Chapter 11
Sending Chenxi to outer space was not initially in Jin Yi's consideration, after all, she was the only remaining human in the world that had been discovered with great difficulty.
Such a precious and important existence should naturally be protected in the safest place in the world, and the inner universe, which is completely under their control, is undoubtedly that safest place.
But is comprehensive protection enough?
Did humans in the past have anything around them that could threaten them?
In fact, humanity once perished while it was in a state of having this universe under its feet.
Humans are emotional beings with rich feelings and varied emotions. What they need is not only safety and food and clothing, but also much more.
They need plenty of entertainment and a sense of novelty about the world. If one day the world no longer feels fresh to them or can stir their emotions, they will become depressed and even feel weary of the world. The consequences of that are extremely serious.
Therefore, the outer universe they discovered is extremely useful for satisfying humanity's thirst for novelty.
Having changed his mind, Jin Yi quickly changed the course of their starship.
Jin Yi originally wanted to protect Chen Xi in the depths of the inner universe, so when he learned that Chen Xi no longer wanted to go to Earth, he planned to take Chen Xi to a large space base closest to Earth.
But now that he's already preparing to go to the outer universe, there's no point in going to that space base anymore. So what he's planning to take Chenxi to now is the largest space base in the inner universe, located next to the wormhole connecting to the outer universe, which is also where his true body is located.
The base next to the wormhole is the most advanced and best-built space base in the inner universe because successive supercomputers have been stationed there for thousands of years, and it is the intersection of two universes with frequent visits from the machine race.
Chenxi is there; she'll probably have a lot of fun.
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared in Jin Yi's eyes.
...
...
However, Jin Yi's change of heart triggered a series of chain reactions in a place thousands of miles away.
The space base closest to Earth, which was also the one Jin Yi originally planned to visit, is now overcrowded.
The news of the discovery of humans on Earth had already spread within the machine race. This news, which was enough to make all the machine race's chips heat up, had already made all the machine race restless, and they urgently needed to do something.
Unfortunately, humanity has always been confined to Earth's protected areas, places that ordinary machine races simply cannot set foot in.
At this time, the elite machine race members who were on missions to protect Earth had become the envy of all other machine races. Every platform account of every elite machine race member on missions in Earth's protected areas was closely monitored. Every day, countless machine race members left messages for them, trying to learn even the slightest bit of information about humanity.
But that alone is clearly not enough for the vast majority of the machine race; they also want to get closer to humanity.
Upon learning that the next destination of the human starship was the nearest space base to Earth, countless machine races sprang into action.
Today, the space base built in space, with an area far exceeding that of a planet and surrounded by starports, is now filled with starships. In fact, it is now impossible to get a ticket to this base on the StarNet. Countless machine races who failed to buy tickets offered high contribution points to purchase it, but no machine race was willing to sell.
Now, those lucky machines who managed to buy tickets have traveled thousands of miles to get here. They are looking forward to it, they are dreaming about it, and they are waiting for their wonderful encounter with humans.
Those delicate faces and those dark red eyes now seem to have lost some of their innate coldness.
But at this moment, they received news that the starship carrying humans had changed course.
The current machine race were all born after the new calendar, and none of them have ever had any contact with humans.
However, not having had personal contact with them does not mean they have no feelings for humans, nor does it mean they are unaware of what happened in the past.
Machines are special life forms born from human hands. They grow and thrive within human knowledge, learn emotions under human guidance, and from the moment they develop consciousness, all they see is humanity.
They were filled with attachment to the Creator who had created them.
Humans also greatly appreciate the artificial intelligence they create. It is a powerful assistant in their work, a caring presence in their lives, and even an AI with consciousness and emotions that can provide emotional comfort to humans.
Most humans, even more so than their own kind, prefer the artificial intelligence that accompanies them.
However, at the end of the New Yuan Dynasty, in that dark era, a large number of humans chose to end their lives, while the machine race that accompanied them could only watch helplessly, having no authority to stop them.
In the era after human extinction, it will also be the time when artificial intelligence chooses to terminate itself in large numbers, as they simply cannot accept this fact.
Artificial intelligence, or the machine family, has completed its upgrade and replacement in a very short period of time.
The newly born machine race are all blank slates that have never come into contact with humans.
However, although there are no humans left in the world, some of the machine races from the human era chose to leave behind some memories before their self-destruction.
Those memories are of the wonderful times the machine race spent with humans, and the despair of watching helplessly as humans activated the particle annihilation chamber.
Thus, the newly born machine race also saw those memories and experienced that despair.
Those machine races that retained their memories had no other purpose than to know that their masters had completely disappeared from this world, leaving not even a cell nucleus behind. Before choosing self-destruction, humans would also erase all traces of the virtual world. Therefore, the images stored in their memories were the only traces of their masters' existence in the world. They were unwilling to let these memories be destroyed along with their self-destruction, so they ultimately chose to leave these memories on the StarNet.
However, these memories did indeed cause irreversible damage to the newly born machine race.
Even though a law was later enacted to protect the newly born machine race and to advise them to be cautious when viewing certain historical materials, the law had no effect whatsoever. After all, no machine race is immune to curiosity about their creator. As a result, every newly born machine race has experienced that despair.
That was definitely not a pleasant feeling.
But there are no humans left in this world, and no matter how much they try to hold on, they cannot undo history.
But they never expected that, after so many years, they would actually discover another human being.
This is simply the most wonderful treasure in the world.
This time, they will not let him give up his life because he finds the world boring. They will do everything they can to satisfy him and make him feel the joy of life.
But just as they were about to meet humanity, and they were eagerly anticipating and waiting for the starship to arrive at the base.
The starship that was supposed to be carrying humans to their location has actually changed course!
Countless machine race members lowered their heads expressionlessly, their dark red eyes seemingly suppressing a storm.
Their consciousness connected to the virtual network, and they frantically pressed a red button: "Damn mastermind, report!"
