Chapter 112 A Brief Encounter with the Universe
Early the next morning, sunlight streamed into the room where Kaul was sleeping, waking him from his sleep.
At 8:50 a.m., the atmosphere in the Victory team's command room was relatively relaxed.
Because of the attacks by Golza and Melba yesterday, and the ongoing TPC's plan to upgrade Director Yoshioka's Flying Swallow, the members of the Victory Team, except for Hori, are basically on standby as test pilots.
So, aside from any field missions or patrols, everyone had no choice but to sit at the base and wait for orders today.
Daigo sat at the round table, staring blankly at the computer in front of him. He looked somewhat listless, as if he hadn't slept well after going home last night.
Ever since Kaul talked to him a lot last night, Daigo has been wondering what Kaul will teach him first today.
"Will it be like in novels, where you sit in meditation and feel the universe and nature?"
"Or is it a beam of light like the one Ultraman Tiga taught me in my dream?"
"Or should we go straight to the training room and start practical training?!"
Shinjo, who had nothing to do, saw Daigo spacing out and came over to hug him around the neck: "What are you spacing out for? You're practically drooling."
He then vigorously ruffled Daigo's hair: "Are you traumatized by yesterday's plane crash? Next time you train, learn more about how an ace pilot like me flies. Also, don't be so impulsive. Luckily, the ejection system worked in the end, or we would have lost you."
"I'm sorry, I won't be so reckless next time!" Daigo solemnly apologized to Shinjo, after all, he had been too hasty at the time.
"Good to know." Shinjo patted Daigo on the shoulder, sat down next to him, and started looking at the weaponized template of the Flying Swallow, wanting to get used to it in advance.
Not long after, the automatic doors of the command center opened to both sides.
Kaul walked in, dressed in a pure black TPC uniform.
Today, Kaul didn't have the same aura he had with the advisors and high-ranking officers yesterday. Instead, he was holding a bunch of coffees he had just brought from the cafeteria and giving them to the Victory team members. He looked very kind and approachable.
"Good morning, everyone. I've brought you coffee," Caul greeted everyone.
"Good morning, Advisor Kaul. Is there anything you need our cooperation with at the Victory Team?" Megumi was a little surprised to see Kaul, who had been promoted to advisor, come to their Victory Team. She didn't know what this ancient person needed.
Upon seeing the newcomers, all the team members inside stood up and quickly greeted them. They had already seen the transfer order and were well aware of Caul's situation.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to come and comfort everyone. Personally, I prefer to be on the front lines fighting rather than staying behind the lines alone."
Kaul distributed coffee to everyone present, thoughtfully leaving the sugar out.
The team members present were completely taken aback by Kaul's kindness, as they each had connections within TPC and had heard about what happened in the meeting room yesterday.
But this is completely different from what was rumored. He's such an easy-going staff officer.
"By the way, I also brought some things for the Victory Team that I think will be very useful to you." Kaul took out his personal PDI from his pocket and plugged it into the Victory Team's computer.
Ye Rui looked at the outgoing Kaul and made room for him, but Kaul looked at the main unit and was a little intimidated; he had never used such advanced technology before.
"I'll leave it to you, Team Member Nori. It contains information I've compiled about aliens and monsters. This will make it easier for you to deal with them and prevent you from being completely ignorant of their abilities."
"Data on aliens?! And data on monsters?!" Nori was immediately excited upon hearing this news. He was extremely excited about this data, which allowed him to see a bigger world, and he could also use this data to create weapons specifically designed to deal with them, just in case.
Ye Rui looked at the information on the aliens and monsters and displayed a portion of it on the big screen.
"Magna aliens?" Shinjo looked at the information above, somewhat surprised by the title attached. "Chief of Staff Caul, are you serious about the title you gave them in the information?"
"A sword-wielding tyrant? A swarm of locusts destroying galaxies... is this the kind of alien?"
Kaul sipped his coffee, nodded, and leaned against the command table: "That's right, these guys are notorious invaders in the universe. They don't usually conquer for resources; often, they just want to enjoy the thrill of conquest and destruction."
"Keep watching, Wild Ridge," Kaul nodded in agreement.
The image changed, transforming into a black and white monster with a carapace and a glowing cross on its face.
"The Space Dinosaur, Zetton," Ye Rui read aloud from the information, somewhat incredulous. "How is this possible? The data shows that the fireball attack temperature of this monster reached a trillion degrees!"
"One trillion degrees? Are you kidding me!" Shinjo almost dropped his coffee in shock. "If that temperature fell on Earth, let alone cities, the entire surface would evaporate instantly!"
Captain Megumi and Vice Captain Munakata's expressions also turned serious.
They originally thought Golza and Melba were terrifying enough, but now it seems that in the vast universe, the threats Earth currently faces are not even an appetizer, since it looks like Golza and Melba can be beaten to death.
"That's why I'm so strongly supporting Director Yoshioka's militarization plan," Kaul explained to everyone, revealing his true purpose.
"The universe is not a fairy tale. Earth cannot hide in its cradle forever, nor can it be protected forever. If one day, biological weapons like Zetton or invaders like the Magma aliens descend upon Earth, the weapons in your hands will not even be able to fight back."
Looking at the countless records of aliens and monsters, Megumi suddenly felt that Caul had been brought back and joined TPC.
Becoming an advisor is a great thing; a qualified mentor can provide them with a better path, and they can further enhance it.
"Chief of Staff, the value of your information is immeasurable. It will be of great reference to the weapons department, the research department, and the tactical planning. On behalf of the Victory Team and humanity, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"It's nothing, just a small favor. It's just that you've learned some things about the universe in advance. As for technology, I'll help you as much as I can. After all, overly advanced technology is destroying your creativity and bringing more uncertainty."
"This is enough, Staff Officer Kaul." Zongfang was very grateful. As someone who came from the defense force, he knew very well the value of these things.
