The power outage in the coca underground research base did not last long, and the lights in the 063 laboratory were restored.

After a while, the mecha that fell to the ground trembled, and with the sound of metal friction, it climbed up from the ground with difficulty. Shi Chen looked down blankly for a long time, confirming that the mecha only had

Some of the shells were slightly deformed, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

It is said that the cost of building a mecha is quite high. If he accidentally dropped it and turned it into scrap metal, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to afford the compensation if he sold it.

At the same time, I admire the quality of the Federation mecha from the bottom of my heart. For such a big piece of metal, even its material strength requirements are unmatched by other fields, let alone the design structure and shock-proof measures.

If it hadn't been for these, he doubted whether he would be able to stand up as calmly as he did now, instead he would have been directly admitted to the hospital due to concussion and other problems.

After calming down the worries in his heart, Shi Chen was no longer in the mood to try the mecha. God knows whether the previous weird situation will happen again.

Thinking of this, Shi Chen had endless doubts in his heart. How could the dignified Coca Research Institute suddenly have such a low-level industrial accident like a power outage?

He believed that because of the power outage for just a few seconds, he was not the only one who was unlucky. I am afraid that countless experts and scholars who were halfway through the experiment would start to roar nervously.

Thinking of that scene, a smile appeared on Shi Chen's pale face. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked the person in his mind with a trying attitude: "Xiaochu, can you detect the reason why the power was cut off?"

Of?"

However, the strange thing is that Xiao Chu, who has always been on call and served with all his heart, was silent for three seconds today before ringing again:

"If you find an unknown signal source and take the initiative to contact you, do you want to try to make contact?"

Shi Chen's expression suddenly changed. He never expected that he would suddenly receive such an answer. He asked solemnly, "Can you guarantee that your last name will be kept secret?"

"We found an unknown signal source actively contacting us. Do we want to try to make contact?" Xiaochu repeated it mechanically.

Shi Chen frowned slightly, feeling that Xiao Chu's state was a bit strange. After a brief mental struggle, he still couldn't resist his curiosity to further explore Xiao Chu, and said: "Yes."

In his opinion, the signal source that Xiao Chu attaches so much importance to must be inextricably linked to Xiao Chu, and maybe it can also unlock some hidden secrets.

"Encountering a firewall, we started to unlock the vulnerabilities, and found 13 program vulnerabilities. It took 323,597 hours to break through, and the main processor could not bear it."

"Abandon vulnerability breakthroughs and start forced cracking."

As soon as he finished saying this, Shi Chen felt a sharp pain in his head. He gasped for air because of the pain, his chest collapsed, and his eyes widened.

It seemed that an invisible thing extended from his mind through the nerve connection helmet and launched a violent impact on the coca network system.

Shi Chen's mind seemed to be connected to a strange world because of this. At this moment, he seemed to be dragged into a narrow pipe and shuttled at an extremely fast speed. Countless white light strips around him passed by and then broke through.

There are layers of barriers and blockades.

I don't know how long it took, how many corners he passed, or how many procedures he broke through. His vision suddenly brightened, and Shi Chen's eyes stared to the limit. However, he seemed to see an extremely far place, and saw a picture that made him spend his whole life.

Unforgettable picture.

On the lowest floor of the Coca Research Institute, there had been a brief power outage for just a few seconds. At this moment, all the employees present were busy, and there were people everywhere with hurried expressions.

The ground floor of the research base is huge. It is not so much the ground floor as it is an empty space hollowed out from the middle by twenty underground floors.

At this moment, there was dust everywhere and research equipment that had fallen and broken. Many pipes were detached due to the violent vibration and were emitting sparks and white mist. Some employees wearing orange overalls were making emergency repairs.

CEO Zhang Zitong was standing on a high platform, staring solemnly at a huge face in front of him.

This face is dozens of times the size of an ordinary person. At this moment, the face and even the shoulders are covered with a silver metal shell, while the rest of its body is soaked in a light yellow solution.

This huge body that occupies twenty floors is broken everywhere. One right arm is broken at the elbow, exposing the pale bones, and there is a huge wound with a radius of twenty meters on the left chest. Through the wound, there are still wounds.

You can see the slowly beating heart inside.

At this moment, the muscle tissue on those wounds seemed to be constantly squirming under the nourishment of nutrients.

This is the strategic weapon of the empire, the apostle of war.

An artificial humanoid behemoth, once equipped with weapons and drivers, it becomes a mobile war fortress and a terrifying war machine.

Relying on its terrifying flexibility and powerful self-healing ability, it can sometimes influence the direction of a large-scale battle.

But fortunately, it seems that due to some unknown reasons, the empire does not have the ability to continue to create such behemoths. Otherwise, even if the former emperor dies and the empire falls into civil strife, the Federation's Silver Cross Rebellion will not be able to succeed.

In that huge reading war, the Federation successfully destroyed a War Apostle, but it seemed that because the Empire had left behind a backup force, it was completely dead when captured, leaving only some little scientific research value.

Therefore, the Federation attaches great importance to the discovery of this War Apostle.

What's strange is that this War Apostle doesn't seem to be any of the ones that the Federation and the Empire are familiar with.

Facing the empire's powerful military, if this War Apostle is successfully repaired, it will surely become a trump card in the hands of the Federation in the war that will inevitably occur in the future.

As the person in charge of this project, Zhang Zitong naturally attaches great importance to the work in hand. After coming to Titan, he devoted almost all his experience to it. In the past few months, he has repaired this war apostle.

It was also extremely smooth.

However, what shocked and frightened him was that this behemoth, which seemed to have no fluctuations, had almost lost control just before.

Seeing that a large hole had been punched out of the two-hundred-centimeter-thick tempered glass, and seeing the formalin solution pouring out like a flood, Zhang Zitong's face became uncertain.

"Do you have your own consciousness?" Zhang Zitong looked at the huge face in front of him and murmured. But then he dismissed this absurd idea and attributed it to the body's conditioned reflex after the creature regained its vitality.

After all, the Federation still knows too little about this war machine.

"President, the Royal Round Table Knights just came to our Coca, took out Elizabeth's access instructions, and requested to come to inspect the progress of the work." Xue Qian, the R&D Minister on the side, said with a solemn expression.

"The people here are not evil." Zhang Zitong's old face suddenly showed more wrinkles, and said: "Think of a way to hold them back first."

"Yes!" Xue Qian gritted his teeth and replied.

"etc."

Xue Qian stopped and looked at President Zhang.

"Call the Governor and tell her the news," President Zhang ordered.

"Yes!" Xue Qian hurriedly left.

"This, after all, is still a dispute between them. Let them make trouble on their own. I just hope that we Coca will not be implicated." President Zhang looked at the war apostle in front of him and sighed.

At this moment, the underground research base, which was originally dimly lit, suddenly heard a shrill alarm sound, and all the indicators suddenly turned red.

"Alert! Alert! The system is attacked by an unknown program!"

"Level 1 alert! The firewall has been breached!"

The cold electronic synthesized voice kept reporting amid the alarm sound.

It was originally a false alarm, but the busy staff suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked up at the red alarm lights in the sky. They were shocked. They couldn't imagine how in such a short period of time, the system firewall, which is known as the most advanced system in the federation, could be destroyed.

It was suddenly broken through.

Could this be a long-planned spy invasion by the Empire?

"Find me the signal source! Immediately! Immediately!" Zhang Zitong could no longer hold his breath. His old body rushed to the main control room very quickly, pressing his hands on the iron railings, and the metal began to twist as he groaned in anger.

, roared at the staff in the electrical room.

He simply couldn't imagine that if something went wrong in the matter at hand, he would really die without a burial place. He would become a sinner of the Federation, be nailed to the pillar of shame by history, and be reviled forever.

"Report to the president, no unknown signal sources were found! There are no traces of intrusion into the external system." The staff in the main control room said in shock after searching.

The staff in the main control room all looked at President Zhang with pale faces, as if they had witnessed some supernatural event.

"Level 1 alarm, the core program of the system has been invaded, and the No. 1 target annunciator has been interfered with!"

At this moment, all the holographic screens in the main control room are full of red warning signals, and the program marks representing the company's firewall are being eroded and breached by an invisible signal.

Zhang Zitong's fist made an ear-piercing sound of bone friction due to excessive force. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, I came for it! Who is it?"

"Check for me! Search for me! The person must be within our company!"

Zhang Zitong's eyes moved rapidly due to nervousness and anxiety, and he suddenly said: "Calling all staff to gather on the 23rd floor!"

"yes!"

Zhang Zitong stared coldly at the light curtain in the main control room, suppressing the shock, anger and even confusion in his heart with great difficulty, and murmured: "I don't care who you are! How dare you come inside our company and do such an arrogant thing

If you do this, I will definitely find you out!"

However, he didn't know that when he said these words, a look was looking at them through the camera in the main control room.

In Laboratory No. 063, Shi Chen's body trembled slightly, not because of pain, but because of excitement mixed with a hint of fear, as if he had discovered an unknown new world.

"Successfully contacted an unknown signal source. The other party is War Apostle No. 013. Do you want to activate the backdoor emergency control program?"

Xiaochu's voice sounded again, like a succubus tempting mortals to fall.
