Chapter 678 Internal War of the Mechanical Cluster

Looking at the nearly twenty soldiers around her who were holding electromagnetic guns, Tilan raised her right hand.

"Can you put down your guns? We have no ill intentions." Although she was not afraid of these guns, if a fight broke out, there would probably be endless troubles afterwards.

"Humph." After seeing the appearance of the four people, although Shedon's expression did not change, his hostility was not as strong as before.

"Put down your guns? You should exit the engine compartment first." He asked the surrounding soldiers to make way. It was unclear whether he did this out of goodwill or simply did not want to damage this extremely precious engine because of the battle.

The four people walked out slowly under the aim of the guns. Among them, Loloria was full of indifference, Orles was a little confused, and Celitia was a little vigilant and did not trust the members of the Slami Association.

After the four people completely walked out of the engine compartment, Shedon immediately had people block the place and block the entrance to prevent the four people from returning to the engine compartment again. Only then did he have some leisure time to talk to the four people.

"Since you are quite sensible, I will not hold you responsible this time. Thank the rules set by the Slami Association. If it were any other organization, you would have been silenced." He said arrogantly.

"Can it be said that you want to occupy this relic and the spaceship?" Tilan asked, stroking the hair beside her ear.

"Your words are quite aggressive and dissatisfied, girl." He glanced at Tilan. Although he was surprised by the girl's appearance, he also felt hostility.

"You are so beautiful, you must be the descendant of a special race, haha." It seems that in his eyes, those races that only rely on innate advantages to become strong are contemptible.

"Yes, this place did not originally belong to us, but since you call it a relic, it naturally does not belong to anyone."

"You want to use the poor logic of whoever discovers it first to attack me, it is just laughable."

"We, the Slami Association, have enough knowledge, personnel, and strength to complete the development of the entire relic and use it for the revival of this world. It is our mission to master it, not to transfer it to you ignorant races." He seemed to have no good feelings towards all the new races.

A very stern tone, Tilan thought.

"Aren't your members also from various new races? Why are you so hostile to us?" Tilan didn't understand this.

"Oh, I really want to answer this question." If it was any other question, Seldon would probably have driven him away.

He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in this aisle.

"What do you think of the same kind? The same and similar genes? This is actually a very animalistic concept, especially in the fifth era, when genetic modification emerges in an endless stream, and blood does not have any sacredness. You and I can change the genetic sequence of our offspring at will, but this does not affect their being my heirs."

"Our Slami Association has always valued common cognition and the same great ideals, rather than the so-called genetic bloodline. The alliance built by knowledge and consensus is far better than your narrow bloodline race theory." What surprised Tilan was that the other party actually said a set of advanced theories.

No wonder the Slami Association of the South Continent is far stronger than the various ethnic settlements of the North Continent. With this set of consensus theories, they can easily accommodate various different races. In addition, in the eyes of the hybridization of various new races for hundreds of years, many people's bloodline talents are actually not obvious, and they cannot enjoy the bonus of bloodline talents at all. Instead, they are limited by their racial identity.

The concept of the Slami Association has undoubtedly broken many barriers, united more members, and is also very conducive to future expansion.

According to Fran's narration and recollection, the Slami Association has now popularized basic education, and has a complete talent training plan and pension plan. This structure has enabled the Slami Association to continuously expand its personnel strength, and even have spare capacity for transoceanic voyages and travel.

If they are given another hundred years, they may really be able to unify this planet, and then gradually restore technology.

"Is that so..." Tilan thought about it, and did not argue with the other party anymore. Instead, she obeyed the other party's opinion and withdrew from the ruins.

"Really don't want that engine? Although it is difficult to carry out interstellar voyages, it is also good to use it for research." Loloria was a little regretful.

"You said that we can't sail." Tilan shook her head.

"Even if we use it for research, our camp does not have the basic conditions, whether it is a laboratory, equipment, or related personnel, etc." If the Slami Association can really research something, she will come to ask at that time. As a singer who grew up in the Rose Federation, she still has a lot of chips to exchange with the other party.

Lololia didn't understand Tilan's sudden abandonment, while Orles didn't understand it at all. Celitia felt a little regretful. In fact, she wanted to see how effective such an engine was.

Speaking of spaceships, the Silver Wings actually have them, but they can't fly away from the planet either. Other races don't know this secret at all, and even the Slami Association only has some guesses and speculations.

After leaving the ruins, the four of them planned to spend the night nearby and rest for a night, and then go back tomorrow.

At night, Tilan sat by the campfire, with a thin blanket under her, Orles leaned on her thighs and slept soundly, and Lololia sat on the tree canopy with her eyes closed and dozed. Only Celitia was still asleep.

"Tilan." She called the girl's name softly, causing her to look up from her memories.

"What's wrong, Celitia." She looked at the winged companion opposite her curiously.

It must be said that Celitia really fits the image of an angel too well. The wings behind her are white, and her personality is both strong and soft. During this period of time, she helped Tilan deal with many affairs in the camp.

"What do you think of different races?" She hugged her knees and rested her chin on them.

"Me..." Tilan thought as she stroked Orles' hair.

"They are probably different individuals swept up by the times." She couldn't say that she particularly loved a certain group, nor could she say that she completely hated it.

Celitia had some different ideas about this answer, so she continued to ask.

"If you have a different guy under your command now, such as A and B, one of them is very smart and does things quickly, but the other is very stupid, and does many things poorly and slowly, and also messes up some things."

"Will you pay them equally?" Celitia asked.

"Is that so? I should pay more to those who do well. He deserves it."

"But if we do this, the dumber one will be sad. What will you do?" Celitia continued to ask.

"I will try to teach him, let him keep up with the pace, and complete the simpler tasks." As if she had anticipated what Celitia would ask, Tilan continued to talk.

"If he still can't learn like this, it's probably due to his innate factors. I will try to comfort him and tell him not to be sad."

"Comfort will also have an end." Celitia thought of something. "

He still has to face the facts in the end." "

Then how will Celitia deal with it?" Tilan was curious about the other party's thoughts.

"I..." Celitia thought about it and didn't answer immediately.

"I haven't thought about it yet." In fact, she had an answer in her heart, but she didn't say it at this moment.

Tilan was aware of Celitia's hesitation, but she didn't expose it. As a singer, she had seen too many people who said one thing and did another. Not all of them had malicious intentions, but they all had their reasons, or they were afraid of hurting each other by speaking too bluntly.

The two skipped this topic and turned to the Slami Association they met today.

"It seems that they should have a complete industry, which can equip soldiers on a large scale, and can also produce advanced aircraft and armored vehicles." Tilan thought about the scene she saw during the day.

"Those power armors are indeed more advanced." Celitia nodded.

"Ordinary bullets and explosions cannot penetrate them, and they can resist the attack of mechanical bodies at close range."

The two were discussing the production line of electromagnetic weapons and the possibility of building them in the camp in the future. At this time, a flash of light lit up in the sky, and then an explosion came from the distance.

"That is..." Tilan saw that it was the direction of the ruins.

"There was a battle over there." Lololia, who was originally dormant in the tree canopy, jumped down, and air flow spurted out from her feet and skirt, and she was suspended in the air.

"It seems that the mechanical cluster has returned." Her optical radar can see very far.

"Should we go over, Tilan." Lololia was eager to try.

"You go first and try to control those mechanical bodies." Tilan nodded.

"OK, received the order, the Meliancast system is activated!" Lololia's figure rose up and flew quickly towards the ruins, turning into a flash in a few seconds.

"She's so fast." Celitia was surprised.

"Of course, she's an artificial angel after all." Speaking of angels, Tilan looked at the wings behind Celitia, and suddenly wondered which one of Celitia and Loloria flew faster.

"Let's go over there too." Tilan lifted Orlesi from her knees and led the still confused Orlesi into the air.

The three flew to the scene of the incident.

The members of the Slami Association stationed here were fighting with the swarming mechanical bodies. Several machine guns were set up and fired continuously, sweeping the mechanical bodies in sight. Several tracked mecha tanks were also deployed in the position, continuously firing support.

In the night sky, sporadic red dots flickered, and mechanical cockroaches circled and dived, shooting out fiery red spikes, killing members of the ground position, but they were also quickly shot down by the anti-aircraft guns in the position and fell to the ground.

During the battle, a large number of mechanical bodies swarmed forward, forcing the members of the Slami Association on the front line to fight in close combat. However, flesh and steel were obviously difficult to fight. Except for a few members equipped with power armor who held on, many ordinary combat members were knocked down.

In the chaos, Shedon led some personnel to transport the disassembled engine core out of the ground and transferred it to the place where the aircraft was parked. During the way, many mechanical bodies rushed over to attack, making it difficult for them to move.

At this time, a little fire came quickly from far to near. Lololia directly knocked away the various machines blocking the road. The jets from her legs and back slowed her body down and suspended in the air. Then the invisible electronic pulses washed and spread, temporarily paralyzing all the mechanical bodies in the field.

At this time, the frightened Slami Association saw Lololia in the air and recognized her as the member next to Tilan just now.

"Are you the 'artificial angel'?" Shedon said the legendary name in disbelief.

"Yes, I am the artificial angel Lololia. I came to help you because of Tilan's order." While talking to these people, Lololia's emerald eyes flashed with various data. She began to connect with these mechanical bodies on the ground and tried to input commands to control them.

"Thank you." Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to help him, Seldon didn't think too much about it. He turned around and asked someone to push the dismantled jump engine to the aircraft.

Seeing that the other party ignored her at this time, Lololia was a little angry, but she had more important things to do.

The process of connecting and controlling these mechanical bodies was not smooth. Lololia tried various keys and commands, but these mechanical bodies did not respond, and some even started to fire at her after recovering from paralysis.

Dingding bullets hit her body, making a crisp sound. Although it didn't hurt, Lololia felt sorry for the clothes Tilan made for her. It would be bad if they were damaged.

She moved quickly again, hovering in the sky, avoiding various bullets, and monitoring the direction of the members of the Slami Association below.

Unfortunately, after several minutes of trying, she still couldn't control the mechanical bodies on the ground, and then the aircraft that the members of the Slami Association were riding on gradually took off.

At this time, Tilan and Celitia rushed to the scene, looking at the aircraft that was spewing flames and rising continuously. Several people looked at Tilan and saw that she had no intention of taking action, so they had to give up.

The aircraft spewed blue transparent flames in the air and began to accelerate continuously. Soon it turned into a small dot in the air. Just when everyone thought that this adventure and encounter was over, a deep red ion beam descended from the sky and directly penetrated the speeding aircraft and pierced it.

The damaged aircraft fell from the sky with thick smoke, fell to the ground, and exploded into broken sparks.

Tilan and others turned their eyes to the sky in the night, and a hazy outline slowly appeared. When Loloria approached quickly and reflected it with the projected light, everyone could see clearly what it was.

This mechanical body suspended in the air is like a giant crab, covered with solid riveted armor. It is not flying fast. As it approaches, it opens the belly of the body, and many mechanical bodies like dragonflies flip out and then approach with a buzzing sound. There

are hundreds and thousands of them, all over the night sky, like flashing crimson meteors.

Then these dragonflies swooped over the ground, and their hollow particle cannons swept the various mechanical bodies remaining on the ground, breaking them into pieces. Facing the attack of these dragonflies, the remaining mechanical bodies on the ground also rapidly changed their arrays. They gathered at the location of the ruins, connected together, and pointed the strongest armor to the sky. Then many mechanical bodies drilled into the ground, as if preparing to return to the spacecraft.

Faced with such resistance, the huge crab-shaped aircraft carrier in the night sky shot out two thick crimson ion streams, which directly burned through the mechanical bodies on the ground, and sent the hovering mechanical dragonflies to fire continuously, attacking the scattered mechanical bodies.

In this way, a large number of mechanical bodies on the ground were destroyed. Finally, the crab-shaped aircraft carrier arrived above the remains of the spacecraft. Heavy bombs were dropped one after another, like heavy stones hitting the sea, lifting up the entire plot of land.

This was the first time that Tilan saw a mechanical cluster use bombs, and the effect was terrifying. The land within a radius of a thousand meters was lifted up, and the spacecraft that was originally buried underground was directly exposed by the explosion.

"It's going to..." Tilan suddenly realized something and prepared to move forward.

Then a bright pillar of crimson jets fell from the sky, directly penetrating the spacecraft underground, burning and destroying it as a whole. The high-temperature heat wave spread, giving people a feeling of suffocation.

The crimson light column obliquely passed through the atmosphere, illuminating the night sky for dozens of miles, and briefly illuminated the huge crab-shaped aircraft carrier in the night sky, in which the letters and words of the Mechanical Council were so eye-catching.

More than ten seconds later, the beam of light stopped, and many mechanical dragonflies flashing red light flew past, quickly cleaning the ground before destroying the mechanical bodies.

At this time, Tilan could see the two sides fighting each other on the ground. They were obviously mechanical bodies. One of them suddenly jumped up and held down the mechanical dragonfly that was swooping down. Then it continued to cut with its side blades, destroying the dragonfly's wings and limbs. In the end, both died in the self-explosion.

"Why are they fighting against each other..." Tilan didn't understand.

Could it be that hundreds of years ago, the members of the Mechanical Council on this planet had a serious internal fight, and even became mortal enemies? This can also explain why every takeover by Loloria was always unsuccessful, because both parties had already replaced the keys and permissions to prevent the opponent from interfering with the control of their own mechanical bodies.

"Let's go, Tilan." Celitia flapped her wings and landed beside her.

"Look over there." Following Celitia's finger, Tilan saw two other crab-shaped aircraft carriers approaching in the distant night sky. They were carrying thousands of flying mechanical dragonflies. The letters and codes on the aircraft carriers were almost the same as the one in front of her.

At this time, the spacecraft in the underground ruins had already been burned into useless wreckage, and it was useless to stay here any longer.

"Let's go, Tilan, I will tell you why these machines are engaged in a civil war, and the true situation of this planet now." Celitia pulled Tilan up, and the few of them gradually moved away from the battlefield like tiny points of light.
