General Emmerk's words made Xiao Yun pause, and Xiao Yun reflexively asked, "Demon? What is a demon? ”

"You sit down first." General Emak pointed to the sofa next to him and gestured to Xiao Yun, so Xiao Yun sat down with a stomach full of doubts.

At this time, Xiao Yun had time to look at the layout of this office. Although he is a prominent figure in the military of human civilization, General Emmerk's office is extremely simple, if not a little rudimentary. Xiao Yun didn't find any luxurious decorations in this office, but instead saw many cold weapons that exuded the aura of iron-blooded killing, as well as some primitive hot weapons that were already very old.

On top of General Emmerk's desk was a long knife, the blade of which was pitch-black and lacklustre, but a glance at it could discern the cold aura emanating from it. The hilt of the knife had been rounded, and it was clear that the knife must have been held in the hands of its owner all the time.

General Emak himself is like this long knife. His body is extremely tall, but his body is not very strong, but his eyes are very focused, and when he looks at Xiao Yun, he will make Xiao Yun feel that there is a knife swimming beside him.

Xiao Yun suppressed the apprehension in his heart and looked at General Emek with some doubts. General Emak stood up, but did not speak, but looked at Xiao Yun carefully before saying, "It seems that you don't know these things yet. It doesn't matter, I can tell you all about it. ”

Xiao Yun's heart was clenched suddenly. Xiao Yun realized that in the future, he would hear a lot of things that were strictly kept secret within the scope of human civilization. And the reason why I am qualified to hear these things...... Undoubtedly, because of what General Emmerk said earlier. "I am a person named by the devil to challenge."

In the recent past. The so-called challenge to myself has only received one. It was an unidentified challenge message from the Raqqa system. And General Emak called it a "demonic challenge", then it is clear that General Emak knows something he does not know.

"You may have heard about the Martian civilization." General Emak said, "Our human civilization is not the first civilization to appear in the solar system, four to five hundred million years before the emergence of our human civilization, a great civilization was born on Mars, which we call the Martian civilization. The Martian civilization has advanced to the point where it is about to enter the interstellar age, but it eventually perished due to the limitations of the dead knot. Originally, our human civilization would also be trapped in the solar system because of the dead knot. However, the original human hero Wei Feng brought back those key scientific data from the South Gate Two Galaxy, and our human civilization finally broke the knot and developed to the point where it is now. ”

These things are not secrets, but too much time has passed, and if they are not intentionally collected, ordinary people will not know these things so clearly, even if they have heard of them. Xiao Yun also belongs to the category of ordinary people, so Xiao Yun has only heard of it.

"Yes, I've heard about the Martian civilization, and I've heard about Wei Feng." Xiao Yun nodded.

General Emak continued: "But what you don't know is...... The Martian civilization is not actually trapped by the Knot of Death. The original survivors of the Martian civilization have sailed far away to the South Gate Two Galaxy. And there was a chance to recuperate, if there were no accidents. The Martian civilization will prosper again, but eventually the Martian civilization will die, so ...... Do you know the reason for the eventual demise of the Martian civilization? ”

These things that General Emek said are not something that ordinary people can know, and Xiao Yun naturally doesn't know these things, so Xiao Yun shook his head.

"When Wei Feng arrived at the South Gate Two Galaxy, he found a pyramid left by the Martian civilization on the Blue Night Star, and there was a Martian hibernating inside the pyramid, according to the information he left behind, the Martian civilization eventually died at the hands of the demon, but what the demon was, he didn't say. According to our speculation, he did not say what the demon really was and how to defeat it, but wanted to use this to coerce our human civilization to resurrect him. But...... Unfortunately, the Martian has been hibernating for so long that there is no way to resurrect him. Until now, the Martian has been stored in a scientific research base on Earth, and the secrets of the demon and the way to defeat it have been buried in the dust of time along with the Martian's sleep. ”

Xiao Yun listened silently, and at the same time kept thinking rapidly.

Xiao Yun didn't think that General Emmerk would talk about these things for no reason, so ...... What does General Emmerk say about the demon that led to the eventual demise of the Martian civilization in the first place and what is entrenched in the Raqqa system at the moment?

"Because this involves catastrophic events that may be encountered in the course of the development of a civilization, our human civilization has always attached great importance to this. After all, the demon that led to the extinction of the Martian civilization in the first place may also occur in our human civilization when our human civilization has developed to a certain stage. So our scientists did a lot of research on the ruins left by the Martian civilization, and finally we came to a conclusion. I think you, as an AI expert, have already guessed what this is. General Emak said.

Xiao Yun's heart shook suddenly, and he immediately raised his head: "Could it be that the so-called demon that caused the extinction of the Martian civilization in the first place is a robot that can infinitely copy itself?" ”

"We don't have direct evidence, but we agree that it is," General Emak said. Whereas...... You know what happened in the Raqqa system, and we also suspect that the things that exist in the Raqqa system are the same kind of demons that caused the demise of the Martian civilization in the first place. ”

"They led to the extinction of the Martian civilization in the first place, and who knows if they will lead to the extinction of our human civilization now?" General Emak spread his hands: "It is precisely for this reason that we attach so much importance to this matter, and at the same time...... I also value you so much. Because the demonic challenge is directed at you, that is, the creators of these demons believe that you are the only one in human civilization who has the means to solve this crisis. And we...... Choose to trust the enemy's judgment. ”

"Who is the enemy?" Xiao Yun asked quickly, and after a slight pause, Xiao Yun said again: "The scientific and technological strength of the Martian civilization was much weaker than ours at the moment, why do you think that what caused the destruction of the weak Martian civilization would also lead to the demise of the powerful human civilization today?" ”

"On your first question...... My answer is no, and we don't need to. "You should be clear that it doesn't matter who the guy who created these robots that can replicate themselves indefinitely. The truth is...... As long as our technology has developed to a certain extent, it is likely that it will become a very simple thing to make robots that can replicate themselves indefinitely, so simple that perhaps an ordinary person in the future can make them. So, even if there are no guys who make those robots at the moment, there will always be people who will make these types of robots in the future. Therefore, from the perspective of the general trend of the development of human civilization, human civilization will face this problem one day, if we find a way to deal with robots that can replicate themselves infinitely, we will solve this crisis, if we can't find it, then human civilization will inevitably perish - just like the Martian civilization in the past. ”

"Since this challenge is coming sooner or later, there is no point in dwelling on who the enemy is at this moment." General Emak continued, "To your second question, my answer is that since the 'demon' is born from within a civilization, the strength of the demon must have a direct and obvious relationship with the strength of the civilization that gave birth to it. For example, if the comprehensive strength of the Martian civilization is one, they can only create a demon with one strength, and then the demon with one strength destroys the Martian civilization, and the strength of our human civilization at the moment is one hundred ...... Then, the strength of the demon we created is also a hundred, and it also has the power to destroy our human civilization. ”

"Do you understand?" General Emak asked.

Xiao Yun pondered for a while, then nodded: "I understand." I agree with both of your answers, but I have one more question for you, and that is, how much evidence do we have at this moment that the things in the Raqqa system are robots that can replicate themselves indefinitely? ”

"There is no direct evidence, but we want to...... They are supposed to be this kind of thing, and the data given to me by the Führer's think tank team is that this probability is at least forty percent. General Emak shook his head, "That's why I'm seeing you today." I hope you can play your part in this expedition, and if those things are really robots, you need to find out how they exist, how they work, and most importantly, how to destroy them. I will provide you with the best possible support throughout this process. ”

Xiao Yun felt a little powerless at the moment: "If they haven't developed yet, then it's okay to destroy that planet directly, this doesn't need my participation, but if you ...... If they've developed, I, I don't know how to get rid of them. ”

General Emak said, "Since this challenge is for you...... Well, we also believe that you have what it takes to win. (To be continued.) )
