Earth Era

The military power in General Emerk's hands and the smallpox virus in Dink's hands are what Xiao Yun relies on for his plans. Apart from this, Xiao Yun has no other resources to use.

But Xiao Yun doesn't feel that these things are too few, because the key point is not in those things. If you can find the key point to fight against robots, then no matter how little resources you have, it will be enough. If you can't find the key point, then what if you put the entire power of human civilization under your control?

Facts have proved this, have proved... the key to the incident only lies with Xiao Yun.

The military exercise ended after three days. This was the first formal large-scale exercise after the establishment of the Civilized Guard, so there were many accidents during the exercise, but fortunately with General Emerk, an experienced veteran, those accidents were within the acceptable range. . According to General Emerk, this exercise probably achieved his goal.

Looking at the middle-aged and elderly soldiers who were exhausted after three days of high-intensity exercises but still managed to maintain a neat military appearance, Xiao Yun was filled with emotion.

After instructing Dink to seize the time to enhance the power of the smallpox virus, Xiao Yun returned to his residence again. Perhaps because of the strong fighting spirit of the middle-aged and elderly soldiers, Xiao Yun felt that his heart was filled with a strange power at this moment. In the long period of thinking, Xiao Yun felt that he was getting closer and closer to grasping the final truth.

There are already some things in the depths of his thoughts that are ready to move, but perhaps because the power is too small, those things are still like chrysalis that has not yet grown up, and they are still unable to finally show the breakthrough of the restraints.

After casually grabbing some biscuits and feeding them to the monkey who had always been with him, Xiao Yun once again fell into deep thought.

Before leaving his residence to participate in the military exercise, Xiao Yun had prepared enough food for the monkey, so it was not hungry in the past few days. But perhaps because of its relationship with Xiao Yun, it was always restless during the days when Xiao Yun left. However, with Xiao Yun's return, this anxiety has disappeared, and it has returned to its former self again. A lively and lovely state.

Xiao Yun was thinking, and it was playing beside Xiao Yun minding its own business.

Xiao Yun's eyes were once again cast on the thick and dark sky, and his thoughts followed his eyes to the vast and empty world.

"If the original Martian civilization really destroyed existences similar to the current robot army...if those things in the minds of the Martians are really the key to solving the robot army...then I can draw the following conclusion through reasoning. "

"First of all, the meaning behind the Martian's sentence "Devils are stupid" is very clear, that is, deception is needed to achieve the purpose of solving the demons. And if deception is used, where should we start? How about starting on one side?"

"Perhaps this question can be asked another way, that is, how to achieve the purpose of making the robot self-destruct through deception. To achieve this goal, according to the currently known characteristics of the robot, it must meet three conditions."

"First of all, we cannot achieve deception by tampering with the robot's judgment logic. Because the robot has its own mechanism for judging "whether the logic mechanism is reasonable," any changes to their own logic mechanism from the outside world will be noticed by them. Various previous experiments have already Completely proves this point. Therefore, whimsical solutions such as "deceiving robots into thinking that their own kind are enemies and making them kill each other" and "deceiving robots into thinking that humans are their masters and making them obey human orders" are completely unfeasible. . This is the first condition that deception needs to meet.”

"Secondly, the deception method must find a way to avoid the "crisis evolution" mechanism. Based on past experience, we know that as long as there is a large-scale death of unexplained reasons in the robot group, the robot group will start a large-scale random "crisis evolution", and each of them will Different evolutionary directions are randomly selected to avoid this unexplained mass death. And if the deception method we develop triggers the mass death of the robot group, the remaining robots will start crisis evolution and the deception method will fail. In other words, The deception method must be able to destroy all the robots in an instant, or at least destroy the vast majority of robots, so that the remaining number of them is not enough to start the crisis evolution. This is the second condition that the deception method needs to meet."

"Thirdly, the robot group implements the strategy of "not putting eggs in the same basket". That is to say, regardless of technology or deception, there will always be a proportion of robots that choose not to implement it. When encountering evolutionary technology Some robots choose not to evolve in order to avoid the possibility of stepping into the evolutionary trap. Therefore, it is foreseeable that when receiving a piece of information, no matter whether it is correct or not, a certain proportion of robots will choose to "disbelieve" to avoid making mistakes. The consequences of total annihilation. Therefore, the deception method must meet the conditions of being effective on all robots at the same time and making all robots "believe"."

"These are the three problems I need to solve." Xiao Yun thought silently, "Only deception that meets these three conditions at the same time will finally take effect on the robot group. Oh, maybe a fourth restriction must be added, That is to say, this deception method must be applicable to the Martian civilization hundreds of years ago, and it can also be used with the scientific and technological means of the Martian civilization at that time."

Because the general direction of the deception plan was provided by the Martians, all the reasoning made by Xiao Yun was based on the premise that "Mars civilization used this plan to destroy the devil", so if Xiao Yun finally finds the method It turned out to be something that the original Martian civilization couldn't do. It was inconsistent, and Xiao Yun's reasoning and guessing had no value at all.

"These are the four conditions." Xiao Yun exhaled, looked at the monkey playing beside him, and said with a bitter look, "Who can tell me how to satisfy these four conditions at the same time? "

"First of all, the first condition is relatively easy to meet. I have many ways to deceive robots without tampering with their logical judgment mechanism. The execution of the evolutionary trap plan is the best proof. The original evolutionary trap plan did not Tampering with the robot's logical judgment mechanism has led the robot group step by step onto the wrong evolutionary path."

"The second condition is also relatively easy to meet. The evidence is also the evolutionary trap plan that has been implemented. After the evolutionary trap plan was implemented, there were only a small number of robots left, and this small number of robots were not capable of executing the crisis. Evolutionary—crisis evolution requires a huge robot base to achieve."

"The third condition..." Xiao Yun's expression gradually became confused.

The third condition is the most difficult to satisfy. Since robots implement a hedging strategy of "not putting all eggs in the same basket," how do you destroy robots that choose not to believe in deception and thus survive?

Xiao Yun's thinking stopped abruptly. Xiao Yun has stayed at this node for a long time. In fact, Xiao Yun had already thought about this when the evolutionary trap plan failed, but after so long until now, Xiao Yun has not considered this issue. achieved a breakthrough.

Xiao Yun encountered the same difficulties as the evolutionary trap plan. The evolutionary trap plan ultimately failed because it could not completely destroy the robot group. If the deception plan conceived by Xiao Yun could not solve this problem, Xiao Yun's plan would also definitely fail. Xiao Yun knew this very clearly.

There is a seemingly simple solution, that is, if the deception plan can be executed simply and easily, instead of requiring a long period of preparation before it can be executed like the evolutionary trap plan, then... execute it more After several deceptions, the plan was ready. One deception destroyed 99% of the robots, and another deception destroyed the remaining 1% of the robots.

There are successful precedents for this approach. Don't forget, when the evolutionary trap plan was tested at the Eris base, none of the billions of robots there were spared. There were no survivors like when the evolutionary trap plan was officially implemented. After analyzing the reasons afterwards, Xiao Yun and others agreed that this was because the number of samples was insufficient, which prevented the robot group from executing the hedging strategy. In other words, as long as the number of robots was reduced to a certain level, "do not put all the eggs in the same place" The hedging strategy of "in a basket" will be ineffective. And if the first deception can achieve the goal of "reducing the number of robots to the point where it is impossible to implement the hedging strategy", wouldn't it be possible to completely destroy the robot army with another deception strategy?

It's not that Xiao Yun never thought about this possibility, but Xiao Yun finally ruled it out. Because there is a simple strategy to avoid this conjecture, that is: "If the robot army is attacked by unknown methods and only a small number is left, then the robots will refuse to carry out any technological evolution, refuse to believe any words, and only concentrate on replicating themselves. work".

In fact, this strategy is also effective for two or more consecutive evolutionary trap attacks - if the first evolutionary trap attack reduces the number of robots to a very low level, then the robot group can use this strategy to avoid the possible subsequent ones. The second evolutionary trap attack will completely destroy itself.

Although Xiao Yun cannot be sure whether this strategy has been adopted by the robot army, Xiao Yun believes that the possibility of this strategy being adopted is extremely high. (To be continued ~^~)
