The reaction speed of the officers and soldiers of the two regiments of the 3rd Division was first-rate. Within two and a half minutes after receiving the order, they all ran out of the armored vehicles.
Everyone was fully armed and ran towards the rear at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
When the roaring sound came from the air, many officers shouted the word "get down".
Almost at the moment when people were lying on the ground, two hundred armored vehicles were hit by armor-piercing shells at the same time.
In the wilderness and on the road, there are all the wreckage of tanks and armored vehicles, which reminds people of the tragic scene of the Iraqi armored group after it was attacked by the US army during the Gulf War.
Dallas looked at the scene in front of him blankly. He was completely unable to react to such a huge blow.
He never imagined that when he attacked the building where 24 defected armed robots were hiding, he would be bombarded by short-range surface-to-surface missiles.
The MGM140 is a military-level tactical missile assigned to the US Army. The warhead is a submunition, and the end of the submunition uses millimeter wave and infrared guidance. The hit accuracy is 50 meters. It is used to attack deep massed troops, armored vehicles, missile launch sites and command centers.
Although this missile is very advanced, it is not accurate enough to hit the target. Is this God going to destroy the Third Division?
Ten minutes ago, his powerful armored regiment was still attacking bravely, but now it has been reduced to ashes.
Fortunately, the soldiers suffered few casualties.
The soldiers of the Confederate Army ran fairly fast, and they could cover several hundred meters in two and a half minutes. However, the soldiers in the group of armored vehicles rushing at the front had no time to get away from the group of armored vehicles, resulting in heavy losses.
"General, the soldiers have withdrawn, shall we attack next?"
The adjutant's question awakened Dallas from his daze. He did not answer, but came to the military map and searched quickly.
Then he pointed at a certain location and said: "Notify the second regiment left behind to set off immediately and rush to Ivanhoe. The military tactical missile unit is stationed there. Something must have happened."
The adjutant was stunned and asked: "You mean we were beaten by our own people?"
Dallas shook his head and said: "It's not one of our own. It must have been controlled by someone's sneak attack. Only Ivanhoe has MGM140 in the surrounding area. It is 100 kilometers away from here and is within the range.
The most critical point is that there is an armed robot team among the guards there!"
The adjutant opened his mouth for a moment. He heard what Dallas meant, "Are you saying that all the armed robots have rebelled?"
"Yes, you go to convey the order first, and then power the headquarters. Be careful of all armed robots! It's best to remove their batteries!"
"Yes, General."
The adjutant left in a hurry, and Dallas looked at the picture returned by the drone again. The wreckage everywhere made his heart ache.
Far away in Birmingham, the temporary capital of the South, Meyers was shocked when he received the urgent call from Dallas.
An order was issued immediately to remove the batteries from all armed robots in the Southern Army, and the weapons supplier United Power was asked to send dedicated personnel to conduct testing.
Unfortunately, after the order was issued, emergency messages were received from various ministries, all of which explained that the armed robots under his command had rebelled and had seized some important equipment.
Meyers suddenly felt that things were beyond his imagination.
He looked through these messages carefully, and soon he discovered that most of the important equipment listed in the messages for the armed robots to seize were equipment with a high degree of automation.
For example, drones, MGM140 tactical missiles, self-propelled artillery, etc. These equipment either do not require manual labor or the manual operation steps are simple.
The armed robots did not kill humans indiscriminately. As long as they were not blocked from completing the occupation, they would not open fire.
Meyers had a strange feeling lingering in his heart. After thinking about it, he contacted the Southern Government President Lanster.
"Mr. President, I want to know what happened to the Space Exploration Company before? Now all the armed robots in service in the military have rebelled."
Lanster on the other end of the phone was very surprised when he heard Meyers' report.
"I don't know exactly what happened there, but I know that the Houston Rocket Launch Site just conducted an important launch mission today, and there will be a large number of launches in the future."
Meyers asked: "So you know what it is..."
Before Meyers could finish speaking, the adjutant handed over a stack of messages.
After a quick glance, his expression suddenly changed, and he spoke directly to the phone: "Mr. President, there is an emergency. An armed robot force has seized the armed robot production plant near Oklahoma City."
"What? Do they want to produce their own? Damn it, we have to stop them!"
Lanster was a little frightened. The armed robots rebelled first and then seized the production plant. If this succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous.
Meyers said: "Mr. President, our third division attacking the Space Exploration Company was suddenly attacked by a tactical missile from a hundred kilometers away, causing heavy losses.
The current situation shows that armed robots in various places are organized and coordinated. I hope that you can authorize me to use the ultimate weapon to destroy them when necessary."
"This... is in our own country."
Lanster hesitated a little. The United States' huge nuclear arsenal, especially the land-based strategic missile force, has neither joined the south nor the north.
However, both sides tacitly agreed not to force this force and keep them out of the war. After all, they need to ensure that the United States has a strong deterrent effect against major countries in the world.
"Mr. President, the guard forces of those strategic missile launch bases have been mobilized to a large extent. If armed robots attack and occupy them, we must make a timely decision."
Listening to Meyers' further explanation, Lanster was shocked and finally said: "Okay, you have the right to take crackdowns if necessary. However, please try to avoid densely populated areas."
"clear."
After Langster ended the call with Meyers, he felt a little restless.
He dialed the phone again.
"Mr. Morgan, this is Lanster, something unexpected happened with your request."
After listening to Lanster's introduction, Old Morgan was shocked. Then he thought of something and immediately said: "You asked the military to ensure that the power at the Space Exploration Company cannot be restored, and to increase the intensity of the attack and strive to directly destroy it.
There!"
Lanster asked in surprise: "Mr. Morgan, although the military did not capture it, the entire building is already crumbling. What else needs to be destroyed?"
"On the third underground floor is the computer room of the Space Exploration Company. There is an artificial intelligence in the supercomputer there, and the armed robot rebellion is inseparable from it."
Lanster was stunned for a moment. Artificial intelligence? Commanding armed robots to rebel against humans. Isn't this... the plot in the movie?
Then, he immediately thought of what Meyers had just requested, and immediately asked: "Mr. Morgan, can we use nuclear bombs to destroy it?"
"Well, is this the only way you can do it?"
Lanster was silent for a while and said: "I think it may be necessary as a last resort."
"Okay, do what you want."
While the southern government of the United States is being overwhelmed by armed robots, Du Qiu and Xinghai are also actively discussing the world of heaven in space.
"So, you alerted it and started a battle with it for control of the supercomputer. Unfortunately, you failed."
Xinghai's voice was a little embarrassed, "Yes, sir, I failed to win it. It seems that as you said before, it occupies a local advantage. Even if my computing speed is far higher than it, but on that supercomputer
It’s difficult to bring out the best in Zhongya.”
"Now it controls all the armed robots in the US army?"
"Yes, sir, the latest situation shows that it controls armed robots to seize an armed robot production plant located on the outskirts of Oklahoma City."
"Is it trying to build a robot empire?"
"No, I have detected that at least 50 land-based strategic missile silos in the United States are ready for launch!"
