Gundam: From Piece to Player

"Why is your organization's Newtype, Aronnax, always hostile towards me? He even punched me on purpose when he came back."

Grax still harbored resentment over someone's attack on him upon returning that day.

That's incredibly rude of that young man; he has absolutely no respect for himself.

“Mr. Grax, Aronnax is a rather simple and honest man. He has reservations about Jupiter’s environment and institutions. If you could improve the lives of the people, I think he would change his mind. With Jupiter’s current productivity, surely it shouldn’t be so bad that it can’t even accommodate the weak?”

These words were somewhat cutting, and Grax's face darkened: "Then what about my wife?"

“Miss Serena, I have put her into hibernation. In order to ensure that my mother’s plan can be implemented smoothly, please forgive me for taking her hostage... You can see what she looks like now if you want, or you can try the hibernation pod if you don’t want to wait.”

“I already have some plans for this.” Grax’s face showed a struggle, but he still put forward his idea: “I hope that Lord El can open up the training technology and drugs for the new humans.”

"You can send people to learn, but I can't trust you if you want the core technology."

His request was rejected, and Grax could only suppress his resentment, but it seemed insignificant compared to the information he had learned today.

Does humanity really need him to save its fate?

Only after watching Grax Dekach leave did Aronnax, who had used optical camouflage to become invisible, reappear.

"Didn't I tell you not to bother with him?" Anna asked with a smile, leaning back in her chair.

"I couldn't help but punch him because he was so annoying. I used to think that when a person turned from an ordinary person into a villain, it was because they had encountered misfortune. But now it seems that it may also be due to extreme selfishness."

"It seems he left you with quite a psychological scar."

Aronnax's expression darkened: "To me, he is the root of all evil; more than 50% of the troubles in my life are related to him."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about him anymore." Anna stood up, put her hands behind her back, and said, "I wonder how the children's first combat mission is going."

"You're worrying too much. Strategically, Commander Brad will lead the Albion, and in terms of operations, Shiko and Yazan are also accompanying them. There won't be any major problems."

Update will be a little later

The next chapter might not be updated until 8 PM tonight. I was busy last night and couldn't write.

Chapter 284 Spirit Realm

With the immigration plan finalized, the situation in the Earth Sphere escalating, and the Federation's hawkish diplomacy failing... they failed to realize that they were now virtually surrounded by enemies, both internally and externally.

The Space Alliance will launch a larger-scale military operation, working in conjunction with the Earth Sphere forces to destroy the Federation's hawkish regime's violent guarantee—all fleets and mobile suits—within a year.

Without the guarantee of violence, their plans to relocate colonies would become nothing more than a pipe dream.

The purpose of the Federation hawks' colonial plan gradually came to light—to strengthen the Federation's central government's control over the universe, excessively concentrate superior resources, allow them to succeed, establish "holy sites," and create a group of "space celestial dragons."

From any perspective, Karma couldn't find a reason not to fight them.

After the battle with the Lunar Legion, he immediately returned to the Pezen base.

After his proposal was unanimously approved by the Alliance's military committee, the Alliance began to establish an expeditionary force... The purpose of establishing this expeditionary force was not to defeat the Federation hawks, but to ensure the implementation of the Alliance's immigration plan, and he naturally became the commander of the expeditionary force.

Meanwhile, because it needs to accommodate the Alliance's fleet of 80 ships, 300 mobile suits, and Marine brigade, the Peizen base is undergoing a major expansion, including the expansion of the docking pier and living quarters. Haiwen will also be able to fly over via solar sails in a while, specifically to guide civil engineering work.

Compared to their home in the Space Alliance, this place is less than 60 square meters, which can be considered a work dormitory, but it is mainly where they live with 6-year-old Banagher.

At 6:40 a.m. that morning, Karma woke up in bed to find the pillow next to hers empty.

Then I smelled the aroma of food.

I glanced into the kitchen and saw Banagher wearing an apron, standing on a small stool, holding a spatula, frying eggs and other ingredients in a frying pan.

"Good morning, Uncle Gaman. Breakfast will be ready soon."

"Okay, be careful too, don't get burned by the oil." Karma walked over and patted the child's head.

"Ah."

It wasn't that Karma taught him this skill on her own initiative; I heard that Banagher already knew this skill when he was in the orphanage... I understand that he is trying to repay the kindness he received.

Karma originally only wanted to find a son-in-law, but now she's increasingly considering taking him in as her godson.

The boy, with his lonely puppy-like appearance, was so endearing that he began to understand why his niece had chosen him.

It just so happens that during this expedition, Serena, the third sister-in-law, is also taking Mineva back to SIDE3 to visit her family. Elbi will also be coming with Haywin. Let's see how their chemistry works before making a decision.

After breakfast, Karma took Banagher to the mental energy research experimental field within the Pezen base.

Next to the lab is the frozen meat storage... no, the hibernation area.

The enhanced female characters are all asleep here because they require various medications to maintain their condition.

This can only be achieved by him conquering the relevant facilities at the Murasame Research Institute and finding the method to manufacture the drug.

In the center of the experimental field, there was a precious sample that Karma had brought back from SIDE3. The MS was fixed to the wall by the connecting arm, and the pious mechanical movements had a sacred feeling, like Jesus trapped on the cross.

It is said that a soul was sealed within the body's Pyromaniac system.

During each power-on experiment of the internal Sycommu system, special brain waves could be detected being released from the body.

On the front of this machine is a cube-shaped device with a diameter of 15 meters, which is also the world's largest Psycommu sensor computer.

It is composed of tens of thousands of microcomputer components, capable of capturing extremely small brainwave signals, and when operating at full power, it can be seen to display rainbow-like colors from the outside.

This is essentially a larger version of the telepathic framework.

Due to technological limitations, it cannot be miniaturized yet, but it can be mounted on a MA.

This thing is extremely expensive, just like building a particle collider.

It can only be said that without real ability, doing scientific research is more wasteful than gambling.

Gambling can be stimulating even if you lose, but sometimes spending a lot of money on scientific research only yields useless conclusions... However, all the great theoretical breakthroughs in human civilization were found through these useless, massive tests and experiments, and there's really no way around it.

Karma also had Elobi and Marian conduct experiments, creating a mental chat room with two Psycommu devices... According to Marian's hand-drawn sketch after the experiment, the new humans could "confirm" each other's existence in a certain alternate dimension.

Karma named the chat room "Spirit Realm".

"Uncle Gaman, is it the same as last time?"

"Yes, if you feel bad, you should talk about it. I'm right behind you."

Banagher opened the door of the cube device, sat in the front seat, and put on the specially made helmet.

Karma sat in the back seat.

While watching the displays of various devices and instruments, we are also recording various data.

Because Karma is not a Newtype, he can only judge the specific situation based on this data.

I don't know what Banagher can see; every time I ask the child, he just stares blankly into space...

Could it be that they encountered some kind of subspace sprite? Or perhaps an extraterrestrial demon?

After signaling "OK" to the personnel in the laboratory, the machine and the Psycommu cube were simultaneously powered on.

That does conform to the laws of physics.

Without external devices, the new humans can only sense things from a distance; mind reading is already their limit.

Similar effects on real-world skills (like cheating) still require energy consumption, and at least one machine must be equipped with a psicomu device.

In comparison, the Star Wars universe allows for actions like striking lightning with bare hands or choking someone from a distance, which just goes to show that there are differences between miracles.

From the first experiment, there were five rounds of experiments over six months. After each experiment, Karma would give Banagher a comprehensive physical examination, including brainwave and functional tests.

This is the sixth experiment.

After the power was turned on... the instruments read all normal, and the central computer recorded the valuable experimental data.

The brainwave amplifier was set to its rated value, but after ten minutes, Kalmar noticed that Banagher's brainwave intensity was increasing abnormally.

"Should we stop the experiment?" Karma asked McToni, her hand already on the emergency stop button.

“Wait a moment, sir!” McToni said immediately, his tone quite firm.

"What's the situation now? Is there any danger?"

"The brainwave frequencies and wavelengths of both sides are currently matching, and if the power is cut off now, unexpected situations may occur."

Fitting?

Each new human has a different brainwave frequency and waveform, which is why powerful new humans can quickly perceive the differences between people, while some with weaker abilities cannot distinguish between humans and animals from a distance.

Kalmar had no choice but to wait for the fitting to occur before cutting off the power.

"Banaji?"

"Uncle Gaman".

Fortunately, Banagher slowly woke up after the experiment and seemed to be fine.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly mature experiment actually has some dangers, so let's pause it for now.

Chapter 285 Different Accounts, Same Body

Although Banagher was reluctant to get checked.

Following the experiment, Banagher was quickly taken by Kalmar for a full physical examination.

His physical indicators and brainwave patterns all showed that he was in excellent health.

There's nothing wrong with that... yeah right.

That night, after finishing her work, Karma returned to her dormitory at 10 p.m. and took Banagher to the bathhouse for a soak.

Because land at the Pei Zeng base is extremely valuable, male and female dormitories are separated, and a huge public bathhouse and multiple shower rooms are set up for every twenty people.

This ensures that the hot water temperature for showering is sufficient, and it is also very convenient to upgrade. It is like an alternative hot spring, and it has received rave reviews after being set up.

Just as I was about to take him into the public bathhouse, little "Banaji" became reluctant to go in, his hands tightly wrapped in a bath towel.

"Uncle Gaman, I can take a shower in the shower room."

That's strange, Banagher used to like taking baths.

"Are you okay washing by yourself? Do you want to—?"

"No need, I'm already 6 years old~".

"Well, Banagher has grown up too."
