Death Star Defense System.
Energy is transmitted through power pipes 100 meters underground, establishing a comprehensive atmospheric defense mechanism on the planet's surface. When not needed, these "Jupiter cannons" are hidden under various seemingly ordinary buildings in the form of conventional structures. When needed, they only require Lin Yi, as the "energy source," to provide the power to start them.

The silent planet itself will be transformed into the largest "weapon".

"Hey, where did all this stuff come from?!"
Behind the mostly destroyed bunker, just as Scorpion was about to peek out, a storm of metal forced her into a corner once again. While changing her nearly empty magazine, she complained, "This kind of firepower is just bullying me."
"Waaah...out of bullets."
"Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"
Looking at the many humanoids in the same state of chaos, Scorpion quickly abandoned the idea of joining forces with them to fight back, and instead considered how best to damage itself.
After all, under that level of intense firepower, it seemed impossible for the "black box" to be preserved. If it could "commit suicide" before that, it might be possible to retain the current data. Then, with a new body, it would be another "I'm back!"
As Scorpion was contemplating these random thoughts and making up his mind to officially carry out his "suicide mission," a shadow suddenly loomed over his head. When he instinctively looked up, he was met with a pair of eyes: mechanical eyes about three times his size, flashing with scarlet electronic light.
"...Haha, there's nothing here?"
【Target Confirmation】
"Click"
The twelve-barreled hollow gun muzzle was aimed directly at the pale-faced human figure without any obstruction.
[Annihilate the enemy!]
“————————!!!”
The “death” was interrupted.
The speed was so fast that Scorpion could only catch a glimpse of the air being torn apart in mid-air with its eyes. The metal giant, which had only been dented by a large-caliber anti-materiel sniper weapon until just now, was now as easily "crushed" as a large building block casually set up by a child.
Amidst the ensuing sonic boom and tearing sounds, countless sparkling metal parts detached from its upper body and were flung into the air. The high-speed spinning machine gun gradually subsided due to the loss of its energy source. Only when the metal giant, now devoid of its upper body, crashed down heavily before its eyes did Scorpion clearly realize the reality that it was still alive.
As she turned her gaze back, what came into her view was a giant cannon tilted and pointing towards the sky.
"...Jupiter Cannon".
"boom-----!!!"
Like a heavy hammer striking the ground, the impact of this giant cannon, which stands more than five meters tall, on the surrounding area when it was actually activated was terrifying. The solid ground could not even last a second before cracks appeared, making people wonder if it would collapse on the next strike.
However, the destruction caused by such a terrifying force was also unparalleled. The metal projectile, fired at speeds exceeding 6000 m/s, traced a series of visible shockwaves in the sky along an almost straight trajectory, chasing the "meteorites" falling from above and making contact at a certain point.
“——————!!!”
The first "firework" bursts into bloom in the sky, which is dyed red by flames.
Then the second, third, fourth...
The number of things falling from the sky did not decrease but increased exponentially. However, they were no longer those invincible metal giants, but pieces and fragments of varying sizes. They disintegrated and fell from the center of the "fireworks" with flames and melting tails, just like the hazy scene in the night sky during the height of summer.
In less than a few minutes, the sky that had been invaded by the "object from outer space" returned to its original calm, but the fiery red color that had been stained on the ground became even deeper.
However, the massive cannons, which had begun to scorch, did not stop there. After clearing away the scattered fragments, they all aimed at a single point—
[Reverse positioning complete, world coordinates locked]
"...An attack that crossed the boundary."
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 274 MS
In CE70, PLANT, pursuing political and economic independence, formally broke out into armed conflict with the Earth Federation, using the "Bloody Valentine" incident as an opportunity. ZAFT forces, possessing mobile suits, achieved overwhelming victories against the Federation forces in various locations, completely shattering the previous predictions that "the Earth Federation would win due to numerical superiority."
Eleven months have passed, and the battle remains deadlocked.
On this day, an attack occurred on Heliopolis, a resource satellite of the neutral nation of Orb. The specific reasons and purposes are now unknown, and no one cares to know. After all, compared to what is about to happen, the past is no longer important...
The first to notice the anomaly was the inspector who was carrying out daily routine observations on the satellite space station.
"High-energy reaction detected in the S3 constellation region... Is something wrong?"
Comparing the data on the detection image, which was expanding and leaping at an almost insane speed, the inspector looked into the outer space of the S3 constellation region—there was nothing there. Thus, it was easy to conclude that the detection system had malfunctioned.
This is a perfectly normal judgment.
In the star system that humans can detect, the only place with civilization, or rather, the only place with life, is the original Earth. Although large-scale migration and satellite manufacturing have begun, only humanity itself can trigger large-scale energy reactions in this universe.
Clearly, it is impossible for human footprints to appear in a star system as barren as the S3 constellation, which does not even contain a single resource satellite.
"Notify the ground troops to bring the repair tools with them on their next duty."
"Does the data need to be reported?"
"No need. It was just a mistake anyway. If there really was such a large energy reaction, it wouldn't be a problem to destroy Heliopolis, let alone the monitoring station."
The recorder looked enlightened and was about to delete the abnormal data from the system when a beam of light from a distant star caught his attention.
"……what is that?"
January 25, CE71.
The resource satellite Heliopolis, belonging to the neutral nation of Orb, was attacked by an ultra-high-energy strafing attack, and hundreds of thousands of residents, along with the latest MS under development and testing on board, were reduced to dust in space.
January 27, CE71.
Near the resource satellite Heliopolis, the asteroid Artemis, under the administration of the Eurasian Federation, was suddenly attacked by an unknown force, and all external communications were severed after 37 minutes.
January 28, CE71.
Amidst this chaos, an organization of dubious origin, unknown composition, and unclear purpose has declared its existence in this world.
—The Supreme God.
----------segmentation----------
Nothing can always go according to plan.
As Lin Yi walked on the space station that had just been completed yesterday, searching for information about mobile suits in this unfamiliar world, he came to this realization.
It was expected that the intelligent world would be the first target of the "fragments," since the world's coordinates had already been exposed. Rather than continuing to hide it, it was better to use it as bait to attract the other party's attention, which led to the birth of the "Death Star" project.
This decision was made to deplete the enemy's strength to the greatest extent possible after they took the bait. In fact, Lin Yi had even prepared to detonate the earth's core in the best-case scenario of the enemy launching a full-scale attack. However, it seems that he was being too presumptuous.
Those metal giants formed from the activation of various vehicles were merely pawns destined to be sacrificed and thrown in. When the main god located this world based on their coordinates of invading the intelligent world, Lin Yi realized that they were just the second bait thrown out by the other side.
The purpose of this second bait was simply to get himself involved in this world.
Unlike typical parallel worlds, this world represents the highest level of technological development Lin Yi has ever encountered. Large-scale extraterrestrial migration was completed decades ago, and the resources of the entire galaxy were plundered in an almost predatory manner to fuel the expansion of civilization.
Naturally, a civilization with such advanced technology would not lag behind in terms of military strength, and the existence of mobile suits is proof of this.
Mobile Suit, or MS for short.
This is a giant humanoid mobile weapon that is about 15 to 18 meters tall (some even reach 50 meters). Because of its high mobility, powerful firepower, protection and versatility, it is regarded by many countries as a revolutionary weapon of the times.
Unlike the IS in World Eleven, the birth of MS is not an "anomaly," but rather a positive change made by the humans of this world as they actively adapt to technological advancements. In other words, this world is still in a state of no external invasion—this was the case three days ago.
The destruction of the resource satellite Heliopolis three days ago directly sealed the position and existence of the Main God Space in this world. Perhaps this is the true purpose of the "Fragment"?
Often, dealing with an enemy doesn't necessarily require you to eliminate it yourself. As long as you can weaken it, it's necessary to use other "third parties."
Things have developed to this point that even if Lin Yi wanted to withdraw from this world, there was nothing he could do, unless he wanted to expose more world coordinates to the "fragments" that were hidden somewhere. The only thing to be thankful for was that Lin Yi found that he had a second option besides "retreating".
February 2, 1971
Amidst the hostility and targeting of numerous forces, a new "terrorist" force that suddenly attacked and destroyed the resource satellite Heliopolis and seized the asteroid Artemis spoke out to all "humanity" in public for the first time.
"The incidents involving Heliopolis and Artemis were merely accidental events orchestrated by our enemies to target us. We, on the other hand, came with good intentions. To demonstrate our sincerity, I will now announce to everyone in the world—regardless of race, region, or social class—a revolutionary technology unlike any MS!"
As he said this, numerous complex formulas and symbols appeared on the huge projection screen behind him, and eventually converged on the same machine.
Compared to the MS standing next to it, which was nearly 15 meters tall but barely less than 3 meters, it appeared exceptionally small, as if it could be easily crushed underfoot. However, every researcher who noticed those parameters showed a look of astonishment.
Under the world's "gaze," Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is called IS."
Metal Frenzy: Chapter 275 Interstellar Factory
The more advanced a civilization is, the more robust its mechanism for "evolutionary elimination" becomes. What would take millions of years to calculate in nature is reduced from hundreds of years to decades, from decades to years, and from years to just a few days in the hands of civilization. As long as a civilization is convinced that something can bring about the "change" they need, then this evolution will change everything at an unstoppable pace.
The emergence of IS signifies this change.
The massive amount of data from "God" successfully diverted the attention of many speculators from God itself to this brand-new technology. Initially, they were merely skeptical of this single-person combat weapon platform, which was different from MS. However, as the first IS on the planet Artemis was officially constructed and assembled, all the doubts disappeared without a trace.
After all the data of this mass-produced model, a replica of the third-generation IS, was tested and made public, the once obscure planet Artemis ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity.
Like sharks smelling fish in the ocean, every force that realized the true value of IS, whether hostile or neutral, rushed to it, trying to get a share of the benefits in this "feast". Under such circumstances, not to mention those countries that denounced the "main god", even the neutral country of Ob, the victim, and the Eurasian Federation, the owner of this asteroid, tacitly kept their mouths shut.
February 18, 1971
Artemis, the temporary capital
As Aslan Sara stepped off the transport ship, breathing in the planet's natural air for the first time in a long while, he gazed at the distant horizon.
The planet was vastly different from the descriptions he had seen before landing. The planet, which should have been sparsely populated, had long been overrun by people. The temporary landing site, which had been expanded several times over, was also at full capacity. If it weren't for his "convenient" identity, he probably would still be like those merchants wandering in outer space, unable to even make it to the landing site.
And all of this is simply because of an "IS".
"...Athrun?! What are you doing here?"
A middle-aged man approaching them looked surprised upon recognizing Asura's face, then, as if realizing something, quickly led him to a relatively secluded corner: "Your injury—"
"Don't worry, Uncle. I escaped the surface before the explosion. I was only affected by the shockwave. As for the new mobile suits I captured..."
Relieved, the middle-aged man glanced around and lowered his voice: "It's alright. Even if we get the data from those MS, we may not be able to put it into mass production. Besides, compared to the technology we're about to acquire, MS probably won't be of much value from now on."
"uncle?"
Looking at the smiling middle-aged man in front of her with a puzzled expression, Asura couldn't understand what he was trying to say at all.
"Asura, you may be unmatched in piloting mobile suits in combat, but you are far too short-sighted when it comes to the future direction of this world..."
As he said this, he pointed to the bustling urban area in the distance: "Now. What do you see?"
"...businessmen, politicians, and speculators."
However, this answer was rejected outright.
"No, this is the future!"
Trying to calm his excited emotions, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his voice: "I've been here for five days, and in these five days I've come into contact with those IS... Can you imagine, Athrun, that with less than 5% of the resources used to build an MS, he was able to create a weapon with atmospheric combat capabilities equivalent to an MS, and even surpass it in terms of agility and anti-gravity!"
"If these people came here with speculative intentions at the beginning, then they now represent the future of this world. Short-term gains may drive them crazy, but only gains that are destined to last will make these people rush here regardless of everything."
"Athrun, do you remember the scene you witnessed at the launch event for the world's largest MS manufacturer's latest MS?"
Aslan was taken aback by what he heard, and then subconsciously pulled out those vague fragments of memory from the depths of his mind—comparing them with the scene before him.
"That's right, IS... this kind of weapon is destined to be another kind of 'MS'!"
----------segmentation----------
"The best way to shift the existing contradictions is to create an even bigger one for them."
Looking down at the crowds of people on the 30th floor who were already saturated yet still trying to flood into the city, Lin Yi suddenly felt an urge to laugh.
It cannot be said that the "Fragment" plan was a failure. After all, if Lin Yi had made a mistake at that time, he would have been met with hostility and attacks from the whole world. At that time, he would have had to face the attack from the local forces that had developed to the stage of interstellar immigration, and he would also have to be on guard against the sudden attack of the "Fragment". Even the best start would have been wasted.
However, the more clearly an individual can be calculated within the scope that data can interpret, the more sluggish they become in areas that data cannot describe.
According to the data calculations of the "Fragments", Lin Yi, who was passively drawn into this world in a hostile state, will have a greater than 90% probability of being forced to fight them if he does nothing. Once the war starts, there is a greater than 78% probability that he will be forced to stay here. If he suffers another attack from behind by the "Fragments" during this period, there is a 91% probability that he will be directly "defeated".
—A perfect calculation formula, one that even Lin Yi himself could not refute.
