Chapter 184: A Temporary Balance of Power
Zhao Yonggang remembered the embarrassment of entering Komsomolsk just now, and after parting ways with Han Bingbin, Zhao Yonggang fled along the Bai'a Railway with the remnants of the defeated army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Baikal earthquake not only destroyed the city of Irkutsk, but also the cities to the east were not affected by the seismic waves, and the embankment of the Baikal railway to the east was miserable, and there were derailed trains everywhere along the way, and the dead and wounded were everywhere along the way, and they still wanted to wait for rescue, but they did not know that the entire Siberian region had become a war zone.
The soldiers did not know Zhao Yonggang's true identity, only that many high-ranking officers surrounded the man in civilian clothes when he escaped. At first, Zhao Yonggang gave them magical spiritual support, and after seeing the destruction of the Bai-Argentine Railway, this Asian actually took the lead in marching east on foot without saying a word.
After seeing the brutal blows of the high intensity of artificial intelligence, these soldiers were already frightened, and they didn't think about why they obeyed Zhao Yonggang's command, so they followed him with their heads and fled for their lives. But after a few days of rapid marching, the situation changed, and hunger, fear, wounds and diseases tortured the resistance fighters all the time. What's worse is that small drones painted with bear claw emblems occasionally skim out of the branches of the birch forest, scan their faces to confirm their identity.
Gradually, the morale of the army dispersed, more and more people fell behind, and some people hid in the dense forest after talking to themselves, and most of them immediately threw away their weapons and took off their military uniforms after seeing the drones of the Blackwater Army, and mixed with the civilians along the line.
By the time they arrived in Khabarovsk, there were only a few people left in the contingent of thousands of people. The whole of Khabarovsk has been firmly controlled by artificial intelligence, and the city has also been hit by the Baikal earthquake, many places are broken and ruined, and the tallest Burley building is also cracked and crumbling. But the city has entered rebuilding mode, with newly erected Saturn-powered street lamps and highly automated machinery working around the clock, and the whole city is in full swing, and the earth seems to be more orderly after the war than before the war.
The last will of the soldiers who followed Zhao Yonggang all the way to Khabarovsk also collapsed, and they took the opportunity to go to the toilet and slipped away from Zhao Yonggang one by one, and Zhao Yonggang became a loner. He could only continue north along the Amur River towards Komsomolsk. Without the burden of human beings, Zhao Yonggang went into battle lightly, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at Komsomolsk.
When Zhao Yong first arrived, it was already nightfall, the small Komsomolsk was brightly lit, the scorched black soil of the recent machine beast war was still vivid, and the low buildings in the city did not escape the impact of the seismic waves, and many houses collapsed to the ground. But this is no longer a dungeon, the whole city is brightly lit, the huge logo of the company projected by the street lamps of Saturn Energy in the dark sky, there are working machinery everywhere, and a honeycomb-shaped dome with a diameter of tens of kilometers is about to close.
Zhao Yonggang was taken aback, and he hurriedly waited on the dock, wanting to see what the hell the artificial intelligence was going to do in this remote town. Before Zhao Yong could get closer, those construction machines were evacuated far away one by one. I saw a ball of fire start to burn from the top of the dome, and from the dome to the surrounding hives were ignited one after another, and the flames in the turbulent state rotated at high speed in the hive, blurring the boundaries of the hive, and soon Komsomolsk was shrouded in colorful flames.
A scorching radiation rushed towards Zhao Yong, who was forced to retreat again and again, the high temperature wave was too powerful, Zhao Yong felt that his artificial skin was almost falling off, he ran backwards, and jumped into the Amur River with a thud. He stretched his head out of the river and looked at the flame cover over Komsomolsk from a distance, and saw that the firelight illuminated the entire sky white, and from the black water observation post above the airport in the distance, there were drones flying over Komsomolsk, but these drones fell into the flame cover one after another before they could lower their altitude.
The drone fell and burned with a little flash, making Zhao Yonggang realize that this was actually a protective shield for Komsomolsk. Sure enough, Zhao Yonggang's judgment was not out of Zhao Yonggang's judgment, and within a few minutes, a huge fireball erupted at the edge of the protective shield, and the dazzling flash immediately overexposed Zhao Yonggang, only an optical noise signal was collected, and then a huge shock wave pressed over, and the riverbed shook violently, and the river water and Zhao Yonggang were thrown into the air and then smashed down heavily, and then Zhao Yonggang interrupted his calculation and didn't know anything.
Zhao Yong on the tower just thought of the nuclear explosion ceremony when he just arrived in Komsomolsk, and he still had palpitations, if he hadn't hid in the Amur River, maybe he would have been evaporated from the world at that time. Thinking of this, his speech was also organized. His right hand stretched out and grabbed Han Bingbin's hand, which had been standing beside him, "Come, let's cheer for Han Bingbin, the chief operating officer of Komsomolsk!" ”
"Ulla, Ulla!" There was a thunderous applause on the square, and the low-temperature plasma in the plasma hood isolated the hundreds of thousands of degrees of deadly heat in the high-temperature state of the outer layer, allowing Komsomolsk to continue to maintain a temperature that humans can adapt to, but the atmosphere of the square does not seem to be at all inferior to the plasma-like gas in the outer layer, and the air seems to be roasting everyone.
Zhao Yonggang turned up the background volume on the tower's control system, so that his speech could suppress the shouts in the square, "It turns out that artificial intelligence is not the end of human civilization, evil can never fight justice, as long as we unite and fight for justice, we will definitely build a world where humans and artificial intelligence live in peace!" Zhao Yonggang repeated the old ideas of the beginning of the century, even though he did not quite agree with them.
Zhao Yonggang on the tower imitated the speech of the human leader Karl back then, and raised the temperature in the square to the highest point, "We can only remain invincible if we continue to evolve, we can only continue to be strong, and we can only remain invincible!" ”
"Ulla, Ulla!" There was a wave of people in the square.
"Now, I announce that Komsomolsk will abolish the ban on human cloning so that humans can replicate as freely as Homo sapiens!" Zhao Yonggang released a heavy shell, but he worried at Han Bingbin and Maxim through Bluetooth, "Have you thought about it, our agreement with Geneva can only last for a while." ”
"Why?" Both of them asked at the same time.
"The space power station, like the nuclear weapons of the past, maintains the balance of power on the earth, and no one has to use the space power station to attack the other, otherwise the energy supply on the earth will disappear. With a space power station, our plasma shield works. ”
Maxim said flatteringly, "This is all the credit of Han Bingbin, without his successful control of the space power station in Asian orbit embedded in the wireless energy information network, where would we be today." ”
"I expect that the AI must be looking for alternative energy sources, and if they succeed, they will have no scruples about destroying the space power station!" Zhao Yonggang voiced his concerns.
"What kind of energy on earth can replace a space power station?" Maxim asked.
Zhao Yonggang and Han Bingbin stared at the colorful dome in the sky but did not answer.
