pilot position on the Gipsy.
Unfortunately, Raleigh returned too early; the mecha wasn't fully modified yet, and as the head of the mecha modification project, she couldn't leave her post.
and...
"Technical exchange mission?"
In Old Pan's office, Mako Mori looked at the documents in her hand in surprise.
"Am I to travel to another dimension as a representative of PPDC for technical exchange?"
For a moment, she didn't know what to say, and could only stare stubbornly at her adoptive father.
Old Pan was clearly unmoved by her act; he was used to his adopted daughter's personality. With a cold expression, he said to himself, "That's right, we have a diplomatic mission involving technical exchange with No. 3 Spacetime. Remember, this is a diplomatic mission!"
"PPDC will be handed over to Mr. Zhang after the Plan to Nuke the Wormhole is successful. It will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Mutual Aid Society, that is, the young gentleman you saw at the meeting that day."
Old Pan Liansen didn't even look at Zhenzi, but his tone became increasingly serious and earnest:
"This technical exchange was also facilitated by him. You went there to exchange ideas on mecha technology and seek inspiration for new mecha designs. Our last remaining mecha design team also went with you."
Through her adoptive father's explanation, Mako Mori gradually understood the importance of this mission.
"So, this mission is crucial to the survival of PPDC?" she said.
The design of the new mech is directly related to the survival of PPDC, isn't it?
Old Pan paused for a moment, then said, "You could say that, but we probably won't be called PPDC anymore. Even the mechs you designed during this technical exchange will primarily be for the Mutual Aid Society."
And service.
Mako Mori sighed softly; she had no right to be petty about such a thing.
But Old Pan also offered timely words of comfort:
"I know you want to take revenge on the monsters yourself, but piloting a mech isn't the only way to get revenge."
Even if this plan succeeds, the monster may still return, and we must rely on the Mutual Aid Society to maintain a constant state of readiness...
Old Pan, who is also uncertain about the future, is undoubtedly pessimistic about whether he can persuade countries around the world to maintain the existence of PPDC during peacetime.
His thoughts were almost identical to Ning Jihua's.
Even Mako Mori was well aware that maintaining the combat readiness of the mechs during peacetime would be an absolutely hellish challenge.
"But why cooperate with another timeline?" This was what puzzled her the most. Surely another timeline didn't also have mecha technology?
Old Pan recalled the information he had read about the Wandering Spacetime: " No. 3 Spacetime already possesses small-scale, practical nuclear fusion technology; their technology far surpasses ours in some respects."
Nuclear fusion technology?
Mako Mori was a little stunned when she heard this.
She checked it again, and her adoptive father confirmed with absolute certainty that the news was true.
"The small-scale nuclear fusion technology in No. 3 Spacetime has already been put into use on their space station, with very powerful results, and it holds promise as a new generation energy source for our mechs."
"So our next generation of mechs will use nuclear fusion as their primary power source?"
Mako Mori was stunned when she heard this.
A slight smile appeared on Old Pan's lips, and his icy expression softened a little.
"Yes, because we will be becoming a direct affiliate of the Mutual Aid Society, No. 3 Spacetime will open up all their technology to us, provided we keep it confidential."
This is the benefit of joining Mutual Aid Society.
If PPDC continues to be governed by No. 4 Spacetime, then No. 3 Spacetime will absolutely not open up its core technologies to them.
But if it's Zhang Tianyuan and the leaders of the Mutual Aid Society, the treatment is completely different.
Even the most core, small-scale, practical nuclear fusion technology can be presented.
After all, Sun Deyi had even given Zhang Tianyuan the blueprints for the Planetary Engine, which meant that the technology repository was completely open.
one
The thought of the next generation of mechs being able to use nuclear fusion filled Mako Mori with excitement and a surge of emotion within her.
Compared to this possibility, my own desire for revenge really had to be put aside.
The mechs that utilize nuclear fusion will undoubtedly undergo a new round of dramatic changes in performance.
When should I leave?
"Tomorrow." Old Pan smiled, stood up, and gently hugged his wonderful adopted daughter.
the next day.
The first batch of PPDC's technical exchange team to Wandering Spacetime has all gathered in Old Pan's office.
Mako Mori, too, took a break from all her work yesterday and arrived here early to wait.
After receiving Old Pan's assembly report, Zhang Tianyuan strolled out from the Gipsy's repair shop.
Is everyone here?
After asking the question out of habit and receiving an affirmative answer, Zhang Tianyuan opened the Spacetime Tunnel.
"Let's go, wait where we are when we get there."
Following Zhang Tianyuan's directions, the group quickly passed through the tunnel one by one and then miraculously disappeared.
Within seconds, only Mako Mori remained. She clenched her fists and immediately followed the steps in front of her into the dark tunnel entrance...
It's not what I imagined.
There were no unusual sensations, no nausea, no dizziness, and no physical discomfort. Xxs-2
"It felt like I only walked a few steps..."
Arriving in a new time and space, Mako Mori looked up at her surroundings.
This is an enclosed space with a low ceiling, making it feel cramped and oppressive.
Fortunately, the surrounding area was brightly lit, and many people in work uniforms were moving around, their smiles and lively atmosphere overshadowing any sense of responsibility.
There were also soldiers dressed in black uniforms, equipped with exoskeletons, and holding guns, watching every corner.
An exotic aura wafted over me.
Is this another parallel universe?
Mako Mori and the others marveled at this.
At this moment, a receptionist in a red uniform walked over, holding a small Horn:
Welcome to No. 3 Spacetime.
"Our timeline is facing a solar crisis, so we usually live in underground cities with complex terrain. Please do not leave the group to avoid getting lost."
