Gundam: From Piece to Player

The characters in the film made his eyes widen.

Grax hadn't seen the other person for twenty years.

At the time, Ms. Al was nearly fifty years old. She had started from scratch and founded the Al Bio Group, making her a legendary figure.

At a party on Earth, he met Grax, who was not yet the heir to the conglomerate and was still unknown.

"Long time no see, Grax."

"Lord El, it's amazing to see you again."

Looking at the other person, Grax felt as if he had returned to his youth, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Chapter 313 I'll be the guardian of human civilization?

After chatting for a while at the party, Ms. El asked him if he was interested in continuing to contribute to the helium-3 energy field.

At the time, Grax was still a minor figure and immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

He quickly said he was very interested.

Ms. Al did not express her opinion at the time, but later provided herself with a considerable amount of information of unknown origin.

At first glance, these materials seemed like wild fantasies, but when the research team was guided to advance their research, they actually achieved results—it was as if they knew the direction of the technology tree.

Gradually, the development of Jupiter navigation technology also made Glax a leading figure among the younger generation of the Cupid Foundation.

This made him invincible in the succession war.

After defeating his brothers and sisters, he later arrived on Jupiter, where Ms. El provided him with the construction methods and blueprints for the Europa Underground City, as well as the blueprints for the cutting-edge MA and other technical methods.

The fleet and Jupiter colony were built at an incredible speed.

It can be said that without Ms. El, there would be no Glax as we know it today, nor the Jupiter Circle... However, this great woman suddenly passed away in 0065 due to heart problems... so Glax was unable to see her one last time.

"Now that you've come here, it means you've already seen my daughter. You should have read my will. How does it feel?"

"I found it very shocking."

What's so impressive about it?

The image before them did not appear to be a video recording, but rather some kind of AI trained based on Lord El's model, which was able to mimic Lord El's questioning habits according to Grax's answers.

"Regarding extraterrestrial civilizations, ancient human civilizations... and 'walls'."

Callisto and the others standing nearby were also somewhat incredulous at the leader's subservient attitude towards the other party.

Of course, the content of their conversation was the same.

"I never imagined that ancient human civilizations were so great in the distant past, able to build such a wall around the solar system."

“It would be more accurate to call it the sphere’s wall,” Ms. Al said. “Don’t forget, besides the zodiac, there are also the ‘celestial sphere’ above and below.”

Grax nodded quickly, agreeing that the concept of the ecliptic originated in ancient Babylonian astronomy.

In the 5th century AD, the ancient Babylonians imagined the sky as a large sphere. Through long-term observation, they discovered that the paths of the sun, moon, and planets were concentrated in the same band of sky. They divided this area into 12 constellations, which is the origin of the "Zodiac".

However, the sheer scale of such a project is even more unimaginable.

Due to the needs of economic activities, human spacecraft nowadays mostly stay within the ecliptic and rarely fly upwards or downwards.

Could ancient human civilizations have possessed such advanced technology that they could have set up a device on the celestial sphere of the solar system that could completely block the transmission of electromagnetic waves?

Wait, blocking electromagnetic waves... it might be possible if enough Minovsky particles were produced.

"Lord El, so my mission is to prevent any human spacecraft from flying out of the Kobery Belt?"

"Yes, humanity is no match for extraterrestrial civilizations now. If we go out, we will be discovered and then invaded."

"I think Lord El's worries are unnecessary. With the current technology of controlled nuclear fusion, the speed of the spaceship is extremely limited."

"Is that so?" Lord El said, then a picture was projected in front of them. "Take a look and see what this is."

The image appears to have been taken from a distance using a high-definition camera.

The target item is only a few pixels.

However, its most obvious features can also be discerned from it.

Behind the warship is a large sail, dozens of times the cross-section of the ship's hull.

"Solar sail?"

The technology of using solar wind propulsion is not uncommon, but it can only be used to save fuel and is generally used for interplanetary flight. For example, the TR-6 Silver Ray developed by the Titans had a design that could launch three solar sails.

"This is Space Alliance's laser propulsion-light sail technology. Given enough acceleration time, it can accelerate to 10% of the speed of light. If the distance is long enough, quantum communication technology can be used to further accelerate it to 20% of the speed of light."

Grax's facial muscles twitched, an inevitable conditioned reflex-like stress response—the psychological trauma from being taken advantage of so many times was now immeasurable.

Why is it that man again?

He's involved in everything, isn't he?

"Once the Space Alliance's exploration ships break out of the solar system, the existence of humanity will be immediately known to extraterrestrial civilizations. At that time, facing extraterrestrial civilizations, the currently weak human civilization will have no power to fight back."

"Lord El, are you implying that human civilization can never leave the solar system? Can't we just leave secretly? Using methods that alien civilizations can't detect, like spreading Minovsky particles while flying?"

“Glax, you need to think from the perspective of the villains. Have you considered what would happen if those anti-human and antisocial elements knew this information?”

It could be said that he has a talent for being wicked... Grax instantly understood how to "destroy" humanity.

—Just get a few light sailboats and head out.

There are indeed some people in society who want the world to be destroyed—because they are desperate about life and society, and want to use extraterrestrial civilizations to wipe out humanity.

Although he wished he could set the Earth Sphere ablaze, Glaxus himself did not want to destroy humanity.

He endorses true "astronauts"—even if they are from Space Alliance.

After all, while Kalma Zabi was a formidable enemy, it also proved that successful space colonization in exoplanetary environments is the direction of human evolution.

He can also turn a few half-baked space colonists and Earthlings on the side into spinning tops.

"Lord El, do you mean to destroy the Space Alliance's light sail technology?"

"Do you think Kalma Zabi wouldn't keep backups of technology? You need to be prepared to intercept it."

For some reason, Grax, who was a villain just a few days ago, is now suddenly taking on the responsibility of "guardian of human civilization" and is not quite used to it.

"But light sail technology... if it can be accelerated, Jupiter's current technology can't catch up."

"Have you heard of the Minovsky levitation system?" Al asked again.

“I’ve heard from intelligence personnel that the Pegasus-class used this technology, and there are future scenarios for its miniaturized application on mobile suits,” Glax replied.

"Have you ever thought about making Minovsky particles interfere with each other? This interference will generate a special 'Minovsky reaction force field.' Since it can levitate, why can't it be used for propulsion?" Lord El described, "Through such a propulsion system, a large number of Minovsky particles or plasma will be 'ejected' backward, continuously releasing force field energy to obtain forward propulsion. Wouldn't that achieve 'propellantless' propulsion technology?"

After only a brief description, Grax was once again stunned... The principle is so clear now, all that's left is the application of physics. As long as we follow this direction, there's a high probability that we can make it.

How did Lady El know so much technology? Could it be that she discovered the ruins of some ancient human civilization before she died?

Chapter 314 The terrifying MS that can outperform MA

If it were Lord El alive, Grax wouldn't have dared to ask such a question.

But now that the other person is dead, he has become bolder:

"Lord El, where did you obtain these technical documents?"

"...because I have the ability to foresee the future."

"what?"

"After all, I am a new human."

The abilities of the New Humans do indeed contain many unsolved mysteries.

The new humans can also foresee the future in a short period of time, but long-term divination is rather fantastical.

Because of Ms. El's matter-of-fact tone... Grax became suspicious.

Is it common sense that modern humans can foresee the future?

“Glax… Now that you’re at the Pluto base, could you help me bring some things?”

As if the other party were the master of this base, the digital screen slowly went out, and the screen in front of us split in two.

A mechanical door appeared, and Grax passed through it.

Grax also saw what was hidden behind the scenes.

This is a mobile suit whose limbs and torso are in proportions far removed from those of a human.

"Please take this MS to my daughter."

The skylight above the MS also opened, making it look like it was ready to launch. This was the missile silo-like device that everyone had seen from the outside.

This is below the well, and there's a round cover in the middle, so we couldn't see the machine earlier.

This machine looked very powerful, which aroused an unusually strong evil thought in Callisto behind Glask.

She whispered to Grax via telepathy, "Lord Grax, now that the lady is dead, why not try to take her for ourselves?"

[If you want to take it for yourself, you can try, as long as you can start this MS.]

As if aware of their telepathic communication, everyone present heard the voice.

“You said it yourself, Lord El.” Callisto rushed forward.

The cockpit at the front of the aircraft is open.

Callisto quickly jumped up, and Grax didn't know why his subordinate seemed inexplicably excited.

"Wait, Callisto, don't start it yet."

However, it was too late; Callisto had disobeyed his orders.

The instant the cockpit closed, the dual displays on the nose of the aircraft lit up—

It's a Gundam!

The V-shaped antenna can be activated without any password, and the fact that it remains unlocked is also a characteristic of Gundam.

"Lord Grax, the energy of this machine is extraordinary. I feel that as long as I pilot this machine, no one in the Earth Sphere can defeat me."
