The kind of scenario that General Emmerk said is highly likely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After all, with the retreat of the fugitive government, the Lyra deep space monitoring network, which was 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 the moment. Telescopes can see far away, but their range is too narrow to be powerless for deep space monitoring in the true sense.

So four years...... It's the best-case scenario.

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

Xiao Yun and Dink glanced at each other, and discussed in a low voice with several elderly scientists present at the moment before replying, "We need at least five more years." ”

Dink lowered his head and blushed, as if he was distinguishing something: "There is no way, there are too many and complex aspects involved in this plan, just in terms of theoretical physics, we need to reconstruct a set of physical systems that are completely different from our existing technology, this physical system must accommodate any existing physical phenomena, and it must be self-consistent, which means that a huge amount of mathematical calculations and physical experiments, we lack enough manpower, lack of sufficient instruments and experimental environments, we lack almost everything." And that's not all about physics, but also about programs, measurements, etc. ”

Dink's voice grew lower and lower, and at last he muttered like a mosquito, and finally disappeared completely.

Xiao Yun said in a low voice: "However, the robot will not wait for us. ”

There was silence in the office. So Xiao Yun repeated again: "The robot will not wait for us. ”

The Robot Group will not wait until the self-government has everything ready. They will only move at their own pace and pace. When they arrive is not something that human civilization can control.

Dinka said a little confused, "I know." But what do we do? ”

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

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

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

Xiao Yun's heart also rose. Professor Zhao Haiqing is a highly respected physicist who has been active in the forefront of scientific research before the division of human civilization, has proposed many important physics theories, and has taught many outstanding students. It was only as he grew older that he gradually withdrew from the scientific research circle, and because of some reasons such as the difficulty of leaving his homeland, he finally stayed on Earth and did not leave with the fugitive government.

After Xiao Yun proposed a plan and the fugitive government could no longer provide support to the autonomous government and could only rely on the autonomous government to support itself, Professor Zhao Haiqing naturally joined the base and became the head of the physics group. Such an important person suddenly fell into a coma, and the situation was unknown, which made it impossible for General Emmerk, Xiao Yun and others not to be in a hurry.

The group hurriedly left the office and took an internal commuter bus to the location of the medical team, but was blocked by a middle-aged doctor in a white lab coat.

"Professor Zhao is being rescued, you can't go in." The middle-aged doctor said with a straight look, "You just wait here, and I will inform you as soon as there is a result." ”

The group then remained silent and stopped outside the rescue room. On the door of the rescue room, the red round light, which represents the rescue in progress, has been on, and Xiao Yun's heart has been lifted, and he has never been able to put it down.

Compared to the rest of the world, there are a lot of medical technology left by the fugitive government on the earth, and 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, unless it is too extreme, the general situation can be saved. But that doesn't put people at ease.

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

"I'm sorry, we've done our best." The doctor whispered, "Professor Zhao's condition is so critical, in fact, he stopped breathing before he was admitted to the ward." We tried everything we could, but we couldn't get him back......"

Hearing these words, Xiao Yun only felt a bang in his head, and his mouth was full of bitterness. Even the doctor's words that were connected were not clear, and only some fragments could be faintly heard: "Professor Zhao is too old...... Too much work and mental stress...... Too tired ......"

Unlike Xiao Yun's gaffe, General Emek still maintained his composure. He gently patted the doctor on the shoulder and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work." Go and take a break, too. ”

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

Professor Zhao's funeral was simple. Under the auspices of General Emek, there was only a simple farewell ceremony, and then the people were once again in the midst of busy work.

People work harder, and rest time is further compressed, but the physiological limits are insurmountable, and if you compress your rest time here, you have to make up for it in the rest of the world. In the previous situation that the body has been oppressed by the will to almost the limit, further strengthening the pressure of the will on the body will not further improve the work efficiency, but will make the work efficiency begin to decrease.

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

Xiao Yun began to fall into contradictions. In fact, when the plan was first made, it was not unexpected. People have thought about it and have a plan in place to deal with it, it's just ...... No one is willing to implement that option unless it is forced to do so.

But now it's a last resort......

Xiao Yun thought about it for a day and made up his mind. So, on the second day, a meeting was held with the participation of all scientific researchers.

"As you can see, we have reached the most critical time. The Robotics Group could arrive at any time, but our work was slow. There are 10,000 reasons to excuse this, but no matter how we tell the difference, we all need to understand that it is...... The Robot Group will not wait for us. So, in order to speed up the work and improve the work efficiency, I propose...... Implementation of the doping program. ”

There was silence in the room. Xiao Yun paused and continued: "For a noble goal, I personally don't mind giving up my life. But I know that I can't represent everyone, and I can't kidnap everyone with morality. Therefore, whether the doping plan will be implemented or not needs to be decided by everyone's vote. In order to prevent the rest of the factors, voting is anonymous, and whether you vote yes or no, the rest of the people will not know. Moreover, the whole process of this vote is kept secret, and all information about this vote will be completely destroyed after the end, no matter whether human civilization can continue or not, no matter what the final result is, no one will know that such a vote has been held here at this moment.

Whatever you ultimately choose, I will respect and understand your decision. Choosing to give one's life for the sake of civilization is noble, and choosing to continue one's life is equally not despicable. Isn't the idea of our civilization to respect everyone's choice? So...... Vote now. ”

The agenda of the meeting was simple and the time was tight. After Xiao Yun finished speaking, there was no other link, and all the participants quickly began voting.

Xiao Yun pressed the agree button in silence, and then began to wait. At this moment, Xiao Yun's thoughts were a little complicated, Xiao Yun knew that if the vote passed, no matter whether human civilization would win in the end or not, he would have no future...... He was destined to die.

Because the doping program comes at the cost of destroying the human body. With the support of scientific and technological equipment, people only need to spare 15 minutes a day to receive nutritional injections from the equipment and body repair to maintain the needs of a whole day's work. People don't need extra rest, they don't need extra food, even if it's drinking, relaxing, going to the toilet, etc. If a doping program is being carried out...... A person can work continuously for 23 hours and 45 minutes in the best physical and mental condition.

But the cost of this plan is also enormous. It causes irreversible damage to the human body that cannot be repaired even by the most advanced medical treatments. All of the volunteers who participated in the program died in agony within the next one to two years, and the younger volunteers may have persevered longer, but not more than five years. Some of the weaker volunteers even died suddenly during the implementation of the plan.

Therefore, the technology was urgently stopped and sealed a hundred years ago. But now, it's been taken out again.

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

Xiao Yun put his eyes on the big screen in front of him, and was shocked to find that the voting result was 2,456 to 20...... Zero.

Of all the participants who voted against, not a single one voted against. (To be continued.) )
