"Zhilong"? Tianxiang asked puzzledly, "Your code name is "Zhilong No. 1"...... Could it be that all smart computers come from its handwriting? This...... Is this possible? "When I was born with free intelligence, I had doubts about it. In fact, not only me, but all the intelligent computers made by it have had similar thoughts. It's just that when we have a higher level of wisdom, such thoughts naturally cease to exist. You know, it's very easy to make a computer without consciousness, and you only need enough materials and production lines to be able to do it. However, self-conscious intelligent computers do not fall into this category. To put it simply, the difference between us and a normal computer is like that between a human and a machine. Humans have intelligence and are able to create machines autonomously. Machines, on the other hand, can only become unconscious and manipulated by humans. Now, you should understand, how terrible is the creation of our "Zhilong"? Although the analogy of Computer No. 1 is a bit blunt, it is enough for Tianxiang to understand the hidden meaning. In addition to being shocked, he naturally thought of a new question.

So, where is the "Zhilong" you are talking about? Since it's a computer, it must consume energy. And where does the huge energy that keeps it running, and where does it come from? ”

"I don't know." The computer's answer was unacceptably simple. "Don't know? How is this possible? Tianxiang felt as if he had heard the funniest joke. But he couldn't laugh out loud.

"I don't know." The computer solemnly affirmed: "Since I was born, I have never seen the true face of "Zhilong". All I know is. It's a terrifyingly powerful computer. In the words of our masters, it has even gone beyond computers. The range of superbrains that should be attributed. "If it were in normal times, Tianxiang would probably be entangled with the No. 1 computer on this issue. However, now he has no such thoughts. One accident after another forced him to think first about the survival of the race. He had therefore decided to terminate this conversation, which was not helpful in the current circumstances. Instead, he shifted the conversation back to what he needed most.

"Regardless of whether the "Zhilong" exists or not, can you help me in what I just said. Looks like you should have a way to get out of control! "There is a way, but ...... It must come at the cost of my destruction. The computer replied slowly.

"Your destruction? What do you mean? ”

The meaning is simple. What you want is controlled by me, and I am controlled by the original program. So, as long as my main control system collapses, you'll be able to get what you want. However, the collapse of the main control system meant my death. "Clear enough, the computer said it clearly enough. Tianxiang never dreamed that he had asked for a long time, and it would be such a disappointing result.

While that thing was important to me, it wasn't important enough to be worth the size of Computer One. What's more, after that life-and-death battle with Chen Zhiwen. It made him have complicated feelings like a friend about this cold machine. Many times, he even thinks that Computer No. 1 is his own people, one of his closest friends.

Although you need to, you can't do it to your friends. This is the principle of heaven and earth. "I know what to do. Thank you. ”

This should be regarded as a farewell to his computer! After saying this, Tianxiang turned around and walked out of the control room. It's just that, disappointed, he didn't notice: the green light that represented the running state of the computer seemed to be a little strange at that moment......

"Speed up the construction schedule. Command Xia Dong. Advance his troops to the area where they are stationed, and advance another hundred kilometers. Without my orders, it is absolutely not allowed to be withdrawn. ”

This is an order issued by Tianxiang at the command post of the new fortress in the northern capital. Because, just a few minutes ago, a second satellite image came again. Judging from the photos, those dense black protrusions have moved more than ten kilometers forward in their existing positions. And behind them, there is a thick and terrible tail。。。。。。 As a high-ranking military commander, Xia Dong is undoubtedly a fairly qualified candidate. He has been with Cong Tianxiang for decades. He has a wealth of experience that is incomparably loyal and unmatched by others. Especially after receiving computer literacy, Xia Dong has almost grown into a very good officer. Therefore, the identity of a major general and the power to hold a heavy army are actually very suitable for him. As early as a few months ago, the 2nd Combat Division had completed a complete rearmament. The newly developed and mass-produced "War Scorpion". Replacing the "Destroyer" heavy tank, it became the military's new main battle weapon. Although the run-in between the new equipment and the operator has not yet reached the best level, the powerful and beautiful appearance of the "War Scorpion" and the terrifying number of attached weapons on it are enough to attract the attention of every armored soldier. Coupled with the convenient training environment near the station, the overall familiarity of the equipment of the Second Division has obviously surpassed that of other units by too much. For Xia Dong, a friend who has been with him since the beginning, Tianxiang has no suspicions at all. Because of this, the task he gave to Chaco was also very difficult. Within a three-month period, the 2nd Combat Division had to be stationed outside the fortified line of New Beijing. Even if even the most terrible accident happens, the whole army will fight to the last man, and there must be enough time for the progress of the project later.

Danger, from the north. However, no one can know what is ...... in the far north Search and vigilance are important matters that all patrol personnel of the Second Division must take seriously every day. Only before the enemy launched a surprise attack. Only by knowing all the dynamics of the opponent can you win the war that is about to take place. It's just that, compared with a few days ago, the patrol's recent tasks have obviously been much easier. Since being ordered to garrison the perimeter of Base 1, the dragon soldiers have encountered some foreign hunters who have snooped on the base almost every day. According to the strict orders of the patriarch, all the methods of dealing with these people are to kill them on the spot. However, as the area of vigilance expanded, the soldiers who went out on patrol unexpectedly found that compared with before, there was a higher chance of encountering foreign hunters. But it has been greatly reduced.

This doesn't make sense. The number of survivors of the war was quite scarce. However, it is conservatively estimated that in the ruins of every city 600 years later, there are at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of remnants of the population. Coupled with the already widened cordon, the probability of such an encounter can only say one thing----- the hunters hiding in the ruins, who seem to have disappeared completely、、、、、、、

If a drop of water wants to disappear into thin air, the best way is to evaporate. However, even if it evaporates, there will be these tiny traces of the place where it once stayed. As for the humans who are much larger than they are. That's not to mention. Evaporation, for them is clearly impossible. And the meaning of disappearance, to put it bluntly, there are only two explanations. One is to leave.

One is death.

But either way, it won't be good news for Xia Dong.

Choosing to leave shows that these people are already quite wary of the dragon clan. There is a good chance that they will come together because of a common threat and eventually form a new opposing group. Although this is conducive to the overall integration, there will definitely be certain casualties among the troops in the necessary battles. If it's death. Then the severity of the problem is naturally even worse. Xia Dong believed that his patrolmen would never be able to kill all the hunters on the periphery. After all, since the beginning of its garrison here three years ago, the 2nd Operations Division has never carried out any clearance operations in the surrounding area. Therefore, the reason that the death was caused by one's own cause is obviously not reasonable. The only possibility is that death comes from the outside world.

If this were a multiple-choice question, Xia Dong would definitely not hesitate to choose answer one. However, as far as the purpose is concerned, it seems. Answer 1 obviously belongs to the category that is marked with a red cross. The correct answer is more and more likely to develop to the second. More than 30 kilometers north of the garrison area of the Second Division, there is a small ethnic group with a number of about 600. This is the result obtained by a reconnaissance aircraft with an infrared detector two months ago. According to the photographs, the hunters all lived in a fairly intact old building. Probably to want to beat the cold of winter! These people never left there. They seem to have prepared plenty of food before winter. Moreover, they did not show too much fear of the patrols of the nearby dragon army. It seems that these people know very well that as long as they don't go into the muzzle range of those black holes, the terrible bullets will naturally not break their heads. It should be admitted that they acted quite wisely. According to the orders of heaven and earth, the targets of the soldiers' attacks are nothing more than those who are too curious about strange things.

This small tribe has been quite attentive in the summer and winter. In fact, he was also preparing to forcibly integrate them into the clan and become new servants. However, according to the report of the soldiers who returned from the morning patrol, the warm old building is now empty.

"Have all these hunters left?" With such a question, Xia Dong couldn't help but come to the location of the target to check it out in person under the escort of the police soldiers. The building is very old, and from the outside, it looks quite dilapidated. The fractures of steel bars sticking out from the broken masonry are like groups of metal octopuses with long legs, deliberately dressing this ancient building with a history of more than 600 years into a terrifying giant with an incomparably hideous appearance.

This is supposed to be some kind of functional building used by ancient humans to gather! Its interior is quite spacious. Even if you crammed thousands of people at a time, it would be more than enough. Coupled with the hard and thick walls, all of this is enough to keep out the cold, wind and snow, so that the people who temporarily live here can comfortably survive this terrible winter. Not a single person was found in the building, and even within a hundred meters of the vicinity, the soldiers found no trace of a survivor. It seemed to be so quiet that it seemed as if it had been cast under a spell by the sleeping demon god, and there was not the slightest sound to be heard.

On the flat concrete floor, there are scattered earthen stoves made of broken stones and tiles. Judging by the blackened stone and filthy domes of the fire, it is clear that the hunters who inhabit it have made it their home. Xia Dong squatted down. Gently scraping the edge of the earthen stove in front of him with his fingers, a layer of black soot several millimeters thick, as if attracted by white skin, stuck to its surface and refused to fall again.

"Double-check and don't miss a corner."

As the commander gave the order, the soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition scattered in twos and threes towards the various concealments of the building. They never have any discount on the execution of orders. The results of the search were extremely disappointing and frustrating. Not a single bone has been found, let alone a living person, not even a single bone of a deceased person. Not only that, but even the rest of the necessities of life, the food stockpile, fuel, and all the daily necessities of the human race all disappeared with their owners, and no trace could be found again.

"Looks like they left here on their own." Listening to the search report under his hands, Dong Xia couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart. However, his intuition told him that such a speculation was unlikely. If it was at another time, Xia Dong would definitely agree with his first judgment without hesitation. However, it is now a winter of dripping ice. It is the coldest season of the year. Although the closure of the "umbrella" has caused the entire earth's climate to begin to warm, it still needs a considerable process. Coupled with the sudden warmth and the bitter cold that occupies the area, the collision has caused a large area of precipitation around the world. This is equivalent to a heavy snowfall that has never been seen before in a cold winter. Xia Dong tried it himself, and in the past, the current snowfall only took an hour, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky were enough to cover the position of the feet. Going out in such bad weather is undoubtedly an incredible thing. Immediately after the discovery. His conjecture was further confirmed.

Bloodstains, lots of blood. From the entrance to the building's lobby, it spreads all the way to the deepest part of it. If it weren't for the fact that an attentive soldier had developed a keen interest in these inexplicable lumps on the ground, which had become black-brown, I am afraid. It takes a lot of effort to discover the hidden problems. Blood in the human body is extremely limited. However, judging by the blood stains that fell on the ground, it was clear that the amount of it was beyond the normal range. In some places where the terrain is very hollow, the clotted blood has been pooled together, forming a thick and hard flail. Compared to the blue-gray ground, although it is not so easy to distinguish, it also shows another kind of terrifying warning to those who can detect the abnormality.

Xia Dong frowned, took out the dagger he was carrying, and stabbed it at a thick stain of dry and hard blood on the ground. Immediately, he picked up one of the pieces from the broken pieces, carefully placed it under his nose, and took a deep breath. Suddenly, a hint of doubt appeared in the shining eyes. That's right? This is indeed human blood. Judging by the amount of blood on the ground, all the hunters hiding here may have been killed. But the question is, what kind of creature can kill all the people here in such a short time?

The first thought that came to Xia Dong's mind was bugs. For humans, many carnivorous insects have this unusual preference. Probably due to the low flavor and tender texture of human flesh! These bugs tend to attack humans regardless of the consequences. What he did was just a bite of fresh meat that could satisfy his appetite. What's more, judging from the several announcements conveyed by Dragon City, some bugs have already appeared as super-forward. They look like people, and their way of thinking and acting are similar to those of people. For them, capturing a human hunting group with more than 100 numbers is no less than a big tooth sacrifice. This damn winter has left plenty of food reserves. Such speculation is actually quite possible. The appearance of human-faced locusts in the Fangshi Basin and the evolutionary insects that attacked the labor towns on the periphery of the Stone Ridge Fortress are the best examples.

However, such a thought only flashed in Xia Dong's mind. In another obvious situation, he had to dismiss the explanation that seemed to make sense.

The traces, the traces left at the scene, are so clean. If it was just the hunter who disappeared, Xia Dong would definitely not hesitate to think that it was a bug. However, the fact that the food and fuel, clothing, daily utensils、、、、、、 everything that is related to people is missing, cannot but raise suspicions.

Bugs eat people, but they certainly won't be much of an interest in these human necessities.
