Earth Era

Although they disappeared from Xiao Yun's sight, it did not mean that Xiao Yun could not find them. Before releasing them, the staff of the Scientific Affairs Committee installed extremely sensitive positioning instruments on them. No matter where they went, as long as they were still on Pluto, their positions would be among the instruments. displayed on.

Not only that, Xiao Yun has also installed a complex and complete monitoring system on the robots. Everything that happens in their bodies will form complete data and be sent to the monitoring personnel for analysis by scientists.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was in the spaceship, silently watching the display screen. There are twenty red dots on the display screen, and each red dot represents an infant robot.

The growth stages of robots are divided into juvenile and adult. The size and mass of juvenile robots are much smaller than that of adult robots. Except for some necessary functional equipment, they do not have any additional functions, no flying ability, and no attack ability. Defense is extremely low.

This situation is determined by the restriction of maternal reproduction. After all, the space in the mother body is limited, and it is impossible to make them perfectly inside the body. We can only create a child body with the necessary functions first, and then let the child body find supplies by itself, grow slowly by itself, and finally evolve. An adult robot with the same functions as its parent.

The twenty red dots on the monitor, representing twenty robots, reunited after a period of dispersion. At this time, a series of data was sent from the monitor installed on the robot to the spacecraft, and was displayed on another display screen. Those data represent the judgment of the current environment by the robot's internal core code program, the planning of future development routes, and the exchange of information between each other. Xiao Yun understood the meaning of these codes after just one glance. After all, in the entire human civilization, no one has a deeper understanding of robots than Xiao Yun.

"Record it." Xiao Yun said to the staff around him, "The program judgment is as follows: the temperature is extremely low, the environment is extremely harsh, and the child's ability does not have the ability to directly obtain supplies under the current environment."

"Twenty sub-bodies have unanimously come to this conclusion. They are communicating. Well, the sub-bodies began to conduct self-examination on themselves and comprehensively evaluated their own comprehensive performance. The performance score of No. 1 sub-body was eighty-six points, and the performance score of No. 2 sub-bodies was 86 points. Sub-body No. 3 has a score of sixty-five points, Sub-body No. 3 has a score of ninety-six points, Sub-body No. 4... Among the twenty sub-bodies, Sub-body No. 3 has the highest score, and Sub-body No. 17 has the lowest score."

"The program judgment is as follows: The five sub-bodies with the lowest score choose to sacrifice themselves and use their own resources to support the growth of the other fifteen sub-bodies. The prediction is as follows: After sacrificing the five sub-bodies, the remaining fifteen sub-bodies will grow enough to survive in the current environment. A state of survival.”

So this picture was displayed on the display screen. Xiao Yun saw the robots gathered together divided into two camps. The five sub-bodies with the lowest score chose to cut off their own energy supply, and the remaining fifteen sub-bodies surged up to completely disintegrate these five sub-bodies. . Their actions may seem chaotic, but Xiao Yun knows that every one of their movements is extremely precise. Different robots will never look at the same part at the same time. Which sub-body gets which part has already been determined before. It was determined through communication and calculation.

Wutai chose to sacrifice himself, and instantly all that was left was a pile of wreckage. The wreckage was parts that had been judged by the program to have no use value. Any useful parts and materials were collected by the remaining fifteen sub-bodies. After obtaining the necessary supplies, the internal integrated factory began to work. With the help of extremely advanced overall manufacturing technology, the parts were recast, and various materials were collected in categories, and then manufactured into shapes according to their respective needs. parts and then installed on their bodies. This series of actions only took less than an hour.

"Record: The robot daughter has acquired the ability to survive on the surface of Pluto."

After completing an evolution, the robots still did not disperse and still chose to act collectively. Xiao Yun knew that there was an iron mine and a rare earth mine not far from the robot. Both of these minerals were small mineral deposits and had no mining value for humans, but it was different for robots. .

Sure enough, these two minerals did not escape the detection of the robots. They discovered this place about ten hours later, and then collectively started mining operations. With the support of their internal universal mineral collectors, the robots began to eat continuously. A large amount of minerals mixed with impurities are eaten into their mouths, and then the task of separating elements is completed in the body. Useful minerals are retained and stored in the storage room, and the impurities are excreted from the body.

"Record: The robots have begun their first step in the journey of reproduction."

The interstellar environment is always very harsh, especially on remote planets like Pluto. It is always easy for various accidents to happen on such a planet. During the continuous mining of iron ore and rare earth ores, two robots experienced internal circuit and program disorders due to the influence of interstellar rays, and they went "crazy". But less than ten seconds after they went crazy, the overall judgment program cut off their energy supply and broadcast relevant intelligence information to the remaining thirteen robots. So the remaining thirteen robots temporarily gave up their mineral mining tasks, gathered in front of the two dead robots, and repeated the previous process of decomposing the five sub-bodies, and also decomposed the two robots.

The decomposition of these two robots brought another batch of usable materials to the remaining robots. The mining of iron ore and rare earth ores was basically completed, so the robots left here and started looking for new minerals again.

The location where the robot was released was specially calculated, and Xiao Yun specifically chose a place with various minerals not far away. So not long after, the robots found a new mine, collected copper ore and aluminum ore here, and then headed to the next location...

Whenever the collected materials reach a certain amount, the action of improving themselves will begin. They will create new parts to install on their bodies. If the materials are not enough, they will look for new materials. If the materials are enough, they will make parts. ...over and over again. Under this situation, the robots' bodies began to grow stronger and their various functions became more and more perfect.

"Record: They already have the ability to fly."

With the ability to fly, the speed at which robots collect materials has been greatly accelerated, because they no longer have to waste time on traveling and searching - an area that previously took more than ten days to explore can now be explored with the ability to fly. After that, it may only take an hour to complete. The speed of robots' self-improvement has once again begun to accelerate greatly.

During this process, three more robots "died", and no exception, their remains were still decomposed by other companions. So far, only ten of the twenty sub-body robots initially released have remained.

But these ten robots have grown to an almost semi-perfect state. Their survivability has been greatly improved, their mobility has been greatly improved, and their manufacturing capabilities have been greatly improved. Xiao Yun knew that if there were no major accidents, the robot children would no longer die due to the natural environment.

So far, a month has passed. In just this month, the robot completed its evolutionary mission from surface activities to near-Earth space activities.

After the robot body was further improved, the robot began to develop from the sky to the underground. There are very few mineable minerals on the surface, and a large number of minerals with extremely high mining value are hidden underground. So the robot perfected its ability to penetrate the earth and began to operate under the surface of Pluto.

"Record: The robot has begun to have offensive capabilities."

Civilian technology and military technology are always the same, such as ground drilling equipment, collection equipment, etc., which can be very suitable offensive equipment with a little modification. In fact, robots have been able to perfect offensive capabilities a long time ago, but perhaps due to the different degrees of importance, robots have not evolved offensive capabilities until now.

The current offensive capabilities of robots are still very weak. They only have process attack capabilities and do not have long-range attack capabilities. But this is always a process of qualitative change, and it is worth recording by Xiao Yun.

With constant improvement, they finally grew into adult robot status. After growing into adult robots, a very important task is placed in front of them, and that is...reproduction.

Under the current technological level of robots, they have been perfected to the extreme. When they were originally manufactured, Xiao Yun only set their technological level to the extent that they could only carry out activities in near-Earth space, and the evolution of technology is not one thing. It is a task that can be completed in a short period of time. Therefore, there is only one task now, which is to reproduce, to reproduce in large quantities and to reproduce at all costs.

The robots once again started the process of mineral collection. The difference is that this time the mineral collection is not to improve themselves, but to reserve the materials needed to build the sub-body. This was not too difficult, so just half a month after they were perfected into adult robots, the first child robot was born. It will continue the life course of its mother, continue to perfect itself, and then start to reproduce...

"Record, the birth of the first child." (To be continued ~^~)
