Finding alternative fuel sources will be important for our survival in the coming century. Governments around the world have been devoting more and more cash to the discovery of power sources which take the place of fossil fuels. So, what have our nation's scientists been developing?
Robots powered by the dead!
Hell yes! Now, it's no secret that one of my ultimate desires in life is to see the apocalypse happen, survive it, and then ride around the post-apocalyptic wasteland on a motorcycle looking for whatever adventures come my way. As tensions between countries cool off and people get smarter about containing flesh-eating bacteria, the apocalypse is looking less-and-less likely everyday. As a result, I have to applaud Robotic Technology Inc. for working so whole-heartedly to usher in one of the more creative apocalyptic scenarios I've ever heard.
I mean, a robot can only forage for corpses for so long. Even on the battlefield, the battle is going to end sometime. I know I sure as hell wouldn't volunteer to retrieve the autonomous, flesh-eating robot from no-man's land. So what happens? The food dries up. Adaptive foraging becomes more desperate. Eventually one of these things just happens to do in a dying soldier and then BAM, THEY HAVE LEARNED TO KILL! Killing means more fuel, after all. Foraging parameters change. Man is no longer top of the food chain.
All you need to complete the picture is to give these machines some sort of wireless network connection, allowing these new parameters to be shared. Soon, these devices are going on a rampage the second they roll out of the factory. Maybe the factory itself is abandoned with the machinery mindlessly cranking out more and more hungry robotic killing machines. Major cities fall as wide swaths are cleared of all organic matter.
And then...I buy a motorcycle.
