Chapter 268 The only Monopoly! This Is the Brightest Moment of Human Civilization
Chapter 268 The only monopoly! This is the brightest path for human civilization!
"What...what is going on?!"
Robert asked hurriedly. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"The navigator failed and the ship cannot start the jump escape."
"Our shipborne AI is in shutdown and cannot be activated."
"Report to the captain, our core network is being invaded!"
The continuous reports made Robert completely confused. This series of changes made him a little helpless.
The core network was invaded and cracked by someone. This shouldn't be the case!
You know, the network system of the Front Rebel Army was built at a huge cost and is almost the same level as the UNSC.
But their network was invaded by the enemy after just one encounter. This is not something that the UNSC idiots can do.
'Is there an insider supporting them? ! '
Robert Watts's expression suddenly became solemn. He thought of the possibility of an insider at the first time.
The attack on the Saigudu base has not been resolved yet, and a fleet has appeared here. He really can't believe that no one is secretly sabotaging.
No matter how strong the fortress is, it is often breached from the inside, but Robert now has no intention to analyze who the insider is.
Seeing that his own network data is being slowly stolen by the enemy as time goes by, Robert immediately issued an order:
"Notify and order the fleet departments of each department to prepare for fighting inside the ship."
Since they have been surrounded and there is no way to escape, they might as well fight the other side head-on.
As the former senior commander of the UNSC and the current leader of the Front Rebel Army, Robert has fought many decent tough battles.
Like this, those who start interference right away, give shielding control first, and then upload the invasion program are mostly interested in some valuable "items" on them.
Maybe it's a person, or maybe it's an object.
And Robert estimates that the other party is mostly eyeing their Nova-class nuclear bomb!
"Yes!"
As soon as the voice fell, the communicator immediately operated and passed the combat order to the rebels in various units.
At the same time, the observers in the ship also saw the Sojourner Dreadnought not far away through the reconnaissance device, and it actually began to release a burst of energy beams.
The faint blue glare seemed to light up this dark star field. This is another attack mode of the Dreadnought, hard light strike.
This attack method is somewhat similar to the light spear, but under the aiming of the pioneer's unique device, the accuracy of the hard light strike is quite high, and it can achieve the real meaning of "cannonballs hitting mosquitoes"!
Swish——!
After the blue beam was instantly bombarded, the beam avoided the anti-aircraft guns of the rebel warships on the front line with an extremely abstract twisted trajectory and hit the tail engine of the ship.
From the generation of the beam to the firing, and then to the hit, the whole process took less than three seconds. The rebel ships were completely helpless in the face of this advanced hard light strike.
After all, they don't even have the most basic energy shield technology, and they are completely unable to intercept the bombardment of the Sojourner Dreadnought.
Bang!
At this moment, the rebel fleet also began to attack the Universal Corporation.
Electromagnetic main guns and missile nests of various models were all poured out, using whatever they had, even the most traditional cannons.
In fact, in a way, interstellar naval battles are relatively "fair" duels.
Whoever has a more powerful gun has a greater chance of winning.
Although this kind of duel where you shoot me and I shoot you back has no technical content, it is better because the experience of krypton gold and cheating players is very good.
In this case, there is no such thing as a counterattack plot where the weak defeats the strong. The plot of a non-African space junkman smashing a big boss with full-level equipment will not be staged in reality.
For example, the current Universal Corporation can smash the flagship engine of the front rebels with one shot, and turning on a magnetic field interference can prevent the rebels' fire control system from locking on the target.
This is the unique pleasure that only cheating players can have, beating ordinary players!
On this side, after realizing that their fire control could not lock onto the Sojourner Dreadnought, the rebels immediately changed their target and launched an attack on the Paris-class frigate.
But what they didn't expect was that this concentrated fire output also failed.
It turned out that the fleet of the Universal Corporation had already prepared a formation to deal with it, and also turned on the energy shield with maximum power.
The full attack and full defense attributes made the rebels on the opposite line sweat profusely.
They were shocked to find that their artillery volleys did not "hit" at all, and the fleet of the giant enterprise did not suffer any damage or effective attack!
At this moment, no matter how stupid the rebels were, they should know that this fleet was of top-notch standards from weapon systems to defense systems.
This time, I'm afraid that the UNSC spent a lot of money specifically to wipe out their rebels.
Robert Watts, standing in front of the command desk, has realized that the insider this time is likely to be their ship-borne AI.
After all, it is impossible for a normal person to make the fire control and network defense systems completely ineffective in such a short time. Only AI can do it!
But if this happens, they will be in trouble.
Even their own ship-borne AI has surrendered to the enemy, so they are trapped.
Before Robert could continue to make corresponding adjustments, a holographic image of AI Loki suddenly appeared in front of his console.
Obviously, the giant company's data intrusion has been completed and AI Loki's information can be transmitted here.
At this time, AI Loki looked around, then locked on Robert Watts, the leader of the rebels, and said:
"Everyone, it's not too late to surrender now, otherwise it will only increase casualties."
AI Loki's tone made the rebels present very unhappy. When everyone was furious, Robert suppressed his anger and asked Loki:
"Who are you, and whose fleet are you from?"
Robert still didn't quite believe that the opponent would be a UNSC force. He knew very well that with the UNSC's current technological level, it would be impossible to build such a warship and weapon system.
However, in the face of Robert's questions, AI Loki ignored him. It had only one attitude: Surrender or not, give him a happy word!
This actually put Robert off guard. He had never seen such a sharp and decisive AI.
"No, we will never surrender easily, don't try to fool us!"
After thinking for a moment, Robert still chose to refuse.
The other rebels can surrender, but he, the rebel leader, cannot. If the opponent is really the UNSC organization, then Robert will only die.
"learn."
After AI Loki finished speaking, he directly dissipated the holographic image without any advice, leaving only those two cold words.
This unconventional reply made Robert stunned. At the same time, the radar observer also spoke urgently and reminded:
"Report to the captain that a large number of enemy carrier-based aircraft are found approaching us!"
While alerting Robert to the enemy attack, the observers also marked thousands of red dots on the holographic center console, approaching their location.
Immediately afterwards, the holographic image also showed the appearance of the carrier-based aircraft of the world's giant company. Hundreds of Storm Eagle gunships and Skyhawk shuttles, as well as dense AI drones, were quickly attacking.
The protective properties of these ship-based troops have been transformed by engineers from giant companies and have stronger hardness and defensive properties.
Through the holographic screen and portholes, Robert could already see the hundreds of gunboats approaching, and they would collide with their ships in less than five minutes.
Before Robert could give the order to fire, the fleet's gunners had already activated the close-range defense guns.
In an instant, a large number of artillery fire came out at a rapid rate, and the tremors of the shelling were transmitted to the interior of the cabin, making Robert feel that his heartbeat and the sound of the artillery were on the same frequency.
The overwhelming barrage of light points outside the portholes flew towards the Storm Eagle gunboat, but what was unexpected was that the close-range defense artillery of the Front rebels had no effect at all.
I don’t know if the shipboard AI modified the aiming system, but a large number of shells were fired, but none of them hit the enemy gunboat.
Soon, after getting close to the rebels' flagship, the leading Storm Eagle gunboat set up its hard-light main gun and fired at the rebels' hull.
With the bombardment of the hard light beam, the outer armor of the rebel cruiser was instantly melted, and a huge hole was punched out!
This gives the soldiers of giant companies the opportunity to join gangs and fight.
At this moment, the angry Robert made an immediate decision and shouted to the correspondent: "Notify the carrier-based aircraft unit to cover the transfer of the Nova nuclear bomb to the surface base."
"The remaining carrier-based aircraft must escort the nuclear bomb to the base safely at all costs."
"In addition, let me inform all the troops that even if they die together with the fleet on the opposite side, they must not let the nuclear bomb fall into their hands!"
Speaking of the most valuable and strategic item of the Front rebels, it must be the nova nuclear bomb weapon.
It is no exaggeration to say that this weapon is a key item for the survival and development of the rebels. Losing it means that the UNSC can destroy the rebels without any scruples.
The Front rebels will also lose the qualifications to develop obscenely, and their rebellion will also come to an end.
If Robert dies, other rebel leaders will step forward and continue to take over and lead the rebels to fight the UNSC.
But once they lose the new star nuclear bomb, they will completely lose hope.
"yes!"
The correspondent who received the instruction immediately conveyed Robert's words to every combat unit and carrier-based aircraft unit.
Looking at the giant company troops who were about to complete the gang-hopping landing, Robert had realized that the enemy did not really want to kill them.
After all, if the giant companies really want to destroy them, they can completely destroy the entire rebel fleet in one encounter, and there is no need to make unnecessary gang-hopping.
Since the other party is here for the nuclear bomb, then we must not let the other party get what they want!
At this time, the damaged hull of the cruiser.
Accompanied by a violent explosion, the giant's hard light cannon penetrated a large hole 20 meters in diameter. The unbalanced air pressure difference caused strong surges of airflow.
Faced with this sudden situation, the rebels who were rushing to repair the ship flew directly towards the giant hole out of control.
Those who react quickly also know how to grab fixed objects around them to support their bodies and prevent them from being thrown away.
Those who reacted slowly were swept away by the airflow on the spot, thrown into outer space, and gradually lost their vital signs.
Humlong——! !
After a while, several Storm Eagle gunboats ran rampant and entered the ship directly through the huge hole. After completing the parking, the pilot released a large amount of colloid repair substance.
These substances have built-in nanoscale AI robots that can automatically stick to damaged gaps and plug holes in the ship's hull to quickly fill them.
Now, the air pressure environment inside the cabin has stabilized.
Before the rebels present could breathe a sigh of relief, the gunship immediately opened its hatch, and all the Astartes warriors and soldiers from the power armor squad quickly jumped out.
Ta-ta!
The sound of intensive footsteps on the metal deck began to resound, and many fully armed soldiers, armed with new hard-light weapons, quickly rushed out of the cabin and began to guard the surroundings.
At the same time, the tyrant armed with a heavy hard light machine gun and a large number of clone soldiers are also under the control of automated AI, cooperating with the soldiers to perform combat missions.
When they saw these tall, mighty, strange-shaped metal "big cans", the rebels' first reaction was that they were all alien troops!
Therefore, the vast majority of the rebels were stunned and speechless. Only a few were smart enough to raise their hands and surrender in time.
"We surrender! Don't kill us!"
Some rebels cried and begged for mercy.
But what greeted them was still the shooting of the clone soldiers, and the crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the empty cabin.
For a time, intensive screams spread everywhere.
These clone soldiers did not directly kill the rebels who had expressed surrender, but simply aimed at the opponent's non-vital areas and fired a few shots.
The purpose is to prevent the other party from having combat capabilities and delay the rebels' backup troops.
After all, in real situations, the person who was actually shot would not have the strength to shoot back.
All they could do was lie down on the ground and get some food. What's more, these rebels were just trying to make ends meet. It was impossible for them to risk their lives for their superiors even after being shot.
After taking care of this group of rebels, the soldiers followed the route map provided by AI Loki and quickly headed towards the area where the new star nuclear bomb was located.
Boom! Boom! !
The Astartes warriors took heavy steps and rushed to the front of the team. As they moved forward, they often encountered rebel marines.
The two sides launched several waves of fierce battles, but the rebels were unable to stop the Astartes warriors at all, and were beaten to pieces almost immediately after a confrontation.
For the soldiers of the giant company, enemy units that raise their hands to surrender can be wounded and lose their ability to resist.
But for the stubborn rebels who try to prevent them from carrying out their mission, the only option is to physically destroy them and send them to heaven to report.
Soon, as more and more Astartes warriors completed their gang-hopping, the giant company's troops poured into the rebel hangar almost unimpeded.
That crucial new star nuclear bomb is within reach!
…
At this moment, Eridanus II galaxy, Segudus base!
The front rebels who came to support the base had already been wiped out by Rita's disgusting tactics of encirclement and reinforcements.
Even if there are still remaining rebels staying on the outside, they don't dare to step in easily.
Rita, on the other hand, was wiping the body of the gun leisurely and firing out from time to time to scare the rebels outside.
The battle here has long ended, so Rita and Alex mostly looked up at the sky.
Through the light of the Eridani II star, they could see the faint blue glare of the hard light and the faint fire of the ship's explosion.
However, these strange scenes did not last long, and the sky returned to calm, leaving only the wailing wounded near the base.
"Ahem...!"
"It hurts! You damn UNSC bastards!"
"..."
The rebels were paralyzed on the ground, cursing, wailing, and crying. Some of them slept motionless throughout the whole process, with the sleep quality of a baby.
In this regard, Rita just glanced at them indifferently, like some rebels trying to crawl out and seek help. She did not shoot to interfere with the other party.
After all, the order she received was just to prevent the rebels from coming in, and she didn't need to worry about those who wanted to get out.
Here, when Alex and Cage have nothing to do, they will also hold weapons to check the surrounding environment, and beware of rebels coming around from the flanks.
When they encounter some rebels who are in too much pain and ask for relief, they will also give them a happy death out of humanitarianism and send them to the west with one shot.
Before the rescue team from the giant company in the world arrives here, all they have to do is stay here to avoid putting themselves in danger.
Swish——! !
Suddenly, a meteor shower flashed across the sky. Looking at the tail ends of those raindrops, there seemed to be black smoke. Cage couldn't help but said:
"These are all the remains of battleships. Those Front rebels are really stubborn. They would rather have so many casualties than fight our troops."
William Cage clicked his tongue, feeling very disdainful of the rebels' actions.
"Loki gave them a chance. If they don't surrender, they have no choice but to kill them. But it's not too late to surrender now. Let's see what they do."
Alex had no idea or empathy for these front rebels. After all, the human species had a very high talent for killing each other.
Whether it is a giant company in the world or a front rebel army, this is actually the case.
Previously on the Neptune, the rebels' actions were quite typical, and they were quick, accurate and ruthless in attacking their own people.
In Alex's opinion, the most suitable regime for mankind is the only "monopoly", where a leader with a long-term vision and profound thoughts leads civilization into the future.
Such a regime is the most efficient and has the highest ceiling, far better than the parliamentary system that argues every day and seeks personal gain.
In the current Universal Corporation, Leon is the absolute leader, leading the huge corporate empire and human civilization forward. This is the brightest and most majestic path for mankind.
