Earth Era

"The future direction of the autonomous government will be "service". The autonomous government will not take the initiative to set any goals or plans. The only purpose of the autonomous government's existence is to perform basic government functions and undertake tasks such as "security" ", "organization", "infrastructure maintenance", "rescue", "providing help" and other responsibilities. Within the legal framework, the government will give the people maximum freedom. You can choose your own life at will, and the government will You provide maximum help.”

General Emerk spoke slowly, without any emotion in his words.

Xiao Yun can completely understand the original intention of making this decision. The autonomous government and the fugitive government are two completely different governments. The fugitive government needs to consider more things, such as development, future, continuation of civilization, etc., while the autonomous government does not need to consider these things at all, because no matter who it is, they all know it. , self-government...has no future.

The fugitive government is an ambitious government. Under its leadership, human civilization has expanded its territory, continuously built star systems one after another, and continuously extended the tentacles of human civilization outward. The fugitive government is proactive. It will take the initiative to formulate plans to promote the advancement of civilization, while the autonomous government is a passive government. It has no plans and no ambitions. Its only purpose of existence is to ensure that these people who remain on the earth have no control over the robot group. In the coming days... you can live in peace and comfort and spend this last wonderful time.

This is a tragedy common to all human beings, but the reality requires people to do this.

"The autonomous government will not formulate tax policies because we do not need to rely on taxes to maintain operations. We do not have an economic system. The autonomous government will implement two distribution principles: "distribution according to need" and "planned distribution". Under this system of principles , currency and economy are not necessary. Anyway, the supplies left by the fleeing government are enough for us to survive comfortably without working at all. As for public services, the government will implement two types of "voluntary service" and "service by lottery" If there are enough people voluntarily engaging in a certain profession, the lottery service policy will not take effect; if there are insufficient people, then lots will be used to determine who should perform public services."

"Legal experts from the Fugitive Government Organization have helped us formulate laws that are suitable for our current situation, and stipulate punishments for behaviors that go against the public interest, such as intentional injury, insult, refusal to perform public services, etc. You can log on to the government website to download and watch it yourself .”

"This is the future direction of the autonomous government." General Emerk closed the document in front of him and said in a tired tone, "But before I end this speech, I have one more thing to tell you. .”

"This matter is that the autonomous government is preparing to form an armed force called the "Civilized Guard." If you are interested, you can sign up to join this guard. The Civilized Guard has only a very small threshold for applicants. As long as you If you have a generally healthy body and a certain amount of knowledge, you can be recruited into the army after a simple review."

"Everyone knows that before I became the head of the autonomous government, I was a commander-in-chief of the military. Therefore, after becoming a member of the Civilized Guard, you can receive professional military training, and you will have the opportunity to board a combat spacecraft and personally Control the spaceship and fight the enemies who invaded us - although the fugitive government, out of consideration of keeping technology secret and preventing technology from being leaked to the robot group, the combat spaceships left to us are old and obsolete, but I promise that as long as everyone accepts If you follow my training and strictly follow what I say, the old obsolete spacecraft can also exert great power."

"Maybe you will ask me, what is the point of forming an armed force to fight against the robot group when we know it is of no use, because our end is obviously doomed, no matter what we do, we will be Submerged in the sea of ​​robots." General Emerk said slowly, "My answer is that this matter does not have practical significance, but everyone should not forget one thing, that is... holding weapons on the battlefield There is a difference between dying standing and being killed while kneeling on the ground in humiliation by the enemy..."

General Emerk's voice suddenly became passionate: "This is the meaning of our formation of the Civilized Guard! Even if we die, at least we have not left behind our dignity! We have not left behind our pride as a member of the human race! We have to Let those damn scum understand that our bodies can be destroyed and conquered, but our spirits are eternal and immortal, and no matter who or what existence they are, they cannot destroy or conquer our spirits!"

"No matter whether this solar system is ultimately under our control or captured by the enemy, our spirit will be passed down forever!"

"So... I am waiting for everyone to arrive." General Emerk said, "I have finished speaking, then... everyone can start their own lives. The decision to choose what kind of life you live is up to you. .”

The picture of General Emerk disappeared, and other pictures appeared on the virtual TV. A host who was obviously a bit rusty started to broadcast some news and the like - most of the people had left, and the host on the earth could only be re-selected and let the newbies take on the responsibility.

Xiao Yun lost interest in continuing to watch, paused for a while, and then turned off the TV. But it was still early, and it was not time to rest yet, so Xiao Yun turned on the portable computer again and started browsing something between the virtual light and shadow displays.

It's only been one day, and the escape fleet probably hasn't left the solar system yet, but judging by its speed, the escape fleet should have already crossed the orbit of Jupiter. Such a distance is nothing to human civilization with super-light communication capabilities, and the current communication delay is not serious. So Xiao Yun entered an online community and started browsing casually.

The community is full of topics about this voyage, and discussions about the destination and journey occupy almost the entire page. What was somewhat beyond Xiao Yun's expectation was that people didn't have much worry about this voyage. Instead, excitement and novelty dominated the scene.

Xiao Yun sighed slightly. Xiao Yun knows that he cannot require ordinary people to have enough knowledge and insight like scientific researchers to judge what kind of situation mankind is currently facing, and what this long voyage means. People in the community are It is normal to be filled with novelty and excitement. Those who should be worried will always be the elite with sufficient judgment, but Xiao Yun is still a little worried about this situation.

Because Xiao Yun knows that as time goes by, when the novelty and excitement fade away, danger and boredom will be the main theme of the voyage. At that time... I don't know if people can accept this cruel reality.

After browsing the community for more than an hour, Xiao Yun turned off his laptop and returned to the bedroom.

It's late at night and it's time to rest.

Xiao Yun turned off the light, and the boundless darkness spread in, and then completely enveloped Xiao Yun. This place is different from the city. In the city, even if the lights are turned off, the ubiquitous light pollution will always creep into the room through various loopholes. But this is the mountains, and it can be possible within a radius of hundreds of miles. There was only Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun turned off the lights, and there was no artificial light source within hundreds of miles.

It was an extremely thick darkness, and the darkness was accompanied by bursts of roars of wild beasts, as well as some strange sounds made by unknown things. Xiao Yun closed his eyes, but always felt unable to fall asleep. After tossing and turning for a long time, Xiao Yun sighed, walked out of the courtyard in his pajamas, and came to the edge of the cliff again.

The cold wind is howling outside and the mountain breeze is gusting, but within the scope of the micro-ecological maintenance system, it is calm and warm as spring. However, the loneliness caused by this environment cannot be shielded and isolated by the microecological maintenance system. Xiao Yun looked far into the distance, and all he saw was pitch black. When Xiao Yun raised his head, he could only see one or two stars in the sky, not even the moon.

In this vast world and vast universe, it seems that only Xiao Yun is left. The boundless loneliness rushed towards Xiao Yun along with the darkness, making Xiao Yun almost breathless. It was only then that Xiao Yun discovered that he was actually so fragile deep in his heart.

This thick darkness forced Xiao Yun to face the fears hidden deep in his heart. In this moment, the tragic death of his lover, the ferocious monster... all of this came to Xiao Yun's mind again, making Xiao Yun's body tremble a little.

Xiao Yun has almost no confidence to fight against all this. In the repeated failures, Xiao Yun's spirit and perseverance have been exhausted. At this moment, Xiao Yun even hopes that those robot monsters will come to the earth quickly and kill him quickly. Only in this way... ...Only by himself can he be freed from this endless suffering.

"Or...just jump down from here, it'll be over, it'll be over..." Xiao Yun murmured to himself, climbed over the fence, and walked slowly towards the cliff.

At this moment, a squeaking sound suddenly came from beside him. Xiao Yun turned on his laptop and tried his best to look at it with the dim light of the laptop, only to realize that it was a monkey with a little white on its forehead and the tip of its tail. It was the same monkey that gave him precious fungi during the day. . At this moment, it was screaming anxiously next to him, and stretched out its claws as if to grab his clothes.

Xiao Yun smiled and said: "Are you here?" (To be continued ~^~)
