Chapter 319: The Seven Most Powerful Robots in the World
"I've spent an afternoon in the library looking through electronic newspaper clippings, and there are probably two things that have to do with the goals of our mission."
At dinner, the three of them found a sushi restaurant in a relatively remote location.
"Where's Xiaoqi?"
After waking up, Sadako Yamamura realized that there was one person missing from the team. Regarding her whereabouts, Su Jing decided that it was better not to talk too seriously.
"I'm going to be alone to relax, let her have some space for herself."
He shrugged his shoulders seemingly indifferently.
Back in Japan, Sadako Yamamura finally found a sense of familiarity and began to spice the sauce a little jerky. Taking advantage of this time, Lu Mengyao took out her tablet and began to show Su Jing the information she had collected after doing her homework.
"Chronologically, the first is a case of robot homicide eight years ago. It is also the only case that has been recorded so far. An artificial intelligence robot, codenamed 'Bulow 1589', has not yet been ascertained. This incident caused a huge shock in society at the time, and as the only self-conscious killer robot to date, Blow 1589 is still imprisoned in an artificial intelligence camp in Germany. β
The magician picked up a piece of sushi with his chopsticks, lightly smeared a trace of ground wasabi, and threw it whole into his mouth. She always used to half-cover her mouth with her hands when eating, and this action made Su Jing feel inexplicably kind.
"The second thing...... It was the 39th Central Asian conflict a few years ago. β
In this world, there is a regime that is very similar to the United States on the earth, and it is located in North America, the world's largest power in the world, the United States of Thrace. And this is the strongest regime on the planet. A few years ago, a war was waged against the Kingdom of Persia in Central Asia in the name of justice.
A dozen years ago, a totalitarian dictator in the Kingdom of Persia came to power. The ruler, who claimed to be a descendant of an ancient royal family, was named Darius XIV. Darius XIV was ambitious and tough-armed. Under his rule, the Persian kingdom quickly became the leading military power in East Asia and began to expand aggressively. Of all the forces of this military nation, Darius XIV's robot corps shines the brightest.
Under these circumstances, the United States of Thrace, which considered itself to be the righteous ruler of the world, sensed the threat of the Persian kingdom's robot army, and proposed at the United Nations meeting the adoption of an international treaty "prohibiting the mass production of combat robots", which was quickly adopted in the face of the powerful political power of the United Thracian States.
President Alexander then claims that the Persian Kingdom has violated this treaty, and that the Persian Kingdom secretly retains a large number of high-performance combat robots. In response to this. The United Nations organized an investigation team composed of world-renowned robot scientists to enter the Persian Kingdom for an investigation, known as the "Bora Investigation Mission".
The mission was in a difficult situation, as no traces of mass production of combat robots had been found in the Persian Kingdom, and the legendary genius scientist "Dr. Gao Zhi", who designed combat robots for Darius XIV, was not found. However, in the final stages of the investigation, investigators found a huge number of strange robot wreckage under a mosque.
Immediately after the mission returned, President Alexander of the United Thracian States used the remains of these robots as evidence to demand military sanctions against the Persian kingdom and the removal of the dictatorship Darius XIV. When the war between the United Thracian States and the Kingdom of Persia began, both sides used a great deal of military force to fight. And to ensure victory in the battle. President Alexander asked the United Nations to deploy the world's most advanced robots to suppress the Persian Kingdom's fighting machine corps.
Of the seven robots that brought together the most cutting-edge technology from all over the world, six were conscripted into the war, with only Australia's pacifist Epslang refusing to fight, and Japan's Astro Boy not participating in the frontal battle. Rather, he appeared in the Kingdom of Persia as an ambassador of peace.
Five of the world's most advanced robots swept through the Persian kingdom's fighting machine forces in one thousand speeds, and the Persian kingdom was quickly defeated, and the regime of Darius XIV fell. He himself was imprisoned in the Black Hill prison in Thrace, where he remains to this day.
The post-war Kingdom of Persia was reorganized into the Republic of Persia under the operation of the United Nations. The newly inaugurated government is still working to rebuild the country, and the people of the entire country have not yet recovered from the wounds of war.
ββ¦β¦ And our task is to ......" Su Jing listened attentively.
"Protect these seven robots. Don't let them be destroyed by a force of any kind...... The length of time is two months. Lu Mengyao flipped through the tablet in her hand, "And one of them, Mont Bai Lang from Switzerland, has ...... 'suddenly malfunctioned' in the wildfire, and was destroyed by some kind of force that we still don't know the true face." β
None of the people in this world realm had been in contact with each other beforehand, and the lack of information made the two of them feel very troubled.
"So have you found out the specific identities of these seven robots?"
"In addition to the identity of one is classified, the other six robots are all well-known public figures." The magician turned the tablet to Su Jing's side, and the seven documents were displayed on the desktop.
"The Swiss Forestry Agency's Mont BΓ©lant has crashed." The magician dragged the document aside with his fingers, "And according to the investigation on the data, this guy is at least five stars." In the Persian War, one person destroyed thousands of combat robots, and the rest will only be stronger than it......"
"Another piece of information that cannot be found seems to be a fighting machine developed by the British military, the former adjutant of the commander-in-chief of the British army. The identity remains a secret to this day. However, it should have not been shot for several years, and judging from the information collected so far, it disappeared after the 39th Central Asian conflict, and I personally think that it may have been hidden in the snow. β
Another document is dragged away.
Next up is the famous martial arts superstar, the 'King of Martial Arts' Brando of Turkey in Europe. He can also be seen in entertainment magazines, a legendary robot fighter who has won 936 mecha fights in a row. β
It looks like a cropped picture from a martial arts magazine, a gentle man with a round face.
"Then there is the Greek 'god of fighting' Iragu martyr who is on the same level as him. The two have failed to win or lose four battles. Their respective admirers refer to their idols as true champions of the world......"
The person in this photo looks relatively cold and hard, with a slightly hooked nose, a somewhat gloomy look, and a short flat head with a military temperament.
"Has the robots of this world been studied to this extent...... The degree of anthropomorphism has completely crossed the 'uncanny valley', and it is almost exactly the same as that of humans, and it is impossible to distinguish the difference between humans and machines just by looking at the photos. Sadako Yamamura leaned her head over and read the information on her tablet, "I wonder if the mind of the robot reads differently from a human...... Judging from the robots we have encountered so far, there are no mental fluctuations in them, or ...... Not the mental fluctuations I can read. β
"There will be opportunities soon." The Magician continued to scroll down.
Then there was an Interpol investigator, whose name was not found for the time being. However, it seems to be a highly regarded figure in the international police, and its creator is one of our targets, Dr. Herbert, who invented Zero Alloy. According to some sources, this inquisitor is one of the few robots whose entire body is made of this new alloy. β
Next document. When the photo appeared, even Su Jing couldn't help but whistle. The photo shows a handsome and gentle young man with long hair.
ββ¦β¦ Australia's Epslang, created by Ronald. Newton. Dr. Howard, inventor of the 'photon force'. Equipped with a photonic power engine, Epslang should be the strongest robot in the world in terms of individual strength alone, but because of its cowardice in refusing to participate in the war, the reputation is not very high. He is now committed to charity work in Australia to help orphans. β
In the last folder, the photo shows a cute boy with short hair about ten years old, who looks harmless to humans and animals, wearing ordinary Japanese school clothes. The big round head looks innocent, and in the photo, he is waving in the direction of the photographer, and he is wearing a wreath around his neck.
"Astro Boy in Japan. 'Ambassador of Peace' after the end of the East Asian conflict. Created by Dr. Tenma, a former minister of science and technology in Japan and a great master in the field of artificial intelligence, it is said to have the most perfect and most successful intelligent design that simulates humans to date. Nuclear-powered engine with a standard output of 100,000 hp. It is also the one that I evaluated that among the seven robots, the 'protagonist power' is the strongest, and the one with the greatest probability of surviving to the fullest. β
The two of them stared at the cute boy in the photo at the same time, looking no different from any boy of that age. Childhood memories echoed, and then their thoughts were interrupted by Sadako Yamamura.
"If you don't eat it, the fish will not be fresh."
"......" Su Jing originally wanted to say something, but was interrupted like this and suddenly forgot his train of thought. He shrugged his shoulders, opened his mouth, and took the sushi from Sadako Yamamura.
"So, do you remember what this cartoon is about?"
"It's long forgotten."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ So, is the next step to look at Astro Boy for personal protection, or to take the initiative to pursue this force of unknown origin? If you choose the second one, then I'll book a flight to Switzerland right now, and I'll be there as soon as tomorrow morning. β
"Don't be in such a hurry, this task has just begun." Su Jing put down the chopsticks and thought for two seconds, "Divide the troops into two ways, I'll go to Switzerland, and you and Xiao Zhenzi will visit Dr. Chashui." β
"At least we need to figure out one thing, the guy who can defeat the seven strongest robots on the planet...... What the hell is it, or who makes such a powerful thing. (To be continued......)
