Chapter 166: The Rise of the Empire
The mechanical synthesizer continued to say excitedly, "...... My gentlemen, no, no, no, I beg your pardon for my rudeness, my emperors! I have waited until you have come back, do you remember me? I am Ah Fu!"
Liu Zijin gestured to Li Zhihao with his eyes, and said softly: "Hello, Ah Fu, I don't understand what you're talking about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Oh, of course, my majesty, we have been, 57 days, 15 hours, 49 minutes, and 8 seconds in 594! Oh, your majesty, poor Ah Fu has not spoken to anyone for a long time. β
"Ah Fu, where are you? I can't see you. β
"I'm sorry, I forgot...... It's been too long, it's been too long...... Wait a minute, damn it, these pesky germs have made my smooth skin so virtuous!Your Majesty, please wait a moment, let me tidy myself up a little. β
"Ah Fu, don't be in a hurry. I also spend a lot of time dressing up before I meet people, but if we can, we want to find a place to rest, do you have any recommendations?"
"Your Majesty is still so considerate, my memory has melted because of your gentleness. Your Majesty, please come here, no, wait...... Your Majesty, I beg your pardon, it's been too long since no one has come there, and in order to save energy, I have already marked it as an abandoned building. Could you please wait here, I'll send the robot vacuum cleaner over now. β
"Alright, Ah Fu, we are waiting for you here. β
"I'll do it as soon as possible, as soon as possible. β
"Ah Fu, you don't mind if the two of us talk alone, do you?"
"Of course, Ah Fu respects everyone's privacy, but, but poor Ah Fu has been lonely for too long, can I leave a surveillance camera? I won't turn on the sound!"
"Yes, Ah Fu, we won't leave. β
"Thank you, thank you. β
There was a sound of loose organs around him, Liu Zijin didn't care about this, he turned his head to look at Li Zhihao, and said slowly: "We seem to be the only two living people in 594 years. β
"We're still emperors. β
"And this AI, this Ah Fu, not only has intelligence, but also emotions and character, and he will even be lonely. β
"Hmm. β
"Why did such a high-tech world die out?"
"It will tell us the answer. β
While the two were talking, a white, rusty two-headed robot hurriedly ran over, and when he saw the two of them standing in a hurry, he apologized: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time." β
Liu Zijin looked at Ah Fu and comforted: "Ah Fu, you don't have to be in such a hurry. β
"I know, I know, but I'm scared. β
Liu Zijin sighed and said with a smile: "Ah Fu, you don't look like you're done yet, some parts of your body look as smooth as new, and some places are rusty." β
"Ahh β
Liu Zijin smiled lightly and said, "Don't scold them, this is not bad, you can see how much you have suffered here." Thank you for your hard work. β
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Ah Fu's display screen wrinkled suddenly, he wiped his tears with his hands, and kept saying: "It's not hard, it's not hard...... It's not hard at all. β
Liu Zijin patted him over and comforted: "Don't be reckless, your task is over." β
Ah Fu's eyes blinked, and he asked, "Mission...... It's over?"
"Hmm. β
Ah Fu immediately straightened up, raised his head and saluted: "Great emperors! Alfred, the third-generation mechanical AI of the Gaia Empire, has fulfilled his mission and successfully retained the last spark for the empire! Under the leadership of His Majesty, the Gaia Empire will surely rise again! Gaia Empire, long live!"
Liu Zijin also learned his posture and saluted: "You did a good job! Now, you can rest!"
Ah Fu saluted again: "Emperors, Ah Fu has not completed the handover task, and now is not the time for the handover!"
"Handover a task?"
"Yes, Ah Fu has not explained to the emperors why the world has become like this, nor has he taught the two adults the button to restart. β
"So, why did the world become like this?"
Ah Fu shook his head, and his huge head shook up and looked soft, which made people feel cute.
"Emperors, before that, please come with me to rest, it should be cleaned, and tea has been brewed inside. I'm sorry, Emperors, although Ah Fu has tried his best to plant, but the only one who can survive is the tea ......"
"It's okay, take us there now. β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ah Fu staggered to the front, Li Zhihao looked at him like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you afraid of falling when you move?"
Ah Fu said with a smile: "Your Majesty don't worry, Ah Fu's appearance and walking posture have been strictly set, and Dr. Ah Jia, the great scientist who made Ah Fu, said that my shape is the most popular among children." β
Suddenly, Ah Fu stopped, and he hesitated: "Isn't Ah Fu's current appearance likable?"
Li Zhihao smiled: "No, it's cute, I like it very much." β
"I love it too. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment. β
Ah Fu staggered up again, and Liu Zijin noticed that he was shaking even more, obviously he was very happy now. When he arrived at the lounge, Liu Zijin found that this was a very ordinary room, there was no futuristic technology, everything was familiar to him, and the only difference was the robot in front of him. β
Liu Zijin sat on the sofa, looked at Ah Fu and said, "You can sit down too." β
"Your Majesty, Ah Fu doesn't need to rest. β
"It makes me feel more relaxed when you sit down and talk. β
"Your Majesty, Ah Fu's status ......"
"A veteran who has been holding out for 600 years is much more precious than me, an emperor who doesn't know where he came from. β
"Your Majesty can't say that, I'll just sit!"
As soon as Ah Fu sat down, the entire sofa sank into a large chunk, it smiled with a red face, and said, "Your Majesty, can Ah Fu start reporting now?"
"Please. β
"Okay, before that, you can ask where Your Majesty was before?"
"I think it's another planet. β
"How are the people there?"
"Everything was fine, there was no shortage of worries. β
"Sounds like General Ford's plan was a success!"
"General Ford?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will explain. I have one last question. β
"What's the problem?"
"Excuse me, what is your average lifespan?"
"Eighty-five years old. β
"Perfect! Perfect! We're back! We're back!"
Ah Fu screamed nervously, and the sharp electronic sound pierced Liu Zijin's eardrum, giving him a headache.
"Sorry...... Please forgive me for my gaffes, I'm just so happy. β
"It's okay, can you continue?"
"Yes, listen to me, Your Majesty...... It's a long story......"
Ah Fu sighed, a faint blue light appeared in the display, it sorted out its thoughts, and said: "We used to be a great and powerful civilization, and when other civilizations were still studying how to grow food, we have modified the genes of plants at will, so that they can bear the fruits we need. The population is constantly multiplying, science and technology are constantly developing, and people here start constant wars in order to survive, the more fierce the war, the faster the development of science and technology, in the past, people only had two states, war, or preparing for war. And this situation was broken by a sudden spaceship, and that day the satellites of all countries were discovered at the same time, and a spaceship suddenly appeared above our planet. No one knew about it until then, and all the countries immediately ceased fire, and all turned their guns on the spacecraft. β
"Of course, the two Majesties know that they are from the space bend. But we don't know that our technology is great, and the technology tree is even more flourishing and far ahead, but at a certain point, we have not mastered space flight technology, which is why we can only compete for limited resources on this planet. β
"That spaceship changed everything, they called themselves the Gurtas, and they came here for a simple purpose. Occupy this beautiful planet and enslave these imbecile races that have no space flight technology. At present, all the people in the world are united, and the main opinions at that time are divided into two groups, one insists on dying with the Gurtas, and the other insists that women and children leave this planet and start over on another planet. And soon everyone agreed that two plans were going on at the same time. β
But before these plans could be implemented, scientists discovered a strange thing. Gurta's spaceship is very rudimentary, his communication methods are a mess, and even the way their ship propels is extremely wasteful of resources. Scientists find it strange that they initially thought that the Gurtars were proudly present above Earth because they were confident, but now it seems that this is not the case. It looks more like they're completely unaware that they're under surveillance. β
"Because of this, we carried out a crazy plan, we lured the Gurtars to the earth. The moment he entered the atmosphere, all the nuclear bombs were aimed at them. After the ship slowly landed, the strongest army awaited them...... The next moment they walked out of the hatch triumphantly and confidently, they were directly turned to ashes. β
"The Gurtars on the ship closed the hatch and were about to escape, but they were tied directly to the ground by ropes, and a second before they tried to force the space jump, we attacked the ship and took control of the entire ship. β
"The invincible Gurta are vulnerable. All the humans were shocked, and twenty of the world's best heads boarded the spaceship together, and they nervously studied the spaceship's engine, and in less than ten minutes, the engine was cracked. All the scientists began to sigh at the same time, they never thought that the space jump would be so ...... Simple. It's a blind spot that no one has cracked, and if it weren't for the Gurtas, we might still be stuck here for a long time. But...... The Gurta people came and brought with them the technology of spatial folding. We have finally stepped out of a tiny planet in the universe and headed for the boundless sea of stars!"
"In this vast universe, there are so many planets that we need to explore, and we don't need countries anymore! After that day, we abandoned the concept of states, and all countries merged into one empire, our great Gaia Empire!"
"In the first month of the Gaia Empire, we went outside the banking department. In the third month, we found the home planet of the Gurtas, and two days later, the Gurta disappeared from the world. β
"After that day, there was a saying throughout the universe that the Gurtars had released the demon from its cage!"
