Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 168 Selena McGriff
We finally arrived at Actaeon's server room.

Jonathan connected the hacking device that had been prepared long ago to their main network.

I have to say that the Gundam Seed world probably suffered from electronic warfare.

It's completely different from the Resident Evil world.

Any information that is even slightly important here will be isolated from the network and stored separately.

Or simply the intranet within the intranet.

Just like Actaeon.

There are separate intranets for office, data storage, security monitoring, and other purposes.

Obviously, it would be more cost-effective to build an intranet, but they just separated them all.

It is obviously to prevent intrusion.

Unfortunately, Jonathan's invasion was physical, so they couldn't stop him at all.

This time, Jonathan did not set his sights on these researchers. After all, the issue with the Atlantic Federation had not been resolved yet.

Under such circumstances, it is not a wise choice to directly provoke the Eurasian Federation.

At least it is not a wise choice recently.

Under Meredith's arrangement, a series of new ships and Gundams are being produced overtime.

Even part of the factory production capacity in the Dimension City was moved to the factories in Orb.

Among them, Asuka Shinji's parents worked in the factory.

Jonathan also paid special attention to this young man who could challenge God Ji alone.

Although the other party is not yet an adult.

But secretly, Jonathan has asked Meredith to find a way to recruit him into the army.

The more ace pilots there are, the better.

Relying solely on cyborgs to pilot the Gundam can only handle general combat.

But if you meet an ace pilot, it's all over.

Although the possibility of encountering this was low, Jonathan still subconsciously made a backup plan.

While I was daydreaming, the communicator gave me a notification that the data had been copied.

Jonathan took the things and left Actaeon via teleportation.

DSSD is a neutral research institute established for the purpose of exploring and developing the outer space beyond the orbit of Mars.

Behind it are PLANT, the Earth Federation, and some third-party organizations providing support.

Although on the surface, DSSD does not intervene in any war.

But in fact, because DSSD's technology is too advanced, countless ambitious people have already set their sights on them.

It’s just that it’s in the critical stage of research and development, so we haven’t started working on it yet.

But there was one person who was different, and that was Jonathan.

He didn't need to wait until the Stargazer Gundam was built.

Selena McGriff's AI technology is nothing to Jonathan.

The artificial intelligence technology that Umbrella currently possesses is more advanced than what Cerena is researching.

Compared to skills, Jonathan is more optimistic about Selena as a woman.

Of course, it’s not because she has long green hair, a pretty face, and the intellectual beauty of a scholar.

Mainly her scientific research ability.

Now, Jonathan and PLANT are in their honeymoon period, so they did not use DSSD openly, but sneaked into Selena's house secretly.

Like Erica, Jonathan made his demands directly to her.

"So, you want to invite me to work for Umbrella?"

Selena looked at Jonathan and asked in disbelief.

She was very suspicious that the other party had not even investigated her before inviting her.

In terms of ideology, DSSD and Umbrella are completely in conflict, so Selena feels that it is impossible for her to work for Umbrella.

She is very disgusted with war. If human beings can stop war, all countries should collectively look up at the sky.

I believe that humans will definitely go further than they do now, and will not remain comfortable within the solar system until now.

"We have 99% of the speed of light engine technology." Jonathan did not follow common sense and directly released the trump card.

"What!? Impossible! Do you know what 99% of the speed of light means?!" Selena obviously didn't believe what Jonathan said.

As if he knew in advance that the other party would not believe it, Jonathan threw out a document containing the engine parameters of the Prometheus.

Selena opened the file doubtfully and began to look at the technical information on it.

I was becoming more and more surprised.

With such technology, mankind's dream of exploring outer space is no longer a dream, but a reality.

She looked up at Jonathan with a complicated look in her eyes.

Umbrella actually possesses such technology, but is only obsessed with war.

In her eyes it was a huge waste.

Of course, she was not so arrogant as to think she could influence Umbrella's decisions.

"Although I admit that Umbrella's technology is very advanced, our philosophies are not consistent. Please forgive me for declining your invitation."

After struggling for a while, Selena still rejected Jonathan's request.

Seeing the other party's stubborn look, Jonathan smiled and did not draw out the Sage's Blade directly.

Instead, he said, "You don't think that PLANT or the Earth Federation really want to explore space and that's why they're funding your research, right?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Jonathan's tone.

From ancient times to the present, true peace has always been built under a unified regime.

If divided regimes could coexist peacefully, the world would have been at peace long ago.

Why is there still a fight between PLANT and the Earth Federation?

Not to mention the Blue Cosmos that stabbed him in the back. Jonathan dared to directly assert that if a strong government did not emerge in the world of Gundam Seed, it would be able to do so through various means.

Whether it is war, diplomacy, or conspiracy, if the world's political power is not unified, there will be no organization truly dedicated to space exploration.

Although the concept of DSSD sounds very good on the surface.

In fact, in essence, it is just a testing ground for various ambitious people to apply the latest war technology.

Selena actually knew this, but she could do nothing about it.

Because that's how the world works.

It's not something she can influence alone.

"I understand what you mean, but DSSD will protect these technologies as much as possible and only use them for space exploration!" Selena said stubbornly.

Hearing this, Jonathan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Thinking of the final fate of the Stargazer Gundam in the original work, Jonathan really didn't believe that their DSSD could preserve these technologies.

Seeing Selena's stubborn look, Jonathan didn't want to waste any more words. After all, he was only interested in her scientific research ability.

I don't care about her position or ideas at all.

As long as she doesn't harm her own interests, she can do whatever she wants.

So Jonathan gently pulled out the Sage's Blade from the scabbard.

After sending Selena into the Dimension City, Jonathan also recruited other key researchers of DSSD.

In fact, if it weren’t for the relationship with the Eurasian Federation, Jonathan even wanted to kidnap all of Actaeon’s researchers.

However, at present, with the cooperation of Shuguang Society and DSSD.

Integrates the technologies of Wieland Industries.

A brand new project was officially launched.

That is to develop a single-unit ship that can be mass-produced to break through the atmosphere and gravity.

A MS with 360-degree light wave defense technology, a body covered with PS armor, and equipped with a miniaturized positron cannon.

The benchmark is the Freedom Gundam which is currently in the development stage.

The mobility, defense and firepower are far inferior.

The purpose of development is to equip cyborgs in case there is a need to intervene in space wars in the future.

Half a year has passed.

The Atlantic Federation has been arranged by Meredith with the help of George.

A series of characters have been turned against the government, including some hardliners, and they have been replaced by Meredith with one-to-one cyborgs.

The current situation actually only requires a formal announcement.

The Atlantic Federation can be merged into the Umbrella Corporation.

But Meredith didn't do that.

Because if they do this now, Umbrella Corporation will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism in the world.

Of course, most of the countries on Earth are nothing to be feared.

The main reason was that the nails Jonathan planted in PLANT did not play a particularly big role.

After all, PLANT's power is complex and varied.

Although the Jurists and Kleinists have great influence, they have not reached the level of dictatorial PLANTs.

However, their actions in PLANT have enabled Jonathan to acquire complete neutron jamming technology.

There were also some outstanding scientists from PLANT who were recruited to Umbrella as a result of Jonathan's occasional trips to space.

Of course, a large part of it is voluntary.

The benefits of doing so are also very significant.

It also played a great role in promoting the research and development of new MS.

That day, Jonathan was invited by Erica to the Dawn Society to visit his new machine.

Because it is Jonathan's exclusive machine, it uses the most advanced technology currently available.

And no cost is spared in the manufacturing process.

At Jonathan's request, the aircraft was painted black and gold.

Four new element reactors are the main power source of the body.

A new type of thruster developed by combining Wieland Industrial Technology with DSSD Technology.

It can instantly allow the aircraft to enter supersonic speed.

And its thrust is enough to allow the aircraft to directly break through the earth's gravity and enter space.

The fuselage's frame and basic armor are also new alloys developed by combining Actaeon and Weyland Industrial technologies.

In terms of defense, it is equipped with eight-foot mirror technology, light wave defense technology, and PS armor.

In terms of weapons, it is equipped with a miniaturized positron cannon, with the concerted efforts of the scientists of the Dawn Society.

Its size is almost the same as that of the Vulcan cannon.

But its attack power is equal to that of Archangel's main gun.

The melee weapon is a high-frequency particle vibration ship-cutting sword, which is not very outstanding, and there is also the conventional Aurora weapon.

In addition, a special floating cannon system was developed based on Jonathan's telekinesis.

Through this onboard telekinetic amplifier, Jonathan's telekinesis, which was originally only able to cover a city, was instantly amplified tenfold.

As for those floating guns, they are equipped with power systems and can act according to Jonathan's telekinesis.

When not in use, it will be charged in the charging slots on the hands and feet of the machine.

The attack power is at the level of ordinary Aurora weapons, but the advantage is that the attack range is farther than any floating gun system in the Gundam Seed world.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. It is expensive and requires the user to have telekinesis.

So besides Jonathan, probably only Selina and Li Siya can drive this machine.
