Japan: A New Age

First Contact Part 2

Four Armal men, Akra, Mizume, Linan and Kiami, boarded at your door, plus a human robot of the same type as Alice, a male Don and a female Marina. Also artificial intelligence Larna 1206, this is the 1202 sister planes on the moon, but this was loaded rather than boarded as the brains of Alice, Don and Marina's semi-organic robots.

It was thought that 15 passengers would be cramped when these people and robots entered, but the robot was placed dormant until their arrival, as Alice alone was sufficient for the moment. Also, the four Armals are extremely comfortable as opposed to getting in the way when they are together, and they all feel like they've been together for a long time in just a couple of days.

Deputy Director Yoshida tells Morishita. "Captain, you're comfortable with something Armal, aren't you? It's perfectly natural to talk, or it's fun to have conversations."

"That's probably one of their human relativity or, to put it badly, manipulation. I heard from Rahma that their culture has taken great care of the fact that psychology is extremely developed and that people are comfortable with each other, dating each other. So it doesn't seem to behave like anything at heart or anything. Anyway, the crew seems to enjoy themselves."

"Um, when they say so, yes, but it's a little complicated," Yoshida said.

"Their civilization is more mature than ours in all sorts of fields because of our different years. Much progress has been made, both for artificial intelligence and given the rapid progress made in our country in recent years. The AI Lana 1206 records everything about their civilization, history and technology, so Shunhei, I can't imagine what would happen if you met Lana. Well, nuclear fusion power seems to be in practical use, but there's no gravity engine, and rail guns don't seem to be in practical use. Originally, I didn't seem to have much interest in weapons because I had barely experienced anything called war," Morishita says.

The voyage progresses smoothly, and "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" approaches

From the bridge, we also see a blue planet approaching four of the Armals. "It's a beautiful star. The sea is shining," says Linan, a woman.

"Yeah, I think it's a beautiful star, especially if it's new. See, that's the Glimpse Continent we're landing on. The colony has only just begun, so no one lives in 100,000 people. We're landing in two hours. You see, the city of Pearl, the capital of all over the shore of that lake on the Nozomi continent, is being built. We land there," says Deputy Yoshida.

"Pearl City, Spaceport Control Tower, this is the Japanese Defense Forces flying frigate." Ooh, "request permission to land." "Ooh."

"This is the Pearl City Space Harbor Control Tower. There are no visits scheduled for your ship. What do you mean?

"We're in contact with the alien Armals and we're putting the Armals on board. I would definitely like you to meet Mr. Shunhei Yoshikawa. Furthermore, I would like to discuss the matter because I have an important story to discuss. I'm Captain Morishita's second lieutenant. Mr. Yoshikawa knows about me.

"Um, I get it. Landing is allowed in any case. Send a guidance signal, so get down to A3. I'll contact Mr. Yoshikawa," said the control tower.

In less than 10 minutes, the "ooh ooh ooh” comms capture calls from the outside.

"Captain, this is Shunhei Yoshikawa. Note that we are still two light seconds away now," the correspondent says.

"Morishita, you still seem to be away, so I don't like the delay in time, so please reply back later by talking to me on your own" I hear Shunhei.

"First, tell me under what circumstances you are taking alien people right now. And the number of them."

To Shunhei's question, Morishita briefly explained how the Armal stars were, the story on that moon, the four awakened people, and why he had brought the four in about 10 minutes.

After a little time lag, Shunping said, "Okay. Thank you. Well, there's no way we're the only ones with this kind of event. I'll call the press, too, so please give me an interview.

In addition, its Larna 1206 unit is extremely important. Because one civilization is packed with all the details of the raid. Either way, all of the Armals will be asked to come with us to Pearl University. I'll send a reception commuter, and naturally I'll be joining you for the reception "Shunping words.

Pearl City is approaching. "Much, we've got a space port, and Pearl City is starting to look like a city. There are also a lot more buildings. There are six passenger planes and eight cargo planes and two large cargo planes. Plus, as a defenseman, a flying frigate, some of which is" Hakuru "" Morishi snaps.

Eventually, the "oops” land.

As he opens the hatch and lowers the lifting stairs, a gravity-engined commuter runs as he fades the wind-cut sound. When the commuter stops, Shunhei Yoshikawa jumps.

Later, several commuters will follow, including one with the TV station's name on it.

"Hi, Morishita. Your first contact as an Earthlings was Mr. Morishita. Are you from the Armals?" Down came Morishi, and Shunhei speaks to a line of Armals.

"Shunhei-san, I'm out of time. First, I'll introduce you. This man, Akura, and Mizume, and the woman, Linan, and finally Kiami," Morishita introduces.

Shunhei shook hands with them in turn and said, "I am Shunhei Yoshikawa. Nice to meet you."

Meanwhile, the camera's been following that all along.

Shunping turns to the camera and says. "Gentlemen. Thus, we, the Earth Humanity, have welcomed four Armals as the first intelligent humans we have met. I will explain to reporters later what kind of rush they are and why they have done this. Now, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the approximately 120,000 residents of Shinmatsu today."

Accra advances. I'm starting to talk quite a bit without a translator anymore. "I'm Armal by the name of Acra Min Von. Armals have a life expectancy of about 200 years, so I may look young, but I'm 25. But as an Armal, I'm just a chick."

I smiled that far, but I turn to the camera with a serious face and say to Mike.

"We Armals were a 20,000-year-old species, living in peace in a beautiful world, on a planet.

We barely even contended with each other because we were good at getting along with each other. But just a year ago, that world of ours was suddenly attacked by an unidentified starfleet. And we also resisted, but rather the planet was exposed to the rain of a nuclear bomb, killing people and all but a few of us.

We were isolated from leaving the seeds of the Armal race and watching my planet destroyed unharmed and people killed in it. I regret it. There are only 100 of us, but rather, we want to revive our species, the Armals, and avenge people, including my parents, who were murdered. Also, all of a sudden, that mysterious Starfleet is your threat, such as destroying the developed planets of civilizations living in peace. Please, help us. "

To too serious a content, the journalists present, and the viewers of the show, lost their words.

There, Shunhei took the microphone and said to the camera.

"Gentlemen, I've already heard this story. And I made the following decision:

1) I will first cooperate with the people of Armal to the best of my ability. Including, of course, the provision of a place for them to rebuild their civilization.

2) Next, track down the species operating this dangerous fleet to be sure to find out who it is.

3) Additionally, find a way to defend them from that weapon they have brutally committed destruction.

4) Also be sure to find a way to punish them for that.

I will definitely do more than that.

But I will be able to find a way, but the actual execution cannot be done without your cooperation. It means that we are not taking too much time to relax than we have found a specific threat to dare to do such atrocities in the future. I need your help.

By the way, I haven't finished introducing the three of you yet. I'd like you to introduce yourself. "

And, next, she gave a microphone to Linan, the woman, and her introduction, next, the male mistletoe, and finally, Kiami.

As a live broadcast, Shinmatsu aired live, but then everything was played back, additionally, the video was sent on the fastest flight to Earth. This, on the other hand, aroused serious concern, although it was also shown on Earth with great resonance.

After an interview at Spaceport, the line headed to Pearl University. When I entered the university meeting room, Junichi Nishiwaki, the governor of Shinmama, was waiting for me.

"Thank you for coming, despite the sudden call. West Side Governor" Shunhei says.

West Side shook his head with a noticeable gray hair and said, "No, no, Shunhei Yoshikawa, you can't not not come without me.," he grinned bitterly, continuing.

"I was watching the broadcast. Thank you Morishita for your hard work. I think it was precise behavior to come here without heading to Earth. I also want to thank the Ministry of Defense."

"That, thank you. It was actually a hiccup thing," Morishi says mischievously.

Further west side turned to four of the Armals and said, "You've come a lot. I call myself the West Side, and I am the head of this new Yamato administrative organization. But this Shunhei Nishikawa is much more powerful and more vocal than I am. The fact that he said it that way in the space harbor undoubtedly agrees with this newborn and Japanese people on Earth. Don't worry," he said, shaking hands with each.

"Thank you. Thank you on behalf of the Armals" words of gratitude will be delivered by Accra on behalf of everyone.

"Now that the greeting is over, I want you to show me footage of the destruction of the Armal star, which I won't do anymore. Knowing your enemy's weapons and abilities is extremely important. Maybe you should take your seats off because the Accra and the others will be hard. Because if Alice explains it, it's enough."

Acra says, "Everybody, take your seats off, I'll stay," but "Even we, of course, will stay," Linan says violently.

"Then stay. I want to hear your opinion too, so it's just fine" Shunhei said and all the Armals stay in the end.

"Then Alice, please" Shunhei instructs Alice the robot.

"This is the spaceship that first came and pulled up only in the survey," the rather distant but rugby ball-shaped shape, I can clearly see. Compared to a clearly sized asteroid, your unit has a length of 522 m and a maximum diameter of 70 m, with a mass of about 1.2 million tons.

Shunhei asks Alice's explanation. "What is the maximum velocity measured?

"It's 30% of the speed of light. But when approaching our solar system lineri, it's a little inaccurate, but it's thought to have exceeded the speed of light."

"How much was it over?" Alice answers Shunhei's question,

"It is estimated to be roughly twice the speed of light"

"I wonder if there's a battle scene with the Armals' defensive fleet" even more smooth.

"This one is not attacking the first fleet. Because they didn't attack either," Alice.

"So what fleet showed up in the raid?" Shunping question.

"There are three, so I'm going to film it now," Alice answers. The footage is photographed.

Morishita I had already seen the other Oodle crew members, but I still have to concentrate on the scenes where the Armal battleships are hit one after the other, mainly with rail guns and more missiles, with no effect at all.

Look at the three short battle scenes and say, "Beam cannon, rail gun, nuclear missile? None of this is a great deal of power," says Junping, but Alice rebels.

But the damage was so great that we couldn't resist it.

"Yeah, you Armals, unlike bloodthirsty Earthlings, don't have any dull sensibilities in terms of weapons. Mostly, that beam cannon is flashy but less powerful. I can't destroy it without my opponent probably holding still for a couple of seconds. By and large, your ship is completely harmless with beam cannons. [M]

The next thing you know, it's Railegan, but the speed is about 2 km/s and the power is too low. One last nuclear missile, but not as fast as a rail gun. You can't shoot that down, "Junping said, adding, seriously," But that barrier is troublesome. Probably in the form of reinforcements to the ship's metal, but I'm sure they're taking any of your missiles and stopping them. Probably can't tear it with a rail gun, "he says.

"Next, I'd like a scene from the planet's bombing, please." I ask Shunhei even more to everyone who can't argue with his own words.

This was a scene of great pain for the Armals. However, instead of being novel, we ended up asking for numbers, mainly to use thermonuclear reactions and sprinkle the so-called water bombs that combined nuclear fusion, which were not sophisticated but effective genocide.

"I largely get it. Then I will sum up my interpretation" Shunhei looks over to everyone.

"The first thing that showed up for reconnaissance was a large ship with excellent defense, and the actual raid was medium to three large ships, or 90 ships in our passenger ship class. That velocity means that between stars is twice the speed of light of the maximum output of the gravitational engine. So you don't know the secret of our superlight speed yet. Between the planets, the maximum speed seems to be about 30% of the speed of light.

On the other hand, the weapon is, as I was saying, not too big of a deal. But thank you. Large ships seem to be barriering metal walls, and this seems to be pretty sturdy.

To sum up, the only mysterious biological threat is the varying sensibilities that can destroy a planet that is fine and where civilization flourishes, and that's not a big deal for war. But the big ships seem pretty sturdy, but I think the destruction itself is easy. "

"Yeah, how? ♪ Everybody listens.

"Yeah, that should be putting electromagnetic protection on top of molecularly reinforcing metal walls. In that case, all you have to do is hit the kinetic energy that overwhelmingly outweighs that enhancement. So, for example, if" Ooooooooo ”storms at 90% of the speed of light from the front and shoots a missile with inertia of that speed, you can destroy it first" explains Junping.

"Yeah, with that?" Everyone is skeptical.

"That being said, rail guns are a world of less than 10 km/s per second. And the bullet itself weighs 10 kg or something like that. If you think about the speed over 200,000 km/h and the weight of the missile, the digits of the impact are about 10 different.

Well, it's not that easy to guess, "I see. Everyone had to be convinced.

Eventually, at the meeting that day, it was decided to send out contact flights to Earth as soon as possible, to start the Earth itself, plus the New Yakuza, and to issue a warning that other colonial planets also needed defense.

In addition, under the authority of Governor Westside, he decided to send one passenger ship to Armal Star to bring the rest of the Armals.
