Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor.

Shinjo, who was leaning back in his chair with his hands on his head, was taken aback and asked, "Are you leaving so soon?"

Daigo chimed in, "Stay for a meal before you leave!"

Munakata and Irihime were also looking at him.

Horii sighed and explained, "The [Petrification Ray] is almost at its final stage. I want to finish analyzing it as soon as possible so I can rejoin the team!"

Since Tiga's resurrection, he could only watch his teammates fight on the front lines on the monitor, unable to help at all, which made him feel terrible.

"This……"

The others were at a loss for words.

Megumi Kijima smiled and said, "Then go ahead, but don't be too busy. Our Victory Team still needs your brains!"

"Okay, bye everyone!" With that, he walked out with the documents in his hand.

"Bye-Bye!"

At this moment, Feng Du was stunned. A black line directly merged into his body, bringing with it the information stored over the past few days.

'To think he's even doubting us! This Yoshitsugu Yoshikazu is truly not to be underestimated!'

Even more formidable is Director Sawai. To be honest, Fengdu never expected that the kind old man would have such a broad mind.

Four members of his trusted team have been confirmed to be hiding secrets, yet he doesn't deal with them immediately, but instead lets them run rampant and trusts them.

Li Fan had rarely seen a leader like this.

Li Fan admitted that he admired the other person to some extent.

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

Everyone was taken aback and turned to look, only to find that standing at the door was Reiko Kenmura, the current director of the Research Bureau. She walked up to Fuuto and said to everyone, "I'm here to see Dr. Fuuto!"

Feng Du was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Looking for me? What's up?"

Reiko Kenmura made no attempt to hide anything and said directly, "The upgrade of the weapons and equipment for Flying Swallow No. 1 and No. 2 has just been officially issued, and I've come to ask for your help!"

"Oh, oh!" Li Fan understood the other party's intention, but he looked at Ju Jianhui instead, since he was now one of her soldiers.

Keiji frowned.

"Upgrade weapons!?"

TPC is a peace alliance!

It only took one day to load weapons onto the Flying Swallow No. 1 and No. 2 rescue aircraft.

This has already greatly angered peace advocates, and now they want to escalate its power...

Reiko Kenmura took out the document and handed it to Megumi Kijima, saying, "This was approved by Director Sawai!"

The upgrade plan was clearly stated on it, along with approvals from Director Sawai and Tetsuji Yoshi.

Megumi's brows furrowed even more.

"This……"

She glanced at Dr. Kenmura, then at Kaede.

He got up and walked outside, saying, "You go ahead, I'm going to see Director Sawai!"

"Oh!"

Chapter 56 The Predecessor of the Flying Swallow

After watching Nanase Fudo walk out with Kenmura Reiko, Shinjo walked up to Rena and nudged her.

With a smile, he asked, "Dr. Kenmura is single, and so is Xiaofeng. You've been urging Xiaofeng to get married soon, haven't you? I think Dr. Kenmura would be a good fit!"

Lina, holding her coffee, rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything.

'A 33-year-old auntie, how could she possibly step into my Nanase's house!'

However, it was not easy to say this outright, so she kept quiet.

After leaving the command room, Fengdu followed Jiancun Lingzi and took the elevator to the Feiyan-1 modification cabin.

Besides the Flying Swallow 1, there was also the Flying Swallow 2, and two Unit-01s parked next to it.

The two Unit-01s are almost identical in design to the Hyuga 1 and Unit-02.

However, it is not as rounded as Unit 1 and Unit 2, but has sharp edges and a very high-tech feel.

Looking at the smaller plane, especially the markings on it—un-xa—Fengdu's eyes became glazed.

This was the prototype of his original design for the Flying Swallow No. 1 aircraft.

He and others in the laboratory at Metropolitan University of Technology designed the aircraft.

However, due to the use of a variable wing design, conventional energy sources could not be used, and the speed and maneuverability did not meet the requirements of the TPC organization at all. The aircraft was almost scrapped. But one day, Reiko Kenmura approached him and talked about many things, including one that could solve the UN-XA aircraft's power requirements: the idea of ​​developing a new energy source.

So the two began to collaborate.

Later, he approached Dr. Nezu, who was highly respected in the energy industry. It was on that occasion that he caught the test tube containing Zelda gas at the last minute, indirectly saving everyone in the entire street and surrounding area within a ten-kilometer radius.

He was terrified at the time, thinking he was going to die. After that, every time he came across Dr. Nezu's house, he would take a detour, even if it meant going the extra 10 or 20 kilometers, just in case he was going to die.

Later, under the guidance of Dr. Nezu, he and Reiko Kenmura jointly developed a new energy source—HPE.

This energy source has a higher conversion rate, stronger power, and better stability than traditional energy sources. Most importantly, it can be used in space.

Based on this new energy source, they designed a new engine – the HPE Space Engine.

This is the super engine currently used by the Flying Swallow.

Seeing the reminiscence in his eyes, Kenmura Reiko, who was standing next to Fengdu, smiled and said, "Remembering things from the past?"

Fengdu nodded. "Yes, a lot has really happened between the disbandment of the old defense force and the establishment of the TPC alliance!"

Reiko Kenmura also stepped forward, leaned against the railing, and said in a low voice, "You know what, I really admire you!"

Fengdu was taken aback, turned to look at Dr. Kenmura, who had a large bun hairstyle, and asked in confusion, "What do you admire about me?"

Although the two are about eleven years apart, age is not a problem in the adult world.

Besides, Kaede's mental age is much older than Reiko Kenmura's; he's the same age as his mother, Akiko Nanase.

Dr. Kenmura slowly said, "We all personally designed the dedicated machine for the TPC Alliance and understand the hardships involved. My team has been expanding, and many scientists from the Space Development Agency and various countries have joined us. Only by overcoming various difficulties one by one can we finally have the UN-XB machine."

"And you, your lab is just an ordinary lab. You could say that you designed the UN-XA machine entirely on your own. Sometimes I really wonder how you grew up!"

"Later, TPC formed the Victory Team, and you, based on the UN-XA machine, designed the even better Flying Swallow No. 1 machine."

Many times, I unconsciously feel like I'm living in your shadow! No matter what I do, I can never catch up with you!

"This time too, your Flying Swallow No. 1 machine has been armed before mine once again!"

Upon hearing this, Fengdu sighed inwardly.

"That's because I stood on the shoulders of giants, and based on my knowledge of Ultraman Tiga, combined with my precognitive abilities and my relentless pursuit of knowledge in this field since birth, that's how I achieved what I have today!"

However, he didn't say it aloud.

He said, "Actually, I just reassembled the UN-XA machine based on the existing one, and I only have two achievements to show for myself. Unlike you, who have been researching lasers and have made great progress!"

Dr. Kenmura sighed, looking at the UN-XB unit, the prototype of the second unit, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"I was really too young and impetuous back then. So many people were designing it, but they still finished after me. This made me resentful. In my eagerness to succeed, I didn't thoroughly check the hidden problems of the aircraft again, which led to the death of the first test pilot in deep space!"

As he said this, Dr. Kenmura's tone was filled with deep self-reproach.

Nanase Fudo did not comfort her. He had no right to comfort her in this matter. Although his plane had never had a major accident with fatalities, minor accidents were frequent.

"Every time I see Captain Megumi now, I think of Flight Instructor Katsuhito Miura!"

Katsuhito Miura is Megumi's husband. He was the best pilot at the time and was known as one of the three giants of TPC pilots along with Kazuma Asuka and Masami Mikawa. However, only Masami Mikawa is still alive now. He once taught Rena. Fudo met him a few times. He was a very kind person and always had a warm smile. He even made Rena, a young girl who was just beginning to experience love, fall in love with this man who was nearly ten years older than her.

Kaede also liked him very much, especially since he often took him to fly in the sky, which taught him how to design airplanes. It can be said that Nanase and her brother really treated him like an older brother. However, he did not know how the other party died, so he had no chance to save him.

Who would have thought that the other person would die in their area of ​​expertise?

He almost broke off all contact with Reiko Kenmura, but thanks to the mediation of Megumi Kiyama, he forgave her.

After all, there's no way that test pilots won't die.

He interrupted Reiko Kenmura's reminiscence and said slowly, "Let's get down to business now!"

Reiko Kenmura snapped out of her thoughts and took a deep breath.

"Ok!"

After responding, she looked at the two Victory Flying Swallows and said, "First is Flying Swallow No. 1. We need to cancel the Neil Ray and replace it with a more powerful needle-shaped high-power free electron laser."

Feng Du stroked his chin and pondered, "I see. Then we'll need to add a charge particle emission device to ensure the strong uniformity of the free electron laser!"

Dr. Kenmura nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! But we must retain the multi-function module under the nose! Here's the improvement data, take a look!"

As she spoke, she transmitted the Flying Swallow No. 1 improvement plan from her personal communicator to Fengdu's waist communicator.

Fengdu held the palm-sized communicator and glanced at the documents on it.

"Wow, quite a few weapons have been added. In addition to the existing signal flares, illumination flares, smoke flares, 7.62mm machine guns, and freezing flares, we're also adding napalm bombs, 120mm multi-purpose launchers, high-explosive rounds, armor-piercing rounds, and 300mm universal rocket launchers..."

Holding the communicator in his hand, Feng Du exclaimed, "This is practically a mobile attack arsenal!"

Some of these weapons were ones he had prepared beforehand but hadn't installed, while others were newly added, such as rockets and machine guns!

Dr. Kenmura replied, "Yes, but I don't know if adding weapons to the TPC is a good thing or a bad thing!"

Feng Du shrugged and said, "We are just scientists. The way technology is used depends on people. Even if we make cars that are easy for people to use, they can be used as weapons by people with ulterior motives. However, since it is for the TPC organization to use, it will not cause any harm to humans."

Reiko Kenmura nodded.

"You're right!" she said, then added, "Alright, you take charge of the upgrade of Unit 1 for now, and I'll take charge of Unit 2!"

"Okay, go ahead. You should be able to finish upgrading Unit 1 around 10 p.m.!"

"Ok!"
