Chapter 1789 The Day of the Fall
Fremons was very cold towards Zhang Yi's team.
Zhang Yi was not angry, but he kept in mind their attitude of using people forward and not using people backward.
Mountains and rivers will meet each other again, and sooner or later there will be a day to return, so Zhang Yi is not in a hurry at all.
And he believed that with the arrival of reinforcements from all over the world, the conflict between the human legion and the mechanical civilization would become more and more acute.
He chose to wait and see what happened before taking the next step.
Fremons treats people differently based on their situation, so why not him?
If there was no benefit, he would only repay Fremons' previous support to a certain extent.
As I said, interests come first. Even between Huaxu Kingdom and Fremons, it is ridiculous to talk about feelings.
"Let's go back first. Let Keran and Xinxin study those things carefully in the next two days."
Having said that, Zhang Yi turned around and extended his hand towards Lu Keren.
Lu Keran quickly ran to Zhang Yi's side.
Zhang Yi asked: "Is there any way to repair the tens of thousands of mechanical lifeforms we have obtained and turn them into our own mechanical army?"
Lu Keran nodded.
"Of course! Their materials are very high-grade, but my abilities can replicate them."
"However, its core technology is extremely complex. This is a completely different route from human mechanical technology. It will depend on Xinxin if you want to crack it."
"Hmm... How should I put it? The difference between the mechanical language of a mechanical civilization and the mechanical language of humans is like the difference between Chinese and English. We first need to completely decipher it."
Zhang Yi asked curiously, "Can't we just rewrite it using human machine language?"
Yang Xinxin explained: "The mechanical language of mechanical civilization is more advanced and efficient than that of humans. If our mechanical language is implanted, the performance of the resulting product may be only one-third of the original."
Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh: "This is the power of technology!"
"Then, can we ensure that we are ahead in technology in this area? We need to build a mechanical army before other countries."
Speaking of this, Lu Keren smiled proudly.
"Brother, if my guess is correct, they are now having trouble even opening the energy core and observing its internal structure!"
It is a material that is harder than diamond and has no cracks at all. Human technology is simply unable to open it without damage.
Fremons' research used a laser knife to forcibly split it, but this would inevitably cause internal damage, greatly affecting the research efficiency.
Moreover, even if they spent a long time and tremendous energy to thoroughly study its operating principles, there is no technical means to replicate it.
Lu Keran is different.
Her hands are the hands of God.
[Divine Control] can even allow her hands to pass through matter like penetrating water, separating the outer shell of the energy core without damaging it.
"In other words, we will be the first human organization in the world to acquire this technology?"
Zhang Yi said with a smile, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
Tianhai City has a population of only tens of thousands, and their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and loyalty need to be considered.
But if humans could be replaced by mechanical life forms, many things would become simpler.
"That's the theory, brother!"
Lu Keran said.
"Well, you don't need to think about anything else during this time. Just focus on cracking the secret of the core of the mechanical life form."
Zhang Yi encouraged Lu Keran.
The group arrived at the accommodation arranged for them by Fremons.
Zhang Yi withdrew the soldiers stationed here and instead asked the Fuying troops to be responsible for guarding the area around the residence.
However, not long after he arrived here, someone came to find him.
He is Zhang Yi’s old friend, the [Thunder God Perun] of the Pantheon, the bearded Alexi Ivanov.
He came over with two large bottles of vodka and a large bag under his arm.
When Zhang Yi saw Alexei, a sincere smile appeared on his face.
He didn't spend too much time with Alexei, but this honest Fremons man gained his respect.
People's behavior when facing life-and-death crisis will not lie.
When fighting against the fake gatekeeper of Hades, Alexei fought without regard for his life, proving that he is a trustworthy person.
So later, when he was recuperating in Blizzard City, Zhang Yi often went to visit him.
"My friends, welcome to Fremons!"
Alexei said this, shaking the vodka in his hand and putting a large package under his arm on the table.
Zhang Yi and a few others hadn't eaten yet, so they took out the food from the alien space and prepared to have a meal.
Everyone laughed when they saw what Alexei brought. It turned out to be a few strings of handmade sausages, each as thick as Alexei's arm.
Alexey said that this was made by his wife.
Zhang Yi and others did not argue with him, and everyone sat together to eat.
After not seeing each other for a while, Zhang Yi felt that Alexei looked a little more haggard than when he left Huaxu Kingdom. He had dark circles under his eyes and less flesh on his face.
It can be seen that he has been very busy recently.
The group of people casually exchanged pleasantries and talked about their recent situations and family matters.
Zhang Yi was naturally busy with the reconstruction of Tianhai Fortress.
When he mentioned Alexei's family, he sighed deeply.
"Fremons has been in turmoil recently. Everyone is worried that those iron guys will come to kill us. Even my wife Natasha always wakes up from her sleep and hugs me and cries."
Hearing this, Zhou Ke'er couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and asked, "As a powerful alien like you, doesn't your wife feel safe?"
She has been together with Zhang Yi for three years.
In the past three years, they have experienced many ups and downs, but no matter what happens, Zhang Yi will protect them well.
Alexei is also an Ipsilon mutant of the Black Chariot class, and one of the most famous in the world.
So Zhou Keer was surprised by this.
Alexei said helplessly: "You don't know what happened that day."
He talked about the night when the Mechanical Army attacked the city of Karen.
The city of Karen is the capital of Fremons and the place with the strongest armed forces in the entire Fremons.
Not only is there one of the world's top troops here, but there are also aliens from the Pantheon.
Even though other areas are unstable, the top leaders still concentrate their core forces here to ensure the safety of themselves and their families.
However, no one expected that one night, without any warning, mechanical life forms emerged from the ground like a tide!
All their advanced equipment was out of service.
The earth shattered, houses collapsed, and Alexei's house was destroyed. They were awakened from their sleep. His wife and children were exposed to the cold wind of more than 100 degrees below zero and were almost frozen to death.
Alexei hurriedly protected his wife and daughter, but the city of Karen before him was filled with people who had frozen to death in the cold wind and huge mechanical life forms.
One after another, super-large mechanical life forms, like giant ancient gods, stood in various places in Karen City, emitting rays of destructive light and cutting the city into pieces.
Alexei said this and took another big gulp of vodka.
"belch……"
He burped, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "You must be careful! Those guys are more powerful than you think."
Fatty Xu came over with a glass of wine, and with a smile, he put his arm around Alexei's shoulders and boasted, "Hey, Old Xie! Don't worry, it's okay that you didn't have enough troops in the past and couldn't beat those iron sheets!"
"Now, haha!"
He reached out and slapped his chest so hard that it made a loud noise.
"I, Marshal Tianpeng, came here under the leadership of my elder brother Hun Dun. I can easily settle that little thing for you!"
"You must be aware that we killed tens of thousands of mechanical life forms when we first arrived in Fremons! It was effortless."
Alexey shook his head.
"No, you only encountered a small group of troops. You have never encountered a truly tough opponent."
Zhang Yi, Deng Shentong, Liang Yue and the others looked at each other and continued to ask:
"I've seen the video you sent, and it's not much different from what we encountered. Even if the number of mechanical troops attacking Karen City is larger, it shouldn't be that terrifying, right?"
Alexei put the glass on the table with a thump.
"No matter how many of those things there are, we have ways to deal with them."
"Chaos, don't you realize that they are actually engineering robots?"
This sentence really made Zhang Yi a little stunned.
"Engineering... robots? You mean, things like the tower cranes and robotic arms we use?"
He couldn't help but recall.
Suddenly, he remembered a joke he had made when he was chatting with Fatty Xu and others.
These mechanical life forms clearly possess such powerful combat capabilities, but they all ran over to dig the ground. What a waste.
But if you think about it carefully now, their structure is indeed more like engineering machinery.
Even those super-large mechanical life forms were a bit slow and clumsy. If they were really going to fight, it would be better to build them into tracked vehicles or directly use aerospace battleships.
Including those mass-produced machines, their means of attack are very simple, and some even use cold weapons like engineering shovels.
At first, Zhang Yi thought it was a special weapon of the mechanical civilization.
Now, thinking carefully about what Alexei said, it seems that what they are facing is really just an engineering team.
There was silence at the dinner table. If the engineering troops alone could turn the entire Fremons upside down, how powerful would the combat-type mechanical life forms be?
Zhang Yi looked at Alexi and said slowly: "The combat-type mechanical life form is the humanoid creature you reminded me of, right?"
Alexei took a big gulp of vodka, scratched his head, then took out a chip from his thick beard and handed it to Zhang Yi.
"Budaja and his people have concealed important information from all of you. My friend, you will understand after reading this."
Zhang Yi took the chip and instantly understood something.
"Did you secretly keep this thing by yourself?"
Alexei is a good person, but he is a member of the Fremons Pantheon after all.
Zhang Yi didn't expect that he actually gave him an important piece of information without the knowledge of the Pantheon.
Zhang Yi himself couldn't help but wonder if this was a play performed by the Pantheon?
Alexi said frankly: "I am not in the same group with them. The Pantheon is just an alien organization with many factions."
"Budaja represents the government and is a senior administrative official. I was invited to join them just because I am quite capable."
"My original intention was to protect the people and my family and friends. But their actions are no longer tolerated by me."
Alexei looked at Zhang Yi, his face was completely red at this time, but his eyes were particularly bright.
"The group of people represented by Bhudhaja don't care about the lives of ordinary people. They only care about their own interests."
"So after you and the alien delegations from other countries arrive, they will choose to push you to the most dangerous front line."
"And in order to prevent you from running away, they concealed the most crucial information."
"I'm sorry, my friend, I don't know much. After all, I can't get in touch with their core level. I can only tell you everything I know."
Zhang Yi nodded and raised the glass in his hand towards Alexei.
"Thank you very much for your sincerity, my friend! Cheers!"
As he spoke, Zhang Yi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
The drinking lasted from day to night, but Alexei could drink a lot. In the end, he took off the upper body clothes, put them on his shoulders, and left in the cold wind of more than 100 degrees below zero.
After he left, Deng Shentong said, "Sure enough, wherever there are people, there will be internal friction. It's really troublesome!"
Zhang Yi glanced at him and said with a disdainful smile: "It's the same everywhere. Even you in Blizzard City can be divided into several factions. Don't laugh at others."
That old guy Zhu Zheng was able to hide Zhu Yu for his own benefit during the war against the Wuluan Empire.
They are not qualified to judge others.
"Can Alexei believe this? Is it possible that this is a plot between him and the Pantheon?"
Deng Shentong asked.
"I have my own brain."
Zhang Yi just responded indifferently.
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Even if they are friends, it is always better to be a little more careful.
"Let's take a look at what's inside this chip first!"
Zhang Yi shook the chip in his hand, read it with the intelligent system, and then projected it directly in front of him.
The image unfolded before everyone, and what came into view was a night filled with flames rising into the sky.
The day when Karen City fell, the images recorded by Alexei's portable intelligent system.
Zhang Yi watched the scenes in front of him intently, the flickering black light and shadows reflected in his pupils.
He looked very carefully, and some of the hazy shadows that appeared in that battle were also firmly remembered in his mind.
