Chapter 330: Chapter 329: Feigned Surrender Plan (Three Updates!)

Zhang Yuan’s pupils slightly dilated.

As the staff connected a thick cable, in that instant, the Pangu Brain erupted like a massive Sun, suddenly appearing in the darkness, exposed before all the digital viruses!

A sudden appearance of an untainted land, unparalleled computing power in contrast to what was already occupied, was like the difference between a bright moon and fireflies.

This caused all the Digital Life “Ten-thousand-year Worms” to start a real riot!

Streams of digital floods surged along the fiber optic crazily rushing in, filling up every large screen, Zhang Yuan involuntarily swallowed, his heart pounding.

Digital warfare, although lacking smoke and fire, was also perilously dangerous and…

Theoretically, it separates winners and losers extremely quickly.

6.2 seconds later, 108 human-prepared virtual worlds about to collapse were filled with Ten-thousand-year Worms, and Qi Sensen witnessed their collapse!

This type of collapse gave Zhang Yuan an incomparably refreshing feeling in his heart, including all the scientists who, in previous research, loathed such collapses of virtual worlds because it meant all their efforts were in vain, but now…

Refreshing!

12.4 seconds later, another 45 virtual worlds from the second batch experienced collapses, killing untold numbers of Ten-thousand-year Worms!

18.6 seconds later, the remaining Digital Life only filled 12 worlds.

24.8 seconds later, traces of this Digital Life were only detected in five worlds…

One virtual world after another kept rebooting, then quickly collapsed, each collapse taking a significant number of Digital Life with it.

A group of people held their breath, staring at the screen for a whole 2 hours, the entire cycle repeatedly occurring. Gradually, more Digital Life were lured in, and after the explosion of the virtual worlds, they all turned into a pool of lifeless programs.

Until the lured Digital Life began to dwindle, and later not even a Ten-thousand-year Worm would appear every three to five minutes.

Zhang Yuan fiercely knocked on the desk, this digital war probably… succeeded!

Yamamoto excitedly said, “According to the super-high reproduction ability of this Digital Life, if there are still some in the outside world, they will inevitably reproduce in large numbers, then re-enter the Pangu Brain’s virtual world.”

“I don’t believe these damn things have intelligence, know how to seek advantage and avoid harm, otherwise, this battle couldn’t have been fought, humans might as well have surrendered.”

“However, Captain Sir, I suggest, capture a small amount of digital viruses, for a series of studies. A small amount of digital viruses have limited destructive power and are easier to monitor…”

Zhang Yuan glanced at him, frowning. These digital viruses were too dangerous.

Yamamoto hurriedly explained, “I just think it’s a pity to completely eliminate them.”

“We have little understanding of Digital Life, these viruses should be the simplest type of weapon, even if we cannot decipher their secrets, we should still study them, at least to understand the precautions. If we encounter this situation again in the future, being prepared would be good…”

Many surrounding experts also showed the same expression, the virus caused such great destruction that if they couldn’t recover some benefit from it, it genuinely felt somewhat unwilling. Moreover, if there’s no way to find preventive measures, how should humans respond when encountering an interstellar civilization again? Avoid any communication with the opponent altogether?

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Yuan said, “Then, be careful, we must control their reproduction rate, don’t let it break out again! Especially since we are still in a state of war.”

Another scientist quickly waved his hand, “No, no, after we capture this virus, we will encase it in an isolated biological computer, that should be fine.”

Thus, after another hour, no traces of Digital Life could be detected anymore, and everyone in the office let out a cheer.

The digital viruses invading Kunlun Mountain had been cleaned up, allowing numerous computers to be restarted.

Zhang Yuan immediately yelled at a soldier at the door, “Inform the people outside, the digital virus has been completely eliminated, try to reboot the entire network system!”

But in that instant, he suddenly seemed to realize something else, “No, no, it’s not yet time for a full counterattack, wait a bit longer, endure for a bit longer.”

Now was not the time for a large counterattack, but rather…

The most dangerous moment!

Communications within Kunlun Mountain would soon be restored, and humans would be immediately able to launch a large counterattack, that was certainly fine…

But!

The distance between the ships of both parties was too close, so close that they could easily destroy each other!

If they could mutually deter each other, then fine, but the problem was, the restoration of Kunlun Mountain would take some time, they couldn’t even achieve mutual deterrence. Especially since five major control rooms were seized by the opponents…

Zhang Yuan anxiously paced back and forth, analyzing various difficulties.

Some military experts also discussed this issue: “The opponent’s advantage is still significant, even if humans win the battles inside Kunlun Mountain, can’t the enemy just run away?”

“This Alien Civilization now refrains from using heavy weapons, aiming to slowly exterminate humans, in order to obtain Kunlun Mountain more completely, reaping greater benefits.”

“What will they do when they discover the digital virus has been cleaned and they can no longer obtain this spaceship?”

“For their own safety, taking advantage of the fact that humans have not fully recovered, it’s not impossible for them to directly destroy Kunlun Mountain with a nuclear bomb, it’s a likely event!”

What to do?

Must come up with a way to stop this possibility!

“Bang!” A military liaison officer slammed his fist down on the desk, but he couldn’t think of a better solution.

“I have a plan, we… should surrender,” after a while, Zhang Yuan stopped in his tracks and squeezed the words through his teeth.

In the stunned silence of everyone present, he added, “Pretend to surrender!”

“The opponent’s occupied area is completely without power, they still don’t know we’ve already cleaned up the digital virus, this is our only information advantage. Find a way to notify the surrounding Guardian Fleet, and have them coordinate with our plan…”

…

Over twenty Escort Ships had been navigating a few million kilometers outside Kunlun Mountain, influenced by significant gravitational disturbances, the entire squadron had completely disintegrated, and started to act independently. Adding the difficulty of mutual communication and the damaged control systems, along with the harassment from enemy drones, adjusting their trajectory and regrouping was easier said than done.

Fortunately, the space in this area was expansive enough that the number of enemy drones, although numerous, was insufficient, allowing human spaceships to hold out for such a long duration.

One nuclear fireball after another appeared in the starry sky, the battle between human Escort Ships and enemy drones continued to rage on.
