Earth Era

It is an obvious and precise truth that exhaustive evolution cannot be carried out without an abundant supply of materials. Of course, robots themselves can also be regarded as materials. An extremely large number of robots, perhaps as high as tens of billions, are a lot of resources. However, these resources are still compared to a planet or a star system. Very limited. The materials needed for exhaustive evolution can only be supported by the star system, and cannot be supported by the robot group itself.

Xiao Yun was silent again and figured this out. So Xiao Yun nodded and said: "This plan seems very feasible. I will start making arrangements so that the plan can be tested on the robot group as soon as possible."

"My team also proposed the second and third options." Xiao Muhong said, "Or, you should make a comprehensive evaluation of these three options."

"Please tell me." Xiao Yun continued.

"The second plan we call the "invalid evolution" plan." Xiao Muhong said calmly, "In short, it is to consume the vitality of the robot group through technological levels that some robot groups can never evolve to. , in order to drag them into the abyss of evolution, and ultimately achieve the goal of annihilating all robots."

"This plan is like this: We know the evolution mechanism of robots, and we know that after they acquire a certain high-tech creation, they try to master the high-tech creation through exhaustive evolution, and finally achieve the goal of using the technology for themselves. Purpose. Moreover, this kind of exhaustive evolution is engraved in their bones. Once a creation that exceeds their technological level appears, then exhaustive evolution will definitely start."

"So... if we design and manufacture a technological creation that is very different from the current technological level of robots - for example, suppose that the current technological level of the robot group is only enough to make a pistol, but we gave the robot group What about a natural disaster-level weapon? Does this mean that no matter how many robots there are and no matter how long they evolve, they will never be able to master the principles of a natural disaster-level weapon? - Because the difference between a pistol and a natural disaster-level weapon is The technological gap is really too big, and there are countless technological faults. The evolution of robots also needs to be gradual, and they are unlikely to make technological leaps."

"So what will be the consequences of this? We know that exhaustive evolution comes at the cost of consuming robots. Every evolution failure will kill a robot, and... a robot that only understands the principles of making pistols will never be able to survive." They may rely on exhaustive evolution to master the principles of making natural disaster-level weapons. Does this mean that the robot group will waste all its energy on this impossible thing, leading to the decline of its own race?"

Xiao Muhong finished explaining the plan they called "invalid evolution" in one breath, then stopped and looked at Xiao Yun quietly, waiting for Xiao Yun's reply.

Xiao Yun rubbed his head tiredly and fell into thinking again. After a while, Xiao Yun shook his head and rejected the plan: "I think this plan is not feasible."

"First of all, this plan is wrong from the beginning. Because the primary purpose of robots is reproduction, evolution only serves reproduction, that is, there is a difference between the two. In this case, how can we expect robots to reproduce because of reproduction? Your entire tribe was sacrificed? This is unreasonable."

"Secondly, even if your hypothesis is correct, robots will lead to the decline of their own species due to too much exhaustive evolution, but... I don't think the original designers and manufacturers of robots would ignore such obvious loopholes. He only needs to set A rule, that is: if the evolutionary goal is too difficult to achieve, then temporarily seal the evolutionary goal to avoid investing too much cost for this goal, only such a rule is enough."

"So, overall, I think this solution is not feasible." Xiao Yun concluded, "However... this solution still has some merits. I think we can use this solution to conduct field experiments on the robot group."

"Okay." Xiao Muhong nodded calmly, "Then let me talk about the third solution our team found. We call this solution "fixed-point evolution."

"Please tell me." Xiao Yun gestured.

"The evolutionary mechanism of robots is to rely on foreign technological creations to improve their own technology. In our current situation, robots rely on the technology of our human civilization to achieve their own evolution. In other words, our human civilization's technology for robots Development takes ownership. Can you understand what that means?”

Xiao Muhong paused and cast his gaze on Xiao Yun again.

Xiao Yun nodded: "I can understand these meanings. Indeed, as you said, we have the dominant right to the development of robot technology. In some ways, how robot technology develops depends on us. We Wherever you want robots to develop technology, the Robot Group will develop technology in that direction."

Xiao Muhong said: "Yes, that's exactly it. Our third plan is also proposed based on this basis. The specific content is: Our team will once again work with the affiliated institutes of the Academy of Sciences to develop a complete set of If the technology tree develops according to this technology tree, the robot group will also see the improvement of its own capabilities, but like the first plan, this technology tree also has a fatal flaw: as long as the robot group evolves according to this technology tree, in When they evolve to a certain level, the core chip will have a fatal mechanical flaw, and this flaw cannot be repaired through virtual world means."

"In this way, when fighting against the robot group, we can trigger the vulnerability by broadcasting a message containing a specific character code, and the core chips of all robots that are triggered by the vulnerability will be burned. Without the brain, the robot Naturally, it will die. This is the fixed-point evolution plan formulated by our team."

Xiao Yun fell into deep thought again. After a moment, Xiao Yun said: "This plan is also very feasible. However, I also have a question to ask you. Have you considered the situation where robots start exhaustive evolution after rapid and massive deaths? What if we Human civilization has worked hard to develop a special technology tree with fatal flaws, and used it to allow robots to greatly improve their capabilities. However, because the robots started exhaustive evolution, they eliminated the flaws. We only left the parts that were beneficial to them, so wouldn’t we have made wedding clothes for the enemy in vain?”

"Of course I have considered this issue." Xiao Muhong said very simply, "I can answer your concerns from two aspects. First of all, this technology tree is specially customized. You should know that technology Since development matters follow a certain path, it is impossible to change to another path. Even if it can be done, a heavy price must be paid - because this is not a specific technology, it is a Systematic, complete technological system.”

"I can make an analogy about this. It's like the "alchemy system" developed in our civilization during the feudal era. Alchemy is undoubtedly wrong, but our civilization has been on this wrong path for a long time. , there is no value in modifying the alchemical system. Only by completely and completely overthrowing it and re-establishing a correct scientific development system can we get back on the right track. So let me ask you, can you modify the alchemical system to The correct technology development system? You can't do it. Therefore, the special technology tree we have developed for robots, as long as the robots follow this path according to our plan, they cannot modify the flaws of the technology tree. Their only What can be done is to completely overthrow the technology tree and develop from scratch. And... overturning the technology tree means the demise of the robot group."

"This is the first point, and the second point is that if death comes too quickly and too much, the robot group will not have time to carry out exhaustive evolution. We can think of it this way, that is, the robots of one star system and the robots of another star system The robots can be regarded as physically isolated, and they can be regarded as two unrelated groups. And if we destroy all the robots in a star system in a very short time, we will not allow them to communicate with the robots in other star systems at all. It’s time for the group to send a message of death…then how do they start exhaustive evolution?”

"You know...the information carrying a specific code segment propagates at the speed of light. In a very short time, it can sweep across the entire star system and be received by all robots in the star system. Once the data is received , the core chips of the robots will burn out immediately, and they will die immediately. Wherever the radio wave reaches, the robots will fall in pieces, and no robot will survive."

Xiao Muhong's tone was always calm, without any emotional fluctuations. In this way, he described a doomsday scene for robots without any emotion. That invisible and massless radio wave sweeps across the entire galaxy at the speed of light, bringing death wherever it goes... If this plan can be implemented smoothly, the robots will not know how they died until they die.

Death comes so quickly and in so many ways, how could they have time to start exhaustive evolution and find a solution to death through exhaustive evolution?

If you can't find it and don't have time to look for it, then... just die. (To be continued ~^~)
