The perspective goes back to three months ago.

At that time, the eight-petal flower bosses of the Federation had just finished an economic meeting, and the small role of Ran Lun, a star, jumped at this time, and the upper class was slightly stunned, but they didn't care. Because in the eyes of the big people in these central areas, the burning wheel only needs to clean up a little later, and it will be honest.

Titanium Steel, a rebel force with a white titanium background, has now attracted all the firepower of the federal oligarchs.

……

Scales mound area

This is a piece of land on the southeast side of the oceanic plate, which is the area of the collision of continental crustal plates, where a large number of basalt mountains are accumulated. Although the plates are much more stable than many areas of large fractures, the topography here is simply too complex. Therefore, titanium steel has made this place its own base camp.

When the titanium steel is in the other peripheral areas of the planet, it is taken by the Federation one by one. The bigwigs of the Eight-Petal Flower Council have signed a plan to strike down on this place, and they want to completely eradicate the scourge here.

Six commanders were sent from the Luotian region and four commanders from the Huangshi region, uniting seven commanders from the Haoyang region to complete this battle plan.

……

Sun Siqiong, as a victorious general, is naturally in the scheduling of this operation of the Federation. And with Sun Siqiong, of course, there is the corps organization of Lu Qi and other burning wheels.

Although the "Charter of Principles" has made the relationship between Ranlun and the bigwigs of the Federation 'cold', even if it is cold, the existing cooperation must be maintained. And within the federation, Bei Xuming represents the conservatives, while Sun Siqiong represents the Shaozhuang faction. Having a cold relationship with conservatives does not necessarily lead to a reversal with the young Zhuang.

Moreover, in the current environment, it is the time when the reformists and the federal young Zhuang faction are closest in the burning wheel.

Because with the establishment of the charter of principles in the Burning Wheel, the Total Reformists have completely seized the industrial and military fundamentals of the Burning Wheel. Even Lu Boya's mentor, Lu Boya, also stood up to support 'sticking to principles'.

The ideological trend of Ranlun has gradually stood on the path of 'self-reliance and insisting on stimulating people's thinking' to resist all challenges.

The road of reformists is getting narrower and narrower. Therefore, we can only hope that the last hope is that the improved 'marker light' like Sun Siqiong can now be lit a little (the Federal Young Zhuang faction has a tendency to become enlightened and willing to promote change) to prove that their own thinking line is correct.

In a young Zhuang faction like Sun Siqiong, the reformists gambled on "all the hopes of reform".

[Of course, it's nothing that hopes for improvement are dashed.] If a certain line in the burning wheel fails, as long as the result is admitted, it is still a comrade. -- The purpose of allowing the collision of currents of thought in times of calm is to reduce the risk of a purge when the situation is severe. Now, as long as Sun Siqiong proves that there is no hope of improvement with his own actions, and the high-level red flag of the burning wheel points in the right direction in a few years, no one will not give up on another hopeless road. 】

Sun Siqiong naturally learned about the changes in the situation in the burning wheel. However, since he is not a party to the case, he doesn't know what the specific reason is that the hopes of a large number of people such as Lu Qi are pinning on him now.

The judgment in his heart was that there was a rejection of political factions within the burning wheel, and Lu Ru's faction was gradually excluded from the core and took refuge in himself.

……

In the eastern defense zone of the Haoyang plate. The construction of the forward military base has been completed, and on the 600-kilometer barrier line, the protective shields of rows of buildings have begun to stretch out, and the aircraft maintain cruising above the protective shields.

And in the fourteenth area of this base.

Sun Siqiong, who was sitting in the commander's combat mech, signed the battle plan after checking the deployment of the base and the intelligence gathered from the enemy-occupied areas in the mountains ahead.

He paused, and clicked on the communication interface.

At this time, in the fifth area, Lu Xiang, who was sitting in the engineering vehicle, appeared: "Commander, may I ask what is the matter?" ”

Lu seems to be controlling the nano spray gun and building the building. This student of Lu Boya is not purely working for Sun Siqiong now.

It must be emphasized that Lu seems to be only a reformist, not an imperialist who wants to be a slave.

For example, now, when the engineering vehicle is carrying out automatic spray guns, his team has explored some technologies of federal high-energy nanoengineering after summarizing through manual operation. These technologies were fed back to the Ranlun side, which helped Lu Boya's team improve the military nanoprinting technology of the Ranlun.

The issue of the internal political line of the Ranlun is only in the discussion and decision of laws and policies, and does not affect production. Here, the issue of political philosophy cannot be distinguished by simple bad people and good people.

Sun Siqiong clicked on the current work of Lu Xiang's team,—— he nodded, there were such a large number of backbones who actively applied technology among his subordinates, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Sun Siqiong asked, "Xiao Lu, do you have any plans after this war?" ”

Lu seemed to pause, raised his head and said: "I have learned a lot here, maybe after the war, I will set up a company to carry out technology research and development for the benefit of society." ”

Sun Siqiong smiled slightly: "After the war?" Well. Good luck with you. ”

After the communication ended, Sun Siqiong clicked on the projection map containing Bai Liangxing and Fang Xingxing to hide the sigh in her heart, and said silently: "The Federation has changed, Lu, maybe for a long time, there is no stable environment you want. ”

……

On May 12, 460 A.D., the war had been fought for a month (28 days after the promulgation of the Constitution of Principles).

The Federation's war of annihilation against the Titanium Steel Divine Society of the Haoyang Plate was not so easy.

Due to the difficult terrain, tracked armored vehicles, such as rock tanks, are limited in their movement on mountain roads. The Air Force has been repeatedly destroyed by the hidden firepower of the Titanium Steel God Society.

Only the Rugged Rambler, this hexapod machine searches through the mountains one by one.

Now the corresponding in the Burning Wheel is the Scythe Mecha. There is only one model of the Scythe Mecha of the Burning Wheel Alliance, and the Rugged Rambler of the Federation is a series and dozens of types.

Rugged Rambler:

The lowest class is cheap only a hundred kilograms, and these little things carry shotguns and guided grenades, searching in the mountains.

The slightly larger model was 13 tons and carried an 80 mm caliber and high-level dual-purpose long-barreled gun.

As for the large models, they weigh 30 tons and can carry missile modules, artillery modules, or fortification digging modules.

These weapons of war do not have joint weaknesses, as the combat armor has six legs and a mechanical arm that holds a carbon fiber shield. When judging that there is a bullet shooting in a certain direction, the carbon fiber plate will immediately be lifted in response to the incoming attack.

When a large number and variety of mecha were put into the battlefield, such a swarm of mechs danced wildly, like an ecological group of metal species, appearing in the mountains.

……

However, the Titanium Steel God Society also has a similar automated corps. The Titanium Steel God Society has a large number of military production camps here, and in the nano-printing cabins of the underground hive mode, in the beehives with a side length of six meters and a height of forty meters, troops are rapidly exploding.

In this vast hilly and mountainous area, tunnels are all over the place. Behind the stalemate of the mechanical contest between the two sides, their respective human natures are destroying each other.

One of the many battle scenes:

Area 934, southeast of Heights 87.

The mountain roads here are rugged. The earthy yellow road, like a scalding fan, is twisted around the bare mountain, which is exactly the response to the sentence "eighteen bends of the mountain road here".

Moreover, in some places, it is not a road at all, but a gentle slope with a lot of stones and gravel. The slope is 70 degrees on the left and right sides of the gentle slope, but this gentle slope is relatively gentle, only 40 degrees. The so-called 'road' on this gentle slope is the Shura Road that old drivers should be afraid of.

But the Federation War Mechs, 'Bang!'' Boom!'' Boom!', a mechanical foot like a steel hoe was inserted into it. There are eight steel edges at each of the soles of the mechanical feet, and the rows of steel edges, which were originally designed to increase friction, are now ground by crushed stone to be as smooth as the upper surface of railway rails.

A total of eight 20-ton large mechas, 120 small mechas, and four robotic puppet soldiers implanted with chips sat in the cockpit, like children immersed in a game room, concentrating on operating the mecha to move in all directions.

In their information wave exchanges.

"Go grab that high ground—" "Be careful, don't die,——" "Prepare to lead the airdrop." ”

These conversations are just like some "live-action shooter" group chats. It's a game for these robotic dolls, whose brain tissue is combined with electronic systems and can't sense blood and pain.

They only got down from the modified test bench to the time they entered the battlefield in only thirty minutes, and all the experience came from the tactical teaching on the chip.

As the rugged rambler progressed, scanning laser beams swept at surrounding obstacles.

Suddenly, the head of the Mechchant Corps locked onto a seemingly strange stone. Order the RoboWarrior to fire at the suspicious target he sees in his scope.

A shuttle bullet broke through its plastic camouflage layer. The bullet hit, and a large number of metal fragments exploded.

The Federation soldiers congratulated each other alternately, but they didn't realize that they had long been exposed to the lens of titanium steel.

Forty seconds later, above the Federal Rambler, dozens of galloping mechanical locusts appeared.

The explosion and flames erupted in the mecha group, and many small mecha were turned upside down, and the armor layers on some medium and large mechs also fell off one after another.

The robot puppets in the Robo Troopers lead the team and walk through the wreckage in a high-protection mech. It was less excited than before, and instead cursed while calling for fire support from the aircraft behind it.

……

The Federation Robot Warriors fight passionately, and there are brutal facts behind them.

In terms of Luo Tian, the statistics of the utilization efficiency of the puppet are:

For the first modified robot puppet, the "interest" (morale) will last for four months in high-intensity combat.

Four months later, when they are tired of the game (war weariness), the Federation will not hesitate to reclaim and delete their memories. This deletion will destroy a lot of common sense in the brain, and generally four deletions will completely destroy common sense, causing irreversible amnesia, and must be moved from the combat armor of this level to the simpler control mecha.

For example, a 'Aerospace Fighter Pilot' level robot puppet may be sent to a low-altitude cruising combat team after being judged to be "war-weary".

After many battles, the low-altitude cruising team was judged to be war-weary, and it was sent to the ground mecha.

Eventually, due to multiple deletions, common sense will be seriously shattered, and it will become the 'berserker' heavy mecha soldier with the highest mortality rate, which is a warrior who relies entirely on hormones and drug regulation, as well as electronic stim.

In the eyes of the Federation.

In the absence of war, the mechanical puppet can serve for thirty years through hibernation and periodic training (game stimulation).

In low-intensity warfare, the mechanical puppet can last for twelve years.

In a high-intensity war, with a reasonable rotation, it can be used for five years.

The rate at which this consumable is consumed is tolerable.

……

On the periphery of the Basalt Dark Rock Mountain region, under the extremely reckless deployment of the Federation, the front line of the mechanical puppet on the map has reached forty-eight points.

At each point, there is a command center formed by the robot puppets.

In the information hall, the combatants with pure white ceramic structures and faces covered by sensor helmets are like NPCs, dealing with war and counting war things.

However, in the lobby at this point, a "Soldier Durability" stat decreases to the point of turning red.

Especially the mechanical dolls who go deep into the mounds, their "interest" is reduced quickly.

When Zeoyou was building the army, he said that in combat, all abnormal phenomena must be paid attention to as soon as possible. If it drags on until it's serious, it's too late.

However, now, the Federation seems to have entered the stage of "not wanting to ask about casualties", starting large-scale debugging of soldiers whose durability value has cleared and then continuing to put them on the battlefield. This kind of carelessness has led to extremely serious consequences.

……

In the central area of the dark basalt, a semi-mechanized researcher at the Titanium Steel Shrine's Information and Communication Research Institute, known as the "Altar", is busy, and a large amount of data information is fed into the light sphere. These balls of light are sent to the front line of the battlefield after the information is entered.

On the front line, these light cluster information were replaced into some damaged and standby mechs. These mechs can be easily repaired.

However, after the restoration, when the Federation's cutting-edge mechs are linked, they will suddenly find that there is a super-large information space in it.

What does this amount to? It is equivalent to a person who was still playing black and white game consoles in the eighties, and suddenly discovered the "Elder Scrolls" of the twenty-first century.

In wars, second-rate strategists always regard technology and resources as the key, but from ancient times to the present, "attacking the heart first" has often made these second-rate strategists lose in vain.

The mechanical puppets on the front line of the Federation, out of curiosity, did not hand over the chips found in the seized titanium steel mecha, and even deliberately downplayed the credit related to this "capture".

And when they are stationed every day, they are immersed in a more interesting world and can freely adjust the difficulty, then reality becomes a game with a very poor experience.

Under the deliberate guidance of the federal rulers, the mechanical puppets are inherently indistinguishable from reality and games, and the meaning of their own existence is the fulfillment of desires, rather than the search for where they are. So, after feeling that the realistic desires could not be realized, they gave up.

……

In the first month of the war, the Titanium Gods had only made the Federation's mechs war-weary.

However, after collecting enough data, from the second month onwards, it was mixed with some information misleading, so that the federal robot puppet "recognized" that it had been deceived. 'It is a sin to fight for the Federation, and to atone for one's sins you must free yourself from the machine and enter the new world' - the new world here is the side of titanium.

For the Federation, a large number of mechanical puppets on the front line are fighting, and they are suddenly brainwashed. Moreover, inside the mechanical dolls, they are still infiltrating mecha communication facilities with each other, promoting the idea of "sublimation" to each other.

These mechanical dolls, who believe in sublimation, also insist that they are not switching to the Titanium Steel God Society, but a new god. It's really laughable.

……

On the floating battleship above, Bei Helu saw this situation and scolded: "A group of fools with no brains. Here (Basalt Dark Rock Mountains), who else but the Titanium Steel Society will preach? ”

Bei Helu is obviously using the thinking of normal people to replace the thinking of abnormal people.

[Whoever falls into superstition, where will they use common sense to understand the God they believe in.] - So it will not work to use common sense to pull out the trapped, because they have long since put their own superstitions in the position of common sense. 】

The brainwashed mechanical puppets of the Federation insist that they must have inspired themselves in a super-super-magical state.

So why do you (the federal psychological counselor) say, "There is no other possibility here except titanium", "My God, everything is possible".

The Federal Military Department, faced with a large group of brainless guys, found that "mental medical care" was completely ineffective. Without any special medicine, we may have to wait for the overheating of the mechanical puppets' minds to end, the mystery disappears, and the sense of doubt returns, forming herd immunity.

[For example, in the 21st century, the old scam of turning water into oil, after harvesting an IQ tax, and then taking a similar concept, the people think of the old scam, then the first time, do not look at it and deny it. This is herd immunity. 】

……

Now, of course, while the mechs are thinking, the herd immunity plan will eventually go bankrupt in June. - Robot dolls, the one whose IQ tax is collected is simply 'leeks into the extraction kettle' - leek essence.

In mid-June, there was a large number of passive operations on the front.

The Federation can only conduct a large-scale inventory of the robot puppets in its own corps, and format all the mechanical puppets in question.

This is like disinfecting infectious diseases,—— because the mechanical puppet is really brainless, and the belief is vacant, and the titanium steel god will change the mode to make the mechanical puppet infect two people.

In June.

The Federation is basically unable to hold on, and under the complex terrain, the various combat teams are essentially out of the control of the upper level, and the upper peak cannot be effectively inspected with mechanical systems. can only be indulged, and the thoughts of each mechanical puppet meet with each other and pass on the infectious disease of thoughts.

The front-line commander issued a ban on communication, but the human brain evolved to adapt to social communication, and the forced separation of communication quickly made the robot puppets uneasy.

However, the Titanium Gods have found other ways to connect the Federation's mechs with the minds of the Kingdom of God.

That is, there are information crystals of heavy nuclear element energy left on the battlefield. As long as you plug in your own information interface, you can sense the kingdom of God.

……

The Federation fought in the third month, three days before Bei Xuan Ming decided to take the initiative to talk to the Celestial Tour.

Zhou You broke through the confidential files of the Federation, learned about the situation of the Federation on the front line, and said helplessly: "With a crippled brain, a crippled personality, and a distorted world view, there is no immunity to taking advantage of the weakness and entering the poisonous weeds!" ”
