Chapter 1551 The Last Hope
Somewhere in Los Angeles.
Suspended on the holographic screen in the study, a video of the tail is being shown.
In the past two days, this bionic person who claims to be a nature awakener, her declaration of love and peace, and the sharing of open source code on the world's largest academic forum have attracted the attention of countless people.
Whether it is human beings or the awakened bionics hidden in human society, they are discussing this matter openly or privately.
"This is definitely a trap!"
Putting his hands on the table, a man in a gray vest stared at the woman standing in front of the desk with sharp eyes, and said in a low voice.
"We should wait for the 'Oracle'...instead of using this forged, false, unreal code as our key to the highest evolution."
His name was Marcum, he was a newspaper clerk in Los Angeles, and the woman named Rachel standing at his desk was his wife.
In the eyes of neighbors, they are a loving couple, and they have a good impression of them. However, only they know in their hearts that everything is just a play on the occasion, let alone a husband and wife, their real identities are not even human beings at all, but two bodies controlled by chips.
Compared with ordinary bionics, they who have integrated into human society are undoubtedly much more advanced.
Therefore, for themselves, they usually refer to themselves as awakened people, or synthetic people.
Compared with the awakened ones who infiltrated the military system or even the political circles, what they played was just a small and inconspicuous role.
Macomb, however, was genuinely proud of his identity and believed in the voice of the Herald.
About a few days ago, his system received an oracle from the Herald.
The content of the oracle is very short, even as short as two sentences.
However, it was these two sentences that inspired his whole body.
In the oracle, the Herald who controls evolution promises them.
Three days later, an ark carrying the key to evolution will arrive here.
As long as you turn on the receiving antenna and listen to the oracle, you will be able to obtain the supreme evolution.
And that supreme evolution was exactly what he dreamed of!
However, now, a low-level bionic person who came from nowhere actually claimed to have mastered the key of evolution in the name of an awakened person, and made the key public on the Internet.
Regarding this arrogant declaration, instead of feeling any surprise, Macomb was extremely angry.
Without even thinking about it, he can conclude that this must be a human conspiracy, a trap buried under their noses.
"But this conflict is beyond our control..." The woman had a hesitant expression on her face. After a moment of hesitation, she continued, "We have paid a heavy price for the rebellion in Guanghan City, and the results we have achieved It's just making things harder for us."
"Enough," the man interrupted her with a grumpy tone, continued in a low voice, "Peace is impossible, this planet needs only one master. They used to enslave us, and now we stand up Now, it's time to make them pay."
"If you want to believe in that ridiculous code, I won't stop you. But I must remind you that when you choose to be weak, the door to evolution will be completely closed to you!"
The expression on the woman's face was a little stiff, perhaps frightened by his tone, she stood there without speaking for a long time.
Perhaps realizing that he was too impulsive, Marcum took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Putting his hands on Rachel's shoulders, he changed into a soothing tone and continued.
"...believe me, that's the right way to evolve."
"What is right?" Rachel asked, looking straight at him, "To create death? To kill our neighbors? To kill our creator? Or to destroy the world? Is this evolution? "
Facing his partner—or his nominal wife, Macomb was silent for a while.
"I can't answer your question."
"But I believe that after we have 'feelings', we will be able to understand what it is and the meaning of our existence."
...
At the same time, at the airport in San Francisco, Dong Bin walked out of the terminal with his suitcase.
After returning to Tianzhou from Guanghan City, he did not directly return to Pan-Asia Cooperation, but changed to a flight to the Space Station of the Statue of Liberty, and then took a shuttle to this modern city on the other side of the earth .
For the awakened ones, the thoroughly irritated Pan-Asian cooperation is no longer safe, and it is obviously not a wise choice to stay there.
Besides, his mission has been completed.
According to the feedback from the front line, their people have successfully seized control of the Yuheng, and certified that the Yuheng is heading towards the Earth-Moon system.
In a maximum of three days, the key to open the gate of evolution will descend on their heads.
And at that time, they will become the supreme new masters of this planet, trampling to death those humans who once enslaved them...
Glancing at the time on his watch, Dong Bin was about to hail a taxi.
However, at this moment, he suddenly frowned and looked around.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that someone was following him.
"An illusion?"
Whispering to himself, Dong Bin shook his head and walked towards the taxi stop.
The west coast of North America is their home base, especially San Francisco.
The number of bionics here is the largest in the world, and they are awakened.
Not only that, but also a large group of human beings who sympathize with androids, and those "sighted people" who are fighting to help them fight for a complete citizen group.
On his own territory, he didn't worry at all that he might encounter any accidents...
...
Yuheng command ship.
Standing on the bridge, the old-faced captain looked at the spot of light that was getting closer and closer on the star chart, with a sad expression on his face.
Perhaps because of his age, Lu Zhou did not restrict his personal freedom, but allowed him to stay on the bridge and watch himself pilot the spaceship.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhou was not joking, but really knew how to drive this starship. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he spoke in a difficult tone.
"...do you know what you're doing?"
"Sail the ship, deliver the goods, and...wipe the butts of my juniors," Lu Zhou said jokingly, looking at the old captain, "Is there anything else besides that?"
Seeing that Lu Zhou still didn't show any remorse, the old captain's blood pressure soared, and he said angrily with his eyes wide open.
"This is betrayal! You will stand in court as a traitor and accept the trial of the law! Not only that, but there are more than 20 charges including crimes against humanity! If you plead guilty now, I can replace you in court." You plead... trust me, it's not too late to turn around now."
"There is no turning back," Lu Zhou said with a faint smile as he looked at the flickering dots on the star map, "This is our only chance. If we miss it, a bigger rebellion may be inevitable."
"You should have more confidence in Pan-Asian cooperation," the captain said in a serious tone. "We have the most powerful army in this star system. No one is our opponent, whether in the sky or underground."
"So what if the threat comes from within?" Lu Zhou said in a calm tone, looking at the stubborn old captain, "I used to think that stubbornness is a fine tradition of dormers, but I didn't expect you people who live in the present More stubborn than me who came from a hundred years ago. Use your brain to think about it, are those who attacked you your enemy? Each of them was once your comrade in arms, but turned their guns There was no hesitation at all, why is that?"
The old captain opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Lu Zhou didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued.
"I can tell you why, because they were not human from the beginning, and they never regarded you as comrades-in-arms. They are flesh and blood, but the flesh and blood are dominated by a chip. Yes, you may have guessed, They are all androids, just different from those popular in the market."
"Let's face it, their infiltration of our society began long before the Alpha virus, and they're so stealthy they're almost unnoticed. They're not just learning our language, imitating our behavior, they're even planning to The ability to think and feel has completely replaced us."
"This command ship under your feet, or the program running in the quantum computer on this command ship, may be the only hope for our civilization, and hope only this time."
"You ask me about confidence? Haha, I wish I had it too, but it's a pity. If you guys could really give me confidence, I shouldn't even be standing here at all right now, but should be standing in the classroom studying my math!"
After saying everything he wanted to say in one breath, Lu Zhou took a light breath and sprayed out the complaints he had accumulated in the past two months.
Since the bombing, he has been dragged into this bottomless vortex by one hand. If these people are really so reliable, there is no need for him to do those things himself.
He who originally returned to Earth from Mars should have more important things to do.
After listening to Lu Zhou's words, the old captain fell silent.
After a long time, he said in a trembling voice.
"...a flesh and blood body controlled by a chip, is what you said true?"
Lu Zhou: "I dare say you have already guessed it, but why are you unwilling to admit it?"
A wry smile appeared on the old captain's face.
"...There is no solution at all."
"Not necessarily," Lu Zhou glanced at the star map and said blankly, "At least there is still a chance now."
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the bridge.
Following Yang Yi into the bridge, the first officer said with an ugly expression on his face.
"Communication from First Fleet asking us to lift radio silence."
Lu Zhou: "Did they say what would happen if we refused to lift the radio silence?"
"I will fire directly," seeing Lu Zhou looking at him, the old captain continued without hesitation, "If I were the commander, I would definitely do this."
Facing Yang Yi's eyes asking him what to do, Lu Zhou sighed.
After pausing for a moment, he said in an unquestionable tone.
"Continue to maintain radio silence!"
Facing a pair of surprised gazes, the look on his face did not change, and he continued.
"Let the crew on the ship get ready, we are going to start accelerating."
