After giving the order for the production of the large force field generator, Jin started the next preparation.
"All right, next is the transfer cannon.

The transfered or shifted object has the characteristic of stopping relative to the coordinates of the exit.
We are going to use this to render the debris harmless.
The most important issue now is the speed of the object, i.e., the time it takes to approach Ars, so if it stops, we will be able to process it slowly.

However, it is unfortunate that we cannot process all the debris in the same way, because the difficulty increases rapidly if the mass of the target is too large.

"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow morning as planned.
It is preferable to do the work in space as far away from Ars as possible.

And to do that, we should leave as early as possible.

Father, please get some rest.
"Yes, I will."
Satisfied, Jin went to his house to rest his tired body.

When he opened the sliding door of his bedroom, the light was still on and Erza was awake.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Jin.
Erza greeted Jin as she sat on the futon.

"Erza, you haven't slept yet, have you?
"No. I was worried that Jin might be overworked. ......I couldn't help him this time, so this is the least I can do for him."
Jin patted Erza on the head and smiled.

"Well, that's good."
Seeing Jin's smile, Elsa let out a small sigh of relief.

Tiredness overtook him at once.
When Erza turned off the light and looked at Jin, he was already sleeping.
"Brother Jin, good night," she whispered in a small voice.

Erza gives Jin a warm welcome.

Jin looked up at the ceiling. He imagines the blackness of space that lies beyond.
"About three-fifths...... of this is based on the distance in a straight line between where the debris is now and Ars, and that's where we're going to flip it. Otherwise, you can't synchronize the velocity with the debris swarm."
In order to properly handle the debris swarm, they need to be traveling side by side at the same speed.

Otherwise, they would pass each other in an instant. A speed of a few hundred kilometers per second is a lot.
"If we could synchronize our speeds faster and further away, it would reduce the risk to Ars."

The speed of the debris near Arus is estimated at 250 km/sec.

Taking a deep breath, Jin leaned back in his command chair.

From her words and expression, it was clear that Erza was deeply concerned about Jin.
Jin gently took Elsa's hand.

The warmth of their hands on each other's is the most loving feeling.
Erza wished. No matter what awaits them in the future, at least for this moment, she wishes for the same moment as usual.
