The flames on the square soared into the sky, reaching the final moment of burning documents and materials. The convoy in front of the square began to launch, consisting entirely of military jeeps and fully armed guerrilla fighters forming a human wall to defend the general's safety.
The general strode out of the Capitol building, and his secretary chased after him, putting on a windbreaker for him. The roar of thunder god like cannons could already be heard in the distance. The sky in the north was faintly red from the gunfire, and it is not difficult to imagine the intense fighting there.
The young man and the general stopped together, gazing at the northern sky.
Is it the sound of the Thunder God's Hammer? How far is it from us? "The general asked.
It's the 'Hammer of Thunder', the TH-16X kinetic energy gun of the Western coalition. One shot is enough to dig out the entire underground turret with a two meter concrete defense layer from a depth of 50 meters. The distance is approximately 120 kilometers. "Young people say.
Can't the fixed defense position of Shattered Leaf Castle stop it
Yes, "the young man said, and the sky suddenly flashed with lightning like brightness for a moment," there are also space-based heat source laser weapons
God, please grant your mercy once again to those who believe in you, and may their souls be saved, "the general whispered, drawing a cross on his chest.
Peng, the vast majority of your soldiers do not believe in your gods, "the young man said.
Do you know why God exists? "The general asked.
The young man shook his head.
Because the cage that people can never escape from is themselves, they cannot seek redemption from themselves, they can only hope for the salvation of others, "the general said." I believe in the existence of God, and I pray for them, but it is to save my own soul
I don't understand, "the young man shook his head.
You never understood since you were young, "the general smiled." Let's say goodbye here. Tonight, I will leave Mtskheta. Your mission has been successfully completed
The young man nodded and said, "We're about to say goodbye. Can we use our previous address again
The general fell silent for a moment and said, 'Okay.'
The young man lowered his head, fell silent for a moment, and whispered, "Father
Theo... my child, "the general seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally sighing softly," God and I have never forgotten you. I love you as much as people cherish their hands and feet
He reached out his hand and gently pressed it on the young man's head. His palm was warm, and his voice was low: "Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be alarmed; for wherever you go, the Lord your God will be with you
Here it is for you. "He withdrew his hand and took out something that was tucked between his elbows under the windbreaker.
Give it to me? "The young man hesitated. It was a chess game, beloved by the general, and had never left his side for so many years.
If I come back safely, we can still play chess together, "the general patted the young man's shoulder." If I can't come back, it's just a commemoration
The general boarded the Jeep and, without looking back, the car doors closed. The rumbling sound of the motors echoed, and the convoy raced past the young man, raising a long trail of dust. On the vast square in front of the Capitol, the ashes from the burning fluttered in the wind like startled butterflies, leaving only young people standing there alone.
The young man took a deep breath of cold air and pulled out a black microphone from behind his ear.
Runas, mission over. Report time... "He glanced at his watch," September 17, 2056 at 0:11
I have received your report and will return to the airport where you came. The person who greeted you is already waiting there. He holds a permit and can take you over the no fly zone sky. "Runas' voice was clear and cheerful.
Thank you. By the way, did you watch our chess game just now
I saw it, what's wrong
I was interrupted by your warning before I could finish. Who do you think won
Runas chuckled softly, "It's General Peng Baoji. In just 27 steps, he can sink the car to the bottom line, and your king will be killed by his car. Even if he misses the best step, he is still in the hands of General 33, and you will not be spared. General Peng Baoji's resume, which you don't know, includes: he was the vice chairman of the Cambridge International Chess Association when he was in university in England, and led the Cambridge team to a 5-3 victory over Oxford. Three members of Oxford's team at that time later won the title of International Master. With his chess skills, don't hold any illusions
Is that so? I'm your chess friend, but I can't defeat the general
No one can defeat me. For me, chess is a completely solved crossword puzzle game with no more suspense. Even if there are virtual intelligent beings in the world who surpass me, they will only be tied with me
You are truly a proud computer, "the young man said.
Actually, it's not a complicated technology. In the last century, a computer called 'Deep Blue' could do it. The changes in chess are limited, and the results can be calculated exhaustively. For example, Deep Blue can only calculate 200 million steps per second to defeat the chess king. I only need 4-6 seconds to complete the calculation of this chess game, and I don't need to load 'chaos' in the calculation
You're still a frustrating chess player, "the young man said." Communication's over, see you in Siberia
He cut off the connection, boarded a Nissan Jeep that was on fire, quickly accelerated, and flashed into the night.

Didn't I instruct you... This passage of the Bible comes from the Book of Joshua, which God revealed to Moses' successor after his death, Joshua, the son of Nun, encouraging him to lead the Israelites to the land God promised them - the 'Promised Land' - to fulfill Moses' unfulfilled wishes.
