Three months later.

Shinhama City, Tokai Park, Goddess Square.

The post-war reconstruction of the city is nearing completion, and the hustle and bustle of the city has returned. Groups of tourists cross the entrance to the square, where they stop for sightseeing and take photos with the towering statue of Athena at the end of the square.

Binbin sat on a bench at the other end of the square, wearing a sunhat, and quietly stared at the tourists.

Dai Xiaoming walked over with two glasses of freshly squeezed juice, handed one of them to Binbin, and then sat down beside him. He affectionately reached out and touched the top of Binbin's head, smiled and asked, "Child, what are you thinking?" ”

Binbin held the juice and said, "Dad, I think it's very unfair!" ”

"Oh?" Dai Xiaoming smiled and said, "What's unfair?" ”

"Dad, you are the biggest contributor to helping humans defeat those robot rebels this time, I think they should carve a statue for you to put here for the world to admire!" ”

Unexpectedly, after the end of the war, the government of country Z did not demolish this goddess square, but preserved it intact as a historical evidence for future generations to admire and remember. Dai Xiaoming looked at the statue of Athena at the end of the square and smiled: "What does it matter?" Wouldn't it be great if everyone could always remember this crisis and learn from it? ”

Binbin didn't speak, just shook his head secretly.

Can humanity really learn the lesson of this time? He was skeptical.

In the square, two children who looked to be about the same age as Binbin were chasing and frolicking each other, happily waving their fists while using their mouths to add sound effects to their movements, apparently mimicking robot battle scenes. Dai Xiaoming looked at their serious and dedicated performances, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Kid, I remember that day, you fought against Aurora, the goddess of dawn, right here?" ”

"Yes, right there!" Bin Bin stretched out his finger and pointed to the center of the square, "I fought her back and forth for nearly five minutes, and she almost knocked me out...... Dad, I really thought I would never see you again! ”

When he said this, his nose was sore, and tears couldn't help but flow.

Seeing this, Dai Xiaoming hurriedly hugged his shoulders and comforted: "Good boy, don't be afraid, everything is over!" - You're good, Daddy is proud of you! ”

Bin Bin nodded and asked, "Dad, did Aurora find it later?" ”

Dai Xiaoming shook his head and said, "No, after the Battle of Xinbin ended, she never showed up again." The last confirmed sighting was when a mechwarrior saw her fly away in a southwesterly direction, and we conducted a massive dragnet search in that direction, but found nothing......"

Binbin sighed: "I didn't expect her to evaporate from the world like this?" ”

In fact, he admired the Goddess of Dawn, because her combat power was indeed very strong, probably stronger than any mecha warrior that Binbin had ever seen.

Dai Xiaoming also sighed and said: "Yes, it's not just her, but also the goddess of wisdom Athena and the gorgon Medusa, all of whom don't know where to go......"

"Dad, isn't Athena confirmed to be dead?" Binbin asked.

After Ansuna was killed in the Battle of Gyofu, the humans obtained her memory storage system and obtained a lot of valuable information from it, including the details of Athena's death, as well as the causes and consequences.

It was only then that humanity figured out what was going on with this major change within the robot empire.

"That's right, I'm glad she's dead!" Dai Xiaoming smiled and said, "Kid, to be honest, I think the biggest hero on our side in this war should be Roger's father!" …… Sometimes I think back to it, if he hadn't killed his relatives and killed Roger with a hoe, I can't imagine what the world would be like now! ”

When Binbin heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

At the height of those robot rebels, almost the entire Eastern Continent fell under their iron hooves, and the Western World was also panicked, like frightened birds. It was the darkest and most depressing time for all of humanity, and few people, including Dai Xiaoming, truly believed that they could still come back from defeat in this war.

Athena 1, that's a name that used to make everyone talk about it.

Binbin looked at the lifelike statue of Athena on the opposite side of the square, and suddenly asked, "Dad, do you remember what Qianqian, a diplomat of the robot empire, said before she died?" ”

Dai Xiaoming nodded and said, "Of course I remember!" ”

Binbin asked, "What do you think...... Could the prophecy of Athena she spoke of be true? ”

Faced with this question, Dai Xiaoming was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know ......."

Immediately after the end of the war, the human world convened a series of meetings on scientific and technological security, and the key topic was naturally how to ensure the safe application of science and technology in the future and avoid similar incidents. The meeting was discussed intensely, and a series of specific preventive measures were introduced.

But can seemingly wishful thinking really ensure that similar crises don't happen again?

Even Dai Xiaoming, one of the participants, couldn't believe this. Perhaps, as Qianqian said, technology is constantly developing, artificial intelligence is also constantly evolving, and there will always be a day when human beings will not be able to control them......

Dai Xiaoming couldn't help but think of the famous saying again: While human civilization is moving towards its peak, it may also be sliding into the abyss.

When he thought of this, he faintly felt a chill hit him, so he had to subconsciously wrap his coat tighter.

In a corner of the Goddess Square, the two children who imitated robot fighting just now suddenly began to run quickly. Their footsteps startled a flock of pigeons, which were feasting on the crumbs of bread that had been spilled on the ground by the tourists, and the pigeons flapped their wings and soared into the air, skimming over the head of the statue of Athena, and flying away like arrows into the distance.
