With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 178 "Everything is normal"

a little busy?
Xu Huai stared blankly at the picture in the holographic projection, swallowing the words that came to his lips with difficulty.

You call this a bit busy?

If she had read correctly just now, an omnic drone had rushed to the porthole window of the bulldozer control room, right? !
After the communication ended, the holographic image in front of him did not dissipate, and the silver-white spherical detection drone still hovered silently in front of Xu Huai.

After a short wait, the holographic projection began to play the scene taken not long ago over Varela City.

Outside Varela City, which is surrounded by a circular city wall, a faint cold light shines like star points in the lush forest.

As the camera kept zooming in, those star-like cold lights revealed their true appearance:

Omnic!

An omnimachine of extremely large scale!
Humanoid, spider-shaped, dog-shaped...

Each omnic has a unique shape, and some of them are heavy-duty omnics that are as big as a Hercules bulldozer!
Under the sun, these omnics walking through the dense forest shone with a cold and biting silvery white luster, and the mechanical beauty was vividly reflected on them!

What a joke.

There is a big daddy in the team who can lead the team to score steadily in 1v5, do you still have any opinions?
After obtaining Xu Huai's consent, Yi officially began to take over the control of Varela City.

She took a breath: "Hiss..."

"Of course not!" Xu Huai replied hurriedly.

Xu Huai's eyes lit up: "One?!"

With thousands of omnic drones without any logistical support and some survivors from Kukan Dungeon who are not very capable in combat, can Varela City really hold on until Chen Fan arrives on the battlefield?

The industrial production base is located inside the Forest of Sighs.

As a familiar electronic synthesized sound sounded in the North Church, Xu Huai's originally heavy mood instantly became lighter.

At this moment, she suddenly understood the result of Yi's calculation - facing such a large-scale omnic, the fact that the Wall of Sighs could last for thirty minutes was already quite an astonishing achievement!
Thinking like this, the worry in Xu Huai's eyes increased a lot again.

Although Yi could directly override Xu Huai's authority and directly control the entire city of Varela, considering Xu Huai's status as pope, Yi still asked her.

The city-defending drone group that was automatically performing inspection missions according to the program near the Wall of Sighs suddenly stopped in place.

After a short wait, the city-defending drones that received the new order quickly dispersed and flew towards the fledgling industrial production base in Varela City with a clear purpose.

"It's me." The electronically synthesized voice admitted his identity, "In order to ensure the safety of Varela City as much as possible, all defense work in Varela City will be taken over by this unit. Do you have any objection?"

"so much?!"

Xu Huai doesn't know.

"Xu Huai, can you hear me?"

To be precise, she didn't dare to face the answer in her heart.

The worry in Xu Huai's heart did not last long——

This is the first time she has encountered such a difficult situation since becoming pope.

Looking at the holographic projection in front of him, Xu Huai's effort to remain calm was finally broken.

Let’s not talk about the situation on Chen Fan’s side.

In addition to the metal smelting and forging production lines, there are also some basic weapons factories that manufacture gunpowder.

Although the output is very low, it can be considered to have made great progress compared with the previous Varela City in the agricultural era.

With the orders issued one after another, the efficiency of the industrial production base has been greatly improved.

The omnic tide has not yet launched an attack on Varela City. What needs to be done now is to ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition as much as possible!
Therefore, under Yi's precise control, thousands of city-defending drones transformed into transport brigades, constantly traveling back and forth between the industrial production base and the Wall of Sighs.

Looking at the instructions flashing across the screen, Xu Huai asked in a low voice: "One, how is the situation with Chen Fan...?"

"everything is normal."

……

"……normal?!"

Chen Fan's somewhat broken voice came from the top of the Hercules bulldozer: "You call this normal when you are riding a horse?!"

"Of course." A synthesized electronic voice sounded in Chen Fan's ears, "Relying on numerical superiority to carry out saturation attacks on enemy targets, this is how artificial intelligence has always been used in combat."

"I understand the truth, but..."

Chen Fan, who climbed onto the top of the Hercules bulldozer with the help of a mechanical exoskeleton, swallowed hard: "Isn't this numerical advantage too big?!"

The endless drones are like swarms of locusts that cover the sky, swooping towards the Hercules bulldozer.

The bullets fired by the electromagnetic cannon were like a heavy rain, wildly shooting at the area where the Hercules bulldozer was located, and splashed circles of ripples like water waves on a layer of light, almost transparent individual protective force field.

hum! !

Two deep purple laser beams were shot from the self-propelled floating cannon beside them and penetrated directly into the drone group.

boom! boom! ! boom! ! !

Two strings of explosive flames burst out among the drones!
Two straight vacuum areas instantly appeared inside the originally dense group of drones, but the next second, these two vacuum areas were filled again by the surrounding drones!

As soon as Chen Fan thought, the plasma cannon installed on the arm of the mechanical exoskeleton sprayed forward blue plasma cannonballs.

Not only that, he raised his left arm and threw several plasma grenades directly into the air in front of him. Now, he no longer needs the aiming assist function.

To exaggerate, even if he throws a brick casually, he can knock down two omnic drones!

The roar of plasma grenades sounded, and scorching fireballs composed of high-temperature plasma appeared above the bulldozer, rapidly devouring the surrounding omni-mechanical drones as they expanded.

but……

Based on naked eye observation, the number of drones surrounding the Hercules bulldozers has not diminished.

On the contrary, the number of drones in front of you is even increasing!
"One, [Chain Thunderstorm]!"

Following Chen Fan's low shout, two self-propelled floating cannons that continuously fired lasers quickly took off and shuttled quickly inside the dense drone group.

Pale blue clouds gradually appeared above the Hercules bulldozer.

"[Chain Thunderstorm] preparations have been completed."

The moment the electronic synthesized sound sounded, Chen Fan did not hesitate at all and directly gave the order: "Release!!"

hum! ! !
Two strange plasma arcs burst out from the floating cannon at the same time, instantly detonating the light blue cloud!
Golden arcs danced rapidly in this small thunder pool, attacking the omnic drones inside it indiscriminately!
At this moment, the Hercules bulldozer was like Thor's vehicle, rushing out of the thunderstorm under the protection of the personal protective force field!
Clear the screen with one click!
Amidst the violent explosions, drone wreckage of various sizes fell to the ground one after another, and were crushed into pulpy debris by the bulldozer's tracks.

The thunderstorm gradually dissipated, and the number of drone swarms quickly declined.

but……

Good times are not long.

As the sirens kept sounding, endless omnic drones rushed in from all directions!
The blue sky was gradually submerged by the swarm of silver-white drones, and finally completely disappeared before Chen Fan's eyes.

"Damn..."

Chen Fan cursed in a low voice.

If it weren't for the fact that the personal protective force field couldn't withstand the anti-matter bomb that exploded close to his face, he would have even wanted to throw an anti-matter bomb at his feet!

"You have a new interuniverse broadcast communication request."

Just as Chen Fan was in a panic, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in his ears: "Correspondent: Intern Academician Song Ziliang."

"Academician Song?"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then pulled the trigger again and fired a string of plasma cannonballs towards the dense group of drones: "He is really good at timing!"

"How long have you been riding horses? Why are you still making long-distance calls here?"

Just when Chen Fan was about to reject this cross-universe communication, Yi's voice sounded again: "This communication has a higher priority. Investigators are requested to answer it as soon as possible."

"..."

Chen Fan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, commanding the self-propelled floating turret to release [Chain Thunderstorm], and pressed the answer button.

"There's good news...wtf?!"

Song Ziliang was obviously startled by the situation around Chen Fan: "What's the situation over there?!"

"what's the situation?"

Chen Fan once again issued the order to release [Chain Thunderstorm]: "Can't you see it yet? The labor and management were caught by that artificial intelligence, and they are now fighting with each other!"

Seeing the arc of electricity beating constantly above Chen Fan's head, Song Ziliang swallowed hard.

"What's the matter? I'll hang up if nothing happens!" Chen Fan's tone was a little urgent, "There are more and more omnic drones, isn't there any AOE weapon more powerful than [Chain Thunderstorm]?"

"Where's your antimatter bomb?"

"Fuck, don't mention it, it's already used up."

"……what?!"

Song Ziliang was stunned for Chen Fan's answer: "You have used all eleven anti-matter bombs?"

"Nonsense!" Chen Fan swept out a bunch of plasma cannons angrily, "Who can use the quota?"

Song Ziliang couldn't help but fell into silence.

Is it possible that you are the only one who thinks eleven antimatter bombs are less?

Who would a newly promoted official investigator use an anti-matter bomb like this? !
"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, please don't disturb my work."

"When the starships arrive, we must let these omnics experience the feeling of saturation fire bombing!"

Hearing this, Song Ziliang coughed lightly: "You are lucky, you will feel this feeling soon."

This time, it was Chen Fan's turn to be stunned: "...Ah?!"

After a short reaction time, Chen Fan suddenly showed a complex look of surprise on his face: "You mean..."

Song Ziliang cleared his throat and straightened his expression: "Yes, the last small wormhole stability test has reached the standard."

"Congratulations, your investigator starship has entered the shipping process and is expected to arrive at your coordinates in three minutes."

"Investigator Chen Fan, please be ready to sign for it."
