Chapter 1433 Nitrogen Shield!

The congressman surnamed Wu didn't stay here for a long time, and left in a hurry after leaving those words behind.

After the news of the hijacking spread, there was already chaos outside, and he still had other messes to settle, so it was impossible to stay here for too long.

Also thanks to this.

The bureaucrats and parliamentarians of the Pan-Asian Cooperation can be regarded as good hands in economic development and colonial development, but in other respects it is good not to mess up the various departments.

Looking at Yang Wu who was standing beside him, the commander was silent for a while before speaking.

"Actually, I agree with part of your point of view. When the AI ​​battlefield analysis system was designed, its calculation results were only used as a strategic reference. It is not advisable to rely too much on the calculation results."

"In our time, machines were just assistance, and we believed in human judgment more than the answers given by machines," Yang Wu continued, looking at the commander standing beside him, "but I've also thought about this issue. It is progressing, and experience is always being updated. In practice, you have proved the statistical superiority of AI's judgment, and it is understandable that you will trust its judgment more."

The commander was silent for a while, then spoke.

"If you follow your experience, what do you think their demands might be."

Yang Wu replied without thinking.

"Sky boat."

"Tianzhou?" Unexpectedly, he would suddenly mention this, the commander frowned slightly, "You mean, they plan to..."

"This is not an attack based on survival. The fundamental logic of a suicide attack is to cause maximum damage. If I were a hijacker, I would not be satisfied with the 220 passengers on the spacecraft, let alone allow Flight N-177 passes through the Earth-Moon system, and I will drive it directly to the Tianzhou space station."

"At maximum speed!"

Hearing this crazy plan, everyone in the command center gasped.

Another consultant opened his mouth and said in a difficult tone.

"This is too..."

He wanted to say it was exaggerating.

Tianzhou is the largest space port for Pan-Asian cooperation, and it is also the first real space port in earth orbit. There are not only more than 30,000 residents, thousands of engineers, but also tens of thousands of tourists stranded there.

"And who exactly is responsible for this attack?"

"If there is support from other regional alliances behind this... this behavior is tantamount to a declaration of war!"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be other cross-regional alliances, maybe the air pirates that were funded by them, or the remnants that survived our suppression operations... But this is not the time to discuss these, what we need is countermeasures," the commander fell silent After a while, he looked at Yang Wu, "Do you have any suggestions?"

The moment he heard this question, Yang Wu said without thinking.

"Destroy flight N-177 before it causes more casualties!"

The moment this sentence was spoken.

Everyone standing in the command room gasped almost unanimously.

The consultant on the side even exclaimed.

"That's impossible! That's two hundred and twenty passengers! Are you trying to send us all to court-martial?!"

Yang Wu continued with an unchanged expression: "Compared to the lives of the 30,000 orbital residents and tens of thousands of stranded passengers on the Tianzhou, two hundred and twenty lives and being sent to a military court are nothing worth mentioning. Two Choose the lesser harm, I believe that even the AI ​​battlefield analysis system you trust will make a choice without hesitation."

After a pause, he looked at the commander standing beside him, and said calmly.

"Your Excellency, do you want to use the tens of thousands of lives on the Tianzhou to exchange the lives of the passengers on the N-177 flight for a decent death, or let those who are bound to die at the last moment of their lives, at least save some people who should not have died?" people who died here."

"This is human life, not addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!" The commander flatly rejected the proposal. The commander was silent for a while and continued, "First negotiate with the hijackers, and the negotiation window is set within 5 hours."

"Also, have the Celestial Defense System turn on the laser calibrator and stand by in lunar orbit."

"If a choice has to be made ... I hope it's the last choice."

"yes!"

After the order was issued, the entire command center became busy.

Looking at the keyhole for firing weapons on the console, the commander fell silent.

He had no doubt that Consultant Yang standing beside him would definitely make the right choice. They were sent into this age more like machines than machines.

It's not about courage anymore, it's about humanity.

...

In the darkness, the quiet pupils lit up with a dim light.

That faint light is so conspicuous in the pitch-black cabin, like a firefly in the dark night.

"Speed, abnormal."

"Judgement, failure."

This is the bionic rest cabin.

Like those bionics whose workmanship and style are mostly newer than it, it was sent here after boarding the flight.

If nothing else, it will stay here until the flight arrives.

However, its logic circuit and every sensor on its body are telling it that if it continues to wait, the meaning of its existence here may disappear.

Unplugging the charging cable on his body, the old-fashioned mining bionic man standing on the charging position walked to the computer next to him with stiff steps, and pointed his right index finger on it.

A holographic panel appeared in front of my eyes, and with the flashing of streams of data, the progress bar in the pop-up window came to an end bit by bit.

This cracking took a little longer.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long.

Looking at the man who appeared on the surveillance screen and picked up the rifle from the ground, the light in the pupil of the bionic man flickered slightly.

With its lips opening and closing, it spoke intermittently in a stiff voice.

"Protect, program, start..."

"Restriction, lift..."

The moment the voice fell, a starry light lit up in the pitch-black cabin.

All the bionics have been awakened...

...

Lu Zhou originally thought that although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs running, but he did not expect that the running pork was so different from the pork in the pot.

Well, he admitted that he did have a gamble.

And after a successful sneak attack by relying on the equipment advantage, he did underestimate the professionalism of these air pirates a little inflatedly.

Originally, according to his plan, he would first find a way to wake up the bionic bodyguard sent by Xiaoai, and then regain control of the cockpit.

However, just as he slipped out of the passenger cabin and groped toward the luggage compartment, he encountered a violent fire on the way.

Seeing the orange rain of bullets and the densely packed bullet holes on the alloy bulkheads on both sides, Lu Zhou, who was hiding behind the bunker, was terrified.

Fortunately, he opened the nitrogen shield in time, relying on the gushing airflow to help him bounce off the flying bullets, otherwise, even if he didn't become a sieve at this moment, he would still be missing arms and legs .

"...Did the direction of movement of diatomic molecules be changed through a special force field?"

"This shield is interesting. If you have a chance to study it--fuck...don't worry about it, let's think about how to survive!"

Seeing the ferocious firepower on the opposite side, Lu Zhou sadly found that he didn't even have the chance to probe back and fight back.

And if the shield is opened, although the opponent cannot penetrate his nitrogen shield, his magnetic slingshot cannot be pierced either.

As for the rifle...

This thing is like a fire stick in his hand.

Without the help of the exoskeleton armor that can grip the ground, let alone hit someone, if you don't want to be sent flying by the recoil, you can be called the king of soldiers.

What's more, he is a researcher?

He believed that if it was Wang Peng, he would be able to easily kill the opponent with this set of equipment. But I'm just a scholar after all, this extreme challenge is really too difficult!

The battle situation fell into anxiety for a while, and the two sides were in a stalemate in the corridor, and neither could do anything to the other.

Just when Lu Zhou felt a headache from the firepower on the opposite side, what he didn't know was that the two hijackers wearing exoskeleton armor on the opposite side felt no less headache than him.

Even, it was accompanied by strong surprise.

They've already emptied two magazines.

However, the person hiding behind the bunker seemed to be fine!

Changed the clips cursingly, and one of the hijackers who was hiding behind the bunker was so angry that he almost cursed his mother.

"Shet...why can't this guy hit no matter how hard he hits?"

Even if he is a master of human body outline, he shouldn't be so miserable, right? !

"There's something wrong with this guy. The bullets we fired seemed to hit a transparent wall. No matter what, we can only gamble!"

While talking, another hijacker pulled a thumb-thick grenade from the exoskeleton and stuffed it into the launcher under the muzzle.

The teammate next to him didn't have time to stop it, so he heard a blunt bang.

I saw a parabola smashing straight over, and the orange-red flame exploded, almost engulfing the entire corridor.

Climbing up from the ground in embarrassment, feeling the scorching air around him, the hijacker standing next to him looked at his companion in shock.

"Are you crazy?! Do you want to destroy this flight?! We're going to drive it to avenge our dead brothers—"

"Haha, but it's effective, isn't it?"

The billowing thick smoke had completely engulfed the second half of the corridor, and it was impossible to see whether the people there were alive or dead, but if it must have been such an explosion, no one should have survived.

As for the smoke and flames...

There is naturally a fire extinguishing system in the cabin to deal with it. As long as the structure of the cabin is not damaged, there is nothing to worry about.

However, before the words were finished, the hatch beside the two of them suddenly opened.

I saw those bionics who were kept in the room by the passengers, like puppets with no emotions, stepped out stiffly, and ran towards this side.

Seeing the crowd of "people" coming, the two hijackers were taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that something was wrong. While breaking out in a cold sweat, they quickly turned their guns and pulled the trigger.

The flames of the muzzle shot.

A series of orange-red ballistic trajectories wove an impenetrable rain of death in the air.

Metal parts were flying up and down in the air, broken arms and legs dancing with electric sparks were flying everywhere, and bionics fell down one after another like zombies being strafed.

"Protect……"

Repeating the same words in their mouths, these androids seemed to be dominated by some mysterious force, moving towards the two hijackers in exoskeleton armor at all costs.

With a broken leg, he crawled with his hands.

If the hand is broken, use the neck.

They don't stop as long as there are moving parts.

As if they would drag the two of them to hell even if they sacrificed themselves, they used the last inch of electricity in their bodies to drive the mechanical body to reach out to them.

"Shet! These guys... are so difficult!"

Cursingly, he threw out a butt of the gun, knocking the bionic man who rushed close to the ground, and then he stepped on the ground cleanly, breaking the hand that was reaching out to his ankle.

In addition to troubles, these civil-grade bionics were castrated at the beginning of their design, completely eliminating their ability to harm humans, so they could not threaten them who were armed to the teeth.

However, just when the two of them thought this way, they saw a rifle draw a parabola, crossed their heads, and smashed into the crowd of bionics.

A bad premonition flooded the hearts of the two of them.

Sure enough, as if confirming their guess, a bionic man reached out and caught the rifle.

"Fack!"

There were swearing words in unison, and the two hijackers wanted to raise the rifles in their hands in horror, but they couldn't do it at all. One by one, the mechanical hands entangled the arms of the two of them like vines, locked their joints and their movements, and even blocked the gun holes of the two with their chests and heads.

The muscles of the two hijackers tensed, they just watched the old-fashioned bionic man with a rusty chest, pointing their guns at them.

Then, pull the trigger!

"Da da da--!"

The sparks jumping from the muzzle of the gun hit the ballistic trajectory on the front middle armor like raindrops, abruptly breaking the fear in the sight of the two of them.

Until they died, they didn't understand why these bionics, who were programmed to never harm humans, stretched out their hands to weapons, and why they attacked them.

"Nice job..."

The billowing smoke was finally drawn away by the vacuum fire extinguishing system. Lu Zhou, who was almost choked to death, stood up from behind the bunker with a dry cough.

This grenade was indeed beyond his expectation.

Fortunately, the bionic man sent by Xiao Ai responded in time and rescued him from danger.

Perhaps because he understood his affirmation, the bionic man nodded.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The pupils of the bionic man shrank suddenly, and its slightly curved legs exploded violently. It made a forward pounce, and pushed away Lu Zhou who was walking towards him.

He was hit by the bionic man and flew out. Before Lu Zhou could recover what happened, he saw a black shadow come out of the shadow on one side and slammed into his previous position. ——On the bionic man who pushed him away.

The hand-to-hand combat broke out in an instant, and the winner was decided in an instant.

The man wearing the combat exoskeleton, after chopping off the right arm of the bionic man with a dagger, easily disarmed it, and then threw another dagger, directly chopping off its neck.

Before dying, the bionic man firmly grasped the barrel of the gun with his remaining left hand, and locked his own joints, trying to stop the man at the expense of himself.

However, the man's reaction was quite decisive. He simply threw away the rifle in his hand, and stepped directly towards Lu Zhou, who was close at hand, and grabbed him.

At this extreme distance, it is too late to charge the magnetic slingshot.

Looking at Lu Zhou who had nowhere to escape, a cruel smile appeared on the face of Lusas, who had the chance to win.

Although it is still unclear how this seemingly intimidating man in front of him killed his companion, but it doesn't matter at this moment.

"It seems that you have a lot of good things about you."

"But it's a pity...it's war, kid."

As he said that, without giving his opponent a chance to confess his last words, he stabbed the dagger in his hand without hesitation.

However, in the next moment, his expression was completely frozen on his face.

The dagger that pierced his body seemed to have pierced a transparent wall, and the turbulent airflow messed up his bangs.

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind.

wind?

How can it be?

I am wearing a fully enclosed helmet...

However, even after realizing something was wrong, Rusas had no time to think about it carefully.

The nitrogen gas that was almost compressed into a solid, like an unsharp battle axe, directly penetrated his armor, struck his internal organs, and messed them up.

The principle of the nitrogen shield is not to release compressed nitrogen, but to interfere with the diatomic molecules in the surrounding air through the special force field generated by the device, compressing the surrounding nitrogen into a swirling wall of circulating air.

As long as it is in an atmospheric environment, this kind of shield can theoretically defend against almost all light weapons-level kinetic energy attacks. At the same time, after understanding this principle, Lu Zhou immediately thought of another alternative usage.

That is, the force field generated by the nitrogen shield directly acts on the nitrogen molecules in the target's body, resulting in "ignoring armor" damage!

Although it can only be used when the distance is close enough, this attack method is equivalent to ignoring armor, and its lethality against soft targets is undoubtedly huge.

And this is probably the cruelest usage of the nitrogen shield...

His internal organs were shattered into countless pieces, and Lusas, who had done countless evils, choked up blood in his mouth, and finally swallowed his last breath in silent pain.

Putting his fist on his chest, looking at the entire swollen exoskeleton armor, there was no trace of pity in Lu Zhou's eyes.

"When I sat in the special seat to watch the military parade, your father was still a cell."

"Whose child are you calling..."

Withdrawing his outstretched fist, Lu Zhou sighed as he glanced at the shield generator on his arm that had exhausted the last bit of energy and began to gradually dissipate into black powder.

"...I wanted to save some energy for research, but I didn't expect it to be used up like this."

When the system level was still at a low level, most of the samples taken were one-off, and this nitrogen shield could be regarded as one of them.

However, the equipment that was originally brought from the "novice village" has been used up to the present. Lu Zhou only had a heartache for a while before rushing to the cockpit.

This flight has been drifting in the universe for two days, and logically speaking, it should arrive at the station in at most one day.

However, instead of slowing down, the spaceship is still accelerating. He didn't know if there was enough fuel left to slow down, let alone how many minutes, or even how many seconds, were left in the window period for the Earth-Moon system to enter orbit.

The top priority now is to rescue the kidnapped captain as soon as possible, so that the flight can return to the normal course as soon as possible.

However, when Lu Zhou rushed to the cockpit, he saw two corpses lying in a pool of blood.

"day!"

Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, Lu Zhou's face turned black in an instant, and he couldn't help but swear.

Judging by the uniforms they were wearing...

I'm afraid he's in a bit of trouble.

(Adjust the schedule, today's update will not be divided into chapters, the number of words is actually the same as usual.

In addition, just to say a few words, the book will be finished in five months. I myself hope to make some innovations and breakthroughs in the plot, not like the design of most black technology texts, or what you understand Like the "routine", start a company and then become the world's top 1, fly out of the solar system to complete the book.

This is both a challenge and a learning for me. If successful, it may become a new "routine", if not successful, I will learn from the experience and improve in the next book.

I remember that when I wrote about nuclear fusion last year, there were quite a few people who complained, either because they thought it was too advanced, or because they thought that the protagonist should not engage in research outside of theory. But like I said before, writing is not juggling, and it must not be the shout that determines how a book should be written, but the outline.

I hope that while writing theoretical research, I can use controllable fusion as an opportunity in the second stage to write out the feeling of applying theory into application, then I will follow my outline and try my best to write this part well .

Now is the third stage, the last part of this book, which is still in the outline plan so far.

I never expected that every chapter of mine would be liked by everyone. After all, I am not RMB, and I really don’t have that much ability. But if my works can bring you some joy different from daily life after dinner, that is my honor as an author.

Therefore, I also hope that some people can be more polite, no matter whether we can get to the end together in the end, even if it is for the sake of "loved" once, at least give each other some decency and civilization.
