Colonia Storm Tour

Colonia Storm Journey Author: SoonTM

After the nightmare of mind control disappeared along with the fall of Epsilon, the story of the Foehn Winds truly came to an end. The world entered a state of peace after another great war. The Foehn Winds united humanity through another means, but would their legend end so simply?

We don't know about other parallel worlds, but in our world, the legend and war of the Foehn Wind have not ended, but only begun.

This time, new people will lead the Fenfeng to once again unfold its legendary story.

Let us once again forge a solid final fortress, unleash the storm of Colonia's flanks that will sweep away all adversaries, and charge forward like the unstoppable vanguard of a raging shark.

Welcome to our world.

Book One: The Origin of the Foehn Wind - Prologue: The Origin of the Storm

Lin Haiyuan stood with his arms crossed, his expression grave, staring at the holographic projection emitting a faint green glow. He subconsciously reached into his pocket, wanting to take out a cigarette to calm himself down.

However, his empty pockets couldn't satisfy his desire for a cigarette to calm down, and besides, he wasn't exactly a "good guy" who liked smoking and drinking.

"VOLKNET System Online, Weclome Back Wings of Coronia Main Airbase Commander."

For Command & Conquer players with a relatively basic understanding of English, translating this English sentence shouldn't be too difficult.

This means the WalkerNet system is online. Welcome back to the main air base on the flank of Colonia, Commander...

"I remember I was just in front of the computer, using the flank to play online and beat up the crazy AI and finish off the AI-enhanced opponents. I was on the battlefield the whole time."

Lin Haiyuan frowned, wondering how he had suddenly been transported to another world while playing MO. And it seemed he had ended up on Colonia's air base camp, located in an artificial storm on the flank of Colonia...

"Wait a minute, before I start giving myself a 'newbie's three-part self-deprecating critique of my transmigration, I just have one question... Isn't WalkerNet supposed to be in charge of intelligence and security at the Last Fortress? How come it's also at the main base on the flank of Colonia...?"

Lin Haiyuan looked at the holographic projection in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Master."

A deep male voice began to echo in the excessively spacious control room.

"Wow! You scared me to death."

When Lin Haiyuan heard the deep male voice calling him Master, he acted as if he were a chosen SCV.

In his mind, a pink-haired, all-powerful angel with pink wings would be the one to call him Master. Being called Master by a clearly muscular, strong man gave Lin Haiyuan goosebumps.

However, the powerful male voice clearly did not consider Lin Haiyuan's mental feelings, "Master, I am not only in the last fortress, but also in the headquarters of the Mad Shark Vanguard and the flank of Colonia. My existence is only natural."

Faced with Walker.com's AI answering his questions in a serious manner, Lin Haiyuan also managed to suppress the trembling he felt when a burly man called him Master.

"You have all three sub-factions? Looks like you're still doing EVA's work."

Lin Hai originally thought that if Walker.com's AI was still like EVA, then his statement would be valid.

Yes, or no.

Walker.com's AI gave a rather ambiguous answer.

"Hey, hey, hey, how can an AI give such an ambiguous answer? Your behavior doesn't seem like that of a binary computer, does it?"

Lin Haiyuan's statement was made half-jokingly and without much thought.

"Master, I was built by a quantum computing institution. Binary computing is a very outdated product of the Allied forces, and ternary computers are a product of the Soviet army."

Walker.com's AI spoke in a completely flat tone, but Lin Haiyuan sensed a hint of disdain and arrogance in it.

"Judging from what you're saying, let's put the Soviet army aside for now. The computer chip set that the Allies are using on the Paradox Engine is still binary?"

Lin Haiyuan plopped down on the cold floor made of nanocomposite materials; there were no seats in the place that looked like they were suitable for sitting down.

There has long been a claim that the Colonia flank air base was modified from the Paradox engine. The limitations of the game engine prevented the Paradox engine from being made too large, but according to one source...

The Paradox Engine is actually the same size as the alien mothership in the movie Independence Day, so the idea of ​​teleporting reinforcements from it is not unscientific at all; there was always that space available. Otherwise, you wouldn't think the EU was adrift in the Atlantic relying solely on its remaining naval fleet.

"No, Master, it's a photonic computer."

Walker.com's AI uttered a word that Lin Haiyuan found somewhat unfamiliar.

"Photonic computer?"

After hearing this, Lin Haiyuan thought about it for a while before recalling the few words about photonic computers he had seen on an encyclopedia.

A photonic computer is a new type of computer that uses optical signals to perform digital calculations, logical operations, information storage, and processing.

"Oh, I see."

After thinking about it, Lin Haiyuan nodded indifferently. Photonic computers were much less sophisticated than quantum computers.

Then the entire core control room fell silent, because Lin Haiyuan did not speak, and Walker.net AI did not say anything either.

"Hiss..."

Lin Haiyuan lay down on the floor like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, staring at the sci-fi-style circuit with green current flowing through it.

"Walker.com AI, when did I arrive here, and when did you arrive here?"

He asked the question that had been on his mind the most; he desperately needed to know what was going on around him.

"The database does not contain data to answer this question; the Master's question cannot be answered."

Walker.com's AI delivered the words Lin Haiyuan had expected almost without pause.

He learned from Walker.com, which had only been online for a short time, that even the artificial intelligence in front of him didn't know where he or he came from.

"Okay, you just said 'Welcome back, Commander' on the holographic projection, so why would you think I'm Colonia's flank commander?"

Lin Haiyuan believes that Walker.com's AI should be able to answer this question.

"The Commander Database in the Core Database indicates that you are the only online commander of the Foehn Resistance Colonia with the highest authority."

Walker.com's AI provided a strong and resilient response.

"Could it be because I used the flank before I transmigrated that I ended up at the flank's air base? If I had used the fortress, would I be in Alaska commanding the last fortress...?"

Lin Haiyuan spoke his inner thoughts in a voice that was almost a whisper.

"If you, Commander Lin Haiyuan, are the last commander online with the corresponding authority, you are indeed able to command the last fortress."

Walker.com's AI truthfully answered his whispered question.

"Huh? Did you hear what I said? Never mind, that's not the issue right now."

Lin Haiyuan sprang to his feet with a somersault, dusted off non-existent dust around him, and looked around.

"According to what you just said, wouldn't I be the only living person in Colonia's flank air base?!"

He always felt that the world suddenly became eerily quiet.

"Of course, that's why I address you as Master, not Commander."

Walker.com's AI response confirmed his guess.

Am I the last living person on Colonia's flank base...?

"Heh heh..."

Lin Haiyuan took a deep breath to calm his excitement and unease. He was excited because he could directly control the entire flank base of Colonia! This was a feat that no one else could accomplish!

What's unsettling is that he's the only living person in this Colonia flank base, accompanied only by Walker.net AI, and he's completely unaware of his surroundings. He's forever left behind his familiar environment and world, unable to see his friends and family from his previous world again.

"However, don't think I'm a coward who cries and whines after being away from my familiar environment and world for a while! I'd love to!"

Lin Haiyuan's lips curled into a ferocious smile.

As a mortal who wanted to transcend the mundane world but didn't want to become a true god, what he most wanted to get rid of was that boring mundane world, so after his fear came a mad, ecstatic grin.

"Master, please be careful to keep your emotions stable. Excessive emotional fluctuations are not conducive to calm command. Your expression is very similar to that of most Epsilon commanders."

Walker.com's AI offered a lukewarm reminder.

"To be honest, I quite like the ways of Epsilon. At least their pinnacle achievements in gene technology allow them to create clone soldiers for me to fight and customize girls to my liking."

Lin Haiyuan shrugged. "Not only that, mind control technology can give you everything about the controlled person, including their soul if you want."

Any secret hidden within the mind will be exposed before the power of the mind, and even robots will turn against you under the influence of malicious thoughts.

"The WalkerNet database stores Epsilon genetic technology data and has corresponding facilities, but those are for the Foehn Infantry who have lost their limbs."

Walker.com's AI statement immediately made Lin Haiyuan's eyes light up.

"What?! You have Epsilon's genetic technology in your database?! And it's even been used in actual combat!"

Lin Haiyuan rubbed his palms and licked his dry lips.

“Master, we did not build the Epsilon cloning cylinder, but only the cloning regeneration chamber for the regeneration of severed limbs and organs.”

Walker.com answered Lin Haiyuan's question truthfully.

"cut."

Lin Haiyuan was greatly disappointed, but then he clapped his hands and slammed his fists together.

"Now that I am the final commander of the Foehn Wind, tell me the basic situation of the Colonia flank base."

Lin Haiyuan decided to ask Walker.com's AI questions slowly. Walker.com's AI, which uses quantum computing technology, answered his questions with almost no delay, in order to avoid the embarrassment of having to ask a second time.

"The Colonia core system is operating normally, the hangar system is operating normally, the nano-maintenance system is operating normally, the nano-regeneration system is operating normally, the airflow control system is on standby, the time shield system is on standby, and the core network system is confirmed to be normal."

"Defense system detected: Colonia's internal defense system is normal, Colonia's external defense system is normal, mechanical defense system is normal, personnel defense system is unresponsive, due to lack of connectable defense personnel."

Next came a whole bunch of test information. What would seem like a boring and tedious stream of data to an ordinary person was quite interesting to Lin Haiyuan.

This was because it was the first time he had been able to gain a general understanding of the structure of Colonia's flank base, a privilege that even some three-wheeled vehicles might not enjoy.

The test was completed in one minute, and the conclusion was that apart from the fact that only Commander Master was alive at the base, resulting in a lack of human defense and personnel, there were no other major problems.

However, there were quite a few minor problems.

“Master, we have lost all our satellites for navigation and orbital strike missions in suborbital and low Earth orbit. Without the satellite system network that those satellites form, we cannot carry out any military operations, or even locate our current operations.”

Walker.com AI reported their predicament to Lin Haiyuan.

Lin Haiyuan really wanted to strike a pose like Gendo Ikari, with his fingers interlaced in front of his nose, but he wasn't sitting on any chair or table to support his arms. Doing that pose would make him look like some kind of idiot.

He could only put his hands behind his back, looking at the green screen projected by the holographic projection system in front of him, preparing to give the order for WalkerNet to launch the satellite system into orbit one by one using the mass accelerator, which is essentially a large railgun, when WalkerNet's AI reported something that surprised him.

"Master, based on the radio waves collected by the astronomical observation system and the radio communication monitoring system, and after deciphering their contents, we have obtained information about our current location."

Accompanied by the deep male voice of Walker.com AI, the screen in front of him began to display a world map that Lin Haiyuan was familiar with, of course, the Fenfeng version of the water duck green world map.
