Earth Era

"As for the space battlefield, the space army will focus on delay and defense, try to reduce the number of robots entering the earth from space, and support ground troops in combat from space. The ground battlefield will rely on base defense and focus on defensive attacks. Use base defense as much as possible to eliminate the enemy's effective forces, and at the same time support the space legion's battle with powerful weapons on the ground.

The war will enter a stalemate stage from this point on, new robots will continue to be born, and old robots will continue to die... We cannot accurately estimate the course of the war with the existing data. But one thing is certain, that is, the war situation at this time will be very difficult. Our war reserves and the number of our soldiers will continue to decrease, our will will gradually weaken, and the number of robots will continue to increase. Our situation It will get harder and harder.

Whether it can survive the increasingly fierce attack of the robot army for two months... To be honest, I'm not sure. But the only thing we can do is to fight with all our strength. Even if he dies, he must die on the battlefield.

This will be a critical moment that tests our will. Each detachment must do a good job in the mental construction of the soldiers and prepare the soldiers mentally in advance. At that time, if any troops cause riots or fail to fight well... I will personally use this gun to end your lives. "

General Emerk glanced seriously at the entire conference room, and then said: "The meeting is over and dismissed."

The officers left the conference room in twos and threes, and the sun also dropped below the horizon at this time. But the base did not return to silence, and various noisy sounds continued to come from all around.

Tomorrow the war will officially begin, and many people will have sleepless nights.

The world finally became completely dark. After a few hours, the light of dawn broke the darkness again. At this dawn, groups of elderly soldiers lined up neatly and ran into the ground-space dual-purpose spaceships. They will take these spacecrafts to the Earth's orbit, then transfer to combat spacecrafts there, and then head to the edge of the solar system to fight the robot army trillions of kilometers away from the sun.

Each space-ground dual-purpose spacecraft can carry 500 soldiers, and this time, the total number of soldiers planned to go to the borders of the solar system to carry out harassment operations is 100,000 - half of the total number of Civilized Guards. One hundred thousand people require two hundred dual-purpose spacecraft to transport them. So, this morning, the base was enveloped by continuous roars.

The spacecraft flew off the ground into the sky with a long tail flame, and then disappeared from people's sight. After a while, several stars in the sky began to move slowly, and were eventually obscured by the brighter light of the sun, and disappeared from people's eyes.

Those stars are the spacecraft that carried out this harassment operation. Because they are relatively large and the sunlight is not very bright, people can only see them from the ground. As for the remaining smaller spacecraft, you can't see them.

Xiao Yun knew that 100,000 soldiers had left the earth in more than 300 spaceships of various sizes. After more than ten days of sailing, they will come into contact with and exchange fire with the robot army. In more than a month, they will continue to follow the robot army and return to the earth with the robot army.

"When I left, there were 100,000 people. When I came back, I didn't know how many people and spaceships would be left..." Xiao Yun shook his head and left the window with a sigh.

This is Xiao Yun's new office in the comprehensive base. The new office is spacious and fully equipped. If Xiao Yun is tired or irritable from work, Xiao Yun will stand in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and enjoy the scenery outside the window.

The dual-purpose spacecraft left the earth, and the noise in the base finally came to an end. Xiao Yun walked out of his office and came to another room. General Emerk was already waiting there.

In front of General Emerk is a huge virtual display screen, which displays the movements of the deep space robot army in real time, with various parameters next to it. In front of the display screen is an operating console. After Xiao Yun came in, he did not talk to General Emerk. Instead, he sat directly in front of the operating table and worked there before standing up again.

"The program has been uploaded and can be executed." Xiao Yun said in a low voice.

General Emerk nodded: "Execute."

After getting General Emerk's permission, Xiao Yun pressed the huge red button on the console. Outside the base, the huge information-sending device that resembled a pot lid made a low buzzing sound. The buzzing sound lasted for less than three seconds before stopping, and the feedback results also appeared on the virtual display screen at the same time.

"The smallpox virus has been sent." Xiao Yun whispered, "The robot army will receive the message and be infected in twenty-three hours, fifteen minutes and six seconds."

This is the first time that the smallpox virus has been used in actual combat between human civilization and the robot army. Previously it had only played a role in simulated battlefields. Now, it was finally time to actually test the power of the smallpox virus.

Xiao Yun suddenly felt a little sentimental, and his thoughts drifted to a very far away place. Xiao Yun seemed to see Dink again, and saw this thin, always sick young man smiling at him.

"Dink is my good partner." Xiao Yun whispered, "Without Dink's help, I would not have been able to complete this task by myself."

General Emerk patted Xiao Yun's shoulder and said nothing.

"Ever since the smallpox virus was developed, Dink has been looking forward to the day when the smallpox virus will be used in actual combat and cause heavy damage to the robot army. Now, this day has finally arrived, but Dink can no longer see it. "

General Emerk remained silent, while Xiao Yun continued: "Dink, you have to understand that it's not that I'm biased against the smallpox virus that's why I refuse to use it, but that I attach too much importance to it, so I have to do it at the earliest possible moment. We are only willing to use it at critical moments. The killing effect of the smallpox virus continues to decline. If we use it too early, by now, its lethality will be reduced to a very low level, completely unable to reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness. Purpose.

You see... now is the best time to use the smallpox virus. The smallpox virus will play a vital and most critical role at this time. Without the smallpox virus, the Civilized Guards would not have been able to withstand the enemy's attack. We would have had no chance of winning, and the entire solar system would have been destroyed. From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that you saved our civilization.

Dink, can you rest in peace? "

Deep in the vast universe, there are hundreds of millions of dormant robots floating there quietly.

When traveling in space for a long distance and unable to receive supplies during the journey, it is the most rational choice to put yourself in a dormant state. This is the same for both robot groups and human civilization. But the dormant state does not mean that they cannot communicate with the outside world. In fact, no matter how deep the dormant state is, the core components are always working, which means that it is possible to use viruses to infect them.

This is a silent and empty space. There is no target that the robot army is interested in. The target they are interested in is still trillions of kilometers away - it is a dim light point, like countless stars in the universe.

The robots know that everything they need is there. There are not only huge gaseous planets that can provide abundant and inexhaustible fusion fuel, but also several terrestrial planets that provide the various metals they need to replicate themselves. For the robot army, it was paradise. If all goes well, the plunder of that galaxy will swell the number of robot squads from only 100 million units to trillions.

Their database stores some relevant information about that galaxy. They know that there is an intelligent civilization called "humanity" there. But it doesn't matter, the robots don't care if there is resistance there, and the robots don't care if they die in the battle.

All they care about is reproduction. Reproduction requires resources, and if they are there, that's enough.

The long space journey is coming to an end. With only two months left in the voyage, some instruments inside the robot have begun to try to revive from hibernation, and have begun to test the remaining parts of the body to prepare for the upcoming arrival. Prepare for the era of mass reproduction.

But at this moment, a message was transmitted here from the depths of distant space. The information receiving device immediately detected the message and immediately began to interpret and analyze the message - this is a behavioral pattern rooted in their core code, and they used this pattern to communicate with each other in the past. , and detection of the external environment. But something seems different now. As soon as the interpretation and analysis began, the code contained in this piece of information exerted its power.

The smallpox virus quickly infected every part of the robot's body, and immediately began to send its own code to other robots through communication equipment. In just a few seconds, the smallpox virus infected the entire robot army squad. , not one is missing.

The long-distance communication mode was also activated, and the virus signals jointly sent by these 100 million robots began to spread unscrupulously in the universe. As long as there is enough propagation time, the smallpox virus will infect all robots, no matter where they are.

And here, the massacre of the robot army by the smallpox virus has begun...
