Mexico, Nuevo Laredo:

  Whoosh—


  A streak of white light tore through the starry sky.

  Many citizens in the city woke up to the noise. When they opened their windows and saw the sundered sky, they repeatedly cried out the word “UFO.” This situation created an unusual commotion in the small industrial city.

  “Dog, is it here?” After flying along a highway for half a minute in the E·I Force Field, Chen Yu halted. Looking at his phone, he said, “I don’t see any trucks here.”


  “It doesn’t matter whether there are trucks or not. Just look at the condition of the road,” the husky replied from the other side of the phone.

  “Okay.”


  Lowering to an altitude of 300 meters, Chen Yu relied on his keen eyes to look at the bumpy road below. Immediately, he grew excited and said, “The degree of damage is severe. It seems this road has experienced a lot of traffic.”


  “That settles it, then. Wait for me.’


  In the distant Jinzhou City, the husky looked out at the sun outside the window. It then tapped Little Peach’s shoulder with its paw and said, “Get me a satellite image of Nuevo Laredo.”


  “What are you trying to do?”


  “You won’t understand even if I tell you. Just get it for me.”


  Frowning, Little Peach slid and clicked her mouse a few times, opening a real-time satellite video of Nuevo Laredo and enlarging it.

  “Hmm……” Narrowing its eyes, the husky observed the video for a moment before speaking into the phone, “There is a mining area thirty kilometers north of your location. The enemy’s factory is there. It should have a certain degree of protection, but you don’t need to care too much about it since you’re fully geared in god-tier equipment. Just blast it to smithereens.”


  “OK.”


  Seeing Chen Yu moving rapidly on the screen, the husky found a comfortable position to sit down and began smoking a cigar.

  “Why are you so certain the enemy’s factory is in that mining area?” Little Peach asked.

  “Ores are resources. If you don’t set up a factory in a mining area, where would you set it up? An amusement park?”


  “An amusement park?!” Little Peach’s eyes immediately glowed at the husky’s words. “That’s a good place!”


  “.……Regardless of how unimportant your role is, you are still playing one of the main roles in this story. Can you not look so stupid in front of me?” The husky sighed……

  Bang!

  In the night sky of Mexico……

  The E·I Force Field came to an abrupt halt at Chen Yu’s command, bringing along with it a deafening sonic boom to this area. The hundreds of sensor lights on the helmet he wore brightly illuminated up the dark factory area.

  “Nobody’s here. It seems the factory is in a break period.”


  “That’s because the enemy knows you’re coming, so they halted their work to conceal themselves. If it is a factory that doesn’t operate at night, there should be plenty of birds gathered in the surrounding area. And if there are birds, the sonic boom your arrival made would’ve scared them off.”


  “But I hardly saw any birds just now,” Chen Yu said, nodding.

  “Yes. This proves that the noise level here has been incredibly high before your arrival. Fire away.”


  “Wait a second. I’ll see if there is anyone inside.”


  “As you wish, but I am 99% certain there is nobody in the factory,” the husky said as it spat out a smoke ring. It then disconnected the call and muted the laptop’s volume. Afterward, it looked at Little Peach and said sternly, “From now onward, monitor the flow of information around the factory. Don’t ignore even one kilobyte of information. Capture everything and download it. Afterward, cut off the internet of the computer. You need to be quick.”


  “What are you trying to do?”


  “Don’t ask. Just hurry up.”


  Nodding skeptically, Little Peach activated both processors in her brain. Her hands then transformed into a blur as she began rapidly typing away at the keyboard.

  Five seconds later.

  “Done!” After pressing down the final key, Little Peach turned off the laptop’s WiFi connection and said, “I caught quite a large amount of data. I used the P2P protocol and mobilized many supercomputers to do it. Is that fine?”


  “It doesn’t matter so long as you managed to secure the data.” Jumping off of its seat, the husky manually unplugged the home network cable. It then continued giving out commands, “Sort through the downloaded data and locate all IP addresses related to the data. Now that the artificial intelligence’s factory is under attack, it will definitely issue a warning to the surrounding factories. So long as we can locate these IP addresses, we can determine the location of these factories.”


  “It’s a little cumbersome. I need to code a program for this.”


  “Don’t worry. Take your time,” the husky said. It then redialed Chen Yu’s phone number and said, “How is it? Are there any people in the factory?”


  “None. I scanned it with thermal imaging.”


  On the other side of the phone, Chen Yu calmly removed the 26th-century multifunctional interactive helmet from his head and ascended into the air in the E·I Force Field. He then silently opened the delivery box in his hand and pulled out a strangely shaped rifle.

  [Obedient Tiger Water Gun: Produced by the Obedient Tiger Cub Educational Toys Co., Ltd. in 3933. The gun’s body is made of retro 404 stainless steel. The gun has a built-in 4,000kWh electric motor and can launch 920 high-energy expanding water bullets per second. (Note: The bullets are made of safe crystal bullets. They will disintegrate upon collision. The water contained within the bullets is tasteless, colorless, and safe for consumption.) The selling price is 420 points.]

  Tear.

  After removing the plastic packaging, Chen Yu held up the rifle and aimed it at the factory. After remaining silent for three seconds, he pulled the trigger.

  Du, du, du……

  “.……”


  Rumble!

  In an instant, the earth shook, and flames rose from the factory.

  Subsequently, a mushroom cloud slowly expanded and covered the entirety of the large factory.

  “I heard explosions. Is it done?” the husky asked through the phone.

  “It’s done.”


  “Did you see any robots when you went down there?”


  “I did. They’re all specialized robots. Your conjecture is completely correct.”


  “Before you leave, see if there are any survivors. Bring them back for Hermione to research them. I also want to take a look at them to see the industrial art of an artificial intelligence.”


  “Okay.”


  Nodding, Chen Yu ignored the scorching flames and flew into the factory area. After standing in a relatively “cool” area and observing his surroundings for some time, he quickly closed the E·I Force Field, picked up a pile of scrap, and stored the scrap into a high-pressure storage box. He then promptly reactivated the force field.

  Bang!

  The next moment, a bullet struck the force field’s surface and exploded into a plume of purplish-red flames.

  “It seems not everything is dead.”


  Du, du, du!

  Boom!

  Rumble!

  Rumble, rumble……

  Mushroom clouds bloomed one after another, forming a group of frightening patterns that were instantly recognized by the hundreds of satellites outside the atmosphere.

  “Dog, where to next?”


  “Give me another half a minute…… Got it. It’s still in Mexico. It’s a steel plant located 72 kilometers east of the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City. Make sure to be polite when you visit.”


  Raising his phone, Chen Yu asked, “Are there any more?”


  “Yes. I found 42 factories. Most of them are in America. They’re more than enough to occupy you for the entire night. Oh, by the way, I’m guessing that the AI will definitely further encrypt the IP addresses of its bases to prevent me from tracking them down. When you arrive in Mexico City, find the local authorities and ask them for the local steel mills’ purchase list and tax reports. If I have those, I can search for transactions with the same parameters around the world and locate the other manufacturing plants.”


  “Dog, you’re a real piece of work.”


  “Of course. Artificial intelligence can never compare to humans,” the husky proudly said as it took out a new cigar.

  “But you’re a dog,” Little Peach corrected.

  “.……You’re the damned dog.”


  “B-But you really are a dog……”
……

  Simultaneously, in China……

  The door of the special situation team’s team leader’s office opened abruptly.

  “Leader, this is bad.” Rushing into the room in a panic, Big Sis Wu said in a trembling voice, “C-C-Chen Yu started a war against Mexico!”


  The middle-aged team leader: “?”


  “Leader!” At this time, another person came running into the room and shouted in a panic, “Chen Yu’s closing in on America’s White House!”


  The middle-aged team leader: “???”
