บท 84: The true power of science

The atmosphere inside the Survey Corps base was excellent, there were no problems of any kind and everyone had a good time either training or learning new things.

On the evening of the fourth day inside the castle, custom made uniforms arrived for the new recruits, Takashi donned his Survey Corps uniform with the freedom wings pattern and a green cape with pride.

He was about to go to the mess hall to meet Armin and Connie, but Sub Captain Moblit Berner of the fourth squadron, called out to him.

"Major, Hange Zoe, the captain, are you looking for me for something?" Takashi was a bit confused, it shouldn't be of much relevance to Hange Zoe.　　

Moblit Berner also didn't seem to understand what his squadron leader was thinking and said, "I don't know either. Captain Hange is busy making flares in the lab, you'll understand once you meet with her."

Takashi nodded without thinking too much and quickly headed towards the lab next to Moblit. In the last few days Hange had been hard at work creating and transporting all kinds of equipment.　　

When they arrived, the door was ajar, Moblit and Takashi entered silently. 　

As soon as Takashi entered, the first thing that caught his eye were long rows of test tubes, filled with various bottles with unknown liquids, long tubes lying all over the place.　　

On the central table, there are several disassembled signal flares and gunpowder of different types were in various containers on the table.

Evidently, some things in here did not correspond to the technology outside, Takashi had been here for a long time and this was the first time he looked at things like this. 　　

Everything looked as if many things inside the walls had been erased all at once, it wasn't possible that you could create a three-dimensional maneuvering equipment and not be able to have a book on geography of the entire world.

According to Takashi's understanding in the past three years, there are many curious things inside the walls but everyone seems not to pay much attention to them.

Hange Zoe, who was the leader of the research team within the Survey Corps, moved in and started using various vials of liquids that Takashi was unfamiliar with.

Although he was not exactly a student who distinguished between the sciences, he still had a general knowledge of physics and chemistry.

"Hi! Takashi, welcome, find a place where you can sit down." Hange Zoe was evidently not very informal.

Takashi sat down on a stool and looked at Hange Zoe, who was busy making flares, a little quizzical Takashi asked, "Captain Hange Zoe, what can I do for you?"

Moblit Berner was also a little curious, Hange kept moving and said with a smile, "It's nothing important, there was a report about what you said on the night of your training corps dissolution."

"If our knives don't cut, if our cannons are not accurate and not powerful enough. But as long as everything is upgraded from generation to generation, one day there will be weapons so powerful that they will destroy the titans without having to lose beloved people."

Takashi's face stalled, how could he possibly know about that, who recorded it? That's terrible, they must have investigated even the moles on his butt.

Earnestly, Takashi said, "Yes, I remember saying something like that. Now that things have come to this point I'm more convinced of that. We can't put all our hopes on our best warriors and now Eren's power, eventually warriors die and Eren's power might not be so reliable for our future."

Takashi felt that leaving all that pressure on Eren was not good, even though he is a protagonist, he can't be given that burden s only him when the responsibility is everyone's. Eren, driven by his emotions, can ruin an entire battle plan for now, so relying on his abilities would be a danger.

As a former spectator, as far as he remembers he knows a little about Eren. In his opinion, Eren can be an amazing warrior but if he is really pushed to the limit, he can do all sorts of crazy things.

"Oh, how do you think we would eventually defeat the titans? It takes a long time to improve our weaponry, don't you think Eren's power is the fastest way?" Hange turned her head and looked at Takashi curiously. She thinks this young recruit's ideas are brilliant, so she was intrigued to talk to him as soon as possible. 　

"Eren's power may be the way to a better future, but it's not a solution we have to hold on to all the time. If he got the power somehow, it is also possible to remove it from his body, so it would be smart to try to find out everything about his power and then try to steal the power from our enemies." Takashi said with a piercing look.

His thoughts are not bound by this world. In Takashi's opinion, the power of the titans is strong but eventually not so invincible, do we understand the true terror of a missile?

Apparently there is no Newton in this world, but there is nothing wrong with the development of science. After closer observation, everything can become understandable except for the titans. 　

If the Howitzers inside the cannons can't take out the titans accurately! It's just a matter of accuracy and speed. Therefore, climbing in military power is the true future of mankind.　　

Hange Zoe stopped what she was doing, walked over to Takashi, pushed up her glasses and whispered, "That's very cool and all, but you know, except for some technologies, such as three-dimensional maneuvering equipment, the cult of the walls and the Royal family has been suppressing technological innovation. Even if it comes to reinforcing the wall, the process is slow and time-consuming."

Her eyes were a bit cold, and Takashi's expression was indifferent, "I could imagine something like that, but we must struggle with those restrictions. Otherwise, there's not much chance..."

Takashi shared opinions about the ramparts' defenses, even upgrading the cannons.

Hange Zoe was silent and Moblit was not in a good mood. The situation is getting worse and worse for the humans, but many don't want to see it that way. 　

Hange Zoe sighed: "In fact, we are all very passive. Even if we want the Walls Cult to abandon technological suppression, it will be a very difficult thing to do. Since ancient times, the Walls Cult has never changed that policy!"

His eyes were cold and this made Takashi think that something was not right with the religions and the Royal family. His voice became flat and he said, "For the future, what's the use of having such a King?"

Horror was drawn on Moblit's face and he was shocked to see Takashi. Those words are not as simple as treason, Hange Zoe couldn't hide her surprise, "Takashi, do you know what you are talking about, your thoughts are very dangerous!" 　　

Takashi has spent a long time in this world, he knows how much the Royal family's imprint is marked in people's hearts, but this thought can't stop him. Takashi did not flinch and said, "If I were the danger to the stability of these walls I would not be in this place, the nobles and also the Royal family is a disaster, how can they let a cult have more power than the legions that protect humanity? We even have to watch our friends, brothers and acquaintances die for continuing to defend the future of these walls."

"If all those losses were with humans giving their all, I wouldn't think this way, but it seems someone put rules and brakes on our fight from the start. Pixis already said it, we are not in danger and we do not choose what will happen inside the walls, but the future is in our hands from now on."

Moblit looked at Takashi in shock, unable to believe that was what a recruit said.

Hange Zoe's eyes banished with excitement, "Haha, your thinking is brilliant! So, do you have some innovative ideas in your mind?"

Takashi was a bit thoughtful. He was very observant in the movies and series he watched in his past life, he also had an average education. He better than anyone knows that humans can't be cornered like this.

Now humans are inside the wall, cornered and driven to despair, isn't that when innovative minds should shine the most? Now, the rest of humanity has a closed mind, as if something has completely blinded them.

Thinking about this, Takashi stood up from his stool and said excitedly, "Yes, the future is military weaponry."

Moblit Berner slowly walked away from Captain Hange Zoe and Takashi; he felt that these two might explode at any moment.

Takashi traveled to this world, obtained a Susanoo and the ability to make use of Chakra, but he still believed in science.　

Hange Zoe looked at Takashi as if she was looking at a precious animal and asked curiously, "Takashi, do you have any good ideas you want to share?"

To capture a titan alive, Hange Zoe invented many tools. This plan to capture the intelligent titan alive included her inventions. She is one of the few people who now knows Erwin Smith's overall plan.

Takashi sighed, hating himself for not having proper education right now, but still gave a brief introduction to hot air balloons, grenades, machine guns and other inventions, whether they were useful or not someone could recreate those things.

The more Moblit listened, the more surprised he was, and the more Hange Zoe listened, the more excited she was. Suddenly, he patted Takashi and shouted excitedly, "Takashi, you're a real genius! As of today, you're a member of the fourth squadron."

Takashi: "Huh?"

After living in his previous life and this one, it was the first time someone praised him as a genius. Looking at the excited Hange Zoe, Takashi's excitement inside his body had been exhausted. This woman in front of him is not a normal person. Hearing those words from her mouth meant nothing but future trouble.

Takashi, who just joined the fourth squadron, felt like a cat being cherished by Hange Zoe.

Currently, there are five members of squad four, Captain Hange Zoe, Nifa, Abel, Keiji and Deputy Captain Moblit and now genius Takashi joined this squad.

In fact, Takashi also has a promising background within the army. No matter which regiment he goes to, he would be recognized for his military achievements so far. According to Hange Zoe, after this expedition outside the walls, he would be eligible to join squad four officially.

Moblit Berner felt that there was nothing wrong with him. He got to know him better today and Takashi left a deep impression on him. Although he is a new recruit, he must have strength, intelligence and boldness, and his military achievements are not small . .

Thus, squad four has six members.

In addition, the squad directly under the squad leader is quite special. For example, Nanaba, she is not only a member of Mike's squad, but also the leader of another squad.
