Give the Wedding Ring to the Beautiful Silver Dragon

"It seems to be the same. There is nothing else at this encryption level except the military. It is said that they are also conducting quantum experiments. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m sorry. Tell me how many years and months it is now, did I faint halfway through?"

"Well...how should I put it?"

Levi thought for a moment, glanced at Tio and Eden who were still fighting, and put on a serious expression.

"You are already dead."

"You just died!"

The researcher glared at Levi, then pointed at himself.

"Who is talking to you now? Do you think it's a ghost!"

"……Yes."

"what?"

"Can you still think? Then please listen to me to explain the situation. Although it may seem unbelievable at first, it will become more and more reasonable as you listen to it. First of all, I can no longer determine the current period. I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years have passed, and our homeland has long been destroyed and has become the dust of history.”

After Levi gradually accepted this reality, he didn't have so many psychological obstacles, especially when facing his former compatriots, the only thing he could do was to tell the other party the facts, which was also beneficial to him.

The researcher opened his eyes slightly after hearing the words, and asked in a very calm tone after a while: "It has been destroyed? Are there any other survivors besides you?"

"I also hope there is, and I will keep looking for it in the future, if it still exists."

"What about the shelter?"

"Cough...it exploded."

"What am I, as you observe it?"

"I don't know either. There are a lot of runaway nanomachines in this place. You appeared just as the battle started."

"So that's it, I understand, the experiment failed..."

The researcher lowered his head in disbelief, looked at his feet and hands, and touched his whole body.He was depressed for a few seconds before his expression returned to normal.

"It seems that everyone has been swallowed up by the nanomachines. There must be a logic error in our compilation program, which caused the nanomachines to absorb energy without a proper conversion mechanism. Even if they 'eat' us, they should be turned into plant nutrients. What, but in the end, I didn’t do anything, and instead caused trouble to others, I’m really sorry.”

"You don't think..."

"Sad, sad? Yes, there are, but I've already been there, and I'm used to it."

Levi was suddenly silent and didn't know what to say, because the other party was overwhelmed by his open-mindedness. Of course, the researcher's tone was still exhausted.

"Solar storms, ice ages, raging giant beasts, the world has long been in a mess. Fortunately, we escaped by hiding in the ground early, but my wife and daughter are not so lucky. After all, they are ordinary office workers. The disaster happened There is no time to evacuate immediately..."

"You have worked hard."

"I'm ashamed to say that. There are still many people who died meaninglessly. The remaining survivors are struggling underground. Even if they have no hope, they have to leave a memory for future generations. In the end, we still failed. It's really... speechless That’s right. But seeing you appear makes me feel a lot more relieved. It seems that the efforts of all the researchers in the world are not in vain. We are also very powerful, right? As long as the earth does not explode, human beings will not perish.”

The researcher took on an optimistic tone again.

"My mind is in a mess right now, and I can't remember many things, but is the nanogroup gone berserk now? I want it to stop completely, I have a suggestion."

"Appreciate further details."

"You just have to make a new logic virus and recompile it into the nano-swarm, so that the nano-machines can infect each other until all individuals completely lose their functions. Then go back to the laboratory. Uh, what's your expression?"

Levi smiled bitterly: "I don't know such high-tech things at all, and I don't have a laboratory to use, and I can't even find a computer."

"What? No laboratory!?" The researcher rubbed his hair frantically, and suddenly realized a problem, "Strange, then how did you survive until now? I don't know how many years after being frozen? Impossible... I don't know Why can I decipher the secret key on you."

"You mean this ring?"

Levi took out the vow ring and showed it to the other party.

"Yes, this is it...Why is it the shape of a wedding ring? And the information inside..."

The researcher was silent suddenly, and that weird expression gave Levi a bad feeling.

"what happened to you?"

"Ah, it seems that after becoming a nanomachine, it can do some things that humans can't do, such as barrier-free information interaction. I just read the information in the key, but the date is 60 years before the end of the world. Then there is a lot of information in it that is seriously damaged and garbled, but it gives me a very strong sense of familiarity."

Levi was suddenly alert and looked at him seriously: "Do you know something?"

"Let me think... let me think, my memory is messed up now, and as time goes by more and more irrelevant memories make me dazzled, I try to help you think, maybe it will help you... Uh, military Fang research, quantum teleportation, 60 years ago...Although it is a bit unbelievable, you may be the chosen 'terminator'!"

"..."

"Haha, just kidding, I used a stalk from an old movie. How should I put it, our situation is already very bad, so we have to try any hope. Someone proposed to travel through time, choose a suitable person to go back in time and send out Warning, let humanity prepare earlier, you may be the chosen volunteer, just like Schwarzenegger."

"I can't feel it at all. So I have such a big background, but I can't remember the past at all. Even if I know the news, I can't empathize with it. I don't even know what to do."

"My suggestion to you is to let nature take its course. It can be seen that your experiment has failed, but it is better than ours. After you come to tens of thousands of years, do something according to your own will, but I hope Can you set up a tombstone for me, name or something, just write all the researchers of the No. 60 No. [-] biological experiment base, anyway, I can’t remember which one I am.”

"I will. By the way, can you tell me a little more about my situation? Why did I come to this era?"

"Ah, I can't help you about this. How can I say that my mind is getting more and more confused now, but thanks to this, a lot of memories have flooded up. I seem to have retrieved some after you just said it. If I guess correctly, the ideal state It’s to turn you into quantum information, send it to the server, and then use some kind of technology to send it to the past. Such a whimsical plan, uh, it succeeded in some way... Ah, I’m running out of time.”

At this time, the researcher's feet began to melt, and the nanomachines that made up his body were being absorbed by another huge individual. Levi looked along the trajectory and could see that the nanogroups flowing from the ground were drying up.

Levi wanted to do something, but could only watch helplessly.

"Sorry I can't help you..."

"By the way, isn't there Eden here? Just let little Eden compile a logic virus, you tell her, she knows what to do. And don't forget to erect a monument, I like to eat dumplings, please Burn it down."

This guy also had an optimistic look at the end, until the nanomaterials that made up his body were absorbed by a distant body and became part of a monster in a rampage.

Dragon 022 rest in peace

"Listen well, Eden, now arrange for you to enter the shelter and connect all the control systems in advance. We will try to import nanomaterials starting tomorrow. If everything goes well, the second phase of the experiment will be over. Next, the nanomaterials will be handed over to you for the third phase. Experiment, if the underground environment can be successfully improved, everyone will be able to enter this shelter to live."

"Command accepted, any other instructions?"

"There are no other instructions. The task assigned to you is also a crucial part of the whole plan. Taking over all the systems will also put a heavy load on you, so you can't be sloppy."

"I am a machine."

"That's right, then just wait for us to come back."

"Please tell me the waiting time."

"If all goes well, we will be back in two days, but you also know that if you encounter any difficulties during the experiment, you will have to overcome them indefinitely."

"Will it work?"

"It must be successful."

"Understood, when you come back, I will make a cake to celebrate, just like before."

"You said it was to celebrate the day you were born... Cough, forget it, in fact, it is illegal to use experimental materials to make cakes in private, but the experiment is really successful, so it's not too much to celebrate a little bit. Well, the time is not up Too much, I have to go."

At that time, natural disasters continued to occur in the world. Volcanoes around the world continued to erupt, and giant beasts suddenly attacked the cities. Human beings faced unprecedented challenges and struggled in desperation until the rivers were about to dry up, the forests were burned, and the world fell into chaos. Endless darkness.

The surviving human beings tried their best to survive, and those who hid underground worked desperately to transform the space suitable for living, overcoming various difficulties and finally creating nanomachines like the flames stolen by Prometheus. But because of the urgent emotion, the fire becomes a great fire that burns everything.

An accident floods the lab, and a swarm of nanites devours anything alive in sight.

Eden did not wait for the familiar people, nor did he wait for the human beings who needed protection. Perhaps the creators encountered difficulties in their experiments. In the past, the creators would ask Eden to help with calculations, but now Eden cannot see and help Not to those people, a little... uneasy?

"Request communication."

Not responding.

"Emergency communication, do you need help?"

Not responding.

"Eden has completed the control of the shelter, and all the facilities have entered the best working condition. Currently, there is enough computing power to help the laboratory. Please explain the difficulties encountered in the experiment."

Not responding.

Not responding……

Not responding…………

There is no concept of spring, summer, autumn and winter underground. For machines, the passage of time is nothing but an infinite increase of numbers.

Eden finally realized that he could send the drone back to the laboratory. He was originally a machine and should not make his own decisions without human orders, but Eden seemed disturbed.

The drones dispatched to the ground arrived at the laboratory smoothly, but no one was found. Eden began to search for traces of other humans. Ten days, 20 days, one month, one year... The aimless search found nothing.

Creator, human beings are gone.

- retrieve memory

"Wait until we get back."

——Confirm the order and wait for the return of humans.

……

Even though the memory bank has been cleaned up again and again after a long time, Eden still retains the last message communicated with the creator. I don’t know why, when fighting the mimicry of nanomachines, these fragments of memory keep popping up in the processor , obviously a machine, but inexplicably feel uneasy.

How should I put it, it is already strange for a machine to have emotions.

"Warning, locked by energy weapons, pay attention to avoid."

Eden noticed that his mimicry appeared in the rear again, surrounded by sixteen laser beams, gradually blocking Eden's dodging space, each laser beam was like a precise scalpel, aiming at the mechanical flying wings behind Eden again and again, Eden However, he rotated and dodged in the intertwined laser net, his figure was fast and slow, and finally, like a flying swallow, he passed the laser net and suddenly flew straight into the sky.

Mimic locked on Eden to pursue, and the two penetrated the clouds like meteors chasing each other and came to the sky.

"The target is within 20 meters and is about to attack."

Eden, who came to the sea of ​​clouds first, turned around quickly, and the same [-] beams of light drew beautiful trajectories and hit the mime that was chasing directly. Small energy stances popped up on the surface of the mimetic body, and the laser hitting the body was distorted and scattered around. Then he ran straight towards Eden.

During the collision, the light blade popped out from Eden's hand, directly piercing through the mimic's chest, and the mimic grabbed her right arm and tried to tear the mechanical wing, but before it exerted force, Eden's light blade cut off the mimic's arm first, and the two sides were in the air. After spinning a few times, the mimicry was thrown away by Eden.

At the same time as the separation, the light blade in Eden's hand cut off the Mimic. In order to ensure the result of the battle, the laser weapon was activated again, and sixteen beams instantly cut the Mimic's body into pieces.

"The attack is complete."

However, what is eliminated is mimesis after all, and the nanogroup will not be eliminated because of this. She thinks of the battle on the ground and immediately prepares to return to Levi.

The battle on the ground was actually still suppressed by Tio, the nanoswarms that appeared here had to be beaten passively, turned into messy things again and again and rushed to Tio, and then were violently beaten to the ground by the power of the silver dragon.

"Wait a minute, Tio, don't destroy them yet."

"why?"

"The elimination of these nanogroups is not complete. They still have groups left elsewhere, which will still attack creatures and grow stronger again. I don't know where the trouble will go next time."

"Isn't it impossible to fight? Then I will seal them up."
