Vol 2 Chapter 299: Occupy the galaxy

Xiao Yun's two speculations point to two different directions, and these two different directions mean different coping methods. As the supreme commander of the fleet, General Emock had to choose the right direction as possible. Now, there is no doubt that the speculation that "that genius has always been in the robot group" is more credible.

So...unless Xiao Yun can find a way to "improve the power of robots without relying on scientific progress" to prove the feasibility of this model, otherwise, the future General Emock will be "that genius has been in the robot group all the time" "Among" this speculation is used as a premise to arrange your next plan.

Xiao Yun hesitated and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say anything. General Emock issued the latest order: "Continue to analyze this robot, and at the same time, continue to search on the planet Raqqa, and be sure to find out everything that those robot monsters left here. At the same time... Order all the combat staff to come to the conference room, Xiao Yun, you too."

After the order was issued, all the combat staff and related personnel gathered in the conference room in less than ten minutes. General Emock first introduced the current situation, and then said: "There are two problems now, one, the voyage destination of the infinite replica robots, that is, where will they go after they leave the Raqqa galaxy; two, should we What kind of methods and strategies are used to deal with these robots. You can express your views on these two issues.”

"It is meaningless to discuss the voyage destination of these robots." A combat staff officer first expressed his opinion, "because ... it is obviously impossible for these robots to have only one voyage destination."

"Oh?" General Emock glanced at the staff officer. The staff officer continued: "If you were the general, or any of us here was that genius, then...would we choose to fix only one destination?"

The meeting room fell into silence in an instant. The staff officer continued: "If it were me...I would choose a main main voyage destination, and then...all the surrounding star systems would be all voyages. The main destination will concentrate most of the robots, and the rest. You only need to launch a very small number of robots."

"This is the worst-case scenario," said General Emock in a low voice.

The staff officer shrugged his shoulders: "General, I'm sorry to tell you that the probability of such a worst-case scenario is as high as 99%. As long as the genius's head doesn't have a convulsion, he will definitely do this. ."

General Emock sighed deeply.

This is indeed the worst case. Although the current number of robot groups has reached trillions, they are still in their infancy. If only they could be locked in a star system. Then they are all wiped out, and the crisis can be lifted smoothly. But...what if they've been dispersed?

The characteristic of infinitely replicating robots is that they can quickly replicate themselves. A star system doesn't need too many robots, even just one, after decades. The number of robots will also skyrocket exponentially, possibly even increasing to tens of trillions. And this...for the initial robot group, it didn't cost much.

Think about it, taking out one or a hundred robots from a group with trillions of robots, even if 100,000 robots go on a voyage, will not have any impact on the robot group as a whole. Because that's a very small number compared to the entire robotics group. And as soon as they can sail to their intended destination, their numbers skyrocket. In other words, this is a method with very little input and very high output, and the genius has no reason not to do it.

And once he does this, he will plunge human civilization into a state of doom. Because... there are probably many voyage goals that the genius preset, and in the most extreme case, he may have set every star in the Milky Way as a goal - after all, all the stars in the entire Milky Way can't add up. Just over a hundred billion.

Of course, the reality cannot be so extreme. Then the most likely scenario is that the genius selected 10,000 to 100,000 star systems as the target, and then selected one of the tens of thousands of star systems as the main target. Next, he will arrange for most of the robots to go to this main target - just assume that the number of these robots is 80%, then this number is more than 1.5 trillion robots, and the rest Twenty percent is more than 400 billion units.

More than 400 billion robots are scattered to assume 100,000 targets, so each target can be divided into more than 4 million units. That is to say...the most likely scenario at this moment is that more than 1.5 trillion robots have gone to the main target, and the remaining 100,000 star systems... each star system has more than four million robots arriving .

One hundred thousand star systems is an unattainable goal for human civilization in a short period of time. You must know that the total number of galaxies explored by human civilization is only a few hundred. and. How many battleships are there in total in human civilization? It is impossible for human civilization to send combat spacecraft to every star system, which means that the proliferation of robots has become an irreversible foregone conclusion.

This is the most desperate situation. Human civilization will only be able to watch these robots develop in those star systems, watching them continue to multiply, until... all the star systems around them are all occupied by robots. Human civilization will be plunged into the ocean of robots.

An infinitely replicating robot could eventually take over a star system. And a robot developed from one star system can occupy 100,000 star systems. So... a robot developed from a hundred thousand star systems. How big will it end up being?

This is a very simple mathematical problem. Whether it is General Emock or the staff members, they all came up with the answer to this question in a very short period of time.

The ultimate answer is...it won't be long before these robots take over the entire galaxy, and the trend is unstoppable, at least not by human civilization.

The bleak outlook in the forecast sent the entire room into silence. Everyone frowned tightly. Think hard about something. But no one could think of a way to deal with this situation. Xiao Yun couldn't think of a way to solve this problem, not only that, but Xiao Yun didn't think... the predicament faced by human civilization is only so far.

Don't forget that all the above questions are based on the premise that "the genius is constantly upgrading the technology of the robot". And Xiao Yun does not think this premise is correct. Although at this moment he has not thought of a way to improve his strength without relying on the technological system and without self-awareness, Xiao Yun still firmly believes that the genius must have already achieved this.

And if the final fact is what Xiao Yun envisioned... the situation facing human civilization will be even worse. At that time, what human civilization will face will not only be robots that spread to the entire galaxy, these robots will also self-evolve and continuously improve their strength, and the process of improving their strength does not require anyone's intervention. .

This is a more extreme situation by comparison, and now, just robots that "cannot evolve themselves" have begun to make people feel hopeless. If these robots can still evolve themselves... What kind of bad situation will the situation be? level?

Xiao Yun just thought silently and did not express his opinion. Because Xiao Yun knew that at the moment, he did not have any evidence or conjecture to prove that "robots can evolve themselves". But from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yun has already decided this.

"Although I don't know what that genius has to do with me, why did he challenge me, but I know... all geniuses must be arrogant." Xiao Yun thought silently, "Just like me... because back then I am also a genius."

"Since it's a genius... well, he can't release these robots until they are perfect. And only robots that can evolve themselves are perfect. So, these robots must have The ability to self-evolve.”

The "self-awareness of **" is formed by the natural evolution of the universe, and it is impossible for human civilization, or the creation of intelligent civilization similar to human civilization, to do this. Therefore, the presence or absence of self-awareness does not affect the perfection of the robot. If the genius thinks that he can only be considered a perfect robot if he has a "perfect self-awareness", then he is no longer a genius, but a lunatic.

As an artificial intelligence expert, Xiao Yun can make this conclusion with great confidence.

It is impossible to make these robots have perfect self-awareness, but it is possible for these robots to have self-evolution without relying on scientific systems without relying on scientific systems, although At this moment, Xiao Yun still doesn't know what this method is.

"Although I don't know who you are, I still choose to accept your challenge." Xiao Yun thought silently, "Not only because you killed my lover and companion, but also because of human civilization... the most important thing The thing is, I'm also a genius. So, I must find a way to destroy these robots." (To be continued.)
