As the two of them gradually walked into the core area of the space-time fragment, Da Gu realized that what Lu Xuan had just said was very likely to be true.

In addition to the mechanical buildings you saw at the beginning, there are many civilian equipment in the core of the area.

Although the function of those civilian devices is not visible from the appearance alone, it is nothing more than providing food and entertainment functions for ordinary people living here.

This realization lasted until the two of them walked into a distinctly different mechanical building.

It is a semi-assembly line mechanical building specially built to adapt to the lunar environment and space, and the equipment inside it continues to operate even after leaving the original space.

The rumbling machines and the occasional flickering electric light indicate that it has a separate energy system inside.

"Traces of life activities are detected, and system permission authentication ......"

Suddenly, the scanning device inside the automatic building seemed to have scanned the existence of Da Gu and Lu Xuan, and took the initiative to send out a mechanical voice to the outside.

"Identification of life is underway and has been confirmed as a carbon-based organism."

"Genetic mapping is underway, and it has been confirmed that it is an intelligent life."

"Conduct simulations and comparisons of language libraries to officially confirm their identity as ancient humans."

After confirming the human identities of Da Gu and Lu Xuan, the cold mechanical voice suddenly became gentle, and even the surrounding environment seemed to become less cold.

"Update the data time library, and welcome the two humans to the Chang'e base on the lunar surface again."

"According to the preset instructions of the system, the two of you will have temporary command authority for the Chang'e base......"

Listening to the mechanized voice in his ears, Da Gu was still in a state of confusion, but Lu Xuan had already gained insight into the essence of this so-called "Chang'e Base".

"Chang'e base? When was this base built? ”

Stretching out his hand to stop Da Gu from continuing forward, Lu Xuan looked up at the base and asked.

"A new command was detected and the system data was updated again......"

"According to the system's data, this base was established in 2363 A.D. and is a pioneer settlement base for human exploration of the moon."

"This base will provide security functions for humans living on the moon, and if necessary, it will eradicate any ...... that may endanger humanity."

The voice of the Chang'e base was still automatically broadcasting, but Lu Xuan suddenly interrupted the other party's words.

"According to your system, how many years is it now?"

As soon as these words came out, Chang'e Ji's voice, which had been talking endlessly, suddenly fell silent.

"Answering my question head-on, artificial intelligence of 'self' has been born!"

After a long time, even Dagu realized that the Chang'e base was abnormal, and instinctively raised his vigilance.

"This thing...... Out of control? ”

Carefully pulling Lu Xuan to take a step back, Da Gu found that there seemed to be nothing normal in the ghost place.

"The system is not out of control, the system is just self-correcting and adjusting."

Obviously, after hearing Da Gu's words, the voice of Chang'e Base spoke again.

"According to the system's self-examination, the current year is 4732 AD, and it has been 2231 years since the official end of humanity."

A terrifying feeling suddenly came to his heart, and Da Gu realized that he was almost taken into the ditch by this Chang'e base.

Obviously, the human beings in this time and space have been extinct for more than 2,000 years.

This Chang'e base is still running, and even concealed this fact from himself and Lu Xuan, intentionally or unintentionally.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan's keen observation and timely discovery of the flaw, I am afraid that he would have really been taken into the ditch by this Chang'e base.

[Wait, humanity has been extinct for more than 2,000 years?] 】

When he suddenly realized this fact, Dagu's eyes widened in shock again.

Then thinking back to what Chang'e Base had just said, Da Gu suddenly discovered that the human history of another time and space seemed to be a little abnormal from the beginning.

In the current time and space in which it is located, TPC has already carried out colonization activities within the solar system, and even plans to colonize Mars on a large scale in the near future.

But in another time and space where the Chang'e base is located, humans did not establish a complete lunar base until 2363.

Compared to the current progress of TPC, humans in another time and space are more than 200 years late.

"Don't take the development process of our time and space as a normal ......"

Seeing through Da Gu's inner thoughts at a glance, Lu Xuan spoke in time to correct some subtle common-sense mistakes of the other party.

"In the endless time and space, there is only one human civilization that can break out of the home planet and enter the universe in such a short period of time, as far as I know, there is only one TPC for the time being."

It's hard to use any words to describe Dagu's current mood.

It's like you've been living in this world for most of your life, only to be suddenly told that you're in a world of "destiny."

"So, if human civilization follows the normal course of history, it will take more than two hundred years to be able to colonize the moon?"

Glancing at Lu Xuan with a complicated expression, Da Gu felt that the only difference between the time and space he was in and other time and space was probably that there was such a genius alien as Lu Xuan.

"You can easily understand it, but the truth is a little more troublesome than you think."

"Because in the vast majority of human beings, even after more than two hundred years, it may not be possible to complete the colonization of the lunar surface."

There was a slight pause in his tone, and Lu Xuan turned his gaze straight to the Chang'e base when he said this.

"Isn't this Chang'e base in front of us the best example?"

Clearly feeling the distrust and hostility revealed in Lu Xuan's words, the intelligent voice of Chang'e Base finally couldn't help but explain again.

"The demise of humanity is a natural phenomenon and has nothing to do with the Chang'e base."

"Chang'e Base is an artificial intelligence born to carry out lunar colonization missions!"

"No matter what happens, no matter how much time has passed, this core instruction of the system will not change!"

Before Chang'e Base could continue, Lu Xuan took the initiative to interrupt the other party's words.

"Yes, in order to have a 'target' that you can protect, you will not hesitate to forcibly detain humans, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent again.

"From the very beginning, you seem to be disguising yourself as harmless, with the aim of tricking me and Dagu into the base, right?"

"The two of us have entered the base, so your program can forcibly control the two of us in order to achieve the purpose of 'protecting humanity'."

"Is it directly in the hibernation pod? Or mislead us into actively staying at the Chang'e base? ”

"No, these are too pediatric......"

"With your current technical threshold, forcibly extracting the human genes of me and Dagu, and then cloning them in batches to reproduce new humans, is the most likely thing to do?"
