Earth Era

Xiao Yun coughed lightly and asked the dean: "I very much agree with what you said, but there is one thing you did not clarify. That is, you said that escape is not feasible and will lead to the demise of our civilization. But you should also know that it’s impossible not to escape. We can’t sit here and wait to die. So... do you have any good suggestions? "

The dean shook his head and said to Xiao Yun, Xiao Muhong, the head of state, and many participants: "Who said... that if we don't escape, we will just sit here and wait to die?"

Xiao Yun was startled, but did not ask. The dean continued: "I know what you are worried about, but I think... you are blinded by fear, and there are some obvious things that you have ignored."

Everyone's eyes were on the old man. There seemed to be something very unusual in the dean's words.

"Xiao Yun, I have a question for you." The dean said slowly to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Excuse me."

"Let me ask you, even if the evolutionary trap plan fails to achieve full success and fails to completely destroy the robot groups around the solar system, even if a small number of robots are left behind, then... the robot groups that continue to develop from these leftover robots , and the robot groups outside the solar system, is there any difference between the two?"

Xiao Yun was startled at first, and then there was a loud bang in his mind. Looking at the pale hair of the dean of the Academy of Sciences, Xiao Yun suddenly understood, but at this moment he couldn't help but was speechless and couldn't say a word.

After a long while, Xiao Yun came back to his senses, and while thinking hard, Xiao Yun said slowly: "There should be no difference... No, there may be a difference, well, it is more likely that there is no difference. "

"Then, why do we have the confidence to deal with robot groups outside the periphery of the solar system, but why do we have to panic and discuss escape when facing a robot group developed from residual robots?" The old man asked one sentence after another, Xiao On Yun's face, large beads of sweat burst out involuntarily.

Xiao Muhong also murmured at this moment: "I understand, I understand, indeed, we did ignore these things before."

The head of state coughed and said: "Dean, Xiao Yun, Xiao Muhong, please explain your words in detail. You must know that many of the people here are not scientific researchers, and you must take them into account in your conversation."

Xiao Muhong said: "Führer, this matter is actually very simple, and we have indeed ignored this matter before. We did not expect that we were all blinded by fear. When we learned that the evolutionary trap may be ineffective, Almost all of us subconsciously start thinking about escaping...but the truth is, why do we need to escape?"

The head of state was stunned for a moment: "Why do we need to escape? Isn't this a very simple matter? If we don't escape, what will happen if the robot army comes to besiege us? How can we deal with so many robots?"

"When facing a siege by robots, we can also adopt an evolutionary trap plan to destroy most of the robots." Xiao Muhong said extremely seriously.

"But isn't there a major loophole in the evolutionary trap plan...?"

"So what if there are major loopholes?" Xiao Muhong continued, "Don't forget that the evolutionary trap plan can at least destroy the vast majority of robots. Doesn't it take time for the few remaining robots to continue to develop? Wait until they can develop again. After they developed, we implemented the evolutionary trap plan again and continued to destroy them until only a few were left. It still takes time for them to develop again... In this way, what if there are loopholes in the evolutionary trap plan? We have finally achieved the goal of buying time. strategic purpose, right?”

"The strategic positioning of the evolutionary trap program from the beginning is to buy time for our development. We knew from the beginning that the evolutionary trap cannot destroy all robots - robots ten light years away from the solar system are too far away to evolve. The trap plan is powerless against them - so, under the attack of the evolutionary trap plan, what does it matter whether there are fish that slip through the net?"

"This was originally a very simple thing... It's a pity that we were all blinded by fear before. If it hadn't been for the reminder from the dean, we wouldn't have thought of this." Xiao Muhong sighed.

It can be said that no one participating in this meeting is willing to leave his hometown of the solar system, and no one is willing for human civilization to transform into a wandering civilization. At this moment, after suddenly thinking about what the dean of the Academy of Sciences said, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately relaxed.

The head of state gently knocked on the table to stop the chaotic discussion in the conference room, and then said: "Anyway, the fact that there are loopholes in the evolutionary trap will have a very significant impact on us. But the specific impact is still unclear. We need to conduct further assessment. So, Mu Hong, I ask your team to conduct research on this as soon as possible. We must find out the impact this incident may have on our human civilization in the shortest possible time and formulate corresponding response plans. "

Xiao Muhong nodded slightly: "Führer, please rest assured, I will do a good job in this matter."

Since the few exchanges with the Dean of the Academy of Sciences, Xiao Yun has fallen into silence and has not participated in the subsequent discussion. The many chaotic possibilities were constantly entangled in Xiao Yun's mind, and were constantly being eliminated, classified, sorted, and summarized. As the thinking deepened, Xiao Yun's thoughts gradually became clear.

"Führer, I have a different opinion." When the discussion came to an end, Xiao Yun stood up and expressed his views in very solemn words.

The Führer said: "What is your opinion?"

"That's it." Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think we shouldn't be so optimistic. Maybe there is one thing we have forgotten...that is, the evolutionary trap plan failed to receive full success. If there are still fish that have slipped through the net, can the evolutionary trap plan really be reused and continue to achieve results?"

"Don't forget the evolutionary mechanism of robots." Xiao Yun said a little seriously, "If the evolutionary trap plan can be fully successful and can destroy all robots within ten light years around the solar system, then due to the information isolation Because of this, it is impossible for more peripheral robots to know the specific cause of death of these robots around the solar system, but if there are survivors among them, then...will such a huge number of similar deaths make them aware of the truth of the evolutionary trap attack? ?”

"So what if you realize the truth?" Xiao Muhong said immediately, "Don't forget, robots have no ability to distinguish whether technology is correct or not. They cannot be immune to evolutionary trap attacks."

"That's true, but don't forget how robots respond to evolutionary trap attacks. They rely on forcing a certain proportion of robots not to evolve to avoid evolutionary trap attacks. So, this evolutionary trap attack has caused them such a serious After the loss, will they change the setting of this ratio? For example... the previous setting was that one in ten trillion robots would not evolve, but now it is set to one in a thousand robots not evolving? In this way... although their overall evolutionary pace will be affected, the effect of the evolutionary trap plan will undoubtedly be greatly reduced."

"This could result in a situation where only one robot in a quadrillion survives the first evolutionary trap attack, one in a billion survives in the second, and up to one in a thousand in the third. One, or even one percent of the robots have survived... The effect of the evolutionary trap plan will continue to be weakened. Another point... I think, in the face of tens of trillions of robots, even if only one ten thousandth of them survive, There are still one trillion robots, which is still not something we can resist... So in fact, if the effect of the evolutionary trap plan is weakened to this point, it will be ineffective. "

Xiao Yun's words silenced the entire conference room once again.

It is undeniable that the situation mentioned by Xiao Yun is indeed possible, and the possibility is not low. In this case, the situation facing human civilization will become even more complicated.

"Of course, all this is just my speculation now, and I don't have any actual evidence to prove this." Xiao Yun emphasized, "I just think... we should be fully prepared. What we are facing The enemy is stronger than ever, and I think any underestimation of the enemy or blind optimism should not appear."

Facing Xiao Yun's words, the dean of the Academy of Sciences thought hard for a while, and finally sighed.

"I have to admit, Xiao Yun, what you said does make sense. Now we are really not at the point where we can be optimistic. So, facing this situation, Xiao Yun, what suggestions do you have?"

"From a personal standpoint, I strongly disagree with the escape plan. But..." Xiao Yun strengthened his tone and said, "Even if escape will eventually lead to the demise of civilization due to the reasons you mentioned, dean, it is also our human being's The only way out for civilization. Because the demise of civilization will not happen immediately because of escape, and having a time buffer means that we still have hope - even if this hope is so small, but you have to understand that no matter how small this hope is, it is still worse than If we don't flee, it's better to just sit here and wait for death. So...my suggestion is, if we finally verify that the evolutionary trap plan will be weakened, we should not hesitate and leave immediately, leave immediately." (To be continued~^ ~)
