Chapter 1 The Cold War
War, war has never changed.
At the end of the old world, for the first time, mankind created a nuclear weapon, a bomb with a destructive power of 10,000 times more than conventional weapons, enough to destroy an entire city in an instant. Tens of thousands of people were burned by the heat, and the damage caused by radiation could continue to affect generations of life, and the rising mushroom cloud heralded the birth of a new hell - a hell created by humans themselves.
Nuclear weapons broke the old pattern, and the world war ended. With the deterrence of such a terminal weapon, no one would dare to provoke a war again so easily, especially for those countries that possess nuclear bombs on both sides, and any carelessness would result in a defeat for both sides.
The people shrouded in the shadow of the mushroom cloud entered an eerie state of peace, and instead of fighting, they began an arms race, and under the seemingly civilized diplomacy was another, more terrifying fighting.
This anomalous peace did not last long. Military powers are beginning to show their greedy minions for increasingly scarce resources. The small countries that were blackmailed by the bigwigs of all parties and banned from researching nuclear weapons were unwilling to be threatened all the time and secretly created their trump cards.
Knowing that these nuclear bombs would destroy the world hundreds of times, they still resolutely pressed the launch button. In other words, since the yield of nuclear warheads is being made larger and larger, there is no reason not to use them.
Ironically, six hundred years after the War of Doom, they found themselves in such a similar situation.
The gods, who have ruled over all beings and no longer see nuclear bombs as a threat, have encountered another ultimate weapon.
They have the means to destroy the enemy, but they still have to fear his counterattack.
A new relationship of deterrence was established, and everything was back to square one.
Tai Bai Xing rubbed his sore eyes, walked to the projection, beat his spirits, and called up the sorted report.
After eliminating the rebel leader Jin Chanzi, it was finally ushered in fifty years of complete relaxation, but it was ruthlessly broken in the past few days. A lot of work fell on him, keeping him busy. I have just finished cleaning up the mess in the Valley of the Two Realms, and I have to collect materials non-stop and preside over the strategy meeting, which is really painful.
âJLïŒ7ãâ He pressed the button, and the projection showed the figure of Jing Liuli, "The former member of the Cyborg's Legion escaped in the punishment. Due to the low level of attention to this target, no relevant records have been found, and the detailed whereabouts of the past 500 years are unknown, and it is initially determined that it is concentrated in the Eastern Earth Wasteland. Twenty years ago, it left traces of activity in the Liusha River area, and was observed to have instantaneous displacement behavior in many battles, which is suspected to be closely related to the Dijiang MK.I.
"The target uses standard android warrior equipment, has a strong long-range strike capability within the line-of-sight, and mid-to-close combat effectiveness. Experienced on the battlefield and extremely mobile. There are the usual flaws of androids, unable to act autonomously and requiring command.
"In summary, it was assessed as an A-level target. Since the target may be loaded with core components on the Emperor Chariot, it is important to avoid corrosive and concussive damage when attacking. â
Subsequently, the projection switches to the original profile photo of the canopy, and attaches the latest image of the transformation next to it.
There was a faint cry of regret underneath. The Jade Emperor coughed a few times and glanced at the audience to show seriousness.
"Tian Peng, former head of the Tianhe quantum computer array, technical director of the weapons research and development department. He was once punished for violating the rules of heaven and falling into the way of animals. In recent years, he has been active in the high town of the mortal world, and he has not concealed his identity. However, prior to entering High Town, there was a period of activity records missing, after which the subject recovered for unknown reasons. Observations have shown that the recovery is not complete, and that under certain conditions, the target will have a rebound variation.
"Under normal conditions, the target's physical fitness is twice that of mortals, and after mutation, it will be further improved, and it has the ability to heal itself. On the whole, the combat effectiveness is weak. However, the target has strong engineering skills and knowledge, and has a track record of imitating Heavenly Court weapons in the mortal world. It is assumed that the aircraft found during the search was most likely made for the target.
"After research, it was decided to make the canopy a B-level target. Based on the results of the subject's psychological assessment while in the Heavenly Court, it is planned to attempt to persuade him to surrender or act against him. â
The projection switches again, revealing a Black Impermanence and a Hell Mecha.
"Unidentified target, tentatively codenamed Impermanence. The target is an artificial intelligence, with extremely strong intrusion capabilities, and has stolen the black impermanent body of the underworld without leaving any evidence, and the abnormal lockdown of the Five Fingers Prison during the prison robbery operation was also confirmed to be the target. Obeyed Yu Xuanzang's orders and helped him complete electronic warfare and other auxiliary work many times.
"The target is assessed as B, the source is yet to be investigated. Observations have shown that the target can only be attached to the UAV for the time being. The plan is to cut off the network in range in response, prevent it from moving, and then complete the destruction. â
Tai Bai Xing paused, called up the next information, and his expression became solemn.
"Liquid metal robots, called White Dragons by their companions. There is multiple pieces of evidence that the real identity of the target is an artificial intelligence that hacked into the killer robot. The attack power is extremely strong, and there is a super performance play on the attached body, and the current recorded performance includes: supersonic movement, splitting, micron-level deformation, and supercomputing-level cracking ability......
"In summary, it is assessed as an S-level target, and special attention is paid to its source. An inventory of all systems is currently underway, and it is suspected that the machine was produced by Tianting, but no anomalous traces have been found in the robot production line...... Similar to impermanence, this target seems to be trying to avoid access to our network. The response is based on capture, and the use of lethal weapons is allowed in special circumstances.
In addition, it is recommended that the prefecture conduct a large-scale inventory to find records of all activities of the target. Due to the ambiguity of memory, it is difficult to locate specific clues, and the workload is large, which is listed as a long-term task.
"The remaining two enemy targets involve top secrets, which will be elaborated by Master Guanyin."
With that, he politely gave up his position.
Guanyin walked to the side of the projection, pressed the button, and the projection range was tripled, and a large amount of information appeared in the air, with two heads in the center.
"The target Wukong and Xuanzang are tied for the Ultra level. Next, I will skip the part of Wukong directly and go directly to Xuanzang's analysis. She looked around at the whispering attendees and continued, "I know you want to hear about the material data of the phase column and the research report on its transformation into neutron star matter. But please be sober, Goku is a felony we have been holding for 500 years, and we know enough about him.
"The Curse Project has been criticized by many parties, and you don't believe that this biological program can give Wukong complete control, and you are worried that he will cause an accident after joining the Journey to the West. Now that he's out of control, I'm being used to denounce me further. If this plan had not been implemented, we would have been left with nothing but a fiasco. What is the key to this incident, and do you have the least judgment at all? â
The whispers gradually faded away, and they each had their own thoughts, and waited for Guanyin to say the following words with mixed feelings.
"A criminal who should not have had a chance to escape is released by a few rebels, and that is what should be more concerned. Many people disagree with listing Xuanzang as Ultra-class, and I think you all underestimate his danger.
"That's right, he's the first person I've ever created, and I've thrown him into the nether because of a feedback defect in his brain. It was a refresher on my duty not to follow the formal process of registration and destruction, because it was intended to be a subject of observation and not to take into account the accidents that followed.
"He has an unconventional reserve of information, a very precise insight, and an unbelievable grasp of our weaknesses. Some people say it's because the canopy reveals our information, and some people say it's because of the impermanence and the white dragon, but have you ever wondered why these people would rather listen to the command of a mortal who has only done a simple transformation?
"And why did a mortal who didn't know anything about his identity some time ago suddenly increase in strength, become the leader of this rebel army, and complete a series of organized targeted attacks?
"I analyzed a large number of memories of the deceased and tried to find out the cause of these changes in Xuanzang's body, but since memory extraction can usually only be reduced to an approximate flow of information, little progress has been made. However, the time point of Xuanzang's mutation has been narrowed to a traceable range. There was an event during this period that made me very interested in someone who was there.
"The cave where Xuanzang has lived since he was a child suddenly used a wireless node one day to send out suspicious gold ore coordinates. Shortly thereafter, a nearby illegal scientific research facility was attacked by youkai, and none of the mortals killed in the attack left a record of the incident. If it weren't for the discovery of their souls in time, no one would have discovered the attack. So, who is covering it all up? What secret does he have? â
Guanyin looked into the corner of the conference room and smiled imperceptibly.
"Everyone should remember that when the Five Fingers Prison was locked down, there was an immortal who was still in the prison. He cut off all communication and insisted on going his own way, intending to settle the matter himself. As a result, he failed to stop the prison robbery, and in the encirclement and suppression of Wukong, he has long since disappeared. His explanation for this was that he was seriously injured and urgently transferred, and his previous behavior in prison was also in line with his usual style.
"It's a pity that the illegal scientific research institution I just mentioned is the mastermind behind the discovery. And a certain clue provided by the Tota Heavenly King established the exact connection between the coordinates of the gold mine and this attack, which strengthened my thoughts.
"I have every reason to suspect that it was he who had ulterior motives to cover up the attack. And its purpose is to cover up his contact with Xuanzang during this period! â
With that, she stretched out her right hand and pointed straight ahead.
"Yang Jian, what is your explanation for this?"
