Chapter 375: The Undefeated Mechanical and Electrical City

The military leader has a very high opinion of the mechanical and electrical city.

But this also puzzled Zhou Yi: "Senior, didn't the United Resistance Army lose the battle against the Celestial Being?"

"We are the ones who lost, not the mechanical and electrical city."

The soldier reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

He shook the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, lit it with a flick of his finger, put it in his mouth, and exhaled a wisp of white air: "Many people called the resistance army in the past the tripartite coalition, and believed that the Black Emperor, the Old King and I were the core of the entire resistance army. In fact, this statement is unfair. To be precise, it should be four parties."

“The role played by the mechanical and electrical city is no less than that played by our frontline.”

"During the war, they laid the foundation for the scientific and technological system of Yinguangshu, which allowed a large amount of standard equipment to be continuously produced through factories and delivered to the front line."

"Without the powerful production capacity of the mechatronic city, countless energy packs, and drones all over the world, real-time data capture and weakness analysis... we can't defeat the optical nuclear giant."

Zhou Yi asked: "The light core giant is a light core body?"

"Ah."

The Soldier held the cigarette between his fingers, a nostalgic look on his face: "At that time, to destroy a light nuclear giant, you had to sacrifice the lives of Skywalker... Fortunately, the mechanical and electrical city can quickly discover their arrival, and we must surround and kill them while they are still weak."

"It was difficult at the time, and soldiers were dying."

"Ninety percent of my weapon princesses died on the battlefield, and the Black Emperor's Dawn Guard was nearly wiped out several times."

"The old king's star matrix interfered with the signals and impacted the consciousness of the light nuclear giants outside the atmosphere, causing them to be paralyzed for a short time when they landed. But the consciousness influence is mutual. They are also affected by the radiation of the giants, causing a large number of satellites to fall into chaos and even have a tendency to self-destruct. Only the data voters can maintain stability."

He took a puff of his cigarette. "If the civilians are not evacuated in time, they may be pulverized into dust by the shock wave caused by the landing of the giant."

"In areas occupied by giants, ordinary people and light nano-beings will be raised and transformed into the crystal people that the celestial beings want, or become their carriers and remote containers."

Zhou Yi listened silently.

It turns out that behind the technical mechanism of data voters, there are also historical reasons why satellites are affected by the heavens and humans.

The soldier narrowed his eyes and said, "The situation gradually improved later."

"As for fighting, facing an enemy you know nothing about is the most difficult. Although we suffered heavy casualties, we also figured out the enemy's patterns, mechanisms, and strengths."

"We become stronger and stronger as we fight, and we have also created a light core that can fight against the Titans head-on. Under the leadership of the Tarzan Knights, the Mechanical and Electrical City has also developed strategic weapons [Hou Yi] and [David] to target the Titans."

The soldier master showed a look of reminiscence on his face: "Hou Yi is equipped with the first death ray weapon, the "Sun Shooting Cannon", which can snipe and destroy the light nuclear giants that descend from the atmosphere."

"[David] specializes in dealing with the light nuclear giants that have successfully landed. It suppresses the giants at close range, then explodes the "Light Explosion Rod" and exchanges its life with the light nuclear giant."

"It's just that both Hou Yi and David need mechanical life to enter and control them in order to ensure accurate hits and detonation. Therefore, a large number of mechanical life were killed and targeted by the giants."

"In general, because we have the corresponding weapons and combat experience, we have gradually begun to recover the lost ground and no longer retreat..."

Zhou Yi listened attentively.

No wonder the resistance army was able to resist the gods back then, they are indeed very capable.

There was no trace of relief in the Lord of Arms' voice, but instead a sense of desolation.

"Just when things were looking good, something unexpected happened."

"The Mechanical and Electrical City surrendered to the Celestial Being without any warning and donated all the Yin Guang techniques and related technologies to the Celestial Being."

"From that moment on, the war was over."

There was no heaviness in his voice, only a sense of relief as if he had been liberated: "Everyone finds their own way out. The Black Emperor controls a large number of areas and populations and has the best governance capabilities, so he joined the Celestial Beings and established the Kingdom of Heaven."

"The old king declared Xingshu independent, and I moved here to stay out of the world."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a little confused: "But from the electromechanical life, I learned that the Black Emperor betrayed and established the Kingdom of Heaven... It turned out that the electromechanical city surrendered first?"

The commander of the army laughed.

"It's normal for people to always like to distort the past to benefit themselves."

"It was the Knight Tarzan who made the decision at that time."

"After surrendering, they left the mechanical and electrical city and have been living in seclusion away from all cities ever since."

"The Knights of Tarzan later told me that this decision was the result of calculations. If they continue to fight and resist, the chances of winning will become lower and lower, and the probability of the entire world's intelligent life being extinct will also exceed the threshold."

"They only believe in one thing from beginning to end: data."

The Lord of Arms said softly, "Because they discovered that as our strength increases, the light core giants that landed also become stronger. The celestial beings are deliberately keeping the giants at a strength that we can handle, in this way stimulating our potential and promoting the further rapid evolution of the top life forms in this world."

"The Light Nuclear Giant is the catalyst they sent out."

"The research and development of death ray weapons has allowed Tarzan Knight to discover that there are some life forms suspended outside the atmosphere that were previously unobservable."

"They are transmuters that are above the light core body, but they are just hiding quietly in the void, overlooking this world."

"There were 16 observed at that time."

Zhou Yi felt a little creepy for a moment.

Just listening to the description of the Lord of Arms made him feel a little suffocated.

The gap between the two sides is so huge that it makes people despair. This is not a war at all, but just a fight between heaven and man.

"So the Tarzan Knights believed that the chances of winning a violent confrontation were close to zero. They had to preserve their manpower as much as possible, so they chose to surrender."

The Soldier Master shook his cigarette butt and said, "For the benefit of the electromechanical life forms, they did not tell us this information. As the first intelligent species to surrender, they received great treatment from the celestial beings."

"We all understand."

"Since everyone is incompetent, let's go our separate ways."

"In fact, the Tarzan Knights didn't gain any benefit from this. Their decisions were based on the survival and maintenance of the entire electromechanical life and electromechanical city. Even if they lived in isolation, they still didn't get any good results. The celestial beings don't like them because they know too much. Pangu being captured and taken to City 404 is an example."

"Although the form of electromechanical cities has many disadvantages, they have strong survival capabilities and can always find ways to adapt to the environment."

The warrior who had experienced the war against the gods stared at Zhou Yi: "Do you know why I am telling you this?"

Zhou Yi shook his head.

"I'm optimistic about you."

“I am looking forward to the new generation of young people.”

The soldier leader said in a relaxed tone: "We fought hard, and even though we lost, we have no regrets or regrets."

"The future of the world ultimately lies in you, the new generation."

"We lost, but you may not."

"Most young people will eventually become lost in the crowd, or give up because of difficulties, or be bought out and merged by various parties... It is difficult to persist in forging your own path."

"So far, you're doing pretty well."

The soldier leader laughed and said, "So I will tell you about the detours we took. Although I cannot give you the method to succeed, I do have the experience of failure, and a lot of it."

"In short, be careful of the mechatronic city."

Zhou Yi said seriously: "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful and cautious."

"No, you don't understand."

The other party shook his head: "Do you know what the biggest difference between electromechanical life and humans and photonic life is?"

Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "They are stable."

"You could say the same thing."

The military leader looked at the golden elephant in the yard in front of him and said, "Look. Even a powerful life form like the golden elephant, which is a light core body when it grows up, is no different from ordinary people. They will make the same mistakes and fall into the same pit again."

"But electromechanical life doesn't."

"When we were fighting against the Light Nuclear Titans, even the most experienced warriors would make mistakes in executing the established tactics. Because each Light Nuclear Titan has different characteristics, these characteristics will interfere with judgment and make it difficult to make adjustments in a short period of time, so trial and error is needed."

"When [Hou Yi] and [David] joined the battle, they were initially ineffective. Hou Yi was unable to accurately hit the light core giant that was falling at a high altitude, and David often detonated himself, but was unable to effectively destroy the light core, causing the giant to survive."

The military leader paused.

"But one time, Hou Yi hit a light nuclear giant in the atmosphere and blew him up directly in the sky. Since then, all Hou Yi's shots have never missed."

"Same thing with David. The first time David found a way to die together with the giant, they always won one for one every time."

"You understand? The growth and evolution of electromechanical life is instantaneous. They may fail hundreds of times, but they only need to succeed once."

The Soldier Master raised his right index finger, his eyes solemn: "In the same situation, they will never fail again."

"As long as we give electromechanical life enough time and keep the electromechanical city running, they will always find effective solutions to problems."

"Even the celestial beings are wary of mechanical life forms. Because once they learn of secrets and data, they will be able to crack everything at some point in the future."

"So they need to tamper with the data and use chains to monitor every mechanical and electrical life to prevent it from becoming an unpredictable dangerous factor."

"So, now you know what you are facing? If you cannot completely destroy and conquer them, then you must always worry that one day they will find your greatest weakness."

The military leader looked at Zhou Yi with interest: "So I am very interested in how you will deal with such an enemy."

Zhou Yi uttered a sound.

"Well, I don't consider the Mechanical City an enemy. If the Mechanical City can continue to change for the better, it will be a good thing for both the mechanical life and the rest of the world."

"In terms of manufacturing, the mechanism determines that electromechanical life should be the strongest, and the world also needs better electromechanical cities."

"I have always believed that war is only temporary."

Zhou Yi said: "Our confrontation with the electromechanical city is not a life-and-death battle between enemies who must kill each other, but a competition between the two different development directions of electromechanical life to see who can explore a better future for electromechanical life."

“I believe this kind of healthy competition can not only stimulate and promote each other, but is also beneficial to the world as a whole.”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then he laughed heartily: "Okay, okay."

"Next winter, if you are still alive, come to Golden Elephant Valley and I will treat you to roasted corn."

Zhou Yi nodded: "I will definitely come next winter."
