CE-71, 1/28.
Without the 'absolute defense', Artemis lasted less than half an hour facing the three mobile suits.
Accompanied by intense fire, Artemis, known as the strongest defense in the Eurasian Union, fell.
In the dark space, the Archangel, which escaped from Artemis, floats...
"Confirmed again!"
"The invincible ships react within a radius of 5,000, and the enemy seems to be completely unable to find us."
Jackie's report brought relief to the crew.
"Perhaps the ruins of Artemis helped us get here? We really have to thank it!"
Flagg sat on the chair and smiled sarcastically.
"But...our problem has not been solved at all..."
Captain Malu's expression became melancholy.
After going through so many things, in the end they still didn't get supplies on "Artemis".
The moon is far away from their current position across the earth, and the supplies that were hastily moved up from "Heliopolis" seem to be unable to last that far.
Flagg quietly came to Ma Liu and asked in a low voice: "Seriously, how are you now? Is it really miserable?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Malu looked around cautiously and whispered back: "Well, there is still emergency food available for food... The problem lies in ammunition and water sources."
"water……"
"Anyway, let's think of a plan first. We must try to save water as much as possible..."
In this case, they could only reach the moon as quickly as possible, and a simulation diagram of the intended navigation path also popped up on the screen.
"Is this the limit? Can't you find a more decent route?"
Second Lieutenant Baji Lulu looked at the route on the simulation map and asked impatiently.
"It's impossible. If the orbit gets closer to the earth, it will run into the gravel belt."
"It would be much faster if we could cross the gravel strip."
Malu said with a wry smile, and Neumann responded with a wry smile.
Although the Archangel is a new type of battleship, it cannot pass through the gravel belt...
"If we rush over at this speed, we may have to become part of the rubble."
The rubble zone refers to the area where space debris attracted to Earth ends up drifting away.
After humans enter the space field, they always throw abandoned artificial satellites or various wastes generated during space development into space.
Those space wastes float at a certain distance under the gravitational pull of the earth.
Flagg, who was staring at the screen, murmured to himself: "Speaking of it, it's like a graveyard of civilized garbage..."
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Flagg's eyes, and he said: "Wait a minute, the gravel belt...it seems not impossible."
"Um?"
"ha?"
Facing the astonished looks of Ma Liu and others, Flagg had a proud smile on his upright face and said, "Maybe I am a man who can make the impossible possible?"

As the elevator descends, gorgeous scenery comes into view.
There are countless turquoise islands on the sea surface that sparkles with the light reflected from sunglasses. Beyond the self-repairing glass that exudes silver smoke, there is the vast ocean of the universe that is inhospitable to life.
Tiny human beings have created this floating island-like vitality, making it appear extraordinarily great and gorgeous, making the scenery in front of us as beautiful as a miracle.
Aslan and Cruze were taking the elevator from the spacecraft docking station installed at the fulcrum of PLANT, and slowly descended along the huge axis tower with a total length of 60 kilometers.
Kruse sat on his seat and read the data on the computer, while Aslan stood looking down at the beautiful scenery below.
The news was playing on the screen on the elevator wall.
[Then, at the memorial ceremony for the first anniversary of "Juneos 7" held last night, Supreme Council Speaker Klein issued a statement...]
The anchor's voice attracted the attention of Aslan and Cruze.
In the picture, there is a man in his forties with a long face and outstanding temperament, and a young girl standing respectfully behind him.
Aslan's eyes moved to the girl unconsciously.
There was nothing sharp or harsh about her appearance and figure. Even though Aslan was already familiar with her, she still had a sense of surprise.
Her wavy long hair was dyed a soft bright red and spread lightly behind her back, highlighting her snow-white skin.
Her big, watery eyes, a little dreamy, coupled with her plump cheeks, always seem to be smiling and making people feel good.
Her name is Lux. Klein, the beloved daughter of Speaker Klein and the top singer of "PLANT".
"Haha, it seems like you haven't seen your fiancée for a long time."
When Cruze said this, Aslan was shocked to realize that he was staring at her intently, and he quickly changed his gaze.
The engagement between Lacus Klein and Aslan Sara is something that the entire PLANT knows about.
But every time he mentioned this matter, Aslan still felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
People around them have identified the two of them as an unmarried couple.
As far as Aslan is concerned, he doesn't hate Lux, no, it's better to say that Aslan also finds Lux lovable and makes people want to cherish her.
But when it came to getting married one day, Aslan never had any real feelings.
"I heard that she also served as the representative of the memorial group this time, which is really amazing."
Cruze didn't seem to notice Aslan's discomfort, but continued to say with an incomprehensible smile: "You have inherited the blood of Chief Sarah and Speaker Klein, and your next generation will definitely shine. Well, I - I’m looking forward to it.”
"Thanks."
Faced with this somewhat hollow compliment, Aslan just bowed dully.
······
At the same time, in the restaurant of the Archangel—
After finishing preparations for Strike Gundam, Kira walked towards the restaurant.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Thor and Mirialia, who had already started, smiled at him and said.
Sai also discovered Kira's presence and quickly reached out to poke the apologetic Fleur.
The dishes on the table at this time also reflected the dilemma inside the ship. Anyway, Noel in the corner felt that something was not to his liking.
As soon as Kira sat down at the table, Fleur stood up and said as if she mustered up the courage: "Uh... well, Kira, I'm so sorry for that!"
"Eh, w-what?"
Suddenly faced with her apology, Kira's heart beat rapidly.
"It's at Artemis."
——Because of his adjuster.
——The defective adjuster...
Thinking of what happened at that time, Kira's expression froze instantly.
However, he still forced a smile and replied: "No, it doesn't matter, I don't care, that's the truth anyway."
When he said this, Fleur's expression immediately seemed to be relieved, and she continued to say to Kira: "...Thank you."
After saying that, Fleur looked up at Sai next to her with a proud look that wanted him to praise her.
Seeing the close relationship between the two of them, Kira's expression naturally became melancholy.
"Did I say you forgot something?"
Just when Sai was about to say something, Noel, who was watching the show, couldn't bear it anymore.
"What?"
Kira and others were attracted by Noel's voice and looked over.
"!!!"
Milia and the others suddenly reacted when they saw Noel slowly getting up. At that time, Fleur seemed to have been tricked along with Noel!
"Aren't you going to say anything? You didn't show any mercy when you tricked me. Although I'm not driving a mobile suit, I still went out and tried my best. Is this how you repay me?"
In fact, Noel didn't care at all whether Freida apologized or not. Anyway, she's not my wife or my goddess, and I didn't even think about saving them.
But now you apologize to Kira, but you don't apologize to me, and you still do it in front of me.
Who can bear this! ?
