Chapter 50 Breaking the Defense
Just as the many high-ranking officials in the hot spring area were collectively overwhelmed and filled with disbelief, the audience from the surrounding star regions watching the live broadcast of the gala could not help but engage in heated discussion:
[No, this screen broadcast technology, we are not seeing things. ]
Does Volk have this kind of real-time fly-in special effects technology now?
[Isn't Planet Volker considered backward? How can it possess such advanced editing and screen broadcasting technology?]
[Is this still the little broken ball we know? ]
[Oh my god, this party has bad intentions. They're trying to break our defenses, right?]
[Imagined party: Savages roaring around a fire, Actual party: High-tech meets warmth, year-end summary?]
These children and dancers must be special people, they must be!
[The five-story food court behind the host can't possibly be a real set.]
[It must be fake! ]
【This is absolutely fake!!!】
[Cheating]
…
As the public discussion intensified, the leaders of the surrounding star regions finally stopped mocking the Hot Spring District informant and instead looked on in disbelief. This was especially true when they saw a few technically skilled individuals they still remembered appeared in the small footage of the video recording. Finally, their patience ran out and they began to hold the Hot Spring District informant accountable:
"Have you been eating nothing on Planet Volk all this time?!"
"The planetary commander has recruited personnel to his command and is now busy cooking for them, yet you're still living a life of luxury in the hot springs?"
"You better come up with a good excuse, or I'll cook you into a dish right now."
"Tell me in detail what happened during this period of time!"
The informants in the hot springs area finally experienced what it meant to be "caught between a rock and a hard place." They were already under house arrest by the planetary commander and facing various threats. Previously, they'd even been practically held at gunpoint over the underground river incident. Wait, the underground river...
Thinking of this, the informants in the hot spring area subconsciously fell silent for a few seconds. They had already agreed not to mention this matter. After all, the underground river was a matter of great importance. The profits would largely go to the other star region leaders, but their lives were their own. They were quite aware of this.
Unfortunately, this concealment was exposed before the end of the party.
After realizing that the informant in the hot spring area was hiding something, the high-ranking officials in the surrounding star regions called in their technicians to analyze the Volker Planet New Year's Gala frame by frame.
Coincidentally, I don't know if it was a technical malfunction or Volker's planet commander did it on purpose, but the entire party could be recorded.
It just so happened that someone in the surrounding star fields had recorded the entire Volk Planet New Year's Gala for a mocking short video. Technicians purchased the recording and analyzed it frame by frame, discovering that the satellite footage before the second show, showing the repair workers and federal security team standing on the Grand Canal embankment next to the melt hole and saluting the satellite, contained even greater information.
"So, you're saying that the planetary commander of Planet Volk dug this huge canal out of thin air next to the melt hole in just one month?!"
Relevant technical personnel: ...
"Is this your final conclusion? This great canal appeared within a month of the ice age?"
The technicians fell into silence. Seeing their boss's exasperated expression, one tried to save face: "Perhaps it's because the foundation here was unstable before."
"That's the melt hole on Planet Volk! It's the least likely place on the entire planet to have unstable foundations. Once civilians lose their shelter during the cold winter, they'll be completely frozen into popsicles. Do you understand technology?"
A group of innocent technicians who were scolded: I...! ! !
Even though they wanted to curse in their hearts, due to the current situation, they could only take a deep breath, apologize and say that they would check the matter of the canal again.
"Why does it take so long? Can't we just compare it with satellite cloud images?"
The technicians mentioned that because the satellites on Planet Volk were blocked by technology, so...
"So there's no point in raising you. That's the planet Volk. Now you're telling me that even you can't conquer the technology of that damned little bastard?"
A bunch of innocent technicians being scolded: ...
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
Suddenly someone interrupted the conversation, saying that compared to the canal, there was another thing that seemed more worthy of attention: the location of the Grand Canal happened to be connected to the location of the underground river, which meant that the planet commander might have discovered the existence of the underground river, but none of the informants in the hot spring area of Wolker Planet mentioned this.
Seeing that the boss's attention had finally returned to the informant in the hot spring area, the technical staff couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. That was great, the blame was finally thrown back on them.
Sure enough, when the high-ranking officials in the surrounding star fields asked the informants in the hot spring area about the "underground river", the informants either evaded the question or hesitated and tried to hide the truth.
Finally, when they learned that a batch of goods that was supposed to be delivered had to be "destroyed" in the underground river because of the obstruction of the planetary commander, the expressions of the high-ranking officials in the surrounding star regions finally improved visibly.
"Never mind. It's just a batch of goods after all. Besides, the underground rivers on Planet Volk are intricate and complex. Humph, I don't think this planetary commander can capture them. But I must remind you again, during this period of time, you must thoroughly investigate what this planetary commander has done in the melting cave. If there are any more mistakes, you will be cooked into a dish in the spring."
Hot Springs District Informants: ...
At the time, the Volker Planet Spring Festival Gala was still going on. They had just finished a traditional Volker Planet rap show and two skits. While the skits were funny, the Star Online audience wasn't buying them. Instead, they were frantically questioning whether the food court scene shown in the previous live broadcast was fake.
I believe you've set aside a special area in the cave to serve as a food court for the show, but I absolutely don't believe you've also set aside that area for dining.
"Yes, there are at least tens of millions of people living in the cave. Are they all eating there? Have you ever considered the practical issues of how their daily food consumption and waste will be disposed of?"
I'd rather believe in ghosts than believe there's such a place inside the melt cave on Planet Volk.
Even if this place is real, have you considered the economics? If the planetary commander of Volk really dares to do this, the economy of Volk will collapse in the short term.
What does it mean that even if this place is real, it cannot be real?
…
Looking at these comments, the high-ranking officials in the surrounding star regions could not help but sneer. These were all trivial matters, but there was one thing that really concerned them.
This technology of relaying and blocking satellite signals is not impossible to achieve if the informant in the hot spring area betrays them. In addition, the planetary commander has also learned about the underground river. If this matter was not deliberately leaked by the informant in the hot spring area, how could the planetary commander know about it?!
Maybe it was because there was a problem with the last batch of children's goods and they wanted to frame the planet commander, so they deliberately leaked the news to the planet commander. Well, this explanation makes it a lot clearer, but that grand canal... could it be that it was also secretly built by people in the hot spring area?
In short, we must send people there as soon as the cold winter on Planet Volk ends.
Just as they finished thinking this, they looked up and saw the new program "Human-Machine Collaborative Combat" of the Volker Planet Spring Festival Gala on the screen. At that moment, everyone thought they were dazzled.
The screen swiping on the Star Network also stopped for a short while, and then it was full of ridicule. People ridiculed that this could not be a show. Could it be that other programs could not fill the entire length of the evening party, so they just made up a program and put it on. Moreover, didn’t the previous wars on the planet Volk in "Human-Machine Collaboration" use sticks? At worst, they just used some old equipment to blow each other up. They couldn't even deal with an independent army, so what kind of human-machine collaborative combat was this?
The black screen disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone was a seemingly ordinary mechanical dog, and there was only one of them.
Instantly, ridicule filled the live broadcast room of Planet Volker on StarNet:
It's just a robot dog. I shouldn't have expected anything.
[It's hilarious, coordinated operations, even if it's called coordinated operations, at least there should be a large number of people to coordinate!]
[That's right! But thinking about it another way, maybe a human could collaborate with this robot dog?]
[Hahahaha, the funds I burned before are not enough here]
[Oh my god, he actually fucked nine people?]
[This is hilarious! I was wrong! One robot dog for nine soldiers? Planet Volker is truly shabby.]
I used to think Volk had become technologically advanced, but now it seems like it's still that same old, shabby little planet.
The nine soldiers who had stepped onto the circular stage on the screen had just saluted the camera when a sudden rally call sounded, followed by a voice explaining the mission and assigning tasks.
"Federal Security Volunteer Team, the people of Planet Volk need you now. Show your perseverance and determination to break through the blockade and capture the hidden rioters as soon as possible."
Just as the entire audience was feeling awkward about the voiceover, the stage suddenly stretched out infinitely. Then, a series of level effects instantly surrounded the nine combat troops and a mechanical dog like water pipes. This intricate pipe system continued to extend outward and intertwine to form an even more complex giant maze, which was also filled with a large number of traps and simulated thugs.
How can such a good program give people the feeling of playing a level-breaking game?
[But I have to say, this special effect is quite cool. ]
[Yes, this is real-time special effects. It must have made the special effects team cry.]
[I'm envious, but honestly, this is the only special effect Volker has, so I'd better use it more.]
[The budget must have exploded, hahahaha, that’s why there’s only one mechanical dog]
[It's flashy but not practical. It would be better to add more robot dogs and do some kind of dance live broadcast.]
Suddenly, nine people took action. The leader raised a black ball in his hand, and then, in front of everyone's eyes, the mechanical dog suddenly transformed into a dense swarm of small spiders, swarming towards the surrounding pipeline system. At this time, the nine members also divided into standard tactical trios and began to advance towards the pipeline system.
At this time, the technicians in the surrounding star fields always felt that the place represented by these pipelines seemed familiar, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't figure out where it was.
The people in power in the surrounding star regions looked at this place with increasingly strange expressions... This place seemed a bit like the underground river on the planet Volk that we had seen before.
But they couldn't understand what the program was trying to express. It was called "Human-Machine Collaboration," but it looked more like an excavation of an underground river.
Could it be that because of those idiots in the hot spring area, the planet commander wanted to express on the show his determination to continue digging the underground river?
After the show had been going on for a while, one of the nine people suddenly discovered that there was a miniature bomb in the water pipe that was about to explode. Then he looked at the timer set for the miniature bomb and found that there were only three seconds left.
There was no time to retreat. With a bang, the three-person team that had detected the micro-bomb made a tactical dive to the ground to avoid damage. At this moment, the small spider tide transformed from the mechanical dog spread its body like a web to form a barrier, isolating the three-person team from any possible damage caused by the explosion.
But the crisis was not over yet. This giant maze wall that looked like a water pipe was indeed a water pipe. Suddenly, a large amount of water was gushing out and it was about to drown the three-person team. Fortunately, the other six people who received the news came back and brought back a small wave of spiders.
Until this moment, the people who were watching the show realized that the spider tide was like a defensive barrier that always gathered around these nine people, spontaneously providing them with a combination of reconnaissance, offense, and defense.
As excessive water poured into the pipe system, the nine-man team was about to be completely submerged by the water. The small spider tide unexpectedly condensed into a mechanical dog and began to automatically navigate the way.
At this moment, a thug suddenly swam out from another pipe and attacked the nine-man combat team. Although the nine people immediately fought back, they could not withstand the thug's fierce momentum. One of them was injured. At this time, the mechanical dog that had been walking in front turned around and pulled the injured person back into the water and carried the injured person on its body.
Then, a small number of small spiders were sprayed in the direction of the thugs. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the one holding the black ball among the nine people slapped the black ball, and the small spiders immediately exploded in the water, separating the two sides and helping the nine-man team get out of the water.
Finally, the nine people were about to escape from the water pipe maze, but suddenly a large number of torture instruments that they had not had time to detect before appeared in front of them, as well as thugs who continued to lurk in the pipe. At this time, one of the nine people made a gesture for support.
Then, a dense swarm of black drones, like a swarm of locusts, swam in, bringing precious hope from the darkness. The robot dog, seeing that one of the nine members of the team was safe, resolutely jumped into the water and disintegrated into a wave of small spiders that intertwined with the black drones. A wave of them directly exploded all the checkpoints in the water pipe maze in front of them.
Of the nine combat team members who followed closely behind, six stepped forward to arrest the thugs, while the remaining two, one on each side, helped their injured teammates away. Finally, one of the six combat team members who escorted the thugs away gave a thumbs-up towards the camera before leaving the scene.
At this moment, both the drone and the robot dog returned to his side, and the stage gradually darkened.
The screen on Starnet began to scroll frantically:
[Oh my god, is this a movie? This scene is so sci-fi.]
[You know what, these special effects, this audio experience, and the visual impact are amazing!]
It would be a waste if we don’t use this technology to make movies!
[I'm dying of laughter. Is this a military program about human-machine collaboration? This is just my imagination of a human-machine collaboration combat scene.]
Maybe it's an idea stolen from a movie.
【Hahaha, I guarantee it is】
But the stage lit up again, and the imaginary drone, the robot dog and the nine performers did not leave the stage. Instead, they shyly waved to the camera to say hello.
The host then approached these nine people and learned through questioning that these nine people were the active members of the Federal Security Team who had first submitted volunteer applications during the previous melt hole crisis.
Of course, the drones and mechanical dogs around are also active combat units, but the mechanical dog looks very cute, and keeps trying to push its mechanical head to the host's side to grab attention.
"We call this mechanical dog Fearless because it was it that fearlessly blocked the micro-bomb that appeared during the crisis and rescued our members during the previous mission. We are very grateful to it and gave it this name after it was repaired and returned to serve in the Federal Security Force."
"So can this mechanical dog really split into multiple little spiders?" the host asked curiously.
"That's right. Because it's made of memory metal, even if it's seriously injured, it can still return to us after repairs."
"I also noticed the drones behind you. Can these drones really swim?"
"Well, yes, that's correct. We don't actually know the exact parameters, but by coordinating with them, we can quickly advance our operations without having to worry about getting hurt again."
"The control ball in my hand can control the drone and the robot dog to work together, and also includes the robot dog's mutation, generating half of the small spider tide or re-condensing or forming an explosive wall, etc."
Following the introduction of the nine active members of the Federal Security Team, the Star Network, whether it was the audience watching the live broadcast, the high-ranking officials of the surrounding star regions, or the corresponding technical personnel, all broke down their defenses.
It is pure nonsense to curse how it is possible for the planet Volk to produce such god-level military equipment and memory metal, not to mention that it has to surround the combatants throughout the entire process and provide a full set of auxiliary support. This is impossible to appear on the existing planet Volk!
The most important thing is that this program also points out that these god-level military equipment have been put into real use and have completed human-machine collaborative combat. Bah, everything is possible in dreams.
However, what is even more amazing is that at the end of this program, nine active members of the Federal Security Forces faced the camera and made a special statement:
"Oh, and the planet commander also told us that if we were on the show, we should remember to shout something to the camera after it's over."
"What are you shouting?" The host handed over the microphone in his hand.
Suddenly, the nine team members quickly struck a pose, placed the drone and the robot dog's head in their palms, and faced the camera with an awkward but polite smile: "Not 9999, not 998, 98 robot dog and drone packed up and take them home."
"Is this true?" the host couldn't help but ask again.
"Of course, this is fake, okay, thank you everyone."
The show came to an abrupt end here, and a new music show came, but more people on Starnet started cursing the planet commander Shengxia.
They began to frantically interpret the meaning of the last words spoken by the nine players.
[Of course, this is fake, so understand? This is the truth that makes everyone laugh.]
[Oh my god, they even put the actual stuff up there! This is military equipment.]
[It's fake just because the real thing is put up there. After all, this is military equipment!]
"Let me be fair. Even if this military equipment is described in such detail, is there anyone in the existing star system who can restore it? Isn't this just the commander of the planet Volk showing off arrogantly?"
Please, some technicians can analyze it frame by frame for me. I can’t bear to watch it anymore. It’s so annoying.
Is this military equipment real or fake?
…
At this moment, a group of relevant technical personnel were called into the office of the high-ranking officials in the surrounding star regions. They were asked to determine from the screen recordings within three hours whether the performance of the mechanical dogs and drones displayed on the Volk planet was real.
A group of relevant technical personnel looked at the screen recording, then looked at the sinister expression of the high-ranking officials who looked as if they were about to eat someone in the next second, and then looked at the screen recording again.
...Okay, this is a life-and-death game!
