Chapter 347: Stop working

The galaxy has been transformed into a chaotic interstellar pinball battlefield under the agitation of trillions of robots. The continuous, extremely fast robotic bombardment even changed the state of the red dwarf. Its brightness began to rise rapidly, and strong solar winds blew out of it, sweeping across the galaxy at thousands of kilometers per second. The poles of the planets attached to it appeared with brilliant auroras, like long whips waving in the universe.

Auroras and meteors, smoke and explosions together create an eerie and magnificent scene in this galaxy.

In the asteroid belt, a spy satellite disguised as an interstellar stone is also silently observing all this, and transmitting this information and images in real time. After the relay transmission, this information will also come to Earth, where it will be picked up by the staff of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network.

Not just these two places, but there are many more of these things happening in this dark and deep universe. Countless robots have escaped from faster-than-light travel due to loss of power, entered the navigation mode dominated by inertia, and become real interstellar wanderers, and countless robots close to the stars have turned into cannonballs and crashed into stars or planets......

Endless robots are ice and snow, and the signal from the solar system is the summer midday sun. Wherever the sun hits, the snow and ice melt quickly. In the face of this blow that seemed to come from the depths of their souls, the robots had no power to resist, no matter how large their numbers were, no matter how tough their defenses were. No matter how powerful the attack is...... It doesn't matter if you receive it, you will die.

Countless spy satellites have seen a similar picture here. At that moment, a tidal wave of data began to pass through the deep space monitoring network. The signals transmitted at a speed of 100 times the speed of light are constantly crisscrossing between different communication devices, communication nodes, and communication bases, and finally come to the solar system, to the Lyra deep space monitoring base.

The first signal to arrive was from the E7368 field. The content contained in this message was automatically judged to be SSS+ by the intelligent program of the deep space monitoring system because it was too strange, so this information was the first to be presented to the staff.

"The Robot Group, numbered 1621, has advanced to E7368. The spy satellites located there have detected changes in the curvature of space caused by the robots traveling faster than the speed of light......" A staff member casually said to his colleagues as he looked at the information in his hand, "Hey, the E7368 field is only less than two light-years away from the Ruhrmann system. At this rate, they will be there in just a few months......"

The hearts of the staff began to heal.

In the next moment, another message with the importance rating of SSS+ arrived. The staff member pressed the receive button and began to read again: "For unknown reasons." The group of robots, numbered 1621, broke away from faster-than-light travel almost simultaneously. Entered the state of regular sailing...... Hmm, what?! Got into a regular sailing state? This is not right, the E7368 star field is a void, there are basically no macroscopic objects, what is the robot group doing there to break away from the faster-than-light voyage? Is this necessary? ”

This slightly bizarre piece of information immediately caught the attention of the staff. People gathered one after another, and after a while, a thought appeared in the minds of the staff at the same time: "Is it because of the evolutionary trap?!" Has the Evolution Trap finally worked? ……”

The appearance of this thought made people's hearts skip a beat. It's also easy to verify this, after all. It takes time for the signal to be transmitted, and it is only necessary to calculate whether the area to which the "harvest" signal is transmitted at the moment overlaps with the area where the robot group is inexplicably detached from the speed of light, and you can quickly draw a conclusion if the time of the two occurrences overlaps. There is almost certainly a causal relationship between these two events, and it can never be a coincidence. The odds of such a coincidence are simply too low, so low that they are negligible.

Everybody knew this, but everybody didn't verify it.

Because they also know...... In fact, you don't need to verify it yourself. If the Evolutionary Trap scheme really works, the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network will soon relay further information.

All eyes were on the instrument. Everyone was suppressing their excitement and waiting for further news. At this moment, the room was silent, and people even breathed softly, as if they were afraid of alarming something.

As one had hoped, further news soon arrived. The staff member quickly opened the message, and then read in a low voice: "For unknown reasons, the intensity of the infrared rays emitted by the robot group is rapidly decreasing...... So far, it's down by one percent. ”

"Reduced intensity of infrared ray sources?" The staff member whispered, "What causes the intensity of the infrared ray source to decrease?" ”

"Obviously, only a decrease in temperature can cause this phenomenon." Another staff member said, "And we know that the heat of the robot is generated by the continuous work of the internal instruments, because the instruments are always working, so there will be a steady stream of heat generation, under the work of the heat dissipation instrument, the body heat of the robot will be maintained at a constant level, neither reduced nor increased." And now...... The temperature of the robot's body has been reduced...... Does this mean ......"

The staff member hesitated, not acknowledging his guess. Although this speculation has almost been confirmed to be 99% true, it is so big that even if he is so sure, he would not dare to say it.

Another staff member said: "Obviously, this means that the inside of the robot's body has stopped generating heat. Without the replenishment of heat, their body temperature will of course begin to slowly decrease, just as our human body will gradually become cold after death. Whereas...... Why does the inside of the robot's body stop generating heat? This...... Is there any other explanation other than that the instruments inside the robot's body have stopped working? ”

Several staff members glanced at each other and shook their heads slowly.

A little joy burst out of the minds of several people. The staff member resisted the urge to cheer and forced himself to maintain the stability of his voice, but he couldn't help but tremble a little in his voice: "This, this, I think, we should immediately notify our higher authorities, the Führer, and Xiao Yun......"

"Okay, I'll go and inform, you guys continue to observe here!" A staff member screamed, turned around and ran out of the monitoring room.

At this moment, two months have passed since Xiao Yun pressed the red button and broadcast the "harvest" signal into the universe. In the past two months, Xiao Yun has not had a good life. Not only Xiao Yun, but also the Führer, General Emek, Xiao Muhong, heads of various government departments, and scientists who knew about this matter, all of them were in a state that seemed to be in a trance.

People have a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, as if it never happened, people are still going on with their work, the Führer is still dealing with heavy government affairs, General Emak is still discussing defense matters with his staff officers all day long, Xiao Yun is still in the scientific affairs committee all day long, they seem to be working normally, but sometimes in the middle of their work suddenly they will stop, stunned, as if the soul has left the body.

Today is also a difficult day for Xiao Yun. At this moment, Xiao Yun is processing and calculating some data, but he can't calm down in his mind, and there is always an anxious fire burning in his heart, which can't be extinguished no matter what. After working hard for a long time, Xiao Yun finally sighed, pushed away the document in front of him, and gave up the idea of continuing to work.

"Success is not terrible, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the waiting before the ending is revealed...... Xiao Yun sighed silently, "Facing this gamble that determines the fate of mankind...... I'm afraid that anyone, even if they are as tough as the capital, can't calm down. ”

Xiao Yun left his seat, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the mountains in the distance, and once again entered into contemplation.

I don't know how long I stood here, but all of a sudden, a shrill bell broke the silence in the office. Xiao Yun frowned, walked quickly to the desk, and pressed the answer button.

An unfamiliar face appeared in the picture, Xiao Yun didn't know this person, but through the person's epaulettes, Xiao Yun recognized that this was the staff of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Base. So Xiao Yun's heart suddenly lifted: "Has the evolution trap plan come to fruition?" ”

"Chairman Xiao!" The staff member yelled excitedly, "We just received information from the satellite, we confirm that we have noticed something unusual, please come to the base immediately!" ”

Xiao Yun asked in a deep voice, "Have you notified the Führer?" ”

"The Führer has been notified, and the Führer will arrive immediately!"

"Okay, wait for me, I'll leave now!" Xiao Yun said, turned off the communication video, and walked out of the office quickly.

It wasn't until he sat on the fast rail car that Xiao Yun calmed down a little, but his hands kept shaking, and he couldn't stabilize it no matter what. (To be continued.) )
