On the battlefield in the Czech Republic, countless small engineering robots from Aurora are working diligently.

The behemoth of the Wet Tribe was too big; although it wasn't impossible for Black Velvet to lift it entirely.

However, for safety reasons, Aurora ultimately decided to split it up in place first.

In reality, each piece of wreckage was directly covered with a metal shielding mesh, forming a Fondate cage to block signals. Then, solidified foam was applied to each joint to prevent it from going berserk or self-destructing.

Then they began to remove the outer armor. This wet robot, which Aurora has named Fathead Fish, has tens of tons of armor on the outside. The outermost layer has many reactive armor blocks, which are specifically designed to protect against armor-piercing projectiles.

Behind them, countless scientists from the Aurora Center shook their heads as they looked at the various disassembled parts. They had originally thought that the Wet Tribe also had some kind of advanced technology, but in the end, they found that it seemed that they had chosen the "powerful brick flying" method.

The removed armor alone weighs nearly a hundred tons, no wonder the Fathead Fish has such poor mobility.

The outer armor was removed, and the internal fuel tanks were also opened and cleaned.

This may be why the Wet Tribe had to make their machines so large. It would be difficult to use nuclear energy in such new mechs in the short term, and they don't have black velvet like the Aurora.

To maintain sufficient range for the mechs, they need a large enough fuel tank. To carry enough fuel, they need a large enough engine. A large engine requires even more fuel. In addition, they need to ensure that this large arsenal won't explode easily, so they need to add more external armor.

Add more flour when there's too much water, add more water when there's too much flour, and that's how this huge thing came about.

Even after removing all the useless parts from the outside, this behemoth still weighs 55 tons.

Dozens of weapon platforms temporarily served as cranes, transporting several of the most complete Fathead Fish weapons and some spare parts to the nearest Aurora Science Center.

To prevent the wet tribes from stealing it, Aurora deployed a sufficient number of defense forces.

Then, quite arrogantly, it flew in a straight line through the air, passing over Poland and over the Baltic Sea, before passing through Sweden and arriving in Svalbard, Norway.

Svalbard guards the Arctic shipping route and is an important base for Aurora in the Arctic direction, as well as a wet brain data center that Aurora has been carefully building.

Many scientists specializing in aurora borealis have long been based here, conducting various research projects.

A Norwegian military cave on the Svalbard fjord, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on the other, is located at 78 degrees north latitude, bringing extreme cold.

In 2007, in order to address the loss of crop genetic resources caused by war, natural disasters and climate change and to ensure global food security, Norway began to establish a global seed bank here, which was also supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

The management agency of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture officially recognized the Global Seed Vault, making it an important part of the treaty's funding strategy. It officially began operation in 2008.

This place has always operated under a black-box management mechanism. The ownership and control of the stored seed samples belong entirely to the depository institutions, including agricultural research institutions and international gene banks in various countries. The Norwegian government is only responsible for storage and safekeeping; it does not own the seeds or have the right to use them. Only the depositor has the right to open the boxes and retrieve the seeds.

During the Syrian civil war, the International Centre for Arid Zone Agriculture's seed bank in Aleppo was unable to sustain itself, so for the first time it retrieved its stored wheat, barley, chickpea, and other seeds from there to replant and propagate in Morocco and Lebanon. These were all ancient varieties adapted to arid environments.

Norway has always been a country with a strong sense of crisis. While establishing a high-quality seed bank, it also secretly built an incredibly extravagant underground shelter.

Norway, which has always been known for its transparency, has taken a completely secretive approach to this national security issue.

The Arctic Treaty signed in Paris in 1920 confirmed Norway’s full sovereignty over Svalbard, but also stipulated that the area was a demilitarized zone, in which theoretically no military facilities could be built or permitted to be built.

However, the Norwegian government felt that since we were only seeking refuge and had not deployed any weapons, it was not against the rules.

These shelters are built 120 meters inside sandstone mountains in permafrost regions, at an altitude of over 100 meters, ensuring that they will not be submerged even if the polar ice caps melt completely.

The facilities are designed to withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake and a nuclear attack, and are very well-equipped. The Norwegian government considers them the ultimate solution for the end of the world.

Later, with the aurora borealis as their backing, they went even further and started doing all sorts of crazy things.

Anyway, Norway's military defense is all handled by Aurora, and it's all done by Aurora, so what does it have to do with Norway?

In short, this became a research base for aurora and an important military hub.

In a gigantic laboratory, a few scientists from Aurora, under the guise of official business, recklessly squandered computing power. Data transmission began across countless brainstorming centers worldwide, with countless dormant humans providing a frenzy of creative input.

Several scientists felt that they were incredibly powerful. Given some time, analyzing the universe would be a piece of cake. At one point, they even felt like they were gods!

It's a pity that Newton and Darwin faced many disagreements in their later years; and who can fully understand Bohr and Planck?

Schrödinger, a genius of his generation, only knew the life and death of the cat in the box.

Who rules the fate of this vast and boundless land? It is us, us, us!

They became enamored with this feeling of omnipotence, and even harbored some unsavory thoughts. They wanted to cultivate a powerful enemy to maintain their own prestige, pretending that the Wet Clan's technology was exceptional, and stall for time.

While we're at it, we might just solve some world-class problem and make history.

However, Jasmine was not one to tolerate nonsense. The wet tribe's technology wasn't particularly impressive, so Jasmine gave them a good shock, telling them to get back to work and upload their results to the Aurora database.

Lanai Island, Alliance Conference.

Amy calmly said, "Simply put, the core of the Wet Clan is in the Wet Brain Center. They divide the overall logical chain into 3 layers, with the Wet Brain Center being the core layer."

The convergence layer consists of slightly larger nodes, which consume slightly more power.

Then there are the signal spheres that appeared in Poland; they are smaller and more suitable for propagation.

This setup is simply because they don't have Starlink as a supporting network.

Controlling large mechs requires sufficient computing power, which is why they adopted this approach.

If the chain breaks, their mechs, especially the smaller robots, won't necessarily stop working immediately.

However, various aspects such as identification, ballistic calculation, firepower allocation, and even formation coordination will be greatly affected.

The technology they used wasn't particularly novel; it was frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, with thousands of hops per second, synchronized using a pseudo-random sequence. Each sphere only recognizes a few dozen neighbors within a certain distance, and data is transmitted hop by hop.

The clock synchronization and power-on commands use extremely low frequencies with wavelengths of tens of kilometers, capable of penetrating the ground and seawater. The bandwidth is so low that it is only enough to transmit a few bits per second, but it is sufficient for transmitting timestamps and powering on the system.

We at Aurora believe that we don't need to predict their technology; we can simply burn out their frequency bands. They can't beat us in electronic warfare.

A murmur of discussion broke out in the audience. The American representative quickly coughed and asked, "Electronic warfare covers such a large area, is it even possible to succeed completely? Achieving this across the entire continent seems a bit difficult. From which direction should we attack?"

The British representative also raised his hand and asked, "We have received some French refugees. Some French people crossed the Channel by civilian boat. We can't possibly manage all the small boats."

They said there were still some resistance groups in France and Germany, some hiding in the mountains, and some fleeing convoys. There were even some medical personnel who had organized field hospitals.

The wet tribes have not yet completed the cleanup of the entire European continent in a short period of time.

Should we prioritize rescuing people? After all, electronic warfare can't be advanced that quickly.

Amy raised her head and said, "You guys are too eager to see our Aurora technology. We've already started deploying new jamming equipment. The first battle will be the decisive one. This time, we'll solve the problem for the entire European continent in one fell swoop."

The US representative nodded: "In that case, the US side has no further questions."

The Tokyo University representative, who had clearly received specific information about the aurora, said into the microphone, "We also agree to launch a counterattack as soon as possible."

The two big shots agreed, and the other underlings nodded in agreement, filling the meeting room with a cheerful atmosphere once again.

In reality, the entire meeting was more like a formality. The situation in Poland was obvious, and most countries guessed that the small metal balls were probably used for signal relay.

In this respect, the Aurora has a huge advantage.

Signal interference, energy conservation, and propagation attenuation are inescapable physical laws.

All high-power radars, jammers, and communication stations are limited by the amount of power they can supply.

Taking radar as an example, the echo power decreases with the fourth power of the distance. If you want to double the detection range, the power needs to be increased by 16 times.

Furthermore, radio frequency also suffers from losses, turning a huge amount of energy into heat.

Therefore, electronic warfare can easily devolve into a contest of who can shout the loudest.

While various networking and coordination algorithms are equally important, the most fundamental factor is who shouts the loudest.

The astonishing energy density of Aurora Black Velvet clearly gave Aurora the loudest voice.
