In CE.73, with the disappearance of the Requiem and the explosion of the Messiah, the renewed flames of war were finally brought to an end before dragging the entire world into the abyss of no return, and was ended by the Phoenix Gundam, which was rumored to be the embodiment of the gods.

In that battle of Requiem, Phoenix Gundam not only blocked the attack of Requiem on Earth, but also showed a magnificent picture that has never been seen in human history in front of human eyes.

Since the conquest of the sky in the old era, human beings have been speculating whether there is the same life as human beings in the depths of the universe.

Now, these fantasies, these long-lasting but still vigorous fantasies, have finally ushered in the moment of realization.

The sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.

Outside the huge building nicknamed the Water Cube by the citizens of the central axis of the northern capital, the capital of the East Asian Federation, hundreds, if not thousands, of reporters with all kinds of long-gun and short-barrel photographic equipment are waiting eagerly, staring at the main road leading to here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here's what CVTV is broadcasting live for you. I'm Zheng Xiang. You can now see that it has been occupied by journalists from all over the world, even from the satellite colonies. Everyone is waiting, waiting for this summit that is closely related to the future destiny of mankind..."

Before the reporter could finish speaking, a commotion came from the entrance to the main road leading to the building.

"Oh! Oh! ”

The reporter appeared to have received instructions from the on-site command, and he soon motioned for the photographer to follow his movements.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Now it's CVTV for you. Now, just now, we received the news that the first representative to arrive at the venue has arrived. Now it's live streaming for you. ”

In the midst of the eagerly awaited gaze of all the reporters, the first leader to arrive stepped out of the car that slowly drove to the edge of the red carpet, shook hands with the No. 1 person of the East Asian Federation who came out to greet him in the flashing lights, talked a few words, and let the surrounding media take pictures, and then separated into the building used to host the summit.

Later, when the new Speaker of PLANT, Her Excellency Lux Klein, and the representative of Orb, Cagalli Yura Ashar, arrived together, it caused a burst of exclamations.

In today's post-war world pattern, the battered Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation can no longer become the mainstream of the world, and the only ones who can reach the top and lead mankind into the future are the East Asian Federation where the legendary figure belongs, and the two forces of PLANT and Orb, which clearly express the will of the alliance, so the highlight of this summit may take place in these two forces.

After a series of official ceremonies, Lux and Cagalli walked into the building behind them in a flash of light.

Unexpectedly, there was a person waiting here.

"General He!" Cagalli exclaimed in surprise when she saw the man's figure. And there was a glint in Lux's eyes.

You know, this is a world summit.

Under these circumstances, Ho Mo, as a member of the East Asian Federation, does not seem to be suitable for this place.

however

As a party to the party, He inexplicably did not take these scruples in his eyes.

I saw him step forward, stretch out his right hand and point to the side, and make an invitation.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of Your Excellency, why don't we go to the other side and talk first."

Lux and Cagalli looked at each other and nodded.

So, under the leadership of He Mozhi, the three of them came to a secluded place.

As an opening remark, Ho's inexplicable first move was not to say anything big, but to take out a personal terminal and hand it to Lux.

"Your Excellency, everything I have to say is here. Please read it before you decide. Now, I beg your pardon for leaving. ”

Lux and Cagalli were a little surprised by his inexplicable self-confidence and unobtrusive appearance, and they originally thought that they would inexplicably talk about why they would speak for the East Asian Federation in this summit.

The result, however, was quite different.

Lux looked at He Inexplicably's back with a complicated expression, and sighed secretly.

"Lux, let's take a look! Otherwise, we don't know what he wants to do. Cagalli asked.

Lux nodded, and casually opened the personal terminal that He inexplicably handed over.

As a projection screen lit up, a familiar face appeared in front of Lux and Cagalli's eyes.

"Aslan? How could he be there? ”

The question arose in both Lux and Cagalli's minds.

"Ahem. The radio is normal. Now start recording. Selene, we can get started. Aslan in the picture fiddles with the camera and then relinquishes the camera, allowing the intellectual beauty standing not far behind him to appear in front of Lux and Cagalli.

"Have you started filming? So, let's get straight to the point! The woman with the long dark green hair smiled and moved the camera again, facing the glass on the other side.

In the blink of an eye, Lux and Cagalli saw through the glass that there was the depths of space outside.

In this deep space, there is a spaceship with a length of about 90 meters and a conical shape.

"This is the test ship we built after we received faster-than-light flight from the Federation of East Asia. We can see from its appearance that the test ship has no other weapons that are too high to attack except for some self-defense hidden batteries, so the power system of this test ship can provide enough energy for the faster-than-light engine. ”

After briefly explaining the situation of the test ship in front of her, Seleni went straight to the point.

"Since the construction of this test ship, there have been various experiments, and now it is the final and most critical experiment, which is the first experiment to put the tachyon engine into practical use. Aslan, let's get started! ”

As soon as the picture turned, Aslan, who had changed into a spacesuit at some point, appeared in front of the camera.

At this time, the background was changed to another strange place.

"The signal is normal. Serene, let's get started! ”

"Roger! Control was given to the test ship No. 1. Aslan, it's your turn. Seleni responded.

Aslan nodded, his expression becoming more serious. "This is faster-than-light flight test ship No. 1. I'm Aslan Sarah, the captain of this experiment. Humanity may be standing at the door of a new world right now. ”

Aslan paused, glanced down at the time, smiled and said, "The time is Greenwich Mean Time, 4 p.m. on September 20, CE.73. If the experiment goes well, you'll probably hear back from me shortly. ”

"So, let's get started!"

"Test ship No. 1, start the engines, fly faster than light, turn on!!"

With Aslan's command, the scene switches back to space, so Lux and Cagalli see the whole process of the first test ship accelerating to faster-than-light in an instant.

"The faster-than-light engine succeeded!!" Cagalli said in surprise.

Originally, after the Ceylon meeting, Cagalli would be suspicious of what He inexplicably said, but she never expected that before the start of this summit, He inexplicably sent such a bombshell.

If not, as long as the East Asian Federation makes this video public at the summit, then the world will be transformed again. And the target of this change may be Orb and PLANT.

"Let's go! Cagalli. Now is the time for the world to change, and our aspirations may already be in sight. Lux put down her terminal and smiled a relieved smile.

During this time, representatives of various countries have arrived one after another and entered the venue, waiting for the summit to be held.

The door slowly closed as the last representative entered. There was silence in the room, and it was time for the host to speak.

however

Just after the host had finished speaking, someone raised his hand.

The delegates looked at each other in surprise, only to find that the person who raised their hands was none other than Lux Klein, the new speaker of PLANT.

I saw that after the No. 1 person in the East Asian Federation and He inexplicably exchanged glances, he nodded and invited Lux to speak on stage. Such a move has aroused doubts in the minds of the delegates of various countries.

Originally, they thought that this world summit might be a new division of power.

But I never expected that the new Speaker of PLANT, Lux Klein, would come to such a show, and even the East Asian Federation seemed to cooperate with her.

What's going on?

Leaving his seat and walking slowly to the podium, Lux did not know what the delegates were thinking, let alone wanted to know. Because, having made the decision, she already knew that there was no turning back from the bow, and only by moving forward could she realize her desire for a lasting peace.

Just as he inexplicably said when he met her in Ceylon before, the current earth is too small for human beings. It is so small that human beings can no longer see the reality of the universe, the nature of the world, and their own desires. Over time, humanity, which has lost its desire to explore, will eventually be exhausted in this small solar system and die out in silence.

Now, with the success of the experiment of faster-than-light flight, which He inexplicably said, the hope of mankind is at hand.

Lux stopped, pausing on the podium, the most nervous she'd ever been. She wasn't nervous about herself, but about what she was going to do next.

"I'm Lux Klein, the new Speaker of PLANT. It is a great pleasure to sit with all of you today and work for the future of the world. I would also like to thank the Federation of East Asia for providing me with such an opportunity. ”

After a brief opening statement, Lux took a deep breath.

"Now, in my capacity as the chairman of the Supreme Commentary Council of PLANT, I propose that today's human society should complete the unification of the government and the military in the shortest possible time, form a unified government, and concentrate all resources to fully develop deep space. At the same time, I propose that General He inexplicably take up the post of President of the New Unification Government!! ”

Speaking of which, the audience was a sensation!
