Chapter 28: The Tides of Offense and Defense Have Shifted!
Looking at the building life union in front of him.
Zhou Yi recalled the events that occurred not long ago.
...
The company's internal meeting determined the battle plan against the Heavenly People.
Then Zhou Yi gradually disclosed this information to the company's core partners.
Generally speaking, such a resistance movement should be conducted secretly, not blatantly plotting.
But the situation with the Heavenly People is special.
They have always ignored Earth Life, only communicating with similar-level lives like the Qing Liu, descendants of the Seeder.
The selected proxies are merely shepherd dogs, used to manage various lives on Earth.
Even if one wishes to contact the Heavenly People to betray, there is simply no channel.
Moreover, the Wasteland era has a history and tradition of resisting the Heavenly People.
It has a certain foundation of public opinion.
The company's two Light Core Body mechatronic employees conducted detailed data analysis on this.
Jue Mingzi stated: "Mechanical Life craves to reach the moon. The moon has the energy we need most, and materials and bodies can be sourced and manufactured locally."
"A moon with abundant energy, without various agreement blockades and restrictions, is the ideal homeland for Mechanical Life."
"The Legal Front acknowledges this. As long as Mechanical Life data is backed up and transmitted remotely via satellites, they can act between Earth and the moon, overcoming transmission delay across planets. Mechanical Life is inherently capable of controlling numerous subsystems, hence they are willing to make the moon their main system location."
"As of the end of last year, there are 4,711,093 registered city Mechanical Life, over 4,690,000 of whom are completing the visa application process. Additionally, 20,000 applicants have failed the review due to crimes, credit bankruptcy, large-scale illegal self-modifications, antisocial tendencies, and various other reasons."
"As long as survival can continue, and they can expand their functions and skills, Mechanical Life is willing to accept other changes."
703 also said: "Chairman, the first phase of atmospheric transformation and ecological deployment on the moon has been completed. The developed land and supporting ecology are sufficient to allow survival for 80 million people."
"If the situation turns unfavorable later on, transferring a large number of lives to the moon poses no problem."
"There is another important matter."
"Chairman, just 2 hours ago, a message came from the Golden Tree. It has completed the energy synchronization with Proxima Centauri, ready to support us anytime through the Fixed Star Channel, to strike the Heavenly People's energy domain."
"Proxima Centauri can intercept energy trajectories through solar refraction, preventing the Heavenly People from absorbing and acquiring solar energy, thus cutting off their subsequent supplies."
External aid is ready!
Zhou Yi immediately decided to publicly oppose the Heavenly People's colonization, unite various regions to conduct the third resistance war against the Heavenly People, and call upon resistors everywhere to participate.
The company welcomes contributions from all sides, offering high rewards for good suggestions and proposals, with a minimum prize of 50,000 Light Seeds, uncapped.
This can harness the brilliance and ingenuity of everyone to devise strategies against the Heavenly People.
Rich rewards are enticing.
For most people, the Heavenly People are too distant, yet the company's bonus is solid indeed.
Many Guangna Species are actively contributing ideas, and the perennial war-happy populace of the Western Continent is particularly enthusiastic.
Among them, many inspiring suggestions and ideas were rewarded by the company, and announced publicly, with the winners' identities protected by code.
The first direct fighter to respond from outside was the Warlord: "I'm here!"
"I've waited for this day for so many years."
This veteran resistor brought out all his assets.
"Over the years, I've created more than 70 A-level weapons, of which 43 are stable and useful. Use whatever you find fitting."
"Also, 14 Weapon Princesses under my command—including 2 third-generation Weapon Princesses merged with Golden Elephants—and 81 Weapon Hunters, are at your disposal. They excel at identification, disassembling, modification, and repair of various devices. Even as engineers and mechanics, they are exceptional."
"The Commanding Platform is a Light Core Level Weapon platform crafted from my lifelong effort, comprised of the Military Strategy Sand Table, Heavenly Road, Martial Arts Target Range, Hundred Beasts Garden, and casting room."
"You knew the former ones before, the last one is the core of the entire system. All Weapon Princesses and advanced weapons were completed by me in the casting room."
"My ability is not in combat and killing, but in saving lives. Initially, I was an Enhancement Doctor, specializing in conducting enhancement transformation surgery and implanting artificial limbs on certain humans or Guangna Species."
The Warlord put away his previous carelessness and flippancy, showing unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.
He lit a cigarette, taking a drag: "During one surgery, a girl's viscera suffered crushing damage, beyond repair and treatment. Severe bleeding meant she wouldn't live long."
"Back then, I made a decision against medical ethics. By merging her with other devices, I chose a semi-evolved machine tiger equipped with a revolving cannon, attempting a gamble similar to creating artificial mechanical life."
"The good news was, my luck was good, it succeeded. So came the first Weapon Princess, Lan Liao."
The Warlord exhaled smoke: "The bad news is, humans can only merge synchronously with weapon-type mechanical life, not others. Do you know the reason why?"
Zhou Yi said: "Is it because humans inherently crave weapons and combat?"
"That's not wrong."
The Warlord flicked ash off his cigarette into an ashtray: "People produce strong survival instincts before dying, seeking to continue life through any means possible. If this final struggle fails, they lose all drive and spirit, exhibiting the phenomenon of a last bright burst."
