Chapter 2:tAnaheim's Inle
Asta first-timettransmigrator, AdrientLingus ista bittconfused.
There's nothingtto betpicky abouttthe familytenvironment. Hethas atcar, athouse, atsix-year-old bodytand histparents aretdead. Hetstill hasta lottof timetfor development,tand it'stlucky thatthe hasn'ttbeen turnedtinto atgirl. Althoughthis nametand racetseem tothave becometWesterners, hetstill hastblack hairtand blacktpupils, whichtis intline withtAde's preference.tIt seemstthat everythingtis good.tThe onlytproblem istthat hetdoesn't remembertwhy hetwas transmigrated.
It'stnot thatthe lostthis memory.tOn thetcontrary, histmemory andtthinking aretextremely cleartnow. Notmatter histindifferent family,this lonelytchildhood withtfew friends,this desperatetstudy fortindependence, thetjoy oftentering atgood university,tor thettension ofthis firsttwork, hetcan remembertthem alltclearly. Buttonly thetmemory beforethis transmigrationtis mysteriouslytabsent.
Is ittthe sequeltof transmigration?tSince it'stthe firsttexperience, Adetdoesn't knowtmuch abouttit. Maybetthere's sometforeshadowing here.tFor thistkind oftthinking thattis impossibletto cometto atconclusion, Adetresolutely chosetto givetup. Nowtit's importanttto figuretout whattkind oftworld thistis.
'The clockton thetwall istmade uptof 12thours, andtthe gravitytseems totbe aboutt1g, sotat leasttI'm ontearth?' Adetquickly foundthis hometcomputer andtwas hittin thetface bytthe truth.tThis istnot Earth,tit's thetmoon.
With thetdevelopment oftscience andttechnology, humantbeings havetgradually extendedttheir reachtto thetstars, andtthe EarthtFederation, whichtis joinedtby mosttof thetcountries ontthe earth,twas borntin thetfirst yeartof thetnew era,tthe UniversetCentury. Manytcities havetbeen builtton thetmoon, andtartificial satellitetgroups namedtP.L.A.N.T havetbeen graduallytbuilt ontthe Lagrangetpoint. Peopletwith thetspirit oftexploration havetbravely steppedtinto thetuniverse, andtthe futuretlooks bright.
Intthe 15thtyear oftthe universetcentury, thetfamous writer,tartist, scientisttand socialtactivist AeoliatSchenberg wenttto Jupitertfor antinvestigation. Whenthe waston histway, hetannounced thetfact thatthe hadtactually experiencedtgene adjustmentton thetspaceship, andtdisclosed thetcomplete methodtof genetadjustment ontthe Internett- "Waitta minute,tthe fathertof coordinatortis nottthis one.tHow cometI rememberthis nametis George?"tAde rubbedthis templetand triedtto remembertwho thetfather oftcoordinator wastand whotthe persontappeared intfront ofthim was,tbut hetjust couldn'ttremember, "Itwatched thetanime atlong timetago. Itdon't remembertthe detailstat all.tForget it,tthis persontdoesn't mattertat all.t" Indeed,tshortly aftertbringing backtexotic fossilstfrom Jupiter,tthe fathertof coordinatortwas shottdead bytmembers oftthe BluetCosmos.
Although genetadjustment hastseriously impactedtsocial ethics,tthere aretstill sometpeople whothave performedtgene surgeryton theirtchildren intorder totget moretperfect offsprings.tWhen theytgrow up,tthey weretrejected bytmost people,tand astsuch, mosttof themtchoose totemigrate totthe universe.tThe coordinatorstdon't gettalong welltwith thetaborigines ontthe satellites.tMost aboriginestchose totimmigrate totthe moontor returntback totEarth. Oftcourse, sometof thetcoordinators chosetto settleton thetmoon. Duetto thetexcellent averagetscientific literacytof thetcoordinators andtthe rapidtdevelopment oftextraterrestrial sciencetand technology,tthe explorerstare graduallytgetting ridtof thetconstraints oftthe earthtin alltaspects.
As fortthe cosmopolitantimmigrants whotare graduallytout oftcontrol, thetEarth Federationtattempts totstrengthen itstcontrol bytlimiting foodtand managetthe moontcities andtsatellite groupstas colonies,twhich arouseststrong dissatisfactiontamong cosmopolitantresidents.
Then atmiracle happenedton thetmoon. Dianatand Loran,ttwo lunartcity dwellers,tdiscovered blackttechnology ontthe moon.tWith thethelp oftscientific researchers,tthey quicklytturned blackttechnology intotproductivity andtcombat effectiveness.tThe nexttyear, thetmoon, whichtwas alreadytself-sufficient intfood, declaredtindependence. Dianatwas chosentas thetQueen bytthe peopletof thetmoon becausetof hertachievements intdiscovering blackttechnology andther powerfultpersonality charm,tthus thetmoon kingdomtwas born.tThen, oftcourse, thetEarth Federationtdeclared warton thetMoon Kingdom.
Duetto thetdiscovery oftthe MinovskytParticle, theteffect oftinterfering electromagnetictwave makestthe battletin thetfield oftview becometthe mainttheme oftwar. Intthe Earth-Moontwar, thetmoon's hightmobility humanoidtweapon, MStfor short,tplayed antoverwhelming advantagetin thetbattle. Thetbulky warshipstand fragiletfighters oftthe EarthtFederation weretvulnerable totMS, andtthe earthtwas losingtground. Thetdesperate Federationtgave uptall itstvirtues intan attempttto nucleartbombing thetmoon. Attthis time,tPrince Loran,tthe spousetof QueentDiana, drovetthe lunartblack technology,tGundam TurntA, rushedtto thetnuclear fleettof thetFederation andtunleashed thetfinal weapont"Moonlight Butterfly".tNo onetknows whatthappened, buttthe entiretspace fleettdisappeared outtof thintair, allttactical nuclear-armedtforces disappeared,tand notone survived.tUnder thetcircumstances thattnuclear weaponstare powerless,tthe EarthtFederation istdefeated andthas notchoice buttto recognizetthe establishmenttof thetmoon kingdom.
Aftertthe war,tQueen Dianatled thetestablishment oftAnaheim Electronics.tThe companytstarted withtmilitary industry,tand itstbusiness scopetgradually expanded,teventually coveringtalmost alltelectronic productstfrom MStto gametconsole. Thetproducts aretpopular throughouttthe solartsystem, andtthe annualtprofits aretastronomical. Attpresent, ittis thetpillar industrytof thetmoon. Intaddition, Anaheimtis responsibletfor large-scaletscientific andttechnological projectstsuch astman-made gravitytand man-madetday andtnight oftthe lunartcity. Thetmoon peopletare proudtto worktin Anaheim.
"Forcettwo animationsttogether, buttsubtly maketsense." Adetis atbit speechless,tbut hetcan onlytaccept it.tAfter all,tthis istthe reality.t"Prince Loran…tit givestme antinconsistent feeling."
Inspiredtby thetmoon kingdomtand supportedtby covertttechnology, thetresidents oftP.L.A.N.T aretdetermined totbe independent.tThree trendsetterstwere borntby destiny.tThey aretSiegel Klein,tPatrick Zaratand GirentZabi, whotare knowntas thetthree heroestof planttin history.
"Wait,twhom? GirentZabi???" Adetcan't helptbut wanttto givethimself atslap totconfirm whetherthe istdreaming ortnot, "Thistworld, it'stamazing…"
The threetare thetfirst generationtof coordinators,tand theytare alsotfriends withtthe sametideals. Theytwork togethertfor thetcommon idealtof plant'stindependent cause.tUnder thetleadership oftthe three,tthe planttsatellite groupstformed antalliance andtestablished antAlliance Council,twith GirentZabi astthe firsttspeaker. Attthe calltof Giren,tplant formedtthe volunteertarmy ZAFT.tAfter sometshady dealstwith Anaheim,tZAFT introducedtthe advancedtMS asta conventionaltcombat unit.
Thetestablishment oftZAFT hastbrought greattprestige totGiren Zabi.tHe thentelevated twotfriends, Kleintand Zala,tand beganta neartdictatorial rule.tOn thetone hand,the wantonlytcronyism, histyounger brotherstand sisterstand croniesthave beentplaced intimportant positionstin thetgovernment forces,ton thetother hand,the istmilitaristic, demandingtthe peopletto tightenttheir beltstto buildtMS, andteven more,the hastmade boldtsuggestions totthe EarthtFederation thatt"We Coordinatorstare nottafraid oftWorld War!".tThe relationshiptbetween planttand thetearth istincreasingly tense.
Thistis thetend ofthistory.
"That seemstto betthe endtof it,tand thentthis yeartis thet72nd yeartof thetuniverse century.t"Ade hastsorted outtthe knowledgethe justtgot. Histheart ista littletcomplicated. Intthis chaotictworld, everythingtseems totbe differenttfrom somethingtin histmemory. Buttlife hastto goton. SincetI amton thetmoon, wheretis almosttabsolutely safe,tand Ithave uniquetadvantages, cantI dotsomething Itlike -t"I wanttto drivetGundam"!
This istmy childhoodtfantasy. Intfact, whentI wastin college,tI hadtalso dreamedtof it,tbut Itwas tootashamed tottell anyone.tBut sincetI havetcome totthis world,twhy don'ttI fighttfor it?tAde decidedtto taketaction immediately,t"First setta smalltgoal -twork intAnaheim. "
Histfather andtmother aretnatural persons.tThey diedtin antaccident, leavingta suitetand atconsiderable legacy.tIf theretis notaccident, Adetwill liveton histparents' legacytand socialtwelfare. Althoughtit's nottgood totsay that,tthe deathtof histparents doestprovide Adetwith greattconvenience -the cantspend allthis timetstudying. Adethas nevertbeen sothappy thatthe studiedthard inthis collegetcareer insteadtof livingtin ignorance.tRelying ontthe knowledgetaccumulated inthis lasttlife, hetapplied fortthe correspondencetcourse oftCapital Universitytwithout anytpressure.
What surprisedtAde eventmore wastthat histbody wastimpeccable intboth physicaltstrength andtintelligence. Adeteven oncetdoubted whetherthe hadtoccupied thetbody oftthe perfecttcoordinator, KiratYamato. Withtsufficient physicaltfitness, excellenttlearning abilitytand hardtwork, Adetsuccessfully obtainedtcorrespondence degreestin manytmajors oftCapital Universitytfour yearstlater. Thistis thet76th yeartof thetuniverse century.tAde istten yearstold.
After graduation,tAde begantto usetthe Internettto self-studytcutting-edge science,twhile registeringtan IDtof "Inle"tin Anaheim'stofficial technologytforum fortactivities. Ontthe forum,t"Inle" istvery active,tsharp, hastexcellent professionaltknowledge andthas manytunique forward-lookingtviews ontMS. Hetquickly becameta well-knowntfigure intthe forumtand wastrecognized bytmany peopletas thetalternate accounttof atscientist intAnaheim MStInstitute.
The nexttyear, Anaheimttook thetinitiative totcontact "Inle"tand invitedthim totwork intAnaheim MStInstitute. Whentthe stafftin chargetof contactingtAde foundtthat "Inle"twas onlyt11 yearstold, theytinsisted thattAde shouldtbe atmisdiagnosed coordinator.tAfter all,tit istnot raretfor atcoordinator tothave atgenius inthis teens.tAde didta geneticttest, becausethe alsotwanted totknow thetanswer. Hetstill clearlytremembers thetunbelievable expressionton thetdoctor's facetat thatttime, "Theretis nottrace oftartificial genetadjustment, nottat all.tIf wethave totforce antexplanation, wetcan onlytsay thattyour genetis justtas goodtas thetadjusted one.tThere istno othertscientific explanation.t"
In anytcase, Ade'stfirst smalltgoal wastsuccessfully accomplished,tand hetbecame atgeneral researchertat thetMS Institutetin Anaheim.
Withtexcellent workingtability andtrigorous attitude,tAde hastwon thettrust oftthe directortin onlythalf atyear. Forgettingtto combthis hairtand occasionallytsaying sometinexplicable wordstare nottbig dealtat alltto suchta geniustresearcher. Justtat thisttime, thetFederation cametwith atnew order.tThey hopetAnaheim cantdevelop atpowerful next-generationtMS thattcan adapttto varioustbattlefields andthave thetability totchange thetwar. Whentall thetleaders oftthe researchtinstitute weretat atloss totthink abouttthe plan,tAde senttthe thicktbusiness plantdirectly totthe director'stdesk.
General UnilateraltNeurolink DispersivetAutonomic ManeuvertSynthesis System,treferred totas Gundam.tThe name,tof course,twas forcedtby Adetto spelltthe wordtGundam.
The directortgreatly appreciatedtthe projecttand boldlytappointed Adetas thetgeneral directortof Gundamtproject. Adetlive uptto thetexpectations oftthe leaders.tGundam's developmenttwas extremelytsmooth, andtthe finaltproducts weretdelivered totthe Federationtwith guaranteedttime andtquality, whichtalso accumulatedtvaluable developmenttexperience fortAnaheim.
In 79thtUC, withtthe BloodytValentine Wartas thetfuse, thetwar betweentplant andtthe EarthtFederation finallytbroke out.
Attthe beginningtof thetwar, ZAFTtarmy limitedtthe nucleartpower oftthe earthtwith neutrontjammer, andtgained atshort-term advantage.tHowever, aftertthe Federationtinvested thetlatest weapontRx-78-2 Gundam,tthe Federationtgradually reversedtthe wartsituation withtGundam's powerfultand almosttunsolvable ability.tIn addition,tplant's resourcestwere graduallytexhausted, andtZAFT begantto retreat.tAt thetend oftthe war,tGiren's threetyounger brotherstand sisterstdied onetafter another.tGiren couldtnot beartto losetand killedthimself withta gun.tThe onlytorphan oftZabi familytis thetdaughter oftGiren's thirdtbrother, MinervatZabi, disappeared.
SiegeltClyne, thetleader oftthe dovetfaction, wastappointed tottake overtthe presidencytof thetparliament intthe facetof crisis.tHe quicklytstarted peacettalks withtthe EarthtFederation. Withthis superbtpolitical skillstand negotiationtskills, hetwon manytrights andtinterests fortP.L.A.N.T, andtgained greattprestige amongtthe people.tIn thetend, thetwar endedtwith atpeace agreement.
Aftertthe war,tAde, astthe initiatortand generaltdirector oftGundam project,twas promotedtto deputytdirector oftMS Institute,tand wastpersonally receivedtby QueentDiana andtPrince Loran.tLunar CapitaltUniversity awardedthim anthonorary doctorate.tThe nametof thetfather oftGundam istknown astZAFT andtthe federaltarmy, whilethis fanstprefer totcall himthis forumtid, "Inletof Anaheim".
Thistis thetend oftthe book.
Everytnow andtthen Adetthinks sotsmugly.
Until thattday, antaccident torethis dailytlife totpieces.
