Chapter 1979: Zhang refused to communicate
"I am Zhao Chen."
The current Imperial Marshal of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire was previously the Supreme Commander of the Xiaolong Legion Fleet and the Xiaolong Lord.
I know your mechanical lord, Mili, as well as three other mechanical leaders.
I now request to speak with you.
Please reply upon receipt.
Zhao Chen recorded a video message and sent it out, hoping the other party would reply when they saw it.
However, after more than ten minutes, the contact still went unanswered.
"What exactly is going on?"
"It shouldn't be like this." Zhao Chen paced back and forth.
The scene of their reunion after so many years shouldn't be like this, as he imagined.
“There might be a problem somewhere,” Marshal Medusa said.
"So what do we do now?"
"We can't contact them. If we get any closer, they'll open fire on us, which will lead to infighting." Zhao Chen clutched his head.
He hadn't expected that this mission would encounter such an awkward situation.
Marshal Medusa remained silent for a moment.
The technician standing nearby said, "Actually, it's possible to force contact."
"Forced contact?" Zhao Chen suddenly realized something: "You mean..."
It involves entering a certain area of the Black Wall defenses and then forcibly infiltrating their internal communication networks.
"Yes.
Carbon-based life forms are artificial intelligence, and most low- to mid-level artificial intelligence has a central processor.
Once we enter a certain range, we can attempt to intervene in this central processor, and then our message will be visible to more members of the machine race.
"They might then be willing to contact us," the technician said.
"Let's do it this way."
“But if we do that, we will be attacked by the Black Wall defenses first,” Marshal Medusa said from the side.
"They have stayed here for eight years for our sake."
So what if someone beats me up a few times?
The other fleets were ordered to remain in place and stand by.
We will assemble a fleet of three hundred ships, with our flagship, the T7 Helios-class super starship, as the flagship, and additional interstellar escort ships.
"Activate the Star Shield field to its full extent, and charge straight in."
Marshal Medusa was startled when she heard about the plan.
But this is indeed the most suitable plan at the moment, she nodded.
We'll arrange it immediately.
Soon, their T7 Helios-class super starship was surrounded by three hundred T6 interstellar frigates, giving them a great sense of security.
As they continued their voyage, they entered the firing range of the Black Wall defenses.
As expected, they were subjected to a barrage of long-range artillery fire.
These attacks covered the star shields of these three hundred starships.
However, none of these interstellar warships retaliated; they continued forward.
Throughout this process, the JF-17 fleet did not give up using various methods to contact the opposing machine race and inform them of its identity.
"Report: The enemy's central processing unit network has been detected. Intervention is now in progress."
"That's what the technician said."
Zhao Chen waited quietly, waiting.
Despite the ongoing gunfire outside, he waited, waiting for news from the opposing mechanical race.
Then, news arrived.
However, this news did not come from the Machine Race, but from the Wyvern Legion fleet behind them.
"Report! Our deployed interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships have detected a large fleet of the Dark Legion rapidly approaching from our flank!"
Marshal Medusa looked at Emperor Dragon beside her.
"What are you looking at me for? I'm directing the battle." Zhao Chen rolled his eyes at him.
"yes."
Marshal Medusa immediately issued a battle order, and the six legion fleets in the rear went all out to annihilate this dark legion fleet.
This is also a way for them to express goodwill to the Black Wall defense line.
A few more minutes passed.
This time, they finally received a reply from the Black Wall defense line.
"Are you really the JF-17 Dragon Legion fleet?"
Zhao Chen was quite surprised when he saw the reply.
"What do you want from me to believe my identity?" Zhao Chen asked.
"We demand an audience with Emperor Zhao Chen of the Dragon King."
"And he was all alone." The message came from the other side.
“I agree,” Zhao Chen said.
Medusa looked at Zhao Chen with some worry.
"Don't worry about me, the person here is my comrade who has stood by us for eight years."
Moreover, my body is a mechanical body.
It's okay if you die.
If something really happens to me.
You are to withdraw from this area, but you must remain stationed here.
"No armed conflict is permitted with the defenders of the Black Wall. If the Dark Legion fleet is discovered, it must be destroyed and annihilated."
"yes."
"Prepare a shuttle for me."
After that, Zhao Chen drove the shuttle alone to the Black Great Wall defense line.
Upon approaching the Black Great Wall defense line, Zhao Chen realized that the Black Great Wall defense line was completely different from what it was eight years ago.
Eight years ago, the Great Wall defense line was essentially a city, a fortress.
But now.
It could also be described as a city, but an incredibly massive mechanical city.
Simply put, it's like constructing a steel framework between the Earth and several celestial bodies around it.
This is how an enormous mechanical city was formed.
It looks messy and disorderly.
However, within this black wall, there are passageways specifically reserved for fleet navigation.
At that moment, the shuttle Zhao Chen was in was targeted by a starship, which released a traction beam and took control of Zhao Chen's shuttle.
Zhao Chen also gave up control, letting the other party take control of his shuttle.
Ultimately, the other party led Zhao Chen's shuttle to a platform location.
The shuttle's hatch slowly opened.
Zhao Chen walked out.
But the moment he stepped off the shuttle, hundreds of laser guns were aimed at Zhao Chen.
A figure walked over and shot a binding rope directly at Zhao Chen, binding his body.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
I am truly Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon.
"I want to see your leader, your chief!" Zhao Chen shouted.
"That's a lie."
The Dragon Emperor is human, but what is this body of yours?
It's a mechanical body!
"You're the spy the enemy is planning to plant." The other person said, pointing at Zhao Chen's mechanical body.
Zhao Chen immediately explained, "If I were really lying to you..."
Then why do I have to look like this?
This body of mine is a mechanical one, because my true self is not here.
For my safety and convenience, I can remotely control this body.
My true form is still in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
If you still doubt me, I can confront your leader.
"I want to see the Cherubim, I want to see Ah Yin, Ah Jin!"
