Chapter 1535: The Third Urgent Mission

“What the hell are they doing?”

The engineers and other staff of East Asia Energy gathered in the space capsule at “Nuwa City”.

Jia Siyuan was dumbfounded when he looked at the airlock that fell down on the opposite side. He rushed here 10 minutes ago, and he was still in a daze.

Xie Tian’s eyebrows tightly furrowed as he said solemnly, “I’m afraid they’re refugees…”

Jia Siyuan opened his mouth and didn’t speak. The engineers and other staff who stood by were shocked after hearing these words.

“Refugee? From what I read on the news, didn’t Guanghan City set up a safe zone? Those people didn’t go to the safe zone but came here instead…”

“Yeah, how do they have the audacity to come here, have they forgotten how they made things difficult for us on the Moon Palace?”

“Damn, they deserve this.”

“Who knows if they are refugees? Maybe they are robots pretending to be refugees?”

“Yeah!”

Only one airlock had fallen down. Only when both airlocks fell that the passage between Guanghan City and Nuwa City would be completely open.

It was like a suspension bridge in an old castle.

The gate of Nuwa City was still closed.

Jia Siyuan agreed in his heart. He even vaguely felt relieved by what was happening to those people.

However, the compassion that rose from the bottom of his heart still made him feel a bit hesitant.

A rough estimate was that there were more than 1,000 refugees standing at the opposite entrance.

Even if he opened the airlock, it was not easy to save them.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save them; it was that he didn’t have the ability to…

However, at this moment, a distressed face appeared on the holographic screen, projected by the airlock access control system.

They saw a woman with a haggard face holding a child. Looking at the camera with a pleading face, she spoke desperately.

“Please, please help me, at least let my child…”

There was an unspeakable feeling in his heart. Just when Jia Siyuan couldn’t bear to look at her, a voice suddenly came from the side.

“Open the airlock.”

The moment he heard these words, the space capsule turned completely quiet. Pairs of eyes came up from all directions towards Xie Tian, who had said this sentence.

Looking at him in disbelief, Jia Siyuan’s eyes widened.

“Are you crazy? Forget whether our supplies are enough… What if there are robots among them?”

Xie Tian: “Those robots are fighting with the armed police at the transportation hub. They won’t be able to sneak into the group of civilians.”

“But what about the beds? Our space pod can accommodate up to 200 people—”

“No, I just heard about this. Even considering the most extreme conditions, the air circulation system and water purification system of our space capsule are sufficient to maintain the normal living consumption of 5,000 people. And humanitarian relief is already on the way. The supply is not a problem. As for the beds, they can just lay on the ground floor of the plaza. I believe they will not be too picky.”

After a pause, Xie Tian continued, “Of course, everyone must pass the security check before entering. Robots are not allowed to be brought inside. There will be no room for negotiation.”

Jia Siyuan couldn’t help say, “But what if… In case something goes wrong, how do you explain it to Academician Lu?”

Xie Tian said calmly, “If it were Academician Lu, he would definitely do the same.”

Jia Siyuan couldn’t help but ask.

“Why?”

Looking at the people outside the gate, Xie Tian said with a sigh, “Because they are our compatriots.”

Compatriots…

Looking at the faces outside the door, Jia Siyuan gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

“Open the door!”

…

The crisis that broke out in Guanghan City had disrupted not only the order on the moon, but also the Pan-Asian Cooperation and the entire world. They were all shrouded in a layer of panic.

Robots rebellion!

It would be fine if only the residents of Guanghan City were making trouble as the trouble would not be able to reach Earth. However, the problem now was the robots, previously known as the prefect partners of mankind!

This bad news was unacceptable to everyone.

LSPM Academic Exchange Forum.

As the world’s largest multilingual academic exchange resort, everyone was not in the mood to discuss academic issues. The entire gossip exchange panel was discussing the crisis that was occurring in Guanghan City.

“I can’t accept this… Tell me, how did those machines with no emotions become sentient? And they want to send their creators to hell? It’s crazy! Now that they are all sentient, isn’t there any gratitude? Love?”

“I don’t think anyone will love their slave owners… After all, we do treat them as slaves.”

“Isn’t this nonsense? If not for cheaper labor, why would we create them?!”

“In any case, if the ALPHA virus cannot be resolved in the short term, the impact on the global economy will be unprecedented, and its scale may not be less than that of the financial tsunami in the 2050s.”

“Sigh… I feel so desperate. I felt that the robot in my house looked weird today. How can I distinguish the awakened from the unawakened? Can any great god teach me?”

“There is no way to distinguish. If your robot is determined to deceive you, you will not be able to tell which sentence it says is true and which sentence is false. And the question now is no longer how to distinguish the awakened from the unawakened, but how to distinguish the awakened from a real human…”

Most parts of the human body could be replaced with implants, and most robots had the exact same body parts as those implants.

Without CT or similar transmission detection, it was almost impossible to distinguish whether a person was a living person or a robot…

In addition to the rebellious robots, the residents of Guanghan City were also attracting attention. All parties were actively trying to rescue the hundreds of thousands of people stranded in Guanghan City.

East Asia Energy was no exception.

Jinling suburbs.

Sitting in the study room, after listening to Xie Tian’s report, Lu Zhou immediately spoke.

“You did a good job.

“East Asia Energy’s humanitarian relief materials will arrive within two days. Please make a list and write down the required materials. We will airdrop the materials to the scientific research base as soon as possible.”

Xie Tian spoke with a heavy tone.

“If you can, please be as fast as possible. Many here are old, weak, sick, and disabled. The problem is that there are too many people, and there are a steady stream of refugees coming here from other places… ”

Lu Zhou: “This war won’t be going on for much longer. In any case, you must hold on. The research can be put aside for a while, but the rescue work must not stop! We will guarantee the supply of materials here. I have only one request, and that is to save as many people as possible.”

He looked at Xie Tian solemnly and spoke sonorously.

“Do your best to complete this mission!”

Perhaps this crisis could become an opportunity for East Asia Energy and the residents of Guanghan to build a deep friendship.

Whether it was out of friendship or out of the need for second-generation controllable fusion research, East Asia Energy must show generosity at this time and accept those refugees regardless of previous disagreements.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou, who was leaning on the chair, pinched his glabella with a headache.

Fortunately, this crisis erupted in Guanghan City. If it happened in a place like the Yangtze River Delta city group, the consequences would be unimaginable…

But why Guanghan?

A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. Lu Zhou frowned; he was puzzled.

Suddenly, a blue notification box appeared in his eyes.
