For such obvious targets, the Space Airship directly bombed them with troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Space Airship is more inclined to ensure stability and order in control zones, maintaining stability in the rear...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temporary stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: Ellis has recently issued some wartime production mandates, basically, they want to produce more Space Airships.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: On our side... to be honest, I think the situation is not optimistic.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, the deterrence of aircraft carriers was quite strong, as these massive military units could greatly enhance military projection capabilities, wherever they go, that place becomes the frontline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in front of the Space Airship, which replaces it, the aircraft carrier is just a floating target on the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The products of the Atlas Group are indeed good, but even the most formidable prosthetics, the most formidable soldiers, find it hard to face the intensive bombing of Space Airships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Martin raised his question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: Mr. President, I heard that in the areas controlled by the illegal government, they are pushing for industrialization without limits.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: There is such intelligence. Our aircraft have observed that those places frequently experience massive explosions, thick black smoke, and the air quality is very poor...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: So poor that we can hardly see inside.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: What about our proud intelligence system? Send some agents! Do I need to teach you this?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: ...The intelligence system is almost entirely theirs, you overestimate me, Martin.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: Impossible... In this day and age, such a large area, not a single piece of information can come out?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skye thought of something and chimed in, \"Actually... it’s not impossible. The boss once showed me some simulated situations to get me to study ctOS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a new type of city control system, if ctOS is promoted without restrictions, it can fully control information flow within the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least until those outside the system master advanced technological skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin said emphatically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: It seems Ellis’s allies have realized such a system.

If Ellis uses high-tech for high-pressure governance within the control zone, crime is bound to be an option... I remember they also like fully automated production?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: Using such drastic methods to eliminate the workforce will definitely spark public outrage, but unarmed civilians find it hard to resist...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: If it were before, I would absolutely refute your \"unarmed\" stance, but there is indeed a weapons control policy in Ellis’s policies.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: But I recall Lille also advocates weapon control?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: Times have changed, Mr. President, you’re too rigid. Moreover, Lille’s true stance... is complicated, let’s not speculate.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: Back to the previous topic, no matter what, a war without intelligence cannot be won. We need intelligence...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: Since the professional intelligence personnel are not on our side, we can only find some agents ourselves.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No professionals were present; these agents need strong personal abilities to break through the disadvantageous zero-intelligence situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, Barnes indeed has a suitable candidate, and he immediately thought of this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: I agree with you, a battle can’t be won without intelligence... but you want Captain Carter to smuggle and act as an agent?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: We have no choice; she is the best among us.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: Excellent, we will send Carter to be an agent, to smuggle... quite ironic, if she weren’t British, we should have called her Captain America.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: I will... send a small team to carry out this task, to smuggle, to incite criminal activities.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: Though I don’t think it’s right.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: You’re too rigid, Mr. President. When the law becomes a tool of systematic oppression, crime is a legitimate defense.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: How strange, this doesn’t sound like something a financial tycoon would say.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: We need to support those in the Ellis Government controlled state, with weapons, they will know what to do.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: This small team also needs a technician... prosthetics, information systems, both need knowledgeable experts.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Martin paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had candidates in mind, but he still hoped someone would volunteer, which would give him great confidence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn’t expect was that everyone in the room raised their hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Otto, Professor Conners, Dr. Tumus, Michael, Skye, Peter, and even the intern Gwen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could even form a team themselves to be dispatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: ...There’s a change, we’ll send two small teams.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: The more people, the better.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: Lastly, with time running short, let’s talk about Lille.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: Congratulations on his success in Latovia, but an agricultural country can’t help us much. When can he come back?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: He has his own plans, we need to focus on doing our jobs well.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: I received an intelligence report from an unknown source, indicating that the north of Latovia is preparing for formal military strikes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: It may involve a special operations unit similar to the Space Airship, I hope Lille can receive this message.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: ...Under what name or organization?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: Military alliances, but according to this unknown source, these political changes may be influenced by an organization called the \"Red House\"...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The communication paused for a few seconds, then Martin replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: Is this really intelligence from an unknown source? I thought you were hiding something.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Barnes: ...It really is an unknown source, but I think they are allies.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Martin: I understand... It seems it really is going to become a world war.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1192,"2026-06-03T12:33:36.383Z","2026-06-03T12:33:42.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","31ec952b72df4c2a3c4367299674b42c34631b0fc746470d59fc352bcaa49304","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-822","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-820",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
