Earth Era

Xiao Yun's residence was once again expanded on a large scale, and eventually became a scientific research base covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square meters with various functions. Thousands of scientific researchers who have been selected are all stationed here, whether they live or work.

Under the auspices of Xiao Yun and Dink, these thousands of scientific researchers were divided into different groups such as theory group, programming group, simulation group, engineering group, etc. Each group is responsible for a different research topic. , and finally summarized here by Xiao Yun and Dink.

After it was confirmed that assistance from the fleeing government would no longer be available, the place quickly became busy. No matter it’s stormy, rainy or snowy or a cold winter night, the lights here are always brilliant, and the people walking here always look hurried.

Today is a rather special day. After just three hours of sleep, Xiao Yun just got up, washed up, and was about to start working again when he welcomed his first visitor of the day.

Without knocking on the door, Dink entered Xiao Yun's room directly, and then said: "Xiao Yun, the final action plan has been determined. The plan we jointly proposed was generally approved, and the jury only focused on a few minor details. Modifications have been made.”

After hearing what Dink said, Xiao Yun slowed down his movements and his expression became a little more relaxed: "It seems that everyone agrees with our plan."

"Yes." Dink nodded, "The probability of a group making a mistake is always lower than the probability of an individual making a mistake. Everyone thinks we are right, and everyone thinks this plan is feasible."

"Huh..." Xiao Yun took a long breath, paused, and then said: "Dink... From the time we proposed a rough idea to the time we finally determined the specific implementation plan, almost half a year has passed. Is it time?"

"One hundred and sixty-nine days, only a few days left to reach half a year." Dink said.

"I understand." Xiao Yun said, "You go ahead, I will go to the programming team to start working later."

Dink left Xiao Yun's room. Next to him, the monkeys immediately chirped over and jumped happily around Xiao Yun. A naughty little monkey even jumped on Xiao Yun's shoulder, stretched out his arm and touched Xiao Yun's head randomly, causing Xiao Yun's newly arranged hair to be messed up in a few strokes.

This happens almost every day, and Xiao Yun has long been accustomed to it. Since this place was converted into a scientific research base, these monkeys have moved to Xiao Yun's room. At the same time, their movements have begun to be restricted, and they can no longer play freely in the base. Perhaps because of this reason, they were even more obsessed with Xiao Yun. At the same time, teasing these monkeys has become one of Xiao Yun's few remaining pastimes after work.

"Let's go, I'll take you out to play for a while." Xiao Yun gently touched the little monkey's fur and whispered, "I've been bored here for so long... I guess you are almost exhausted."

The monkeys seemed to understand Xiao Yun's words and began to shout excitedly. Xiao Yun opened the door, and the monkeys followed Xiao Yun out of the room step by step - they did not dare to run around. The strict management system of the base and their previous encounters made them understand that the only way to follow Xiao Yun is to follow Xiao Yun. It is safe to be around the cloud.

After walking out of the base building and arriving at the wide square outside, the endless rolling hills and blue sky came into view of Xiao Yun. The monkeys knew that it was time to relax, so they dispersed and ran away. Xiao Yun walked slowly and came to the railing on the edge of the cliff.

The breath of nature instantly surrounded Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun felt as if a laziness emanating from the depths of his soul instantly took over his body and spirit. Xiao Yun closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the few leisure moments. But just a few minutes later, Xiao Yun opened his eyes and suppressed the feeling of leisure and comfort.

It was early in the morning, the sun was not too dazzling, and even looking directly at the sun would not make people uncomfortable. So Xiao Yun looked to the east, staring at the huge red sun in a daze.

Xiao Yun knew that even if human civilization had truly entered the interstellar era, the sun would still have extraordinary significance to human civilization. This significance is not only emotional, but also practical, the sun is indispensable to human civilization.

Without the sun, there would be no human civilization.

No matter what kind of gorgeous words you use to praise the sun, it is impossible to overdo it. It generously gives light and heat to human civilization, allowing people to thrive, survive and develop. It has given too much to people. If it were personified, I believe that no one with normal moral concepts would ask it for anything extra. But now, Xiao Yun decided to ask it for help again.

Because there is the most critical link in the execution plan drawn up by Xiao Yun and Dink, and this link needs the sun to execute it.

"You gave us life, gave us light and heat, and gave us everything we need. It is under your protection that our human civilization can flourish to this day. But today, your children have encountered the biggest existential crisis so far. , your children cannot solve this problem alone, so... we can only ask for your help. Only your power can destroy the endless vicious enemies that come from the depths of the universe. Only you can bestow it on your children. Second life. Mother Sun, we pray that you can help us and protect us as always..."

Of course, Taiyang would not respond to Xiao Yun's words. It is still hanging quietly in the sky, gradually rising, gradually becoming brighter and even dazzling. Xiao Yun finally had to retract his gaze from the sun. Although he no longer looked at the sun, the brightness between heaven and earth and the warmth he felt on his body reminded Xiao Yun all the time that the sun was still there.

Xiao Yun's mood was a little complicated. Xiao Yun didn't know how to describe this feeling - maybe people who bear the fate of the entire human civilization would be as sensitive as Xiao Yun and worry about gains and losses, or maybe those strong and outstanding people wouldn't, but Xiao Yun... was just An ordinary person.

Xiao Yun was still in a daze, but a sudden vibration of his portable computer broke the tranquility. Xiao Yun turned on his portable computer, and General Emerk's solemn face appeared in front of Xiao Yun: "Xiao Yun, come to my office immediately, there is something important."

"Alas..." Xiao Yun shook his head, sighed with regret, then turned and walked towards the office building.

Pushing open the door of General Emerk's office, Xiao Yun found that Dink and several important figures in the autonomous government were already sitting there.

"What happened?" Xiao Yun found a seat and sat down, and asked Dink next to him.

Dink did not answer, but General Emerk handed over a document and gestured to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun took the document and only glanced at it. The words in the title of the document made Xiao Yun instantly solemn.

Those were a few eye-catching large characters, "Fugitive Government Space Fleet Thirteenth Group "Osprey" Combat Formation to the Autonomous Government."

"Information from the fugitive government?" Xiao Yun murmured, "Hasn't the fugitive government already cut off contact with us?"

"The situation is a little different." General Emerk's words were a little heavy, "You will know after reading."

Xiao Yun continued to read.

“Leaders of the autonomous government, if you can receive this message, please respond in advance to the following situations.

A serious rebellion broke out in the fugitive government. The pirate group broke away from the fugitive government and became hostile to the fugitive government. In order to ensure their own interests, the pirate group decided to destroy the autonomous government in the solar system to prevent you from destroying the robot group. To this end, they sent a combat formation to the solar system. Correspondingly, the fugitive government also sent our "Osprey" combat formation to intercept. In the constant entanglement and melee, a robot group surrounded us and cut off our retreat.

We have no escape, but fortunately, the pirate group combat formation cannot escape either. There are too many robots, and we and the pirate group are destined to be destroyed here. We can only collect as much information about the robot group as possible, and try to send this message to the earth with maximum power. We hope that you can receive it and give early warning.

The coordinates of the celestial sphere where we encountered the robot group are as follows: ..., and the number of robots is estimated to be 300 billion. Because we lack the corresponding professionals, we cannot judge the current technological level of the robot group, but we have collected video images and related data of the robot group fighting with us. You can analyze and judge the technological level of the robot group by yourself. Their direction of movement is as follows, and their combat mode is as follows..."

The second half of the message is a series of data that details everything that can be collected about the robot group.

"We are lucky to receive this document." General Emerk said slowly. "If the Osprey combat formation had not encountered this group of robots, none of us would have known that there was a robot less than ten light years away from us. There is a huge robot formation somewhere..."

"They are coming towards the solar system." Xiao Yun whispered, "According to their current sailing speed, they will arrive here in no more than four years. In other words... we will not be here at most. In four years’ time.”

"Four years is the best case scenario." General Emerk said, "The time we have left may not be that long. Maybe there are robot groups operating closer to us, and we haven't discovered it at all. ?”
