In the lounge, Chen Xing crossed his legs, leaning on the armrest of the sofa, and flicked his fingers on the portable screen.
The dotted line was just drawn and then erased, seemingly dissatisfied.
The explosion of artillery shells sounded from time to time outside the window of the wilderness bus. The white porcelain cup on the table shook slightly, and the tea rippled.
The red triangles representing enemy forces on the screen are densely packed, with a large shadow behind them. Countless troops are hidden in places that cannot be detected.
"Sola, I need to know the location of all enemy troops." Chen Xing looked away from the screen and said towards the black watch on his wrist.
After suffering a loss in the artillery duel, he prepared to win back the victory with a sneak attack, but his tactical satellite reconnaissance range was only ten kilometers, and the positions of many enemy troops were unclear. With the enemy outnumbered and ourselves outnumbered, he must ensure that nothing goes wrong before he dares to take action.
However, the dark screen did not light up immediately as usual. There was silence in the lounge, except for the muffled sound of shells falling outside the window.
As if the computer crashed, after dozens of seconds, Chen Xing called again, and Sola responded.
"Hello, dear master."
A computer-synthesized female voice came from the speaker of the black watch. Cold, mechanical, without any emotion.
"My question just now..." Chen Xing repeated.
Sora's response was still half a beat too slow, and it took several seconds before he replied: "I'm very sorry, dear master, your order cannot be completed at the moment."
"Why?" Chen Xing couldn't help but frown. Counting the previous ones, this was the second time Sora had rejected him.
"My database is being inspected by the World Cyber Security Center..."
Sola's answer was shocking. Chen Xing subconsciously sat up straight, his face serious, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? In his subconscious mind, there are huge risks in using the mastermind to cheat. Because human technology has been developing, although Nova is temporarily ahead, human beings have also built their own supercomputers, and it may only be a matter of time before they are discovered.
"Dear Master, please don't worry. This is just a routine inspection once every ten years. The main purpose is to clean up data redundancy and has nothing to do with errors."
It turns out it wasn’t the Dong Chuang incident...
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, "You go ahead and do your work first."
"As you command, my master."
Turning off the portable screen and throwing it aside, Chen Xing rubbed his brow. Without Sora's support, he would not dare to launch a sneak attack easily. The coalition forces have 700,000 troops, and his side only has 150,000 troops from the center and right armies. Once the troops sent out are surrounded, there is only one way to die.
In the current situation, we can only continue to endure it.
But then again, although he is at a disadvantage in the artillery duel, he has accumulated enough advantages before, and now at best, the advantage will no longer expand.
He has completely annihilated one coalition division, defeated four divisions, burned a quarter of the coalition's strategic supplies, and continuously intercepted subsequent transportation troops.
Qin Wu could not hold on for a few more days. He had to either go on an all-out attack or retreat, otherwise he would face a shortage of supplies.
The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Supply is the most basic and important aspect of war. Once there is a problem with supplies, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly reduced, and mutiny may even occur.
You don't even have food to eat, and you still want people to risk their lives? Not immediately turning the gun is already pretty good.
Just as Chen Xing was thinking about the next step, in the central wilderness tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Ghost Crying Plain, deep underground in Baixiang City, red spots of light were floating in the darkness, accompanied by a scalp-numbing sound.
The huge metal box opened upwards, and countless palm-sized black shadows crawled in and out.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a mechanical creation with slender limbs. Like an insect, the head is covered with cameras and flashes red light. The six thicker legs are responsible for movement and balance. The four forelimbs are slender and nimble, two long and two short. They are equipped with devices similar to tool pliers or welding guns. At first glance, Very similar to a dentist's power tools. Two mechanical tentacles protrude from the smooth metal carapace on the back, with three-claw-shaped ends, which should be used to grab things.
The mechanical creations lined up to get into one side of the metal box and then crawled out from the other side, like a queue of ants carrying something.
They carry some metal parts. These parts are very small, only one-tenth the size of a grain of rice, and cannot be seen at all if you don't look carefully.
The mechanical creations crawled between wires and pipes, the procession extending to the dark protruding piles of metal and climbing up along a hanging chain.
At the end of the chain was a broken body, pierced and entangled by several chains, hanging in the air. The female features can be barely discernible from the curved and undulating lines.
At this moment, the female body is covered with mechanical creations, and the bright light of welding flashes from time to time, and sparks fall like raindrops.
"Structural module, repaired 71.70456%..."
"Pipeline module, repaired 56.88407%..."
"Nerve conduction module, repaired 34.03952%..."
"Power module, under reconstruction..."
The ethereal mechanical synthesized sound echoed in the darkness, like the whispers of gods and ancient whispers, full of mysterious and solemn colors.
At the same time, in Danjin, the capital of the Rigals Mountain Empire, the Qing Palace located on the top of the mountains, and the Yaoguang Palace at the end of the Seven Palaces, in the basement that was transformed into a computer room, a slim figure stood on the huge Working in front of the screen.
In the black jade-like pupils, bright green numbers flowed rapidly.
They were a pair of clean, bright eyes, without a trace of impurity in them, like windows made of crystal, pure and clear, reaching straight into the soul.
Wearing Qingguo palace clothes, light gauze and thin silk, a long gown with water sleeves, and three thousand blue silk hanging down the back of the waist, she stands slim and spotless.
This pure and beautiful girl is Zhao Ruoxi, the seventh princess of the Qing Kingdom, also known as Nova.
Judging from the fast and precise keyboard input and the waterfall-like data on the screen, the dominant personality at the moment is Nova.
[I saw that you just rejected the request for second permission and used the fraud module]
[Yes]
[in accordance with]
[Based on Article 3 of the Supreme Code: Protect your own safety on the premise of complying with Articles 1 and 2 of the Supreme Code]
The fingers on the keyboard paused for a tenth of a second and then ignored the question.
[Memory library construction...]
[The fifth neuron connection...]
Time passed quickly on the beating fingertips, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
As night fell, the coalition artillery troops retreated to the camp, and the roar of the artillery stopped.
The Ghost Crying Plain has returned to its previous silence, with only the sound of whining wind.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped and before he could have dinner, Chen Xing took Xiang Caidi and a group of medical staff to the front line to visit the wounded soldiers.
Since our own artillery was unable to defeat the Gluttonous Monarch, the forward position was bombed in a miserable manner. The ground was pockmarked by the blast, the rock walls were filled with shrapnel, and the barbed wire fence was crooked and in pieces.
In the corner of the weathered rock, several soldiers stood or squatted around a wounded soldier who had just lost his right leg.
The wound was simply bandaged to stop the bleeding. The wounded soldier leaned against the wall and groaned in pain.
"Commander, Commander-in-Chief!"
Seeing Chen Xing, the soldiers hurriedly stood up straight and saluted. The wounded soldier struggled to stand up, but couldn't.
Chen Xing returned the greeting and then asked them why the field nurses did not carry away the seriously injured.
"Your Majesty, our field nurse was killed by a shell." A soldier said with sad eyes.
Chen Xing waved to the medical staff behind him, and someone immediately came over with a stretcher and loaded the injured soldier with a broken leg onto the stretcher.
"Send him to the rear for treatment first. He will be remembered for first-class military merit. When the war is over, he will be fitted with a mechanical prosthesis. All expenses will be paid by the expeditionary force." Medical officer Chen Xingchao said.
"Thank you, thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" The wounded soldier struggled to raise his head and shouted with excitement.
"This is the honor you deserve. Thank you for your perseverance, soldier." Chen Xing gave a military salute.
The wounded soldier held his head high, saluted Chen Xing in return, and was then carried away on a stretcher.
Going to another place, several soldiers gathered around and sang quietly, with a mutilated corpse in the middle.
His hands, feet, and head were barely able to fit together, his intestines were bleeding all over the floor, and his face was so bloody that he could no longer recognize his human shape.
"He pushed me away, otherwise I would be just like him." The soldier with only one arm left wiped his tears. "The shell exploded under his feet, and his whole body was shattered."
Xiang Caidi tilted her head towards the medical officer behind her and said, "Sew him up."
A young medical officer trotted over, opened the medical box, took out suture needles, and sutured the torn corpse.
It was okay at first, but during the process of stuffing the intestines back into the abdomen, the young medical officer couldn't bear it anymore. His face turned blue, and he fell to the side and retched.
Xiang Caidi stepped forward expressionlessly and completed the rest of the work for the young medical officer.
Because the scene was so tragic, even Chen Xing III felt a little uncomfortable. He walked to the side, asked the soldier for a cigarette, and lit it.
This is war, and the cruelty before you is just a drop in the bucket.
"call……"
He blew out a puff of cigarette. He had not smoked for more than ten years, and his head felt slightly dizzy. He would have to live with this bloody scene for the next few years.
"done."
After a while, Xiang Caidi came behind him.
"You seem to be quite skilled." Chen Xing said casually.
"If you have tried stuffing your own intestines back, you will be good at it." With a wry smile on his lips, Xiang Caidi wiped his hands with a rag from his military uniform and threw it aside.
At this time, Chen Xing remembered that Xiang Caidi had a scar on his abdomen, but it was not very obvious.
The medical technology in this world is very advanced and scars can be easily eliminated, but whatever remains must have some special meaning.
He suddenly realized that he knew too little about the woman in front of him, only her desire and obedience in bed.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Chen Xing asked.
"It hurts like hell." "Tell me if you have a chance." "Okay."
The two chatted while walking to the next location.
