March 12, 839 in the cosmic calendar.

Earth Star, Nanyan Continent, Star Port City.

High-altitude satellites photographed an area of natural mountains, and suddenly there are signs of collapse.

Smart prosecutors in the area, reconnaissance aircraft were dispatched to conduct investigations.

In the mountainous area of Weisen, drones with wingspans and fuselages in a cross state hovered over the scene. The wings of these aircraft are painted with a variety of media markings, in line with the concept of various television microphone markings in front of spokespeople in the electronic age.

They are journalists in this age of intelligence. In the sparsely populated natural areas of Saturn, the media have long used this high-tech device to collect materials.

These media immediately discovered the anomaly of the situation at the scene and circulated the information within half an hour. But soon, as the federal AI review process found out about the situation and notified the military, the media drones were expelled.

When the silver-gray stealth painted federal surveillance drone flew overhead, a large number of tentacles with metal parts appeared in the collapsed mountain stones, stirring in the rubble. After the gravel was crushed, it fell into a bottomless underground cave as if it were caught in a whirlpool.

The head of the administration of the region immediately transferred the assault regiment stationed in the city, which was the establishment of the Dragon Guard Assault Group in the Blazing Era. At present, this is still a powerful combat force on the planet.

However, for hundreds of years, the Federation has struggled to solve the problem of placing this kind of legion on other planets, and other planets cannot be replicated for historical reasons, so such legions only exist on Saturn.

When urban agglomerations enter a state of mobilization, what kind of collision can occur with the modern commander system? Nobody knows, and no one thinks about it.

However, since the birth of the commander, the officers who have been in charge of regional combat readiness control have never had the idea of becoming warlords - this should be an invisible deterrent.

It's just that the military combat power of 800 years ago came from the supply of talent chains, the ability to mobilize ideas, and the competition brought about by social mobility. All of this has been seriously weakened by today's cultural pluralism and the solidification of education.

March 14 at 6 p.m.

Groups of bizarre structures have emerged in the mountainous area, like sharp barbs emerging from the ground. Ignoring the Federation's high-altitude drone warnings, the buildings used lasers and electromagnetic interference to attack the Federation's high-altitude drones.

The federal magistrate immediately determined that this was a serious case of sabotage.

Seven mechanized regiments rushed to the area where the incident occurred, and under the UAV mapping, a large number of missiles carried out precision low-explosive strikes.

The arrival of the assault corps was covered by sky fire, and the warheads delivered by the Dragon Guards further destroyed surface targets, and within an hour, the surface forces in this area were pacified. But the area is still dangerous.

After the first wave, cloudy smoke and dust fell from the mountain.

On the gravel hillside, the federal ground armed forces are deploying a lot of manpower to build a blockade to stop the damn self-media from using drones to break through.

These self-media like to use drones to throw fist-sized intelligent shooting robots, and after the device is smashed down by the drone, it immediately unfolds into a spider form, flexibly looking for branches, highlands and rocks for (stealing) shooting.

Sato can be much more productive than Aqua. This kind of automatic shooting equipment only costs 500 consumption coins, and everyone can afford it; And there is no real-name system, the federation even finds the device, and there is no way to lock who the device is.

It is impossible for the Federation to carry out a permanent blockade in a blockade area, and the Federation withdraws from the blockade, and then the self-media will quietly take away these filming equipment that has been filmed and automatically hide, and put it on the Internet to make big news.

The scene of large-scale dispatch of dragon guards and simultaneous fire like today is more exciting than a blockbuster, and after the crisis is resolved in the future, it can be exchanged for a large amount of traffic. Of course, if you release a small clip first, someone will buy the full clip at a high price. With such huge profits and low risk, it is natural that the prying eyes of the self-media will not stop being banned.

Sitting in a five-ton mechanical armor, the mechanical flying insect in front of him examined a broken tentacle with a diameter of one meter in many ways.

Eighty percent of the tentacles are mechanical, and only one of the hoses is a fleshy neural control system.

Born into a family of mechanics, Polan Gartley used a sharp machine to cut off a piece of the contents of the hose, put it in a glass collection bottle, and after starting the liquid nitrogen freezing, a four-wheel drive drone landed and took the glass jar away.

But suddenly, the ground shook, a large amount of rubble rolled down the hillside, and a large drill bit emerged from the ground. Caught off guard, Polengatli fell directly into the loose earth and rock, and in less than a second, he disappeared into the quicksand-like debris.

The sudden second attack caused the gunboats and fighters hovering in the sky to turn their guns.

Under the blow of the artillery, the mechanical drill bit that came out of the ground was pierced. Then the fire exploded from within, and the nearly ten-ton drill bit was ejected.

However, the base of the drill bit also seems to be bounced out by mechanical force. In the smoke and dust, a nuclear warhead weighing 100 kilograms bounced out like a landmine ricocheting. Caught off guard, the 3,000-ton nuclear weapon was swept around by a violent shock wave.

In the sky, all machinery fell like broken wires. And the earth swept by the nuclear storm was unusually clean, and all the large pieces of rubble were blown away; On the ground, just like the rice bubbles when the rice cooker cooks rice, there are a large number of hole-like tunnels on the ground.

A few seconds later, a large number of mechanical centipedes crawled out of the hole like a spring, spreading their wings on their backs. Armed with missiles or machine-gun systems, they flew out two kilometers away, destroying the federal forces after the nuclear strike.

Obviously, the Consuls of the Federation have been very supportive in dealing with such incidents, after all, they have not encountered such organized and technological destruction for hundreds of years.

These flying centipedes shoot guided rockets and use machine guns to powerfully suppress the Federation's armed forces, but their main purpose is to search for people.

Some mechanical centipedes flew into the sky, and a considerable number of mechanical centipedes landed from the sky, found excavators and transport vehicles, and stretched out mechanical claws to cut the carriages.

Amid the frightened screams of people in the cabin and cab, a large number of fist-sized mechanical bugs were released. The bugs flew onto these people, popping out needles and quickly injecting drugs.

More than ten seconds later, when the people in the carriage fell down in pieces, these mechanical centipedes completely drilled in, popped out the manipulator on their backs, and stuffed all the unconscious people into the open cavity of their backs.

The mechanical centipedes did all of this, and under the cover of fire, they burrowed back into the ground with a large number of human captives.

Twenty minutes later.

When the Federation Support Corps arrived sixty kilometers away, the Dragonguard assault group threw a large number of missiles, and the mechanical centipedes were swept away by bundles of empowerment strikes. But after sweeping all this, it no longer comes closer.

Wait until thirty minutes after the nuclear explosion.

This time, the Federation's heavy turboprop-powered bombers reached the sky, the two-meter hatches opened, and the bombing dropped two-ton steel columns. The spiked steel pillars in front of them poked straight into the ground, revealing smoke-emitting openings on the surface. A few seconds later, a robot climbed up with an antenna – a detector of seismic waves underground.

With the support of this detector information, the Federation's search team entered the underground tunnel by remotely controlling the robot. However, the gravel-clogged tunnel footage did not reveal a single human being, except for the discovery of a large number of mechanical remains.

In this incident, the fate of a large number of human captives is unknown.

March 15, 839 in the cosmic calendar.

A battleplane with a tonnage of 1,200 tons of twin parallel structure was hovering over the land on the eastern side of the Moonfall Mountain Range.

[This kind of fighter uses a strong laser to dominate the air in the high-altitude atmosphere, and the three laser cannons can intercept all missiles, and can carry out ultra-long-range strikes against enemy fighters with the support of early warning radar. There is only a risk of being shot down by a cluster of ground-based heavy ballistic missiles, but for the time being, there is no such threat on Saturn. 】

In the battleplane, the superior commander who rushed back from the Fire Star, Rong Jixuan; And on the big screen behind her, it was Commander-in-Chief Bai Jiuyang.

In front of the two of them is the latest geodetic remote sensing data map.

Now the Federation has leveled up the enemy in the mountains, conducted more than sixty small-yield nuclear explosion tests underground, created seismic waves, and measured the distribution of the tunnel network on the ground. This measurement can roughly show that the density of underground tunnels has increased significantly in a few months after the arrival of unknown forces on Saturn.

"Phew!" Rong Jixuan, who was wearing a white information helmet and a commander's information suit, smashed his hand wearing mechanical gloves on the hatch of the early warning command fighter, and scolded in his heart: "Damn, suppress the fire extinguishing star, but the chaos has come to the main star." ”

At this time, an interface popped up in front of Rong Jixuan.

Facing the information observation of the ground scouts, Rong Jixuan adjusted his mentality and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The scouts of the Dragon Guard mechs said, "Sir, look at these things. ”

The scouts took out the glass canisters. Inside the collection tube, a large number of exotic biological species wriggle in the soil particles.

These species are almost semi-peristatic, succulent and semi-vegetative, and can produce spores containing worms based on soil, water, and light.

Rong Jixuan said from between his teeth: "Spore symbiotic species, these filthy things. ”

At this time, on the big screen in the rear, Bai Jiuyang said coldly: "In the 314 incident, the mechanic Potgarelli disappeared. ”

Rong Jixuan was stunned and asked, "Huh?" Who is this person? She wondered why Bai Jiuyang suddenly mentioned a mechanic.

Bai Jiuyang took a deep breath and said, "I'm not familiar with it, but that guy has been picking stars since he was a child. ”

When Rong Jixuan heard this, he couldn't help but think of the picture of himself and his younger brother fighting with each other when they were children, paused, and then said helplessly: "Now? Does he know about this? ”

Bai Jiuyang looked at the screen in front of him, the picture that went viral on the Internet, and took a deep breath: "I should know sooner or later." ”

……

The main city of Hanhai, which was built during the steam age.

The streets and alleys here, every brick and tile are filled with the cultural atmosphere of the sea people.

In the central fortress city, a group of high-level economic management officials are holding meetings. The marine human civilization has a history of 20,000 years of using bio-breeding suits. In the modern era of intelligence, a large number of chips have made the colonization and installation into a semi-automated facility.

However, just now, the upper layer of the sea humans determined that at the Divine Fall Sea Ridge, an automated mining point had lost contact.

The Federal Association for the Development of Marine Resources, a secondary management agency of the federal government, is the equivalent of the large state-owned enterprises of the 21st century. Since the business is marine mining, 70% of the members of the senior management are marine humans. They are all elites, and their body wealth is more than 4,000. A thousand years ago, their lineage was a full-service person, and they also had multiple professions such as a fabricator, a grain maker, and a medical priest.

There are 670 people in the development association, and now in the virtual conference hall, people from various departments are engaged in heated discussions.

Wave Wheel Plastic Force: "A reconnaissance team must be organized immediately!" The Confederation has already used the wartime system, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 40 of the wartime law, we should quickly and decisively put an end to the escalation of the matter before the military takes over. ”

Kamu Gyano: "Mr. Porawa, we know, and we know that federal law stipulates that before the military takes over, we will be stripped of our controlling stake after the war. But we have to be cautious.

The lost mining town in the Godsfall region has 3,600 industrial employees and 67,000 intelligent breeding machines. How did you lose contact, how did you lose contact? You can't move blindly. ”

Pointing to the sea surveillance map, Gyamu said: "This sea area, we are now keeping monitoring, and ten minutes ago, we photographed a large wave spray, here, and here." ”

While everyone was discussing, [ www.biquwu.biz] the AI in the virtual lobby suddenly activated a prompt that the commander was coming.

The virtual meeting became silent, and the next commander, Chao Mingchong, appeared in the venue.

The 30,000-ton sea base where the commander is now located is a shuttle-shaped, semi-submersible in the ocean, with 400-meter-long mechanical legs walking on the seabed.

Chao Mingchong clicked on his map in the virtual hall and said: "I have arrived in the war zone, you can now transfer the supreme command to me, please fulfill the battlefield auxiliary obligations in the future." ”

The senior executives of these associations in the virtual hall breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly started their work.

……

The above-mentioned conscientious approach is related to the social context of the development of federalism:

The laws that enter the age of artificial intelligence and the laws of the 21st century are worlds apart. The former's advanced and perfect law can make the latter feel that he is ignorant and ancient.

For example, in the 21st century, a court would determine whether a person's provocation in a bar was justified or overly defensive, or a crime of passion.

If there is no clear camera surveillance to sample the evidence of every detail of the behavior, then the conviction is very general, and can only rely on the description of the parties and the limited physical evidence.

The difference in the way judges and juries interpret this evidence based on the framework law leads to different verdicts, which gives lawyers room to eat.

Now, if there is a conflict in a tavern, the legal provisions will define liability based on the emotional changes of both parties involved, the tone of conversation between the two parties, and even the objects around them.

Because, now everyone has an electronic visual record on their pupils like a car record, and in the event of a conflict, both parties have the responsibility to provide electronic monitoring data on their bodies, and these will become the basis for legal judgment. Because technology can distinguish hundreds of conviction details from the detailed evidence collected, such as how much alcohol was drunk at the scene, and whether every word and tone of speech was provocative. The AI program quantifies a conviction based on each piece of evidence.

The fact that the law can define every responsibility quite perfectly is a great step forward in the rule of law. One of the social effects of progress is to improve the efficiency of social collaboration.

For example, 2,000 years ago, when the local aristocracy encountered such a sudden event, there was no higher aristocracy to run down and unify with an iron fist, and almost 100% would enter a situation of passing the buck and paralyzing local decision-making, which made the situation worse.

In the discussion just now, everyone at the top of the association is putting forward constructive proposals and taking positive actions. If you are not active, you can trace the responsibility after the fact according to the sound camera record, which can completely ruin a person's career.

The reason why Chao Mingchong's arrival made these committee members breathe a sigh of relief was that the most important command responsibility was finally handed over.

[If Chao Mingchong is seriously delayed, the Federation's wartime recorder will also define its responsibility. Artificial intelligence formulates a verdict, but there has never been a concept that the law is not responsible for the public, and the law is not responsible for power. 】

……

Ten hours before Chao Mingchong's base arrived in the war zone, a large number of bubbles with a diameter of 20 meters and polymer materials had already been produced on the base of the mountain range in the rear, which were like the membrane coat of frog eggs in the water.

The development of biological weapon embryos is accelerated by electrical stimulation and nutrient solution injection. In the process of this hormone development, working metal pipes are constantly pierced, circuit parts, skeleton structures are implanted, and a large amount of reinforced plastic armor is also installed on the epidermis.

In less than half a day, 4,000 streamlined sea beast combat weapons were rapidly produced, and the creatures broke through the plastic film and poured into the sea, converging into a black 'school of giant fish'.

After Chao Mingchong arrived at the front line, this biological force also happened to arrive. Such a posture made the senior executives of the association who assisted Chao Mingchong feel that the mountain rain was coming.

The operation authority of each platform of the submarine industrial city has been transferred. Finally, before the communication is about to be cut off.

Bolun Suli couldn't help but ask the commander, "Sir, who are you?" ”

Chao Mingchong, who was operating in the operation warehouse, and a large amount of data jumped on his pupils, explained without looking back: "According to the order sent by the High Command, the missing area is controlled by an unknown will, and it must be forcibly broken. ”

What else did another association engineer want to say.

Chao Mingchong blocked the doubts of these engineers with one sentence: "The people there may have suffered from brain parasitism, and the longer the delay, the more unlikely it is to be saved." ”

……

Half an hour later, the Dolphin Legion sent by Commander Chaoming arrived in the blind zone of the Federation, and was immediately blocked by the same large number of sea dragon creatures.

The deep-sea two-pronged sea beast, like the built-in bomb bay of the fourth-generation aircraft, released a small electric torpedo, and under the guidance of sonar, turned the propeller and flew towards the opponent.

As a torpedo the size of a child's arm exploded in the sea, the blood of the sea beasts spilled across the ocean.

A large number of sea beast perception functions were damaged by the shock wave and had to withdraw from the battlefield. However, in the rear sea, a large number of sea beasts have joined the battle group.

The sea water boils and rolls. However, a few hours later, the external video message of many missing people from the missing area made the entire federal marine economic zone boil.

In the video, they claim that they are in good condition and hope that the Federation will allow them to become independent in the deep sea zone.

"Fight for independence and freedom." -- This is the external remark of these 3,000 migrant workers in the deep sea area seven days after they lost contact with each other.
