Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Chapter 162 Gold Trading
Before heading to the La Vie en Rose, two Pegasus-class ships arrived at the location of the lunar city of Von Braun first.

GP01 will be equipped with space components, and GP04 will also be equipped with hurricane thrusters to further improve its performance in space.

Because of early preparation, the replacement of GP01 with omnidirectional thrusters and corresponding nozzle adjustments is expected to be completed in just one day.

And taking this opportunity, Paul also took half a ship's rest and invited everyone in the White Horse Chasing Group to have a drink at the guesthouse in the port.

Of course, we were repeatedly ordered not to get drunk and not even to leave the port.

After all, as long as the nuclear bomb on the white horse does not leave, no one on the ship can truly breathe a sigh of relief.

As for the MS troops, the two teams that came with the ship this time were Arcadia and Io's teams. Sandus and Ryan were still on Earth to ensure the normal operation of Onder-Tech.

However, Eli did not attend the cocktail party under the ship. Instead, he handed Rita, who had secretly run up, to the care of two women, Dr. Renoya and Ista.

Drove out of the port - sorry, officers always have privileges.

Eli did not wander around the first floor of the lunar city, but went straight to the lower city area of ​​the lunar city.

He came to the fourth level of Von Braun, the oldest residential level originally used for mining development.

Eli, who had already checked with the local police station and confirmed the destination of his trip, rushed directly to a garbage recycling station on the fourth floor, which was also in a remote area.

When getting out of the car, he made sure the pistol on his waist was securely fastened, then headed towards the small house in the center of the garbage dump.

When I pushed the door open, there was that unique creaking sound of wooden doors.

Eli was silent.

Looking around, you can see that the tableware on the table is covered with a layer of dust.

Not only that, the whole house was filled with a musty smell, which was the lingering smell after a long period of inactivity.

He ran his fingers across the dining table, then rubbed it a bit. After confirming that the thickness of the dust could not be disguised, Eli turned and walked outside.

He walked straight to the warehouse next to him and pushed the door open with both hands.

Eli looked inside and first walked to the wall and turned on the light.

There is a huge deep pit inside the warehouse, which looks like it can accommodate some large machinery.

For example, MA
Eli first walked around the pit, picking up some mechanical parts from time to time to confirm some things.

From now on, the purpose of my trip has probably been shifted.

"Kelly! Are you back?"

When Eli had already entered the deep pit to continue searching for clues, urgent shouts came from the warehouse door.

The shouting sound was getting closer and closer, until Eli looked up and the person who had been shouting stopped in surprise.

When he saw the federal army uniform on Eli, he even wanted to turn around and run.

But in the end, he stopped on his own initiative.

"Well, you're not stupid."

Eli calmly climbed out of the pit and looked at the woman in front of him.

"Next, please tell us more about this 'Kelly'."

There was no threat in Eli's words, just like he was doing business impartially.

But the girl in front of him bit her lower lip, looking conflicted.

Eli brought her to the original house, moved two chairs over, wiped them slightly, and motioned for her to sit down.

Her name is Ratula Chapra, and she is a resident of the fourth level of Von Braun.

She sat on the chair, lowered her eyes, and told the story of how she and Kelly, a Zeon soldier, met, got to know each other, and fell in love.

"Originally, Kelly shouldn't have been able to repair that MA..."

Latula put her legs together and placed her hands on her belly.

"But one time, a guy with silver hair came to see Kelly, and he quickly got involved in the repair work." That day, Latula was hiding in his house and saw Cardo coming to visit Kelly.

"Moreover, Kelly has an extra prosthetic limb, even though he had previously refused to have one installed."

Obviously, Latula had guessed that the reason Kelly was able to repair the MA so quickly was because of this silver-white guy.

He had obviously tried his best and almost made Kelly give up his identity as a pilot and live an ordinary life in this lunar city.

But because of that guy, all my efforts were in vain.

"Prosthetic limbs... could it be a regenerative P system?"

During the Tear of Water and Sky incident, after the wreckage of the Psycho Zaku was recovered, this system that directly connects human nerves and the body was confirmed from the machine's log.

But they don't have the input side, which is the data on prosthetics.

Although reverse engineering was carried out and civilian prosthetic limbs were produced, they could not be connected to the human body.

"I don't know... but after that, Kelly would always drink alone in his room with his helmet on."

"I see. Then can you tell me when that MA disappeared from this warehouse?"

"He left without saying goodbye a month ago..."

A month ago, the same time as the pirates disappeared.

However, there were no corresponding reports from either the police station or the local federal garrison.

I can't think of any other possibility except Anaheim, the one who dominates Von Braun, who could have transported an MA away from this place without anyone noticing.

Latula fished out a suitcase from behind him, causing Eli's eyelids to twitch.

Where did you get this from?

Latula placed the suitcase on the table and opened it, revealing it was full of gold bars.

"This is something Kelly left for me. He said it was his resettlement fee."

Latula said so.

"Please accept this, and then, spare his life on the battlefield, spare Kelly's life."

Tears were flowing from the corners of Latula's eyes, and she looked at Eli with sad and pleading eyes.

"I don't want this child to be fatherless!"

Latula, who had always been timid because of fear of the federal army uniform on Eli, finally vented his inner emotions at this moment.

Eli fixed his eyes on Latula's belly, where she didn't show any signs of pregnancy yet.

Is that so... If that's the reason, there is indeed a reason to spare his life.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Eli stood up.

There is nothing more to know here, it's time to leave.

"Why? Is it because you don't have enough money? If that's the case, I'll give you all my money..."

“It’s not about the money.”

Eli interrupted Latula.

"Regardless of whether the philosophy he holds is right or wrong, since he has such a resolute attitude to step onto the battlefield, what I have to do is to actually become his enemy on the battlefield."

Eli spoke indifferently.

"What I can promise you is that he will have a chance to surrender after he knows he has a child."
