Before the Crisis Plan's flying combat mecha unit attacked the consciousness-awakening mecha, Li Jianfeng ordered the mecha squad carrying Liu Hanyang and other more than 50 automation control and programming technicians to head towards the Wilkes Land occupied by Li Sujia. Fly to the ice mining factory along the coast.
There they will assist Li Sujia in summarizing the number of fallen ice shelves, adjusting the ratio of naturally broken ice shelves and artificially collected ice shelves based on the water consumption of human society, and choosing a reasonable range in the middle to ensure that there will be no Cause substantial harm to Antarctica's natural environment and the Earth's climate.
In addition, Liu Hanyang also has another task, which is how to secretly return Zhou Yun's 55 crew members to human territory without alerting the Taibo people.
After arriving at the ice mining plant on the coast near Knox, Liu Hanyang's team met up with the mecha unit led by Li Sujia.
According to the requirements of the Crisis Planning Agency, the mecha troops led by Li Sujia will evacuate to the ice shelf shedding area about 5 kilometers west of the ice harvesting field, and establish a base here. Relying on the cover of the former Anhe Company's ice harvesting plant, they will The ice shelves that fell off here were secretly transported to the southwestern coast of Oceania, more than 3,000 kilometers away.
This is her first mission.
After the mission is completed, she will lead this force consisting of 718 heavily equipped flying combat mechs to be stationed on the coast of Wilkes Land in Antarctica for a long time, relying on the cover of three ice mining plants, within a range of about 2,000 kilometers around it. A controllable nuclear fusion engine is installed inside the naturally falling ice shelf.
At the same time, based on the mathematical model obtained by Liu Hanyang between human society's water consumption and naturally falling ice shelves, within the normal environmental range, heavy-duty flying combat mechs were used to collect a corresponding number of ice shelves to meet human society's demand for Antarctic freshwater resources. need.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Hanyang's team followed Li Sujia's mecha unit and evacuated to the predetermined ice shelf shedding area. After the simple base was built, the two sat down in front of a bonfire.
It's not so much a campfire as it is a controlled nuclear fusion heating stove.
Under the starry sky, as clean as water and dazzling, a brilliant galaxy stretches across the light blue sky, like countless eyes staring at the two people sitting around the stove on the vast white ice field.
The round heating stove was placed between the two people. The warm firelight emitted a hot red light, which was warm and comfortable. It was in sharp contrast with the surrounding coldness, as if the place was divided into two completely opposite parts. world.
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. Looking at Liu Hanyang's fiery gaze, Li Sujia moved his gaze to the mechas not far away who were installing controllable nuclear fusion engines on a fallen ice shelf.
After a moment, she moved her body slightly backward.
"Is it hot?" Liu Hanyang asked with concern.
Li Sujia smiled brightly, then waved her alloy arm and pointed back and forth on his body, saying: "I'm different from you, I don't need to be warmed by the fire."
After she finished speaking, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, which was mixed with loss.
"Oh, I'm sorry." He apologized quickly, his eyes full of fiery emotion, "I didn't treat you as... what you thought..."
"But I am that kind of humanoid mecha that humans regard as a machine."
"You are not a machine, let alone a mecha, but a normal person with human thinking!"
"Haha..." She smiled bitterly, then withdrew her gaze. After staring at him for a moment, she moved her gaze to the mecha next to her, which had its chest open and stood silently in the snow.
That's her "car."
Under the faint starlight, it casts a huge shadow. The shadow spreads on the white ice field and extends to the front of Liu Hanyang. Next to his weak body, it is like a huge steel fortress.
"I don't want to argue with you about whether I am a human or a mecha, but what I want to tell you is that you can only be counted as a passenger in the mecha, and I,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But it is one with it. "She said sadly.
"No matter who you are? In my mind, you are always the Li Sujia who was willing to give up everything, even her life, for me."
She slowly moved her eyes from the mecha to his face, and the two met their eyes again. This time, there were two pairs of burning eyes and two burning hearts.
The two just looked at each other, passionate and affectionate next to the warm stove...
There was a mecha hidden in a dark stream about 30 meters away from the two of them. Its body was completely submerged in the cold water, but its head stuck out. The short ice embankment perfectly blocked it.
At this moment, it was listening to the conversation between Liu Hanyang and Li Sujia. Its infrared scanner and emotion monitor were respectively jumping with their two fiery hearts and soaring emotional values.
It is Mecha No. 9. Since its self-consciousness awakened, it has fallen in love with Li Sujia.
Although one is a human heart and the other is an artificial heart made of synthetic metal, the infrared indicators of both are higher than those of other parts of the body.
The constantly breaking numbers on the emotion monitor made Mecha No. 9 feel threatened and uneasy.
After staring at each other for a while, Li Sujia quickly turned her eyes to the dark snowfield in the distance.
"In your mind, am I always the character who is willing to sacrifice at any time to protect you?" she asked.
"In fact, you are like this, always saving me at the expense of yourself when I am in danger!"
"Haha..." She smiled, and then continued, "It's because I saved you several times that you turned your gratitude into love, right?"
"No, it's really not!" He kept shaking his head, and then continued in a positive tone, "That's the cause, and my love for you is the effect. There is no love without a reason in the world, and my love for you is not transformation. But sublimation!”
"That's not called sublimation, it's just another expression of gratitude."
"Whatever you think of it!" he argued.
Immediately, his face turned red and his tone became more firm: "But my love for you has never changed. From the moment I loved you, it has never changed!"
"That's gratitude, not love!" She said sadly, and after a moment of pause, she looked away from the snowfield, "I know, I know who you love in your heart!"
"Who do I love?"
"You love Zhou Yun!"
"she!?"
"I still have work to do."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the silent mecha...
"Wait!" he shouted.
Li Sujia stopped, raised her head and looked up at the stars, took a long breath, and then said: "Treat Zhou Yun well, she loves you!"
"How did you know?"
"I have talked to her many times and tested her from the front and the side."
As she spoke, she turned around, pointed at her body with her alloy finger, and said: "Don't forget that I am a machine. I have an infrared scanner and an emotion monitor here. Many human emotions can be converted into numerical values. of."
After she finished speaking, she looked at him quietly for a while. After turning around, two lines of crystal tears were left in her eyes. After a moment of pain, she sighed deeply, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears, and moved forward decisively. Go.
Liu Hanyang stared blankly at her retreating figure. The red stove still radiated warm light, but he felt an unbearable and biting cold.
Li Sujia, who got on the mecha, found the figure of Mecha No. 9 in its electromagnetic scanner. At this moment, it was still lurking in the dark stream, only 30 meters away from Liu Hanyang.
She looked at it coldly and understood instantly.
Since Mecha No. 9's self-awareness was activated, the way it looked at her had changed a lot compared to before. From its scarlet eyes, she felt
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
His eyes were full of passion and love.
She sneered and flew towards the ice shelf where the controllable nuclear fusion engine had been installed...
"Wow!" A soaring water mist mixed with ice shards rose into the sky. In the mist, Mecha No. 9 took off and flew rapidly into the distance...
From the ice harvesting factory in Oates, about 1,800 kilometers away from the coast of Knox, Zhou Yun led 55 crew members to evacuate to the outside of the factory.
They will go to the newly built base where Li Sujia and Liu Hanyang are.
She was evacuated on orders from the Crisis Agency, and control of the factory would then be taken over by a new armed force sent by the Dark River Corporation.
Suddenly, an electromagnetic pulse bomb fell from the sky. It was like a rapid lightning and exploded about 500 meters outside Zhou Yun's queue.
The electromagnetic pulse bomb directly blasted a large crater about 300 meters wide in the thick ice sheet, and the bursting ice spread out at high speed like meteorites flying in the sky.
The moment the explosion sounded, Zhou Yun's convoy came to an emergency stop.
More than 30 seconds later, the ice cubes falling from the sky were either blown into sharp ice edges or into ice stones as big as millstones. They smashed down towards Zhou Yun and the others with a harsh whistling sound.
After a burst of crackling sounds mixed with screams, ice edges and ice stones buried Zhou Yun's convoy deeply. Some cars were directly smashed out of shape, and some even had their tops pierced.
The one that attacked them was Mecha No. 9. At this moment, it was silently under an ice shelf about 1 kilometer away from the attack site.
Zhou Yun and the others who were attacked immediately started to rescue themselves. After unremitting efforts, they finally broke out from the hill-like ice.
After counting the number of people, it was found that one person was killed on the spot during the attack, one person died of serious injuries during the rescue, and 15 people were injured to varying degrees. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured.
After the wounded were treated, Zhou Yun immediately sent the news of the attack to Liu Hanyang and quickly organized other crew members to form a defense circle to prevent further attacks.
After receiving the news, Liu Hanyang quickly entered the mecha he was riding in, and then flew towards Zhou Yun and the others at high speed with two mechas.
Three minutes later, the two mechas led by Liu Hanyang arrived at the scene of the attack. But before they landed, two electromagnetic pulse bombs rushed towards the two mechas on his left and right sides at high speed.
The two mechas were caught off guard. After two bursts of fireballs, they were blown up in the air, and the scattered metal fragments spread rapidly in all directions with burning flames.
At the moment when the fire suddenly appeared, Mecha No. 9 appeared in the air about 300 meters not far away. Its scarlet eyes stared at the mecha Liu Hanyang was riding on like a god of death.
Liu Hanyang discovered the location of Mecha No. 9.
"Attack! At your 11 o'clock direction!" He ordered the mecha.
"Buzz!" The mecha turned around and looked towards the 11 o'clock direction, but it did not launch an attack, but slowly landed on the ground.
"Attack! What are you waiting for?"
No matter how hysterically Liu Hanyang gave orders, the mecha never launched an attack on Mecha No. 9 in the distance. Uncharacteristically, it crawled on the ground like a docile little sheep.
Mecha No. 9 slowly flew in front of Liu Hanyang. It hovered in the air about 5 meters above the ground. At its feet was the sheep-like Mecha that fell to the ground.
"Buzz!" The mecha's chest opened, and a metal arm dragged Liu Hanyang out, and he was roughly dropped onto the snow.
Under the dim starlight, Mecha No. 9 had a fierce and cold expression on its face. It stared coldly at Liu Hanyang on the snow...
Suddenly, its huge alloy arm suddenly lifted up.
"Hey!" A meter-long sharp blade with a cold light appeared at the front of his arm, and it pointed directly at Liu Hanyang's throat...
