Earth Era

The head of state simply accepted Xiao Yun's suggestion, which once again caused a commotion in the conference room.

Everyone knows that the destiny of human civilization has been changed from this moment on. From now on, hundreds of billions or trillions of people will be affected. The development route of human civilization, the territory of power, and human civilization Everything... will undergo changes that can be said to be subversive.

After the head of state accepted his suggestion, Xiao Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was a commotion in the venue, no one spoke out against it. This also shows that those participating in this meeting, who can be said to truly control the fate of human civilization, also accepted Xiao Yun's suggestion.

General Emerk pressed the button in front of him at this time, indicating that he wanted to speak, so the head of state said: "General Emerk, what do you want? Please tell me."

General Emerk stood up, first looked around the conference room, then bent his waist deeply, and bowed deeply to everyone in the conference room.

There was silence in the venue, with no one commenting. As a result, General Emerk's slightly low words spread throughout the entire venue in the next moment.

"I request to resign from my duties as commander of the Destiny spacecraft and military commander." General Emerk said, "In the Lage 728 system, I committed an unforgivable and serious mistake, which resulted in the loss of nearly 3,000 ships. The spaceship and millions of soldiers remain in space forever, and I must take responsibility for my mistakes."

Xiao Yun moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but just let out a long sigh.

"I don't think what you did is wrong." Next to the head of state, the chief law enforcer of human civilization said: "Although I am not a military person and don't know much about war-related things, I still know that for a general, Said, unless there are obvious mistakes in your decision-making, the failure of a certain battle cannot be used as the basis for conviction. And our law enforcement system, after strictly examining your decision-making process, does not think that you were involved in the decision-making process. There was a clear mistake. Therefore, you are not guilty."

Another senior government official continued: "Similarly, after reviewing the process of your escape from the Lage 728 Galaxy, we also believe that your actions are appropriate and necessary. We believe that you should be rescued in desperate situations. You should be rewarded for your actions including the Earth-class spaceship Destiny and a dozen other spaceships, and you should not be punished for the destruction of nearly 3,000 spaceships."

"Yes, this is the conclusion reached by the 736 members of our Ethics and Values ​​Review Council after discussion." Another senior government official said, "We believe that you have fulfilled the scope of your responsibilities and abilities. To the best extent possible, for those fallen spaceships and dead soldiers... we should blame the enemy's cruelty rather than blaming you for giving up on rescuing them because you were powerless."

"But I still think I was wrong." General Emerk's face had been filled with tears for some time. "I took more than 3,000 spaceships and millions of people on an expedition. When I returned, But only a dozen spaceships and hundreds of thousands of people were left. In a desperate situation, I used their bones as steps to escape, but they stayed there forever. I followed the guidance of reason. I made that decision, but my feelings will torture my heart endlessly, making me spend my whole life in torment. I... No matter whether I did something wrong or not, my mental state has caused me to I am no longer fit to bear these responsibilities and I ask the Führer to allow me to resign from this position."

The Law Enforcement System and the Ethics and Values ​​Review Council have reviewed General Emmerk on both legal and ethical grounds, and both systems have concluded that General Emmerk is not guilty. But General Emerk still insisted on resigning from his post. This was not something that their two systems could intervene in. So at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the head of state.

Only the head of state has the right to make the final decision on this matter.

The head of state thought for a few seconds, and then finally made a decision: "General Emmerk, I reject your request to resign."

"I can feel your inner suffering, and I also know your mental state at the moment. I know that it is inappropriate to ask you to continue to contribute to our human civilization, but please understand one thing and understand the situation of our human civilization." The head of state stood up and paced back and forth on the rostrum, "You are the only commander in our human civilization who has experience in fighting against the robot group. Among the military personnel, you know the most about the robot group. You are the most knowledgeable." Suitable for people who take on the responsibility of fighting against the robot group, so... I reject your request for resignation. Not only that, I also ask you to get rid of the guilt in your heart and the emotions that will affect your sanity as soon as possible. I know this is difficult, but you It must be done, General Emerk, do you understand?”

General Emerk thought for a long time, and finally bowed to the head of state and all the participants, and then said: "I understand."

"After this crisis is over, I will grant your resignation request." The head of state said, "Right now, everything is focused on fighting against the robot group, and the rest will be discussed later."

The venue was filled with solemnity. Everyone understands that from this moment on, the focus of human civilization has shifted from development and exploration to war. War will be the first priority of human civilization, and for this, all other things must make concessions.

"I will announce below." The head of state said expressionlessly, "Four special affairs committees will be established. The first is the evacuation committee. It will be in charge of and coordinate the interstellar evacuation of our human civilization. It will be responsible for the evacuation of all non-S-class planets. The population of the domain, as well as wealth, resources, and everything that can be brought back, will all be evacuated to the S-class star domain. I will serve as the chairman of the retreat affairs committee."

"Second, the Defense Affairs Committee. This committee is responsible for leading the military to deploy defenses in all S-class star fields, comprehensively leading the war against the robot group, and is also responsible for coordination with various departments within the civilization. This committee is headed by Emerk The general serves as chairman of the committee.”

"Third, the Scientific Affairs Committee. This committee is responsible for leading all scientific research forces within the civilization and looking for the weaknesses of the robot group from a scientific and logical perspective. In the war against the robot group, this committee is the most important force and has the highest authority. The other committees and all departments must cooperate with the work of the committee when the committee has needs. The chairman of the committee is Xiao Yun. "

"Fourth, the Escape Committee. This committee is responsible for preparing for escape. When things develop to an irreversible point, and even the solar system is about to collapse, organize the surviving population of our civilization to escape. You must be prepared to escape. Route reconnaissance, target selection, and the construction of as many escape spaceships as possible. The committee does not have a chairman, and is co-organized by personnel from the Ministry of Food, Industry, Economy, Resources, Science, Health and other departments. "

After finishing all the arrangements, the head of state stood on the rostrum, looked down, and said in a somewhat heavy tone: "That's it, let's adjourn the meeting."

Xiao Yun followed the flow of people out of the venue and came outside the government building. The sky was still blue and the climate was still warm and pleasant, but Xiao Yun felt a little dark and cold for no reason.

The personnel deployment, office space, equipment and other logistical arrangements were completed in just a few days. At this time, Xiao Yun entered the Scientific Affairs Committee building and started his work.

Under the leadership of Xiao Yun, scientific elites from various disciplines first began to decipher the core program of the robot. When he was in the fleet, Xiao Yun was unable to start this work, but it was different now. Because there is an entire civilization backing Xiao Yun at this moment. No matter what kind of talents or equipment Xiao Yun wants, the logistics department will meet Xiao Yun's needs as quickly as possible. Under such circumstances, in just a few months, breakthrough progress has been made in this task.

Some of Xiao Yun’s previous conjectures include “robots use exhaustive evolution to evolve themselves”, “robots use the scientific and technological system of intelligent civilization as a reference for development to eliminate meaningless options”, “robots’ value judgment system” Waiting for the conjectures to be verified.

Now, Xiao Yun can be said to have almost completely understood the structure of the robot. He knows everything about the robot's design logic and engineering structure. Xiao Yun has even been able to create this kind of robot that can be infinitely replicated and self-evolved.

But this result not only did not make Xiao Yun feel excited, but made Xiao Yun feel even heavier. Because after deciphering it, Xiao Yun discovered that the robot's core program adopted a brand-new design logic. With the support of this design logic, it was not fixed, and these codes would also mutate and evolve. They are like certain viruses that have troubled mankind for a long time. Whenever humans develop a vaccine, the virus often mutates and evolves, causing the vaccine to become ineffective.

Xiao Yun knew that from the moment these codes were born from the hands of another self, they were no longer under the control of the other self. It can be said that even the other self who wrote them will not know how these codes will evolve and mutate. Naturally, even if the other self takes action personally, there will be no way to destroy these robots. (To be continued ~^~)
