Gundam: From Piece to Player

They chatted about some patrol details before seeing Watt off.

The two returned to the company. Manager Thiago was busy dispatching engineers to deal with the damage, while Hartman stood by like a guard. He had enjoyed himself and knew how capable these two were, but he realized that was all in the past. Now, they were clients.

The customer got to drive the vehicle himself and experience a real-life version of the flying tank adventure – it's terrifying to even think about.

"Mr. Garman, I'm so sorry to have startled you."

In Thiago's view, the order had fallen through.

Safety is the bottom line. Regardless of production efficiency, Mr. Gaman, who has faced life-threatening situations, is a normal person and would not write anything positive in a procurement inspection report.

"Your Jinte Company has a good ability to withstand risks. This is the first time I have ever seen a mining company that has been attacked by pirates and still managed to wipe out all the pirates on its own."

"Mr. Garman?"

Thiago is truly at a loss now.

"I know that the mines have been harassed by pirates. Security costs are part of the company's costs. I am very satisfied with your performance. Someone will contact you soon. Also, Mr. Hartman is indeed a veteran of war. He was very brave in the battle and protected our safety. Please do not be stingy with rewards. If possible, promote him."

"Really? Hartman's performance just now was indeed impressive."

Hartmann wanted to say something more, but Hathaway winked at him, and remembering the contact information from earlier, he instantly understood their intention...

What a kind person!

Two months later, Thiago, the manager, found that the orders had indeed come in, and other people were contacting them, but he could no longer find those two clients.

However, the series of support measures for mining companies introduced by the government later inevitably raises questions.

In the "War Graveyard," corrupt officers who were found to be illegally selling state assets were arrested... and laws were enacted to regulate the sale of military supplies.

However, considering the actual needs of asteroid mining companies before the pirate raids are completed, the military will revive a bunch of Wolf Fighter anti-aircraft vehicles from the War Graveyard and lease them to mining companies at an incredible price.

Of course, when transferring to another location, it is necessary to cooperate with the local air police department, including the registration and testing of the relevant pilots... It's not just about driving skills; only people with a sense of justice can drive.

Compared to the Type 88, this thing can use high-performance radar and Mega Particle Cannon, making its anti-MS capability the strongest of its time.

"Can you drive this thing, Hartmann?"

Thiago looked at Hartman, who was already sitting in the driver's seat of the Fighting Wolf and eager to try it out.

"Don't underestimate me, it's no problem."

Chapter 384 Biochemical Brain Research

Kalmar and Hathaway conducted similar industry surveys four more times.

Every time, we see both good and bad aspects. Some problems can be addressed immediately by urging relevant departments to resolve them, while others are long-standing issues. Of course, many new problems arise as soon as old ones are dealt with.

Even investigations are not comprehensive; they may only be one-sided. Some problems and hidden dangers may not be visible, and these problems will eventually come to light and become lessons for history.

“Your Excellency, I finally understand that ‘it is easy to conquer the world on horseback, but difficult to govern it on foot.’”

Hasawi said.

“Genghis Khan.” Karma frowned. “I don’t think the Mongols were really governing back then; they were outsourcing it all.”

Just like the Earth Federation, they don't care about anything else as long as they can raise tax revenue.

So Kalmar was actually curious about how the new Federation would handle grassroots governance—whether it was similar to the Earth Federation or if there were other new breakthroughs.

The 19 billion euros used by the new federal government for ransom also arrived in the account within three months, and Kalma called Hassavi to his side.

"Does Your Excellency wish for my return?"

"Because in a while, the adults in both my and Char's families who are over forty will have to go into hibernation... There are two reasons for this. First, the second upgrade of the Antimatter Gundam still needs time. Second, we can't use our aging bodies to deal with enemies in their prime."

After Karma realized that Aronnax was actually Tobias, the possibility that the other party was a time traveler was almost 100%.

This also means that "Anna" is a pseudonym, and she and Tobias should be from the same era.

Unfortunately, he had never read pirate comics, so he didn't know who she was.

"Hasavi, just like we did in our previous investigations, you should learn how your country is governed. We're not asking you to be a spy, because the Space Alliance will no longer wage any offensive wars in the name of 'liberation.' We want you to think about the future of humanity before taking any action."

"what happened?"

“I just find it hard to understand why you treat the child of the New Federation, a former enemy, so well.” Hasavi remained silent.

Have you heard the story of Sablin?

"Sablin?"

“You should look into him when you have time. He’s a very capable naval officer in Russia, but he’s too idealistic. You can’t always hope to change the whole world through a single action. Most things that can be accomplished in the world are not done in a day or a few weeks. Even those great movements that last only a short time cannot be separated from meticulous investigation, planning and preparation in the early stages.”

"After all, Rome wasn't built in a day." Hasavi thought about it and felt relieved.

"By the way, Evelyn also wants to study on Earth. You can take care of her when she goes."

"Huh?" Hasavi immediately tensed up. "I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of her."

“Don’t worry.” Karma patted him on the shoulder. “I found a reliable adult. I’ve known him for 26 years.”

SIDE2 Ifhishima University of Science and Technology, Biochemical Brain-Simulation Laboratory.

“Caesar, do you remember me?” the man asked.

A chimpanzee-shaped robot, made entirely of mechanical devices, nodded.

"Mentor, we did it!" Monica Arno, the assistant beside him, was very excited.

"Don't rush, don't rush," said the brown-haired man with glasses. "We still need to test his behavior."

The man pushed up his glasses with his finger and looked at a bunch of bananas on the table.

Upon seeing this, the mechanical chimpanzee immediately reached out to snatch it, but the brown-haired man kicked him to the ground: "Stand still, don't be possessive of your food."

"Okay, here you go."

The mechanical chimpanzee took the banana, bowed to the man in gratitude, and tried to put it in its mouth, only to find that its "mouth," like Ultraman's, couldn't open.

The mechanical chimpanzee immediately squeezed out a few drops of machine oil from its glasses.

"Why are you crying? It's so much better not to eat. You can just use batteries to power your system. Do you really want to become a poop-making machine?" the man said.

The robotic chimpanzee cried even harder.

"Alright, stop crying. I think I'll get you a digestive organ, from the Space Alliance, but that might be a challenge if you lose your sense of taste."

Amro Ray was overjoyed that the experiment had finally succeeded.

The brain of this mechanical chimpanzee named Caesar is made of biochemical brain—the brain's signals are entirely generated by simulated nerves that understand "how it works," allowing nerve impulses to be transmitted.

The memory information came from an old, frail, and deceased chimpanzee, which was cryogenically preserved before its brain lost its activity, and was tested to perform various functional behaviors.

Then, through biochemical technology, countless neurons are constructed to mimic and build a "biological computer" that runs the "chimpanzee" program.

This means we are only one step away from creating real robots, provided the technology is further developed.

Amuro will enable AI to truly understand human emotions—fulfilling the long-cherished wish of his mentor and senior student, Misaki.

The phone rang.

He took out his phone from his pocket, saw the contact information, and immediately connected the call.

"Hey, Amuro, are you busy?"

"Just finished working and have some good news to tell you: Project E was a success. We have achieved whole-brain simulation of chimpanzees."

"You actually made it? Congratulations!"

"It doesn't sound like you've come here specifically to congratulate me... Your Excellency, my NT ability tells me that you're in trouble again."

"Here's the thing, I've found you a good young man to be your helper. His background can help us get information about the New Federation. Also, could you please take care of Xia's daughter as well?"

“Hey, sir, this isn’t a daycare,” Amuro said. “I’m 42 years old, my son is almost out of college, and I don’t want to waste my energy raising him. My father has also retired, and I can’t bother him anymore.”

“Don’t be nervous, these two kids are adults, not little kids,” Karma said. “Besides, this kid’s father is Brad Noah, who might be able to get other information about NT research. After you complete the simulation of the human brain, you can try to make the bio-brain use NT abilities…that’s also a research direction.”

"Who is this young man?"

Amuro thought he had misheard.

This familiar yet unfamiliar name left a deep impression on Amuro.

They were comrades who once fought side by side at the White Base, but ultimately became enemies because of their differing ideals.

"Hassawi Noah is now our comrade."

“You need to be careful. Is this really reliable?” Amro said. “If it gets exposed, it’s no joke. It would be a disaster for him and for us.”

"Don't worry, this kid is absolutely reliable. He's just not mature enough yet and needs a reliable adult male like you to guide him."

Chapter 385 Supporting the Future

To cover up any trace of the “change” that had occurred, Hassawi moved to live in a prisoner-of-war town.

I also met Captain Lina.

"Erin, you weren't imprisoned with us before, so they didn't harm your body, did they?"

“Because I was slightly tortured during the previous operation.” Hasavi showed the fake “branding iron mark” on his arm. “But they felt they couldn’t get anything out of me, so they sent me back.”

He was also afraid of revealing something: "The others are alright."

“The old prisoners of war here gave us Zeon-style political propaganda. Brigadier General Gremy and I talked to everyone afterwards, and we weren’t misled by them.” Lina’s words made Hasavi feel a sense of alienation.

As a member selected for the intelligence department, he also knew that changing mindsets was not something that could be accomplished in a day.

Changing a person's mind is a thousand times harder than killing them.

It seems that Your Excellency has not taken any measures against them at all.

They didn't even do any quarantine.

Is it to cover up for his true rebellion?

"When I came back, I heard the officials who escorted us say that the intelligence department had paid the ransom, but it was highly unlikely that the Junyo would be returned."

"Sigh, it was my carelessness. I reviewed it carefully, and we didn't do a special inspection when our spaceship had the accident. I think there was something strange about when you captured that MS and put it on the warship. They probably sabotaged it on the ship as well. At the same time, they captured Olympus Base."

Captain Lina did not suspect him, and Hathaway later met Brigadier General Gremy.
