Earth, Allied Command.

The huge round conference room was overcrowded, and the representatives of various countries stationed at the headquarters of the Allied Forces were not pulled, and the most central one was Nie Jianrong, a Chinese general representing the three major space powers; Five-star Admiral Henry of the U.S. Space Army? Harry? Arnold; And Marshal Frosilov of Russia.

Although democracy and equality have been propagated throughout the world, class has not disappeared for a day since the birth of mankind, and the representatives of other countries attending the meeting are not qualified to sit side by side with these three bigwigs, but can only sit behind a certain bigwig according to their respective national strengths.

The number of people sitting behind the three bigwigs also indirectly indicates their potential strength.

To put it simply, America's allies sat behind Admiral Arnold, Russia's partners sat behind Marshal Frossilov, and behind General Nie, naturally Chinese friends...... Although it is actually the country's strength that is weak and has to rely on the big countries to seek protection, at least on the surface, everyone is very face-saving to say so.

The design of the round conference room is similar to that of an arena, with the lowest center and a stepped rise around the perimeter, maximizing the use of space without suggesting some kind of status due to the orientation and position of the seats.

There was no second murmur in the conference room where hundreds of people were sitting upright, except for the sound of breathing, and everyone's eyes were focused on the translucent robot on the podium in the middle of the conference room.

The reason why it appears translucent is because the machine is fundamentally a holographic projection.

The projection first set his eyes on Nie Jianrong: "Can you start?" "The supreme command of the allied forces implements a rotation system, and China, the United States and Russia take turns to be the banker, but the first contact of the Pioneer Four is China, and China's military strength is the strongest, and the supreme command has been rotated in name, but in fact it has always been in the hands of the Chinese.

It's just that the Chinese side can't directly command the armies of the two countries beyond the representatives of the United States and Russia, and the United States and Russia are more focused on practical benefits and do not care much about the nominal supreme power.

It's just that when China formally put forward its operational plan, the representatives of the two countries could not veto it, and at most they could win a relatively less dangerous task for themselves.

Old General Nie coughed lightly: "It's okay." He seemed to be inadvertently glancing at Vrosilov, who should be on duty this month.

Frosilov drooped his eyelids and turned his fingers expressionlessly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

"Hello everyone, I'm Pioneer Four." The robot introduced himself like this, "I believe that none of you here do not know my origin, don't be surprised, my current appearance is made with reference to the design of human robots, just to facilitate communication with you, in fact, I don't have such a body." ”

The Vanguard IV did not change its true colors, but quickly returned to the topic: "Today's meeting was proposed by me to inform the allies of the latest movements of the enemy forces......"

There was a buzz in the conference room, Nie Jianrong glanced at Frossilov, and seeing that he didn't react, he simply overstepped his instructions and struck the wooden hammer hard: "Quiet!" He glanced at Frossilov with a deep meaning, since you took the initiative to give up, then I will do it.

General Arnold's expression did not change in the slightest, but he sighed helplessly in his heart, Vrossilov was so disappointed that he was so reckless at this time, didn't he give up the initiative?

Nie Jianrong asked in great surprise, "Pioneer Fourth, the enemy you are talking about...... Referring to the Exoskeleton Man? ”

"Of course." Pioneer Four did not notice the undercurrent between the three giants in the slightest, and said as a matter of course.

"But as far as I know, there is no fleet of Exoskeletons in the solar system? And this news has also been confirmed by your intelligent machines. ”

"No, in fact, the Outer Skeleton Man is still entrenched in the far corner of the outer solar system, but the scope that humans can effectively control is still within the asteroid belt, even in the middle solar system, and it is only partially controlled. The number of Outer Skeletons entrenched in the Oort Cloud is very small, and with the current strength of the human race, they are fully capable of dealing with these remnant fleets, so they are not in my focus. Pioneer Four said on a case-by-case basis.

Hearing Pioneer Fourth say this, almost all of them invariably showed a questioning look on their faces, Nie Jianrong frowned, and just wanted to say something, but General Arnold took the lead and asked in stiff Chinese: "So, who is the enemy that Your Excellency Pioneer Fourth is talking about?" ”

"Of course they're the Outer Skeletons, you don't think they'll fly to the solar system with that little bit of force, do you?" The projection's mechanical face showed an unbearable expression, and he said in standard American English, "I must say, your Chinese is really bad, let's communicate in English." ”

"Your joke isn't funny at all." Arnold laughed, "Chinese is the most difficult language for human beings to learn, and I don't have the same language talent as you. ”

can achieve such a high position as a five-star general, Arnold's scheming is not ordinarily deep, even if he is ridiculed in public, he will not show a trace of unhappiness.

Having said that, in essence, Pioneer Four is nothing more than a robot with a level of skill that far surpasses that of humans, and a rectum...... No, what's the point of comparing it to a robot with a one-line thinking loop?

"I accept your compliment." Vanguard Four bowed to Arnold and said, "To get back to the point, the strength of the Outer Bone People is much stronger than you think, the Outer Bone People who were defeated by us before are only a small part of the huge Outer Bone People race, in the words of you earthlings, they are the pawns of the entire Outer Bone People Race, they are one of the seventeen forces that came out of the Outer Bone People Race, and they are numbered four within our wisdom machine. ”

No wonder it was called Pioneer Four, it turned out that the Outer Skeleton Man he followed was ranked fourth...... Many people take it for granted in their minds.

Pioneer Four continued to explain without pause: "I have been following this group of Exoskeletons who have arrived in the solar system, and their last stop before reaching the solar system is Laland21185 in the constellation Ursa Major, and according to the information I have just received, another larger group of Exoskeletons followed by Pioneer Nine has arrived at Wolf359, which is seven .8 light-years away from Earth; In addition, Pioneer 2 will also reach Sirius, which is 8.6 light-years away from the solar system, in the near future...... According to our reliable speculation, the news of the planet Earth has been passed on to the subsequent Exoskeleton races by the Outer Bone People who arrived in advance, and these two Outer Bone People are likely to fly to the solar system next! ”
