Arknights? Colonization Ark!

The weight of a mobile city fluctuates between 100 billion and 400 billion tons. How much iron ore and stone would this monster consume, and how many hills would it flatten when in operation?

Just thinking about it, you can tell how many mountains they have opened up and how deep the ground they have dug in this world.

The doctor has slept for so many years, it would be a miracle if he could recognize himself when he woke up.

"Pureseth..."

The doctor silently repeated the name. He remembered what Precious had said to him before he fell into hibernation, holding his hand. There was no doubt that Precious must still be alive.

but……

The doctor's temple suddenly ached.

"I don't know. She should still be alive, but I've never seen her."

Zhang Miao raised his eyebrows.

never seen it?

Do you think he is a fool?

Since the other party put you in the medical cabin instead of killing you directly, it means that the relationship between you two is special.

When you can wake up is up to others. If Precious is really still alive, she will know the moment the doctor's medical cabin is activated. How could she not come to see him?

Either the Doctor is lying, or there's something wrong with Precious.

Both possibilities are possible.

But it was meaningless to worry about Priss now. It was not up to him to decide whether the other party was willing to come out.

What matters now is Hai Si. The doctor is right in front of him, and no one understands Hai Si better than him.

Chapter 84: Humanity has already lost from the beginning

Zhang Miao directly interrupted the doctor's idea of ​​continuing the conversation and said that they could talk about other things later.

The matter of Hai Si cannot be delayed. If it is really as the doctor said, that Hai Si is a weapon used against Originium and the evil demons in outer space, then once it comes ashore, all of Zhang Miao’s plans will be in vain.

We have to find a way to make it stop.

"What is the cause of Haisi's riot? Is there any way to stop it?"

Dr. Xia didn't expect Zhang Miao to interrupt his train of thought so suddenly. He was still thinking about Precious. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Haisi...

The doctor shook his head.

"I went to the coast as soon as I woke up this time, but the environment had changed so much that I couldn't find the previous diving station. I also had no way to enter the ocean again, so I didn't know what happened inside."

Then the conversation changed

"When I left, the preparation of Haisi had reached the final stage. The remaining people should be able to complete it without me, so I felt relieved to leave the deep sea laboratory to meet Precious. I don't know what happened afterwards, but I am sure that Kal'tsit must know something."

He is lying.

Zhang Miao was sure that the doctor must know something, but this guy just refused to say it. He didn't trust him at all.

Hai Si is the product of the doctor's research. Even if it is out of control now, he may have a way to solve this problem and make Hai Si his trump card again.

The risk of this matter must be extremely high, so high that the doctor had never considered this option before he showed up.

But now on this planet, the only ones who can fight against him are probably the evil demons in the north, the out-of-control Hai Si, and other hidden research projects. For the doctor, Hai Si is his last trump card, even if it is very risky.

Reaching out to pour water from the kettle into the doctor's cup, Zhang Miao said slowly:

"Doctor, I hope you can understand that if Hai Si comes ashore, you will all die, but I am not sure. Since you choose to help the Sarkaz, it means you still need them. I also choose the Sarkaz. This is a space for cooperation. I don't know what you are planning behind the scenes, but if you force me to overturn this table, then no one will be able to play."

The water in the cup was getting more and more, but neither of them seemed to notice.

"For me, it's just a matter of finding a new table and playing the game again, but for you, this table is everything to you."

At this point, the cup in the doctor's hand was completely full. The steaming water overflowed the rim of the cup and flowed through the doctor's fingers, but his hand did not tremble at all.

Although the doctor was not burned, he could feel the scorching temperature through his gloves.

Zhang Miao lowered his head and whispered softly into the doctor's ear.

"It's gone, but it's really gone."

"You're threatening me."

The doctor's voice no longer had the slightly sad and vicissitudes of life it just had, and it returned to that cold voice, as if the good relationship that had just been established between the two was an illusion.

Zhang Miao said nothing and put the kettle back on the table.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a threat or not. I'm just stating a fact. I still value you, my compatriots. As long as you don't cause me trouble, my tolerance will be very high."

He reached out again and took the tissue that had been on the table, then placed it in front of the doctor.

"If we cooperate, we both win. If we don't cooperate, you lose and I don't lose."

The doctor remained silent, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of cooperating with Zhang Miao. It was definitely a lie for Zhang Miao to say that he did not lose money. He just said that after losing, he still had enough chips to play another game. But as he said, the chips in the doctor's hand were only enough for this round, and if he lost, they would be gone.

Seeing that the doctor had no reaction, Zhang Miao felt that there was hope. At a time like this, of course he had to press on and intensify his efforts.

"I know what you're worried about, but think about it. I don't know why you chose the Sarkaz, but if I hadn't helped you, at best you would both lose. Even if you could successfully unify Kazdel, so what? No matter what you want Theresa to help you do, your every move will be in the eyes of the Terran countries. They were able to crush Kazdel once two hundred years ago. Today, two hundred years later, the strength of the Terran countries is far greater than before. Can Kazdel be compared with two hundred years ago?"

"You need me. You need me to help you withstand the pressure from everyone so that you have the space and time to implement your plan. Precious put you to sleep because she must have been afraid that you would ruin her plan. So much time has passed, and no one knows how far her plan has progressed.

Can you defeat Preseth with the help of the Terrans who are still at war? Or do you think the Terrans will listen to your explanation, put down their weapons and negotiate with the Sarkaz?

You woke up earlier than me, and you know very well what kind of people they are."

When he said this, the tissue in Zhang Miao's hand had already been delivered to the doctor.

"Choose me, your compatriot who came from afar, or those out-of-control reptiles in the sea. Think about it."

The doctor did not choose to take the tissue. Instead, he raised his head to reveal his eyes that had just been covered by his bangs. His sharp eyes swept away his previous dejection, and he looked directly at Zhang Miao without fear.

"what do you want?"

Zhang Miao laughed

"I am a greedy person. I want everything."

After hearing Zhang Miao's reply, the doctor finally moved. He took a few tissues from the other person's hand and wiped the water stains on his gloves.

"You can't win. Back then, our entire fleet was defeated head-on and had to survive here. Now that so much time has passed, no one knows how strong they have become."

Zhang Miao didn't expect that the doctor would bring the topic back to the starting point. But it was true that it was the group of evil demons that forced the doctor and his friends to the planet. Zhang Miao had to at least give the doctor a possibility.

"It's true that I can't win, but I don't believe that all your preparations over the years have been in vain."

Zhang Miao was not so arrogant as to think that he could destroy the fleet of an interstellar human country in its heyday. That was just a pipe dream. If he really said that, the doctor would turn around and look for another buyer.

After listening to this, the doctor shook his head.

"It's different. We've already lost from the beginning. Humanity left this game 10,000 years ago."

"Whether it's me, Precious, or Pretis, the latecomers, we never intended to continue participating in this game as humans from the beginning."

Chapter 85: I will enter this gambling game again as a human being

Not planning on playing this game again as a human?

For a moment, Zhang Miao didn't understand the meaning of what the doctor said.

Do you want to stop being a human being?

Wait... not being a human...

Sea... insect swarm...

Zhang Miao reacted immediately. He stared at the doctor in amazement and almost uttered something through his teeth.

"You crazy people!"

Since humans can no longer survive, then we should stop being human, completely change our life form, and live in a different way...

This was a complete shock to Zhang Miao. No matter how extreme he was, he could only think of a way to die together with those ghosts.

He had never thought about giving up his human identity.

Of course the doctor knew what Zhang Miao was thinking, but to him, it didn’t matter. Nothing mattered.

"Crazy...haha...so what if we're crazy? We are all crazy!"

The doctor suddenly stood up and looked at Zhang Miao fearlessly. His bloodshot eyes looked extremely ferocious at this moment.

Zhang Miao could no longer see any human calmness and wisdom in his eyes, only endless madness and wildness.

The other person's thoughts seemed to have traveled through time and returned to ten thousand years ago, an era when everyone was forced into a desperate situation.

"The original human beings were influenced by the higher dimensions and became monsters, which is only the result. We still don't know the cause. If we want to change, we have to change thoroughly! We have to cut off all possibilities!"

The Doctor's tone became increasingly fierce, and his last words sounded almost like a monster's roar.

"Not only the soul and consciousness need to be transformed, but also the body and genes. We need to transform our human bodies into the strongest biological warfare weapons in the universe, which can kill those monsters or rush out when the opportunity arises, bite them with teeth, or tear them apart with claws!"

“Even if we are reduced to the most primitive beasts, even if we abandon our identity and dignity as human beings, we must fight to the last moment as intelligent life!”

"Instead of turning into those flesh and blood monsters without any self-awareness!!!"

After saying these words, the doctor was panting, his pupils were so red that they were about to bleed, and his extremely thin body now exuded a fierce aura, like a man-eating beast.

The whole room was so quiet that only the doctor's breathing could be heard.

A civilization's final struggle before its demise is often an extremely insane destruction.

Zhang Miao, who was standing in front of him, stared expressionlessly at the beast that had finally shed its veneer of rationality, and was not intimidated at all by the other party's terrifying aura.

He reached out and took out a tissue and wiped the saliva on his face that was sprayed out because the doctor was too excited.

After the Doctor's panting finally died down, he spoke.

"This is not the first challenge we have faced, nor will it be the last. Since they want to exterminate humans, I will let them experience the wrath of humans."

“Even if the stars collapse, even if the stars go out, even if the fire of civilization ignited by humans has now dimmed, I will take over this remaining fire and pass it on.”

"Since you have given up your identities as human poker players, I, an outsider, will take over and continue to participate in this gambling game as a human."

"The flame will not be extinguished until the last life on Terra who considers himself a human falls."

The two people confronting each other occupy one side, just like the opposition between humanity and animality.

If we say that the Doctor is a human being who is forced into a corner by endless darkness, he is ready to abandon everything, once again unleash the wildness hidden in his heart, and fight the monsters in the darkness in the most primitive way until the last moment.

Zhang Miao was the traveler holding a torch who had mistakenly entered the dark forest. The traces of civilization had not yet faded from his body, and reason still prevailed.

There is no right or wrong between the two, and there is no difference in their positions.

Some just have different choices.

"Why do you think you can win?"

The reason why the Doctor chose the swarm of Zerg with Gestalt memory, in addition to fighting against mutations, is also because the swarm can utilize the most resources to reproduce the most power in the shortest time. The only thing that can compare to it is the cluster of nanomachines.

Unfortunately, he majored in biology and didn't understand physics.

And most importantly, biological organisms may be able to transform back into humans or robots one day in the future, but some things are gone forever.

Once the false consciousness is uploaded to the server and turned into code, it will be frozen forever and there will be no possibility of growth.

This has nothing to do with the computing power of the processor, but only with the innate dependence of the soul and the body.

It has always been the case that flesh turns into machines, but I have never heard of machines turning into flesh.

"Why? Why can't I win?"

Zhang Miao asked back

"Back then, you only had one million people, and you were totally unprepared. Now, Terra has at least 400 million permanent residents. If, as you said, this galaxy is safe enough, then it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of billions of people."

"If there are no more warships, we can build more. If there are not enough people, we can continue to reproduce. The Terrans are strong enough. They have never stopped exploring the unknown, and they have no lack of courage to face the enemy."

"The feat and courage of our ancestors who moved their home planet several light years away are still being praised today."

"Could the threat this time be greater than the helium flash crisis they encountered?"

The doctor was speechless for a moment because of Zhang Miao's blocking. Yes, no matter how difficult their situation was, could it be more difficult than when they had to face the mighty power of God on Earth?

After thousands of years of wandering in the void of space, they could die at any time due to an accident, but they resolutely embarked on the journey, not hesitating to gamble the time of nearly a hundred generations.
