Counterfeit Hero

Trifland Galaxy, Al-Aqsa Airport 3.

As a siren blared, the bustling Allied officers and soldiers turned around and saw a convoy of five military flying vehicles and thirty military mechas speeding past the urgently cleared streets. After passing through several automatically opened warning posts, they drove quickly into the tightly guarded core area.

After the motorcade passed by, the open sentry barrier was immediately closed. The faces of the guard sentries returned to their usual cold and serious expressions, supervising the Allied officers and soldiers queuing up at the door to enter the core area to verify access permissions on the identity system, even several Allied generals were no exception.

The convoy's sirens disappeared deep into the core area. After people looked at each other in surprise or whispered about the identities of the passengers in the convoy that could go straight to the core area, order gradually returned to order. They jump on the rail car or quickly walk on the automatic conveyor belt, rushing to their respective destinations.

Standing on the tense and busy street, I raised my head and saw the stars still shining brightly outside the blue isolation barrier over the port.

Countless Fei Alliance warships dragged their long ion light tails and slid past overhead in an endless stream. Bright lighthouses and giant advertising screens float silently, stretching to the far end of the channel. From above, the huge blue-white sphere of the Al-Aqsa immigrant planet came towards us.

The planet was shrouded in white clouds, the clouds were rolling, and streaks of electric light were meandering around. Shuttles and spaceships entering and exiting the atmosphere are like crucian carp crossing a river. From time to time, several space fighters can be seen emerging from the clouds, rolling and turning neatly in the air, and shooting towards the fleet floating in space.

As West York approaches the Pale system, the entire Tryfland system has become a busy and tense military camp. Every day, countless supplies and warships gather here, and countless light messages or radio waves fly into the vast universe, sending instructions to the entire Fei League.

Here is the heart of Feimeng, beating rapidly.

When nearly 300 *-class fleets from the West were attacking the jump point day and night, and when the Al-Aqsa Fortress, which was originally staying in the outer space orbit of Al-Aqsa, was forced to start fighting in the airspace of the jump point, the entire Fiji League had Stimulated by the crisis of life and death, it started running crazy.

The battle at the jump point was brutal. It is said that the entire airspace has been blocked by the wreckage of the battleship.

On several occasions, the West York fleet almost breached the jump point. The Allies only relied on the solidity of the fortress and the powerful power of the fortress artillery and launched a desperate counterattack to drive the enemy out.

For several days, the void there had never stopped shining. Even though the spaceships passing by the channel outside the war zone are far away, they can still see the criss-crossing energy cannon light like a meteor shower, and they can also see the huge light clusters generated by the explosions of the warships expanding and spreading rapidly.

The void of the universe cannot carry sound. However, the continuous light was more thrilling than any gunshots and screams. It was a silent black hole where people were fighting in silence. Every minute and every second, countless Fiji soldiers died, and countless Fiji warships were reduced to ashes.

No one knows how long the Allied forces can resist, nor when they will rush into the endless flash of light. To meet an ending where there is almost no possibility other than death. Everyone just knew that when the military god Hastings left his retreating figure in the cannon light at the jumping point, everything could only be done by oneself.

Compared with the turbulent and indignant people of various countries, the officers and soldiers of the Allied fleet stationed in Al-Aqsa seemed much calmer about Hastings' decision.

Perhaps it was due to the constraints of military discipline, or perhaps it was because as a soldier, he had already repeatedly thought about the various situations after the seriously ill Hastings left. Therefore, when the news came that Hastings refused to return to aid and led the coalition fleet south. After that, Al-Aqsa Fortress did not make any waves.

Moreover, under the crazy attack of the West York fleet, everyone had no time to think. The soldiers on the front line were busy fighting, while the officers and soldiers in the rear were busy gathering, busy dispatching supplies, busy repairing damaged ships, and busy rescuing the wounded. Everyone is working hard every day when they open their eyes.

They don't have time to stop. Because they have to use forty *-level fleets to withstand the attack of more than two hundred fleets gathered in the Pale system by Xio

Perhaps things must be reversed. When everyone is in despair, the current Fimen League always brings surprises to everyone.

First of all, the leaders of the major member states of the Fifa League have announced after the emergency meeting to increase the dispatch of reinforcements and the mobilization of materials.

The armies of the Feyan Republic, the Chakna Republic, and the Siliyak Federation are urgently gathering, and allied fleets from other war zones are also sailing to Triflaland day and night. Many countries have even reduced their military reserves to a dangerous level. .

According to the calculations of the Allied Command, as long as the defenders of Al-Aqsa Fortress can hold on until a week later, the Allied fleet can be increased to eighty. Within twenty days, the Allied fleet can be increased to 150

In addition, everyone discovered that with the completion of Skynet's upgrade and transformation, without realizing it, the work efficiency of themselves and everyone around them has improved a lot compared to before.

This improvement is visible to the naked eye.

For example, the tedious replenishment work of the group fleet that originally took a week to complete can now be completed by simply entering the number of items that need to be replenished, and the system can automatically complete and provide feedback. If there happens to be no needed supplies in the warehouse, the system will even give the specific arrival time of the transport ship that is still on the way, and complete the supply as soon as the ship arrives.

If there are none on the road, then the system can also help you find substitutes for this material, or help you find the nearest supply source or even the production company and product offline time, and help you complete the purchase, funding, and transportation capacity. Waiting for a series of applications and transfer arrangements.

The logistics department, which had been so busy before the Allied forces moved south, was now extremely idle amid the arrival of a large number of supplies and fleet supply requests like snowflakes. Even the maintenance department, which cannot be lazy in its work, only needs to work according to the intelligent detection data and task list provided by the Skynet system. There is absolutely no need to worry about finding faults and indiscriminate work arrangements.

Also feeling all these changes are the personnel, intelligence, finance and other departments.

To find someone through Skynet, it can definitely deliver the person you want to you in the shortest possible time. Under its powerful influence, everyone knows when they should take which means of transportation and which route to get to where they should be.

As for the biographical information of the people who need to be investigated, it is not a problem. If necessary, Skynet can even expose everything about this person from birth to the present to you, of course, provided that you have sufficient permissions.

The same is true for intelligence processing. Important intelligence is always at the top of the intelligence service's agenda. If you think that there may be no important information buried in the files below with only one or two stars, then you will only waste your own time.

Of all the departments, the ones who feel this the most and are the most important are naturally the current combat units.

The officers and soldiers on the fleet found that the optimized command and coordination system became faster and more efficient than before. Whether it is manual command transmission or automatic command transmission, it is surprisingly fast. The efficiency of power transmission between the power compartment and the main gun compartment has been improved, and the fire control system has become more precise. The electronic soldiers were able to increase the electronic attack firepower to a level never dreamed of before in a very short period of time.

There is even a main control pilot claiming that he can drive a battleship to play football after Skynet is upgraded. When entering the port in the future, there will be no need to control the automatic tractor at all. With the assistance of Skynet, the warship can accurately dock at the dock with a distance of one millimeter.

This change is everywhere.

Whether it is the Fiji coalition forces in Al-Aqsa or the allied fleets on the waterway, transport fleets, or even pedestrians walking on the street, customers standing in front of automatic coffee vending machines and frowning people sitting in offices The worried factory owners all found that life became so easy.

Skynet, which had just completed its upgrade, seemed to come to life.

...........

...........

The motorcade roared into the core area of ​​the Third Airport and stopped in front of the gate of a huge metal building shaped like an eggshell.

Under the escort of heavily armed guards, thirteen masked men wearing special masks quickly walked into the door of the metal building. The entire process from getting off the car to entering the door to closing the door takes no more than five seconds.

If you look down from the air at this moment, you can see that the entire core area centered on the metal building is under martial law. Whether on the roof of the building or on the street, there are guards with serious expressions and stern eyes, patrolling mechas and low-altitude port monitors everywhere.

The guards who escorted the thirteen people into the building stopped in front of the automatic door of the first security area, and were replaced by the second group of guards. When they reached the next automatic door, they were replaced by the third group of guards.

Repeatedly. When the thirteen people wearing special masks walked to the door of the last safe area, the guards guarding them had changed five times.

The automatic door of the safe area opened, and thirteen people filed in. But this time, while the guard remained behind the closed automatic door, no new guard took over. Appearing in front of them was a Feiyang soldier who was also wearing a mask and military uniform, but without any markings on his body. .

"Please come with me." The soldier waiting in the safe area bowed slightly and made an invitation gesture, and the automatic door opposite opened.

Bright light penetrated through the increasingly larger cracks in the door, illuminating the thirteen masked men in the safe area.

They stepped out of the automatic doors in the light. Looking around, a huge oval hall with a height of two hundred meters and a length and width of more than one thousand meters appeared in front of us. Compared with this huge room, the automatic door behind him is like a mouse hole in the corner of an opera house.

Entering the hall, everyone immediately saw a floating space battleship on the central circular platform.

It was a battleship made of an unknown metal material that looked like mercury, completely black, and shaped like a tadpole.

Unlike ordinary battleships, there are almost no portholes on its hull, no bridge, and no exposed main thrusters or electronic instrument peripherals commonly seen on modern battleships. It floats quietly in the circular suspended dock, and every line on its body is extremely smooth and graceful.

Thirteen masked men were quickly captured by this shocking battleship. They walked towards the battleship involuntarily. The closer they get, the higher their heads rise.

"Everyone can take off the mask now. There is no one else here except us." When the masked people walked under the battleship, the soldier took off the mask first, revealing a mature and steady smile of about forty years old. Face: "Let me introduce myself. I am the captain of this [Ghost] spaceship. My name is Zhou Wu. I belong to the Third Special Fleet of the Double-Headed Eagle of the Space Navy of the Feiyang Republic, with the rank of Lieutenant General."

The thirteen masked men looked at each other and took off their masks one after another. Showing a somewhat reserved face.

There are nine men and four women, the oldest is already gray on the temples, and the youngest is over thirty years old. Everyone seems to be polite and helpless.

"Professor Hu Ge," Lieutenant General Zhou Wu stretched out his hand, shook hands with the leading old man, and said enthusiastically: "Welcome to your arrival."

"This ship is called Ghost?" Professor Hu Ge, who had a gray beard and only one ring of hair left, shook hands with Zhou Wu, turned to look at the black battleship, and asked.

"Yes. Ghost." Zhou Wu nodded, "The entire Feiyang... no, I should say the only ghost in the entire universe."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the battleship lovingly and said: "Not only does it have more than twice the speed of a high-speed destroyer, it also has extremely strong anti-radar capabilities. Coupled with the life system and energy system specially designed for this mission, we You can go three years without supplies.”

"So, we have to live on this spaceship for three years?" Professor Hu Ge murmured as he looked at the spacecraft.

Zhou Wu did not answer. The others who arrived with Hu Ge didn't say anything either. People still holding their own masks stood silently under the suspended black battleship. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn.

They are supercomputers and Skynet system experts from different member states of the FiC. At the same time, he is also an engineer for the Fei Alliance's joint Skynet transformation work, and a member of the core working group of the Fei Alliance's most secret "Master God" plan.

More than a month ago, they, who were originally researchers at their respective national laboratories, professors at colleges, or were doing some secret work serving the military, received an order requiring them to rush to Heidfield, the capital of Feiyang, together with more than 200 other experts. Participate in the maintenance and upgrade of Fimen Alliance Skynet.

This job is not new to them.

As experts from various countries who hold S-level permissions, receive special allowances and enjoy military secret protection, they rush to Heidfield, the capital of Feiyang, from time to time almost every year to carry out the same work. Among them, the longest participation period has been more than thirty-five years, and the shortest one has been more than three years.

Therefore, after receiving the order, they did not hesitate at all and took the military's special airship to Heidfield with only a small amount of luggage.

However, it was not until they arrived at their destination that the experts discovered that this work was a little different from usual.

They no longer work together in groups and teams as they once did. Instead, they are separated individually, and each person is responsible for a piece of work. Moreover, during the entire process of their individual work, they must also undergo individual interviews and assessments through various questionnaires.

Since this Skynet upgrade is to transplant the Skynet core control system from the original supercomputer to another new, more powerful supercomputer, it is not surprising to everyone. After all, for such an important project, working alone or making inquiries falls within the normal scope of confidentiality and countermeasures. .

However, everyone was a little bit dissatisfied that they could only work through the workbench in the room and could not see the new generation central computer.

The work progressed quickly. In just two weeks, this huge and voluminous project has come to an end. At this time, hundreds of engineers began to leave one after another and return to their original units. No one knows who the other people are, what they are responsible for, or whether they have left.

Therefore, no one knew that thirteen people were chosen to stay.

The hall was silent.

The thirteen people who were selected to stay were standing in the hall at the moment, looking up at the battleship.

Only they know that the new generation of Fimen Skynet core computer is in the black battleship in front of them. Only they understand that the entire Skynet upgrade plan is just a component of a top-secret plan that even the Fei League headquarters has no right to access, and even a single document cannot be found in the system.

The real plan is called - The Wandering Lord God

The Lord God is not the central computer whose performance is so powerful that all scientists are amazed by it. It is an intelligent life that appears for the first time in the process of human civilization that has lasted for tens of thousands of years. It has an inalienable and non-replicable independent personality, and the thirteen people who remained are even willing to go into self-exile in order to keep its secrets.

No one knows how the remaining thirteen scientists felt when they finally came into contact with this secret.

Shocked, excited, honored, unbelievable...it's a mixture of emotions

From that moment on, they will execute the last part of the entire plan alone - complete the final connection of Skynet, and accompany the Lord God to wander in the vast starry sky within the Feiyang Republic, hiding in places that neither enemies nor allies can find. into the void.

When everyone thought that Fimen's central computer was a stand-in computer in Heidfield, no one would have imagined that a real god was in the universe looking down on the human world.

In the silence, Professor Hu Ge said to himself: "The day before yesterday, we completed the entry of the Lord God. From that moment on, our Skynet system has come to life."

"I was standing on the balcony of the building at the Allied base."

His eyes flickered, as if he had returned to the time when he was narrating. His voice echoed in the empty hall, with the piety of a church pastor praying.

"I saw the operational staff who didn't know what was going on excitedly gathered in front of the Skynet console. Some were dancing and some were high-fiving each other."

"Some people say that the battle in the jump point airspace was the first time in electronic warfare to suppress an opponent with an absolute advantage in electronic warfare due to the upgrade of Skynet. Others said that the attack frequency of the fortress artillery was accelerated by 30%, and the enemy was defeated by us. The fortress was reduced to ashes."

"Some people also told me that the commanders of several fleets relied on more efficient command and coordination systems during the battle, leading the fleets to complete tactical coordination faster than the prescribed time, and achieved brilliant results."

"Then I went to the logistics department, the intelligence center, and the liaison offices of allied countries to evaluate our Skynet. Although I only had a short day yesterday, what I heard was cheers one after another. The excited chatter is the praise that makes people blush.”

"I'm not blushing," Hu Ge turned around and smiled: "This is just the beginning."

The scientists smiled at each other. As Professor Hu Ge's companions, no one can understand the pride and pride in Hu Ge's words better than them.

"Let's go" Professor Hu Ge turned around and couldn't wait to walk up the suspended ladder that the battleship lowered to the ground: "We are the thirteen believers and servants of the Lord God. For what I heard and saw, let alone three years, even if it takes the rest of my life, I am willing to stay in this battleship forever."

One by one, the scientists stepped onto the battleship's suspended ladder.

Zhou Wu came to the end.

Looking at the scholars who were boarding the ship one after another and willing to self-exile for their scientific beliefs, their ideals, and their country, his eyes were filled with sincere admiration.

"Get ready to go" Zhou Wu finally walked into the spacecraft and gave the order loudly.

The cabin door of the spacecraft began to close, and the high dome of the hall was slowly opening. A ray of bright sunshine shone down, so bright in the slowly narrowing crack in the door.

"Goodbye, Marshal," Zhou Wu said silently.

.....................................

.....................................

"Are they setting off?" Hastings put down the documents in his hands and looked up from behind his desk.

Admiral McKinley walked into the room, closed the door, and nodded. .

Hastings was silent, and the wheelchair he sat on moved his body's center of gravity slightly backwards, turned around, and headed towards the giant star map on the wall on the side of the office.

The wheelchair stopped in front of the star map. The old man's raised face became a little blurry in the light of the interstellar map with dense light spots and criss-crossing routes. But those deep and wise eyes were still astonishingly bright among the shining stars.

"A spaceship with one hundred and fourteen people sailing alone in the universe. There is no destination and no time to return." The old man let out a long sigh: "This kind of exile is a cruel torture."

"I heard that Lieutenant General Zhou Wu was once your orderly?" McKinley walked to the old man's side.

"Yes." Hastings nodded: "Twenty years ago, he stayed in my office guard. Later, he was admitted to the military academy and walked step by step to where he is now."

"Maybe it won't be long before the war is over." McKinley said with a smile.

Hastings stared at the star map for a long time, then turned and headed towards the desk: "How about Li Fu?"

"He has already met with President Ian Carter and Minister of Defense Marshall of the Lane Republic, but there is no further news yet." McKinley turned around, "The people's voice is very high. He should be waiting for President Zhao Xi and Chuck now." President Hill’s voice.”

"He'll wait," Hastings opened the file and continued working at his desk. He said calmly: "That was an equally lonely journey."
