Earth Era

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and under the cover of night, this earth, no, the only lively place in the entire solar system also returned to silence.

On this night, I don’t know how many people will have sleepless nights.

You choose your own path, and whatever you choose, you have to bear the consequences. Now that the escape fleet has gone away, it is too late for those who stayed on the earth to regret it. But Xiao Yun thought that among the more than 2.5 million people left on the earth, probably few would regret it.

Of course Xiao Yun will not regret it. Because Xiao Yun knew that since that night more than a hundred years ago, his life and destiny had been completely and completely changed. Fighting against the robot group is his life's mission, and he has no way to escape this mission. Either succeed or die, there is no other option, it's that simple.

Xiao Yun was still staring at the sky blankly. He didn't know how long he had been looking at it, but Xiao Yun sighed sadly and returned to his home.

The next day, Xiao Yun received a notice. The self-government staff told Xiao Yun that the house he customized in the mountains had been built. So Xiao Yun drove the autonomous aircraft out of the capital city and came to his new home.

Originally, in the capital city, personal ownership and use of autonomous aircraft was strictly prohibited, but now that the fugitive government has left with most of the population, this ban has been relaxed. In fact, on Earth today, almost every person has an autonomous aircraft. Because most of the public transportation system has been paralyzed, the people who stay here need things like autonomous aircraft to take care of their transportation needs.

The autonomous aircraft is designed to be fool-proof. Even a child can fly it freely with just a few days of training. Xiao Yun rode this kind of aircraft across a distance of more than a thousand kilometers, and it took him about twenty minutes to reach this inaccessible place, a place that few people had set foot in before.

It was a courtyard built halfway up the mountain. Originally there was a steep cliff, but the great engineering power of human civilization cut off the mountain peaks and leveled the ground. A unique courtyard appeared here out of thin air - it did not take much effort to build this courtyard. According to human civilization, Based on the existing engineering strength, it only takes an engineering team of three people to complete the project in about ten days. Of course, if environmental protection, ecological maintenance and other factors are taken into account, the construction time will be three or four days longer. It is precisely out of environmental protection considerations that the governments of human civilization have strictly prohibited the emergence of such buildings in the past. But the situation now is naturally different, and no one will take care of this kind of thing.

The person in charge of the project was already waiting for Xiao Yun's arrival in the courtyard. After parking the autonomous aircraft in the open space, the person in charge came up to him, completed the handover with Xiao Yun using an electronic document, explained the precautions, and then left on his own. As a result, Xiao Yun was the only one left within hundreds of miles of these rolling mountains.

The micro-ecological maintenance system keeps the entire courtyard in a warm, spring-like environment without being affected by the harsh environment in the mountains. Xiao Yun walked on the flat open space until he reached the railing in front of the cliff. He looked at the mountains in the distance and fell into deep thought.

If you look at it from a high place, the scenery here is actually very beautiful. Thanks to the almost strict environmental protection regulations of human civilization, everything here can be described as "original ecology". It was summer when the vegetation was luxuriant, and at Xiao Yun's feet were the rolling hills. There were green vegetation everywhere on the peaks, and some gorgeously colored flowers and plants were sometimes mixed in among the vegetation. Occasionally, you could see gurgling streams and the sounds of various wild beasts. The roars kept coming, making Xiao Yun unable to help but have the illusion of being in heaven.

"Turn off the micro-ecological maintenance system." Xiao Yun ordered the portable computer on his wrist, so the micro-ecological maintenance system was immediately shut down, and the warm and humid mountain breeze blew over, causing Xiao Yun's clothes to fly. The hair also started to fly.

The sky is blue, the sun is shining brightly, and the flowers and plants are pleasant. Xiao Yun stared blankly. After a while, a monkey of unknown species suddenly appeared next to Xiao Yun, standing on the railing and looking at Xiao Yun curiously.

Xiao Yun smiled slightly, took out a piece of biscuit and handed it over. The monkey seemed to have never seen anyone before, and was not afraid of Xiao Yun. When he saw Xiao Yun handing out the biscuit, he reached out and took it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it, and the recipient let out a cry of joy. of tweets.

"Is it delicious? Then take them all." Xiao Yun smiled and handed over the last biscuit in his hand. The monkey nodded to Xiao Yun repeatedly. After finishing the biscuits, he barked at Xiao Yun a few more times. Seeing that Xiao Yun did not understand what he meant, he couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously. It circled around the railing for a few times, then shot out like an arrow and disappeared under the cliff in an instant.

Xiao Yun smiled, returned his gaze from the place where the monkey disappeared, and put it back on the sky and the earth.

In this contemplation, time passed quietly. The sunset in the mountains is always a little earlier than on the plains. Around five or six o'clock, the sky has become a little hazy, and the mountain wind blowing in the face has begun to become a little cold. Xiao Yun tightened his clothes and was about to instruct the intelligent system to turn on the micro-ecological maintenance system when he heard something strange coming from the cliff ahead. Xiao Yun looked up and saw the original monkey appearing there again.

This monkey had a little white hair on its forehead and tail. This sign was obviously ruthless, so Xiao Yun recognized it immediately. Seeing this monkey appear here again, Xiao Yun couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Are you here for biscuits? Unfortunately, I have no biscuits anymore."

The monkey squeaked and rushed in front of Xiao Yun. Then he opened his mouth and a ball of unknown objects fell at Xiao Yun's feet. Only then did Xiao Yun see that the monkey had something in its mouth.

After throwing the thing at Xiao Yun's feet, the monkey squeaked a few more times, and then looked at Xiao Yun expectantly. Xiao Yun was a little confused, so he took a look at the thing under his feet. It felt like some kind of fungus, but he couldn't identify it specifically, so he ordered the intelligent system: "Scan it to see what it is."

The camera closest to the thing on the railing adjusted its angle and scanned the thing for a while. After two seconds, the portable computer on Xiao Yun's wrist automatically projected a three-dimensional virtual image. In the image was A portrait of a plant, and a voice came out at the same time: "This is a fungus, its scientific name is... It is edible, delicious, and has extremely high nutritional value. Due to over-exploitation more than two hundred years ago, this fungus was Species of fungi are extremely rare, and it took more than two hundred years of protection to increase their numbers, but until now they have not been removed from the endangered fungi list."

"Oh, it turns out it's this kind of thing." Xiao Yun suddenly realized.

Xiao Yun has always heard about this kind of thing, but because it is too expensive, Xiao Yun has never had the opportunity to see it, let alone eat it. Even later, when Xiao Yun had achieved a very high status in human civilized society, Xiao Yun had no chance to taste this kind of thing. I didn't expect that there would be such a surprise on my first day here.

Then the haze in Xiao Yun's heart dissipated a little. Xiao Yun smiled and said: "Monkey, thank you. Do you want cookies? Please wait a moment, I will get them for you."

Xiao Yun returned to the courtyard and took out some biscuits, then returned to the original place and handed the biscuits to the monkey. The monkey was very happy, nodded again and again to Xiao Yun, and left here after a while.

Xiao Yun bent down and picked up the fungi, and at the same time ordered the intelligent system: "Enable the micro-ecological maintenance system. Well...if that monkey comes here again, don't drive it away."

"Okay." The intelligent system replied.

The monkey had been active here for a long time, so there must have been a lot of smells, hairs and other things left behind. The intelligent system can accurately identify whether the monkey that comes here is the previous one by collecting and analyzing these things. So it is not difficult to complete Xiao Yun's instructions.

There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountain forest, and the microecological maintenance system has the function of isolating the ecology. As long as this system is in place, any unauthorized wild animals will not be able to enter.

Xiao Yun returned home and handed the piece of fungus to the catering robot, and said: "Eat it tonight. This is a good thing that I exchanged for several biscuits..."

After having dinner alone, Xiao Yun turned on the virtual TV and flipped through something casually. But because most humans have left the solar system, there are really no channels to watch now. After scrolling for a while, he suddenly saw the picture of General Emerk appearing on the virtual TV, so Xiao Yun stayed on this channel.

In the picture, General Emerk has changed out of his military uniform and put on formal clothes commonly worn by government officials. He was sitting in front of his desk, talking about something.

"Everyone is very clear about the situation we are facing now. In order to better face this situation, based on the suggestions of the fugitive government, as well as the research of our autonomous government and the results of public opinion polls as a reference, I, The head of the autonomous government announces the following decision..."
