From the Silver Star space station to Neptune's makeshift training site, Roger and Jung's round trip took only two hours at best.

When I went, the master and apprentice fought against each other for a full ten, with a time limit of 1 minute and 40 seconds per game (directly said that 100 seconds is more convenient?). It took no more than twenty minutes in total, and no more than half an hour when you counted the rest - the rematch after a short break was also one of the criteria for a duel or actual battle.

On Neptune's side, it took nearly an hour and a half to go through the formalities and formulate a plan to check and fill in the gaps, which is already very fast when measured by the full set of procedures for using the speed of light navigation thruster.

The return trip was a FOLD, less than a minute, easy and enjoyable.

In this way, as long as the two plane heroines are also folded over, they can theoretically complete the pre-task of "marching to Neptune to standby" "faster than light".

Under the conditions of high-intensity combat training, it didn't take more than two hours to adjust Noriko Takaya and Kasumi Amano's RX to optimal performance, and the rest of the time was spent on making up for it - mainly Noriko to make up for it - what practical problems the Urashima effect would bring about at close to the speed of light, and how to avoid similar tragedies.

This kind of thing was supposed to be in charge of Roger, but this guy was pretending to be a public servant, so he had to be taught by Admiral Tashiro by another master, or simply let Amano Kasumi help Noriko Takaya check and fill in the gaps.

Although Jung's FOLD navigation method is good, it is a pity that it can only play its maximum function when it is familiar with the stationary transmission of the coordinates of the starting and ending points, which is actually not much different from Vape on the surface. And because the Luxion itself is moving at close to the speed of light, and the destination coordinates are undetermined, it obviously cannot rely on the jump navigation method to catch up or intercept.

It's like Jung's strength has increased by leaps and bounds after entering this mission plane, but due to the weak foundation and the limitations of objective conditions in the selection of opponents, all of the ten duels between master and apprentice have been lost.

Although this result was expected by all those in the know (there were only three in total), Jung felt quite unacceptable when he felt that he was not under Roger Instructor in terms of speed and strength, and that he still lost at the end without any suspense.

And the point is that evaluations like "disparity" and "no suspense" are quite fair and even slightly biased in favor of her, otherwise how could these ten battles not be able to end in 100 seconds every time, right?

It can be seen that although Roger's progress in ability is slow, he is superior in combat experience, combat awareness, and subjective initiative that has been abandoned before, but recently regained for some reason, and as long as these things are combined, not only can the winner be decided within a hundred seconds, but even occasionally even a second kill can be done.

For example, the first battle between the two sides.

Jung's triple transformation from the Awakened Sword of the Great Sword, judging from the previous summary experience, the biggest weakness is the delay when stacking and merging. Not to mention that every time it gets bigger, it will double the volume, mass, and size of the part that will be fused in the next time, just Roger Ken is already releasing water when she calms down and waits for her to become an awakened body. If it is really purely based on actual combat, it may not wait for the level of the army to approach, and the high-speed light bullet accumulation is already approaching, right?

With Jung's current level, it is clear that he is far from the level of continuing to transform while holding up the protective shield, so this delay is actually no different from suicide.

Under the premise of facing countless cosmic monsters that can directly kill people, in order to fight a battle, you have to commit suicide at least three times, and this transaction seems to be impossible to make up no matter what you do.

And Roger generously left enough time for his students to combine transformations, and it wasn't originally for the sake of simply posing and being cool.

The two living weapons, the Awakened Body and the Great Sword Warrior, were originally based on himself or DG, and as long as he wanted to, it would not be difficult to recover this transformation ability at any time.

The second is the fusion with the RX body itself, which is actually easy to do, after all, although there is a material exchange between alloy armors, it is actually related to the devouring fusion of DG, not to mention that when Roger was still preparing for the last battle on the Luxion, he had already begun to study the armor techniques and materials of the Leap Peak Plane. Although Jung's body is now specially made by the Soviet Union, in today's emphasis on everything to serve GUNBUSTER, no matter how strong Jung's special machine is, it cannot surpass the former.

Does Roger need to worry about the combination of the greatsword and the VF fighter?

Of course not.

Well, of course, the second stage of fusion between Jung and the RX body is nothing to worry about.

So only the final stage of transformation and fusion remains, and the question of how to obstruct or destroy the components that should have been in the support fleet after Jung has made full use of them.

Come on, that's not a problem at all, okay?

If Jung's transformation of the first form of the Awakened to the second form of RX fusion is quite perfect, it means that the newly formed combined body is at least generally steel or mechanical structure, even if the Awakened is close to "cement" in all aspects of physical fitness, and can perfectly integrate with "steel bar" in terms of "expansion coefficient" and other aspects, this in itself must be lowering the common lower limit of the two.

After all, the biochemical machinery is not a pure alloy body, even if the biological tissue part can fire the alloy armor on the RX side in some aspects, but the overall performance of the second stage itself will be dragged to the level of armor by these alloys.

In the same way, the performance of the combination in the third stage still has to refer to the armor performance index of the Jungian special machine, otherwise, whether it is suspended or riveted or even forcibly smashed, it will definitely fall from the alloy part of the second form, and completely lose the meaning of "combination".

It's okay to meet a cosmic monster that doesn't think at all in battle, but in the eyes of a veteran like Roger, who has long developed an instinct to attack weaknesses, this flaw on the surface is actually no different from a flaw everywhere.

It is often 1 minute and 39 seconds to start, 1 minute and 35 seconds Jung is knocked down to the second form, and at 1 minute and 20 seconds, under Jung's reluctance to resist, the second form is finally declared lost, and it returns to the posture of the awakened.

Well, in this posture, whether Jung wants to use the unicorn angel mode or the VF fighter mode, has completely lost its novelty......

……

"Although I have always hated using the so-called rules and settings in the infinite space, the same level rolling characteristics of the reincarnation on the force side are indeed a major factor hindering my continuous progress." Someone summed it up with the slightest smugness.

"Come on, what's there to be proud of bullying other people's intellectual side reincarnation? Do you have the ability to play a leapfrog challenge feature to show me? One symbiote scoffed.

"Since it is a challenge, I put myself in a weak position, of course it will look good if I win, and I am still honored even if I lose. It's lonely. "Someone continues to make a modest and cautious posture of reason.

"Then how do you explain the reality that if you cross two levels, you won't even be able to resist?" A symbiote has always hit the nail on the head.

“……”

"Yes!"

……

In short, due to the unhappiness after the losing streak, Jung did not continue to follow the protagonist duo of the plane to see them off.

If Noriko Takaya and the others can really come back smoothly this time, then everyone will have a birthday party together. If there is any unexpected situation that cannot be returned, it is that the main plot is transitioning smoothly.

Even a certain incompetent instructor, according to the established plan, should have followed by a sub-light recovery spaceship and then caught up, so why did Jung have to put a stupid big sister in pursuit of the pie?

Besides, there are still only two sets of FOLD vehicles on the surface, and they are used by Takaya and Amano, so does Jung want to expose his monomer FOLD ability?

But then again, in Jung's plan, staying with Silver Star and making all kinds of preparations is indeed much more important than a send-off that is not very significant in itself.

Whether it is the report received by Admiral Tashiro, Jung's own calculations, or the results of DG's calculations, it is fully shown that even if the protagonist duo of the plane rides a jet engine, their speed is a floating value from 97% to 99.9% of the speed of light. (Note 1) If these two sub-light rookies are a little careless and fall behind one and a half before they meet LUXION, who will clean up the mess then?

Hero instructors, of course.

In the original book, Ota, who was already unable to move his legs, personally boarded the RX-7 and exerted amazing combat effectiveness. (Note 2) So now that Roger has complete legs and feet, and has the characteristics of "same level rolling", there is no reason to just watch the play on the side, right?

……

"What's the point with the word sibling milling?"

"Isn't it because you're afraid that I'll make a small report, so you broke the jar and showed it off to Jung first?"

"You're thinking too much."

"And what else do you have to ask?"

……

In short, before Noriko Takaya and Kasumi Amano had time to be amazed by the magical effect of the "Single" FOLD device, they boarded an external engine near the predetermined location of Neptune's orbit. After reading it in the last 20 seconds, the two disappeared from everyone's sight almost instantly.

It is conceivable that such a high acceleration can be achieved or endured in an instant, absolutely because the RX-7's own inertial control device starts at full speed. However, even with the existence of a device that did not conform to the common sense of the plane's technology at all, Noriko Takaya still tasted the taste of extreme turbulence in the oncoming turbulent aetheric current.

I didn't expect the flow of the ether to be so violent, and the one who was the first heroine of the plane thought to herself.

I didn't expect you to really take a sitting position, and you didn't even know how to lie on top of the jet engine to reduce the "wind resistance" of the ether, and the one who replaced the third heroine of the plane thought to himself almost at the same time.

"What is the aether?" This idiot wasn't thinking about it at all.

"It's something you can overcome with hard work and perseverance." A symbiote forced to bind himself to an idiot replied.

"How do I feel like you're perfunctory to me?"

"You don't have that honor."

"You're kidding me?"

"You don't have that honor."

"It's boring to play rereading~"

"You don't have that honor."

This kind of unnutritious dialogue can basically only end here, someone has to drive a recycling boat to chase the two heroines, and now waste a few seconds of time on DG, and then the feedback is likely to be a few months apart, and Roger is not bored to this extent.

But then again, is DG so boring?

……

In short, the little things that happened on the Silver Star space station can be put aside for now, and the camera now turns back to Noriko Takaya and Kasumi Amano, who are crisscrossing the Aether Ocean.

Since the protagonist duo of the plane was originally in the opposite direction of LUXION, under the precise calculation of the Silver Star staff, the two of them were equivalent to going in circles, trying to save fuel from the side and approach the "unknown object".

It's a not funny question of pursuit, not too far from the two heroines, and Roger has seen the signals of the two in the monitoring instrument. It is obviously impossible to shorten the visual distance in a short period of time, so the name of the LUXION ship must be discovered by Noriko Takaya first.

And then......

Sure enough, about a few seconds later, in a not-so-violent explosion, there was panic for the first time in Amano's report.

Noriko Takaya's skills in driving the RX-7 are much stronger than in the original book, so she is equivalent to turning directly to her father's flagship quite lightly. And her movements were so fast that Amano Kasumi couldn't stop it when she lost her mind for a while, which made someone who received the news feel a little proud in addition to being depressed:

"Don't you all look down on my step-by-step? Now that Noriko Takaya has grown to the level of being first-class in the TOP troops, is this also wrong? ”

This time DG didn't say a word, but in someone's mind, a huge model of a bell tower suddenly appeared.

So the "cruel smile" that someone just showed was blocked at the corner of his mouth.

Damn it! Originally, in order to deal with this situation, he obviously planned to fly the plane in advance, but because of the short boring quarrel between him and DG just now, someone's actual departure time was a few seconds later than the scheduled plan. Then, due to the mastery of the plane heroine's body operation skills, the boarding time was one or two seconds earlier than the original book......

After going back and forth, the layout that seemed to be quite elaborate actually appeared so variable, and someone was a little crying and laughing while running the engine of the recovery ship with all his might.

He didn't ask DG why he was deliberately delaying his time, after all, the words themselves didn't take half a second to talk back in the mental exchange. However, as long as he extended his thoughts slightly, he saw a rebel figure from behind DG who was unwilling to fail.

It seems that although Jung threw out the technique of the FOLD navigation method, including herself, she has not tested the feasibility of FOLD at near the speed of light at all - as for the superposition of vape and FOLD, there is no need to test it at all, the principle of the former can be equated with the use of black holes, who will be idle and idle to practice FOLD next to black holes......

In addition to the safety problems, the problems of precision control seem to be the key factors, in a special plane with an inertial control system but also need to rely on the foot pedal for auxiliary control, who knows what strange deviations will be caused by the indiscriminate use of unknown technology?

Wait a minute...... Speaking of black holes......

There is a retraction furnace on the LUXION, and it is precisely because the power system (which I said before that I will not repeat the elimination of motors and the like) is out of control, that this flagship will run around at 99.8% of the speed of light in the ether universe. From Roger's point of view, he seems to have quickly realized the truth of Jung's "willfulness" this time.

It is known that next to the black hole bomb that has retracted, it is possible to carry out a vape of a large scale to the fleet level, so can the same thing be done with FOLD, and if so, at what cost?

And that most critical question --

At the end of the main story of this quest plane, if the second retreat fails due to some unexpected situation, with the strength and skills of the reincarnators, is there any possibility of remedy?

You must know that although Jung ridiculed him for being weak, Roger has also thought independently about the flow of this mission plane. Theoretically, blowing up the entire Silver Heart can give the humans of the earth a window period of more than 300 years for cosmic monsters, which seems to have nothing to do with them as reincarnators. But if the Jupiter bomb really doesn't have time to explode and is occupied by the cosmic monsters, or if the control part is partially destroyed beyond the original book, the mission itself will not be completed.

If that's the case, that intelligence side reincarnation didn't plan to change jobs.

(But then again, it's okay to say that intelligence turns to force, and the other way around, the watch is gone, where is the option of "changing jobs"?) ）

The self-talk deliberately spoken to Jung in the above spiritual link didn't last long, not even half a minute, and Roger was already standing up from the recovery ship in his RX. After giving Kasumi Amano, who had gradually regained his composure, the ultimate knowledge of "leave when it's time", Roger turned one hundred and eighty degrees and jumped at the stern part of the LUXION.

There was a big hole in that direction that Noriko Takaya had just kicked out, and needless to say, it was perfect for RX to get in and out...... In fact, Roger's pretentiousness was actually to blind Amano Kasumi, otherwise wouldn't it be faster for him to launch FOLD directly in the recovery ship.

In short, after boarding LUXION, someone immediately got in touch with the DG micro-clone who stayed here back then.

Since he knew that the ship would fly back, and that there would be a plane heroine wasting time on it, how could he not leave a trace at all?

Due to the limitations of memory and the description of the original book, Roger does not know where Noriko Takaya kicked open the hull of the ship, nor does he know what route she will take to get to the bridge position, so at this time, a semi-automatic DG clone is needed to play a role. And another use for this clone is that it can at least intuitively observe whether there are remnants of troop-level cosmic monsters or something in the ship.

As a result, the latter's precautionary measures actually have some gains.

Not far from the range of the destruction of the bow of the ship, there were indeed two or three small troop-class monsters wandering back and forth, and this troop-class cosmic monster was not so much in the shape of a flea or hairy crab as it was somewhat similar to an oval spiral seashell, or more plausible to be a hermit crab, since these things were also long-legged......

The reason why it has grown and evolved like this is probably to make it easier to absorb and attack the inside of the enemy's giant ship, right?

An ultra-short distance FOLD, Roger swallowed these troopers without any influence - okay, this is DG dry, it is rare to have seafood delivered to the door, it is too polite not to laugh.

By the time Noriko Takaya, who stumbled through the area, stubbornly dragged the relevant hatches of the closed bow, the makeshift battlefield had already been cleaned up by DG. And if the doppelganger hadn't received the order, where could the plane heroine come so quickly?

There was no way there was a Takaya Admiral on the other side of the bridge, which Roger had determined from the DG clone as soon as he boarded the ship, but he didn't intend to stop Noriko Takaya's impulsive and unconscionable actions.

After all, the time for this child to be willful is actually running out.

———————————————————————————————————————— here is the dividing line where the air conditioner is not cooling————————————————————————————————————————

Well, now at least you don't have to worry about being blown out of the air conditioner......

Note 1: In fact, the original book shows that the maximum speed that the two can achieve after riding is 98.89% of the speed of light, so what about chasing a fart, and the difference between the speed of light and 99.8% is thousands of kilometers per second? It's not a head-on collision, the original book fully shows that LUXION, the recovery ship, and Kasumi Amano are side by side for so long, and Noriko Takaya didn't pull the deceleration valve......

Note 2: The so-called combat effectiveness does not mean that Ota picked up Noriko Takaya and walked away, but that the instant acceleration of the body of the person who jumped out of the recovery ship was obviously 99.8% faster than the speed of light, and afterwards he caught up with Nausicaa, who was completely powerless...... Coach, with the RX-7 you drive, what more steel basta?
