Chapter 291 Suppressing the Killer Rebellion (3k)

Luo Ji stood holding the sword. The blue spiritual sword, formed from iron pieces, did not dissipate but instead hovered beside him. Luo Ji could clearly feel the mysterious connection established between his spiritual power and this iron-chromium alloy magic sword.

However, the remaining intelligent units, and those continuously activated from further away, once again fearlessly launched suicidal kamikaze attacks at Luo Ji, hoping only to get close to the target and crash into it.

This cursed virus is more powerful than anyone imagined.

The main reason is that the Internet of Things is too advanced in this era. Almost all devices are independent intelligent units, and because people in this era are relatively lazy, almost all kinds of intelligent devices have the ability to move independently.

With all items connected to the internet and powered by a 550W quantum computer, the Killer virus could operate beyond its limits.

Because the virus is spreading globally, the primary task of militaries in various countries is to maintain local stability.

As time went on, the army that came to support Luo Ji gradually began to exert its strength, and a barrage of firepower intercepted these ubiquitous flying cars.

A super space carrier, second only to star-class and planetary-class warships in combat power, began entering the battlefield, efficiently clearing the rioting unmanned equipment with military-grade weapons.

Some next-generation fighter jets with speeds of at least Mach 15 have begun to hover high in the sky.

Innate martial arts soldiers equipped with advanced flight propulsion systems entered the airspace above the battlefield one after another, flying to Luo Ji's side to help him share the burden.

On the ground, various new armored units, including mechs and tanks, are appearing, along with advanced anti-aircraft vehicles and next-generation tanks.

With the successive intervention of the three aerospace carrier battle groups—[Wide Area Silent], [Yellow River Fangbei], and [Lucky Forest]—in the capital battlefield, Luo Ji's pressure was greatly reduced.

Beyond the capital's battlefield, more than forty aerospace carrier battle groups corresponding to provincial-level administrative regions have taken off to begin clearing out high-threat large units that have gone out of control within their borders, and this is just one aspect of China's situation.

Across the globe, the Earth United Government has urged nations to deploy no fewer than one hundred space carrier battle groups. These space carrier battle groups are one of the Earth United Government's main military forces.

The demise of the 【KILLER virus】 was already inevitable.

Independent networks, independently coded military weapons use photonic computer networks, which are impossible to be breached by viruses based on quantum computers.

One hundred space carrier battle groups—this force is naturally incomparable to Fleet International, but it's enough to deal with the chaos inside Earth.

The scales of victory began to tip in favor of humanity.

The closest to Luo Ji was the [Wide-Area Silence] battle group. The Wide-Area Silence space carrier did not appear alone. Near this space carrier, air gunships equipped with weather control weapons also filled the sky as escort units.

Weather-manipulated weapons were developed by the United States as early as 2005, even earlier than ball lightning weapons. Two hundred years later, they have become a common unit in modern military equipment. Wherever the 'Thor' gunship passes, countless artificially generated lightning bolts strike the earth, destroying large areas of these out-of-control facilities.

Military equipment has an overwhelming performance advantage over civilian equipment used in these suicide attacks; each artificial lightning strike can tear apart a large number of out-of-control vehicles.

If this aerospace carrier battle group were deployed in the 21st century, even a coalition of nations bombarding it relentlessly with all types of missiles except nuclear weapons would find it extremely difficult to penetrate its lightning-fast defenses. This is the difference in conventional weaponry resulting from two centuries of technological advancement.

Since finding his dantian, Luo Ji seemed to be addicted and charged in with his iron sword.

The blue magic sword once again transformed into a wave of sword energy, actively meeting the oncoming mechanical remnants.

Waves surged back and forth in the mechanical tide!
With a thought from Luo Ji, the sword light transformed into a vast blue ocean wave! The sword energy split, one becoming two, two becoming four... In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of condensed wave sword shadows filled the space in front of him, forming a dense ocean sword net!

The sword net formed by the waves and sword energy swiftly cut through flying cars, drones, and mechanical units that rushed into the "ocean" area, instantly slicing them into countless finger-sized metal fragments that fell to the ground.

On the ground, the clanging and shattering sounds were incessant, like a torrential downpour.

Occasionally, when a high-speed luxury car or a massive dump truck attempts to break through the sword net, a condensed ocean sword aura immediately detaches from the sword net, is swung out by Luo Ji, and instantly pierces and detonates it.

Luo Ji plunged into the mechanical wave. His standard escape speed was Mach 10. This slender figure drifted at a speed of 3600 meters per second, controlling the deadly ocean storm from the core. His Foundation Establishment stage spiritual sense became increasingly proficient, covering a radius of 50 kilometers and precisely locking onto every area where the virus had gathered.

You want to kill me?
Are you ganging up on me?
Go to hell!
Luo Ji grinned, the lingering frustration in his mind vanishing, and his plans for self-imposed confinement disappeared without a trace. At this moment, only killing remained!

Kill kill kill!

Fifteen minutes later, Luo Ji, alone with his sword, carved a path through the steel torrent, eventually breaking through the civilian mechanized system that covered half the capital. He stood high above the mechanical flood, staring blankly at the [Wide-Area Silence] space carrier battle group that had arrived from the Bohai Bay. "Dr. Luo Ji... what's wrong?"

The space carrier shouted to Luo Ji through its built-in loudspeaker.

"What do you mean, 'I'? I'm fine!" Luo Ji was covered in blood, metal and plastic fragments, and lubricant from the broken machinery. His clothes were almost completely torn to shreds.

After a moment of silence, the space carrier battle group simply sent a helicopter to pick up Luo Ji.

Two hours later.

Shi Qiang met the battered and bruised Luo Ji on the space carrier.

At this moment, the space carrier has reached an altitude of 10,000 meters. Apart from some dedicated drones, it is impossible for any civilian facilities to fly to this altitude, so it is very safe.

"Great Historian, how is it outside?"

Luo Ji was in excruciating pain, and various advanced medical devices inside the aircraft carrier were treating this Wallfacer.

"95% of the civilian devices infected by [KILLER] were recovered by the digital personalities and MOSS, while the remaining 5% were mostly destroyed, and you accounted for a significant portion of that destruction. You really had a good time, Brother Luo," Shi Qiang chuckled, leaning against the doorway.

"This is so awesome!" Luo Ji grinned as he squeezed out the words, "I don't know how Luo Qing did it, but this is definitely related to him. You wouldn't believe it, I've just received over a dozen calls, including from several presidents of major countries and high-ranking officials of coalition governments. They're all hinting that I might have a way to get them to also try this immortal cultivation..."

"I reckon by the time this news reaches Jupiter, even the chairman of the Solar System Joint Conference will be coming to ask me. These guys are too impatient. They don't dare ask Luo Qing; they all come to me. How would I know? I'm just a bum who's been sitting in the corner all day."

Shi Qiang pondered for a moment, "Then... your 'facing the wall' plan hearing."

Luo Ji shrugged: "The chairman of the United Government told me that from the moment I became a cultivator, even though my strength is still very weak, my Wallfacer status could not be revoked... No, I have to find a way to get rid of this Wallfacer status. I've had enough."

Shi Qiang said helplessly, "Just take the job if they tell you to. What if it comes in handy?"

Luo Ji got angry: "Da Shi, you can't stand to see me doing well, can you? Let me tell you, I'm not as outrageous as Luo Qing. I can only fly at Mach 10 at most. I can't even beat the hypersonic fighter jets in modern armies. A single ordinary nuclear bomb could kill me. I can't stay a Wallfacer!"

Luo Ji repeated firmly, "If I were to become a Wallfacer again, I would be a dog! Let whoever wants to be one take it."

"Alright, then you can figure out how to talk to Fleet International when the hearing is held. Anyway, after what happened to you, Wallfacers and cultivators are almost bound together."

"Bind my ass! Taylor and Radiaz are gone, but Hines is still here."

...

After 21 days.

Luo Ji, Hines, Shi Qiang, and others arrived in Jupiter's orbit aboard the Asia-class starship.

The final hearing for the Wallfacer Project is about to be held as scheduled.

On the eve of the final hearing of the Wallfacer Project, Kuiper led the front-line, and the planetary warship "Mantis" finally found the extinguished, dim Trisolaran fleet probe under the guidance of the six-dimensional sophon.

"That's it?"

The captain of the Mantis was the first to come into contact with an entity from the Trisolaran civilization. It was a sphere about five meters in diameter, with a surface covered in rust and craters from space meteorite impacts. Its tail gradually tapered like a cone, and even curved to make it less sharp, like a... dilapidated Rupert's Tear metal sculpture.

Seeing this, Ding Yi, who was stationed in the distant star-class warship, even lost the desire to smash it with a hammer.

The six-dimensional sophon on the Mantis jumped up excitedly, and its mirrored surface displayed the following line of text.

Ah, my poor, weak homeland creation, you have finally come...
