"In the past three days, many air-raid shelters have lost their ability to block the dead materials of extraterrestrial civilizations. According to current statistics, the number of survivors is less than 3 billion."

Shenzhou.

Core command and control module.

Li Chengzhe took an electronic report and reported to Xu Lei the survival situation of the people on the planet.

It begins with the fragments of Pluto falling into the Pacific Ocean.

In just over ten days, the world's population has dropped by half.

This is a huge blood feud.

However, although Xu Lei was filled with anger in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

Because now is not the time.

I believe there will be many opportunities to avenge the blood feud of extraterrestrial civilizations in the future, but the most important thing right now is to ensure the safety of the remaining three billion people.

When Xingtong said before that it would take three days to build a sleeping space for consciousness, Xu Lei had already thought of this situation.

After all, what can be achieved after the renovation of the air-raid shelter is only to delay the impact of death substances. It will definitely gradually lose its function as time goes by. In the end, the people inside will still be unable to avoid the fate of death.

But it can still retain nearly three billion people, which is already very good.

In this way, with the billions of people in underground dormant bases, human civilization can retain at least half of its power. I believe that with the support of science and technology, it will be able to develop again soon.

Xu Lei knew very well that the longer it took, the worse it would be for the people in the air-raid shelter, so he did not respond to Li Chengzhe, but directly turned his attention to the Star Pupil mechanical body standing next to him: "How is the construction of the virtual space where the consciousness sleeps?

Already?"

"Report to boss, the construction of the virtual space where consciousness is sleeping has been completed." Xingtong raised his eyes and answered normally.

Hearing this, Xu Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued the final execution order.

"Then let's get started."

at the same time.

Not only the personnel of the Shenzhou, but also the two star battleships Future and Yas are also paying attention to this so-called self-rescue.

Under the gaze of everyone, the surviving personnel in the air-raid shelter were seen holding onto the virtual helmets in their hands.

After a slight hesitation, I finally decided to put it on my head.

For most people, no one wants to face their own death.

Although becoming a machine means losing part of your humanity, there are still many benefits you can gain.

Such as a strong body.

A long life.

The key is to join the Human Security Alliance Space Force, fight against extraterrestrial civilizations, and personally avenge your loved ones and compatriots.

Different from entering a virtual world or virtual game, when everyone's vision resumed, they saw that they were in an independent space filled with white light, and there was a special device similar to a biological dormant cabin placed in front of them.

Just when he was wondering about this, Xing Tong's notification sound suddenly sounded in the space.

As long as you lie down in the device in front of you, your consciousness will completely fall into a deep sleep until you are awakened by the outside world and obtain a brand new mechanical body.

In the past few days, everyone made the final choice after careful consideration. Under such circumstances, naturally they would not change their minds rashly, even if they opened the device and lay down in it.

And the moment the sleeping device was turned off, the person wearing the virtual helmet seemed to have his brain taken away, and he suddenly fell limply to the ground.

But since this is happening in bomb shelters around the world, there's nothing to be alarmed about.

On the contrary, those who were willing to accept death couldn't help but feel these fears after seeing this scene, so that they changed their minds at the last moment and put on the virtual helmet again to upload their consciousness.

It takes about ten minutes.

Air raid shelters around the world have returned to peace.

Xingtong on the Shenzhou also reported this immediately: "According to statistics, the number of sleeping consciousnesses is currently 1.97 billion."

According to previous data, there are less than two billion conscious bodies that choose to sleep, which means that nearly one billion people are willing to accept death.

Hearing this number, Xu Lei frowned slightly: "Are so many people giving up?"

At a time when human civilization is in crisis, these people who give up are undoubtedly selfish.

But we can't say that what they did was wrong.

After all, everyone has the right to choose their own destiny.

It is also impossible for Xu Lei to forcefully extract their sleeping consciousness and upload it to the mechanical body in the future.

This obviously deviates from humanity.

It is not a truly great human civilization.

What's more, when he issued the declaration of the Human Security Alliance a few days ago, he clearly stated everyone's final wishes.

Since the outbreak of the Pluto crisis, less than half of the surviving population of human civilization has survived. Xu Lei believes that he has failed.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. They have no idea about the situation of extraterrestrial civilizations, so how can they formulate the correct response plan.

But this battle is far from over.

No one knows when extraterrestrial civilization will actually enter the solar system, but in order to wake up the sleeping people as soon as possible and successfully form a powerful space force, there are still many things that need to be done next.

And Xu Lei believes that this victory must belong to him.

Now that the Earth and the planet have been completely enveloped by dead matter, no living things can survive on it, so the next step can only be to target planets such as the Moon and Mars that have been conquered by humans.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei no longer hesitated, and immediately told Xingtong: "Inform all representatives of the parliament that the alliance meeting will be held on the Shenzhou in two hours." After speaking, he turned around and looked directly at Li Chengzhe: "In addition, in

Building a memorial site near each air raid shelter can also be considered as leaving some spiritual comfort to those who survived."

"It's captain, I'll do it right away." Li Chengzhe nodded and promised.

For the people in the underground dormant base, they will definitely choose to look for their families when they wake up.

Although no one expected that Pluto would have such a backup plan, it is still very nice to have a place to miss.

Besides, there are so many corpses around the world, and they all need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there are not many intelligent industrial robots, and now their role can only be played on the Earth and the planet, so they are most suitable for doing this kind of thing.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the whole world will be shrouded in the stench of decay.

Of course, Xu Lei also understands that if he wants to produce a large number of amorphous alloy mechanical bodies, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on the space on the interstellar battleship and the bases on the moon and Mars.

Then the efficiency will become very low.

Therefore, Earth Star always needs to be reused.

Although carbon-based life forms cannot survive normally there, the production lines of various facilities are very complete. Once the amorphous alloy mechanical bodies successfully pass detailed tests, they can be mass-produced directly on the Earth.

Letting intelligent industrial robots do the work is undoubtedly the best strategy.

——

After watching the whole process of this miraculous consciousness sleeping plan, other representatives of the alliance also understood that human civilization will once again enter a stage of rapid development.

Not only do we need to build a new alien home, we also need to improve our strength and be ready to deal with extraterrestrial civilizations.

It is no exaggeration to say that this may be a tough battle.

So after they received Xingtong's notice, they immediately took the battleship's own landing ship to the Shenzhou.

"This should be the first offline congress of congressmen held since the establishment of the Human Security Alliance, right?" In a cabin of the Shenzhou, Xu Lei looked around at the congressmen who had almost arrived, and took the lead to speak to warm up the situation.

What he said was not wrong.

When the Human Security Alliance was first established, considering the convenience and efficiency of each member, Xu Lei proposed holding meetings in the virtual world.

And this proposal was approved by everyone.

It was really unimaginable before that we could all be together face to face like this.

"Yeah, who would have thought that we people would huddle on an interstellar battleship to decide the future of human civilization." As Xu Lei started talking, Yu Hongliang, one of the representatives of the Yanfang Council, hurriedly took over.

As for Enoch, who was opposite him, he was obviously more impatient and brought the topic down to business: "Congressman Xu, our situation is not very optimistic now. We must determine the next step as soon as possible."

What Enoch wants to express is very simple. After human civilization encounters this huge crisis, it is like a headless fly at the moment, not knowing what the focus of the next work will be.

Moreover, everyone now knows that the crisis on Pluto was entirely caused by extraterrestrial civilizations.

Since the other party wants to get the Earth Star so much, and would not hesitate to transform Pluto to eliminate all carbon-based life forms on the Earth Star, maybe their presence will soon enter the solar system.

Today, except for three interstellar battleships and several heavy rail guns deployed in Mars orbit, human civilization has no other power that it can use.

It is conceivable that if a conflict with extraterrestrial civilization breaks out at this time, it will be very detrimental to mankind.

Whether it is the antimatter power device inside Pluto or the mysterious dead matter that can wipe out life on the entire planet in a short time, it proves that their technological level is far above that of human civilization, so they must make all preparations in advance.

OK.

Humanity will never be able to bear such huge losses as today again.

Perhaps Enoch's words touched everyone's hearts, and the entire temporary meeting room suddenly fell into silence.

However, Xu Lei must have anticipated these worries. Since he specially called everyone to convene this alliance meeting, it is natural that plans and policies have been formulated to ensure that human civilization will win in this new civilized war.
