Walk alone in the abyss

"The gravity of this fortress itself is very weak."

Gris whispered on the communication channel.

At this moment, they have moved slowly to a maintenance valve at the bottom of the gun barrel. Entering this door, they can enter the inside of the fortress.

The Empire's total defense system did not send an action order, so the five of them could only continue to wait.

Following the instructions of the cold female voice, Bligh pressed the two metal gloves against the wall next to the maintenance valve and waited quietly.

This is also an order given by the 'Emperor Guard System'.

Bligh whispered: "This supercomputer is a bit unbelievable, it seems to have complete autonomous consciousness."

"How did the outer electromagnetic membrane disappear?" the female team member asked softly.

Yang Ming explained: "The electromagnetic interference was caused by the sudden loss of control of a special ship in the New Federation Fleet. This was obviously done by that supercomputer. It should have been lurking in the network of nearby warships."

Gris smiled and said, "Is the new Federation so careless?"

"It's not careless," Yang Ming said, "I suspect that the invasion of the warship network was done through those twelve transport ships. The Invincible Fleet of the Empire is still far away, and the new Federation is probably still in the stage of boosting morale."

Catherine hummed beside her, obviously echoing Yang Ming.

The cold female voice suddenly sounded: "Prepare to invade, and the nearby sirens have been turned off."

The five of them immediately stopped chatting, and Yang Ming and Gris got together behind the maintenance door.

Gris took out the paper-thin explosive point from the backpack, while Yang Ming held the composite handle made of special alloy with his right hand.

Gris: "Is this door unlocked?"

Yang Ming shrugged.

The female voice suddenly said: "Intrusion."

Yang Ming pressed down with his right hand, and seemed to encounter a little resistance, so he frowned slightly and increased his strength.

Under the gaze of Greis' big staring eyes, this special alloy explosion-proof door with a thickness of fifteen centimeters broke away from its bolt, and Yang Ming casually lifted it out.

Inside is a somewhat messy one-person passage, and the various pipes and lines make people's scalp numb.

"Enter."

Yang Ming raised his chin, and the four of them dodged in quickly. Gris rushed forward, and Bligh closed his eyes indifferently, sensing the positions of living creatures around him.

Yang Ming walked in unhurriedly, took the door behind him, and firmly stamped it on the door frame.

From the outside, the door is almost the same except that the gap is a little wider.

"This is called breaking into the door," Gries muttered, "It was detected that a group of guards came over in front of us. They should be carrying out patrol orders. There are more than a dozen cameras nearby. As long as we show our faces, we may be exposed."

Yang Ming thought about it carefully: "Bligh, can you control these guards without showing your face?"

"I'll try," Bligh softly groaned a few times, "Everyone's willpower is different, but I can feel their sense of panic, they all know that the probability of winning the Empire's Armada is very slim. It's a loophole."

He closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a faint light flickering on his forehead.

Yang Ming felt a wave of spiritual power that seemed to be substantial, flowing quietly like flowing water.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Yang Ming and the others chose to bow their heads and crawl.

Gris is a big guy, and his muscles are bulging at this moment. This ordinary reformer is ready to draw his gun quickly, and he can smash the heads of this group of guards in an instant.

Two seconds later, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped. Someone was speaking in the New Federal Language, and the electronic synthesis of real-time translation sounded in the earphones of the five people.

"Podium, there seems to be something unusual about the access door of B4303."

Gris tightly held the handle of the gun at his waist, and Captain Catherine held a lightsaber hanging from his waist, ready to deploy the ship-cutter knife on his back at any time.

Yang Ming raised his hand to hold the two of them down.

The sound of footsteps reappeared, a group of twelve soldiers stopped outside, and five of them walked into this messy 'alley'.

They didn't seem to see the five big living people inside, and one of them said into the earphone: "Confirmed, there is no abnormality."

Afterwards, one person turned off his earphones, bowed slightly to the five people, and hissed:

"Welcome, heroes who can save the new federation, I will use everything I have to cooperate with your actions."

The gazes of the twelve people were full of firmness.

Yang Ming and the others glanced at Bligh, who just shrugged slightly.

"Mind control doesn't just mean making a person your puppet," Bligh said calmly, "it just needs to modify their cognition a little bit so that they think that we are senior agents of the CIA, who came to clear the empire's ambush in the fortress. spies inside the country, and then shake their self-concept into thinking they're a CIA flop, and that's enough."

Then, Bligh stood up slowly, pushing his hands forward slowly.

He was performing a deeper 'hypnosis' on the twelve guards.

The camera outside adjusted the angle slightly, so that there was a little blind spot at the entrance of the alley.

The five soldiers lowered their heads and took off their clothes quickly, contributing their coats and trousers, and then lined up to the position where the valve was repaired, and squatted among the piles of coils, covering themselves with instruments.

Bligh smiled: "They are all ordinary people, it's not too troublesome to temporarily control them."

"Please change your clothes."

The Emperor Wei system reminded them in the headset.

With quick hands and eyes, Yang Ming took off the exoskeleton armor and put on the combat uniforms of these ordinary soldiers, and then pressed the necks of Bligh and Gris to make sure they were facing outwards.

Half a minute later, the five guards returned to the patrol queue, holding laser guns, and left the area.

"So," Gris turned his head and glanced at the area where they hid their equipment, and complained through the headset, "I prepared so many individual firepower when I came, and it's useless?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't have much impact on our overall combat power."

Grace: ...

The twelve-member patrol team arrived in front of an elevator, and Bligh walked forward calmly, and pasted two button-sized devices on the detection terminal in front of the elevator.

The detailed broadcast of the Emperor Guard system sounded in the ears of the five people.

"The security system has been successfully invaded...the database has been rewritten, and the data information has been entered...the information has been overwritten...the authority has been modified."

"It's so fast," Catherine sighed with emotion.

At this moment, she still needs to wear a golden mask, so she has already made this ever-changing mask into the shape of a headband and hid it under the soldier's helmet.

Twelve people entered the elevator at the same time and slowly descended downward.

'Emperor Wei' began to broadcast:

"Please try to get as close to the core area of ​​the fortress as possible. The operating systems of this fortress are relatively independent, and you need to find the core control system."

"The fortress is divided into three layers and thirty-six sub-layers. Now it is entering the outer area. There are mainly fortress weapon systems and guard training camps. There are forty-six barracks training areas..."

"The central area of ​​the fortress is the New Federation Military Industry Research Institute, which has a high level of confidentiality, and the more advanced military technology of the New Federation should be kept in it."

"The main control system of the fortress is located in the innermost area. Now we have revised the battle plan and asked Vice-Captain Bligh and officer Hanton to attack the lowest area. The other three entered the military industrial research institute to steal the secrets related to the new federation."

"Filling the gaps in the new federal military technical data will help me formulate appropriate tactics to wipe out the new federation's effective combat power."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Our manpower is insufficient, isn't it too aggressive to divide the troops?"

"According to calculations, there is a 95% probability that Ni and Bligh will complete the task, and a 97% probability that five people will complete the task."

'Emperor Wei' added:

"When the two of you take the initiative to expose, the other three can take advantage of the chaos to hide better."

Yang Ming looked at Catherine with some worry, and the latter nodded slightly.

"Please follow the command, Officer Hanton."

The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

The elevator has started to slow down, and they have arrived at the guard's patrol departure floor, and when the elevator opens, they can see the barracks in full swing.

Several hovering patrol vehicles flew over their heads, a group of 'off-duty' soldiers were gloomy and hurried, and several freight vehicles carrying deep-space mines and space missiles passed slowly.

Looking up, the sky is a dome made of metal frames, extending parallel in all directions.

At the farthest point of sight, that is, at the 'horizon', Yang Ming could see a large number of shipboard equipment on display, which seemed to be a maintenance shipyard for wartime.

There are far more robots running around than human soldiers, mainly logistics robots, and there are also various types of mechanical guards.

This is the surface layer of the fortress. Most of the area is filled with such military bases and training bases. The strength and overall value of the troops stationed here cannot be calculated at all.

Heavy footsteps sounded.

Two three-meter-tall mechanical guards walked in front of the twelve people, and each raised an arm to form a door frame, with rays sweeping back and forth inside.

Yang Ming and the others were a little nervous, but when the ray swept past, a green light popped up in front of them.

"Verification passed."

The mechanical guard lowered his arms, turned and walked back to both sides of the elevator.

Bligh waved his hand lightly, and two 'buttons' flew out and stuck to the mechanical guard's arm.

"There's a good show to watch."

A small smile played on Blair's lips.

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, and he also discovered that the robots that exist here all have a certain degree of self-awareness, and belong to the semi-omninic level.

The identity verification is performed by the mechanical guard here, which also proves one thing from the side.

They are networked.

Three suspended military vehicles drove over, and the five Yang Ming and the other seven guards who had been mentally affected by Bligh boarded the suspended vehicles.

A small countdown timer popped up in front of Yang Ming's five people.

"After the countdown is over, I will cause a general riot here. Please be ready to fight as a team."

"30, 29, 28..."

"Proceed with caution," Yang Ming told Catherine beside him, "Bligh and I will attract their attention, don't worry about us, we will be here later."

"Our people?"

Catherine didn't understand, so she asked softly, "What do you mean?"

"You should witness the most powerful weapon of the empire," Yang Ming shook his head lightly, and complained from the bottom of his heart.

The New Federation probably doesn't know that the empire has a mechanical thinking body.

The computing power is far inferior to this 'predecessor''s law, and in the eyes of omnics, it is already a goddess-level existence.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."

Yang Ming tightly held Catherine's right hand wearing a tactical glove, turned around and kissed her on the cheek, and jumped off the hover car almost at the same time as Bligh.

Fireballs suddenly appeared in the distance.

Huge explosions oscillated back and forth in the vast outer space of the fortress!

Mushroom clouds rose up one after another, and the dazzling laser lasers intertwined wantonly.

Some soldiers looked at the robot on the side in astonishment, and saw the gun muzzle raised by the mechanical guard, and the electronic eye that was shining with a faint red light.

boom!

The suspension car that Gries was riding on was hit by a beam of 'stray bullet' laser light and the engine exploded. The three of them jumped out at the same time and mixed into the melee crowd.

Yang Ming and Bligh rushed to the down elevator a few hundred meters away.

As far as the two looked, warning messages popped up everywhere, the hover car was flying uncontrollably, and the piercing siren sounded non-stop in all directions.

The sudden mutiny of various robots was obviously not what the federal soldiers could have expected.

The command system of the surface barracks has lost contact with the outside world, and all kinds of information can only be conveyed by manpower.

Those threshold mechanical guards with powerful firepower have become slaughterers who harvest human life. The laser firing arrays on their chests and the laser barrels installed on their arms can lock dozens of chaotic moving targets at the same time.

While the body of this mechanical guard was turning, a group of human soldiers were headshot at the same time.

A full-platform transport robot with a powerful engine will fly soldiers up, or push them against the wall with full horsepower.

The maintenance robot unfolded all kinds of maintenance equipment on its body, chasing those unarmed human maintenance workers like crazy.

Medical robots cut off the life channel of sick and wounded soldiers.

The gates of warehouses were forcibly broken open, and silver-white waves gushed out of them. Hundreds of thousands of semi-self-service mechanical guards have been activated, and the weapon systems on their bodies have been overwritten.

For these soldiers, the most deadly weapon is the aircraft carrier drone group stored in the outer warehouses.

In less than half a minute, the alarm sounded for 75% of the area outside the fortress.

Some federal soldiers had just organized a counterattack formation when they heard low-pitched humming.

A drone in the shape of a 'butterfly' turned on their dedicated engines for space warfare, and the cannon on the drone's back became the biggest nightmare for the soldiers in the fortress.

Before Yang Ming entered the elevator, he turned his head and took a few glances.

Purgatory is everywhere.

This is the true destructive power of the mechanical thinking body.

'Be more polite to Miss Li from now on. '

Yang Ming sighed softly, and entered the elevator with Bligh.

Several soldiers outside tried to approach the elevator, but the two threshold robots that had not moved in front of the elevator launched their weapon systems at the same time, smashing the federal soldiers into a sieve within two seconds.

Yang Ming looked at Bligh, and asked in a low voice, "I remember, you can fly, right?"

"Yes," Bligh blinked and said respectfully, "but my physical fitness itself is very low, and I may need your protection."

"give it to me."

Yang Ming squatted down slowly, and punched the deck below the elevator, tearing a hole in the deck like tearing paper.

Below is the dark elevator shaft, with lights flickering lightly at the four corners.

Yang Ming lowered his head and jumped down, and Bligh followed immediately, and the mental power barrier around them opened at the same time.

The Sherman Empire, deep in the Emperor Star.

The girl bound on the black box couldn't help but tilt her head at this moment.

Don't these two idiots even have this bit of common sense, don't they know that the elevator can reach the level of hypersonic speed?

'Detected self-emotional fluctuations...execute emotional system closure test. '

There was no fluctuation in the girl's eyes.

With the iron chain in her right hand, she slowly pointed forward, and her fingers kept sliding, as if she was directing a symphony.

If the lasing lasers in the fortress are magnificent string music, then the continuous explosions are fierce drumbeats.

PS: It's the end of the month, let's talk a few words.

Although I encountered various factors in January, such as illness, Spring Festival, continuous deletion of manuscripts, etc., I still completed the update of 290,000 words of content.

This month's monthly ticket ranking is 50+, which corresponds to the score of this book, and both are set to hit 15,000. Although it is not as good as a fraction of my Xianxia book, I feel very encouraged.

Space opera can even be written on the Internet. After finishing this book, I will make a detailed summary of this style of writing.

Writing good works is the foundation, and it is a blessing to meet readers who appreciate your works.

I can also feel that there are more and more new readers, and Zhang said that new faces can be found in it every day, which makes me very motivated.

In order to make us more motivated, let's set a small goal. In February, I will work hard to add more explosions. We will strive to enter the top 40 monthly ticket rankings. If we reach it, we will continue to add more updates in March!

Thank you everyone!

The next chapter will be updated at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
