"...Is it considered my kill if the head is robbed by artillery?"

Qi Lin muttered, he didn't expect to get a response, but at first the voice still rang in his ears: "Of course, the current progress is two-thirds, and you are very close to the truth you want to know."

"That's good, but I'll leave it here first. If there is any trouble later, I won't be with you."

...

...

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. After discovering that two Mark 1s were destroyed by a mysterious German sniper, the British army realized that something was wrong. The last Mark 1 was covered by infantry and machine guns and began to slowly withdraw from the battlefield.

There was no choice but to keep climbing over trenches, plundering a small number of smoke bombs from the dead soldiers, and then use smoke bombs to cover his traces.

The battlefield was full of explosions of smoke. The smoke bombs thrown by Qi Lin did not attract anyone's attention at all. At most, only one or two British soldiers would tentatively shoot into the smoke, but they could not hurt Qi Lin who was moving close to the ground.

Soon, Qi Lin touched the forefront of the position. After using the trench spike to kill a British soldier who was lying on his back and his calf was blown off, Qi Lin poked the g98 rifle out of a shooting port set up for heavy machine guns.

The shooting port of this type of machine gun is often about half a meter higher than the edge of the trench. It uses wood and steel plates as frames, and the outside is compacted with earth. Finally, sandbags are placed on piles. Unless the bullets just drilled into the shooting port, the machine gunner behind the bunker will not be injured at all.

Of course, if shells or grenades fall into the trenches, that's another matter.

Qi Lin soon found the last Mark 1 in his sight. The weird-shaped tank had already turned the front of the car with difficulty and was heading towards the British position.

According to historical records, the British army broke through several German positions on the first day, and ignored bullets, trenches and barbed wire fences, caught the German army off guard. However, this time, these secret weapons could obviously be considered as a disadvantage in the army.

If Qi Lin really traveled to the Battle of the Somme in World War I, I am afraid that the new weapon of tanks would face completely different fates - one is a useless project that was regarded as a waste of military expenditure by the top military leaders, and was cut off directly, while the other is to directly give birth to new tanks with thicker armor, higher mobility and stronger firepower.

But there was no ifs in all this, and Qi Lin was just completing a test step by step, a test that really made him feel a little unhappy.

Five bullets and four shots hit the armor plate of the last tank, two shots broke through and two shots jumped, while the last shot was unbiased and penetrated through the machine gun muzzle of the turret on the side of the tank.

The tank was still moving forward, but its movements suddenly became extremely inconsistent, and the machine gun on one side was also silent.

Qi Lin didn't care that he might be able to catch artillery fire at this moment. He quickly loaded the bullets and then fired them out quickly.

His position is more than two hundred meters away from the Mark 1. At this distance, luck factor has already occupied a large part of whether the K-type bomb can penetrate the Mark 1 armor.

However, Qi Lin was lucky. When he fired the 14th K-type bullet, the tank finally stopped. At that moment, everything around him stopped - the smoke seemed to be frozen, and the bullets whistling by were frozen in the air. At the tail of the bullet, you could still see the ripples formed by the torn air.

"The test is over and the goal is achieved, and it takes 1 hour, 17 minutes and 34 seconds."

The scene of the battlefield around Qi Lin disappeared again, and he found himself back to the training room at the beginning.

"You are indeed very good. Although the pass rate of this test has reached 87%, the average completion time of the tester is 8 hours and 35 minutes, and your score can already rank second." The voice said.

"Second place? What is the result of the first place?"

"17 minutes. But you don't have to be surprised. This score was only achieved by his ninth test. His first time was much longer than you. He spent 2 hours and 50 minutes. Moreover, his special abilities were exactly in line with the content of the test."

"What ability?"

"Magnetic control... Well, it's similar to that Magneto, but it's not that exaggerated - in this test, as long as some special situations are not triggered, the test process will not change. He remembered the position of the shell falling, lay directly in a safe trenches and pretended to die, and then when the tank approached, he directly used magnetic energy to detonate the tank's power components."

"It's reasonable to read the file and add cheats, it's seventeen minutes to reach..." Qi Lin nodded. If he was asked to conduct another test, he would be sure to shorten the time to within half an hour.

"Okay, you have something to know now, ask, but you can only ask three questions."

"What? Three questions? This is different from what we agreed on? Why do you still bargain?" Qi Lin was unhappy when he heard this.

"Three questions are already the limit within my permissions. If you want to know more, you can choose to join us... If you don't want to, you'd better think about which three questions you want to ask. There's not much time, and you have ten minutes to consider."

Qi Lin exhaled vigorously, and the other party was right. Now the initiative is in their hands, so there are not many choices left for him.

"Okay, the first question is, what kind of organization is this? Who are you?"

"These are two questions, not one, but I can indulge your cunning, because the answers to these two questions are very short." The voice paused, and then continued, "The organization has no name, only code name. In China, its code name is 'Siyi', and in the West, it is called 'Prometheus'. All the members of the organization are human elites from the old era, and we gather together for the same goal and strive together."

Si Yi? Prometheus?

Qi Lin was stunned. One of these two characters, one from ancient Chinese mythology, that is, Houyi, who is familiar to everyone, and the other from Greek mythology.

In order to save the suffering people living under the scorching sun, the former shot nine three-legged golden crows symbolizing the sun with bows and arrows; the latter was just the opposite. For the sake of the development of human civilization, Prometheus took flames from the sun cart and brought them to the humans on the ground. For this reason, he angered Zeus and was subjected to heavy punishment.

One is the "Sun Shooter" and the other is the "Fire Thieves". Although the cultural background and the content of the story are different, both contain a spirit, that is, struggle, and the struggle against those who control the world.

The organization uses these two mythological figures as synonyms, does that also mean that they have been fighting?

Who are you fighting with? Is your master?

"Then... what is your purpose?" Qi Lin asked the second question.

"Shut down the main brain." This time, the other party's answer was more concise and neat.

"Why should we turn off the main brain? Is the main brain going to destroy humans? If the main brain really wanted to do this, we would have been dead long ago, right?"

"The master's brain never thought of destroying humans. On the contrary, its ultimate goal is to continue the human species as much as possible."

"So why do you guys turn off your master's mind?!"

"Have you seen a movie? The name of the movie is "The Matrix", and the English name is "the       Matrix."

"Of course I've seen it...you mean...?"

"In the movie, robots have controlled the entire earth. They make humans into biological batteries and put them in vessels filled with nutrient solution. Human consciousness lives in a matrix of numbers. There, people think that this is the real world, war has never happened, and humans are still the masters of the earth."

"Of course I know the plot in the movie. Your consciousness is that the master brain plans to do that?"

"I ask you, what is the first thing that humans will do if the gate of the shelter is opened and after the humans return to the ground?"

"Yes..." Qi Lin thought for a long time before gritting his teeth and spitting out two words.

"war."

Indeed, it is not about rebuilding the home, it is about war.

In order to compete for land, resources and power, the Fourth World War will break out again... This is the nature of mankind.

"That's right, it's a war. Based on calculations, the main brain has found that after humans return to the ground, the probability of World War IV breaking out within three years is more than 99%, and humans are also very likely to become extinct in this war."

"So the master brain wants to stop this war?"

"Yes, so there is that virtual 'wasteland world'. This time, it's just an experiment... Don't you think that this virtual world is very similar to the 'Metrox' in that movie? We want to use this virtual world to train warriors, and the main brain needs to use us to improve this huge program."

"But... it is impossible for humans to live in the virtual world all their lives. Even if they are evolvers who play games continuously for a long time, they will cause the failure of various organs in the body. Nutrient solution alone cannot maintain life. After all, it is a movie. The technological level in reality has not reached that stage yet... Moreover, the lack of materials is also a big problem!"

If there is sufficient supplies, humans naturally don’t have to rush to return to the ground. If the master brain will lock everyone in that virtual world, the material problem will definitely be the first to solve.

A supercomputer alone cannot support people all over the world.

"Of course, the master's brain will not ignore this question... Have you forgotten the 'sarcoma' you saw in the underground mall when you came?"
