Chapter 1262 Mabey's Discovery and Speculation

"So... this is what you found?"

"I'm not completely sure yet, I just found a common point that makes me curious."

Yang Hui originally didn't intend to pay attention to Mabey, whose thirst for knowledge had reached a crazy level, but Mabey secretly made a gesture to him, and Yang Hui gave up the idea of ​​shirking and went to the laboratory of the GGG orbital base with Mabey. That gesture was a secret signal from Yang Hui to Mabey.

At the beginning, it was not only Yang Hui who discovered the peculiarities of [AOS] and [Drestriga], but Mabey also noticed it. Once Mabey found Yang Hui and planned to tell him about it, but was stopped by Yang Hui in time. After a secret communication, he left Mabey with this secret signal and asked her to slow down the efficiency of the investigation to avoid danger.

And now, Mabey used this secret signal, which means that she has gained something.

After a thorough physical examination of all the members of Drei Kreuz, Mabe was surprised to find that the first batch of members of [Dreistliga], that is, all the students of the 30th Officer Academy, had exactly the same gene. Although other people also had a very similar gene, the students of the 30th Officer Academy had a more obvious gene. The same one as them was Aggie St. Claus.

"I felt very strange at the beginning. Even if all the original crew members died due to accidents, there were other federal troops in [Yeles] at that time, and even the instructors of the academy were better than us, a group of students who had not yet graduated. Why did it have to be us? And... Brigadier General Fix's first communication directly handed the hope of the earth and mankind to us, which made me even more confused." Mabe explained the reason for her suspicion.

"Could it be that he thinks highly of you?" Yang Hui asked Maeby in return. Although the original members of [Drestriga] were indeed a group of student soldiers, there was one thing Yang Hui had to admit, that is, these students were very talented in their respective fields. Mitsuha Greywalle grew rapidly in the position of captain. Under Yang Hui's intentional or unintentional guidance, whether it was the tactical command of the battleship, the tactical command of the MS troops, or the strategic vision, they all made great progress.

There are also Jay and others in the maintenance class, Lian of CIC... They are all growing at a very fast speed, not to mention Maeby, whose research ability was very high from the beginning, and every time Yang Hui gave her guidance, she understood it at once, and now she is not inferior to excellent adult scientists.

"No matter how much they think highly of us, they won't give us the hope of the earth and mankind, right? What virtue do we have?" Maeby admitted that she and her classmates were all excellent young people, but... they were also young people. The future belongs to the young, but now it belongs to the predecessors. They haven't had enough time to grow up. It's suspicious to directly hand over the heavy burden to them, right?

"Continue."

"Then I secretly investigated, first the list of the original crew members. I couldn't find this list in the database, and even used a special method to enter the high-level area but couldn't find it. Although the clues were broken, my doubts were more certain; then I changed direction and started with the [Drestliga] project and internal personnel. It is strange that the development opportunity records of [Drestliga] are very vague. The development time of the entire project is exactly eight years, but there are only detailed records of the last four years. The records of the first four years were erased by someone, and the records of the last four years were also recorded from the completion of the construction of [Drestliga]. This is very abnormal.

But unfortunately, with my ability, I still can't find relevant records, so I focused on the internal personnel, and then I made the current discovery."

"...What do you suspect?" Yang Hui asked Mabe.

"I suspect... our group of student soldiers did not board the [Drestriga] by chance and become members of the [Drestriga] crew, but it was decided from the beginning."

"What else?"

"This same gene... must have a problem. People who have this gene must have some commonality, or... have some special function." Mabe answered very seriously.

"... Take a look at this first." Yang Hui confirmed Mabe's eyes. She was not joking, and she was not just exploring the unknown with curiosity, so Yang Hui took out the PAD and passed her several confidential documents, "Read it now, and destroy it immediately after reading."

"This is..." Mabe browsed the data files sent by Yang Hui with doubts. As she read, her brows frowned deeper, "Colonel Yang Hui, these data... are exactly the same as what I found, there is no new discovery."

"This is the problem." Yang Hui snatched Mabe's PAD and broke it directly with both hands.

"Ah! Colonel Yang Hui, what are you doing?" Mabe was shocked and asked Yang Hui in confusion.

"Destroy the traces."

"Ah? I will delete the file records."

"Physical destruction is more thorough."

"Uh, okay, then you just said... this is the problem, what does that mean?" Putting aside the physical destruction method that made Mabe's mouth twitch, she sought answers from Yang Hui.

"Your special method is to hack into the restricted area of ​​the central database to view the data, right?" Yang Hui asked Mabe.

"Uh... this..." Mabe's eyes dodged. Unauthorized hacking into the restricted area of ​​the central database is a serious crime, the same as espionage.

But Mabe's expression also told Yang Hui the answer: "You hacked into the central database, and you can only find the records on the surface. What I sent to you was some of the records found in the black box, and some of them were paper documents kept on file. Do you understand what I mean?"

"This... you mean, the Federation doesn't have more records at all?"

"That's right."

"How is this possible!?" Mabe was surprised. Since it was a project under the name of the Federation Army, there must be detailed records. It may not have been entered into the central database, or it may have been entered into the central database but processed, but the black box of the database or the paper documents kept on file must be retained. This is also the information management system of the Federation Army.

But the project of [Drestliga] did not even have a black box or paper documents kept on file. There are only two possibilities. One is that this project is not a project of the Federation Army at all. It just secretly used the name of the Federation Army, but it has nothing to do with the Federation Army; the other is that this project is really like the records found now, and there is no previous content at all.

"Another point is that the list of casualties reported by Fix is ​​forged. The original crew members on the list are all federal soldiers who died on various fronts, or they are simply characters he made up out of thin air, so... the so-called original crew members did not exist at the beginning." Yang Hui told Mabe.

"... It seems that the answer is very clear. There is really something special about our group of people, but... what is special about us? Do we have any special talents? Or... do we have a special role?" Mabe analyzed calmly.

"It's easy to talk to smart people." Yang Hui's mouth curled up slightly. Mabe is a smart person. She will not shout because of this special thing, but calmly analyze the cause and effect. If someone like Hitachi heard this news, he would probably jump up happily and think he is the savior.

"This is the target we are investigating, Mabe. I will check from the source what common special features you students have, and the same goes for Aggie St. Claus. Fix Blackwood also has someone responsible for gathering intelligence. What you need to do now is to pay attention to your own safety. On [Drestriga], no further investigation in any form is allowed. Focus on digging out the secrets of [AOS]. If you have any findings, don't report them to me on [Drestriga]. Find a chance to get off the ship and tell me like today."

"Colonel Yang Hui, do you mean... is there danger on [Drestriga]?" Mabe frowned. This is not good news. [Drestriga] is the warship they are on, and it is considered their permanent residence. Is there danger in their own home?

"Well, the ship [Drestriga] has many secrets. Fix Blackwood can establish unilateral communication with [Drestriga] from Earth without triggering any alarms, and... I noticed on [Drestriga] that there was always a pair of eyes staring at us, so... just be cautious."

"So... I have the same feeling, and I thought it was an illusion. Okay, I will follow your instructions, Colonel Yang Hui."

"Yes."

"By the way, should this matter... be reported to Captain Mitsuha?"

"No, let's wait until we find out the results before telling her."

"Hehe, so I am on your side now?" Mabe smiled sinisterly and approached Yang Hui.

"Pah~!" Yang Hui gave her a finger snapping attack in a bad mood.

"Aiya~!"

"I will tell you what you should know, and don't ask about what you shouldn't know." Yang Hui taught her in a bad mood.

"Tsk, stingy man..."

"Okay, check these gene samples again first, remember to keep a backup, I'll have someone receive them, and then go back to the ship, I'm leaving first."

"Okay, Colonel Yang Hui..."

"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~..."

Just then, the alarm sounded at the GGG orbital base, and Yang Hui's PAD also received a communication request.

"Captain Sanye, this is Yang Hui."

"Colonel Yang Hui, please return to the ship immediately and prepare for the attack. The traces of the Zanskar Empire have been discovered in the current space domain. The scale is very large. Currently, 30 warships and 180 MS have been detected, including new warships and MS." Sanye Greywallai explained to Yang Hui.

"Understood, I will return to the ship immediately. Please order the MS on the ship to attack first and conduct firepower reconnaissance on the enemy." Yang Hui made his own suggestions.

"The Raven 30, [Rabbit Squad] and V Gundam 1 and 2 have already launched their attack. I have [White Fortress] following suit, which is enough to find out the enemy's firepower configuration."

"Okay, I'll be back right away."
