Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 337 The First Mechanical and Electrical City Destroyed

In the data centers of various mechanical and electrical cities, information from all over the world is updated rapidly and synchronously.

[Report to the command center, the 17th Brigade of the 28nd Corps has completed the strategic strike and has broken through the "Bison County" area. The local territorial sea owner has announced his surrender. We have captured 7 mechatronic knights and illegal mechatronic life, and have taken control of mechatronic knight-related equipment and facilities. ]

[Report to the command center, the 300th Brigade of the rd Corps has completed a long-range strategic strike on "Estria", destroying two towns and one city, and annihilating more than enemy troops. The area is still resisting stubbornly.]

[Report to the command center, the 5th Brigade of the 7st Corps has completed the strategic strike and has controlled the "Ice Island" area. The local territorial waters are mainly lost overseas. We have captured mechatronic knights and illegal mechatronic lives. ]

[Report to the command center, the 2th Brigade of the 33st Corps has completed the strategic strike, and "Hardware City" has announced its surrender. We have captured mechatronic knights and illegal mechatronic lives.]

……

[Report to the command center, the strategic strike of the 2st Brigade of the 3nd Corps failed, and was blocked by the Dead Sea of the "Wasteland Development Company". 16 A-class cruisers, 600 B+-class destroyers, frigates, and more than air vehicles were lost. The flagship and command aircraft have lost contact. Request support, request support! ]

[The enemy has extremely dangerous atmospheric creatures, please be highly alert. ]

This red-marked news made all cities nervous, and they all demanded to obtain first-hand detailed battlefield information.

[We are very sorry, atmospheric organisms have the ability to destroy and shield signals, and we only obtained the initial part of the signal.]

[The reserve forces have rushed to the front line from the Energy Storage City and are collecting battlefield data and recovering and repairing the damaged combat units scattered nearby...]

Several A-level employees of the Wasteland Development Company have already made detailed file cards and assessment questionnaires and have completed targeted arrangements.

There are special weapons to deal with the condenser and the sand-controlling skeleton. There is also a full set of tactics to match the company's most famous alien control. Even the angel of death who rarely takes action has a corresponding tactical manual to deal with.

Even the extremely rare and strange life form like the Sashimi Man was not missed by the Security Department.

Its high energy state can only last for a very short time, and it is not a combat unit itself, so the range of its effectiveness is very narrow. It does not affect other scattered long-range units, and it starts a long-range bombing strike on Sand Harbor.

Without endurance, they are still not a threat to the regular army.

Given a little time and space, the United Guard can accomplish strategic bombing.

but.

Atmospheric creatures are extremely dangerous natural disasters in the open ocean.

Apart from relying on the "light banner" phenomenon to restrain and defend, there is no other effective targeted method.

Caught off guard on the battlefield, the atmospheric creatures almost single-handedly destroyed an entire well-organized brigade.

Large amounts of data are constantly synchronized and calculated, ultimately completing the information update.

[Wasteland Development Corporation's threat assessment has been raised, danger level: X]

【Holds extremely dangerous atmospheric creatures. 】

[All combat units, suspend all active military operations against the Wasteland Development Company and the Development Alliance, and wait for follow-up instructions. ]

Just as cities were trying to find a response strategy, another piece of news came.

[This is Energy Storage City. We are being invaded and attacked by the Wasteland Development Company. Requesting emergency support! Requesting emergency support! ]

【…】

[Please hold on. Combat units are being mobilized in the rear.]

【…】

[Energy storage city, energy storage city? Please answer. ]

There was no response from the other side.

At the same time, the green dot of the machine stack representing the Energy Storage City Data Center also turned gray.

……

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

After deciding to launch a strategic counterattack, Zhou Yi immediately set off, taking several A-level employees of the company and flying directly from Emerald City to Energy Storage City, 800 kilometers away.

The company lacks sufficient experience in this area of destruction.

So Zhou Yi consulted a professional.

"what?"

Miedinggong was stunned for a moment: "You want to destroy the mechanical and electrical city?"

"To be precise, the Energy Storage City."

Zhou Yi did not hide it: "Give me some professional advice. You are an expert in this area."

"..."

Miedinggong thought for a moment: "Although I have not invaded or destroyed a mechatronic city, I also know their operating mode. A mechatronic city has two major cores."

"One is the data center. Core departments such as the Program Department and the Security Department all exchange information through the data center and make decisions based on the data from the data center. The database is also here."

"The second is the dispatching center. The integration and deployment of all urban resources depends on the dispatching center, which supports all urban behaviors and activities. The natural resources dispatched here include water, land, and local minerals and raw materials, and social resources include mechanical and electrical residents, vehicles, and various materials."

“The data center is the brain, and the dispatch center is the heart.”

"If you want to destroy the electromechanical city, in theory, destroying these two places is enough to paralyze a city. However, their defenses are generally tight, especially the data center, which has the possibility of data backup and external transmission. So even if the physical building is destroyed, the internal data may escape and flow to the outside world."

"This is also the most difficult part. If we cannot handle these reborn data ghosts, relying on their strongest production capacity in this world, we can quickly reproduce an identical city."

Zhou Yi said: "Thank you."

"It's a small matter. Since the universal protocol was connected, the mechanical and electrical city has never been destroyed by external forces. I'd like to see if this iron rule of the past will be broken."

Miedinggong looked like he was having fun.

It took Emerald City two hours to fly over Energy Storage City.

This was also Zhou Yi's first time visiting this medium-sized mechanical and electrical city.

The satellite view is just a blurry mosaic because the electromechanical city is equipped with shielding equipment.

However, after lowering the altitude, the entire city unfolds before your eyes.

The ground here is planned in the shape of a huge fan, with some dense stone buildings in the center and continuous factory areas outside. The comb-like blast furnaces and huge cooling towers are spewing black and white smoke into the air.

On the crisscrossing roads, large transport trucks were hurrying, delivering all kinds of ores, soot, and amber in oil tanks to different workshops and factories. The factories had erected tall glass walls, on which were broadcasted the latest information and real-time monitoring images of mining, energy production, etc.

The city's roads connect two ports, one in the east and one in the south.

There are more than a dozen warships docked in the southern port, and there is a glowing dock where new ships are being built.

The eastern port is a transportation line, where a large number of transport ships deliver minerals collected and purchased from the outside world, and then vehicles further transport them to factories for processing and manufacturing.

As soon as the Emerald City lowered its altitude, it was immediately attacked by a swarm of drones.

They buzzed around the massive alien, issuing warnings.

"This is the airspace of Energy Storage City, leave, leave!"

Anti-aircraft guns were also set up on the ground and aimed at this side.

Zhou Yi directly summoned the curling stone.

In an instant, the atmospheric creatures spit out clouds and mist, covering the sky and the sun, enveloping most of the city.

"Cut off the connection between this place and the outside world. Don't let any information come in or out. Also, don't hunt them for now."

"Yes, Chairman."

The arrival of the atmospheric creatures immediately turned the scene into chaos. Ground vehicles quickly returned to the garage and factory area, and the mechanical and electrical life that was still active was hiding and fleeing in panic.

The skeleton Wu Yi and Jiong Hecang fell from the sky and landed on the large building in the center.

According to the Red Falcon, this is the dispatch center.

Zhou Yi asked 703 to launch an ultimatum to the entire city.

Notices appeared on each of the huge glass walls.

——All residents of Energy Storage City, for your own safety, please evacuate this city immediately.

——The army supported by this city has just invaded the Sand Harbor where we are. They have become the enemy of my Wasteland Development Company. Now we have to destroy them completely.

——Whoever continues to support the invasion of Shagang will end up like this.

——Once again, please evacuate this city immediately. If you continue to stay, you will be regarded as part of the invading army and will be destroyed without mercy.

——The countdown is 20 minutes, starting now.

Meanwhile, two A-level employees have dismantled the dispatch center.

The light knife released by Jiong Hecang easily cut through the outer shell of the building, accurately avoiding the life inside, revealing the densely packed complex equipment and wire tube instruments inside.

It initiated physical destruction of it, and small explosions began to occur within the building.

The mechanical and electrical life forms began to file out and flee in all directions.

Compared to human cities, the population density of energy storage cities is not high, and more space is occupied by various vehicles, equipment, and devices. An electromechanical life must operate multiple devices or extensions to maintain the high-speed operation of the entire city.

The residents who were now in control fled one by one, and the entire city soon came to a standstill.

Thousands of factories turned off their lights, vehicles were parked in a mess on the roadside, the city's heart stopped beating, the blood on the road stopped flowing, and the originally noisy sounds gradually disappeared.

At this time, Zhou Yi determined the location of the data center - it was underground, not far from the dispatch center.

After 703 enters, data is extracted.

Then, Ji Hecang threw a light guard here, which caused a small mushroom cloud.

Skeleton Five used sand to smash the dock into pieces, and all the equipment inside was completely destroyed and damaged. Both ports were razed to the ground by it alone.

The two A-level employees were like tigers among a flock of sheep, destroying the foundation of the city.

The various ships had long since disappeared without a trace.

In the process of destruction, the huge energy storage city was only resisted by some drone guards and anti-aircraft guns - they were quite strong and could reach level B.

There was absolutely no other mechanical lifeforms to fight back or fight.

Without external support in the data field, the entire city is just a giant empty shell with only its shape. It looks mighty and majestic, but in fact it will fall down at the slightest touch.

The entire destruction process was so easy that even Zhou Yi found it unbelievable.

But he soon understood.

In order to maintain long-term stable rule, the mechanical and electrical city squeezes the productivity of every mechanical and electrical resident and creates a fragmented social structure with universal protocols.

Everyone has no power and no sense of responsibility. Apart from their job functions, there is no real cohesion and order is maintained only by the inertia of work.

No matter how magnificent and grand this sand castle is, it will be scattered by water.

In terms of objective factors, the key is to cut off the information interaction that the mechanical and electrical city relies on most.

In an isolated island environment, a single electromechanical city has no absolute leader, insufficient mobilization capabilities, and lacks the ability to deal with emergencies of this level.

Zhou Yi looked at the black water ghost on his wrist.

"It's almost time."

"This place is yours, hunt freely."

Get authorized.

Atmospheric creatures descended from the sky, and the entire city became a cloud kingdom.

Inside the Emerald City.

The Red Falcon's electronic eyes flashed red. "A city with well-developed industries just ceased to exist... It's a pity for the fruits of the labor of many mechanical and electrical life."

Zhou Yi looked down at everything on the ground, but he felt no regret at all.

Being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.

If you dare to support the war, you must be prepared for the war to spread to you.
