Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 144 The Dragon Slayer Becomes the Dragon

Andre took his remaining 20 or so agents and broke out of the CIA's encirclement of them.

A plume of thick smoke rose into the sky in the distance.

Everyone knows that the war robot has been destroyed by Portman's gunship missiles.

And now, the opponent will also have free hands to pursue them.

Originally, they thought so, so that they kept fleeing to the distance without looking back.

Constantly pretending to be an ordinary passerby, passing through the dense crowd.

During this period, he switched his mimicry device in a blind spot of surveillance and changed it to the appearance of another race.

After working for a long time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party had indeed not caught up.

It's just that while I breathed a sigh of relief, I was also a little bit baffled.

Although they made a lot of preparations, constantly blending into the crowd and switching their appearance.

But the CIA shouldn't have no reaction at all.

There were no traffic stops on the road, nor were local police officers used to conduct searches.

However, compared to these, the most important thing now is still——

"Director, where is that person?"

An agent looked at the twenty-odd agents who had regrouped, suddenly froze for a moment, and asked Andre.

"Ok?"

The people who regrouped realized that Qin Xu was missing, and so was the lizard woman.

"Didn't I tell him to gather here before we dispersed? Could it be that he was caught?"

Someone among the agents whispered.

Andre looked at everyone, and then at Xiaotai, who was still a little confused.

"Tai Swift, where is the woman you asked to carry?"

"The man with the pointed ears said he would carry it. He originally asked me to carry it, so I gave it back to him. Then the director asked us to disperse and finally gather here, and that's it."

"No, at least leave your contact information. Wearing a mimic device, we can't find him now even if we want to recruit him."

However, this matter is different from what other agents are still struggling with.

After Andre learned that Qin Xu took the initiative to separate from them, he thought of a possibility.

He frowned and said in a deep voice: "No, there is something wrong here."

"Director, do you suspect he is an enemy?"

"No, he cannot be sent by the enemy. If he is the enemy, then when we have already believed in him, we should not sneak away alone. Instead, we should take the initiative to join us and then become A spy within us.”

"And now that the other party is gone alone, it just proves that the other party does not want to have too much to do with us. Combined with the strength he showed before, and the last shout..."

At this point, Andre suddenly paused.

Because he found that he didn't know what Qin Xu was shouting at that time.

"He turned off the translator at that point."

Andre's eyebrows frowned tightly, and then his expression became serious.

"But no matter what he yelled, the robots started killing each other, so there's no doubt it had something to do with him."

A third-party force that has completed physical ascension and whose artificial intelligence technology is no less than that of the Portman conglomerate.

Regardless of what this force thinks of Field.There is no doubt that the other party is already hostile to Portman.

If they can be brought in, it will be the Field Star Alliance and a powerful foreign aid to the Warsaw Pact Galaxy Organization.

Field is not a national concept, but a belief and a revolution.

For Qin Xu's leaving without saying goodbye, Andre was not only not disappointed, but even more excited.

This represents the entry of a powerful third party.

It represents another step forward in achieving his goal of liberating oppressed people around the world.

He will immediately report this news to the Field Star Alliance.

The Star Alliance headquarters must also be very happy to have such a powerful force join this crusade against the Portman conglomerate.

Information from the KGB branch of the Kuilak Republic soon reached the hands of Ivanov, chairman of the Field Supreme Executive Committee, through a special covert transmission method.

Ivanov is a 180-year-old mammalian intelligent creature with a wolf's tail.

Although he is 180 years old, he has been running wildly on the road of design ascension with the Field Star Alliance.

The rapid development of biotechnology has increased the average life span of their entire population to more than 300 years.

This is an exaggerated figure.

But it is still much shorter than the 800-year lifespan of the Portman conglomerate's prosthetic ascension route.

Although their lifespan is not comparable, with their cloning warehouse technology, they can produce in batches the population needed to make up for the growing empire's territory.

In an interstellar civilization, population is the basic productivity, knowledge is the productivity bonus percentage, and the multiplication of the two is the productivity level of the entire civilization.

The cost of a human clone doing the same job is much lower than that of a robot.

Of course, this is only true in a planned economy. In a market economy, the cost of using robots is still lower.

Therefore, knowing that the threat of runaway artificial intelligence was on the table, Portman still insisted on developing robots.

Although the average life expectancy is not as good as that of the other side, Field's total population is more than 20 times that of Portman.

And with such a large population, it is still not an absolute advantage on the battlefield.

It is because Portman has begun to put a large number of robots into the battlefield over the years, and the manpower gap between the two sides has been made up at once.

After all, when calculating the population of both sides, the other side's robots were not included.

In general, the biggest advantage of the genetic ascension route chosen by the Field Star Alliance over the prosthetic ascension route is the cloning warehouse technology and the population growth rate.

However, this advantage was made up by Portman's large-scale use of robots. The only advantage of genetic ascension was offset. The prosthetic body was now completely superior to genes.

Even as Portman began to produce robots unscrupulously, their fertility rate was still overtaken with the blessing of cloning warehouse technology.

Once Portman relaxed his oppression of slaves and other civilizations, no civilization continued to defect to Field's side.

Then the relative strength growth rate of the Field Star Alliance and the Portman conglomerate will be fixed.

Field will never be able to catch up with Portman, and can only always be the second superpower in overall strength.

Field would not accept this outcome.

In order to ensure that it becomes number one in the world, it will do whatever it takes.

Because only oppression, they have a reason to shoot.

A group of people gathered because of their pure faith gradually became a new imperialism on the road of opposing imperialism.

But Field knew nothing about it.
