Earth Era

"Based on the information obtained from the battle between you and the robot group, we can at least confirm the following points. First, the robot group has some powerful attack method with unknown principles. This attack method can pass through several A billion robots gather to activate, and each activation results in the death of these robots."

"Second, the robot group has the ability to evolve itself, and its ability to evolve depends on the technology of our human civilization."

"Third, the robot group has successfully developed. It is very likely that it has spread out in the galaxy, occupied a large number of star systems, and is undergoing a crazy and efficient self-replication process."

"General Emerk, Xiao Yun, do you confirm the correctness of the above three points?"

A meeting involving real high-level civilized officials is being held in the government conference room. The heads of civilization, heads of various departments, and scientists from various disciplines all participated in this meeting. At this moment, the civilized head of state asked this question to General Emerk and Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun nodded, and then said: "Führer, I confirm the correctness of the above points."

There was a brief discussion in the conference room. After a while, the discussion stopped, and a scientist stood up and said to Xiao Yun: "If the correctness of the above three points is confirmed, then we will face a very difficult situation. This situation is... how should we go about it? Facing the robot group?"

"Sooner or later, the robot group will have full contact with our civilization. Sooner or later, the star systems we occupy, and even our solar system, will be attacked by robots. This is inevitable, but how do we deal with these robots? What? First of all, in order to ensure the interests of our civilization and protect our resources and people, it is inevitable for us to go to war with the robot group. However... the robot group uses the technological system of our human civilization as the source of evolution. If we go to war with the robot group, Our technology will inevitably be learned by the robot group, which will indirectly lead to the robot group's technological improvement and strength growth. From this aspect, we cannot go to war with robots."

This is indeed the most difficult problem. Xiao Yun had thought about this problem for a long time, but Xiao Yun didn't think of any way to solve it. This problem is like a noose around the neck of human civilization, putting human civilization in a dilemma.

If you don’t start a war with robots, the robots will occupy the star system of human civilization. If you start a war with robots, the robots will learn the technology of human civilization, and then turn against human civilization. Human civilization will still be unable to defend its own resources and star systems, then... …what to do?

The scientist's words nakedly presented this cruelest reality to a group of high-level civilization officials. The conference room fell into silence once again, and the head of state also thought about this problem for a long time, but it was obvious that no one had come up with a solution to this problem.

In the end, it was the head of state who broke the silence: "Do you have any opinions on this issue? You can say it and we can all share it."

General Emerk said: "The head of state, and all the gentlemen and ladies here, I would like to ask you to clearly recognize the reality, that is... the matter of the robot group can no longer be solved through military means. Our human civilization depends on Proud military power, whether it is an Earth-class spaceship that can be called a war fortress, or a huge fleet that is said to be able to sweep across a thousand light-years of space, or our engineering power, our war reserve force... all these things are facing us. They are all useless against the robot group."

This is a very cruel thing. It is not that human civilization has not considered the possibility of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations until now. In fact, maintaining such a large armament system and deliberately allowing the existence of interstellar pirates-if necessary, military power can Pirates have been exterminated a thousand times, ten thousand times, but the government has not done this - all of them are to prepare for alien civilizations that may be encountered one day: maintaining a huge armament system is to prepare for war needs. The purpose of allowing interstellar pirates to exist is for military training, so that the soldiers will not be immersed in comfort for a long time and lose their combat effectiveness. However, now human civilization has encountered an almost fatal threat. The huge armament system of human civilization... is completely useless?

No matter who you are, you will find this conclusion a little difficult to accept, but everyone knows that this conclusion is very correct. That's right, when facing a robot group, the military power that human civilization is proud of... is completely useless.

Can human civilization eliminate robot groups through military means? The answer is no. Everyone can clearly realize that human civilization is completely powerless in the face of the robot army that may have spread to tens of thousands or even more star systems, because no matter how many combat spaceships there are, it is absolutely It cannot support the demand for tens of thousands or more star battlefields at the same time, and... as long as there is one robot left, it will multiply again in a short period of time to an astronomical number.

There is no essential difference between wiping out a trillion robots and wiping out one robot, because robot groups don’t care about numbers. And...does human civilization have the ability to eliminate all robots at the same time? The answer is no, so military power is meaningless when facing a robot group.

"So... do you have any thoughts on this?" the head of state asked General Emerk.

General Emerk was silent at first, and then slowly said after a moment: "I just want you to know that when facing the robot group, our military is not the main force in the war. We can only play a supporting role at most."

"So...who is the main force?"

"The main force is Xiao Yun, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and all the scientists here." General Emerk raised his head and said very firmly: "Our military cannot destroy all robots, but science can."

The head of state turned his attention to Xiao Yun: "Xiao Yun, everyone here knows your special identity. There is no need to hide your affairs here. So tell me, do you have any ideas on how to eliminate the robot group?"

"I don't have any specific ideas yet." Xiao Yun shook his head, "Although it is another me, I have to admit now that at least in terms of robots, my understanding is not as good as his. But... although I don’t have any specific ideas, but I have a few suggestions.”

"You can tell me." The head of state nodded.

"First, shrink the position." Xiao Yun raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the head of state, "Abandon all star systems rated below S level, and move all the population, resources, and wealth back to the closest place to the solar system. The most important star systems are here, and we will try our best to defend these star systems, and at the same time try to delay the large-scale battle with the robot group."

"Second...concentrate the power of all civilizations, launch comprehensive war preparations, and raise the defense of these star systems to the highest level. Note that it is only for defense. We do not need to launch an active attack against the robot group for the purpose of killing. As long as If we can defend these star systems, we will achieve our goal."

"Third, make every effort to build large-scale transportation and manned spacecraft, and be prepared to abandon the solar system and start interstellar wandering when necessary." Xiao Yun looked directly into the eyes of the head of state and said word by word: "We can't defeat the robot group. , but we can escape."

There was commotion in the conference room again. Because the three points mentioned by Xiao Yun are too shocking. Human civilization seemed to be prosperous and dynamic one moment, but at this moment it is about to abandon its homeland and become a "fleet civilization" wandering in the galaxy and universe. This transformation The gap is too huge and people simply cannot accept such a thing.

"You still can't understand the horror of the robot group." Xiao Yun said, "That is an endless ocean of robots... Our fleet fell into the ocean of robots like that, and was almost annihilated. I hope As you can understand, the robot group is the most powerful enemy our civilization has encountered since its emergence. Facing such an enemy, our civilization has no advantage at all. Being able to become a fleet civilization wandering in the galaxy universe, It’s better than civilization dying.”

The commotion subsided after a moment, and the head of state once again said to Xiao Yun: "I can understand the three points you raised, but I still have a question, and that is... I don't seem to find destruction in your statement. Robot Group’s plan.”

"This is the plan I proposed." Xiao Yun said, "I hope the government can set up an agency specifically to study the weaknesses of robots. The three points I proposed are all to buy time for the work of this agency. The agency's The progress of the work will determine the life or death of our civilization. If within the time period we have won, this agency finds a way to destroy all robot groups, then our civilization is saved. If not, then our civilization is destroyed. The thing is So Easy."

Xiao Yun presented the logic of this matter to the audience in the simplest and most direct way. Xiao Yun didn't care about the huge psychological impact this incident would have on everyone, because Xiao Yun knew that human civilization would have to accept this sooner or later.

The head of state was silent, and then said: "I agree." (To be continued ~^~)
