Chapter 23 The last six hours of determination (24)
The last six hours!
What a dumb smile.
Standing up and looking around, I'm afraid only half of the pilots still have combat capability.
The attack just now that was suspected to be a mental shock caused most pilots to have a mental breakdown.
Originally, as the most elite pilot on the SDF-1, he would not be so vulnerable.
But don’t forget!!
What SDF-1 has experienced and suffered at this moment has made the pilots who have been at the forefront fighting against the Geraghty fleet highly nervous, and their mentality and thoughts have almost reached the point of crumbling.
That attack that seemed like a mental shock might be the last straw for these pilots.
At the moment, this straw is crushing not only the pilot, but his hope.
The last six hours.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to gather a group of combat forces capable of breaking through the defenses of the satellite factory and destroying the core in these last six hours.
Right now, this is the only possible way!
Moreover, only they can withstand the erosion storm in a short period of time.
With the emergence of this idea, He Ming's eyes gradually became firm.
Roy Falk, who was next to him, seemed to sense something was wrong and quickly looked at He Ming.
But He Ming strode toward the passage to the bridge.
"Captain, please have a good rest!"
"Wait. What's your name! You..."
Roy Falk smelled something amiss.
Yes!
That was the special aura that Roy Fokker exuded after making a certain choice at a certain moment in the many wars he had experienced.
"Sorry! Captain. I have something to do and I need to go see the captain."
Generally speaking, ordinary pilots cannot easily see the captain.
But He Ming has a good partner.
"Professor Kuragin! Go and stop He Ming."
Roy Falk went directly to Kurakin.
The latter shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
"There's nothing I can do. Captain Roy. He Ming seems to have something that needs to be done."
"That's to die! What must be done? Don't think I can't see it!"
Roy Falk almost wanted to grab Professor Kuragin's collar, but held back at the last second, and finally just roared loudly.
Kurakin glanced at Roy Falk's tightly squeezed right hand and sighed slowly.
"What if he doesn't go alone?"
"How is that possible? Now we don't have many people who can attack."
Roy Falk smiled bitterly.
Except for He Ming, no one knows what happened just now.
Why did the fine pilot suddenly faint and even vomit blood?
Why do good pilots suddenly collapse and attack the people around them crazily?
Even if there are still some pilots who are in good condition and stay with SDF-1 to protect SDF-1, they can only protect SDF-1.
Why support He Ming? Why let He Ming die alone!!
"Yes! What kind of support do they have?"
Kurakin pointed to Gnaku not far away.
Behind the heavy gate is the Gnaku filled with drones.
"Nonsense! Are you crazy?"
Grobar slapped the table and pointed at the name.
"Do you know how many enemies there are there? What can you do if you rush in alone?!"
He Ming was silent for a moment and took out something from his pocket.
It’s the Smart AI Cube Adino.
"This is my confidence, or means! It is the key to doubling the QF-3000E's combat power."
"What?"
Grobal was startled and couldn't help but look at the intelligent AI cube spinning on the table.
To be honest, he didn't believe that such a small thing would be the key to doubling the QF-3000E's combat power.
Ever since He Ming took control of the QF-3000E UAV swarm for the first time, some people became interested in the sudden powerful combat power of the QF-3000E.
However, after various investigations, it was found that there was nothing abnormal about the QF-3000E's own combat program, especially the hardware.
Then, the only thing that can be doubted is He Ming.
But he was suppressed by Grobal.
Now, He Ming has revealed this doubt at this moment.
"Hello! Dear Captain Grobar. I am the intelligent AI cube Adino who is loyal to whom."
The intelligence displayed by the cube made Grobar's expression change.
"Is this what you're sure of?"
"I need SDF-1 to clear the way for me."
Apart from his true origin, as well as the weird countdown and mysterious voice, He Ming has nothing to hide.
He was forthright about his plans and made it clear that his goal remained the core of the satellite factory.
"Besides, the enemy we face may not be as scary as we imagined."
He Ming looked at Hayase Misa.
The latter seemed to understand the meaning of He Ming.
"Captain, just now, the Metlanti fleet seems to have completed the merger. From this, it can be inferred that the Gerati battleship group that blocked them previously may have collapsed or even been defeated."
"Metlandi Fleet? What's the current trend?"
"It is speculated that they are gathering strength. The Metlanti fleet probably does not want to give up the satellite factory."
Misa Hayase combined all the information at hand and gave his own speculation.
Strictly speaking, SDF-1 only suffered the aftermath of the impact just now.
The one who really faced the impact was the Metlanti fleet attacking the satellite factory from the front.
Grobar pondered for a moment.
He Ming didn't bother him and waited silently.
Even though the countdown in front of me is gradually approaching the 5-hour mark.
"Warrant Officer, how many drones can your AI control? With the combat capabilities shown by the QF-3000E before."
"Based on overclocking calculations, 100 is enough."
The answer to him was the intelligent AI cube Adino.
"100? 100 drones equivalent to the level of an ace pilot?"
Grobar laughed dumbly.
There are probably more drones on SDF-1 now than this number.
This AI opened its mouth like a lion and almost killed the SDF-1 drone in one breath.
But!
Grobar looked at Misa Hayase.
The latter shook his head slightly.
There are not many pilots left who can sortie.
"MACROSS will open the way for you. But this is the best we can do."
"Yes! Captain. I understand!"
Grobar waved his hand.
"I'll leave those QF-3000E to you!"
"Yes! Captain!"
The intelligent AI cube floats quietly on He Ming's shoulder.
After He Ming decided to make it public, he had no intention of hiding its existence.
After all, the deployment of hundreds of drones will be enough to mark a significant chapter in the history of SDF-1.
"Data link confirmed! System is online! Programming completed! Start waking up the body in sequence!"
The bridge quickly handed over authority to the intelligent AI cube.
As each QF-3000E wakes up from its slumber, it gradually improves its computing power and steadily moves towards the overclocking limit.
"Q1, wake up, enter self-test!"
"Q2, wake up, enter self-test!"
"Q3, wake up..."
While countless instructions are being executed, wisps of red light flow from the surface of the intelligent AI cube, dividing its small body into several blocks, which is really eye-catching.
"What's the name?"
A soft call made He Ming stop stepping into the Gnaku.
The pretty person is standing there, waiting for He Ming.
"you……"
He Ming stepped forward and took the child into his arms.
"Sorry! I have to go."
"But, are you the only one?"
Lin Mingmei paused and hugged He Ming tightly.
"No. I am not alone. I also have my partner."
"Yes! Little girl! Although we can't follow He Ming, at least we can give him a ride, right?"
Roy's voice made the two of them look up.
A pilot with a pale face, blood-red eyes, and even a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth tried to straighten his back and looked at He Ming and Lin Mingmei.
Roy Falk took a deep breath and spoke forcefully.
"This is not only your mission, but also our mission. Don't think of leaving us! Even if you can take away those drones!! You still can't do without our support!!"
"You, He Ming, are one of us! Why do you go to die alone? Why do you let us lie here and watch you rush in alone!!"
He Ming's chest surged, as if some emotion was exploding.
After he gently let go of Lin Mingmei, he stood at attention and saluted.
"Then, it's up to you! Captain, and everyone else!"
"Snapped!"
Everyone, including Roy, stood at attention and saluted.
it is more than words!
"So, what about me? He Ming, what can I do for you?"
Lin Mingmei looked at the group of Earth Unity's most elite pilots in front of her and asked softly.
"Sing for me and for them! Mingmei."
People with pale faces and red eyes ran in the Gnaku, putting pilots on the fighter planes one after another, and providing all the weapons they could get to the fighter planes.
Under the waving of the baton, the lifting platforms were raised and lowered non-stop, in order to send all the fighter planes into space and into this battlefield as quickly as possible.
One hundred QF-3000Es were ready for takeoff, arranged in 20 large formations on the left and right of SDF-1.
In front of them was the VF-1 fleet flown by SDF-1 pilots who were still able to dispatch, numbering less than a hundred.
What will they be called, opening the way for drone clusters!!
"Captain! All aircraft are ready! Please give orders!!"
Grobar stood upright and looked at the pretty figure standing under the podium.
The latter nodded slightly.
"After the MACROSS cannon is launched, the entire machine fires a salvo!!"
"What name and timing of attack are up to you!"
"Understood! Captain!"
"Then, please!"
Grobar raised his right hand and waved it vigorously.
"MACROSS Cannon!! Launch!!"
In the dazzling light, the pretty figure standing on the platform watched the SV52 leading the drone group towards the enemy and sang loudly.
"My boyfriend is a pilot..."
Chapter completed!
