Chapter 252: Conspiracy
It was a rather unquiet morning for the city of Mou.
Chaos is two words that describe everything.
And on this side of no man's land, everything is in order.
The people of the Bionic Alliance are taking Lu Wen and the Ark on a tour of the city under construction, just as they had taken Martin with them not long ago.
"Our plan is to divide the city into four districts, each with a capacity of at least five million people, and leave room for expansion to accommodate fellow androids who come in later."
Ma Bo introduced Lu Wen, his tone full of pride.
Whizzing heavy machinery drove past the city roads beside them.
The sand, cement, bricks, steel bars, etc., are constantly being transported from the city of Mou.
Countless tall tower cranes have been erected in the city, and the long tower crane boom beams are lying across the city, moving slowly.
The pre-war high-rise buildings were all bulldozed.
Many androids dismantle the collapsed ruins and transport them out of the city, where special machines are responsible for breaking up the waste and using it to pave the city's roads, or as the foundation for roads outside the city to other cities.
Flying dust filled the city.
If you were a human, you would definitely not be able to endure such a severe smoke, but fortunately, they are all androids, so it doesn't matter.
"Over the years, the connections and money we have accumulated in Mou City are enough for us to support the construction of a city." Ma Bo said.
"But in this way, those compatriots who have taken the place of identity are also exposed." The Ark reminded.
"Now that the treaty has been signed, even if they are exposed, they will not be hunted down by the Human Executive Directorate, and they can continue to live in Mou City as before."
"What if Mowu City repents?" Ark asked again.
"Of course not, their parliamentarians came to the no-man's land, spent days, and their saliva was dry, just to argue with us about the treaty, how could they suddenly go back on it?"
The ark was silent.
Seeing Lu Wen and Fang Zhou's appearance, Ma Bo knew that they still didn't recognize the city, so he continued to take him to look at other places.
"We plan to focus on building this large area in the south first, so that some of our fellow androids can live in, and ask them to make improvements in the process of living, and slowly improve the whole city."
They are now visiting the southern part of the city.
Quite a large area.
In terms of the main area of the ruins, the city was much larger than the urban area of Mou.
But it is smaller than the entire city of Mou.
The suburbs of Mou and the surrounding towns occupy a large area.
"Actually, I'm here today...... The main purpose is to persuade you to give up building the city. Lu Wen pondered for a long time, but still said this sentence.
Everyone stopped.
Everyone in the Bionic Alliance knew that Lu Wen would definitely still say this, but they still wanted Lu Wen to take a look and see what they had achieved so far.
Marbo is the most incomprehensible, the city is his heart's work.
He put this Lu Wen's shoulder and said seriously: "Nine, my friend, you take a closer look at this city, we have succeeded!" This is a success for all androids! ”
Ma Bo pointed to the places that were under construction.
"Just give me a year, and after a year, the city will take shape"
"I will also build water sources, introduce animals and vegetation, stabilize wind and sand, and create a company that belongs to bionic people, whether it is manufacturing, tourism or finance, so that the prosperity of the city will not be inferior to that of Mowu in the years to come."
Ma Bo described a rather bright future.
Every android has the ability to deduce the future.
In his deduction, the city will gradually become what he wants to be.
As the leader of the first generation of the Androids Alliance, his name will forever be recorded in the chronicles of the androids, and he will even have his own sculpture in the center of the city.
Lu Wen sighed and looked at the android in front of him.
He felt that Ma Bo was too stubborn and already a little crazy.
"I've spent many years living in human cities, studying human character and behavior, just to make sure that this day comes, that there will be no mistakes."
Marbo did do a lot of things.
It took him more than ten years to raise the favor of humans towards androids in Mou City, send invitations to each ruined city to propose an alliance, and do his best.
Perhaps he was born with this idea after he learned that Eden in the North had been successfully built.
"Maybe there's another way." Lu Wen persuaded: "This city has always been under the noses of human beings, it is too dangerous, you can use the construction of this city as a cover, go further south, and build an underground city on the land covered with snow." ”
"It's a similar idea to us."
Martin wore a mask and followed at the back of the line.
He was observing Lu Wen.
Ever since he arrived, he had often heard the word 'Nine' come out of the mouths of some androids, who were said to have played an important role in the battle for a treasure.
After what he had just observed, he could now confirm that this Nine was indeed a little different from other androids.
Even the android next to Nine, who called himself Ark, was very different from these guys outside Mou City.
Ideological differences.
"You're from Eden?" Lu Wen asked.
"Yes, Martin Brown, just call me Martin."
"I've always heard that the leader of Eden is a human, but I didn't expect that the leader was not just human."
Naturally, this young man in front of him could not be a leader.
When Eden was founded, he was supposed to be a few years old.
"When Eden was first established, it adopted a lot of human children, and it hasn't stopped over the years, and I'm one of the first ones."
Martin explained.
"We have the same idea as you, if the androids outside Mou City do want to build a city, they can go further south, it's safer there."
But it was clear that neither Eden's suggestion nor Lu Wen's suggestion was prepared to be listened to by this android alliance.
They're just talking in vain.
"It seems that there is really no way to reach an agreement, so let's do it, I'll go back first." Lu Wen said hello to everyone.
"Nine, I'll prove it to you with actual results."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Lu Wen eventually drove away with the Ark.
They were joined by three people from Eden, Martin and two androids to be exact.
They say they've been here long enough to see the Nine organization again and then head back to Eden.
The Androids Coalition said a few words of retention, and finally watched a few people leave.
"What the hell are Nine and that guy in Eden worried about? Are you afraid that humanity will regret it? The leader of one of the alliances sighed.
"It doesn't matter, whether there are them or not, the final result will not change, we will establish a kingdom that belongs to androids, and they will understand when the time comes."
"They're worried about a human conspiracy, aren't they?"
When Eden was first established, many people said that it was a human conspiracy.
They believe that humans will use the city to attract androids scattered around the no-man's land, and that when the androids gather enough, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
But more than a decade has passed.
The city was unharmed.
Time tells.
……
Martin didn't want to take a look at Lu Wen's organization, he just had some ideas, so he wanted to briefly chat with Lu Wen.
So he sat in Lu Wen's co-pilot.
It wasn't until he was far enough away that the outline of the city could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror before he asked, "Nine, how is your appeal in the no-man's land of Mowu City?" ”
Lu Wenming understood what he meant, and could only say regretfully: "I don't have appeal here, except for the androids I organized myself, other androids probably won't listen to me." ”
"But I think you're pretty famous."
"Being famous doesn't necessarily mean appealing, and many criminals are also famous."
Martin obviously hoped that Lu Wen could call on the androids to leave the city and find another place to build a city.
But the androids were all summoned by Mabo.
In their minds, this alliance of androids is the only place to be, trustworthy.
"Eden asked me to come over this time, just to prevent them from building a city, and at the worst of all, to take up a seat when they negotiate, and to fight for enough benefits, but I still came one step too late."
By the time Martin arrived, the dust had settled.
Those people don't listen to persuasion, so his presence is useless.
"Negotiations are useless, be prepared, the confrontation is coming." Lu Wen said.
"But now, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, confrontation is impossible, and it is very likely to be a one-sided massacre." Martin was worried.
The androids are too dense, and with just a few light weapons, they don't have enough resistance power.
"You'll find out later."
Lu Wen smiled and didn't explain much.
There are many things that you will only believe if you see them with your own eyes.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Wen would have found it hard to believe that Baker City could actually raise such a huge army of androids.
"I'd rather like to know your attitude towards humans." Lu Wen said.
"We?"
Martin was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Lu Wen is talking about these humans who were raised by androids.
"In fact, in Eden, we have been taught peace-oriented since childhood, and if we can avoid war with humans, we will try to avoid it."
Martin didn't answer positively.
It may be difficult for them to tell which side they are leaning towards.
"You're all growing up living in human cities?"
"Yes."
Martin did not deny it.
"When we grow up, we will be sent to the nine major cities, and everyone can choose for themselves, and most of them will choose the two cities in the north."
Those are also the two cities that the androids of Eden are most familiar with.
Those two cities are friendly to androids, so humans raised by androids won't have any stress to live in them.
"Of course, we usually have a certain background, especially in other cities than the two cities in the north."
Martin says that the people of Eden are very good at falsifying their identities.
In this way, it is easy for the humans raised by them to integrate into other cities.
"Mowu also has your people?" Lu Wen asked.
"Absolutely." Martin nodded.
"Then why did you come from the north? Wouldn't it be better to call someone from Mowu City directly to convey the message? ”
"They all have a task on their side, it's important, and they can't walk away."
"Why not pick the nearest flight? Worried about being identified? ”
"I do have that concern."
Lu Wen stopped asking, and recognized the identity of the person in front of him.
Maybe it's because there are too many things lately, one after another, that he is too sensitive and feels that everything is problematic.
Even though he shook hands with the two Eden androids and completed the data transmission to confirm his identity, Lu Wen was still not at ease, so he asked a few more questions.
Martin's performance was within the normal range.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The car drove over the cracked earth, leaving the mark of the wheels, which were then buried by the wind and sand.
The time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Now the visibility in the no-man's land is not bad.
Lu Wen did not return to his organization, but took Martin directly to the place where the androids in Baker City were stationed, and all the androids were already in place.
The car roared up a high slope.
Stand on the top of the slope.
All the sights ahead are unobstructed.
Under the earthy yellow sky, yellow sand rolls down.
Dense tents, armored vehicles coming and going, high barbed wire, and no edge visible at a glance, this is a sea of androids.
A fighter jet pierced the sky, and the sound of a sonic boom was deafening.
Martin's eyes widened.
"This ...... It's ......"
