Global Survival: Start a Shelter

Chapter 241 Dialogue
The voice fell.

The whole room fell into silence.

The five looked at Su Ming expressionlessly, without saying a word.

After a while.

A person standing in the middle slowly said: "The central city has not been abandoned, the city is still functioning, the high-ranking people just left here temporarily, and they will return here one day."

Central City.

superior.

When Su Ming heard these two words, his eyes lit up.

It seems that there will be unexpected gains this time.

"Isn't it abandoned? Have you guys gone out to see what your 'Central City' has become? Not to mention being buried in yellow sand, just talking about those collapsed buildings and streets with no people in sight. What do you think? This is normal operation?
I don't believe that you don't even have the ability to judge, you and your city have all been abandoned by the 'superior'!

What you are saying is just deceiving yourself and others! "

The voice fell.

The room fell silent again.

Finally, there was a ripple on the expressions of the five people.

I don't know how long it took.

One of them suddenly said: "It has been 150 years since the last trial in the tribunal, and the lifespan of the superiors is only 500 years. Admit it, the superiors will not come back again."

Another person answered: "The superiors are exploring the world. They are carrying out a great movement. Central City is where they started. They will not abandon Central City."

"Since we are exploring the world, why have all the superiors left Central City?"

As soon as this question came out, the other person stopped talking.

A look of sadness and confusion appeared on all five people's faces.

Obviously, they don't know what the meaning of their persistence is.

Central City is gone, and the laws they upheld are no longer necessary.

Su Ming stood aside, listening to their conversation, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in his mind.

The five people in front of you are most likely not real beings, but artificial intelligence!

Just like the two robots they met outside before.

These five people are also robots, but their division of labor is different from the previous two.

Of those two, one is responsible for maintaining order and detecting life violations.

Another life responsible for apprehending violations.

And these five are responsible for judging.

As for the superiors in their mouths, if nothing else, they are the creatures that created them.

and.

What can be known so far is.

The creatures who created them abandoned this city with mature supporting facilities because they found a place more suitable for survival.

of course.

There is another possibility.

That is, those creatures predicted in advance that there might be a disaster that they could not resist, so they chose to leave here and find a new place to live.

Su Ming looked at them and suddenly asked: "What does the superior you are talking about look like?"

When the five people heard this question, they seemed to think of something, and they all looked at Su Ming.

Su Ming was a little embarrassed by what they saw.

At this time.

The person standing in the middle said slowly: "Your image is the same as the superiors, the difference is that your body does not have the energy contained in the superiors."

After a pause, he continued: "More than 2000 years have passed in the outside world, can you tell us what the world looks like now?"

Su Ming thought about it and told the truth.

"The climate is harsh, resources are scarce, the land is irradiated, and crops cannot grow. The air is filled with all kinds of ash, the sky is covered by smog, and it is difficult for the sun to shine on the earth..."

Su Ming described the current situation of the wasteland world to the five people.

After the five people heard this, they all fell into a long silence.

I don't know how long it took.

Someone sighed and said: "It is a wise choice for the superiors to leave here."

Su Ming frowned and asked, "What was the world like 2000 years ago?"

The person standing in the middle heard this question, hesitated for a moment, and said, "2000 years ago, the climate here would undergo steady changes, and each change would nourish the body of the superior in different directions.

There is a large amount of energy in the air and land. With simple processing, this energy can be utilized by superiors. "

Su Ming was keenly aware that he did not mention crops.

You know, for known organisms, there are only two ways to obtain energy.

One is to convert inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide into its own energy through its own structure.

This kind of organism is also called an autotroph, and various plants and some bacteria belong to this kind of organism.

The other cannot directly synthesize inorganic matter into organic matter, and must ingest ready-made organic matter to maintain life.

Such organisms are also called heterotrophs, like animals, most bacteria, fungi, belong to this kind of organisms.

Without crops, or food, it can only be an autotroph.

Moreover, listening to the second half of his words, it is also very similar to the characteristics of autotrophic organisms.

If so.

So it is much easier for this kind of superior person to survive than for humans.

Su Ming thought for a while, and then asked: "Do you have any information about the superiors here? Text or influence are fine, I want to see."

The man in the middle shook his head and said, "We don't have such authority."

Su Ming was startled: "The city is abandoned, do you still care about authority?"

The man in the middle said: "Our authority is given by the superior. If the superior does not grant us such authority, we will never be able to do things beyond our authority."

Su Ming said: "Then I want to know, what are you going to do next?"

obviously.

These artificial intelligences are so advanced that they have evolved something like emotions.

Otherwise, when they heard Su Ming mention "abandoned" and "abandoned", they would not show the sadness and confusion.

They have feelings, which is a good thing for Su Ming.

If they don't have any emotion, just a bunch of cold data, then the problem will be troublesome.

At least Su Ming had no hope of getting out of trouble.

"us……"

When the five people heard this question, their faces showed blank expressions.

After a long time, he replied, "We don't know either."

The man in the middle said: "We exist to maintain the order established by the superiors and allow the city to operate normally.

Now that the superiors have left, there is no need for the city to continue to operate, and we... have lost the meaning of existence. "

Speaking of which.

The five of them showed sadness again.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming said decisively: "Who said you have no meaning of existence? I also own a city, and I have established various orders. You can go to my city and continue to do what you did before!"
