Earth Era

"Xiao Yun, don't underestimate the wisdom of our military personnel." General Emerk gently patted Xiao Yun's shoulder and sighed: "Although the reasoning process is different from yours, the conclusion we have reached It’s basically the same.”

"Unlike you, you inferred this conclusion just through naked eye observation, but we inferred this result with the support of a large amount of data. We also believe that the robot group does not even have the most basic combat skills. It was a strange thing to have, and we all thought it was a trap deliberately designed to lure us into it, but after discussing it with my staff, we decided to move forward."

"Why do you still want to break in even though you know it's a trap?" Xiao Yun continued to ask in disbelief.

General Emerk glanced at Xiao Yun lightly, and then said: "You are too anxious now. Your thoughts have been affected by this anxiety, so you can't see some things clearly. Xiao Yun, calm down. , I think after you calm down, you can easily understand why I chose to move forward even though I knew it was a trap."

Xiao Yun was startled, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down with General Emerk's words. After his mind returned to clarity, just a moment later, Xiao Yun sighed and smiled helplessly.

"Indeed, we really need to move on..." Xiao Yun whispered, "The robot group is plotting against us, and we...are we not plotting against the robot group?"

Seeing that Xiao Yun understood, General Emerk patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, then turned around and continued to deal with the complicated military affairs. Xiao Yun still stood here with a sense of loss, looking at the busy staff officers in the combat command room, looking at General Emerk who still looked determined, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

This time when they came to the Lager 728 galaxy, the main task of the fleet was to execute the genius assassination plan. Before arriving in the Lager 728 galaxy, General Emerk, the staff team, and Xiao Yun had discussed everything together. Everyone, including Xiao Yun, believed that if that genius really existed, it would be worth it even if the entire fleet was destroyed in exchange for the death of that genius.

So...at this moment, even if he knew that this was a trap, even if he knew that the robot group was luring the enemy deeper, General Emerk still chose to move forward without hesitation. Because... this is the only opportunity to assassinate a genius. If this opportunity is missed, the fleet of human civilization will be unable to do anything to that genius.

It is precisely because the robot group deliberately lured the enemy deeper and deliberately set up this trap that the human civilization fleet was able to penetrate so deep into the Lager 728 galaxy and get so close to the innermost planet. If the robots started from the beginning Just use all the strength, even use the hidden back-up plan, can the fleet of human civilization penetrate so far?

Again, the robot group is plotting against the human civilization fleet, and General Emerk and the staff team are plotting against the robot team. The robot group tried to lure the enemy deep and annihilate the fleet of human civilization. The fleet of human civilization then used the trick to get the opportunity to assassinate the genius at the cost of stepping into the trap. General Emerk and the staff team did not care whether the fleet would be annihilated. The only thing they cared about was the life or death of the genius. And just as General Emerk said at the time, "The destruction of our fleet is exchanged for the death of that genius, and the robot group has no chance to evolve, in order to gain a bargaining chip for victory for our human civilization... This is worth it."

That's why Xiao Yun felt sad, because Xiao Yun knew that everyone in the combat conference room had been prepared to leave their lives here before making the decision to move on.

This is indeed a group of people who are most worthy of Xiao Yun's respect. It is precisely because of the existence of these people that human civilization can continue to this day. At this time, Xiao Yun naturally did not care about his own life. Since he rejected General Emerk's proposal to send him back to the solar system, he should be mentally prepared to die together. Even Xiao Yun himself had nothing to say about this matter. It's just that... Xiao Yun still has a feeling in his heart that he seems to have forgotten something.

Xiao Yun stood here like a wooden stake, thinking hard. Logistics personnel shuttled back and forth, staff members working nervously, the voices of military intelligence reports coming and going in the command hall, and the sonorous and powerful voice of General Emerk issuing orders could not distract Xiao Yun's mind. Xiao Yun seemed to have entered an ethereal state. In this state, Xiao Yun's mind was running at an unprecedented high speed.

Xiao Yun thought about it for several minutes before he was shocked and came back to his senses from his contemplation. At this moment, Xiao Yun had thought things through completely. The terrifying inferences swirling in Xiao Yun's mind were like the most terrifying demons in the depths of hell, making Xiao Yun break out in cold sweat at this moment. .

Xiao Yun looked at the three-dimensional diagram of the battlefield and the dense army of robots, his eyes full of fear, and even Xiao Yun's body began to tremble slightly. Xiao Yun wanted to take steps, but felt that his body was not under his control at all. Xiao Yun managed to take a step, then his body swayed and he almost fell down.

Xiao Yun held on to the table next to him and reluctantly called out: "General Emerk..."

The sound seemed to be squeezed out of the throat.

General Emerk turned around, glanced at Xiao Yun, who was trembling all over, and frowned slightly. General Emerk came over, supported Xiao Yun, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

"I... we must retreat immediately, immediately..." Xiao Yun said tremblingly, "Hurry, it will be too late if it is later, go quickly, go quickly..."

General Emerk frowned and said: "Xiao Yun, in my impression, you are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. You know very well that we have no retreat now. In order to give our civilization a chance, we must Keep going until you kill the genius."

The anxiety in Xiao Yun's heart was like a flame, and it even made Xiao Yun feel that his body was burning: "That genius... doesn't exist. We were fooled, we were all fooled, if we continue to move forward, we Not only will they fail to give our civilization a chance, but it will push our civilization into the abyss of eternal destruction... The intention of those robots is not just to destroy us all, their main intention is to use our corpses as nourishment to realize themselves The evolution..."

Although he still didn't understand Xiao Yun's words, General Emerk sensed the seriousness of the matter from Xiao Yun's anxiety. General Emerk casually pulled over a chair, then helped Xiao Yun sit down, and ordered a support staff member to bring a glass of water.

Xiao Yun drank the water in the cup in one breath, but coughed violently because he drank too fast. General Emerk stood quietly in front of Xiao Yun, waiting for Xiao Yun to give a reasonable explanation for his previous words.

Xiao Yun tried his best to calm down, and then said very fast: "I have told you before about my several speculations about robots that "do not need a scientific system or self-awareness" to achieve self-evolution mode. do you remember?"

"Of course I remember." General Emerk said, "But there are irreparable loopholes in those speculations. Why, now have you thought of the fundamental rule that runs through science?"

Among Xiao Yun's previous speculations, this rule that "runs through science" is the most important point. Without this rule, robots would not be able to eliminate meaningless attempts at evolution, and they would not be able to achieve true meaning. exhaustive evolution.

It was precisely because Xiao Yun had never made a breakthrough in his work that General Emerk insisted on executing the plan to assassinate the genius. But now... Xiao Yun has found this fundamental rule that "runs through the beginning of science". If this rule "runs through the beginning of science" really exists, then the genius has no meaning of existence, and the plan to assassinate the genius will be It makes even less sense.

"Yes, I know what this fundamental rule is." Xiao Yun's voice still trembled slightly, but he could finally speak normally, "That genius must have thought of this fundamental rule too. Rules, and he must have applied this fundamental rule to the robot group. The evolution of the robot group does not require that genius. Regardless of whether the genius exists or not, the robot group can continue to evolve itself, so... …Our plan to assassinate the genius was wrong from the beginning, and there was no need for us to execute this plan.”

"Tell me, what is that fundamental rule, and why it allows robots to achieve self-evolution without relying on anyone." General Emerk stared at Xiao Yun closely, his voice full of solemnity.

"This fundamental rule is... to use the scientific development system of truly intelligent life as a reference to eliminate meaningless evolutionary attempts in exhaustive evolution." Xiao Yun said quietly, "To put it simply... suppose that robots I want to make a pistol, but because there are too many possibilities, no matter how many robots there are or how many attempts they make, it is impossible to make a pistol. But what if the robot obtains a sample of a pistol at this time?"

"The information obtained from the sample of this pistol... is enough for the robots to eliminate most of the meaningless evolution attempts and leave only meaningful evolution attempts. In this way, exhaustive evolution will Become a feasible evolutionary plan..." (To be continued~^~)
