Chapter 56: The Greatest Hits of the World
0
The kind-hearted little princess Cagalli, in repayment for the moon government’s kindness, lent Orb Union’s newest MS, Akatsuki Gundam to Anaheim for research purposes indefinitely. In response to her act of kindness, the Lunar government issued temporary visas to all the personnel she brought with her and arranged for a variety of different jobs for them. Deeply moved, Cagalli eventually decided to let Kira join Anaheim as well, and told him to treat people with integrity and work well, and to try to create value in return to society soon.

Looking at the two young people who were so happy to be sold by them, Ade’s mood was a bit complicated. Not only Cagalli, even Kira is unexpectedly naive. He acted mature when he talked to himself, but after entering Anaheim, he immediately showed his true form.
0
Now Kira is particularly close to Ade, and regarded Dr. Lingus as a very nice guy. He is also very enthusiastic about his work, and does everything he is asked to do. Thanks to him, Ade got a lot of precious data.
0
“Dr. Lingus, all the items on the list have been completed, what should I do next, please?” Kira asked Ade from the cockpit of the prototype MS.
0
“Activate your S.E.E.D and run another set, I need to compare data.”
0
“Yes, Doctor.” Kira executed it immediately without saying a word.
0
His overly cooperative attitude made Ade puzzled – he was taking a hold of Kira and being a little friendly to Kira, but not so much, right? After thinking about it for a long time, he still can’t figure it out. He decided to ask Lacus later.
0
The only one who wasn’t too happy was Shinn, because his position as Anaheim’s strongest tester was taken away from him.
0
“This is the data of the psycho who saved Freedom’s pilot?” Shinn looked at the test results of Kira with a defiant face, “I can accept Captain Ray’s experience and technique, but this one, he is simply cheating by his perverted physical qualities!”
0
“You can’t say that, Shinn. You are also Coordinator, for Kou or Amuro, you are also cheating by your physical quality.” Ade felt that Shinn actually knew it, but he simply didn’t like Kira, “Kira Yamato is also a Coordinator, only he is more adjusted than you. And he was a general, right? Didn’t you graduate from military school?”
0
“It’s because you didn’t go to military school, Adrien-san, that you’re confused by that title.” Shinn looked disdainful, “The instructor of the military school said back then, Orb Union’s military rank is issued for fun, don’t take it too seriously. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Uraki, he must also know it.”
0
“Is there such a thing?” Ade remembered that he had heard similar remarks on Londo Bell, he didn’t care much about this, “Shinn, after he comes down, you can also go to do the tests.”
0
“No problem.” Shinn looked unconvinced, “My data will not be worse than his.”
0
Now Ade was busy with the NT-only machine that he had promised to design for Londo Bell. As for Akatsuki Gundam, he researched its mirror system that could reflect particle beams, which interested him most, and then tossed it aside. Its design has little value for him. This system is only immune to particle beams without I-field, and has zero resistance to all live weapons and particle streams with I-field (beam sword).
0
Once an MS is equipped with this system, it means that it can no longer be hit by live ammunition or beam saber. Unless live ammunition weapons are one day eliminated, its mirror can only be useful on some special occasions. Only a top-ranked ACE like Kira can drive Akatsuki, otherwise, even a barrel of cluster rockets can easily dynamite it.
0
About that NT-only MS, Ade directly takes Jegan as the basic model and modifies it. This is not because he is lazy or has any bad taste, but simply to verify whether Jegan’s design has reached the strength envisaged, and by the way, makes an advertisement to Bright – look, Jegan can really turn Gundam! Hurry up and pre-order it!
0
The development of beam pods went pretty smoothly, because Ade could do the live verification himself. After Scirocco and Char know that he is an NT, it’s almost equal to the whole world knowing about it, so there is no need to hide it anymore. The only limit the beam pod has is the energy, which even has a higher energy consumption than the D.R.A.G.O.N system. The battery-powered MS can’t afford to equip with too many beam pods.
0
“Nuclear is good …” Ade silently chanted. So many designs are limited by energy. Shinn can shoot down Freedom – it’s mostly because Athrun was shocked by F91’s residual image function. Otherwise, with Freedom’s nuclear power, it could have used reasonable tactics to buy time and wait for F91 to drain the battery itself – the physical residual image and VSBR’s energy consumption were terrible.
0
It’s a pity that Dr. Minovsky died early, otherwise, he would have been able to get the small fusion furnace out with his natural talents. Ade had a feeling that the next technological breakthrough in energy would probably change the whole world’s landscape.
0
The day passed quickly and the progress this day was very pleasing. The Gundam’s fuselage is almost complete, he only needs to debug for the psycho-frame and beam pods, and it won’t be long before we can call Amuro and the others over for live testing.

When he got home, Lacus was cooking dinner, Ade changed his clothes and washed his hands and started to set up the dishes skillfully. Recently, Lacus’s cooking skills have improved very quickly. To be honest, it would be painful for him if he had to drink nutritional supplements or order take-out from tomorrow.
0
After the meal, Ade is usually in charge of cleaning up, and then the two of them usually chat for a while. Unlike C.C., who lies on the couch watching TV after dinner, Lacus rarely watches TV, she seems to have other interests, such as playing something on the computer.
0
“By the way, there’s a question I can’t understand for a long time.” Ade, who had packed up the dishes, sat down opposite Lacus, “Why does Kira Yamato trust me so much? It doesn’t make sense. And he’s naive for a while and mature for a while, I don’t really get it.”
0
“If you think about it, the naive one is the norm, and the mature one only shows up when it’s about Cagalli.” Lacus gave a straightforward answer without thinking, “According to what I know, Kira doesn’t kill people on the battlefield, right? Whether it’s kindness, childishness, or arrogance, at least, his moral sense is particularly strong. Once such a person has done something that goes against his moral values, the feedback of guilt will also be extraordinarily strong.”
0
“So he was overwhelmed by guilt after knowing that Cagalli was his sister?” Ade followed her train of thought down the road, “I’m tantamount to affirming him and freeing him from his guilt?”
