Special case Fran system, Al-Aqsa Star III Airport.

As sirens sounded, the bustling Allied officers and soldiers turned their heads to see a convoy of five military flying cars and thirty military mechs speeding through the urgently cleared streets. After passing through several self-opening guard posts in succession, he drove into the heavily guarded core area at a high speed.

As soon as the convoy passed, the open sentry barrier was closed. The guards and sentries returned to their old cold and serious expressions, supervising the Allied officers and soldiers queuing up at the door to enter the core area to verify their access rights on the identity system, even several Allied generals.

The sirens of the convoy disappeared into the depths of the core area. After glancing at each other in surprise or whispering guesses about the identities of the passengers in the convoy that could make it straight to the core, order gradually returned. They hop on railcars or walk briskly onto the automatic conveyor belt and run to their destinations.

Standing on the tense and busy streets, looking up, the stars are still shining outside the blue isolation cover over the harbor.

Countless Filipino warships dragged their long ionic light tails, sliding overhead in an endless stream. Bright lighthouses and giant advertising screens float silently into the distance. Above, the massive blue-white orbs of the Al-Aqsa Colony came to the fore.

The planet was shrouded in white clouds, which rolled and snaked away. From time to time, several space fighters can be seen burrowing out of the clouds, rolling neatly in the air, and shooting towards the fleet floating in space.

With the arrival of Siyo's troops in the Palai system, the entire Triflan system has become a hectic and tense barracks. Every day, countless supplies and warships gather here, and countless light or radio waves fly into the vast universe, sending orders to the entire Fiji League.

Here, the heart of Fimeng, beating violently.

When nearly 300 A-class fleets in the west attacked the jump point day and night, and when the Al-Aqsa Fortress, which was originally in the outer space orbit of the Al-Aksa Star, was also forced to start fighting in the airspace of the jump point, the entire Filipino League was already running frantically under the stimulation of the crisis on the front line of life and death.

The battle at the jump point was fierce. It is said that the airspace has been clogged with the wreckage of the battleship all afternoon.

On several occasions, the Western fleet came close to breaking the jump point. The Allies only relied on the fortification of the fortress and the power of the fortress artillery, and launched a desperate counterattack to drive the enemy out.

For a few days, the void there had not stopped flashing. Although the spaceships passing through the outer channel of the war zone were far away, they could also see the energy cannon lights crisscrossing like meteor showers, and they could also see the huge light clusters produced by the battleships when they exploded and expanded sharply.

The Cosmic Void is incapable of transmitting sound. However, the constant light was more terrifying than any cannon fire or scream. It was a silent black hole where people fought in silence. Every minute and every second, countless Filipino soldiers died, and countless Filipino warships were reduced to ashes.

No one knew how long the Allies would be able to resist, or when they would rush into the endless flash. To meet an ending that has few possibilities other than death. Everyone just knows that when the god of war, Hastings, leaves his distant back in the cannon light of the jump point, everything is on his own.

Compared with the indignant people of various countries, the officers and men of the Allied fleet stationed in Al-Aqsa were much calmer about Hastings's decision.

Perhaps it was the discipline of the army, or perhaps it was because he had repeatedly thought about the situation after the departure of the seriously ill Hastings, so when the news came that Hastings refused to return and led the coalition fleet south, the Al-Aqsa fortress did not make any waves.

Moreover, under the frantic attack of the Western Fleet, everyone had no time to think. The soldiers at the front were busy fighting, the officers and men in the rear were busy gathering, busy dispatching supplies, busy repairing damaged ships, busy caring for the wounded. Everyone is working hard every day as soon as they wake up.

They didn't have time to stop. Because, they want to use the forty-sharp A-class fleet to withstand the attack of more than two hundred fleets assembled in the Palai system by Xiyue!

Maybe it's the opposite. When everyone is desperate, the current Fimeng always surprises everyone.

First of all, the leaders of the major member states of the Filipino League have announced after the emergency meeting that they will increase the deployment of reinforcements and the mobilization of materials.

The armies of the Republic of Fiyan, the Republic of Chakna, and the Federation of Celelia are urgently massing, and the fleets of the allies in the other major theaters are sailing day and night towards Trivran. As a result, many countries have even reduced their military reserves to a dangerous level.

According to the calculations of the Allied command, as long as the defenders of Al-Aqsa Fortress were able to hold out until a week later, the Allied fleet could increase to eighty. In twenty days, the Allied fleet could be increased to one hundred and fifty!

In addition, everyone found that with the completion of the Skynet upgrade, unconsciously, the work efficiency of themselves and everyone around them has improved a lot compared with the past.

This improvement is visible to the naked eye.

For example, the tedious replenishment of the group fleet, which used to take a week, can now be completed and fed back by simply entering the number of items that need to be replenished. If there are no needed supplies in the warehouse, the system will even give a specific time for the arrival of the transports that are still on the way, and complete the resupply as soon as the ship arrives.

If you don't even have it on the road, then the system can also help you query the substitutes for the materials transferred from this article, or find the nearest source of goods and even the production enterprises and products off the assembly line for you, and help you complete a series of applications and transfer arrangements such as purchase, capital, and capacity.

The logistics department, which had been busy before the Allies moved south, was now idle in the flood of supplies arriving and the fleet supply requests like snowflakes. Even the maintenance department, which can't be lazy in its work, only needs to work according to the intelligent detection data and task list given by the Skynet system, and there is absolutely no need to worry about finding faults and work arrangements.

Also feeling all these changes are the personnel, intelligence, finance and other departments.

Find someone through Skynet, it will definitely be able to send the person you want to find in the shortest possible time. Thanks to its power, everyone knows what time and what means of transport they should take from which route they should reach which place they should be reached.

As for the biographical information of the people who need to be investigated, it is not a problem. Skynet can even expose the person from birth to you if you want, provided you have enough permissions, of course.

The same is true for information processing. Important intelligence is always at the top of the work of the intelligence service. If you think that the documents below with only one star or two stars may be buried with no important information and go through them, then you will only waste your own time.

And among all the departments, the most felt and most important about this is, of course, the current combat units.

The officers and men of the fleet have found that the optimized command and coordination system has become faster and more efficient than before. Whether it's manual instructions or automated instructions, it's surprisingly fast. The efficiency of power transmission between the power compartment and the main gun compartment has increased, and the fire control system has become more precise. In a very short period of time, the Electrics were able to raise their electronic attack firepower to heights that they had never dreamed of before.

There are even pilots who claim that they can drive the battleship to play football after the Skynet upgrade. When entering the port later, the control of the automatic tractor is not needed at all. With Skynet's assistance, warships can be docked precisely at the dockside with a difference of one millimeter.

This kind of change is everywhere.

Whether it's the Fiji Allied forces in Al-Aqsa or the Allied fleets in the waterway. transport fleets, and even pedestrians walking on the streets. Customers standing in front of the vending machines and factory owners sitting in their offices with their frowns worried all find life so much easier.

Skynet, which has just completed the upgrade, seems to come to life.

The motorcade roaring into the core of the Third Harbor stopped in front of the gate of a huge metal building shaped like an eggshell.

Escorted by heavily armed guards, thirteen masked men wearing special masks walked briskly through the doors of the metal building. From getting out of the car to entering the door, to closing the door, the whole process takes no more than five seconds.

If you look down from the sky at this moment, you can see that the entire core area, centered on metal buildings, has been placed under martial law. Whether it's on the rooftops of buildings or on the streets, there are guards with serious expressions, patrolling mechs, and low-altitude harbor monitors.

The guards escorting the thirteen people into the building stopped at the automatic door of the first security zone and were replaced by the second group of guards, and by the next automatic door, they were replaced by the third group of guards.

And so on and so forth. By the time thirteen men in special masks reached the door of the last safe zone, the guards guarding them had changed five times.

The automatic door of the security zone opened, and thirteen mermaids entered. This time, however, when the guards remained behind the closed automatic doors, there were no Shinshu guards to take over, and in front of them was a Feiyang soldier who was also wearing a mask and a military uniform, but there was no logo on his body.

"Please come with me." The soldier waiting in the security zone bowed slightly and made an inviting gesture, and the automatic door on the opposite side opened.

Bright lights streamed through the widening cracks in the doors, illuminating the thirteen masked men in the safe zone.

They stepped out of the automatic door in the light. As far as the eye can see, a huge oval hall with a height of two hundred meters and a length and width of more than a thousand meters appears in front of you. Compared to this huge room, the automatic door behind it is like a rat hole in the corner of the opera house.

Walking into the hall, everyone immediately saw a suspended space battleship on the central circular platform.

It was a battleship made of unknown metal like mercury, and it was pitch-black and shaped like a tadpole.

Unlike ordinary warships, there are hardly any portholes visible on its hull, no bridges, and no exposed main vertebral feeders and electronic peripherals usually found on modern warships. It floats silently in a circular floating dock, and every inch of its body is extremely smooth and graceful.

The thirteen masked men were quickly captured by the shocking battleship. They involuntarily walked towards the battleship. The closer they get, the higher their heads rise.

"You can take off your mask now. There is no one here but us. When the masked men walked under the battleship, the soldier took off his mask first, revealing a mature and steady smiling face about forty years old: "Let me introduce myself, I am the captain of this I ghost, the ship's name, named Zhou Wu." It belongs to the 3rd Special Fleet of the Double-headed Eagle of the Space Navy of the Republic of Fiyan, with the rank of lieutenant general. ”

The thirteen masked men glanced at each other and lowered their masks. showed a somewhat restrained face.

Nine men and four women, the oldest has gray temples, and the youngest is over thirty years old. Everyone looks polite and powerless.

"Professor Hu Ge," Lieutenant General Zhou Wu stretched out his hand, shook one of the old men in the lead, and said warmly, "Welcome to your arrival." ”

"This ship is called a ghost?" Professor Hu Ge, who had a gray beard and hair that had fallen so far that only a circle remained, shook hands with Zhou Wu, turned his head to look at the black battleship, and asked.

"Yes. Phantom. Zhou Wu nodded, "The whole Fei Yang is not, it should be said that the only ghost in the entire universe." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Zhanshi lovingly: "Not only does it have more than twice the speed of a high-speed destroyer, but it also has extremely strong anti-radar capabilities. Coupled with the living and energy systems specially designed for this mission, we can go without supplies for three years! ”

"So, we're going to live on this ship for three years?" Professor Hugo looked at the ship and muttered.

Zhou Wu did not answer. The others who arrived with Hugo were silent. The men with each mask in their hands stood silent beneath the levitating black battleship. The atmosphere became unusually solemn for a while.

They are supercomputer and Skynet system experts from different member countries of the Fiji League. At the same time, he is also an engineer of the Feimeng joint Skynet renovation work, and a member of the core working group of the most secret "main god" plan of the Alliance!

More than a month ago, they were originally researchers in their respective national laboratories, professors at colleges, or engaged in some secret work in the service of the military, and they received an order asking them to rush to Heidfeld, the capital of Feiyang, with more than 200 other experts, to participate in the maintenance and upgrading of the Philip's joint Skynet.

This job is not new to them.

As experts in various countries with S-level authority and special allowances and military secret protection, they will rush to Heidfeld, the capital of Feiyang, almost every year from time to time to carry out the same work. The longest has been involved for more than 35 years, and the shortest has been more than three years.

Therefore, after receiving the order, they did not hesitate at all, and rushed to Heidfeld on a spaceship specially dispatched by the military with only a small amount of luggage.

However, it was not until they arrived at their destination that the experts realized that this time the work was a little different from usual.

They are no longer together as they used to be, working in groups and teams. Instead, they are separated, and each person is responsible for a piece of work. In addition, throughout the process of working alone, they must also undergo a variety of questionnaires, individual interviews and assessments.

Since the Skynet upgrade is to transplant the Skynet core control system from the original supercomputer to another new, more powerful supercomputer, it is not surprising. Niu Jing, such an important project, whether it is working alone or inquiring, it is all within the normal scope of confidential work and anti-intermediary work.

It's just that everyone has some complaints about the fact that they can only work through the workbench in the room, but they can't see the face of the new generation of Fengyang computers.

The work is moving fast. In just two weeks, this huge and huge project has come to an end. At this time, hundreds of engineers began to leave one after another, returning to their original units. No one knows who anyone other than themselves is, what work they are responsible for, and whether they have left or not.

Therefore, no one knew that thirteen people were chosen to keep their sons.

The hall was silent.

The thirteen people who were chosen to stay behind were standing in the hall at this moment, looking up at the battleship.

Only they knew that the new generation of Fimeng Skynet core computer was in the black battleship in front of them. Only they understood that the entire Skynet upgrade plan was just a part of a top-secret plan that even the Filipino Commander's Command had no access to, and could not even find a single document in the system.

The real plan, the name is the main god of the wandering of Hosichi!

The Lord God is not the central computer that is so powerful that all scientists are amazed. It is the first time that a human civilization has appeared in the process of tens of thousands of years of loneliness, with an independent personality that cannot be recorded and cannot be replicated, and the thirteen people who remain are even willing to self-exile in order to keep secrets!

No one knows how the remaining thirteen scientists will feel when they finally come into contact with this secret.

Shock, excitement, glory, and unbelievable can be described as mixed feelings!

From that moment on, they will carry out the last part of the entire plan alone, complete the final connection of Skynet one by one, and accompany the Lord God to wander in the vast starry sky within the territory of the Republic of Feiyang, hiding in the void where neither enemies nor allies can find it.

When everyone thought that Fimeng's central computer was a stand-in computer in Heidefeld, people would never have dreamed that the real gods were looking down on the human world in the universe!

In the silence, Professor Hugo muttered to himself, "The day before yesterday, we completed the work of stationing the main god. From that moment on, our Skynet system took on life. ”

"At that time, I was standing on the balcony of the building of the Allied base."

His eyes flickered, as if he had returned to the time he had narrated. His voice echoed through the empty hall, with a prayer-like devotion to a church priest.

"I saw those combat staff officers who didn't know what was going on excitedly gathered in front of the Skynet console, some dancing, some high-fived each other."

"Some say that the battle in the airspace of the jump point is the first time that Skynet has suppressed an opponent with absolute superiority in electronic warfare because of the upgrade of Skynet. Others said that the frequency of artillery attacks from the fortress had increased by thirty percent, and that the enemy had been bombarded by our fortresses. ”

"Some people have told me that the commanders of several fleets have relied on a more efficient command and coordination system in the battle, and have led the fleets to complete tactical coordination faster than the allotted time, and have achieved brilliant results."

"Then I went to the Logistics Department, to the Intelligence Center, and also to the liaison offices of the allies. to evaluate our Skynet. Although it was only one day yesterday, all I heard was cheers one after another, excited discussions, and blushing praises. ”

"I'm not blushing," Hugo turned back and laughed, "This is just the beginning!" ”

Scientists looked at each other. As Professor Hugo's companions, no one can better appreciate the pride and pride in Hugo's words.

"Let's go!" Professor Hugo turned around and impatiently walked up the levitating ladder on the ground of the battleship: "We are thirteen believers and servants of the Lord God. For the sake of what I have heard and seen, let alone three years, even if I have to stay in this battleship for the rest of my life, I am willing! ”

One by one, the scientists stepped onto the battleship levitation ladder.

Zhou Wu went to the end.

Looking at the scholars who were willing to self-exile for their scientific beliefs, their ideals, and their country, his eyes were full of sincere admiration.

"Ready to go!" Zhou Wu finally walked into the spaceship and ordered loudly.

The ship's hatch began to close, and the high dome of the hall was slowly opening.

A bright ray of sunlight poured down, so brilliant in the slowly shrinking crack of the door.

"Goodbye, Marshal!" Zhou Wu said silently.

"They're leaving?" Hastings put down the papers in his hand and looked up from behind his desk.

Admiral McKinley, who walked into the room, closed the door and nodded.

Hastings was silent, and the wheelchair he sat in shifted slightly back with his body's center of gravity, turning in a different direction towards the giant interstellar map on one side of the office wall.

The wheelchair is stopped in front of the interstellar map. The old man's upturned face became a little blurred in the light of the interstellar map with dense points of light and staggered routes. But those deep and wise eyes were still amazingly bright among the shining stars.

"One spaceship, one hundred and fourteen people sailing alone in space. There is no destination and no time to return," the old man let out a long sigh: "This kind of exile is a cruel torture. ”

"I heard that Lieutenant General Zhou Wu used to be your orderly?" McKinley walked over to the old man.

"Yes." Hastings nodded, "Twenty years ago, he was in my office guard. Later, he was admitted to a military school and came to the present step by step. ”

"Maybe it won't be long before the war ends." McKinley smiled slightly.

Hastings stared at the star map for a long time, then turned and drove towards the desk: "How is Li Fo's over there?" ”

"He has already met with Ian Carter, President of the Republic of Lane, and Secretary of Defense Marshall, but there is no further information." McKinley turned, "The people's voice is high, and he should be waiting for the voices of President Zhao Xi and President Chuckner Hill now." ”
