Wasteland Development Diary

The data centers of each mechanical and electrical city are rapidly updating with information from all over.

[Report to Command Center, the Sixth Brigade of the Second Army has completed its strategic strike and broken through the "Bison County" area. The local territorial lord has announced surrender. Our side has captured 17 mechanical and electrical knights, 28 illegal mechanical and electrical lifeforms, and taken control of 7 related mechanical and electrical knight equipment and facilities.]

[Report to Command Center, the Ninth Brigade of the Third Army has completed a remote strategic strike on "Estrelia", destroying two settlements and one city, eliminating more than 300 enemy troops. The area is still resisting stubbornly.]

[Report to Command Center, the Fourteenth Brigade of the First Army has completed its strategic strike and taken control of the "Icefield Island" area. The local territorial lord has fled overseas. Our side has captured 5 mechanical and electrical knights and 7 illegal mechanical and electrical lifeforms.]

[Report to Command Center, the Twelfth Brigade of the First Army has completed its strategic strike. "Five Metals City" has announced surrender. Our side has captured 2 mechanical and electrical knights and 33 illegal mechanical and electrical lifeforms.]

……

[Report to Command Center, the First Brigade of the Second Army's strategic strike has failed, intercepted by the "Wasteland Development Company"'s Dead Sea defense. Losses include 2 A-class cruisers, 3 B+-class destroyers, 16 frigates, and over 600 aerial vehicles. The flagship and command aircraft have lost contact. Requesting support, requesting support!]

[The enemy possesses extremely dangerous atmospheric creatures. All units, be highly vigilant.]

This highlighted message caused tension in all cities, and they requested detailed first-hand battlefield data.

[We are very sorry, atmospheric creatures have the ability to destroy and shield signals. We only obtained the initial part of the signal.]

[The reserve force has rushed to the front line from Energy Storage City and is collecting battlefield data, recovering and repairing scattered and damaged combat units nearby...]

Several A-level employees of the Wasteland Development Company had already created detailed profile cards and assessment investigation forms, and had already completed targeted deployments.

They had specialized weapons to deal with spotlights and sand-controlling bone people, and also had a complete set of tactical matches for the company's most famous alien control. Even the rarely acting Death Angel had corresponding tactical manuals to deal with.

Even the extremely rare and strange lifeform like the Sashimi Man had not been missed by the Security Department.

Its high-energy state could only last for a very short time, and it was not a combat unit itself, so the effective range was very narrow. It did not affect other dispersed remote units from launching remote bombing strikes on Sandport.

Without endurance, it was still not to be feared in the face of an organized regular army.

As long as there was a little time and space, the Joint Guard could complete strategic bombing.

But.

Atmospheric creatures are extremely dangerous natural disasters on the high seas.

Except for relying on the "light banner" phenomenon to restrain and defend, there are no other effective targeted methods.

Caught off guard on the battlefield, atmospheric creatures almost single-handedly destroyed a well-organized brigade.

A large amount of data was constantly synchronized and calculated, and finally the information update was completed.

[The threat assessment of the Wasteland Development Company has been upgraded, danger level: X]

[Possesses extremely dangerous atmospheric creatures.]

[All combat units, suspend all active military operations against the Wasteland Development Company and the Development Alliance, and await further instructions.]

Just as the cities were trying to find countermeasures, another message came.

[This is Energy Storage City, we are under invasion and attack by the Wasteland Development Company, requesting urgent support, requesting urgent support!]

[……]

[Please hold your ground, combat units are being mobilized from the rear.]

[……]

[Energy Storage City, Energy Storage City? Please answer.]

There was no response from the other side.

At the same time, the green dot representing the data center of Energy Storage City also turned gray.

……

Time is of the essence.

After deciding to carry out a strategic counterattack, Zhou Yi immediately took several A-level employees of the company on the Emerald City, flying directly to Energy Storage City, 800 kilometers away.

The company lacked sufficient experience in destruction.

So Zhou Yi consulted a professional.

"Ah?"

The Overlord of Extinction was stunned for a moment: "You want to destroy a mechanical and electrical city?"

"Accurately speaking, Energy Storage City."

Zhou Yi did not hide it: "Give me some professional advice. You are professional in this area."

"……"

The Overlord of Extinction pondered for a moment: "Although I have never invaded and destroyed a mechanical and electrical city, I also know their operating mode. Mechanical and electrical cities have two core components."

"The first is the data center. Core departments such as the programming department and the security department complete information exchange through the data center, rely on the data of the data center to make decisions, and the database is also here."

"The second is the dispatch center. The integration and call of all resources of the city must rely on the dispatch center. It is the support for all behaviors and activities of the city. The natural resources dispatched here include water, land, and locally produced minerals and raw materials, etc. Social resources include mechanical and electrical residents, vehicles, and various materials, etc."

"The data center is the brain, and the dispatch center is the heart."

"If you want to destroy a mechanical and electrical city, theoretically destroying these two places is enough to paralyze a city. However, their defenses are generally very strict, especially the data center, which has data backups and external transmission possibilities. So even if the physical building is destroyed, the internal data may escape and flow to the outside world."

"This is also the most difficult point. If these data ghosts that can be reborn cannot be dealt with. Relying on their world's strongest production capacity, they can quickly reproduce an identical city."

Zhou Yi said, "Thank you."

"It's a small matter. Since the connection of the Universal Protocol, mechanical and electrical cities have never been destroyed by external forces. I would like to see if this past iron rule will be broken."

The Overlord of Extinction had a look of schadenfreude.

The Emerald City took two hours to fly to the sky above Energy Storage City.

Zhou Yi also came to this medium-sized mechanical and electrical city for the first time.

The satellite view only has a blurry mosaic, because mechanical and electrical cities are equipped with shielding equipment.

However, after lowering the altitude, the full picture of the city unfolds before your eyes.

The ground plan here is shaped like a huge fan, with some dense stone buildings in the center, and then continuous factory areas, with comb-like blast furnaces and huge cooling towers spraying black and white smoke into the air.

On the crisscrossing roads, large transport vehicles hurried back and forth, carrying various minerals, light soot, and light perlite filled with oil cans to different workshops and factories.

The factories erected glass high walls, which broadcast the latest information and real-time monitoring screens of mining and energy manufacturing.

The city's roads connect two ports, one in the east and one in the south.

A dozen warships are docked at the southern port, and there is also a constantly glowing dock, where new ships are being manufactured.

The eastern port is a transportation line, where a large number of transport ships send minerals collected and purchased from the outside world to this place, and then vehicles further transport them to factories for processing and manufacturing.

As soon as the Emerald City's altitude decreased, it was immediately intercepted by a swarm of drones.

They buzzed around this huge alien, issuing warnings.

"This is the airspace of Energy Storage City, leave, leave!"

Anti-aircraft guns were also erected on the ground, aiming at this side.

Zhou Yi directly summoned the Curling.

The atmospheric creatures instantly spewed clouds and fog, covering most of the city.

The latest novel is first published on the Sixth 9 Books Bar!

"Cut off the connection between here and the outside world, don't let information get in and out. Also, don't hunt them for now."

"Yes, Chairman."

The arrival of atmospheric creatures immediately caused the scene to become extremely chaotic. Ground vehicles quickly returned to garages and factory areas, and the mechanical and electrical lifeforms that were still active scurried around to hide and escape.

Bone Man Wu Yi and Jiong Hecang descended from the sky and landed on the largest building in the center.

According to Red Falcon's identification, this is the dispatch center.

Zhou Yi asked 703 to launch a notice to the entire city.

The announcement appeared on every huge glass wall.

--All residents of Energy Storage City, for your life safety, please evacuate this city immediately.

--The army supported by this city just invaded our Sandport, and is now an enemy of our Wasteland Development Company. Now we want to completely destroy it.

--Whoever continues to support the invasion of Sandport will end up like this.

--To reiterate, please evacuate this city immediately. If you continue to stay, you will be regarded as a member of the invading army, and our side will give you a merciless destruction.

--Countdown 20 minutes, starting now.

At the same time, two A-level employees had already dismantled the dispatch center.

The light knife released by Jiong Hecang easily cut open the outer shell of the building, accurately avoiding the life inside, revealing the dense and complex equipment and line pipe instruments inside.

It started physical destruction, and small-scale explosions began to occur inside the building.

Mechanical and electrical lifeforms began to come out in droves, fleeing in all directions.

Compared to human cities, the population density of Energy Storage City is not high, and more space is occupied by various vehicles, equipment, and devices. A mechanical and electrical lifeform must operate multiple devices or sub-machines to maintain the high-speed operation of the entire city.

Now that the operating residents are fleeing one by one, the entire city will soon come to a standstill.

Thousands of factories successively turned off their lights, vehicles stopped crookedly on the roadside, the city's heart stopped beating, the blood on the roads stopped flowing, and the original noisy sound gradually disappeared.

At this time, Zhou Yi determined the location of the data center - it was underground, not far from the dispatch center.

703 entered it to extract data.

Then Jiong Hecang threw a light guard here, triggering a small mushroom cloud.

Bone Man Wu Yi used sand to smash the dock into powder, and the various equipment inside was also completely destroyed and damaged. Both ports were razed to the ground by its own power.

Two A-level employees were like tigers in a flock of sheep, destroying the foundation of this city.

Various ships had long since escaped without a trace.

The huge Energy Storage City, during the destruction process, only had some drone guards and anti-aircraft guns resisting - their strength was not bad, reaching B level.

There was no other mechanical and electrical lifeform fighting back and fighting.

Losing the external support of the data field, the entire city is just an empty giant, seemingly mighty and majestic, but in reality it will fall at the first touch.

The entire destruction process was so easy that Zhou Yi felt incredible.

But he soon understood.

In order to maintain long-term stable rule, mechanical and electrical cities squeeze the productivity of every mechanical and electrical resident and use the Universal Protocol to create a sand-like social structure.

Everyone has no power, no sense of responsibility, and no substantial cohesion other than their work functions. They only rely on the inertia of work to maintain order.

No matter how spectacular and magnificent the castle built of sand is, it will be washed away by water.

Objectively speaking, the key is to cut off the information exchange that mechanical and electrical cities rely on most.

In an isolated island environment, a single mechanical and electrical city has no absolute leader, its own mobilization ability is insufficient, and it lacks the ability to cope with sudden situations of this level.

Zhou Yi looked at the Black Water Ghost on his wrist.

"It's almost time."

"This is yours, free hunting."

Having been authorized.

Atmospheric creatures descended from the sky, and the entire city became a cloud country.

Inside Emerald City.

Red Falcon's electronic eyes flickered with red light: "A city with very well-developed industries will cease to exist... It's a pity for the fruits of labor of many mechanical and electrical lifeforms."

Zhou Yi looked down at everything on the ground, but felt no pity in his heart.

Pity for the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Since you dare to support the war, you must be prepared for the flames of war to reach yourself.
