After the MACROSS Hyuga escaped from the space jump, it was greeted by a long-awaited Imperial fleet in the predetermined space area.
"This is the third squadron of the Central Fleet of the Ax Empire. Please send the identification code to your ship!"
"This is the Kaiwu Fleet MACROSS Hyuga. The identification code has been sent!"
In the bridge of the MACROSS Hyuga, a graceful woman wearing a white robe raised her hand to push up her glasses and looked at the Akers home planet in the distance.
"I didn't expect everyone to come to this planet! While we were still investigating on the monster planet, the admiral settled the situation without saying a word! He is indeed an admiral!"
"That's natural. Hinata. Otherwise, why would everyone gather around you?"
Not far away, a woman with her long blond hair tied into a high ponytail and also wearing a white robe spoke without raising her head while typing on the keyboard.
"Haha. You do have confidence in the admiral! Nina."
"Well. I believe in your abilities."
Nina nodded, then entered the last set of data and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally done!"
"Oh? Did you really complete this project in such a short time?"
The verification of the identification code seemed to take some time. Hinata stepped on it, and her special floating platform immediately brought her to Nina.
"Oh? It's really completed. But, can it be successful? I heard from King Kong that Chengying seems to have given birth to an electronic elf."
What Hinata saw was the exclusive weapon specially designed by Nina based on Cheng Ying's design drawings and current performance.
Speaking of which, Nina has been studying this exclusive weapon for a while, but she has never been able to achieve the desired effect.
Either because the performance is too poor, or because the room for growth is too small.
After half a year, Nina had abandoned no fewer than dozens of design plans.
Several of the plans were seen by Hinata, and they felt they had some effect, so they were casually included in the design project of Longying's follow-up aircraft.
So, in this situation, Nina, who was exhausted mentally and physically by the exclusive weapons and was always puzzled, learned by chance that the Sea Mist Fleet seemed to be preparing to investigate the monster planet.
Then, Nina directly found King Kong and Lin Mingmei, and expressed her hope to join the investigation team heading to the monster planet, trying to find inspiration from that planet to design exclusive weapons for Cheng Ying.
At first, King Kong and Lin Mingmei disagreed.
No one knows what the situation will be like on the monster planet.
Even when forming an investigation team, King Kong basically considers the mental core that has successfully evolved the MACROSS battleship as the core strength of the investigation team.
Therefore, Nina, who is just an ordinary human, is not very suitable.
But unfortunately, after Nina asked again and again, King Kong and Lin Mingmei finally agreed.
As for what Nina discovered on the monster planet, that is another story.
The biggest achievement of this journey was to successfully find the development ideas for Chengying's exclusive weapons and complete the preliminary development.
"Xiaoying? I heard about it too. He seems to be a very well-behaved little guy! I think she will definitely like this exclusive weapon."
Not long after, after the identification code was passed, the Ax Empire welcoming fleet rushed towards the MACROSACROSS Hyuga and entered the planned orbit for landing on the planet.
Although, during this period of time, the Sea Mist Fleet frequently traveled back and forth from the Navigation Star to the Akers home planet, which was an eye-opener for the crew of the Imperial Fleet.
But every time I see a kilometer-long MACROSS-class space battleship flying past me, I always feel a great sense of shock.
Especially when watching this kilometer-level space battleship slowly land on the empire's home star, an indescribable feeling lingered in the hearts of everyone in the Ax Empire fleet for a long time.
A few hours later, at the air force base near the imperial capital, a plane shadow shot straight into the sky.
In just a few minutes, they had rushed from the surface airport runway to outer space, and even encountered the Imperial squadron, which had completed the task of welcoming the Hyuga and was preparing to switch to patrol missions.
"That, that is?!"
The squadron commander froze on the spot, watching the white stream of light fly past between the squadrons, then turned around, descended rapidly, and flew directly towards the imperial capital.
"Yes! Which general is driving the fighter plane? Please don't panic, fleets!!"
The correspondent's words left the squadron commander stunned for a while.
He remembered that He Ming was in the imperial capital now, why did he suddenly end up in outer space?
Obviously, no one can answer this question for him.
As for Chengying, he easily completed his escape from the atmosphere and returned to the atmosphere, steadily maintaining a supersonic cruise state at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"Sir, please don't make such violent flying movements when you equip the Split Feather Feather for the first time! We don't know yet whether the Split Feather Feather can withstand the high temperature when returning to the atmosphere."
Nina's worried voice came over the communication.
"Sorry! It's just a whim. Besides, even if the high temperature resistance of Split Feather is not good, Chengying still has a GN shield and texture system! Don't worry about high temperature factors."
He Ming smiled and asked casually.
"Xiaoying, do you think what I said is right?"
As the wings flapped, Xiaoying's figure appeared in the screen and nodded sensibly.
"Sir, you, you guys?!"
Nina was speechless when she saw that the young and old didn't listen at all.
"Forget it! After all, the equipment you made is too good."
Hinata next to her patted Nina on the shoulder.
As a partner in the investigation and research on the monster planet, Hinata knew how much effort Nina put into it.
Nina sighed and shook her head.
Then, he continued.
"Sir, you will enter the target area in five minutes! At that time, please follow the operating instructions, deploy the split feathers, and attack the target aircraft as much as possible."
"learn!"
He Ming responded and then asked again.
"By the way. Where did the target drone come from? We don't seem to have brought the target drone here, right?"
"Admiral, don't worry about the target drone issue! I can have as many target drones as I want on my MACROSS. After all, on the monster planet, the target drones are very useful!"
Hinata patted her chest and said proudly amid the rolling waves.
"Really? It seems that there are many stories on the monster planet. Tell me about it later!"
"Okay! Sir."
Five minutes flew by in a blink of an eye.
The target area is right in front of you.
Xiaoying, who was sitting on He Ming's shoulder, immediately straightened up his face and entered into a combat mode.
I saw countless streams of light passing through her eyes, and traces of what seemed to be data flows were outlined.
"Xiaoying, release Split Feather Feiling!"
"Buzz!"
There was a slight vibration, and stars appeared between Chengying's wings.
In the blink of an eye, these starlights scattered like frightened birds, quickly disappeared into the surrounding sea of ​​clouds, and disappeared.
Chapter completed!
