"This is the escape plan developed by our Institute of Extraterrestrial Civilizations." Zheng Fanghai gently closed the virtual display screen in front of him, and then looked at the many participants in the conference room, "Do you have anything to add?" ”

The dean of the Academy of Sciences sighed deeply and said, "Anyway, this plan is too illusory, pinning its hopes on a super alien civilization...... This, this ......"

The dean of the Academy muttered a few words, but the rest of the words remained unspoken. However, anyone can understand the meaning of the dean's words.

Up to now, human civilization has not even come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, has not discovered the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, and has not even discovered extraterrestrial life in a broad sense, even simple life.

But...... What if the evolutionary trap scheme is really weakened or even completely ineffective, and does not pin hope on an ethereal super-alien civilization? Even if there are many risks associated with contact with a super alien civilization, even if there may be no alien civilization at all, human civilization will not be able to find a place to rest even if it escapes for 10,000 light years, even if human civilization may be consumed by the endless dangers of fleeing, all flesh and blood may be consumed, and finally disappear in this universe...... Human civilization must choose this plan, because no matter how illusory hope is, there is a silver lining, and if you stay here, you will have no chance at all.

The atmosphere in the conference room was dull and oppressive. After the slightly sad words of the president of the Academy of Sciences stopped, no one spoke in the conference room for a long time. In the end, it was the Führer who broke the silence: "Then so be it, I order, the preparations for the escape continue to be carried out quickly, and at the same time, the Lyra deep space monitoring network should also pay close attention to the movements around the solar system, and report immediately if there is an abnormality......"

Zheng Fanghai's escape plan was adopted without a vote and without anyone's explicit consent. Whoever knows very well in their hearts that, as things stand, there is no room for discussion in this matter, and it is impossible for people to find any other solutions. In that case, why bother to vote...... What about agreeing?

Xiao Yun was also one of the participants in this meeting, but Xiao Yun did not express any opinions at this meeting, and just watched silently throughout the meeting. The same goes for General Emek.

At the end of the meeting and when he left the conference room, Xiao Yun happened to get together with General Emek. After only a few moments, General Emmerk seemed to have aged many years, and even his hair was a little gray.

The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, just sighed to each other, and walked away.

I don't know how far away from the solar system, in the deep darkness of the universe, a red star that is a little smaller than the sun has carved out a bright field here with its own light and heat. There are three planets orbiting around it, and among those three planets is a huge rocky planet, and although it has an atmosphere, the surface is still desolate, with no water, no life, and only yellow sand and huge rolling sand dunes everywhere. From time to time, there are thousands of miles long, bottomless deep ravines, like huge wounds on the planet.

Wind and yellow sand mean changeable terrain, a huge sand dune can disappear without a trace in just one night, and a lake-like sand pit can be buried in the next moment.

For it, nothing will be eternal. Perhaps the dark red sun, which rises every sixteen and a half hours, is eternal, but it is more like a mechanical infinite repetition, and it obviously has no meaning.

This desolate and dead planet has maintained this for billions of years. But one day more than a decade ago, it broke this immutable situation. There are so many robots that have descended from outer space, and those robots are moving wildly on this planet, reproducing and reproducing, and when they are at their highest, they have even significantly changed the overall landscape of this planet.

But that changed a few months ago. A sudden radio message harvested the lives of all the robots, and the great and eternal force of nature took over the planet once again, and the yellow sand that was hidden from the sky was rolled up again, burying all the robots that had been on this planet under the ground, dust is still dust, and dirt is still dirt.

The hundreds of billions of robots didn't make any changes to the planet in the end.

This galaxy is not always calm and unchanging. When the robot group was still active, this was the world of robots, and after the robots disappeared, some interstellar stones from other star systems began to enter this star system frequently. These interstellar stones follow a predetermined trajectory, usually making a circle around the galaxy and leaving, but some choose to travel a longer distance, circling the three planets in the galaxy in turn, and only leaving after exploring all three planets.

Because they are not ordinary interstellar stones, they are part of the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network, which is tasked with detecting movements in the surrounding environment of the solar system. And this star system is obviously one of the targets of the Lyra deep space monitoring network. Judging by the number of probes that have reached this star system, the level of attention that this star system has received is quite high.

It is precisely because of this that when there is an anomaly on the surface of that huge rocky planet, the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network will be the first to observe it.

The so-called first time is not actually the first time in an absolute sense. Compared to the entire planet, a robot is so small that even if the sensitivity of the Lyra deep space monitoring network is increased tenfold, the probability of detecting the movement of a robot is very low. In fact, by the time the probe satellite orbiting the planet detected anomalous changes in the planet's surface, the number of active robots had increased to tens of thousands.

Perhaps at dusk, a surviving robot broke out of the ground under the yellow sand, and with the help of the cover of the complex terrain, it quietly began its own breeding journey, and one after another young robots were born from its womb and then grew rapidly, and then began to reproduce again......

The robots eventually converged into a large collective, and as a result of their collective cooperation, the robots' reproduction rate increased again, and was eventually detected by the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network.

As a result, a signal was sent from this exploration satellite, and it was quickly transmitted to the network node satellite, and the node satellite uploaded the information again, and after dozens of signal relays, this signal finally came to the main base of the Lyra deep space exploration network located on the earth, and then quickly reported to the head of state.

"The evolutionary trap plan has not received full success, and the fact that there are still fish that have slipped through the net in the robot group has been confirmed." The Führer said in a somewhat heavy tone, "The Lyra Deep Space Exploration Network has detected clear information and ...... It's worse than we think. ”

There was absolute silence in the room, and no one spoke.

Anyone knows exactly what this means. Although the surviving robots have only been found in one place at the moment, this means that it is definitely not that simple. The qualitative change from zero to one, and the change from one to one hundred is only a quantitative change. In other words, it is unlikely that there are only one surviving robots in this place, most likely...... There are still a lot of surviving robots around the solar system, but they are too few to be detected by the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network.

"The Evolutionary Trap scheme has not been fully funded, and there are still surviving robots, this news is bad enough, what could be worse than that?" A scientific research expert said with some despair.

"Yes, it's worse than we thought." The Führer smiled wryly and said, "This is a worse case...... We overlooked a little bit earlier, we forgot...... Although the Evolution Trap destroyed most of the robots, don't forget that the remains of those robots are mostly intact, and they only died because some key parts were damaged. This means that their body materials can still be used, and the surviving robots do not need to mine the materials they need to replicate themselves in the natural environment, they only need to eat the corpses of their dead kinds, and the new robots will be created in a steady stream......"

"Replicating oneself by devouring the corpses of one's own kind is at least three hundred times faster than extracting raw materials from the natural environment. Everyone...... Any idea what that means? ”

The room was still silent, and no one answered the Führer. The Führer, still thinking to himself, said, "This means...... The buffer time we had speculated to have existed was non-existent. The robot group will recover the victory in the shortest possible time, and then start to encircle our solar system again......"

"My compatriots," said the Führer with some sadness, "we have failed, the evolutionary trap scheme has completely failed, and we don't even have the ability to attack them again at the current rate of reproduction...... There's simply not enough time for us to steer them down the wrong technological path, bit by bit...... We've utterly failed ......" (To be continued.) )
