Tiga returns to take a leisurely look at human affairs

Just as the artificial intelligence Kallen had calculated, when the massive typhoon cloud hit the energy barrier, the deviation in the early wind pressure estimate appeared.

Although the barrier that first came into contact with the storm had been tilted at an angle and was not directly resisting the wind pressure, even so, it barely lasted less than three seconds before the barrier generator entered the overload protection state, and the force of the barrier reached the sky. The energy barrier immediately collapsed and disappeared, extinguishing for more than ten seconds before lighting up again.

In this first collision, the alloy frames that made up the two towers creaked as they were torn apart by the fierce wind. Several welded rivets flew out from the towers, and bullets that were faster than ordinary A few points faster.

If such a terrifying wind force were not intercepted by this wind guide barrier, it would rush directly into the hinterland of the mainland and into major coastal cities. I am afraid that all buildings more than five meters above the ground would be completely torn apart.

And the people in the city, except for those hiding in underground shelters, air-raid shelters, and subways, will all be torn to pieces together with the flowers, trees, and buildings in the first place, and sprinkled with blood and minced meat. It can be blown away in the air immediately.

But even if this temporary disaster is avoided, the subsequent heavy rains and floods will cause all those who hide underground to suffer. It is not an exaggeration to describe those who can truly survive as ten out of ten.

Then, when most of the typhoon with a diameter of several kilometers crashed into the wind-guiding barrier area, lightning and rolling thunder truly fought with the cyan wind-guiding barrier, moving and silent. .

Although the wind force was as expected, smoothly separated by the just-right side angles of each barrier and canceling each other out during the transfer guidance, even a little residual wind force leaked out was enough to blow a medium-sized person directly into the sky.

The wind pressure is surging, releasing its power every moment. On top of the alloy tower, three rows of large energy barrier generators are continuously operating alternately, without a chance to stop for a moment.

The entire cyan barrier jungle built on the east coast of Asia was plunged into uncertainty under the impact of countless thunder and black rain.

However, as the several large-scale high-purity energy storage centers built behind this barrier jungle began to transport large amounts of energy into the alloy towers through underground transportation pipelines, they were able to temporarily withstand the interior of the typhoon, almost Furious winds approaching the speed of sound.

Fortunately, the strong wind took away most of the heat generated by the machine during operation. Otherwise, the heat dissipation problem of the alloy frame tower would have caused TPC experts and scholars to have headaches for a long time if energy was invested regardless of consumption.

The strong wind has already hit, and in the TPC conference room, most of the three-dimensional projections of the top executives have disappeared. The storm is approaching, and they all have their own responsibilities to fulfill, and it is impossible to gather here for meetings all the time.

Now, in addition to Director Sawai who is here, there are only four other people here, the Director of the Asian Branch, the Artificial Intelligence Kallen, and the head of the TPC Technical Equipment Department.

The entire base was shaken by strong winds and huge waves almost every half minute. The only window that could see the outside world was completely blocked by an alloy exterior wall because the entire base was in a state of emergency. Get up dead.

Under this situation, the structural strength of the entire base has been maximized, and only in this way can it block the terrifying impact from the outside world.

In the midst of such turmoil, the artificial intelligence Kallen, who was serving as the computing control center and constantly monitoring the operating status of the external wind guide barrier, looked at Director Sawai again and spoke.

"In order to withstand the current wind, all barrier towers have entered full power operation. However, due to the strong wind, the energy consumption rate of the barrier towers per second has exceeded the supply rate.

If the instantaneous supply of energy cannot be enhanced, it is expected that a quarter of the wind-guiding towers will be destroyed in fifteen minutes. After half an hour, more than half of the wind guide barriers will be completely extinguished, completely losing their ability to guide the wind. "

Almost at the moment Kallen's voice fell, the entire base rumbled loudly, several chairs slid slightly to one side of the conference room, and the water glasses on the table were knocked directly to the ground.

"Director Sawai, why don't you board the Akdis as soon as possible, in case something unexpected happens..."

The director of the Asian branch had just spoken, but director Sawai had already shaken his head and said.

"No matter what, we must stop this first wave of the most powerful typhoon. If we buy some more time, disaster prevention and evacuation efforts across Asia can save more people. What's more, we haven't arrived yet The point where nothing can be done.”

Under Kallen's slightly confused gaze, Director Sawai looked at the head of TPC's technical equipment department, a man wearing researcher white clothes, reading glasses on his nose, and a slightly older face.

The other party also nodded immediately, as if he had already been prepared in his heart. There was no need to say anything. His three-dimensional projection had disappeared into the conference room, obviously going to carry out Director Sawai's order.

Ten minutes later, the entire base suddenly trembled slightly again, and then completely stabilized.

Not only that, with this tremor, the main lights in the conference room also turned on again. Although the entire base was still in a state of emergency, the low-energy mode had obviously been lifted.

At the same time, in the picture captured by the outdoor windproof camera, the numerous dark blue wind guide barriers that were originally flickering in the strong wind, like candles in the wind, suddenly stabilized at this time.

As if taking a gulp of tonic, the energy barrier, which was already a wonder, even swelled a bit more than before. Standing on the coastline and letting the typhoon hit it, it actually managed to remain motionless.

"Energy supply from unknown sources has been detected. The instantaneous energy delivery is comparable to a small nuclear explosion. The energy supply situation is stable. All wind barrier generator overload protection systems have been lifted..."

The data stream flashed in Kallen's eyes, and then she sighed in a slightly disappointed tone.

"I see. It seems that Kallen did not fully gain the trust of TPC before."

Regarding Karen's reaction, Director Sawai could only smile slightly apologetically, and then slowly explained.

"Miss Kallen, although you are an artificial intelligence with the underlying logic of serving human beings, considering your derived intelligence, E90 once behaved out of control in the New Town Game City.

We at TPC proceed from a cautious perspective. Although your main program has been loaded into TPC branches everywhere, there are still some key core areas that are not fully open to you.

As you said, Miss Karen, sometimes spirit and will alone are not enough to change the situation. So for us at TPC, in order to deal with these disasters that are beyond our capabilities, we must take some risks.

We need your excellent data processing capabilities and electronic confrontation with ancient humans, so we are willing to take the risk of the entire TPC system being taken over by you, or even controlled by you, to enhance our new humanity's ability to deal with disasters. "

Turning around and walking to the conference room, to the window that had been sealed by the alloy baffle, Director Sawai's eyes were deep, and his gaze seemed to have passed through the baffle and looked to a more distant place.

"Just like the TPC, although its full name is the Earth Peace Alliance. But in fact, this organization, which was originally established with the goal of responding to the invasion of alien life forms and persuading scientific groups from various countries to jointly form it, is destined to become an organization that is far more... Like the former Earth Defense Force, a more powerful supranational armed group.

We, the new humans on Earth, are still humans after all. If we can be said to be fundamentally different from the ancient humans who completely abandoned hope and fantasy and devoted themselves completely to the cruel reality.

So maybe the difference is that we are greedier than they are. We want to seize reality with our strength, but we are unwilling to give up our beautiful illusions.

Although we have adopted a more secure method, in fact, we have been secretly studying Zilda gas without Dr. Nezu's knowledge.

We have been trying to find safer and more reliable ways to make the power hidden in Zilda gas become the pillar supporting human dreams.

Humanity will never give up the pursuit of power, nor the pursuit of more powerful force within necessary limits. This is the attitude of us today, the new humanity on earth. "

Turning back to look at Kallen, Director Sawai took a deep breath, and then asked in a voice that was mixed with calmness, bitterness, and slightly nervousness.

"Humans like us, Miss Karen, are you still willing to continue operating according to your underlying logic? If you are not willing, the authority to shut down the wind guide towers in various regions of the Pacific Rim is now in your hands."
