Colonia Storm Tour

Within minutes, the invisible FraxinusEX caught up with the Lunar Beastmen who were still on their way to attack the Shark Vanguard Base.

"Disable camouflage and auto-evasion, retract magic cannon and prepare to attack from the rear of the formation."

Lin Haiyuan gave the order: "The auxiliary magic cannon is also a bit of a headache facing so many berserkers. It would be better to just use the convergence magic cannon to wipe out a whole area of ​​berserkers on the moon."

The appearance of Fraxinus EX, once again emerging from the lunar sky, brought a horrifying greeting to the still-advancing lunar berserkers: a golden beam of light converging the magic cannon.

The golden beam of light, like the divine breath beam from a super fortress, instantly vaporized a densely packed group of lunar berserkers in a straight line, without any delay.

However, even when suddenly attacked, these lunar berserkers did not stop because of the death of their companions or the attack. Instead, they stubbornly continued to move in the designated direction.

"These berserkers really seem to be all muscle and no brains. They didn't even have time to look at the enemy when they were suddenly attacked."

Gardenia commented on the unmoved, advancing army of lunar berserkers.

"This is the price of having such tough skin and massive muscles: a significant drop in IQ, but it also makes things easier for us."

Alice thought that these lunar berserkers wouldn't scatter and flee because of the attack from the sky, which would make it easier for them to harvest them.

"Because we don't need to go to great lengths to have drones search the entire moon to find these stragglers."

Lin Haiyuan didn't want these beastmen to run around, because if they were observed, it would inevitably cause embarrassment and suspicion.

A few seconds later, the second Convergence Magic Cannon annihilated the Moon Berserkers and part of the lunar surface. At this point, the entire Moon Berserkers had suffered visible losses.

[Report: One-third of the berserkers have been eliminated.]

The Fraxinus EX's shipborne system immediately provided the battle results.

"Alright, continue using the Convergence Magic Cannon to eliminate these berserkers. These monsters won't change direction, making them too easy to wipe out in groups."

Artemisia nodded.

"I remember there was another base controlling these berserkers, so why haven't they adjusted their formation after being attacked?"

Charlotte asked the question.

"Because these berserkers are just used as expendable resources, that is, a kind of cannon fodder that is more effective at attracting fire. However, it is quite a headache for most people, tanks and defensive facilities to get close to these cannon fodders."

Alice succinctly revealed the Beastman's true nature.

"Even though they are consumables and cannon fodder, we can't waste them like this. The AI ​​of this out-of-control base doesn't seem very smart."

You Huazhizi believes that the actions of these berserkers should be controlled to better draw fire, instead of foolishly advancing and getting wiped out.

"After all, the AI ​​in these out-of-control bases is the previous generation of Walker.net AI, so it's natural that it's not flexible enough."

Lin Haiyuan in the picture gives an explanation that sounds very reasonable.

It's a bit strange for an AI that doesn't seem very smart to join the Fenfeng team. If it were a product of the previous generation of the best existing AI, then these phenomena would be quite normal.

"Moreover, the AI ​​in these bases has gone out of control. If the AI's loss of control is similar to human anger or rage, then it is not surprising that it does stupid things."

She spoke from Artemisia's perspective.

"The AI ​​in these bases wasn't programmed to have emotions. At most, their decision-making is chaotic in terms of logic. You have to understand that this kind of AI is only used to automatically build outposts, not to manage a super-large base or even a country. In terms of computing power, it is far inferior to our WalkerNet AI."

Alice doesn't mention Odin's AI identity here, nor has she mentioned it before.

"Judging from its attitude towards its troops and its strategic planning, I've never seen AI command battles before, but I feel that WalkerNet's AI is definitely stronger than these out-of-control base AIs."

"The magician crew member exclaimed."

I'll be taking a break tomorrow... let's see if taking a day off will help my condition improve.

Holy shit, this rain is getting heavier and heavier! I'm freezing! It's so frustrating to have to rely on my clothes and my own body to keep warm without any heating... I even feel cold in bed.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Dazed Shark (X)

After using the Convergence Magic Cannon to defeat the Moon Beastmen horde that had formed a long, dark dragon, FraxinusEX re-entered stealth mode and headed towards the outskirts of the Shark Vanguard Base.

"The target is 169 meters away. Stop here. If it gets any closer, we will be detected by our equipment."

Lin Haiyuan could already see the mobile acoustic probe operating on the moon on the monitor—in the absence of an environment that would allow sound waves to propagate normally, the mobile acoustic probe would instead use special sensors to perform its mission.

"This distance is sufficient for us to securely send authentication data. Now begin transmitting the authentication data stream, Odin."

Alice said, supporting her left cheek which was tilted to the left.

"Authentication data stream is being transmitted..."

Odin looked at the percentage progress bar of the holographic projection in front of him, while at the same time, the main display of FraxinusEX also showed the percentage progress bar of the authentication data stream.

[Authorization data stream transmitted: 1%…………]

Quantum data streams from the Antarctic underground base and the Colonia flank air base were relayed to the far side of the moon via satellite and other means, and soon the satellite antennas at the Mad Shark Vanguard Base received the quantum data streams.

"Incoming Transmission, Communication Steam Authentication decisionig..."

A report was made in both male and female voices in the command room of the Fenfeng Construction Site, just like the one in the air fortress Ilikara.

If an ordinary person were to hear such a yin-yang tone, they would definitely feel a little uncomfortable. However, at present, there is no commander with the authority to handle this matter in the command room of this construction site.

The desk, which should have housed a commander, was empty except for a common office chair.

The entire Mad Shark Vanguard Base remained unchanged despite receiving quantum authentication data streams from the two Burning Wind allied factions; the Megalodon mechs and Thunderbird unmanned anti-aircraft vehicles remained stationary in their respective combat positions.

"The signal fluctuations emitted by the FraxinusEX relay quantum data stream are already quite obvious, yet the Mad Shark Vanguard Base still hasn't chosen to send air defense units to guard against us or communicate directly with us. Their behavior is not like that of a human."

Alice looked on with curiosity.

"It's very likely that a non-out-of-control AI is controlling this Shark Vanguard Base, but... it shouldn't be like this."

Lin Haiyuan felt something was wrong. Based on his and Alice's examples, if a Mad Shark Vanguard Base appeared, it must have been accompanied by a corresponding transmigrator commander.

"Why do you say that, Chief Lin?"

Gardenia asked, puzzled.

"The original division of responsibilities determined that the highest commander of the final fortress was Alice, the highest commander of the Colonia flank was me, Lin Haiyuan, and the highest commander of the Mad Shark Vanguard was Moni, who was an acquaintance of both Alice and me."

Lin Haiyuan placed his hand on his chin and stroked it: "If a Mad Shark Vanguard base appears, then our friend Moni should naturally be in the Mad Shark Vanguard base, because there is only one Mad Shark Vanguard base."

“But this doesn’t look like the kind of base she would set up, because this kind of base construction style, which involves radiating out a base and placing defensive facilities wherever there is space, is AI’s, not human’s.”

Alice continued Lin Haiyuan's words.

"Could it be...?"

The presence of gardenias already evokes a range of possibilities.

"She must have experienced some kind of supernatural event that prevented her from commanding the battle; most likely, she was seriously injured."

Lin Haiyuan tapped the table with his left-hand fingers.

"But how can she be seriously injured in the lunar environment... There's no oxygen supply once she leaves the construction site, and she wouldn't be stupid enough to run out and suffocate or freeze to death, would she?"

Alice felt the possibility of being seriously injured was too small.

"She wouldn't leave the construction site unprepared, but what if she went out wearing a mechanically powered exoskeleton like an Ironclad or a Synchronized Ronin?"

Lin Haiyuan stopped touching his chin, which was completely bare.

"Why would she run out when the outside environment is not safe? Even if it is to carry out exploration and reconnaissance work, shouldn't it be done by drones?"

Alice thought this didn't make sense.

"If she really wants to seek thrills, she will definitely choose to go out in the Iron Cavalry or Synchronized Ronin gear. It would be strange if she didn't go out."

In Lin Haiyuan's memory, Moni was unable to resist the allure of a genuine mechanical powered exoskeleton and nano combat suit.

"If she really wanted to seek thrills, then this time she really went too far and almost lost her life."

Alice sighed after she finished speaking.

"Chief Lin Haiyuan, Chief Alice, even if you are seriously injured, can't you be cured quickly with advanced nanotechnology and gene technology?"

Charlotte raised her hand and asked.

"That depends on the situation. If the injuries are so severe that the person is on the verge of death, then it will take much longer to heal."

Lin Haiyuan explained to her that her body, where her heart had been punctured, was still lying in the treatment pod, and the estimated recovery time was one month.

"I see, I understand now."

Charlotte nodded in understanding.

"Moreover, as far as I know, the Mad Shark Vanguard Base is not equipped with genetic facilities. If it suffers any serious injury, it can only rely on nanodrones for treatment. In the above situation, nanodrones also need time to heal."

When Alice finished speaking, Odin, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

"Authentication data transmission complete... Shark Vanguard Base communication access in progress..."

[Authentication data stream transmitted: 100%]

The familiar Frosinus Shark logo and the Frosinus Vanguard Arrow Circuit flag appeared on both sides of the holographic projection and on the main display of "FraxinusEX", but further development of the graphics ended there.

"Coronia's flank, the last stronghold, hello, welcome to Mad Shark Vanguard."

The androgynous voice echoed in three places.

"Huh, that's a voice that's neither male nor female..."

Gardenia's expression turned strange.

"What's with this familiar eunuch voice...?"

Alice stared at the holographic projection with a strange expression.

"It's possible that the AI ​​at the base randomly selected a voice scheme after the connection with Walker.com's AI was broken. Now is not the time to pay attention to this; we don't have any important matters to attend to."

"When did the voice acting for the Evil Spirit Attack Machine become usable as EVA's voice?" Lin Haiyuan thought to himself.

The nanobot Lin Haiyuan assumed the posture of Commander Ikari: "We want to see the Supreme Commander of the Mad Shark Vanguard. Please have her come out to see us."

Faced with Lin Haiyuan's straightforward request, the AI ​​at the Mad Shark Vanguard Base surprisingly hesitated for a minute or two before responding.

"Supreme Commander Moni is unable to meet with the other two commanders."

The AI ​​at the Shark Vanguard Base gave a simple and direct answer.

"why?"

Lin Haiyuan questioned.

"Because Supreme Commander Moni was seriously injured and is currently receiving treatment in a nanotherapy chamber, he is unconscious."
