Chapter 49: The Commander's Decision
YoRHa base, bunker.
The Bunker is a space base built in satellite orbit and is also the headquarters of the YoRHa Force. Because 80% of the Earth's territory has been taken over by machine life forms, the Android Resistance Army can only build bases on the moon and outer space.
At this moment, the bunker was no longer as solemn and silent as before. The communicators who were originally carrying out their own tasks gathered in twos and threes, whispering in not-so-whispers.
In the bunker's configuration, each YoRHa member who comes to Earth will be equipped with a communicator to communicate between the YoRHa members and the bunker.
Previously, because the commander did not deliberately conceal the fact when the bunker was communicating with the auxiliary machine, almost all the communicators knew that 2B and the others had met humans, and on Earth!
Upon hearing the news, the commander's face changed first, then again, and finally he forced himself to keep a poker face. With a trembling voice, he gave the order to protect humanity, then left the communication hall in a panic. Although no one knew where she was going, judging from the direction she was going, she should be going to her room.
The O-type communication robots who were still working in the communication hall saw the commander's embarrassed escape, followed by the sound of chattering.
"Why did the Commander leave in such a hurry?"
"Perhaps he was a little panicked after learning that the human master appeared on Earth. After all, the human master had been staying in the Human Council on the Moon before."
"Did the human really show up? I must ask 2B to take a picture of the human for me and keep it together with the picture of the desert rose she sent me before."
Communications officer 6O excitedly spoke to the young lady in front of her. She was the communications officer responsible for contacting 2B, so she was quite excited right now.
After all, it was 2B who encountered humans, and she was also tasked with protecting humans, so taking a photo was just a matter of time, and 2B could definitely do it!
"That's great, 6O, could you please make a copy and send it to me?"
"Yes, yes, that's a human. That's great. I envy 2B and 9S for meeting a human."
“Hehe…” 6O ’s face beneath the veil grinned foolishly, as if she was the one who encountered the human.
Seeing 6O's appearance, the other communicators all sighed at the good luck of 6O and 21O. 21O is 9S's exclusive liaison.
However, 21O was not as lively as 6O. She just listened to the conversations around her in a cold manner, and then asked 9S for a human photo while thinking about how to avoid damaging her image.
In 9S's eyes, she is a cool and aloof older sister, and she would never let that curious little kid know this side of her, but she also wants a photo of a human adult.
Compared to the heated conversation in the communication hall, the commander who returned to her room was in a state of confusion. She was one of the androids who knew the truth about humans.
In fact, she belongs to neither YoRHa nor the Resistance Army, but the human army.
The androids in this world are divided into three major forces: the special combat force "YoRHa", the early ground combat force "Resistance Army", and the android force "Human Army" that maintains a close connection with the Moon's Human Council.
These three forces all have their own unique symbols, but there is no doubt that they are all artificial humans fighting for humanity and to take back the earth.
But among them, the "Human Army" Command is the only artificial human force that knows the truth about humans, and it is they who created the illusion that humans are still alive.
As a member of the Human Army's headquarters and the commander in charge of the YoRHa troops, he is now in a state of disbelief but has to believe it.
All the evidence showed that humans had become extinct, but the data sent back by the auxiliary machine clearly showed that it was a human being.
If there is no problem with the comparison of the genetic maps, then even if there is only that one person, he is still a surviving human being!
Since humans are still alive, the existence of the YoRHa unit... the implementation of the YoRHa plan... her behavior of shutting off her emotions...
The commander squatted down, covering his head in pain. Since humans are still alive, what is the point of everything the "human army" has done!
The so-called YoRHa Project is a plan to give all androids the faith to survive and to prevent the android group from self-destructing.
Around 3400 AD, after the Gestalt Project failed, the remaining androids explored ways to regenerate humans. However, before such a method was found, humans became extinct around 4200 AD.
Only the Gestalt genes and the remaining Gestalt composition information were recorded and stored in a storage base built on the surface of the moon.
Although the news of human extinction was strictly kept secret, more and more androids learned the truth. Once the rumor spread, the fighting consciousness of the androids who had lost their guardians became significantly lower, and some even developed self-destructive tendencies.
The Human Army Headquarters, concerned about this, formulated the YoRHa Project in order to improve the combat and survival awareness of the androids.
First, they forged the information that "humans escaped to the moon" and spread it among the resistance forces as confidential information, and then the "Lunar Human Parliament" was born.
To enhance credibility, the "Human Army" Command also set up a communication server on the lunar surface and communicated regularly.
Next, the YoRHa unit was born with much fanfare. It was a special operations force, and all of its machines were the latest fighter jets.
Through intentional , all the androids learned the news.
Humanity did not perish. Humanity established the Human Parliament on the moon and also created the latest YoRHa force to assist the resistance army in fighting.
All the clues were right in front of them, so what was there to be confused about? For the sake of humanity, all the androids were once again motivated and no longer doubted their own existence.
This is also the full picture of the Yo-YoH project. Wherever they go, they will leave traces. In order to make this plan come to the most perfect conclusion, the Yo-YoH force must disappear, because the Yo-YoH force is within the Yo-YoH project and it is impossible for them not to notice the truth.
Therefore, every YoRHa member has a backdoor in his or her system. When the time comes, this backdoor will be invaded by the large network of machine life forms. When the bunker is blown up, all the information about the YoRHa project will be lost, and humans on the moon will "exist" forever.
As the supervisor and executor of the YoRHa Project, the Commander is the only one who knows the entire plan.
She knew that the YoRHa forces would eventually perish, along with her, but for the sake of all the androids, she would not be afraid of sacrifice.
However, when she was in contact with 2B before, the auxiliary machine told her that there was still a human on Earth (although there was only one person). The moment she heard this news, she almost broke down.
Fortunately, being in a high position for a long time has brought her not only emotional blockage, but also facial control that allows her to remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe.
Suppressing the emotions surging in her chest, the commander trotted back to her room. Only now did she calm down a little.
Thinking back to her original decision, the commander gradually regained her rationality, but she thought of the time she had worked with all the members of the YoRHa unit, and the YoRHa members who believed in her so much, and her emotions overwhelmed her rationality.
After experiencing the interweaving of rationality and emotion, the commander took a deep breath. She chose emotion, both for her own atonement and for everyone in the YoR-Ya unit.
Now that humans have returned, there is no need to continue the YoR-Ha project. No one can judge right and wrong. No, let humans judge right and wrong. She only needs to give the orders she thinks are most correct.
With this in mind, the commander decided to abandon his identity as a member of the "Human Army" headquarters and stand out as the supreme commander of YoRHa.
She returned to the communications hall and gave the latest orders as YoRHa's supreme commander.
"Issue my order to gather all members to conduct a self-inspection and update of the system, and install the Chinese language plug-in. From now on, Chinese will be the official language of all members of our YoRHa unit!"
