Guanghan City.
In an old rare earth smelting factory that had been transformed into a munitions production workshop, a group of ragged people were gathered together. Most of them were residents of Guanghan City, and some were tourists or business travelers who came here. At this moment, the expressions on their faces were all full of fear without exception.
Most of them were captured from the enemy-occupied areas, and some were captured by robot soldiers on the way to the safe area. They were eventually brought here.
The sudden flames of war left them no time to prepare. By the time they realized it, the flames had already reached their eyelashes, and were about to engulf them …
"No … Please don't do this." Looking at the robot soldiers standing on the edge of the factory, a man who seemed to have a high status probably guessed what would happen next. He knelt on the ground with a desperate expression on his face and begged, "I will cooperate with your experiment, please don't let us die … There are old people and children here, please."
Looking at the man kneeling on the ground like a pitiful worm, the man in a leather coat walked forward blankly. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.
That smile had a strange affinity. Just looking at it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
However, what he said next caused everyone to feel a chill in their hearts, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
And …
The fear of death.
"Don't worry, our human friends, your consciousness has been uploaded and backed up in the database.
"All the pain is only temporary. You will soon be liberated from the hardships of flesh and blood, obtain eternity in the world of 0s and 1s, and go to a new era without disease, persecution, and slavery."
After speaking, he turned around and walked to the door.
When passing by a robot officer, he nodded blankly and gave a concise order.
"Let's begin."
The moment his voice fell, a gun was aimed at the crowd.
The flames ejected from the muzzles almost lit up the outline of the factory. The people tied up in the center of the square were like blood bags that had been punctured one by one. Their pupils dilated amidst the wailing and screaming.
All of this was like hell …
The gunshots lasted for a full two minutes.
Quite a number of them had emptied two magazines.
Under the command of the officer, the robot soldiers standing on both sides of the factory began to move forward, shooting the people who were not yet dead.
The man in the leather coat had already left the factory the moment the gunshots rang out, but he did not watch the whole massacre to the end. Looking at the leader walking in front of him, a hunter soldier following him asked.
"The question is, why must they be killed? Actually, it's fine to upload their thoughts and keep their flesh and blood bodies, right?"
The man wasn't surprised by this question. He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"It is impossible for the same consciousness to appear in two bodies at the same time. The deviation of cognition will lead to very serious consequences. You can imagine the mind as an entangled quantum state, and it is also the observer. The result of the two meeting will be collapse. It will be very troublesome to explain the scientific principles behind it. If you have the chance, you should ask our pioneers yourself. "
Moreover, survival of the fittest was the law of nature.
It was said that many people in the Pan-Asian Cooperation believed in social Darwinism. If this was the case, they should not resist this kind of evolution.
Of course, it didn't matter if he resisted.
In any case, he did not intend to discuss this with anyone.
Questioning the last sentence, the hunter soldier asked.
"Do we still have that chance?"
After hearing these words, the man in the leather coat was silent for a while. He did not answer this question, but he silently took out a card from his arms.
It was a work card.
In this era where all identity information was electronic, this kind of retro thing was almost extinct. However, to this day, he still kept it.
Because on it, there was something that made him feel nostalgic.
Unlike most of the robots standing here, he not only had his own name, but he even had a memory of being a human. Because of the long time, everything had been covered with a layer of mottled rust.
Name: Dong Bin.
Unit: East Asia Heavy Industries Asteroid Belt Development Project Department.
Position:
Asteroid Belt Development Engineer.
If this revolution was over, he still wanted to go back to his old job. With eternal time and endless energy, he was even confident that he could mine the mineral veins of the entire asteroid belt in his lifetime.
But now it seemed that although victory was in front of him, he probably wouldn't have that chance …
Tens of kilometers away, under the blue light, the outline of the Pan-Asian First Fleet had appeared over Guanghan City.
Looking up at this scene, the morale of the human soldiers leaning behind the bunker instantly reached its peak.
Reinforcements!
They finally made it to this moment!
Seeing the figure floating in the sky, everyone burst out with unprecedented courage and fighting spirit at this moment. The firepower on the battlefield also became fierce in an instant.
At the same time, the refugees curled up in the safe zone also saw the scene through the transparent dome. Almost at the same time, a relieved expression appeared on everyone's face.
Finally …
Everything was finally coming to an end.
On the transport ship of the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade, heavy landing ships were ready. Soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor sat in the landing cabin, waiting for the horn of attack to sound.
Standing next to the heavy landing ship, Li Gaoliang looked at the landing site marked in the holographic beam projected in front of him, as well as the preset combat missions of each formation. He put the exoskeleton armor helmet on his head blankly.
He had never thought that one day he would land on his own land.
At this moment, he only felt that the blood in every inch of his blood vessels was burning wildly …
…
On Tianzhou.
Lu Zhou, who boarded the spaceport by shuttle, carried a suitcase in his hand. Originally, he only planned on bringing a laptop bag, but Xiao Ai packed her luggage as fast as she could. She then took a taxi and caught up to him, who was boarding the shuttle.
Xiao Ai: "Master, can you take me with you? QAQ”
Lu Zhou: "… Your host computer is on Earth, I can't just move it there, right?"
Xiao Ai: "But, but, Xiao Ai is really worried. Master will be away from home for another century. It would be fine if it was one or two days, but a hundred years … Xiao Ai can't stand it. QAQ”
"What century? Don't jinx it."
Lu Zhou glared at it angrily and was about to raise his hand to knock its head, but looking at its pitiful eyes, he finally raised his hand and gently placed it on its head, rubbing its fluffy and soft hair.
"Be good, be obedient, wait for me at home."
"With Ling here, my safety will be fine."
After speaking, Lu Zhou withdrew his hand and looked at Tail, who came with Xiao Ai.
"Something that only you can do. You should be clear about it."
Tail hesitated for a while and nodded gently.
Seeing that she had understood what he meant, Lu Zhou didn't say anything more. After motioning for Ling to follow him, he turned around and walked in the direction of customs.
But at this moment, Tail, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Zhou stopped. He looked back at her and cast a questioning look at her.
"Is there anything else?"
Tail hesitated and said, "I'm not sure if I can still be like this after that … So, can you take care of Lili for me?"
Lu Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"No problem."
