Chapter 118: Nano Girl!
But how could the Trojan Horse scheme devised by such a massive purification project, the result of a month's work by thousands of Librarians in Omega's joint research collective, be easily broken?
In a technologically advanced city on the mainland, littered with corpses and pools of blood, the entire city, infected by the information Trojan Horse, began its next phase of operations.
Countless nanoweapons flowed out from the invisible cracks of the city, constantly coalescing like streaks of red blood. In midair, countless lines of blood flowed out from all parts of the city like water, and the blood gradually fell to the ground due to gravity.
A silver-pink spherical object was revealed, with numerous blood vessels still gathering from all over the city. At this moment, a Thunderhawk gunship flew in from the distant horizon, with a black alloy metal box hanging below. It landed directly on the silver-pink nanoweapon condensate that was floating in midair and covered it.
A clear metallic sound rang out, and the Thunderhawk gunship, like a soaring eagle, headed straight for the blazing sun in space.
This phenomenon occurred in the skies above cities across the Reinharden continent, with Thunderhawk gunships carrying nanoweapons rapidly approaching the sun.
At this time, in a human city spanning hundreds of kilometers and close to another continent, most of the city's inhabitants were infected with the bleeding disease and were bleeding and dying rapidly.
Those who were not infected were already in a state of panic.
Along the border between the two continents, there were already isolation barriers set up by the Alpha Legion.
As countless people in the city suffered from hemorrhagic plague, experiencing pain, fear, and despair, streaks of red blood rapidly flowed from their bodies, a sight that terrified those who were bleeding.
But the countless blood vessels paid no heed to these people, flowing rapidly towards the city center. In the air between countless tall buildings in the city, numerous red blood streaks flew by, causing widespread fear.
The bloodstreaks converged on the roof of a tall hospital building, and gradually, a silver-pink robot resembling a young nurse began to take shape.
Watching the gunships speed away into the distant sky, the nano-consciousness felt many of its parts leave. The silver-pink hair rippled with countless strands, appearing almost alive. The nano girl gazed at the sky, as if she could see the massive human fleet through the atmosphere.
With her blood-red eyes gleaming, the nano girl quietly spoke. "Damn humans, don't think you can defeat me like this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, numerous body parts began to fall out of control. The nano girl tried to purify them using her vast intelligence and logic, but to no avail. Meanwhile, the mutated nanomachines exchanged information with countless other nanomachines within her body.
The nano girl's body was gradually collapsing, and the potent information purification virus seemed to be constantly stripping away her consciousness. Seeing this, the nano-consciousness was very surprised.
Just a while ago, the other party was begging her to spare the humans on this continent, but now she was in danger of falling into a deep sleep.
She knew very well that the Alpha Legion would not simply put her to sleep like her master, who died in the Dark Age, but would throw her entirely into the sun. The AI's survival instinct left her no time to think further.
Countless parts of her body detached, leaving only her brain unchanged. However, many nanomachines soon fell off. To protect herself, the nano girl decisively shut down and put her still-conscious core into a dormant state.
Whoosh!
The head of the 1.74-meter-tall, silver-metallic nurse scattered onto the ground, and, at a microscopic level, tens of thousands of nanobugs could be seen disappearing into the ground within a few seconds. These tens of thousands of nanobots remained motionless, as if their computer had crashed.
Nearly a billion nanobots on the ground mutated after being infected by the information virus. After the mutation, they floated up, then coalesced into a silver-pink metallic sphere.
Not long after, a Thunderhawk gunship flew in, and a black metal box descended and sealed the sphere. Then the gunship flew straight toward the dazzling sun in the sky.
Within the beautiful, swirling white atmosphere of the planet Faran, one hundred and twenty-three Thunderhawk gunships could be seen soaring into space. Once in space, a space warship over a thousand meters long directly towed over a hundred Thunderhawk gunships toward the sun.
Once they were close to the sun, over a hundred Thunderhawk gunships, each carrying a black metal box, plunged into the eternal sun, whose heat was terrifying and astonishing.
No matter how bizarre the nanobots were, the crashed gunships exploded and burned to ashes. The sun's extreme heat melted the black metal boxes and the nano-metal spheres they contained into nothing.
...
High above the planet Faran, Omega stood by the giant window, watching the scene unfold from afar, only feeling relieved after hearing the report that the cleanup was complete.
Considering that this time they were dealing with relics from the Dark Age of Technology, especially the terrifying nanorobots, Omega had shown no mercy in crafting his information virus, even adding fragments of code and logic designed to dominate AI systems.
Even so, Omega was still worried that the other party could resist, so he tried to consider all aspects as thoroughly as possible. The second step was to load the infected, mutated nano-metal spheres and throw them directly into the sun, abandoning even the gunships, because he was worried about the possibility of tiny nano-mechanical insects escaping.
Subsequent test reports indicated that the pilots were all safe and showed no signs of nanoweapons on their bodies. No one could be sure whether the threat had been completely eradicated. They could only observe afterward to see if the hemorrhagic disease would recur on the Reinharden continent.
...
One month later, on the continent of Reinharden, the Imperial Army, the Mechanicum Skitarii, and Space Marines were everywhere, using super-high-temperature plasma flames to clean up any suspicious places in major cities and burn countless corpses that had died from hemorrhagic plague.
Under the blazing sun, flames engulfed over a hundred cities across the continent, and countless corpses were reduced to ashes by the ion flames.
In the square of a vast city, Skol, clad in power armor, was shocked by the scene of corpses being burned everywhere. A gunship flew down from the sky, and Omega stepped out.
"Primarch, the danger here hasn't been confirmed yet. Why did you take the risk?"
"A month without a recurrence of hemorrhagic plague indicates we've successfully eliminated the enemy. You can come, why can't I? It's fine!"
The square, bathed in sunlight, was quite empty, save for the slightly sooty dust all around. Omega looked around at the deserted city. Apart from the soldiers of the Alpha Legion, he didn't see a single living person.
The hemorrhagic epidemic on the continent of Reinharden was resolved, but countless people had died. Although the Alpha Legion successfully used the purification program to eliminate countless nanoweapons, numerous ordinary people had already passed, and many more who did not receive treatment also died one after another in the past month.
The entire continent had only about three hundred million people left, and it would take a long time to burn all the dead. The war on Faran was not as dramatic as the Legion soldiers had imagined.
Instead, many Imperial Army soldiers fell silent after witnessing the planet's devastation and quietly helped rebuild it.
Meanwhile, good news also came from the squadrons dispatched to other star systems in the sector. With the help of people like Kroll in the core star system, these star systems trusted the Alpha Legion and, with the Legion's assistance, gradually quelled the chaos and rapidly reorganized planetary governments for governance.
In less than six months, the Alpha Legion had perfectly quelled the rebellion, and the information was reported to the Council of Terra for them to take over.
Upon hearing of the terrifying nanoweapon incident, the Council of Terra seriously entrusted the planet Faran to the Alpha Legion for management, and no official from the Imperial government was willing to come to Faran.
These invisible microweapons left even the Alpha Legion shaken after dealing with them, let alone the Imperial government officials who were powerless to counter them. If this nanoweapon were accidentally brought to another planet or Terra itself, one would become a sinner for all time.
Due to the extreme danger of the nanoweapon incident, Malcador the Sigillite personally sent a message ordering the Alpha Legion, which was preparing to withdraw, to remain in the Dioran sector for a year, on the grounds that he would observe for a period of time to confirm that there was no danger.
The vast, dark expanse of space surrounded Omega as he heard this news, and he was infuriated.
"It's as if we've contracted a plague! Everyone says we're fine, but why doesn't anyone on the Council of Terra believe us!"
