Earth Era - v2 Chapter 354
“This is the escape plan formulated by our Institute of Extraterrestrial Civilizations.” Zheng Fanghai gently closed the virtual display screen in front of him, and then put his eyes on the numerous participants in the conference room, “Do you have anything to add? Is it?”
The dean of the Academy of Sciences took a deep sigh and said, “Anyway, this plan is still too illusory, and pinning his hopes on super alien civilization… This, this…”
The dean of the Academy of Sciences murmured a few words, but the next words were never spoken. But no one can understand the meaning of the dean’s words.
Up to now, human civilization has not even been in contact with alien civilization, has not discovered the existence of alien civilization, and has not even discovered alien life in a broad sense, even simple life.
But… if the evolution trap plan is really weakened or even completely ineffective, and we don’t pin our hopes on the illusory super alien civilization, what else can we do? Even if there are many risks in contact with super alien civilization, even if there may be no alien civilization at all, even if human civilization escapes for 10,000 light-years, it cannot find a resting place, even if human civilization may be fleeing endlessly. Danger consumes all flesh and blood, and eventually perishes in this universe… Human civilization must choose this plan, because no matter how illusory hope is, it is still a glimmer of hope. If you stay here, there is no chance at all.
The atmosphere in the conference room was dull and depressing to the extreme. After the slightly sad words of the dean of the Academy of Sciences stopped, no one spoke in the conference room for a long time. In the end, the head of state broke the silence: “That’s it, I ordered that the preparations for the escape continue to be carried out as soon as possible. At the same time, the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network must also pay close attention to the trends around the solar system, and report any abnormalities immediately…”
Zheng Fanghai’s escape plan was passed without a vote and without anyone’s express consent. No matter who it is, it is very clear in their hearts. Judging from the current situation, there is no room for them to discuss this matter at all, and it is impossible for people to find other solutions. That being the case, why bother to vote… to express consent?
Xiao Yun was also one of the participants of this meeting, but at this meeting, Xiao Yun did not express any opinion, and just watched silently throughout the whole process. So did General Emock.
At the end of the meeting, when leaving the conference room, Xiao Yun happened to be with General Emock. I haven’t seen each other for a while, and General Emock seems to have aged for many years, and even his hair is a little gray.
The two looked at each other, neither of them said a word, they just sighed and walked away.
Not far from the solar system, in the dark and dark universe, a red star, which is somewhat insignificant compared to the sun, has opened up a bright field here with its own light and heat. There are three planets revolving around it, and among the three planets is a huge rocky planet. Although it has an atmosphere, the surface is still desolate, without water, without life, and some are just yellow in the sky. Sand, and huge rolling dunes everywhere. Occasionally, there are deep ravines that are thousands of miles long and bottomless, like huge wounds on this planet.
Strong winds and yellow sand mean changeable terrain. A huge sand dune may disappear without a trace in just one night, and a sand pit as vast as a lake may be buried by yellow sand in the next moment.
For it, nothing is eternal. Perhaps the dark red sun that rises every sixteen and a half hours is eternal, but it is more like a mechanical infinite repetition, which obviously means nothing.
This desolate and dead planet has maintained this for billions of years. But one day more than ten years ago, this static situation broke. Many robots have come here from outer space. Those robots are running wildly on this planet and multiplying regardless. When they are at their greatest number, they even significantly change the whole of the planet. landform.
But that all changed a few months ago. A sudden broadcast message cut off the lives of all the robots, so the great and eternal force of nature once again took over the planet, and the yellow sand that was concealed from the sky was rolled up again, and all those who had been in this planet were rolled up again. The flamboyant robots on the planet are buried under the ground, and the dust is still dust, and the soil is still soil.
The hundreds of billions of robots did not change the planet in the end.
This star system is not always calm and static. When the robot group was still active, this was the world of robots. After the robots disappeared, some interstellar rocks from outer star systems began to enter here frequently. These interstellar rocks follow the pre-set orbits, and usually leave after a circle in this star system, but some choose a longer distance, and they will circle around the star system in turn. Three planets, you will only leave after exploring all three planets.
Because they are not ordinary interstellar rocks, they are part of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network, which is tasked with detecting trends in the surrounding environment of the solar system. And this star system is obviously one of the monitoring targets of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network. Judging by the number of detectors that have reached this star system, the importance of this star system is still quite high.
It is precisely because of this that when there is an abnormality on the surface of the huge rocky planet, the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network will observe it for the first time.
The so-called first time is actually not the first time in the absolute sense. Compared with the entire planet, a robot is too small. Even if the sensitivity of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network is increased by ten times, the probability of finding the movements of a robot is very low. In fact, by the time the probe orbiting the planet detected anomalous changes on the planet’s surface, the number of active robots had grown to tens of thousands.
Perhaps at a certain dusk, a surviving robot broke out from under the yellow sand. With the help of the cover of complex terrain, it quietly began its own breeding journey, and one after another young robot emerged from its belly. Birth and rapid growth, then start to reproduce again…
The robots eventually converged into a large group, and thanks to the collective collaboration, the rate of reproduction of the robots increased again, and was finally detected by the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network.
As a result, a signal was sent from the detection satellite and quickly transmitted to the network node satellite. The node satellite uploaded the information again. After dozens of signal relays, the signal finally came to the Lyra constellation above the earth. In the main base of the deep space exploration network, and then quickly reported to the head of state.
“The evolutionary trap plan has not received full success, and it has been confirmed that the robot group has slipped through the net.” The head of state said in a somewhat heavy tone, “The Lyra Deep Space Exploration Network has detected clear information, and … the situation Worse than we thought.”
There was still absolute silence in the conference room, and no one spoke.
Anyone knows exactly what this means. Although the surviving robots have only been found in one place at the moment, what this means is definitely not so simple. From zero to one is a qualitative change, but from one to one hundred is only a quantitative change. That is to say, it is unlikely that there are only surviving robots in this place. The most likely thing is… There are many surviving robots around the solar system, but because their current number is too small, they have not been used. Only detected by the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network.
“The evolution trap plan has not received full success, and there are still surviving robots. This news is bad enough. What can be worse than this?” A scientific research expert said a little lost.
“Yes, the situation is indeed worse than we imagined.” The Fuhrer said with a wry smile, “This worse situation is… We ignored a little bit before, we forgot… Although the evolution trap has destroyed most robots, but Don’t forget, the corpses of those robots are basically intact, and only died because some key parts were damaged. This means that their body materials can still be used. Yes, the surviving robots do not need to go to the natural environment to mine the materials they need to replicate themselves, they just need to eat the corpses of the dead of the same kind, and new robots will be made continuously…”
“Replicating yourself by devouring the corpses of dead people is at least three hundred times faster than replicating yourself by mining raw materials from the natural environment. Everyone…do you know what that means?”
The meeting room was still silent, and no one answered the head of state. The head of state still said to himself: “This means… the buffer time we originally speculated does not exist at all. The robot group will recover the victory in the shortest time, and then start to surround our solar system again…”
“My compatriots,” said the head of state with some sadness, “we have failed, the evolutionary trap plan has completely failed, and according to the current reproduction speed of robots, we do not even have the ability to launch the evolutionary trap attack on them again… fundamentally There wasn’t enough time for us to steer them down the wrong technological path bit by bit… We failed utterly…”
