At the beginning of the 22nd century, artificial intelligence was applied on a large scale in production, replacing heavy manual labor.

The progress of the three major programs began to grow by leaps and bounds.

Tens of thousands of deep wells add up to tens of millions of tons of ore every day, and the ore is continuously transported to the surface, refined and processed by the industrial base, and produces military exoskeletons, weapons...

When the drilling of deep wells was fully unmanned, the United Nations officially met with the people of Bojiang.

The two sides began to deduce the war and introduced virtual games for the public to play, so that they could get an idea of the tragic general war.

In 2106, the deep well was excavated to the very bottom of the lithosphere, and the construction of the underground war base began.

Each war base is to accommodate 700,000 people, and the Pojang people are responsible for the ecosystem and deliver a solution containing large amounts of metal ions to the war base through an ecological neural network that spreads across the surface.

Humans were responsible for producing, manufacturing, and digging enough space in the dense lithosphere for both civilizations to survive.

At the same time, Sugon Technology has updated the game to load all kinds of confidential and conventional military weapon data into the virtual world.

The Devouring Empire has entered the Kuiper Belt, and it will take them about half a century to chew Mars first, so the people have enough time to master the art of using weapons.

Time flies, the devouring ship is approaching Mars, and people are witnessing a planetary-level mining.

The Devouring Spacecraft moves in orbit around Mars, moving at a speed slightly below the speed of Mars' revolution, waiting for the target to throw itself into the net.

It's like docking a space station.

Mars is getting closer and closer to the spacecraft, and under the action of gravitational tides, it undergoes violent geological movements.

The spacecraft also activated the fusion engine on the side of the planet and on the inner ring to resist the pull of the planet's gravity.

The high temperature evaporated the dry ice of the two stages of Mars, which, along with the dust, was gravitationally adsorbed by the spacecraft.

For half a month, Mars was put into a tire, the rotation speed slowly decreased, and the energy of the planet's rotation did not disappear, but was transferred to the star ring, and the Devourer's spacecraft rotated with the planet.

Until the rotational speed is synchronized and the centrifugal force is strong enough to resist the planet's gravity, the fusion engine in the inner ring is always working, and the hot ion stream pours onto Mars, causing the surface temperature to climb and make the ground full of magma.

Once the orbits were fully synchronized, mining began, and countless cables took root on the planet to harvest the lithosphere's resources.

On the equator, the devouring spacecraft sticks out with thousands of fangs, which are giant drilling rigs and straws with a diameter of more than a thousand meters.

The marrow of the planet is about to be sucked away.

The hellish scene caused a brief riot in human society, but it was quickly quelled by the powerful government, and some people died.

At this time, there were only two kinds of laws in human society: innocent and guilty, and those who disturbed order were unforgiving.

After being covered by the intelligent machine, any act of committing adultery and violating the law is an absolute capital offense.

In the era of intelligent production, there are many people who want to take the initiative to participate in labor and hope to get a ticket to Noah's Ark.

The United Nations unanimously refused, saying that after the transfer of troops and scientists, the remaining places would be determined by lottery.

Bluestar's industrial system is running wildly, digging for living space in rock formations, while the excavated materials are continuously processed into modular shelter components for the moon.

There are more and more shelters on the moon, and they are getting bigger and bigger, which is a show for the devourers to see.

In 2133, Big Tooth, who had been working on the spacecraft for several years, came to the moon again.

He brought 'good news'.

Big Tooth stood on the surface of the moon that looked like a pockmarked face, looking at the construction site not far away, which was the seventh vault under construction.

He said to the Marshal of the Department of Earth Defense: "You have behaved very well, you have outstanding scientific abilities, the Empire appreciates you, and has decided to raise a billion people, not slaves, but honorable third-class citizens who are only one level below me, but not in politics." ”

"You can have a territory on the mothership, as long as you don't break the law and conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by the empire, you can pass on human civilization and live with dignity in the empire, and there will be no devourers who treat you as food."

"You have to quickly elect a part of the elite, the empire doesn't want brain-dead waste, there will be a spaceship to pick up..."

Big tooth babbling.

After a long time, the marshal laughed dryly twice and asked, "Then, what about the others?" ”

Big Tooth said as a matter of course: "Most people will die in the process of mothership trapping Earth, and after that, we will try to collect the living people, they?" Hehe, you can only become a poultry, live happily until you are sixty years old, and then go on the market and sell it to the upper class. ”

"Out of sight is clean, commodities, commodity information, will never appear in your territory, the mothership is very large, you will never meet in your life, forget this group of lowly kind."

The marshal laughed dryly again, and then said: "I will inform the United Nations." ”

"The Great Devouring Empire, when is it ready to destroy the Earth? We're going to arrange for the emigration to speed up with the moon..."

Big Tooth affirmed, "In one year, you'll have enough time to build your seventh Vault." ”

Human civilization has entered the countdown to destruction.

……

Wang Yu walked on the streets full of the smell of blood, a smell that neither the sand nor the dirty air could hide.

A few days ago, there was a massacre here.

After learning that they had the opportunity to become third-class citizens of the Devouring Empire, many people took to the streets and demonstrated, trying to coerce the government into conducting the 'Ark Quota' assessment.

A billion people! Even if you sample randomly, there is a nearly 1 in 7 chance that you will be selected.

Not to mention, it is the elite who want to devour the empire, and many people think that they will definitely get a ticket.

The United Nations has said that betrayal of human civilization is a heinous crime and that violators will be immediately put to death.

Therefore, the 'elite' among the millions of people who do not listen to the government's admonition and do not want to stay on the earth and wait for death will die first.

Seeing the android who cleaned up the stump and severed arm, Wang Yu, who boasted of having no feelings, also felt angry.

How can the government do this? Do you have to let everyone die!

"Damn, what am I being recruited for? Could it be that the lottery for the place in the Moon Shelter was drawn against me? ”

"I don't want to go! Living with a bunch of garbage dogs is disgusting to think about! ”

The dog-legged in Wang Yu's mouth refers to the people who listened to the government's orders and got the refuge quota early.

Before the intelligent machinery replaced the violent institutions, they did a lot of dirty work, suppressing uprisings, massacring rebels...

Wang Yu didn't want to go, but the dog government cut off electricity, water, and food, so he had to go for an interview.

Arriving at an underground parking lot, he followed the guide into the elevator, which started on its own.

After a long time, the elevator door opened, and there was a huge underground plaza with trains stopping in the distance, and the subway station was undoubted.

"A subway station three hundred meters underground? Such a big project? Why isn't there any news? ”

Thinking about it, Wang Yu walked into the carriage, there were already several people in the carriage, and an officer motioned for Wang Yu to sit down.

Half an hour, a few more people came, and then, the train started slowly, and everyone clearly felt that the train was tilting.

"Fix yourself," the officer said, "and the train will go to war base No. 9 at five times the speed of sound." ”

1655 meters per second? Are you crazy or am I crazy?

Everyone here was in an uproar.

Before anyone could ask, a recoil force pressed everyone to the seats, unable to move.

After more than thirty seconds, the train stopped accelerating.

Everyone realized that something big might have happened to them.

Wang Yu silently modeled in his mind, calculating the final destination of the train: due west, inclination of 30 degrees...

A deep well in the steppe of Inner Mongolia?

Five minutes later, the train slowed down.

Under the leadership of the officer, the bewildered crowd walked out of the subway station and saw the huge three-dimensional city, and the crowd was even more confused.

The officer didn't say anything, and took them to a conference room with a flying machine to watch a sand table simulation.

In the footage, the Moon is accelerated and crashes into the Devourer spacecraft, which is devouring Mars.

"The timing is not right!"

Some people say that it's not the recording, it's the person who watches it.

"They can use Mars as a shield, and the nuclear weapons on the moon are not enough to make a turn close to ninety degrees!"

"They must attack on their way to Earth!"

The people present were all experienced and outstanding strategic commanders in the game, and they thought a lot of things clearly when they watched the video, and they didn't need to explain anything.

"So, our task is to command the war? Landing warfare? Wang Yu stood up excitedly and asked.

He threw away all the malice towards the government.

The officer nodded, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Yes, but it may be a little different from the landing battle you imagined. ”

"Go to the dormitory, there is a game pod, a real-life simulation, adapt as soon as possible, don't be too surprised."

"You will see the true nature of human civilization."
