Earth Era

Chapter 355 A glimmer of hope

It also takes time to implement the evolutionary trap plan. To formulate a strict technology tree and guide the robot group bit by bit, this requires the time brought by the long distance as a buffer. But at this moment...the robot group is already close enough to the solar system, and there is no time to implement the evolutionary trap plan.

Up to now, human civilization has lost all ways to fight against the robot group. Human civilization... is completely at its wits end.

What else can we do...the only option is to escape.

Do we really want to leave this place where we were born and raised? This is the place where we have lived for generations, everything we are familiar with, the friendly blue sky and white clouds, the prosperous city that took countless manpower to build, the spectacular and beautiful natural environment that has been protected with painstaking efforts, The roaring rivers, the turbulent sea... Do you really want to give up on all of this?

After the head of state said the words "We have completely failed" with a hint of sadness, everyone in the conference room had this idea in their minds. People were silent, and when they looked at each other, they could only see deep sadness in each other's eyes.

"Although we have failed, it does not mean that we have lost all hope." The head of state was still saying softly, "As long as we can cheer up, as long as we never give up... I believe that our human civilization will We can find a second place suitable for our development and reproduction in the starry sky of this universe, and our human civilization...will definitely be able to flourish again."

All the participants knew that these words were just used by the head of state to boost morale, and they did not have any practical significance. So no one reacted to this sentence, and there was a silence in the conference room again.

After the head of state said a few words, he couldn't go on, so the head of state gave up the plan and turned the topic to the main topic: "Then I announce that the escape plan has officially begun to be implemented. The engineering department, social department, health department, science and technology department Departments, etc., I ask you to convene a joint meeting immediately to discuss the detailed implementation steps of the escape plan... Among them, the work of the social department is the top priority. I request you to do a good job in psychological counseling of the people during the escape process. There can’t be any trouble.”

After the overall strategy is determined, the next step is some detailed things. These things are very professional and very detailed and complicated, such as the personnel diversion arrangements during the relocation process, such as the adjustment of the living density of the space island, For example, the transfer and storage of materials, the backup of technological equipment, etc. These are not things that Xiao Yun and others can participate in.

So Xiao Yun temporarily withdrew from the meeting. After exiting the meeting, Xiao Yun returned to his home on the outskirts of Earth's capital city, locked the door, and stayed alone at home for more than ten days.

During these ten days, except for eating and taking care of physiological needs, Xiao Yun did not leave his room for a moment. Xiao Yun just lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, motionless. When his energy can no longer be sustained and he is extremely sleepy, Xiao Yun will fall asleep for a while. After waking up, Xiao Yun will continue to lie like that.

No one bothered Xiao Yun. The work of the Scientific Affairs Committee, chaired by Xiao Yun, has been confirmed to have failed, and the future arrangements for human civilization have been determined to be on the run, so Xiao Yun naturally became free.

However, others can forget Xiao Yun, but Xiao Yun cannot forget himself. Xiao Yun has been living in pain, and the pain is like a sharp knife cutting Xiao Yun's heart all the time. Although no one has expressed disappointment to Xiao Yun - whether it is the head of state, General Emerk, or even a random passerby on the road, no one has criticized Xiao Yun, it seems that everyone understands , it is not Xiao Yun's fault that things have developed to this point. Xiao Yun has really done his best in this process - but Xiao Yun himself cannot forgive himself.

Xiao Yun recalled the days he had experienced in the Raqqa galaxy. Harmonious teammates, lively and lovely lovers, and... those monsters that are as ferocious as demons.

"You have ruined everything for me..." Xiao Yun muttered to himself, and his body began to tremble slightly, but Xiao Yun eventually calmed down.

Xiao Yun was carefully combing through all the news and intelligence he had received since the robot crisis broke out until now, trying his best to recall every detail. Xiao Yun fell into deep thought and spent the past ten days.

One early morning more than ten days later, Xiao Yun climbed out of bed, then carefully washed his face, shaved, took a shower, found a set of clean clothes to change into, and then opened the door to his house. Came outside.

The weather was still as good as usual. It was early in the morning, and a warm sun hung in the sky, covering the earth with a layer of vitality. Xiao Yun took a deep breath, letting the fresh and pure air flow fill his body, then took steps and came to the government building again.

Along the way, Xiao Yun saw that this city, the core of human civilization, was no longer as tidy and clean as it used to be. The roads were full of people in a hurry, soldiers in military uniforms were everywhere, and the garbage on both sides of the streets was empty. Tidying up, the air is filled with a tense and dull atmosphere.

The city is still the same city, and its hardware facilities have basically remained unchanged, but anyone can notice that the city has declined. No matter how well-built a city is, without the presence of people, it is just an empty city and will eventually turn into a pile of ruins.

There was a tall soldier walking by in a hurry with a few followers. The soldier accidentally turned his head and saw Xiao Yun standing in front of the government building, so the soldier walked towards Xiao Yun. Come over and say to Xiao Yun: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yun turned around and saw that General Emerk had already arrived in front of him, so Xiao Yun forced a smile and whispered: "It's nothing, I just came to take a look."

As if aware of the abnormality in Xiao Yun's mood, General Emerk did not rush away. Instead, he stood on Xiao Yun's side and continued to say to Xiao Yun: "Several major government departments have determined preliminary relocation plans. In a Within a month, the entire population on the earth will be relocated to the space island, and the subsequent relocation of materials will last about two months. All the wealth that our human civilization left on the earth that can be taken away will be We’ll take it away.”

"Is two months... enough time?" Xiao Yun asked.

"There are only two months, there is no time and there is no way." General Emerk said, "Although it will take some time for the robot group to reach the solar system, they have already begun to gather in more distant places, and that place is different from us. The planned escape routes are extremely similar. In order to ensure the safety of our escape route, we must pass through there before the robot group gathers in large numbers."

"What should we do with the rest?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Just stay on Earth." General Emerk sighed, "No matter what...this is our hard work, how can we bear to destroy them?"

The wealth left by human civilization on the earth does not only include physical things such as food, minerals, and resources. The earth's ecosphere and environment are also the wealth of mankind. Naturally, there is no way to take these things away, and at this moment, it seems that General Emerk has no intention of completely destroying those things and not leaving them for the robot group.

"This is what the government means, not me." Emerk seemed to be aware of Xiao Yun's doubts, so he explained to Xiao Yun, "The so-called strong walls and clear fields have no meaning at this moment. Anyway, we have been completely defeated. Even if Leaving these things to the robot group will not make our situation worse, and not leaving them to them will not make our situation better. And if we destroy them, we will have to endure huge psychological pressure. After all, This is our home..."

"So, the government has decided not to destroy the earth's ecological environment, just regard it as a sustenance of human civilization... Let it be destroyed in the hands of the enemy instead of ourselves. I think it should be easier emotionally. Accept it a little bit.”

Xiao Yun nodded silently and said nothing.

"When did you leave Earth?" General Emerk asked, "Has the notice of your arrangements been issued?"

"I won't leave." Xiao Yun said softly, "I will not leave the earth. Even if I die, I will stay on the earth."

"What?" General Emerk's brows immediately frowned deeply, "Aren't you very active in promoting the adoption of the escape plan? Why didn't you leave at the last moment? - You stayed on Earth What's the use of the above? Are you dying in vain? You are a very good scientific researcher, and you are very important to our human civilization. It is very stupid to lose your life in vain just because of certain emotions in your heart. .”

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at the sky - it was daytime, of course there were no stars in the sky, but Xiao Yun's eyes seemed to have transcended the barrier of the sky and saw the deep and dark universe behind the sky. Xiao Yun's eyes were filled with an indescribable meaning.

Xiao Yun remained silent, and General Emerk kept waiting for Xiao Yun's answer. After a long time, Xiao Yuncai said: "I want to stay on earth and fight for the last glimmer of hope for human civilization." (To be continued ~^~)
