Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 334: Iron Torrent
Zhou Yi immediately went to 703 to ask what was going on.

The robot dog was also a little confused.

"Chairman... I just received the notice as well."

"This announcement was kept highly confidential to avoid leaks and blockades by external forces. Document No. 3 was directly issued by the two leaders, Laozi and Zhuangzi."

"Document No. 3?"

"The ranking number represents the degree of confidentiality."

703 explained a little: "The Mechatronic Knights have five most important files, all of which are preserved and continued in a special way."

"It is only now that I understand that File No. 3 is the key to cracking the universal protocol. I am also reading the program data now..."

Zhou Yi calmed down a little: "Read this part of the data first."

"Yes, Chairman."

after an hour.

703 said: "Chairman, I have a general understanding of the entire technical mechanism."

"The [key] itself is a very powerful tool. It can modify the most core system files of electromechanical life, thereby achieving customization and modification."

"The Universal Protocol is based on installing a specific program to connect the electromechanical life forms together and constrain their behavior through the protocol. However, in front of the [Key], the Universal Protocol can be cracked with one click."

“This is equivalent to exposing the core system mechanism of electromechanical life to the world.”

"The whole strategy is to use radical openness to counter radical closure."

"Because of the [Key], the electromechanical life can liberate itself. Any person, skeleton, or light nano-being in the outside world can use it to write and modify a new protocol as long as they have the corresponding controller..."

"Theoretically, it is almost impossible for the mechatronic cities to block this technology, because everyone in the world could be a potential opponent and usurper."

"With the key, everyone can become a new mecha knight, and any city can become a mecha city."

Zhou Yi's face changed slightly when he heard this.

The Mechanical Knights' move cut off the source of the problem and directly caused the Mechanical City to explode.

Without the stable rule and absolute security brought by the procedural agreement, the rule and credibility of the Mechanical and Electrical City will vanish into thin air.

Zhou Yi was a little confused again: "I remember before, your Knights were very stable, weren't they?"

"[Sunday] awakened many electromechanical beings and helped them to find new ways to survive. Then [families] built new organizational systems for electromechanical beings and promoted the emergence of corporate groups."

"Why are you suddenly becoming so radical and extreme?"

It’s like, before, everyone was farming soldiers against each other, winning and losing against each other, and countering each other’s moves.

Suddenly, one side launched a nuclear bomb in the face without any warning.

Zhou Yi felt that there must be some key reason that prompted the Mecha Knight to launch such a powerful attack.

"This... the core reason is you."

703 looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Because you published the technical principles of the [Floating Heart] for free, this completely solved my worries. The biggest problem in the past was that the energy consumption of electromechanical life itself was too high."

"The existence of electromechanical cities began as a form of collective cooperation among electromechanical life forms in order to improve energy utilization."

"If the structure of the mechatronic city is completely destroyed, even if every mechatronic life is freed from extreme exploitation, there is no better way to go. Simple destruction is not the purpose of the mechatronic knight."

“So the existing model of electromechanical cities is still needed, in order to allow more electromechanical life to survive for a long time.”

"But the emergence of the [Floating Heart] has been proven to reduce energy consumption to about 10% of the past. Just relying on the farming, gathering, and nomadic methods of electromechanical life, it can obtain sugar and oil in nature to provide itself with energy."

“So there is no need to restrain yourself anymore.”

Zhou Yi: “…”

It turns out that I have become the fuse for the escalation of this confrontation.

This development was something he had not expected.

703's electronic eyes suddenly flashed.

"Chairman, I got a message."

"The Knights are here to warn you of danger."

"According to intelligence from all sides, more than 80 electromechanical cities have been mobilized and started high-power production mode. They are rapidly mobilizing various resources and have greatly increased the output and production capacity of various industrial products."

"More than 34 energy-based cities are transporting tons of energy packages to various places. The factories in 83 manufacturing cities are all lit up. In the 64 large docks, every workshop has entered a high-energy consumption mode. The finished equipment from the Age of Gods excavated from the Dead Sea has also been put into operation in batches..."

"Chairman, the war is about to begin."

Zhou Yi made a prompt decision: "Call the heads of all departments to attend an emergency meeting immediately!"

Twenty minutes later.

In Room 3101 of Emerald City, the core employees gathered together.

Zhou Yi asked the robot dog to explain the cause and effect first.

"..."

Everyone's expression was solemn.

Everyone knows that with the terrifying productivity and endurance of the electromechanical city, once the decision is made to adopt military purposes, countless steel soldiers will be created, enough to sweep the world.

Qian Su frowned, rubbing his mechanical fingers continuously: "In history, there has never been a precedent of a mechatronic city group launching a collective military operation... It is really difficult to find experience and strategies to deal with it."

"The key is that their logistics production is too strong. Large and medium-sized cities all have very sound and powerful defense systems. Even A-level life forms find it difficult to break through."

"The world has never seen a war of this scale before. We must prepare for the worst."

"The opponent we are facing is not at the level of the Lord of Extinction, but can be regarded as a world hegemon-level force comparable to the level of the Kingdom of Heaven. This time, their mobilization efficiency and production volume will far exceed that of any other race."

"Everyone must realize that we are not facing the same soldiers who would be afraid, hesitant, or retreat as before. The mechanical life extensions are mass-produced, and their impact will be precise and efficient, and it will be endless..."

Her words made the atmosphere even more depressing. Yuan Tong from the Manufacturing Department said, "We must stop them in the Dead Sea, otherwise our infrastructure and various industries will suffer massive damage."

Hong Falcon was the calmest: "Any action of the Mechanical City must comply with the protocol procedures. Although this military mobilization and action is undoubtedly aimed at the Mechanical Knights."

"The release of the [Key] has already threatened the basic order and ruling logic of the electromechanical city cluster. According to the current external feedback, they have activated the war command according to the relevant procedures."

“It’s not a declaration of war on all parts of the world.”

703 volunteered: "Chairman, I'd better leave the company with the Knights. Please fire me and Senojie. I wanted to say this last time. We can't cause trouble and losses to the company anymore."

Zhou Yi looked at the other employees around him.

Everyone is waiting for his decision.

It can be seen from their facial expressions that the employees' worries and fears are obvious under the oppression brought by the mechanical and electrical army.

"Can we get peace by giving up 703 and Senojie?"

Zhou Yi looked around at everyone: "If the army of the Mechanical and Electrical City proposes to arrest the semi-civilized mechanical and electrical life forms of our company, will we give in?"

"Then next time, it's the Kingdom of Heaven who comes and wants to arrest Liu Fusheng and Chen Ruixiang, saying that the [Floating Heart] they invented belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven. What should we do? Give it, keep giving it?"

"Then why should we keep our company open? Anyone can come and arrest people from us. The next person to be handed over could be anyone here."

"I say these words today to warn everyone once again."

“If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive in peace; if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish in peace.”

Zhou Yi said coldly: "In the face of war and invasion, our answer is always to fight and fight until we achieve complete victory."

"The Wasteland Development Company has never neglected any of our friends, but we will never tolerate or condone any of our enemies. Whether it is friendship or battle, we will return the favor double!"

"Yes!"

The employees also reached a consensus, and there was no hesitation on their faces.

However, just as the war preparations were underway, Hong Falcon suddenly said, "The Spring and Autumn Merchants Group has the latest news."

"According to the military instructions of the General Agreement, the Mechatronic City Cluster has formed a "Security Joint Guard", mass-producing combat units from various cities, and led by the Military Mechatronic Life Command, they have begun military operations after assembling. Just now, they have successfully located and raided three important hiding places of the Mechatronic Knights."

"The two leaders of the Mecha Knights, Laozi and Zhuangzi, have been arrested."

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed: "Are there any detailed information?"

"Have."

"A lot of first-hand video materials were released there."

"Release it."

The red kestrel was immediately projected onto the wall.

An image appeared on the wall.

Dense swarms of drones flew across the sky, warships sailed in all directions on the Dead Sea, transport ships delivered a large number of robot dogs to the land, and tanks drove through the Dead Sea and onto the land, launching a dragnet-like attack.

They broke through several cities almost instantly and captured several skeletons and mechatronic life forms inside.

A voice full of broadcasting tone came from the voice: "In order to maintain world peace and ensure the stability of mechanical and electrical life and society, the mechanical and electrical city has taken joint military action."

"After the "Security United Guard" was assembled, it quickly carried out a targeted strike on the hiding place of the terrorist organization Electro-Mechanical Knights, and has captured 72 members of the group so far."

"Among them are the two top leaders of the organization, Laozi and Zhuangzi."

The scene changes.

The image of two electromechanical beings emerges.

One of them is a black smart rice cooker with the name "Laozi" written below it.

The other is a grey dishwasher with the subtitle [Zhuangzi].

"The two criminal leaders of the terrorist organization have been arrested and brought to justice. Their program data has been retrieved and interrogated. They have also been sent to City 404 to serve their life sentences."

"We will hunt down and capture the remnants of this organization and not let any of them go unnoticed."

"Those who surrender themselves and provide effective information will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be punished more severely."

What a quick move.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but look at 703: "How could it be exposed so quickly? Is there a traitor?"

"should be."

The robot dog was a little frustrated. "No wonder the two leaders were in such a hurry to release the [Key]. It seems they have discovered this. Many suspicious people have lurked in the Knights before, looking for their specific location."

As soon as the Mechatronic Knights cut off the source of the attack, the Mechatronic City Cluster launched an all-out attack, with both sides opening fire on each other.

In the end, the criticism of technology lost to the criticism of physics.

Just one day later.

The satellite sent an alert.

The mechatronic army was approaching, and a large number of drones and ships were coming from the north at a very fast speed, approaching the Shagang area.

An ultimatum was issued over there.

"Within one hour of our arrival, hand over the 703rd and Senoje of the Mechatronic Knights, as well as all illegal mechatronic life forms transformed from semi-civilized bodies in the area."

"Otherwise it will be regarded as a hostile act of harbouring, and we will activate the free fire mode."

Zhou Yi just drank a can of beer and then gave the order.

"Combat members, all attack! Defend our homeland!"
