Among the undulating waves, a laser communication equipment hidden on the seabed slowly floated out of the sea the moment it received the start-up command, gradually unfolded according to the expected procedures, and entered the self-test before starting up to conduct the upcoming laser communication.

Get ready.

Not far from this laser communication device, a freighter named Yingyong and its companion ship are slowly sailing at a low speed with the laser communication device as the center.

At this moment, in a secret cabin of the Heroic, several people were staring at the screen that was gradually lit up and the program self-test was opened.

"Ten minutes later, it will be time to contact General Kuwak. Is the communication device ready?"

Hasavi glanced at the gradually lit screen and looked at Mi Heixia.

As Mafti's intelligence and communications officer, Mi Heixia was also responsible for this laser communication.

"Well, although I've been in the sea for a while, there's no big problem. After all, the waterproofing measures are also done well."

Mi Heixia nodded and then gave a more accurate time.

"The laser communication device will take about three minutes to start."

Three minutes.

This is not long.

Instead, there is still some redundant time before the agreed communication time.

This result is acceptable to everyone.

"Lei Mingkai, you can take a little rest. After all, thank you for your hard work before."

Hasavi looked at Lei Mingkai who was standing aside.

In the following communication, in addition to having problems with General Kuwak, there is also something about Lei Mingkai.

I think it will not take too short.

After a fierce battle, Lei Mingkai returned from victory and still looked in good condition, but he still had to have necessary rest.

Lei Mingkai nodded, without rejecting Hassawi's kindness, turned around and sat down on the stool next to him, closing his eyes to rest.

He still needs to make some adjustments.

Because, this is the moment when Lei Mingkai faced the former Federation General in this world for the first time.

Hassavi and even Mafti believed in the existence of this stranger so much because General Kuwak, who was behind the scenes, gave affirmation and trust to Lei Mingkai's identity.

In other words, General Kuwak is probably the one who has encountered so far that Lei Mingkai is the one who knows the MS pilot of Lei Mingkai, the 77th Fleet.

"Didi..."

At the moment when all self-test programs are completed, the contact signal from the universe, which may be from a colonial satellite, was captured by a laser communication device.

“Contacted!”

After Mi Heixia quickly entered a series of commands on the keyboard with both hands, she raised her head and looked at Hassawi.

The latter looked at the people around him.

Among them is Hasavi's right-hand man Yinram.

Yinram understood Hassavi's gaze.

He clapped his hands and said.

"Okay. Leave the space for Mafti and Lei Mingkai now! Mi Heixia, you can follow us too!"

"Ah? Do I want it too?"

Mi Heixia was stunned for a moment.

As a communicationsperson, shouldn't you stay here?

Hasavi raised his hand and patted Mi Heixia on the shoulder.

"Don't worry! Mi Heixia, let me leave the next thing! This time, I'm very sorry!"

Hassawi spoke like this, and Mi Heixia had no choice but to accept it.

After Yinram left with Mi Heixia and others, only Hassawei and Lei Mingkai were left in the cabin, Hassawei turned his attention to Lei Mingkai.

He found that Lei Mingkai had already turned his attention here.

"Go to start! Mafty."

Lei Mingkai stood up and walked to Hassawi.

"Let me meet the big guy behind Mafty!"

Hassawi nodded, raised his hand and pressed the confirmation key on the keyboard.

The next second, the picture flashed, and a picture of the light that could only be seen clearly appeared in front of the two people.

Hassawi seemed very surprised when he saw this dim picture.

But before he could ask, he had already given the reason for Fan.

"Sorry! Mafty. The situation is special now. I am not in a colonial satellite, but in contact with you through some secret channels."

"General Kuwak. Could it be..."

Hasavi's head flashed with inspiration, and suddenly remembered the speculation he had thought of with Lei Mingkai before.

"Yes. It seems you have guessed it. It is worthy of being the son of Noah."

Kuwak's comment on Hassawi is very high.

"No. This is not something I can guess alone."

Hassawi is very modest.

"Yeah?"

Kuwak did not stick to this part, but breathed slowly.

"As you guessed, the federal executives are now undergoing a great purge from both inside and outside. You and I know the factors from outside. However, the factors from inside are something I never expected."

"Internal factors?"

Kuwak's statement made Hassawi and Lei Mingkai exchange glances.

It seems that there are indeed some drastic changes within the federal top leaders that Hassawi and Lei Mingkai could not expect in advance.

"Yes. Laplace's Box."

Immediately afterwards, Kuwak spit out a noun that surprised Hassawi and Lei Mingkai.

This is a federal taboo.

Since the birth of the Federation, it has been a taboo thing in the shadow of history.

Even though, in UC0096, the "sleeved" of the new Zeon remnants led by the current heir of Zabi's family, Minerva Laou Zabi, was once made public, but under the pressure of the federal government, this so-called taboo is still

Slowly sinking into the shadow of history and no longer known to the world.

Even though, the new concept of humanity, known to the world since the war, has been hyped up in the world, has gradually disappeared into the world as this taboo called "Box of Laplace" sank into the shadow of history.

.

Now, what is the purpose of General Kuwak, who retired from the federal general, who first funded and supported Mafti's establishment, once again expressed this historical taboo term?

Suddenly, a shiny light flashed in Lei Mingkai's eyes.

He thought of a possibility.

If there is still a huge force within the Federation that attacks at the right time and can succeed in one blow, I am afraid that the only family that is entangled with Laplace's Box, no,

The family that has been deeply rooted in the Earth Federation since its establishment, with huge branches that cannot be cleaned up.

Matheras!

"This is the backbone of our 77th Fleet, the last hero, Lieutenant Lei Mingkai, right?"

General Kuwak, opposite the screen, had already noticed Lei Mingkai's existence.

Just so happened that when he spoke out the taboo word Laplace's Box, he also noticed the change in the glare in Lei Mingkai's eyes.

"Yes! The 77th Fleet belongs to Lei Mingkai, and has met General Kuwak."

Lei Mingkai stood attentively and saluted, as if he was a federal soldier.

"Well. I'm not a gift. Now I'm just a retired old man! It's my limit to being able to give you some help."

Kuwak saw through it, but didn't point it out.

The Box of Laplace, even though it has sunk into the shadow of history.

But it is a secret that cannot be revealed directly from Hassawi and Lei Mingkai.

"Speaking of this, I also thank them for their care to talk to you."

"Are they? That family?"

Hassawi also thought of the Matheras family.

But this time, he guessed wrongly.
To be continued...
