Earth Era

When these first batch of robots grew to adulthood, the robot's terrifying reproductive ability was fully demonstrated. The various abilities of adult robots have reached their peak stage. For them, collecting minerals is just a simple matter. Therefore, less than fifteen days after they became adults, the first baby robot was born.

"The growth cycle of robots is less than one year, and this is still under the condition that they know nothing about the environment and need to explore. The growth rate of baby robots born subsequently will be greatly accelerated, because their parent robots have already stored various minerals in It has been found out, and the adult robots will also provide some necessary help to the baby robots so that they can grow faster. So... from now on, the robot growth cycle will be shortened to three months. After three months, the baby robots will The robots will then reach adulthood and can breed offspring at a rate of one every half month."

"Under this terrifying reproduction rate, the number of robots will increase exponentially. In a few years, the entire Pluto will be covered by robots."

"Let them reproduce freely here, and don't disturb them for the time being. When they multiply to cover the entire Pluto, I will come back to see them."

After observing the robot here for nearly a year, Xiao Yun and his team left Pluto and returned to Earth again. There are three different project teams here on Earth conducting intensive research. They have previously submitted relevant planning documents, which were reviewed by Xiao Yun and submitted to the Head of State's office, and were approved by the Head of State. The difference is that the first group and the second group still remain in the Scientific Affairs Committee, and the third one, the interstellar escape project group, is placed under the jurisdiction of the Escape Affairs Committee, because as Zheng Fanghai proposed, The idea of ​​using the power of super alien civilization to deal with infinite replicating robots is closely related to the matters prepared by the Escape Committee.

Xiao Yun will personally participate in the work of the first two groups, namely the virus attack research group and the evolutionary trap research group, and conduct research together with many scientific researchers.

Specific transactional work is always tedious and boring. It is simple to come up with an idea, but it is not easy to realize this idea in detail. But the fact is quite ironic, that is, compared with the specific work that is tedious and long and requires huge manpower and material resources, it is actually "proposing an idea" that seems very simple and can be done in just a few words with a pat on the head. More difficult and more precious.

Because for human civilization with huge scientific research power, although specific routine work is cumbersome and boring, as long as you calm down and do it step by step, you can definitely get it done. At most, it will only take more time, or more time. It's just a waste of resources, but "proposing an idea" is not that simple. It has no fixed procedures and no rules. It is as ethereal as the clouds in the sky. Sometimes, maybe you can catch it with a nap in an afternoon, or maybe... Countless people are thinking hard about Ten Thousand I haven't been able to find it for years.

So...the person who proposes the idea is a genius, and the person who learns and realizes the idea can only be regarded as a talent.

Dink and Xiao Muhong are both geniuses, so they can come up with ideas such as virus attacks and evolutionary traps. However, Xiao Yun has never made any achievements in these aspects and has never been able to come up with his own plan that is different from others. So now, although Xiao Yun assumes the responsibility of the head of the Scientific Affairs Committee and is considered a true high-level person in human civilization, the work that Xiao Yun is engaged in is no different from that of an ordinary staff member.

Xiao Yun also swims in the ocean of code all day long, doing boring work all day long that even a new intern can do. But Xiao Yun did not show any reluctance. Xiao Yun, like any staff member of the Scientific Affairs Committee, works when he needs to work and rests when he needs to rest. There are even times when you’re still working when it’s time to take a break.

Xiao Yun seemed to be addicted to this job with little technical content, and seemed to put all his mind and energy into this matter.

The head of state once expressed great concern about this, and even called Xiao Yun to his office specifically to ask Xiao Yun what he thought. Obviously, the head of state believes that Xiao Yun should be freed from tedious routine work to show greater value. Only in this way can he match Xiao Yun's special identity. Only in this way can Xiao Yun hope to truly defeat his other self. .

But Xiao Yun just smiled and rejected the head of state's proposal.

"Führer, you should know in your heart that inspiration cannot be obtained through hard pursuit. I know the other me, just like I know the me at this moment. So I can be sure... the other me must be an accident. I got some inspiration and finally created something as terrifying as an infinitely replicating robot. So...at this moment, I also need an inspiration to find a way to defeat the robots."

"For me, tedious routine work is a kind of accumulation, and inspiration usually comes from these accumulations. I participated in two projects, Virus Attack and Evolutionary Trap, and personally did those tedious routine tasks because I The more I learn about robots, the deeper my understanding of robots is, and the easier it is to find this inspiration. So...I am really working at this moment, and not just wasting time here as you worry."

"Are you sure?" The head of state looked at Xiao Yun worriedly.

"I'm not sure." Xiao Yun shook his head calmly: "Whether that inspiration can be found by me in the end is just a matter of luck, but... if I personally participate in the current work, that inspiration will be found by me. The chance of finding it will be greater. Also, maybe you don’t need my inspiration at all. You have seen Dink’s virus attack plan and Xiao Muhong’s evolutionary trap plan. You should know that these two This plan is also very confident of success.”

"I'm not optimistic about this." The head of state said very frankly. "I always think that these two plans are too simple. To put it simply, these two plans are easy to come up with, and the other one you It’s impossible that he didn’t think of this. Now that he has thought of it, how could he not formulate a solution in advance?”

The head of state sighed, and then continued: "In other words, the other you only started to officially launch the robots onto the stage to deal with us after solving the situation where the robot group was extinct due to virus attacks and evolutionary trap attacks. Civilized. Perhaps the solution to this virus attack and evolutionary trap is hidden in the core code of the robot. Those robots have long been immune to these two types of attacks, just because the core code of the robot has a certain degree of chaos. So you just didn’t notice it.”

"I have also thought about this possibility." Xiao Yun said, "I also think this possibility is very likely, but we don't know what the result will be until the final verification. The self-evolving virus required for the virus attack plan It is almost developed. The proliferation of robots at the Pluto base has also reached a certain scale. We will soon be able to start the first physical test. We will soon know whether the virus attack plan is useful. "

"I hope it will be useful." The head of state sighed again.

"Have you learned anything about Martian anatomy?"

"Not yet." The head of state shook his head, "I received a report from life science experts some time ago. They said that the situation of the Martian is not optimistic, and the possibility of finally restoring the information from the Martian brain is very small. . But the Martian has been dissected, its brain has been opened, and its thinking organs have been cut into the tiniest slices for study. Under these circumstances, the Martian has completely lost the possibility of resurrection. ——Even if our technology is ten times more advanced, it is impossible to do it. Therefore, experts in life sciences have no way out. They can only continue along this path. You... don't take this too seriously hope."

"I understand." Xiao Yun nodded silently, "Then I'll leave first."

"You..." The head of state looked at Xiao Yun's back and hesitated to speak. Xiao Yun stopped and didn't turn around, just stood there. But the next words of the head of state were never spoken. So Xiao Yun said: "Führer, please don't worry about my state. Please believe that I have never let go of my hatred for the other me, my dead lover, friends, and those in the expeditionary corps." The comrades who died in the Lage 728 galaxy have always lived in my mind and have never left. But you must know that I cannot be carried away by emotions such as hatred, anger, and sadness. , the more I hate the other me, the more I have to calm down. Only by calming down can I find a way to defeat the robot group."

"Participating in tedious routine work... is not only to accumulate inspiration, but also to hone my heart." Xiao Yun finally turned around and looked directly at the head of state with bright eyes, "A An agitated mind will not attract the patronage of inspiration. Inspiration...only prefers a calm mind."

"I understand." The head of state said, "In this case, I will not interfere in any way in your decision in the future."

"Okay, then...goodbye. I will report our test results to you as soon as possible." Xiao Yun said and left the head of state's office. (To be continued ~^~)
