Deep Space Fleet

"Electromagnetic pulse bombs are really a good thing. They are a sharp weapon against rebel robots. It is hard to imagine a scene where all civilized robots rebel...Is it a war between intelligent life and robots?"

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and watched the spaceship carried by the soldiers set off again to explore new clues.

This time, there were no major problems, and the exploration team quickly brought back a large number of valid objects. After bringing all the items into the safe house, the scientists of the new human civilization and the hemispheric civilization began to analyze the data stored in the equipment again.

After the electromagnetic pulse bombs were cleaned up, most of the data was destroyed, and it became very difficult to find effective information.

Fortunately, there are many experts in this field, and the new human civilization can be regarded as a novice in picking up garbage, and has not picked up too much interstellar garbage. But the hemisphere civilization is a veteran of picking up garbage. When the development of science and technology is slow, they have been around the Dyson sphere for a long time, and they have developed by picking up garbage and cracking technology, so they have also trained quite a few professional scientists.

The hemisphere civilization directly dispatched a cracking team of 2,000 people, while the new human civilization dispatched 1,000 elites.

In this way, after a week of hard work, more than 3,000 people finally came to a conclusion.

Strong artificial intelligence!

There is indeed a strong artificial intelligence that occupied the main base of the Toth civilization, and then caused this accident.

"We believe that this artificial intelligence cannot be regarded as the type we expected. Its strength is not as expected, and it can extend infinitely upwards. Because we have stayed here for so long, it has not launched an attack on us. It shows that its ability has a certain degree of defects."

"In other words, we believe that its main purpose is not to destroy intelligent life, but to occupy the entire galaxy!"

"Then, the main cause of the matter is this..."

An iron ball fell silently into the base of the Toss civilization. When the giant salamanders found out about it, they were naturally very nervous, and began to carefully explore and analyze it.

If it is too dangerous, they will prepare a large force to evacuate.

As a result, the "artificial intelligence" in the iron ball did not directly attack, but tried to recruit the Toth civilization and let them join the faction of the Aleph civilization!

This "joining" is not enough to talk about it, but to implant a special brain chip into the whole population!

After the chip is implanted, all members of the Toth civilization will become part of the Aleph civilization and jointly build a beautiful galaxy home...

The leader of the Toth civilization was stunned when faced with this request. They spoke of anger and shock again.

What an interstellar joke, the large salamander yearning for personal freedom is of course unwilling to implant inexplicable chips.

If the chip developed by the fifth-level civilization is rashly implanted, the thinking will be forcibly changed, the culture will be lost, and even the life may not belong to them. Are they still the same? !

"So, when the conversation failed, this artificial intelligence quickly launched an omnic mutiny and robbed the entire underground base. Even though he was vigilant, under the influence of the digital virus, the Toth civilization was still hard to guard against, and suffered a crushing defeat. Finally A part of the population barely escaped."

This story is recorded in the wreckage of the spaceship collected by people.

This part of the truth is still pieced together by scientists from different descriptions.

Zhang Yuan's heart is very heavy, just the five characters "Aleph Civilization" are enough to make people feel heavy.

And what is even more shocking is that the "Aleph civilization" actually adopted this method to unify the entire galaxy.

"Yeah, one of the most efficient ways."

"So, that iron ball..."

"Now, there are already more than a hundred iron balls in the square, are they all copied from it?"

One of the vice-captains said a little heavily: "We can boldly believe that those iron balls are theoretical—Von Neumann detectors!"

Von Neumann detectors!

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart, this is the means of the fifth-level civilization. With the appearance of the von Neumann detector, the time of the entire galaxy is really running out.

In the Fermi paradox discussed in the period of earth civilization, there is the term von Neumann detector.

At that time, people believed that civilization was rare, the universe was dark, and human beings were definitely the lucky ones in the universe.

People have a hypothesis about the method of interstellar colonization at the level of the galaxy, which is to create an unmanned machine capable of deep space travel, and then use the materials on the new planet to take 500 years or so to replicate itself and send the replica to the next target .

This kind of machine that can travel in deep space and replicate itself is called a von Neumann probe.

It is like the proliferation of a virus, blooming and bearing fruit from one planet, and then spreading the replica to the next planet, which is an exponential growth rate.

At that time, humans estimated that even if they sailed at a speed much slower than the speed of light, this model only needed 3.75 million years to complete the colonization of the entire galaxy.

Of course, humans at that time did not observe von Neumann detectors, so they blindly believed that there were no too advanced intelligent civilizations in the universe.

Now people already know why. Human beings at that time underestimated the difficulty of research and development of strong artificial intelligence too optimistically, and also estimated the progress of science too optimistically.

This type of machine manufacturing is very difficult, at least to achieve strong artificial intelligence level technology!

Because the spacecraft capable of deep space travel is already extremely complex, from the energy room to the engine, to the control center, computing center, and self-maintenance robots.

After arriving at the destination, it still needs to obtain local materials, smelt and process, and complete a series of production lines before it can completely reproduce the second spaceship.

There are countless processes involved in smelting a piece of ore into a superalloy, let alone making these materials into industrial products.

Do you want to do it with weak artificial intelligence alone? Impossible to do, just the level of self-maintenance is even more difficult, human beings absolutely do not have this kind of technology!

The new human civilization needs at least more than 100,000 high-end talents and a lot of equipment to be able to restart civilization on a different planet.

Moreover, the smaller the population, the more time it will take to restart civilization, and cultivating the next generation of high-quality is a huge problem. In the end, it will take millions of high-tech talents to barely develop a civilization that spans the galaxy. Spaceship production line.

Therefore, the von Neumann detector has always been a legend.

Human beings can't figure it out by themselves, and they can't figure it out even now. The old five-level or six-level civilizations in the past have no interest in filling the entire galaxy with such detectors. They really have no interest.

But now, when this von Neumann detector appeared in front of him, Zhang Yuan felt the panic in his heart.

The Milky Way is so big, so what?

In the face of exponential growth, coupled with warp speed navigation, it does not need 3.75 million years at all, and it is likely to only need a fraction of it, 50,000 years, or even 10,000 years!

Relying on this infinite value-added detector, the Aleph civilization can occupy the entire galaxy in 10,000 years! At that time, every time new humans land on a new planet, they will find its existence!
