Chapter 746: Chapter 743: Trap Plan
“They must have spotted us!”
Suddenly, Zhang Yuan’s expression changed again, as he saw the silver-white robot altering its course, swiftly heading through a long corridor towards the Central Control Room.
At the end of the corridor, there was a massive alloy door. With just a flash from the two laser weapons mounted on the silver-white robot, various plasmas rose, and the door was breached with a round hole.
Only a re 13 seconds were left for the surveillance to be rebooted!
The volu of an aircraft carrier spanned over ten kiloters in length and comprised over thirty floors in a spatial three-dinsional structure, including the upper, middle, and lower decks.
Zhang Yuan quickly estimated the silver-white robot’s trajectory; it was indeed taking the shortest distance to the aircraft carrier’s Central Control Room.
One tallic door after another was being breached at a rapid pace.
“In 3 minutes, at this speed, it will be here in 3 minutes!” A calculation expert took a deep breath and said, “Correction, we have 165 seconds, 164 seconds…”
The screen began to shake once more, the enemy’s robot army was re-invading the central supercomputer. Zhang Yuan had no choice but to order a temporary shutdown of these surveillance systems. Otherwise, if the central supercomputer were compromised, the spaceship would be seized, no longer belonging to humans.
He clasped his head, rubbing his temples, striving to think of a thod with a chance of success.
It couldn’t get any worse than this; the only solution was to counter this high-performance silver-white robot with the High-dinsional Fragnt.
And the other solution was… retreat!
Yes, retreat. They had misjudged the situation and sacrificed a great number of soldiers; it was their responsibility to bear, but there was no need to sacrifice more lives.
“Professor Zhang, you and the 500 mbers of your expert team, evacuate the battlefield on the standby shuttle,” said General Guo coldly.
The situation had developed to a point where the expert team must leave, but as the battlefield commander, it wasn’t the ti for him to give up.
Zhang Yuan didn’t directly oppose the plan; he asked, “What do you intend to do?”
General Guo waved his hand, “Since it is bound to co to the Central Control Room, let’s quickly set up the electromagnetic gun at the entrance. As soon as it enters, we’ll hit it hard!”
He had another plan he hadn’t ntioned: inside the aircraft carrier, there was a hidden, extrely high-yield nuclear bomb capable of destroying the carrier – a military secret known to very few.
If all plans failed, his only option would be to blow up the nuclear bomb in a self-destruct maneuver.
But this was the worst option because the power of a nuclear bomb in a vacuum was limited and, given how large the aircraft carrier was, whether or not it could destroy the silver-white robot was uncertain. As for them, both humans and Half-sphere people, death was a certainty.
Hence, the evacuation of the expert team was essential. The loss of these 500 elites would be too significant and unnecessary.
“Understood.”
Zhang Yuan swallowed hard. As part of the upper echelons, he was aware of the hidden nuclear bomb within the spaceship. He sighed inwardly and began motioning the staff behind him to quickly evacuate through the safe passage.
Many of the experts struggled with their expressions before turning to leave. Yet, so remained in place.
However, Zhang Yuan himself didn’t imdiately retreat; instead, he turned back and spoke softly, “General Guo, with the current plan, the chances of success are too low. By the ti we notice the robot breaking in, it ans it has also spotted us. Its reaction speed far exceeds that of humans, and it’s highly likely to gain the upper hand.”
“I think the firing speed of the High-dinsional Fragnt isn’t fast enough to actually hit it. So we’d better co up with a thod that has a higher chance of success,” Zhang Yuan said urgently without any pause.
“What thod?”
“A trap!” With limited ti, Zhang Yuan quickly explained, “Though this robot’s technology is highly advanced, and its strength far exceeds our imagination, I believe it still uses electromagnetic waves for observation… Let’s take a gamble and bet it doesn’t have X-ray vision for the doors!”
“Otherwise, it would have already discovered the location of the Central Command Center by now.”
The High-dinsional Fragnt only needed a certain amount of energy to be successfully activated, drawing in the surrounding objects. This energy could be kinetic, thermal, or so other form of energy.
Zhang Yuan’s plan was as follows: once the silver-white robot arrived at the command center and attacked the main door, they would use a laser to activate the High-dinsional Fragnt behind the door, sucking in the door along with it. That way, the opponent wouldn’t have any reaction ti left, not even 0.00001 seconds, because by the ti it reacted, the event would have already occurred.
Of course, this plan was extrely risky. It would take less than 0.5 seconds for the silver-white robot’s Laser Weapons to breach the Super Alloy door, and Zhang Yuan wasn’t sure how long the Central Control Room’s door could hold. They had to work within 0.5 seconds. Only by activating the High-dinsional Fragnt within that ti fra, precisely when it attacked the door, was there a possibility of success…
Moreover, there was no way to predict in advance how far from the door the robot would be when it attacked. They could only take that gamble.
“So, we must strictly control the timing of the High-dinsional Fragnt’s activation. Too early or too late won’t work.”
General Guo bit his lower lip; he understood the whole plan. Firing the electromagnetic gun also required manual operation. It’s possible in just that split second, 0.01 seconds, the silver-white robot could dodge it.
But by using this covert trap, if successful, it surely wouldn’t be able to avoid it.
At this mont, there was no ti for further consideration. With a forceful wave of his hand, General Guo said, “Let’s do as you suggested!”
Zhang Yuan said, “Then let execute this plan. I need two assistants skilled in computations—one who is familiar with the High-dinsional Fragnt, to accurately estimate the activation ti… and another to join in trying to reboot the central mainfra’s surveillance. Without surveillance assistance, we can’t carry out this plan! Even if we are truly invaded by a virus, we must persist for a short ti.”
Two relevant experts quickly stepped forward, assuming a great risk to their lives and foregoing the opportunity to leave with the rest.
“Tell my wife, I love her!”
As the initiator of the plan, Zhang Yuan didn’t have ti for a lengthy farewell. He hastily directed the remaining experts to evacuate.
Now was not the ti for sentintalities!
After such an arrangent, these intellectuals boarded a small shuttle through the safety passage and evacuated. anwhile, General Guo personally led a large group of Half-sphere Civilization soldiers into battle, aiming to delay the enemy by even a second longer.
“It must succeed.”
“Please!”
Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and pressed a button on the central mainfra, which suddenly reactivated part of the spaceship’s surveillance.
The screens shook violently, showing nurous Black Robot figures. These robots had connected to the network and were fighting for control of the spaceship.
Then, he took out a personal computer and injected the Ten-thousand-year Worm Digital virus into the central supercomputer. The outbreak of the Ten-thousand-year Worm also took ti, and the central supercomputer had a certain level of resistance against this virus, so the Digital virus would, in turn, attack through the network cables.
“Try to take control now!”
Whether using the virus as a counterattack to persist for a while, Zhang Yuan was rely guessing…
