Machine War: Infinite Frontier

Xiao Yun had only heard Regeni tell him about the FOLD crystal, so he could finish the sentence when Luo mentioned it casually, but he couldn't say anything more if he was asked to.

Anyway, the FOLD crystal is like a magic gem that adds 0.5 to everything.

The total subjective sixteen hours and the objective one hundred and twenty hours are still a bit too long in Xiao Yun's opinion. This really cannot be calculated based on sixteen hours but must be regarded as one hundred and twenty hours. Five days has already passed. So many things can change.

The only thing he could do was to believe in Kruse and that Schneizel could deal with all emergencies.

In the temporary rest room, Shirley Lu had been sitting on the narrow boat with her legs folded in a daze. Perhaps she was a little shy about being close to home, which made her feel more and more uneasy.

Xiao Yun has been sleeping on the bed next to him since he came to this rest room after a trip to the bridge. He has to take a forced rest regardless of whether he can sleep or not. Not only all his personnel who are going to be dispatched must do so. Get enough rest to maintain your best physical and mental condition.

Xiao Yun didn't know if the others were resting well, but he knew that he slept well.

Xiao Yun opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He patted his face gently so that he could be more awake. He turned to look at Shirley Lu, who had not disturbed him until now. He fell asleep on the bed.

He stood up and touched Shirley Lu's forehead. After confirming that there was no problem, Xiao Yun did not make any noise and Shirley Lu was ready to leave. However, as soon as he took his hand away from Shirley Lu's forehead, Shirley Lu reached out and grabbed her.

"Are we leaving yet?"

"Well, it's almost time."

Xiao Yun hummed, smiled and asked, "Are you asleep?"

Shirley Lu slowly sat up and looked at Xiao Yun: "I slept for a while."

Xiao Yun sat down and hugged Shirley Lu, and couldn't help but show some gentleness: "I am still worried about Galaxy's situation."

Shirley pursed her lips: "I'm worried about you, but I'm also a little worried about Galaxy, Xiao Yun. It's impossible for all the citizens of Galaxy to be bad people, right?"

Xiao Yun gently patted Shirley's back and comforted her: "Absolutely. What Grace and the others are going to do simply goes beyond the bottom line of human beings. They completely give up their last persistence as human beings. There will definitely be no shortage of them in Galaxy." People with a sense of justice. I believe that those in the United Army who protected the fleet during Vajra's attack and were willing to give up everything to stay behind must be kind and good people. Although there will definitely be spies arranged by Grace in the refugee fleet, I’m sure most people don’t know what Grace’s plans are.”

"Don't worry, my people are very strong. The refugee ship group must be safe and sound now. If you are really worried, go to the bridge in person and ask about the situation. Maybe the news has already spread by this time. "You don't look like the Shirley I know now. When did you become so sentimental?"

Shirley Lu leaned in Xiao Yun's arms and said softly: "People also have many sides. In front of others, I can be the Milky Way Enchantress Shirley Lu. That's because I have to be like that. I don't want to pretend like this in front of you." , it’s normal for me to have a weak side.”

"Also, your common sense of this world is too poor. There is no way to receive outside communications during the FOLD jump."

Xiao Yun laughed: "That's right, I really don't know, but DEFOLD will be carried out soon, and the message will be received simultaneously when you go out. Clean up and I will take you to the bridge."

Shirley Lu looked up at Xiao Yun and nodded heavily: "Yes."

Xiao Yun's timing was quite accurate. Less than half an hour after bringing Shirley to the bridge, the carrier carried out DEFOLD and returned to the normal universe.

I received quite a lot of messages just after I came out of FOLD space.

"The rescue of the refugee fleet was completed. It encountered the giant flagship vajra. Thirteen VF-171 aircraft were lost in the battle and eight people were sacrificed. The wreckage has been recovered. S.M.S has no casualties."

"Frontier was attacked by vajra who was following him. Lord Cruze led the knights of the White Wolf Team to attack. Our rescuers rushed back in time to join the battle. With the help of Orchid Li's song, vajra retreated. During the battle, unknown persons infiltrated Dawn Heavy Industry and have been completely eliminated. Gra The President of Sri Lanka was assassinated and injured, and all assassins were killed. The danger of Frontier was eliminated. The message reminded that vajra can be attracted by FOLD jumps and track FOLD routes. The possibility of large-scale FOLD voyages attracting vajra is extremely high."

"Lord Cruze has stepped forward to take over Dawn PMC, Dawn Heavy Industries has begun to contact Frontier, and the New United Army Headquarters has dispatched an investigation team to Frontier."

In addition to this information, there is also a lot of information from the Frontier ship group to contact them, mainly to confirm the location and safety.

Xiao Yun quickly analyzed everything from so much information. Although the content of the text description is simple, it is definitely not able to explain the entire process clearly in just a few sentences. Judging from the information alone, they are A lot of things happened during the FOLD voyage, but the elimination of danger is the confirmation of the final result.

Kruse came forward to take over Suguang to create an appearance that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Frontier may have sent so many messages because he suspected that they were in danger and their whereabouts were unknown.

Xiao Yun quickly read all the information and then gave an order to the proposed reformers on the bridge: "No need to reply. From now on, there will be complete silence. Notify everyone to prepare for departure."

Shirley Lu suddenly pulled Xiao Yun: "I'm sorry..."

"What are you sorry about?" Xiao Yun glanced at Shirley Lu and said, "What are you sorry about?"

Shirley Lu felt a little uncomfortable: "If it weren't for me..."

"Oh, let's talk as we walk." Xiao Yun pulled Shirley Lu away from the bridge and headed towards the hangar. On the way, he also asked Shirley Lu: "Are you apologizing for the people who died?"

Shirley lowered her head and although she didn't speak, her meaning was already very obvious.

Xiao Yun shook his head: "These have nothing to do with you. Although no one wants to see the sacrifice of the New United Army's protection ship, fighting is their responsibility. It is the same whether it is Galaxy or Frontier. The meaning of the United Army's existence is Protect civilians.”

"You don't have to think so much. The situation that things have evolved into today is already a very good result. To put it lightly and irresponsibly, it is worth it that only so few people sacrificed but more people were protected. It's okay for my people. Many of my people are not normal human beings. I chose them to go there because of the suspicion that they might all be wiped out. "

Shirley raised her head and looked at Xiao Yun in astonishment.

"You can understand the artificial human pseudo-transformers as a situation similar to Grace. You will gradually know the details later. Someone near the battlefield will recycle their consciousness and then create a new body for them. Well, the behavior patterns are mostly simple and dull, haven’t you noticed yet?”

Shirley thought for a while and shook her head.

"Okay." Xiao Yun smiled and said, "In short, there is no need to put too much pressure and self-blame. Everything now is the best result."

As soon as Xiao Yun arrived at the hangar, Luo, who was wearing combat uniforms and holding a helmet, trotted over with Xiao Baozou, who was also wearing thick armor: "We are all ready to go. Miss Shirley will also come with us." Are you going?"

Xiao Yun looked at Shirley Lu and said to Luo: "Have someone bring you a set of clothes."

"Xiaoba, please excuse me."

Xiaoba's voice sounded: "The clothes will be here soon. I'm very happy to meet you, Miss Shirley Lu. I finally get to know you openly today. I like your songs very much."

Shirley looked at the box in Luo's hand blankly: "This is it?"

Xiaoba: "I am a super AI."

Luo was a little surprised: "Xiaoba, when did you start chasing stars?"

"Idiot Luo."

A would-be reformer came out with a brand new set of clothes. After Xiao Yun took it, he took Shirley to the dressing room to change clothes: "Xiaoba is a super AI. You also know that we are people from different worlds. Treat AI every time." The attitude is different in every world, but in the eyes of all of us, Xiaoba is a partner, not an AI."

"Well, I understand."

Xiao Yun helped Shirley put on the combat uniform: "This equipment can withstand many attacks. When the time comes, don't worry about anything and just follow me."

Shirley Lu hesitated: "Should I go too? I'm worried it will affect you."

"It's okay, I will protect you." Xiao Yun smiled, took the helmet and helped Shirley put it on, and said: "You may not be able to use many functions. To fully utilize the combat uniform's functions, you need training and training. Matching, but as long as the defense function is used, the rest is left to the AI. Each of us has our own auxiliary AI, and my AI is called VT.”

"VT?"

"Hello, Miss Shirley Lu, I am VT. I also like Miss Shirley Lu's singing voice."

Shirley Lu was a little at a loss: "Ah!?"

Completely different from Xiaoba's voice, VT's voice seems more mechanical, but Shirley can still hear some special emotions in it.

Xiao Yun laughed: "VT, you are also starting to chase stars."

"Sorry Xiao Yun, I'm not star-chasing, I just appreciate beautiful things."

Coming out of the locker room, Xiao Yun took another Harrow from the hands of the would-be reformer, a small Harrow with the same hair color as Shirley, raised his hand and pressed it directly into the interface of the combat uniform backpack.

"Hello hello, Sherry Lou hello, I'm hello."

Xiao Yun said: "This is a Harrow-type auxiliary AI. It is different from the one used in combat and is more chatty, but it also has basic combat assistance functions. Get familiar with it gradually, and it will be your special Harrow from now on."

After boarding the fighter plane with Shirley Lu, Xiao Yun also jumped into the cockpit of the fighter plane and closed the cockpit cover with a wave of his hand.

The body of the aircraft was slowly lifted, and a robotic arm also brought a small carrier capsule over and hung it under the body. Inside the box were five fully armed members of the Paw Patrol Team.

"Preparations for the attack are complete. Sir, you can set off."

"Copy that." Xiao Yun responded by turning his head and shouting behind him: "Get ready to go."

Shirley took a deep breath and said loudly: "Well, I'm ready."

As the green light on the launch deck turned on, Xiao Yun gently stepped on the foot pedal and pushed the operating lever, and steadily flew the fighter plane out of the deck. Several fighters also approached during the process, until all the aircraft were equipped with With all the carrying compartments launched, at Xiao Yun's order, he started the FOLD jump and entered the special space again.

Luo was also in a carrier capsule at this time, a space where external communications would be affected but internal communications would not.

"The whole voyage takes one hour and eighteen minutes. According to Hanayu's confirmation, the Galaxy main island ship is still in place without any movement. Once DEFOLD is carried out, all defense measures must be activated in the entire body immediately. Do not let the carrier compartment be destroyed. Hit."

Cong Yungui said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to any of you."

Mu laughed: "Luo is scared."

Luo said dissatisfied: "Of course I will be afraid! Otherwise, we two change places."

"No need, I'm a professional fighter pilot. Don't worry, even if I use my body to block bullets, none of you will be injured before entering the target."

Xiao Yun curled his lips: "It's so dangerous. Once the double furnace opens the GN barrier, it can withstand most attacks. Stella, be careful."

"Uh-huh."

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone's fighter planes turned on DEFOLD and left hyperspace. At a glance, they saw a very large ship directly below them.

The main island of Galaxy is completely different from the main island of Frontier. It is less like an island and more like an extremely huge super battleship, and it also has quite a lot of weapons and defense measures.

Dozens of fighter jets were speeding in their direction, and a dozen warships were quickly turning around to give them a warm welcome to these uninvited guests.

The first means of welcome were dense barrages and countless missiles speeding towards them with white trails.

"Come on!"

Xiao Yun shouted: "VT!"

A page instantly popped up on the small screen in the cockpit of the aircraft. The two solar furnaces on the aircraft suddenly ejected a huge amount of GN particles, and the green particles created a thick shield in the blink of an eye. It is also wrapped in the carrying compartment below.

The fighter formation was divided into two. One team rushed directly towards the huge spaceship below, and the other team rushed towards the largest warship. The GN-BIT also popped up simultaneously, part for defense and part for attack.

Countless missiles are flying, fighter planes are drifting in and out of the bullet storm, GN-BIT is flying around like an elf and is difficult to catch, and all the machines are emitting red light in the process, using it to make the enemy unable to catch it. The terrifying speed of being unable to react brings up the afterimage and quickly approaches the target.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Kira's voice sounded, and the fighter plane he was driving rushed to the front, firing all the firepower at a single point with numerous missiles, GN-BIT, and all the attack methods of the aircraft itself, launching a coordinated attack, just in the blink of an eye. In a matter of seconds, a hole was opened on the surface of the huge spaceship. (End of chapter)
