Chapter 1489 The Great Enemy Is Present

1489、The Great Enemy Is Present

12,000 meters underground, Zion.

"Detect the position of the mechanical squid again!" Zion Defense Commander Locke said loudly.

"The robot has used a total of five giant drilling rigs! The nearest one is currently 318 meters away from the airport!!" A soldier replied immediately.

"How long do we have?" Locke asked.

"Up to 70 minutes!" replied the soldier.

"What about the hovercraft unit?"

"There are 121 spaceships that have assembled, and the robot's offensive is very fierce. Except for one spaceship that has not yet assembled, the remaining spaceships are already here..." A staff officer said with a heavy heart.

Locke's face was a little gloomy, "In other words, have we lost more than 80 spaceships..."

"Yes, sir, the mechanical squids are attacking almost every hovering spaceship they can see, and the scope of our spaceship troops' activities on the ground is getting smaller and smaller." The staff officer replied.

"Every crew member of the hovercraft is a one-in-a-million elite, and those who can serve as captains are all highly respected and capable geniuses...but now...almost half of them have been lost..." Locke sat quietly, Folding his hands under his chin, he closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment.

"Which one is the spaceship that hasn't assembled yet?" Locke asked suddenly.

"It's...Murphys' Nebuchadnezzar, they are rushing back through the No. 7 secret passage, and they are being hunted down by a group of mechanical squid." The communications soldier replied.

A trace of anger appeared on Locke's face. He slammed his fist on the table and growled, "This lawless bastard!! Where's Tang Yu? Is there any news about Tang Yu?"

"Now our communication with Nebuchadnezzar has been interrupted, and their communication antenna should have been damaged. But in the last communication, Murphys said that Tang Yu went to Machine City alone." The communication soldier replied.

"Machine City?" Locke was a little moved, "Does he want to commit suicide? Or does he want to surrender? No...impossible, robots will not accept this form of surrender...so what does he mean? Is he so sure about Zion? Can't hold it?"

Locke looked out through the window of the command center, and now Zion has changed greatly. Around the rock wall, there are countless cables stretching out like dense spider webs.

These cables connect a large number of turrets. This kind of turret looks very simple, with wires wrapped around the two rails, various parts are exposed, and there are several boxes of metal bullets beside it.

Electromagnetic coil rail gun, this is the weapon blueprint that Tang Yu brought before. The principle of this weapon is actually not too difficult, as long as it can meet the energy supply. The most important thing is that the ammunition of this electromagnetic coil railgun only needs metal warheads, and it does not need to suppress the shells to make gunpowder like gunpowder weapons, so the supply of ammunition is not a problem at all.

Now these electromagnetic guns are densely installed in every area with a good shooting area inside Zion. Because there is no time to plan and coordinate the wiring, most of the cables are laid on the ground randomly. This is a hidden danger, but there is no better way. . And in various parts of Zion, there are already more than 2,000 electromagnetic guns in full swing! !

In terms of energy, based on the two nuclear fusion reactors built for them before Tang Yu left, the Zion Council organized the largest manpower and material resources to build another reactor. The three nuclear fusion reactors provided Zion with an extremely large energy supply. Even speaking, these three nuclear fusion reactors have doubled the energy supply of Zion, which only relied on geothermal energy before! !

With the abundant energy supply, Zion's defense force is also rare. In addition to electromagnetic guns, they also manufactured more than a hundred laser cannons, which were installed in very critical places inside Zion to provide Protection, such as cable dense areas, or command centers, etc.

Inside Zion, some people wearing very simple mechanized exoskeletons can still be seen busy around these turrets. The mechanized exoskeleton they use is very simple and has no protective ability at all, but it can help users lift hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects under the action of the engine. The heavy electromagnetic gun can be carried away by one person, and then accurately installed On the turret base, no construction machinery is needed, which is an important reason why Zion can install so many turrets in a short period of time.

All of this is Tang Yu's gift. Locke said to himself in his heart that unlike Murphys, who believed in the savior's prophecy, Locke, who has always been adhering to realism, believed in his eyes more. And the things Tang Yu put in front of him were reality! ! Now for Locke, Tang Yu is really like a god! !

But now, this god has turned his back on them and headed to Machine City alone...why? Locke couldn't understand how powerful Tang Yu's ability to control the machine was. Locke naturally understood that he was very sure that as long as Tang Yu was here, the invasion of the mechanical squid this time would not be a problem at all! !

But... Locke sighed, Zion has been exposed, and the next thing is the continuous offensive of robots. After defending the mechanical squid's attack this time, what about the next one? This time there are 250,000 mechanical squids, how many will be next time? And, what if another, more powerful machine unit comes next time?

After meeting Tang Yu, Locke truly realized how naive and ignorant he was before, including himself, including the Zion Council. Even fantasizing that Zion, with a population of less than 1 million, can be used to fight against the robot kingdom that has already occupied the entire earth?

250,000 mechanical squids have already made Zion feel like it is facing doomsday, but how many troops does the robot have? Locke now thinks carefully, how many troops does the robot country that can fight against all human beings have? The most conservative estimate is that it can be calculated in tens of millions! Even... hundreds of millions...

So, Tang Yu left a bomb in Zion, and then surrendered to the robot? Or is he, as he says, helping Zion languish, lingering, stalling for time, and then counting on him to settle the war? No matter what, since the choice has been made, let's go all the way to the dark! ! Ants can still steal their lives, and dogs can jump over walls in a hurry, let alone us human beings with flesh and blood! ! Locke thought, his eyes gradually firmed up.

At this time, a communications soldier came up and said, "Sir, the speaker is waiting for you at the temple. Before the battle begins, the council wishes to confirm the combat situation and plan with you for the last time."

Locke nodded, turned and walked towards the elevator.

Moments later, the Council of Zion. On the high platform of the parliament, the speaker sat in the middle, and five councilors sat on both sides, including the former councilor Haman. These eleven people are the Supreme Council of Zion and the highest leadership of Zion.

"Your Excellency Speaker, Members." Locke bowed to the stage.

"I received the latest announcement that the robot forward will arrive within an hour. I want to know, Zion, are you ready?" The speaker asked bluntly.

Locke shook his head and said: "No, we can never say that we are ready. Because our enemies are far stronger than us!"
