Members of the Human Security Alliance showed great shock after learning about Xu Lei's plan. After all, whether it is sleeping consciousness or evolving into a mechanical body, it has completely subverted the normal cognition in the history of human civilization. To put it more seriously,

It is against ethics and morals.

That is to say, we are in an embarrassing situation right now and there is no other better option.

Otherwise, if we implement the mechanical system in a stable period, we can easily guess that we will face great resistance from the outside world.

I can only say that time is also destiny.

They had previously stated that Xu Lei would be fully responsible for this operation and try their best to save the lives of people hiding in air-raid shelters on Earth.

Naturally, there will be no interference midway.

After all, they are self-aware and know that they can only rely on Xu Lei to have a chance to save the situation.

So just as Xu Lei expected, this human security meeting was just a formality. In the end, all members approved this special rescue plan, even though they knew it contained extremely high risks.

However, in order to ensure better management of humans with mechanical bodies in the future, Xu Lei still needs to formulate a detailed execution rule.

Use this to constrain.

After all, once human beings leave the physical body and successfully ascend mechanically, they will have more powerful power, which is also a big hidden danger in a certain aspect.

However, it takes a certain amount of time for Xingtong to build a sleeping space for consciousness.

Although he knew that delaying for one more minute would bring more dangers, in this case Xu Lei had no choice but to hope that Xingtong's speed could be slightly faster.

Although the number of media virtual helmets used to break consciousness out of sleep is sufficient and can meet the needs of people in air-raid shelters with the help of intelligent industrial robots, if a special virtual space is not established well, even if the consciousness enters the virtual world, there is no way to sleep safely.

In this case, it won't take long for consciousness to dissipate on its own.

By that time, all the efforts will be in vain.

What Xu Lei was thinking about was that he hoped the air-raid shelter could last longer and block the dead matter from the outside world.

Otherwise, no one can change this dead situation.

However, there is always a gap between ideal and reality.

Xu Lei and the others still underestimated the death substances created by extraterrestrial civilizations.

A few days later.

Just when Xu Lei began to study the manufacturing technology of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies in his mind, and was preparing to complete the first experimental product on the Shenzhou, bad news suddenly came from Li Chengzhe.

…

…

"Report to Captain, there is something wrong with some of the air-raid shelters, and you may need to come over."

Thursday, October 23, 2036.

Frost.

Shenzhou mechanical cabin.

As soon as Xu Lei took various materials transported from the Earth, Earth and Moon bases into the mechanical cabin, preparing to try to make special amorphous alloys, Li Chengzhe's virtual image popped up in the latest version of the holographic smart quantum terminal device worn on his wrist.

Judging from what he said, he should have encountered something rather difficult.

Although the amorphous alloy mechanical body can carry human consciousness, based on the introduction of technical knowledge, we can know that this is a toy developed by other advanced civilizations after all.

Even if the museum's evaluation of it is pretty good, it must still adopt a cautious attitude.

Prevent problems from arising.

You need to know that this amorphous alloy mechanical body is related to the safety of billions of human lives.

Before the effect is truly determined, mass production will definitely not be possible, otherwise defects will be a huge waste of resources.

It was out of consideration of these circumstances that Xu Lei planned to create an experimental body first to verify whether it could serve as a brain to accommodate human consciousness.

And it also ensures that the degree of control over the body is not lower than the original body.

Only after a series of tests confirm that it can indeed help humans achieve mechanical ascension can a large amount of resources be invested in this project for mass production.

Anyway, once the space of Xingtong is completed and everyone's consciousness is temporarily put to sleep, there is no need to care about the condition of the body.

Even if it is affected by death matter, it is not a big deal.

Therefore, this bought Xu Lei and the Human Security Alliance as much time as possible.

However, since Li Chengzhe took the initiative to contact him at this time, it meant that the matter was indeed very important. Thinking of this, Xu Lei had to temporarily stop what he was doing and turned around and walked towards the core command and control cabin of the battleship.

But this incident also gave Xu Lei a wake-up call.

Judging from the technical knowledge he has in his mind, it is not easy to complete the manufacturing of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies. Especially the difficulty coefficient of the first attempt is doubled. It is not known how long it will take to manufacture the first test body.

.

After all, the manufacturing environment on the battleship is definitely not as good as the Binjiang City Research Institute, and he is alone.

Low efficiency is perfectly normal.

So in response to this situation, Xu Lei thought of temporarily awakening some scientists in the institute, such as Gu Sanlin and others.

This can save him a lot of energy.

Anyway, for the sake of their safety, he brought all the company's senior management and scientific researchers to the Shenzhou.

There's just enough time to make it work.

Originally, Xu Lei wanted to wait for the crisis on Pluto to be resolved and then send them directly back to Binjiang City to continue their research.

But now the Earth is shrouded in dead matter, and all living things except the remaining humans have lost their lives. There is definitely no way to go back. We can only move the work site to the Shenzhou first and wait for the moon and Mars to be established.

Immigrant cities can get rid of the uniqueness of the earth star.

certainly.

This matter needs to wait until he comes back.

The mechanical cabin is located in the upper space of the battleship. Although it is somewhat far away from the core command and control cabin, considering that the entire interstellar battleship is only more than 300 meters long, this distance is automatically omitted.

that's all.

Xu Lei arrived at his destination in just a few minutes.

As the system automatically recognized Xu Lei's identity and opened the hatch, as soon as he stepped in, he immediately noticed Li Chengzhe with a sad face.

Apparently he really had something to discuss.

"What happened to the air raid shelter?" Xu Lei asked proactively and walked quickly to Li Chengzhe's side.

Lee Seung-cheol was in a low mood: "Today, ten air-raid shelters around the world that were renovated in accordance with Human Security Alliance standards lost their ability to block deadly substances, causing a total of millions of deaths, including two domestic air-raid shelters."

"I'm afraid the time left for us is getting less and less." Li Chengzhe didn't forget to add another sentence as soon as he finished speaking, his slightly red eyes fixed on the content on the screen.

These few words of Li Chengzhe already explain the problem very well.

The air-raid shelters that were renovated in the early stage were not able to completely isolate the impact of dead matter, but only slowed down the speed.

If this situation continues, the number of accidents in air-raid shelters will become more and more until the Earth completely becomes a planet that no longer has carbon-based life.

And Xu Lei also knew that with the continuous spread of dead matter in the past few days, the scope of influence has now entered the land.

It is also rapidly expanding its scope.

The most important thing is that according to Xingpu's calculation results, the spread speed of the influence of dead matter seems to increase a lot after entering the land.

I'm afraid it will completely cover the world in half a month.

After hearing this result, Xu Lei couldn't help but frown and thought about the matter carefully.

He had been searching in the upper space of the Science and Technology Museum for such a long time, and finally spent 40 million influence points to purchase the amorphous alloy mechanical body, a technological exhibit, with the purpose of saving the survivors in the air-raid shelter.

If they all die one after another, then what's the point of doing all this?

Xu Lei admitted that he had selfish motives.

He wants to use the amorphous alloy mechanical body to improve his own overload condition, but this does not affect his desire to save others.

No one wants human civilization to be reduced to only one billion individuals.

With his mind running rapidly, Xu Lei did not dare to hesitate and immediately asked Xingtong: "How far has the construction progress of the virtual space where consciousness sleeps reached, and how long will it take?"

"Boss, according to calculations it will take about three days." Xing Tong's mechanical body next to him said with a serious expression.

Xu Lei frowned: "Can the current level of completion support uploading and storing consciousness?"

"This will lead to the possibility of incomplete dissipation of the consciousness, and the risk rate is as high as 80%. I don't recommend you, boss, to upload it in advance." Faced with Xu Lei's question this time, Xingtong shook his head very firmly.

, which shows that this path is not feasible in advance.

Having grasped the entire situation, Xu Lei didn't have any good solutions at the moment.

We can only wait for another three days.

Of course he understood that according to the current situation, many people would probably die in three days, but he could only accept the fact.

But before that, Xu Lei thought it was necessary to let everyone know the complete truth.

At least you have to know who your enemy is.
