Chapter 489 Target, Heaven's Pillar

Their hydroponic chamber technology is actually far ahead of Orb.

The people in Orb, on the other hand, are a bit narrow-minded, just like when it comes to MS technology.

They and the Atlantic Federation have been innovating for many generations, and only Orb is still guarding against heresy.

Of course, considering that they now have Warriors, I guess there will be new machines appearing as well.

And it was normal that they didn't expect it. These technologies were all invented by He Kui halfway. There was no sign at all, and there was no chance to follow the clues. The intelligence organization would definitely not know about it.

But Orb said that Cagalli is here too, so if possible, she can help. Of course, it will be a deal at the national level.

It's just like what they just said, except that the traders' roles are reversed.

"If we trade with PLANT, I wonder if the Atlantic Federation will target us again."

The head of the Jiyang family sighed.

And no one else spoke after him.

Although I really want to ask why Orb is afraid of the Atlantic Federation, this is the fact.

Now their dependence on the Atlantic Federation for food imports has soared from 8% to 23%.

I dare not offend at all.

No matter how much we advocate willpower, people still need to eat.

If you don't have food to eat, most people won't care about your will.

"But according to intelligence, they should be synthesizing a new type of mineral on the moon. If we can get that technology, it will be of great help to us."

Erica said.

It is no longer a secret that the lunar Gundamium alloy is close to being mass-produced.

Although for some reasons they don't know, PLANT has not fully rolled out the production line.

But the capabilities of that metal had already been demonstrated clearly in the previous battles in Alaska.

It is equivalent to a PS armor that does not require electricity, although in this era of gradual development of nuclear power plants, this kind of armor is not very meaningful.

But not all machines are nuclear-powered. If they can get that technology, it will be of great help to their research on transformable mass-produced machines.

After hearing this, Kagali couldn't help but look at He Kui.

Everyone knows that the technology was researched by He Kui.

However, He Kui did not feel happy or worried at this time. It was normal for this technology to be coveted by others.

Although the production has not been fully rolled out because the new generation of mass-produced machines have not yet been completed and there are food costs, it does not mean that this technology is useless.

Even though the Atlantic Federation's base on the moon could not withstand the consumption, they never stopped sending spies there.

"Um"

"At present, the test field in Tianzhigu Pillar must start as soon as possible, and we must also release the news of our technology."

Uzumi's words broke the silence.

The purpose of releasing the rumor was naturally to test the attitudes of all parties.

The Pillar of Heaven is safe for now. After all, the Atlantic Federation does not have the ability to go into space on a large scale, and the lunar army is not about to attack them.

And if they can increase their self-sufficiency rate by 10%, then naturally they will not have to be so dependent on the Atlantic Federation.

The price of food in the Atlantic Federation is almost skyrocketing, so it would be a good thing to be able to make them afraid and lower the price.

The meeting ended here, and Uzumi returned to the office with Cagalli.

"I heard from Erica that it was you who proposed to research the hydroponic chamber technology."

Uzumi felt a little complicated when looking at Cagalli and Xiaoliu in front of him. Just now in the meeting, he saw Cagalli looking at Xiaoliu frequently, and even more than that, she only looked at him when talking about PLANT.

It reminded her of the long time she had spent on PLANT, He Kui's asteroid, and the planting technology she had proposed to research.

The various implications of this made him ponder deeply.

Maybe Xiaoliu is He Kui's man, or maybe Xiaoliu is He Kui.

But Cagalli's feelings were not fake.

She was still protecting Orb.

That's why he is even more conflicted now.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect this.”

Cagalli shook her head and said, "So what about this technology? Do you think it should be given to PLANT?"

Uzummi asked.

"Like Director Erica said, I think we can make a deal."

Hearing this, Cagalli responded without any hesitation.

In fact, He Kui had already revealed some of the current PLANT planting techniques to Kagali before.

After all, Cagalli seemed really worried about him at the time, and there was nothing wrong with telling Cagalli.

However, in this matter, we are two different forces, each with its own difficulties.

Kagali was sensible enough not to kidnap He Kui directly, and He Kui would do his best to facilitate cooperation in the future.

As for Uzumi, his tense face did not relax when he heard this.

After all, judging from the previous situation, she did not hesitate now, which may mean that PLANT has mastered more advanced hydroponic chamber technology.

Or rather, He Kui had mastered it.

Thinking of this, Uzmi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again in this serious atmosphere.

"I understand. You guys go out first, check on the progress of those hydroponic chambers and then take the Kusanagi, follow Erica and the Archangel to the Pillar of Heaven."

Logically he should reveal his cards now, but the current situation is too chaotic.

It’s not a good time. Let’s send people to space first. After all, the earth may become more dangerous.

"Ok."

Cagalli didn't understand her father's look, but she responded anyway.

The two of them left Uzmi's office while talking here.

"Why did Dad let me go up there?"

"I want to protect you."

He Kui said.

He probably still hasn't given up the idea of ​​using Archangel as a seed.

Although a large part of the Heaven's Pillar is controlled by Sahak, all the family heads are still there and the situation is critical, so it is understandable that Cagalli goes up.

"How can this be! I want to stay here!"

After hearing what He Kui said, Kagali stomped her feet and was about to go back, but as soon as she turned around, He Kui, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the girl's slender but strong wrist.

"There's no point in you staying here, go up, and if Plant wants to talk to Orb again, he will most likely go to the Pillar of Heaven."

“And more research can be done there, too.”

If he remembered correctly, the Dragoon that Law originally used on the Warrior Gundam was made on the Ame-no-Go-Jin.

It is no exaggeration to say that the space station condenses the essence of Orb.

There are many benefits to going up there.

".good"

After hearing what He Kui said, Kagali hesitated for a while before nodding.

On the other side, Bakilulu and everyone on the Archangel also learned the news at the same time.

"We are going to the Pillar of Heaven with Cagalli."

In his office, Namaru pursed his lips slightly and then turned to look at Bakilulu.

"Want to come with us?"

"Are Cagalli's staff going too?"

"should."

"Well."

Baki looked thoughtful, then nodded.

At first she did intend to escape, but now the situation is getting more and more chaotic. Seeing the people who are starving all over the earth, Baki Lulu just can't leave.

If she went back, nothing would change.

And she also has some things she wants to figure out.
