Earth Era

At this moment, Xiao Yun understood everything. The problem that has troubled Xiao Yun for a long time has been solved quietly. Xiao Yun knows that from now on, the road he faces will no longer be full of bumps and turns, but a broad road.

The only thing worth worrying about is whether you have enough time to complete this road.

——The road is smooth, but no matter how smooth it is, it still takes time and effort to complete it.

Xiao Yun and Dink said to General Emerk: "General, we already understand. Let's go back and start the next phase of work."

"As long as you understand, that's good." General Emerk smiled and nodded, "Go, go."

A dedicated person drove Xiao Yun and Dink back to Xiao Yun's residence with a flying instrument. After settling down, Xiao Yun said: "Dink, I think our top priority is not to start the deception strategy immediately, but to evaluate and implement it. How many manpower are needed to deceive the strategy, how much code is needed to implement it, how many people are needed to perform specific work... If the strength of the two of us is not enough, we need to ask the fugitive government for help immediately."

"Yes." Dink agreed with Xiao Yun's words. So the two of them once again devoted themselves to work.

After a few hours, Xiao Yun first raised his head: "After my evaluation, I think... we are not the only ones capable of this job. The amount of code it requires is too huge, and it needs to be complete. To implement this logic, we can fully demonstrate our deception strategy... The amount of code we need is at least several billion lines, not to mention that it also involves astrophysics, basic physics, high-energy physics, materials science, and aerospace science. , space science and other aspects of knowledge. The strength of the two of us is completely insufficient."

"Yes, my assessment is similar to yours." Dink said, "This is a huge deception that involves the entire scientific community of our human civilization and involves every detail of our technology. No part of it is rigorous enough. It may lead to the failure of the entire plan. The two of us only have clear logic for the overall implementation of the plan, but when it comes to the specific implementation, it is not even an exaggeration to describe us as laymen."

Xiao Yun and Dink looked at each other again, and then nodded: "In that case, let's ask the fugitive government for help."

"Okay, I'll make a help list." Dink said.

After a day, a list full of requirements was drawn up. It detailed what was needed to implement the deception strategy. It covered all aspects of the field, almost involving any aspect of natural science in the human sciences. Subdivision entries.

"The current two-way communication delay between the fugitive government and the earth is about seven months. Coupled with the time it takes for experts organized by the fugitive government to conduct research and demonstration, I estimate that we will get a reply in about eight months. . Then, during this period, let us first conduct research on issues in the fields we are familiar with." Xiao Yun said, "At the same time, we need General Emerk to organize experts from various disciplines who are still on the earth to conduct research. Advance research on what we need.”

Among the millions of people still left on the earth, there are many retired geriatric scientific experts. Although they have lost their ability to innovate due to aging, when it comes to their depth of mastery and understanding of non-high-tech knowledge, they are Not inferior to anyone in civilization. Xiao Yun alone knows about seven or eight such people, and there are even more second- and third-rate scientists, as well as people who have received a complete education and have a complete understanding of the scientific system, but have not engaged in science-related careers. . These people are also a force to be reckoned with.

After the most difficult problems were solved, the self-government was once again busy. General Emerk once again sent an engineering team to expand Xiao Yun's residence and transform it into a complete scientific research base. So all the people who were summoned gathered at Xiao Yun's place, where they started to investigate many issues. Conduct advance research to prepare for receiving and understanding information sent by the fugitive government.

Time passed little by little, and eight months passed by in a blink of an eye. But things did not progress as smoothly as Xiao Yun and General Emerk expected. Eight months have passed and no answers have been sent to Earth from the fugitive government.

People are still waiting patiently. Nine months have passed and one year has passed, but there is still no news from the fleeing government. This gave people an ominous premonition.

"What's going on with the fugitive government? It's impossible that they don't know the importance of these questions. It can be said that the hope of destroying the robot group rests on the answers to these questions, but why, they still haven't sent the answers?"

"Does the fugitive government still exist...are they really continuing their escape journey instead of disappearing into this vast universe?"

"What happened, what happened to the fugitive government?"

Question after question lingers in people's minds, but no one knows the answer. The fugitive government is already so far away from the Earth that the two-way communication delay has been as high as seven or eight months. Under such circumstances, the contact between the earth and the fugitive government has actually been disconnected unless necessary. No one knows what happened to the government.

Dark clouds hang over the research base, and every researcher involved in this task is worried, as if there is a big mountain weighing on their hearts.

This is the most desperate moment. It would be better if there had been no breakthrough in research, but now, the problem has obviously been broken through, and the dawn of hope has obviously been seen. Is it necessary to kill the hope in people's hearts at this time...?

General Emmerk has presided over a second confirmation message sent to the fugitive government, but has yet to receive a reply.

Time passed slowly amid such depression and waiting. One year and one and a half months after the first request for help was sent, General Emerk came to the research base with a document.

There were only three people in the office, Xiao Yun, Dink and General Emerk. Apart from these three people, everyone else was invited out. After confirming that the confidentiality measures were correct, General Emerk took out the document and placed it in front of Xiao Yun and Dink.

The raising of the document instantly caught the eyes of Dink and Xiao Yun, making their hearts suddenly jump.

The document header clearly stated: "Fugitive Government to Self-Government."

"This is a call back from the fugitive government," General Emmerk said.

Dink and Xiao Yun did not speak, but continued to watch.

"I am the head of the fugitive government. I regret to inform you, General Emerk, that we have made a major mistake in our work.

We did receive your request for help. As soon as we received the information, we organized scientific research experts to conduct research on related issues. However, our government has been infiltrated by the pirate group, and the crackdown operation led by me has not yet eliminated it. These scum have penetrated into our government. With the cooperation of these scum, the project information was completely leaked to the leader of the pirate group. It was then hosted by the pirate group, and people hidden within the government acted as internal agents. They launched a massive attack on the scientific research base. A large-scale terrorist attack... More than 30,000 outstanding scientists from various disciplines died in this attack, and all research materials were destroyed in this attack.

We mobilized all our strength to barely contain the pirate group's subsequent assassination operations, saved some scientists, and barely launched another study on related issues. However, due to the rush of time and panic, as well as the list of problem requirements and other large amounts of information, terrorist attacks continued. Due to the loss, our research has not gone smoothly, and so far we have only obtained these data.

Moreover, there will be no more information sent to you in the future... The pirate group has sent a fleet to intercept and interfere with the communication signals between the earth and the fleeing fleet. We can no longer send you any information until the interference equipment is removed. , and it will take at least five years to remove communications jamming equipment.

Therefore, Xiao Yun, Dink, and General Emerk, everything that follows depends on you.

In addition, according to reliable intelligence, we confirmed that the pirate group has sent a force equivalent to a legion to the earth, preparing to launch a devastating blow to the solar system. We have also dispatched a considerable force of escort legions to intercept, but can The interception is still unknown. You must strengthen prevention and preparation work in this regard.

The following are the preliminary research conclusions of our organized scientific research on those issues. I hope these things will be helpful to you. I wish you luck, and I wish our human civilization good luck. "

Apart from the attachments, this document ends here. After reading the entire document, Xiao Yun's eyes were filled with deep confusion.

"Pirate group...?" Xiao Yun murmured the name to himself, "Why do they want to prevent us from destroying the robot group? Don't they know that the robot group will eventually destroy them? The pirate group is also a human being..."

"The reason is very simple." General Emerk said calmly, "If the robot group was destroyed, they would die now. And if the robot group still exists... then they can at least survive, at least in the thousands. They will not be wiped out within years. What they need is a turbulent human civilization."
