Cyber Heroes

#1205 - Beyond the Karman Lines (Part 5) Heroic

Niaguti's sense of the battlefield allowed her to "read" the changes on the battlefield half a second later.

The entire battlefield was originally as tight as a machine. The protectors of each unit cooperated seamlessly to form a tight defense line. Even a warrior of the first level would find it difficult to gain any advantage, and it was difficult to divide the battlefield into "multiple one-on-ones".

But now, it was as if another invisible hand was sweeping across the battlefield, causing the array of protectors to begin to fall apart...

Strictly speaking, it is not "starting to scatter". The array itself is constantly changing. Bai Man took the initiative to destroy nearly half of the magnetic field-guided drones, and the method of overloading laser naval guns to evaporate all space junk cannot last long. Even without the knight, ordinary combat units still need to dodge the space junk that passes through the battlefield at high speed from time to time.

Not to mention that the knight has already cut into the fleet's formation.

But what they are facing now seems to be more than just a “lack of command”.

The two internal masters collided head-on in the command system of the Protector. The delayed intelligence and instructions were enough to disrupt the rapid response of the huge array.

At the edge of the battlefield, a knight's core silently overheated and melted. In the attack of the Speed ​​King just now, he didn't even take a single blow, and was directly cut in half, losing most of his ability to move. The knight originally wanted to help the God of War to share some of the pressure. Unfortunately, internal strength is different from external strength. A single move can make a world of difference, and life and death can be decided immediately.

Nia Guti did not intend to use internal energy to fight Hartman. She instantly judged that Xiangshan was at a disadvantage. Without any hesitation, she raised her arm and launched the EMP. A stream of plasma was sent out from the reactor and introduced into the special cavity, vibrating at high speed.

For the warriors of the First Heaven, triggering an EMP has never been a difficult task. In the atmosphere, the warriors of the First Heaven can use the byproducts of the reactor to directly ionize the air, and then use the earth's magnetic field to generate an EMP storm. In the vacuum, the warriors of the First Heaven also have other means. However, all these means have limitations of one kind or another, and are not as straightforward as in the atmosphere.

A hot missile shot out from behind Nia Guti's shoulder. The material inside this missile can absorb a lot of heat through phase change. The heat dissipation system will gather a lot of waste heat on it. These high-density materials with nanostructures have extremely high latent heat. Each gram can absorb nearly 4,000 joules of heat energy, but it can hardly be recycled.

For a First Heaven artificial body equipped with a reactor, its endurance in space combat is no longer determined by energy, but everything else besides energy - heat dissipation, material fatigue, carrying ammunition and everything else.

Without a natural heat dissipation channel like "air", all machines can only rely on heat radiation to dissipate heat. And combat prostheses lack the room to deploy heat sinks. In high-intensity combat, launching a long-term EMP shock will reduce its own endurance.

But Nia Guti has now completely given up on this consideration. The knights present probably have a longer endurance than their lives, so it seems that there is no need to worry. She forcefully blocked the signal around Xiangshan, then rushed over, pulled Xiangshan up and accelerated, avoiding the oncoming artillery fire.

[Are you crazy?] Nia Guti immediately established a laser channel and roared at Xiangshan's consciousness, [Do you think Xinyu is still here? How dare you provoke Hartman at this distance?]

In a vacuum environment, without atmospheric disturbances, laser communications will be more stable. Fleet combat groups can establish a stable laser communication network, and the electromagnetic protection level of warships is also difficult to be penetrated by non-specialized prostheses. Knights will be more cautious in using EMP, and basically only use it when fighting against small groups of troops.

Xiangshan only said to Niagudi: [Don't worry about me, seize the opportunity to kill the old dog, or destroy the mothership. At least do one of the two things. Also, don't take me with you. You were attacked by the falcon, and your power is damaged. If you continue to drag me, we will both die together. Stop EMP. ]

More non-verbal data was also transmitted to Niaguti along the channel.

Nia Guti looked at Xiang Shan deeply, then kicked him out.

A missile passed through the two of them. Xiangshan swung his sword with his one arm and destroyed the warhead of the missile.

Nia Guti was met by a First Heaven officer.

Plans can't always go smoothly. No matter how great a commander is, there will inevitably be times when "nothing can be done". In such cases, there must be a "last resort".

One of the contingency plans decided by Nia Guti and Yang Zhenhao beforehand. If the enemy's strength exceeds expectations - for example, Yawgmoth secretly dispatches more forces than planned - then the fleet should be destroyed as much as possible, and it is best to abolish the fleet's close-range combat capability or surface combat capability.

If the ground observes that the fleet has suffered serious damage, Yang Zhenhao can also try to organize the Earth Knights to launch the next wave of attacks.

Hartman was about to go to the battlefield in the Jupiter space domain. In a short period of time, the only force that could suppress the Earth's protectors was still this fleet. Whether Yang Zhenhao could turn the tables after losing the space elevator depended on how well these knights could fight.

--bring it on!

Niagudi took on the enemy.

…………………………

Xiangshan's consciousness was divided into two parts, one part was used to assist the AI ​​in analyzing the battlefield situation and performing limited maneuvers and evasion, while the other half was used to confront Hartmann head-on.

The electronic signals related to the inner strength have connected almost all the functional areas of Xiangshan's brain. Vision, hearing, smell, touch, as well as language, images, melody, joy, anger, sadness, love, hatred... almost all forms of perception have been aroused.

Hartman's inner strength, like a formless and free-changing demon, stimulated almost all of Xiangshan's senses. These were not meaningless hallucinations, but meaningful electronic signals. The various demonic obstacles in subjective feelings were just a "form of expression" - because the operating environment of the human brain and the computer itself was very different.

The sky was like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, the sunlight was like flowers blooming, and the stars were smudged in the sky like blood.

The enemies in front of him all turned into the appearance of gods and Buddhas, but it was like looking at flowers in the fog and he couldn't see the real details clearly.

"What a rubbish illusion..." Beta's Xiangshan - Xiangshan who possesses the eighth martial god skill, finds joy in suffering.

As early as the moment he separated from Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi, Xiangshan switched his dominant personality and used artificial neural circuits to adjust his thinking to a state that was more suitable for internal strength.

——Slightly inferior to Hartmann...but...strategic goal...

Two silent flashes of light, four kilometers away, two fighter planes hit each other.

There were three "bang, bang, bang" sounds. Inside the battleship, three devices overloaded one after another.

Hartmann had already realized that this martial god was not easy to deal with, so he began to shift his attention from commanding the troops to the battlefield of internal strength.

Bai Man kept swinging his fists. Without the main thruster, he could no longer move at high speed in space. He used his claws to grab the enemy of the first layer and forced them to fight him in close combat to avoid the bombardment of the ship's guns. He killed an officer, but also lost an arm.

However, the fighter formation that was encircling him from behind did not seize the best opportunity to attack.

Bai Man swung out his grappling hook and approached a warship.

On the other side of the battlefield, Tolstoy, who had completely lost his fighting ability, did not hesitate to hack into the ordinary soldiers who tried to capture him. As a knight of the north, he actually focused more on internal strength.

——Even a little bit is fine, as long as it can attract Hartmann's attention a little bit...

He used all the spells he knew, released all the poisons he controlled, and used attacks to test the enemy's safety defenses.

——A little bit...if I am lucky enough to see it...

This was the knight's last consciousness.

When the soldier captured the knight's half-body in a net bag, the biological brain inside had already died from overheating.

Xiangshan even had hallucinations, the illusion that he was crying.

Among the many hallucinations, Xiangshan saw Yawgmoth.

This time it was not Yawgmoth who successfully hacked in, but the signal that flowed in along with Hartman's hacking, which transmitted Yawgmoth's words, and Xiangshan's brain extracted the model from the memory and rendered the dialogue scene.

The hallucination of Yawgmoth showed a man in his twenties, slightly thin, with high cheekbones, and half-long black hair that was a little messy and unkempt.

There was undisguised mockery and malice between his eyebrows.

"You've already realized the mistakes of your actions, so why did you come back to life and continue fighting?" Yawgmoth asked. "Since you really look like that guy, I came here to ask you. I think the answer given by the AI ​​is partly fabricated. Hartman has confirmed your biological brain, and I want to see what you have to say."

The personality mask "Beta" that controls the biological brain did not process the conversation, and in the electronic device, the personality mask of Jichu Xiangshan was regenerated. He thought purely with electronic components and asked back: "Don't you realize the mistake of your behavior, but you still want to go against it?"

"You must have heard of this saying, 'The Qin Dynasty's political system has been followed for hundreds of generations, while Confucius' teachings are just chaff in reality.' I vaguely remember that you taught me this when I was learning Chinese," Yawgmoth said. "After thousands of years, people will judge our merits and demerits. I feel sick at the thought of being judged by ignorant monkeys, so I clear out the fools in advance. That's all."

"This sentence actually borrows ancient history to allude to current politics, telling the story of anti-tradition and reform. I didn't expect you to find emotional resonance in such a rare tyrant...hiss, rare in the ages seems a bit too much, the one who came eighty years later was also quite violent. But I think that their combined level of violence is not even one ten-thousandth as bad as yours, Yawgmoth." Xiangshan shook his head, feeling sick, "Let me teach you a lesson and teach you some history."

"Since you have compared yourself to a tyrant whose 'merits will be passed down through the ages', let me tell you another prophecy that has already come true - 'Even if there are only three households left in Chu, it will be Chu that will destroy Qin.' It only took the people of Chu three years to overthrow the tyrant's country."

"Even if you win, you will thank me, and even thousands of years later, there will be people praising my rule." Yawgmoth didn't care, "Because I have cleared all the 'undeads'. The blank human culture can freely build a new ideology. Even if I die now, this fact is already beautiful enough, isn't it?"

Yawgmoth lowered his head: "My homeland... the place you think has 'some merits' is worthless garbage in my heart. It was built so late, and it is separated from the Old World - this may be the only chance for mankind to 'rebuild a new world'. But mankind has once again wasted this opportunity, and the most idiotic thoughts of the Old World have followed it like a nightmare..."

"Ha." Xiangshan actually laughed. "Although you call that country 'useless garbage', aren't you still restoring the historical trajectory of that country?"

"What's the meaning?"

"'The New World is a blank', where did the indigenous people of the private land come from? Did they immigrate there after the founding of the United States? Didn't you teach in elementary school to respect indigenous people? This is too wrong, isn't it?" Xiangshan's words were full of mockery, "You are still so good at killing all the original residents of an area, but the scope of your execution this time is unprecedented. With your appearance, you still think you are not affected by the 'undead'? Come on."

Yawgmoth was silent for a moment, and then the illusion disappeared.

The next moment, Xiangshan saw a flash of light.

……………………………………………………

Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi's thermal energy sword once again met the missile and narrowly destroyed the warhead before Zhuan Leibin detonated.

But as a price to pay, he was knocked flying sideways by a punch from Juan Repin who was charging at high speed.

Tuoba Xuanyuan 14 had already given up his legs. Although the Tenth Martial God often taught his disciples that "legs can be just decorations", in close combat, legs still have certain tactical value.

Tuoba Xuanyuan Fourteen had lost a large amount of external equipment and part of his armor in the previous attack by the Speed ​​King, and the accumulation of waste heat in his body was also approaching its limit.

His fighting time is approaching its limit.

The parameters of King Romance's prosthetic body are also higher than Tuoba Xuanyuan Fourteen. With every head-on collision, Tuoba will retreat, and his joints will tremble strangely.

Tuoba Xuanyuan 14 retreated quickly, but King Romance did not give him a chance to escape, and just held on to Tuoba Xuanyuan 14. The two men were like two streams of light, floating and swimming in the battlefield, colliding from time to time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

——Can win…

Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi became more and more excited as he looked at the wounds on Zhu Anleibin's body.

Juan Repin was not well-known among the kings, nor did he have any special skills. Among the many "war heroes" of the old times, he was only "stable", so he was entrusted with the responsibility of "guarding the gene pool".

Of course, of course, compared to ordinary warriors, Juan Leibin is terribly strong. The most advanced prosthesis, the solid basic skills brought by two hundred years of hard training, and the martial arts collected from the entire network and optimized by vast computing power, when all these factors are concentrated in one individual, no matter how stupid this individual is, he can destroy all the countries of the old era alone.

but……

——After seeing the Speed ​​King, how could I feel fear when looking at this guy?

——If the Speed ​​King is a solar flare, then this guy Juan Leipin... might be as difficult as the Great Red Spot!

Tuoba Xuanyuan 14 seemed to feel the wind of his hometown. He once hovered at the edge of the Great Red Spot, looking far away at the area that the people on Earth regarded as the Eye of Hell. When he was young, he vowed to conquer that place.

This is the feeling Juan Leipin gave him, all-round strength.

But this power is a "crown" that is within reach for the great hero "Regolos"!

The heat sword flashed, and a beam of incandescent light exploded from Juan Leibin's chest again. Juan Leibin dodged in time and was not hurt.

——The damage to the weapons was too severe...

There are too many things I don't understand. There are too many strange things about this warrior, and this one is not the worst.

According to common sense, this warrior should have been killed by Juan Leibin long ago. His parameters were all behind. Even if he was better in martial arts, "falling into a trap" would always affect morale and performance. But this guy showed amazing resilience. Juan Leibin thought he was going to win several times, but he was outlasted.

The scars on both of them continued to increase.

In the fierce battle, Tuoba Xuanyuanshisi's "self" seemed to begin to dissolve, and his consciousness gave way to "martial arts". He seemed to have returned to his hometown, to the endless storm. The enemy's fists and missiles, and Jupiter's violent hurricane seemed to gradually overlap in his eyes.

——I’m going to break out of the Great Red Spot…

Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi raised the thermal energy sword.

Then, a beam of light.

The invisible gun's existence can only be proven by the ionized matter in its path.

It was like the attack that the Ninth Martial God had faced before.

Tuoba Xuanyuan 14 was vaporized. At that moment, he became the brightest star on the battlefield. The extremely short reflectivity of Sagittarius's outer armor caused Juan Leibin to suffer splash damage, and the front prosthetic eye and multiple laser weapons were directly burned.

"Tuoba..." Xiangshan's mind was shaken, and he suddenly collapsed in the attack and defense of his internal strength. King Agni saw the flaw and attacked him through the back door.

On the belly of the mothership, a gun barrel slowly closed. It was a snake-shaped mechanical structure, with a large laser emitter at the end. The protective structure like a dragon snake's muzzle slowly closed, hiding the laser emitter that was entering the heat dissipation state.

The huge thing slowly separated from the mothership. It is said that there was a bird in ancient times that laid eggs that were close to its own size. This scene is very similar, but the thing under the mothership is not an egg, but a "monster". The spherical fortress hides a huge battleship-class reactor. On both sides of the fortress, there are giant wing-shaped jet groups, and there are also three dragon-snake-shaped laser turrets.

"Fortress-type prosthesis, 'cybernetic corpse'." Yawgmoth spread his wings, and a large amount of fuel gushed out from the wing-shaped jet group. He approached Xiangshan and said, "You can try to kill me."

Xiangshan was firmly controlled by Hartmann at this moment.

Hartman was certain that Xiangshan's creature was in that body. He even gave up commanding his troops and let the knights charge in. Xiangshan fought back with all his might.

As Yawgmoth approached, he said, "You are a coward. You don't understand anything. You have been avoiding problems for two hundred years by using death as an excuse. Your failure two hundred years ago was due to your lack of courage. Ah, no, no, no, think about it. Actually, you were very lacking in courage two hundred years ago, weren't you?"

"You, you have been on guard since the beginning of the rebellion. Have you completely lost confidence because of the thieves? What did you advocate a long time ago? The greatest warriors don't hold guns in their own hands, right? But you created cyber martial arts and welded the gun to your own hand, didn't you? No matter how it develops, the most cost-effective way for an organization to fight is to let their core backbones fight on the front line - it is difficult for such an organization to create a new structure, right?"

—Ha, this idiot’s soul is so weak that he has to debate with an opponent who can’t talk back.

Xiangshan stared at Yawgmoth and actually felt a sense of contempt in his heart.

The original conception of the Way of Chivalry was "discarded after the thief of the country was eliminated", nothing more. It was Yawgmoth's betrayal that prolonged its life. It did exceed its service life, and the Fourth Martial God tried to make changes. I, who had just awakened, was also quite puzzled by the community structure such as the "faction" created by the Fourth Martial God. But it has been used up to this day after being repaired.

At the beginning, it was forced. It was a group of geeks who were desperate and used the most familiar method to quickly gain military power. That's all.

This former knight, this current tyrant, actually forgot even this.

He even lost interest in arguing.

The huge dragon's mouth lowered and landed in front of Xiangshan.

"You are such a coward. Not only did you start to guard against yourself before you won, you even guarded against the people you trusted the most. I even dug out the contingency plan you had in mind from your memory two hundred years ago. It was used to hunt down masters of inner strength in urban environments. Who were you guarding against? Hartmann would never go to an urban environment. You actually designed a combat plan against your comrades in your heart..."

"I don't remember much," Xiangshan replied, "but it's obvious that my plan was not enough."

The dragon head opened its mouth, revealing a laser-emitting component that looked like an artificial gem.

A ray of light engulfed Xiangshan, who was using Bodhidharma's celestial body.

"The God of War has been defeated again." Yawgmoth sneered.

The space fortress-type cyborg shook its body and looked at Nia Guti.

Niaguti killed the last enemy beside him. For a short time, no one else dared to approach. Although Niaguti was covered with wounds, he still retained the most basic ability to move.

Looking at Yawgmoth, Niagudi said self-deprecatingly: "I wish I had as many plans as Xiangshan did two hundred years ago. What he said in the end was quite right. It's not enough."

Nyaguti rushed towards Yawgmoth.

The laser emitters in various parts of the fortress-type prosthesis accumulate energy and then scan the surroundings in all directions.

The power of these close-in defense weapons is certainly far inferior to that of main guns, but they are enough to destroy a single aircraft.

Looking at the half-broken body of Niaguti, a sneer came from Yawgmoth's signal.

At this moment, a hook silently grabbed onto this huge fortress-like prosthesis.

In the darkness, Xiangshan locked onto his greatest enemy.

"You didn't expect that, Yawgmoth!"

I have revised it several times, but I am still not very satisfied with it. Tuoba Xuanyuan Shisi's sacrifice here, and Yawgmoth's ugly appearance, do not seem to be perfect.
