Although they had been prepared for a long time, the entire Karen Kingdom's high-level and dragon clan were preparing with the mentality of "taking the initiative", and as a result, the enemy suddenly launched a large-scale attack, which really caught people off guard.

Especially now this kind of "aimless" attack, Camilla feels that the demon has become a gopher popping up everywhere, and she hopes that the other party can make a move, because in this way you can lock on and kill the enemy - but everyone understands that behind this multi-point flowering attack, there must be a sharper attack of the other party, but the time is difficult to determine and the form is elusive.

If there is anything that can make the top decision-makers feel afraid, the "unpredictability" brought about by Cazwila's fighting style is probably something that really gives Roddy and others a headache and fears.

"This is the Sweeper Squad, please answer when you receive it. ”

A voice suddenly came from the magic circle, and the mage who had been waiting immediately responded: "The bridge of the Hovera has received a message, please report the battle situation, over." ”

"The portal has been destroyed, the demons near the bombardment area have been dealt with, there are no more demons around, we are exploring outside, we have just killed three escaped infected beasts, if-"

At this point, the other party's tone suddenly changed: "There are a large number of demons attacking on the right wing!

Camila's face remained unchanged, and she replied directly: "Then report the coordinates!

The other party calmed down at this remark, and then hurriedly said: "Clark! Signal flares! The enemy is two hundred and twenty meters to the south of us, no, two hundred meters! They are very fast, and they are still approaching!"

As he spoke, the sound of hedron guns firing was already heard all around, and Camilla turned her eyes to the side, but did not let the crew control the guns, because it would take at least a minute or more to confirm the accuracy of manual adjustments.

She directly activated a small, inconspicuous-looking magic circle next to her.

After the faint light lit up, Camila slid her finger over it a few times—the surface of the circle glowed, and the guns on the side of the "Hoveira" began to adjust rapidly almost at the same time, but it took only ten seconds to lock the position.

Camila glanced at it and immediately gave the order to "fire", and in the next moment, the support artillery immediately bombarded those demons...

Half an hour later, the "Sweeper Squad", which had completed its mission, returned to the "Hoveira" with the wounded. Because of the rapid support, the sudden appearance of thirty or forty infected beasts did not pose any threat, only three members of the team were injured by the impact of the shell explosion, and the others were unscathed.

And the magic circle of meritorious service has come to a standstill, and the hedron on it that has exhausted its energy has also been removed.

On the way back, Camilla kept looking out the window thinking about something, while Nefi, who was allowed to enter the command area of the bridge, looked at the magic circle that had just "assisted in locking the coordinates" and asked, "Captain, the reaction speed of this magic circle just now seems to be faster than last time." ”

She's used to being called that.

"Well, I optimized it halfway through, but it hasn't worked as expected. ”

Camila replied, and Nefi scratched his head, "Is this the so-called 'smart'?"

The reason why I say this is because the angle adjustment of the turret just now is not "manual", but the circle automatically adjusts according to the coordinates... In other words, in a sense, this can be called an "intelligent" magic circle, which is not the same concept as an ordinary magic circle at all, and belongs to the existence that can calculate and make continuous decisions on its own.

However, Camilla did not use it to assist in the first shelling because the circle consumed too much energy - just to deal with the "coordinate adjustment" task just now, it consumed the energy of two charged hedron units, which is enough energy for a currently produced "hedron car" to run more than 100 kilometers.

Simple commands are still like this, not to mention dealing with more complex instructions, and although Camilla has touched the edge of the "intelligent circle" under the inheritance of the Grand Arcanist Khadgar, she can only be regarded as a scratch of the surface at present.

Her arcane skills have improved rapidly, and she has made rapid progress in the "intelligence" circle due to the war and the affairs of the "Hovira" that she is currently in charge of—but the more she studies these things, the more she discovers that the so-called "intelligence" circle is nothing more than a circle that can process information on its own, and it is a fool's dream to "think for yourself".

It's not a matter of probability, it's that she's on this path and doesn't see any hope of achieving "self-awareness"... No matter how elaborate the design of the circle is, it can only deal with problems according to the route it has designed, and there is absolutely no possibility of "thinking for itself".

So Camilla has been pondering a question at this time: How did the "self-consciousness" of Elson City, that is, the existence known as "Turing", come into being?

However, Nephie didn't know much about the circle, she just thought about the "optimization" of the circle, and asked, "Is the information it has to process too complicated?"

"It's because I'm so poor that I can only do this. ”

Camila doesn't feel embarrassed to admit it in front of her daughter. Spells all the way, what works is what works, what doesn't work is what doesn't work, there is no middle ground.

Naifi said: "Brother Roddy always has a way to do this kind of thing, why don't you ask his opinion?"

"Well, let's talk about it, he's probably a lot busier than we are right now. ”

Camila didn't take it seriously, but Neffi nodded, made a note of it, and urged her mother to write a letter when she returned to Elson.

And when the letter arrived in Hollier City, Roddy was not in the cabinet meeting as before—at this time, he had just arrived at the southernmost port of the kingdom by plane, looking at the mess outside the shipyard, squinting his eyes and being silent for a moment before he spoke: "There is only one wave of fishmen attacking here?"

"Yes, Prime Minister, fortunately, there were fish-man guards in the water who gave early warning, and we also took precautions according to what you said during the construction before, and the counterattacks of the guards and mages were effective, and those monsters were quickly killed..."

The bodies had long since been cleaned up, but there were still dried blood stains on the walls of the shipyard, and there were pits and body fragments left by the spell bombardment on the ground.

Roddy kicked away a few purple scales with his boots and stepped into the shipyard.

The huge figure of the steel battleship appeared in view, and the towering chimney suddenly reminded him of the steam battleships emitting black smoke in his memory.

Two huge naval guns have been installed, and busy workers are working with the mage on the installation of the third battery, and this step means that the internal structure of the warship has been completed. So Luo Di went in directly and walked up and down, and then said: "Find someone to dock with the 'Plane Circle Research Department', more workers are already on the train, the dock needs to be expanded, and we don't have much time." ”

After a pause, he added: "From now on, the military defense level here is the highest level, and the civilian residential areas must be isolated. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister!"
