The 21st century of gangsters everywhere

Chapter 452 445 Final Coordinates

"It is about to arrive at the specified coordinates, the L1 meeting point."

"L1 Confluence Point, Earth Federation... No, the first remote space station in human history."

"Although it's not the first time I've seen it, I still want to say that it's a beautiful space station." Harman stood up from his chair and floated towards the front of the bridge.Looking at the silver-white space station less than a hundred kilometers away with the naked eye.

Although the core area in the center is thick, the solar panels around it are only a thin layer, which looks like a glass panel emitting white light from a distance.

The panel is composed of countless triangles and rhombuses, and the whole depicts a nearly hexagonal geometric pattern. There are six pillars with flashing warning lights, protruding radially from each side.It's simply...or it should be said that it is the 'L[-] meeting point' designed with the concept of snow crystals. Its shape is no longer just a lighthouse, but closer to a work of art.Including the pillars of the warning lights, the maximum diameter is two kilometers, which can be said to be the largest art work in history made by human beings at public expense.

Each of the five gravitational equilibrium points created between the Earth and the Moon has such a landmark at each Lagrangian point.In addition to the initial space station built in Earth orbit, this can be said to be the first stronghold of human beings in space.

In the early days of space development, the efficiency of rockets was not high enough, and the load of the spacecraft would be used as much as possible for the transportation of cargo. Initially, 9% of the load of the rocket was used for cargo transportation for space development or colony construction. For transportation, 1% of the load is the manned facilities of the cargo spacecraft, and its space is so narrow that it may only be at the level of the Soyuz spacecraft of the old era.

Two to three astronauts are crowded into a small space where it is difficult to turn over.

In order to save the position of the toilet in the spacecraft, the astronauts even solve it in the spacesuit when going to the toilet.

In order to ensure the physical and mental health of astronauts, and add an insurance for space travel, so that astronauts can get extra supplies and a place to rest during spaceflight, each country with space technology in the United Nations hosted each A space station anchored at a Lagrangian point to serve as a location for resupply, repair, and refurbishment.

Before the beginning of the cosmic century, human beings used these lighthouses as benchmarks to determine their own positions in order to travel across this vast and boundless void.In the universe where all objects are constantly changing positions, and even the relative positions of the colonies are constantly changing, it is the only artificial object with an absolute position based on the earth and the moon.The light and electric waves emitted from it are the most reassuring materials to move about—until the discovery of Minovsky particles completely subverted the reliability of electric waves.

After the completion of the construction of the space station, many epic stories happened. This space station witnessed the construction of Side5 and saved the lives of countless astronauts. This snowflake-like lighthouse in the universe once became a symbol of hope for astronauts.

However, with the maturity of spacecraft technology, the spacecraft are getting bigger and bigger, and the self-sustaining ability of the hull is getting stronger and stronger. There is no need to go to the confluence point space station at each Lagrange point. The construction of each side is also coming to an end. The crew members do not have to carry supplies for round-trip use in a limited space, they can arrive at their respective destinations, carry out supplies and then return.

Even, after entering the 60s of the Universal Century, the thermonuclear rocket engine was successfully developed, and the self-sustaining ability of medium and large spaceships reached the level of years.For example, the pseudo-Agama, in non-wartime situations, the pseudo-Agama only needs to supply some fresh vegetables and clean fresh water every month.

Now, with the development of aerospace technology, there are no crew members who use lighthouses as landmarks.Its existence has long been mere form. The lighthouse on L[-] was even destroyed in the war, and it is said that it has not been rebuilt.The "L[-] Convergence Point" flashing in front of my eyes was only occasionally patrolled by the Colonial Satellite Commune, and the permanent personnel had been withdrawn a long time ago.Although there is an unmanned substitute pier in order to allow ships in accidents to dock at the port, but in this state, it should be unusable, right?Although the beautiful snowflake-shaped space station emits beautiful brilliance, the degree of desolation of the "L[-] Convergence Point" projected on the main screen is clear at a glance, and the lonely atmosphere even makes Harman feel a chill.

"The empty and cold universe..." Haman even remembered the days when he was alone in Axis looking at the sun that was only the size of a star more than ten years ago.

"RX-0 took off and went to the L1 confluence point for investigation." With the voice of Lieutenant Mihiro, the hull of the Argama shook, and the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam launched from the No. [-] catapult of the Argama Catapult takes off.

Subsequently, the remaining carrier-based aircraft on the Argama took off two Richel, one ECOAS Jegan A and three ECOAS Jegan D as escorts.

Behind the left wing of the Argama, two Unicorn Gundams and three Z Gundam Hummingbirds took off from the Jupiter.

"The symbol of hope for astronauts before the cosmic century, your father really knows how to choose a place." Minerva remarked casually. "By the way, it turned out to be ruins again. How much your father likes ruins."

"Aren't treasures usually buried in forgotten corners?" Banagher also countered casually, fully focusing on the vigilance of his surroundings.

"There is still T minus 65 before landing. Has the NTD activated?" Lieutenant Colonel Taxa interrupted the two of them's daily mutual blackmail by driving the Jegan A-type, and asked.

"Not yet." Minerva checked her own status, and also checked the status of the body.

"Then, it looks like we should land..."

"No, Lieutenant Colonel Taxa." Minerva shook her head lightly. "It's not a matter of coordinate location and time."

"So what's the problem?"

"The question is what these coordinates represent. The first coordinate, the wreckage of the Prime Minister's residence Laplace, represents the past of the Federation, a hundred years ago, the voice of the first Prime Minister of the Federation Government on the last night of AD. And was brutally destroyed Together with the fallen wreckage, it tells the "past".

"Next is Dhaka. The capital of the Earth Federation, Manhattan of the Cosmic Century that stands in the hot sand. The strength and fragility of the Federation system are all there. The Federation Army, which is indomitable and never retreats even if it is completely destroyed, and The federal capital located on the edge of the desert, even if left untouched, Dhaka will be swallowed by the advancing desert in a few decades."

"Then, here is the first stronghold after humans set foot in the universe." Minerva slowly closed her eyes, feeling the thoughts lingering on this space station. "The cradle of our humanity, the mother-like but devastated earth is over there. The future of mankind, the permanent residence in the universe, is there, and it was there before." Unicorn Gundam pointed in the direction of the moon The overly dense starlight spots are the light reflected by the side3 colony satellite group.Then he pointed to the reef area where huge lightning flashed from time to time. It was destroyed in the One Year War and the remains of the side 5 satellite group that has not been rebuilt so far.

"We are standing here, in the land of hope that our fathers and fathers have dreamed about for countless times." Minerva opened his eyes, and as Minerva opened his eyes, the Unicorn Gundam armor unfolded, and gold sprayed out from the gaps in the armor Phosphorescence, Unicorn Gundam releases the beam Magnum with its right hand, and slowly raises it up. "This chapter is called the future. Human beings will always have tomorrow."

Then, the Unicorn Gundam swung his right hand heavily, and a golden telepathic stance was swung out, blowing away the bright blue mega-particle beams from a distance.

The Laplace program flashed on the Unicorn Gundam cockpit screen, but Minerva also saw clearly the coordinates displayed by the Laplace program. As expected, the beginning of the Laplace incident, Colonial Industry [-] .

"Who gave you the courage to attack us?" Minerva grabbed the beam magnum again, and looked at nearly thirty mobile suits approaching at high speed while stepping on the space flight pedal.

MS type, AMX-014 Soaring Wolf, AMX-011 Zaku III, AMX-107 Dragon Flying.

"Republic of Zeon?" Minerva looked at the group of Ms flying over with mixed emotions.
