Chapter 1551: The End of the War
Inside the bridge of the flagship of the Pan-Asian First Fleet, the atmosphere was solemn.
Yuheng, which was supposed to be on standby on Ceres, was keeping the radio silence at this moment, accelerating towards the Earth-Moon system.
After receiving a warning, instead of stopping, the command ship changed its orbit and tried to escape from its attack radius.
It was clear that they had heard their warning, but they had no intention to execute the order.
Staring at the yellow light dot on the star chart with furrowed eyebrows, the commander of the Sanya First Fleet had a solemn expression on his face.
“Let the cruiser Qinling prepare for the EMP torpedo.”
They had lost contact with the base on Ceres, and it was very likely that there had been an accident.
The command ship Yuheng suddenly detached from its deployment position. It did not look normal.
Not only was the commander being serious, but the military advisers and other high-level officers standing around the command table also had the same expression on their faces.
This was the first time such a thing had happened since the Pan-Asian First Fleet was established.
No one knew what the crew of Yuheng wanted to do.
“According to the current acceleration, they will reach the Earth-Moon system within 7 hours. Judging from their direction, the target should be Earth.”
“The question is what do they want to do? Even as deserters…”
“If they want to be deserters, they will definitely go to Mars instead of throwing themselves into a trap and move towards the Earth-Moon system.” Yang Wu shook his head. He folded his arms and fell into a deep thought. He then added, “Speaking of which, Yuheng was deployed in the orbit of Ceres to support the research on the quantum computer array.”
The commander nodded and said, “Yeah.”
Yang Wu: “Just hypothetically, in order to prevent research leaks, all signal towers and similar communication channels on Ceres were closed. Yuheng may be the only starship that can contact the ground-based quantum computer array. ”
The commander’s eyebrows tightened. After thinking for a moment, he spoke.
“You mean, the Yuheng ship may carry the research results of Academician Wang Sicheng and his project team?”
Yang Wu nodded and said, “Probably.”
The commander was lost in thought and did not speak. Another consultant standing nearby frowned and said, “But even so, they shouldn’t leave the deployment position without authorization, especially for such a critical matter. Shouldn’t they first ask their superiors for instructions?”
“This involves another hypothetical situation.” Yang Wu said with a soft sigh, lowering his arms. He sighed and said, “Or a rumor I heard from the Security Bureau.”
Commander: “What rumor?”
“Some special presences were discovered among the rebels in Guanghan City.”
Commander: “Special?”
“Yeah…” Yang Wu nodded and continued, “Different from ordinary robot soldiers, they have flesh and blood bodies that are no different from human beings.”
“Is there anything strange about this?” A consultant interrupted, “Even now, there are voices on the Internet talking about us, saying that our way of dealing with problems is too simple and crude.”
“However, they are not human compatriots who sympathize with robots. In follow-up investigations, agents of the Security Bureau found that such people have a common feature, that is, they have implants in their cerebral cortices. Illegal nanochips registered with relevant departments.”
Almost in an instant, the entire ship bridge fell silent.
Many people had already guessed what he wanted to say.
With a difficult voice, the consultant who spoke before couldn’t help but ask.
“You mean… they have penetrated into our organization?”
“Very likely.”
“But… that’s the First Division of the Army. It is full of the elites of the Pan-Asian Army. It is difficult to penetrate into that place…”
Yang Wu sighed and said, “The current social atmosphere of implanting prostheses has also brought them a wide range of breathing space. There might be even similar ones on this ship right now.”
“Don’t talk nonsense about this kind of unfounded prediction,” the commander said, stopping him.
However, at this moment, a soldier walked in from outside the bridge and made a military salute.
“Sir, there is news from the cruiser Qinling that the EMP torpedo is ready and ready to be launched!”
Should we launch it?
Although the decision had been made, the commander suddenly hesitated the moment before pressing the button.
After pondering for a while, he spoke.
“Contact the Pan-Asia headquarters, I need to ask my superiors for instructions first.”
We must be extremely cautious and careful…
…
“Defection? Yuheng?”
Pan-Asian Cooperation headquarters.
Li Gaoliang, who was walking quickly in the corridor, suddenly received a call from the Pan-Asian First Fleet.
After hearing the whole story, his face was full of unexpected expressions.
“Separate a destroyer to follow. The crux of the problem now lies on Ceres. Regardless of the status of the Yuheng, we must not let the quantum computer array on Ceres fall into the hands of others!”
With that, Li Guangya glanced at the time on the watch and continued, “In a few hours, I still have a high-level international summit to attend. I can’t focus on your side. You are free to make your judgments based on the situation on the spot.
“If it is determined that the Yuheng is a threat to the Pan-Asian Cooperation as well as the security of the world, I allow you to destroy it.”
The captain standing in the holographic beam nodded and said with a serious expression, “I understand.”
At this moment, Li Guangya suddenly thought of something, so he asked, “By the way, Yuheng is heading towards Earth?”
Captain: “Yes.”
Li Guangya: “According to the current speed, how long until they arrive?”
Captain: “It will take about 5 to 7 hours. Of course, the possibility of them continuing to accelerate is not ruled out. But then, they may face a situation where they will pass by the Earth-Moon system.”
5-7 hours?
He would be attending the regional alliance summit in Singapore to discuss the future of robots with leaders of other regional alliances.
“Just do what I said earlier. At this critical time, it’s better not to make a rash decision.”
The Hippocampus Group had solved the ALPHA virus. According to the analysis of experts from the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences, this solution was likely to be safe.
It wouldn’t be long before society would re-accept the special group of robots, and he would announce this fact to the public at the right time.
No matter from which point of view, this war had come to an end.
Just as Li Guangya was making final preparations for the upcoming international summit, the people on the Yuheng command ship finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They had already left the attack range of the First Pan-Asian Fleet. When the two sides passed by in the boundless deep space, neither of them opened fire.
“Doesn’t make sense…” The old captain said incredulously as he looked at the star chart, “They actually let us go.”
With a relieved expression on his face, Lu Zhou said in a relaxed tone, “Perhaps because the command ship did not carry weapons, or maybe they also have their concerns… Of course, I admit that this was a gamble, but obviously, we won the bet.”
“It’s not that simple.” The old captain frowned as he looked at the flashing light spots on the star chart. “They separated a cruiser from the fleet.”
“Is it coming towards us?”
The old captain couldn’t help but rant, “No sh*t, why else would it come towards us? For fun?”
Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.
“Maybe it’s just coming to say hello to us.”
The old captain sighed. “I think it’s just to save a few missiles.”
“Regardless of their purpose, our mission will be completed soon.” Lu Zhou looked at the Tianzhou space station, which was already close to the information transmission radius.
He ordered Ling, who was standing next to him, “Remove the radio silence, but don’t answer any messages.
“Keep the current speed and continue sailing, and turn on the signal transmission equipment.
“Using the preset communication frequency band, send the gift we prepared to our friends!”
