Earth Era

General Emock's words made Xiao Yun stunned, and Xiao Yun asked in a conditioned reflex: "Demon? What is a demon?"

"You sit down first." General Emock gestured to Xiao Yun by pointing to the sofa next to him, so Xiao Yun sat down with a belly full of doubts.

At this time, Xiao Yun had time to look at the layout of the office. Although he is an important figure in the military of human civilization, the layout of General Emock's office is extremely simple, and it can even be said to be a little rudimentary. Xiao Yun did not find any luxurious decorations in this office. Instead, he saw many cold weapons that exuded an aura of savage killing and some primitive hot weapons that were already very old.

There is also a long knife on General Emock's desk. The long knife is dark in color and has no luster, but at a glance, you can detect the cold aura emanating from it. The handle of the knife has been rubbed and rounded, and it is obvious that this knife must be often played with by its owner.

General Emock himself is like this long sword. His stature is extremely tall, but his body is not very strong, but his eyes are very bright. When he looks at Xiao Yun, it will make Xiao Yun feel that there is a knife cruising around him.

Xiao Yun suppressed the apprehension in his heart and looked at General Emock with some doubtful eyes. General Emock stood up, but did not speak, but looked at Xiao Yun carefully, and then said: "It seems that you don't know these things. It doesn't matter, I can tell all the origin of this matter. you."

Xiao Yun's heart was suddenly tightened. Xiao Yun realized that in the future, he would hear many things that were strictly kept secret within the scope of human civilization. And the reason why he has the qualifications to hear these things... is undoubtedly because of what General Emock said before, "I am the person the devil has named to challenge."

Recently, the so-called challenge self has only received one, and that is the unknown challenge information from the Raqqa galaxy. And General Emock called it "the devil's challenge," so it was clear that General Emock knew something he didn't know.

"You may have heard about the Martian civilization," said General Emock. "Our human civilization was not the first civilization to appear in the solar system, four to five hundred million years before our human civilization appeared. On Mars A great civilization was also born on it, which we call the Martian civilization. The technology of the Martian civilization has developed to the point where it is about to enter the interstellar age, but it will eventually perish because of the limitation of the dead knot. Originally, our human civilization would also be destroyed by the dead knot. Trapped in the solar system, but the original human hero Wei Feng brought back those key scientific data from the Nanmen two galaxies. Our human civilization finally broke the dead knot and developed to the point where it is today."

These things are not secrets, it's just that time has passed for too long. If they didn't collect them intentionally, ordinary people would even have heard of these things. It is impossible to know so clearly. Xiao Yun also belongs to the category of ordinary people, so Xiao Yun has only heard about it.

"Yes, I have heard about the Martian civilization, as well as about Wei Feng." Xiao Yun nodded.

General Emock continued: "But what you don't know is... the Martian civilization is not actually trapped by the dead knot. The survivors of the original Martian civilization have sailed to the South Gate II galaxy, and obtained recuperation there. If there is no accident, the Martian civilization will prosper again, but in the end, the Martian civilization has died out, so... do you know the reason for the final demise of the Martian civilization?"

These things that General Emock said are not known to ordinary people, and Xiao Yun naturally does not know these things. So Xiao Yun shook his head.

"When Wei Feng arrived at the Nanmen 2 galaxies, a pyramid left by the Martian civilization was found on the Blue Night Star. Inside the pyramid was a Martian hibernating. According to the information he left behind, the Martian civilization was finally He died at the hands of the devil, but he didn't say what the devil was. We speculate that he didn't say what the devil was and how to defeat the devil. He wanted to use this to coerce our human civilization to resurrect him. But... It's a pity. The Martian has been hibernating for too long, so we have no way to revive him. Until now, the Martian has been stored in a scientific research base on Earth, And the secrets of the devil and the method of defeating the devil are buried in the dust of time along with the sleep of the Martian."

Xiao Yun listened silently, and at the same time kept thinking quickly.

Xiao Yun doesn't think that General Emock will talk about these things for no reason, then... What General Emock said, the demon that led to the final demise of the Martian civilization at the beginning, and the demon entrenched in the Raqqa galaxy at the moment What's the connection?

"Because this involves catastrophic events that may be encountered in the development of a civilization. So our human civilization has always attached great importance to this. After all, the demon that caused the extinction of the Martian civilization at the beginning was when our human civilization developed to a certain stage. , it may also happen in our human civilization. So our scientists have done a lot of research on the remains left by the Martian civilization, and finally we have come to a conclusion. I think, as an artificial intelligence expert, you should have guessed What the **** is this," said General Emock.

Xiao Yun was shocked and immediately raised his head: "Could it be that the so-called demon that caused the extinction of the Martian civilization was a robot that can replicate itself infinitely?"

General Emock said: "We don't have direct evidence, but we agree that it is. And...you know what happened in the Raqqa system, and we also suspect those in the Raqqa system. The thing is the same thing as the so-called demon that caused the demise of the Martian civilization in the first place."

"They caused the extinction of the Martian civilization at the beginning. Who knows if they will cause the extinction of our human civilization now?" General Emock spread his hands: "It is for this reason that we will do this to this matter. Pay attention, and at the same time... also pay attention to you. Because the challenges of demons are aimed at you, that is to say, the creators of these demons believe that in human civilization, only you have the means to solve this crisis. And we... Choose to trust the judgment of the enemy."

"Who is the enemy?" Xiao Yun asked quickly, and after a short pause, Xiao Yun said again: "In the beginning, the technological strength of the Martian civilization was much weaker than ours at the moment. Why do you think, General, that led to the demise of the weak Martian civilization? Things, will also lead to the demise of today's powerful human civilization?"

"About your first question... My answer is I don't know, and we don't need to know." General Emock said, "You should be clear, that is, no matter who makes these robots that can replicate themselves indefinitely It doesn't matter who the guy is. The truth is... as long as our technology develops to a certain level, making those robots that can replicate themselves indefinitely is likely to become a very simple thing, as simple as maybe an ordinary person in the future All can be manufactured. Therefore, even if there is no guy who made those robots at the moment, someone will always manufacture this type of robot in the future. Therefore, from the perspective of the development trend of human civilization, human civilization will one day Faced with this problem, if we find a way to deal with robots that can replicate themselves infinitely, we will solve this crisis, and if we can't find it, then human civilization will surely perish - just like the Martian civilization."

"Since this challenge will come sooner or later, there is no point in arguing about who the enemy is at this moment." General Emock continued, "As for your second question, my answer is that since the "demon" is from Born within a civilization, the strength of demons must have a direct and obvious relationship with the strength of the civilization that gave birth to it. For example, if the overall strength of the Martian civilization is one, they can only create demons with one strength. Then the demon with the strength of one destroyed the Martian civilization, and the strength of our human civilization at the moment is one hundred... Then, the strength of the demon we created is also one hundred, and it also has the strength to destroy our human civilization. "

"Do you understand?" asked General Emock.

Xiao Yun pondered for a while, then nodded: "I understand~www.NovelMTL.com~ I agree with your two answers, but I still have a question I want to ask you, that is, how much do we have at this moment? Evidence that those things in the Raqqa system are robots that can replicate themselves indefinitely?"

"There is no direct evidence, but we think... they should be this kind of thing. The data given to me by the head of state's think tank team is that the probability is at least as high as 40%." General Emerk shook his head, " That's why I'm seeing you today. I hope you can play your part in this expedition, and if those things are really robots, you'll have to find out how they exist, how they work, and most importantly , how to eliminate them. In this process, I will provide you with the greatest possible support."

Xiao Yun felt a little powerless at the moment: "If they haven't developed yet, then just destroy that planet directly, it doesn't require my participation, and if... if they have developed, I, I don't know what to do. How to get rid of them."

General Emock said: "Since this challenge is for you... well, we also believe that you have the ability to win." (To be continued.)
