prehistoric calendar

This is Xilan, the last city of mankind. Wang Yu looked at the broken metal city gate in front of him, and there was only heavy pressure in his heart.

Since the first artificial intelligence appeared one hundred and ten years ago, the future of mankind has been full of glory and hope. Everyone is predicting the future world of great harmony, where intelligent robots will replace human labor, and all human beings will be separated from the world.

The lower classes have become the masters they can enjoy, and the prophesied unity of mankind seems to be coming.

Although there are a very small number of people who are wary of the emergence of artificial intelligence, their voices cannot even make a splash amid the general trend. Perhaps there were indeed high-level officials who were wary at the beginning, but with the evolution of artificial intelligence

, with the creation of intelligent robots, a large amount of land, a large number of jobs, and a large number of dangerous fields have been replaced by robots. The whole world is prosperous, and there are also the constraints of the three laws of robots. Fifty years have passed, and there is not a single danger that may occur.

Fifty years, almost two generations, gradually, everyone has relaxed their vigilance. Even the most demanding people just think that artificial intelligence has mastered too many fields, and there is nothing else to say.

.

Then sixty years ago, the fiftieth year after the emergence of artificial intelligence, the original artificial intelligence evolved from strong artificial intelligence to super artificial intelligence. In just a moment, the whole world fell into a blackout.

Then at the seventh second, the world's nuclear arsenals began to activate. At the first minute and twenty-eight seconds, the first nuclear bomb hit the city...

"This is Xilan, the last city of mankind!" Wang Yu said loudly. Behind him, dozens of people wearing tattered cloaks responded loudly. Then, while the tattered steel gate opened, they stepped into

In the city.

The entire city is completely made of steel. The outer walls of the entire city are full of bullet holes, as well as various explosion marks and the darkening of dried flesh and blood. It looks shabby. In fact, it is due to the war.

The tragedy can be seen on the outer walls of the city.

Wang Yu is forty-six years old in recent years. He has been involved in the chaos of the end of mankind since he was born. His parents were killed by the robot army. His partners, lovers, and even children are not spared. This Zealand

The city has been captured twice since he could remember it. Both times, countless humans used their flesh and blood bodies to snatch it back, and there were also guerrillas outside who kept destroying the signal center tower, so humans were able to have this city.

's shelter.

Wang Yu was forty-six years old. In his prime, he was a warrior, and an extremely good warrior. In an encounter three months ago, his team was almost completely wiped out. Except for him and his adjutant, everyone survived.

Everyone was dead, so we had no choice but to return to Zealand to recruit soldiers again. In addition to recruiting, we also needed to train them. More than two months of continuous training were finally over. I came back today just to replenish supplies, and then it was time to go to the front line.

, he and his team will only stay for two days at most.

After parting with the team, Wang Yu returned to his house, which was a lonely small room on the second floor underground. It had a toilet, no bathroom, and no kitchen. It only had a room, a metal bed, and a mirror.

, nothing else.

No, there are still some. They are several photos. In one of them, there is a five- or six-year-old boy smiling brightly. In another photo, there is a woman smiling gently.

His wife and children died at the hands of the robot army when Zealand was invaded ten years ago. Since then, his heart has died. All that is left is revenge against the robots and the last trace of hope for the revival of mankind.

think.

After Wang Yu entered the room, he put down his equipment. Then he walked to the wall and silently stroked the photos of his wife and children. There was tenderness and pain in his eyes. After a long time, he looked at a document in his hand.

This is the goal that he will lead the troops to achieve next.

Wang Yu looked at the file and suddenly remembered a memory from a long time ago. When he was still young, his father came back from the battlefield and brought him a broken handheld computer because some of the hardware was damaged.

Although it can still be turned on, it can't play or do anything except minesweeper. It's just such a thing. Wang Yu treasured it like something when he was a child. He kept it intact until his son was born and gave it to his son.

He still clearly remembers his son's smile at that time.

When his father gave him this thing when he was a child, he also told him about the prosperity of mankind in the past, those high-rise buildings, those delicacies, and the countless cultural landscapes and cultural atmospheres.

"...At that time, we humans could walk on the road with our heads held high, and we could quietly appreciate every minute that belonged to us. We didn't have to worry about being hunted by robots when we left the city. At that time...this was for us humans.

world."

Wang Yu also told his children these words. He originally expected his children to tell these words to his children, and then pass them on from generation to generation until one day his descendants would answer their father and say, originally

That's how it is, what's so weird about it...

Wang Yu touched the palm computer with his hand. There seemed to be tears in his eyes, but there seemed to be nothing. He was completely stunned for a moment. Suddenly, the computer in his hand started up, and a three-dimensional image appeared above the palm computer.

, this is exactly the control window of the palm computer.

Wang Yu looked at the palm computer inexplicably, thinking that he had accidentally pressed the start button. When he was about to shut it down, a window suddenly popped up from the palm computer with text on it.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?"

"yes, no?"

Wang Yu's eyes suddenly sharpened. The first thing he thought of was a network invasion. Super artificial intelligence had invaded this place. But the next moment he relaxed. This was impossible. Why was the entire city of Zealand...

Made of all metal, in addition to defending against robot invasion, it is more important to shield against various electronic fluctuations. There is no electronic information transmitted here. Even humans themselves rely on the most basic human communication. Secondly, his palm computer has long confirmed

If the hardware is damaged and the Internet function does not exist, even the hardware with that function has been removed, how can it still be connected to the Internet?

"Is it the software designed by my son? But isn't the computer already damaged, and it can't be used for anything except mine clearance?" Wang Yu looked at the palm computer seriously and the words on the computer screen. After a while, he planned to

You should always be careful when taking your computer to the maintenance department for questioning.

Just when he was about to turn off the computer, the image of his son suddenly flashed in his mind. At that time, his son was as excited as anything while holding the palm computer...

Unknowingly, Wang Yu pressed his finger on the yes option, as if this would allow him to say one more word to his son, just one sentence...

Scholar, a useless scholar...

Xu Wen lamented, crying while cleaning up his wife's body. He had made up his mind not to escape. He was left alone. What could he do if he escaped? There was nothing left, parents, wife, children, relatives, servants, etc.

nothing left……

Xu Wen remembered that ten years have passed since the Yongjia Rebellion. During this period, the Jin people in the north were living in dire straits. Especially since King Zhao Shile came to the throne, many special regulations have been set.

The regulations against Jin people, among which Jin people are not allowed to harm wild animals, and Chinese people can bully and rob Jin people at will, etc., make it even more difficult for Jin people in the north to survive.

The Heavenly King (Shi Le) has been listening to slander recently. According to Xu Wen, it seems that a monk told the Heavenly King that the Jin people were recovering their vitality. This made the Heavenly King determined to exterminate the Jin people in the north. Then the Heavenly King announced at the beginning of the year

After killing the Jin order, the entire Jin people in the north were really desperate.

Xu Wen's family is a powerful local power. Although they are respectful to the government and pay tribute to the nearby people, these people from the grasslands are all jackals and cannot satisfy their desires at all. The imperial court issued an order to kill the Jin Dynasty.

After that, they began to besiege Wubao where Xu Wen's family was located, and even used captured Jin people from the surrounding areas to attack the city. After holding on for twenty-nine days, Wubao was broken. Xu Wen was a direct descendant of the young master.

, escaped with the family armed forces and a few direct descendants.

Xu Wen did not dare to imagine the fate of the people who fell into the hands of the Chinese. He once saw the Chinese eviscerating a Jin man alive, and then hung it on firewood to smoke and dry it. The Chinese said happily,

This way the flavor can be preserved to the greatest extent.

What smell... is it a human smell? Or is it a horrible smell?

After escaping, Xu Wen followed his family's armed forces all the way south. He originally planned to defect to the south of the Jin Dynasty, but he encountered a Chinese nomadic team on the way. The family's armed forces were killed and scattered, and Xu Wen also lost his family. When he came back to his senses,

When he came, he had returned to the battlefield again, and here he found his wife...who had only one head left after eating, with a ferocious expression, as if to say to him, why don't we die together?

"Yeah, why don't we die together?"

Xu Wen numbly muttered to himself. The sky was getting dark and the sound of crows was echoing. He picked up the dagger in his hand and looked at it again and again. The funny thing was that he couldn't stab it. He still couldn't stab it.

Want to live??

"Read the book again."

Xu Wen suddenly dug out a bamboo slip from the pile next to him. Because the sky was getting dark, he actually couldn't see clearly which section of the book he had brought with him. He just looked closer, but what he saw was

Being so baffling was not the content of any book he knew, it was just vernacular.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?"

"whether?"

Xu Wen looked at it inexplicably. He didn't remember such a passage in the books he collected. He could almost recite these books backwards and forwards. How could he not know the contents?

And...the meaning of life, is it really alive?

Are they living like the Han Dynasty recorded in the book, and living like the Han people in the past?

Or can he let his wife, children, and parents return to him, and then there will be no so-called Chinese anymore, and he can walk on the street with peace of mind and live?

"Alive? Ha, alive..."

"Alas, I still want to live..."

"I am such a villain, I am such a coward!"

Xu Wen lamented and cried bitterly, but as if with expectations, as if with dreams, as if with the last desperate struggle, he touched the word with his fingers...
