Gundam Seed: Final Destination Chapter 570: : this 1
At this time, the crew gathered in the rest hall were also discussing about the news of Julius VII.
"But why does it move..."
"It may be hit by a meteorite, or deviated from the orbit due to other influences..."
Vino asked stupidly, and Yolan replied with a scientific hypothesis.
Zhen Asuka couldn't help asking with a solemn expression: "I heard that its traveling route will hit the earth... Is it true?"
Meiling nodded: "Mr. Barto said yes..."
The first person in the ship to notice the abnormal orbit of Julius 7 was Barto, who was on duty at the time.
It was almost at the same time that Durandal received the notice from the council.
Luna Maria scratched her red hair, sighed and said, "The robbery of Armory One has not been resolved, and now this is happening again? What happened?"
Zhen Asuka also felt that this series of accidents happened inexplicably.
Of course there is no connection between these two events, but he has a vague premonition that there is an earth-shattering event brewing around them.
"—Then what are we going to do with 'Julius VII'?"
When Luna Maria asked this question, everyone immediately thought about it.
At this moment, Lei, who had been silent all this time, replied lightly at this moment: "It can only be broken."
"Break..."
"Smash it?"
Lei's tone was still so flat: "As far as its mass is concerned, since it has been pulled by the earth's gravitational force, it is impossible to change its orbit. If you want to avoid impact, you have to smash it. Select."
"But...but that thing is big? Although it has been almost broken in half, the longest is still eight kilometers..."
Youlan told the actual situation without thinking, and Vino also called out.
"It's so big, how do you break it?"
"But if it is allowed to hit, the earth will be destroyed."
Speaking of such terrifying possibilities, Lei still did not frown, and his face was still expressionless.
"At that time there will be nothing left - including all living things."
Zhen Asuka couldn't help but hold his breath, and the yelling Vino also fell silent.
An asteroid with a diameter of one kilometer fell to the earth, and its explosive force was about 100 billion tons.
If a nuclear bomb is calculated at 50 million tons, it is equivalent to 2,000 nuclear bombs.
Based on this calculation, Julius 7, which has a diameter of nearly ten kilometers, will probably release nearly one hundred megatons of TNT energy when it collides with the earth.
Of course, its collision speed should be slower than that of the asteroid, so it cannot be simply converted, but——
At this moment, a cold silence enveloped everyone around.
"All...?"
Zhen Asuka repeated quietly.
Although it was the hometown he had abandoned—but when he thought of Aub's sparkling sea and the breath of the wind, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.
Will that all disappear, and the billions of humans living on the surface, all together...
Vino couldn't bear the heavy atmosphere, and jokingly said: "So... the earth—is it dead?"
"Probably."
Youlan shrugged his shoulders in a serious manner, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "Well...but, alas, since there is no way to do it, then there is no way to do it? Force majeure."
Zhen Asuka secretly resisted what he said.
I don't know if Youlan wants to break this dullness too much, but the more he talks, the more vicious he is:
"But if those disputes are cleared up, maybe it will be easier. Our colony-"
Suddenly, a sharp voice interrupted him.
"How dare you say that!"
Youlan jumped up in fright, Zhen Asuka and others also hurriedly looked at the source of the sound.
Cagalli was standing at the entrance of the rest hall, her golden eyes seemed to be burning with rage.
Seeing that it was Kajiali, Zhen Asuka subconsciously lowered her face and turned her head to look elsewhere.
Coincidentally, these words were heard by the last person who should not have heard them.
Lei immediately stood at attention calmly and saluted, and the others also corrected their postures with embarrassing expressions.
"What can't be done? What's easy?"
In her fury, Kajiali continued to roar: "How serious the matter will be - what will happen to the earth, how many people will die, do you know? Was that intentional?"
There was a bit of boredom in everyone's serious expressions.
She spoke righteously, but it sounded like boring preaching to people's ears.
"...I'm sorry."
Youlan bowed his head sullenly to apologize.
He also felt guilty for speaking too presumptuously, but it was just a joke, but now a foreigner who didn't understand the situation broke in and scolded him.
Who wouldn't feel disappointed.
Seeing the rebellion on their faces, Cagalli's face became even uglier.
"Don't you Zavot all think so?"
These words overturned a boatload of people, and also aroused Zhen Asuka's displeasure.
"So many wars fought... so much pain...! Haven't you changed a bit under Chancellor Durandal?"
"...Stop talking about Kagali."
Seeing this, Aslan hurried forward and grabbed Kajiali who was a bit up.
"Who would seriously Asuka say such things? Youlan is just joking, can't you even hear that?"
Asuka himself felt that what Youlan said just now was a bit too much, but Kajiali's attitude of correcting others was even more irritating.
In his eyes, this Her Royal Highness Princess who doesn't know the sufferings of the world and can only speak beautiful words is an irresponsible person.
"True Asuka, pay attention to your words."
Ray reproached in a low voice.
Hearing Lei's correction, Zhen Asuka shrugged his shoulders contemptuously, and said, "Ah——yes, this man is a big man, he is the representative of Orb!"
"You...!"
"Cagali, have you had enough trouble!"
Seeing that Cagalli was irritated by his attitude, Aslan tried his best to stop her.
This scolding was extremely rude, and Shin Asuka couldn't help being a little surprised. He originally thought that the "legendary elite" had been reduced to a pug who became a princess.
But at this moment, it seems that the power relationship between these two people is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Aslan intervened between the two glaring at each other, staring straight at Zhen Asuka's face with sharp eyes.
"You seem to hate Orb, why?"
Shin Asuka averted his eyes and stared back at Aslan.
Unmoved, Aslan continued to say in a deep voice: "I heard that you have been with Orb before, but if you deliberately contradict the representative for some irrelevant and boring reason, I will definitely not go around you. "
"Bored...?"
Zhen · Asuka only felt a heat on his forehead.
Everything that was taken away by the artillery fire appeared in front of his eyes.
He stared at the blonde girl in front of him again.
"Ashar killed my whole family...!"
The people around were all stunned when they heard this.
Zhen Asuka couldn't see them, but only one person in his sight, the one who should take full responsibility for the lost life.
"They believed in the country, in your so-called ideals, and they believed until the last moment, but they died in the dark...!"
Do not invade other countries, do not allow other countries to invade, and do not intervene in other countries' disputes - this is Orb's philosophy.
This is just lip service, but what kind of country is it that sacrifices its citizens in order to implement this belief?
The state exists to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Now, in order to protect that ridiculous justice, let innocent citizens suffer the pain of killing, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?
In the end, these people in power only cared about their own lives. When they came back, they just wiped their lips nonchalantly, sat back in their old seats, and continued to mislead the people with high-sounding justice.
The country died once under his own hands, and he dared to be flattered by others in the name of a hero, and even wanted to use those beautiful words to go on the same road again.
He will never forgive this woman.
"I don't believe you! I don't even believe in that country called Aub! I don't believe what you say on the surface! What implements the justice of the country... How many people were killed by what you said at the time, have you ever thought about it? ?”
"Do not invade other countries, do not allow other countries to invade, and do not intervene in other countries' disputes."
"What's the use of this kind of justice without practice? It has no strength and cannot resist aggression at all."
"Since the other party wants to attack us, we can only retaliate. In order to survive and protect, what people need is strength, not beautiful but empty rhetoric."
Zhen Asuka roared angrily, even his voice was trembling.
Cagalli took a few steps back with a pale face, and Aslan, who was supporting her body beside her, also showed some obvious shakes on his face.
"The guy who doesn't understand anything...don't talk as if you know everything!"
After uttering the last sentence angrily, Zhen Asuka ran past the speechless Kajiali and rushed out of the rest hall.
"Hey! Asuka! Really...!"
In the frozen still air, only Vino's panicked shouts caught up.
Zhen Asuka didn't stop.
His fists were clenched and still trembling slightly.
————
Inside the Gadi Lu class battleship - Bruku.
"This is really an unexpected development."
Looking at the calculation track on the screen, Matisse couldn't help narrowing his eyes.
Junius' movement was completely beyond her expectation, or no one would have expected that Junius would actually move towards the earth.
This sudden change completely disrupted her plan.
"Your Excellency Mattis, what shall we do now?"
Just as Matisse was pondering, his soldiers couldn't help looking at Matisse.
"Let Gadi Lu go to Junius to check the situation, as for us—"
Matisse paused for a while when he said this, and stretched out his hand to press the armrest control panel for a while.
Accompanied by the appearance of a cosmic coordinate point, Matisse continued: "It is to go to this place——"
Junius' question was inevitable, she didn't have the habit of asking 'why'.
Besides, instead of thinking about why this kind of thing happened, it is better to think about what to do after this kind of thing happens.
Earth——
The rolling verdant hills are dotted with forests, pastures, and gorgeous old-fashioned homes.
This is a country in western Europe. In the tranquil pastoral scenery, this colonial-style mansion looks extraordinarily magnificent.
In one room of the mansion, men all dressed in riding clothes gathered, as if they had just participated in an ancient hunting party.
"Now, things are serious."
As the old man said so, he sat down on the Victorian chair and lit a puff of smoke from the cigar in his mouth.
In the center of the room was a mahogany billiard table surrounded by men with clubs.
Together with a few other people who are at their leisure, there are nine people in the room.
"It is an unprecedented crisis, the script of the demise of the earth!"
Another person echoed, but the tone was not as serious as what he said, and someone who was about to hit the ball snorted.
"Huh! Someone wrote it?"
"In principle, this is what I'm going to ask 'The Phantom Pain' to investigate."
A total of 30-year-old men answered directly.
This person's hair was so light that it was almost white, and his face seemed to have lost a little bit of blood. His pair of impressive sharp eyes were particularly eye-catching among the crowd.
Lodo Gabriel, currently the manager of Cosmos.
However, the old man who was the first to mention Huatou was suspicious: "If you spend time investigating now, what can it be useful for?"
A smile appeared on Jibril's lips: "About this accident, frankly speaking, I am also extremely shocked..."
Jibril said pretendingly, looking up at the sky: "Did Julius 7 fall? There is such a thing? Why? —— When I heard the news, I was full of this idea. "
He stretched out his arms and talked emotionally, but someone stopped him angrily.
"The preface is omitted, just tell us your purpose, after all we are very busy."
Everyone present is a big business, and the fall of Junius will definitely have an impact on their business.
If it weren't for Gabriel's good performance in Europe and Asia, they wouldn't have come to this meaningless party at all.
Hearing this, Jibril turned his head away with a solemn expression: "No, that's the point."
"Huh...?"
Seeing the puzzled look on everyone's face, Gabriel explained coldly: "When the whole world knows about this, everyone will think so!?"
"Why? Why did Junius fall? Whether there is an answer or not, people will definitely ask this question."
"Then, we have to give an 'answer'."
As soon as these words came out, everyone squinted their eyes and began to think about each other.
Under their watchful eyes, Gabriel announced another piece of information that is still only known to a few people: "Durandal in the colony has issued a warning to the countries of the earth, saying that they are also doing their best to study ways to avoid and deal with it."
"The action is so fast, those people panicked."
"That means this accident is really a natural disaster? But now..."
The speech of another elder sounded extremely sincere and honest.
"No, actually that doesn't matter at all. The point is what kind of answer we want to give when the people sigh after this catastrophe, 'Why did this happen?'."
There was another burst of discussion among the people.
"Hehe, have you thought this far?"
"You are really a surprising guy..."
But it wasn't surprise or indignation, but a bit like a wry smile.
None of them were fools, and they all heard the meaning behind Jibril's words.
"Of course."
Jibril's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spat hard: "Whatever the reason! That ugly and stupid piece of garbage is destined to fall on our heads anyway!"
He waved his hands to show his anger, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
"What's going on? Just because of that kind of thing, even we have to endure the fright and run away?"
As he spoke, inflammatory words gradually appeared in his tone.
"We have to get justice for this humiliation, and who do we go to? Of course the adjusters who've been building that stuff in space, aren't they?"
"Well... I don't mind that."
"But now... After this disaster, we may not even have the strength to fight?"
The others responded to his anger with a half-sneer with an expression of indifference.
"So, I'm going to invite everyone here today."
Listening to them expressing their misgivings one after another, Jibril announced darkly: "Whether it's taking refuge or leaving, after that, we will attack them in one go-according to that plan... My purpose today , I hope you can understand this and promise me that you will do it.”
Compared to Gabriel's firmness, the eyes cast on him contained teasing.
"So it's so... so tough!"
"The hate regulator should be able to inspire the power of many people?"
"...there are still leftovers~IndoMTL.com~ Industrial recovery is indeed a troublesome thing."
"That is to gather the remnants of the people, right? ——Under the great love in the name of hatred."
After everyone reached a preliminary agreement, the first old man summed up his opinion: "Gabriel, I see that everyone has no objection to the plan."
"Thank you for your support."
Gabriel bowed respectfully upon hearing this.
Seeing this, the old man slowly stood up and ordered: "Then, the next meeting will be after the disaster - before that, you should prepare a specific plan."
"Yes."
Seeing that the conclusion had been drawn, other people got up and left their seats one after another.
"Having said that, I don't know how serious the damage will be!"
"Forget about the war, natural disasters are really troublesome."
"No matter what you say, you have to 'return my blue and pure universe'!"
"Where should I evacuate next--it seems that there is no way to solve it in a short time."
They walked out of the mansion while chatting, and there was still no sense of crisis in their tone.
Gabriel leaned against the window, watching everyone leave with disgust.
——How could those old men have such virtues...!
Those adjusters, those ghosts and ghosts who are not qualified to live, have come out to threaten our human world again.
This is a major event that concerns the dignity and existence of all human beings!
But these bad old men still have an attitude of watching the fire from the other side.
Gabriel was so furious that he swung his hand holding the billiard ball, and a piece of delicate Meissen porcelain in the corner of the room was instantly shattered, turning into a pile of worthless pieces in an instant.
