Gundam: From Piece to Player

"Vice Commander Apa, do you think we can achieve victory with this [rabbit] virus?"

"It can kill the artificial intelligence on Luna II... This is a weapon that General Tiam obtained in exchange for Anaheim's 'secret deal with Kalma Zabi,' and it came from Professor Deco, an expert in the field and Meisi Lutz's mentor."

Aipa looked at the electronic virus called "Rabbit" and hesitated.

As an older officer, he didn't understand these high-tech gadgets, and he believed that Wakeman wasn't much better than him.

The plan was simple: use one new mobile suit under development as bait to lure Karma Zabi into a trap...

According to many intelligence experts, Karma Zabi seems to have a particular fondness for collecting advanced mobile suits, and he certainly can't resist the urge.

However, if the other party wants to view the internal systems of the machine and use electronic devices to access the internal network of Luna 2, then...

This would be able to "kill" or "paralyze" the artificial intelligence developed based on computer learning—afterwards, the Federation specifically reviewed and investigated the cause of Luna II's fall, and finally found the reason.

As for shutting down Luna II's automatic defense system... it was because Tiam threatened to seize AE's headquarters in von Braun, forcing AE to hand over the source code and backdoor program.

Although they looked extremely humiliated, a company should act like a company. They've taken so many benefits before; it's time for them to realize that they can't do whatever they want.

General Reibell was too lenient with AE.

But the biggest question is whether this thing will actually work...

If Kalma Zabi replaced all the automated defense systems after capturing Luna 2, it might not be possible to shut it down—although this would be very costly, it's not impossible from a military perspective.

"Let's try it first and see if we can shut down the Luna II Fortress defense system. Shutting it down will instantly disable our firepower," Tianm suggested, offering a win-win solution. "If we can successfully shut it down, then we can launch an attack."

“What if we fail?” Aipa asked.

“Then we’ll retreat from the asteroid belt back to Earth. There’s no point in wasting time here. We should wait until we’re better prepared before launching an attack,” Wakney replied.

Waken's considerations were very thorough, and even the older and more experienced Apah couldn't find anything wrong with them.

The failure of the Luna II mission and the setbacks in his career also gave this younger generation a more resilient heart.

"How's it going with the conglomerate?" Wakeman asked.

“They haven’t left yet, and their intentions are unclear,” Aipa replied. “I asked them about their current mission, and they replied that they are dealing with internal affairs.”

"I guess they're waiting for the final outcome of the battle."

December 21th, an ordinary day.

A dark blue sunglasses-style vehicle was slowly stepped onto the pedals, and the pilot was Captain Debos Roya, an elite pilot who was completely unaware of the situation.

"I never expected to be so lucky to be assigned such a new mobile suit. This machine's performance must be even stronger than a Gundam's, right?"

"The armor is still a bit lacking. Be careful not to get targeted by the enemy," the maintenance crew member reminded him.

"Don't worry, even if it's Karma Zabi, I can easily defeat him with this machine."

"You're just bragging. Don't wet your pants if you actually encounter this."

"Hmph, I'll show you right now."

Deboss appeared very confident, and even the maintenance crew member couldn't help but admire his open-minded attitude after going into battle.

Some of the functions of this new machine were beyond their own comprehension, so the Expeditionary Force Command assigned personnel to maintain them.

There must be some special, powerful weapon hidden there—the kind that can utterly defeat the opponent.

.

After detecting the Minovsky particle distribution through remote sensing devices, the Juno Town defense platform immediately activated its automatic defense system.

At the same time, the garrison troops were ordered to enter a state of first-level combat readiness.

Haiwen walked from the guardhouse into the command room. She and General Song Ren took turns every other week, and this week it was her turn.

How many enemies are there?

"Reporting to the commander, there are a total of 3 Salamis-class cruisers and some mobile suits."

"Send out the MS team to carry out the expulsion work. The purpose of others doing this every day is to lull us into a false sense of security. Don't be careless."

"Yes."

Haiwen sat down at the command post, his gaze beginning to scrutinize the federal reconnaissance unit as usual.

"Reporting to the commander, an unidentified new MS has been discovered... It is not in the data database."

Chapter 194 Wallace: We Will Win

"A new MS?" Haiwen thought for a moment. "Zoom in and show it to me."

"Yes."

As the image zoomed in, Haiwen was able to see the appearance of the machine more clearly.

Compared to the Gundam type, the GM has more variations in some respects compared to other mass-produced models.

"Send Captain Marian, who is on standby, to attack and tell her to capture as many as possible."

Five minutes later, Mental Strength 78 launched an attack, wiping out the entire MS reconnaissance squadron in three minutes, and then returned carrying the new mobile suit that had been "shrunk" into a human stick.

Although it's a new machine, it doesn't seem particularly strong. Is it a high-end mass-produced machine?

The hangar maintenance crew was extremely familiar with the GM model and quickly opened the cockpit from the outside.

"Don't shoot, I surrender, and you must treat me according to the Antarctic Treaty."

Just a dozen minutes ago, De Bos was spouting nonsense, and he was giving a French military salute when the maintenance crew punched him...

It's pointless not to open the cockpit after being captured.

Haiwen waved his hand, signaling the guards to take the man away, and then jumped into the cockpit of the machine to begin his inspection.

This new machine still uses the old-fashioned three-sided main screen. Is the Federation so poor that it can't even afford to use a full-screen display on the new machine?

After inspecting the mech's weapon system, Haiwen, who was used to piloting high-end mechs, was somewhat disgusted... In addition to these, the mech was equipped with a sealed system.

Could it be a function similar to EXAM?

After trying several decoding tools without success, Haiwen gave up.

She emerged from the cockpit and signaled to the maintenance crew to seal the aircraft... She herself would continue her duty of guarding the aircraft.

"A new machine?"

"Yes, Commander Haiwen has captured a new machine," his subordinate reported.

Kalmar learned of this two hours later, after he had just inspected the cultivation of this new crop, corn.

He went to the hangar with the intention of just taking a look.

Isn't this the Titans' riot control version of Jim?

(Jim the riot control type)

If he remembered correctly, this mobile suit was probably developed around UC0083, and the early models weren't much stronger than the Special Type GM.

If there's any new technology involved, it's the arms of this machine. Although Marian has shaved them into human sticks, the maintenance records can still be seen in the central control computer's stored data.

The design concept of separating the armor from the inner frame, along with the movable frame technology, still has some technical reference value.

As for the internal system, Kalmar opened the code and glanced at the external program architecture that housed this "pile" of stuff.

It created a sense of déjà vu, like I'd seen it somewhere before.

Hey, this isn't a direct copy of my senior's external program architecture...

Upon seeing this, Karma understood the purpose of this thing—it must be used to deal with artificial intelligence, his daughter Alice.

Karma could even connect this to how the Federation Army had threatened Professor Deco, her senior's teacher, to get this thing.

The professor probably wasn't too willing to do this, as there was little to no pay, and he was likely being semi-forced to do it.

—So they resorted to this trick to retaliate against the Federation forces.

It can only be said that the federal government's plan was good, but these soldiers who didn't understand computer technology made many mistakes in its execution.

However, on the other hand, the Federation forces were already prepared to attack.

I'm just waiting to kidnap and paralyze Alice, and then log into Juno.

Wait a minute... the Federation Space Force actually dares to fight a land war with me?

—That's true. These space troops who fly in the sky haven't fought much in land warfare. Their understanding of land warfare is limited to fortress conquest and colony control.

They probably thought that once they suppressed the port, sending in mobile suits would solve everything.

The Space Forces probably can't imagine how difficult the battle against Odessa was. The reason it looked like they won easily was because Karma had clairvoyance and had accumulated countless trump cards since she traveled through time.

However, since they want to fight on land... let's teach them a lesson and satisfy their curiosity.

After thinking for a moment, Kalmar called over Song Ren, who was developing a new generation of agricultural tractors.

It's time to assemble the 101st Airborne Division... They are now also the guardians of Juneau.

Compared to their time on Earth, this unit has made significant progress in ultrasonic radar and laser information technology.

The Wolf Fighter and the Type 81 tank have been redesigned after fully mastering the E-CAP and Luna titanium alloy smelting technologies.

Although the equipment has been upgraded, proficiency and combat power have decreased slightly.

From a long-term development perspective, it is no longer appropriate to allow the members of the 101st Division to continue serving as full-time professional soldiers... being a soldier is more like a part-time job.

The Federation Expedition flagship, the Magellan-class.

"Are we already within firing range?" Wakney asked.

"Yes, the enemy's air defense equipment did not respond."

"Investigate again, scout again."

Despite his doubts, Huaken has made up his mind to take the gamble.

All military operations carry risks.

"Commander Clancy, is the Marine Brigade ready?"

"Reporting to the commander, the Marine brigade is ready."
