Earth Era

Halfway up a mountain in the eastern part of the earth, Xiao Yun and Dink, as well as those monkeys, were still living quietly here.

The days are always as dull as water, and time always passes by in a hurry. The monkeys were playing and playing day after day. In the corner of the yard, the pile of branches was almost as tall as a person, and Xiao Yun ignored them. Xiao Yun even planted a tree in the corner, but the time was short and the tree only grew as a sapling.

"When this tree grows up, the monkeys can play on it." Xiao Yun thought, "I just don't know if we can wait until this tree grows up."

During this period of time, Xiao Yun and Dink have been conducting various complicated calculations and creative discussions, but they have not gained much during this period of time. Although the most basic problems have been solved and the general direction has been determined, the specific implementation does not seem to be as simple as initially expected. The road ahead is still full of fog and thorns.

"If we want to rely on deception to destroy the robot group, then we must do one thing, and that is... to live by death. We must make the robots think that the death of their companions is not really dead. Only in this way will they not trigger the crisis evolution mechanism. But to achieve this, we cannot touch the logical judgment mechanism inside the robots, we must make them feel that this is reasonable. There seems to be a contradiction between these two points. , how should we solve this problem?" Dink was thinking hard about this, but still got nothing.

It is indeed difficult to achieve this through lies and deception. Think about it, a person is obviously dead and his body is rotten, but someone tells you that he is still alive. How can you believe it? The same goes for putting this problem on the robot conglomerate. It is clear that one robot has been broken, but you want to make the other robots believe that it is alive without touching the robot's own judgment logic. How can you do this?

Xiao Yun and Dink were stuck on this question at this moment, and they still couldn't get the answer after thinking hard.

On a sunny afternoon, Xiao Yun finally made up his mind: "Dink, let's ask the fugitive government for help. The fugitive government has hundreds of billions of people and countless outstanding talents. We can't think of any." , doesn’t mean they can’t figure it out too.”

Xiao Yun had previously prevented General Emerk from telling the escape fleet his thoughts because he did not want human civilization to suffer the torment of hope and disappointment again, and at that time, Xiao Yun believed that he had the ability to solve this problem. But now the situation seems to be different. It turns out that he and Dink cannot solve this problem, so for the sake of the overall situation, they really can't care about the details before.

Dink sighed and nodded: "That's all."

At this moment, the escape fleet is more than twenty light years away from the earth, and has exceeded the boundary of human civilization. After this distance, there will be no planet settled by human civilization. At most, some scientific research fleets or unmanned detectors have arrived. Before the escape fleet left, most of the remote communication instruments in the solar system were destroyed to prevent the technology from being eavesdropped by the robot group. The only remote communication instrument that could be used to communicate with the escape fleet was in the hands of the autonomous government.

So Xiao Yun turned on his portable computer and started to contact General Emerk. A moment later, the projection of General Emerk appeared in front of Xiao Yun and Dink.

General Emerk has more white hair on his head, but his energy is getting stronger. It seems that during this period of training for the Civilized Guards, General Emerk also regained his fighting spirit. But Xiao Yun has felt more than once that General Emerk's state is abnormal. It is more like burning his own life, and there is a feeling of returning to the light.

This made Xiao Yun feel slightly uneasy, but Xiao Yun did not dwell on this issue, but said directly: "General Emerk, we need you to contact the fugitive government and send over the difficulties we are facing. Use the power of the fugitive government to solve this problem. Only in this way can our plan continue."

General Emerk agreed to Xiao Yun's request without hesitation: "Okay, please send the question and I will immediately arrange for someone to contact the fugitive government."

Xiao Yun sent the question over. General Emerk read Xiao Yun's question and suddenly laughed very easily.

"Is this the problem, Xiao Yun? Is it the problem that has troubled you for more than ten days?" General Emerk said with a smile, "Why didn't you come and ask me earlier? We actually don't need to ask the fugitive government for help, because... I know the answer to that question."

General Emerk's words made Xiao Yun feel a little unbelievable. General Emerk's excellence is undeniable, but it is in the military field. In terms of science, General Emerk cannot even compare to a research institute intern. At this moment, Xiao Yun and Dink, two experts in the field of artificial intelligence, have been troubled for more than ten days.

Xiao Yun and Dink looked at each other, and both saw the look of disbelief in each other's eyes.

"How do you deceive a robot into living by dying?" General Emerk smiled softly, "This is originally a very simple question. You two may have thought of this issue as too complicated and too persistent. Solve it from a technical level, so I thought about it for a long time but still got nothing. Let me take you to a place, and you will understand it when you arrive. "

"Oh?" Xiao Yun looked at Dink again, and then nodded silently.

General Emerk arrived half an hour later, and then Xiao Yun and Dink got on General Emerk's flight instrument together. General Emerk gave an order, and the aircraft flew to somewhere in the west like lightning.

The aircraft began to descend after about twenty minutes, and then landed in a remote valley.

The abnormality of this valley is completely invisible from the air. It is like countless valleys in the rest of the earth, lush green and surrounded by trees. But after landing, you can notice obvious traces of artificial modification. Winding roads have been built here, a complete take-off and landing square for flight instruments has been built, and even the inside of the mountain has been hollowed out and transformed into a huge base.

There are many soldiers with live ammunition here. Although they are all old and their gray hair can be clearly seen under their military caps, they all show a standard military atmosphere when they are walking, sitting or lying down. It seems that General Emerk's training during this period is still very effective.

Xiao Yun and Dink were both a little confused. They didn't know why General Emerk brought them here. But General Emerk just smiled mysteriously and did not explain to the two of them.

The three of them entered the mountain under the watchful eyes of many soldiers. As soon as he came in, Xiao Yun noticed an unusually dark and strange aura. There are many weird pictures hanging on both sides of the corridor, which seem to be some kind of deity with a distorted face. There are many things that appear to be religious items everywhere next to the deity. After walking for a while, Xiao Yun saw a huge altar-like thing set up in the middle of the square. There was a raging fire burning on top of the altar, and a charred corpse was thrown next to it.

There is something strange and gloomy everywhere here. After seeing this scene, Xiao Yun understood that this was a cult worship site.

Since the robot crisis broke out, countless cult organizations have been born in human civilization. These cult organizations preach different doctrines, but they are all under severe crackdowns by the government. Obviously, this is the place where a certain cult organization that remains on the earth holds secret gatherings. The autonomous government discovered this place and sent out forces to destroy it.

And the burnt corpse should be a sacrificial offering.

Xiao Yun felt something vaguely in his heart, but he still couldn't quite figure it out.

General Emerk pointed to the burnt body and asked Xiao Yun, "Do you think it's dead?"

Xiao Yun said: "Obviously, it is dead. Even if we use the existing medical technology of our human civilization to treat it with all our strength, it cannot be saved."

"Oh?" General Emerk smiled and shook his head and said, "Do you think he is dead? But these people seem to have different opinions... You might as well ask them."

There were also several cult members who were completely controlled by the soldiers. Xiao Yun walked over to a man in strange clothes who seemed to be the leader of a cult, and asked him, "Is that man dead?"

The cult leader lowered his head, his tone still calm and collected: "My child, a person who sacrifices himself to the gods through fire will not die. He just returns to the divine realm and returns to the embrace of the gods."

Xiao Yun was shocked, and the problem that had been bothering him for more than ten days suddenly became clear at this moment. Xiao Yun completely figured out the problem in this moment, and couldn't help but began to murmur: "Death is a living, death is a living...I see..."

The leader of the cult was still saying: "Child, come back to the glory of the gods... The evil spirits are coming. Only by believing in the gods and sacrificing yourself to the gods can you return to the divine realm. There is what you want in the divine realm. Everything..."

The cult leader was still preaching his teachings, but Xiao Yun was no longer interested in listening. General Emerk came to Xiao Yun at this time and asked Xiao Yun: "Do you understand?"

"I understand." Xiao Yun nodded gently, and then asked Dink: "Do you understand?"

Dink said: "I understand too."
