Chapter 394: 184 Small Nations and the Intelligent Mechanical Crisis_2

"Okay, boss... 026 is currently with the Dark Star One supply ship and the Feinan, near a barren planet close to the Cas Federation. They can reach the target Administrative Star within three Galaxy Time hours."

Yang Ming smiled, "A precise prediction."

Lyu spoke seriously, "You wouldn’t neglect your first officer. This is something Lyu can confirm. You are actually grateful to First Officer Kolev since he gave you your first ship, which was the foundation of everything."

"No, no, no, regarding personal matters, Kolev and I have settled everything," Yang Ming snapped his fingers, "Actually, I am more concerned about Mimili."

Lyu smiled without speaking, and his figure disappeared at the side, focusing on the Thought Space.

Although the development level of the Cas Federation was not much different from a few years ago with the Luofeng Empire, and Lyu had achieved a leap in the performance of the ship’s main brain, it was still a nation.

Lyu put in full effort.

Yang Ming, having some time to spare, browsed the network of the Cas Federation.

It was strange. If an Intelligent Mechanical Crisis had broken out there, the Cas Federation’s first response should have been seeking external aid. According to international agreements, there would be a large armed force coming to support.

Why did the Cas Federation want to block the news?

Moreover...

Old Kolev really had no patience.

Lyu had already told him he was about to "finish up." He couldn’t wait for half a month and had to go there to take risks.

Why does this old man not just enjoy his wealthy life and instead work so hard?

Moreover, when comparing the assets of the Cas Federation with the current chemical industry giant of the Luofeng Empire, isn’t it clear which is more valuable?

Yang Ming closed his eyes, trying to maintain a calm mindset.

Beside him, the blonde singer with big waves in her hair was still singing a ballad, while the starlight rapidly flashed by outside the window. The East Wind was traveling at full speed during the intervals of continuous jumps.

About half an hour later, Lyu brought several segments of classified video.

...

The first video showed a group of military and political leaders from the Cas Federation gathered for an emergency meeting, with half of them participating through video projection.

The president of the Cas Federation, an elderly woman with graying hair and sagging skin, listened wearily to the report beside her.

"Madam, it is confirmed that an Intelligent Mechanical Crisis has broken out in these two cities.

"Especially in Nongka City, vast areas of the city have already been controlled by robots... According to our detailed investigation, it was during the mobilization of two mechanical reinforcement camps by the military that they suddenly lost control, landed in Nongka City, and controlled two-thirds of the Mechanical Guards, killing their human teammates and infecting robots throughout the city with a special electronic virus.

"Our proud robot industry has led to robots being found everywhere. This robot virus has spread very quickly, and the interior of the city is now out of control.

"It has already been confirmed that about one-tenth of the residents have been taken hostage by the robots.

"They are trapped in buildings, and satellite signals have been completely jammed... using our military’s jamming technology, those two reinforcement camps are the best of the best."

The president frowned and glanced at the few old generals beside her.

An old general furrowed his brows and said, "Our core industry is the robot industry. Adding mechanical reinforcement camps to the military was to reduce military spending and potential compensation payments as a path to strengthen military power."

The president said, "Can you guarantee now that the other twenty mechanical reinforcement camps won’t go wrong?"

A general immediately replied, "The virus can spread through the network, so we isolated them from the network as soon as possible and shut them down, removing their batteries."

A middle-aged officer in the back raised a hand to speak, "According to the investigation, the origin of the virus is Nongka City itself."

"What do you mean?"

"The virus did not come from the military, but rather from the robot parts manufacturing factory in Nongka City. It was loaded into the power chips, bypassed formatting and strict inspections, and was finally assembled into the Mechanical Guards."

The officer stated firmly,

"I think, the focus now should not be on shirking responsibility but on finding a resolution.

"This may have the shadow of an international crime organization or could be a problem inherently generated by the Intelligent Machines. We can only investigate afterward.

"The decision now must be to evacuate the people engulfed in panic, keeping them as far away from this medium-sized city as possible."

The finance minister asked, "What about the electronic devices they carry that might spread the virus?"

"Then tell them to leave all their devices behind for inspection, for instance, even stripping."

A politician said, "Doing so will attract investigations from human rights organizations. If it escalates, half of us here will have to resign in disgrace."

"Then use some instruments to scan them."

The officer said, "The virus managed to evade the military’s strictest inspections, so ordinary checks are ineffective."

"Then send our soldiers in to exterminate those robots!"

"They control millions of hostages."

"Oh, my God!"

The president grimly held her head,

"We should call for international aid and request the fleet of the New Federation to bring more advanced equipment to deal with these rampant robots."

"Madam, according to international agreements, we would need to pay a huge commission to any incoming fleets, and also accept a ten-year Intelligent Machine supervision, which would ruin our hard-fought economic and high-end industry recovery."

"Moreover, madam, the New Federation is struggling itself, being oppressed by the Sherman Empire, and won’t bother with a remote small country like us."
