Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2425 Self-destructive Consciousness
The final circle battlefield at the Sky Dome Battle Center.

The aurora curtain of the projection drone turned into an eerie purple-red outside the safe zone barrier.

Inside the neural cradle, Xu Xiu's fingers and eyes under his eyelids trembled from time to time. The blue light of the holographic crosshairs penetrated the smoke and locked onto the black mecha one kilometer away.

"Fire control system on full blast! Blast the hell out of here!"

There was a slight vibration from the back of the mecha, and the railgun barrel rose from under the armor plate, like a steel peacock spreading its colorful tail feathers.

Xu Xiu stared at the jumping numbers on the tactical screen and the data scanned by the radar system, waiting for the black mecha to reveal a flaw.

When the opponent pulled out the shockwave knife, he chose to fire without hesitation.

The railgun shell tore through the air at 0.7 times the speed of sound, exploding a deep blue electromagnetic vortex where the target disappeared.

The ground in the final circle collapsed in an instant, forming a deep pit with a diameter of fifteen meters, as if it had been gnawed by a giant beast in the void.

Under the horrified gaze of the audience, Wang Teng shouted: "No one thought that contestant Xu Xiu would hold on until now and finally take out the weapon he had snatched! This is the last shot! He is unwilling to duel with contestant Zhou Long at close range. In this match, is it possible that..."

"Xu Xiu, your shooting accuracy has improved by 3.7% compared to before." Zhou Long's message suddenly appeared on the public channel. The black mecha slowly emerged from the ruins on the edge of the crater, but the defensive armor on the left arm disappeared like a pencil drawing being erased by an eraser.

"But the thermal imaging and traces of your movements have already exposed you. From this perspective, you and this group of weaklings are actually still on the same level. Falling behind will lead to being beaten, understand?"

Xu Xiu looked at the two sentences on the public channel indifferently, but six micro missiles had already shot out from the launch nests on the shoulders of his mecha, and the trajectories were intertwined like a spider web in the night sky.

Ever since he witnessed Zhou Long's outrageous melee ability in the first game, he had decided to try his best to survive until the final circle in the second game, and then use long-range firepower to cover and win the game.

Zhou Long saw this scene and did not ignore it.

The vector nozzle on the back of the mecha burst out with bluish-white flames, and the mecha rolled over in a posture that violated the laws of physics. The nano-coated leg armor brushed past the scorching micro-missiles.

When the chainsword on the right arm popped out, the mecha's sweeping speed increased slightly.

Soon, the two steel mechas collided with a loud bang.

In an instant, a roar sounded in the final circle.

Plasma sparks burst out from the collision of the chainsaw swords, and various defensive traps were triggered, completely destroying the buildings within a radius of 100 meters.

The tactical screen in Zhou Long's field of vision was flashing a red warning of damaged armor - the previous artillery attack was not completely in vain.

However, he was still somewhat curious about what other cards his student had waiting for him.

Perhaps to experience something more exciting, he sent another message in the public channel. "No response? Then you should prepare to count down."

"Do you remember our last simulated battle?" Although Xu Xiu's body was in the neural cradle, he could feel the smell of blood mixed with the unique bitter almond flavor of the neural connection fluid spreading in his mouth. "You said that a true killer will always keep the last bullet!"

The chest armor of Xu Xiu's mecha suddenly cracked, and ten miniature armor-piercing crossbow arrows shot out in a fan shape. This was a cold weapon that he had kept hidden all along. Each arrowhead was engraved with spiral patterns, and with the energy provided by the power core, it was enough to penetrate three layers of composite armor.

Sparks instantly exploded from Zhou Long's mecha's thrusters.

The two mechas that were engaged in battle were soon "separated".

The black mecha fell backwards into a nearby building, but its arms suddenly bent back like a scorpion's tail, and then instantly launched, heading straight for the core power area of ​​Xu Xiu's mecha.

The alarm sounded at a peak in an instant, and in the nervous cradle, Xu Xiu's pupils had shrunk to the size of needle points.

At this moment, he didn't care about anything else. He immediately burst the maximum power of the engine and took off instantly.

"Your core temperature is a bit high." Zhou Long's words appeared on the public channel, and at the same time a cruise missile instantly appeared next to Xu Xiu's mecha.

A true killer will always save his last bullet!
He has not used this missile until now.

The core security zone of the Sky Dome Battle Center suddenly became as bright as day. The explosion storm caused by the destruction of the mecha's power core by the missile destroyed the nearby building wreckage again.

When the smoke cleared, the audience only saw the wreckage of two mechas put together in a fighting posture.

perish together?

Or what?
Wang Teng was also very confused, but he could see the link status of the mobile armor, so he quickly turned on the microphone and shouted: "Is the second points race over like this?
Zhou Long's winning streak was broken! ? Or did Xu Xiu win! ? Please ask the director to focus the camera on the heads of the mechas. We can see that the defensive armor on the heads of these two mechas has not been completely damaged!"

Under the camera, the audience clearly saw the liquid metal luster flowing on the surface of the heads of the two mechas, and each armor plate was embedded with a self-repairing nano-matrix.

Even the destroyed part of Zhou Longxuan's mecha was slowly being reassembled.

After the fierce battle, these two mechas not only did not run out of energy, but even to this extent, they were still fighting the hardest.

At this moment, in an operating room not far from the Neural Cradle area, scientists are communicating closely.

"Contestant Zhou Long's temples have undergone special changes in bioelectricity. The nerve signal information has become special and cannot be interpreted. The synchronization rate of the mecha joints with the conscious traction is increasing, and the head is 90.7%!"

"Contestant Xu Xiu's Danzhong acupoint has undergone special changes in bioelectricity. The nerve signal information has become special and cannot be interpreted. The synchronization rate of the mecha joints with the conscious traction is increasing, and the head is 90.1%!"

"The data parameters have just been analyzed. After the temporary improvement, the chain sword's chopping trajectory is accurate to 0.03 mm..."

"The intelligence cores of several selected mechas that used the self-destruct program left special messages."

"Obviously, after using the mecha for a long time and self-destructing twice, the intelligent core has not completely forgotten the previous encounters. Their logical framework has built a defense code that is unique to them... Can this be considered that they have developed autonomous consciousness?"

Gu Qing was sitting in the headquarters building far away, but his attention was not on the mecha battle, but on this operating room.

With the current level of technological development, the form of warfare on the Blue Planet in recent years has entered a special new stage of "technology-led, multi-system weapon integration, and cross-domain coordination", which is more complex than the previous coordination between sea, land and air.
