Promixa Centauri Solar System wasn't anything fancy either. Two planets were circling a red dwarf.
One was a gas giant about Jupiter-sized and a tidally locked, barren world.
This tidally locked, barren world is the 'promised land' everyone on Earth has been talking about since the discovery of this Solar System.
Since it's closest to Sol and has a world in the green belt, it should be habitable, but a enormous gas giant is spinning nearby.
'Well, not close, it's actually on the opposite side. This planetary alignment could be the key… though it depends on how fast it's spinning.'
Marcus pondered on that for a bit before turning his mobile suit around and locating the Sol system in the distance. It was quite a distance away, in fact, it was wild to think that this was the previous location, it's so far…
Moments later, he activated TRANS-AM and gravity resonance to cause a 'Jump Space'.
With that done, he finished his scouting of Alpha Centauri.
Now he was excited! He might as well do this more often. Exploring Solar Systems sounds fun!
~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~
"So how does this Gravity particle work?" Billy asked Lloyd, the new nerdy scientist, who was catching up rapidly to the Imperial Technology.
"Gravity, or Graviton if you feel chunni, is something we discovered by accident. You see the precursor human race utilise sound to resonate with stones, amplifying it.
That is how the portal works. These people used the electromagnetism of our Earth to link it to yours via the Thought Accelerator. What I understand is that the Cosmic Tablet locates and allows bonding between two worlds.
The next part is the portal that opens a gateway, simply put, the sound is so loud that it rips the space apart and causes a manifestation of a gateway." Lloyd grinned as he saw the face of the fellow, glasses-wearing, mobile suit developer.
"...That…"
"Indeed, however, it's so loud that we can't hear it, and those limestones use specific acoustic properties to make the sound special and unique, meant for space ripping.
Now the gravity particle is similar; it was discovered by chance when His Majesty went through countless materials to determine what reacts to the gravity generated inside the Fusion Reactor.
That is where he found out that there was a mix of limestone and sakuradite that causes gravity to resonate with it.
After all, gravity is just a fancy name for a wave, and waves bounce, so we just found what bounces off of it." Lloyd shrugged nonchalantly.
"... That's dangerous! Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of the universe! It could easily rip apart something like the space station we are in!" Billy freaked out a bit.
"Precisely, but what you are looking at is a generation three Fusion Reactor, a perfected technology.
In fact, we are so good at it that mobile suits use this technology; the Gundam fusion reactors have four of these rods that resonate the gravity through them, it basically vibrates so hard it makes those particles."
"...I think you are oversimplifying so much that it sounds horrible, should it break apart if it vibrates so much?" Billy was freaking out once more.
But Lloyd raised his finger as if he knew he would say that!
"But that's the thing, it's gravity." The nerd summoned a hologram and showed him what's under the hood'.
"You see, we all know what happens when you add weight. It becomes a black hole, but what if we add friction to what doesn't have weight?
It creates something akin to the eye of a storm. Where everything is just peaceful, this is the graviton particle.
It's gravity, but in a neutral state. From here on, we can modify it however we want!" Lloyd explained to the fellow nerd.
"...You mean to say this is discovery by accident!? This technology looks as complex as GN technology!" Billy exclaimed with pure disbelief!
"What was discovered by accident was Resonance itself. But for this? His Majesty used his eyes to push this technology to the limit and discover a new plateau in science, and created a particle." The Earl of Pudding said clarified.
"... it's not true creation… It's like the tech beat up gravity so bad it regressed to this state," the Glasses guy replied with a strained smile.
"In a way, it is. But it's more like an abuse of fundamental forces of the universe."
"...that sounds even crazier… abusing the fabric of reality…" Billy shook his head. To come up with something like this, what is this power of Geass?
~~~~~~
Marcus returned to his workshop. It was already dark outside. By his estimation, he was away for around 8 hours, but Alpha Tiranis was showing that he was away for 7 hours.
"Different time flow." He commented as he scratched his chin. All of the data that Marcus gathered, he sent to the main legion of this world. Once the portal opens, he will do the same to the main Legion on his world as well.
"That reminds me, I need to check something."
The Emperor went to read about the expedition to Alpha Centauri on his world. It happened close to two years ago, and he still hasn't checked the report on that!
'Things we do for science.'
He sighed to himself, taking over the 00 world was more important than the project he had proposed in the first place.
'At least I will read it now.'
With that said, he checked the files.
His eyes skimmed through and checked the detail.
He began to compare notes.
'Damn… It's practically identical!'
"Legion, compare notes." The Gundam Maker issued a command.
[Comparing.]
Two holograms appeared side by side.
One was far less detailed; it was Marcus who did more of a scouting mission, unlike the proper expedition that happened in his reality.
[The details that I can compare show that these three solar systems look extremely similar. In fact, they could be considered identical to ours.]
'Interesting…'
"It would seem barely anything changed. Yet…"
The Inventor Emperor sighed as he knew what was different between his solar system and theirs.
For one, the Mass Relays, specific aliens that he knows inhabit his Galaxy.
He is a bit curious to see where differences end. Sort of an experiment to satiate his curiosity.
"Moh! You disappear for the whole day, then you appear as if nothing has happened!" Pink hair blocked his view as the familiar voice of Euphemia tickled his ears.
"Euphie, I was testing my new Tiranis." He sighed as his hands wrapped around her and pulled her into his lap properly.
"Travelling to Alpha Centauri, checking out other planets, so I forgot about time." He said, with a strained smile, that he often gets distracted by things he likes, which is especially obvious now that he is an Innovator.
"..."
Euphemia ended up facing him; she got comfortable, but there was a displeased look on her face.
"You went to a different Solar System? With just a mobile suit!?" She narrowed her eyes! Oh, she wanted to throw a fit! But this was her Lulu, so she is… conflicted to say the least.
"Don't worry, Tiranis is built to last." He tried to calm her, but the girl wasn't having it!
"You know that it's light-years away! And yet… ugh!!!" Euphemia then grabbed his shoulders and brought her face close to his.
"I am very angry! You will need to spoil me for me to forgive you, do you understand, my dear future husband~?" She said the last words with a seductive purr.
He knew there was only one way to make her forgive him.
"Understood, my lovely future wife." Marcus played along as he knew well enough not to make his 'pacifist' future wife angry.
"Good, we are going to have a lovely date, a walk on the beach, then maybe to see a movie or two, then of course we will explore the museums they have, and see some landmarks." All of a sudden, she began to name one thing after another, making the Gundam Making Emperor confused.
"...You could have visited many of those by yourself." He said with a confused tone.
"Don't be silly. I do not care about these things like that. I want to do this with you." Euphemia pushed her assets into his chest as she used her hand to stroke his chin. There was a satisfied smile on her face; she loved these moments and hoped they would last a long time.
"The most important thing is spending time together like that~." As pinkette said that she began to kiss him, she was in a good position, so why not do it?
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
A bit later, a couple of days after satiating Euphemia, Marcus went to see the first five warships that his military was building.
It's still in its very early stages, but he is utilising a bit of his robotic forces, as Anaheim is a major contractor in that regard.
He went with the same design that he saw in the anime. The designs were similar to the old Triremes.
It has six mobile suits that the military can store underneath it.
"What do you think, General Brigadier?" The Emperor said to Kati Mannequin, who came to see the ships.
"Not bad…" She replied, her gaze was on him for a bit more. Something was strange about him.
"I do have something extra, actual Capital ships." He motioned for her to follow. They were high in the Sky Pillar, which was an HRL tower used for space operations. The military converted the place into shipyards where work is progressing rapidly towards space exploration; among them, they are building a space fleet.
The Iron Lady followed as he took her to one of the offices, and he pulled up a carrier design capable of carrying close to fifteen mobile suits. Actual Union carriers inspired this particular design.
The design is similar, but instead of the sea, it will be in space.
So it's a long vessel and much wider than the trireme-like ship they are already building.
"Why the need for more ships? Are there enemies that we need to fight? Are you preparing for something like aliens?" She asked with a confused tone. The mobilisation he is doing is not making any sense to her.
"You are right…"
His agreeing to her wild speculation is baffling her!
"Let me share something about Celestial Being."
He summoned his holographic console while at the office table. He went through several things before he showed it to the General.
The Tactical Forecaster read through the files; it took a while, but Marcus waited for her, for precisely, he found her seriousness and sharpness were quite beautiful. Sadly, she is far too smart and not quite imperialistic like he is.
"So… and you believe this will happen?" She asked with an even deeper frown. For 'dialogues to come'? And the whole Innovator thing?
Honestly, she won't believe until—
Her train of thought stopped when she saw Marcus remove his contact lenses.
"I tested it out. And what you see is me being an Innovator." He crossed his arms and leaned into his chair. Thankfully, in this part of the pillar, they have gravity thanks to a moving module.
"And I confirmed the upcoming threat. They are attracted to the Quantum Brainwaves that I produce now.
As the GN technology will continue to spread, they will get attracted and will move her." She looked at him, still with a bit of surprise in her eyes. Those eyes were something else.
Though for some reason, she is having this feeling that she has already seen something like that before.
"..."
"Well, there is more than I want to reveal to you. But alas, one thing at a time, General." Marcus smiled at her, prompting the woman to adjust her glasses and offer him a strained smile.
She never had such an annoying boss before. He is clearly not a proper military man.
"I will eagerly await tfor them. In the meantime, can you forward these files to me? I wish to study them." Kati asked with a polite tone.
"Consider it done." He flicked the files on the console and emailed them to her.
"They are in your inbox, have fun reading them. In the meantime, I will play around with the capital ships." The disguised Emperor smiled brightly at her, making the General frown for a second before she saluted him and then left the office.
"So uptight. Though that is her charm." Marcus shook his head for a second before returning to check out the proposed designs for the capital ships.
