Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

"I understand, then I'll leave you to coordinate the operations of the mobile suit brigade of the space army, Mr. Gop."

Lieutenant General Jamieson nodded, turned to the staff in the command room and asked:

"How are the preparations of each unit? Where are the Zeon forces that have infiltrated?"

"Caught in the DE-7 warehouse area, in the middle of a firefight!"

……

"Our troops are engaged in a firefight! The firepower of the Zeon army is very fierce, please support!"

The sound of Zeon's general-purpose machine gun was like a cloth tearing machine, accompanied by the intermittent 'pop' sound of bullets hitting the wall. It was obvious that the Zeon machine gunner opposite was also a veteran, and he kept firing without pulling the trigger. , but still suppressed the two federal infantrymen and hid behind the wall, not daring to show their heads;

Next to it, two Cyclops had already rushed out of the bunker, puffing out black smoke and falling to the ground; but the less damaged one, although it also fell to the ground, had the camera indicator light on its head flashing. , apparently still working.

'Identify the target, machine gun fire point 1, rifle fire point 4, estimate the enemy's strength, which is smaller than the squad. '

Each Cyclops under command is the agent's eyes on the front line. This largely avoids the problem of information asymmetry between frontline and rear commanders in the army since ancient times.

'A roundabout strategy... The base's original internal wireless network facilities were damaged and the signal range was unable to be covered. '

In the confrontation with the Intelligent Control Corps, the Zeon Army is gradually learning lessons and paying more and more attention to attacking the Federation Army's command and communication nodes. However, considering the size of Zeon, the elite MS troops If you go to attack the Ogas system nodes that are protected at all levels, it will be a loss whether you replace them or not;

Even if the remote command of the Ogas system is lost, the unmanned weapons group will not shut down immediately. Under the deliberate setting of the federal army's frontline troops, although the combat efficiency is greatly reduced, the last order received will still be continued to fight until the energy is exhausted. completely or completely destroyed.

"Reinforcements have arrived from the rear, please be careful to avoid accidentally injuring friendly units."

The agent's calm voice soothed the nervous mood of the two guards who were used to being lax at the headquarters; from behind, more than a dozen Cyclops came running with a bang, the leader holding several wireless routers in his hands, and The one at the end also had a bundle of fiber optic cables on his shoulders.

"Private First Class Tony, are you asking if you can wire the fiber optic cables and set up a wireless router?"

"What, I don't quite understand."

"Understood, then to correct the order, please attack from the front..."

"Wait! I, I can learn, my learning ability is very strong, optical cable wiring, right? I saw someone pick it up, but I didn't remember the color order of the optical fiber and so on. I will pick it up, I will pick it up right now."

"Then let's start remote guidance now..."

For a tactical robot like Cyclops that needs to be mass-produced, the performance in all aspects can be said to not exceed the expected combat needs for the sake of cost. The precision of Cyclops's fingers cannot support tasks such as stroking optical fiber core wires at all.

With the help of the camera of the Cyclops that had not yet been noticed by the Zeon army and had fallen to the ground but part of the system was still working, some of the newly-reinforced Cyclops only extended their guns outside the wall to shoot at the Zeon army, and the other part Then they continued to drag the optical cable, bypassing the passage blocked by Zeon military firepower points, and continued to advance.

"...Lieutenant Colonel Xia Ya, when will you come back? This place will be unbearable."

The Zeon special forces team members on the opposite side were even more anxious at this time. After all, they did not originally intend to directly conflict with the Federation Army. The hackers in the team alerted the Federation Army's AI to the fact that they had implanted a surveillance system. After the Trojan horse, you should retreat immediately.

Although those tactical robots of the Federation look stupid, they are not easy to deal with in a fight; only the battery pack on the back can be said to be the position that can defeat the enemy with one blow, and the front, although it is humanoid, has no chest or head. None of them are critical;

If the main camera on the head is broken, it can directly share the field of view of teammates. The limbs also have independent motors, and the damage to the torso will not completely lose the ability to move. As an infantry-level opponent, it can be said to be very difficult.

However, their commander, Lieutenant Colonel Xia Ya, said:

"We can't just leave without finding anything. I have a hunch that if we dig a little deeper, we should find interesting things; you should start the MS first."

Saying such unclear words, this young ace, who had to wear a very conspicuous red driving uniform when performing infiltration missions, took advantage of the fact that the guards at the federal base had not fully reacted, implemented a blockade, and went in the opposite direction. Okay, let’s move deeper into Gabro Base.

"Captain, the federal robots are attacking from the side... Uh-huh!"

"Hansen, damn it, retreat, retreat to where we park the MS!"

However, Lieutenant Colonel Char, who was hiding in the crevices of the rocks at this time, did see some scenes that interested him; relying on his familiarity with the layout logic of military bases and a little intuition, Char Aznable, Zeon's The red comet, successfully lost——

The size of Gabro Base was beyond his imagination, and it was still underground. Although he could probably go back the same way he came, he still wanted to find the facilities that should have been targets, such as the dock where the White Base was docked, and There is no clue about the launch pad of the Federal Space Force;

But while wandering around, he did see some unexpected scenes.

"That one surrounded by tactical robots is... a maid? Which high-ranking official of the Federation Army has such a bad taste... No, I seem to remember there is information that the image of the Federation Army's AI system is set to look similar..."

The chaos caused by the Zeon Army's infiltration troops, as well as the damage caused to the base's internal network communication and monitoring lines, is also an opportunity for uncontrolled activities for agents;

After repeatedly broadcasting the evacuation of the medical staff and researchers who were working here in the name of 'preparing for the Zeon Army and concentrating on protecting important personnel' in accordance with regulations, the agent swaggered into the forefront of the Federation's new human-related research. position;

The purpose is of course 'to check whether any of our own personnel are missing, and to search for Zeon Army infiltration troops'.

The confidential computers used in the research cannot obtain information from the outside world at all. One of the consequences of the numerous factions within the Federation Army is that there can be more than a dozen unconnected 'internal' confidential LANs in a base in Gabro, which also gives The efficiency of the central control of the Ogas system has been greatly reduced.

The agent had no choice but to send this custom-made puppet as his own image to physically enter the federal new human research facility to 'steal' information.

'Information filtering, copying, saving...'

Agents who have not received any training in electronic intrusion or network attack and defense will have a lot of trouble if they want to directly invade the firewall of a confidential computer. However, some research team members' accounts directly used the strong passwords generated by the agent;

At the request of some senior federal military officials who had nothing to do to enforce discipline and management, the passwords for the confidential accounts within Gabro Base were required to be changed every half month. Old passwords could not be repeated or rotated. It was also lazy to directly use a computer to generate passwords. common operations.

While copying the information, the agent also directly read and screened out some key information for analysis:

'Amuro Ray's physical examination focused on abnormal values...to distinguish new humans through specific changes in brain waves...new humans' brain waves are converted into mechanical control signals...the concept of forming a new human army...'

Probably because they wanted to please Admiral Ray Bill, the federal researchers still dared to think about it, although it was still unknown whether the project would pass the review and approval of layers of bureaucrats and produce results.

"I really dare to think about it. Is there any scenario where the new human troops will confront the AI ​​troops?"

Platinum, who is currently connected to the Internet with his agent, also saw this information at the same time; since the Ogas system was launched, I don’t know whether it was too seriously affected by works such as The Terminator, or because he wanted to prove that humans will not lose to artificial intelligence. ——

It is not uncommon to see relevant military papers based on the premise of AI rebellion, but most of them remain on paper. They are also open research within the federal army, and even agents can download them as reference for learning. material.

"Aha, in fact, the Intelligence Department has also collected rumors about the Zeon Army's New Human facilities and related weapons, and is also considering making a special AI model plan to fight against the New Humans..."

Probably because of his intelligence expertise, Dandelai, who has been active in the communication network among the Ogas systems for a long time, also interjected:

"...But it's still unclear whether it refers to the EXAM system in our memory, which is designed to deal with new humans."

Although Xia Ya, who saw everything in his eyes, was still confused at this time, he was also keenly aware of a trace of disharmony:

'The robot troops covered a maid entering an empty research site that looked like a confidential facility. Is this a regular operation?Or is it an internal struggle within the federal army? '

Chapter 94: All in all (3)

"Who's there!"

The agent's sound sensor keenly picked up a shout not far from her position, followed by two gunshots;

Without any action or verbal signal from the agent, through the invisible signal puppet line, the several accompanying Cyclops immediately raised their guns in a vigilant posture and quickly moved towards the location of the sound;

"The sound source is located beyond the base structural model... is it in the rock wall?"

In the map stored by the agent, it should be that the solid rock walls around the base are higher, and there is a gap that can be passed by a person; the two rock formations are staggered at an angle, and the lower one is slightly protruding outwards, creating a gap out of thin air. A platform that overlooks the interior of the base.

The Cyclops stopped at the bottom of the rock wall. Their climbing ability was limited, and they had rigid metal shells, which made them difficult to use in small places.

But the agent can. Putting aside the appearance caused by Director Fanel's bad taste, the agent's humanoid body still represents the crystallization of Gabro's robot design and manufacturing technology, which is high-performance and high-cost. cutting-edge special robots;

Coupled with the optimization of control of a series of functions such as movement, reaction, and balance brought about by the Ogas system——

The agent briefly estimated the hardness of the rock in front of her, then took a federal-style bullpup rifle from the accompanying Cyclops. She slightly bent her knees, tightened the composite artificial muscles in her legs, and then stretched them suddenly. leap up;

The rock wall has an overall outward shape, and there are no obvious protruding points for climbing on the surface. However, the agent holds a gun in one hand and directly digs into the rock wall with his free hand, and then continues to throw himself upwards. , successfully climbed up to a platform about 7 meters high on the rock wall.

In the agent's thermal imaging vision, two roughly human-shaped heat signals could be locked into the twists and turns of the rock crevice, and she immediately and silently approached them.

"So kind..."

"...To leave the army?"

Another vague sound of conversation entered the agent's sensor. The agent roughly guessed what was going on and decisively recorded the voiceprint characteristics of the male among them.

Since neither the agent nor the Cyclops relied on sound to communicate, nor did they shout warnings when encountering enemies like ordinary federal soldiers, they did not look like they were in combat mode in the cave outside the base's plan. He seemed unaware of the agent's approach.

"Sergeant Thera Mars, stay down!"

The agent who walked quietly out of the rock crevice saw an expected scene. In order to find the three children who were in the superposition state of bears and non-bears, he went out of the coverage of the base's communication signal. Sai, who was not recalled by Platinum Contact, La, is confronting Lieutenant Colonel Char of the Zeon Army.

As a human being, Char's reaction was not slow, just like a cowboy in the old days. He pressed the handle of the gun hanging on his waist, turned the muzzle upward, and pointed it directly in the direction of the agent——

However, the agent's "fancy attire" by military base standards still made Lieutenant Colonel Xia a little slower in his mental preparation;

He originally thought that those tall tactical robots with reinforced steel frames from the Federation would obviously not be able to squeeze through the crevices, and that black-haired maid, no matter how it looked, was a VIP protected by the stars, even if she was not a big shot. The valet next to the big shot will not catch up.

"Eh, what?!"

After all, Sera still does not have the quality of a soldier to obey orders unconditionally, and in addition, giving orders in the current disguise of an agent is still a bit reluctant for those who are not aware of it;

She turned around with confusion on her face and stood between the agent and Char. This gave Char, who had come back to his senses, a chance to use his amazing escape skills, flicking his cloak and Jumping off a cliff, he quickly left the agent's sight with unsolved doubts.

"Sergeant Thera Mars, you are safe now, please ask if you require medical assistance."

The agent stayed in place with a vigilant posture. If she walked further, she would leave the signal coverage of Gabro Base. It would be difficult to explain to outsiders the bad taste of Director Fanel, but fortunately, Sera was there at the beginning. Already seen it in Seattle.

"Wait, I think I've seen you before, I remember in the troops under General Kruger..."

"That may be a machine developed with the same positioning. I am the AI ​​control system and agent of Gabro Base. There may be infiltration of Zeon special forces in this area. Please follow me into the safe area first. I will report to you later. You ask for information about that Zeon officer."

"Ah... well, I'm still looking for three lost children..."

Sera became a little anxious. She didn't know how much of the conversation between her and her brother had been heard by the robot maid who suddenly appeared and claimed to be an agent. At worst, this could be directly regarded as a spy. Ordinary behavior.

"Don't worry, they must be the three children who were lost on the White Base. They were found by our army's security team just now. However, the threat from the Zeon army has not been eliminated yet. Please follow me back to the base-controlled area immediately. "

'They are all AI, can you please ask Miss Platinum to be accommodating? '

Some unreasonable thoughts popped up in Sera's mind, but they were immediately thrown out of her mind;

'The attitude just now probably doesn't mean that I'm considered a hostile person. It's just that I understand the situation. That means I haven't heard any evidence... I just don't know how AI thinks. It's confusing, but it should still work. Muddle through. '

"Okay," after thinking about it, Sera nodded immediately and said, "The one in red is the Red Comet of the Zeon Army. It had a series of battles with our White Base. I didn't expect that I could still catch up here."

"I'm very sorry. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of our Gabro security forces. We are now organizing a counterattack."

The agent kept a smile and reviewed the current situation in a neutral manner. She had never expected that Char could flow here. Perhaps it was due to geological activities or the earthquake caused by the fall of the colonial satellite. This place The complex underground structure of the cave is not on the map mastered by the agent in advance;

Obviously they were in their hometown, but geographically the Federation Army was still able to compete with the Zeon people who came from afar. It can only be said that in the past few decades, when the swords and guns were stored in the warehouse and the horses were released in the Nanshan Mountains, they were indebted. Too much slack debt has been incurred.

The multi-line operation agents did not only focus on this side. The amphibious special forces commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Charia and others had no choice but to launch an attack in advance after the agents detected the infiltration;

More than a dozen Acguys with stubby limbs and rounded appearance emerged from the underground river around Gabro Base under the leadership of two Z′Goks;

Although most of these amphibious MSs of the Zeon Army, which are named after various aquatic products, give people a short and fat look in terms of body proportions, in fact, even the turtle among them is taller and heavier than the Zaku. Even more than 50%;

However, relying on the high output power brought by the water-cooled reactor, Zeon's thick-shelled shrimp soldiers and crab generals were not bad at flexibility, and they quickly used artillery fire to tilt towards the pursuing Federal Army guard infantry.

"The firepower of the Zeon Army is really fierce this time. Please ask for armor support. We need anti-tank weapons! It's the Zeon Army's mobile suit!"

The human infantry of the Federation Army were still crying for their fathers and mothers while running back. As a security force with only light weapons in the base, their performance when facing units like MS cannot be said to be timid;

But when compared with the Cyclops who rushed forward without hesitation under the control of agents carrying individual rocket launchers, the difference seemed unacceptable.

The agent calmly analyzed the performance of the Zeon amphibious aircraft. It was not common for them to land on such a large scale to fight against the Federation Army——

Although their protection, power, and firepower are higher than those of the Zaku, their flexibility and agility are not inferior;

However, the mobile suit pilots of the Zeon Navy may not be as skilled as those of the Earth Attack Force. They are experienced veterans who wish they could load their land combat type Zaku with anti-infantry fragmentation rounds and smoke grenade launchers. They are good at ground combat;

No, it's still an underground battle. The height of Gabro Base itself also limits the Zeon army's mobile suits, and they cannot freely perform the three-dimensional maneuvers of moving and dodging on the ground.

The cyclops in twos and threes shuttled silently among the explosions and shrapnel. Facing the explosion shock wave caused by MS weapons, they were not much stronger than the human body, but their iron will would not waver in the slightest.

"Tsk, what are those, the anti-MS team of the Federation Army?"

"Don't be careless. A large number of robot troops who are not afraid of death will definitely be deployed in the federal base. This has been expected for a long time. Steady progress..."

"boom!"

Before Zeon's veteran pilot could finish speaking, three rockets in a glyph shape were fired at him. Oniba turned half sideways, lowered his head and crouched down, but only dodged two of them;

Fortunately, the rocket launcher that can be carried by a single soldier is not enough to penetrate the turtle's armor from the front.

"Hey - look at the distance, and don't forget to pay attention to your steps, don't let those federal robots get under your crotch! Also, use rice particle scattering bombs to interfere with their command!"

"Captain, but Lieutenant Colonel Xia Ya hasn't been contacted yet..."

"Don't worry about Lieutenant Colonel, that man will be fine! Let's take care of ourselves first!"

An invasion of this scale is enough to touch the sluggish nerves of the federal army. The heavily armed intelligent control synthetic battalion originally deployed outside the base is moving the Type 61 main battle tanks and other heavy equipment underground through underground passages for defense. ;

At the same time, the newly formed federal mobile suit brigade equipped with Jim B-types, as well as those non-mass-produced experimental models, also entered combat status.

Perhaps for the Zeon Army, dispatching nearly a hundred mobile suits at once is already a large-scale joint operation. However, in Gabro's underground troop hiding cave, even if there are Jim E-types from Luna 2, impact; impact

Utilizing the already planned production line, a series of reliability improvements have been made. The Jim B model is still being mass-produced on a large scale. It has been equipped with about 8 aircraft in 300 brigades, and is waiting to be deployed around the world and the universe.

The progress of the Zeon Aquatics underground was slow, because every time they took a step forward, they had to carefully check whether there were any functioning Federation robots hidden in the ruins beneath their feet;

The heat signature of Cyclops is much smaller than that of humans. The thermal imaging detectors commonly used on Zeon MSs for anti-infantry use are of little use to them. Although the dispersion of rice particles can interfere with the agent's command, it cannot prevent her from attacking. Cyclops gave the final order to hide and ambush on the spot.
