Gundam, driving a mass-produced machine will change the world

Like the Nu Gundam, the Nu Gundam was not equipped with wing funnels at this moment; instead, it carried two beam cannons on its backpack's two mounting points. These cannons could not only perform long-range precision firing but could also be converted into large beam sabers when necessary, providing powerful support for close combat. For the current battle situation, this multi-functional design was undoubtedly an ideal choice.

Under the influence of stimulants, Eli's body once again surged with the stamina to sustain combat. His hands gripped the specially designed cylindrical control lever, his fingertips moving rapidly across the control panel, adjusting the machine's various parameters. Eli's gaze swept across the interface, quickly confirming that the machine was in optimal combat condition. All system indicator lights were green, energy supply was stable, and weapon systems were ready.

The mass-produced Nu Gundam possesses 80% of the Nu Gundam's performance, a figure that would be comparable even to the cutting-edge mass-produced Jesta from the future 0096. In the original work, Anaheim Electronics, the company that developed this model, was extremely confident in it, and from the Navy to the Army to special forces, they had already designed a series of different paint schemes for this model.

However, after witnessing the miracles brought about by the psychoframe, the Earth Federation's high command developed a deep sense of apprehension about this power. They began to strictly limit the scope and scale of the psychoframe's use. The reason was simple: the combat enhancements this technology provided to the New Humans were far too powerful, exceeding their control.

In the short time it took to rush onto the battlefield, Eli had already deeply experienced the power of the psychoframe. Sometimes, he didn't even need to manually operate the control sticks; simply by using his thoughts, the amplified brainwaves could be directly transmitted to the machine, and the machine would perform the corresponding actions according to his will. And all of this was achieved using only the limited psychoframe equipped around the cockpit.

Amro, increase altitude.

Without even needing to open a communication channel, Eli simply conveyed the message to Amuro in his mind, and Amuro, inside the Nu Gundam, reacted immediately. He decisively abandoned the SFS he was standing on, and the thrusters on his backpack quickly activated, propelling the Nu Gundam into the sky.

The abandoned SFS lost control and immediately became a target for the two psycho-Gundams, instantly being hit and exploding amidst the dense barrage of fire. The fire didn't stop, continuing its pursuit of the rising Nu Gundam. However, even under the influence of gravity, the Nu Gundam, piloted by Amuro, was still able to perform acrobatic-like evasive maneuvers in the air, nimbly weaving through the gunfire.

If the bio-CPUs piloting these psycho-Gundams possessed emotions, any ordinary pilot witnessing this scene would likely lose their will to fight on the spot. But these cloned brains showed no emotional fluctuations; they simply coldly executed pre-set commands. After determining that their grenade launchers posed no effective threat to the Nu Gundam, both machines simultaneously straightened their chests, and their beam spread cannons began charging, emitting a dangerous glow. They clearly intended to use the spread beam cannons to weave a net of fire, completely blocking the Nu Gundam's path.

However, just as the two Psycho Gundams raised their chests, a figure suddenly rushed beneath one of them. I piloted the Psycho Gundam, lowering the two beam cannons on its backpack at extremely close range. The scorching beams struck the Psycho Gundam's abdominal armor, instantly melting two huge holes through it.

Immediately afterward, all the small missiles built into the shield on the left arm of the Bull were launched, accurately blasting into the enemy aircraft through the gap that had just been created. A muffled explosion came from inside the aircraft, clearly indicating that the internal structure had been severely damaged. Eli then released the beam rifle he was holding in his right hand and directly activated the high-speed beam saber connected to the energy pipeline on his forearm, preparing to slash upwards through the hole to completely eliminate the enemy aircraft.

But at that very moment, a massive mechanical hand suddenly grabbed from the side, directly seizing the Quantium Bull's right arm! It was the Quantium Psycho Gundam, which should have been rendered incapable of combat, that, despite its near-complete loss of function, was still executing its final combat commands through pre-programmed instructions, restricting Eli's next move. Eli had underestimated the combat logic of these cloned brains—they had already predicted that Eli's actions would inevitably target one of the mobile suits the moment Amuro jumped into the air.

Therefore, the two Psycho Gundams were already prepared. The other Psycho Gundam quickly adjusted its posture, its two rapid-fire cannons on its arms aimed at the Nu Gundam, while its chest-mounted spread cannon continuously fired to interfere with the Nu Gundam high in the sky, clearly intending to shoot down Eli in one fell swoop. Even at this point, they were still faithfully carrying out their supreme command: to eliminate Eli at all costs.

However, Eli did not panic. He calmly operated the beam cannon on his right shoulder, converting it into a beam saber mode. At the same time, with the help of the base's rotation mechanism, he swung a perfect arc of light, precisely severing the mechanical hand that was gripping his right arm.

Almost simultaneously, the bull raised its shield in front of it, activated its thrusters at full power, and the machine quickly retreated to avoid most of the incoming beams.

Energy output must have decreased. Eli calmly assessed the situation. In the brief moment when the attack from the Psycho Gundam paused, he immediately stopped retreating and raised his hand to grasp the beam cannon on his back, which was in beam saber mode.

At that moment, the Nu Gundam also landed beside Eli. The two similarly shaped Gundams stood side by side, watching the Psycho Gundam, which had temporarily ceased its attack.

The battlefield was now completely obscured by the sky. Black ash from burning buildings and vegetation blanketed the entire airspace, with flickering flames and ugly remnants of flames still molten from intense heat beams. The towering flames dyed everything crimson, and amidst this scorching scene, the last remaining Psycho Gundam stood in the center of the wreckage of three other similar machines, slowly raising its arms.

Eli's guess was correct. The Psycho Gundam had been fighting continuously for so long, and its engine power could no longer keep up with the rate of energy consumption. To restore it to a level capable of performing a beam sweep, it would need at least several minutes of charging time. The principle is similar to a high-powered flashlight; even when directly connected to a power source, it needs to wait for the capacitor to fully charge before it can be used again.

Therefore, the only usable armaments of this psycho-Gundam are the low-powered beam cannons on its arms and the high-energy MEGA particle cannon directly connected to the nuclear reactor. This level of firepower means the two piloting the new Gundam can easily dismantle it into pieces before it can regenerate its energy.

The high-energy MEGA particle cannon on the chest of the Psycho Gundam began to glow, assuming a posture of fighting to the death!
Neither of them dared to be careless, and each made their own preparations.

Just then, a strong sense of crisis suddenly struck!
A sudden premonition arose that dodging in any direction would lead to certain death. Fortunately, Eli and Amuro were both Newtypes, and the moment the sense of crisis arose, they immediately steered their machines to retreat at full speed.

What instilled this sense of crisis in the two was not the nearly incapacitated Psycho Gundam before them, but rather something emanating from a much higher location—outside the atmosphere. A murderous aura, using the Psycho Gundam as a coordinate, firmly locked onto Eli. The MEGA particle beam, compressed to its absolute limit, pierced through the atmosphere, tore through the clouds and rain of the stratosphere, penetrated the black ash covering the battlefield, and struck the earth like divine punishment!
On the battlefield, regardless of their faction, everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing, staring blankly at the cherry-pink beam of light that pierced the heavens and the earth. Due to atmospheric refraction, the beam did not directly hit its intended target, but it still drew a huge arc across the earth and the city, adding new wounds to the already scarred area.

"That is…"

"Silver Lightning".

Before the still-standing Psycho-Gundam, Eli and Amuro simultaneously looked up at the sky. The attack just now was clearly achieved through the connection between these bio-CPUs. Perhaps Eli's ability to sense the attack across such a great distance was also due to this special connection.

The Psycho Gundam, standing atop the ruins, surprisingly raised its head and looked up at the sky, much like a human. Blue sunlight streamed through the pierced clouds. But this light was quickly obscured by a gigantic figure.

It was a meteor, its outstretched wings not for soaring, but for the Minovsky flight device used to stabilize its terrifying mass within the atmosphere. Amidst the surging noise of communications, it descended steadily against the planet's gravity in a counterintuitive, almost elegant, slow motion.

The airflow directly beneath Silver Thunder became incredibly turbulent. The immense wind pressure from its descent reached the ground before it even touched down, instantly whipping up dust and debris. Small pieces of tile, broken metal, and even lighter MS wreckage were swirled up by the gale, lashing out wildly like a blizzard. Soldiers engaged in combat on the battlefield had to keep their bodies low to the ground or cling tightly to anything nearby to avoid being blown away. The swirling dust grew even denser, almost suffocating them.

Its shadow expanded rapidly, quickly covering the two Gundams, the lone mass-produced psycho-Gundam, and a large area of ​​battlefield ruins. The temperature seemed to drop a few degrees, and the light became extremely dim, with only the light of distant flames flickering at the edge of the shadow, outlining the shape of Silver Lightning.

"Silver Thunder, Atmospheric Cruise Mode Deployed."

The Silver Thunder that appeared before Eli this time had already replenished all of his wingmen, the Kihar II. They were detaching from the pylons under the wings and forming a V-shape behind the Psycho Gundam.

A chilling unease filled Eli's entire body.

This new batch of Kihar II clones was also equipped with bio-CPUs. The resonance between the eight cloned brains on the field even caused Eli to experience a headache.

The voice in his ear was not as clear and distinct as the communication between him and Amuro, but rather obscure and indistinct, just like when Eli had not yet fully awakened his abilities.

However, once the Psycho Gundam had fully charged its high-energy MEGA particle cannon, all the noise converged into one sentence—annihilate Eli at all costs.

Silver Thunder had not received this order. Its mission was merely to come to the battlefield and become an absolute force to deter all villains.

However, researchers' understanding of humans and new humans is ultimately insufficient! In their understanding, these bio-CPUs do not have self-awareness, but the mutual induction they form, which is exactly the same as each other, causes the instructions that were not originally given to Yin Lei to be input into its program!
At all costs...

Eliminate Eli!

Without warning or omen, the missile pods at the bottom and sides of the Silver Thunder suddenly lit up, like a swarm of bees leaving their hive. Hundreds of missiles, trailing white contrails, roared out and covered the large area where the Nu Gundam and the Nu Gundam were located in a fan shape!

Furthermore, the beam diffusion cannon, which cannot be used in a gravity environment, was also fixed to the Silver Thunder machine and fired downwards.

When Amuro and Eli broke free from the artillery barrage, what appeared before them was the Psycho Gundam, which had lost command of Jabro's forces and had automatically joined the Silver Thunder's loyal wingman ranks!

The dense, varied beams of light from the Psycho Gundam and Kihal II rained down like a torrential downpour. Devastating explosions followed one after another, the deafening roar silencing all other sounds on the battlefield. Along the paths where Eli and Amuro had split up to dodge, buildings, streets, vehicles unable to escape, and even mobile suits that couldn't be evaded in time all became part of Silver Thunder's destruction count.
