Earth Era

"General Chelf." In the command room of the Earth base, a combat staff member hurriedly walked in, and then whispered in General Chelf's ear, "The Sky Survey Observation Base has confirmed that the Victory spacecraft Has self-destructed.”

A trace of pain instantly climbed onto General Chelf's forehead. As an old subordinate of General Emerk, General Chelf and General Emerk have cooperated for hundreds of years. In fact, there are many reasons why General Chelf stayed on the earth and refused to evacuate because of Emerk. General Ke. Because Chelf knew that General Emerk was a commander worth following.

General Emerk is the superior, the commander-in-chief, and also the kind and wise brother.

And now...he's dead. He died with the explosion of the Victory spaceship, surrounded by countless robots in the dark and boundless space.

General Emerk did not have to die.

It's very simple, as long as a different person is replaced to perform this task - although this task is fatal, General Chelf knows that everyone in this base will be willing to replace General Emerk - as long as a different person is replaced, Emerk General Ke will not die.

The cost of replacing a person is, at most, just a lack of tactical literacy, which reduces the robot's delay by a few tens of minutes or an hour.

And dozens of minutes and an hour are really not enough to exchange for General Emerk's life.

Everyone knows this truth, but General Emerk used the authority brought by hundreds of years of leading the army to even unreasonably deny other people's proposals and insisted on carrying out this task himself.

And the reason for doing this... General Chelf is also very clear.

"What happened in the Lage 728 system was really not your responsibility. The people did not blame you, and the law enforcement agencies did not raise any objections to your original behavior. The head of state confirmed that you were on behalf of the government and the military. The original behavior was justified, and even the soldiers who died in the battle were comforting you the moment before they died... No one blamed you, why can't you let go of this knot?"

General Chelf covered his face with his hands, and the command room fell into silence at this moment.

After a moment, General Chelf raised his head again. The look of pain had quietly disappeared, and perseverance and courage returned to General Chelf's face.

Because General Chelf knew that the reason why General Emerk could die calmly was because he knew that he would definitely do the next commanding work on his behalf. At this time, anyone can be sad, but you can't.

"Confirm the self-destruction status of the Victory spacecraft." General Chelf said coldly, "And, confirm the status of the first line of defense."

Under this order, the command room began to be busy again. A moment later, a combat staff officer reported: "The Victory spacecraft completely self-destructed. The entire spacecraft was blown into the smallest fragments by a deliberately arranged self-destruction system. The robot army will not be able to obtain from the wreckage of the Victory spacecraft." to any technology except materials technology.”

Another combat staff officer said: "The first line of defense is already full of holes. Seventy-three locations have been breached. The defenders have launched contact battles with the robot army. The soldiers have suffered heavy casualties."

General Chelf said coldly: "Activate the emergency backup automatic defense system and order the soldiers to retreat to the second line of defense under the cover of the automatic defense system."

The first line of defense is the shell of the base, and the second line of defense is the base's last line of defense. If the second line of defense is also breached, then the living area, scientific research area, material reserve area, etc. of the base will be directly exposed to the attack of the robot army.

Once the second line of defense is breached, the base is doomed. Although the core area where Xiao Yun is located also has a blockade system, everyone knows that it is only a final insurance measure and will not last long.

The atmosphere in the command room is getting heavier and heavier, and the combat staff are working nervously. One piece of battle situation information is fed back here, and then through the processing of the entire staff team and General Chelf, it is returned to the soldiers fighting on the front line. They are there.

At this time, two idioms suddenly appeared in General Chelf's mind for some reason, namely "the trapped beast still fights" and "the dog is beaten behind closed doors". This made General Chelf couldn't help but think bitterly: "I never thought that these two idioms would be used to describe us humans."

Putting some weird thoughts out of his mind, General Chelf once again focused his energy on combat command.

What the combat command room comes into contact with are just battle reports one by one, but on the real battlefield, what these battle reports mean is much more straightforward and cruel.

Amidst the thundering roar of artillery fire, countless robots swept across the entire world like locusts. They surrounded the entire base, preventing even the midday sun from shining through. Under the constant attack of endless robots, the entire shell of the base, including the mountain used for camouflage and protection, was completely stripped off. The second layer of defense has been truly exposed to the robot's sight.

There are still endless robots landing in the sky, not only here, but also in other places on the earth. Seventy percent of the earth's surface is ocean, so about 70% of robots have landed in the ocean.

The usually ferocious sea creatures become as fragile as ants in front of the robot. No matter whether it is a ferocious shark or a weak shrimp, they have not escaped the slaughter of robots - living things will consciously ensure that their own elemental composition remains stable, and this is also beneficial to robots, because they obtain what they need by killing living creatures. Elements are much less troublesome than mining and refining them yourself.

As a result, the blue water turned red at this moment. At this moment, the ocean was filled with blood, broken flesh, and corpses, and it looked like hell.

Oceans, land, glaciers, snowfields, mountains... everything on the earth has undergone earth-shaking changes in a very short period of time after the arrival of robots.

The robot army is invincible, and the tens of millions of species that the earth's ecology has spent billions of years evolving are no match for the robot army. At this moment, on the entire planet, only the human base is still struggling to support itself.

The outside world is full of suffering, but the place where Xiao Yun is still maintains comfort and peace. But obviously, the owner here is not in the mood to enjoy these things. Xiao Yun was still working nervously in front of the computer.

With the support of the brainwave input device and the body input device, the ideas in Xiao Yun's mind were input into the computer at an indescribable speed. At this moment, Xiao Yun seemed to be integrated with the computer.

It was a wonderful feeling, as if the computer was no longer just a tool, but became a part of my body and an external extension of my brain. There is a clear division of labor in this system. The heavy calculations are left to the computer, while the things that require wisdom are checked in Xiao Yun's mind.

I don't know how long it lasted in this state. After typing the last character, Xiao Yun suddenly stopped and returned to the real world from that illusory world.

The sudden separation made Xiao Yun's thoughts a little dazed, but Xiao Yun reacted instantly. Xiao Yun then controlled the computer to conduct a comprehensive calculation of everything he had entered before. When the final output was presented in front of Xiao Yun, and it was exactly what he expected, Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the pain like needle pricks in his mind, Xiao Yun quickly uploaded those programs to the signal transmitter server. Because the amount of the program is too large, this process took about five minutes. Within these five minutes, Xiao Yun sent a communication request to General Emerk and reported his work situation. But what was somewhat beyond Xiao Yun's expectation was that the person who answered him was not General Emerk, but General Chelf.

General Chelf calmly issued the order, "Immediately execute and send the program."

Xiao Yun didn't have time to think about where General Emerk had gone. After the progress bar ran out, Xiao Yun decisively pressed the send button. In an instant, a low buzzing sound resounded throughout the base—that was the sound produced by the working of the gravitational wave communication device.

After doing all this, Xiao Yun completely collapsed on the chair. Despite the support of the doping program, Xiao Yun still felt a kind of fatigue coming from the depths of his soul. But this was not the time to rest, so Xiao Yun was still forcing himself to stay awake until all the messages were sent two minutes later.

After the message is sent, everything that follows is beyond Xiao Yun's control. At this moment, Xiao Yun did not rush to check the execution results, nor did he go out of the core area to reunite with the staff. Instead, he stayed here silently thinking about something.

Xiao Yun thought of many people and many things. But what appeared most in Xiao Yun's mind were the scientists who had carried out the deception plan with him.

Faces and words kept flashing in my mind. From the thousands of people at the beginning to the last one left...the road was finally completed and all the companions died.

"I am the only one who has reached the finish line." Xiao Yun thought bitterly, "No matter what the final result of the deception plan is, we all tried our best..."

"General Emerk must be very concerned about the implementation details of the deception plan. I'd better report to him."

Thinking like this, Xiao Yun stood up.
