"When I was on Earth. There's been a fuss about countries near Japan having nuclear weapons. I forgot your name, but you're definitely a bad friend... whoa, you don't sound so good right now"

Rupture sounds heard from somewhere. Taro continued as he leaned back in the rear seat of the armored car Chiha, hoping that was the sound of the enemy wind being destroyed.

"Nah, a lot of people were worried that it might come down one day, radiation from explosions, blasts, shockwaves. How many kilometers of radius do you reach - or because you have a bad hitting rate - and you did it on the news, but I don't care, you're lying. We're not dropping nuclear warheads on the ground, and there's no way a blast or shock wave is coming."

Taro said as he remembered his spongy memories of the past, little by little.

"Was it indeed a high-altitude nuclear explosion? The point is, it's the right way to use it this time... which is also weird. Effective use?

Says Marl, sitting in the passenger seat, looking back a little. Just in case, she still wore an armed suit. And Xiaomei, who sits in the driver's seat, likewise wears a suit. The suit also has electronic attack resistance.

"It will depend. Did I say Compton effect? Well, the detailed physical phenomena are familiar with Marl's and the others. So when we have a nuclear explosion at a high altitude, there's an EMP across a 1000km radius or something like that. You seriously don't care if the range of influence is big or the hit rate or anything around there. I just need to detonate it in the right place. It's a satellite launch. - Okay, I'm going to pass a little over your country. - Okay, so if you delude and experiment, it's perfect. It means it's possible to attack countries that have been able to cross the border with the EMP."

When Taro meditated his eyes, he remembered the streets of his nostalgic hometown. I wasn't sure if that was really what my hometown looked like, but I felt nostalgia in my chest.

"Shockwaves, blasts, nothing, but instead, all the electronics break. Computers, cars, flying planes, hospital facilities, nothing. All unprotected electronics break anyway. And then the power grid dies, so don't lose electricity. Broadcast communications also die. Infrastructure is devastating. The building stays, but people die because they won't be able to carry food. Maybe, but you'll die dozens of times if you drop it on the ground."

Taro laughed mocking himself when he said that, he woke himself up that it was time for an escape aisle exit. The footage carrying the footage of the front of the vehicle did show the lights outside.

"What happened to the bass than that, the bass... if that thing was done, you'd end up losing"

As Taro opened the hatch of the armored car, he stepped out and gazed at the visibly ladder-base.

"Ah, damn it!! Yabba. It's more lame than I imagined. It's like you let go of a beam cannon at close range."

"No, you blew it off. You let him go."

Ladderbase was in pain, hurt, and blurred shape, but at first glance it also seemed safe. However, it was not apparent whether the orbital satellite elevator functioned safely as a base.

……………………

Still silent, Taro asks about the facility. I couldn't say I had a good view that was erased by the sandstorm, but I was hoping that something would be less visible in the facility where I could even see it. Even if what you could see was wild, it's only good to know it wasn't. The winds on the surface were meant to be burned down, but Taro expected the guys who were also underground to be coming out onto the surface.

"……… Ah"

Unexpectedly leaked voice. On the roof of the rudder base, I saw something blurry moving.

"What? Hey, show me, too."

"Like something moved............... no, I can't. You two can't do it."

Marl is forced to put his body in a narrow hatch that isn't made for the two of us to use. Taro managed to make room for Marl while worrying about whether he should feel sorry for the fact that he had nothing to feel because of the fact that he was wearing an armed suit.

"Hey, let's get a little closer. Doesn't look good."

"No, I can't. The guys in the basement might come out."

While the two have a conversation, their gaze is directed to a far base. Taro narrowed his eyes in his helmet wondering if he would look better, even though he knew there was no point.

"... I knew you'd see something."

Some black ones you can see on the roof. That looks irregularly shaky and loose. Taro wondered if it would be sarcastic and windy in search of an entrance into the facility, but that was apparently different.

"... I did it"

My heart swells in anticipation, my hands rise naturally. When more than one of them gathered in one place, they began to put something up.

"I did it... I did it, Marl!

Something stirred up by a sandstorm and moving at all costs. Probably made of cloth. It had a distinctive pattern that the Tarrandas knew well.

"Yeah, yeah, I know! We win!

"I won! We won! Look at us! We win!

Hands up, two that will be perfect for nature and long live. When they hugged each other as they rode themselves out of the hatch, they shouted joyfully. They did so the whole time until they were rescued by the hands of the cyborgs for a body that eventually stopped falling out.

What was raised was a flag painted with a logo imitating the circle of the sun. It was the flag of Rising Sun.

The ladder-based rooftops, where everything was gone, were now starting to add a little more stuff. Containers are placed, materials are loaded, and yakura is arranged for repair. People came and went on the roof and it was as busy as it was during the war.

"" Don't fail to be vigilant. The guys in the basement should still be there......... hey you can fix the Sentry Gun later! I'm out of ammo! ""

Alan flies and the instructed staff follows. What I was holding was a weapon, a tool, a shield. That was nothing different from the situation in the fight, but the footsteps were light.

"" Check ladder adsorption. Fifteen seconds left to joint................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Xiao Mei's soaked voice flowed into the facility, and the gaze of the workers who had concentrated on hand until then turned upwards. The most important facility in Ladderbase, the coupling mechanism, generates an intense magnetic force with the plasma and begins to attract the ladder, which I guess was wandering somewhere above.

"" … 3… 2… 1… Consolidation complete ""

Once again the earth and the universe are united. Everyone in the institution cheered and expressed joy at thought. It seemed like Alan was screaming many times not to get distracted, but not many people seemed to hear it.

"When you look at it like this, there's something quite emotional about it."

Phantom, wary of his surroundings at the corner of the roof, shrugged after seeing the whole end of the concatenation.

"That's what you do, right? It does make sense that you've protected it."

That's what Taro replied, looking up, just like Phantom. When he drew the container box that was around him, he sat back in a chair change.

"There was a lot of damage, but it was worth it."

Put your thoughts on the deceased men and pray for the best. Phantom's short answer, "You're right," was the enough answer Taro needed right now.

"Will they come again?"

Take your gaze off the elevator and now turn to the surface. The sand falling over the blast disposal erased its traces, but that was where the wind from the ground appeared.

"I don't know. I don't know, but if I were you, I'd bet you wouldn't come."

Could it belong to a deceased subordinate, Phantom, who wrestles the recognition slip with his hand?

"That's another delightful answer. Sometimes there's a reason?

"I don't know if I can say it's a basis, but you do. No matter how much artificial intelligence you can do, you understand that the earth is a horrible place. In fact, I haven't seen them once since Operation Aurora was activated. There must be enough wisdom to avoid dangerous places."

"I see... no, that's enough now. Instead, you don't know anything more."

"Hehe, I guess. But it's not always a hopeful idea. I'm pretty sure they can think tactically about action, right? It's about time we got a little bit of NASA on the side. Then the unknown weapon must feel very threatened from them. We won't be taking any major action until we can take action."

"It's a precaution... if it's taken, it's hard..."

"You won't have to worry too much about that. At least the people on the ground, but it won't be possible to independently knit measures against the ECM. EMP wouldn't talk about it."

"Oh, yeah?

"Ah. This EMP from a nuclear warhead comes from radiation-derived electromagnetic waves. Measures related to this would be possible by applying information taken from NASA and the functionality of the device. Except how many years ahead."

"Well, there are nuclear weapons and power plants. Have you taken care of the EMP for the parts or anything you're using there?"

"You will. I have to make it a physical problem, but let's put that away. More problematic for them is the ECM for the onboard aircraft. You know what ECM flies instead of radiation or electromagnetic waves?

"Well, I have a mechanical maniac in me and a daughter of the machine itself. The ECM............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Well, I certainly can't."

"That's the thing. That's an ECM using drive particles. There are no other ECM devices that utilize drive particles on the planet Newk than what we have. Inventing it ourselves would take, well, thousands to tens of thousands of years."

"That means that in the future, as long as we bring the ECM generator, we even pay attention to handling it?

"Hmm, the outlook for the future planet Newk will be bright. tank squad of attacks and the ECM of defense. If we run these two pillars well, we will soon determine the dominance of mankind."

When Phantom said so, he raised his eyebrows as he pointed to the ground with his thumb.

"However, both ECM and tanks are effective only in a wide area. The NASA people will be asked to move their future living areas to the ground."
