CE71.
January 1st.
It's the beginning of a new year.
People usually hold various activities to commemorate this day.
In the Heavenly Pillar, there are also many activities taking place.
Moreover, with the addition of some new members, the atmosphere of Tianzhizhi gradually became much more lively.
Most of these new members are students from the East Asian Republics and industrial universities in Orb.
They used their vacation or internship period to obtain approval to go to Tianzhi Yuzhu to participate in the construction of the solar power generation system, and during the construction project, they changed their status as interns to regular employees.
This is the wind direction formed after the solar power generation system was successfully operated and achieved great results in the Republic of East Asia.
Because of the successful operation of the solar power generation system and the fact that the East Asian Republic has spared no room in investing resources in the solar power generation system except for the construction of new stars, the East Asian Republic has basically got rid of the energy crisis in the delta areas of major industrial areas.
It has attracted a lot of attention internationally.
Therefore, under various concerns and situations, becoming a new employee of the solar power generation system has become the first choice for students in the East Asian Republic and major engineering universities in Orb.
Moreover, in CE71, the first morning of the new year.
The East Asian Republic and ORB once again issued a joint notification.
"Dear guests! Dear journalist friends from all over the world! Today is the third month since the solar power generation system was put into small-scale operation. During these three months, we have encountered many difficulties, but we are also facing difficulties.
On this occasion, we found a solution to the difficulty and allowed the solar power generation system to operate successfully to this day."
"Therefore, we believe that during these three months of operation, we have accumulated the basic conditions for continuous operation of the solar power generation system."
The joint spokespersons of the two countries paused briefly as they introduced the operations of the past three months one by one.
And such a pause immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.
In fact, eyes from all over the world are falling on the TV and screen in front of them, waiting for the moment when the words that are in the hearts of most people are spoken.
The joint spokesperson smiled slightly and made the news known to the public with confidence and pride.
"Dear guests! Dear journalist friends! In view of the successful operation of the solar power generation system so far, our country, the Republic of East Asia, and Orb have decided to establish a solar power generation system-orbital elevator construction project consortium."
"This consortium will focus on the construction of orbital elevators and solar power generation systems, and strive to complete the construction of orbital elevators within 3 to 6 years, and let the countries where the solar power generation system can radiate regain their glory!"
"In addition, this consortium does not target any party, any organization, or any country. It only focuses on building orbital elevators and solar power generation systems. The armed forces possessed by this consortium are limited to within a hundred kilometers of the orbital elevator.
In non-emergency situations, such as intruders threatening the orbital elevator, or outside the solar power generation system, the alliance's defense arms will never step outside this range!"
Once this news was announced, it immediately caused an international shock.
The first one to bear the brunt is the Earth United.
You know, the East Asian republics usually keep a low profile, but their presence is always high.
Especially in the area where Nova and the Heavenly Pillar are located, after successive defeats of ZAFT, the presence of the East Asian Republic is getting stronger and stronger, forcing the world to re-examine this country, which is one of the three major members of the United Earth.
Then, the East Asian Republic teamed up with Orb to create a solar power generation system based on Orb's orbital space station under construction - Tianzhi Yuzhu. In just one month, the system was built.
Since then, the world's eyes can no longer take away from the East Asian Republic's every move.
Until, at this moment, the East Asian Republic once again united with Orb and announced to the world and the world that it would devote all its efforts to building orbital elevators and solar power generation systems, so that people who have been tortured by neutron jammers, suffered from energy crises and food crises, and who are suffering from famine,
News that people who are struggling to survive have regained their light.
Overnight, many countries neighboring East Asia and Orb sent ambassadors there to inquire about how to obtain energy, or to participate in this project consortium.
Looking down from the universe, most of the lights on the earth's surface have been extinguished since the dissemination of neutron jammers. The land of China has once again lit up the glory of civilization. I believe that no one can ignore the light that has been operating in space for several times.
The moon will even rise from the earth's surface in the future, linking the sky and the earth, flowing day and night, and transporting almost unlimited solar energy to the earth's orbital elevator - the existence of a solar power generation system.
Looking at the United Press Spokesperson on the screen who was surrounded by countless reporters and targeted by countless cameras, some were happy, some were sad, some were anxious, and some were angry.
"Why! Why!! Why did you agree and sign that agreement!! Why? Are we, Orb, about to give up our neutral status and participate in this war?"
Taking advantage of the arrival of New Year's Day, Cagalli left the Heavenly Pillar that almost suffocated her and returned to Orb for a short rest. She did not expect that as soon as she returned to Orb, she heard her father, the Prime Minister of Orb.
, Uzmi Yula Asghar signed the consortium agreement on behalf of Orb, and prepared to send Orb's engineering team and fleet to participate in the construction project of the orbital elevator.
Faced with her own questioning, her father Uzmi did not give any explanation.
Because, what was reflected in Cagalli's angry eyes was a hint of disappointment.
Uzumi sighed.
A trace of fatigue is fleeting.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on Cagalli's shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time at Tianzhizhu. You, please take a good rest first!"
"Snapped!"
Uzumi was stunned when Cagalli actually slapped her hand away.
"I don't need to rest!! I only know that Orb is now being led into the abyss of war!! The neutrality that Orb insists on has become a piece of waste paper!! I don't need to rest!!"
Cagalli roared angrily, and her eyes turned red.
"I just need Orb not to be affected by the war!!"
Uzumi frowned, and when he was about to speak, Cagalli snatched him away.
"I believe you know, father! The solar power generation system can be used as a weapon!! I have seen it with my own eyes!! The mobile suit driven by the pilot named Salamandini can rely on the power supply of the solar power generation system.
, one blow can destroy most of the ZAFT fleet!!"
"Such a terrifying weapon!! Why is Orb still involved! If he gets involved, wouldn't Orb face..."
"Snapped!!"
The harsh sound of the slap brought about the pain that seeped into the heart, Cagalli's rapidly reddening side face, and Uzumi's eyes that kept shaking, growing more disappointed, helpless and angry.
Uzmi took a few breaths and waved her right hand.
"Chisaka, Cagalli is tired, take her to rest!"
The man from the Iron Tower who was guarding the door silently stepped forward and grabbed Cagalli's arm, but Cagalli broke free.
"Aub, you must not participate in the solar power generation system!!!"
"You, this is pushing Orb into the abyss of war!!"
Uzmi's facial muscles tightened, and at the moment when the fierce anger was about to become uncontrollable, the Orb lion finally turned around and no longer looked at Cagalli.
"Chisaka, take Cagalli down!"
"Yes! Prime Minister."
The silent tower man grabbed Cagalli again, and this time, no matter how hard Cagalli struggled, she couldn't break free.
She just shouted and struggled, but she still couldn't get the Orb lion to turn around and look at her again.
It wasn't until the moment the door closed that a faint sigh sounded quietly.
"Cagalli. Because, no matter what, we are all members of the human race."
This is the update I missed the day before yesterday! It has been made up! In addition, thank you to book friends R Jiang and ZeroDark for the reward! The fourth update will be sent tomorrow!
