The Mechanic

The red and blue wrestling is quietly staged on the map. Every time they finally push forward a few steps, they start to spread from the countries that are not so closely related to Eden to the developed countries, but Eden will always push back . They had lost control of one satellite an hour earlier, and if they lost the remaining one, they were almost doomed.

It has been five hours since his conversation with Adam, and Adam hasn't done anything yet, so he doesn't know how to feel. But no matter what, Phoenix has already activated all the defense and counterattack systems of Feathered Snake City. Various detection robots distributed in the surrounding tropical forests are always detecting any individual who makes obvious behaviors approaching Feathered Snake City, whether it is Whether it is a human or an animal, once it is discovered, it will immediately try to expel it. If the other party continues to approach and show threatening behavior, it will immediately start the neutralization procedure.

"We must snatch at least one more satellite." Zhang Xun asked, "Do you think there is any way to occupy a large enough amount of Eden's operating resources?"

Phoenix says, "Use the AI ​​we already control to cause mass chaos in cities. Or use more aggressive means to provoke international disputes. We now control the core AI of two nuclear-armed countries, and our invasion so far It hasn't been found yet."

"No." Zhang Xun flatly refused, "Nuclear weapons must never be used."

"A small number of individual sacrifices can be exchanged for a large enough group benefit." Morningstar argues.

However, Pan said, "I don't agree. The boundaries between individuals and groups are difficult to define. Our duty is to protect human beings as much as possible."

Zhang Xun gave Pan a grateful look.

Pan continued, "With the resources we currently have, we can cut off the power to about 12 percent of cities in North America, including many key cities, including financial centers like New York. We can cut off the power to these cities, causing two The first major power outage in a century."

Big blackout. Such an incident happened once two hundred years ago when the Third World War broke out. The powerful electromagnetic waves under the impact of the super nuclear bomb destroyed half of the electrical system of the United States. You never imagine how much human beings depend on electricity, let alone how quickly human society begins to disintegrate when electricity is taken away.

Securities transactions cannot be carried out, factories cannot operate, the heating system is completely paralyzed in the cold winter, only a few fragile doors remain in the bank's security system, even the traffic system is in chaos, the signal lights fail, and the plane cannot receive the control tower's signal. Signal. Some people were trapped in the office building, and some were trapped outside their homes. From the initial anger and irritability to the later panic, the transformation happened in an instant.

When the batteries of mobile phones and computers died, when all the backup engines began to fail, when the real darkness and cold fell... In less than three days, riots began to occur in the city. People poured into the streets to vent their fear and uncontrollable anger. Countless shops were smashed, banks were looted, and houses were burned in flames, illuminating the dark sky.

And this time the power outage will only have a greater impact than it did two hundred years ago. After all, humans have relied too much on AI and electronic products. Even human language is declining. Without driverless cars, people can't even get out of the door. Without housekeeper robots, people don't even know how to get food. Familiar, without fingerprint or pupil recognition people can't find a way to open the door.

And the power outage means that Eden has lost control of those cities.

Maybe it's time for humanity to have some sense of existential crisis.

"Okay, do this." Zhang Xun ordered.

When the three robots sent out their instructions, and when their plan quickly unfolded, Phoenix suddenly reported, "A large-scale abnormality occurred in the monitoring robot system outside Feather Snake City. All robots are offline."

A cold current passed through Zhang Xun's body, and a slightly dull indifference appeared on his face.

Adam made a move.

He looked up at the scene around Feather Serpent City displayed on the surrounding walls. It was the time when the sun was setting and the violets gradually turned into rose red. The brilliant clouds burned from the horizon to the emerald green ocean formed by the woods, and the distant mountains were hidden in the misty light and mist. A small black dot hovering in the distant sky can be vaguely seen.

That's the fleet from Paradise Lost.

Everything is so peaceful and peaceful, and nothing unusual can be seen.

What exactly did Adam do?

"Electromagnetic Pulse?"

"It's not an electromagnetic pulse. The last real-time report sent back by the detection robot showed that no abnormalities were detected."

Zhang Xun turned his head and kept switching the scenes captured by the surveillance cameras in Feather Snake City. He could feel a kind of imminent pressure, a kind of creepiness that the eyes couldn't see, but all the goosebumps came up.

Just then, they saw it.

It was a wonderful sight, as if it had been precipitated from the air out of nowhere. The purple clouds they thought of, the beautiful haze they thought of, gradually began to condense around them, and gradually became thicker.

That kind of surge, that kind of tumbling, that kind of spirit that devours the world is extremely gorgeous and magnificent, but at the same time it is so silent, without stirring up a piece of dust, without stirring up half a leaf.
