Darkness is Coming

"Not necessarily." Yu Qian disagreed with Yang Xiaoqian's statement, "As long as an EMP missile hits the Zero-One base, Liu Yuanzhou's machine network loses its command center, and no amount of omnic corps can keep him, and Liu Yuanzhou loses these foreign objects. Its own combat effectiveness is actually weak. The same is true when it is put on the battlefield. Didn't the consultant just say that laser weapons are affected by the weather. If you choose a bomber to drop EMP missiles in a foggy day, you can turn those machines into scrap metal. Is it?"

   The means shown by Liu Yuanzhou obviously made Yu Qian uneasy. Even though Liu Yuanzhou is an ally with the Yuanjiao Society and the Parliament, after developing the habit of thinking in the political arena, Yu Qian does not trust the so-called ally.

Yu Qian trusts Yang Xiaoqian, not only because he and Yang Xiaoqian are friends of life and death, but also because Yang Xiaoqian's own interests and the interests of the entire Yuanjiao Society stand on the same front as Yu Qian and the Awakened Council represented by Yu Qian. Lose all.

A    person may betray another, but he will not betray himself, nor his interests.

It is precisely because he understands this truth that Yang Xiaoqian deliberately crosses the chains of interests of both parties—for example, after Jiang Tongguang dismissed the leader of the investigation team, Yang Xiaoqian specifically approved him to enter the parliament to establish the Awakened Criminal Procuratorate—otherwise, Yuanjian would be leaving with the parliament. Far from the river, it should be distanced rather than closer.

  Therefore, Yang Xiaoqian has sufficient reasons for Yu Qian to trust, but Liu Yuanzhou is different. The relationship between Liu Yuanzhou and Yu Qian and even with Yang Xiaoqian has always remained in a delicate state. If there is a definition, it should be mutual use, not life and death.

Therefore, Yu Qian's worry is not unreasonable. Since the establishment of the front finger on the corpse, Liu Yuanzhou has always been "inhumane". Who knows if there will be a day when Liu Yuanzhou thinks that the awakened person has no meaning to continue to exist, so he has a big hand. Wield, erase the existence of the parliament, and all Yu Qian's efforts?

When an individual is too powerful, even the closest of the same kind will doubt it due to fear and worry. Yang Xiaoqian is a little dazed at the moment, vaguely thinking of why Liu Yuanzhou should inform him of his arrangements in advance, and why he should use it in Shanghai The means are pompous.

The former is to show Liu Yuanzhou's determination to get rid of his human identity and to dispel Yang Xiaoqian's unnecessary worries and fears. It is true that all of this is Liu Yuanzhou's own words, and Yang Xiaoqian is not sure whether Liu Yuanzhou will finally give up his life as he said, and put himself and Bai Bai together. The brain is built into a ladder to a new world.

But at the same time, no matter Yang Xiaoqian or Chairman Wen, there is no one in this world who can stop Liu Yuanzhou, so Liu Yuanzhou has no need to make up lies. If he wants to hide the truth, he can hide the existence of Zero One and make it like a mutant. Chaos, fishing in troubled waters, if wars spread all over the world, in the midst of turmoil and strife, who can see Liu Yuanzhou's chess path? Even if you can see clearly? There was no other way but to follow the script he had written.

   Therefore, telling Yang Xiaoqian all this in advance of the showdown is not a trap to relax his vigilance, but probably to clear up the misunderstanding in advance, relieve Yang Xiaoqian's burden, and save him from unnecessary worries.

On the other hand, the fact that Yang Xiaoqian can see through this does not mean that others can see through it. Not everyone has the same experience of fighting alongside Liu Yuanzhou as Yang Xiaoqian, and not everyone understands Liu Yuanzhou like Yang Xiaoqian does. character, character and ability.

   It can be asserted that, in the eyes of most people, no matter how amazing Liu Yuanzhou's performance is, he is also a person with weaknesses, not an invincible god.

  In the arena of power, everyone is not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, and dare to take all risks by all means to ensure that they are not threatened.

   In other words, with Liu Yuanzhou's development, he will inevitably encounter resistance from the "threatened".

To build an omnipotent army, it is far from enough to rely on the zero-one base. This requires not only scientific research talents in related fields, but also equipment and factories, as well as the supply of raw materials and parts. The complex production chain cannot be completely realized without Humanization, at least not yet.

   Therefore, there must be a small number of people who knew about the existence of this unmanned army before, but it is hard to say how many people know and who they are.

Yang Xiaoqian does not think that all the top leaders of the central government have 100% trust in Liu Yuanzhou. Supporting high-tech development is the general trend, but supporting technological development does not mean supporting Liu Yuanzhou as an individual. There is a big gap between the two, especially when Liu Yuanzhou showed After the horror of itself.

Previously, Huaxia lagged behind the United States and the Russian Federation in several fields of science and technology. No one would object to the development of the Zero One Base to develop a strong army and a strong country. But now it is different. It is inevitable that there will be some lack of crisis awareness or excessive crisis awareness. The Sidley guys will jump out and find ways to thwart restrictions.

   It is not difficult for Liu Yuanzhou to break obstacles, but solving problems always requires energy and time. As a racer who is racing against time, it is naturally the best to be able to eliminate obstacles in advance.

   And Liu Yuanzhou obviously has no interest or time to play tricks, so showing force now is the most convenient and quickest way.

   Those who are really short-sighted, simple-minded and impulsive, and act recklessly, cannot have any influence on Liu Yuanzhou at all, because they cannot climb to a high enough position, and those in high positions will not fail to understand the situation and weigh the pros and cons.

Now Liu Yuanzhou has shown a strength that no one can compete with. All conspiracies and tricks will be self-defeating. No one will choose a struggle that is bound to fail, and there will be no unnecessary conflicts. Powerful.

It is also interesting to think about it. It seems that everyone who is the world's most intelligent person will eventually go to the path of breaking the skill with force and not working with great skill, because no one in this world is worthy of being their opponent, and their wisdom can only be used to break human beings. The boundaries of the world's past, rather than playing with "low-energy" peers.

   "Yang Xiaoqian, what about you!"

   "Huh?" Yang Xiaoqian came back to his senses, but didn't remember what Yu Qian asked.

   Seeing Yang Xiaoqian staring at the air and wandering the sky, hanging himself aside, not listening to what he asked at all, Yu Qian suddenly felt that his spleen was expanding.

   "I ask, if you have EMP weapons, you can deal with Liu Yuanzhou's army of machines, right?" Yu Qian gritted his teeth and said each word, as if the words were squeezed out of his teeth.

"Yes, it's not right, it's hard to say." Yang Xiaoqian thought for a while and answered his opinion seriously, "Most military equipment now has three defenses, and conventional EMP weapons can block them, but they can't block the creatures that appeared in Nandu before. EMP, if new EMP weapons can be developed in a targeted manner, it should be able to destroy most of the military facilities. However, Liu Yuanzhou can't be prepared without taking precautions. You have also seen the research and development capabilities of Zero One Base, I am afraid that it was long before others developed new EMP weapons. , he has already completed the comprehensive upgrade of military machinery, and it is hard to say how much damage the EMP weapons can cause."

"Besides, even if an EMP weapon can destroy all electronic equipment, it has to hit it before it can have an effect. You have seen the laser cannon just now, and you also understand the computing power of strong artificial intelligence. Plus Liu Yuanzhou, one hundred and seventy-four Bai and Liu Zhongqian, who can predict the future, which missile do you think can successfully hit the Zero One base without being intercepted?"

"What's more, I can't even find the target. The real core of the Zero One Base lies in Liu Yuanzhou and Zero One, not those supercomputers. Presumably now, Liu Yuanzhou has destroyed all the electronic files related to the construction project of Zero One Base. The text It is estimated that they have all been destroyed... If you can't even find him, you still want to deal with him?"

Yu Qian is silent, others can't see where he is, but he can understand all the movements of others and calculate all the possibilities of taking different actions. If you want to play against such a person, you really can't see the chance of winning. No wonder Bai sat in front of the chessboard and hesitated. Half a day but not a child.

"If you can't deal with Liu Yuanzhou, there is still a way to deal with the machine army. If you launch a large number of EMP missiles at the same time, or find a way to let the awakened people with special abilities bring the EMP weapons into the area where the machine is located... Forget it, there is no such thing as saying that. Meaning, it is too difficult, and it has no meaning at all. If the machine is broken, it can be repaired or replaced at any time. It can be rebuilt. If a batch of drones or unmanned tanks and unmanned combat vehicles are destroyed, it is not at all for Zero One Base. It doesn't hurt." Yu Qian finally recognized the view that "Liu Yuanzhou is invincible", and then quickly thought of another point, "So, this time Liu Yuanzhou is showing his wrists to shock Xiaoxiao, lest some idiots jump out to obstruct him. A big plan, wasting his time?"

"No one knows what Liu Yuanzhou wants to do, what he is doing, and what he is going to do. But I also think he is deterring, and the target is not only some stubborn conservatives in China, but also more than 200 large and small around the world. A country." Yang Xiaoqian reached out and fiddled with the globe on the desk, the big screen on the wall showed a world map, and it adjusted as the globe turned, the area left in the center of the screen was always the area touched by Yang Xiaoqian's finger, when the index finger Pause on a region, and the country or province represented by that region will zoom in.

"Look, including my country, only 17 countries have received warnings in advance. After the secret summit of the 17 countries, they carried out a large number of military operations. In three months, the United States conducted five 'military exercises'. How can they hide it? Smart people? Now only Shang Hai has cracks, and when the second wave of magic comes completely, monsters will appear all over the world, and no one can guess what happened before."

"You said, what are the thoughts of other countries that have not received the alert? Think about it again, can the various plans formulated by the Seventeen Summit really be implemented as expected? Every country has a lofty and great humanitarian spirit and never wants to Taking advantage of the chaos for profit, and only thinking about helping other disaster-stricken countries? Even if the leaders have this idea, will the people agree?"

"In addition to all kinds of old grudges and hatreds, as long as some small countries create a spark, they can pull in the surrounding big countries along the lead, and then detonate the entire powder keg. When other countries are in chaos, we can't watch the fire from the other side of the world. Economic integration is not just talk. Once the top economic entities in the world, such as the United States, Japan, the European Union, and Canada, are caught in the perennial war, the whole world will be affected. Will Zero One Base not like this result? Stability is beneficial develop."

"So, Liu Yuanzhou's eyes are actually not on Shang Hai. He not only wants to keep the Chinese people safe, but also tries his best to maintain the stability of other countries?" Yu Qian said while thinking, "If you want to maintain stability, Someone needs to establish order and manage it, and to establish order requires the right to speak. Now that the tide of magic is coming, and the chaotic times are coming, whoever has the bigger fist will have the right to speak, so Liu Yuanzhou will show his fist and use force to deter other countries. , so that they dare not act rashly."

   "Probably so."

Yu Qian asked another question: "I don't know much about the so-called modern army. Can such an unmanned army really shock the world? We know the capabilities of Liu Yuanzhou and Liu Zhongqian, but others don't know. It looks like it's just a small new type of force."

"Well, the scale is indeed not large, but the deterrent effect is absolutely sufficient." Yang Xiaoqian thought about it for a while in his mind, and after thinking of a few examples, he said, "Let's talk about drones first, do you think this thing is actually very effective? Limited? Actually not so. Using drones to fight monsters is indeed limited, but think about it from another angle, what about using drones to fight tanks?”

"Think about it, what would happen if you put anti-tank missiles on this kind of drone and launch a suicide attack on the tank? The tank's muzzle has a limited shooting angle, and it can't hit the flexible drone at all. If there is no infantry to cooperate with protection, a A drone with a cost of several thousand can destroy a tank worth tens of millions. Even if there are infantry to cooperate with protection, and there is an air defense fire network, what can it be? Nowadays, the detection technology of micro drones in the world is not mature, and it is necessary to deal with micro drones. Drones are very labor-intensive, and the cost of drones is so cheap that once a war of attrition starts, even the United States cannot last for long.”

"On the other hand, Zero One Base has already used the ready-made drone countermeasure technology. You can see that the radars placed on the prevention and control position just now should be dedicated to reconnaissance and positioning of small and medium-sized flying units, which can detect flying monsters at night. , it will definitely be able to detect micro drones, coupled with drone countermeasure guns, fight as many as you want, and the countermeasures will cost less."

"This means that in the field of drone operations, Huaxia, or Zero One Base, is ahead of other countries. Both the spear and the shield are in Liu Yuanzhou's hands. How can others fight him? Let alone Zero One. The base has also developed a three-dimensional electronic sand table, a powerful all-solid-state laser weapon, and more."

   "Is this deterrent strong enough?"

  Yu Qian couldn't refute, he could only nod his head and sigh: "Big deal."

   For some reason, he added another sentence: "I don't know when we will be able to have such a big deal."

  Some people want to climb the mountain when they see it, while others will walk their own way honestly in awe of the mountain. Yang Xiaoqian avoided answering Yu Qian's idea of ​​"climbing a mountain".
