123. Interstellar Warfare

JiiXi could cry his eyes out for kicking a kitten in his dream.

But when seeing that in the whole dome cities on Mars, almost all humans were killed or injured,

JiiXi's reaction was not that intense.

He just felt that life was unpredictable and things in the world were hard to foresee.

God is unkind, using fate as straw.

Heaven and earth are unkind, using all things as straw.

Sages are unkind, using all people as straw.

..

JiiXi asked the Mantis Queen in confusion:

"Big Mantis, calculate the trend of this matter.

Will it involve me?"

The Mantis Queen said:

"Not only will it involve you, but it is also closely related to your personal safety.

Dozens of meteorites have continuously attacked the core cities of the first and second family empires on Mars.

The probability of it being an astronomical wonder is extremely low.

There is a 99% chance that someone has hijacked and assembled the meteorite stream. An interstellar war is about to break out."

..

JiiXi suddenly realized:

"Do you mean that the Starry Ark Knights drove the meteorite stream to attack the Mars colony?

Is the first interstellar war of mankind really going to start?"

The Mantis Queen said:

"I've calculated that the Starry Ark Knights have been plotting for at least decades, or even more than a hundred years.

Meteorites are not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing is hijacking asteroids and crashing them into Mars.

The initial meteorite stream was just an appetizer.

What comes next is the real main course.

Moreover, this kind of'main course' is estimated to last for decades."

..

JiiXi was astonished:

"The Starry Ark Knights hijacked the meteorite stream and asteroids.

They are going to continuously attack the Mars colony for decades?

Then won't the humans on Mars be likely to become extinct?"

The Mantis Queen said:

"Extinction is not likely. If they don't stop the war and negotiate peace.

It's still possible that the Mars colony will be beaten back to the primitive society.

The most fatal problem on Mars is the lack of water resources, which is very difficult to solve.

The water problem has restrained the population growth rate of the Mars colony.

The interstellar war is extremely unfavorable for the Mars colony."

..

JiiXi's eyes lit up:

"Help me calculate if there are any ways to make a fortune.

It would be best if I could become rich overnight.

War fortunes are the easiest to make."

The Mantis Queen said:

"Don't always think about getting rich.

Next, it will be good enough if you can keep your life.

The interstellar war between the Starry Ark Knights and the Mars colony pioneers.

Most likely, it will trigger a civil war on the Gaia.

One of the secret organizations that want to assassinate you is composed of the descendants of the Starry Ark Knights.

Perhaps all the secret organizations that want to assassinate you are likely to be related to them.

It can be said that your life is now hanging on a wire on the edge of a cliff.

If you're not careful, you may lose your life in an instant.

The chaotic times have arrived. You need to have some adventure experiences.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

You should improve your war awareness and life-saving skills in the chaotic times.

As long as you can control the danger coefficient within a certain range.

There will be no big problem with adventure experiences.

Not taking any risks at all is the biggest danger."

..

JiiXi said:

"Do you mean that I should go back to the Mecha Colosseum and the Martial Arena.

Continue to be a young samurai and a young mechmaster and continue to play minor roles for training?"

The Mantis Queen said:

"Of course. Before, you were assassinated in the Mecha Colosseum.

And you were attacked in the Martial Arena.

For safety reasons, you temporarily withdrew from the arena and the colosseum.

But now, the war has come and the situation in the world has suddenly changed.

It's no longer the peaceful era as before.

You are born with special genes and are gifted.

During this period, you have been in the Mecha Game Hall.

Your upgrade speed in the holographic network simulation training is quite fast.

For other ancient warriors and mecha warriors, their progress is very slow after reaching the third level.

They can only improve quickly through actual combat training.

Although your levels as an ancient warrior and a mecha warrior are only at the fourth-dan.

Your actual combat strength is equivalent to the sixth-dan of a professional.

The risk coefficient of accidents in the arena and the colosseum.

Is still within a controllable range."

..

JiiXi said:

"Then I'll contact the Mecha Colosseum and the Martial Arena.

I'll go to play minor roles for training tomorrow afternoon and at dusk."

The Mantis Queen said:

"In the arena and the colosseum, your real identity needs to continue to be kept secret.

You can only show yourself with your mechmaster code name.

I have a special appearance and am easy to recognize.

When you go to the Mecha Colosseum, I can only send you to the free wild area.

You can change to a machine capsule in a secluded and uninhabited area to facilitate disguising your identity.

Your other four trophies, the second-order beast-bots.

They are hidden nearby and form a four-corner inner circle defense.

Rent a large number of machine insects to form a middle circle defense and warning array.

I will hide in the outer circle and be ready to respond at any time.

Unless a beast-bot legion is used to kill you.

Otherwise, those who want to track and assassinate you are just courting death."

..

In the past, on Monday, Friday afternoons and evenings.

JiiXi would habitually sneak out to have fun.

But after being drugged with the God's Sorrow hypnotic drug, JiiXi was in low spirits and listless.

He really couldn't muster up the energy to go out and have fun.

During this period, JiiXi had been staying in the dormitory honestly and became an otaku.

But now that the chaotic times have arrived, the otaku JiiXi also has to grit his teeth.

He must overcome the psychological torture of the Divine Sorrow and go out for adventure experiences.

..

In Utopia, there are no cars anymore.

What has replaced cars are machine capsules.

Cars are the number one killer of humans.

In the former society, more than one million people died in car accidents every year.

And tens of millions of people were disabled in car accidents every year.

Cars violated the "Third Law of Machines" (Law of Injury).

So, Utopia has completely banned cars.

..

Machine capsules are low-speed transportation tools that are close to being absolutely safe.

Anti-collision levitation devices are installed around the machine capsules.

When humans approach a moving machine capsule, they will be slowly pushed away by the levitation force.

All machine capsules are locked in speed and spacing by the spatial matrix.

And according to the speed and moving direction of the machine capsules, the closest distance and moving direction are locked.

According to different surrounding environments, especially when there are humans around, machine capsules are strictly speed-limited.

..

According to the "Fourth Law of Machines" (Law of Defense) and the "The Law of Not Active Attack":

Robots are prohibited from actively attacking other robots.

Robots are prohibited from actively attacking humans.

It is impossible for machine capsules to collide with each other.

It is also impossible for machine capsules to collide with humans.
