Chapter 1546: Trojan Horse

Ever since joining the army, Yang Yi had participated in hundreds of exercises. He felt that he could be regarded as someone who had seen the world.

However, at this moment, he was shocked by everything in front of him.

The liquid metal was like a living liquid, forming a hemispherical shield in front of the robot.

Bullets from all directions hit the spherical shield. They had no effect except for producing a string of sparks.

Although he couldn’t take a closer look, from what he could see, the gunfire rain didn’t even leave a trace of scratches on the shield.

There was only one thing he was curious about, which was, what material was this robot made of?

After gulping, Yang Yi moved his right eye away from the sight. Staring at the battlefield that had become a one-sided massacre, he asked with a trembling voice, “Is this… even human?”

Standing next to him, another soldier said with difficulty.

“Obviously not…”

“I still don’t quite understand… If it is a robot, why should it help us? And those people are obviously human… but they stand on the opposite side of us.”

“It depends on how you define a robot.”

Lu Zhou continued to speak, looking at the stunned people.

“As for the enemies standing in front of you at this moment, they were never your brothers. They were just spies inserted by the rebels. They were prepared to betray from the beginning. Similar people exist throughout Pan-Asia, and there are many more in the world. To be honest, it is basically impossible to distinguish a person with a computer chip brain implant from a person with a computer chip as a brain.”

The moment they heard these words, everyone held their breath in unison.

Computer chip as a brain…

Doesn’t that mean that there is no difference in the physiological structure between robots and humans?! How to distinguish the two?!

Thinking of the possibility that even the high-level Pan-Asian Cooperation could be controlled, Yang Yi felt a shudder in his heart.

“We can’t do anything?”

“I’m trying my best right now.” Lu Zhou squinted his eyes as he looked at the space in front of the smoke filled with gunpowder, he continued, “We may be the last chance… The robot is a small problem, the virus is not even a big problem. But if we fail here, we won’t get another chance.

“You can understand the flesh and blood of the chip manipulators as a higher-level existence than the robots. They have mastered mind writing technology and can upload one’s memory to hardware, to maintain the existence of the memory.

“But there is a fatal weakness here. They are only touching the technical edge of intermediate artificial intelligence. They are still a step away from advanced artificial intelligence, which is, having emotions.

“And this quantum computer on Ceres was built for this.

“You can think of the supercomputer under our feet as a key. Only by possessing this key can they evolve from a thinking tool into a complete life in the true sense.

“Do you understand me?”

Yang Yi gulped and nodded slowly.

“Very good.” Lu Zhou nodded and continued, “Although I don’t have a military rank, from now on, you have to do what I say… If you still want to save our country and even our civilization.”

Yang Yi: “What do you need us to do?”

“Trojan Horse.”

Hearing this inexplicable statement, one of the soldiers couldn’t help but ask, “Trojan horse?”

“That’s right.” Lu Zhou nodded. He looked up at the ceiling and pointed upwards with his index finger as he said, “According to Academician Wang, the Yuheng command ship is the only ship that has a communication channel with the underground supercomputing center because his research team relied on the quantum computer processor on the command ship to help the quantum computer array underneath complete the forging of the ‘key’.”

“You mean… The target of those robot rebels is not the signal tower? It’s the Yuheng?”

The expression on Yang Yi’s face was full of complexity.

Before that, he believed that the rebels should only be at this base. As long as they successfully occupied the signal tower, the air and space forces floating in the sky would immediately send reinforcements to them once they realized the situation on the ground.

However, it now appeared that the situation was far worse than he thought.

Not only did they have no firepower reinforcements, but they might even face threats from the air…

After hearing Yang Yi’s words, Lu Zhou shook his head and continued, “Logically speaking, your conjecture is only half true. If I were those robots, I would prepare from both sides. I would attack the signal tower on Ceres and the command ship Yuheng in high orbit. As long as one of them succeeds, it is a win-win situation for them.”

“Then what should we do?” One of the soldiers couldn’t help but say, “Listen, you are Academician Lu, we are just a group of soldiers. Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but I’m not the brightest. Everyone says that you are the pinnacle of the human mind, and it appears to be true now… It’s not right to let you command us, but apart from you, I don’t know who to trust.”

“My opinion is the same as him.” Another soldier nodded and clenched the gun in his hand. “My family is on Earth… I don’t want the tragedy in Guanghan City to repeat itself in my hometown. No matter what. If there is a chance to go back alive, I hope to at least become the pride in their hearts.”

“Don’t show such a tragic expression, everything is still far from that point. If nothing else, my… assistant should have implanted the update program into the universal version of the robot system.”

Looking at the corpses in the corridor, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued, “As for the high-level bionics who have mixed in with us, I have prepared special graves for them.

“After occupying the signal tower, it will be blown up immediately. Then the remaining people will join me, take the shuttle, and occupy the Yuheng.”

After hearing Lu Zhou’s plan, Yang Yi was slightly stunned. His eyes gradually brightened.

“So you’re saying…”

“It is difficult to tell which is a robot from a group of people, but the reverse is also true.

“Pretending to be rebels, we will drive the Yuheng back. Like a Trojan horse. I will prepare a surprise for them.

“And you are the warriors among the Trojan horses.”

Looking around at the soldiers present, Lu Zhou continued, “I must say that, before we succeed, if the First Fleet returns and detects us, they will not even rule out the possibility that we are a threat.

“If anyone wants to stay, they can speak now.”

No one spoke.

At this moment, Yang Yi suddenly smiled heartily, broke the silence, and said, “We are all warriors… If you didn’t save me, I would already be dead. If that’s the case, it doesn’t hurt to die with you again.”

“Me too!”

“We’re not scared!”

“That’s right!”

“I just want to avenge those brothers who died!”

“I have no opinion on the plan, just a question.” One of the soldiers asked, “How do you ensure that the Trojan horse will be accepted by those advanced robots? If they are of higher intelligence than ordinary robots, won’t they be suspicious?”

“Because of the desire for evolution.” Lu Zhou continued, looking at the soldier who asked the question, “Before they have human feelings, even if they have the ability to think, they are like a walking corpse. They don’t know the concept of life and death.

“Just like people’s desire for immortality, no one will realize that they drank a bottle of poison in the name of eternal life.”

Lu Zhou’s mood was slightly complicated.

In fact, this was the truth.

Since coming to the world a hundred years later, he had felt that the friends around him were getting older one by one, and the new world was getting further and further away from him.

Especially after seeing Princess Lilia…

The little girl who he had seen a few months ago had a head full of gray hair.

Perhaps in another hundred years, this feeling of loneliness would become stronger, and to be honest, he himself was not mentally prepared to deal with it.

At this moment, two rays of scarlet light passed through the smoke-filled corridor.

Ling shook his blood-stained metal arm cleanly. The skin on top of his body had been completely destroyed, and he looked like a devil out of hell, returning to Lu Zhou with a hideous expression.

“The enemy’s target has been eliminated, and the communication tower has been overloaded and destroyed. Request next step.”

“Thanks, just follow me.”

Lu Zhou nodded at Ling. He then looked at the soldiers who were silent.

After a pause, he spoke in a serious tone.

“The communication tower has been destroyed and the enemy’s back path has been cut off. Now the command ship Yuheng is their only hope, as well as our only hope!

“The target is Yuheng!

“Let’s go!”
