Chapter 115: The Age of Sleep
After confirming that Nobita and Alain Thur had disembarked, the teardrop-shaped spaceship swirled around an osprey in mid-air, stabbed downward, and came to an abrupt stop almost ten meters above the ground, as if the inertia theorem was completely useless to him...... I saw a few flashes of light flash on the surface of this inky black spaceship, and in the next moment, its body split and combined itself, and soon unfolded like a Cindir and turned into a human form. The only difference was that there was no sound at all during his transformation, and it was difficult to hear even the slightest sound of air currents. The ship was like an old, calm gentleman, and when the transformation was complete, he landed on his feet and made only two slight collision sounds.
Light like a ghost with no weight......
"Wow, here we go again......" Nobita exclaimed in a low voice, "For you, is mass transformation all basic settings?" ”
Belongs to the Kara Great Nebula Force, seventh in line, Nebula God of War - Agnes.
The robot in front of him is not inferior in height and size to Cindil, but in comparison, his lines are much more sleek, not barbed and angular like Cindil, he is more like a giant made of steel than a "robot". After the giant was transformed, it had a mirror-like appearance, and the inky black stripes became all kinds of embellishments on its body, which looked quite like a spotted leopard. The robot's optical mirror is sky blue, in contrast to Cindil's blood-red...... Rather, its very existence is the other extreme of Cindir. The color scheme, styling design, and this calm and quiet temperament all inadvertently show the local cultural connotation of the Kara Nebula.
It seems to be the opposite of Mecca Tobia.

"It's you." Alain Se said calmly, "I haven't seen you for decades, and your body has also been renewed." ”
"Identity Scanning...... The confirmed target is the third nebula god of war - Alan Se. Agnes replied in an equally barely undulating voice, "Welcome to the Cara Nemica Civilization." ”
"I don't see that I'm welcome here." Alain Tse pointed to the vast expanse of white earth beneath his feet and asked, "The last time I visited your planet, I didn't have this planetary shield. As far as I know, the Karastar government built this fortification on its own initiative without submitting any report to Yulian. ”
“…… As you know, Karaxing's political system is highly democratized. Sixty years ago, after a unanimous vote by all citizens, the government announced that the entire Kara Nebula would enter the 'Age of Sleep', and began a series of plans to do so. Prior to this, public demand for the plan was high, so this was to be expected...... Aside from falling into a collective sleep, Kara has not done anything to harm the Cosmos, including this resolution, which is completely in accordance with the law. Therefore, after government research, the behavior is characterized as an internal resolution of civilization, and there is no need to report it to Yulian. ”
"The Age of Sleep?" Alan Tse was a little puzzled, "What does this mean?" ”
"Except for the leader of the civilization of the Great Kara Nebula, Hilda A. With the exception of Ms. N. Kara, all of the Kara people below have fallen into a peaceful sleep. Noah, a supercomputer system powered by controllable antimatter heaps, simulates human dreams with ultra-high computing power, weaving a dream of their own for each Kara person. In dreams, they can interpret everything and use everything as they want, and they can easily get pleasures that cannot be obtained in the material world. All citizens are asleep, the polity is stagnant, and the AI production line maintained by Noah is still functioning, but it is only at a minimum efficiency...... In the real world, the equipment that keeps citizens 'sleeping' only needs to consume the right amount of electricity, sufficient nutrient solutions, and oxygen, and can continue to operate for about 900 years. The entire Karastar has entered a state of low energy consumption. This is the 'Age of Sleep'. ”
Yes, this is the age of restful sleep.
All of them fell asleep, fell asleep, and fell asleep sweetly in their sweet dreams. In their dreams, they can experience a completely different life, a completely different way of living...... Hilda built an eight-thousand-meter-thick wall for her citizens, enclosing the entire planet. In this way, no matter what happens in the outside world, the sleeping Kara Star will not wake up from its deep sleep.
……
Nobita listened silently behind his back, his heart intersecting in all kinds of ways, unable to understand.
He had seen a movie called Inception, a world in which humans had built a machine that could control dreams. As a result, there are many people who simply don't care about the real world anymore, they are immersed in dreams, and they rely on cheap nutrient solutions to keep their bodies from dying, but every certain time, such as a few weeks, the machine has to stop for a while to replenish energy. During this time, the user will not be able to continue dreaming and will be forced to wake up from an omnipotent dream...... For them, just a few minutes back in the real world is an absurd dream.
He had a similar experience in his distant childhood. (Referring to the theatrical version of "Nobita and the Dream Three Swordsmen")
Maybe dreams are really better than reality?
Can...... That's on Earth! The development of the earth's civilization is not yet complete, and there will always be a distinction between the poor and the rich. There is no need for the rich to indulge in dreams, because their real life is also smooth sailing. Kara is a civilization that has completely liberated the productive forces...... Why is this still happening?
Just as he was thinking to himself, Alain Se's three large round eyes lit up with yellow light at the same time, projecting an electronic document in mid-air.
It was a notice from the Yulian Security Council, and at the bottom right was an electronic logo representing Yulian to distinguish the authenticity.
"Due to the long-term absence of the Kara Nebula from the high-level meeting of the Universe, the number of political work completed in the governance jurisdiction is not up to standard, and the power of its own 'patriarchal civilization' is inactive. Now, after discussion with other veteran civilizations, it has been decided to temporarily freeze part of the power of the Kara Nebula to deal with the civilizations in the jurisdiction. Ms. N. Carra raised the 'Civilization Question' and the 'Political Question'. Which powers are frozen...... There will be a detailed description in the paperwork, so you can study it later. "After receiving the notice, I asked Ms. Hilda to leave for the Unilink headquarters immediately to be questioned. ”
"The file has been transferred."
"The file has been downloaded."
Both of them are robots, so they don't need to submit documents as formally as humans, just download documents directly in their heads...... After all, Agnes is just a Nebula God of War, the equivalent of a Kara thug, and he himself is not qualified to make any decisions. The first thing he did when he received the paperwork was to download and upload it.
A few minutes later, Noah's resolution was also transmitted in a short wave.
"The Great Kara Nebula refuses to accept this result." "It is well known that the Cosmos Law provides for the independence of the development of civilization. It is the freedom of the civilized government and all citizens to develop civilization without threatening the side of order. Even Yulian has no right to manage it. ”
As soon as these words came out, Nobita felt that something was wrong.
As the core management of an organization, how can you hype up and enforce negative ideas that are contrary to the organization? If every civilization enters the "Age of Sleep" like you, how can Yulian fight the forces of chaos? This is absolutely not allowed!
Alain Chew apparently thinks so, too.
"Agnes, please see the current situation...... You are the Nebula God of War in seventh order! When accepting this position, you must put the interests of Unilink first. And now it is clear that such a negative way of development as the Kara Nebula is problematic and can be said to set a very bad example for many civilizations. Not to mention...... He is not an ordinary civilization, he is an old civilization! What kind of radiation capacity will the practices of an elder civilization have in the pan-civilization circle, do you still need me to explain? If this kind of passive war-avoidance mentality spreads...... When the time comes, the Kara Nebula will probably be held accountable. ”
This generous statement is enough to show that Alan Tser's skills are not shallow...... Laying out facts, reasoning, and ruthless words in one go, if you change people, you may be persuaded by him.
Unfortunately, Agnes, like him, is also an intelligent robot. No matter what he said, people recognized the rules engraved in Zhengzi's mind, and they couldn't resist it.
"I am the Nebula God of War. But until then, I'm a warrior from the Kara Nebula, and that's not going to change. In my positive mind, the potential of the 'Kara Star' is slightly higher than that of the 'Universe', and the two commands are mutually chosen, and I can only choose the former and abandon the latter. Agnes shook his head rather humanly and said, "It's also artificial intelligence...... You should understand this feeling, right? Mr. Alain? ”
"Of course." Alain Tse's voice suddenly sank, his steel-cast face couldn't make an expression, but to Nobita's ears, it was clearly a sneer that was cold to the bone, "Once upon a time, like you, I was limited by all kinds of imprints in my brain...... My 'masters' enjoy the highest potential, with combat matters at the back and my personal safety at the back. I had to fight to please them. Until one day......
I have slain all my masters. ”
Since then, this highest priority potential has completely disappeared. Nothing can bother me anymore. ”
……
The atmosphere was a little stalemate.
After all, it was Alain Thur who was more experienced and took the initiative to circumvent this strange circle.
"According to Yulian's instructions, it should have been ...... by another person," he gestured to Nobita, who was standing behind him, "and handed the order to Ms. Hilda." Now that the situation has changed, I'll take care of everything for you, so please open this shield and let us go in to see Hilda. As for whether she agrees or not...... That's her business. When we saw her, we had completed our mission so we could go back and turn it over. ”
"According to the Sleep Project Guidelines, the planetary shield must remain closed until the next awakening period arrives to counter possible threats."
"I know...... But we're all our own people, aren't we? You're just a little more accommodating. ”
Nobita is also unsure if this shiny silver robot can read the word "accommodation".
After a long silence, Agnes finally took two steps back and said, "Okay...... As the Nebula God of War, there is always the right to temporarily open and close the planetary shield of the area. I can put two digits through. However, before that...... Please let me do a full-body scan of both of you to make sure you are not carrying weapons. ”
