Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 1786: Black Box with Battleship

Hearing Lin Youde say that he was interested in gossip, Xia Qia immediately turned to the record on the back of this page and introduced it.

"Since you are interested, let me tell you the origin of this black box."

"This black box was found in a secret place by the former Free Federation in 2255 AD, before the Great Destruction."

"It is said that the enemies in that secret realm are very powerful. The Free Federation lost several Black Box Demons and Gatas. It paid a heavy price to wipe out the enemies in the secret realm."

"But because of the great destruction, many things of the Free Federation were also lost."

"After the great destruction, the remaining members of the Free Federation decided to abandon Earth because they were disgusted with the dilapidated state of the Earth and go to live in the Cradle of the Moon."

"At that time, the Free Federation completely collapsed and split into several factions. This black box was brought here by those who chose to join the Earth Federation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Youde asked, "When this black box was unearthed, were there other black boxes unearthed together with it?"

Xia Qiya was a little surprised: "Were the other black boxes unearthed together?"

Lei Mengmeng glanced at Lin Youde, seemed to understand what Lin Youde meant, and added.

"Yeah, normally there wouldn't be only one black box unearthed in a secret realm, right?"

"The more difficult it is to clear a secret realm, the greater the rewards you can get from it."

"This black box can't respond to the machine fighters to extract the machine inside, so are the other black boxes also unable to do so? It's impossible that the Free Federation has worked so hard and got nothing, right?"

In response, Shakia glanced at the instructions on the page and sweat broke out on his forehead.

“This, I really didn’t get anything.”

"what?"

Seeing that Lei Mengmeng didn't believe it, Xia Jia could only hand the folder containing the information to Lei Mengmeng.

"If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself."

"The data stated that two black boxes were unearthed in that secret realm, but both black boxes could not be extracted. As a result, the person in charge of exploring this secret realm in the Free Federation was dismissed from his post."

After taking a look, Lei Mengmeng frowned slightly and handed it to Lin Youde.

Lin Youde looked through the records and found that things were exactly as Xia Qia said.

What Xia Qia didn't say was that the person in charge who was dismissed was Ishimaru Hiroya, a mid-level general of the Free Federation who had met Lin Youde once.

However, unlike the major rank seen in the True Super Robot Competition that year, the rank of Ishimaru Hiroya recorded in the information has reached colonel.

Even the Demon God Caesar that he was driving was severely damaged during this exploration of the secret realm, and he himself was also seriously injured before he completed it.

Although this world has not explored the field of BGM, the value of Demon God Caesar will not decrease.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ishimaru Hiroya should be driving the original Demon Caesar that he drove in the True Super Robot Contest.

Without the BGM field and a series of amplifications such as photon power and demon power, even if Du Jianlong himself drove the Mazinger Z, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat it.

Although the original demon god Caesar does not have any weird things, the basic numbers are there. A numerical monster without any external plug-ins can crush most machines.

But even such a numerical monster was severely damaged in the secret realm. The water here is quite deep.

Moreover, in a secret realm with a high difficulty level that could severely damage the original demon god Caesar, only two black boxes appeared, one of which was the unknown ferocious bird XXX. The remaining one was probably the bulk of the reward.

"Do you know the information about the other black box?"

Lin Youde looked through the file and found nothing on it about what the other black box was.

But Shakya replied: "I really know this."

In Lin Youde's expectation, Xia Qiya recalled: "I remember that when I was looking at the archives before, I was also interested in another black box that could not be extracted, so I asked the old man about it."

"The old man said that he had asked some of the survivors who are now dead but are still alive because he was bored."

"According to the survivors, the other black box was printed with what appeared to be a battleship."

"Because it was the first black box with a battleship printed on it. It made the people of the Free Federation excited for a long time, but also regretful for a long time. So even though those guys were dying, they still remembered it."

"The old man also said that if we had a real black box battleship back then, the battle situation might have been different."

Xia Qiya's words made Lei Mengmeng look at Lin Youde, who was in deep thought.

"If what Shakia said is true, then the battleship in the other black box is very interesting."

"If this black box is the Fierce Bird EX, then could the other black box contain the third Space Noah-class battleship in the OG series, the Black Gold? No, even if it's the Platinum, it's pretty impressive."

"And this is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that if the black box contains the Fierce Bird 30th, then the battleship in the other black box is most likely the original battleship Dressrega from Super Robot Wars 30."

"Whether it's the Platinum, the Black Gold, or the Drestrega, they are all 2000-meter-long Space Noah-class battleships."

"This is a good thing, we must get our hands on it!"

Thinking of this, Lin Youde asked, "So, the other black box was taken to the Moon Cradle by the people of the Free Federation?"

Xia Qiya nodded slightly: "Probably, I'm not too sure."

Lin Youde stroked his chin and said to himself, "It seems that it is necessary to go to the Moon Cradle."

These words were said deliberately for Xia Qiya to hear. Upon hearing these words, Xia Qiya's eyes flashed with a strange look and he asked.

"Mr. Lin Youde, are you going to the Moon Cradle and take back the black box?"

Lin Youde waved his hand: "Don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by robbing? That thing is useless to the Moon Cradle, right?"

"I just want to go talk to the people at Mooncradle and hope they can give me these old things."

"I believe they will understand the nostalgia of a centenarian."

There was a flash of disappointment in Shakya's eyes, but soon his eyelids twitched and he asked.

"What if they don't want to?"

Lin Youde smiled, said nothing, and looked at the list again.

"This is... eh? ν Gundam (Gundam Bull)!?"

Seeing Lin Youde change the subject, Xia Qiya's facial muscles stiffened, but his expression did not change much as he replied.

"Yes, ν Gundam. I heard from the old man that this was your former private machine."

"For some reason, this machine escaped the great destruction that year and has survived until now, becoming one of the old man's treasures."

"Mr. Lin Youde, are you interested in this machine?"

Lin Youde touched his chin and replied, "I guess so. Since this machine was once mine, it should be okay for me to take it back now, right?"

"It just so happens that the God Gundam is not yet completed, so it's a good idea to use the ν Gundam temporarily. It will save us from having no machines to use in space."
