The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

When Xue Dinglu thought of this, he suddenly realized that all the trams recently should have been replaced with automatic control, right?

Are there any trams that can weigh hundreds of tons?

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up his phone to check, and to his surprise, it really existed! An electric 100-ton king truck, a driverless electric vehicle!

Xue Dinglu took a look and found that this company actually had a branch in Jiangcheng and had stock on hand.

Looking at the 8 a.m. class schedule in my hand, and then at the dreadless mech moving erratically in my consciousness space.

"Wait a minute, bro, I'll go get you an external prosthetic body." Xue Dinglu decided to skip class immediately.

……

Xue's Law has always been in a state of skipping elective courses and selectively skipping required courses. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be in big trouble in the final exam.

However, Xue Dinglu still decisively skipped class and came to the electric 100-ton king factory in Jiangcheng.

He knew that the existing electric 100-ton king trucks were products whose marketing far exceeded their actual capabilities, since the power consumption would be unimaginable if they were actually capable of carrying 100 tons.

Therefore, the so-called electric 100-ton king actually has a load capacity of only one-tenth of its rated value.

However, this is more than enough to serve as a temporary prosthetic body for the Dreadnought.

Furthermore, this thing is already the most suitable civilian product for the Dreadnought Mech.

Without any hesitation, Xue Law bought the electric Dayun Santana in full. Although this thing required a special driver's license to buy, Xue Law didn't mind secretly using some magic.

After a series of complicated procedures and operations, Xue Dinglu finally managed to bring Da Yun into the consciousness space using the Hidden Technique half a day later.

"Alright, here's your new external prosthetic body. It'll be for temporary use. Don't take it too seriously. I bet you think its performance is about the same as a toy." Xue Dinglu patted the body of the Dayun Sang.

After all, in front of those mechs that easily weigh several thousand tons, Xue Law felt that even the Hundred-Ton King form of Da Yun Sang was no match for them.

This thing is just like adding a wheelchair to it. When it really needs to recover, it will depend on it finding teammates and assembling a new machine.

Since it refused to help the Empire of Dreadnoughts attack the Rebels, it could only give 5332 a basic mobility ability before putting it back.

The fearless mech simply said, "Thank you, brother. If I return to the Empire and quell the rebellion, I will still be willing to let His Majesty the Emperor marry the princess to you."

Xue's Law: "..."

If you're not my buddy, don't even mention your feudal marriage alliances. Just hearing about them gives me a headache.

Sending the empire's princess is less appealing than sending a mecha dressed in a maid outfit to Xue Dinglu's house; he might be more interested then.

Amid Xue's complaints, the fearless mech arrived at the cockpit of the Grand Canal, quickly completed the scan, and then began disassembling the control panel.

This is the latest version of the smart truck, so the entire vehicle body adopts intelligent driving technology and includes a full range of fancy functions such as computers, televisions, and air conditioning.

However, these fearless mechs didn't need any of that. They immediately began to connect to the console, clean up the weak AI inside, and then began their own modifications.

The robotic arms that were originally just for the robot competition suddenly became incredibly powerful under its control. They quickly dismantled the miscellaneous parts, even disdaining the bulky and unsafe battery-powered fearless mechs. It said, "Brother, could you provide some more magic crystals? I'll modify the circuitry, changing it from electrical to magical energy. Then I'll definitely..."

"Alright, alright... stop talking, I'm really not interested in your princess..." Xue Dinglu hurriedly interrupted the mecha's incessant chatter.

I dismantled some more magic crystals left behind by the Great Sage. This kind of solidified magic fuel wouldn't be difficult for Xue Lude to obtain, but he had never lacked it before and hadn't deliberately sought it out, so he had to dismantle it on the spot.

While modifying the battery panel, the Dreadnought complained, "Okay, actually I think it's really derelict of her duty that the princess is 16 years old and still not married, or even engaged. As a princess, she should do her job as a political asset for the empire."

Xue's Law: "..."

He had witnessed this brother's loyalty to the empire, and even felt that "the royal family was suspected of being disloyal to the empire."

And interestingly, it is loyal to the entire empire, not the royal family.

In its eyes, it was dereliction of duty and disloyalty for the princess not to marry and instead become a political pawn.

If His Majesty the Emperor dares to indulge in beautiful women, he is derelict in his duty and disloyal.

If a minister dares to indulge in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, then he is even more disloyal and deserves to be shot.

They seem to be loyal to some kind of ideal "empire" rather than the real empire. If the empire is different from their ideal in any way, they feel that the royal ministers are not loyal enough to the empire and need to be reformed.

In short, these fearless mechs, born from the Zerg war, all have a somewhat strange way of thinking.

Perhaps this can be considered a form of cyber PTSD. They were born during the most perilous period of the Imperium's Zerg Wars and managed to wipe out the Zerg by using their mechs to fill the gaps.

Therefore, they always have a sense of urgency, the kind of urgency that if we don't improve, we will definitely be killed.

Therefore, this loyalty to an ideal empire might truly be a pathological form of cyber PTSD.

Even fearless mechs can suffer from cyberwar post-traumatic stress disorder.

From this perspective, the mentality of those rebellious mechs becomes understandable. They may have witnessed an even more deplorable side of the Empire, so they felt that the Empire was beyond saving. They wondered how the Empire could develop while being with these insects.

Why not do the opposite and simply build a perfect empire ourselves?

While Xue was still joking around with the fearless mech, discussing sending it back to the Empire the next day.

At this moment, Earth's consciousness urgently contacted Xue's Law, and only sent one message: "The giant planet you once visited has sent an urgent request for help. Their planet has been invaded by the Zerg and is under attack by the Zerg swarm."

Xue's Law: "???"

No, how come the Beast Planet is suddenly attacked by the Zerg swarm? Wasn't the Zerg swarm heading towards the Super Iron Curtain?

He immediately understood the situation and then saw that the swarm had obtained the coordinates of the giant planet by invading the super iron curtain.

Xue's Law: "..."

Even more terrifying is that the headquarters of the Super Iron Curtain, their new capital city, has been completely overrun. All the high-ranking officials have become puppets of the insects. The remaining Super Iron Curtain warriors have formed the Free Iron Curtain Federation to resist the original Super Iron Curtain and the insect swarm.

The original super Iron Curtain civilization completely disintegrated.

At the moment Xue received the information, those Freedom Iron Curtain warriors who had decided to fight to the end abandoned their home, the Super Iron Curtain, to fully support another world, the Beast Star, which had once been their enemy.

The news about the Iron Curtain was described in this style:

"Our home has fallen, but I will not let you lose your home too."

"Hold on and wait for our support."

"Long live the Iron Curtain of Freedom! Long live the Democratic People! The Super Iron Curtain is nothing but traitors!"

"Victory for freedom! The Iron Curtain is a pig!"

"The Super Iron Curtain is a pig!"

……

These two civilizations, once mortal enemies and even harboring deep-seated hatred, have surprisingly joined forces at this moment.

But are you Iron Curtain people only now realizing that the Super Iron Curtain is a pig? The first time Xue Law dealt with them, he discovered that this group of people were pigs, and arrogant, stupid pigs at that.

Chapter 310 The Establishment of the Iron Curtain of Freedom

Two days have passed since the last Fog Council on God's Sunday.

In the last instance, the Ninth Apostle received reinforcements consisting of two Zerg Queens and an entire squad of Zerg warriors.

Xue's Law, and even the Starfleet's idea, was to treat the Super Iron Curtain as the "graveyard of empires," a battlefield where the apostles would be continuously bled dry. But now it seems that the intensity of the war has far exceeded Xue's Law's expectations.

Has even the entire Iron Curtain fallen?

He frowned as he looked at the intelligence reports that had been sent back.

"It's not just that the capital has fallen. Their capital had actually been under control for a long time, but they didn't know it. Meanwhile, the soldiers on the front lines endured a series of problems, such as cut supplies, insufficient ammunition, insufficient energy, lack of medicine, and control of the air, and they actually managed to hold onto a small base. It wasn't until the other world was attacked that they probably realized that the capital had long since fallen and that the high-ranking officials had become puppets."

At this moment, the fearless mech spoke.

Xue Dinglu was taken aback. He realized that this mech was more concerned about the battle over there than he was.

Clearly, its PTSD seems to have flared up again.

"Have you encountered this situation before?" Xue asked.

"It happened. The Empire's Colony Star III was the first place to be invaded by the Zerg, but by the time the first reinforcements arrived, the local capital had already fallen and become the Zerg's stronghold. This left the first reinforcements isolated and helpless, until they all perished..."

"The capital of Colony 3 was manipulated by the insects to release all sorts of distress messages and false intelligence, luring the Empire's supporters little by little into their encirclement, and then they were swallowed up one by one. It wasn't until the support forces discovered that the capital of Colony 3 had long since fallen and that all of this was a conspiracy by the insects that they completely abandoned Colony 3 and prepared for a full-scale war."

The fearless mechs tell a story from their past war history.

Xue Dinglu also let out a breath; it seemed the situation might be more difficult than he had imagined.

"I'll go and investigate first," Xue Dinglu said.

He wasn't fully prepared to provide support, after all, the battlefield there was beyond his reach. The Ninth Apostle, the Zerg Queen, and the Zerg warriors—this kind of war couldn't be resolved simply by his participation.

Even if the main force of the Ninth Apostle was held back by their comrades in the Starfleet.

All he sees now is the swarm of insects; the original forces of the Ninth Apostle have not yet surfaced.

"Should we go and provide support?" Earth's consciousness asked.

Xue Dinglu nodded temporarily, but his brows were furrowed.

"Then go ahead, I'll be there to meet you." He knew that once Xue Lude made a certain decision, there was no stopping him, but all He could do now was to do what He could for Xue Lude.

Provide adequate support.

……

Super Iron Curtain.

Originally a local hegemon, the Iron Curtain, which was expanding its colonies to other planets, surrendered completely after holding out for no more than 48 hours.

The entire new capital, Rongdu, has completely fallen, becoming a puppet controlled by the swarm of insects, and has been sending all sorts of absurd orders and intelligence to its unsuspecting subordinate soldiers.

It wasn't until the new, uninfected leader evacuated from the capital that the remaining resistance fighters learned that the entire capital had surrendered and fallen, and that it had long since become the enemy's lair.

And all those teammates who went to support the capital according to orders will never come back.

The leader who desperately fled the capital was actually just a brigadier general, but now he is the highest-ranking leader among the still-resisting Hell Vanguard.

"Brigadier General, can we still fight? Has the Iron Curtain fallen?" This was the question that everyone still resisting wanted to ask.

“No, even though the capital has fallen and the high command has all betrayed the country, we are still fighting!” Brigadier General Aikaka said through gritted teeth. “No government has the right to betray its country and its people, and now the Iron Curtain is dead, but we are not dead!”

"We are still fighting."

On this day, this officer, who was only a brigadier general, began his speech entitled "A Letter to the People of the Iron Curtain" amidst various false information and intelligence released from the capital.

“Those leaders who once only thought about invading others have completely surrendered. They used the army's defeat as an excuse to contact the enemy and have since become their puppets. The resources you have been deducted from, those nonsensical orders, and those outrageous requests for support are all part of the enemy's conspiracy.”

"The enemy is in the capital, the enemy is in the Super Iron Curtain. I am Brigadier General Aikaka, the former Iron Curtain General. For all those who are willing to continue resisting the Zerg, the Super Iron Curtain has already fallen. All the orders you hear now are just lies fabricated by those manipulated puppets."

"It's no longer about the so-called super Iron Curtain, but about truly coming to Newcastle to join us for justice, for peace, and for the people of our homeland."
