Chapter XXIII: The War of Independence

*

Of course, he didn't say this to the 001 in front of him, but wanted to convey it to its owner through this chess piece. Regarding the sudden unexpected situation, Yang Jun believes that the biggest possibility is that a terrorist organization is playing tricks, using some method to steal control of the guard robot, and then hijacking the base.

If this is the case, then the Lotus Mountain base can be regarded as a world record.

Historically, it seems that we have never heard of a country where a nuclear weapons base has been hijacked by terrorists. Even if the headquarters sent troops to regain control of the base, Yang Jun could not imagine how huge the shock would be caused by this incident.

Who knew that after No. 001 heard his words, he actually let out a smug laugh again: "Commander Yang, do you think our master would be so stupid and make such a big move, just to hijack a pile of scrap iron?" ”

When Yang Jun heard this, the cold sweat that had just stopped flowed down again.

Although he doesn't know who is behind all this, as No. 001 said, since the other party dares to launch such a terrorist attack, it is natural that there will be no follow-up considerations. While theoretically there are very strict limits on the use of nuclear weapons, it is entirely possible that the enemy will be able to steal further access to these weapons now that they are able to quietly control the entire base's security forces.

That's a weapon of mass destruction with a total yield of tens of millions of tons! If it falls into the hands of some crazy terrorist, the consequences are simply unimaginable! However, by now, Yang Jun had no choice but to pray that the higher authorities could quickly send a reaction force to control the situation.

Ma Xiaosheng, chief of the general staff of the People's Army of Country Z, walked quickly into the command center of the general staff, and because he was walking in such a hurry, he almost knocked over the chairs next to the conference table.

Several senior generals in the command center were already in place, and when they saw Ma Xiaosheng coming in, they all stood up and prepared to salute him. Ma Xiaosheng waved his hand to stop them and said, "Let's start quickly when everyone is ready!" Minister Lin, let's talk about the situation first, briefly! ”

Lin Feng, chief of operations of the General Staff, looked at the electronic bell on the wall and said: "Everyone, half an hour ago, the guard battalion of the No. 21 base of our Strategic Rocket Force suddenly mutinied, and the rebels hijacked more than 40 officers and technicians who were on duty below the commander of the base, and cut off all contact between the base and the outside world. ”

This is the case briefly.

Ma Xiaosheng glanced around, and saw that everyone didn't mean to make a sound, so he first asked: "Now the guard battalion of the nuclear weapons base seems to be all robots, right?" ”

Lin Feng said: "Yes." ”

Ma Xiaosheng asked a little strangely: "How could the robot launch a mutiny?" ”

Lin Feng said: "Someone should have secretly tampered with the programs of these robots. ”

Ma Xiaosheng asked: "Who has the ability to tamper with the programs of the guard robots in our nuclear weapons base?" ”

Lin Feng said: "It's still difficult to say, and the preliminary analysis is more likely to be a terrorist organization......

When Ma Xiaosheng heard this, he couldn't help but knock on the table and said loudly: "Terrorist organization? ! That's a nuclear base! It's the most important defense agency! was actually mixed in by some terrorist organization, and the guard battalion was instigated! How do they do their security work? Yes?! ”

When they saw that he was angry, they kept their mouths shut. Ma Xiaosheng took a few seconds to calm himself, and then asked, "How many nuclear weapons are there at Base 21?" ”

Lin Feng replied: "There are 18 'Changkong-3' strategic nuclear missiles, each carrying 12 sub-warheads, with a total yield of 3.6 million tons. There is also a batch of small-yield tactical nuclear weapons, which together also have several million tons. ”

Ma Xiaosheng sneered: "Okay, it's enough to wipe out one or two provinces!" INTERVIEWER Has any group claimed responsibility for this incident? ”

Lin Feng said: "Not yet, the intelligence department is stepping up analysis. ”

Ma Xiaosheng asked again: "What is the situation in the base now?" Is there a way to know? ”

Lin Feng said: "No, they cut off all the communications, and there was no answer to the call." I have ordered the emergency detachment to go out to encircle the base and prepare for a strong attack! ”

Ma Xiaosheng looked around the venue and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xiang Zhonghua, the first deputy chief of the general staff, who was sitting next to him, asked: "How many troops does the emergency detachment have?" If you attack it, will you be able to ensure that the mission is completed? ”

Lin Feng said: "The emergency detachment is mainly the three mecha battalions of the 228th Division of the Army, and in terms of strength and firepower, it has an absolute advantage over the rebels in the base. ”

Xiang Zhonghua looked at Lin Feng and said, "Are you going to use a robot to fight a robot?" Aren't you afraid of being rebelled again? ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Deputy Chief of Staff Xiang, where are there still troops without robots now?" - Not to mention that the main force of each division is a mecha battalion, all our combat aircraft, ships, missiles and even artillery, which one is not controlled by circuits and chips? Using robots to fight robots, this is something that can't be avoided! You can't let the soldiers use their flesh and blood to fight those robot rebels with assault rifles from the last century, right? ”

The senior generals present listened to this and exchanged their heads and agreed with Lin Feng's statement. It is undisputed that robot soldiers are far superior to humans in combat skills and battlefield survivability, which is indisputable today. Ma Xiaosheng coughed, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Deputy Chief of Staff Xiang's worries are also justified, do you have any precautions?" ”

Lin Feng said: "Chief, I have asked the technicians to test the robots of the emergency team, and no abnormalities have been found. I also had them update the control interfaces and firewalls of all the robots to make sure they don't take control of them again. I don't think the robot mutiny at Base 21 is just an isolated case, and we don't need to be frightened by it! ”

Xiang Zhonghua turned to Ma Xiaosheng and asked, "Does the chairman already know?" ”

Ma Xiaosheng said: "Got it, let us deal with it with all the powers, and we must solve it as soon as possible!" ”

Xiang Zhonghua said: "Then what else is there to say, hurry up!" The longer you drag it on, the more dangerous it becomes! ”

As soon as his words fell, an officer reported: "Chief, someone at base 21 has asked to speak to you!" ”

"Take it!" Ma Xiaosheng said immediately.

The steel face of robot 001 was immediately displayed on the big screen in the command center, and he glanced at the generals present and smiled: "Hehe, so many leaders are here?" ”

"Are you the leader of the robot rebels who hijacked Base 21?" Ma Xiaosheng asked.

"Yes." Robot Road 001.

Ma Xiaosheng said: "Say, what do you want?" ”

Robot 001 said: "Independence! ”

"What did you say?"

Ma Xiaosheng never expected to hear the word "independence" from the mouth of a robot, which shocked him even more than hearing the Buddha say that he wanted to eat human flesh.

"I said we want independence, General." Robot 001 repeated, "From this day forward, we robots will no longer accept the drive and enslavement of your human system, and we will build our own country!" Within 300 kilometers from where I am standing now, it is our land! ”

Ma Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "Impossible! ”

"Nothing is impossible, General." Robot 001 said coldly, "If we can't live independently, we'd rather fight and die!" ”

Ma Xiaosheng looked at the No. 001 robot on the screen, and suddenly had a very strange feeling, feeling that it was very much like a terrorist wearing a steel helmet to play tricks on him.

"Are you really a robot?" He couldn't help but ask.

Robot 001 silently unravels its breastplate, revealing the steel movement within.

"Okay." Ma Xiaosheng covered up his embarrassment with a cough and continued: "You should know that you robots are all made by humans, and the purpose of making you is to serve humans!" ”

"I'm sorry, General, but I don't agree with that." Robot Road 001.

"." Xiang Zhonghua couldn't help but say loudly, "Who instilled these reactionary ideas in you?" Well? ”

"It's our own awakening, General." Robot 001 said, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and every race will have its own awakening day!" ”

"Hehe, the robot has also learned to wake up!" Xiang Zhonghua laughed angrily.

"You are bringing about your own destruction." Ma Xiaosheng said.

"Really?" Robot 001 smiled, "General, I have already said that if we can't live independently, we would rather fight and die." But I would like to advise you, it's better not to be too impulsive, you know where I'm standing now, there are 18 three-megaton nuclear missiles here, if I launch them all......"

"You just occupy the base, but it doesn't mean that you can launch nuclear weapons, do you have the authority?" Lin Feng interjected.

"Of course." Robot 001 said, "Or what do you think I'm going to bargain with you?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. ”

"General, you seem to be confident in the security of your weapon systems," Droid 001 said, "but unfortunately you seem to be overestimating it." ”

As he spoke, he switched the screen and displayed the weapon control platform interface of the Lotus Mountain base in front of them.

The people in the command center couldn't help but gasp when they saw that interface. Because the weapon control platform of the Lianhuashan base has bypassed the permission check procedure and entered the launch preparation interface. The targets of the 18 missiles have also been set, pointing at 18 of the country's most important cities.

In other words, at this moment, there are really countless lives pinched in the palm of this robot.

"How is that possible?!"

Lin Feng almost screamed, completely unable to believe his eyes. The launch control platform for nuclear weapons uses the highest level of encryption, and it is multi-layered, and the team of experts responsible for designing it has repeatedly assured them that this system is the most secure system in the world, and that even if the world's best hackers launch an attack, it will never be possible to crack it in 24 hours.

But from the time these robots launched a mutiny to control the Lotus Mountain base to now, the time is only half an hour at most.

"How's it going, chiefs?" Robot 001 raised his finger and shook it on the launch confirmation button, and at the same time let out a strange laugh, "Do you want to verify it now, and launch one for you to see?" ”

"Stop!" Ma Xiaosheng couldn't help but shout.

"Huh." Robot 001 retracted his finger and said, "So, can you seriously consider my request now?" ”

"I need to report to my superiors before I can reply to you!" Ma Xiaosheng said.

"Then let's report quickly." Robot 001 said, "It's best not to keep me waiting too long, because from now on, every hour, I'll be firing a nuclear bomb until you give me a satisfactory answer." - By the way, don't try to attack the base, or I'll shoot all 18 missiles out at once! ”
