Earth Era

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket?”

After hearing this sentence, Xiao Muhong was slightly startled, and then fell into thinking. The head of state obviously didn't think of anything because of these words. The head of state looked at Xiao Muhong, and finally turned his doubtful gaze to Xiao Yun, who was still lying on the hospital bed.

"Why?" the head of state asked, "Why can the evolutionary trap plan fail by relying on this strategy?"

Xiao Yun sighed, and then said: "That's it... Head of State. You should know that the key to the problem we discussed before has always been on one point, that is, can a robot with only mechanized judgment ability have a way to judge what it has obtained?" Whether the technology is useful or not. Mu Hong believes that robots have no way to judge whether the technology they obtain is useful, so the evolutionary trap plan must succeed, but I think that robots do not need to have such abilities, so the evolutionary trap plan must fail."

The head of state thought hard for a while, and finally shook his head: "I still don't quite understand what you mean. I am not a scientific researcher, so I ask you to explain your idea simply and clearly. And this will affect us The next overall strategic arrangement of human civilization.”

The success or failure of the evolutionary trap plan is related to the future destiny of human civilization. This matter cannot be ignored by the head of state.

"I think I understand what you mean." At this moment, Xiao Muhong's expression suddenly became heavy. This change in his expression caused the head of state's mind to fall into an endless abyss.

Although the head of state still does not understand what the so-called eggs and baskets mean, there is no doubt that Xiao Muhong understands. But at this moment, Xiao Muhong's tone and expression became so serious... Doesn't this prove that what Xiao Yun said is right?

At this moment, the head of state had a feeling of despair. More than a hundred years of planning, the consumption of endless resources, the hard work of countless geniuses...could it all be in vain?

Today, when the entire human civilization is cheering for victory and celebrating that human civilization has crossed another major obstacle... but you are telling me that the evolutionary trap plan is a failure? Are all our efforts in vain?

A surge of anger arose in the head of state's heart, but this anger was instantly buried by the feeling of powerlessness that followed. If...if even the evolutionary trap plan fails, what else can human civilization do to face the endless army of robots?

"I have to admit that we all missed this point at the beginning... Indeed, robots do not need to have the ability to identify whether technology is useful or not. As long as they adopt this strategy, they can avoid evolutionary trap attacks..." Xiao Muhong His tone became even lower, "Führer, although we don't want to admit it, but... I still have to say that the evolutionary trap plan... maybe... is really going to fail..."

"Don't put all your eggs in the same basket. This sentence is just a saying, but the meaning behind it is very important. Applying this strategy to the robotics group, that is... in acquiring a technology After that, not all robots will choose to evolve according to this technology... As long as a certain proportion of robots do not evolve according to the mandatory setting, then they will definitely not fall into the evolutionary trap."

"That's it." Xiao Yun nodded, "We assume that the ratio is one thousandth, and the total number of robots is one thousand. When the robot group captures technology one, one robot will choose not to evolve, and the remaining nine will One hundred and ninety-nine robots choose to evolve. When the robot group captures Technology 2, there will also be one robot that chooses not to evolve and only the other robots choose to evolve... Note that the robots that choose not to evolve in Technology 1 and Technology 2 are not the same robots. , it is possible that robot A did not evolve technology one but chose to evolve technology two, and robot B may have evolved technology one but did not evolve technology three. In this way, no matter how clever the evolutionary trap plan we set is, there will always be a problem among the robot groups. There will be some robots that do not follow our planned technological path, and they will naturally not be destroyed due to evolutionary traps."

"This strategy does not conflict with the principle that "a robot should copy itself as its first priority, and technological evolution is the main means of copying itself." Xiao Muhong said in a low tone, "So... if the robot If the group really adopts this strategy, then they can indeed resist evolutionary trap attacks."

The head of state keenly grasped a key point from this sentence: "So, has the robot group adopted this strategy? Don't forget, when the evolutionary trap experiment was carried out in the Eris base, the robot base was as high as There are billions of robots, and none of these billions of robots were spared from the attack of the evolutionary trap, and they all died!"

Obviously, if the robot group really had that strategy, when the experiment was conducted at the Eris base, a small number of robots should have survived. But the fact is that the original robot did not survive.

Xiao Muhong and Xiao Yun looked at each other and both shook their heads. Obviously, the two of them have thought of this.

"None of the robots in the Eris base were spared... It does not mean that the robot group did not adopt this strategy." Xiao Yun said very seriously, "Head of State, you have to know that although billions of robots are a large number, But it is still nothing compared to the real robot army. The difference between the two may be hundreds of billions or even trillions of times. All the robots in the Eris base may have died simply because of the insufficient number of samples. "

"Yes, this doesn't mean anything." Xiao Muhong said, "The characteristics of robots determine that as long as one robot survives, they can develop again in a very short time. At this moment, we are just the ones around the solar system. The number of robot groups that have been detected is as high as hundreds of megabytes. Among these hundreds of megabytes of robots, even if only one trillionth of the robots, that is, only a few hundred robots survive - they will be reunited in a short time. Developed. And there are only a few hundred robots in the vast universe, how should we find them? - It is impossible for us to know where they are hidden."

"But we still can't be sure, right?" the head of state said in a stronger tone, "We have no way to confirm whether all the Eris base robots died because they did not adopt this strategy or because although they adopted this strategy, they only Because the number of samples is insufficient. This proves that we still have a chance, and the evolutionary trap scheme still has the possibility of success."

Xiao Yun and Xiao Muhong looked at each other again, and the two sighed again.

"Führer, you need to know who the enemy we are facing is. It is a genius copied from Chairman Xiao Yun, and there may be a huge genius think tank behind it. I don't know how deep this group is in technology. Strength, they have been secretly planning for more than a hundred years before finally creating a demon like an infinite replicating robot... I don't think they will make any omissions in the evolutionary trap." Xiao Muhong sighed and said, "Well... if... It wasn’t Chairman Xiao Yun who proposed this strategy, I would have always believed that the evolutionary trap plan was impeccable.”

"It makes no sense to say these things now." Xiao Yun said, "Generally speaking, I think the probability of the Robot Group adopting this strategy is at least 90%. Or, even if the probability of the Robot Group adopting this strategy is only 100% If it's one percent, don't we need to prepare for it? I think the most important thing for us now is to discuss countermeasures."

"Countermeasures, what other countermeasures are there..." the head of state said with some despair, "The smallpox virus plan failed, and the evolutionary trap plan also has major loopholes. What else can we do? Do we really need to implement the escape plan? , abandon the solar system, abandon all affiliated galaxies, and then leave this mess to an illusory super civilization that may exist in the Milky Way to deal with it?"

This plan was originally proposed together with the smallpox virus plan and the evolutionary trap plan, but this plan was finally merged with the Escape Committee and stored as a final reserve plan.

The head of state's words were full of hesitation and uncertainty, but the three people present knew very well that if nothing could be done...escape would be the last and only way out.

This vast universe and endless sea of ​​stars will provide everything human civilization needs. But it's not easy to get these things. Human civilization needs to pay an unimaginable price.

Wandering in the galaxy, he became a rootless duckweed, constantly wandering and escaping, until the illusory super alien civilization took action to destroy the robot group. Perhaps super alien civilization will never appear, so human civilization will continue to be weakened in endless escapes, until the entire galaxy is occupied by robot groups, there is no longer a place to escape, and eventually it is eliminated in the endless starry sky until……

Different choices mean different endings, and the head of state does not know what the corresponding endings of these choices will be in the future. But as the head of human civilization, this choice must be made by the head of state himself.

"That's it." The head of state said silently, "I will hold another large-scale meeting tomorrow to summon all the elites of human civilization to discuss this matter. Where should human civilization go and which path should we choose? This issue will be decided at tomorrow’s meeting.”

"I will definitely participate tomorrow." Xiao Yun said. (To be continued ~^~)
