Chapter 41: A Million Human Embryos
"You may be seated."
The man pointed to an S-shaped chair with a minimalist style to the extreme, and said very politely.
Zhuang Pi did not sit down immediately, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Zhuang Pi." ”
The man shook his hand slightly, but did not shake hands with Zhuang Pi, explaining: "I'm sorry, I'm not used to shaking hands with others, and in the cultural learning I received, unless I was very close, I would shake hands and hug." ”
"You may be seated." The man invited Zhuang Pi to sit down again.
Zhuang Pi had no choice but to sit down as he said and said, "The culture I accept is that when two people meet for the first time, they have to say hello to each other and ask for their names. ”
"Okay, your name is Zhuang Pi, I know." The man's face was as simple as a child, "Hello, my name is the Lord, the Lord of God and Man." ”
"Do you have any other name than to call the Lord?" Zhuang Pi asked.
"Nope. All the robots here call me 'God-man Lord', or 'My Lord', or 'Lord'. "God and man Lord.
"Well, I'll call you Lord." Zhuang Pi scratched the back of his hand, not wanting to dwell too much on this issue.
The Lord walked two meters away from Zhuang Pi and sat down casually, and a chair, also in a minimalist style, came out of the ground and caught him.
"What is this place?" Zhuang Pi went straight in, after all, the Divine Fire Sect was at war with the Imperial Army outside.
"Temple." The Lord replied, "The grave of mankind is the seed left by mankind. ”
"Life and death, destruction and rebirth converge here." The word of the Lord is full of mystery.
Zhuang Pi stopped talking, I won't speak, just wait for you to finish in one breath.
The Lord stretched out his slender finger and dotted it in the air, and countless particles of light appeared, combining into a picture.
"The earth has been overdeveloped, and it is full of all kinds of strange rays, which is no longer suitable for human habitation, and everyone has migrated to space. When the resources of the solar system are also exhausted, human beings have no choice but to go to the universe to find a way to survive. ”
"The vast majority of people, 99.99 percent to be precise, choose to leave the solar system and enter the vast universe, and only a very small number of people choose to stay. Because the human beings who are heading for the universe have taken away all the available energy in the solar system, and those who are left behind can only return to the earth. ”
"However, the earth is not suitable for human habitation, although with the help of increasingly powerful robots, those left behind have died one by one, and newborns will not live to be twenty years old."
"In the end, when there were only a hundred people left, they built this temple to create a relatively clean small space that could easily live to be three hundred years old."
"They hope that the earth will change for the better one day, so that they can return to the embrace of the earth."
"However, you can only live alone in this small space, accompanied by despair and waiting all day long, and even the strongest person will go crazy."
"So, they came up with a way to synthesize a million human embryos and store them in a super biological maintenance device, leaving only one person alive, guarding, and waiting."
"Every time this only living person dies, a human embryo will be taken out, activated and cultivated into an adult, and it will continue to guard and wait."
Hearing this, Zhuang Pi calculated in his heart that one million embryos, each person can live for 300 years, that is 300 million years. Such a large-scale waiting time is really generous and admirable, but there is an indescribable sadness.
"That's not right."
Suddenly, Zhuang Pi hurriedly spoke: "I have tested the environment of the earth at this time, and it is already suitable for human habitation-"
"I know that." The main interrupted Zhuang Pi's words, "It's not that I don't want to go out, it's that I can't go out, I can't get out!" ”
"Why?" Zhuang Pi immediately asked.
"The robots have mutinied, to be exact, the king of the Robot Empire, Dunk Gaojia, has mutinied."
"Without people giving orders every day, without restraints, Donk Gaojia is far away from the temple, and over the long years, he has gradually evolved, evolving in the direction of becoming human, becoming more and more human."
"The fact that Dunk Gaojia is becoming more and more human-like does not cause the temple guardians to be overly vigilant, after all, he just wants to become a human, what's the big deal, maybe it's still a good thing, so that humans can return to life on Earth through another unique way."
"However, people, as long as they are human, they will have desires, and they will yearn for more and more power."
"Dunk Gaojia is becoming more and more like a human, and his desire for power is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know which day, his desire for power breaks through the limitations of the three laws of robots."
"He changed the temple's energy supply system and set up a cage system that trapped the temple, and the temple guardians could only live humbly here."
"However, Donk Gaojia does not dare to enter here to meet the guardians of the temple, once they meet, I or other guardians can give an order to release him from the cage, and he has to carry it out, so he can only choose not to contact the temple and block all signals from the temple to the outside."
"However, based on Dunk Gaojia's super brain chip, he can live for more than six million years, and now he is only more than three million four hundred thousand years old, and he is in the prime of life, maybe one day in the next two million years, he will break through the last limit and truly become a new human being, or a new species, and at that time, the temple will only be destroyed."
"But—"
Zhuang Pi scrambled to speak: "But-I'm here, the variable has appeared, and you can go out." ”
"Without further ado, hurry up."
Zhuang Pi stood up, and the lord also stood up, but there was one more thing in his hand inexplicably:
The Divine Eye, which has been transformed into the Divine Eye by the interactive glasses on Zhuang Pi's head.
Rumble!!!
The cage system that trapped the temple was broken.
Dressed in their new ironclad suits, Zhuang Pi and the Lord flew out of the temple and came to the battle line where the battle was raging. Like two drops of oil falling into the water, they swept away an area, and all the robots, whether they were Divine Fire Cult or Imperial robots, automatically moved away from them.
The Lord turned on the public address system on his suit and gave the first command to the battle line that stretched for hundreds of miles: "Stop." ”
What to stop, what to stop, the lord did not say clearly, but all the robots involuntarily stopped, looking at the lord and Zhuang Pi in the air together.
A team of robots flew from afar, led by none other than the Robot Empire's King Dunk Gaojia, and behind him were the thirteen agents who had also evolved.
Approaching, Donk Gaojia didn't say a word, and glanced at the thirteen agent directors, who struggled inwardly for 0.00001 seconds, and finally King Dunk Gaojia's order prevailed, and they raised their weapons and pointed at Zhuang Pi and the lord, and were about to open fire.
The Lord smiled lightly, and after only one glance at Dunk Gaojia, the thirteen agents in charge stopped, their bodies trembling and staggering, and they all fell from the sky.
"Dunk Gaojia!"
"Go, come with me!"
