Chapter 176: Overwatch
176, Overwatch
Humans and robots. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Carbon-based life and silicon-based life. Such a topic has been brought up countless times. The world of "Terminator" is like this, and so is this world.
This world has been fond of the development and use of robots since the age of steam, whether there has been a steampunk style of robots, I don't know, there is no way to test. In the following time, a variety of different robots emerged.
However, in the year 2042, an explosive news appeared! A company called Omnica Corporation suddenly announced that the first generation of intelligent machines called "Omnic" or intelligent machines had been successfully developed. In various displays, this robot is tireless, powerful, and moves accurately without making mistakes.
What's even more enticing is that it is matched with the intelligent center, omniums. This kind of intelligent machine center that can learn and evolve by itself has the ability to automatically produce and equip various robots, and in practical use, it can also independently develop and improve the software and hardware of these intelligent machines.
It is conceivable that with the addition of this labor force, the economy of the whole world will enter a golden age in an instant. Despite repeated warnings from the genius scientist Tobiang Lindholm from Sweden, the people who were carried away by the benefits of the sapient machine did not pay any attention to the young dwarf who had just made a name for himself.
Huge sums of money began to pour into the Omnika Group, and a large number of intelligent hubs were produced and installed around the world. Australia, Siberia, East and West Coasts of the United States, Africa......
However, a shocking scandal has emerged! The Omnika Group did not reach the extent they had portrayed, and the centers began to crumble, and their production capacity was declining, far from reaching their goal. It's a money-losing business.
So the Omnika Group was investigated and prosecuted. The huge debt collapsed the company in an instant, all the core of the intelligence machine was shut down, and a large number of intelligence machines were abandoned.
However, all this is only the beginning, and there is already a self-conscious intellectual center, which is naturally unwilling to accept the fate of being treated as garbage. They began to quietly restart and establish their own control hub in the depths of the ocean. They learn human technology through the Internet, and under the self-learning mechanism, they can develop more advanced technologies on their own.
Soon, when the first fully armed intelligent machines appeared in front of humans, humans finally realized that the crisis had arrived.
The power of human beings is vulnerable in the face of these endless, tireless, and emotionless armies of intelligent machines, a large number of cities have fallen, and many countries have even secretly reached an agreement with the intelligent centers to cease fire and surrender and share technology, and mankind has come to the brink of extinction.
But humanity is not without help, in 2046, at the UN headquarters in New York. An organization called Overwatch was quietly established under the auspices of UN Under-Secretary-General Gabrielle Aidao. This organization, which gathers all the top elites of mankind, had five people at the beginning.
Super Soldier Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes.
Sweden's genius scientist Tobiang Lindholm.
Egyptian sniper Anna Eymarie.
and the mysterious Chinese warrior, liao (辽).
Years later, Gabrielle Aido described the founding of Overwatch as follows: "We try to light a candle in the dark and bring a little bit of light. Unexpectedly, this light actually shone on the whole world. ”
In the past ten years, the "Overwatch" has gradually expanded, is active in every battlefield, and has launched special operations against the intelligent machine center many times. Finally, in a surprise attack, they managed to destroy the control hub of the Intelligence. The armies of sapient machines, which had lost their command, began to slow and sluggish. Victory, finally arrived.
The strength of the remnants of the intelligent machines is still strong, but among the intelligent machines that already have wisdom, there are also a considerable number of intelligent machines who are tired of war. Thus a peace agreement between humans and the sapient machines was reached. Australia was given to the Wisdom Machine, and here, they will establish a Wisdom Hub.
After the war, Jack Morrison became the commander of Overwatch, and Overwatch began to reorganize into a worldwide peacekeeping organization.
However, contradictions remain. Gabriel Reyes, a former Overwatch commander, has a grudge against Jack Morrison's ascendancy. This, coupled with his usual unscrupulous and cruel style, led him and Jack to drift apart. The squad under him is known as the "Shadow Watch".
The Shadow Watch acted aggressively and became a massacre in multiple missions, which also made the conflict between Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes begin to come to the fore.
The world is not peaceful.
The super yakuza empire, which has been attracting attention, is also said to have had civil unrest in the Shimada group from Japan. The eldest son of the family, Hanzo Shimada, killed the second son, Shimada Genji, and ran away from home.
In the waters of the East China Sea, a group of mysterious giant intelligent machines also began to appear, destroying coastal cities. South Korea has established a drone unit called "Meka" to resist the invasion of smart machines.
In Australia, the aborigines who were dissatisfied with the occupation of their homeland by the intelligence machine formed the "Australian Liberation Front" and began to attack the local intelligence center. They succeeded, and the Robotics Core was destroyed. However, the explosion of the fusion reactor has also turned the Australian outback into a radiation zone.
And the contradiction will completely erupt in 2070. At the headquarters of Overwatch in Zurich, Switzerland, there was a sudden violent explosion, and the entire building was plowed to the ground. No one knows what happened, just rumors that it was caused by the infighting between Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes.
In 2071, the United Nations declared the dissolution of Overwatch, and all Overwatch activities have been illegal since then. This organization, which has existed for nearly 30 years and once saved humanity from danger, has finally come to an end.
Jack Morrison is missing, and Gabriel Reyes is seriously injured and has mutated while undergoing treatment before escaping. The former comrades-in-arms fell apart.
"And now, is it the Overwatch world of 2076?" Tang Yu reviewed the plot he had learned in the system space in his mind, and looked at the date on a newspaper full of Korean in his hand. Then he gave it to Christina and asked her to help translate. After entering the mission, he and Christina appear on a high-speed train in South Korea with an unknown destination.
"May I sit here?" A voice full of vicissitudes came. Before Tang Yu could answer, this person sat down unceremoniously across from him.
With a bang, he threw his feet on the table and shook comfortably, and Tang Yu noticed that the leather boots he was wearing still had spurs on them. Looking up, the man was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a somewhat worn red cloak around it, equipped with mechanical armor. His left arm was a robotic hand, nimbly lighting a bad cigar and placing it in his mouth, which he hadn't cleaned for an unknown amount of time, and was surrounded by messy stubble.
A typical western cowboy who couldn't be more typical, Tang Yu smiled, he knew who this person was.
Taking a deep puff of his cigar and puffing out the smoke on the no-smoking sign next to him, the man smiled at Tang Yu and said, "I am, McRae." (To be continued.) )
