Ray Mingkai fell into silence after hearing Vermillion's explanation.
"Wait. I remember that Sangguwu fell when I was ten years old. "
"That's a cognitive error. Or rather, it's a self-deception by humans due to their incomplete memories when the fragment is flawed. "
Ray Mingkai's doubts were first explained by the White Cat State Zero.
"Why didn't you tell me this fact before?"
Ray Mingkai looked at the White Cat State Zero with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Does it make sense? Before that, the destruction of our homeland was undeniable and unchangeable. Not to mention Princess Vermillion who died for her country. "
Although the White Cat State Zero's words were true, Ray Mingkai found it hard to accept.
If, no, it should be said that it was the truth.
The destruction of Sangguwu City and the death of Ray Mingkai's grandfather did not happen when Ray Mingkai was ten years old, but when he was twelve years old.
Even so, Ray Mingkai could not recall the memories of the two years when he was ten to twelve years old.
Ray Mingkai had no recollection of even the slightest bit of it.
In his entire mind, it was as if this memory had never appeared.
"My memory … Have I lost it?"
The news brought by Vermillion's "resurrection" subverted Ray Mingkai and State Zero's understanding of how their hometown was destroyed, and also made Ray Mingkai more confused.
The outbreak of the Abyss was not entirely controlled by MISS Q. Instead, it was the root of the disaster caused by the new energy technology jointly developed by the two countries.
"Vermillion, State Zero, do you know what happened between the ages of ten and twelve?"
Vermillion and State Zero looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"I don't know."
"I don't know."
State Zero's answer was very straightforward, and Vermillion's next sentence made Ray Mingkai's lost memories of the two years even more confusing.
"When you were twelve years old, you were brought to the reserve pilot camp by a staff member of the Empire Research Institute."
"Someone from the Empire's research institute?!"
Ray Mingkai's gaze froze. This was an image that had never existed in Ray Mingkai's memory.
"Yes. At that time, due to the eruption of the Abyss, many people's records were lost. In order to facilitate the management and classification of the living areas of the personnel, most of the people were treated equally as new residents of the Imperial Capital. At the same time, the refugees from the various occupied areas were also brought back to the capital by the search and rescue troops dispatched by the capital. "
Vivian told Ray Mingkai what she remembered, but at the same time, it made him even more eager to find out what had happened in the two lost years.
However.
No matter how eager Ray Mingkai was, the fog in front of him showed no signs of dispersing. It still covered Ray Mingkai's vision, making it impossible for him to see the truth behind the fog.
White Cat State Zero looked at Ray Mingkai's contemplation and sighed.
What Vivian's "resurrection" brought was not only the truth, but also more of a fog that could not be solved at the moment.
For a moment, Ray Mingkai, Vivian, and White Cat State Zero did not know what to say. Although White Sharon, who stood next to them, did not speak, she had been watching the exchange between the three.
It was not until He Meimei and her sister returned that the deadlock was resolved.
"What are you doing? All of you are like stones. "
As soon as He Meimei returned to the MACROSS Fairy, she immediately tied her long hair into a ponytail to make it easier for her to move around.
"I just thought of some old things."
Ray Mingkai shook his head and took the lead to express his position, so that Vivian and White Cat State Zero could recover from their silence.
After all, if Ray Mingkai was depressed in the two lost years, Vivian and White Cat State Zero would inevitably be depressed together.
"Old things?"
He Meimei's gaze wandered around the two projections of the man and cat, and then she waved her hand.
"Don't worry about those old things. Let's talk about the good things in front of us! "
He Meimei smiled proudly and took out an authorization document from her pocket.
"Look! Earth Unification has already given us two GHOST-X9's. "
Ray Mingkai was stunned and looked at the document in He Meimei's hand in surprise.
"They really gave it to us?"
After the Sharon incident, although the Unified Government announced a ban on the development of Sharon's Black Box program, in fact, they continued to develop it secretly.
Not only was there a record of the second GHOST-X9 participating in the second unification war, but there was also a record of Luca Angelo, the future successor of L.A.I, possessing a complete version of Sharon's Black Box program during the subsequent war between F Fleet and Vadula.
Therefore, in such a historical context, Earth Unification actually gave away two GHOST-X9 in one go.
"Yes! But unfortunately, I'm afraid YF21 will have to be returned! Earth Unification refused to let go no matter what. After some negotiations, I only got the design blueprint of YF21. "
He Meimei revealed a trace of regret.
According to the patrol officer's previous mission records, as long as the patrol officer was not stupid, if nothing unexpected happened, he could always bring back a lot of technology, either hand it in or keep it for his own use.
"No. That's enough. "
Ray Mingkai was not a greedy person.
Now, not only did he take GHOST-X9 into his pocket, but he also reunited with Velvet. Therefore, Ray Mingkai did not lose much.
Besides, although YF21 was very outstanding, it was still Garut's lifelong effort.
Ray Mingkai did not want to take away his hard work just like that. If he did that, Ray Mingkai would feel ashamed to stand in front of Garut.
However, He Meimei smiled mysteriously.
"Ray Mingkai, are you satisfied with only the blueprint of YF21?"
"Hmm?"
He Meimei's mysterious smile made Ray Mingkai feel that something was wrong.
"You can't guess it, right?"
He Meimei flipped open the document and showed the contents of the next page to Ray Mingkai's eyes.
"In view of the number one ship group being attacked by a mysterious enemy, Earth Unification has decided to send an advance support team?!"
Looking at the document that described the reasons for sending support teams and so on, Ray Mingkai saw Garut's name at the end of the document on the list of members of the support team.
"Garut?! He's going to leave with us?! "
"That's right! It's said that Garut applied for it himself. "
He Meimei waved the document in her hand and stuffed it into Ray Mingkai's hand.
"Alright! That's the end of my work. All that's left is to send you home! "
Three days later, as He Meimei said, in order to support the so-called number one ship group, when Earth Unification rebuilt the MACROSS city, a large number of manpower was allocated to send the resources that they thought were most needed by the number one ship group to Sprite.
Under this premise, spaceships from all over the galaxy entered the Earth-Moon circle in succession in these three days to participate in this support.
Of course, although He Meimei played a trick in this regard, she also took out benefits equivalent to, no, it should be said that it exceeded the total value of the resources provided by Earth Unification to make up for the losses suffered by Earth Unification.
After a series of operations, everyone was happy.
On the side of the road where the transport convoy passed by, a miniaturized Jetlati was standing on the side of the road with his luggage, looking up at the MACROSS called Sprite.
He was Garut Gao Bowman, who was about to become a member of the MACROSS Sprite.
"Garut!! You bastard, just you wait!! "
Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle came from behind, and at the same time, there was a cry full of anger.
Garut was taken aback, but he took a step forward and walked faster and faster to the elevator at the end of the road.
When he got there, Garut would bid farewell to this world and go to the world where the number one ship group was located. (Earth Unification's propaganda to recruit volunteers.)
But no matter how fast Garut's footsteps were, the miniaturized version of him was soon caught up by the motorcycle at full speed.
At the moment when the motorcycle caught up with Garut, the tires of the motorcycle fiercely drew two deep brake marks on the ground, and a fist suddenly appeared in front of Garut and slammed down.
"Bastard! Garut! Are you trying to escape? "
In front of Garut, who was retreating, was the man who jumped off the motorcycle, Yong Dyson.
The side of Garut's face quickly swelled up, but he didn't care much.
He raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a calm smile.
"Yes. I want to escape! Yong, are you going to stop me? "
"You!"
Garut's undisguised expression infuriated Yong Dyson on the spot.
He raised his fist again, but it was caught by Garut's left hand.
"Yong. Don't stop me! This is my decision! "
Garut's eyes showed a hint of complexity.
"Get lost! What kind of decision is this! So what if you recover your memory? "
Yong Dyson cursed Garut's weakness.
"Then, in order not to destroy our friendship, you didn't hesitate to bear the infamy and leave Eden alone. So what if you're great? Yong! "
Garut clenched his right hand tightly and smashed it over.
"Bah! Hey! It's great! So what! Garut. "
Yong Dyson took a few steps back, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth like Garut, and chuckled.
"Hmph! Then, you should be able to understand what I'm doing! Yong. Don't stop me! "
Garut picked up the luggage that had fallen to the side and took a step forward. When he walked to Yong Dyson's side, he raised his hand and patted Yong Dyson's shoulder.
"Yong, it was you who left back then to preserve our friendship. Then, it's my turn to leave now. After all, back then, I did something unforgivable to Mei Weng, who we swore to protect with our lives. "
"You're just a guy who knows how to talk to yourself! Who cares about your atonement! "
Yong Dyson grabbed Garut's hand and gripped it tightly. He had no intention of letting go of him.
"This isn't atonement! Yong, this is a deal. "
Garut's gaze fell on the elevator at the end of the road.
"In order to preserve the original technical drawings of YF21, Earth Unification proposed a deal for me to go to Fleet No. 1 to support them for ten years."
"What?! Those bastard high-ranking officials actually dared to do this?! "
Yong Dyson was furious. He took a step forward on the spot and tried to walk to the motorcycle parked beside him.
"Stop! Yong! If you do this, what will happen to Mei Weng in the future? I'm leaving! Mei Weng, I'll leave it to you. "
Garut glanced at Yong Dyson who wanted to argue with those high-ranking officials. After shaking his head slightly, he continued to walk to the end of the road.
"Garut …"
Yong Dyson's voice came from behind him, but Garut raised his right hand and waved to Yong Dyson behind him, telling him not to follow.
It wasn't until Garut boarded the elevator to MACROSS Goblin that Yong Dyson, who watched him leave, turned around and slowly left.
In the middle of the bridge, a blonde girl was sipping black tea while watching this scene with great interest.
"I didn't expect that Uncle Yong's love triangle would have another ending! It really surprised me. "
"Pa!"
Amidst the sighing, the blonde girl's head was slapped hard.
"This time, I've caught you! Nana, aren't you afraid of being caught by your Mei Weng aunt? "
He Nana put down the black tea, hugged her head, and snorted a few times in dissatisfaction.
"What's there to be afraid of! Uncle Yong's family ran to the upgraded universe. Otherwise, sister Mei Mei, why would you agree to let Garut join Ray Mingkai's side so easily? "
Hearing her sister's unconvinced words, He Meimei rolled her eyes helplessly.
That's right.
Within his own Qin army, there was indeed Yong Dai Xun's family.
It's just that some time ago, the adventurous Yong Dyson's family actually ran to the upgraded universe and completely erased their traces in this universe.
Otherwise, He Meimei really wouldn't dare to let Garut, who could affect Yong Dyson's family, appear in Xing Yao City rashly.
Looking at her sister who was deep in thought, He Nana rolled her eyes and quietly reached for the black tea on the table.
"Pa!"
The wind suddenly blew.
A paper fan that He Meimei took out from nowhere was slapped on He Nana's hand.
"Don't slack off! After sorting out those supplies, we should go back. "
He Nana pursed her lips and touched her hand that was red from the slap.
"Not going to chase the enemy?"
"Not going to chase! Moreover, after we go back, we still have things to do. "
"Are we going to welcome Teacher Lacus?"
"Of course! After all, Teacher Lacus has been a peace envoy for many years for the peace of the universe. "
It was time to leave.
Looking at the shadows of the heavy-duty helicopters that lifted YF21 from the runway of Macross Fairy and flew to an air force base in the east of Macross City, Ray Mingkai couldn't help but feel a little sad.
After all, YF21 was also a good comrade who fought side by side with Ray Mingkai for a period of time.
That might have already surpassed the level of tacit understanding. With the help of the BDI system, Ray Mingkai embodied the legendary unity of man and machine.
However, Ray Mingkai's sadness didn't last long before he was interrupted by the anxious cry of the White Cat, State Zero.
"Kai!! Kai!! Where are you? Come back to the hangar!! Wei … Wei 'er's in trouble!!! "
