Time: Probably such and such a year, such and such a month, such and such a day

In the twilight of life, it is difficult to see the relics left by human beings on the earth.

But unexpectedly, this time there was no absolute hegemon-level biological group on the earth.

It seems that the Creator felt that this was against order, so he ...... It simply makes the ecology of the earth a closed loop.

So, even if you're an apex predator, you can get killed by rats.

It's probably a game of chess.

But...... Although there are no human beings on the earth anymore, the traces of human beings have not been completely erased.

The underground fortress used to store nuclear weapons still exists, and the seeds of various plants in the seed bank are still well preserved.

……

"Uh-oh?"

The one who made this sound was the Alpha 4000, a robot that would roll around.

It doesn't have a specific name, and it's most likely the last Alpha 4000 still in operation on the planet.

This data is not very accurate.

But......

If there were a few more pits, the last Alpha 4000 would have gone out.

After another 1,794,121 attempts, the orange Alpha 4000 still couldn't climb out of the pit.

But today it seems a little different.

The sun didn't rise as usual, or the mountains in the distance suddenly grew taller.

The Alpha 4000's inability to derive energy from sunlight leads its computing core to a conclusion.

"I'm going to hang."

No, no, no.

The Alpha 4000 has no emotional setting, and it should come to the conclusion that I'm about to stop moving.

Yes.

According to the arithmetic formula originally designed by humans for alpha, this conclusion does not even need to be concretized to be aware of it.

So it automatically moved to a low-power state, and no longer struggled with the pit that trapped it.

The fluorescent flicker, and the Afar 4000 seemed to be asleep.

……

In the sky, the dark shadow that obscured the sky was approaching.

At first, I thought it was a rain cloud, but when it broke through the clouds, it revealed its true face.

It turned out to be a shield-type ship.

Some people wondered, why not call it a flying saucer?

Because...... It doesn't spin and fly?

Emmmmmmm

The shield ship slowly descended and crushed the Alpha 4000 into the pit.

Not long after, a door opened in the corner of the spaceship, and an uncle's voice came: "Aha! We're back!! ”

"Yes, we're back, but as we originally calculated, humanity is gone." A mechanical voice echoed him.

The fog around the hatch lifted, and the uncle revealed his true face.

It is an armed robot with a humanoid silhouette.

It doesn't have a mouth, and the sound comes from its stomach, which is strange because the two robots can communicate perfectly by radio, but they ...... but chose to imitate humans.

"That'...... Am I not the overlord of the earth? "Armed robot Saru 9000 asked.

"Judging from the data, the creatures on this planet can no longer pose a threat to you, but the problem is, if you go to the mountain in front of us this morning, you have 72.356‰ struck by lightning, and then your body will be close to a critical level, conclusion...... I might be able to bury you with him. "The owner of the mechanical voice finally showed up.

It was a stele-like thing, and as it moved, the body repeated the process of disassembling and reassembling it.

This is the Venerable 2000 robot, an exploratory-class navigator.

Saru let out a hearty laugh when he heard this: "Hahahaha, don't mess with brother, I'm just joking." ”

Still unable to understand why Saru was trying to imitate such purity, the Venerable One did not smile, and silently dragged a black box out of the ship.

Saru followed.

The two robots moved forward one after the other along the broken path in front of them.

In the evening, they found a good place to bury next to a large banyan tree.

"According to the assessment results of the comprehensive conditions, this is the best burial place in this area, but the black coffin made of black silk gold only guarantees that he will not be decomposed and devoured by the root system of the plant for a thousand years, which is still contrary to the last order we received." His Holiness said.

Saru ignored it and began to dig the pit on his own, his movements were not regular at all, and even from time to time there were laborious movements, which looked ......

It's like a human being working hard.

His Holiness had been observing Saru's behavior and asked, "According to the strength of your organism, such a job should be very easy for you, but why do you have to imitate humans so thoroughly?" ”

Hearing this, Saru put down the tool shovel and wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, probably for it, whether that place was a forehead or not was a problem.

"Oh hoo...... We're burying the bones of a human now, so we have to be dignified, so that when he is buried in the ground, he feels that he is still wrapped in familiar people and things, isn't it? Saru's answer was seamless.

His Holiness was even more skeptical.

"But the corpses in the box we carry have been stored for 3,500 years, and it is no longer possible to perceive everything around it from the analysis of the ghost energy waveform alone, so this kind of imitation is meaningless."

Saru looked at His Holiness speechlessly, "I said...... Do you have no thoughts of your own except to obey orders? ”

His Holiness replied, "I designed it to complete the navigator work of the explorer in dormant transmutation, and the stress response to unexpected events exists, so I think I have a personal mind, but I reject meaningless ideas. ”

"Oh? …… So why do we take such a big risk to go through the rift in the Celestial Lake and return to Earth to bury these bones that no longer have a sense of the outside world? ”

His Holiness was silent for a while, then turned to look at the box and replied, "This is an order. ”

Saru smiled: "Bingo, did I just say it, you don't understand anything except obeying orders." ”

With that, Saru began digging again.

His movements were still clumsy and looked laborious.

His Holiness continued to observe Saru's every move, as if he wanted to deeply analyze Saru's true intentions in this imitation.

But it failed.

It concludes:

Communicate.

The premise is:

Refuses to assist Saru in completing the burial, knowing that it gives a definite conclusion that satisfies the workings of the formula.

"Hey, don't be stunned, put the box in."

His Holiness didn't move, there was a point of light in the center of its cold body that could move freely, and at this time, ...... The points of light were scattered into three, and the three points of light were triangular and placed in the center of the body.

"I don't think it's the best place to be buried, so I don't agree to be buried here." As he spoke, His Holiness dragged the box and left.

Saru was stunned, and then caught up and said angrily: "Hey, didn't you say that this is the best place before?" ”

His Holiness's torso flickered twice, and two arcs of light split through the rock that stood in its way, and the cut was as flat as a mirror.

"My analysis is based on real-world information, and at the moment, this is not the best place to be buried."

Saru looked at the cut of the rock, and after a moment of silence, "Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say." ”

Venerable: "There are only differences in the distribution of functions, there is no specific hierarchy, I don't have leadership attributes for you, so the specific plan still has to be done through the communication between us. ”

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... Hah......" Saru laughed a few times and then stopped talking.

……

And so it keeps going.

Two robots walk through the last wreckage of the magnificent city and stop in front of a hole at the end of the city.

"It should be good here." Saru checked the sign, which read, "Military Strongholds, Idlers are not allowed to enter".

"A backward product of the enterprising era, where mankind used to centrally mothball all kinds of weapons and equipment, including all kinds of nuclear weapons, and the data shows that these nuclear weapons have leaked, considering the impact of radiation...... It's still not the best place to bury. His Holiness changed direction again as he spoke, dragging the box away.

Saru was stunned for a moment, then followed and said, "Hey, when are we going to go?" ”

Venerable: "Until the most suitable place to bury him is found." ”

"Uh...... Did you realize that there is no such thing as the best place on the planet? ”

His Holiness stopped, and a huge pit appeared in front of it.

It's like an enlarged version of the hole that trapped the Alpha 4000 before, like the contrast between the Earth and the Sun.

This is the impact pothole, a sign of the end of the enterprising era.

"So far, I haven't found a base station, and I haven't been able to determine where the core data of the simulated Earth data is, so your conclusions are not of practical value." After His Holiness finished speaking, he slowly fell backwards.

Then, in a constant change of shape, it enveloped the box and then slowly rose.

Seeing this, Saru also activated the auxiliary flight system.

The two robots began to fly through the crater, which is 500 meters deep and 55 kilometers so far.

Time has placed a lot of water here, and the crater has become a paradise for aquatic life and nearby birds, and although the light is not abundant, it still looks beautiful.

"Okay, okay, I've said you want to communicate, but it seems like you're more trusting of your data......" Saru grumbled as he flew, but soon he stopped talking, focusing all on the scenery around him.

Venerable: "Data analysis is a prerequisite for execution. ”

Saru snorted twice, too lazy to argue.

Just flew like this for a few days.

Saru and His Holiness came to the face of a splendid marvel of humanity.

It is a landmark building of the Leap Era, which is characterized by "massive", "splendid", and "eternal".

Here, humanity has left its mark with all its might.

When Saru saw this palace of miracles, he immediately felt hopeful.

It raised its weapon and opened fire into the sky, the sound of restless gunfire driving away the herbivorous beasts in front of the palace of miracles.

Tens of thousands of white birds scattered and let out bursts of piercing calls.
