Chapter 180 Cyberpunk World Players
Of course, he did not respond to these unknown letters. It was meaningless and it was impossible to ask questions through these purposeful people.
The battle in the fortress continued. Through various electronic systems, details of the frontline battles were continuously transmitted to him, allowing him to clearly understand the situation on the frontline without leaving home.
The unprepared security brigade of the so-called Swordfish Branch had no resistance in the face of their main invasion. After being defeated by the two brigade in front, no new resistance was seen. The troops successfully entered the city and began to clear out the scattered resistance. .
There are no defenders in the city. They are mainly some sporadic robot military police who automatically counterattack, or some low-level gangsters who take advantage of the war to cause chaos everywhere.
They wear coats or jackets, have hair cut in various ways, and dyed in extremely bright colors. Many of them wear smoky makeup, have various metal ornaments hanging on their bodies, and hold machetes or various weapons. Many of them have mechanically modified parts of their bodies.
Taking advantage of the lack of military and police control during the war, they rushed into the chaotic streets in groups, whistling and riding in variously modified vehicles, wreaking havoc and snatching property everywhere.
This kind of low-level people were called gangsters in ancient times, and they can be found everywhere.
Even in the prosperous urban planets of the United Empire of Man, even if various welfare benefits are enough to ensure that no one will starve to death, there are always some thrill-seeking or other gangsters who wander on the edge of the law.
These people wantonly destroyed, killed, and robbed under the guise of welcoming the invaders.
For such people, Li Qing just coldly issued a supplementary order to the three commanders:
"Anyone who disrupts order and creates chaos will be executed on the spot!"
"Bang!"
Less than ten seconds after he issued the order, the fastest-responding robot commando launched an attack on a group of gangsters who were smashing the door in front of them. The three gangsters who were smashing the door were beaten into a sieve with a uniform concentrated fire.
In less than ten minutes, the gangsters who were still wandering on the edge of the occupied neighborhood were easily suppressed.
As time went by, a steady stream of ground troops entered the battlefield. In the second hour of the war, about 200,000 ground troops had been invested in the three major battlefields. They had completed the defeat of the current city defenders and established a stable bridgehead. .
Then, with the bridgehead as the center, block by block, building by building, we begin to surround and then clear out. Every time we occupy an area, all network signals in this area will be cut off, blocking the enemy's signals.
This tactic mainly relies on the fact that the defense may come from the control of the core of the fortress. Although the fortress seems to have been abandoned and lost its combat capability, the interior may not be completely damaged. There is no guarantee that many functions inside can still be used. If they wait for them to fully land, If it starts suddenly, it will be dangerous.
The war against the current city lasted for a full week before the entire city was completely captured.
After it was determined that all lines in the entire city were disconnected and the city became an island on the network, Li Qing ordered the troops to drive out the residents in the city and concentrate them in the center of the city.
Then
In the center of the city, the super-giant building with a ten-kilometer-high ceiling and a ground floor had been completely occupied by the troops.
A large number of civilians were driven out and walked along the streets towards dozens of large squares in the city. Looking down from a high altitude, they looked like lines of people swimming.
Ground streets, middle-level suspended streets, and upper-level suspended streets, all different classes of human beings were violently driven out, and those who did not cooperate were shot on the spot.
When Li Qing arrived at the central square, dense crowds of people had gathered in the square.
Prosthetic bodies full of cybernetic style appear on every human body. The body, arms, eyes, ears, mouth and even the whole body bones, various internal organs and other parts are replaced by mechanical organs, and the flesh and blood body is combined with cold metal.
A cyberpunk style that he had only seen in movies and games came over him, making him feel an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
The direct subjects of the Star Sea Lords, who once dominated the Star Sea and had a sixth-level technological civilization, have degenerated to this point today, seven thousand years later.
Li Qing is certain that their technology has greatly degraded. Although he does not understand the route of mechanical ascension, he can also see the strength and weakness. The power of the mechanical prosthetics and weapons of the civilians in front of him is about the same as the average human technological level. big.
He was sizing up these civilians. Among the civilians, there were many figures with player identities who were watching around in the potential crowd. At the same time, they were communicating with each other in the channel that only players could enter.
"There is something about this army. It looks so strong. Moreover, they actually used clones to form an army. This is too extravagant. Which group does this belong to? Is biotechnology so important?"
< br>
"I have never heard of it. It is said that although Perfect Biotech Group, which has the strongest biotechnology, can produce complete human clones, the cost is very high."
"Then the strongest biological group in Cybertron is no longer the perfect biological group. This unknown force has completely destroyed them."
"Do you think there is a possibility that this unknown army actually belongs to the Perfect Biological Group? Their biogenetic technology has made breakthrough progress recently."
Someone immediately denied it:
"Impossible. With the greed of capital, they can't do this. If they have good technology and more advanced technology, they must keep it as a backup. A clone sells for up to 5 million star yuan. How can they be willing to use it to form an army? Apart from this, Reducing the quality of your own products has no effect whatsoever.”
At this time, Li Qing asked from behind:
"Are there very few clones here?"
Lu Yu looked at the garbled code displayed on the light screen in front of him. It was obviously just a garbled code on the player's channel, but it exuded an aura that was incompatible with this world. With just one glance, he knew that this garbled code did not belong to his world.
Like all players who saw this gibberish, the biggest reason for Lu Yu's silence was fear.
If it is true that NPC civilians do not know the past history, players can communicate with player channels that are not controlled by group capital, and their cultural heritage has not been cut off. Of course, they know what the string of garbled characters in front of them represents.
According to the exclusive nature of the local system, once a string of garbled codes appears, it means that an outsider has entered.
This makes them not only curious but also afraid.
I’m curious which alien player civilization is here, and whether it’s human.
Fear is the fear that the coming person is a foreign player civilization, if it is
They know very well what the situation in Cybertron is like. If an alien player civilization discovers them, there will be only one consequence.
'die! ’
There is no other possibility.
If it is just a foreigner, there may be a chance to become a slave, but if it is a foreigner player, there is no other possibility but death.
Don't say that if the ground troops are clones, they will definitely be human players. Using human clones to confuse them is also one of the tactics. It can only be said that it is very likely that they will be human players, but it is not absolute.
At this moment, the name of a golden emblem suddenly appeared below the post that had been interrupted for a long time, and answered the pair of garbled characters:
"Dear Sir, I am Chang Jianlong, CEO of Undertide Group. I would like to welcome you on behalf of the world of Cybertron."
Li Qing pinched his chin and thought for a while, then responded:
"I don't think you welcome me here."
Without waiting for his response, Li Qing continued:
"But whether it's true or false, it actually doesn't make sense to me. I also know your purpose, so I can tell you now that I am a human player, a member of your race."
As soon as these words were spoken, the thousands of players who were silently paying attention in the channel showed shocked expressions, and an inexplicable feeling swept through their brains or consciousness chips.
After the initial shock, Chang Jianlong, CEO of Undertide Group, quickly turned his head and said in an excited tone:
"I never expected that I could finally see other members of my race after being lost for seven thousand years. This is the luck of my generation. I wonder where you come from. Has the United Empire expanded here?"
Under him, many questions immediately appeared. Many IDs with bronze or silver badges that had never been seen before appeared, and various inquiries came in an endless stream.
Li Qing looked expressionlessly at these questions and the communication requests from several gold names in the private chat. Shao Qing smiled slightly and said:
"It doesn't need to be so complicated, I can answer you one by one."
"I come from the United Empire of Humanity. I was born in the Li family in Qinghe. I am now the Lord of Jialan Territory and a member of the Senate of the United Empire of Humanity. However, this does not mean much to you, and there is no need for me to explain it in detail. I will only tell you that from now on Three hours ago, I started a full-scale landing operation against the mobile fortress where you are."
Ignoring a series of shocking questions, he continued:
"I will send a huge army to land on this fortress one after another, bulldoze all the resisters, completely conquer you, seize this mobile fortress, and bring you under my rule."
There was a long silence, everyone was shocked by the news.
A few people with an ID without a badge asked:
"I wonder what our fate will be if you conquer us?"
Li Qing replied:
"We are all human beings and have the same inheritance. Although I can't make any promises now, do you think there is anything worse than your current situation?"
"Crazy, decadent, closed, without hope, without goals, spending your whole life huddled in this small fortress like a tomb, with no freedom and no self from birth to death. Do you still want to live like this forever? ”
"Don't you want to drive a star battleship across the star sea like your ancestors?"
Persuading someone to surrender can also be considered an inducement.
After discovering that there were a lot of players inside the fortress, he considered how to use these players to achieve his own goals.
It's not that he is attracted to this group of players. To be honest, Li Qing's territory does not have high demand for players.
Not only him, in the United Empire of Humanity, the major military lords and clans within their sphere of influence rarely recruit players to serve for them, except for their own family members, unless they are the children of that kind of family.
The so-called family-born children are the descendants of the player's family who have served the family for generations.
They have served the family for generations and are relatively more loyal. Only such players will keep using it and dare to entrust them with important tasks. It is almost impossible to recruit unfamiliar players midway.
The main reason is that the players' minds are too active. Their status as players gives them more possibilities, which makes their abilities much higher than ordinary humans at the same level. At the same time, the uncertainty is also higher. Generally, the established and stable forces are not very powerful. Like to use.
Li Qing doesn't like to use it either. In addition, he has Servants of Light, and his demand for player talents is not high at all. Naturally, he looks down on the Cybertron Fortress, which has been sealed inside for more than seven thousand years. Both his knowledge and knowledge are out of date. , the key is players born in this cyber worldview where people cannibalize people and are controlled by capital.
But he wanted to persuade him to surrender, mainly because he wanted to conquer as many humans as safely as possible.
As he learned more, he discovered that the number of natural humans inside this Cybertronian fortress was much higher than he had expected.
The original estimate was about one billion, but the information we have now shows that it is at least five times the estimate, and it may be even more.
If so many human beings could be safely received, what a huge fortune it would be.
For the sake of this super rich wealth, he had to accept it even if he no longer looked down on these players.
As for the receiving method, it was very simple. He opened the address book and connected the player whose title was the executive officer of the Undertide Group among the three gold-named IDs. He said straight to the point:
"I will give you an opportunity now to take the initiative to bring your group to surrender to me and accept my rule."
After receiving this expected news, Chang Jianlong pinched his brows and took off his gold-rimmed glasses to reveal a pair of shining eyes. However, if someone looked closer, they would find that his seemingly normal eyes were actually bionic implants.
He looked back at the dozens of men and women exuding extraordinary momentum on the left and right sides of the long conference table behind him, and said in a deep voice:
"He contacted me and I will send you the conditions."
A light curtain unfolded, and what was displayed on it was Li Qing's words.
More than a dozen men and women dressed in luxurious and impressive clothes frowned. One of them, an old man in a navy blue Chinese tunic suit, paused lightly with the dark gold dragon-headed cane in his hand, and asked a bald man in military uniform across the conference table: < br>
"The Ministry of Armed Forces should have received information about their army. What do you think of their strength?"
The bald man's entire head was made of shiny metal, with complex lines drawn on it. From time to time, he would see tiny electric lights jumping along the lines. He said expressionlessly:
"The information collected now shows that they have complete fifth-generation technology and are stronger than us. With the group's current strength, they can barely block it, but the troops they are sending are obviously not at their full strength. And I have received news that they are not far away from us. The distant Tianwu Group and Qiandu Group were attacked. They should have attacked in three directions, which shows that their strength is definitely stronger than we expected. If we use force, we have little chance of winning."
After a pause, he continued:
"Unless we persuade nearby groups to unite, it will be difficult to defeat them. Once defeated, we will have no room to raise conditions." (End of Chapter)
