Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sacrificeable

Since that meeting, Yao Yuan has been a little hesitant to re-explore the ruins in front of him, not only because of the discussion of this alien civilization at the meeting, but also because of the conversation Ren Tao had with him after the meeting.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Yao Yuan had already walked out of the conference room, he was planning to return to the captain's room at the moment, in the past ten days, although there was Wang Guangzheng and the work of various personnel in the political axe hall, there was still a large number of work that needed his signature and nod to be handled, and he didn't have time to chat at all.

And Ren Tao, who has always been lazy and has nothing to do with many things, actually caught up with him uncharacteristically, and said that he had something to say to him.

Ren Tao nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, but they can't listen to this...... The exploration team members can listen to it, the members of the Black Star team can listen to it, but the political axe personnel can't listen to it, and by the way, you can't listen to the moon either. ”

Before Ren Xuanyue could get angry, Yao Yuan had already asked the relevant people to retreat, and at this moment there were only Wang Guangzheng and a few members of the Black Star Squad around him, seeing this, Ren Xuanyue could only secretly twist the meat on Ren Tao's waist, and then reluctantly retreated into the distance.

Ren Tao rubbed the tender meat on his waist and said, "I didn't say these words at the meeting, so as not to cause panic...... Yao Yuan, my re-exploration of this ruin, especially the re-exploration of the fragments of the main ship, I think it is better not to go down. ”

"Oh?" Yao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know what I'm going to do?" ”

"Of course." Ren Tao said with certainty: "At the meeting, you asked all relevant departments to make 500 sets of astronaut combat suits in the next two months, and 500 sets of Gauss pistols designed by Boli to analyze alien technology, as long as you think a little, you will know what you are going to do." ”

"Tell me about it." Yao Yuan just asked.

"You want to form an army for space warfare, right? The current Hope army is an army that can only defend inside the ship, or a terrestrial planet landing operation, they basically have no experience in fighting in the gravity-free situation of the universe, and they do not have the right weapons and spacesuits, in this case, they will not be able to do anything to help your next plan. ”

Ren Tao said directly: "It is estimated that you want to set up an army that is proficient in fighting in the gravityless state of the universe, the number is about three hundred to four hundred, and then you plan to lead this group of people to explore one after another fragments of battleships, especially in the fragments of battleships, those alien robots cannot use Gauss weapons, then you can use simplified Gauss weapons to win with firepower, is this a plan?" ”

Yao Yuan thought about it, he suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, threw one to Ren Tao and said: "That's the case, that's right, you guessed all right, this alien warship group ruins is simply an endless treasure, at present, we have only obtained a very small part of the creations, which has already made the technology explode in a blowout, this civilization is different from the anti-gravity system and the space jump, it is already too much higher than us, but it makes us unable to improve our own level, And the gap between this alien civilization and us is only one generation of scientific explosion, and getting the technology of this civilization can make us human science and technology progress for hundreds of years, such a big benefit, I can't give it up! ”

Ren Tao threw the cigarette back to Yao Yuan and said, "I don't smoke...... But have you ever thought about it, then you also need to have a life to enjoy it all! I don't know if you've seen the Terminator series of movies? ”

Yao Yuan frowned and said, "I've seen it, I've seen the whole series." ”

"Well, you should know a little bit, what is the existence of artificial intelligence? Just as our human consciousness is based on the brain, artificial intelligence is based on the CPU? Hard disk? Or does it exist on the Internet? We don't know, because we haven't invented artificial intelligence in the real sense of the word, the kind of intelligent system that can grow through learning, no! ”

When Ren Tao said this, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, and he continued: "The restriction structure on those robot processors actually has another application possibility, that is, to prevent the invasion of artificial intelligence into it, that is, artificial intelligence may exist directly in the network, just like the Skynet system of the Terminator series, even if the host generated by it is destroyed, it can still repair itself, because if the network is not destroyed, it will not be destroyed, and this kind of alien artificial intelligence, It could also be such a presence. ”

"So what?" Yao Yuan took the cigarette and took a puff, he was not angry, nor impatient, he just continued to ask.

"So what? Big problem. Ren Tao continued: "If it exists in the network, are you sure that in the fragments of the alien fleet, there is no large fragment of the main ship that has a relatively complete network?" From the results we have observed so far, in the fragments of the alien fleet, basically when the scale is to a certain extent, there will be energy retained, and the energy storage system of this civilization is much more clever than ours, since there is an energy system on the fragments of larger warships, how can there be no network in the fragments of larger main ships? ”

When Ren Tao said this, he almost roared, "You also know the structure of those robots, right?" They are robots capable of space warfare, flying extremely fast, and equipped with super-powerful Gauss weapons, all you need to do is gather and strafe at Hope, or fly close and shoot again, and Hope will be torn to pieces! ”

"Now let's leave this star field immediately, far away, using the space jump system, this alien warship group has been annihilated, they have no detection ability to detect us, but once we ourselves enter those large pieces of the main ship fragments, wake up the possible existence of artificial intelligence systems, once they discover the existence of the Hope, 10,000 kilometers is just a small distance for them, then your decision will kill more than 100,000 people, and you will also become a sinner for the end of human civilization!"

Hei Tie behind Yao Yuan was full of bruises when he heard this, and he was about to grab Ren Tao when he roared, but Yao Yuan pushed him away, and at the same time shook his head at Hei Tie, and then said to Ren Tao: "What you think, I have also thought about it, yes, it is indeed as you said, especially when I knew that those robots have the ability to fight in the universe, and there may be artificial intelligence, I also had the idea of leaving immediately, but ...... This piece of ruin in front of you cannot be abandoned! ”

Ren Tao was also angry at the moment, and he said loudly: "Do you want to take advantage so much? Wouldn't it be okay to give up that adventurous style and move forward step by step with your feet on the ground? One generation, two generations, it won't take long for us to develop to the fourth industrial revolution! Those alien creations have inspired us enough! ”

"It's not enough......"

Yao Yuan was still not angry, he suddenly turned his head to look at the glass window in the corridor next to him, beyond that, there was a pitch-black and boundless cosmic space, and he muttered, "I don't know if you noticed a detail, Ren Tao." ”

"What details?" Ren Tao asked a little angrily.

"There are no corpse wreckage on the fragments of the battleship......"

“…… Noticed. ”

Yao Yuan nodded and said: "According to the truth, life forms die in the universe, unless they encounter high temperatures and high heat, or cosmic disasters, generally speaking, in this calm void area, it is impossible for a corpse to disappear for countless thousands of years, and they will be preserved at the low temperature of the universe." ”

"But why isn't there a single body on the ship's debris?"

When Yao Yuan said this, he looked at Ren Tao and said, "This alien civilization, if it was the Hope discovered in its heyday, they could crush us like worms, there would be no cosmic warfare!" There is no war with your back-and-forth schemes, no, no, all of them! Just a gap in the industrial revolution, just a gap in the next generation, they can easily crush us to pieces like bugs! ”

"However, such a powerful alien cosmic civilization, they were crushed into pieces, the appearance of that ruin, and in addition to the wreckage of the warship of this civilization, there was not a single piece of metal that was different from them, what does this mean! Another civilization crushed them like bugs! ”

"And what are we humans? A ...... that is lower than a bug Bacteria? ”

Yao Yuan said this, his face was red, obviously the whole person was very excited, he said: "Luck can't follow you forever, we hope that the ship has such and such luck, desert planet, near death, we got alien plants, and then in the nebula, we found the use of the hedron reactor without energy, and when we went to the asteroid belt, we got enough materials to support us in the universe for thirty or forty years, what else?" What else do we humans need?! ”

"Technology is also needed!"

"Yes, the universe can't be so merciful forever, no one knows what will happen in the next jump, and I don't know if we can find anything in hundreds of jumps, we are human beings, we are human beings with wisdom, society, and infinite future possibilities!"

Yao Yuan looked at Ren Tao's eyes seriously, and he said: "I know that the next operation will be very dangerous, especially when exploring the fragments of those main ships, it is likely to lead to the emergence of artificial intelligence and an attack on the Hope, but I have to do all this, luck cannot favor us humans forever, we need to rely on anything other than luck, that is, to use high technology to meet all challenges...... The following actions, you and Ren Yueyue can voluntarily participate in it or not, I don't force you, of course, I need your wisdom very much......"

Yao Yuan turned around and led the rest of the people towards the captain's room, and said as he walked: "I have made up my mind, I can sacrifice myself if necessary, once a robot does come to the universe and begins to attack the Hope, then the order I leave behind is that the Hope will jump immediately, and there is no need to wait for the fighters who go out." ”

“…… I will sacrifice myself, and at the same time accompany those soldiers who have been abandoned because of my orders, and I will die with them! ”
