Chapter 108 Observer
Chapter 108 Observer
The signals from all three underground cities were cut off, leaving the defending troops waiting on the surface completely bewildered.
"General Chang Weisi, this is the 713th ground defense position. Calling Chang Weisi, can you hear me?"
"Mr. Felix, what's the situation down there?"
"Headquarters, this is the 4th Division of the British Army. We have lost contact with the London Underground City and request PDC approval for the demolition team to bomb part of the bunker."
For a time, communication frequency bands in various countries were in chaos.
Although they had made ample preparations for the crisis, they were still caught off guard by this sudden accident.
"I am fine."
Just as the ground troops were at a loss, General Chang Weisi's voice came through the communication frequency.
"General, are you all right?"
"Everything is fine. It must be that the emergency device in the underground city was triggered, temporarily interrupting all signals. Don't worry, we are perfectly safe."
"Then... is there anything we need to do?"
"It's hard to say. I asked Lin Xuan before. This stress response program was probably built to prevent anyone from damaging the underground city. It's very difficult to break it from either the outside or the inside, and there's no manual deactivation program. You have to wait about 3 hours for it to freeze before you can open it from the inside."
"Okay... okay, then General, we'll cancel the alarm."
"Yes, expand the ground forces' defensive line further outwards, preferably outside of Los Angeles. This is a critical period, and it is most important to pay attention to enemies from outside."
"This... are we going to evacuate everything? What about all the fortifications we built in Los Angeles...?"
“If we send the clone army to oversee Los Angeles, the representatives from the island nation and the Russian bear won’t feel comfortable having you standing here.”
"Yes, sir!"
"The entire army's defensive line advances to outside the city; the clone army takes over the Los Angeles defenses!"
The same scene played out in London and New York City.
"Mr. Felix, can you hear me?"
"Stop yelling, you bunch of idiots, we've all been taken hostage," Felix's voice rang out on the communication band.
"Huh, what...what do you mean?"
“Radiaz is still alive. He planted a stellar-class hydrogen bomb in New York City, right beneath the city!”
“Fuck, how is this possible, sir? I’ll have the PDC troops come to reinforce you right away.”
"Are you an idiot? Do you want everyone to die here? I'm confronting him right now to buy you as much time as possible. Evacuate the people of New York City and the surrounding area now, quick!"
"Okay, sir, what will you do then?"
"Idiots, let the clone army take over your positions. Hurry up and evacuate all humans out of New York City, as far away as possible, otherwise we'll all be finished once the hydrogen bomb explodes."
"I understand, I'll do it right away."
A commotion broke out among the crowd. The ground troops quickly switched positions with the clone troops. Although they hadn't figured out the specific purpose of doing so, since their commander had given the order, they simply did as they were told.
The entire troop rotation process lasted about an hour and a half before the clone army took full control of the three cities.
During this period, all the units were constantly communicating with their superiors and repeatedly verifying information.
PDC was also shocked by this sudden accident, especially after hearing that Diaz was still alive, many people became suspicious of Lin Xuan.
After all, he was the one who executed Radiaz. Now that Radiaz is alive and there are problems in the three dungeons, it's hard not to think that Lin Xuan is up to something.
However, given his status as a Wallfacer, the lower-level officials couldn't say anything. When the higher-ups reported this possibility to the PDC, it was directly rejected by PDC Chairman Zhang Huaimin.
Meanwhile, within the world of Mewtwo.
After sending the last voice message, Cheng Xing let out a long sigh of relief.
All those communication messages were fabricated by her by imitating the voices and manner of speaking of those representatives, in order to have the clone army take over the defensive positions from the ground troops.
As an AI with a backup of Yun Tianming's consciousness, Cheng Xing was able to fabricate a complete story and outmaneuver all the ground troops that PDC had deployed in the three underground cities.
"The first phase of the work is now complete. Next... is the most exciting moment."
She found a stool, sat down, and leaned her back against the chair.
Then, he reached out and tapped the air, retrieving a document from the Mewtwo database.
That's all the patch data for the game Star Wars: Modern Warfare.
Whenever a player plays this game, their commands, routes, and even the firing angles of the soldiers are all recorded as data and stored in the Mewtwo database.
Then, Cheng Xing will use this massive amount of data to perform synchronous verification one by one, and through continuous confrontation with Radiaz, he will select the optimal solution.
Through years of continuous learning, Cheng Xing went from being unable to defeat Radiiaz at the beginning, to being able to stand on equal footing with Radiiaz, and finally even being able to defeat Radiiaz's command with a force difference of nearly 140 times.
Now, these parameters and data will be put into practical use.
Cheng Xing pressed the download button, and instantly, all the optimal solutions began to be downloaded from the data into its brain.
What would have taken Yun Tianming years or even decades to download, Cheng Xing accomplished in less than a minute.
"Now that we have the data, all that's missing is the army to be commanded."
……
London, inside the underground city.
Just as everyone was still thinking of ways to get out of there, nine of the twelve representatives suddenly raised their guns and aimed them at the crowd.
"Don't even move!"
"Everyone, put your hands behind your heads and squat down!"
Some of the journalists attending the meeting had never seen anything like this before, and were so frightened that they quickly did as they were told.
Only the representatives from the three countries represented by PDC were completely dumbfounded.
"What the hell is going on?"
"What kind of trouble are these nine people up to?"
But soon, the representative of the Willing Nation realized something was wrong.
"Fuck, you guys are from the three major fleets?"
After he said that, the representatives of the British Empire and the French suddenly realized what was going on.
Of the 12 representatives, apart from these three, the remaining nine were either representatives of other countries or held multiple positions in the European fleet.
Add to that the surrounding signal jamming devices, and you can guess what exactly happened once you put all these things together.
The three fleets are about to rebel!
The representative of the Willful Nation instinctively pressed the switch on his waist, the remote control for the Gabriel cannon attack, but as expected, the signal could not be transmitted at all due to the interference of the shielding device.
"The era of PDC rule is over, gentlemen. Now it is the era of Fleet International."
A fleet representative spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, the representative of the "Everlasting Sun" frowned slightly.
"William, do you know what you're doing? You're betraying your own country!"
William was the name of the fleet representative, a British citizen, who had been appointed captain of the Faraway, the only cruiser under construction in the European Fleet.
"My motherland? My motherland would be holding a cannon every day, aiming it at its own soldiers?"
"This is your duty as a soldier; you should fight for your country!" The representative of the British Empire still wanted to argue.
"Stop trying to morally blackmail me. I love my country, and that's why I don't want to see it ruined by the PDC."
“Mr. Brandon, if you were me, would you still continue to take orders from the PDC, from such an absurd organization?”
The French representative, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.
"Brandon, why waste your breath on him? Don't forget, there's a clone army in this dungeon. The advantage is on our side!"
"Clones, kill these traitors!"
As the French representative finished speaking, something unexpected happened.
The clone army, which had always obeyed the orders of the seven PDC nations, seemed to ignore his words and remained completely indifferent.
"A bunch of idiots, how come you let us down at this crucial moment?" the French representative shouted angrily at the clones.
"It seems Lin Xuan did something!"
"Impossible. These guys have all been imprinted with mind power, and I personally checked them before they came. It's impossible that they were controlled by Lin Xuan."
"Even if he were to imprint a new ideology onto the clones, he could never erase the PDC's original control over the clone army," the French representative said in disbelief.
“You’re right, Lin Xuan really can’t tamper with clones,” William sneered.
"Haven't you noticed something's wrong yet?"
"what?"
"Silence mechanism, do I need to remind you of all those things you've done? If all the remote controls of the seven nations' representatives are offline, Gabriel will automatically attack the home ports of the three fleets."
"But the silence mechanism hasn't been triggered yet. Haven't you figured out what happened?"
The three representatives were taken aback, and then they were all shocked!
"Zhang Huaimin!"
Five minutes ago...
China, Beijing:
Lin Xuan stepped into the conference hall, which was a branch of PDC in Beijing.
At this moment, the conference hall was empty except for one person sitting in the chairman's seat, Zhang Huaimin, who had been re-elected for countless terms.
He only spoke slowly after Lin Xuan entered the house.
"coming?"
"coming."
"Then let's get started."
"Aren't you going to say something? After all, this should be the last meeting of PDC," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"What's there to say? I knew this day would come."
Zhang Huaimin slowly stood up, straightened his black suit, and then picked up the document on the table.
"The Letter of Appointment for PDC Chairman hereby appoints Mr. Lin Xuan as Chairman of PDC, effective immediately. This concludes the appointment letter."
It's a very short sentence, but that's how official documents are: the fewer the words, the bigger the issue.
"Now, we invite representatives from all countries to begin the vote."
As soon as Zhang Huaimin finished speaking, an option button lit up on the tables of the representatives from the seven countries.
However, it was clear that the representatives of the seven countries could not attend the vote at this point, so Lin Xuan had to do it on their behalf.
Lin Xuan walked to the tables and helped the remaining six representatives make their choices, pressing the "agree" button.
The American representative: Agreed.
The sun never sets: Agreed.
Island nation representative: Agreed.
Representative of the Will: Agreed…
After pressing the buttons one by one and selecting "agree" for all six representatives, Zhang Huaimin on the stage also pressed his own "agree" button.
"Representative of China: Agreed."
"Buzz!"
Instantly, the news that Lin Xuan had become the sole chairman of PDC was synchronized to PDC's log archive.
"Kid, from now on, this world is in your hands."
As Zhang Huaimin spoke, he turned and walked off the stage, leaving the venue.
Watching Zhang Huaimin's retreating figure, Lin Xuan also let out a long sigh.
"Alright, now it's time to get down to business."
After obtaining the authority to serve as the rotating chair and representatives of the seven countries, Lin Xuan immediately revised the entire representative system of the PDC.
The number of PDC representatives has been changed to be limited to him alone, and all election procedures have been abolished. This means that if the normal process is followed, no one can currently revoke his sole chairmanship.
This was not without reason; after he completed the modifications to the PDC, all PDC members lost control of the clone army.
Lin Xuan couldn't tamper with the clones under their noses, so he directly changed the definition of PDC for these clones.
Apart from him, no one else is PDC; PDC only represents Lin Xuan.
This move not only stunned the three major fleets, but also surprised the Trisolarans who were observing everything.
"Is it possible to... play like this?"
The three fleets were collectively shocked, and the Trisolarans were equally shocked.
"This... truly befits an observer. His way of thinking is indeed extraordinary. He is far more powerful than the previous observers on Earth. We should be thankful that he is merely an observer, not our enemy."
"Science Governor, are you sure he really is an observer?"
"Yes, I wasn't sure before, but now I'm completely certain that he is an observer from that civilization."
"I don't understand."
“Military Governor, you were dehydrated at the time and were unaware of this information. I will transmit this information to you through my consciousness.”
That's one of the advantages of the Trisolarans: they can share any information directly, and transmitting memories is very convenient.
"I understand now. I can't believe that this planet evolved in this way."
"This is normal. This is all the information we have so far. We are quite excited about this. Earth is simply the perfect new home for us."
"But if, as you say, the observer's duty is to record the entire experiment, then if we wipe out the human species, will the observers judge us as a hostile civilization?"
"There's no need to worry about that. According to the information I received from Zhizi, there was a story in the history of humankind that tells of a person discovering a new land."
"In the story, a group of primitive human creatures originally lived on that land, but they were later slaughtered by newly arrived human creatures. The new human creatures occupied the land and established a new country there."
"Based on my speculation, the rules set by humans should allow the slaughter of the original races in the region. So even if we wipe out all the human races on Earth, as long as we call ourselves new humans, it should still be in line with the rules of human development. Such rules are also common in experiments on microbial culture. I think that's the case."
