Chapter 145 Unconfirmed Identity

Lux was attacked and rescued by a passing cargo ship, but soon encountered a new type of joint ship.

But thanks to the new type of Hello given by He Kui, they survived.

And an unknown ZAFT hero sacrificed himself to protect Lux.

When all these news came together, the entire council was in an uproar.

One family is happy while the other is sad.

Klein no longer had any reason to reject the Sara faction's proposal to strengthen Earth's combat power to suppress all united spaceports.

And while the bigwigs of the Supreme Council were still in meeting.

After confirming Lux's safety with Haro who stayed on the cargo ship, He Kui returned to the Heilan Design Bureau from Boyaz.

Sitting in front of him and Erin at this moment was the current district chief of their District 1, the former director, Kuradis.

"After strengthening our operations, we also need to increase our production capacity. He Kui has caught a good wave."

It is no secret that He Kui's small businesses were conducted under his own name.

"Thank you."

He Kui smiled reservedly.

Although the future will be more difficult, there will be more money and more room for maneuver.

"Erin, I've seen your skeleton design."

"Overall, the strength is indeed improved compared to the previous design. It also incorporates some of the duel framework, right?"

"Yes, the composite sword and shield and beam gun are still good enough for use. On this basis, we will increase the power of the new machine. According to the analysis results, we will be able to compete with those machines."

"Director He, do you have anything to say?"

Kuladis responded and looked at the silent boy.

"Director Erin's analysis is correct, but this will make it more difficult to operate such a powerful thrust, and high-performance technology will also lead to problems with low productivity."

This machine certainly looks powerful, but blindly pursuing performance comparable to the G series can easily lead to detours.

What they are discussing now is a mass-produced machine rather than a technology verification machine.

"Although they have more resources than us to mass-produce Project G machines, they are definitely more difficult to control than us. I think if they are used by Green, performance suppression is not a big problem at all."

After listening to He Kui's remarks, Kuradis nodded.

Weapons are meant to be used by people, and the biggest function of mass-produced machines is to spread them, just like King.

If ordinary soldiers can't operate it, there's not much point in mass-producing the machine.

Moreover, the performance of the MS hastily made by the other party is probably not that good.

"If this new machine is positioned as Captain Xigu's machine, we can modify a machine similar to Jinn's position on this basis."

The two sets of plans are also easier for the National Defense Committee to accept.

Judging from the operating systems of several captured Gs, the opponent's MS's auxiliary control is not a learning AI. Theoretically, it can be driven by a natural person, but the system is not mature.

And even if it is completed, the actions will probably tend to be rigid and stereotyped.

As long as the advantages of mass-produced machines can be maintained, it is acceptable to lag behind Gundam in performance.

“It can be done.”

Erin didn't object after thinking it over.

The three of them sat here this time to plan a direction for the future of the Hailan Design Bureau.

In short, within the current integrated design bureau, the leadership position of the Heilan Design Bureau cannot be lost.

Even if there can only be one director of the Integrated Design Bureau in the future, he must be one of theirs.

To achieve this, new machines must be made by them.

"And He Kui, your phantom particle magnetic field system does have a strong effect."

"It's just that it's expensive. The raw materials for anti-neutron jammers are currently only available on Mars and Earth. We can't make much by mining asteroids. I've asked, and they can let you build a technology verification machine."

PS armor, phantom particle magnetic field concentration, nuclear reactor, anti-neutron jammer, and trial and error, the cost of a new machine is already in the tens of billions.

As the technology has not yet been fully mastered, it is still unknown whether it can be mass-produced.

"It's just that this machine will be handed over to elite pilots in the future, and it can't be like your Xigu."

"I know."

He Kui was not surprised. If it was really built, it would be an almost invincible machine in defense. ZAFT would definitely not give that machine to an ordinary red-clothed pilot like him.

Unless he can demonstrate some value, or corresponding strength, in the next battle.

Of course, He Kui didn't want to charge into battle himself.

Then the only way to take the body away is to use some unconventional methods.

For example, deliberately eliminating some materials during trial and error.

Anyway, he had the support of the system, so he basically didn't have to use trial and error. Even if he made one or two mistakes, it was still within the normal range and wouldn't arouse suspicion.

The only problem is where to transport the discarded items.

"Director Kuradis, do you know the price of some abandoned asteroids?"

"Abandon an asteroid? How big should it be?"

Hearing He Kui's question, Kuradis asked with a bit of surprise.

"It's only about the length of a football field. I plan to move my company out there. It will be much more convenient."

"An abandoned asteroid the size of a football field is not expensive. It only costs about 50 million. If you buy it in the name of a company, you can enjoy corporate benefits and a % tax reduction. However, internal development is more troublesome. Depending on the degree of development, it will cost about million to make it usable."

The generators needed to maintain the power of the entire asteroid are also extremely expensive, as is the construction of internal facilities.

This can even only use the most basic solar power generation equipment and cannot withstand too much complicated work.

As for the price, an asteroid the size of a football field is so big that even a warship cannot dock in it, so basically no one is interested in it.

"Thank you."

He Kui had a rough idea after hearing this. "No, He Kui, you should also come back from Gibraltar as soon as possible. The development should start as soon as possible."

"I understand."

The three of them finished their discussion and just came out of the Hailan Design Bureau. Before they could take a few breaths of the fresh green air outside the design bureau, their bracelets suddenly vibrated.

"Director He, if it's convenient for you, please come out for a moment."

"it is good."

He was a little confused, but He Kui happened to have something he wanted to discuss with Lux, so he quickly agreed.

Lux's car stopped in front of the Hailan Design Bureau.

It's even an extended version of the sedan, and just this one probably costs hundreds of millions.

"Director He, I'm sorry about your friend."

As soon as he came up, He Kui was met with Lux's bright gaze.

Lux checked after she came back, but couldn't find the girl's information anywhere.

There was no identification on her, and when she asked the captain, he just said that she was He Kui's friend and happened to take the trip.

As a result, the person is dead now, but she still doesn't know his identity.

It's as if the other person is just a person who suddenly appears and disappears, which is very strange.

However, the girl's death was too tragic and resolute, making it difficult for them to investigate further.

"It's fine."

"Um"

If she had left directly after being rescued, she might not have encountered the new type of ship.

But although she felt guilty, she did not regret it. She had her own things to do.

Her goal will not be shaken so easily.

Lux said with a sigh.

"But Director He, do you know that she has a family? I want to go over and talk to them, too."

"I don't know. We just met by chance."

"Is that so? Never mind. This should be a gift from you to her."

Lux held up a green Harrow in both hands and placed it in front of He Kui.

"Yes."

"Then I'll give it back to you now. And thank you for the locator."

"This is also for Miss Lux's safety."

"Really? Then why did Director He protect me?"

Lux stared into He Kui's eyes seriously, not missing any subtle changes in expression on his face.

"PLANT and this world both need Miss Lacus."

He Kui did not lie, Lacus was the leader of the Klein faction in the future.

If she died, there would be no one to check and balance the Sara faction.

"Director He is really good at talking."

"But do you think I can really do it?"

What can be done? It goes without saying.

"Ms. Lacus has this ability."

"Then why doesn't Director He join~"

Lux moved closer to He Kui, and their eyes met. He could already faintly smell the peach blossom-like fragrance between Lux's soft pink hair.

“I haven’t found the way yet.”

He Kui responded to Lux with somewhat mysterious words.

"Is that so? Then I will prove to Director He that our path is the real path that can end this war."

Then, he had to join them.

In the past, even after He Kui became the director, Lux still tried her best to win over He Kui.

Now, something was beginning to sprout in the girl's heart.

"Miss Lacus, do you have any research on abandoned asteroids?"

He Kui did not answer, but changed the subject somewhat abruptly.

"Yes, do you want to buy one? How big is it?"

“About the size of a football field would be enough.”

Logically, Lux should know better than him.

Although the asteroid that Lux got should just be a free ride due to local conditions.

But the interior decoration was definitely done by Klein school.

"That's not difficult. If you want to do it, I can help you with the power generation equipment. I guess it's a way of repaying a favor."

"As for the excavation and renovation, I won't compete with Director He for it."

Hearing Lux's words, He Kui also smiled.

In other words, he just needs to buy the asteroid and then hire people to mine it.

Of course, there are various systems to be installed later.

But it is not impossible for him to do it as long as he spends some time.
