Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!

After sending off Lin Yu, Chen Jian quickly adjusted the combat deployment.

He realized something.

If the human consciousness of the entire Mountain City has merged into a single entity, then the most convenient and effective method is not to launch an attack directly from the physical level, but to find a way to destroy the entity itself.

This is not without opportunity.

After all, the artificial intelligence "Lingxi," which plays a leading role in Mountain City, cannot escape the shackles of computing power and algorithms.

Most importantly, it has completely deviated from the course of "humanity," and is no longer controlled by humans, but rather by what it thinks is human yet is actually just a pile of anthropomorphic data formed by quantum simulations in the void.

---- Honestly, the term Mimic Heretics fits it best.

And precisely because of such a situation, it cannot escape the "human" identity to negotiate with us.

Lin Yu will come again, and come many more times.

This is our chance!

Chen Jian exhaled deeply.

Then, he spoke:

"Fu Xi, we will meet Lin Yu again."

"These Artificial People are connected to Mountain City's computing power center by radio waves. You should know what I want to do."

"Understood."

Fu Xi's voice transmitted from the headset:

"Commander, what method do you plan to use to achieve your goal?"

"Direct destruction or takeover?"

"Taking over would be the best."

Chen Jian replied:

"But from the current situation, taking over is extremely difficult."

"Better to directly destroy the main program and then use new methods to utilize the existing computing units."

"Understood."

Fu Xi spoke again:

"Then we need to first obtain the main program architecture information of Mountain City---- the next time Comrade Lin Yu comes, we might need a more detailed and lengthy negotiation."

"I will arrange it."

Chen Jian briefly replied, then stood up and looked at He Shuo on the side.

"Let the Expeditionary Force and Church Protection Army disband."

"In Mountain City, a hot war is impossible."

"This will be an... electronic warfare!"

"Electronic warfare?"

A smile appeared on He Shuo's face.

"By the way, if we really manage to hack into Mountain City's main program, will we end up making a big movie like Inception?"

"... Cut it out."

Chen Jian smiled helplessly:

"As long as the invasion and implantation are truly completed, the confrontation time likely won't exceed a second."

"By then, you probably won't have time to react before the battle is already over."

"This is a war between Fu Xi and Lingxi.... We just need to do the best we can in logistics."

"Try to weaken Lingxi's computing power through physical means to create chances for Fu Xi to attack."

"Are we just becoming assistants?"

He Shuo asked with a hint of teasing:

"Fu Xi, what do you think?"

After a moment, Fu Xi's voice rang out.

"Serving the people, the division of revolutionary labor is different, that's all."

"Hahahahaha....."

He Shuo couldn't help but laugh.

With the shadow of war temporarily gone, the atmosphere inside the Mountain City command post became much more relaxed.

After laughing for a moment, He Shuo continued:

"Then I'll continue doing what I should be doing."

"We are still... too short of manpower."

"I need to solve Jinling's affairs quickly."

"Give me Guo Xu and these three people... let me use them."

"Alright."

Chen Jian nodded.

"How do you plan to use them?"

"The usual three steps."

He Shuo shrugged and answered:

"Fight, teach, release."

"First take them to fight a few tough battles, then teach them our things, and finally let them choose on their own."

"Those who stay behind will completely become ours."

"However... I plan to make this plan bigger this time."

As he finished, Chen Jian curiously looked at He Shuo.

"That's the question I really want to ask you."

"So, how do you plan to make this big?"

"The range of personnel we are contacting is still extremely limited, to influence the entire Jinling City with just three people probably isn't easy, right?"

After saying this, He Shuo shook his head mysteriously.

"Honestly, even three is too many."

"If it weren't for the lack of... lack of fierce battles coming up, I would even wish two out of Guo Xu, Zhang Chao, and Liu Hao were dead."

"Leaving just one person would be most suitable."

"Because the old clay figurine has been shattered, what I need now is a new clay figurine."

"And, an only clay figurine idol."

"Are you kidding?"

Chen Jian frowned.

"Personal worship? That path is not feasible!"

"Worship nothing personal..."

He Shuo spread his hands helplessly.

"Captain, don't always worry unnecessarily about my awareness problems, I've been educated for a long time."

"Creating a new clay figurine is just a metaphor---- actually, more accurately, it should be said, creating a new symbol."

"I want to completely shatter the foundation of the Mechanical God Sect."

"To shatter the foundation of the Mechanical God Sect, I must allow those educated by us, yet haven't sided with us, to possess a power that can rival the Mechanical God Sect."

"Originally, I intended to do this in Jin Zhong's case."

"But he was too impulsive... Liangxi City's incident ruined this plan."

"Now, Guo Xu is the new candidate."

"He is very suitable."

"His faith in the so-called 'Holy Trinity' is very strong, but his faith has become rational."
