Earth Era

The kind of situation that General Emock said is very likely to happen. After all, with the retreat of the fugitive government, the Lyra deep space monitoring network originally used to monitor deep space intelligence has been completely destroyed, and the autonomous government does not have the ability to monitor deep space at this moment. Although the telescope can see far away, the scope is too narrow, and it is basically powerless for deep space monitoring in the true sense.

Then four years...is the best situation.

General Emock pondered for a while, raised his head and asked Xiao Yun, "How long will it take for your plan to be ready?"

Xiao Yun and Dink looked at each other, and after discussing in a low voice with several elderly scientists present at the moment, they replied, "We need at least five years."

Dink lowered his head and blushed, as if distinguishing something: "There is no way, this plan involves too many and too complicated aspects, just in terms of theoretical physics, we need to reconstruct a completely different set of Due to the physical system of our current technology, this physical system must accommodate any existing physical phenomena, and must be self-consistent, which means that we lack enough manpower and sufficient numbers of mathematical calculations and physical experiments. We lack almost everything. This is just the work of the physics group, in addition to that, the program group, the measurement group, etc. are also facing a similar situation.”

Dink's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, he murmured like a mosquito, and finally disappeared completely.

Xiao Yun said in a low voice, "But the robot won't wait for us."

There was silence in the office. So Xiao Yun repeated: "The robot won't wait for us."

The robotic group won't wait until the autonomous government has everything ready. They just go at their own rhythm and pace. When they arrive is not within the control of human civilization.

Ding Keluo said with some confusion: "I know. But what should we do?"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the office. General Emock gestured, and the man pushed open the door and hurried in.

"General, I just received a report from the laboratory that Professor Zhao Haiqing suddenly fell into a coma during his work. The medical team has started emergency rescue, but the situation is still unclear."

"Oh?" General Emock was instantly moved. He stood up and said to everyone in the office, "Let's go and have a look together."

Xiao Yun's heart also lifted. Professor Zhao Haiqing is a highly respected physicist. He was active in the front line of scientific research before the division of human civilization, proposed many important physics theories, and taught many outstanding students. It was only as he got older that he gradually quit the scientific research circle, and because of some reasons such as the difficulty of leaving his homeland, he finally stayed on the earth instead of leaving with the fleeing government.

After Xiao Yun proposed a plan and the fugitive government could no longer provide support for the autonomous government, and could only rely on the autonomous government to support itself, Professor Zhao Haiqing joined the base logically and became the head of the physics team. Such an important person suddenly fell into a coma, and the situation is unknown, which is why General Emock, Xiao Yun and others are not in a hurry.

The group left the office in a hurry, took the internal commuter car to the location of the medical team, but was blocked by a middle-aged doctor in a white coat.

"Professor Zhao is being rescued, and you can't go in." The middle-aged doctor said earnestly, "Just wait here, and I will notify you as soon as there is a result."

The group stopped in silence outside the emergency room. Above the door of the rescue room, the red round light that represents the rescue in progress was always on, Xiao Yun's heart was always on, and he couldn't let it go.

Compared with other aspects, the fugitive government has left a lot of medical technology on the earth. It can be said that the medical strength of the autonomous government is not much worse than that of the fugitive government. In today's highly developed technology, except in extreme cases, the general situation can be saved. But that doesn't make people relax.

I don't know how long I waited, the red round light finally went out, and a doctor walked out of the ward with a tired face. General Emock immediately greeted him and asked solemnly, "How is Professor Zhao's situation?"

"Sorry, we've tried our best," the doctor whispered, "Professor Zhao's condition is so critical, in fact, that he stopped breathing before he was admitted to the ward. We tried anything we could think of. The way, but still can't save him..."

Hearing these words, Xiao Yun only felt a bang in his head, and his mouth was full of bitterness. I couldn't even hear the doctor's words clearly, and I could only hear some fragments: "Professor Zhao is too old...the work and mental pressure are too much...too tired..."

Unlike Xiao Yun's gaffe, General Emock remained calm. He gently patted the doctor on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work. You should also go and rest."

A heavy and depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire base building. Xiao Yun felt that his consciousness was a little unclear, and he even seemed to be sleepwalking for the next few days, and there was always a question that kept repeating in his mind: "Time is running out, and now Professor Zhao has passed away... …what should we do?"

Professor Zhao's funeral was very simple. Under the auspices of General Emock, only a simple farewell ceremony was held, and then people once again entered the busy work.

People are working harder and rest periods are further compressed, but physiological limits are invincible, you compress rest time here and make up for it elsewhere. Under the circumstance that the body has been oppressed to almost the limit by the will, further strengthening the oppression of the will on the body will not further improve the work efficiency, but will reduce the work efficiency.

This situation once again made General Emock, Xiao Yun and others worried.

Xiao Yun began to fall into conflict. In fact, people didn't expect this to happen when they first started making plans. People have already thought of it and formulated a response plan, but... no one is willing to implement the alternative plan unless it is unavoidable.

But now it can be considered as a last resort...

Xiao Yun thought about it for a long time and made up his mind. So, on the second day, a meeting involving all researchers was held.

"As you can see, we have reached the most critical time now. The robot group can come at any time, and our work is slow. We have a thousand reasons to justify this, but no matter how we distinguish, we have a point It needs to be understood that... the robot group will not wait for us. So, in order to speed up the work progress and improve work efficiency, I propose... to implement a doping plan."

There was silence in the venue. Xiao Yun paused and continued: "For a lofty goal, I personally don't mind giving my life. But I know that I can't represent everyone, and I can't use morality to kidnap everyone. Therefore, doping Whether the plan is to be implemented or not depends on everyone's vote. In order to prevent other factors from being affected, the vote is anonymous. No matter whether you vote for or against, the rest will not know. Moreover, this vote is kept secret throughout the whole process. The data of the second vote will be completely destroyed after the end, no matter whether human civilization can continue, no matter what the final result is, no one will know that at this moment, such a vote has been held here.

Regardless of your final choice, I will respect and understand your decision. It is noble to choose to dedicate your life for civilization, and it is not despicable to choose to continue your life. Isn't the philosophy of our civilization to respect everyone's choice? So... now to vote ~www.readwn.com~ The agenda for the meeting is simple and time-packed. After Xiao Yun finished his speech, without any other links, all the participants quickly began to vote.

Xiao Yun silently pressed the agree button, and then began to wait. At this moment, Xiao Yun's thoughts are a bit complicated. Xiao Yun knows that if the vote is passed, no matter whether human civilization will win or not, he has no future... he is destined to die.

Because doping programs come at the expense of the human body. With the support of scientific and technological equipment, people only need to take 15 minutes a day to receive nutritional injections and body repair from the equipment to maintain their work needs for a whole day. People don't need extra rest, they don't need extra food, not even drinking water, relaxing, going to the toilet, etc. If a doping program is implemented...a person can perform twenty-three hours and forty-five minutes of work in optimal physical and mental condition.

But the cost of this plan is also enormous. It can cause irreversible damage to the human body that cannot be repaired even with the most advanced medical methods. All the volunteers who participated in the program died in agony within a year or two, and they were strong, and the younger volunteers may last longer, but no longer than five years. And some weak volunteers even died suddenly during the execution of the plan.

Therefore, the technology was urgently stopped and sealed as early as 100 years ago. But now, it has been taken out again.

Xiao Yun's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and he didn't come back to his senses until the beep sounded for the end of voting.

Xiao Yun put his gaze on the big screen in front of him, and was surprised to find that the vote was 2,456 to... zero.

None of the participants voted against it. (To be continued.)
