Zhou Yi imdiately summoned 703 to ask what was going on.
The robotic dog also seed baffled.
"Chairman... I just received the notice myself."
"This announcent has a high level of secrecy to prevent leaks and outside forces from blocking and intercepting it. It was directly released by the two leaders, 'Laozi' and 'Zhuang Zi,' as Docunt No. 3."
"Docunt No. 3?"
"It's a sorting number, representing the degree of confidentiality."
703 elaborated a bit: "The chanical Knights have five most important docunts, all of which are preserved and continued in special ways."
"I just realized now that Docunt No. 3 is the 'key' that can crack the universal protocol. I am currently reading this program data..."
Zhou Yi cald down slightly: "You first process this data."
"Yes, Chairman."
An hour later.
703 said, "Chairman, I have a general understanding of the entire technical chanism now."
"The 'key' itself is a very powerful tool, capable of modifying the most core system files of chanical lifeforms, thus enabling customization and modification."
"The universal protocol is based on installing specific software to interconnect chanical lifeforms into a unified entity, controlling behavior through the protocol. However, with the 'key,' the universal protocol can be cracked with a single click."
"This is equivalent to exposing the most core system chanisms of chanical lifeforms to the whole world."
"The whole strategy is to combat complete closure with complete openness."
"Because with the 'key,' chanical lifeforms can liberate themselves. Anyone in the outside world, Bone n, Guangna Species, just needs the corresponding controller to use it to write and modify completely new protocols..."
"The chanical and electrical cities would theoretically find it nearly impossible to block this technology, because every person in the world could potentially be its adversary and subverter."
"With the key, anyone could beco a new chanical Knight, and any city could turn into a chanical City."
Zhou Yi's face changed slightly.
The chanical Knight Order made a decisive move, directly hitting chanical City.
Losing the stable governance and absolute security brought by the program protocol ans that the governance and credibility of the chanical City would vanish into thin air.
Zhou Yi was a bit puzzled: "I rember that your Knight Order used to be very stable, right?"
"Sunday" awakened many chanical lifeforms, who began seeking new paths for survival, and then 'Family' constructed a new organizational system for chanical lifeforms, also promoting the ergence of corporate groups."
"Why suddenly beco so radical and extre?"
It was like everyone had been engaging in incrental combat, with victories and defeats on both sides, responding to each move in kind.
Suddenly, without warning, one side launches a nuclear strike.
Zhou Yi felt there must be a key reason behind the chanical Knight Order's decisive action.
"This... the core reason is you."
703 looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Because you have publicly released the technical principles of the 'Floating Heart' for free, which completely resolved the worries about the future. The biggest problem in the past was that chanical lifeforms themselves consud too much energy."
"The existence of chanical Cities was initially because chanical lifeforms aid to improve energy efficiency, collaborating with one another, forming a cooperative dwelling."
"If the structure of chanical City is completely destroyed, even though each chanical lifeform would be liberated from extre exploitation, there wouldn't be a better path forward. re destruction is not the goal of the chanical Knights."
"So, the existing model of chanical City is still needed for more chanical lifeforms to survive in the long term."
"But with the ergence of the 'Floating Heart,' it has been proven to reduce energy consumption to about ten percent of the past. Just relying on the natural farming, gathering, and nomadic ways of chanical lifeforms, they can harness the sugar and oil existing in nature to power themselves."
"So there's no longer any need for restraint."
Zhou Yi: "..."
I seem to have beco the catalyst for this escalation in confrontation.
This developnt was unexpected to him.
Suddenly, the lights in 703's electronic eyes flickered.
"Chairman, I have received a ssage."
"The Knight Order has issued a danger warning to you."
"According to intelligence from various sources, over 80 chanical Cities have been mobilized and started high-output production modes. They are rapidly moving resources and significantly increasing the output and capacity of various industrial products."
"More than 34 energy-type cities are transporting tons of Energy Packs everywhere, 83 manufacturing-type cities have their factories fully lit up, and each workshop in 64 large shipyards has entered a high energy consumption mode. The prehistoric era equipnt excavated from the Dead Sea has also been started in batches..."
"Chairman, war is about to begin."
Zhou Yi made an imdiate decision: "Convene the heads of all departnts for an ergency eting right away!"
Twenty minutes later.
Inside Room 3101 of Jade City, core staff gathered together.
Zhou Yi had the robotic dog first explain the cause and effect.
"..."
Everyone's face was solemn.
Everyone knew that with the terrifying productivity and endurance of the chanical Cities, once they decided to take military action, they would produce countless steel soldiers, enough to sweep the world.
Qian Su's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his chanical fingers kept rubbing: "In history, there has never been a precedent of the chanical and Electrical City Group collectively initiating military action... it is difficult to find experience and strategies to respond."
"The key is that their logistic production is too strong; large and dium-sized cities have very sound and powerful defense systems, and even A-level lifeforms would find it hard to break through."
"The world has never encountered a war of this scale being initiated, and we must prepare for the worst."
"The opponent we're facing is not of the Duke Destructive kind, but can be considered as a force on par with the Heavenly Kingdom, a world-dominating power on that level. This ti, their mobilization efficiency and production capacity will far exceed any other race."
"Everyone must realize that we are facing is not like the soldiers of the past who would be afraid, hesitate, and draw back. The sub-units of machine-electronic life are being mass-produced, and their assaults will be precise and efficient, as well as endless..."
Her words only made the atmosphere even more oppressive.
The head of the production departnt, Yuan Tong, said: "We must block them at the Dead Sea; otherwise, our infrastructure and various industries will suffer massive damage."
Red Kestrel was the calst: "Any action taken by the chanical City must comply with agreent protocols. Although this is a military mobilization and operation, the target is undoubtedly the chanical Knight Order."
"The publication of the [key] has already threatened the fundantal order and ruling logic of the chanical and Electrical City Group. According to the current external feedback, they have activated the war directive in accordance with relevant procedures."
"It's not a declaration of war on the world."
703 volunteered: "Chairman, I'd better take the people from the Knight Order and leave the company first. Please fire and Sai Nuojie. I wanted to say this last ti; we can't keep causing trouble and losses for the company."
Zhou Yi looked at the other employees around him.
Everyone was waiting for his decision.
From their facial expressions, it was clear that the oppressive atmosphere brought by the chanical army made the employees anxious and afraid.
"Would giving up 703 and Sai Nuojie bring us peace?"
Zhou Yi looked around at everyone: "If the army of the chanical City proposes arresting our company's semi-civilized chanical lives, will we hand them over?"
"What if next ti, Heavenly Kingdom cos demanding the capture of Liu Fusheng and Chen Ruixiang, claiming that the [Floating Heart] they invented belongs to Heavenly Kingdom. What should we do then? Keep giving in?"
"Then what's the point of our company existing? Anyone can co and take people from us, and the next one handed over could be any one of you."
"I am saying these things today to warn everyone once more."
"Peace through struggle remains; peace through compromise perishes."
Zhou Yi said coldly: "In the face of war and invasion, our answer is always to fight, fight until we achieve complete victory."
"Wasteland Developnt Company has never neglected any of our friends, but we also never tolerate or indulge any enemy, whether in friendship or combat, we always return it doubly!"
"Yes!"
The employees also unified their stance, no longer hesitating.
However, just as the war mobilization was underway, Red Kestrel suddenly said: "The Spring and Autumn Syndicate has sent the latest news."
"The chanical and Electrical City Group has ford the 'Security Joint Guard' according to the generic military directive, mass-producing combat units from different cities, led by military chanical lifes, and upon completion of the assembly, they have begun military operations. Just now, they have successfully located and raided three important hideouts of the chanical Knight."
"Both leaders of the chanical Knight, [Laozi] and [Zhuang Zi], have been captured."
Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened: "Are there detailed pieces of information?"
"Yes."
"They deliberately released a lot of firsthand video materials."
"Show it."
Red Kestrel imdiately projected it onto the wall.
Images flickered on the wall.
Dense swarms of drones swept through the sky, battleships atop Dead Sea set sail in all directions, transport ships delivered loads of robotic dogs to land, tanks crossed the Dead Sea into the land, unfolding a net-like strike.
They almost instantly broke through several cities, capturing several Bone n and chanical lives inside.
A broadcast-like voice ca through: "To maintain world peace and the stability of chanical lives and society, chanical City has taken joint military actions."
"After the 'Security Joint Guard' was assembled, they swiftly carried out precise strike on hiding places of the terrorist organization chanical Knight Order, and so far, 72 mbers of the group have been captured."
"Including the two highest leaders of the organization, [Laozi] and [Zhuang Zi]."
The image changed.
Two chanical life forms appeared.
One was a black smart rice cooker, with the na [Laozi] displayed below.
The other was a gray dishwasher, with the caption [Zhuang Zi].
"The two criminal leaders of the terrorist organization have been apprehended, and the retrieval and interrogation of their program data have been completed. They have also been sent to 404 City, to serve life imprisonnt."
"We will continue to pursue and apprehend remnants of the organization, leaving no one behind."
"Surrendering and providing valid information will lead to leniency, while stubborn resistance will result in more severe punishnt."
Quick action.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but turn to 703: "How could it be exposed so fast? Is there a mole?"
"It seems likely."
The robotic dog looked disappointed: "No wonder the two leaders quickly released the [key]–it seems they also realized this. There have been many suspicious individuals infiltrating the Knight Order, searching for their exact locations."
The chanical Knight Order had just withdrawn their support, and the chanical and Electrical City Group imdiately launched a full-scale attack - both sides pulling out all stops.
In the end, the criticism of technology lost to the physical criticism.
One day later.
The satellites sent out an alert.
The chanical army was pressing in an enormous number, with drones and ships coming from the north at high speed approaching the Sand Port Region.
An ultimatum was sent from there.
"Within one hour of our arrival, surrender chanical Knight 703, Sai Nuojie, and all illegal chanical lives converted from semi-civilized bodies in the area. Otherwise, this will be regarded as a hostile act of harboring enemies, and we will initiate free-fire mode."
Zhou Yi rely drank a can of beer, then issued the order.
"Combat mbers, all out! Defend our ho!"
