Earth Era

"Did you know? They are a group of locusts that will sweep everything away. They will not let go of anything of value. There is no such thing as sustainable development and environmental protection in their philosophy. , their only purpose of survival is just to copy themselves, the more copies, the better, the faster, the better. This purpose is the only standard they use to judge good and evil. Anyone who blocks them from copying themselves will be regarded as The enemy will be attacked without mercy..."

"Now... do you know that there are no fragments in the interstellar space here in the Raqqa Galaxy? The answer is simple. All those fragments were looted by the infinite replicating robots... five Taishan-class spacecraft, one large scientific research vessel All the materials that make up the ship were captured by them, and then processed into raw materials for replicating new robots. Even the people who originally lived in the ship could not escape this fate. Because... the human body is also composed of many elements. Yes, in their opinion, the human body should be delicious.”

As Xiao Yun spoke, the entire combat command hall fell silent. General Emerk looked at the picture transmitted back from the planet Raqqa on the big screen and remained silent for a long time. General Emerk seemed to have seen the robot bugs that were once all over the surface of the Raqqa planet, and seemed to have seen the human spacecraft encountering an army of robots in interstellar space...

Facing an army of tens of billions of robots, the five Taishan-class spacecraft will not be able to fight back. After the swarm swamps them, their only outcome is to be destroyed, and not even the spacecraft fragments or human corpses can be preserved. As Xiao Yun said, "Spaceship fragments and human corpses are both delicious things for the robot army..."

General Emerk also thought of the scene when the robot army left the Raqqa galaxy. Just thinking about that kind of scene will send chills from the bottom of your heart.

Trillions of insect-like robots flew in swarms from the planet Raqqa, soaring into the sky like tornadoes. They left the desolate planet Raqqa, and then came to the interstellar space. , they flew by in a mighty manner, even covering the star Lakka, making it look like it was twinkling from the outside...

Even covering the sky and the sun is not enough to describe this scene. They are a mighty torrent of steel, a sea of ​​robots. In front of this endless sea of ​​robots, any existence will be torn to pieces.

The huge fleet led by General Emerk took more than ten years to get here, but those robots had left here nearly fifty years ago.

General Emerk is a soldier, and soldiers have a bounden duty to protect their own civilization. Even when facing the vicious interstellar pirates, General Emerk had never been so angry before. Because no matter how ferocious interstellar pirates are, they still belong to the human category. If they do bad things, there will naturally be laws within human civilization to punish them. But at this moment... General Emerk is facing something that human civilization has never come into contact with before.

Nearly 20,000 humans died here, and six spacecraft belonging to human civilization were destroyed here. Those were originally living lives, those were good men in the military, those were scientific researchers who contributed their whole life to the scientific and technological progress of human civilization... They all died here.

General Emerk's eyes began to turn red, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously. But this situation only lasted less than ten seconds. After taking a deep breath, General Emerk regained his composure.

War is no joke. If you direct a war with emotions... big troubles will occur. General Emerk is an outstanding soldier, and he knows this very well.

So now General Emerk's mind is clear again, without any emotional interference.

"Xiao Yun, let me ask you a question." General Emerk said, "Those robots that can infinitely copy themselves...are they considered life?"

"No. Robots can never be alive." Xiao Yun said without hesitation, "I can be 100% sure that human civilization, or a civilization that is a thousand or ten thousand years more advanced than human civilization, will not be able to survive as long as technology is still there. Within our scientific framework, it will never be possible to create real mechanical life. Life is the most complex thing in the universe. A bunch of messy elements come together to form an elemental aggregate. Using your own thinking and methods to explore and understand the universe is the strangest thing in the universe. In other words, only this endless universe can develop intelligent life based on almost endless samples. We humans Civilization is nowhere near this.”

"So what are those robots?" General Emerk continued to ask.

After a period of silence, Xiao Yun responded: "They are just robots, nothing more. As I once said, all their behaviors are programmed internally, and they kill people." , because the program judged that the existence of human beings prevented them from copying themselves, they plundered the Raqqa planet, also in order to copy themselves, they left the Raqqa galaxy after extracting all the resources in the Raqqa galaxy, the same To replicate itself.”

General Emerk nodded slowly: "I understand. So... what kind of combat power do they have? Can you make some judgments on this point?"

Xiao Yun shook his head in embarrassment: "I can't do it. Unless we can capture a robot for me to analyze on the spot. I think we should send people to launch the most comprehensive search for the planet Raqqa. A planet It's huge. No matter how rigorously those robots search for this planet... there should always be some missing. As long as we can obtain some of their constituent parts, we can analyze them through materials science, structure, etc. technology level. In this way, we may be able to deduce their combat power data."

"Okay, I agree with you." General Emerk nodded and told an assistant next to him: "Pass my order...immediately launch a comprehensive search for the Raqqa planet, and confirm that there is indeed no After the alien monsters exist, you can send a search corps to land on the planet Raqqa."
