Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1190 Three Hundred and Thirty Thousand Variables

Let’s go back to AD 2308.

After the Battle of the African Orbital Elevator, countries around the world continuously organized manpower and dispatched troops to clean up and reorganize the site of the orbital elevator, and strive to repair it in the shortest possible time and put it back into use.

Behind this bustling scene, something strange appeared in the orbital space station at the top of the African Orbital Elevator, which had been destroyed to the point where it was almost unusable.

Fortunately, no one noticed this strange thing.

Humans today are not in the mood to pay much attention to this dilapidated orbital space station that is about to be scrapped. The limited personnel, resources and energy are all invested in related projects such as restoring the operation of the orbital elevator.

Once the orbital elevator is operational again, this dilapidated orbital space station will enter the scrapping process.

Therefore, dozens of silver-gray figures, each nearly a hundred meters in size, quietly emerged from the ruins and quickly sank into the shadow of the earth. After obtaining the acceleration of the gravitational slingshot, their actions of quickly getting rid of the earth's gravity were not discovered by humans.

After a period of time, a battle quietly broke out in the L3 area, which is the farthest away from the earth but has not yet been included in the space development project by humans and is merely listed as a resource satellite storage point.

But this battle came in a very strange way.

Because the party involved in the battle was just a strange silver-gray stone with an oval front end and an overall shape similar to a bullet head.

On the other side is the legion that terrified the human beings on Earth a year ago and almost overthrew the entire human world.

No one knows how the battle started.

No one knows why the legion that should have appeared on Earth would appear here to fight against these strange-looking stones.

It was not until this battle that the Legion paid the price of more than half of its troops and finally defeated the strange-looking but powerful stone.

Then, when the Legion was retrieving the strange stone as a trophy, something unexpected happened.

On the radar, the strange stone that had lost all response suddenly eroded the large legion units approaching it, while also continuously attacking the legion network.

The crisis broke out in an instant.

But just as the core individuals of the Legion network were preparing to gather strength to fight against this corrosive force, another accident occurred.

An unknown force suddenly appeared and induced something from deep within the Legion's network, causing it to grow rapidly and spread to the entire Legion's network at an unimaginable speed, helping the Legion resist erosion and regain control in one fell swoop.

Then, far away from the human society in the Earth-Moon Sphere, the entire legion in the L3 universe fell into a state of shutdown, leaving only the core individuals who maintained the existence of the legion network, which entered some strange computing state.

[Analysis 1: Unknown metal entity. ]

[It is impossible to analyze its external armor, its vital signs, and its level of civilization. It has a very high level of aerospace technology, but cannot communicate with words or programs.]

[Speculation 1: Unidentified metal entity.]

[Origin unknown. Based on its ability to move freely in a high-radiation vacuum environment, it is speculated that it is a silicon-based metal life form and cannot communicate through words, text, or programs.]

[Speculation 2: Unknown metal entity.]

[There seems to be no life signs. It is suspected that they are communicating through vibrations between molecules, and in this process, the unknown particles involved in this activity seem to be very similar to the GN particles released by the GN solar furnace needed by the Celestial Being Organization. ]

[Speculation 3: Unidentified metal entity.]

[The purpose of its appearance on Earth is unknown. It is very likely a detection device from a silicon-based civilization. But why can the detection device have such a powerful killing power? ]

[Speculation 4: Unidentified metal entity.]

[It has a terrifying ability to assimilate and devour, but it has not taken over the host's mind. Is it because we "killed" it beforehand? ]

[If strange rocks with the ability to assimilate and devour appear on a large scale in the Earth's sphere, the situation will be...]

As the sunlight fell on the L3 area, the core individuals of the legion, which had fallen into a strange computing state, woke up again.

[I need more computing nodes. ]

A.D. 2309. [Computing node growth rate is 500%. Computing network is initially formed. Secondary analysis of unidentified metal entities begins.]

[Second analysis 1: According to the orbit calculation program, the unidentified metal entity is likely to have started from the direction of Jupiter and then arrived in the Earth's sphere.]

[Question 1: Astronomical units in various countries have not found any records of alien structures from outside the solar system appearing in the solar system.]

[Speculation 1: This unidentified metal entity is likely to have used some deep space navigation technology, or to have reached Earth through some mysterious phenomenon that humans cannot yet understand. For example, a wormhole.]

[Speculation 2: If speculation 1 is true, then the wormhole is likely to exist near Jupiter. ]

[Speculation 3: If speculation 1 is true, there is a high probability that there will be a wormhole that can pass a large number of troops. Humanity, the Earth, and even the Legion will be threatened by alien civilizations.]

【Conclusion: more computing nodes and more variables are needed! 】

November, AD2309.

Signs of large-scale Legion activities have been discovered across the European and African continents of the Earth, and the death toll has increased dramatically. The independent security force A-LAWS is highly expected by the Earth Federation Congress to fight against the Legion.

[Computing node growth rate is 1000%. The third stage simulation program is launched.]

【Simulated environment, Earth.】

[Simulated forces, the People's Revolutionary League, the Union, the AEU, and various independent countries. 】

[Simulation time is AD2308~AD2309.]

[Simulation in progress...]

[The civilization to which the unidentified metal individuals belong appeared on Jupiter, but humans have not yet discovered it. 】

[An unknown metal entity appeared in the Earth-Moon Sphere, successfully landed on the Moon, and began to devour the Moon. Humans finally discovered the civilization to which the unknown metal entity belonged, and sent troops to fight, but the fleet was completely destroyed.]

[The unknown metal entities have completed devouring the moon and started to invade the Earth's atmosphere. Humans organized military forces to resist, but the unknown metal entities broke through their defenses. Large-scale metal entities successfully landed in major cities around the world.]

[In less than an hour, all humans in major cities around the world were assimilated and devoured, becoming lifeless metal and stone pillars.]

[Results of the first round of simulation, humans failed! ]

[Second round of simulation, introduce variables, legion, simulation begins...]

[In AD2308, the remnants of the Legion were at war with humans. The independent security force A-LAWS always fought on the front line to defend the last line of defense for humans. ]

[An unidentified metal entity appeared on Jupiter and broke through the asteroid belt in a short period of time and entered the orbit of Mars.]

[Some human astronomers discovered the existence of unidentified metal entities, issued warnings, and proposed to reconcile with the Legion to fight against the aliens together. ]

【Reconciliation failed due to assassinations, protests and even a lack of consensus within parliament!】

[In the same month, an unidentified metal entity broke through the Earth-Moon Sphere and successfully landed on the Moon, and sent some troops to land on the Earth.]

[A week later, all the major cities on Earth fell, and the remaining humans, with the help of the Legion, retreated to the plateau and completely abandoned the major cities around the coast.]

[Faced with the invasion of alien enemies, there are still forces within the remaining human race that are hostile to the Legion. Eventually, after an assassination incident, the opposition forces overthrow the Provisional Parliament and once again enter a state of war with the Legion.]

[When the flames of war spread across the entire plateau, the unidentified metal entity that had completed the assimilation and devouring of the moon sent more troops to land on Earth. ]

[72 hours later, humanity is extinct, the core individual of the legion orders all legion units to initiate the self-destruct sequence, and the Earth changes hands.]

[The second round of simulation failed. The variables, Legion, do not have the ability to cause changes in time and space. New variables need to be reintroduced.]

[The third round of simulation begins, introducing new variables, heaven and man...]

[Simulation program, expand! ]
