In the anime industry, I stand at the forefront of popularity

"Aslan, you know, Mr. Siegel used to be a radical, while Mr. Patrick was a conservative."

"Well, I know a little bit."

Siegel Klein is the founding father of PLANT.

"It is precisely because Siegel realized that it was becoming increasingly difficult for adjusters to reproduce and that they could not do without natural persons that he advocated for a détente with natural persons."

"So that's the reason?" Aslan nodded.

He wasn't quite sure about that.

Siegel Klein, although he looks good, is actually no different from Sarah.

"Ms. Lux, she underwent special conditioning before she was born." Yui dropped another bombshell.

"Huh?!" Aslan's eyes widened.

The first generation of adjusters were born after the adjustment.

However, many of the second generation of adjusters rely on natural methods to reproduce.

In fact, there are not many adjusters who will adjust their children again.

But this actually shows how radical Siegel Klein was before.

Now Siegel is advocating peaceful coexistence with natural persons and advocating that regulators should reproduce naturally with natural persons.

This contrast was unbelievable to Aslan.

In a sense, Siegel Klein and Patrick Sala were the same person in the past, which is why the two became friends.

It’s just that Lux’s father wins so quickly and loses so quickly, which is a bit unbearable.

"Mr. Klein's current philosophy is more like surrender than compromise."

[There's this layer.]

[Fuck, so it seems like the PLANTs are pretty extreme too. One fights to the bitter end, the other surrenders?]

What's going on with Lux?

[It is true that we should oppose war, but it is hard to say whether we are obsessed with it or not.]

[Some bottom lines cannot be trampled upon]

[I really don't like the adjusters, but to say they surrender without thinking is really a bit overwhelming]

So what about Lux?

"And within the Klein faction, there actually exists a Lacus faction."

Yes.

Even in the "original work", most of the people working in the Klein faction are actually people around Lux.

She constantly risked her life to broadcast live from within the PLANT, and even personally led her subordinates to seize the Eternal, all of which were done by Lux. Later, the entire Klein faction became "Lux's Klein faction."

Siegel Klein, the founding father, did nothing and was instead shot into a hornet's nest.

Oh, he did one beautiful thing, which was to hand over power to his sixteen-year-old daughter.

On this point, I am still self-aware.

"Mr. Siegel Klein has this idea because he knows it's becoming increasingly difficult for Adjusters to reproduce." Yui changed the subject. "But what if one day, Adjusters regain their fertility? What if Adjusters' fertility far exceeds that of natural humans? Would Mr. Siegel Klein's position then change?"

"Hard to say……"

Although he said so, Aslan felt in his heart that the answer was yes.

"Then my father's idea is correct, right?"

However, Yui continued, "The population of PLANT is 60 million, and there are 500 million Adjusters left on Earth. But has your father ever mentioned these people—even just once?"

"..."

No, not even once.

"Mr. Patrick, did you mention how he would deal with natural humans if PLANT could defeat the Earth Union or even unify the universe?" Yui asked again.

"I'm afraid... the natural people will have a hard time." Aslan lowered his head.

Yui continued, "He didn't even mention making the next generation of natural humans become adjusters—even if it's forced, right?"

"But he must have his own considerations..."

Aslan thought.

Of course there can be.

It would actually be more dramatic if Patrick had his own ideas instead of being a crazy "vengeful ghost" as shown in the original animation.

Only a determined villain with ideas, thoughts and will can better set off the plot.

A simple madman murderer?

Cruze is enough!

However, it might be that Cruze was the one who instigated Patrick to become like this.

After all, if Cruze hadn't leaked the information about the battle in Alaska, allowing Patrick to succeed, there wouldn't have been so many troubles later, and the Atlantic Federation might have surrendered directly.

——Well, it’s decided. After Aslan is completely “incited to rebel”, I will go and give Patrick some mental induction as well!

Let's see if this person's thoughts can be saved...

"Okay, we're here."

"here it is?"

This is a residential area.

Yui knocked on the door directly.

Then, a blond-haired man rushed out and opened the door.

"Ms. Lacia! I've been waiting for you for a long time! There's still a big problem with how to solve the quantum communication function of the Dragoon system. If we don't rely on phantom particles, it will be quite difficult to achieve communication with the Dragoon system..."

As soon as the door opened, the old man spoke a series of things in rapid succession.

The other person spoke so fast that Aslan felt dizzy.

"Oh, my God, the immortal Aslan! You are here too... Oh, by the way, this is not the place to talk, please come in."

Yui Inori went in first, followed by Aslan.

He was impressed by the man.

But where did this strange nickname "Aslan the Immortal" come from?

"Mr. Albert, this is Athrun, Athrun Zala. I think you already know him." Yui introduced the two. "Athrun, this is Albert Heinlein. He's a mobile suit engineer from ZAFT. He's on leave today, so he came to visit."

Chapter 428 "It's Over Between Aslan and Me"

"It's not a vacation, I came here specifically to wait for you."

Albert spoke very quickly.

"In short, some things simply can't be discussed clearly over this broken internet. Without face-to-face conversation, many things can't be clarified... You're an authority on quantum communications and quantum computers, and I need your help. Wait a moment, I'm just sorting through the information. Confidential materials can't be shared, so I need to temporarily prepare a safe copy..."

While the other person was typing on the computer, Aslan quietly asked, "Quantum communication...is that the quantum communication I'm familiar with?"

In the world of Gundam SEED, quantum communication does exist.

But this quantum communication is pretty bullshit.

"Of course. But it's quite unreliable, relying on phantom particles. This is actually detrimental to our future research." Albert heard Aslan's words and continued to chatter away as he typed on his keyboard. "The terminals of the Dragoon system are controlled by quantum communication. Each attack terminal has high mobility and attack power..."

——So what exactly is this dragoon?

Aslan was stunned.

"It's a wireless version of the Mobius Zero's wire-controlled gun pod." Yui explained to Athrun thoughtfully, "It's the completed form of the detachable attack terminal weapon."

[Abbreviation: Floating Cannon]

[Thanks for the summary]

[I understand.]

[Why are these phantom particles everywhere?]

[Mietz particles in the SEED world?]

[It doesn't seem so weird?]

[A bit of a charlatan, but not much]

[What does this have to do with quantum communications?]

[Yes]

Albert wasn't interested in explaining, so Yui acted as a narrator for the audience and Athrun: "The Dragoon's terminals communicate with the mothership via quantum communication. Quantum communication utilizes the dispersion of phantom particles, so it's limited to short and medium distances within the range of phantom particles."

Aslan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

You said this quantum communication technology has not been realized, but it has actually been realized.

But if you say it has been realized, this kind of medium and short distance quantum communication technology will not play a big role, because quantum communication technology is generally used in encrypted communication and ultra-distance communication.

Dragoons are usable, but...

Aslan felt it was such a waste.

"However, even without the constraints of phantom particles, the Dragoon Terminal would need to frequently return to the mother body to recharge, so its range wouldn't be very large, and long-range strikes wouldn't be possible." Albert added after Yui Inori finished speaking, "Alright, take a look at this first."

"Ah."

Aslan was standing nearby, watching the two discuss academic issues with a kind of incomprehensible sound.

But it cannot be considered an academic question.

No, no, no!

Aslan realized something was wrong.

It seems that these two people are discussing ZAFT's weapons research?

Is this person a ZAFT MS engineer?

Is it really okay for you to communicate with outsiders about MS in this way?

Aslan fell into deep thought.

Never mind, the knowledge that Yui Inori possesses seems to be incredible in itself, and perhaps ZAFT's MS technology is nothing to her, so... it should, may, probably... be no problem.

"Well, it's almost time for us to leave."

After he finished speaking, Albert stood up.

"Where to?" Aslan didn't know where to go.

"Of course, I'm going to see Liberty and Justice. Miss Racia is the mother of Liberty and Justice!"

——Are you taking her to see ZAFT's secrets?!

Is this okay too?

"Yes, my assets."

Yui raised her head.

"In short, without Miss Rashiya, next-generation mobile suits wouldn't have reached their current level. And even without my guidance, Miss Rashiya would have no problem understanding the status of the mobile suits..."

[I thought it was a leak before. Now I understand, it's completely unstoppable, so give yourself some dignity.]

[I'm wondering why ZAFT is so careless and just lets the enemy have a look.]

[He's not an enemy, he's the director.]

[Director, what are you doing, Director!]

[Can this be used as a meme? This person is not the leader.]

[But I think it’s totally fine for Qi Mei to sing Flower of Hope]

It's hard to say about the Flower of Hope, but it's not impossible to sing a song called "Blessing of the Witch of Mercury"...

Aslan, who had lost all desire to live, continued to act with the two of them.
