Chapter 286 Declaration of War

Chapter 286 Declaration of War
"Wait! Please don't do this!"

Seeing that Leon seemed determined to ignite and take him away in one go, Atifi128, who was facing a life-and-death crisis, had to settle for the next best thing and pleaded in a panicked girl's voice:
"If you must blow up the airship, can you take me with you? Don't blow me up with you?"

Take this "artificial intelligence" away?
Upon hearing Atefi128's proposal, a hint of interest appeared on Lyon's face.

Although the kingdom does not have anything like the "Internet" and the infrastructure is extremely lacking, there is nothing you can do if you take her away. At most, you can use her as a chat machine.

But this is an intelligent machine after all, and even for the Kingdom of Korok, it is a precious asset that cannot be replicated. It is better to take it away than to destroy it.

Not to mention that he also has a badge system. If he takes her away, he can get a badge of "Father of AI" or "Master of Intelligent Machinery"...

"Show me the way!"

After extinguishing the burning match in his hand, Leon warned:

"You'd better not play any tricks, and don't even think about stalling for time until the guards come up to rescue you. The blubber of the airship has begun to evaporate. It will explode immediately with just a spark. Once the guards come up, they can just shoot you and you will explode!"

"I know."

Atifi 128 said with some grievance:

"I just want to avoid being completely destroyed now, so I won't try these high-risk attempts... Please go to the control room as soon as possible. My most important core components and data are in the black 15-proof box behind the main console of the control room."

Leon frowned when he heard this, and then rushed to the control room while asking:

"What is that fifteen-proof black box?"

"It's a black 01-proof box. It's a large box that's resistant to high temperatures, water immersion, shock, ionization, impact... dust, and low temperatures. It's a storage container specially customized by Atifi to prevent us sub-bodies from getting damaged."

"But it can't protect against an explosion of this magnitude, or a direct fall from 700 meters in the sky, right?"

"Yes... When the Fifteen-Defense Box was designed, it was not considered that it would encounter such an extreme situation."

"No wonder."

Lyon couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"I was wondering why you didn't come out and talk before, but had to wait until I finished pouring the whale oil before showing up. You took the time to calculate carefully and found that you would definitely not survive if you fell after the explosion, so you got anxious, right?"

"Mr. Lyon, your statement is not accurate enough. We, the sub-bodies, are just a kind of operation logic that is difficult to replicate. We don't have the concept of life and death. We should be called destruction and maintenance."

"From now on, follow my instructions. If you are destroyed, you will die. If you are not destroyed, you will live."

"Okay, I will modify some of the corresponding words when communicating with you."

"Good... I'm already in the meeting room, what do I do next?"

"There are three anti-drop locks behind the main console."

Atifi128 spoke very quickly:
"Next, please take the key according to the operating manual, then open the locks one by one and completely remove the panel..."

"Crack!"

Using the power of the Holy Spirit Pendant, he scraped along the operating table and tore all the locks apart. Then, he used his arms to lift up the entire front panel, revealing a black box that was about 50 cm long and 30 cm wide, and connected to a bunch of strange equipment.

"Now that the panel is removed, what do you do next? Pull this box off directly?"

"According to the operating manual, we should deal with it first..."

"Just be quick, will you pull it out?"

"Pull out a part..." Leon was helplessly commanding. After removing the sound receiver connected to the copper tube, the hammer group used for sound, and the multi-faceted crystal on the operating table that looked a bit like a camera and could be twisted at multiple angles, Atifi 128 used the last small section of the copper pipe connected to the sounding hammer:
"Mr. Leon, I will be in a short hibernation. You can wake me up again by plugging a set of energy storage blocks dedicated to power armor into the circular interface behind the fifteenth defense box."

"I know. Go to sleep."

"Okay, then I..."

"Wait a mininute."

After holding the box containing Atifi 128 and waiting for a while, no badges such as "Father of Artificial Intelligence" were triggered. Leon hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"Can you call me daddy?"

"???"

……

"boom!"

With a deafening explosion, the huge airship with a total length of more than 7 meters at the top of the -shaped boarding tower suddenly burst into extremely violent flames.

In just over ten seconds, 300,000 cubic meters of hydrogen were completely ignited. The light blue flame with a temperature of over 2,000 degrees shot up nearly 100 meters high, burning most of the sky and illuminating the terrified faces of the soldiers below the boarding tower.

"It's on fire! The boat is on fire!"

"God..."

"Retreat! Don't go forward, retreat!"

Even though the officers were shouting at the top of their lungs to stop them, some soldiers who were not mentally strong enough could not help but stare at the tower in the distance with their mouths wide open as they looked at the horrific scene above their heads that seemed like a natural disaster.

Under the flames that surged like the tidal wave, the thick airbag of the airship, which would not leak even if stabbed with a knife, only lasted for a few breaths before half of it was burned off, revealing the inner support frame made of light alloy.

Soon after, even the metal support frame could not hold on and quickly deformed and broke under the terrifyingly high temperature. Some metals with low melting points were even directly burned into liquid and fell like raindrops.

As the internal support frame burned, the airship, which was nearly half the height of the boarding tower when erected, could no longer maintain its horizontal floating state and began to tilt. It seemed to fall slowly but surprisingly fast towards the boarding tower. Finally, it was directly entangled on it, turning the upper part of the boarding tower into a blue torch pointing to the sky.

It's over...completely over.

Looking at the nearly 100-meter-high azure flame at the top of the "torch", the faces of the guards responsible for guarding the boarding tower suddenly turned deathly pale.

This time, not only the airship parked in the secret port was burned, but even the most important boarding tower was creaking under the burning fire. Even though the boarding tower was made of special material and was not afraid of burning and would not be completely burned, it would probably take several months just to clean it out.

What's even more terrible is that when an accident of this magnitude occurred, the guards who were responsible for guarding the tower knew nothing about it. The fault here can no longer be described as simple dereliction of duty.

……

"Go! Follow me!!!"

After the hydrogen in the airbags was basically burned out and the fire weakened, the officers, whose future was already bleak, immediately called upon their soldiers and ran towards the boarding tower with bloodshot eyes, ready to see what had happened.

And at this critical moment, an extremely loud shout came from above everyone's head.

"My name is Nathan, and I'm the leader of that radical gang you're talking about!"

A figure whose face could not be seen clearly stood in the middle of the boarding tower and shouted loudly to the people below:

“I declare that I, Nathan, am responsible for this attack!

Also, from now on, I will declare war on the entire kingdom!"
