171: Go

Originally, the vast majority of the sea power on the Sandwich Islands was in the hands of the robots, and it seemed easy for them to leave safely... Because their enemies do not have sea and air power at their disposal, it is basically impossible to intercept or pursue them.

The problem is that the last two islands occupied by the robot side are not on the edge, which means that no matter who or any robot or even a warship on the robot side wants to cross the island chain and rush to the vast sea... All need to pass around the island that the human side of the Sandwich Islands has recaptured.

This leaves a lot of room for human beings to operate! It's true that they don't have warships, they don't have advanced air power, but they have Chen, they have a digital team... Of course, they would not have a big face enough to directly ask Chen for a large number of warships and planes----- which was obviously impossible, even if their face was really that big, Chen would never agree to them. Chen has provided them with a lot, a lot, a lot of equipment and resources, and now he can't even get together the escort fleet he needs to go to [Xiao Mo]'s territory, where can he find so many resources to make warships and provide warships for the people on the Sandwich Islands? That's not something that a strong man can do. Even if someone Chen has the heart to agree, he can't do it!

However, the way of fighting in this world is actually very strange, and it is not only warships and planes that can be used against warships... In a specific situation, in a special environment, they can think differently; In the same way, they can also fight against the robotic warship in a different way.

Just like now, the islands around the Sandwich Islands, whether inhabited or uninhabited, all the outlying islands are back in the hands of the human side... If the robot side wants to escape from here, it can only leave the sea near the island controlled by humans, and it is not too wide.

In this case, the human side can completely spread mines around the two existing islands on the robot side---- an explosive equipment laid in the water, specially designed equipment for ships, which can be detonated by the mechanical collision of the ship or other non-contact factors, such as magnetism, noise, water pressure, etc.

Because this thing is specifically designed to deal with ships, it is very effective to damage enemy ships or hinder the activities of local ships... In particular, the price of this thing is relatively cheap, and it also has the characteristics of great power, simple arming, difficulty in finding and clearing--- and so on, and the technical content of this thing is higher than that of landmines.

For the people of the Sandwich Islands, this thing is almost like a lifesaver... Because they can completely estimate and don't have to be embarrassed to ask Chen for support. With the strength shown by someone Chen, and the high-end equipment that someone Chen supported them, it's not too much to support them with some mines!

Speaking of which, it is true, so many kinetic weapons and intelligent bullets have been given, does Chen still hesitate for the last point, which is not valuable, but is a key part of determining the outcome of the victory?

At this point, Chen is still very light... If you refuse someone on the Sandwich Islands for the sake of this last 'insignificant' mine, it is definitely an unwise choice for someone Chen.

Although the people on the Sandwich Islands will not and dare not have a bad relationship with him Chen someone because of this, but he Chen someone has created a tall, majestic, and selfless man before... The image will definitely collapse, which will be extremely unfavorable to the plan that he Chen will implement later to integrate all resources and jointly develop the surrounding sea areas, which is obviously what Chen does not want to see.

The most important thing is that Chen has already started the idea of fighting those warships in the hands of robots, how can he be willing to let the robot side drive away all the warships.

Combined with various considerations, when Chen's people on the Sandwich Islands first proposed the need for mines, a large number of mines to block the surrounding waters and prevent the main leaders of the robot side from escaping on warships, he happily agreed, and arranged for [Raven Triple A] and the industrial forces on Brooks Island to hurry up and make mines.

This is also the reason why all the forces on the Sandwich Islands are besieging the robot side and not attacking... If it weren't for the strong confidence that the robots would not be able to escape no matter what, they would naturally not have besieged the last two islands on the robot side and had not launched a general attack for so long.

During the period of besieging the robots, the various forces on the Sandwich Islands joined forces, mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources, and painstakingly filled the surrounding waters with a large number of mines... If someone picks up the minelaying blueprint and looks at it, they will find that the whole map is full of small dots and dots---- as many dots as many stars in the sky, and each dot is a powerful mine, and it is a mine with various triggers.

This is special, let alone a battleship, even a rat or a water rat can't slip out of a large mine array, okay.

Of course, it is extremely difficult for the people of the Sandwich Islands to act with such fanfare and not let the robot side know, but it is not impossible... The resources and living materials on the Sandwich Islands are extremely scarce, especially food, and during the period when the robot controls the Sandwich Islands, all the islands have completely cut off contact with the outside world---- which results in the fact that the people on the island have money and things that cannot be bought, nor can they exchange for any living materials, mainly in kind, and as a result, the vast majority of people on the island do not have enough to eat.

And now, the human side has finally defeated the robots, and when the robots can no longer control them, they naturally have to work hard to fill their stomachs... Although the Sandwich Islands have a little contact with the outside world for the time being---- getting the support of someone Chen is basically equivalent to having a channel to communicate with the outside world. Although Chen only supported a large amount of equipment and strategic materials for the time being, there were no living materials related to food, clothing, housing and transportation; But without the control and interference of robots, they can barely open up channels to the outside world now, right?

The most important thing is that without the control of robots, everyone on the island can go out to sea to fish... All kinds of creatures in the ocean are extremely rich in nutrients, and it is also a good food that can also fill the stomachs of many people.

It is precisely by using small fishing boats with countless people to pretend to fish that the various forces on the Sandwich Islands have the confidence to hide the detection of robots in large-scale operations... After all, the leaders of the robot side are also humans, and they also know the truth that people take food as their sky; Now that I finally get the opportunity to fill my stomach, isn't it a normal thing for countless people to rush to the sea to fish, what's so strange and suspicious?

Of course, this kind of disguise can only be concealed for a while, and it is impossible to deceive the robot for too long... However, it is enough to hide for a while, as long as the preliminary arrangement is completed, it is enough to place enough mines in key waterways to make the robot's warships impassable and block their movements.

As for the future, as long as the robot battleship can't go, the rest of the time is not to let them toss casually... As long as the robots can be trapped on the last two islands and can't walk, the human side has a lot of time to slowly arrange until the robot side is trapped on the last two islands and becomes a turtle in an urn---- at that time, they can't walk even if they want to.

In fact, the robot side also has its own plans... The inherent thinking patterns of the human side forget, or rather ignore, one thing, is that there are not many humans on the robot side, and the robot side is also a robot who operates the warship.

Are robots afraid of death? Of course not, because the concept of 'death' is not in the mind of the robot at all----- provided that the robot has a brain.

Since robots don't have the concept of life and death, they naturally won't be greedy for life and afraid of death... Similarly, the head of the robot side will not care about the life and death of the robot, especially at this critical juncture---- whether they themselves can survive or not is not certain, where is the time to care about the life and death of the robot. Their primary goal now is to find a way to keep themselves alive---- as for the robots, then leave it to fate. Anyway, there are enough robots under their command that it doesn't matter if most of them die, or even all of them; As long as they can escape from the Sandwich Islands, they will never have the opportunity to use the power of robots to do evil and mischief in the future.

Even the warships were a means to escape from the Sandwich Islands, not an end in themselves; When they leave the Sandwich Islands and are completely safe, they will naturally abandon all the warships... Even if it's just for their own safety and to ensure that their identity is not revealed, they can't keep a conspicuous target like a battleship around----- it's like a time bomb that can explode at any time, as long as people see it, it will arouse suspicion.

No matter who you are, as long as you want to live safely in human society in the future, you can't take this thing with you, even if this thing is very powerful, and in many cases it may even play a decisive role in protecting your own safety.

Since they have to be discarded sooner or later, and since it is impossible to stay around, what else do they have to reluctant? As long as they can leave the Sandwich Islands safely, as long as they can take away most of the looted wealth, even if they consume all the warships, even if they give up part of their wealth, even if they sell their companions, they will not hesitate to do it.

On the third day after the meeting in the small conference room, which was not considered a meeting, R7 and R8 finally made up their minds and prepared to find an opportunity to leave the Sandwich Islands as soon as possible... In the eyes of these two men, the sooner they leave, the better it will be for them; If it weren't for the fear that R9 would be in the way, or even deliberately sabotage their actions, or even leak their movements to the human side if necessary, they would have managed to leave a long time ago, and it would have been impossible for them to wait until now.

But now this situation, it's really, really can't go away!

As early as when they discovered that the people on the Three Names Islands had laid mines in the surrounding waters, they had already thought of countermeasures, preparing to use warships and robots to open a way in front and force a safe route to let them break out of the encirclement and escape from the Sandwich Islands... Although no one had consulted with anyone else, these three guys, who were as hard-hearted as steel, coincidentally thought of the same method.

It's just that at the beginning, everyone was worried and jealous that others would stumble and make trouble for themselves; And at the beginning, although the people on the Sandwich Islands had completed the initial arrangement, they were still full of vigilance against the robots... If you break through at that time, it is very likely to attract the opponent to attack desperately, and it is more likely to cause extremely painful losses to yourself.

But it's completely different now! R7 and R8 have come to some point in agreement, and it is enough for them to keep an eye on R9 and not let R9 sabotage their actions.

The most important thing is that after a long arrangement, the human side of the Sandwich Islands has begun to relax, and they seem to have determined that the robot has no chance to escape... Moreover, after more than a year of brutal domination and oppression by robots, those who have been seriously injured mentally and physically are already overwhelmed, like a taut string that will break if it is not relaxed.

Not to mention that they are all ordinary ordinary people, even if they are strong-willed, it is impossible to tighten this string all the time, and when anyone is slack, they also need to relax.

According to the information obtained by the robot side, the humans on the surrounding islands have begun various activities to celebrate the victory... Drinking parties, singing and dancing, etc., everyone gathers together to eat, drink and have fun, and everywhere is full of laughter, whether it is adults or children, it is simply more lively and relaxing than the festival.

In the past year or so, all the territory of the Sandwich Islands has been ruled by the robot side after all, even if they have failed now, but some of the secret hands they have placed on the various islands have not been pulled out... It's not that the people on the sandwich islands aren't working hard enough or being smart enough, it's because they don't have enough time!

Although these covert hands are not of much use to the proof of the battle between the two sides, there is still no problem in using them to spy on some information and intelligence; In particular, everyone on all the islands is partying, and it is not difficult to obtain such information.

Is there a more suitable, better, and more perfect opportunity for R7 and R8 than it is now? No, absolutely not, and if they miss this opportunity, they will definitely regret it.

As for what R9 is preparing and planning? Why is he still staying in his 'palace' and has no intention of leaving... What does that have to do with them? Anyway, after leaving the Sandwich Islands, the three of them will definitely not get along with each other, who cares about anyone! As long as that guy doesn't run out against them, as long as that guy doesn't mess with them, that's enough.

Of course, the harmony and friendship between R7 and R8 is only superficial and deliberately shown to the other side, and deep down they are both suspicious of each other and deeply wary and jealous. But it doesn't matter, at least they have the same intention to escape from the Sandwich Islands now, as long as they can escape from the Sandwich Islands safely... In the future, there will be no one on the other side of the world, and no one knows anyone, so why do you care so much?

For R7 and R8, the most, most important goal is to escape the Sandwich Islands... Moreover, because of the delay of the past few days, more and more mines have been laid in the surrounding waters, and none of them have enough confidence to use the warships they control to break through a way out. Only after gathering the strength of two people and gathering the battleships in the hands of the two people together, can they have enough confidence and confidence to use the battleship and robots to break through a safe passage from the mine array outside.

In order to conceal their true intentions, R7 and R8 first sent several minesweepers to wander around aimlessly, looking like they were sweeping away the surrounding mines, more like trapped beasts fighting, or desperate resistance.

Immediately afterwards, another robot drove more than a dozen speedboats in all directions... This is simply a deliberate act of sending people to death, especially in the eyes of the personnel left behind on duty, such an obvious act of death really has no meaning except to give them a little fun on their boring duty. It's also because of blind self-confidence, as well as the venting of frustration that I stayed here on duty and couldn't attend the carnival party. And because, and because they all secretly drank a little wine, their brains were a little slow to react.

Neither R7 nor R8 provoked alarm from the Sandwich Islands, and they would naturally continue to act as they had already agreed... Send more small ships to launch suicidal charges ---- detonate all the mines laid in the surrounding waters.

While fireworks are being set off all over the surrounding islands, when most of the islands are drunk or indulging in wine and revelry, countless mines are detonated by small ships sent out by robots... The sound of mines and explosions of small ships and fires mixed with the fireworks that are constantly rising into the air and exploding are so inconspicuous that even if anyone hears them, they will not cause too many associations and suspicions.

Some people may think of something, but under the anesthesia, their brains have become much duller, and they can't react at all in a short time.

Of course, if it weren't for R7 and R8 joining forces, the warships in their hands would definitely not be able to withstand such a squander... Not to mention that they were trying to create explosions everywhere in order to hide people's eyes, even if they were clearly targeted and charged directly in one direction, the warship in the hands of any one of them would not necessarily be enough.
