Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1888 - 983: Amber_3

The saying goes, focus on actions rather than intentions, as there are no perfect people. Everyone harbors a darker side, and after Zero had witnessed those innumerable dark sides, she felt that humanity had no reason to exist, and everyone should be judged.

But at the moment of her decisive battle with humanity, she suddenly found that those humans were completely different from what she knew. In despair, they abandoned all dark sides. When they had no hope left, they left hope for others.

Therefore, Zero told Qing Ye that she understood the meaning of ”the work can be accomplished without my presence” better than him and others, because it was those words that defeated her.

Now, the spirit and will exhibited by Li Yunshou and Li Changqing of the Li Family made Zero feel a sense of déjà vu.

However, the last time she felt this was from the opposing side, and now she watches her ’allies’ charging into battle, which is a bit strange.

She sat on the command seat, her fingers tapping on the armrest in the holographic projection: ”Let me play too.”

In an instant, the drone hive on the Qing Shan Ship opened!

Previously, she had ordered Li Changqing and the others to evacuate. The drone swarm on the Aerial Fortress had been abandoned before even being used, but now she activated all these drones as if they were her new toys.

On the floating airship, Li Su looked at the holographic sand table and suddenly shouted, ”Wait, wasn’t the Qing Shan Ship supposed to be empty? Why has the drone hive suddenly opened? Who’s controlling them?”

One by one, teardrop-shaped drones suddenly flew out, equipped with pulse engines, known for their small size and fast speed.

Originally, there were tens of thousands of drones, but now only a little more than three thousand remained after being destroyed.

Yet, those drones’ blue pulse engines, in the night sky, resembled a blue torrent, forming an orderly assault formation.

When thousands of drones formed a spiral formation in the sky, it was a unique aesthetic.

Previously, operating drones required thousands of crew members, meaning there was always some disorder when coordinating in battle.

Once, Qing Chen and Yi piloted the Kingslander to the West Continent, where Yi clumsily controlled drones in combat.

The Duke of Storm City handed the recording to Zero, asking her to analyze if there was artificial intelligence present in that battle.

However, Zero demonstrated a more skilled combat method to the Duke of Storm City, showing what an artificial intelligence battle truly looked like. In that battle, Zero, with the damaged Kingslander and drones, ultimately decapitated the flagship where Black Spider resided, performing a miracle.

It was something humans could not achieve.

And now, she reenacted it all in the sky.

The Phoenix Air Fortress fired several rounds of its main firepower gun at the drone swarm, yet the spiral vortex formed by the drones suddenly and precisely dispersed.

In the river they formed, it was as if several black holes suddenly appeared, and the ballistic trajectory of the Phoenix Air Fortress’s main firepower gun just happened to pass through these black holes, not hitting a single drone!

The blue spiral vortex became faster and faster, gradually surpassing Li Changqing’s floating airship.

Li Changqing silently watched these drones: ”It’s Zero controlling these drones... Is this the method of artificial intelligence? Even with just a tenth of the power left, it can be used to tenfold effect.”

Li Su, who had also controlled the drones of the Aerial Fortress, now saw the drone swarm behaving as if in an uninhabited territory, and he felt a sense of ”Oh, so drones can be used this way.”

It’s like when humans played Go with artificial intelligence for the first time, a feeling of ”Oh, so Go can be played this way” emerged.

In the next moment, the drone swarm encountered the fleet of floating airships from the West Continent, they splintered into many parts, transforming from a stream into countless stars across the sky in an instant.

Groups of three drones dispersed to battle.

A floating airship from the West Continent had just locked onto three drones in front of it, while three others had already circled behind, destroying the airship’s power cabin.

This force of over three thousand drones split into over a thousand small squads, each seeming to have its own thoughts and precise goals, intertwining their objectives on the battlefield, creating such swift changes that no one could fully grasp what those drones intended to do.

Momentarily, hundreds of floating airships from the West Continent seemed to be struggling to cope.

Their floating airships were also equipped with tens of thousands of drones, yet when they deployed them, they behaved like headless flies, completely at Zero’s mercy.

Inside the West Continent fleet, the temporarily appointed Duke of Phoenix ordered: ”Detonate all our drones and complete fire coverage over the entire airspace.”

The explosion’s power of the drones was not significant, and the protective plates of the floating airships could withstand it, but Zero’s drones could not.

However, Zero seemed to know in advance what the Duke of Phoenix would choose, and before the drones could self-destruct, she swiftly withdrew her own drone swarm from the battlefield!

Countless bursts of fire ignited the sky, the intense burning making the surrounding hundred kilometers as bright as day, yet under this fire coverage, over three hundred of Zero’s drones survived.

They crossed the barrier formed by the floating airships, heading straight for the Phoenix Air Fortress!

However, drone missiles struck the protective armor of the Phoenix Air Fortress, without causing the slightest ripple.

After all, drones are still drones. Their attack power is insignificant compared to the Aerial Fortress; they were designed to target floating airships, not aerial fortresses.
