Upon hearing Ansen's answer, Han Ling quickly considered countermeasures.
They were still careless.
They all knew that something was going to happen at the Science and Technology City Conference, but they all thought that the AIs would only start acting after the competition in the Science and Technology City ended.
Now it's clear that this isn't the case.
Before the competition even began, these AIs had already traveled to different star systems in the same spaceships they had come in.
The energy resources they brought didn't need to be unloaded; they were taken directly as the AI's reserve energy.
According to the Wu tribe, the reason why the Tech City launched an attack on the intelligent races was because they had a strong hatred for intelligent beings and were tired of their current lives, which led them to begin the act of destroying the world.
But reality told Han Ling that the reason the Science and Technology City launched the war was because it wanted to take over.
Whether it's the city of Science and Technology, the advertisements in the city, or the bio-plasma cell technology developed in Science and Technology City.
All of this reveals that the Science and Technology City has been preparing for a long time to replace intelligent life forms.
This science and technology city conference is just an opportunity.
Before the competition begins, the AI of the Tech City will pilot warships to various star systems, and then manipulate all the technological equipment in the star system to carry out inhumane extermination of the intelligent life in that star system.
If intelligent beings lose the ability to manipulate technological equipment, it's tantamount to losing their interstellar base.
The AI in the tech city can control warships and cannons to raze the entire planet to the ground.
One barrage of artillery fire after another targeted ground-based nuclear facilities, chemical plants, dams, roads, and other infrastructure.
Those who are unaware of the truth will panic and cause the apocalypse to begin prematurely.
Perhaps intelligent life will fight each other, just to compete for the last resources.
Or perhaps, the AI doesn't give them the chance to kill each other, and simply slaughters all intelligent beings.
By the time the competition ended, three days had passed. Some things, once started, are hard to stop.
The elites of various races who were dispatched to the Science and Technology City, unable to return to the star field because they had lost their warships, discovered the Science and Technology City's conspiracy, but it was too late.
The science city floats in space, devoid of plants, food, and oxygen.
At that time, the vast majority of the contestants will be worn down and die here.
As for who wins the championship at the Science and Technology City Conference, or what kind of advanced technology they acquire, it becomes unimportant, because it was all just a facade.
When things finally came to an end, everything settled down.
After the intelligent race is wiped out, the Tech City will implement its final plan.
That is to use the genetic information collected inside the warship to unlock the treasure trove of various intelligent races—the mainframe.
Those who are able to reach the Science City to participate in the competition must hold extremely high power within their race. Their personal information is enough to make those disobedient masterminds act according to the pre-set program and reveal secrets.
From that moment on, the entire universe was taken over by the AI of the Tech City.
Bioelectroplatin cell technology allows robots to disguise themselves as different intelligent races.
They will live in their original star system.
Once a new interstellar race enters the interstellar age, it will be immediately annihilated by robots.
Han Ling seemed to have also seen the future predicted by the Wu tribe, and couldn't help but shudder.
He had a feeling that technological creations were still exploring the true nature of the universe.
The only difference is the direction.
The AI in the science and technology city has stopped studying the limits of the universe and started studying the reasons for the birth of intelligent life!
As for the AI in the Science and Technology City, Han Ling thought of two reasons why it didn't take action against the participants.
The first reason is that they don't want to waste time or resources.
Secondly, once the two sides start fighting, some traces of the battle will inevitably be left behind. If the battlefield is not cleared in time, the races that arrive later may see this situation and simply turn their warships around and leave.
After weighing the pros and cons, Roderick and Han Ling finally saw such a peaceful science and technology city.
Han Ling's brain was working at high speed, and within a few minutes, she had almost figured out the problem.
With the outcome given by the Wu clan, we have the starting scene we just saw.
With a little calculation, he could guess most of what had happened.
Han Ling finally understood why Li Xun of the Wu tribe had been emphasizing that it was the Yao tribe that had turned the tide of the battle.
If I'm not mistaken, only the Yao Clan can use mental energy tendrils to quickly construct spatial teleportation channels, allowing them to travel rapidly between planets and save intelligent races on the verge of extinction even after severing their quantum computer connections.
Thinking of this, Han Ling shook his head again, quickly rejecting this reason.
Among intelligent races, there are probably quite a few who excel in the realm of mental power.
Although some races may not have the same level of mental strength as the Yao Clan, they are certainly not far behind, and constructing a mental energy channel is definitely within their capabilities.
So, what exactly are the advantages of the Yao Clan?
Unable to figure out the reason, Han Ling became somewhat anxious.
His emotions reached Roderick.
Roderick stopped talking to Anson and looked at Han Ling.
From the moment he left, Lord Han Ling had been wearing a thoughtful expression.
It must have been something they discovered while using their mental power to investigate.
However, since Anson was still beside them and Lord Han Ling didn't say anything, Roderick didn't ask either.
However, just as Roderick was about to continue his conversation with Anson to elicit information, Han Ling suddenly spoke up.
"Roderick, do it."
"Pfft!"
Before anyone could react, Roderick made his move, just as Han Ling finished speaking.
At this moment, he was the sharpest knife, ready to obey Han Ling's orders at any time.
Just moments ago, Roderick was chatting and laughing with Anson, but now, before a breath has passed, he has reached out and delivered a merciless punch that pierces Anson's chest.
Roderick's tough and powerful body allowed his palm to pierce through Anson's steel body. After grasping something like a wire, he unhesitatingly pulled and rotated his wrist, unleashing a burst of force that directly caused cracks in the rigid metal.
With a single, decisive strike from his right hand, his left hand followed closely, launching a second attack that gripped Anson's neck. The next second, with a crack, Anson's neck shattered.
In less than a breath, Anson in front of Roderick was torn to pieces, revealing the bioplasma cells he had mentioned beneath the damaged skin.
The thin film encapsulates some liquid, forming cell-sized particles that are tightly packed on the surface of the machine's steel, just like real cells.
Even though some cells are damaged, a slight current is still generating electrical signals that travel through the steel surface.
Inevitably, some orange battery fluid remained on Roderick's arm.
Let us drink from the golden cup together, for the blades of the sword will not spare us.
Roderick was never a kind man, nor did he ever show mercy to his enemies.
Sympathizing with the enemy puts you in danger, which is a major taboo under any circumstances.
After confirming that Anson was incapacitated, before the other mechanical beings could react while waiting for feedback, Roderick and the female insects of Emperor Planet made their move.
The best defense is offense.
They also have to protect the defenseless male insects; the best defense is to eliminate all the enemies before they can react.
For a moment, the sound of hissing sparks could be heard continuously inside the aircraft.
When Roderick and his men stopped, Anson and the mechanical beings in gray military uniforms had already turned into electronic waste scattered all over the ground.
Just then, the aircraft stopped as well, and a warning sound rang out.
[We have arrived at our destination. Passengers, please disembark in an orderly manner.]
The next second, however, the mechanical voice turned into Anson's voice.
"You will pay the price for these actions!"
Anson's voice was cold and harsh, but it lacked the surprise and anger that should have been there.
Han Ling sneered:
"You can never grasp the correct emotions of intelligent beings, you stupid robot."
Logically, the cabin door should open after the aircraft's warning sound is heard.
But for some unknown reason, Anson did not open the door of the aircraft.
Roderick frowned, pulled Han Ling to the edge of the wall, and with a sudden, unexpected punch, pierced through the thick metal shell of the aircraft.
Then Roderick mustered his strength, stretched out his hands powerfully, and pulled them sharply to both sides.
With a "ripping" sound.
The metal casing was torn apart.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep..."
It appeared to be under attack, and the aircraft's alarm immediately went off.
As soon as everyone left the aircraft through the rift, they saw that they were surrounded by all sorts of "people".
These "people" are all, without exception, human beings with two hands and two feet.
Only the details are different.
It seems they are an intelligent cosmic race within the settlement.
These intelligent races looked at Roderick warily.
Through the cracks in the aircraft, they could see the horrific scene inside.
"What race are you? Why are you attacking the mechanical beings in the Tech City?"
Upon hearing this, Roderick looked down at Han Ling, whom he was holding in his arms.
He was just following orders and didn't actually know why Lord Han Ling had asked him to do it.
Han Ling withstood the gazes of everyone and said in a deep voice:
"The AI of the Tech City wants to exterminate all intelligent races. I just saw with my own eyes someone piloting one of our Zerg warships and leaving through a wormhole."
