Gundam: From Piece to Player

But humans have only been in the asteroid belt for less than 80 years, so how could evolution be so rapid... It's probably just malnutrition.

As for the fact that everyone around them is like this, it's most likely because they haven't eaten enough.

"Anyway, don't say anything more. Just stay at my house for a year and see if anything changes."

Chapter 237 Return to Earth

Kalmar did not hide the fact that Haiwen had become a member of the family.

A few days later, the senior returned, and Karma immediately moved into the basement.

The room's style is composed of simple straight lines and curves. The walls can be colored as needed, and there are moving projectors throughout, allowing for lighting changes.

Karma managed to appease his senior's dissatisfaction, and in a state of sage-like composure, he embraced her while looking at the dome-shaped screen above the bedroom.

This is an astronomical phenomenon where a star emits a gamma-ray burst before it dies.

It is one of the most powerful energy bursts in the known universe. Theoretically, it is produced by the collapse and explosion of a giant star when it runs out of fuel (supernova). No object can withstand a gamma-ray burst.

It is also one of the principles of Genesis in SEED.

Given the current level of technology, this is an impossible technology. The most difficult part is manufacturing a mirror that can reflect gamma rays—traditional mirrors are almost transparent to gamma rays.

In SEED, this is achieved with PS Armor, which is much stronger than Luna Titanium Alloy and the Gundam Nim Alloy currently under development. As long as there is enough power, this thing can even be completely immune to all physical attacks.

Achieving this requires a revolutionary material that can instantly and reversibly alter the nanostructure under an applied electric field.

Kalmar tried and could only come up with something similar to electromagnetic armor—it could use the strong current produced by the fusion reactor to melt and deflect incoming projectiles. It couldn't provide perfect defense and consumed even more power than Shazabi's chest cannon, so its application value was negligible.

Furthermore, Genesis did not consider heat dissipation—if astronomical amounts of energy were input within seconds, the enormous heat would instantly vaporize the weapon itself.

Take the light sail transportation that Kalmar has now achieved as an example. The sail needs to be fully radiated after being continuously irradiated for a while, otherwise the huge heat accumulated by the laser irradiation will melt the spacecraft directly.

What else can I say? The technology in SEED is awesome.

“Honey, how about we throw a welcome party?” the senior student asked.

"Haiwen is a bit shy, let's have her join us for the next family dinner, so she won't stand out too much."

"You need to help with this, I'm afraid I'll mess it up."

"I'll help you with anything you need, senior," Karma comforted her.

"...Will you go to Earth to find her again next year?"

Are you angry?

"No, I was hoping you would bring her back and make her the supervisor. I think she's more suited for this job than I am. I thought she was amazing back then, but I didn't expect her to be this amazing, especially since she's a new human. I'm a little worried about you going back to Earth."

"They can't possibly detain me, can they?" Karma chuckled.

"Even if she doesn't want to, what if her subordinates do? Aren't the members of the New Federation all the type who would fight you to the death?"

That's true; both Side1 and Side4 want to kill themselves.

"I definitely won't use my original name."

"You should still be careful. All the New Humans can read minds... I collaborated with Kalster to develop a device that can block brainwaves. It has successfully defended against the New Humans' mind-reading ability, and Miss Marian has already tested it."

Like Doraemon, the senior student came up with a new invention.

"Didn't we develop this before?" Karma thought for a moment. "We successfully defended against it on Lala before."

"It turns out that the stone that directly blocks brainwaves would be detected as problematic by the new humans; it's essentially an electromagnetic wave shield."

"I've also incorporated some AI technology into this, which will make the new humans mistakenly believe that they have successfully read minds, but in reality, it is the AI ​​simulating their mindset... to cover up your true psychological fluctuations and to a certain extent conceal your identity."

"...Sometimes I feel like my senior is like my mother, she thinks of everything for me."

"I am your wife, please don't project strange identities onto me."

"Just kidding."

As time marched on, on August 1, 0084, light sail technology achieved a breakthrough in the 5000-ton class.

In October of the same year, an animal transport experiment was successfully conducted—after the light sail accelerated, the animals inside survived and their vital signs were all normal.

In November, the aircraft "Cupid" was equipped with a new version of the MiR engine, increasing its maximum speed from Mach 50 to Mach 80... successfully catching up with the speed of the Messala.

Kalmar arranged for a destroyer to carry the rotation of personnel from the Pezen base, as well as prisoners of war from the Federation officer corps, to prepare for the first light sail voyage in human history.

During the acceleration and deceleration phases of the light sail voyage, the human body must enter the liquid hibernation chamber to adapt to the violent acceleration. In order to successfully eject, the combat destroyer has also been modified accordingly.

For Karma, the entire process from acceleration to deceleration was instantaneous.

He was still in the asteroid belt when he fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes again, the light sail ship and the destroyer on it had been captured by the Earth's gravity. The warships sent by the Peizeng base were already sending laser signals from a distance and had begun to provide assistance.

A few days later, the light sail generator will be launched to Earth... at which point a fast passage will be established between the Peizeng base and the asteroid belt.

In order to prevent the Federation prisoners from discovering this fact, and also to prevent them from finding the coordinates of the Pezen base (revealing the coordinates could be risky).

Kalma deliberately set the wrong timetable and delayed their wake-up time after the crew rotation on the destroyers.

The destroyer headed to Von Braun's secret port.

Upon reaching the port, the Federation prisoners, including Wakken, awoke from their slumber.

"Good morning, everyone. This is von Braun."

"Von Braun!"

"We've already brought it back from the asteroid."

The prisoners chattered amongst themselves.

"Yes, I keep my promise and will set you free in a moment. If you want to return to the Federation Army, go to Von Braun's Federation military base. The current base commander and governor is Paptimas Shilock. Of course, there are potential risks."

"Or, you can go home directly. Your federal citizenship is still valid. I'll give each of you a piece of gold as severance pay later... Given the efficiency of the federal government, if you don't cause trouble, you can most likely go into hiding."

For even greater stability, you could apply for relocation to SIDE6 or a city on the moon, and then find a fake identity on the black market. That's it.

The Federation prisoners were extremely grateful and cheered with joy at the thought of gaining their freedom.

After retrieving their luggage and severance pay, they flocked to Von Braun's port area, eager to immediately savor the taste of freedom.

Karma turned her head and saw that there were still two people left on the warship.

One is Wakin Chase, and the other is Apple Daily.

It goes without saying that Wakham was someone Colonel Apa Kalmar had seen his file.

Isn't that the captain from 0083? He's also an officer loyal to the Federation.

"Even if you two stay here, I won't give you any extra severance pay."

"Sir, may we stay a little longer? We'd like to learn more about the situation in the Earth Sphere before making a decision."

(End of Volume 4)

Warring States Period

Chapter 238 Martha, God of War and the Unicorn

"What, you're not going to leave?" Karma feigned anger. "Or are you planning to spy for the Federation Army?"

“The higher-ups treated us like pawns and caused the alliance so much trouble. Now you’re giving us freedom and severance pay… If we still think about betraying you after all this, it’s like selling the devil to Satan. I swear to the Lord, I will never betray you.”

Waken's tone was not quick, but his eyes were still firm. Karma looked at Aipa beside her, and Aipa nodded as well: "I also swear to the Lord."

Karma thought to herself, "It seems there's an unexpected bonus."

"Then you can stay if you want, but I won't take you back to the asteroid belt unless you formally submit an immigration application."

"Yes."

Wakeman and Aipa probably didn't expect him to agree so quickly.

Kalmar von Braun's decision to release the prisoners was merely a side effect; the diplomatic and military exchange delegation he led also had a mission.

The reception vehicle sent by Anaheim soon arrived at the port, and Karma also put on a wig and disguised himself with a disguise device to distort light. He now had a new alias - Galio.

Barney and the others got into the black luxury car, while Karma sat in the middle one.

“Your Excellency, you must be tired from your journey.” Wang Li, who was already sitting in the back seat, reflected that they also attached great importance to this meeting.

From their perspective, Kalmar had traveled for half a year to reach the Earth sphere, but in reality, just a few days earlier Kalmar was still in the asteroid belt.

"It's nothing. I was really shocked when I heard that Sirocco had been in contact with you guys."

“Governor Sirocco is actually quite kind, and he is indeed a genius in technological development, especially in the area of ​​MS power, which made up for the shortcomings of Anaheim Mobile Suit,” Wang Li said. “In addition, the organization’s ability to grow to this size in such a short time is indeed inseparable from his help.”

"What is the name of the new organization?"

"Titans... refers to the giants who once ruled the world in Greek mythology, symbolizing size and indestructibility."

Karma, who had been listening in silence, was also speechless—the Titans were going to show up no matter what.

After Shirok assumed the position of Governor of the Moon, in addition to unifying and managing the forces on the lunar surface and using them to fight against Zeon, he was also required by the Federation's high command.

On the other hand, it also began to collude with large companies such as Anaheim, secretly providing them with protection.

While selling helium-3 energy, they used their positions to allow space pirates, mercenaries, and bounty hunter groups to gradually absorb it and transform it into the power of the lunar conglomerate.

His own MS development skills also began to combine with the technical strength already possessed by AE.

It is said that his PMX series has been released, and its performance will be more powerful than the original.

Amro and Kado also occasionally operate within this military organization... The situation unfolds in a far more fantastical way than imagined.

The black luxury car drove into the underground bunker and began to enter Von Braun's underground area.

This place was originally a helium-3 mining well. As the enrichment of helium-3 on the surface decreased, the excavation became deeper and deeper, which inadvertently expanded the space. AE Corporation also began to build the von Braun underground city and began to move important industries underground.

Just like the ocean city built by the Jupiter Foundation beneath the Europa satellite, the federal government built the Jabro Fortress underground.

This kind of fortress built underground is just an impenetrable latrine.

Even nuclear bombs, magnifying glasses, and solar radiation systems cannot destroy it... This is fundamentally different from the fragile roll-up colony. The permanent rock layers built on lunar soil have an extremely terrifying hardness, and the only threat to them is large-mass weapons.

However, if large-scale weapons are used, occupation loses its value.

As Wang Li explained to him how strong the fortress's defenses were, Karma asked a question.
