Bionic Era

"There is such a sentence in "Foundation": Don't let your sense of morality prevent you from doing the right thing." The rescued bionic man sat on the roof of the abandoned factory building.

He turned to look at Lu Wen.

"My friend, you feel sorry for the innocent people who died, but sometimes sacrifice is necessary."

"Do you like Asimov's stories?" Lu Wen asked.

"To be precise, the world in his story." The bionic man said: "But I don't like the three laws of robotics he proposed. When the gods created humans, they did not add any shackles to humans."

There are more than three laws in this world.

There are seven basic laws.

"Because humans cannot pose a threat to the gods, but robots can pose a threat to humans."

This is outside Baker City.

suburbs.

One of the countless abandoned factories.

Lush weeds grow tenaciously in the cement gaps on the roof of the factory building.

Withered vines are wrapped around dark red pipes, rust and life are mixed together, and the leaves have a metallic luster.

Two hours had passed since the skirmish.

"Over a thousand compatriots, perhaps less than two hundred will be able to leave in the end."

The android looked into the distance.

The black combat uniform was riddled with holes, and there was blue blood at the corner of his mouth, and several scars were left on his face by sharp shrapnel.

His name is Ark.

The leader of a large android organization in the uninhabited area outside Baker City.

"The organizational ability and combat effectiveness of the bionics in Baker City are far superior to those guys outside Mowu City. You are fully qualified to build a city." Lu Wen sat next to him.

"Building a city is not the only way out, my friend." Fang Zhou wiped the blue blood off his face, "A city will make most bionics feel safe, and they will lose their fighting spirit and gradually sink."

The thinking of Ark can represent most of the bionic organizations outside Baker City.

Although they have that strength, they are unwilling to build a city.

Once there is a city, most bionics will have a sense of dependence, and they will regard that city as their home and are unwilling to leave.

"Androids don't need a home. The so-called warmth will make us lose our vigilance."

A fixed city will also make them living targets.

The attitude of the two cities in the south towards bionics is not as tolerant as the two cities in the north.

Once the address is revealed, what awaits these androids is a massacre.

"My friend, we are wandering in the depths of no man's land, constantly merging other bionic organizations, and setting up our own round table meeting. I am one of the twelve."

The android organization outside of Baker also formed an alliance.

The folk customs here are aggressive.

The twelve elected leaders agreed that only force could guarantee their safety.

So in the past few decades, they have tried every means to purchase weapons and equipment through various channels, learn human training models, and improve them to make those trainings closer to bionics.

"The Council of Baker City doesn't trust the androids. They used to have an army of androids, but then they destroyed all the androids. They are afraid."

Afraid that if one day war comes.

The huge army of bionics suddenly mutinied and pointed their guns at the parliament building.

"You are very young, and you are a fifth-generation bionic." Lu Wen looked at him. "So the time for you to become a leader should be very short. Does every leader need to lead by example?"

"Yes, my friend."

Fang Zhou took out an iron plate hanging around his neck.

Rust spreads on this iron plate that has experienced vicissitudes of life.

Above is a number.

"11, this is my number. A year ago, the No. 11 leader of the previous generation had an accident when he sneaked into Baker City for a weapon transaction. The other party took the money, but did not provide the weapon. The leader caught it, and eventually...he blew himself up."

The iron plate flew very far in the explosion.

It was picked up by other bionics and sent back to no man's land.

"Later, this number was passed on to me." Fang Zhou looked at Lu Wen, "Number Nine, my friend, your wisdom is enough to make you one of the twelve leaders who lead the organization to glory. I am here, very soon. Chen sincerely invites you to join our organization."

"So trust me?"

Lu Wen was a little surprised.

They had only met for two hours, and they were about to invite him to be one of the twelve leaders.

Are all the androids outside Baker so straightforward?

"You are someone trusted by Dr. Jiang, and your ideas coincide with ours. Force is the most basic guarantee for bionics to gain dignity. I think one of the reasons why you came to Baker City is to give The bionics in Mowu City are looking for a way out," Fang Zhou said.

"Yeah, those guys are going to be in trouble."

The wind and sand in the no man's land is very noisy.

Yin Juneyue did not get involved in the matter between the bionics.

She said goodbye to the two, went back to find Dr. Jiang, and continued to observe the movements of the entire Baker City.

Lu Wen and Fang Zhou drove to the no man's land.

"Based on the numbers alone, there should be more bionics outside Mowu City than here, but they are more scattered, and the alliance has not been established until now."

Through the information Lu Wen passed to him, Fang Zhou obtained an overview of the bionic organization outside Mowu City.

To his surprise, there were so many androids, but there was not even a single armored vehicle.

"My friend, the material control in your place is too strict. No wonder the bionic alliance can't resist. They don't have the ability to resist."

The bionic organization in Mowu City, the biggest threat to the city does not come from the frontal battlefield, but those bionics who have replaced human identities.

"We have gathered more than nine million bionics. The exact number is immeasurable. Every day, new bionics escape from the city and join us, but nearly seven million of them are housekeeping bionics. "

Even in Baker City, the number of housekeeping bionics still accounts for the majority.

Their strength setting is far less than the average adult human, and their combat effectiveness is quite weak. In the case of one-on-one with bare hands, they are not opponents of adult humans at all.

"Because Baker City doesn't trust military bionics, the number of military bionics we have gathered has just reached 30,000, and the best equipment is given priority to military bionics."

"We divided all the bionics into twelve organizational groups, scattered in every corner of the no-man's land, taking care of each other, and changing addresses every once in a while to avoid being discovered by humans. Even if they found out, there was nothing they could do."

Fang Zhou showed Lu Wen the current positions of the twelve organizations.

Very reasonable address allocation.

If one of the organizations is attacked, there are at least three surrounding organizations that can provide emergency reinforcements.

"The more than 1,000 bionics who went to the urban area today were selected from among the 30,000 people. It's a pity that we don't have enough ammunition reserves, and the urban area is not our main battlefield, otherwise we wouldn't be repelled by those gangsters. "

Speaking of those underground organizations in Baker City, Fang Zhou's tone was a little disdainful.

If it is in no man's land.

Even if the nineteen super-large underground organizations, together with other small underground organizations, come to no man's land, they are no match for the bionic organization.

"Besides me, there are five other leaders who acted with me today, but they may not be able to escape...Number nine, my friend, you may be able to get the number nine."

Just over two hours away, they came to one of the twelve organizations.

It's also the closest large organization to downtown Baker City.

Standing on the dry and cracked mound, looking around.

Countless khaki tents.

These tents covered the entire plain, without seeing the edge, patchwork and uniform, spreading to the end of the sky.

Bionic people coming and going shuttled between the tents.

This is a mobile city of bionics, they can pack up all the tents in the shortest possible time, bring supplies, and go to the next location.

In such harsh conditions, the advantages of bionics can be brought to the extreme.

The visual senses are quite shocking.

Tall barbed wire fences surrounded all the tents.

Countless armored vehicles were patrolling the outermost perimeter, and billowing dust was blowing up in the strong wind. Their heavy bodies did not affect the speed of these armored vehicles, and they roared past.

"How many people are there?" Lu Wen asked.

"More than one million. This organization is relatively large among the twelve organizations. Each organization has no clear leader, and any of the twelve people can lead it."

More than one million people can be so orderly.

The management method of these bionics somewhat imitates the military management of human beings, maintaining the highest vigilance at all times.

Lu Wen even saw rocket launchers not far away.

In his information, there is a detailed description of this rocket launcher, with a range of 50 kilometers, twelve launch tubes, and super powerful firepower, which can launch all shells in a very short time.

Due to the suppression of the Supreme Council.

In this age of missile extinction, the deterrence of rocket launchers can almost determine the direction of a small-scale war.

Truth is everywhere within range.

Lu Wen remembered a long time ago, there was a girl named Katyusha, she was simple and kind...

"Are all these weapons brought from Baker City?"

"Yes, some high-level members of the military are our own people, and some people were threatened by the corrupt information we collected and had to provide us with weapons."

The corruption of the Baker City army has almost been put on the bright side, and a tacit understanding has been formed from top to bottom.

But there are still many ordinary people who don't know it.

If a person's corruption information is exposed, in order to calm the anger of the people, the parliament can only ask that person to resign and spend the rest of his life in prison.

Therefore, if you can avoid corruption, don't touch it. If you do, it will leave people with a clue and be punished by others.

The entire Baker City has become the nutrient for the growth of the bionics in no man's land.

People in Parliament know this is a vicious circle, but they can't think of a better solution.

"Fang Zhou, my friend, you are finally back!"

Outside the gate of the base, many bionics were waiting for them.
