Gundam: From Piece to Player

"So, from beginning to end, this was all a feint?"

Wood belatedly realized that everything was part of the other party's scheme.

Chapter 294 What do ordinary humans have to pay to defeat enhanced humans?

Two hours after the attack.

Blue Noah received the triple bad news that the research institute had been attacked, data had been stolen, and Dr. Murasame had been captured.

For the federal radicals who are already busy dealing with the new Federation and the new humans, this is undoubtedly a devastating blow.

Problems are everywhere, and fires need to be put out everywhere.

But Djamitov could neither afford nor dare to spare his precious elite troops at this moment.

The only option was to order the Federation Earth Forces Command to eliminate this group of ruthless bandits who were constantly on the move.

The Earth Federation Forces dared not be negligent and began to organize the navy to carry out anti-submarine operations against this rampant Space Alliance force.

In just one night, three carrier strike groups were deployed, with destroyers towing sonar to scan areas of the ocean.

Anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters were dispatched 300 times, dropping 400 sonar buoys and nearly 5000 depth charges and anti-submarine rockets.

Marine life in the nearby waters suffered greatly as a result.

As for whether it was detected and then exploded, that's none of your business.

At least you can hear a sound, right?

While the Federation forces were blasting fish in the Mariana Trench, the submarine force had already returned to its secret base and begun preparations for space travel.

Karma finally met this novice doctor who had caused countless sufferings for enhanced humans and liked to "modify" humans as mobile suits.

"I never expected to meet the greatest hero in the world today."

"Even if you say nice things, I won't give you any special treatment, you bastard..."

"But you must be interested in my research, otherwise you could have just killed me in the base, there would have been no need for all this trouble."

After Dr. Murasame was captured, he initially resisted, but he realized that the Space Alliance wanted the technology in his mind.

Once he was certain that he wouldn't be killed, he became emboldened.

Karma certainly wouldn't kill this guy... He'd give him a reprieve until he'd squeezed every last drop of value out of him, and then decide whether to kill him or extract his brain to make a thinking machine or something.

There are roughly three technologies he could come up with.

Once the drug formula for the enhanced humans is obtained and the antidote is successfully developed, the enhanced humans can be gradually thawed.

Enhanced human technology that turns humans into Newtypes.

What Karma was most interested in was the modification surgery that Du had undergone to withstand the onslaught of the Newtype aces.

"Oh, are you very interested in the technology implemented on Number Two?"

"She once fought against two Newtypes and one ace with just one MS, which proves that it is possible for ordinary people to defeat Newtypes by modifying themselves."

"I knew it! Haha, she really is a masterpiece."

"What surgery did you perform on her?"

"Well... I'm afraid you won't understand the greatness of it."

Karma was getting a little too cocky, and he gave Alice a wink behind him.

Alice then pressed the switch.

"Mmm... Ahhh!"

Dr. Murasame's chair was connected to a high-voltage power source. As the current was activated, Dr. Murasame's entire body swayed with it, giving him a taste of Yang's electrotherapy treatment for internet addiction.

"Be honest, we have no obligation to abide by the Antarctic Treaty for scum like you. Speak up."

"Stop, I'll tell you everything, just stop shocking me."

Stimulated by the electric current, Dr. Murasame broke out in a cold sweat and finally uncovered the secret of Du Murasame.

The modified Du has three brains: one in her spinal cord and one in her abdomen, which are the spinal brain and abdominal brain, respectively. These two brains were cultivated from stem cells in her body and then connected to the original neural network through the cultivation of the nervous system. To use a plant analogy, it's like a grafting surgery.

First of all, her own brain... that is, the original main brain, was basically not enhanced.

This is also why she has almost no drug dependence, and her function is no different from that of an ordinary person.

The spinal cord and brain that Du has along the spine are specifically designed for the release of NEW-TYPE abilities. It is the area that releases SWSM factors during cultivation, which is why Du can acquire quite impressive NT abilities.

—This spinal cord also has a dormancy function, which can induce the primary brain and related brain regions to enter a dormant state...

By minimizing the release of their own brainwave signals, they can achieve the effect of becoming invisible to the new humans.

The third brain serves as a backup for consciousness; it's more like a second brain, and it can also take over basic functions like breathing and digestion when the main brain is damaged.

Xiao Du... you're still Xiao Qiang!

Despite being anti-human, Dr. Murasame is undeniably a genius. Even though Du is a natural-born guinea pig, it doesn't change the fact that she was originally just an ordinary person—who would have simply become a speed bump for NEW-TYPE.

It's like ordinary people can also fight against those gifted chosen ones through modification—in terms of strength, the new humans are not as invincible as imagined.

Karma didn't know whether, in the eyes of the pure-blooded blue cosmos, this was more blasphemous than that of the genetically modified adjusters.

But in his view, humanity's journey into the stars is inevitable and evolution is inevitable... and this evolution cannot passively wait for natural selection, just as God created man in seven days.

In the universe, humanity must become its own god.

In addition to the previous successful soul transplant attempts, Karma believes it is time to start research on the "new type of human." When the original body's lifespan is about to end, it may be possible to transfer the soul to a bio-mechanical body that is faster, more powerful, and more sensitive.

This seems to be the only way to counter the normalization and large-scale NEWTYPE movement of awakening.

Char's technology is already very advanced. As a Newtype with poor abilities, he is able to defeat Newtypes with stronger abilities thanks to his excellent skills.

What about two, three, five...? With the expansion of the New Federation and the increase in population, it is not a problem to form a NEWTYPE army of several hundred or a thousand people.

Even if Char can take on ten opponents at once, it won't make a difference if his Newtype team can also take on ten opponents at once.

Some might say they don't want war, they want peace... but if the Newtype army of the New Federation becomes powerful enough to easily destroy a country, then there will be no such thing as equality, only a subordinate relationship.

Freedom and destiny become a joke; only divine will remains in the world.

The New Federation's belligerence and aggression have reached their peak... after all, they have made unifying the Earth Sphere their established goal.

Karma had a vague feeling that Anna was deliberately putting this pressure on him, as if she wanted to see just how far he could go.

"Dr. Murasame, I have a question."

Karma moved a chair and sat down in front of him.

"Please speak," Dr. Murasame replied, now completely echoing his words.

"Who else did you perform this surgery on? I mean, just this triple hemisphere placement surgery... what's the success rate?"

Chapter 295 We'll Destroy Zeon Next Year (Please Subscribe!)

"Of the three cases we've done, only Du's was successful. In the other cases, one receptor couldn't withstand it and died, and in the third case, only one brain was activated, while the other brain failed to function."

Did you perform all the surgeries?

Dr. Murasame nodded.

30%... or even lower success rate?

From this perspective, Xiao Du's value is increasing. Karma thought that once they reach space, she would have to bring her back to the Space Alliance.

Successful experiences are invaluable. As the only living patient to undergo the modification surgery, it is also necessary to assess lifespan and any other abnormalities in daily life.

"Dr. Murasame, I have a task for you. You must now teach Alice the basics of this surgery. She is a genius in biology and has a photographic memory."

Dr. Murasame looked at Alice with a hint of fear in his eyes: "Who exactly is this woman? She is immune to my brainwave attacks and has such strong physical abilities."

"That's because of this brainwave shielding device," Kalma said, pulling out a small instrument and lying without batting an eye.

"Don't underestimate our Space Alliance. You are only slightly better than us in biotechnology, but in the fields of brainwave research and mechanics... the Space Alliance's science and technology are number one in the world."

Murasame still looked skeptical.

Alice followed after the guy was put back in the temporary cell.

"Brother, I don't know anything about medicine."

“Why not just learn it on the spot?” Karma said. “Your finger dexterity is down to the micrometer level. No one in clinical medicine can match you. If you don’t understand something, you can ask McToni… I don’t trust this guy to go on the operating table and perform surgery on others again.”

In the following days, besides organizing research materials, I also interrogated those bastards at the Murasame Research Institute.

Kalmar focused his attention on the universe.

Two weeks after the attack on the Murasame Research Institute, the battle finally came to a conclusion.

The Federation successfully repelled the attack from the New Federation, but the Azure Noah was almost half destroyed.

According to the intelligence sent back by Barney, two battles broke out in the SIDE7 area: one was an urban battle that took place inside the Blue Noah, and the other was a space battle between the enhanced human forces and the Albion on the outer perimeter.

According to Barney's analysis, the two battles are related.

Because the mothership was attacked by the enhanced human army, the Zeon launched an attack on the Blue Noah... in an attempt to relieve the siege of Wei and force the enemy to return to their defense.

However, the hawks had already made preparations, ambushing two Psycho Gundams.

From a tactical perspective, the Federation hawks did a better job, while from a luck perspective, the New Federation was luckier.

Just as the Zeon derivative and two psychotic Gundams were locked in a fierce battle on Blue Noah, a golden mobile suit and a transformable mobile suit joined the battle... Garma thought he was watching "Gundam Zeta Gundam," it was just too familiar.

Amuro and Camus... how could he not know them?

The three machines worked together to destroy the two Psycho Gundams, and then launched a massive attack on the Blue Noah military base.

They started attacking military factories and destroying energy facilities, while other grunt mobile suits also tried to launch defensive operations, but they were still crushed everywhere.

The Federation hawks had no choice but to withdraw the Murasame Legion, which was attacking the Albion... If they didn't withdraw, the Azure Noah would be dismantled.

In that case, the New Federation might be able to calm down for a while, and then it will be Karma's turn to shine.

—The federal doves are lying low now, aren't they? They should try to come out when the time comes, otherwise the fate of the 7 million people in the Side will be hard to predict.

At this moment, the Albion is sailing alongside the Ireland-class destroyers.

The New Federation is welcoming guests from the moon, as a way of thanking them for their assistance in the battle.
