Chapter 332: The Hereafter
"I don't know what advanced weapons will be used to fight the Third World War, but I know what the Fourth World War will only use, stones and sticks."
– Albert Einstein.
It turns out that this one seems to be wrong, at least not in every situation.
The fact is that even after the Third World War, after the nuclear bombs rained down, the war did not stop, and it did not allow the civilization on Earth to degenerate back to the Stone Age, using sticks and stones.
The beginning of the story begins with the day of the "War of Self-Defense and Counterattack against Cybertron" nearly twenty years ago.
It wasn't a sudden catastrophe, after all, there was enough transition before that for people to accept the existence of extraterrestrial life, and to accept the incompatibility between humanity and extraterrestrial civilization.
Humanity and extraterrestrial life can only be enemies, not friends, and they can only bring disaster, not friendship between civilizations...... What's more, they are just a group of interstellar refugees, how can there be any civilization to say?!
It is fair to say that from the day the war began, visionaries should have foreseen this inevitable future.
During that time,The art style around the world is being updated day by day.,A patch pack a week.,A month is a new version.,If someone takes a long vacation at home.,When you go out again, you might think you've crossed over.。
And the nuclear winter has not yet arrived, the concept is very old.
Traditionally, if a nuclear war breaks out on the earth, the smoke clouds set off by the nuclear bomb will transport a large amount of dust into the stratosphere, thereby blocking the sunlight, resulting in a cooling effect on the earth due to insufficient sunlight in the years after the nuclear war, which in turn will cause a significant reduction in crop yields and global famine.
The earth will be completely frozen, the oceans will freeze, and the earth will be covered in ice and snow. The end of human civilization will come here, and it will be a real apocalyptic vision.
But in reality? Although nuclear fallout blocks the sun's rays from entering the earth's surface, it also prevents the heat from the ground from being emitted into space. At the same time, the dust that bursts out is very difficult to accumulate in the flat process and will fall to the surface within a few weeks.
Due to the nature of nuclear bombs, heated and charged soot tend to bind to each other rather than spread continuously. This also restricts the drift of smoke and dust, resulting in a wider range of smoke that is not easy to produce.
After all, it is only a large-scale volcanic eruption, and the smoke and dust raised are much larger than the mushroom cloud caused by a nuclear bomb, and over the years, hundreds of nuclear tests have been successfully carried out on the earth, including more than 100 nuclear tests above the surface.
There are no signs of a nuclear winter either, so this is probably a blessing in disguise.
At least there is no need to stage a realistic version of the "Fallout" or "Metro" series, and the rest of the people don't have to hide behind underground bunkers at depths below a kilometer and toil......
But the downside is that the war is still going on and not stopping there.
And the most fundamental reason for this is that the war robots of the Terminator model invented by mankind, and the mechanical army of the Cybertrons, in the long battle, finally separated the winner, that is, the former overwhelmed the latter.
Because the Terminator model of the bionic intelligent machine is completely born for war, human beings don't care about other things at all, that is, they are crazy to invest resources and mass-produce war machines, and Cybertron does not have much advantage in this regard......
It's strange how much mechanical life can't compare to carbon-based creatures in creating an army of mechanical tyrants? But that's just the way it is.
How should I say that? Presumably, whether it is Optimus Prime or Megatron, they are still more willing to create Cybertron's autonomous mechanical life, which is their true kind.
They don't want to create any kind of intelligent machine, just think that the other person is their own kind, even though in the eyes of humans, they are all the same machines. But only they know what the biggest difference between silicon-based life and man-made machines is.
It's the same reason that humans will never easily admit that clones and androids are real humans.
Or to put it more bluntly, that is, the difference between aliens cloning a large number of humans as cannon fodder and humans themselves using clones as cannon fodder, and vice versa.
For Cybertrons, although they will not easily admit that intelligent machines are their kind, in their eyes, this is no different from androids and clones in the eyes of humans.
If they did so, it would be very inhumane to use androids to fight war, and it might be seen as a violation of Cybertron's morals or something.
Megatron may be ruthless enough to do such a thing, but Optimus Prime absolutely can't accept it...... In this way, their requirements for forming their own legions are invisibly more than a notch.
As a result, Cybertron's autonomous mechanical life creates one, and the human terminator can produce ten, but the former may be able to fight five and the latter, but it will never be able to fight ten......
- So, when there are enough ants, they can naturally bite and kill elephants.
And although there are powerful individuals such as Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Red Spider on the alien side, they can be called heroic units.
However, they themselves are not of the same mind, they have different ambitions and pursuits, and they are extremely hostile to each other, and the Cybertron forces that have been divided between the three parties are also constantly fighting.
In addition, human civilization itself is also due to various reasons that can be called "adventures" - I don't know what is going on on Earth, so many strange alien civilization technologies are concentrated, unknown extraterrestrial life tissue samples, etc. - so they have launched a series of special projects led by giant humanoid decisive battle weapons, and a series of subsequent derivative projects.
In addition to the earliest anti-celestial mechs known as "Apostles", there were also slightly inferior giant "Mecha Hunters". It is said that because of the technological breakthrough of floating neuron connection, it can be operated synchronously by two manipulators whose brain neural networks are connected to each other.
It's just strange that these giant "mecha hunters" are even bigger than the original "Apostles", and they appear several years later, and they have one more pilot, and they can directly connect to the network with the logistics base and communicate at any time.
Theoretically speaking, the former's technical content is much higher than the latter, and it has to be much more mature, but the actual problem is that the combat effectiveness of the "Mecha Hunter" is still far from catching up with the earliest "Apostle" body, and there is even a feeling of being very different.
There has been a lot of discussion about this, and many strange ideas have been put forward, and some people think that it is a unique configuration of the "apostles". The technology of the force field is better than the mass field technology that appeared later; There are also people who think that the materials used by the "Apostles" are different, and there are reports that they are alive......
Anyway, they all have different opinions, and they all have a clear opinion, and they don't know where their news came from.
However, the information of the "Apostle" is quite confidential, not only scarce, but also gradually disappeared, and finally almost only exists as a weapon of strategic significance for a few countries, replaced by the gradual popularity of "mecha hunter".
There are also many different views on such a situation.
There is a conspiracy theory that there is no such thing as an initial giant humanoid decisive weapon, and there can be no early technological product that is more powerful and powerful than the later mature technical product, which is a deception used by the government to build confidence in the early stages of the war.
There are also some strange theories circulating that because the "Apostle" itself is actually a living body, not some steel body, and when the synchronization rate between the pilot and the pilot increases to 400% in one battle, the two will merge into one......
And the "apostle", who was originally purely a weapon of war, will gain a weak consciousness that belongs to "me" because of the devouring and fusion of a human being, and then be dominated by the instinct of terror, go crazy and go wild, and will no longer be controlled.
It is said that the two states of the United States were destroyed because of this, not because of the war with the evil aliens, but because they tried to spy on and copy the technology of the "apostles", and tried to forcibly crack the mysteries, and did a lot of experiments, and as a result, they got away with it......
Anyway, that's it, enough super mechs with a large number of intelligent war robots, so that humans can win the first stage without too much difficulty.
The reason why it is said to be a victory in the first stage is that after that, a large number of war machines defected, and a real intellectual crisis was staged...... This is the main reason for the global nuclear bomb wash, and it can be said that there is no winner in this war at all.
After the nuclear war, the world has not completely become a radioactive wasteland, but it has not regained its former prosperity, many places have been abandoned, human beings have collectively migrated into mobile cities, and the realm of nature has reoccupied most of the world.
In the wilderness, there are still many intelligent machines roaming aimlessly, hunting humans......
What's more, Cybertron's evil forces have never stopped their ambitions and are still seeking to make a comeback.

……
The thrusters beneath his feet were spewing flames, and the air around them was distorted by the heat.
Two steel armor that resembled human sizes, reflecting the cold metallic color, fell from the sky, accompanied by two giant robots, one of which was slightly smaller and painted mainly yellow.
The other robot is much larger, and the color paint is mainly red and blue, which are very conspicuous and bright colors anyway.
It was surrounded by a desolate wilderness, the scorching sun shining high in the sky, and in many places there were ruins, but they were covered with dense vegetation, and the walls were also covered with green vines and unnamed plants.
Perhaps the weeds and dead branches beneath your feet are hiding a section of a weathered and barren street.
It is clear that this is a city that was destroyed by war.
"Is this really the nest of red spiders? It can't be misinformation again, right? ”
The face armor of a steel-armored corpse opened, revealing a mature face, none other than Sam, who was already in his thirties...... Uncle.
