People's Federation will live forever

......

Li De got up from his seat, faced the senior leaders of the fraternity at the conference table, and said solemnly:

"So, everyone, I am here to announce the implementation of the second phase of the plan. The departments, the military and the industrial centers must cooperate closely. With each effort we make, a better future is closer to us... Brotherhood period I hope everyone will do their best!"

"Follow Your Excellency's will, for the Brotherhood!" The two and a half people (Ensig counts as half) also stood up and bowed to Li De.Although Wu Wei was not interested in this set, he had already been drawn into the system and had no choice but to follow the rules.As a sincerity to join the fraternity, he has opened his quantum sub-brain to connect with the fraternity network, so he said:

"Your Excellency, I have uploaded some technical information and design blueprints to the core network, including 37 key technologies such as magnetic field control, brain interposer, and miniaturized ion technology. I am not a scientist, so I will hand over these documents to professionals. Come to study, I will not participate."

Li De and Ensig browsed the file directory at the same time, and the latter said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this just complements the technical details we lack in the fusion reactor! Although the specifications are different from our system, once I can start testing after deducing the principle in reverse! This has at least advanced our technology for 20 years!"

Controllable nuclear fusion, artificial sun!Nearly unlimited energy is the only guarantee for human beings to become a first-class civilization, and it is also the avenue for the Brotherhood to enter deep space. Even Li De is heartily pleased with the news—the technology of the Brotherhood and GDI is dependent on Tiberium. Students, very partial to science, Wu Wei filled this gap for himself, this credit is far from being matched by a brigadier general.Even the ice-cold Olivia's expression relaxed a little. Although there was no obvious expression, the general knew what it meant.

"Ensig, ask Watcher to cooperate with you in analyzing the data. I will speed up the construction progress of the second base and bring the supporting industrial facilities online as soon as possible." Li De said, "Everyone, the task has been issued, and everything is proceeding according to the scheduled plan."

"Wu Wei, you can go meet your new colleagues first, and then arrange things in your camp. Liszt has extra business to deal with, so you can't see him now, I don't think he will delay too long."

Wu Wei nodded, then took his own terminal and left first.

Then, Li De turned his attention to Olivia—"General Olivia, wait a moment, I have something to find you."

PS: Everyone, I'm back!After the year, the business will be handed over and the update will be resumed. Everything is as we said years ago.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"I thought you would strongly oppose my decision, General."

Reed and Olivia walked into a dimly lit secret room together, and the latter looked around the facility—this is the ground floor room of the MCV control center, a place that does not exist in theory.

"If you are talking about the Defense Force, then leader, your understanding of me seems to be too simple. I really hate the remnants of the GDI, but I am not so narrow-minded that I have no understanding of the overall situation." Olivier Although Ya stood by Li De's side, her attention was not on this side at all. "The day you completely handed over the old NOD Brotherhood to my hands, I knew that there would be the result today-the three major military systems of the Black Hand, the Intelligent Control Legion and the Defense Force are necessary to check and balance each other, and you will not give up the opportunity to expand your armed forces , and I, don't think the Brotherhood of Black Hands is enough."

Li De laughed suddenly, he snapped his fingers, and the room shook.As Olivia expected, the whole room is actually an elevator, but this time the elevator goes down—underground. The base has always reinforced the surface to ensure that it will not be attacked by orcs from the ground, without knowing it. Jian Li De has excavated a vast underground space under the MCV.

"No, I never doubted your vision, Olivia." Reed said.The outer wall of the elevator was a simulated screen. After falling about 20 meters, a light suddenly appeared under their feet, and the elevator came to a wide underground space.The light of industrial lighting fills the entire underground cave, and the stalactite landscape seems to have been around for thousands of years.There are a lot of engineering equipment here as on the ground, but what attracts Olivia most is the surface of the crypt, the rows of steel soldiers standing neatly—the awakened ones, and the awakened ones.

Olivia looked at the hundreds of cyborg soldiers underground and remained silent for a long time. Li De walked behind her and said in her ear, "I wanted to ask you about our new partner. opinion, the only thing I have to confirm."

"Wu Wei?" Olivia took a step to the side and said without looking back—"An interesting guy, leader, your plan to include him in the brotherhood is correct. Under our surveillance, it should be resolved as soon as possible."

"The Watcher suggested this to me, or I think so too." Li De deliberately mentioned the Watcher, but Olivia didn't respond as if he didn't hear it. Li De shrugged and could only continue:

"Except for the key technology he has mastered is extremely valuable to us, he is also a smart guy."

"Yes, he is very good at pretending to be stupid." Olivia sneered, "I am very grateful to Ensig for helping me to test him. Even if he was threatened, he could not speak out, and he also rejected most of the threats to him. Personally very beneficial conditions, this kind of person asks for a lot."

"What if he simply backed down and just wanted to fight for a better environment for his subordinates?" Li De asked back, but Olivia rolled his eyes.

"Don't test me anymore, leader, you don't look like a fool at all."

As he said that, Olivia said contemptuously: "Please maintain the demeanor that an intelligent life should have. You might as well be straightforward with me. The initiative of the transaction between you and him is completely in the hands of the Brotherhood, and I have no objection." , I am not the kind of person who aspires to have all the power, I died 20 years ago like that!"

The elevator jolted suddenly and had reached the last floor of the crypt.The wall door opened, and a group of patrolling Awakened came forward, their mechanical eyes stared at Olivia, silent communication was transmitted in their electronic brains, and the revolving machine gun on their arms was unambiguously warming up .

"Visitor identification, permission has been logged in, security level reset... Welcome to the Lhasa Road Experimental Center."

Li De snapped his fingers, and the awakened ones made a way in front of the door, lined up in two rows like a welcome committee, and after the two walked out, they followed them to the facilities scattered in the crypt.Contrary to the bustling base on the ground, this place is as deadly silent as a Siberian tomb.Pale industrial lights illuminate the dark cave, and the only living people coming and going are busy saboteur engineers.

"Liszt will keep an eye on Wu Wei. I will give him the resources of a legion, and I won't care if he wants to do something for himself." Li De said to Olivia in this way, under the guidance of a saboteur , the two of them passed through an inexplicable series of research facilities. "It's fine to do something small, as long as it doesn't harm the brotherhood, I'm willing to give him a chance to display his ability."

"You are really thirsty for talents." Olivia complained, but Li De didn't take it seriously-"It's hard to find a thousand soldiers, Olivia, I can't find an excellent commander like you There's a second one out."

"I'm glad I wasn't cloned, but... Leader, you obviously could have cloned Michelle, but you didn't do it. It seems that our leader is also holding a grudge."

"Okay, Olivia, do you think I can't beat him? At that time, I was flanked by Kane and GDI. They dispatched a hundred divisions to encircle me. I still broke through and brought you to this place." The world... It's okay, let's stop here for the irrelevant things, I came to you for more important things."

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If there is anything in Li De's armed forces that can adapt to fighting in extreme environments, it must be the Intelligent Control Legion.When the base was established, the host discovered a huge natural cavity below the base, or in other words, there were such unnatural tunnels in most of Thira's underground.For this environment that puts the base in danger, the original plan was to pour Tiberium waste to prevent orc attacks, but it wasn't until the rebuilding of the Black Hand Legion that Li De changed his measures.

He transferred all members of the Intellectual Control Legion underground—this is not difficult to understand. The predecessor of the Intellectual Control Legion, "Kane's Seal", was originally a secret cyborg army, and Li De did not intend to make them public.The host computer has already calculated what kind of mental impact these biochemical warriors transformed from the corpses of the dead will have on the black-handed soldiers. Shaking the soldiers' will is only one of them. This almost cruel practice also violates Li De's "new brother" "Spirited", slapping yourself in the face is never a wise move.

Don't say that there must be shadows behind the light, relying on means that cannot see the light is doomed to end up playing with fire and self-immolation.Although the combat effectiveness of the cyborg army is strong, the shortcoming of relying on corpses in production limits the expansion of the army. Once there is a better choice, Li De will not hesitate to give up these self-made capital, not to mention...

Olivia stared blankly at the front. There was a round coffin-shaped device on display in the open space. White liquid nitrogen mist floated from the device, and the surrounding area was completely emptied. The importance of this device is self-evident.

"Zero?"

PS: Everyone, Tuesday is usually my busiest time period. For nothing else, I will definitely work from early morning to noon on Tuesday, and I am destined to work overtime.

Chapter 110 Number Zero, Legion, and the Future

Olivia didn't realize her gaffe at all. When she saw this coffin-like facility, she ignored Li De's obstruction and rushed over in two steps, but bumped into an invisible wall and knocked her down. Bounced back.

"Olivia! Calm down!"

The sonic barrier tore the skin on her hands, and blood slid down her fingertips. This was Olivia's first injury in this world, but she didn't seem to notice, her eyes were fixed on the glass curtain wall of the equipment The blurry figure in it.As if something was constantly echoing in her mind, she ignored Li De's order and shouted in the communication network:

"Master, release the sound wave protection, let me pass!"

Legion's cold mechanical voice ruthlessly rejected her request: "Your authority is insufficient. According to the core regulations, the unfreezing of facility zero requires a higher level of permission. The threat level of this experimental unit is Alpha level, and the first level of protection has been activated. Please report any doubts to the leader."

Olivia turned around in disappointment: "What number zero! She doesn't have that name...Leader, why?!"

Li De hurried to Olivia's side, took her hand and pulled her back from the sound wave barrier: "I will give you an explanation, but before that, General, calm down your emotions, your anger interfere with your judgement."

"I know she is very important to you, but the situation is different. She is no longer your sister from the past, not anymore." Li De recalled the message from the Quantum Matrix: "I hope you are ready... Watcher, report the status of Experimental No. [-]!"

A blue projection appeared next to the device, and the watcher—a conscious body that hadn't shown up for a long time—had his hands behind his back, with an indifferent expression on his face as always.

"Sijin energy radiation has been detected, and the degree of radiation decay is being calculated... Facility Zero has been suppressed, and permission is being accepted, and a memo is being uploaded to Commander Olivia." The watchman said word by word, Then he took over part of the control of the facility, and the "coffin" was erected at ninety degrees under the control of the mechanical arm. The reinforced glass barrier swept a laser, clearing the diffuse fog so that the two could better see what was inside. Condition.

Overwatch... is doing a little too much.

Li De's face became gloomy, and he strengthened the monitoring of the watchman, and said to Olivia: "General, although it is not the best time now, you must know the risk of this matter to us...I I can understand your feelings, but number zero cannot be released yet!"

A blue light shone from the glass barrier, reflecting on Olivia's face.This light is not strong, but it vaguely reveals a kind of unsettling weirdness. The light is weak and morbid, just like its source, the "woman" lying peacefully in the closed cabin. There are seventy-five "women" in Via.

If a silver transparent person can be called a human being, then she is indeed a woman.

"No. Zero, real name (blocked), original (blocked), from (blocked) to (blocked), in the third Tiberium War, Kane led the development of Sijin technology The fusion experiment, the result of the experiment was disappointing, and it can be called a complete failure. Although the subject was revived by reactivating the nerve center that had been stagnant for 25 years, he completely lost memory and thinking modules, and his flesh and blood were completely destroyed by the traveler. The material was replaced, and the corpse of the Sijin dementor was devoured in the experiment."

"In 2049, this unit was put into the battlefield with GDI in Egypt. The unit actively cut off the connection with the control center, and destroyed seven armored companies of the Steel Talon Legion with varying amounts of personnel in seven hours. The Steel Talon Legion Lieutenant General Michel disappeared during this battle, presumably swallowed by it."

"Thirteen hours after the link was lost, a massacre occurred in Cairo, the yellow zone city. The Brotherhood was forced to nuke Cairo to eliminate three clones of the Unit 230, whose real body was captured twenty hours later."

......

Even Li De himself often thinks that the Tiberium world he travels through is too different from his understanding in the game.Every world has too many characters and too many stories. Compared with those rich lives, apart from being a time traveler, I have no more exciting life.

Starting from resurrecting Olivia, the two signed a contract.Li De knew that she cared about her sisters and compatriots, but fate made an ironic arrangement. Her sisters became monsters, and her subordinates died and came back to life, but became twisted machines that wiped out humanity.In front of him was his frozen sister, and behind him was his subordinate who lost his human form. Li De could feel the trembling of the woman beside him.He glanced at the brainwave suppressor on Olivia's head, and the device was fully powered, which meant that Olivia was restraining herself.

But Li De didn't do anything, and he didn't give comfort. Olivia is a woman, but her will is far better than ordinary people.

"I have read all the reports, I already know the situation, you don't need to explain, watchman." Olivia said, her tone was as cold and decisive as ever, "She was destined to be The victim of the war, I brought her into this vortex, the responsibility is on me... Leader, please forgive my impatience, Zero cannot be released, an uncontrolled nano biochemical body is a risk we cannot afford .”

The watchman bowed to the two and disappeared, and the closed warehouse was taken back. Li De shook his head: "Maybe it's all Kane's fault, but the Intellectual Control Legion and the Lazarus Project are now resources under my control. I have to give you an explanation."

"The Seal of Kane is a product of the old days. It is a cyborg weapon made of human corpses. Even I can't ignore how many dogmas it has violated. People's fighting ends when they are alive. At the end of the day, those heroes who gave everything deserve to rest in peace."

Olivia was slightly taken aback: "Are you going to abandon the Intellectual Control Legion? Abandon your strongest armed force? Leader, this is not a wise move."

"If you are doing it for me, then there is no need." Olivia took a step back and looked directly at Li De, "I follow your ideals and am willing to make sacrifices. There is no price that is unbearable. One thing you, as a leader, shouldn't be reminded by me..."

"Evil seeds will only bear bitter fruit, Olivia." Reed stepped forward, staring into Olivia's eyes—"If we can easily compromise on issues of principle, then our cause will How filthy has it become? Should the future I promised everyone be a future based on lies?"

"Destroy a legion, and a new legion will replace it. As you said, general—for our future, there is no unbearable price!"

PS: From the very beginning, I decided to break out of the CNC framework and digest it into my own system.Although Tian has not started to slap me in the face, I still ask everyone to be more patient with me.

Well, the friends in the group know that I am buying parts to assemble my second computer, so as to resolve the conflict between work and writing, so that I can work and write at the same time, and resume double updating as soon as possible.

Chapter 110 I am the Legion

"My name is Legion, because I wait for many."

Not all great creations originate from lofty ideals, just like the Legion where Li De's body resides.Artificial intelligence created by quantum technology beyond human comprehension is the key to ascension to heaven, and it is also to command an undead army—a powerful army that is ruthless and always obedient.

Its shadow once shrouded the entire earth in the era of "Firestorm". Under the leadership of the rebel smart Kabo, the cyborg legion swept across both sides of NOD and GDI, massacred civilians, transformed living people into puppets and threw them into war in a distorted posture. The extinction of human beings has left a painful memory.Although this side confirms the strength of the Cyborg Legion, it also prompted Kane to insist on creating new substitutes after destroying Kabo, and these substitutes were also transferred to Reed's hands under the trick of fate—and Renamed to the Intellectual Control Legion.

However, before it exerted its strength, Li De had to give up the trump card in his hand after only a small-scale contact battle. This was also the most difficult thing for Olivia to understand.But apart from high-sounding moral excuses, Li De also has more considerations.

"How many of these awakened people, and even the awakened ones, are your former subordinates? How many of them are colleagues above us, those soldiers who firmly believe in our way and go through fire and water for our orders?"

Li De pointed to the tall cyborg fighters behind him, and emphasized his tone: "Think about it, from crossing to Scylla, we have experienced a total of three battles, although the largest is only medium, we are also overwhelming The advantage, and still killed 130 seven people. We have not held a funeral for them, no medals and no ceremony, but we will ask them to pay more, Olivia. "

Olivia disagreed: "We are in a state of emergency now, with survival as the main purpose, and we don't care about so much. I will give them honor, but if they don't even have this patience, then they are not worthy of being black hands soldiers."

"If you, leader, are only worried about morale, then just seal the existence of the Intelligent Control Legion as a secret..."

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, unless the Intellectual Control Legion never appears in people's sight.But the price to be paid for keeping secrets is always far beyond people's plans. An army "without secrets" is not a force that can be relied on. What is the use of a force that cannot be relied on?

"The production of the Intellectonic Legion requires humans, living people, or complete corpses, because only the human brain can carry flexible instructions. Keeping the Intellectonic Legion means we need a constant flow of experimental materials, you know what that means, Olivia."

Li De paused, waiting for the latter's answer.Olivia opened her mouth, but still didn't speak.

If the soldiers on the ground knew that after they had fought for a lifetime, their corpses would be used to transform them into weapons of war, I am afraid that except for fanatical believers, normal people would immediately rebel.The combat effectiveness of the Intellectual Control Legion is directly proportional to the hidden dangers. Olivia is not stupid, otherwise she would not remain silent.

Moreover, these cyborgs, and even the "No. [-]" experimental unit behind her, were her former subordinates, and she was not so cold as to have no grudges.

"It's okay to lose the Intellectual Control Legion. Now that the Black Hand and the Defense Force have formed, the strength of the Brotherhood is enough to ensure my safety. Actually, this time it's a notice, not a discussion, Olivia, from the Intellectual Control Legion. Dismantling is imperative, these cyborgs will be dismantled after the last maintenance, ashes to ashes, rest in peace.”

"Then, facility zero..." Olivia looked behind and hesitated.

"Let's maintain the status quo, and we'll think about it when we have a better solution." Reed said, exiting the blockade center with Olivia.At this time, Olivia asked Li De, what did he mean by destroying one legion and another legion would be born?

"I mean, just replace the cyborg with a synthetic human."

Synthetics?

Olivia looked in Li De's direction, and there was indeed a factory-like facility erected on the crypt. It looked very small, and it was almost incomparable with the heavy factory on the ground, but the saboteur engineers who came and went The number is quite a lot, which caught Olivia's attention.

The reason why NOD created cyborgs in the past is that complex tactical instructions cannot be processed by the command center in the background, and only the transformed human brain can undertake precise analysis work.The reason why cyborgs always use soldier corpses is that their combat and tactical experience can be reactivated to make small-scale and complex autonomous judgments.As for why there are no robot soldiers in the Tiberium War, it is also very simple, because as early as 2020, GDI tried the remote control combat system and updated it for two generations, but the result was very disappointing——

The stupid iron box is limited by the delay of the network bandwidth. In the complex electromagnetic combat environment, there is always a high ping value. The order is delayed by one step and it is destroyed, or the command center in the field is destroyed, causing all personnel to go down.Even the guerrillas of NOD found that these iron guys completely relied on external sensors, and a sniper attack on a ball of flames could make their sensors malfunction and make them blind, not to mention that NOD's regular armed forces are all equipped with EMP equipment. The modern remote control system failed completely.

GDI, who never gave up, made persistent efforts to develop the second-generation drone system equipped with self-control computers. As a result, the system often failed to judge complex battlefields, resulting in multiple incidents of drones firing at their own people.And NOD's Special Forces have also learned to create fake IFF signals to fool UAV systems. The artificial intelligence "EVA" launched by GDI was complained by its own soldiers as artificially retarded, and it was almost powerless to fight back against NOD's cyber warfare.Soon GDI found that this high-tech was far inferior to human soldiers in terms of cost and efficiency, and gave up.With the lessons learned from GDI, the Brotherhood never planned to try mechanical warriors, and instead embarked on the cyborg route of man-machine integration.

Li De wants to abandon the mature cyborg technology, and plan to study the unreliable drone army instead?Regardless of the problems of efficiency and cost, reversing the history?

"Synthetics, generals, are not simple robots. Or to put it another way, they are used for strategic and operational purposes, can execute instructions very well, and rely on the Legion core network—that is, my own tactical humanoid unit." Li De explained Said, "For example, Captain Liszt is a fully functional synthetic humanoid. You are already familiar with his body. Although the personality is my clone, he has already proved that this path is feasible."

"I did what neither GDI nor NOD could do in the past, because I am the legion."

PS: I am a young former commander who has no time and is immobile. I would like to ask, where is there a detailed summary of the young former worldview and technology?

Chapter 110 Joint Operations Command

"Lieutenant Colonel James Carter, graduated from West Point Military Academy in 2037 and joined the army with the rank of second lieutenant. He served as the commander of the Mecha Company of the Steel Talon Corps in three World Wars. He won three Purple Heart Medals, one Silver Star Medal, and one Distinguished Service Cross Medal. He will be promoted to captain in 2045, and the commander will be Lieutenant General Michel, the former regiment commander."

Wu Wei scanned the information on the data board and read it out by the way.Now Wu Wei has changed his attire. It is no longer the worn-out blue United Nations Army bulletproof uniform, but a silver-gray Defense Army uniform. The image of a soldier has changed into that of a general sitting in the hall.

In order to clearly distinguish it from the Black Hand, the uniform of the Defense Force established by the Brotherhood adopts a silver-gray tone of steel.In terms of military uniforms, unlike those leather coat parties, the Defense Force more traditionally uses a button-up coat with a belt, which looks like a waterproof short coat. It looks bloated, but it is a bit special when used here for Wu Wei.

Because he was too tall—he was like a giant at two meters and two meters, and even sitting on a chair, his momentum was very oppressive.He was wearing his military cap, and the weather-beaten face under the crowned eagle badge was like a chiseled face, which is the face of a battle-hardened veteran, and the silver star on his collar was almost visible I was taken aback—when did the Brotherhood have an extra brigadier general?

The military rank of General Olivia of the Black Hand is unknown, but that is because the Black Hands do not value military ranks but only their positions.As for this person... Although they don't know the background of the other party, since the other party's military rank is higher than their own and others, Carter and the major must be thinking about saluting each other.

"Yo, this is the new mother chicken of our steel claw chicken? Even you can jump two ranks to be promoted to lieutenant colonel, but I only got promoted to one?"

Before the brigadier general could speak, a discordant voice came from the side.Carter pretended not to hear and found a seat in the conference room to sit down, but Kanifik stared back unwillingly—a female officer was sitting on the side of the wall, dressed similarly to the others , but she wears a Russian-style boat-shaped cap on her head. Not only that, but the tongue-tapping sound mixed in her accent also shows the other party's native place.A Slavic woman with chestnut hair and short hair, not too old but in her thirties but with the same military rank as Carter, made the two of them very angry.

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Natalia, acting head of zocom." Kanifik couldn't help but sarcastically said, "I'm so disappointed that your regiment didn't benefit from the last battle, even my little The lieutenant has been promoted two ranks in a row."

The Lightning Eagle badge was pinned to the other party's chest, and looking up, there was a blue ribbon hanging from that proud chest - that was the pilot's logo.As a soldier, Natalia went out with light makeup today, and her bright red lips attracted Kanifik's gaze, until the latter's cold eyes pierced her.

"Without the support of my Echo Squad, would you have the chance to touch the orc's face? What did the leader think, that he gave all the credit to you..." Natalia said disdainfully.
