Chapter XXXVII
The von Norman machine used to be a science fiction thing in the Earth Age, but after entering the Space Age, this fantasy machine gradually became a reality.
The von Norman machine is simply a self-replicating spaceship with a supercomputer as the core, various basic production lines as the body, and various robots as limbs, also known as the civilization seeder.
When von Norman arrives on a planet, he will first send out reconnaissance robots to explore the planet, collect resources, build civilization, and then replicate himself to fly to the next planet to sow civilization.
Ah Jun didn't expect that the immigrant spaceship back then actually carried this kind of thing, after being separated from the immigrant, I don't know if it was because of the computer failure, or if it was originally set like this, von Norman Machine, who was supposed to help mankind, now has his own ideas and is trying to build his own world.
So, Norman is not a man, but a machine, a supercomputer.
I'm afraid that the only thing that can fight against it now is the spaceship computer kept by the steel city-state, but the steel city-state has gradually broken its original oath over the years, from a manager to a possessor, and even has formed an alliance with Norman.
Ah Jun uses a high-powered telescope to observe the Norman machine extension as it is stretched and formed, which is obviously a functional machine, including an energy supply equipment, a production line, and a small alloy furnace. Although the productivity is not strong, it is the basic equipment of a military base.
In addition, the escort fighter also aroused Ah Jun's interest, Ah Jun found that the design of the escort aircraft is very concise, simply put, it is a three-barreled rotating machine gun that can fly, the model of the machine gun is the same as the model of the combat robot equipment, a machine gun, plus an intelligent system, a propulsion system, two pairs of wings, a magazine, plus an armored outer packaging, constitutes this escort aircraft.
In addition, in part of the design of the escort aircraft, the advantages of the base camp attack UAV were clearly borrowed.
What a strong learning ability!
Ah Jun broke out in a cold sweat.
The newly built Norman base has added a batch of mechanical mantises, so that the total number of mechanical mantis in the base has increased to more than 30, they are busy, day and night, Ah Jun feels that in addition to finding an opportunity to rescue prisoners of war, finding a way to destroy this Norman machine has become a key task, once this Norman machine completes the construction of the military base, human beings will not be able to recapture this area.
Ah Jun collected the relevant information and handed it to Meiya, who found three rabbit holes and finally found a spare passenger pigeon, she released the passenger pigeon and sent the information to the newly established base camp.
"If only Mr. Copper were here." By the time Jun uttered his fourth lament, it was past midnight.
The defense of the Norman base is getting more and more perfect, if you don't do it now, I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future, and it is obviously impossible to storm it, not to mention that there are only a few of them here, even if the reserve team is transferred from the base camp now, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Since returning from the reconnaissance, Ah Jun has dismantled all the three inverter guns that he can collect, and with a little other parts that he has put together, he wants to make a ***, try his luck, hoping to interfere with the energy supply of the Norman base for a few minutes, so as to rescue the prisoners of war while they are in chaos.
But although Ah Jun is smart, his hands-on ability is really not very good, and he often has a good idea in his mind, but what he makes is not what he imagined at all.
After the failure of the last experiment, Ah Jun gave up completely, and he said to Mei Ya, "How many more ** can you collect?" I really can't do it, so I can only sneak in and blow up its radiator directly. ”
The base host currently provides energy for all equipment, and if the radiator is blown up, the host has only two options before the radiator is repaired, either to shut down autonomously or to burn its own main chip due to overheating.
Then the question now is who will carry out the task of stealth.
Ah Jun has always put dangerous things on his head, and he is tactically refined and experienced enough, but Meiya is more willing to carry out this task, and the petite rabbit people are actually more suitable for infiltration missions, and she is very reluctant to let Ah Jun bear such a dangerous thing alone.
And Corina laughed and said nothing.
As one of the most powerful mutants of all time, Corina knows that there is no better person than herself, and she has the ability to clone and complete two, three, or more tasks at once.
But even so, they are understaffed and lack transportation. They are in dire need of support.
At the same time, the situation in the base camp also changed, with the powerful bombardment of the Normans, which shocked the city-state alliance, and at first set off a wave of peace talks, but it was not long before it was suppressed by the main battle faction.
Isn't this war caused by trying to make contact? Therefore, the road of peace talks will not lead to success, and only by strengthening the building of the joint army can we finally promote talks through fighting.
Among the main battle faction, the tree elves are the most resolute, their diplomats are running around to persuade, playing the recording of the slaughter of the tree elf mission over and over again, with the latest information sent back by Ah Jun, the fear of the Norman machine has added points to the main battle faction, so except for the steel city-states that continue to stay on the sidelines, all the other city-states may have contributed to the reconstruction of the combined army, especially the mutant race, This is because the theory that the Iron City-State and the Norman are allied because of their purer human blood has spread throughout the world of Eden. This makes the mutant race feel that there is no way back, and if they don't fight, they may be sent to the crematorium, just like the Jews and Armenians in the Earth Age.
The new Combined Army, made up of professional soldiers, police and volunteers, is divided into a headquarters, a ground assault brigade, a support brigade and an air strike brigade.
First of all, the headquarters seems to be the most sound, in addition to the operational command, a joint conference is also formed, but the problem is here, although the people who make up the command are experienced soldiers and former soldiers, but they are also politicians and represent the interests of their respective city-states, so the meeting is like a quarrel, often after a few days of meetings, a few things can not be done.
The other is Kangbing, although there are two ground combat brigades, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people, but the main force that has really been incorporated into the ground assault brigade is less than 2,000 people, most of whom are hiding in the support brigade, reciting the name of a glorious combined army soldier, but it has not played too much role, after all, it has been peaceful for a long time, and the entire Eden world has not had a large-scale military conflict for forty years, coupled with the fear of Norman combat robots, so that many people shouted slogans, but they did not dare to step forward desperately.
The most important thing is air power.
In the alliance of city-states, only the steel city-state is developing air warships, and it is often suppressed by the alliance policy, and now the steel city-state has chosen to wait and see, and the city-state alliance can't even take out a special combat ship.
Therefore, we had to hastily recruit a number of small civilian airships and yachts, add weapons and armor, and because of insufficient training, the air strike brigade, which was established less than three days ago, crashed because of a collision.
I was anxious in my eyes, but no one could come up with a good idea.
As a last resort, Irina returned to the Blackwater Swamp and said bluntly to the city-state council: "I want a battalion, fully equipped, a battalion." ”
The parliament's reply was: "No. The corresponding personnel and equipment have already been sent to the Combine Army, and even the esteemed Queen cannot be reused for parliamentary conscription. And Her Majesty has not returned to the city-state for more than a hundred years to fulfill the duties of the Queen. ”
Irina had no choice but to announce that she would recruit the army on her own condition of abdication.
After some discussion, the parliament introduced the Law of Succession to the Throne, accepting Irina's abdication, but only one squadron of infantry could be recruited, and only volunteers.
Irina now has no need to care so much, she is raising funds and recruiting soldiers, and at the same time she is in contact with the Combine Army to get supplies for military supplies.
It was also Irina's strong charm as the queen, and some old friends also helped, so that a squadron of personnel and equipment was gathered, and there were unexpected surprises.
Since the Blackwater city-state still maintains slavery, when a squadron of soldiers is assembled, these soldiers also bring slaves and minions, and Irina decisively organizes these slaves and minions into a group and appears in the name of supporting the squadron, basically also gathering a battalion.
This battalion later became known as Queen Irina's Personal Guard.
Because of the Naga's tallness, half-man, half-snake, four arms, and immense strength, squadrons of Naga infantry were able to wield heavier weapons, and usually a Naga infantry would carry a heavy, half-inch heavy assault rifle, which had been released and could be fed with a magazine of thirty rounds. At the same time, they will also carry one or two disposable bazookas, and a super-large *** that fires a 12-gauge shotgun as a self-defense weapon;
In addition to this, the Naga sometimes carry thick-backed scimitars, chain hammers, etc., which have national characteristics.
However, Irina was in a hurry to build the army, and the weapons were messy, anyway, the high-powered heavy weapons that they could look at, whether it was a heavy machine gun or a ** gun, as long as they took a fancy to it, it would soon become their equipment.
In addition, there is another emergency weapon that is also deeply loved by the Pro-Guards, that is, the blasting canisters commonly known as "steel pipes", which are liked by the Pro-Guard soldiers to hit them with a bump fuse and throw them as a javelin. When not making javelins, it can also be used as a stick to hit the enemy's head.
Irina Guards hurriedly formed, hurriedly formed an army, and hurried to the base camp, before they could be reorganized and trained into an army, a brigade pigeon flew in, bringing the latest information about Ah Jun.
The situation is in crisis, and a blitz is necessary.
The Nagas of Irina's personal guard army were all gearing up, ready to show their skills, but who knew that they were preempted by the rabbit people of Fandao.
