There is no point in remaining in the Rag 728 system. And as long as they escape the encirclement, with the current strength of the robot group, they are not able to pursue the human fleet. So, following General Emmerk's orders before he fell unconscious, the flagship of the expeditionary fleet, the only Earth-class spaceship, "Destiny", led the only dozen or so ships that escaped to embark on the return journey back to the solar system.

When it came, there were more than 3,000 ships and a huge fleet of millions of people, but when they returned, there was only so little left. Everyone's mood is heavy, and at the same time, everyone is confused and afraid.

The same is true for Xiao Yun. The strength of the robot group is beyond imagination, which makes people can't help but start worrying about the future: "The robot group of just one star system is already so powerful, so ...... Tens of trillions of stellar systems of robots united, how powerful are they? Such a powerful group of robots...... Is it really something that human civilization can fight against? ”

The fleet is still maintaining a regular sub-light speed, and has not yet entered the process of superlight sailing. Xiao Yun stood in front of the porthole of the earth-class spaceship at this time, looking at the dim star system in the distance, and fell into a long contemplation.

The galaxy was still dim and small, and from here it looked almost indistinguishable from the ordinary stars in the sky. But Xiao Yun knew that all this was just the surface, and under this appearance, there was an abyss that could even make people feel hopeless.

All the tragedy, all the tragedy and all the death were buried in this deep universe, where millions of lives were taken away. One of the most tragic failures in the history of human civilization. Even the flagship is almost lost here...... All these events. All in this small, faint galaxy.

Looking at the stars in the distance, Xiao Yun's heart fluctuated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this time, a staff member came to Xiao Yun's side and whispered to Xiao Yun: "Hello Xiao Yun, General Emek has woken up, and he hopes you can go over." ”

Xiao Yun's body moved slightly: "Oh? Is the general awake? How is he doing now? ”

"The military doctor said there was nothing serious, but the spirit was not very good." The staff member shook his head a little gloomily: "This matter...... You know that too. No matter who you put it on, it won't feel good. ”

Xiao Yun nodded silently: "Yes." Where is the general now? Take me there. ”

The staff member led Xiao Yun to a break room. After pushing the door in, Xiao Yun saw General Emak lying on the hospital bed. In just a few hours, Xiao Yun felt that the current General Emek had changed a lot from before. The majesty and prestige that shrouded General Emek and the prestige of being a commander had all disappeared, and now General Emek looked exactly like an ordinary, somewhat senile middle-aged man.

Xiao Yun even saw some faint white hair on General Emek's cheeks.

"You're here? Have a seat. General Emak whispered, and then gestured to the staff next to him, and the staff member walked out of the ward, closing the door by the way, so that only General Emek and Xiao Yun were left in the ward.

Xiao Yun sat down next to General Emek and wanted to say something. I didn't know what to say, so I just sighed in the end. Didn't speak.

"Xiao Yun, I came to you this time because I want to tell you something." General Emak said slowly, "You must be very curious about this matter. You used to ask me, but at that time I didn't think it was appropriate to tell you, but now it's different. ”

Xiao Yun's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Yes...... Is it about you, and why the top of the human government takes me so seriously? ”

"Yes." General Emak said, "The strength of the Robot Group is far beyond our imagination, and you, as one of the most critical figures, need to know the whole story." This may have a certain impact on you, but you must bear it, and you must find the right way to deal with the robot group and save our human civilization from the crisis. ”

Regarding General Emek's words, Xiao Yun chose to remain silent. Because Xiao Yun really couldn't figure out why. In any way, Xiao Yun is just an ordinary person, although his identity as an artificial intelligence expert has a certain connection with this incident, but this does not seem to be able to be elevated to the point of "the most critical person" and "saving our human civilization from the crisis", right?

How can I, Xiao Yun, take on such an important responsibility?

Xiao Yun was silent, waiting for General Emmerk's further answer.

"Whether or not that genius played a major role in the evolution of the robot group, at least, we can't deny the existence of this genius, right?"

Xiao Yun nodded: "That's true." Although it is almost certain that robots can evolve themselves without the intervention of that genius, the fact that such a robot can be built is itself a testament to the horror of that genius. ”

"But if I say...... How would you feel if that genius was you? General Emak said slowly.

"What?!" Xiao Yun stood up suddenly, and a monstrous wave suddenly set off in his heart, "General Emek, I don't understand what you mean by this. What does that genius mean that I am? ”

"Sit down, sit down, don't get excited." General Emmerk gestured, "Of course I know what happened to you and all your experiences, and I know that you have no chance, nor do you have the time to create such a large robot empire, but ...... If the genius who founded this robot empire has the same appearance, the same genes, the same way of thinking as you, and in short, that genius is simply copied from your genes, will you feel a little more acceptable? ”

"This can't be, this can't be!" Xiao Yun cried out in a lost voice, "Another me copied from my genes? How could this be? Who copied me? What is the purpose of copying me? ”

The vibration in Xiao Yun's heart was like a rolling wave, and there was no way to calm down no matter what. Xiao Yun kept turning around in the ward, and kept muttering a word in his mouth: "How can this be? How can this be? ”

General Emmerk looked at the restless Xiao Yun like this, and did not speak, nor did he dissuade. It was only after Xiao Yun calmed down that General Emak said: "When we first came to this conclusion, we also felt incredulous, but countless evidence points to this, and this evidence tells us that this conclusion is absolutely true, and it has 100% credibility. ”

"That's right, the truth of the matter is that there is an organization that steals your genes, uses your genes to copy another you, and then takes the other you as the leader, and that organization creates robots that can replicate themselves infinitely, and can evolve themselves without relying on independent self-consciousness or relying on the scientific system...... Now, you know why we value you so much, and ...... Why didn't I tell you why? ”

General Emmerk said quietly, his words full of weariness: "Because they are another thing you have made, it is clear that only you have the best chance of solving them." And because I don't want to affect your thoughts and ways of thinking, I won't tell you all this before. But things have come to this...... There is no need to hide all this from you, you should know the whole truth of the matter, I think, it will help you in your thinking. ”

Xiao Yun was still in shock, unable to extricate himself. This matter is too unacceptable to accept, could it be that this has caused a great loss to human civilization, in the original Raqqa Galaxy, the "genius" who killed his lover, killed all his companions and friends, and then let go of himself like a dead dog, could it be another self?

It took Xiao Yun several minutes to digest this information. Xiao Yun, who had barely calmed down, asked General Emek with some bitterness, "So, can you tell me how you and the human government came to this conclusion?" What kind of organization is that organization that stole my genes? What is the purpose? And what exactly does that mean in the other challenge I sent to me, "Can you beat me this time?" ”

"We secretly investigated all of your social interactions, and then accidentally discovered that you had been stalked. Continuing to follow this trail, we found that the people who followed you collected samples of your hair, nails, dander, blood, and saliva in a very stealthy way, and also found some signs of replicating human beings in a secret factory. General Emak said, "Do you want me to show you the complete investigation file?" It took thousands of G's to accumulate this information over the years of work of thousands of intelligence officers and scientists in various disciplines. ”

"No, I don't have to." Xiao Yun said with some bitterness, "I believe in their conclusions. So, can you answer my remaining questions? What exactly is that organization and what is its purpose? And also...... Why did you choose me? (To be continued.) )
