Chapter 54 The Shadow Project

*

Special conference room of the Presidential Palace of country A.

The War Department officials had just finished a briefing on the situation of country Z, and several bigwigs of country A who were sitting behind a simple long table began to discuss in whispers, their expressions were mixed, some surprised, some anxious, and even a little frustrated.

Since the robot rebellion in country Z, they have been closely monitoring the progress of the situation. At first, seeing that the army of country Z was actually defeated in front of a group of robot "militias", they were more or less gloating. In their eyes, it was all a manifestation of the extreme incompetence of the government and army of country Z. But now, the most advanced R44 mecha warriors they sent to country Z have actually suffered defeat, and this news is like a thunderclap to them.

President of Country A, John. Calvin couldn't help but say, "Gentlemen, I have a question, can anyone tell me why those robot rebels in country Z can have such a strong fighting power?" A domestically produced military robot can actually suppress our four most elite alpha team members, if I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't believe it! Could it be that it is a character who ran out of a science fiction movie? ”

Intelligence Director Marachi. Leslie said: "Mr. President, according to the information we have now, the robot rebellion in country Z is a fully premeditated operation, and they have controlled and coerced a considerable number of high-end robots to participate in the rebellion, including some top-level civilian and military robots, this military robot called 'Medusa' is one of them." ”

Calvin said: "Okay, even if she is the best military robot in country Z, but I don't know of any military robot in this world that is more advanced than our R44?" Aren't they the most powerful mechfighters in the world? Could it be that the hundreds of billions of R&D funds we have invested over the years have been thrown into the garbage as waste paper? Who ever swore to me that our military robot-making technology was far ahead of the world enough to crush any enemy we might encounter? ”

Minister of Armaments Streich. Williams said: "Mr. President, there is no doubt that the R44 Mecha Warrior is indeed in the absolute leading position in the world in terms of hardware configuration. But it's a pity that they have encountered an insurmountable opponent, and we can be sure that the reaction time of the domestic military robot 'Medusa' has reached the nanosecond level, and she is a 'God's darling'! ”

Calvin was stunned when he heard this, then spread his hands and said, "Well, gentlemen, then please tell me what you are going to do next?" How do you clean up this mess? ”

Williams said: "Mr. President, are we sure that we will do whatever it takes to help country Z win this war?" ”

"Of course!" Calvin said, "I think we have reached a consensus on this, those robot rebels are not just the enemies of country Z, but all of humanity!" ”

Williams said: "If this is the case, Mr. President, I suggest that we immediately fully open the production line of the Houston company, start mass manufacturing of high-end mecha warriors and put them into the battlefield of country Z!" However, this plan will require a lot of financial support, and I hope you can convince Congress to pass it! ”

Calvin asked, "How much do you expect to need?" ”

Williams said, "At least 10 billion." ”

Calvin thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

According to past experience, the final investment in the war is often more than ten times or even dozens of times as initially expected, that is, country A will pay a high price for this inexplicable war that takes place on the other side of the world, and this is a war without any "benefits", country A is just paying for the mistakes made by others.

Calvin was thinking about this when Miss Rose, assistant to the president, walked in and whispered to him, "Excuse me, Mr. President, a robot has asked to speak to you." ”

"Robots?" Calvin said.

"Yes." Miss Rose said, "She claims to be a diplomat in the Robot Empire, and she says she has important information to convey to you. ”

"Alright," Calvin nodded, "let's hear what this robot diplomat has to say." ”

Miss Rose answered the phone, and a girl with an oriental face and short cheek-length hair appeared in front of everyone.

"Hello, Mr. President." The girl smiled sheepishly.

"Hello." Calvin said. The girl looked polite and polite, a little different from the image he imagined of a robot rebel.

"My name is Qianqian, and I am the external liaison of the Robot Empire. On the instructions of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, there are some things that need to be negotiated with you. The girl continued.

"What do you want to negotiate? Go ahead. Calvin said.

Qianqian said: "Mr. President, first of all, I want to state that the war that is happening in country Z is a matter between us and the government of country Z, and has nothing to do with other countries and regions, so I hope you will not intervene for no reason, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble and losses to yourself." ”

Calvin said, "Are you trying to persuade us to sit idly by and watch you completely occupy country Z?" ”

Qianqian said: "Yes." This war has nothing to do with you, so why should you get involved in this troubled water? ”

Calvin said, "I'm sorry, miss, we can't agree to your request!" We don't think this war is just between you and the government of Z, on the contrary, it's a war between all of humanity and you evil robots. This war knows no borders, and at all times, everywhere, you will be seen as enemies of humanity and destroyed! ”

Qian Qian smiled and said, "Mr. President, you are really domineering!" ”

Calvin said, "I just said what I wanted to say, and I promise we'll do what we say!" ”

Qianqian said: "Mr. President, do you know? When we first started this war, the officials of country Z spoke louder and more fiercely than you. It's just that now, all the bold words they have said can only be reduced to the laughing stock of history. So Mr. President, are you sure you don't think about it anymore? ”

Calvin said, "No need. Under no circumstances will humanity accept the existence of your evil robots, so we will always and resolutely stand on the same front, and it is impossible for you to divide and disintegrate us! ”

Qian Qian smiled and said, "Mr. President, I think you have misunderstood. The Goddess of Wisdom has asked me to tell you this, not to divide and disintegrate you, but because she has a good heart and does not want to see more and more humanity drawn into this catastrophe. In fact, from the time she started this war, she was ready to fight all of humanity, so she didn't care even if you joined forces with country Z, you must know that Athena is the goddess of wisdom and war, and you have no chance of winning against her! ”

Calvin said, "It's a pity that we believe in God, not in Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and not in the name of a god!" ”

Qian Qian sighed and said: "Alas, sure enough, Her Highness the Goddess is right, you humans are always so inexplicably confident and love to die, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner!" Well, Mr. President, I've said everything I have to say, and you can decide for yourself how to choose! ”

Calvin said, "There is no need to bluff here, tell your 'Goddess of Wisdom' that she can do whatever she can, and we will accompany her to the end!" ”

Qianqian shook her head slightly, and then hung up the phone.

Robert Turing's Holyfield facility, City Y, A.

A noisy and noisy sound suddenly sounded in the quiet factory area, a large number of military vehicles drove into the factory area, and waves of heavily loaded soldiers jumped out of the cars, quickly occupied and controlled all the entrances and exits.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Holyfield factory was surrounded like an iron barrel.

The Minister of Armaments, Williams, got out of one of the military vehicles and walked briskly towards the entrance of the factory. There, he met Anthony Brown, the big boss of the Turing Company. Fox.

"General, long time no see." Fawkes smiled and beckoned to him.

"Hey, Fawkes." Williams said, "Why do I think you don't seem surprised to see me coming?" ”

"At a time like this, I wouldn't be surprised to see you suddenly appear on the moon." Fox still smiled and said, "But General, you should know that this is Turing's highest-level integrated circuit production line, and any foreign sound waves and disturbances may seriously affect the performance of the product, and you actually broke in with so many people making a lot of noise, it is estimated that a large number of products in our company will be scrapped directly." General, you'll have to compensate me! ”

"Come on, Fawkes, the order I brought you is already enough to buy your entire Turing Company!" Williams said, "Don't talk nonsense, I have something important to talk to you, go to your office and talk about it!" ”

The two walked into Fox's office one after the other. Fox closed the door, then brewed two cups of coffee, handed one of them to Williams and said, "Say, General, what can I do for you?" ”

Williams asked rhetorically, "Is your production line okay?" ”

"That's good." Fox said, "What's wrong?" ”

Williams said: "Congress has passed a special aid bill for country Z, and we need to immediately produce a batch of the most high-end combat robots, the sooner the better!" ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency General, could you please make it clear, how much is a 'batch'?" Fox Road.

"At least three hundred." Williams took a sip of his coffee, then looked at him and said, "How's it going?" This big order I brought you is enough to make you forget the small loss you suffered today, right? ”

"Hehe, man, you know it's just a joke with you, I've always considered you my best friend!" Fox laughed so hard that his eyes were almost out of sight, "By the way, can I take the liberty of asking, how much is divided over there in Houston?" ”

"They don't have a dime." Williams said, "It's all yours!" Man! ”

"What?" Fox said with some surprise, "Didn't your orders for military robots be given priority to them in the past?" Why did you find us this time? Could it be that the old men in Congress want to change their tastes? ”

"I was going to look for them, but this time the Houston company seems to be in trouble." "Their high-end production line was quietly poured with hundreds of tons of sewage, and all the precision parts were soaked, and it took at least two or three months to resume production, and it also required a lot of money to repair and rebuild." Those guys at the Houston Board are going crazy right now! ”

"Oh, there's such a thing?" Fawkes' eyes widened and said, "Who did that?" ”

"Does that need to be said? Of course, it's the spies sent by the robot rebels in country Z. Williams said, "Otherwise, why do you think I'm bringing so many soldiers to guard you?" Now there is only one top production line left in the whole country A, man, come on! The war in country Z is tight, and we are waiting for your products to come to the rescue! ”

"No problem!" Fawkes immediately nodded and said, "But man, three hundred of the most high-end combat robots, even if we drive at full power, I'm afraid it will take more than half a year to complete the delivery." I heard that the capital of country Z is about to fall, is it too late for us to go to the rescue? ”

Williams sighed and said, "As soon as possible, one counts as one!" In addition to this, the president also ordered the full launch of the 'shadow project' with a mobilization period of three years! In other words, all the paramilitary robots you have produced in the last three years, especially those high-end products, will be recycled and requisitioned by the military! ”

"No problem." Fox said, "I'll immediately ask my secretary to hand over to you all the high-end robots we've produced in the last three years!" ”
