Chapter 176 Overwatch
176. Overwatch
Humans and robots. [No pop-up novel website] Carbon-based life and silicon-based life. This topic has been brought up countless times. The world of "Terminator" is like this, and so is this world.
This world has been fond of the development and use of robots since the age of steam. I don’t know if there have been such steampunk-style robots. In the following time, various robots emerged in an endless stream.
However, in 2042, an explosive news appeared! A company called Omnica Group () suddenly announced that the first generation of intelligent machines called "omnic" or omnic has been successfully researched. In various demonstrations, this robot is indefatigable, powerful, accurate in movement, and does not make mistakes.
What's even more tempting is the accompanying omnibus, omniums. This kind of omnic center that can learn by itself and evolve by itself is equipped with various robots for automatic production and equipment, and can independently develop and improve the software and hardware of these omnics in actual use.
It is conceivable that with the addition of this kind of labor force, the economy of the whole world will enter a golden age in an instant. Although Torbjörn Lindholm, a genius scientist from Sweden, repeatedly issued warnings, people who were dazzled by the benefits of omnics did not pay attention to this young dwarf who had just emerged.
A huge amount of money began to be injected into the Omnica Group, and a large number of omnibus centers were also produced and installed around the world. Australia, Siberia, the east and west coasts of the United States, Africa...
However, a shocking scandal appeared! The Omnica Group did not reach the level they described. These omnibus centers began to collapse one after another, and the production capacity declined, far from reaching the goal. This is a money-losing business.
So the Omnica Group was investigated and prosecuted. The huge debt instantly collapsed the company, all the omnic cores were shut down, and a large number of omnics were abandoned.
However, all this is just the beginning, and the omnic center of self-awareness has already appeared, so it is naturally unwilling to accept the fate of being treated as garbage. They began to restart quietly, and established their own control hub in the depths of the ocean. They learn human technology through the Internet, and under the self-learning mechanism, they can develop more advanced technology by themselves.
Soon, when the first batch of fully armed omnics appeared in front of human beings, human beings finally realized that the crisis was coming.
The power of mankind is vulnerable to these endless, tireless, and emotionless armies of omnics. A large number of cities have fallen, and many countries have even secretly reached an agreement with the omnic center to cease fire and surrender and share technology. Humanity has come to extinction the edge of.
But human beings are not helpless. In 2046, at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
An organization called "Overwatch" was quietly formed under the auspices of Gabrielle Aidow, the under-secretary-general of the United Nations. This organization gathered all the top elites of human beings. At the beginning, there were five people——
Super soldiers Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes.
Swedish genius scientist Torbjörn Lindholm.
Egyptian sniper Ana-Emarie.
And the mysterious Chinese warrior, liao (Liao).
Many years later, Gabrielle Aidao described the establishment of "Overwatch" in this way: "We tried to light a candle in the dark to bring a little bit of light. Unexpectedly, this light illuminated the whole world. world."
In ten years, "Watching Pioneer" has gradually expanded, being active in every battlefield, and launching special operations against the omnibus center many times. Finally, in one raid, they managed to destroy the omnic's control hub. The armies of omnics without command began to slow and dull. Victory has finally arrived.
The remaining omnics are still powerful, but quite a few of the intelligent omnics are tired of war. Thus a peace agreement between humans and omnics was reached. Australia was gifted to omnics, where they would build an omnic.
After the war, Jack Morrison became the commander of "Watching Pioneer", and "Watching Pioneer" also began to reorganize into a world-wide peacekeeping organization.
Yet contradictions remain. Gabriel Reyes, the former Overwatch commander, harbors a grudge against Jack Morrison's superiority. Coupled with his consistent unscrupulous and cruel style, he and Jack drifted away. The squad under him is called "Shadowwatch".
The aggressive behavior of "Shadow Watch" has become a massacre in many missions, which also made the conflict between Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes public.
The world is not peaceful.
The Shimada group from Japan, the super gangster empire that has been receiving much attention, is also said to have civil strife. The eldest son of the family, Shimada Hanzo, killed the second son, Shimada Genji, and then ran away from home.
In the East China Sea, a group of mysterious giant omnics also began to appear, destroying coastal cities. South Korea formed the drone force "meka" to resist the omnic invasion.
In Australia, the aborigines who were dissatisfied with their homeland being occupied by omnics formed the "Australian Liberation Front" and began to attack the local omnic center. They succeeded, and the omnic core was destroyed. However, the explosion of the fusion reactor also turned the Australian outback into a spoke area.
The conflict broke out completely in 2070. At the "Overwatch" headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, a violent explosion suddenly occurred, and the entire building was plowed to the ground. No one knows what happened, except that there are rumors that it was caused by an infighting between Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes.
In 2071, the United Nations announced the dissolution of the "Watching Pioneer" organization, and all "Watching Pioneer" activities have been illegal since then. This organization that has existed for nearly 30 years and once saved mankind from danger has finally come to an end.
Jack Morrison goes missing and Gabriel Reyes is badly injured, mutated during treatment, and escapes. Former comrades-in-arms fell apart.
"And now, is it the "Overwatch" world in 2076?" Tang Yu reviewed the plot that he learned in the system space in his mind, and looked at the date on a newspaper full of Korean in his hand. Then throw it to Christina and ask her to help translate. After entering the mission, he and Christina appear on a Korean high-speed train with an unknown destination.
"Can I sit here?" A voice full of vicissitudes came. Before Tang Yu could answer, the man sat across from him unceremoniously.
With a bang, he put his feet on the table and shook comfortably. Tang Yu noticed that the leather boots he was wearing still had spurs. Looking up, this person is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, surrounded by a somewhat worn red cloak, and is equipped with mechanical armor. His left arm is a mechanical hand, flexibly lighting a low-quality cigar, and putting it in his mouth that has not been cleaned for an unknown amount of time and is surrounded by messy stubble.
A typical western cowboy who can no longer be typical, Tang Yu smiled, he knew who this person was.
Taking a deep breath on the cigar, he exhaled the smoke on the no-smoking sign next to him. The man smiled at Tang Yu and said, "I am, McCree." (To be continued.)
