Almost a week has passed since the three children were sent to the spaceship returning to Nova and boarded the Polar Star to set sail.
During this period of time, there was nothing else to do except for the routine training plan and conducting air, ship, and MS drills with the Polaris.
In order to pass the time, He Ming once paid attention to the situation at the space port, but discovered an astonishing fact.
ZAFT indeed sent a fleet and airborne troops to launch an attack on the space port, but at the last moment, it was blocked by a combined fleet drawn by many small countries, and ultimately ended in a sad retreat.
Such development made He Ming a little curious.
It just so happens that Captain Feng Yun of the Polar Star has this authority and can know some inside information.
After going back and forth, He Ming shook his head after learning the inside story that caused the ZAFT fleet to retreat sadly. After finally sighing, he continued to carry out actual combat exercises with the Polaris as planned.
The fierce battle surrounding the space port in the original work ended in such a bloodless way.
He Ming was indeed quite surprised and admired.
If PLANT can produce those key industrial resources locally, I am afraid that no matter how loud these small countries clamor, this battle will eventually start.
However, the pain point of PLANT is right here.
As artificial colonial satellites hovering in the void, the colonial satellites owned by PLANT were destined to be unable to naturally generate various resources during the process of crustal evolution and ecological evolution like natural planets when they were first established. Therefore,
PLANT cannot escape its dependence on the earth.
"Sarah, what's the date today?"
After completing a confrontation drill between MSs and completing data collection, He Ming suddenly asked.
Salamandini blinked, carefully looked at the time on the screen, and said.
"It's January 25th. What's going on?"
"January 25th? I forgot about that."
He Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
According to the time of the original work, Heliopolis may have collapsed at this point in time.
Cagalli was either already on the escape pod, or she wasn't there.
Or, he died in the collapse of the colonial satellite.
"What's going on?"
As the opposing party, Sergei and Lockon also returned to Gnaku.
"Well, there are some. But it doesn't have much to do with us."
He Ming took off his helmet and thought for a while, but in the end, he decided to talk to Feng Yun.
After waving to Salamandini, Sergei and Lockon, he turned around and floated towards the elevator.
"Why does this guy look like he's worried about someone?"
Lockon looked at He Ming's back, rubbed his chin, and said.
Salamandini blinked, with a hint of gossip in her heart, but her face remained calm.
As for Sergey, he was wondering if He Ming had thought of some key points of the situation and was preparing to change the Polar Star's course.
In the bridge, Feng Yun looked at the report sent from CIC with some embarrassment.
This is the abnormal signal that has been received one after another not long ago.
The content of the signal was intermittent, making it extremely difficult to analyze, but it was not difficult to tell from the intermittent words that this was probably a distress signal.
"What happened? Captain."
As soon as he heard that He Ming was coming, Feng Yun immediately clapped his hands and handed the report to He Ming.
During this period of sailing, Feng Yun witnessed He Ming's inexplicable yet terrifyingly accurate intuition too many times.
Whenever He Ming is aware of it, the Polar Star can always follow He Ming's instructions to avoid ZAFT's fleet and avoid unnecessary battles.
"A distress signal?"
He Ming glanced at the report, and after feeling confident, he looked at CIC.
"Can you tell where it comes from?"
CIC nodded and responded.
"We are already trying to analyze it. Preliminary judgment is that it may come from the L3 space domain."
"L3 space domain?"
Although this is the preliminary judgment of CIC, He Ming has already determined the source.
"Captain, how many days are there from our current location to L3?"
Feng Yun pondered for a moment, then asked someone to open the space map, pointing to the icon representing the Polar Star on it and said.
"We are currently at least two to three days away from the L3 space. But the premise is that we move forward at full speed."
Feng Yun's implication was to have the Polar Star exit its silent stealth state and rush to the L3 space at full speed.
But He Ming's answer surprised Feng Yun.
"No. Keep silent and sneak. In this state, how many days will it take for us to reach or approach the L3 space domain?"
"At least five days."
Feng Yun opened his palms and gestured.
"Yes. The first two-thirds remain silent and sneak, and when approaching the target space, move forward at full speed."
He Ming gave the advice.
"What's the point? Forget it. Just do what you say, Colonel He! It must be your mysterious intuition again!"
Feng Yun waved his hand and asked the helmsman to follow He Ming's words, then looked at He Ming with a half-smile.
He Ming shrugged his shoulders.
"Probably! Maybe, from now on, it won't be time for peaceful practice."
When Feng Yun heard this, he clapped his hands suddenly.
"That's a good relationship! Although the silent stealth during this period is comfortable, it is too shameful. This Polar Star has not yet opened for meat! Is this considered its maiden voyage?"
He Ming shook his head helplessly.
Compared to the maiden voyage of the Polar Star, the maiden voyage of the ship now located in Heliopolis was much more embarrassing.
Inside the neutral colonial satellite Heliopolis, which was attacked by ZAFT, a debate was taking place on the bridge of the space battleship Archangel, which the United Earth secretly built here.
"Can this warship sail just with these manpower?"
Arnold Neumann, the commander of the Earth Alliance Army, looked at the female soldier sitting in the captain's seat and shouted.
But the female soldier fought back forcefully.
"If you have time to talk about this, why not think about how to do it!"
The current situation is that everyone who is still alive is trapped in this space battleship that has not had time to hold its maiden voyage ceremony.
Moreover, outside the factory, there are ZAFT mobile suits attacking everywhere.
Under such circumstances, rushing out like this would undoubtedly be courting death.
But being trapped here means waiting to die.
Female soldier, no, Natal Bakirulu is not willing to sit in this battleship and wait to die.
Before arriving at the bridge, she had already asked her men to find more survivors and bring them to the bridge to work together to try to drive the battleship out.
Only in this way can we find a way out.
Only in this way can...
