1265 、 Press Conference
"Just as our Guardian Group predicted, the Dimensional Universe is invading!" Tang Yu stood on a temporary high platform and said loudly. Behind him was a huge Guardian Group logo. He was holding a press conference for the whole world.
"The Hydra Legion! This logo, this name, and even their technology are not something that our Earth has! " Tang Yu said loudly. The screen beside him showed the logo of the Hydra Legion. As he spoke, he solemnly placed his hands on the table and said seriously, "So, we can confirm that these people from the Dimensional Universe are undoubtedly hostile towards us! The invasion has begun! "
A reporter below the stage raised his hand and asked, "But the Guardian Group spent a lot of money to build the Tower of Babel, but it did not serve as an early warning. How do you explain this?"
"Three days ago, at 11 pm, the Tower of Babel intercepted a mysterious communication. After decoding it, we found that the content of the communication was that they wanted to attack Port D and destroy the United States' Seventh Fleet. So, we informed the United States of this news and bought them two precious hours! But unfortunately, the strength of the other party was beyond our imagination. So, the Seventh Fleet still suffered heavy losses. The Guardian Group also sent personnel to participate in the rescue work immediately, "Tang Yu answered.
"But don't you think that compared to the cost of the Tower of Babel, we should have done more?" The reporter asked.
Tang Yu looked at the logo on his chest. It was the United States' ABC Radio and Television Station. He suddenly understood and smiled. "First of all, the cost of building the Tower of Babel came from the profits of the Guardian Group. In other words, this itself is a contribution made by our company for the benefit of all mankind. Secondly, we bought two hours for the Seventh Fleet. During this time, the Seventh Fleet could enter combat mode and leave the port, and not let Port D become the second Pearl Harbor! From a technological point of view, what does two hours mean? Now that we have spent a lot of money to build so many earthquake warning systems, which one of them can predict earthquakes 10 minutes in advance? Not to mention detecting information from the other side of the universe. Do you understand what I mean? "
"So you're saying that the leader of the Hydra army that destroyed the Seventh Fleet, the giant robot that called itself Sky Howl, is already dead?" A reporter from China asked.
"Yes, it's dead." Tang Yu nodded.
"In that case, how does the Guardian Group intend to explain why the Hydra Army, which possessed the strength to destroy the US Navy's Seventh Fleet in a short period of time, was annihilated in less than a day at the Aurora Island? Shouldn't the Guardian Group be completely neutral? "The Chinese reporter continued to ask.
"First of all, I want to emphasize that the Guardian Group and Aurora Island have suffered heavy losses in this invasion." As Tang Yu spoke, he pulled up a video on the big screen, which showed the almost flattened Aurora Island. The originally lush forest on the island had now been bombed bare, and there was almost no green in sight. The video then switched to the beach. Countless corpses were strewn all over the place, and the seawater was dyed red. It was a ghastly sight.
On the island, a large number of G-2 engineering robots could be seen cleaning up the battlefield. They piled up countless robot wreckages and transported them away. From the pile of robot wreckages, one could tell that many of the Guardian Group's robots had been destroyed!
"In this invasion, 309 of the Guardian Group's technical personnel were sacrificed. 1,128 security personnel from the Guardian Group's subordinate security companies were sacrificed, and 10382 G-1 engineering robots were lost. In order to resist the invasion, we even put the G-2 engineering robots that had just left the factory into battle, and we lost 15139 of them. The buildings on the island were completely destroyed, including four resort hotels and a villa area. The laboratory inside the island was also destroyed. The direct economic losses reached more than 30 billion USD, and this is not including the subsequent costs, "Tang Yu said with a heavy expression.
"The reason why we were able to destroy the Hydra Army was because of an accident, or rather, luck," Tang Yu continued.
The Chinese reporter continued to ask, "According to my common sense, it is absolutely impossible for an unarmed person to defeat ten fully armed soldiers, even if it was an accident or luck."
Tang Yu smiled faintly and replied, "I'm not trying to find an excuse for myself, because it was indeed luck. A total of 2,000 soldiers from the Hydra Army landed on the island. We had already installed a bomb in the database and were preparing to evacuate Aurora Island. However, the Hydra Army broke into the database before us. However, when they were preparing to copy our database, our backup mainframe unexpectedly connected to their own mainframe through their data link. "
He shook his head with some lingering fear and said, "In order to give it a try, we used this data link to plant a computer virus in the Hydra Army's mainframe. This caused chaos among their cyborg soldiers, which eventually developed into killing each other. That was the reason why they were destroyed. "
At this moment, a reporter from the United States' CBS network stood up and questioned without even raising his hand, "Mr. Tang Yu, let me ask you, this time, the target of the Hydra Army was your Guardian Group. Their leader, the giant robot, had also said this in front of the world. For the sake of your Guardian Group, the United States' Seventh Fleet was almost completely annihilated, with 16000 navy soldiers dying, including Vice Admiral Greenard. How are you going to explain this matter? "
Tang Yu's expression instantly turned cold. He said, "During the Second World War, Germany attacked Poland, causing the war to break out. So, shouldn't Poland apologize to the people of the world? Our country was invaded by Germany, and we caused the world war? Then, the Guardian Group's explanation is that yes, we were invaded. The other party might have studied the situation on Earth, and they understand the value of the Guardian Group, as well as the weakness of Aurora Island's defense. "
"Is the sacrifice of the United States' Seventh Fleet meaningless? I suggest you listen to the voice of the people! This is the voice of the demonstration in Los Angeles and Philadelphia yesterday! " The reporter held up a miniature recorder and pressed the play button. The noise of the demonstration began to ring out.
Tang Yu still maintained his good self-restraint. He said sincerely, "The Seventh Fleet sacrificed themselves to protect Aurora Island, and more importantly, they sacrificed themselves for all of humanity! They avoided a catastrophe for Aurora Island, giving us enough time to evacuate our personnel and take away the core data. The Guardian Group also solemnly promised that the pensions of all the United States' navy soldiers who sacrificed themselves in the battle at Port D will be paid by the Guardian Group, and it will be three times the normal amount. "
"This is what you should do! Please don't treat this as charity! The reputation of the United States has been shamed, and more than 10,000 young lives have been lost in the sea. Is this a problem that can be solved with money?! "The reporter asked sternly.
"Of course, we are discussing with the United States on how to resolve this matter. Not only that, we will also give the wreckage of one of the downed motherships to the United States as compensation. The other one will be given to the United Nations, and all the countries of the United Nations will share the technology in it, "Tang Yu said with a smile.
