1491. The Invasion Begins
"Morpheus, do you know which people are worth saving and which people are not?" Tang Yu's voice echoed in Morpheus' ears. That was what Tang Yu said to him before he left. "In my opinion, there are too many people in Zion who don't know what they are facing. They don't know their responsibilities, and they don't know their future. The robots are too strong, so we just need to fight back. At most, we will just die. There are many people who think this way. "
"The reason why the robots stayed in Zion is because of their desire to evolve. But on the other hand, it is also because of the respect won by the ancestors of humans who fought against the robots. It is because of their struggle that the robots realized their inadequacies compared to humans. That is why the robots wanted to study and learn from humans. That is why there is the Matrix and Zion. "
"No! In my opinion, everyone in Zion has the determination to fight the robots to the end!! "This was what Morpheus retorted.
"Let me make a bet with you. If you ask the Zion Council for a general mobilization, they will not agree," Tang Yu said.
"Why?"
"It is not because they are greedy for power, nor is it because they are afraid of the enemy. It is because they are unwilling to change the status quo. Overall, the environment in Zion is still stable. The robot patrol team is usually made up of 10 robot squids. Such a force is not enough to threaten Zion. So, as time goes by, many people lose their drive and want to maintain the status quo. "
"However, to rebuild human civilization from the ruins, we need the drive to challenge the unknown!! It is the determination to fight to the last man even if there is no hope!! Even if you are a civilian, you have the determination to walk into the battlefield with a gun!! Refuge? No? There is no refuge! Since the outcome of defeat is death, then I would rather die with a gun!! "
"Even if I meet the Machine Emperor this time and succeed, do you think it is over? No! For humans, this is just the beginning!! You will walk out of this cage and go to the real world! You will build your own home from scratch!! You will gradually develop and grow stronger under the siege of Country 01 in fear!! Only those who were filled with passion, ambition, and hope would have the ability to survive and be worth saving! Only such a person is worth risking our lives for!!! "Tang Yu's voice echoed in his mind.
Morpheus looked outside. The entire Zion had been mobilized. Adults and children, men and women, those who could carry a gun went to get it. Those who could not carry a gun went to transport ammunition, prepare medical supplies, prepare sandbags, and build bunkers. Everyone was working and working hard instead of hiding in the shelter and shivering!
Morpheus' gaze turned resolute as he muttered to himself, "You are right, Tang Yu … Since you have already done so much for us, then let us, the humans of Zion, show you our determination!!"
* Rumble … * A deafening sound came from the reinforced rock wall above Zion, growing louder and louder.
"Sir! The robot's rig is less than 50 meters away from us! In at most ten minutes, they will drill through the rock stratum! "A soldier said loudly.
"Then, they should arrive at the spaceport first! There's still a 100-meter-thick rock stratum between the spaceport and the main city of Zion. If we lose the spaceport, we have half an hour to organize a second line of defense! "Locke said loudly," APU troops, complete the final preparations immediately! Focus on defending the power cables and storage area!! "
"Yes!!" the messenger replied.
"Morpheus! I'll leave the command of the hovercraft fleet to you. Be sure to cut off the mechanical squid's attack! "
"Leave it to me." Morpheus nodded, walked to the other side of the command center, and began to issue commands on the holographic battle map.
Rumble ~ ~ ~ The sound of the giant drill penetrating the rock stratum grew louder and louder. One could even see cracks appearing on the reinforced rock stratum at the top of Zion!
In Zion's spaceport, hundreds of humanoid mechas were arranged in groups of three, taking their positions at key locations. The full name of this APU mecha is' Armored '.
Units, also known as mechanical infantry. It was a relatively basic humanoid mech. It was powered by diesel and its movements were rather clumsy. In the middle of the mech was an almost unprotected cockpit. The pilot was exposed, not even a layer of glass. This was because the energy supply of the mech could not keep up, and Zion did not have sophisticated sensor technology, so they simply left the pilot exposed, at least it would not affect the vision.
Behind these APU mechs was a pair of very long mechanical arms. The mechanical arms had three joints and were manually controlled by the pilot. If the pilot was well-trained, he could guarantee a very good firing range. This was also one of the few advantages of this type of APU mech. The mechanical arms were equipped with a 30mm caliber machine gun. This powerful armor-piercing bullet could easily tear through the armor of the mechanical squid and destroy them.
In fact, in Jean Connor's opinion, this type of mech was simply trash. In the Guardian Empire, not to mention the latest sixth generation mechanized exoskeleton, even the relatively outdated fourth generation mechanized exoskeleton sold to the outside could easily beat this type of mech. This type of mech could only deal with the mechanical squid. Even if the opponent had a little bit of long-range firepower, it could directly kill the unprotected pilot, thus paralyzing the mech.
Under Jean Connor's suggestion, these APU mechs were arranged closer to the bunkers where the human soldiers were hiding, so that when the mech needed to change ammunition, it could be very convenient to get support. However, Jean Connor did not overstep his authority and say too much. This Battle of Zion was a competition of strength, and it had little to do with tactics.
At this time, the cracked rock formation at the top of Zion suddenly began to turn red. This was a sign that the rock formation began to melt under the friction of the drilling machine. Immediately afterward, drops of lava began to drip down, and the cracks became bigger and bigger! Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the rock formation shattered, revealing a big hole with a diameter of about 5 meters!! The inside of the hole was dark red, and it was all magma melted by the friction!
Immediately afterward, a huge drilling machine fell from the big hole! This drilling machine basically only had a giant drill bit with a diameter of 5 meters and a length of more than 10 meters. It was surrounded by four thick mechanical legs supporting it. With the weight of this drilling machine, the power when it fell was no different from a heavy bomb!!
However, this drilling machine fell halfway and suddenly disappeared! Immediately afterward, it appeared on its back at the bottom of the spaceport. The four mechanical legs kept struggling, but could not stand up for a while.
Jean Connor looked at Peacock beside him who was holding a feather fan and asked with a smile, "You've just arrived and you're already so generous? Have you recovered? "
Peacock raised her fan and gently covered her cherry lips. She said slowly, "Even if I haven't fully recovered, my role in this battle is much greater than yours, right?"
Jean Connor grinned, "Haha! Then I'll have a good look at your ability!! "
