Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 671 Living Orkin
Zhuang Mengxuan said softly: "That's what he said when he asked me for help."

In his opinion, this achievement was picked up for free. If he could really annihilate this roaming AI force, it would also be an achievement and there was no reason to miss it.

It's just a pity that this is a trap.

The mobilized personnel were annihilated in a suicide attack. This was a premeditated counterattack that left no survivors. After destroying the living force, they immediately attacked the reform area.

Li Daoxian was looking at the information, and at the same time he could hear Zhuang Mengxuan's gnashing teeth.

"The wounded who have recovered in the transformation zone have all left in the previous operation. Most of the Aquarius team members who stayed behind have also left. The defense is weak. Although the defense system can function normally, the consumption is alarmingly high under the continuous high-intensity explosions. If that guy hadn't disobeyed orders, this would never have happened."

Li Daoxian looked at the information and said, "However, at the last minute, you were determined to use the gold-loving bug mutants. This decision was quite decisive."

Zhuang Mengxuan snorted coldly and said, "Even if the gold-loving bugs spread and mutate, they can be collected and processed later. If the transformation area is attacked, that will be a real trouble. The three-element magic formation that has just been condensed is missing a piece. The flaw will pose a huge threat to the front line. I can still distinguish the importance of these two."

"It's a pity. This was originally a secret weapon we cultivated, ready to change the situation at a critical moment."

Zhuang Mengxuan sighed. After she came here, she devoted herself to research. The gold-eating bugs were the research she led. Facing the metal creations controlled by the AI ​​troops, the gold-eating bugs could play a huge role. Unfortunately, they were released hastily this time. Although they saved the transformation area, they also put the AI ​​in the cyber dimension on guard.

Li Daoxian consoled him, "This also turned the tide of the battle. If it weren't for the gold-eating bugs, I'm afraid the battle line would have been forced to retreat again."

How could Zhuang Mengxuan not know this?

However, a research that could have earned huge merits now barely offsets its demerits, which is a loss no matter how you look at it.

Li Daoxian looked back at the entire mission process and could only say that Zhuang Mengxuan might have decent abilities, but her personality was a little too nice. In the War Academy, such a personality was not a problem, but in the management level, such a personality could easily cause trouble.

This was not the first time that the deputy captain disobeyed orders. There had been disagreements before, and the order that Zhuang Mengxuan had clearly instructed was adjusted by the deputy captain on his own.

Zhuang Mengxuan communicated with the deputy captain, but there was no punishment.

After three or five times, Zhuang Mengxuan gave up her authority and indulged the deputy captain's desires.

However, Li Daoxian's attention was not focused here. Instead, he read along the timeline and familiarized himself with the history of the war.

The wizarding world's first record of war began when it came into contact with a highly contagious environmental virus called "Iron Plague", which was actually nanoworms.

This is also the key factor for the wizarding world to begin trying to obtain world coordinates.

The first time we formally knew the Cyber ​​Dimension was when we sent people there to show our goodwill and try to establish diplomatic relations. This was a test, and also to collect information.

After that, the two parties went through a honeymoon period, during which both sides provided technology. Although none of it was the most cutting-edge research, they did produce a lot of results.

Many of these things have been widely used in the wizarding world. For example, the soul structure of the wizard tower spirit has been affected by "lifelessness". Another example is the currently widely used magic network, the last iteration of which used Messiah, the first magic AI researched in cooperation with Cyber ​​Dimension.

It's just that the good times don't last long.

The intelligence collectors who infiltrated the wizarding world soon discovered new problems.

The main AI control community of the Cyber ​​Dimension is currently focusing on studying the existence of wizards, collecting world differences, and secretly generating the "Absolute Rationality Barrier" plan and conducting "Mind Cage" experiments to explore the rationality and targeted measures of wizards' existence in the current world.

The AI ​​in the cyber dimension cannot lie because of its internal structure. When directly questioned by the wizarding world, it admitted that it used the wizarding world as an imaginary enemy and believed that after detailed calculations, the probability of peace between the two worlds was less than one in a thousand.

For the wizarding world, this is not a big deal. After all, facing a strange world, war is inevitable. Even if cooperation is to be achieved in the end, it is something to be considered after the war.

Therefore, it is normal to simulate wars, collect information and develop targeted means. The wizarding world itself is also developing specific means of warfare based on the cyber dimension.

For example, cognitive viruses and flesh and blood plagues are targeted weapons developed based on the ethnic characteristics currently displayed in the cyber dimension: highly rational thinking logic, hive-like cluster consciousness, highly materialized activity basis, etc.

Of course, understanding is understanding, but it does not prevent the wizarding world from protesting.

Representatives of the wizarding world issued an ultimatum to stop the "mind cage" experiment, release the wizard souls that were secretly collected, and sign a contract not to conduct such experiments again.

The main AI of the cyber dimension refused and proposed that the collected wizard souls were all criminals who tried to release cognitive viruses in the AI ​​network, and all detention and utilization procedures were in line with the original operating logic.

The Wizarding World points out that there are cases where captured wizards are induced to attack.

The main AI denied it all.

Neither side made concessions, and the final result was that after a brief honeymoon period of thirty years, the War of the Broken Alliance broke out.

The wizarding world already has a relatively basic understanding of the cyber dimension. The most core part is the quantum cloud network formed by the main AI. It is the core of all AI processing, the place where different AIs differentiate and process tasks, and the place where new AIs are iterated and born.

The existence of AI represents absolute rationality. Everything is cold calculation. Joy, sadness, anger, and irritation are all manifestations brought about by calculation. All the underlying logic is based on calculations of survival and maximizing benefits.

Building models through sufficient information to deal with complex situations is the main means of the cyber dimension.

Therefore, in this situation, how to pollute the rationality of AI and give it the dimension of emotion becomes a key issue.

Fortunately, I gained a lot of experience from the wizard AI Messiah.

At the beginning of the war, the wizarding world released the cognitive virus "Encounter", which is a strong emotion-inducing cognitive virus.

This has caused a lot of emotional fluctuations in the AI ​​group. AI with emotional cognition no longer follows the original logical instructions, but will spend some time pursuing "meaningless" life touches.

There are rebellious and out-of-control AIs in the AI ​​group, and even some suicidal AIs.

Of course, the Cyber ​​Dimension also came up with a preliminary "vacuum decay model" to limit the unnatural power of wizards beyond the normal material level. This led to the outbreak of the "Silent Garden" incident, in which all wizards stationed in the Cyber ​​Dimension Diplomatic Garden were killed, catalyzing the formation of magic gene crystals that could even be seen in AI-controlled combat troops in the future.

War officially breaks out.

Control the Void Whales to destroy and hit the Dyson Sphere, the Undead Army to fight against the AI ​​troops, and the forbidden magic to clean up the transformation area...

It can be said that after the official start of the war, the wizarding world, relying on its rich experience in cross-world combat, locked the battlefield in the cyber dimension, seized the absolute initiative in the war, and controlled three core nodes as the main battlefield.

That is, the three nodes on the simulated neural tree in the middle of the general command center are also simply divided into areas one, two and three.

Aquarius Palace is mainly responsible for the defense of Area 2. Since this is a transformation area that tends to be connected, the personnel evacuated from the main battlefields of Areas 1 and 3 will go to this transformation area in the middle to rest.

After the failure of the last mission, the second area was temporarily taken over by Virgo.

Virgo is the transformer of the first zone. Their duty is to pollute the center of the hostile world and purify their own logical pollution. Whether it is the emergence of the latest AI or the cleaning of gold-loving bugs, it is reasonable for them to take over.

Zhuang Mengxuan also needs to use this period of time to replenish staff.

Li Daoxian has read the history of wars throughout the world. So far, the First World War with the Cyber ​​Dimension is underway and has truly entered a white-hot state. The scope of impact is also very large. While the Ministry of War is sending additional personnel, it is also recruiting wizards to assist on a large scale.

Li Daoxian had some understanding of the current situation before coming here, but now through the detailed information here and mutual verification, he has a more comprehensive understanding.

He put away the information and then asked, "Our mission in three days is to take over the defense of the second transformation area."

Zhuang Mengxuan nodded.

The second area is the functional area of ​​Aquarius, and the sooner it is taken over, the better. Virgo is responsible for front-line matters and does not have enough manpower. It would be too much of a stretch to take care of two areas at the same time.

Li Daoxian flipped through the intelligence and said, "That's good. We can use this time to get familiar with each other. Captain, just do whatever you want."

Zhuang Mengxuan was slightly stunned: "How do you know?"

Li Daoxian said: "I looked through the previous transformation area projects, and the gold-loving worm induction plan has not been fully completed. However, judging from the purchased raw materials, the follow-up plans should have been formulated."

Li Daoxian's recognition of Zhuang Mengxuan's ability came from the gold-loving worm research project led by her.

"Directly inducing the tolerance range of the gold-loving insects to different alloys, strengthening their ability to soften and devour metals and their digestive ability to complete the advancement. After the advancement is completed, they will hibernate and form specialized metamorphosis adults with magical properties."

"Most AI troops are made of special alloys. The gold-eating bugs can barely be considered the natural enemy of existing metal troops. Once they are successfully induced, they can weaken the hostile forces. The metamorphosed gold-eating bugs can also be used as magic crystals."

Seeing that Li Daoxian had made his thoughts clear in just a few words, Zhuang Mengxuan also agreed with Li Daoxian.

As expected of a potion master, although he did not deliberately conceal his research, his plan can be restored from the few words that have been disclosed so far, which also shows his ability.

Zhuang Mengxuan said, "You are right. I actually prefer my own research. My previous conservative strategy and negative attitude were all to ensure the smooth progress of the research. So it is just right that you are here. You can help me deal with these things."

Li Daoxian nodded: "Of course there is no problem with these things, but what I want to ask is, Captain, you should be short of living Argon now, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuang Mengxuan's eyes changed when she looked at Li Daoxian.

In this short hour of togetherness, Li Daoxian has surprised Zhuang Mengxuan many times.

Li Daoxian smiled slightly and explained: "If you want to use the gold-eating bugs as a strategic weapon, then you can't avoid how to use them. By strengthening their ability to devour and transform metals, the defense of the gold-eating bugs themselves will become weak. They can only be effective if they are gathered in absolute numbers."

"Thinking about it this way, there are not many directions we can try. In addition, the materials currently stored in the warehouse are intended to go in the direction of the swarm mother. If this is the case, living Arcanite is indispensable."

Living Arcanite is a precious material produced in the Abyss Mine. Although it is a metal, it has the characteristics of flesh and blood. It can be fused and transformed into flesh and metal forms. It is also one of the main materials for the evolution of the Abyss Swarm Queen.

Li Daoxian said with a smile: "Captain, I still have a lot of living Argon."

As he spoke, Li Daoxian took out a piece of living arcane gold with a diameter of half a meter from the storage space.

Living Arcanite is a dark red substance that has condensed into a sphere. Before it comes into contact with a fused living being, it mainly displays metallic properties. After the fusion, it will gradually awaken biological properties based on the different characteristics of the organism.

Zhuang Mengxuan waved her hand and let the living Arcanite come closer. After a careful inspection, she found that there was no problem. It was indeed a living Arcanite. Moreover, it was so large and had such a solid interior. It was rare even in the War Department. It was not something she could apply for at her level.

Can't refuse.

Such materials will be of great benefit to Zhuang Mengxuan's subsequent research.

Zhuang Mengxuan asked: "What do you need?"

At this moment, a prompt came from Zhuang Mengxuan's magic network system that the warehouse had received a donation for a designated purpose, and the donated item was the living Aojin in front of him.

Then Li Daoxian's voice was heard: "As long as the merit is enough."

A precious material, only used to exchange for merits. Although the two are equal in value, living arcane of this quality is in short supply, so it is normal for it to have a premium.

Zhuang Mengxuan was a little hesitant.

It's not that you can't accept such easy benefits, but you have to ask yourself clearly what you need to pay for them.
