Not Super Robot Wars at All

This was Ed's first state banquet in two lifetimes, but it was not the same as what he had watched on TV "before". There is no table of dishes, no liquor, but a number of delicate foods in front of everyone. Only he and the Queen were sitting at the table in the banquet hall, and Harry stood alert in the corner of the room.

Everyone's attention is not on the food, Roland has been guiding the conversation, Diana occasionally echoes, Ed is just constantly answering Roland's questions. The dialogue is that these Ph.Ds are really young talents, and the moon is your eternal home.

"Dr. Lingoes, there is just one thing I want to ask for your opinion." Roland still seemed to be in an easygoing tone, "PLANT invites you to have a one-month technical exchange. What do you think?"

"Huh?" Ed was taken aback for a moment, and then pretended to be stupid. "Why?"

"Mr. Klein said that there are still many uncertain factors in the later stages of the nuclear power engine. He hopes that experts like you can guide you. Of course, if you are really willing to do academic exchanges, the other party is extremely welcome." Roland seemed to see. In response to Ed's concerns, he took the initiative to express his stance, "I personally think it is a good opportunity. It is also necessary for scholars to broaden their knowledge. What do you think, Diana?"

"Don't have any psychological burden." Diana's voice couldn't hear the emotional tendency. "Your behavior and your choices only represent yourself."

"Did PLAANT say when it was?" This sentence is true, "There are actually quite a lot of things at hand."

"Next February. Although it is almost the end of the year, there is still some time."

"That's it..." Ed pretended to entangle for a while, "Then I'm better off being respectful."

Then there was a non-nutritious conversation, and there was no substantive content until the end of the meal. The waiter has taken the tableware, and Ed is about to give up the urban legend. At this time, Diana suddenly said: "Dr. Lingoes, thank you for your outstanding contributions to the moon. As usual, we will do our best. As a reward for fulfilling one of your requirements."

"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly." Roland smiled at Ed, "I am also curious about what kind of wishes Dr. Lingoes, as the father of Gundam, will have."

"The title of the father of Gundam is really shameful." If you have any thoughts, you can fight for what you want, and others can't give it if you don't get it. "Gundam isn't me working behind closed doors. , Born out of nothing."

"Oh, how do you say?" Roland was successfully aroused by curiosity, "I haven't heard of doctors and assistants. Is it because someone else inspired you?"

"In fact, all the inspiration for Gundam design..." The success or failure is in this one action, "All comes from His Royal Highness Roland's TurnA. So if I don't offend, I want to see the real body of TurnA."

The pleasant and friendly atmosphere on the dining table a second ago was wiped out in an instant. Diana was still indifferent with nothing but me, but Roland seemed to have completely changed himself. The image of the boy next door just now was like a dream bubble. The sharp eyes and Ruoruuowu's murderous aura always reminded Ed that he was a truly ruthless man who had slaughtered the fleet alone and dyed countless souls. For a moment he even thought of Jin Karam, no, it's worse, this kind of mental tension is just like a higher level creature in the food chain.

"Then Doctor," Roland put his hands on the table, his five fingers aligned in front of his eyes, "Can you tell me the reason?"

The person in front of him is already a completely different creature from the Roland in his memory. This is the only thing Eddy can be sure of now. He carefully tasted the attitude of the other party, extremely alert and cautious, but did not feel any hostility. Even if he fails, he is just rejected. This is his best opportunity. There are some words that are only suitable for his identity. This is his unique advantage, and there is no reason not to use it.

"Out of curiosity." At this time, just tell the truth. "As a researcher, I can't help but want to know what kind of MS TurnA is, what is the last glow of the Earth-Moon War, the so-called Moonlight Butterfly. What is it, and whether there is any trace of the legendary black technology."

"That's it?"

"Isn't this enough?" This kind of setting of unknown origin makes people sleepless and sleepless. Do you know how much work I have spent to realize this neurotic worldview? "Curiosity and thirst for knowledge are the greatest human beings." power."

Roland closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes to look at Diana. Ed did not see any expression on Diana's face, but Roland obviously had a different understanding from him. Roland shook his head imperceptibly at Diana, who hesitated for a while and nodded.

Ed felt that he was at a loss. Either these two people are new NTs, or he is a senior single dog.

"Dr. Lingoes." Roland finally finished making eye contact with Diana, facing Ed, "Some people say that TurnA is the moon's biggest trump card. I don't deny that. Some people say that black technology is the moon's biggest secret. I can tell you. But I can tell you one thing, I don’t know the origin of black technology."

Is it really a setting of unknown origin? This is probably the answer I don't want to hear the least, and it's much better to make up any reason.

"The so-called black technology is a ruin that Diana and I accidentally discovered when we were exploring on the moon. There are many incomprehensible advanced technologies in it, and some of them can’t even find a way to operate, and there is nothing left in the ruins. Record. Diana and I encountered a lot of dangers in it back then, and it was dangerous." Roland seemed to remember something, holding Diana's hand and showing her a warm smile, Diana also smiled the same.

Ed felt a little under-eaten just now, and now he's not only full, but also a bit supportive.

"General Jinkalam was surprised to tell me that you are an NT before the meal, but you weren't when you met last time." Roland's evil spirit gradually melted, and he slowly returned to his previous polite appearance, "More importantly. It’s that you have no malice towards the moon or us. I think that for a human being, no malice is the greatest goodwill."

Roland's words are a bit pessimistic, but Ed is not incomprehensible. It is precisely because the world is like this that mutual understanding between NTs is even more commendable, making it easier for people to be addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

"Dianna and I trust General Jinkalam as NT's judgment. A mediocre person like me just knows what it is and doesn't know why, but if it is a man like Dr. Lingos, can he unlock the secret of TurnA? ?"

"His Royal Highness Roland?" Could it be that...?

"Only for TurnA, you have a week to explore its secrets. After a week, whatever you have gained, please share with us."

…

"...So?" C.C. boredly squeezed the newly bought Harrow pillow, which was the same green as the previous one, "You will be back late every day for the next week?"

"TurnA! Moonlight Butterfly! You don't understand the seriousness of the matter at all!" Ed waved his hands to try to make the science in front of him understand blindly, "This is simply one of the most inexplicable things in this world, and I will have it tomorrow. The opportunity to figure it out!"

"I don't think you can figure out such a big secret in a week. Don't overestimate your IQ by making a few robots." CC put on a usual indifferent face, "And if you don't understand, what can you do? What? Could it still make you feel uneasy to sleep?"

"Yes." Ed nodded naturally. "From the day I seriously considered the origin of black technology, every day I slept very peacefully."

"...Are you serious?" C.C. stopped tossing his pillow and looked at him suspiciously.

"Have you ever heard an idiom called ‘worry about the sky’?"

"Do you still speak Chinese?!" He spoke the last four words in Chinese. C.C. opened his mouth slightly in surprise, "When did you learn it?"

"In Qi State, I am worried that the sky will collapse and the ground will sink, and I can't eat and sleep well every day." Seeing that she understood, Ed couldn't help speaking in Chinese directly like a prank," his friend comforted him. You see the world, the sun, the moon, and the stars every day. What is there to worry about? I think it makes sense, so I don’t worry anymore."

C.C. didn't interrupt, as if he didn't know what he was thinking.

"But Qiren’s friend’s analysis is unreasonable. It is not even a mathematical induction method. It is just simple empiricism. It cannot be concluded that the sky will not collapse and the ground will not fall. We laugh at Qiren because We stand on the shoulders of giants, knowing what the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars are, we can affirm that the sky will not collapse and the ground will not sink."

"C.C., what do you mean by the so-called black technology?" Seeing that she had no interesting reaction, Ed gave up and continued speaking Chinese, "I worry about whether the sky will collapse after I get up the next day before going to bed."

C.C. exhaled a long breath, threw the pillow aside, got up from the sofa and stretched. The pajamas were a bit short, and the navel exposed for only three seconds completely destroyed the atmosphere just created.

"...So? You will be back late every day for the next week?"

"I won't come back too late. I will bring a change of clothes." Ed rolled his head and pretended not to see anything, "I will call you when I don't come back."

"Is going to PLANT in February next year?" C.C. sat back on the sofa and picked up the pillow again to toss, seeming a little happier than before. This person's emotions are more difficult to judge. It took a long time for Ed to gradually find the pattern, "Just in time, I will go back to the earth."

"Why? Isn't it insecure?"

"The limelight in February next year will almost pass. And you should know," CC patted Harrow's head. "Geass and NT are two completely incompatible systems. You can awaken NT. Against common sense of science."

I really want to complain about this scientific common sense...

"It didn't matter at first, you have enough anomalies, there is no shortage of such one. But listening to what you said just now, I was a bit unreasonable. And it's you..." CC sighed and seemed to want to say something. Then he gave up, "...Go to the Blue-eyed White Dragon. Your own ship should be safe, and Asuka is a free bodyguard."

"Just in case I'm asking too much," I hope I didn't set up the flag randomly, "Where can I find you in case you lose contact?"

"You asked this question for the first time in so many years?" C.C. was obviously smiling, but he was a little embarrassed when he smiled, "...Japan."
