Earth Era

After Xiao Yun expressed his judgment, the combat conference room immediately fell into silence.

General Emerk opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out. Another staff officer said: "Xiao Yun, how confident are you in your judgment?"

"At least 70% sure." Xiao Yun said eagerly, "You can imagine, if you were to create this value judgment system, and the specific indicators cannot be quantified, would you choose to use the enemy How to judge the value of a target based on your reaction? Just...for example, suppose you are a robber and you break into a rich man's house, but you don't know which item is the most valuable. So in In this case, would you choose the most closely protected thing, or would you choose the thing thrown casually in the corner?"

The staff officer thought about it carefully and finally said: "There is no doubt that I will choose the most closely protected item. But all this is based on the fact that I do not understand the specific value of the item. It would be different now. Given the situation, how do you determine that the Robot Group does not have a practical value judgment system, but relies on our reactions to make value judgments?"

"Two reasons." Xiao Yun said without hesitation, "First, I am an artificial intelligence expert. I have a deep understanding of the logic of judging the value of items by program codes. Although the judgment logic of that genius is different from mine. They must be the same, but I don’t think there will be much difference in the most fundamental things. A spaceship is a very complex thing, and it is difficult to judge its value using factors such as size, firepower, and power. Even if you can If you use these many parameters to set up a perfect algorithm, it must be very large, so it is not cost-effective. It is far less intuitive and simple than "relying on the enemy's reaction to judge the value." The second reason is... Even if the Robot Group does not rely on what I said to make value judgments, so what? Don’t forget that we are just making an attempt at this moment. After the attempt fails, we still have the opportunity to self-destruct. Since the worst The result is nothing more than self-destruction, so why don’t we give it a try?”

After hearing what Xiao Yun said, General Emerk's eyes immediately narrowed, and his voice became solemn: "Xiao Yun, tell me, how long will it take you to make this attempt? How long will it take to obtain the specific information? The data?"

"Five minutes, I only need five minutes!" Xiao Yun said loudly, "Five minutes is enough! And five minutes is not enough to delay our self-destruction process!"

"Okay! Then I'll give it a try as you said!" General Emerk said in a decisive tone, "The worst result is nothing more than self-destruction. In this case, what else do we have to be afraid of! So! Tell me how to do it specifically?"

"It's very simple! Command all other spaceships to give up all protection against the Earth-class spacecraft, and drive the Earth-class spacecraft to the front line of the battlefield, directly letting the Earth-class spacecraft participate in the war against the robot group! Also, before driving the Earth-class spacecraft to the front line, While going to the front line of the battlefield, control any spaceship to occupy the position of the Earth-class spacecraft, and at the same time, control all other spaceships to provide all-round protection for the spacecraft!"

After speaking out his idea, Xiao Yun suddenly realized something he had not thought of before. It was precisely this that made Xiao Yun's heart sink suddenly again, his mouth immediately closed, and the rest of the words were not spoken.

Xiao Yun looked at General Emerk and found that General Emerk's expression was a little distorted. Under the distortion was Xiao Yun's clearly detectable look of pain. Xiao Yun looked at the staff officers in the combat conference room and saw that they also had sad faces.

Obviously... General Emerk and his staff also thought of the point that Xiao Yun missed before.

The atmosphere in the war conference room once again became dull and strange. Everyone was aware of this, but at the moment, no one said it out loud.

There is an old saying that we do not suffer from poverty but from inequality. To give a simple example, there are ten pieces of cake distributed equally to ten people. Each person can get one piece of cake, and everyone will be in peace. However, if the distribution method is changed, two of the people are given three pieces of cake each. , the remaining eight people each have half a piece of cake, then there is a high chance that these ten people will have a dispute. If you give the eight people who only get half a piece of pie a choice, that is: if you don’t want the half piece of pie, the two people can’t get three pieces of pie, then... there is a high chance that these eight people will choose If you gain nothing yourself, you want others to gain nothing.

From an absolutely rational point of view, the wisest choice is undoubtedly to take this half piece of cake in your own hands, because this realizes the appreciation of your own interests. After all, you have gained benefits, but the human heart is a kind of thing that is difficult to describe. Don’t be afraid of comparing things. Compared with the three pieces of cake obtained by others, the half piece of pie you get will not only fail to bring you psychological comfort, but will create a psychological gap, and this psychological gap is enough to obliterate the half piece of pie. The growth of real benefits brought by the bread.

Returning to the current situation... The plan mentioned by Xiao Yun is undoubtedly worth a try. Anyway, even if the attempt fails, it will just self-destruct at worst. This will not cause any loss to oneself, but if it succeeds, the Earth-class spacecraft and part of it will The spacecraft can escape and achieve positive gains in overall interests.

But don't forget that the fleet is not a complete whole, it is composed of many smaller individuals. Xiao Yun's plan will inevitably require a part of the spacecraft to take the initiative to make sacrifices and take the initiative to take on the task of attracting the attention of the robots. This part of the spacecraft is destined to be destroyed, and they have no reason to survive.

To put it more simply, everyone was going to die, without exception, everyone was the same, so it didn’t matter, but now... some spaceships can get a 50% chance of survival, while the remaining spaceships We still have to maintain a zero percent chance of survival... So, why?

Why can you escape, but we have to die? This isn't fair. It is fairest if everyone dies.

This is a big question. It was with this in mind that General Emerk, the combat staff, and Xiao Yun fell silent. Because at this moment, these people in the combat conference room have to make the most difficult choice. This decision will determine which people and which spaceships will have a chance to live, and which people and which spaceships must die.

Time is slipping away bit by bit, and every second that passes is extremely precious. If it continues to be delayed, it is likely that there will be no time to even try it. By that time, the fleet of human civilization will Will... be completely destroyed.

Only General Emerk can make this decision, because General Emerk is the supreme commander of this fleet. Therefore, at this moment, everyone, whether it was the combat staff or Xiao Yun, turned their attention to General Emerk.

In his hundreds of years of military career, General Emmerk did not know how many times he had made decisions. Any one of those orders might be related to the life or death of hundreds of thousands of people. Among those decisions, Emmerk General Merck has never hesitated. After all, in a war, there are no immortals. But now, General Merck hesitated.

Because... in this selection, the selected spaceships are not going to carry out any extremely risky or extremely dangerous missions - even in the most dangerous missions, there is still a chance of survival, but this time it is different. One is 100% death. Under the siege of the robot army, those selected people and spaceships will not have the slightest chance of survival.

This wasn't the only thing that made General Emerk hesitate. General Emerk knows that no matter how he chooses, the Earth-class spacecraft will definitely not be chosen, because the Earth-class spacecraft has the highest value. Even in the entire human civilization, there are only three Earth-class spaceships. Whether it is from a military perspective Neither politically nor politically, the Earth-class spacecraft cannot afford to lose anything.

And... General Emerk is on the Earth-class spacecraft. Saving the Earth-class spacecraft is equivalent to saving General Emerk himself.

If he had a choice, General Emerk hoped that he was on another spacecraft. In that case, General Emerk could issue the order to save the Earth-class spaceship without any psychological barriers, and at the same time let the spacecraft he was on be generous. Go to death. But now the situation is just the other way around, so after issuing this order, General Emerk will definitely bear the label of "sacrifice his subordinates to save his own life". And this hat is more unbearable for General Emerk than killing him.

No one wants to bear this hat. At the same time, everyone in the combat conference room can escape, except General Emerk. Because General Emerk is the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

Time is still passing by bit by bit, and the atmosphere in the combat conference room is still dull and depressing. No one spoke, all eyes were fixed on General Emerk.

General Emerk suddenly laughed, and his voice began to become calm and soft: "This responsibility is always my responsibility. As a commander, I should not use my own emotions as the basis for command... can become the basis Yes, there is and only one, and that is reason.”

"Then...convey my order. All spaceships will be re-formed as follows. The new formation will have the "Blue Mountain" spacecraft as the core, and all remaining spaceships must fully protect the "Blue Mountain" spacecraft..." (Unfinished) To be continued~^~)
