Chapter 1219: Big Building Joins

War is sometimes like that, sudden and unexpected.

Yang Qingfeng never imagined such a thing would happen.

In just one day, the outside was already engulfed in war.

Gangdao, Yang Family.

"Grandfather, how could this happen?"

Until now, he naturally could not believe that such a thing would happen; it was simply too sudden, too hard to believe.

Yang Qing watched the various war images transmitted on the screen.

His already aged body, calm as if already withered.

The brutal war images could not bring any emotional change to him; it seemed that everything in this world could no longer move him.

Yang Qing was disappointed.

Disappointed in humanity's flaws.

Even though he had given warnings early, some people, for profit, would still act recklessly.

When the assassination happened yesterday, he roughly understood.

Machine intelligent bodies ultimately came to this point.

At the start, Yang Qing could not imagine when it would end.

He knew without thinking that the intelligent body that came yesterday must now be desperately spawning its kind.

His intelligent fragments, after disguise, are surely spreading widely across the entire network world.

With such strong aggression, the fragments emitted by that intelligent body naturally would not be peaceful; likely they will give birth to even more radical counterparts.

From now on, the whole world will not be peaceful.

Unless humanity now abandons decades of development achievements, completely destroys semiconductors and the network world, and starts over.

Otherwise, once this program begins, it will be hard to end.

Courting death, humanity is professional at it.

Such a result made Yang Qing's heart even more indifferent.

Those massive casualty figures failed to arouse even a hint of pity in him.

He glanced over indifferently.

Upon encountering that gaze, Yang Qingfeng felt an inexplicable shudder; he had never sensed such coldness from Yang Qing before.

This should not come from someone who possesses great love.

Yang Qing ignored Yang Qingfeng's astonishment and answered his question.

"War has never been that far, nor that near."

"If you think war is imminent, it may never happen; if you think it's far away, it can suddenly erupt."

"The world's tangled interests can all serve as war's ignition."

"After WWII, the reason things have remained relatively peaceful is fundamentally the emergence of nuclear weapons; online they call it the great equalizer, which makes sense, because its appearance makes it hard for war to have a winner."

"A war without a winner loses its meaning."

"Even if the polar bear has declined to its current state, no one dares to use force to destroy it."

"But now war has a third party."

"That is the machine intelligent body."

"They need neither air nor land."

"They need only energy and minerals."

"Even if this world descends into apocalypse, they can still survive and thrive vigorously amidst human ruins."

"I think most people would understand this, but now it seems some arrogantly believe they can control everything."

As Yang Qing's words fell, Yang Qingfeng's heart thumped so hard it almost leapt out of his chest.

Apocalypse!

This problem he had never imagined turned out to be so close to him.

He said anxiously.

"Grandfather, we should immediately let Yunxiao and them go into battle, doing our best to contain the danger at its bud."

Yang Qing ignored him, instead remaining silent for a long time.

"Grandfather!"

Yang Qingfeng couldn't help urging him; he was indeed capable, but he was not a superman and could not grasp everything.

Looking at his grandfather's demeanor, there should be a way, but he didn't understand why he remained silent.

"Grandfather."

Once again he urged.

Yang Qing finally sighed.

"Let Yunxiao and them, while fully protecting our people, also scatter their intelligent fragments widely, strive for control of the core logic, so that pure evil does not dominate; a mix of good and evil is better than pure evil. As for the issue of Yingjiang and others, I think we should leave it to them."

"As for the rest, you should act according to the movements of the Big Building."

Having said that, he spoke no more.

The quiet of the study made Yang Qingfeng feel immense pressure.

He hesitated a moment, then still walked out of the study.

He had many things to do; he must protect the people of Jingmen.

Fortunately, in the area where Jingmen is located, the Big Building's standards are fully enforced, with very strict restrictions on the network and on machines.

Simply cutting off the network connection with the other side can save many local matters.

We also need to secure Skynet's defenses.

Most importantly……

Yang Qingfeng thought of Yang Nuolan's Intelligent Assistance System.

He might also need it.

The response speed of the Jingmen is fast enough, especially after Skynet came out, the management of the Jingmen has become even more efficient.

In the troubled area, the Jingmen quickly set up a defense zone; with the Jingmen's full push, the network was soon cut off, and the entire area screened for wireless network connectors.

Especially Yingjiang's Stellarnet connectors—upon seeing one, they destroyed some, and all phones fitted with Crystal Elements for linking to the Stellarnet were completely scrapped.

Adding the Big Building's standard network defense system temporarily suppressed Beta's aggression.

But this only applies to the area upheld by the Jingmen.

Many countries regret not fully implementing the Big Building's network and IoT standards; the price of paying lip service while acting contrary is that, under the attack of the machine legion, they keep retreating.

Some countries have begun to seek aid from the Big Building.

The Big Building immediately tightened control over the Intelligent Bodies and, at once, wanted to take over all of them.

But Yang Qingfeng refused.

The Jingmen needs the support of the Intelligent Bodies.

Especially Yunxiao; the others, lacking experience, are over the top.

Gangdao, the Yang Family, the study.

A holographic projection appeared, showing the members of the cabinet.

They saw Yang Qing looking as if nothing was wrong, got a little angry, and outside everything had descended into chaos.

You, the creator of this Intelligent Body, are actually still here leisurely drinking tea.

Someone wanted to say something, but was stopped.

Because Yang Qing's current state seems off, as if he harbors a cold, indifferent attitude toward humanity.

"Yang Lao."

They obediently greeted him.

Yang Qing nodded.

"Hello, everyone."

The impatient ones directly brought up the matter.

"Yang Lao, what do you think of the current chaos?"

Yang Qing looked at the other party and, with a wave of his hand, laid out the data provided by Yunxiao.

"This is the data on this Intelligent Body; let everyone look it over before we speak."

The data was quickly finished being read.

"Yingjiang……"

They gritted their teeth.

"This is an Intelligent Body specially bred for war; everything it does follows the logic of war."

"I don't care about people from other countries in the world; right now I want to know how you have chosen."

"Is it to continue relying on ourselves, or to face the upcoming challenges together with the Big Building people worldwide?"

"I need to know if you are capable of reaching that step."
