Chapter 091: Expedition!
Zion, a city built using the "broken copper and iron" of the old world, can be described in one word in every way - deformed! The most obvious is the military power. Nine percent of Zion's military strength is mainly defensive, and the rest is the EMP that dies together - of course, this is also the inevitable result of history, and it is also the conspiracy of "mechanical master"!
The structure of Zion's military power is also very simple: battleships, APUs, turrets, and volunteer infantry.
14 warships, 120 APUs, turrets scattered throughout the choke points inside and outside, and 5,000 infantry are the military strength of the Ministry of Tin Security, and the entire capital of Zion's last battle. This turn from defense to offense is also a helpless feat made by the "mechanical master" and the Smith virus forced into the corner.
After Locke's fierce pre-war speech, he began to call for volunteers—those who had volunteered to die for Zion! Originally, people were afraid of death, and it stands to reason that not many people would be willing to join the "expeditionary force", but in fact, on the contrary, all the 5,000 infantry who were called up enthusiastically signed up.
A comfortable environment fosters a group of people who are afraid of death, while a dangerous environment creates a group of people who are going to die. Zion, who has never been at ease, has been told a cruel truth to everyone who is born or liberated from the "mother": machines enslave us and kill us!
After the discussion and decision of the "Final Campaign Operations Department", Ma Fan was the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, leading 10 warships, each ship equipped with 6 APUs, and 20 crew members to expedition to No. 01 Machinery City, with the goal of eliminating the "Machine Emperor" - that is, the decapitation operation of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.
After the orders were issued, a large group of logistics militia jumped up like ants, overhauling the battleship, charging the battleship, reinforcing the armor, carrying ammunition and materials, and so on.
This is not only a battle that will determine the survival of Zion, but also a battle that will determine whether the human flame can continue. So, naturally, it's called the "Final Battle"! Whatever the worst outcome, the war will be over.
Xin Tu returned to the temporary home of Y321-23 and said to Xiao Man: "Let's go, I'll take you to the last meal." Xiao Man pursed his lips and said, "Have they decided?" Of course, Xiaoman will not understand the meaning of "the last". Xin Tu held Xiaoman's cheek, "Are you afraid?" Xiao Man shook his head and said, "Wherever you go, I will go." Xin Tu smiled and pinched her nose, and then took her to "Food for Heaven" again and had a full meal.
Then Xin Tu went back to the Y floor to inform Liang Youman, and he and Xiaoman went straight to the upper berth port area.
Sintu found Trinity, who was also by her side at the moment, helping to check on the Nebuchadnezzar. It can be seen that Neo's mood at this moment is as heavy as yesterday. Xin Tu didn't talk nonsense, took out the appointment order covered with fire paint and handed it to Trinity, and said, "This is the appointment order of Speaker Haman. From now on, I will be the captain of the Nebuchadnezzar! ”
Bang!
Trinity threw away the wrench in her hand, snatched the warrant and looked at it, and when she saw that the last signature was indeed "Harman", she said, "I definitely don't agree." I'm going to go to the Speaker to take back the mandate. Xin Tu stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "The task given to me by Haman is to drive the 'Nebuchadnezzar' into the 01st Machine City and finally destroy the 'Machine Emperor', if you are afraid, you don't have to go." ”
Trinity chuckled, "Can you say that again?" Xin Tu said: "Don't say good things twice." Oh, Neo is going with me, too. Neo decisively refused, saying, "I don't want to be with you!" Xin Tu sighed, took back the mandate from Trinity, and said, "Okay then. I don't force it. But I advise you not to be presumptuous, Neo decides the outcome of this battle. If you have influenced this battle because of your hatred, then I am very honored to have all of Zion with me. ”
"You're not qualified enough!" Trinity snorted.
Watching Trinity and Neo walk towards the Logos spaceship, Xintu touched his nose, "It seems to be the same as the original plot again." Then he said to the rest of the men who were overhauling the battleship: "I want you to carefully inspect every corner of the battleship, not even a single screw." Also, whose first mate is the Nebuchadnezzar now? ”
First mate, second-in-command of the battleship. In the past, Trinity held this position, responsible for supervising the piloting of the battleship and the analysis and selection of routes, organizing the division of labor among the crew, distributing supplies, and part-time combat command in wartime, which is a position with real power and extremely important.
"Sir, the first mate must be appointed by you." A man with a screw said.
"What about Seifer? Tell someone to get him. ”
Xin Tu settled Xiaoman in the No. 12 cabin of the ship, then came to the combat headquarters, found Ma Fan, and bluntly said that the "Nebuchadnezzar" spacecraft needed to add 2 more APUs and several weapons. Thanks to the Decree of Appointment signed by Speaker Haman, Xintu's request was quickly met. These two additional APUs and a bunch of weapons are naturally privately swallowed by Xintu.
Soon, the bald mustachioed Seifer was brought to Xin Tu, and Xin Tu said directly: "Seifer, I want you to be my first mate - this is an order!" With that, Xin Tu pressed the Matrix Sand Eagle on the mandate and stared at Seifer with burning eyes.
As soon as he came back yesterday, Seifer was taken away, and he should have been treated as a "traitor", anyway, his face was blue and purple now, and his left cheek was high and swollen. Seifer's lips twitched for a moment, and then he said with a cold air: "You can't scare me." I'm more afraid of those mechanical squid. I already know that they are overhead, and that I will not survive even if I hide in Zion, so I will not refuse your request. It's all about dying anyway, and it's better to die than to make some sense. ”
Xin Tu looked at him in some surprise, then put away his gun and gave a thumbs up, "Enough for you!" ”
Soon, Liang Youman took Huo Wujiao, Han Yali, and Wu Zitong to the "Nebuchadnezzar" spaceship. Although Wu Zitong was separated from everyone, he knew that there would be a big move in Xintu, so in addition to eating and sleeping, he squatted at the intersection of the A floor and the upper floor, and the stupid method also had a miraculous effect, although he missed the Xintu, he happened to meet Liang Youman.
Seeing Huo Wujiao, Han Yali, and Xin Tu, it doesn't matter, there are not many of them.
After greeting each other, Liang Youman sent Huo Wujiao, Han Yali, and Wu Zitong also left with interest, and said to Xin Tu: "Congratulations, everything has gone well so far, and we are one step behind." Xin Tu said: "It is also the most difficult step. And the others can be a little clever, but this is the last step, which requires real hard work. Heh, the plot of this 'Matrix' is a mess that I messed up. ”
Liang Youman said: "Isn't this the effect you want?" I don't know what the designers and prophets of the 'mother' of Lu Dao feel now, hehe, the face should not be very good-looking. The prophets have even sent men to kill you. Xin Tu said: "By the way, don't connect to the 'auxiliary simulation device' from now on." I suspect that the computers on the ship have been hacked by Smith, and the devil knows what virus he put in it. I'll go back and find someone to tear it down, and we'll take it back to Babel." "In fact, after yesterday's riots, the top brass of Zion has ordered the disabling of all instruments connected to the human body.
"Well, I know it."
At this time, a red-clad policeman came to Xin Tu and asked them to go to the temporary headquarters. Before leaving, Xin Tu suddenly remembered something, so he said to Liang Youman: "By the way, this world is also fake!" If unfortunately we do die, you have to believe that you are not dead, and maybe a miracle will happen. Without waiting for Liang Youman to ask what he was doing, Xin Tu had already left the ship.
Xin Tu's criteria for judging the authenticity of the Zion World Realm are very absurd: whether Huo Wujiao gave birth to alien offspring for him.
And as a result, after so much time, Huo Wujiao's stomach didn't react at all, so Xin Tu judged that the Zion World Realm was fake—anyway, he firmly believed that it was fake!
Xin Tu came to the temporary combat headquarters, and Commander Locke made a simple speech, encouraging and inspiring, and the final battle commander Ma Fan arranged the deployment.
Trinity and Naobi have a sentence that is very right, Xin Tu's simple sentence "Attack No. 01 Machine City and use EMP to eliminate the Machine Emperor" is indeed on paper. The biggest problem is that they don't know anything about Mechanical City 01! For a hundred years, no one dared to approach any mechanical city, let alone the No. 01 mechanical city where the "Machine Master" was located. Therefore, the first step in the most campaign operation is to drive the troops to the vicinity of No. 01 Machinery City, obtain enough information, and then further formulate a combat plan.
The simplest word to evaluate this military operation is: look for death!
After the meeting, everyone went back to their respective ships.
When the time came, the rusty Gate 1 slowly opened, and there was only a dark and deep passage behind the door, as if a gate to hell had been opened.
Then, the sound of the maglev engine "buzzing" echoed under the dome. Under the gaze of a pair of eyes full of tears and expectation, one ship after another loaded with Zion's worst hope sank into the passage......
Office of the Speaker.
Haman asked, "Did they leave?" Commander Locke said, "Yes." But sir, I still think it's too risky......"
Speaker Haman said, "Go and organize the remaining strength." No matter what, we have to fight to the last minute. ”
"Yes, sir!"
After Locke left, Harman sighed heavily, "Whatever the outcome of this battle, this war will end." Human and machine ...... After all, can't we still coexist peacefully? ”
The "mother" world is in the realm.
Just like the darkness, desolation, and ruins of the end of the "Zion World", where torrential rain pours, the light of lightning is the only light between heaven and earth, and the lively and prosperous scene of people and traffic has long been gone.
Two people with black umbrellas came together in the dark, a black old woman and a white old man.
The old white man said, "That's what you want?" The old black lady smoked a cigarette to herself, "Come on, there should have been only one 'anomalous program', but what about the other ninety-nine?" That's your question! The old white man said, "I don't know what to do." It's as if they appeared out of nowhere. I can't parse their existence either. ”
The old black lady suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that there is a more high-end program than you that has invaded the 'mother'?" ”
"Perhaps," said the old white man, "I can't read the memories of those people." ”
"Our 'master' has always felt that the world in which it is located is also a 'mother'. It's so similar to the Smith virus. What do you think? ”
"I'm not sure. I can only be sure that the purpose of the 'Domination' to create me is to make the 'Mother' constantly upgrade and improve. ”
"And what are you going to do?" The old black lady said, "It's not a way to keep raining this time." ”
"Give up this 'evolution' and kill them all! What we have is time. ”
"I'm talking about the Smith virus."
"It's up to you, you created Trinity......"
