An unfamiliar map soon appeared on the light brain screen.

There is no Asia, there is no Europe, there is no Africa, there is no South and North America, there is no Australia.

Everywhere there are fragmented lands, which are surrounded by the vast sea, forming new islands.

Unable to find the familiar Italian boots, the Mediterranean Sea has completely disappeared, the Pacific Ocean as a whole has shrunk by thirty percent, and the Atlantic Ocean has expanded to an incredible extent.

“…… Is this the last image sent back by a surveillance satellite? Tianhao held on to the wall with a trembling hand, he now desperately needed a little strong enough support.

"Yes." The old lady kept repeating these two or two monotonous words.

Tianhao slowly raised his head and stared at the screen with his red eyes: "There are billions of people in the world, are you sure there are no survivors?" ”

The mechanical answer was full of coldness: "Yes. ”

Tianhao's eyes widened suddenly, and his violently fluctuating emotions caused him to lose some of his temper and voice hoarsely: "What about me? Am I not still alive? If, according to you, all the human beings in the world are dead, then what am I? ”

"You're different, you're the Awakened." The light brain has no emotion, it just answers the question itself.

"The Awakened?" Tianhao gasped for breath, reason and sobriety controlled the brain, and the previous gaffe was due to the huge gap between reality and ideals. He's recovering quickly, at least not as crazy as he was now.

"All individuals who received dormant orders to go into a state of slumber before the war are awakened." The text on the screen jumps line by line with the cursor: "You are the third batch, the base number is 000152, and the overall number is A, B, A 000271." ”

"The third batch?" Tianhao, who had recovered slightly, couldn't help but open his mouth wide and asked in amazement, "What does this mean?" ”

"You're the third designated person to go into hibernation." Even when it is explained, the logic of the machine is still so rigid.

"Wait! Wait a minute! Tianhao suddenly felt that an indescribable fear was invading the brain space: "Old mamma, do you mean: in front of me, there are two groups of people like me?" ”

"It's not the same. The first hibernation consisted of six people. Their status belongs to the highest level of secrecy, representing the highest power and top scientific research level of the entire country. Humans can't fight natural aging, and diseases such as cancer are terminal at that time. The old-style dormancy method was based on cryogenic and rapid freezing, which was the most advanced research at the time. It was claimed that the men were dead, but in fact, they were put into a hibernation chamber at the end of their lives, frozen for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Tianhao couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't the first batch of dormants thawed?" ”

The light brain was silent for a few seconds: "There are many factors involved. Their mothballing base is of the highest level, and I am only responsible for receiving and storing the relevant data through the main control device. The changes of the times, the progress of science and technology, the composition of power groups in different periods, and the impact on the current situation...... The existence of the first dormants is classified as top secret, and even high-level researchers have no access to them. This is a power struggle for you human beings, and you should understand it. ”

Tian Hao let out a long breath in the gloomy environment: "Go on, I want to know more things." ”

"There were eleven dormants in the second batch. This is a hypothetical attempt at the future in a state of peace. The East-West confrontation will exist for a long time, and no leader with the slightest brain will take the initiative to provoke a war. The probability of small-scale armed conflicts within the confined range is extremely low, and it is more about mutual testing and friction through remote control of third parties. As long as the global economy continues to grow steadily, even if the growth rate is slow, the two sides of the confrontation will remain and work together to stabilize the peace situation. The existence of nuclear weapons is only a deterrent, and any new nuclear-armed states will be severely sanctioned by both blocs. In such a situation, history and existing culture have never been more valued. The selection criteria for dormants are more based on loyalty to the core of power and their own cultural attainments. ”

"Literati?" Tianhao felt more and more incredulous: "You mean, the second batch of dormants are all literati?" ”

"Literature, art and traditional culture are the core selection criteria for dormants at this stage. War can destroy everything, but civilization must continue in a way that is unique to our people. The program lasted for twenty-two years, with all dormants voluntarily signing a sleep agreement. ”

"So...... What about me? While hesitating to ask, Tianhao's heart was also full of expectations.

"You belong to the third and last group. The sixth financial crisis in New York had a bad impact on the global economic environment, with London's financial markets falling one after another, the world's major stock trading indices falling one after another, and countries looking for solutions to the crisis. It was then that the confrontation escalated into a crisis, and both sides chose to use war to stimulate the economy. But this situation is different in any world war in history, and advanced technology has led to the emergence of weapons of mass destruction, whether in the war in the first hand or in the second hand, the final situation is a lose-lose situation. Out of consideration for the future, a total of 50,000 people, including you, have been put into the dormant program. ”

Tianhao stared at the light brain screen, and his heart was full of emotion.

Thoughts go back to that day many years ago. The base commander called himself into his office and pulled out top-secret documents. That's when I learned about the dormancy plan. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders...... According to the contents of the document, all dormants were automatically promoted to one level, and as a colonel, he got the long-awaited Brigadier General Venus, but it was only in the form of his mind and files. There is no physical object that can be touched, with unhesitating responsibility and ideals, injected into medicine, and fell into a deep sleep.

"That war...... The war that broke out after I slumbered. We...... Did you win? Sad thoughts dominate the central nervous system, and the voice becomes low and hoarse.

"A nuclear war is actually a misunderstanding."

Looking at the line of words that popped up on the screen, Tianhao's pupils instantly shrank: "What did you say?" What does that mean? ”

"It's a bit complicated." The emotionless light brain did not compromise on the execution of the order, and explained very clearly: "Do you know about the technical project of the "Human Transformation Project"? ”

Tianhao nodded slowly: "Know." ”

For a long time, Darwin's "Origin of Species" and his theory of biological evolution have been questioned. More and more people refuse to believe that they evolved from a monkey. This view was reached at the end of the 19th century, when opponents began to conduct a comprehensive study of the earth's environment and various data from human beings. They believe that the earth's environment is not as livable as imagined, and that there are too many insurmountable physiological defects in the human body.

This view has had a wide reach, and some of its theoretical bases have attracted the attention of all parties. The most important part of this is the "giantization" and "diversification of human functions".

"Giantization" belongs to the traditional school of opposition to it. The core of the theory is based on the mass of the earth and the research data of the later universe, and believes that the optimal height ratio of human beings should be about three meters, and on the basis of strengthening their own physique and comprehensive environmental adaptability, the population will be further reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of "exchanging quality for quantity".

This view has a large number of adherents. Elite and ordinary have always been the two opposing groups of conceptual forms in human society. The few elites at the top of the pyramid believe that most of humanity is just a waste of food and that they are the source of all kinds of chaos. Conversely, the general population has an equally strong dislike for a very small elite, believing that the obedience of the minority to the majority is the only option for the distribution of power.

New text continued to pop up on the screen: "Fifty years before the Third Hibernation Project, we had already carried out research on the enormity of the human body. The initial objective was entirely military. Bone strength, athletic ability, comprehensive battlefield response, material weight-bearing ...... All items were combined, and soldiers between 270 and 300 centimeters in height were the most suitable, and the first 30 test subjects were injected with drugs and trained inside the base. ”

Two hundred and seventy centimeters?

This is the average height of the northern barbarians right now.

Tianhao struggled to control his violently beating heart and continued to stare at the information displayed on the light brain screen.

"The Giant Project was a success, and the whole program lasted for 45 years, from the drug injection to change the inherent form, to the genetic level to directly act on the fetus, the giant proved to be significantly better than ordinary humans in all aspects. In consideration of the people's ability to accept and the social panic that may be triggered, we can only temporarily use a small group within the military as a pilot project, and finally achieve the goal of civilizing and transforming the country through long-term and multi-level extensive publicity. ”

"In other words, all the humans in this land are genetic modifications of the Giant Project?" Tianhao asked seriously.

"Yes."

"They're not survivors?"

"It's not."

“…… How did they get here? Tianhao stared at the screen: "There are no survivors, where did they come from?" ”

"Beginning in the nineteenth century, countries developed plans for the continuation of civilization in the context of mass destruction. Among them, the project with the largest amount of investment is space migration. There are two keys to this: the first is to choose a planet that is suitable for human habitation. The second is an interstellar spacecraft capable of carrying humans on a large scale. ”

Some have questioned that there are too many uncertainties about the "terrestrial planets" discovered by space radio telescopes. It is highly likely that the habitability data from computer analysis is an unknown ingredient that has not yet been discovered by humans. In the case of oxygen, for example, it is possible that the space analysis data will come from something else with a similar composition. It can pose a deadly threat to humanity. After all, the "terrestrial planets" on paper are too far away. Physics, Mathematics, Biological Reproduction System...... All of this is just proven to be true on Earth, and once you leave, go into space, on another strange planet, no one knows if these things will work. ”

"The establishment of a large number of frozen sperm banks is carried out in this context. Both military bases and scientific research bases are equipped with intelligent release devices. These devices are inspected annually and the information base is networked with satellites to automatically determine the best release time for the breeding population. In particular, a year before the outbreak of the nuclear war, small intelligent robot technology was successfully developed, they carried integrated detectors, relied on solar energy to continuously operate, searched for environmental data in the outside world, and sent it back to the base, and the central optical brain changed the release standard of the reproduction body according to these data, so as to achieve the best effect. ”

"In other words, these people on the Northern Continent are all the products of intelligent machinery and frozen sperm banks?" Tianhao doesn't know whether he should cry or laugh?

"Yes."

"Why is their wisdom ......" Tianhao hesitated for a moment, and changed to a more appropriate question: "Hmm...... Their society is so uncivilized? ”

The northern barbarians are actually very smart, and the national teacher Wu Peng is the best example.

"The level of civilization in a society requires a lot of knowledge input to confirm the retention. After the outbreak of nuclear war, the earth's environment was very harsh, and the central light brain determined that it was impossible to start the reproduction plan at that time. Moreover, there were a large number of post-war human survivors, and the main problem they faced was the lack of food. Initiating a multiplication program will only make the situation worse. The impact of an asteroid on Earth caused a spherical catastrophe, and the harsh environment lasted for a long time. Frequent earthquakes have caused severe damage to the bases, and by the end of the long dust period, the central computer has lost the ability to instill knowledge of the multiply during the catastrophe of earth activity. We can't do anything but maximize the number of humans. ”

Tianhao let out a silent sigh in the dark shadows: "What about the other species? I'm talking about animals. Could it be that an asteroid destroyed only humanity and that the resurgence of other species was part of an overall reproduction plan? ”

"Yes."

The speed of the light spots flickering on the screen was noticeably slower than before, and the "old mama" seemed to be thinking: "The standards of the giant-like human body are impeccable." Initially, the plan was led by the military, with a focus on training fighters. Later in the project, all of the reproduction organisms were genetically modified, so that the humans who appeared on the northern continent after the Great Apocalypse were extremely adaptable to the environment, and their comprehensive abilities surpassed those of their predecessors. Especially the ability to resist radiation. ”

"Radiation?" Tianhao's heart sank: "You mean, there is still residual radiation in the Northern Continent?" ”

"This radiation is not the product of a nuclear war, but a series of disasters that follow an asteroid impact. Mainly volcanic eruptions and crustal movements. ”

"What's going on with the Dragon Pass? And the whites of the southern part of the continent, why are they so short? Tianhao immediately thought of a series of questions.

"That's a lot of questions, and I need to answer them all." The light brain is step-by-step, rigid to the extreme.

Tianhao changed to a more comfortable standing position: "Say, I have enough time." ”

"A large part of my data comes from surveillance satellites. Monitoring images show that the Great Destruction caused different levels of damage to various parts of the planet. ”
