Earth Era - v2 Chapter 347
The galaxy has been churned by trillions of robots into a chaotic interstellar pinball battlefield. The constant, extremely fast robot bombardment even changed the state of the red dwarf. Its brightness began to climb sharply, and a strong solar wind blew from it, sweeping across the galaxy at thousands of kilometers per second. At the poles of the planets attached to it, splendid aurora appeared, like long whips waving in the universe.
Auroras and meteors, soot and explosions together create an eerie and majestic scene in this star system.
In the asteroid belt, a spy satellite disguised as an interstellar rock is also silently observing all this, and transmitting the information and pictures in real time. After relay transmission, this information will also come to the earth and be received by the staff of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network.
Not just these two places, there is more of this happening in this dark and deep universe. Countless robots escaped superluminal travel due to loss of power, entered a navigation mode dominated by inertia, and became true interstellar wanderers. Countless robot incarnation shells close to the stars hit the stars or planets…
The endless robots are ice and snow, and that signal from the solar system is the summer noon sun. Wherever the sun shines, the snow and ice melt quickly. Faced with this blow that seems to come from the depths of their souls, the robots have no resistance at all, no matter how large their numbers are, no matter how tough their defenses are, no matter how powerful their attack power is… All of this doesn’t matter, they will die if they receive them.
Countless spy satellites have seen a similar picture here. At that moment, data like a tidal wave began to be transmitted in the deep space monitoring network, and the signals transmitted at a speed of one hundred times the speed of light were constantly traversing between different communication devices, communication nodes, and communication bases, and finally came When I arrived in the solar system, I came to the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Base.
The first signal to arrive was from the E7368 sector. The content contained in this message is too strange. It was automatically judged as SSS+ by the intelligent program of the deep space monitoring system. So this information was first presented to the staff.
“The robot group numbered 1621 has advanced to the E7368 star field, and the spy satellite there has detected the space curvature change caused by the robot’s super-light travel…” A staff member looked at the information in his hand and said casually. He said to his colleagues, “Hey, the star field E7368 is only less than two light-years away from the Luhrmann galaxy. At this speed, they will arrive there in just a few months… “
The hearts of the staff began to be heavy.
in the next moment. Here comes another message with an importance level marked SSS+. The staff member pressed the receive button and began to read again: “For unknown reasons, the robot group numbered 1621 broke away from superluminal voyage at almost the same time. It entered a state of regular voyage… um, what? Entering the state of regular navigation? This is not right. The E7368 star field is a void, and there are basically no macroscopic objects. What is the robot group doing there to escape the superluminal speed? Is this necessary?”
This slightly bizarre message immediately caught the attention of the staff. People gathered around. After a while, a thought appeared in the minds of the staff at the same time: “Is it because of the evolution trap?! Has the evolution trap plan finally taken effect?…”
The appearance of this idea made people’s hearts jump. It is also easy to verify this. After all, the transmission of the signal takes time. Just by calculating whether the area to which the “harvest” signal is transmitted at the moment overlaps with the area where the robot group inexplicably departs from the superluminal speed, you can quickly draw a conclusion – if the two happened Time is overlapping. There is almost certainly a causal relationship between these two things, and it can never be a coincidence. The odds of such a coincidence occurring are simply too low to be negligible.
Everyone knew this, but no one tried to verify it.
Because they also know… they don’t actually need to verify it themselves. If the evolution trap plan really works, the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network will soon pass on further news.
All eyes were focused on that instrument. Everyone is suppressing their inner excitement, waiting for further news to arrive. At this moment, the room was extremely silent, and people even breathed lightly, as if they were afraid of being disturbed by something.
As one had hoped, further news soon arrived. The staff member quickly opened the message, and then lowered his voice and said: “For unknown reasons, the intensity of the infrared rays released by the robot group is rapidly decreasing… So far, it has been reduced by one percent.”
“The intensity of the infrared ray source decreases?” the staff member whispered, “What causes the decrease in the intensity of the infrared ray source?”
“Obviously, only the decrease in temperature can cause this phenomenon.” Another staff member said, “We know that the heat of the robot is generated by the constant work of the internal instruments, because the instruments are always working, so There will be a steady stream of heat generated, and under the work of the cooling device, the body heat of the robot will be maintained at a constant level, neither decreasing nor increasing. Now… the temperature of the robot body has decreased… Is this mean……”
The staff member hesitated and did not express his guess. Although this guess can be almost confirmed to be 99% true, it is too important, and even if he has such a high degree of certainty, he does not dare to say it.
Another staff member said: “Obviously, this means that the body of the robot has stopped generating heat. Without the replenishment of heat, their body temperature will of course begin to slowly decrease, just like the body after our death. It will gradually become cold. And…why does the inside of the robot body stop generating heat? This…besides that the instruments inside the robot body have stopped working, is there any other explanation?”
Several staff members looked at each other and slowly shook their heads.
A little joy burst out from the minds of several people. The staff member resisted the urge to cheer and kept his voice steady, but there was still a little trembling in his voice: “This, this, I think, we should immediately notify our higher authorities. , inform the head of state, inform Xiao Yun…”
“Okay, I’ll let you know, you guys continue to observe here!” A staff member called out, turned around and ran out of the monitoring room.
At this moment, two months have passed since Xiao Yun pressed the red button and broadcast the “harvest” signal into the universe. During these two months, Xiao Yun’s life was not good. Not only Xiao Yun, but also the head of state, General Emock, Xiao Muhong, heads of government departments, scientists who knew about this matter, etc., all of them were in a state that seemed to be in a trance.
People have a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, as if this matter never happened, people are still continuing their work, the Führer is still dealing with heavy government affairs, and General Emock is still working with his staff all day long. When discussing defense matters together, Xiao Yun was still in the Scientific Affairs Committee all day long. They seemed to be working normally, but sometimes they would suddenly stop during work, and they stood there in a daze, as if their soul had left the body. .
Today is also a difficult day for Xiao Yun. At this moment, Xiao Yun is processing some data, but he can’t calm down in his mind, and there is always an anxious flame burning in his heart, which can’t be extinguished no matter what. After working hard for a long time, Xiao Yun finally let out a long sigh, pushed away the document in front of him, and gave up the thought of continuing to work.
“Success is not terrible, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the waiting before the ending is revealed…” Xiao Yun sighed silently, “Faced with this gamble that determines the fate of mankind… I am afraid that anyone, even if their minds are as tough as The Yuan capital cannot calm down.”
Xiao Yun left his seat, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the distant mountains, and once again entered into contemplation.
I don’t know how long I have been standing here~www.mtlnovel.com~ Suddenly, a piercing bell broke the silence in the office. Xiao Yun frowned, walked quickly to the desk, and pressed the answer button.
An unfamiliar face appeared in the picture. Xiao Yun did not know this person, but through the epaulette of that person, Xiao Yun recognized that this was a staff member of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Base. So Xiao Yun’s heart suddenly raised: “Has the evolution trap plan come to fruition?”
“Chairman Xiao!” The staff member shouted excitedly, “We have just received information from the satellite, and we have confirmed that we have noticed something unusual. Please come to the base immediately!”
Xiao Yun asked in a deep voice, “Have you notified the head of state?”
“It has been notified, the head of state will be here immediately!”
“Okay, wait for me, I’ll go now!” Xiao Yun said, turned off the communication video, and walked out of the office quickly.
Xiao Yun didn’t calm down a little until he was sitting on the express rail car, but his hands were constantly shaking, and he couldn’t calm down no matter what. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
