Alien Paradise.

Chapter 438 Path Dependency
Beifu, comprehensive prevention and control center.

Unlike the usual achievement report meetings, the atmosphere in the conference hall this time was very solemn. After listening to Gao Wei's introduction of the situation, all the participants smelled a hint of crisis.

"It has only been six hours since we received the warning from the park, and similar accidents have spread. Currently, six cities in Canada have experienced mechanical out-of-control problems. In addition, we have just received reliable information that a city on the US-Canada border has experienced multiple chain car accidents, which can be regarded as a sign of the spread of out-of-control." Gao Wei concluded, "Currently, both Canada and the United States have dispatched troops to block the area, and network communications in the affected areas have also been cut off. We have contacted the overseas resident reporters of the News Department, hoping to continue to follow up on the development of the situation. After research, the prevention and control center temporarily named this phenomenon "Machine Rebellion". It can be said that... this is the first macro-impact of another world on the earth."

"Machines...rebellion?"

"Most machines don't have intelligent parts, how can they be controlled?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"Is this information credible?" asked Leader No. 2.

"Yes, although it sounds incredible, our research on this incident is more advanced than that of Western countries. Because of Comrade Xue Quan, Paradise is more inclined to cooperate with us. In addition, he also has his own views on this matter." Gao Wei looked at Xue Quan, "In fact, it was he who proposed the term machine rebellion."

Everyone looked at Xue Quan.

The latter spoke in an orderly manner, "As you all know, there are incredible powers in the other world, and gods are the most prominent representatives. Among the many gods, there is one called the 'God of All Machines', which represents the rise of a new generation of automatic mechanical steam wonders. However, it now seems that the scope of its influence is far more than what we expected."

After that, he briefly recounted the war between the Longjiu family and the Laurel Dynasty.

"This change occurred after Long Jiu's army occupied the royal city of Saintsia. Paradise speculated that it was related to the Long Jiu family's seizure of the god's relics. Before attending the meeting, I spoke with Mr. Chao on the phone. He believed that Long Jiu's army's mechanical weapons had the ability to infect other machines around them and could bring them under the control of the God of All Machines. That's why I called it a rebellion. In short, once the Earth machine has a self, regardless of whether it has intelligent components, it will have autonomous behavior, and there is no way to recover for the time being. The only way to stop it is to destroy it."

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Gao Wei immediately added, "So we closed all flights to and from Canada to prevent any infected machines from entering our country. But this is not completely safe. Canada is likely to fall completely, followed by its neighboring countries. As the situation escalates, perhaps everything will go back to the way it was five years ago."

All the participants knew what incident Gao Wei was talking about five years ago.

Fortunately, after going through it once, I have much more experience in implementing it again.

Leader No. 3 sighed helplessly, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a formal protest from Canada, saying that we are making too much of a fuss."

No. 2 asked curiously, "What's your reason for shutting down the route?"

The former replied, "Terrorist attack. That's what Canada itself advertises anyway."

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle, which slightly eased the tense atmosphere of the meeting.

That's right, the Canadian press officer has held an emergency press conference, saying that the country has suffered a large number of organized and premeditated terrorist attacks, and strongly condemned this inhumane act. Even though the facts are already in front of them, their first thought is to cover up the truth and divert the contradictions.

"You may laugh at me, but we cannot let the crisis continue. The earth is so small, and no one can be immune to it." Leader No. 2 spoke again, "The information about the God of All Machines is temporarily classified as top secret, but the news that the machines are infecting each other and causing loss of control can be revealed to Canada when an opportunity arises. In addition, I hope that the prevention and control center can send a team to Canada to investigate the nature of this infection."

"Let me go." Professor Wang Shengli volunteered, "Recently, the research work on the other side has been progressing steadily. It won't have much impact if I don't keep an eye on it."

"Okay, I'll arrange someone for you later." Gao Wei agreed.

"What about me?" Xue Quan asked.

"Your most important task is to stay in touch with Paradise. I believe Mr. Chao is also trying to find a solution to this problem right now."

At this moment, the portrait of leader No. 3 lit up. "I just received two messages. One is from our embassy in Canada, and the other is from the US military hotline. The former has just issued an emergency evacuation notice, saying that more than people have been killed or injured in many places in Canada, and hospitals are refusing to accept new injured people. I hope that the country can arrange a rescue plane to evacuate those domestic injured who cannot receive treatment." More than ...

This number made everyone take a deep breath.

You have to know that it was less than half a day after the robot rebellion occurred, and the outbreak took place in Canada, a country with a vast territory and a strong population. If it happened in China, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, the second piece of news was even more unexpected.

"The latter informed us that it will launch a Type 1 ballistic missile at 13: a.m. tomorrow, which is : today, Taipei time, to carry out a non-nuclear strike on the center of City M. We hope we will not misjudge."

Gao Wei looked up at his watch and found that the predicted launch time was just 30 minutes later!
"real or fake?"

"Canada also agreed?"

"I think given the relationship between the two countries, it makes no difference whether they agree or not."

Everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other.

In order to prevent military misjudgments, major powers will inform each other when launching long-range strategic weapons, but in the past these were often mainly tests and exercises. This is the first time that an announcement has been made regarding the use of live ammunition against a densely populated city!
"Perhaps they have also realized the seriousness of the problem, but doing this is really a bit too reckless." Gao Wei looked at Xue Quan, "I remember Mr. Chao is in M ​​City now, right?"

"Yes," Xue Quan nodded, "I'll call him right away."

……

Communications in City M had been completely cut off at this moment, and Chaoyang received Xue Quan's notification via satellite phone.

"What? Using ballistic missiles to bomb civilian areas?" Elodie was stunned after hearing the news. "Those people are crazy! Even if the government issued an evacuation order, the traffic is paralyzed, and the water and electricity are cut off. It's hard to say how many people can receive the news. And there are crazy cars outside. Who dares to go out?"

Chaoyang, however, was not surprised by this.

They have become very skilled at bombing civilians.

"Can the missile destroy the door connecting to the other world?" K was more concerned about the actual effect of this plan.

"Mr. K., how could you . . . "

"If the door remains open, more and more armed machines with infection capabilities will enter our world, causing more damage and casualties than a single missile could ever achieve." K shook his head, his expression resolute. "My rationality and logic tell me that this sacrifice is not unacceptable."

"But a normal explosion wouldn't be able to destroy the portal, right?"

"In theory, that's right - it's not a real door, but a reflection of two worlds." Chaoyang agreed, "Of course... the explosion belongs to the power of the Corruption God. As long as the energy level is large enough, even the world itself can be changed... But using nuclear weapons on a city is still a bit exaggerated."

"In that case, let's stop the missile from landing!" Elodie pulled Chaoyang outside, "It's meaningless for our neighboring country to do this except to increase unnecessary deaths!"

"We don't necessarily need to stop them." Chaoyang had a different idea in his mind, "Perhaps for those machines that have awakened themselves, missiles are just another kind of machine."
