Chapter 7: The Oasis Lab Incident

A secluded valley beneath the snow-capped ridge of the British Mountains, a trickling stream cascades down the slope.

Pooled into a lake in the valley, the lake is as calm as a mirror, with the occasional ripple of small insects spreading out in all directions.

Even the bird's call seemed a little lonely. Suddenly, a large hovercar arrives inadvertently from a distance.

The tranquil valley suddenly moved, and many shots appeared around the hovercar, and a mountain near the lake suddenly cracked, revealing a wide platform.

The hovercar is parked on the platform and the mountain is closed.

This is a high-level secret institute of the Green Alliance's Defense Committee, specializing in war robots.

Located in such an inaccessible valley with nothing unusual on the outside, it is difficult for even the most brilliant spies to find.

But now, they're getting annoyed. Two more hovercars came from a distance, and out of them was Conant, the senior commander of the Green Alliance's Defense Committee.

There was a major accident in the research institute just now, and a newly developed robot stole the administrator's authority and escaped from the institute in a hovering car.

The first few cars, also senior officials of the Defense Council, were standing anxiously pointing around a sand table in the command room, which showed the mountainous landscape of the Alpine Mountains and the cities of the surrounding countries.

Seeing Conant come in, everyone greeted each other, and their eyes fell on the sand table again.

"Does anyone know where the robot is right now?" Conant picked up his baton and stared at the crowd around him.

"An hour ago, the robot's location information disappeared in Liechtenstein, and we estimate that he blocked the location information." The director of the institute replied.

"No, no, no," the secretary in charge of the institute stammered.

"What's the hurry, say it slowly". The director of the institute was in a terrible mood, and what could be worse than a robot escaping, which had only been discussed in theory before, but he didn't expect it to become a reality in his own hands.

"There is a nationwide power outage in Dunston ,。。。。" The secretary gasped

"What's so strange about a blackout, what a fuss about。。。。。" The supervisor interrupted the secretary

"Don't rush, speak slowly." Conant raised his hand to stop the director of the institute from continuing to vent.

"The power outage in Dunston was a sudden power outage without any warning or notice." The secretary finally evened out what he had done.

"Adjust the power monitoring to confirm whether it is a fault of the power generation equipment." Dunston is so small that electricity is supplied by neighboring countries.

The operation status of the power stations and lines in each region is quickly displayed on the screen. "Except for the disconnection of the central substation in Liechtenstein, everything else is normal." The researcher pointed to a place with a flashing red light.

"Give me a call from the King of Tenstein". Conant said with a deep groan.

The secretary went to the phone, checked the number, and then dialed the phone, "Tooh... Honk..... Honk...... ”。

The ringing of the telephone hit the hearts of everyone present, as if there was a trembling feeling, everyone held their breath, in addition to the ringing of the phone, the sound of a pin falling on the ground in the room could be heard, everyone hoped that someone would answer the phone.

The phone rang and didn't answer. The atmosphere in the room became even more dreary, and the secretary dialed again, and the bell rang again.

But still no one answered, people's hearts sank, everyone knows what it means, it is impossible for the palace to go unanswered?

"The design of the robot, the controller follows me". With a wave of his hand, Conant was the first to walk out of the control room.

Everyone got into the car, and the director of the institute also got into the car.

"What are you doing here?" Conant was clearly a little unhappy with the director of this institute.

"General, I am the project host, and the main program is written by me."

"You wrote it?" Conant didn't expect to look away, "Then come up!" "Two hovertrucks came out one after the other.

Conant's heart was heavy, this robot was the latest research result, equipped with the most advanced electromagnetic weapons available.

If there is enough energy, it is a weapon that destroys everything. The power outage in Dunston may have been caused by its own energy reserves.

It is possible that he attacked the palace. You can only know when you go to the scene.

Two hovercars flew one after the other to the vicinity of the palace square, and the car in front of it slowly landed on the square with officials from the Defense Council.

Just as he was about to reach the ground, there was a flash of light, and the hovercar flashed blue sparks as if it had been struck by lightning. With a "boom", the hovercar completely disintegrated.

"Withdraw, withdraw". The hovercar rushed into the air at high speed.

"What is the range of the robot's electromagnetic gun?" Director of the Conant Rotor Research Institute.

"4500 meters." The director of the institute is quite proficient in business, and he answered casually.

"What is the distance we are from the palace now?" Conant looked at the driver, who looked at the meter, height 6500, and replied casually: "Height 6500 meters," and then pressed a ranging button, and the screen showed 10500, "10500 meters from the palace".

Hover.

β€œYes!" The hovercar was parked in mid-air

"Call the NSA security forces and ask them to send anti-terrorist units here as soon as possible, carrying high-explosive weapons, and leaving the robots here at all costs."

β€œYes,S

." The driver said yes and started calling. Conant knew very well that the robot could not be allowed to leave here, so the hovercar had to be monitored in the air before the security forces arrived, and the robot could not be allowed to escape, which would be very troublesome if it did.

"Prepare the electromagnetic cannon and destroy it on the spot if you find a robot coming out."

β€œYes,S

."

"Come here." Conant beckoned the two researchers in charge of research to his side, "What better way do you guys do this?"

"This robot already has human-like thinking, and the speed of computing is not comparable to humans, once it is an enemy of humans, he will take the initiative to avoid humans, which is very troublesome." One of the researchers said.

"Didn't you design the program with that in mind?"

"We take these into account, and when the robot is in use, we will use the main control panel to lock and release the robot, and the maximum distance can be up to 50 kilometers."

The research director said as he pulled out a tablet-like object from his bag, "We've even designed a self-destruct device that can be used as a tool in enemy formations when the situation is unfavorable. ”

"Then you can use this scoop to control this guy now", Conant really felt like another village.

"Let's do it then," said Connett urgently, for he was rarely so caught in the breath as he was now

"Not right now, because it's in the lab, so we set the control distance to within 10 meters, so we have to find it first, and then we have to get closer to within 10 meters." The research director said helplessly.

Conant suppressed Shin's strong urge to beat people, thinking that his fiery personality in the special forces back then, and the director of the institute still had half a life.

"You mean you have to find the robot first, and you have to keep him from appearing and dive within 10 meters of him?"

Conant knew that this robot was equipped with all the reconnaissance equipment, what infrared, life detection, etc., to dive within 10 meters, without special equipment, it was an impossible task.

"Yes, it can only be destroyed remotely, and it must be destroyed with high-explosive shells."

It is also very difficult to destroy, unless this large area of the palace is destroyed first, who knows how many people are still in the palace, and what a political disaster it should be for a royal family alone.

Conant has a head and two large.

"Report to the general, report to the first brigade of the security forces." Half an hour later, a report came from the intercom.

"Surround the palace, 5,000 meters away from the palace, the robot comes out and destroys it with a high-explosive bomb."

Conant looked out the window and saw no troops, who might have been hiding behind the building, before ordering the arrival of the security forces.

It made him feel a little calmer, at least he didn't have to worry about the robot running away.

"Landing."

"Yes." The hovercar slowly descended to 5,000 meters away from the edge of the square. Conant and his party got out of the car one after another, and a lieutenant colonel ran out from behind the house and saluted Conant.

He then took Conant to a house that had been set up as a war room, with a plan of the palace and a map of the surrounding neighborhoods hanging on the walls.

On the table was a sand table from the royal palace. The lighting of the house is still with field lights, and the electricity has not yet been restored.

"The upper combat department will restore the power supply as soon as possible". The lieutenant colonel agreed, turned his head and gave the order to the staff officer. In less than ten minutes, power was restored.

Conant confronted the sandbox and pondered what he could do to get the robot out of the palace or destroy it inside the palace without causing major damage.

Whatever the circumstances, the power of the explosion cannot be underestimated.

"General, I have an idea that I don't know if it's feasible." The voice of the director of the institute interrupted Conant's musings.

"You say."

"You see, this controller structure is relatively simple, use an ordinary tablet to modify it slightly, add a microwave transmitter and install control software.

According to the area of the palace, one is placed every ten meters to complete the modification, and then these slabs are placed in the palace.

We can remotely control the robot to close its main program, which should be the least expensive solution, what do you think? ”

"I think so." Conant looked at the lieutenant colonel and said, "Do as they do." ”

"Yes." The lieutenant colonel agreed, and took the director of the institute to make a modification plan. To say that the efficiency of the EU ***** is still very high.

After 3 hours, 500 units were completed, and although the slab was ugly, a microwave transmitter was tied to the back of the slab.

Conant used a hovercar to drop these tablets into the palace at 10-meter intervals at an altitude of 5,000 meters, which was a bit difficult.

So a lot of the slabs didn't meet the requirements, and a lot fell on the roof.

The director of the institute operates on a computer and tries to find the robot. Half an hour passed without any findings. The director of the institute couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Don't worry, you control it here, the robot doesn't dare to show its face anymore, it must be hidden in the basement or in a hidden place, not like just now, I'll take a few people to do it."

Push the control board inwards gradually, and eventually you'll find him, Lieutenant Colonel, and I'll find a few nimble men to follow me. ”

"General, let's go, I'm the captain of the action team, besides, you are the supreme commander here, and your post is here." said the lieutenant colonel.

"Go ahead, stay safe!"

"Thank you, General!" The lieutenant colonel led a few men to run in a serpentine run towards the palace, and ran to the hidden place without any hindrance, and one team had just reached the next hidden place.

A blue light inadvertently arrived, blowing up along with the hidden hut, and the lieutenant colonel signaled to pause the operation and look around to see if there was any way to move forward.

Seeing a 5-meter-long water pipe behind a team member, he motioned to hand the water pipe to him, and the lieutenant colonel took the water pipe, found an airdropped tablet nearby, tied the tablet to the water pipe, and pushed the water pipe to the second hidden place.

When the tablet reached the concealment, there was no movement, and the green light of the computer in charge of the institute flashed and disappeared, and the lieutenant colonel pushed the nearby tablet forward while concealing.

Half an hour passed, and the head of the institute was already covered with beads of sweat on his face, but there was still no movement, and he just wanted to get up and wipe his sweat.

Suddenly, a green bright spot flashed on the screen, and he just wanted to operate, when suddenly there was a "boom" from the direction of the palace, and the green dot disappeared again.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please report the status, what's going on?"

"General, we found the robot, he was in a basement, and we sacrificed a brother."

"Be safe and drop the controller in the basement."

"Okay, General." The green dot kept flashing on the research director's computer, and he seized the moment to finally lock on to the robot. Conant finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the reaction speed was fast enough, the robot did not have time to repair and replace the program, and the small school in Dunston had no armed forces, and now it is only the royal family that suffers, which is already the best result.
