Chapter 9 The Cloud Is Crying

The atmosphere became somewhat subdued after Lin Yeming spoke.

Everyone knew he disagreed with making personal contact, so they weren't sure if this operation was permissible.

Just when things were getting a little awkward, Lin Yeming spoke up, saying, "Horie probably won't be able to handle this for a while."

He turned to Dr. Mizuno and asked, "Dr. Mizuno, what are your functional requirements for the detection device?"

Dr. Mizuno was stunned and stared blankly at Lin Yeming.

Lin Yeming had no choice but to be direct, saying, "We have enough time, so we can assume that the device is usable for now. Then you'll need to determine the corresponding functions."

"However, it's best not to have too high expectations."

His assistant tugged at his sleeve, and he realized what was happening. His face lit up with joy, and after a moment's thought, he said, "We need some analytical skills, preferably the ability to scan objects and a certain level of photographic capability."

"In that case, I'll add one more feature: the ability to record sound."

"Hmm... let's implement this feature first."

Megumi picked up the communicator from her waist and notified Horii: "I'll notify Horii."

"clear."

After that, we finalized the next course of action.

We await Horii's research and development.

Soon Horii arrived with his invention.

The sound recording and satellite signal delivery requested by Lin Yeming were completed, and the system also has a recovery function.

Munakata gave the order directly: "Daigo, you and Horii will pilot the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 together."

"Be careful and keep your distance."

"Yes!"

Daigo and Horii took their helmets and went outside, while the others stayed on site to observe the equipment's performance.

A moment later, Daigo's report came from the command room.

"Captain, we have reached the designated location, about one kilometer away from the cloud cluster."

"Shall we begin the test?"

Megumi Kijima: "Start the test!"

Just then, Horii's voice came over.

"Ready for the test."

"Code name: Divine Eye, activate."

A monitoring device slowly flew into that cloud.

Ye Rui provided real-time feedback: "Signal connection successful."

"Signal status is good."

Lin Yeming picked up the microphone and said, "Team member Horii, have Shenyan search within a hundred meters of us and start recording the system for five minutes."

"Roger that!"

Horii shouted and quickly got to work.

Recording has started.

"Countdown, five minutes."

Seeing this, Lin Yeming greeted them and turned to leave the command room.

The tense atmosphere eased after Lin Yeming left.

"Dr. Mizuno, who is this Dr. Hayashi? How can he command the GUTS team?"

A blond, fair-skinned assistant standing next to Dr. Mizuno asked in a low voice.

Although the two tried to cover their voices, they were still overheard by Megumi.

She smiled and said, "Dr. Mizuno, I forgot to introduce you."

"That person just now is the newly established department head of the Victory team, directly under Director Sawai."

Megumi nodded slightly; she knew that Mizuno must understand the importance of this department.

Even if he's the only one in this department.

Lin Yeming came out at this time not only because the atmosphere was rather awkward, but also because he needed to retrieve the translator, which Horii had already rushed to make yesterday.

It was delivered to him immediately.

When he returned, Horii also came back with the Divine Eye.

"Dr. Lin, this satellite signal is indeed feasible and very stable."

"Then let's play the recording."

Horii operates the equipment; click to play.

He adjusted the volume slightly and then played the sound.

Time passed minute by minute, but not a single sound came from God's eyes.

Just when Horii thought everything was foolproof, in the last ten seconds, a series of cries, similar to those of a baby, suddenly rang out.

Ye Rui quickly typed on the keyboard to perform voiceprint matching, and soon he frowned.

He had been paying close attention to him and noticed his meaning, asking:

"Ye Rui, what's wrong?"

"Captain, this sound, which sounds like a baby crying, doesn't come from any animal in the world."

Ye Rui displayed his match results on the main screen.

However, judging from the results, even the salamander and the cat, which sound similar, don't match.

At this moment, Dr. Mizuno was unusually excited.

He said that this was likely the same as his speculation.

It might be a creature called the Lightning Man.

That's their cry.

The only pity is that I can't understand its meaning.

Newtown asked, "Lightning Man?"

Dr. Mizuno suppressed his excitement and explained, "These are strange creatures. They live in the ionosphere and never descend to the ground."

"I reckon that black cloud is the Lightning Men's lair."

"If we could get access to it, we should be able to figure something out."

Lin Yeming remained silent, but in reality, he was checking the mission that had just been triggered.

This was the first task after the system change, and he focused his attention on it.

[You have triggered the mission: Second Contact!]

[Mission Objective: Under your guidance, we have made initial contact with the Lightning People. These people live in the ionosphere and have inexplicably descended from there. Please find out the reason and then make your choice.]

[Task requirements: None.]

[Mission Reward: One copy permission to access the Ultraman Tiga entry.]

Ok?

No conditions?

That means there are no rules or restrictions.

This is much more convenient.

But this reward...

Is the system still not letting Tiga off the hook?

Based on his memory, he knew it was a monster, so the only option he could make was to protect the scientists.

He had considered protecting the monsters, but Gazort's philosophy made it impossible to find common ground with humans while respecting differences.

So there's only one possible outcome...

"Dr. Lin?"

"PhD?"

Lin Yeming heard someone calling his name.

He came to his senses and took out the translator he had brought.

"Try using the modified pan-language translator."

"Oh, right, there's this too." Horii's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it, connecting it smoothly. "Connection successful."

"Begin translating."

Horii looked at the results and saw that what was displayed was not clear language, but emotion.

"This cloud is crying!"

Lin Yeming was taken aback when he heard this.

Wait a minute, according to the plot, shouldn't they be friends? Is it delicious?

However, this is because the other party has not yet devoured humans, so...

"This is because human electromagnetic waves have affected their survival."

"Please let us make contact with them, Captain Megumi."

"please!"

Dr. Mizuno stood up and led his team in bowing deeply.

"Dr. Lin, look..."

The group turned around and looked at Lin Yeming.

Even Horii made a request.

Lin Yeming knew that this action could no longer be stopped, and he thought about it.

"Proceed according to plan, with safety as the top priority."

"I'm counting on you, Dr. Mizuno and Team Member Horii."

Megumi printed out the features they had discussed earlier and handed them to Horii, saying, "The operation is settled. I'll leave it to Horii to add these features."

Horii took the form and said with a smile, "I already guessed these functions."

"I had already asked my good friend Ryosuke to help me develop it beforehand."

"Next comes assembly."

"It will be ready soon."
