my tech museum

After learning of Xu Lei's plan, the members of the Human Security Alliance showed great shock. After all, whether it is the sleeping consciousness or the evolution into a mechanical body, it has completely subverted the normal cognition of human civilization in the history of history. To put it seriously It's against ethics.

That is to say, in an embarrassing situation right now, there is no other better choice.

Otherwise, if you push the mechanical body in a stable period, you can guess without thinking that you will face great resistance from the outside world.

It can only be said that time is fate.

They had stated earlier that Xu Lei would take full responsibility for the operation and try to save the lives of the people hiding in the air-raid shelters on Earth as much as possible.

Naturally, he will not intervene midway.

After all, they have self-knowledge and know that they can only rely on Xu Lei to save the situation.

So just as Xu Lei expected, this human security meeting was just a formality, and finally all members passed this special rescue plan, even though they knew it was extremely risky.

However, in order to ensure better management of mechanical humans in the future, Xu Lei still needs to formulate a detailed execution rule.

This is constrained.

After all, once human beings leave the mortal body and succeed in mechanical ascension, they will have more powerful power, which is also a big hidden danger in a certain way.

However, it takes a certain amount of time for Xingtong to construct a sleeping space of consciousness.

Although he knew that delaying by one minute would bring more danger, Xu Lei had no choice but to hope that Xingtong could speed up a little bit.

Although the number of media virtual helmets used to escape from deep sleep is sufficient, and with the help of intelligent industrial robots, it can meet the needs of the personnel in the air-raid shelter, but the special virtual space is not well established, and even if the consciousness enters the virtual world, there is no way to sleep safely.

In this case, it doesn't take long for consciousness to dissipate on its own.

By that time, it would be empty to fetch water from the bamboo basket.

What Xu Lei thinks about this is that he hopes that the air-raid shelter can last for a longer period of time and block the dead matter from the outside world.

Otherwise, no one can change this deadlock.

However, there is always a gap between ideal and reality.

Xu Lei and the others still underestimated the dead matter produced by extraterrestrial civilizations.

a few days later.

Just as Xu Lei began to study the manufacturing technology of the amorphous alloy mechanical body in his mind, and was about to complete the first experimental product on the Shenzhou, bad news suddenly came from Li Chengzhe.

……

……

"Report to the captain, there is something wrong with some air-raid shelters, and you may need to come here."

Thursday, June 2036, 10.

Frostfall.

Shenzhou mechanical cabin.

Just as Xu Lei brought various materials transported from the earth and moon bases into the mechanical cabin, and was about to try to manufacture special amorphous alloys, the avatar of Li Chengzhe popped up in the latest version of the holographic intelligent quantum terminal device worn on his wrist.

Judging from what he said, it should be a difficult thing to encounter.

Although the amorphous alloy mechanical body can carry human consciousness, according to the introduction of technical knowledge, we can know that it is a toy developed by other advanced civilizations.

Even if the museum's evaluation of it is not bad, it must be cautious.

prevent problems.

It should be known that this amorphous alloy mechanical body is related to the safety of billions of human lives.

Before its effect is really determined, it must not be mass-produced, otherwise the existence of defects will be a great waste of resources.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Xu Lei intends to create an experimental body first to verify whether it can act as a brain to accommodate human consciousness.

And there is also a guarantee that the degree of manipulation of the body is not lower than that of the original body.

Only after a series of tests and confirming that it can indeed help humans achieve mechanical ascension can a large amount of resources be invested in this project for mass production.

Anyway, once the star pupil's space is constructed and everyone's consciousness is temporarily put to sleep, there is no need to care about the physical condition.

Even if it is affected by dead matter, it's no big deal.

Therefore, this bought the most time for Xu Lei and the Human Security Alliance.

However, since Li Chengzhe took the initiative to contact at this time, it showed that the matter was indeed very important. Thinking of this, Xu Lei had no choice but to temporarily stop his work, turned around and walked towards the core command and control cabin of the battleship.

But this incident also reminded Xu Lei.

According to the technical knowledge in his mind, it is not easy to complete the manufacturing of the amorphous alloy mechanical body, especially the difficulty factor of the first attempt is doubled, and it is unknown how long it will take to manufacture the first test body .

After all, the manufacturing environment on the battleship is definitely not as good as the Binjiang City Research Institute, and he is alone.

Inefficiency is perfectly normal.

So facing this situation, Xu Lei thought about temporarily waking up some scientists in the research institute, such as Gu Sanlin and the others.

This saves him a lot of energy.

Anyway, for the sake of their safety, no matter the company's top management or the scientific research personnel it owns, they were all brought aboard the Shenzhou by him.

Right now just enough to make it work.

Originally, Xu Lei wanted to send them back to Binjiang City to continue their research after the Pluto crisis was resolved.

But now the planet Earth is covered by dead matter, and all living things except the remaining human beings have lost their lives. There is absolutely no way to go back. We can only move the workplace to the Shenzhou, and wait for the moon and Mars to establish Immigrant cities can get rid of the uniqueness of the dropped planet.

of course.

We still need to wait for him to come back to talk about this matter.

The mechanical cabin is located in the upper space of the battleship. Although it is some distance away from the core command and control cabin, considering that the entire starship is only more than 300 meters long, this distance is automatically omitted.

that's it.

Xu Lei arrived at his destination in just a few minutes.

As the system automatically recognized Xu Lei's identity and opened the hatch, he stepped in when he immediately noticed Li Chengzhe with a sad face.

Obviously he really has something to discuss.

"What happened to the air-raid shelter?" Xu Lei took the initiative to ask, and walked quickly to Li Chengzhe's side.

Li Chengzhe was depressed: "Today, ten air-raid shelters around the world that were modified according to the standards of the Human Security Alliance have lost the effect of blocking dead materials, causing millions of deaths in total, including two air-raid shelters in China."

"I'm afraid the time left for us is getting less and less." Li Chengzhe did not forget to add a sentence as soon as he finished speaking, his slightly red eyes fixed on the content on the screen.

These few words of Li Chengzhe have already explained the problem.

The air-raid shelters that have been modified in the early stage have no way to completely isolate the influence of dead matter, but only slow down the speed.

If this situation continues, then the number of air-raid shelters that will cause accidents will increase until the Earth Star completely becomes a planet that no longer has carbon-based life.

And Xu Lei also knew that with the continuous spread of dead matter in the past few days, the scope of influence has now entered the land.

Still expanding rapidly.

Most importantly, according to the results calculated by Star Pupils, the spread speed of the dead matter seems to have increased a lot after entering the land.

I'm afraid it will completely cover the whole world in half a month.

Hearing this result, Xu Lei couldn't help but frowned, thinking about it carefully.

He searched for such a long time in the upper space of the science and technology museum, and finally spent 4000 million points of influence to buy the technology exhibit of the amorphous alloy mechanical body. His purpose was to save these people who survived in the air-raid shelter.

If even they all died one after another, how much meaning did they do?

Xu Lei admitted that he had selfish intentions.

He wants to use the amorphous alloy mechanical body to improve his overload situation, but this does not affect his willingness to save people.

No one wants human civilization to be reduced to a billion individuals.

With his thoughts running fast, Xu Lei didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately asked Xingtong: "How far has the construction progress of the virtual space of the sleeping consciousness reached, and how long will it take?"

"Boss, according to the calculation, it will take about three days." The mechanical body next to Xingtong said seriously.

Xu Lei frowned: "Then, with the current degree of completion, can it support consciousness uploading and storage?"

"This will lead to the possibility that the consciousness body will be incomplete and dissipated. The risk rate is as high as 80.00%. I don't recommend that you upload it in advance, boss." Facing Xu Lei's question this time, Xingtong shook his head very resolutely, which is enough to see This path is not going to work ahead of time.

Knowing all the situation, Xu Lei has no good solution right now.

Can only continue to wait for three days.

Of course he understands that according to the current situation, many people may die in three days, but the fact is the only way to accept it.

But before that, Xu Lei thought it necessary to let everyone know the whole truth.

At least you have to know who your enemy is.

Now it’s not like the time when all marine life is dead. People’s acceptance is gradually increasing these days. In addition, intelligent industrial robots are also deployed in air-raid shelters, so there is no need to worry about chaotic scenes.

When this thought appeared in his mind, Xu Lei could no longer suppress his thoughts.

In the next second, he suddenly turned around, stared at Li Chengzhe and explained: "Announce to the world that after three days, people can upload their consciousness to sleep through the virtual helmet, and in the future, they will wake up with a new mechanical body and reunite with their families. In the name of issuing the regulations for the management of all human mechanical bodies."

Every place has its own rules and laws.

It is relying on the so-called rules to ensure the internal stability of civilization and promote the development of science and technology.

Human beings are bound by laws.

Mechanical bodies also require a special set of management methods.

As for the regulation on the management of mechanical bodies, it was Xu Lei and several congressmen who jointly decided and passed it.

Li Chengzhe had long known about the mechanical body and the plan to save the lives of the people in the air-raid shelter, so he had no objection to Xu Lei's current order, but had some doubts.

After a little hesitation, he took the initiative to ask: "Captain, what if someone is unwilling to accept this proposal?"

"Do you not accept it..." Xu Lei pondered slightly.

Everyone has the right to choose their own life and death.

Just as Lee Seung-cheol worried, some people are not necessarily willing to accept the plan of uploading consciousness to make themselves a robot, because in their view, this violates ethics and morality, and they will no longer be a normal human being from now on.

The personnel in the key air-raid shelters are all seniors.

Compared with young people, their thinking is more rigid, and they do not have a high acceptance of special things.

In addition, people who have lived for decades may not be too afraid of death, and it may be a relief for some people.

Xu Lei will definitely not force these people to upload their consciousness, and he will not be able to control the thoughts of so many people.

So after careful consideration, he gave the answer to Lee Seung-cheol: "Let everyone choose freely, we should respect them no matter what, and we can't use the continuation of human civilization to kidnap them morally."

"I understand the captain." Hearing this, Li Chengzhe nodded heavily, and immediately began to execute.

-

At this time, for the people in the air-raid shelter, it is impossible to get out even if they are forced to go out.

Because with the extinction of all marine life, and the sudden death of those who thought they had nothing to do and returned to the city to enjoy life, even if they only saw part of the information, they would feel extremely terrified.

It is simply a trembling from the soul.

They knew very well that choosing to leave the air-raid shelter at this time was courting death.

In the eyes of most people, the transformed air-raid shelter is the safest place except the underground dormant base.

Just stay in there and you'll be fine.

It is worth mentioning that the members of the Allah organization all over the world deliberately provoked the confrontation between humans and robots in order to cause trouble for the future technology and human security alliance.

It turned out that none of them returned to the dugout behind.

So much so that after the influence of the dead matter spread from the ocean to the land, they became the first victims, and even Li Yadi, the founder of the Organization of Allah, died on the dining table.

It can only be said to be ironic.

in the afternoon.

The underground air-raid shelter in Binjiang City.

As the city where the future technology is located, Binjiang City's air-raid shelter renovation project also has the participation of engineers from the underground dormant base.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the safest air-raid shelter in the world.

So when the outside world is full of death, the place is full of laughter.

In addition to many uncles playing chess with each other, even the aunts did not dance in the square when they arrived here, and only a small number of people were experiencing virtual games.

The intelligent industrial robots patrolling both sides of the passage are responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the distribution of various materials.

The whole scene was harmonious to the extreme.

and the outside world belong to two extremes.

But at this moment, no matter whether they were using the holographic smart terminal device or immersed in the virtual game, they all received a declaration from the Human Security Alliance.

At the same time, the built-in equipment in the air-raid shelter also started to play related content.

"What is this?"

"The declaration issued by the Human Security Alliance, could it be that the crisis has been lifted and we can all go out?"

"Let's take a look first."

"Hope it's not bad news."

When someone discovered this situation, news spread quickly, causing quite a commotion in the air-raid shelter.

It is no exaggeration to say that the existence of the Human Security Alliance is their source of confidence. They believe that with Future Technology and Xu Lei, the crisis will definitely be resolved smoothly.

So when I saw the announcement issued by the Human Security Alliance at this time, I was naturally very curious.

It's just that after everyone read the above content, they fell into a deathly silence, because no one thought that there would be such a big gap between what they thought and what they thought.

The content of this declaration is not complicated.

To put it simply, it officially announced the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, and the event that their transformed Pluto caused this human catastrophe, and clearly introduced the current situation of people. If you don’t choose to let your consciousness through the virtual helmet If it is uploaded to sleep, the air-raid shelter will lose its effect of blocking dead matter sooner or later.

And at the end of the attachment are the regulations governing the human mechanical body.

The regulations stipulate that those who are resurrected through mechanical bodies will automatically join the Space Force of the Human Security Alliance.

The surviving human beings cannot take the initiative to apply to be transformed into a mechanical body, and only natural old age and death can upload their own consciousness.

This is also to ensure the normal continuation of human civilization.

After all, if all people eventually become machines, then human civilization will exist in name only.

Not necessarily a good thing for future development.

Incorporate human beings transformed into machines into the Space Force of the Human Security Alliance. In the future, they will follow the fleet to complete planetary resource mining to fight against extraterrestrial civilizations. Normal humans will be placed on the moon and Mars to develop various technologies to further enhance the strength of human civilization.

This is something that Xu Lei finally determined after careful consideration in many aspects.

Faced with such a large amount of information, many people have no way to accept it for a while, and only feel that their worldview has collapsed.

I really didn't expect that from the very beginning, the enemy facing human beings is not Pluto, but the extraterrestrial civilization that created Pluto. No wonder all human beings have devoted all the various countermeasures they have formulated, and finally paid a painful price. cost.

And just as Xu Lei expected.

After reading the declaration issued by the Human Security Alliance, many old people expressed their unwillingness to become a mechanical body, preferring to end their lives like this.

of course.

There are also people who hold different views.

I think that as long as I can survive and have a chance to reunite with my children, it's okay to become a mechanical body.

What's more, to some extent, this is also a freshman.

The key is that after joining the Space Force, he can also fight against extraterrestrial civilizations and avenge the deaths of so many human compatriots.

So as the influence of this declaration gradually fermented, a lot of voices discussing this matter could be heard in the gathered crowd. After all, there are only three days left for them now.

"Fuck me, I said well, how could there be such a big meteorite crashing over, I dare to think that there are extraterrestrial civilizations who are trying to trick us."

"He actually went to our planet to poison and killed so many people and animals. This bloody account must be settled. Isn't it just turning into a mechanical body? As long as I can do these bastards, I don't have any complaints even if I turn into a walking dead .”

"That's right, you absolutely can't just die so aggrieved."

"Count me in, my child is still waiting for me, how could he die here."

"I believe in future technology, and I am also willing to upload my consciousness, waiting patiently for the day when I wake up again."

"It's absolutely impossible for me to become that kind of iron lump who is neither human nor ghost. I have lived enough in this life anyway, let the rest be left to fate!"

"How can such a thing as consciousness uploading be possible? In my opinion, the Human Security Alliance is planning to abandon us. How can we have a chance of winning in the face of powerful aliens."

"There are still three days to consider. I hope everyone will be cautious."

……

at the same time.

A corner near the wall.

I saw an old man with thinning and gray hair sitting here alone, keeping silent, and seemed out of place with the surrounding crowd who were discussing the content of the Declaration of the Human Security Alliance.

Zhang Jingtong is 65 years old this year and was once an excellent veteran.

In the best period of his life, he lived happily. Not only did he fall in love and get married freely, but he also had a son.

But it is not the wish of the day.

I don't know if their happy life has been envied by God.

His son and his wife died unexpectedly in a car accident within two years of their marriage, leaving only an infant girl behind.

The couple managed to bring up their granddaughter and send her to high school. His wife also passed away, leaving them to live alone.

Originally, due to his deep affection for his wife, he planned to follow her directly, but considering that his granddaughter was still studying in school and was his only relative in the world, after careful consideration, he finally decided to take care of his granddaughter until he got married. Then go find your wife.

In this way, after seeing his wife and son when he went underground, he finally had an explanation.

But at this time, the Pluto crisis came.

In order to let his granddaughter go to the underground dormant base to sleep with peace of mind, he promised his granddaughter that when she wakes up, the first person she sees must be grandpa.

Because of this promise, he must not die here.

He is very aware of the character of his granddaughter. She has lost the company of her parents since she was a child, and her heart has become very sensitive and fragile. If she wakes up and cannot see herself, she is afraid that she will go to extremes.

It can be said that what he bears is not only his own life, but also that of his granddaughter.

Even though this would turn him into a mechanical body that lost all flesh and blood, he would not have any complaints.

As long as you can survive.

And just when he secretly made up his mind, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear: "Old Zhang, do you really want to use the virtual helmet to upload our consciousness according to what the Human Security Alliance said? What is the difference between this body and death?"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Jingtong slowly raised his eyes to look, and suddenly a fat aunt came into view.

It was his new acquaintance after entering the air-raid shelter.

Zhang Jingtong didn't mean to impose his own wishes on others, but only calmly replied to the question: "I just hope that I can live and meet Xiaowen again."

After speaking, his right hand unconsciously clenched the virtual helmet transported by the intelligent industrial robot two days ago.

The same thing is happening in the air-raid shelters that have not been breached by dead matter around the world, and everyone is caught in a tangled choice.

Even when I was sleeping, I was thinking about this question.

Try to imagine what it will look like after becoming a mechanical body, and whether it can adapt to a new life.

But three days passed quickly, and as Xingtong officially built a special sleeping space for consciousness, the choice that people were reluctant to face came as scheduled.
