Earth Era

Xiao Yun suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. This sadness was not because of what happened to him or anything else, but because of the Martian who had been turned into slices and kept in the laboratory.

The Martian placed all his hopes on the method of "destroying the devil", hoping to use this bargaining chip in exchange for his own survival, but his hopes were in vain. Human civilization took its bargaining chip but did not pay it any compensation. Not only that, but its body was completely separated, making it completely lose hope of resurrection.

Although there is no morality among civilizations, and dissecting a Martian will not bring psychological pressure to the scientific researchers of human civilization, Xiao Yun still feels a little sad. To be more precise...this sadness is probably due to sympathy for the same person.

"If our human civilization also embarks on the path that the Martian civilization once took, if I become the last surviving human being in the universe, I have all the technology of human civilization but am unable to realize it, and can only rely on hope. If I hope to gain protection from other civilizations and use the technology I have in exchange for survival chips..." Xiao Yun couldn't help but sketch the scene in his mind, "How desperate and dark it would be. …”

Human civilization seems not far away from that outcome. The decision whether to escape that ending lies in the hands of Xiao Yun and the team led by Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun shook his head vigorously to throw these chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and then began to think about the only sentence that could be restored from the Martian's mind.

"Demons are stupid. They appear to be powerful, but they are always troubled by weak-minded lies and lead to destruction." Xiao Yun murmured this sentence and thought hard, "Are they stupid? Are robots stupid? ?”

"Is this hinting at the evolutionary trap plan? In a broad sense, the evolutionary trap also takes advantage of the stupid characteristics of the robot empire, using lies and deception to mislead them and achieve the purpose of destroying them, but...but..."

The evolutionary trap scheme achieved near-perfect results in experiments. Trillions of robots covering a planet were easily killed by a radio wave. The experiment was repeated more than a dozen times, and the robot group staged more than a dozen deaths on Eris.

Now, the information in the minds of the Martians also vaguely points to the evolutionary trap plan. It seems that... the evolutionary trap plan is really perfect. It is really the most suitable plan to destroy the robot group and solve the crisis of human civilization.

But is it really so?

In addition to Xiao Yun, the researchers in the Scientific Affairs Committee, military leaders, human heads of state and think tanks, and even people in society... everyone is full of confidence in the evolutionary trap plan. But Xiao Yun didn't. Xiao Yun has always been troubled by a vague worry, but he really can't find a specific reason for this worry.

There was a sense of crisis hidden deep in Xiao Yun's heart that could never be cleared away or forgotten. This feeling made Xiao Yun feel tortured, but he had no way to vent.

After a long time, Xiao Yun sighed heavily, gave up all thinking, and then came to the Eris base conference room, summoned all the researchers, and announced the matter.

"The meaning of this message restored from the brains of Martians is not clear, and we have no way to get more information from this passage. But I think it seems to vaguely point to the evolutionary trap plan we are currently undertaking. ." Xiao Yun tried hard to eliminate his prejudice against the evolutionary trap plan and tried to tell the matter from a fair and objective standpoint.

This news caused a lot of discussion among the participants. Xiao Yun left the conference room and once again came to the huge glass window at the edge of the base, standing here in a daze facing the endless dark space outside the window.

A hand gently patted Xiao Yun's shoulder. Xiao Yun turned around and saw Xiao Muhong's always cold face.

"Xiao Yun, I can understand your feelings. You have always believed that the evolutionary trap plan is imperfect and has fatal loopholes, but you have no way to find out what the loopholes are, so you have been feeling very tortured, especially here. After the information restored from the Martian's brain also vaguely supports the evolutionary trap plan, you feel even more worried, right?"

Xiao Yun forced a smile and said nothing.

What Xiao Muhong said was right, and there was no need for Xiao Yun to hide this matter.

"Your mentality can actually be explained from the psychological level." Xiao Muhong said, "It is another you who created the robot empire. You, and the clone you are both arrogant. You never think that no matter what the problem , as long as you are given enough thinking time, you can find a solution, and the same is true for the evolutionary trap scheme. You also think that you can find the loopholes in this scheme - although you have not found it yet."

"Because you are arrogant, you must think that your clone has intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people. Also because of your arrogance, you think that your clone must have found the loopholes in evolutionary traps and ways to prevent them. So - this is the source of those indescribable worries in your heart. But...don't you feel that you have too high a valuation of yourself? This valuation is so high that you also have feelings for your clone. Too high a rating…”

"Please believe me, the evolutionary trap plan has no loopholes. Even if it has loopholes, it cannot be found by one person - no matter how outstanding this person is. Whether it is you or your clone , are powerless against the evolutionary trap plan. The characteristics of the robot group determine this, and they will inevitably step into the trap prepared for them by our human civilization. "

Xiao Yun was still stunned and silent for a long time before Xiao Yun said with a bitter smile: "Maybe it's like this... Okay, okay, no matter how worried I am, the evolutionary trap plan must be implemented. This is what we The only plan human civilization can come up with to deal with the robot empire."

Xiao Muhong patted Xiao Yun's shoulder again, then turned around and planned to leave. But at this moment, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the Eris base. The originally heavy but quiet atmosphere suddenly became heated, and many figures magically appeared in the originally empty corridor. People walked around in a panic, talking to each other, asking what happened.

Xiao Yun's heart suddenly tightened at this moment: "What happened? What is worthy of such a level of alarm from the control room?"

The broadcast sounded the next moment: "Latest news received: The military's deep space exploration team has discovered traces of the robot group in the Gliese 715 galaxy, which is 37 light-years away from the solar system, at the edge of the territory. The total number of robots in this group is approximately On the Ten Mega Platform, some robots have occupied the Gliese 715 galaxy, while the other robots are moving towards the solar system at twice the speed of light, and are expected to reach the South Gate II galaxy in sixteen years at the earliest... later Detailed information about the robot group will be sent over. All staff at the Eris base will cancel their vacations. They must get back to work as soon as possible, analyze the latest information clearly as soon as possible, and formulate a targeted evolutionary trap plan as soon as possible. come out……"

Xiao Yun and Xiao Muhong looked at each other, their hearts sinking.

This day... finally came.

Although we have known for a long time that there will be such a day and that the robot group will come sooner or later, when this day actually comes, people will still feel heavy in their hearts.

This nearly a century of hard work and struggle, and the efforts of countless scientific researchers working day and night... are about to be tested by reality.

"Are we really ready? Are we really sure?" Xiao Yun asked himself silently in his heart, but the answer refused to appear.

That's an army of ten million robots...and this is only the first batch discovered. I don’t know how many robot legions are hidden in the deep and dark depths of the universe that have not been discovered. They may be converging toward the solar system from all directions, and they may even be very close to the solar system without being discovered by human civilization... How high will their total number be? One hundred trillion? Or 10,000 trillion or even 100 million trillion? Can human civilization... really defeat this overwhelming enemy?

After this broadcast, Xiao Yun's portable communication system suddenly sounded, and at the same time, the same notification sound came from Xiao Muhong. The two checked the news at the same time, then looked at each other, and Xiao Muhong said: "Let's go, General Emerk is calling us. I believe you must have received news from General Emerk."

Xiao Yun nodded silently and came to the communication room with Xiao Muhong. In the communications room, General Emerk's avatar is already waiting here.

General Emerk is not here at the Eris base, but is located in a space base nearly three billion kilometers away from the Eris base. But at this moment, human civilization can already communicate at a hundred times the speed of light, so the communication delay between the two is only less than two minutes, which is barely within the acceptable range.

"You have received the news, right?" General Emerk said bluntly, "Yes, the war between our human civilization and the robot group has officially begun, and the first battle began a few months ago. We In terms of human civilization, Mr. Levi, the planet's environment designer, was killed in battle. He killed about three hundred robots at the cost of his own life..." (To be continued~^~)
