Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 893 is the First Generation! We're doomed!
There's a famous ACG meme: "It's the original, we're saved."

In this meme, works like Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and Ultraman often feature scenes where powerful early allies appear, and the current protagonist expresses their gratitude. However, when it comes to Gundam-related works, the current protagonist, upon seeing the original Gundam unit appear, will immediately say, "What's the point of you, you old relic, coming here?"

There's a hint of irony in this, but it also underscores the brutality of the arms race.

An old relic is an old relic. Unless there is some external interference that causes a technological gap, and the pilots are not significantly different, then each new military equipment will be stronger than the last.

In the current world, apart from having slightly higher initial health due to being a derivative unit of the Beyond World System, Char's Zaku II has long been relegated to the dustbin of history in terms of performance. It's an old machine that even terrorists are too lazy to use, and the only place to actually see one is in a military museum.

However, thanks to the amazing piloting skills of the projection of Commander-in-Chief Char Aznable, the antique machine still managed to shine brightly like a red comet on the battlefield, giving all the young pilots present a good lesson.

Moreover, this was done while operating alone without any external support. If Char had a support warship by his side, the situation would likely be quite different.

Pilots in the SD Gundam system do not have access to Spirit Commands; instead, they can use Skills.

Taking Char Aznable as an example, his skills "Movement UP" and "Evasion Rate 100%" are basically comparable to the mental commands "Accelerate" and "Dodge". The former increases the unit's movement for a short period of time, while the latter increases the evasion probability by 100% for a short period of time.

However, unlike the logic of using mental commands which consume mental energy, the active skills of SD Gundam pilots will be temporarily disabled after being used once, and can only be used again after returning to the battleship for maintenance.

One can imagine that if Char had the support of warships, allowing him to reuse his skills, the battle situation would likely have been completely different.

Although they had personally dealt with the red, horned, triple-speed machine, the young Getter Chosen in Getter ARC still had a lingering sense of defeat on their faces. They all knew very well that if it weren't for that sudden, enormous "fixed" character forcibly controlling the red antique, they would still be the ones being suppressed, instead of the victors they are today.

This is simply a matter of being technically inferior, leaving no room for further explanation.

While the people of Eldent were partially caught in a cycle of frustration and infighting, Cheng Tian's side was already smoothly cleaning up the battlefield.

Feeling a tightness in their chest, the Getter Trio watched as a bunch of small flying saucers flew towards them. Then, the lead one suddenly raised a rather large sign above its head, which read "Professional Battlefield Cleanup" in large characters.

Ryutoma then seemed to snap out of his daze, controlling ARC to move aside, and then stared blankly as the small flying saucers professionally recovered the metal wreckage of Char's Zaku II.

In a short time, the Death Legion, Death Beast, Death Bird, and Kowloon Gundam were all completely wiped out in the form of wreckage.

"...Are they really professional scrap dealers?"

Some of the Eldent members who were skeptical about the location of the Sun had no choice but to believe it after seeing such a display.

This small-scale battle triggered by the rendezvous has come to an end, but many things remain unresolved, and have only become more perplexing. For example, Domon, who boarded the Sun after receiving permission, is now facing the Red Heart Domon with an extremely complex expression and mindset. Of course, the other party is equally complex.

After Cheng Tian's explanation used to persuade Hayato, Domon realized that the person in front of him was himself from another timeline. The difference between them was that he had arrived in the Super Robot Wars dimension a long time ago and had experienced multiple dimension invasions in advance. Events such as the Devil Gundam and the Great Confession of the Century were also experienced in Super Robot Wars Earth.

However, Domon Hearts is a completely original unit from Budougen, and this is the first time it has come into contact with something outside of Budougen.

Cheng Tian didn't pay much attention to the exchange between the two Kings of Hearts. His focus was now on the dismantling of the wreckage, the development and upgrading of the mecha, and the upcoming trip to the Saotome Research Institute.

Hayato Kamiya, clearly unable to resist the temptation of a live Ryoma, agreed to make a deal with Cheng Tian for "Getter Robo" (or "DZ").

Getter DZ is a mass-produced mobile suit based on the "Getter Dragon". However, for the Saotome Laboratory now, even a single mass-produced Getter DZ is extremely valuable.

The main reason is that the research institute itself, which was inherited from Dr. Saotome, is a place that has suffered many disasters.

Not only are Getter Dragons with excessive Getter Ray concentrations sealed under their butts, but they are also constantly harassed or attacked indirectly by various entities that covet Getter. In fact, it is commonplace for outsiders to invade the research institute. As a result, the institute is extremely short of internal staff and guards, and it is also difficult to recruit new people to serve as consumables.

While Hayato could directly hand over Getter Robo to Cheng Tian, ​​he also had to be responsible for the safety of the existing research institute. He could give away Getter Robo, but in return, he also needed something to supplement the missing combat power.

Furthermore, even if they agree to the exchange, Getter DZ's transportation is still a big problem. Who knows if those "bugs" will intercept it halfway? So all things considered, it's still safest for Cheng Tian to pick it up himself, in every sense of the word.

Cheng Tian was still a human being, and since he did need the tower-building DZ, he agreed without hesitation.

According to Lao Luo's report, the estimated final revenue from this small-scale battle is around 23, including the wreckage of 40 Death Legion units and their derivatives, the wreckage of the Kowloon Gundam, the wreckage of Char's Zaku, and 3 captured complete Zaku IIs.

Cheng Tian only kept one Zaku II.

This Zaku II that was left behind wasn't meant to be driven, but rather kept for cross-design; this old relic has almost no development value.

Cheng Tian remembered clearly that the development path of Zaku II was basically locked within its own era, with the upper limit being the Great Demon, and there was almost no development value. It was better to use the precious Red Souls on a group of basic types.

For example, the initial Gundam basic model, under Cheng Tian's Red Soul development, has been transformed into a special machine with a huge shield and a very bulky appearance, and its name is—

Gundam Prototype Unit 2.
