Immortal Soul of Steel

Facing everyone's gaze, there were also the puzzled expressions of Catalina, Siegfried, Cecilia, and Raul who had already walked out of the medical room.

Lin Youde stood next to the captain's seat on the bridge, looking deeply at the starry sky outside the bridge under the curious eyes of Lefina and Sanye.

"Even I don't dare to make a conclusion on whether the black box body, or every mobile weapon, has a soul."

"But as far as what is known so far, the soul of the original pilot or part of the consciousness left by the original pilot generally exists in the black box body."

"From the perspective of the black box body, it is not wrong to regard the soul and consciousness of the original pilot as the soul of the body."

"As long as it is recognized by the soul or consciousness of the original pilot in the black box body, it will basically be recognized by the body."

"So from this perspective, it is actually reasonable to think that the body has a soul, and it has a certain scientific basis."

"But I personally believe that even if it is not a black box body, every mobile weapon actually has its own soul."

"Although I am the highest-level new human being known so far, I have not experienced any soul fluctuations or consciousness fluctuations displayed by mobile weapons that are not black box bodies."

"But as a Gundam pilot, I have indeed experienced that the aircraft sometimes explodes with power and tenacity that far exceeds the theoretical value at critical moments."

"This effort and tenacity, which far exceeds the theoretical value, can often save a pilot's life in a crisis."

"With this kind of data that cannot be determined, I am not willing to use simple cold numbers to calculate probabilities."

"I'm more inclined to think that it was the aircraft's effort to protect its pilots."

"This is my "Soul of Steel" theory that every machine has its own soul. "

"Although this theoretical doctrine is more inclined to a legend made of fantasy than a rigorous scientific research doctrine."

"But... in this kind of world, what's wrong with having more fantasies?"

"After all, who can deny that mobile weapons must have no soul of their own?"

"In my opinion, as long as you believe that the organism has its own soul, then it has a soul."

"Don't forget, in the world we know, magic does exist, it's just that we don't have control of it."

"Since magic exists, who can say for sure that it does not exist if it cannot be explained by our current technology."

"Although I don't understand magic, I think magic is just something that is manifested by a certain idea in the heart relying on a certain power."

"Therefore, even if I don't know magic, I still think that mobile weapons have their own soul."

"The heart that believes is my magic."

"Whether it exists or not, I want to believe that it exists, and that's enough."

Lin Youde's long speech made everyone look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Because as Lin Youde said, this kind of thing that has no theoretical basis at all and relies entirely on conjecture is difficult to convince.

But no matter how outrageous this fantasy was, Ni Xingxing, a fan of robot animation, was moved to tears.

"Well said, you are virtuous, and you are worthy of being my gay friend. You spoke to my heart."

"After watching robot animations for so many years, who doesn't have some unrealistic fantasies in their hearts?"

"Robots don't have souls? It doesn't matter, we just believe it."

"The heart that believes is our magic."

"I want to publish this sentence to all robot enthusiasts forums."

"The Soul of Steel is the magic for us robot enthusiasts!"

Looking at Ni Xingxing, who was so moved that he burst into tears, geniuses such as Lei Mengmeng, Lei Meng, and Ladis, who are rationalists, looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

If it were another person, all of them would start complaining.

It has no theoretical basis at all. Isn’t it just a wild fantasy?

But it happened that the man who said this was Lei Mengmeng and Lei Meng's man, Leidis' close friend, Lin Youde, a genius scientist who developed epoch-making BGM fields, evolution, spiritual commands and other unscientific things.

Faced with this genius who kept coming up with unscientific things, they, geniuses in the conventional sense, wanted to question it but did not dare.

Because none of them can guarantee whether Lin Youde will actually turn this fantasy into reality one day.

They didn't know about others, but they really couldn't guarantee Lin Youde, who had repeatedly performed miracles.

In the silence of everyone, Catalina came to Lin Youde and responded firmly.

"Teacher, I believe it!"

"Because I was in the Kraken's body before, and I really felt it."

"In addition to the original pilot of the Kraken, the Kraken has indeed responded to my feelings."

"I was able to defeat that dimensional beast general, and there is a siren willing to respond to my share of the credit."

"So, I think the teacher's theory is right. The body does have its own soul, the soul of steel, it does exist!"

Lin Youde looked at Catalina with relief and chuckled: "That's right, that's good."

Lamia on the side put her hand on her chest and recalled with a face: "I seem to...also believe that the soul of steel exists."

"Because I was shot down before when I was completely unable to resist, and the cockpit was hit hard."

"But I still survived."

"Originally, I thought it was just my luck."

"But now it seems that maybe the Archangel protected me."

In the stunned and speechless expressions of everyone on the bridge, Lin Youde looked at the blue planet outside Feilong Kai and said firmly.

"No matter what others think or think, I always want to believe that the body has its own soul."

"Because I was responded to by Gundam more than once."

"So, no matter what others think, I will believe that mobile weapons have souls, and Gundams have souls."

"I will always believe in it. The heart that believes is my magic."

Lin Youde looked at the azure blue star, or the earth, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

‘In the eyes of others, maybe my remarks are just mindless fantasies, right? But let’s just fantasize. ’

‘For me, this world is a world that only exists in fantasy. ’

‘Now that you have traveled to this world that originally only existed in fantasy, why not boldly imagine it? ’

‘Every mecha fan has a mecha dream in his heart, and a steel soul that belongs only to him. ’

‘Even something as outrageous as time travel has happened, so what else is impossible? ’

‘So, let me fantasize as much as I want. ’

'Who told me...I was once a child who liked to dream...'

…

In Feilong Kai's Gnaku, the pupils of the new Strike Freedom Gundam, which had been shut down, suddenly lit up, but no one noticed.

…

Nergal (NERGAL) Heavy Industries, Lunar Branch, Caesar's Gnaku.

The eyes of the Unicorn Gundam, which had stopped functioning, suddenly flickered.

Banagher, who was mopping the floor not far away, seemed to feel something and looked back at the stationary Unicorn Gundam.

"unicorn!?"

…

In the military helipad in the Silla Alliance, Lunar City, Copernicus.

The eyes of the disabled F91 Gundam suddenly flickered.

Sibu Ke, who had just gotten off the F91 Gundam, suddenly looked back at his own body, scratched his head, and looked confused.

…

Somewhere on the surface of the moon.

On the five transport vehicles with different directions, the originally dim pupils of the Gundam covered by optical camouflage suddenly flickered.

In the cockpit of one of the transport vehicles, Hero, who was holding the steering wheel, suddenly looked back at the rearview mirror, lowered his head slightly and blinked, then raised his head again and looked forward.

…

Free Federation·A certain colonial satellite.

In a deserted warehouse, the eyes of a V2 Gundam suddenly flickered.

Below the V2 Gundam, Hu Suo, who was looking at something on a console, suddenly looked back at his V2 Gundam and scratched his hair in confusion.

When Hamtaro next to Hu Suo saw this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Hu Suo, what's wrong?"

Hu Suo turned around from his V2 Gundam: "No, it's nothing."

Hamtaro glanced at the V2 Gundam in confusion, and looked back at Hu Suo with a puzzled expression.

…

Silla Alliance, the underground hangar of the Massenas family villa.

The eyes of the banshee, which was parked quietly on the fixed frame, suddenly flickered.

In the lounge on the second floor of the hangar, Riddy Mathenas, who was watching the Banshee adjusting the data table, suddenly looked at the Banshee, opened the window in confusion, and looked at the Banshee on the fixed frame, his eyes full of doubts. .

…

Human Innovation and Integration·Lin Research Institute

In the deserted Gnaku, the dim pupils of the Infinite Justice Gundam and Destiny Gundam R, which had been shut down, suddenly flickered.

In another hangar, the unpiloted Leiting turned his head unconsciously and looked at the hangar where the Infinite Justice Gundam and the Destiny Gundam R were located.

…

In an exhibition hall funded and built by the Human Innovation and Integration Wang Foundation.

The eyes of the original Gundam, which had been sealed in a glass cabinet without any energy supply, suddenly lit up.

This caused Iori Cheng, who was about to hold up his mobile phone to take a photo, to be stunned, rubbed his eyes, and muttered.

"Did I see it wrong? Yuanzu Gundam's eyes just lit up?"

"But isn't this machine that Mr. Amuro Ray flew as an exhibit already said to have no energy supply?"

On the second floor of the same exhibition hall, a young man with short dark blue hair was lying on the railing, looking at the original Gundam in the center of the exhibition hall in astonishment, and said the same thing as Iori Makoto on the first floor.

"Did I see it wrong? Did the eyes of Yuan Zu Gundam light up?"

Behind him, not far away, a girl with short flaxen hair came over with two bottles of Coke and looked at the boy doubtfully: "Yuuto, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

The young man named Yuuto looked at his childhood sweetheart behind him in astonishment: "Hinata, just now, the eyes of the original Gundam seemed to light up."

The girl named Hinata looked stunned: "Huh? The eyes of the Original Gundam lit up? Is this Original Gundam powered on?"

A staff member passed by the two of them and burst into laughter when he heard what they said.

"What are you thinking about, little brother and little sister, although our original Gundam is the real one that was driven by the famous Dr. Lin Youde, the strongest new human being, Amuro Ray, and fought in our city. .”

"But for safety's sake, the energy core of the Original Gundam has been removed."

"The current Original Gundam is an empty shell. It cannot move and has no power."

The staff member walked away with a smile, and Hinata looked at her childhood sweetheart in confusion.

Yuuto, on the other hand, looked at the original Gundam in trance: "But, I did see it..."

Hinata's face was full of worry: "Yuto, did you not sleep well last night, so did you hallucinate?"

"In fact, ever since the Gunpla Model Battle System was announced by the Wang Foundation and said it would be available for trial today, you have been so excited that you couldn't sleep a wink for two days, right?"

"I think you should really go have a good sleep."

Yuuto scratched his head, glanced at the unresponsive Yuanzu Gundam, and said, "Well, then I'll go back to the hotel and get some sleep first."

Hinata smiled sweetly: "Well, I'll see you in the afternoon. I'll wake you up and go to the trial exhibition of Gunpla Model Battle with you!"

Yuuto nodded slightly: "Well, then I'll trouble you."

Looking back at the Original Gundam, Yuuto was stuffed with a cup of Coke by Hinata and dragged to other places in the exhibition hall...
