Gundam: From Piece to Player

Is this the next-generation mass-produced machine that the Republic of Zeon is about to put into mass production?

Karma couldn't help but speculate that the performance seemed quite balanced, and if that was the case, Zmad Corporation would be able to win the order.

Seeing this, Deejet also drew his beam saber and began flying towards the machine.

Seeing this, Drayson swung his long-handled beam axe at Dijon... Dijon dodged to the side, but Drayson countered with a slash, slicing off the tip of the beam axe.

Xia's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Chapter 299 Mass Production of the "Theta" Series

Dresen's monitor shrank...it looked like his pupils were trembling.

Then he took a flying kick head-on.

Deeja leaped into the air, his beam saber already plunging into Drayson's cockpit.

In a single exchange, Qiu Ni was vaporized by the beam saber before she could even utter her last words.

As expected, enhanced humans are no match for top-tier Newtypes like Haman Kahn.

Incompetent.

In terms of brainwave ability, they were completely outmatched.

Their technology and combat awareness are completely outdated.

Since 79, Harman has been following Anna around the Earth Sphere, killing people. It is conservatively estimated that he has a record of shooting down 100 aircraft.

Is it possible to force a 50/50 split?

"Quni... was taken down in less than a minute." Xia Ya was still somewhat incredulous.

Karma didn't think it was an exaggeration; Queny hadn't even lasted five rounds in a one-on-one fight with Amuro.

With danger looming once again, Karma didn't care about anything else.

I originally wanted to carry Char and keep running, but then I realized that I still couldn't keep up with the speed of the mobile suit.

AI analysis spotted a storm drain cover nearby, so Karma went over, yanked it open, and jumped in without a second thought.

It was quite deep; Karma felt like she flew for two seconds.

"Char, jump!"

Karma's voice could be heard coming from the bottom of the well.

Char heard the increasingly loud buzzing of the rice furnace in the air, and after looking at the deep pit in front of him, he also chose to jump in.

Just 3 seconds later, the 60mm machine gun kicked up a cloud of dust in the area near the manhole cover, but by the time Dijk arrived, the attack was over.

Through the view transmitted back from the machine... Harman on the small boat opened his eyes.

She was controlling the whole thing remotely.

"Were those two bad guys, Sister Haman?" Judau was also startled by Haman's reaction just now, because it seemed that Haman had summoned the MS without any regard for anything, just to kill those two passersby on horseback.

"One is the originator of the Great Britain Plan, the mastermind behind the extermination of 8 million people in Zahn and Muya; the other is Caspar Rem Deikun, the current leader of the Republic of Zeon."

Harman answered selectively.

Hearing Haman's words, Judau couldn't help but recall the rumors he had heard as a child: "That guy really is a terrible villain. Is Haman chasing after him too?"

“I don’t want to go into the sewers…it stinks there.” Harman turned his gaze back to Judau. “We still need to continue the ‘intelligence gathering’ mission.”

Judau understood Haman's unspoken meaning and picked up his oar, starting to paddle vigorously.

The well was a bit damp, but the smell wasn't as strong as I'd imagined. Xia looked at Karma walking in front of him and asked:

"Kalma, what's wrong with your body?"

After calming down, Char also noticed something that didn't make sense.

"You mean that one... It was slightly modified, and part of its body was integrated into the machine. Otherwise, as you can see, the new humans are just too powerful. Your guard, if I may be so bold, is like a counterfeit meeting the real thing."

Char listened to Karma's words and said, "Didn't you ever think about limiting them?"

"You mean after eliminating Jamitov, the coalition forces should turn their attention to them?"

"Shouldn't it be like this? Before the situation gets completely out of control."

"If you think our allied forces alone can defeat them, you're underestimating the Newtype holy land of Shangri-La."

"What if I used weapons of mass destruction?"

"Don't you have a satellite cannon? You can try... bombarding Shangri-La and see if it works."

Karma said something terrible, in a half-joking tone.

Char didn't ask any further questions, and the topic came to an end.

Walk upwind from the well, and you'll see a steel mesh fence ahead.

“It seems this path is blocked,” Xia said.

"Not necessarily."

To Char's astonishment, a 1-meter-long blade popped out from Karma's right arm, and under the influence of the electric current, a slight high-frequency vibration appeared on the blade.

Karma poked several stress points on the steel mesh a few times, then kicked it, sending the mesh flying several meters away.

The two successfully escaped.

To avoid encountering too many of the Daken faction's vulgar people, Karma bid farewell to Char before they arrived.

The following morning, Kalma arrived at the meeting place as invited and participated in the multi-party talks set up in the hotel.

After some tedious small talk, Sirocco, representing the lunar side, stood on the podium to continue boosting everyone's confidence.

"The Republican Army has 40 warships, we on the moon have 35 warships, and the Alliance has 15. That gives us 90 warships. As far as I know, the Federation has no more than 50 warships in the Azure Noah, even by the most exaggerated estimate. So the combat power ratio is 90 to 50, and the advantage is on our side."

"Governor, have you considered the enhanced human forces? I've heard that the Murasame Legion's equipment is exceptionally powerful. I've heard that their factory in Solomon is also [Woodwood], and they even have a monster nicknamed [Silver Thunder]." Karma interrupted with a laugh, "You can't be that optimistic."

"Your Excellency, you may not know this, but I have also heard of the Murasame Legion. However, there is no need to worry excessively; I already have a countermeasure in place." Sirocco pressed a button. "Let me formally introduce to you the sixth MS of Project Z, the Theta series. I have specially planned a special firepower unit consisting of four squadrons (36 units)."

In the on-screen footage, the Theta series is being rapidly rolled off the production line in the dock of the Jubilee.

(Theta series mass production model)

Upon seeing the appearance of these mobile suits, Char's expression became uneasy. They were clearly models designed by the Moon to rival the Dreyson, and their design concept was also based on the Dinosaur model.

Karma certainly recognized the machine; once the cheap sunglasses were replaced with a Gundam head, everyone would recognize it.

(θ series prototype MSZ-010)

The core fighter jet splitting and transformation combination technology used in the original world line ZZ was too expensive and too complex, making it a nightmare for the maintenance crew.

With the support of Sirocco's technological capabilities, the θ Gundam mass production model was able to maintain a certain level of productivity while preserving its basic performance.

Although still a major electricity consumer, it has solved the lunar people's fear of insufficient firepower and fear of close combat... The lunar pilots are generally quite afraid of death.

The Titans' enhanced humanoid mechs generally employ I-fields, but I-fields do not always solve all problems; as long as the output is sufficient, their energy consumption can also skyrocket.

In the end, the battle comes down to the power generation capacity and energy storage of the mobile suits. At this point, building dozens of high-speed, heavy-firepower turrets is obviously more cost-effective than betting on a few mobile armors.

Chapter 300 You don't take assassination seriously... you bastard

Since Sirocco said so, it naturally means that he has taken on the task of containing and eliminating the Murasame army.

Char's task was to conquer the Blue Noah Fortress... Since Char could now activate the satellite cannon located in SIDE3, this assault mission wasn't particularly difficult.

As for Karma's responsibilities... they were probably related to the number of fleets he brought. Sirocco appointed him as the general reserve force, responsible for supporting various locations.

This also subtly prevented Karma from so legitimately sharing the spoils of victory... If he still wanted to take it, it would be tantamount to disrupting the lunar-Zeon-Union economic order built around Helium-3 in the Earth Sphere.

But Sirocco actually misjudged one thing.

His friendship with Char was stronger than he had imagined. Just as many people thought Char's base was the Deiken faction, that was only half true. This was also a smokescreen for Char... The Supreme Commander's base was actually his Newtype forces and a group of newly recruited young talents.

However, the Sirocco link wasn't as important as he had imagined.

He can be replaced.

The meeting lasted about two hours, just as all the important matters had been settled.

The hotel floor trembled slightly.

It looked like an earthquake, but fear was useless to the residents of Sweet Springs. An "earthquake" in the colony meant disintegration—no one would survive.

But now the situation is different; this place is under long-range artillery fire.

The MS troops outside are firing, targeting a MA, and the MA is faster than the muzzle of the escorting MS troops' guns.

Meanwhile, the MA simultaneously launched a large number of floating missiles, which shot towards the escorting MS units like arrows, quickly paralyzing several MS.

Upon seeing this, the two Ritchie Diaz vehicles following behind activated their full thrusters to give chase.

The MA moved calmly and methodically through the mirror layer, demonstrating considerable tactical awareness—making Diaz hesitant to fire excessively, fearing that firing would shatter the mirror layer and cause the already fragile "Oasis" to disintegrate.

"Everyone, please take refuge in the underground level. The Federation is aware of our meeting and is trying to disrupt the successful progress of the alliance meeting."

Sirocco walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and spoke.

Good grief, they immediately classified it as an attack.

Karma watched as the MA on the virtual screen in her hand ignited Diaz's pursuing mobile suit in close combat. The mobile suit was painted in the Federation's blue paint scheme and bore the Federation's insignia, which looked rather out of place.

As the others were leaving to take refuge, Karma patted Sirocco on the shoulder from behind.

"Your Mightiness?"

"I'm going to meet that MS and see who's so audacious as to interfere with the Allied Forces' important meeting."

"Your Excellency, your health is of utmost importance and you should not take unnecessary risks."

"Don't worry, everything is under control."
