Chapter 51 Not a Love Rival

Looking out from outside the cabin of the Loracia class, the pale surface of the moon is covered with holes and craters. Looking further away, there are undulating mountains and vast plains. Everything is pale white, except for a lunar crater covered by a transparent dome, which is lush and green, like an oasis in the desert.

Who has the mind to plant trees in a military base? I guess you wouldn’t be able to find a single tree in Ptolemy and Lorentz, the two military bases of the Earth Union and ZAFT, even if you search the entire base.

The only remaining possibility is Copernicus, which is famous as a neutral city.

"It's a good thing this neutral city can hold on."

He Kui exclaimed that without any weapons or defenses, they were able to survive on the entire lunar battlefield.

"It should be related to Mr. Marchio. It seems that the current mayor is Marchio's student, and Copernicus' position is not too important."

"Master Marchio"

These were all too far away for him. Not to mention world-class figures like Mentor Marchio, he had only seen the main characters on TV.

The battleship quickly orbited its destination.

Lorentz Crater is located in the southern highlands of the front side of the Moon, far away from the United Ptolemy Base. Because of its regular terrain, flat crater bottom, and thick crater walls that can also serve as a natural barrier to protect the base from cosmic radiation and harassment by the United Nations, it was chosen by the ZAFT Army as a military base.

As they got closer, the Lorentz Crater presented a magnificent sight in front of everyone. The pale yellow sunlight shining on the base in the deep pit reflected a ruthless cold light. The fine moon dust raised by the expansion project of the base floated around the base, looking like those fascinating "Science Fiction World" covers that He Kui had seen before.

But this is indeed science fiction, although life is still difficult and the world is even worse than the previous peaceful world, and one may die at any time if one is not careful, but it is still science fiction, at least he is not going to Warhammer.

He Kui was still cheering himself up in his heart when the two of them successfully entered the base from the Nazca level in a space shuttle, and directly reached the core of the base underground via the sunken take-off and landing platform.

"Director He, welcome."

The heavy cabin door opened, and the two were greeted by a group of green-clad guards and the familiar girl in a slim white dress.

"Director Su, thank you for coming."

"Tsk, you look better in white than before."

For some reason, after Su Lei glanced at him, her eyes focused on Shihe behind He Kui, but she quickly looked away, making it impossible to understand what she meant.

"Your machines have been placed in the B24 secret hangar."

"I see. Then you."

"I'm going to take charge of the radar group. Don't worry, there are people following me."

Su Lei waved her hand and left only her back to the two of them.

"He Kui."

".What's wrong?"

He Kui, who had just said goodbye to Su Lei and faced Shihe, felt inexplicably nervous.

It won’t deduct my favor, right?

"Let's start debugging!"

As it turned out, He Kui was overthinking, Shihe was just speaking excitedly to He Kui.

"Ah."

He Kui is very cautious about favorability, as it affects his efficiency in converting experience points.

It would be better to let Su Lei and Shi He meet less often in the future.
Although he didn't do anything to Su Lei, He Kui still noticed that Su Lei sometimes looked at him strangely.

While thinking, He Kui successfully found the hangar and used his almost A-level information engineering skills to quickly debug the data of the beam weapon on Xigu's operating panel.

"Although there is no atmosphere here, there is still interference from lunar dust, so the firing rate and output power must also be adjusted." "One side of the gun barrel can only support ten rounds, and both sides can support twenty rounds."

"The weight of the aircraft has increased by two tons compared to the Xigu, and its power system has been weakened. I'm afraid that its power will be 15% lower than that of the ordinary Xigu. Is Shihe okay?"

"No problem, I'm good at shooting."

"Then you can carry an extra machine gun, and as for the physical sword, just carry one."

If you can't use the double swords well, it's better to use a single sword, which is enough for self-defense.

"Ok."

As she spoke, Shihe, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was also confirming tomorrow's mission on the screen.

"Our first mission is here."

"What is it?"

"Our scout Jinn has discovered a fixed patrol point of the Earth Federation Forces. There are only about six Mobius fighters. After turning on the neutron jammer, we can eat them all silently."

The poetry and eyes are fiery.

".tomorrow."

It always happens so suddenly, fortunately there is still half a day to change the system.

"Since this is a small-scale ambush, the output limit can be increased a bit. Can a squad battle be used?"

He Kui asked Shihe this question. After all, it would be Shihe who would actually go to the battlefield. He Kui's role would be similar to that on Earth, except that there was no gravity here, so there was no need to worry about Shihe getting dizzy.

"Of course it's no problem! I've tested it many times on the simulator! My score is in the top ten!"

"Um"

While He Kui was feeling helpless about the fanatical poetry, on the other side of the base.

Su Lei returned to the radar group array monitoring room and took out an encryption device and plugged it into the interface of the main computer.

A communication was passed through layers of circulation in an extremely secretive manner and arrived at April City in PLANT.

"Lux, he has already started debugging, and it looks like he is determined to win."

In front of Su Lei was a screen playing a computer that was synchronized with the monitoring of the hangar where He Kui was and the data stream of the machine. Any adjustments made by He Kui could be seen here at a glance.

"Well, that's good. Although the operation is a little weak, with Miss Hanifs here, there shouldn't be any big problems. Please take a closer look at the moon this time. If possible, I will talk to him in person when he comes back from the moon."

"Do you think he will join the Klein faction?"

"I'm not sure, but isn't he my fan? Let's give it another try. Besides, he was forced to that point by the Sara faction before, so I'm afraid he won't easily cooperate with them."

"Well you're coming to May City?"

"It's been a long time since the last roadshow. If we don't move around, the topic will fade."

After Lux finished her business, she said in a rather naughty tone.

"By the way, you have met Miss Hanifs, right? How is your rival?"

"He's not a love rival!"

After saying this, Su Lei angrily closed the communication as usual.
