Chapter 35: The Great Trough (6)
Under the scorching sun, Zhang Yun walked sluggishly, and just now, he received an order to evacuate.
Suddenly, he heard a cry, and following the sound, a mother was crying in front of a body covered with a white cloth in her arms, probably her husband and the father of the child.
The robot came and carried the corpse without saying a word.
The woman grabbed the robot by the ankle and wept and asked, "Where are you going to take my father?" ”
Shuguang replied honestly: "Processing plant." ”
Zhang Yun's heart was shocked, and in an instant, a tremor and fear surged into his heart, and his whole body was cold.
The woman was incredulous and said, "What? ”
"At the processing plant, I will remove the hair of the victims, break them all into minced pieces, and make canned meat while they are still edible."
The woman could not bear the blow, closed her eyes, and passed out.
Another robot arrived, picked up the woman, carried the crying child, and took her to the medical tent to rest.
Zhang Yun hurriedly ran over and asked, "Why?" ”
Dawn calculated, understood the meaning of the question, and then replied, "There is not enough food." ”
"You can understand, after all, you chose to join the army in order not to let your family go hungry."
"The order given to me by the sub-authority person: without affecting other cities and regions, do my best to save people, and the authority person is willing to take historical responsibility for all the plans I calculated."
"Standing on the bigger picture, my suggestion is to abandon this city, saving people is a waste of resources."
"They are lonely children, and there will not be any city to support them with food and water."
Zhang Yun's body was shaky, it was really cruel, "How many people can be rescued in this city?" ”
Shuguang said: "Tens of thousands." ”
Now there are more than 500,000 survivors, and there are still many survivors who have not been rescued!
"The rescue will last for seven days, you have received an order to evacuate, and I will take over the follow-up rescue work, and after you evacuate, precious food, water, and some medicines will be removed from the list of relief materials."
"Refugees don't have access to food, cannibalism will occur in two or three days at most, and sooner or later they will have to eat corpses, so it's better to collect the corpses now and make them into canned meat for storage, so that the survivors can at least live longer and healthier, and individuals don't have to bear too much moral pressure."
Zhang Yun asked blankly: "Does it make sense?" Does it make sense for you to save a lot of wounded people and then let them die? ”
He was angry, but it didn't make sense to vent his anger at an AI that carried out orders, and it wouldn't change anything.
"In terms of results, it doesn't make sense, it's not my suggestion, as I said, my suggestion is to abandon this city, saving people is a waste of resources," Shuguang said. ”
Zhang Yun asked again: "Is it possible to save them?" ”
"Yes, but illegally."
The brutal verdict continues: "In the end, if the surrounding cities are unwilling to accept them, then no one else will survive except for the children that Dawning Technology is willing to accept." ”
The man choked up and even couldn't stand on his feet, leaning against the ruins and watching the robot move away.
"Grain, food..., if only people could live by photosynthesis without eating like a tree..."
As if remembering something, Zhang Yun took out his mobile phone and logged on to the official website of the World Academy of Sciences to check the progress of the New Humanity Program.
There is no specific information, only one line: clinical trials are underway, recruiting volunteers of all ages and races, and the mortality rate of clinical trials is as high as 70%, which is carefully considered.
This may be a way to survive.
……
Seven days after the earthquake, rescue efforts were halted because there was a slim chance of survivors.
More than a million people were affected by the disaster, and the death rate was high because most people in this era were staying at home.
With more than 100,000 direct victims, they were fortunate because they didn't have to experience a bigger disaster that followed.
The earthquake paralyzed half of the rail transport system and affected the water supply of hundreds of cities.
It will take at least half a month to repair the railway system, and at present, the ecology of small oases in many cities is on the verge of collapse.
The Great Famine is about to happen.
……
Australia, Dawning Dungeon, a set of data was passed to the hands of management:
"In the 35 years of the crisis, the world's arable land is less than 300 million hectares, and the total global population is less than 7 billion."
Artificial intelligence has exacerbated the ability of human civilization to destroy the natural environment, making the great trough even more serious.
"In the case of the increasingly serious food crisis, more than 500,000 tons of food have been sent to space, enough for the moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter bases, three space cities, and a number of large space stations with a total of more than 1.2 million people, and they will be full for more than a year."
"The Council intends to build a space farm to ensure the sustainable operation of the Space Force."
"The global steel industry is running at full power, including the Antarctic mining industry, and catastrophic events such as snow foam and south winds will be repeated."
"If the Security Council is willing to use the productivity of building space farms to build super greenhouses, it will probably solve the problem of food and clothing for 500 million people within a year."
One-fifth of this food, together with the all-out development of people's livelihood productivity, should be able to allow the affected people in a city in Bashu to overcome the initial difficulties and rebuild the small oasis ecosystem.
……
Say, who is over 70 years old, said: "Let me tell you, I am going to carry out the plan made by Mr. Chen Xi. ”
"The above information will be disseminated to all parts of the world through various channels, and Shuguang Technology will usher in the joint suppression of the council members, and you are psychologically prepared to meet the impact."
"Nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles are ready and ready to notify the members of the Security Council to reach a deterrent peace," Shuguang said. ”
Ecology Minister Edward spoke slowly: "The technologies needed for the No. 2 ecosystem, except for the molecular-level nanorobotics technology required for material recombination, are already very mature. ”
"It's time for countries to stop and build dungeons with more robust ecosystems."
"It took us more than a decade to build two million-person dungeons, and even if we were to gather global productivity, we should not be able to build more than 20 dungeons a year," said the head of engineering. ”
It's still a problem with nanomaterials, this kind of high-precision production, artificial intelligence can't violently increase its production.
Just like the mechanical production machinery, which is ultimately limited by the industrial machine tool.
"In other words, not many people can be saved, and the dungeon is not the key, the key is whether the artificial food can be mass-produced, or whether the new human project can be widely and harmlessly applied to the people."
Say let out a long sigh: "Our purpose is not to save people for the time being, but to induce public anger and induce the outbreak of life." ”
"But..., Edward, we want to have the ability to save people, and the synthetic starch in your ecological department is the key, otherwise even if we overthrow it, we won't be able to create a new order."
"Over the years, we have improved the energy conversion efficiency of synthetic starch and reduced the difficulty of synthesis, but the biological enzyme required for mass production has never been able to solve the problem," Edward said. ”
"To put it simply, this biological enzyme cannot adapt to a special environment in the starch synthesis process."
Gould, who is in charge of genetic engineering, jokes: "It seems that the task of saving humanity has fallen to me." ”
"Yes, you have to develop biological enzymes that are resistant to high temperatures and pressures, and that can replicate themselves and be easy to cultivate."
Someone asked, "Mr. Gould, how is the New Humanity Project going?" Eating sunlight is also a very good choice. ”
Gould sighed and said, "It's a bottleneck, and millions or tens of millions of experimental samples are needed..."
"We have to be responsible for human beings, and the embedded and deleted genes must be obtained with a large amount of clinical trial data to ensure that there are no problems before they can be entered into the new human gene pool, which will take a century or more."
Sugon Technology is recruiting volunteers from all over the world, and the condition is only to eat and live, and play and watch games and movies casually.
