Chapter 304, Blackbird Battle Conclusion, Iron Man Puzzle
Martins' gunshot woke up his men.
He didn't need to say much, his actions already showed his dissatisfaction.
The new blood of the Phoenix still felt a little ashamed. They shouldn't be shocked by what they saw.
At this moment, the only way to redress the dissatisfaction of the regiment commander is to take practical action.
They deployed silently and swiftly, carefully watching out for any enemies while dispersing throughout the area.
They began to place appropriate bombs everywhere to ensure that everything in the building could be destroyed.
Martins walked forward and came before Iron Fats, whose eyes were still flashing with lightning.
He pulled out his power sword.
And at this moment, the lightning in the eyes of the half-body woman in front of him suddenly subsided, revealing the human-like eyes underneath.
"Human, please listen to me..."
Without saying a word, Martins raised the power sword high and cut off the man's waist with one blow.
There was a flash of lightning, and Iron Fachers' body was pulled up by the tube behind his head and did not fall.
But the words she hadn't finished were already flowing out.
"...Say, no matter how you view the God of Change, the will under the Mechanical Throne has never changed..."
Martins remained silent, and with another sword, he cut off the many tubes connected to the back of Iron Fachers' head.
Now, his words really started to become intermittent and full of whistling sounds.
Between the creaking and creaking, she only managed to leave the last words:
"... always be tolerant of mankind... always be gracious... always have a place... flesh and blood are weak, machine..."
Behind Martins, several elite soldiers came up carrying a black coffin. They put Iron Fachers' half-mechanical, half-human body into it.
Afterwards, several direct students brought by Wu Jiarong, wearing sealed iron masks, silently checked the entire machine, collecting data and looking for valuable information.
Martins hesitated to speak.
He wanted to stop these people from doing this.
Just as he had thought before, such blasphemous things should not exist in this world at all. The blasphemous words that Iron Fats just said just now proved this point even more.
However, in the end, Martins did not say the words to stop him.
These people should have come here under the orders of Ms. Wu Jiarong. Wu Jiarong is a technical officer that the Governor trusts very much. She usually stays at home and rarely participates in external affairs.
He suddenly sent a small team to do the job, which obviously showed that he took it very seriously. Maybe the governor knew about it.
After much thought, Martins decided not to have any conflict over this matter.
Thinking about the Governor's ability, nothing should go wrong, right?
…
The Governor that Martins has been thinking about is still on Koroja 3.
Gu Hang knew what happened in Black Bird City.
Martins guessed correctly. Wu Jiarong, who never asked about external affairs, would suddenly send people out to work. That was assigned by Gu Hang.
The reason was that when the coalition forces were approaching Blackbird City, Gu Hang, who was at Koroja No. 3, discovered that the [Event] option kept flashing in the system interface.
When I clicked on it, I found an unknown event that could be unlocked by spending 200 points of grace.
This is just like the event when [Phoenix is dying] was activated. It is an unknown event that can only be seen after unlocking.
Considering the income at that time, and the abundant gift points on hand, after six months, plus the ones left over from before, there were more than 30,000 gift points. The consumption of these 200 points was not worth mentioning.
If by any chance he were to draw a terrible event, Gu Hang could choose to leave it alone and not do anything.
After this event was extracted, it was named "Iron Man Puzzle".
[Event activated: Iron Man Puzzle]
[There is an Iron Man rebellion on your planet, but have you ever wondered why all smart devices, which were once the greatest helpers in the process of human conquest of the universe, have finally become taboos that the entire human society avoids like snakes and scorpions? ]
[Look for clues related to Iron Man and conduct research. Perhaps you will gradually find some answers.]
【Reward unknown.】
Gu Hang admitted that there were certain risks in doing so. The most reasonable way to deal with such blasphemous things was to follow the relevant regulations of the empire and destroy them as soon as they were discovered, destroying all traces of their existence without leaving any room for them.
The reason why there are such strict and absolute regulations on the handling of blasphemous objects is, of course, the result of the painful experiences that the Human Empire has encountered over the past few decades when encountering these things, and the lessons learned are the result.
This is definitely the safest way to handle it.
However... on the one hand, Gu Hang was indeed curious about the issues raised in this incident; on the other hand, the 'unknown' reward did make Gu Hang itchy.
Of course, if this is a big gift package of individual items for him, no matter how beautifully or temptingly it is packaged, he will not easily accept it.
But this one, comes from his system.
It’s not that he really trusts his system 100%. Maybe this is just a thing made by some evil god in the subspace. Is there some shocking conspiracy?
But I think one of Gu Hang’s strengths is that he doesn’t think too much about meaningless things.
First of all, he had used the system a lot in the two and a half years since he got it, and it had never let him down.
Second, and most importantly, he has been using the system for two and a half years, and he will probably use it frequently in the future. In this case, why bother talking about whether the system is malicious? If it is really a conspiracy of the evil god of the subspace, Gu Hang would have been deeply involved in it long ago.
In this situation, Gu Hang didn't think much about it and asked Wu Jiarong to send someone to investigate the scene and bring back the real body of Iron Fachers for research.
To be honest, he didn't know if this was the solution to this so-called 'Iron Man Puzzle', but let's do it anyway.
Of course, you can trust the system, but you still need to be careful when doing specific things.
When Wu Jiarong is researching this thing, she will set up a new research institute that will be completely separated from those black boxes. During the research process, all researchers must be isolated and abide by a series of research rules, undergo regular physical examinations, and avoid corruption problems as much as possible.
…
Gu Hang quickly put the matter of the [Iron Man Puzzle] aside and didn't think about it anymore.
After all, this can only be considered a casual move. Whether there will be any benefits or what the rewards will be will be discussed later.
Gu Hang was more focused on the war itself.
[Blackbird Battle Results: A hearty victory, 22,990 points of grace obtained]
[Total loss 119384, 764023 eliminated]
[Astra Militarum - 3rd Dragonhawk Legion (Allied Forces): 74,847 casualties, 416,167 eliminated]
[Star Army - Angry Bear Legion: Loss 12697, 97016 destroyed]
[Alliance County-Central Army Group: 31,840 lost, 250,840 eliminated]
…
A total of 760,000 enemies were wiped out, while the Allied forces lost a total of 110,000 men.
This loss is not all deaths in battle, but also includes combat and non-combat casualties. Those who can return to the army and recover their combat effectiveness after a relatively short period of treatment will not be counted.
The actual number of casualties was around 60,000 to 70,000.
Overall, the casualty ratio was 1:7, which is a pretty good number.
However, in reality, the combat effectiveness of both sides is not as great as the data shows. The Alliance army is well-equipped and well-supplied. If we exclude special situations such as ambushes and surprise attacks, and deploy chariots, horses and artillery to fight head-on, they can achieve a ratio of about 1:4; the Astra Militarum is a little worse, and can only achieve a ratio of 1:2.5.
However, sometimes the victorious side in a war can achieve extraordinary results all of a sudden after making a breakthrough, forming an encirclement, and launching an organized annihilation campaign at certain critical junctures.
The same is true in reverse. No matter what the so-called exchange ratio is on the front battlefield, as long as you lose and let the other side fight a beautiful annihilation war, such as cutting off logistics, surrounding you, and preventing ammunition and supplies from being delivered, then both the Alliance soldiers and the Astra Militarum soldiers will be easily wiped out in large numbers.
It’s a pity that these things only happened to those mechanical monsters, and humans were the victorious party.
This also brought Gu Hang more than 20,000 grace points.
Up to now, including the monthly gift points income accumulated over the past six months, the total number of gift points he has on hand has exceeded 50,000.
I feel like I can do a lot.
But don't rush.
Gu Hang is not in Angry Owl Star now, so there is no way he can do anything even if he wants to.
He has been here for half a year. He has returned to the Angry Owl Star several times, but other than that he has been staying on Koroga 3 to cooperate with the investigation.
The impact and aftermath of the death of the war apostle Boggio Gallardo are more serious than imagined.
First, in the Pegasus region, we have tried our best to recruit elites from all parties to form an investigation team. The head nun and the bishop of the Koroja diocese are all big shots. In the Pegasus region, the influence of the Mechanicus is very weak, with only one mechanical priest at the highest; the Psychic Order is not very good either, and the president is only a C-level psychic. But in general, we have tried our best to mobilize the best candidates from all parties.
This also includes Gu Hang, the person involved and an A-level psychic.
The Tianma Star Region's own investigation lasted about half a month, and the final conclusion was that this was a demon attack, and the War Apostle unfortunately fell into the abyss crack.
However, the claim that the Tianma star region's investigation team was eliminated was obviously not convincing.
It’s not about whether the evidence is sufficient or whether the investigation method can stand up to scrutiny. The main problem is that the identity and status of the deceased are too important, and the status of the investigation team is too low.
Half a month later, the investigation team from Yunluo Star, the capital of the Dragon Eagle Star Region, arrived.
This wave of lineup is quite large, led by an Inquisitor from the Inquisition and with a whole team of elite members from the Inquisition; the three major factions, the Ecclesiarchy, the Mechanicus, and the Convent of Psionics have all gathered, and the Administrative Department and the Military Affairs Department have all sent representatives.
This entire huge investigation team also brought a fleet and an army.
At their request, all those who participated in the banquet that day were not allowed to leave Koroga 3 and had to be re-investigated.
Their investigation hadn't produced any results yet, and the Eastern Universe Investigation Team had also arrived. The composition and structure were similar to the Star Domain Investigation Team, but the specifications were higher.
Then, there was new news recently that an investigation team from the Sun Expeditionary Force, representing the Sun Lord, was on the way. However, they were too far away, and the investigation team was expected to arrive in a year.
Things are getting bigger and bigger.
Both Chief Pedes and Governor Akuna are already numb.
The two of them were thinking about how to reduce their responsibility before, but now they can forget about it. They still have a certain influence on the investigation team of the Dragon Eagle Star Region by moving up and down; but when it comes to the government of the Universe Region, their influence is already minimal, not to mention the team that will arrive in a year with the wrath of the Sun Lord.
With such a big scene, Gu Hang became a little nervous.
The universe is too big, the empire is too big, and there are many talented people. Who knows if some of those powerful people can really do something?
However, after much consideration, he felt more at ease.
Even if the person who came was powerful enough to pull Gallardo back from the domain of the "kind father" and ask him in person what happened, Gallardo could only say that he was unlucky and was attacked by the devil. He didn't see Gu Hang take action, the whole process was the plague devil, so he couldn't blame Gu Hang.
However, being trapped in Koroja 3 and unable to leave is also a very annoying thing.
During the past six months, apart from being investigated and investigating others, Gu Hang often called home in the remaining time, keeping in touch with Ossena, Lambert, Thadius, Yan Fangxu and others.
At present, the situation on Angry Owl Star is still good. During the six months when he was away, not only did no trouble occur, but with the help of the Star Army, the Blackbird Heavy Industry was completely wiped out and the war of unification was won.
This proves that the alliance system established by Gu Hang is still quite reliable and can continue to operate even without him.
But he still has a sense of crisis.
It is never a good thing for a ruler to be away from his ruling center for a long time.
He was planning to return to the Angry Owl Star.
Before, it would have been difficult for Gu Hang to go back.
But now, there is a solution.
Gu Hang went to find an acquaintance: Zhang Guangen.
He is an A-level psychic and the chief mage of the Star Mage Hall of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain Psychic Order. He is also a senior member of the Mage Council of the Eastern Universe Domain Psychic Order. He represents both the Universe Domain Government and the Star Domain Government and has a considerable say in the current investigation team.
Gu Hang had a very good relationship with him during these few months.
