Earth Era

Now is not the time to play with the romance between a daughter and a daughter, and the heroic and passionate drama. War is a very cruel thing. Perhaps this kind of emotion is needed when fighting on the front line, but as a decision-maker of a legion, it is the most basic quality to eliminate the interference of emotions on decision-making.

The reality is that Xiao Yun's stay here will not have any impact on the specific war, but will bring many dangers to himself, and Xiao Yun's special identity determines that he cannot bear such risks. So it is wisest to leave here at this time and return to the safest place in the solar system.

Xiao Yun himself knows this, so Xiao Yun does not intend to stay here for some "hypocritical" reasons such as feelings. That's totally unnecessary. Xiao Yun does have his own reasons for wanting to stay here.

"In other words, as long as I can find evidence or conjecture to verify that robots have the ability to evolve themselves, our plan will change, right?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Of course." General Emerk said, "The fact is obvious. If these robots can evolve on their own, then the existence of that genius will not have an impact on the overall situation, and there is no need for us to assassinate him. .”

"Xiao Yun, do you really think so?" said a staff officer, "There is no need for a scientific system and no independent self-awareness. Under the constraints of these two premises, how can those robots have the ability to evolve themselves? Ability? I think you'd better not waste energy and time here, this is impossible, and all the energy you spend on this will prove to be in vain. "

Xiao Yun ignored the staff officer's statement, but looked at General Emerk firmly: "Please believe me, I can find a way to prove this. I will prove that... our current strategic arrangement is wrong. , we shouldn’t assassinate that genius, it will not have any other use besides causing us additional damage.”

General Emmerk asked, "How much time do you need?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I don't know. But I know... I can definitely come up with this method. That genius can do this, there is no reason why I can't do it."

Xiao Yun turned around, looked at everyone in the conference room, and said word by word: "That guy killed my lover, killed my companions, and caused serious damage to our human civilization. Threat. No matter in every aspect, he is my life and death enemy. So... I decided to accept his challenge to me. And to crack his method of making "robots realize self-evolution" is what I will do after accepting the challenge. The first thing.”

General Emerk sighed, and Xiao Yun continued: "So, I must stay in the fleet. Because if I leave the fleet, even if I find a way to prove this, I will not be able to do it quickly. I will pass on my thoughts to you, but in that case, our fleet may suffer many unnecessary casualties."

"This is the reason why I want to stay in the fleet, General Emerk, what do you think?"

General Emerk looked serious and did not speak for a long time. After a while, General Emerk said: "Although I don't know whether it is right or wrong to agree to let you stay... Although it is very likely that this key person like you will die in the war... But, I still agree to you. .Okay, Xiao Yun, you can stay here."

Xiao Yun nodded and sat down, and General Emerk continued: "Then what we have to discuss next is which star system the genius will choose to go to."

The robot group can divide into hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of units to occupy many star systems respectively, but the genius only has one person or a small group, and it is impossible for them to disperse. And obviously, only by determining where they are can further assassination plans be launched.

"I think it would be better to change this question to "Which star system is the main target of the robot group?" Because obviously, that genius will definitely choose to be with most robots. Regardless of his own safety, or the safety of the robots Considering the convenience of upgrading technology, he will choose to do so," said a staff officer.

This staff officer's statement was approved by most people, and even Xiao Yun had to admit that if that genius really existed, his choice would indeed be the most reasonable.

General Emerk also chose to agree with this statement: "Then let's discuss which star system the robot group's main target is."

The staff officer continued: "This problem can be broken down into two parts. First, the distance between the target star system and the Raqqa galaxy. Second, the resource abundance of the target star system. The closer the distance, the easier it is to reach. The more resources there are, the more robot copies can be made. That genius will definitely consider this issue from these two aspects."

General Emerk operated the instrument in front of him, and a three-dimensional projection of the starry sky appeared in front of everyone, which marked all the star systems within ten light years around the Raqqa Galaxy: " I think everyone has no objection to these two premises, so the candidate targets are as follows..."

"The Eridanus A galaxy is 5.8 light years away from the Laca galaxy. It is the closest star to the Laca galaxy. The Cygnus T galaxy is 6.3 light years away from the Laca galaxy. The Lago 728 galaxy is at a distance of The Ka galaxy is 8.9 light years away, the Wolf galaxy is 377... Among these candidate target galaxies, which one do you think it will be?"

A combat staff officer said: "I think the genius's voyage destination is Eridani A. Eridani A is the closest to the Raqqa galaxy. The Raqqa galaxy has been mined by them. So, what is the best way to choose the nearest star to continue development? A very reasonable choice.”

"I also think it's Eridani A." Another staff officer said, "Eridani A is 5.8 light years away from the Laca galaxy. Even if the sailing speed of those infinite replicating robots is only 5,000 kilometers per second, they can only It will take about three hundred and fifty years to sail to the destination. And if their speed can reach twice the speed of light as ours, it will only take them 2.9 years to arrive."

For robots, being able to travel between stars does not mean they have the ability to travel faster than light. Obviously, robots are different from humans. For humans, it is a long time that cannot be crossed, but for robots, it is meaningless. As long as their fuel reserves and mechanical makeup can support them for such a long time. Because as long as the robot's body is not damaged, their lifespan can be said to be unlimited, but humans cannot do this.

If that genius really existed, he would definitely be limited by his lifespan. Although the lifespan limit can be bypassed through hibernation - using hundreds of years of hibernation to conduct an interstellar voyage is meaningless for a civilization, but it is meaningful for individuals.

Eridani A is a more distant star system than the Laca Galaxy. Before this incident, two unmanned probes launched by human civilization had arrived in the Raqqa galaxy, while Eridanus A had not been reached by any human civilization creation.

However, through astronomical observation methods, human civilization still has some understanding of Eridanus A. The main star of Eridani A is a yellow dwarf star slightly larger than the sun, and there is only one confirmed planet, which is a gas giant planet even larger than Jupiter.

Eridani A is a very possible destination, but another staff officer raised objections: "I don't think the robots' navigation destination will be Eridani A. Because there is only one planet in the Eridani A galaxy. And this planet is still a gas giant planet, not a rocky planet. Obviously, the materials that can be used by robots on a gas giant planet are much less than those on a rocky planet. So... I think the robots The destination of the voyage will be the Lago 728 system. Although the Lago 728 system is three light years farther than Eridanus A, there are three rocky planets in the Lago 728 system, and there is also a star with many celestial bodies. The asteroid belt. I believe that the rich materials there will be a huge attraction for that genius."

"So... what we are facing now becomes the question of 'how will that genius choose between sailing time and sufficient supplies?'" General Emerk said, "And this problem can be simplified to, if their If the sailing speed is fast enough, even faster than the speed of light, they will basically choose the Lago 728 galaxy, because the Lago 728 galaxy is three light years farther than the Eridanus A galaxy. In the face of super-light sailing methods, Basically nothing. And if they are unable to travel at super-light speeds, or are still limited to 20% of the speed of light or less, they will choose the Eridanus A galaxy."

"So...who can make some inferences about the robot's sailing speed?" General Emerk looked at the staff in the conference room and asked this question.

Xiao Yun said silently: "I don't think this is a problem. Facing a genius who can create infinitely replicating robots... I think super-light speed navigation is really nothing to him. I think their voyage The destination is the Lage 728 galaxy.”

"I agree with this statement." said a staff officer. "We have no reason to underestimate the wisdom of a genius."

All other staff members remained silent at this time. General Emerk sighed, and then said: "For the time being, let's think it is the Lage 728 galaxy." (To be continued ~^~)
