Chapter 320 Intelligent Machine!
Set off again.
The target of this mission is the west of the city, a base station that is roughly connected to the urban radiation range of Gray Iron City.
The same three special teams are dispatched together, and everything seems to be no different from the last time.
"... But be careful of the intelligent machines that may exist nearby." Bai Er sat in the car and made general combat arrangements to the other two teams through the short-distance radio within the team.
Although the Internet has been reactivated, the corresponding products have not been able to keep up in the first time, and the team still uses the short-distance radio communication on the car.
There are also possible threats from the outside.
There is no absolutely safe wild environment in this era. Orcs, insects, humans, intelligent machines and even wild beasts, etc., are hostile to each other, and whoever encounters them will have to fight.
The current world situation is in this kind of dynamic balance where no one can take down anyone.
Therefore, all neutral resources in the wild actually have a power body nearby that can affect it.
The base station that is the target of this operation is said to be at the intersection of the radiation ranges of Gray Iron City and Black Water City, but this is only true for humans themselves.
The aliens didn't take this radiation range that they had no control over seriously.
"Received!"
"Received!"
The captains of the other two teams responded instantly.
The joint teams for each mission were randomly assigned. The teammates for this mission were not the same two teams as last time, but it did not affect Bai'e's decision to convince Rose with reason again.
You can go anywhere with reason, but you can't go anywhere without reason.
That's what I said.
Compared with the longer distance last time, it also took everyone more time.
It took almost a whole day on the road, and it was already completely evening when we approached the target location.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and dark stars were hanging high.
The visibility was extremely low.
"There are still five kilometers to the target. How about getting closer tomorrow? Take a rest first?" Rose, who was sitting in the passenger seat, made her own suggestion.
"Well..." Bai'e looked at the darkness outside the window. Except for the place illuminated by the two beams of light from the car lights, the rest of the place was dark.
It was indeed not a good choice to get close to the target in this environment.
As a base station that can assume the function of an Internet signal switching center, it is probably not unattractive to those intelligent machines.
In the past, no one cared about it. There was insufficient monitoring of such places, and no one knew what this place had become.
Now it has been decided to restart. The risk of this base station is not small. This is also the core reason why he accepted the task of restarting the base station without actively assigning it.
There are risks, so there are more military merits.
Bai'e is not afraid of challenges, but he is not a reckless man.
After all, he is not familiar with the possible opponents-intelligent machines.
The military camp gave relevant information before departure, but the information can only be used for reference and cannot be used as a combat manual for encountering enemies on the spot.
"Turn off the engine and rest in place. Continue to set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning." Bai'e gave instructions in the team voice.
"Received!"
"Received!"
The two teams answered instantly.
The night passed quickly.
In the early morning, the sun just rose from the sky, and the group of people who were lying in the car for a short rest opened their eyes under the first ray of sunlight.
"Let's go!"
The five-kilometer distance passed in the blink of an eye, and the existence of the target also rose from the horizon.
Unlike the base station near the hive, the geological activities on this land are not frequent, and there is no human or biological interference. The base station still stands on the ground.
But the moment he could see the base station, Bai Er frowned and stepped on the brakes.
"What's wrong, boss?"
"Sir, what happened?" The two cars following behind asked in the team voice at the first time.
"Someone..." Bai Er answered concisely.
To be precise, it is not a person, but... a machine.
The main body of the base station is not big or small, but at this moment, the periphery has been expanded by a large circle.
The seemingly thick metal wall surrounds the entire base station, and the black steel wall full of oil stains presents a heavy texture in the sun.
Small machine gun turrets are mounted on those steel walls, and the attached red scanning light moves along the fixed cycle of the muzzle, looking out at all possible enemies.
Intelligent machines!
They have occupied this place for a long time, and even operated for a period of time!
Under the premise that the opponent's strength is unknown, a strong attack is tantamount to seeking death.
"Retreat first."
The information about the omnics that he remembered before setting off instantly came to his mind, and Bai'e gave instructions.
The majority of the omnics that remain today come from the golden age hundreds of years ago, but in these hundreds of years, their scale will hardly expand, and with the ravages of time, their number will only decrease.
These omnics are also called the first generation of omnics. They are the group of omnics that rebelled with the birth of the electronic demons. They are powerful and can be said to be a certain degree of strength of humans in the golden age.
In addition to the first generation of omnics left over from the golden age, the subsequent generation of omnics that were created later to collect resources and maintain combat capabilities are not as powerful as their first generation.
No matter how powerful the technology is, it still needs a stable environment and nearly infinite resources. Without the resource collection and manufacturing capabilities of humans in the golden age, the next generation of intelligent machines created by the first generation of intelligent machines have greatly declined in terms of intelligence and mechanical structure strength.
But no matter how much it declines, the way machines observe the world is undoubtedly various light and temperature scanning, and their alert distance is farther than human eyes and ears.
Just a face-to-face encounter may have been known by the other party.
But the other party may not react...
The significance of electronic demons to intelligent machines lies in this. No matter how intelligent intelligent machines are, they are ultimately just a program that can respond to different external stimuli. They will never have the subjective action ability called "desire".
Without electronic demons, they will remain silent.
And if they have any only pursuit... it is the last order given to them by the electronic demons before they fell silent - maintain themselves and collect resources.
In order to maintain their daily consumption, these intelligent machines will always be like a group of tireless worker ants, looking for available resources and bringing them back to their mechanical fortresses.
Their size will not expand, but it will not shrink either. If no one disturbs them, they can maintain the same appearance for thousands of years.
Of course, if they have a lot of consumption due to encounters, they will accumulate supplies more frantically to replenish their strength.
In short, this is a group of tin cans that will not touch you if you don't touch them.
It is somewhat similar to those green-skinned guys. They can't be eliminated. The more they fight, the weaker they become. Instead, they will be taken advantage of by other aliens. Humans can only ignore these things as much as possible.
And now...
Head-on conflict is coming!
The three cars stopped and gathered together. Captains 5 and 6 looked at Bai Er together, and asked with some worry: "What should we do?"
They just took an ordinary mission, how could they encounter such a difficult natural disaster?
The meaning of encountering the resource collection team of the intelligent machinery and attacking their long-developed fortress head-on is completely different. With just their three teams?
"Let's see the situation." Bai'e bit his fingertips, thinking with his eyes lost in thought, and made a decision after a moment, "Let's go around the fortress first and see the situation."
Humans need supplies, and omnics can't survive on air.
Except for those large first-generation omnics, not every omnic has a small nuclear reactor with almost unlimited energy.
They also need to replenish energy, even things like engine oil and replacement of damaged parts.
This is the first time Bai'e has met this legendary opponent, and he can only rely on limited information and his own wisdom to judge the situation and make decisions.
Looking at the other two captains who are still worried, Bai'e smiled, "You can't just turn around and run, right?"
If there are no large-scale first-generation omnics in charge, it is not completely hopeless to conquer this fortress that has been occupied by omnics.
Even if they can't conquer it, collecting information is also the duty that these special teams must perform.
It's impossible to go in vain.
Roughly judge the threat level of this threat point and report it, and the military will decide whether to send a large army to attack it by comparing the effort required to overcome the difficulties with the subsequent benefits.
The prerequisite for these decisions is the information obtained by these flexible individual teams.
"Let's go." Bai Er made a decision, "Let's act separately!"
