Gundam: From Piece to Player

The goal of collecting combat data on Luvi Jelu has been exceeded.

Barney was also getting a little carried away piloting the machine. Normally, he wouldn't have chosen to clash with that "big refrigerator," and thus he wouldn't have fallen for its counterattack.

Every boy dreams of piloting a giant robot when he's a child.

You mean MS?

Those can only be considered small robots; only robots like Luvi Jelu, which are close to 80 meters in size, can be considered truly large.

There are still many lessons to be learned from this battle.

Luvi Jelu performed poorly when dealing with dense live ammunition (she was indeed immortal, but she was definitely badly injured).

In the future, we definitely need to develop an effective interceptor weapon... On the other hand, this type of disposable, densely packed missile cabinet weapon also has significant application value.

Especially when facing enemy MS units launching a cluster charge, it can directly achieve a center-of-effect attack.

Now that the battle data has been collected, it's time to sneak off to SIDE2 to help them out.

Two minutes later, the smoke gradually dissipated.

The large refrigerator slowly approached and soon witnessed the blown-open outer armor.

"Did you take them down, Jung?"

The laser communication from Tianm came through. The battle between the two machines just now inevitably reminded him of the Great Zam that had chased him during the One Year War.

“I think so, General.”

Jung said this, but he didn't really think so in his heart—he felt that things weren't over yet.

"General, I believe it is a weapon left behind by Karma Zabi in the Earth Sphere..."

"Don't you think it was developed by Deakin's son?"

At this moment, Tianm did not put on any airs of a commander and began to communicate with him directly.

“I don’t think it’s him. After two years of contact, I think we have a general understanding of Daken’s son’s style of doing things… Although his words are very tough, he is actually not very aggressive.”

“Kalma Zabi, on the other hand, remained highly aggressive, as evidenced by the tragic fate of the expeditionary force.”

"My view is similar to yours."

Tianm had been recuperating from a health condition for some time, handling some family matters on Earth and taking a long leave of absence, thus not staying with the Space Fleet or Solomon. Now, with this crisis arising, he has returned to space and keenly sensed a change occurring within the Space Force.

There is no power vacuum.

When he left, other forces inevitably tried to fill his niche... and now that he's back, he may have to engage in a fierce struggle with some of the guys who occupied his niche.

The Federation is such a huge organization that it has all sorts of people: those who are just waiting to die, ambitious people, those who are looking forward to war, avengers...

That young man who returned from Jupiter is someone we can look forward to.

As for Tianm, all he could do was to drive these people in one direction as much as possible, rather than letting them exert their strength in all directions, lest the old car that was the Federation fall apart.

"You despicable sneak attacker, take this!"

Harman piloted the Swordfish, a floating cannon-type aircraft, and the E-CAP sniper rifle mounted on its underside began firing, hitting the RX-170 in a single shot.

Under Anna's instructions, she was searching for the third member of the Federation assault team.

Thanks to her early years of experience searching for people and objects, Harman is quite adept at locating enemies.

Seeing that she had been discovered, Christina immediately piloted her Gundam to engage in combat.

However, just minutes later, Haman used floating missiles to blast Christina's new Gundam's armor into craters.

Christina's attacks completely missed Haman.

Christina's piloting skills can only be considered elite, and although she has Newtype abilities, they are not considered powerful.

This cannot compensate for the huge gap in their driving skills.

Just then, Harman suddenly sensed something approaching at high speed.

It was a large mobile armor (MA). Because of the significant differences in design styles between Zeon and Federation mobile suits, plus its single eye, Haman immediately recognized it as a "teammate" who had come to provide support.

As Harman had anticipated, Morse code lights flashed on the machine.

This was clearly an attempt to identify themselves, and unsurprisingly, the other party was indeed from the "Zeon Clique."

[I am Barnard Wiesman, a commissioner from the Space Alliance, here on orders from Commissioner Kalmar to provide support to Chairman El.]

"You've come at the right time. Come with me to deal with this Gundam/fighter."

Almost simultaneously, Christina and Harman quickly realized what was happening and replied with the same message.

Christina also realized that the MA's armament might offer a glimmer of hope if she could deceive the enemy.

This immediately put Barney in a difficult position, as both mobile suits in front of him were produced by the Federation (one was a Gundam, and the other was a Swordfish), and they were thousands of miles apart.

There were no secret signals or anything between them.

However, Barney had a flash of inspiration and quickly came up with a way to verify it.

"Please reply with Miss Anna El's code name from her time in Zeon."

Christina was speechless this time, and Harman immediately typed the correct message on the keyboard—which allowed Barney to instantly recognize his teammate.

Barney immediately aimed at the Gundam, intending to send it flying into the sky with the Mega Particle Cannon.

Harman, however, stopped him via laser communication.

“Commissioner Barnard, this is a new Federal machine; we must capture it if possible.”

"Oh, that makes sense."

Harman didn't reveal the real reason; the machine itself was secondary. It was because the other party was a rare Newtype, and for the organization, Newtypes were the absolute cornerstone of future development...

Only one new human is born out of every 600,000 people, and they must never kill each other.

After hearing this, Barney manipulated Luvi Jeru to approach the Gundam.

Christina watched the enormous creature approaching in front of her, her heart filled with terror.

Gundam tried to use its beam rifle to attack, but all of its attacks were nullified by the I-field. Unlike the GP03D's external I-field generator, Luv Jell's I-field generator was inside and well-protected by the outer armor, making it an absolute nemesis for the RX-170, which primarily uses beam weapons.

"Please help me, Alex."

She couldn't help but think this, and the thought was transmitted to the direction of NT-1 through the psilocybin device.

Luv Jelu's 10 wire-guided mechanical claws attacked the Gundam, attaching themselves to the joint gaps and armor, and activating a high-voltage discharge shock.

Gundam was instantly overloaded and short-circuited by the 50 times high voltage inside Luvi Jelu's body. Even with the Faraday cage design, the resulting counter-voltage still knocked Christina unconscious.

Meanwhile, in the other battle, NT-1, eager to save his mother, withdrew without even saying goodbye.

Only Shiko remained, piloting the Gundam against the Zeong.

"Anna El, I'll fight you to the death!"

At this moment, the RX-170, having fought its way down to only one arm and one relatively intact leg, drew its beam saber and launched a desperate attack on the Zeon.

That's about enough. Anna figured that if she acted any further, she'd gone too far.

Zeong's two steel punches passed close to the Gundam's side, the enormous impact shattering the RX-170 into a human stick.

Due to severe damage to the AMBAC, its self-alignment function also completely failed, and under the influence of inertia, it was turned into a gyroscope.

The rapid roll caused the driver, Shiko, to lose consciousness.

Chapter 221 MA and Girl

On the outskirts, Tianm was still waiting for news of the battle's end.

The battle on SIDE2 had been going on for half an hour, and he finally couldn't wait any longer... He had to consider that the worst might have happened.

Although the chances are slim, the opposing Newtypes are powerful enough to fight four against one, and even if our own units "betray" them, we cannot harm them in the slightest.

With its overwhelming strength, it directly shattered all of the Federation's plans, breaking the deadlock by force.

Can a single Neo-human be so terrifyingly powerful? Can a single machine really change the course of a battle?

Even Tiam couldn't help but begin to fear this possibility.

"Jung, please enter SIDE2 and forcefully suppress it."

"Yes."

Although the GP03D's robotic arm had broken and several missile cabinets were missing, its high-output Mega Particle Cannon and I-field were still intact.

It still has excellent suppression capabilities against ordinary MS.

Tianm didn't believe the opponent could defeat GP03D with MS.

---

The NT-1 Gundam was entangled in high-voltage cables and was quickly short-circuited by electricity.

Although Barney was still startled when he saw the machine—it was the first time he had ever seen it, and for some reason he felt a lingering fear.

Fortunately, Miss Harman had apparently communicated remotely with Aronnax before arriving, so he was prepared.

Despite the powerful suppression capabilities of the I Field, the NT-1, piloted by AI, still couldn't escape the coordinated attack from within and without. Aronnax was also rescued from the outside by Haman.

"The enemy is coming, everyone. They are very powerful."

Harman, with his keenest senses, couldn't help but look towards the distance.

"It should be that large MA," Barney reminded him.

"The other side is equipped with an I-field. I just fought with them, but I lost. Their live-fire weapons are too powerful."

"By the way, which of you is a Newtype? My MA has a Psycommu device that can use long-range floating weapons... which are also the MA's trump card, capable of launching ultra-long-range floating cannon attacks. Unfortunately, I can't use them. If someone can make good use of them, I believe they can gain an advantage in range and perception."

"I'm."

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Aronnax and Harman said at the same time.

"Ah... then who among you will take over this machine to engage the enemy?" Barney asked, somewhat perplexed.

“Haman, you go ahead. Your perception is better than mine,” Aronnax said before Haman could react. “It’s a good opportunity to gain experience in fighting powerful enemies.”
