Gundam: From Piece to Player

Upon seeing the MK-5, Christina couldn't help but exclaim, "Gundam?"

Barney looked at the MK-V and thought to himself, how could its appearance possibly be related to Gundam?

"A powerful mobile suit is a Gundam." Christina's statement is a classic example of meritocracy.

Shirou, who had piloted the Ground Type Gundam, remained silent, thinking to himself that the Ground Type GM he had piloted in the Federation was similar in performance to the Ground Type Gundam. Could it be that the Ground Type GM could also be called a Gundam?

Just as the three were discussing whether the MK-V could be considered a Gundam, the MK-V was already approaching them at full speed.

“Oh, he’s here?” Christina said.

"He's very confident in himself, taking on three opponents at once," Barney chimed in.

"Don't be too careless, you two—"

Amada Shirou was somewhat speechless. The white tiger had already drawn its beam anti-ship sword, and with the propulsion of its space backpack, it traced a C-shaped trajectory.

"come yet?"

Seeing this, Bref put away his two beam sabers and switched to a beam rifle with long-range mode. Compared to the VAZ Elf beam cannon, this weapon was more accurate and had better penetration, making it very suitable for use in ACE battles.

The beam rifle fired continuously, but the White Tiger's mobility made hitting it extremely difficult. After firing 16 beams without success, Brave also drew two beam sabers.

The MK-V's beam saber clashed with the White Tiger's ship-cutting sword.

"What a tremendous amount of effort!"

As an elite instructor from the Federation's hawkish faction, Bref sensed the difference in strength between the two machines the moment they made contact, and his two pink beam sabers deflected the opponent's impact as much as possible.

The first attack failed.

Using the rebound from the vertical slash, the white tiger transformed into a horizontal parry. The MK-V dodged the attack from an upward position and thrust its beam saber towards the tiger's leg, but was stopped by another beam short sword, the tiger's other sword.

"That works, but how about this?"

The two Incom ejected from the back of the MK-V, like two small concealed weapons, and then turned to fire at the Flying Tiger... Rather than using these things as long-range weapons, Brave preferred to use them as close-range concealed weapons.

(MK-V Gundam INCOME Launch)

The beam, equivalent to the output of a regular beam saber, pierced the beam coating on the white Flying Tiger, carving two holes in the legs and shoulders of the machine, causing damage.

"Ha, got it."

Don't be too happy yet.

Bai Feihu's beam saber instantly transformed into a beam spear, which he forcefully slashed at the bottom of the INCOME weapons. One of the INCOME weapons was freed due to the broken wires.

However, another INCOME weapon narrowly escaped the slash and fired, damaging the thrusters on Bai Feihu's feet.

Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Brave wanted to continue his attack.

However, it can only be said that he was too focused on the battle at hand.

A thick yellow beam of light engulfed the location of the MK-V, completely "biting" off its shoulder along with another INCOME. Due to the extremely close proximity, Shirou, watching his ally's Mega Particle Cannon, felt a pang of embarrassment...

Even knowing that Christina, as a Newtype, possessed exceptional spatial awareness, passing by the Mega Particle Cannon at such close range still felt like a narrow escape.

"Damn it, ambushing someone in a one-on-one fight is a despicable act."

Just as Bref looked up to see where the fire was coming from, a green Zaku appeared out of nowhere from his side and rear, its "beam" handle flashing as it stabbed at him.

Bref then realized that his attention had been diverted and that his opponent had used an unsportsmanlike three-on-one attack.

MK-V instinctively tried to block with his hand, but Brave discovered that the handle had not penetrated the cockpit.

"Ha, God help me...did it malfunction?"

Just as Brave was laughing and about to retaliate, the high-voltage electric field rising from the handle suddenly energized him, making him stiffen.

Meanwhile, facing a combined attack from two Kymco Vanguards and three Sniper Warriors, Toshu's Vaz was finally shot down due to exhaustion and fatigue.

"Christina, can you help me?"

The green Zaku then circled around to the back and firmly took control of the MK-V.

"...Barney, so you were determined to capture this Gundam from the very beginning?"

"Yes, Your Excellency enjoys collecting MS, so I plan to restore this and give it to him as a gift."

Chapter 312 Which "Gundam" Would You Choose?

At the medical center of the Peizeng base, Sima leaned against the pillows on her hospital bed, holding an electronic tablet in her hand.

The important figure in front of her, dressed in Allied military uniform, was her savior, which made her feel a little reserved.

"Sir, what is this?"

"Which body type do you prefer?" Karma asked her. "How about a Luna titanium alloy skeleton with polymer fiber muscles?"

"Is it still this memory metal skeleton + nano-molecular muscle?"

Sima felt a little embarrassed and put down the electronic board. "It feels like I'm choosing an MS."

After listening for a moment, Karma said, "What you said isn't entirely wrong: 'We are indeed choosing a mecha.'"

The immortality elixir surgery has two stages. The first stage is to implant the cultivated spinal cord brain into Sima's body. After discussing with McToni, Karma still believes that implantation is necessary...

Sima's enhancements mainly came from the Augusta Institute, which primarily focuses on strengthening muscles and increasing cardiopulmonary function, rather than specializing in brainwave enhancement. This resulted in her brainwave intensity still being somewhat low.

To increase the success rate of the experiment, we should still have Sima undergo a brain transplant... Even though her old body only has less than six months to live, we still need to enhance the effects of her brainwave abilities.

The second stage involves replicating the process of Banagher-Yasna's soul transfer, which is accomplished through the base's Sycombe sensing computer.

The new body will be made from the aforementioned original body, the cloned brain cultivated from stem cells in the bone marrow of Sima, etc., and the cultivation will begin immediately after the decision is made today.

Soul transfer is the process of achieving spiritual resonance the instant a soul and consciousness are generated in a new body—in a sense, it can be considered possession.

Of course, Banagher and Yasna will also guide Sima as they sense the computer's activation, teaching her how to invade her new body.

This thing is a black box for Kalmar. Although Banagher explained it to him—he knew every word Banagher said—he just couldn't understand it. He still had to wait until Banagher had also completed his spinal brain surgery before he could understand it.

Karma's hands-on approach also stemmed from the fact that he needed to be proficient in all the procedures should Anna's wife require the surgery in the future.

Given the current relationship between the Space Alliance and the New Federation, if things were to be done in the future, he wouldn't dare let anyone else get involved, except for Alice and his other wives.

“Sir, I’m starting to fear that the surgery will fail,” Sima said. “I’m afraid of the feeling of falling from heaven to hell, just like I did back then.”

Back then—Kalma thought for a moment, then realized that Sima was referring to the deal she made with Char.

Char promised Cima that if she could help him get rid of Kycilia, he would make her a mayor of a colony; if things had gone smoothly, she might be a high-ranking official in the Republic of Zeon by now.

However, things didn't go as planned. Due to the interference of the New Federation (because the Zeon appeared during the Enterprise rebellion, and this was no longer a secret), Kycilia died.

But Sima was also captured by the Federation... Char couldn't possibly save her when the peace treaty had just been concluded.

One can only say that a person's achievements should be considered in light of both their own efforts and the course of history.

Thinking back to the original timeline, if the deal with the Federation had gone smoothly, she could have destroyed the Delaz fleet and made a deal with the hawks, ending her days as a cosmic mayfly and retiring successfully.

Guess what? A giant refrigerator appeared out of nowhere...

Operation Star Trek was essentially a plan by the Federation hawks to use the Delaz fleet to hype up the threat of space colonization, but they messed it up completely... With just a few people in Delaz, how could the Federation possibly let them destroy the North American granary?

Sima's luck is really bad... It's almost to the point that she's being targeted by the will of the universe. Just think about how she was scapegoated during the One Year War in the original timeline.

"I won't say anything to comfort you, but Miss Sima, you don't need to think so much. Just focus on the pre-operative preparations. We are all soldiers, and death is a high-probability event for us... We just need to do our best and do everything we can, and then we'll see what happens."

Sima nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose the memory metal skeleton + nano molecular muscle: compared to attack power, this one has stronger toughness and flexibility.

After the plan was launched, the corresponding embryos were also manufactured.

The original character will be set to age 18.

Just as Karma was about to make the Elixir of Immortality a reality.

A group of visitors arrived at Pluto, a barren planet 70 billion kilometers from Earth.

After leaving the Earth Sphere, Grax de Katch headed straight here, and after a refueling with helium-3 along the way.

After spending more than half a year, the Jubilee spacecraft finally arrived at its destination, above the orbit of Pluto.

Wearing an extreme cold-weather spacesuit, Glucks Dekach led his MS search team to the designated coordinates, following the directions of Lord El's daughter.

"Lord Grax, this place looks completely empty, and the temperature is frighteningly low. Is Anna El playing a trick on us?"

His adjutant, a maid of the Callisto family, said.

Glucks remained silent, piloting the MA to slowly descend. The Psycommu system on the machine began to activate, and brainwaves were emitted layer by layer.

It wasn't Grax's own brainwaves; his MA was amplifying the energy of a silver bracelet inlaid with an orange gemstone.

The dust on the ground vibrated, and a circular hole with a diameter of 30 meters split open from both sides, making it difficult for sand and dust to enter due to the strong wind blowing out from inside.

"There really is a base!" the attendants exclaimed in surprise.

—This place is already close to the edge of the solar system.

Gluck looked at the place... the opening seemed too small for a warship and a mobile armor, more like a missile silo.

We can only go in and take a look.

“Callisto, don’t stray too far from me. This place has a very powerful defense system.”

"receive."

Defense system?

Callisto looked down at the base entrance below; the walls were very smooth. According to her understanding, the defense system should be an automatic defense system with base fortress cannons.

Could it be that they used an optical camouflage system to conceal it?

Despite their doubts, the guards, who had sworn allegiance to the Cupid Foundation, quickly followed.

Given how remote the location was, there were no MS guards stationed outside.

What they didn't know was that at that moment, about one astronomical unit (the distance from Earth to the Sun) from Pluto... a dark, rectangular celestial shadow began to slowly roll with red light, like zebra stripes.

Listening to the sound of my footsteps echoing in the hallway, I realized that there was actually a gravity generator in this place.

The bracelet continuously glowed with an orange-red light, guiding Grax to follow the arrows on the wall, and the gates opened at the appropriate times.

Clearly, this bracelet is the "key".

When Grax arrived at the end of the underground base, the digital screen in front of him began to flicker.
