The AI's commands were swiftly transmitted to every structure and machine in the factory, and the factory's defensive cannons were quickly raised, aiming at the eight giant iron birds in the sky.
Suddenly, however, a powerful signal wave burst in the sky, and in an instant, all the artillery's aiming devices became ineffective, making it impossible for them to target the invading human aircraft with radar.
"Damn it! Aim! Aim with your eyes! Shoot them all down!"
There was no other way; the AI could only make the machines aim at the gunships in the sky through visual components. However, when these gunships appeared over the city, the fuselage covered in black and red energy completely dumbfounded the AI!
This is the exact same bombing tactic as last time! Except last time there were only three bombers, while this time there are eight!
........
"We have reached the target location, and the interception target drone has been activated! Our radar jamming is working perfectly! We have successfully disabled the enemy's radar, and their aiming accuracy has now decreased by approximately 75%!"
"Iron Bird Squadron, your target is all the defensive fortifications outside the city and some of the large-scale structures. Zhu Rong Squadron, your target is all the manufacturing plants inside the city."
"Each of you, begin the operation!"
"Roger that!"
The eight gunships randomly separated and rushed toward their respective targets. The defensive artillery below was intercepted by the target drones and either exploded or disappeared in mid-air. Even if they forcibly broke through the interception range, they either missed directly or, if they hit, only splashed black and red ripples on the iron curtain.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You bunch of useless trash! Why can't you hit those guys!"
While cursing, the AI mobilized a large amount of computing power to analyze and collect data on the eight gunships in the air. At the same time, the demonic constructs that had been recalled from the factory flapped their huge wings and swooped down on the gunships in the air.
"Enemy attack! They appear to be bird-shaped constructs, flying at a relatively high speed, but we can shake them off!"
The gunship received the relevant data and analyzed the speed difference between the demonic constructs as they took off. The commander simply scoffed, "Open the machine guns on top of the fuselage and shoot all of these down! Aim for their wings!"
The fuselage on top of the gunship suddenly unfolded, and several self-defense machine guns were deployed, beginning to straf the demon constructs that were closely following behind. However, the strength of the demon constructs was somewhat beyond their expectations. The machine gun bullets that hit them only slowed them down or interfered with their movements, but failed to completely shoot them down.
At this moment, the command system of the demon constructs seemed to be online. Knowing that they were no match for the gunships, the demon constructs began to attempt to encircle them from multiple directions. Although the Iron Curtain device protected the machines from interference, if this continued, the Iron Curtain core's energy would be exhausted prematurely.
"Captain! Should we call for air support?"
At this moment, the gunship operator asked somewhat anxiously. The captain calmly pondered for a moment and then said, "Call for air support! Have them quickly cut into the battlefield and take care of these guys!"
"Roger that!"
Less than five seconds after the communication was sent, a shrill shriek suddenly came from the sky. The AI abruptly pointed its sensors at the sky, and the next moment countless missiles rained down from the sky. These missiles, with their tips flashing a faint red light, automatically tracked these demonic constructs and turned them into fireworks exploding in the air.
This sudden turn of events left the AI completely dumbfounded. Where did that missile come from? What...? At this moment, the AI realized that its radar had already been disabled by the previous signal wave! It was utterly unable to detect anything else in the sky!
But this was not the end. The aerial attack had not been dealt with. Suddenly, an abnormal spatial fluctuation warning flashed brightly red in the AI's control center.
On the plains and mountains surrounding the factory, numerous hemispherical energy shields were placed upside down on the ground. After these energy shields disappeared, a large number of tanks, fixed siege vehicles, and soldiers wearing power armor appeared.
Moreover, a large number of battlefield buildings appeared directly from the rear. These numerous human tanks, soldiers, and buildings quickly surrounded the factory, completely besieging it.
The moment they were teleported out, these tanks and soldiers attacked the constructs that were standing still without any command.
Tank shells and bullets are light, but what's most outrageous is the rear, where a mechanical construct made purely of blue energy, the Thunder Mech, after being deployed and fixed in place, fired a large number of golden light spheres into the air.
After flashing in the air for a moment, the ball of light suddenly landed in the center of the constructs, and the violent explosion instantly engulfed both the zombies and the Honkai Beasts.
"No... I can't die here... Absolutely not! I haven't... What?"
Just when the AI realized she absolutely couldn't die here and had to find a way to leave, she suddenly discovered she'd been disconnected from the internet...
That's right, the internet is down. Its network connections with other external structures, satellites outside the planet, and other factories are all disconnected!
"No...no, no! This is impossible! All of humanity's military and industrial capacity should have been destroyed by nuclear bombs! It's impossible for such a massive army to exist! This is impossible!"
The AI roared frantically, unable to comprehend where such a massive human army came from, but now, its doubts were futile.
The moment all its escape routes were cut off, its demise was already sealed.
Chapter 141: I'll just throw you away!
"The radar jamming has been successfully initiated. As long as the gunboat carrying the captain does not crash, there will be no unexpected issues with the radar jamming."
"Our forces have established a defensive line around the constructs using hyperspace teleportation, and we have cut off their network signal. They are now isolated and helpless."
"Commander Bronya, you can proceed with your decapitation operation with peace of mind. We will draw the constructs' attention, but time is limited, so please speed things up."
"Roger that. Good luck, Commander."
After the communication ended, Bronya looked behind her at Kiana and the others who were looking up at the gunships raging in the sky and said, "Are you surprised?"
"Of course! This is...this is a gunship, right? I remember these big guys are only found in the US, right? There are so many of them, and what are those shells? They're golden!"
Kiana bombarded her with two questions, and Bronya smiled and said, "That's your world. In our world, gunship technology is something that anyone can develop, but whether or not it is developed depends on its usefulness in the military."
"The reason the United States developed gunships is because it has air bases all over the world that can provide rapid support. As a heavy vehicle for air fire support, a gunship can often provide ground fire support on its own when the enemy has no air force."
"As for us, we developed it because we believe that gunships can play a crucial role in turning the tide at critical moments."
"The Iron Curtain and hyperspace navigation devices on gunships allow them to withstand anti-aircraft fire or evade radar and patrolling aircraft to enter the enemy's rear lines to carry out air strikes, creating opportunities for offensive operations on the front lines. That's all."
"Wow! Is it really that amazing?"
After listening to Bronya's explanation, Kiana could only think of the word "amazing," while Mei asked in confusion, "But with such powerful spatial teleportation technology, can't you directly teleport infiltration troops into the enemy's rear?"
Bronya smiled and said, "Having two identical tactics, one as a backup, isn't that a good thing?"
Mei was speechless. At this moment, Himeko observed the chaotic constructs outside and said, "I think it's best for us to break out now. The army seems to have caused a lot of chaos among them. Now is the best time for us to launch an attack."
Yes, this is the perfect moment for their attack. With the help of the powerful hyperspace teleportation energy fluctuations in the surrounding area, their tiny teleportation fluctuations will be concealed or ignored. Of course, there is still a possibility that they will be discovered, but so much time has passed and no construct has come straight to them.
Therefore, the likelihood of being discovered has been greatly reduced.
"Let's go. Next, we're going to take down their leader. We shouldn't miss anything this time, right?"
Himeko looked at Bronya and asked, to be honest, she was still a little unaccustomed to the Bronya in front of her, as if that... petite and cute student had suddenly grown up into a mature and beautiful woman in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, she didn't know if she could go back to that world, or what that world would be like without her.
"Okay, let's go. Don't leave the rabbit's vicinity by more than 10 meters. The range of the optical camouflage shield is very limited."
After Bronya reminded everyone not to stray too far from her, the Heavy Bunny appeared behind them, and the blue orbs on its body began to emit a faint glow.
Kiana exclaimed, "Wow! The little bunny has grown so big? By the way, have you taken your driving test yet? Another world."
Bronya paused for a moment, scratched her cheek, and asked, "Why...why would you ask that?"
"Bronya's driver's license was revoked before for speeding, illegally modifying her motorcycle, and illegal parking. She had too many violations and her license was revoked. You're not going to have yours revoked too, are you?"
Bronya shook her head. "No, I'm a law-abiding child. I only sped a few times because I was in a hurry."
"Should we not be discussing this kind of thing in this kind of setting?"
Mei covered her face speechlessly, Kiana smiled sheepishly, and Bronya chuckled, "It's alright, let's go. We were here before, and I scanned the tower's structure just in case when we left."
"It's easy for us to get up there, but I don't know if the other side will be there, so let's be fully prepared. If anything unexpected happens, don't hold back, just go all out!"
Kiana blinked and activated her ultimate skill. This was easy; activating her ultimate skill was her favorite thing to do!
Mei hesitated for a moment, "Would it be... to use the strongest move directly?"
"No, no, you don't think it's some kind of machine that can mimic humans to a high degree, do you? That's impossible. Some machines have spent thousands of years trying to mimic humans and still haven't succeeded. Are you worried about such a short time?"
"If you ask me, relax and just do what we're supposed to do. We'll just have to be flexible and adaptable when faced with danger."
Mei opened her mouth, but only managed to utter one sentence: "You are very different from what I imagined."
Bronya immediately beamed and said, "Of course, I am Bronya Zaychek, that's right. It's just that the experiences in parallel worlds are different. Even two people who start out exactly the same will eventually develop different personalities because of their surrounding environment and the people around them."
"So, let's put this topic aside for now. If you're really curious, go and take a look at our world. It's normal for the two worlds to interact, cooperate, and have people coming and going."
That topic was dropped completely. The group then advanced towards the giant tower under the cover of Little Rabbit's optical camouflage. Along the way, they saw a chaotic array of constructs, which puzzled Himeko. "Bronya, according to you, the overall commander of these constructs should be an AI, right?"
"Yes, I find it quite strange too. It's very odd that an AI would allow its subordinates to be so chaotic instead of immediately organizing an effective defensive offensive."
"Therefore, I think this AI is very likely preparing some big move, and we must be careful."
"Hehe! No matter what kind of ultimate move it's brewing up, Mei and I will use our ultimate moves together! We'll definitely be able to take it down in one hit!"
Faced with Kiana's confidence, Bronya was somewhat helpless. What she said made sense... Given Kiana and Mei's current strength, if it weren't for the constraints of the external environment and intelligence, they would have already destroyed these constructs. They wouldn't have been able to wait until now.
Chapter 142: Titan Construct
"Something's not right... It's been so long already? Why are these constructs still organizing their defenses or attacks without any discernible pattern?"
Cang Wenxuan watched the battle situation projected in the holographic image. As the commander, he was fortunate to be able to use the most advanced technology in China. He was able to monitor the entire battlefield in holographic projection at all times, and all the feedback from the troops was able to reach him immediately.
Gunships, time-space teleportation, iron curtain devices, proton cannons—these were things he had never dared to dream of before.
With the technology and equipment we currently possess, dealing with these constructs would be very simple, but... based on the information we have so far, Cang Wenxuan has a bad feeling.
According to intelligence, this time the enemy is an AI with a network-like connection, capable of efficient communication and command operations. However, the current state of the construct is puzzling to him.
Instead of demonstrating the efficient combat capabilities expected under AI command, the constructs were unusually chaotic. Once the chaotic constructs on the perimeter were cleared out, the army began preparing to enter the inner city.
Based on his battlefield intuition, Cang Wenxuan made a decision: to immediately order all troops to retreat and strengthen the defensive lines around the perimeter, absolutely forbidding any rash advances!
The advanced communication system quickly transmitted Cang Wenxuan's instructions to every soldier, and the Shenzhou army began to retreat rapidly, reorganizing its defenses at the location where the instructions had been initially transmitted.
Meanwhile, Bronya, who was advancing inside the giant tower, also received the news. "Something's wrong. Our commander suspects there are traps on the outside, so he's starting to withdraw our troops into a defensive posture."
"A trap? But we haven't seen a single construct, let alone a trap, along the way."
"This is because of the rabbit's optical camouflage, combined with my jamming device, which shields us from all machines that can sense us. There are warning devices inside the giant tower, and if we are exposed, it will trigger an attack by a large number of constructs."
"Even after the outer structures were completely destroyed, the inner structures remained in chaos. All the gunships and aircraft have also been withdrawn. Now, we are the only ones left in the inner city area."
Bronya pressed her earpiece lightly, and after a dozen seconds, she urged, "Let's speed things up. All the outer siege artillery is aimed at the inner city area. As soon as we complete our mission and leave the inner city area, the outer siege fire will open fire and raze this area to the ground."
"That definitely needs to be sped up; I don't want to get blown up by my own people..."
The group quickened their pace and soon arrived at the top floor area, which Bronya had previously visited, following the path that Bronya had continuously carved out through her invasions.
However, there was nothing there, and just as everyone was wondering, the earth suddenly shook violently.
Immediately afterward, the room began to tilt rapidly. Bronya had only briefly sensed the outside environment when she was astonished to find that the giant tower was actually collapsing!
"What happened? What's going on outside?"
Unaware of what had happened, Bronya could only seek answers from the outside world through communications. Soon, she received news that surprised her.
The central area of the mechanical city began to collapse inwards. Bronya no longer had time to listen to the messages on the communication channel. The collapsing giant tower seemed to have hit something very hard and shattered instantly. All she could do was have Little Rabbit grab everyone and protect them.
