Earth Era

Xiao Yun's two speculations point to two different directions, and these two different directions mean different coping methods. As the supreme commander of the fleet, General Emerk must choose the correct direction as possible. Now it seems that there is no doubt that the speculation that "that genius has always been in the robot group" is more credible.

So...unless Xiao Yun can find a way to "enhance the strength of robots without relying on scientific progress" to prove the feasibility of this model, otherwise General Emerk will be regarded as "that genius has always been in the robot group" "Among" this speculation is used as a premise to arrange your next plan.

Xiao Yun hesitated, wanting to say something, but in the end he just sighed and did not say anything. General Emerk issued the latest order: "Continue to analyze this robot, and at the same time, continue to search on the planet Raqqa, and be sure to find everything left here by those machine monsters. At the same time...order all combat staff to come to the conference room, Xiao Yun, you come too."

After the order was issued, it took less than ten minutes for all combat staff and related personnel to gather in the conference room. General Emerk first introduced the current situation, and then said: "There are two questions now. First, the voyage destination of the infinite replicating robots, that is, where they will go after leaving the Raqqa galaxy; second, what should we do? What methods and strategies should be used to deal with these robots? You can express your opinions on these two issues."

"It is meaningless to discuss the voyage destination of these robots." A combat staff officer first expressed his opinion, "Because...it is obvious that these robots cannot have only one voyage destination."

"Oh?" General Emerk glanced at the staff officer. The staff officer continued: "If you were the general, or any of us here were that genius, then... would we choose to only fix one destination?"

The conference room instantly fell into silence. The staff officer continued: "If it were me... I would choose a major voyage destination, and then... launch a voyage to all surrounding star systems. The main destination will concentrate most of the robots, and the remaining destinations will Then only a very small number of robots need to be launched.”

General Emmerk whispered, "This is the worst-case scenario."

The staff officer shrugged his shoulders: "General, I'm sorry to tell you that the probability of this worst-case scenario happening is as high as 99%. As long as that genius's head doesn't have a convulsion, he will definitely do this. .”

General Emerk sighed deeply.

This is indeed the worst case scenario. Although the number of robot groups now reaches trillions, they are still in their infancy. If they can be locked up in a star system and then all annihilated, this crisis can be successfully resolved. But... what if they've dispersed?

The characteristic of the infinite replicating robot is that it can quickly replicate itself. A star system does not need too many robots, even just one. After a few decades, the number of robots will skyrocket in an exponential manner, and may even increase to tens of trillions. And this... it doesn't cost much for the initial robot group.

Think about it, taking out one, or a hundred, or even a hundred thousand robots from a group with trillions of robots to start a long voyage will not have any impact on the overall robot group, because compared to the entire The robot group is just a very small number. And once they can sail to their intended destination, their numbers will immediately skyrocket. In other words, this is a method with extremely low investment and extremely high output. There is no reason for the genius not to do this.

And once he does this, he will plunge human civilization into a situation that is beyond redemption. Because... that genius may have many preset voyage goals. In the most extreme case, he may have set every star in the Milky Way as a goal - after all, the total number of stars in the entire Milky Way is only Just over one hundred billion.

Of course, the actual situation cannot be so extreme, so the most likely scenario is that the genius selected 10,000 to 100,000 star systems as a target, and then selected among these tens of thousands of star systems. Come up with one as the main goal. Next, he will arrange for most of the robots to go to this main goal - assuming that the number of these robots is 80%, then this number will be more than 150 billion robots, and the remaining Twenty percent is more than 400 billion units.

More than 400 billion robots are dispersed to 100,000 targets, so each target can be divided into more than 4 million units. In other words... the most likely scenario at this moment is that more than 150 billion robots have gone to the main target, and the remaining 100,000 star systems... each have more than 4 million robots arriving .

One hundred thousand star systems is an impossible goal for human civilization to achieve in a short time. You know, the total number of star systems currently explored by human civilization is only a few hundred. Moreover, how many combat ships are there in total within human civilization? It is impossible for human civilization to send combat spacecraft to every star system. In other words... the proliferation of robots has become an irreversible conclusion.

This is the most desperate situation. Human civilization will only be able to watch these robots develop in those star systems, and watch them continue to multiply and multiply until...all the star systems around them are occupied by robots. Human civilization will fall into a sea of ​​robots.

An infinitely replicating robot could eventually take over a star system. And robots developed in one star system can occupy 100,000 star systems. So... how big will the robots developed from one hundred thousand star systems eventually occupy?

This is a very simple mathematical question. Whether it is General Emerk or the staff, they all came up with the answer to this question in a very short period of time.

The final answer is... it won't be long before these robots will occupy the entire galaxy, and this trend is unstoppable, at least not by human civilization.

The bleak outlook predicted made the entire conference room fall into silence. Everyone frowned tightly, thinking hard about something. But no one could think of a way to deal with this situation. Xiao Yun couldn't think of a way to solve this problem. Not only that, Xiao Yun didn't think... the dilemma facing human civilization only ended here.

Don’t forget, all the above questions are based on the premise that “the genius is constantly upgrading the robot’s technology.” Xiao Yun does not think this premise is correct. Although he has not yet thought of a way to improve his strength without relying on the technological system or self-awareness, Xiao Yun still firmly believes that the genius must have achieved this.

And if the final fact is what Xiao Yun imagined... the situation facing human civilization will be even worse. By that time, human civilization will not only face robots that have spread throughout the galaxy. These robots will also evolve on their own and continuously improve their strength. Moreover, the process of improving their strength does not require anyone's intervention. .

This is a more extreme situation in comparison, and now, robots that are "unable to evolve themselves" have begun to make people feel desperate. If these robots can also evolve themselves... how bad will the situation be? The point?

Xiao Yun just thought silently and did not express his opinion. Because Xiao Yun knew that at this moment, he did not have any evidence or conjecture to prove that "robots can evolve themselves". But deep down in his heart, Xiao Yun has already determined this.

"Although I don't know what the relationship between that genius and me is, and why he challenged me, but I know...geniuses must be arrogant." Xiao Yun thought silently, "Just like me...because at the beginning I am also a genius."

"Since he is a genius...then he cannot release these robots until they are perfect. Only robots that can evolve themselves are perfect. Therefore, these robots must have the ability to evolve themselves."

"Independent self-awareness" is formed by the natural evolution of the universe. It is impossible for human civilization, or the creations of intelligent civilization similar to human civilization, to achieve this. Therefore, whether or not there is independent self-awareness does not affect the perfection of the robot. If that genius believes that a perfect robot can only be considered a perfect robot if it has "independent self-awareness", then he is no longer a genius, but a madman.

As an artificial intelligence expert, Xiao Yun can make this conclusion with great confidence.

It is impossible to allow these robots to have independent self-awareness, but it is possible to allow these robots to achieve self-evolution without relying on a scientific system without independent self-awareness. Although at this moment Xiao Yun still didn't know what this method was.

"Although I don't know who you are, I still choose to accept your challenge." Xiao Yun thought silently, "It's not just because you killed my lover and companions, it's not just because of human civilization... the most important thing is The thing is, I am also a genius. Therefore, I must find a way to destroy these robots." (To be continued~^~)
