Earth Era

"The last chance of survival?" General Emerk repeated these words silently, his eyes twitching quietly a few times, "Do you have any plans?"

"Not yet." Xiao Yun shook his head, "But I think... I can find it. If I can't find it, then just die on this earth. I was born on the earth, I grew up on the earth, I think my bones... can remain on the earth after my death."

General Emerk's brows deeply frowned again, and his tone began to become stern and rude: "In other words, you actually have no solution or idea now?"

"Strictly speaking, there is still a little." Xiao Yun said silently, "General Emerk, you should know about the Martian brought back by Senior Wei Feng. Our human civilization's subsequent treatment of that Martian You must also be aware of the decoding and restoration operations performed by the brain."

"Of course I know that," General Emerk said.

"Devils are stupid." Xiao Yun raised his head and looked directly into General Emerk's eyes. "This is the most important sentence in the memory of the Martian. We have reason to believe that the method to fight against the robot group is hidden In these few words. Therefore, I want to stay on earth, I want to think clearly about this sentence, and I want to find the method to destroy the robot group from it."

"This is the last glimmer of hope for our human civilization." Xiao Yun said softly, "The future of interstellar escape is not optimistic, but there is still some hope, so I will vigorously promote the adoption of the interstellar escape plan, but this It does not mean that I personally agree with this plan... I will stay on earth until victory or death."

"And... this is also my personal choice. I am not qualified to ask the entire human civilization to stay on the earth to bury me with me, so humans fled and I stayed." Xiao Yun spread his hands.

"Stupid." General Emerk rebuked without hesitation, "This is an important moment for the survival of our human civilization. You should know that our human civilization cannot accept the loss of an outstanding scientist like you. Keep your own Life, it is correct to find a plan to destroy the robot group in a safe environment. Put away your unrealistic self-pity and self-harm, and go to the space island honestly. If you refuse, I don’t mind taking the Strong force.”

Xiao Yun smiled slightly, and did not have any emotional fluctuations because of General Emerk's ruthless words: "No, General Emerk, you are wrong."

"Am I wrong?" General Emerk frowned again: "Can't you think about the meaning of that sentence and find a way to fight against the robot group on a space island? It must be done on the earth. Are you there?"

Xiao Yun seemed to be a little cold and crossed his arms. He took his eyes away from General Emerk and put them on the sky again. His tone was full of loneliness: "General Emerk, you know how cold this universe is. , how much darkness is there?”

General Emerk stared at Xiao Yun coldly and said nothing. Xiao Yun continued to talk to himself: "Look at our human civilization... For our human civilization, is that Martian good or bad?"

Without waiting for General Emerk to answer, Xiao Yun continued: "It must be good, right? Back then, we were troubled by the knot and almost perished in this solar system. It was the technology retained by the Martian. Information and observational data helped us open the deadlock, and our human civilization was able to continue to survive. It can be said without mercy that the Martian saved our civilization."

"And what about the Martian's request? It's very simple, right? It requires our human civilization to resurrect it and ensure its survival if technology allows it - it's ridiculous, right? It's enough to save an entire civilization from dying. , precious scientific and technological data that have been reborn, it only asks for such a small thing in exchange..."

"And...how do our human civilization do it?" Xiao Yun's voice was full of desolation: "We dissected it. In order to obtain the information we needed, we cut its brain into the smallest pieces. Thin slice, let it die completely, and there is no possibility of resurrection."

"The most important thing is that during this whole process, no one of us felt guilty, and no one felt that we were guilty of the Martian. It seemed that everyone thought that this was a matter of course, and all of us ignored it. The Martian's feelings ignored... It is also a living intelligent life. We only regard it as an object, and we can sacrifice it at any time as long as necessary, and everyone thinks that this is a matter of course. .”

General Emerk's frown deepened: "You mean that all of us humans should repent to that Martian?"

"Of course not." Xiao Yun shook his head gently, "Why do you need to repent? In fact, even I think it is natural for us to do this. It's just sacrificing a Martian, so what does it count? It's just... General Emerk, have you ever thought about a question? What if the positions of our human civilization and Martian civilization were swapped, what if... it was a human being who handed over all the scientific and technological data in exchange for survival?"

General Emerk's eyes twitched and he said nothing.

"So, how dark this universe is." Xiao Yun sighed softly, "Is it really that easy to ask for help from alien civilizations? Perhaps, that super alien civilization looks at us humans just like us humans Treat that Martian like that, no matter what our human civilization does, even if we dedicate everything we have to please alien civilization, alien civilization will still treat us the same way we treat that Martian. Maybe they can just for one They destroy us for trivial reasons, but we have nothing to do, and during this whole process, no aliens care about our opinions or feelings."

"We adopted a concealment plan during our escape. We will not send a distress signal to alien civilization until we escape at least five hundred light years..." General Emerk murmured.

Xiao Yun smiled miserably and said: "Is it useful? Apart from self-comfort, is this useful?"

General Emerk lowered his eyes. After a moment, General Emerk said again: "Maybe the alien civilization is well-intentioned..."

"Good intentions? It may indeed be good intentions, but don't forget, just like we lamented the situation of the Martian, alien civilizations cannot treat us equally. You may treat a dog with good intentions, but you …Will the dog be given equal treatment?”

"It's useless, General Emerk, it's useless." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "As long as we are exposed, as long as we come into contact with super alien civilization, we will definitely encounter disaster, and that disaster will definitely Let us live worse than death."

"I'm scared, really, I'm scared." Xiao Yun said extremely seriously, "When I saw the scalpel cutting open the Martian's chest and taking out its internal organs, I felt that the scalpel was like It was like scratching on me. When I saw the Martian brains sliced ​​into slices, my head felt like it was going to explode."

"That's why I'm afraid. I'm afraid that our human civilization will end up like this one day. I'm afraid that our human civilization will lose all self-esteem and self-confidence, lose all dignity, and lose everything that we praise and work hard to protect. I'm afraid that we Human civilization will become pets, tradable items, and anything other than "people." I think, compared to that ending, dying on the earth... is the best."

"Of course, I'm just me. I'm not qualified to make any decisions for anyone except me, so I won't interfere with anyone's escape, but I...will definitely not leave."

General Emerk whispered, "But it's still useless."

"It's useful." Xiao Yun smiled in the sunshine: "At least I took on my responsibility. Even if I failed, I at least tried my best. General Emerk, you know, I am the one who fights against the robot group. It’s our responsibility, and no one can change that.”

"Are you talking about your clone?" General Emerk said, "Your clone has been a completely different person since it was cloned. He... actually has nothing to do with you. "

"I'm not talking about him." Xiao Yun said extremely seriously, "I'm talking about some other people."

At this moment, the scene in the Raqqa galaxy more than a hundred years ago reappeared in Xiao Yun's mind. Recalling the smiling faces and the bloody scene of the robot massacre that followed, Xiao Yun said softly: "My lover and friends... all died at the hands of robots. To this day, I can't completely let go of this. .So...if I don’t avenge them, I won’t feel at ease even if I die.”

As if it touched a certain place in his heart, General Emerk's body began to tremble slightly. It took a long time for General Emerk to calm down. He took a deep breath and said: "Oh... revenge, this is a perfect reason. I think... it is time to avenge those young men who stayed in the outer galaxy forever because they protected our escape... …”

General Emerk's expression became serious: "Xiao Yun, let me ask you, how sure are you of success?"

"How many percent? Not even half of Chengdu, only one percent at most." Xiao Yun said.

"One percent? That's enough." General Emerk said very seriously, "Xiao Yun, I will also stay on Earth. Let the two of us join forces to avenge those robot scum... "(To be continued~^~)
