A day later, inside the base of the headquarters of the Far East of Japan.

When Lina and Dagu returned to the main control room from the infirmary after a full day of recuperation, all the members of the victory team except for Xincheng had already gathered here.

"Don't be so discouraged, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers."

"Instead of dwelling on this failure, just try not to repeat the mistakes of the past next time."

"Besides, even Tiga failed this time, and the two of you won't be able to do much if you go up."

Reaching out and patting Lina and Dagu on the shoulders, Commander Zongfang took on the job of psychological counseling as always.

"Command ......"

He opened his mouth to speak, and as soon as Da Gu wanted to explain something, Lina on the side took the lead in interrupting his conversation with Zongfang.

"He's not Tiga!"

Looking at her teammates who were all stunned, Lina said in a firm tone.

"The giant who showed up at the Space Development Bureau yesterday - he's not Tiga!"

After a long day of thinking and comparing, Lina was almost 100% sure of this fact.

"Actually...... I think so too. ”

Taking Lina's words, Ye Rui, who sat in his exclusive seat and analyzed various data, gave the same answer.

"By comparing the battle patterns of that purple giant and Tiga, the difference between the two can be clearly seen."

"And just now, I found a special project called 'Project F' within TPC, which seems to be related to the original recovered giant stone statue......

Scratching his head in some distress, when Ye Rui found out about this plan, he was surprised to find that the authority of the victory team was not enough to see the full content of this plan.

Not only did the victory team not have this permission, but even Ye Rui used his superb hacking skills to find the original file of this plan.

This means that the top secret of this file is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and it may even exist as a paper document without keeping a backup file.

"Well, I'll ask the higher-ups about this."

Without questioning the judgment of Rina and Norui, Megumi Kuruma, who knew some of the inside story, gave the team members an ambiguous answer after a short silence.

"More important now than the giant of unknown origin is the mechanical behemoth."

"Ever since it left the Space Development Agency yesterday, that mechanical behemoth has been hovering above Earth, seemingly searching for something."

"At the same time, according to the reply from the Space Development Agency, the DCS system was not forcibly invaded by external forces before it got out of control."

"It was the mechanical beast that controlled the DCS system with developer privileges, which led to the failure of the DCS system at the last moment."

At that time, it was Horii and Munakata who went to the Space Development Agency for a post-mortem investigation.

So Horii further explained when Megumi said this.

"The developer of the DCS system is Dr. Jiang Qi, who is a relatively rare doer and doer within the Space Development Agency."

"However, Dr. Jiang Qi disappeared near Jupiter's orbit with the disappearance of Jeepta-3 two months ago."

"Along with Dr. Jiang Qi, there are also the pilots and liaison officers of the Jeepta 3."

Dagu, who felt that his brain was a little messy, looked at Horii with a confused face, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

After all of them, he had followed Lu Xuan for so many university courses, and Da Gu may not have the talent to become a top researcher, but he still has the most basic knowledge reserves.

Jeepta-3 is one of TPC's Jupiter exploration spacecraft......

Dr. Jiang Qi is the developer of the DCS system within the Space Development Agency......

The mechanical beast that made trouble for the Space Development Bureau has returned from the universe......

When these details were linked, Dagu suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

"Could it be that the mechanical beast is the missing Jepta Three?"

"Dr. Jiang Qi, are they in the body of that mechanical beast right now?"

As Da Gu Dao revealed this possibility, the scene fell silent again.

Megumi Kuma, Munakata and Horii, who had already guessed, did not speak, leaving only Rina and Norui, who were stunned, still looking at each other.

"This question...... Let me answer! ”

At this moment, a mosaic suddenly flashed on the big screen in the control room.

Immediately afterwards, Sha Ji's avatar appeared on the big screen, and said in a slightly serious tone.

"Ligadron, the mechanical beast you call it, is none other than the missing Jepta III."

"Or more accurately, it's the Jeepta III that has been turned into a monster."

Ever since Saki appeared in TPC's field of vision as an "alien princess", she has been committed to maintaining the balance between humans and extraterrestrial life.

In addition to serving as an external instructor for the victory team on a day-to-day basis, Shaki has also formed a small intelligence organization of his own outside of the Galvin group.

Although this small intelligence organization is only nominal, most of its sources of intelligence still come from Lu Xuan and Kirino Makio.

But at least in the eyes of the earthlings, Sha Ji, whose intelligence is quite accurate, is indeed worthy of the title of "alien princess".

As a result, the relationship between the cosmic humans living on Earth and humans has been greatly eased, and the bad effects of the "Shinjuku Incident" have been eliminated little by little.

"Two months ago, Jeepta-3 was attacked by unknown life on a daily mission to explore Jupiter."

"This unknown life assimilated the body of the Jeepta-3 and absorbed the three Dr. Jiang Qi who were still in the spacecraft at the time, which became the current Lijadelon."

"Maybe it's for survival and evolution, or maybe it's influenced by the will of Dr. Ezaki......"

"After leaving Jupiter, Ligadron chose his next target as the headquarters of the Space Development Agency."

There was a slight pause in his voice, and Sha Ji waited for the victory team to digest the news before continuing.

"I'm not sure if you TPC have any relevant information, but I personally suggest you visit Dr. Jiang Qi and their family."

"Since Ligadelon returned to Earth under the influence of Dr. Jiang Qi and others, it will definitely not forget those former family members."

"If you make it, there might be some windfall."

As soon as these words came out, Captain Megumi Kuma, who had already realized something, immediately turned around and gave instructions to everyone in the victory team.

"Ye Rui, immediately find out the information of Dr. Jiang Qi and the three of them, and see where their families are now, and whether they have been circling in the area of Lijadelon?"

"Horii, Lina, and Dagu, the three of you will act separately and go to the location of Dr. Jiang Qi and their family."

"Munakata! You go to the headquarters of the Space Development Agency again, and I want to get all the data on Jeepta-3 in the shortest possible time! ”
