Vol 2 Chapter 302: I can do it
There is no doubt that the genius exists, but whether the robot army has the ability to evolve itself is controversial. And Xiao Yun believes that no matter whether they have this ability or not, whether they decide their destination by the program's self-judgment or the destination decided by the genius, their voyage target will be the Lage 728 galaxy.
There is no need to say more if there is a genius, and even if it is the self-programmed judgment of the robots, it is obvious to choose the Lager 728 galaxy. Because the robot's self-program judgment takes more and faster self-replication as its ultimate goal, under this premise, the Lage 728 galaxy is the most suitable.
Up to now, things like countermeasures, enemy behavior judgments, etc., have almost been discussed. But the dull atmosphere in the conference room has not changed.
There is a more heavy topic in front of everyone, and that is... the robots in the Raqqa Galaxy have left the Raqqa Galaxy at least fifty years ago.
The Lager 728 galaxy is 8.9 light-years away from the Raqqa galaxy. According to the speed of twice the speed of light, it means that the robot group has reached its destination at least forty years ago.
And... the robots in the initial stage can exhaust the resources of the Raqqa planet in about a hundred years. In more than 40 years, more than 1 trillion robots will be in the Lago 728 galaxy. What will China evolve into? The number of robots out there... how many?
Facing the number of robots as large as the sea of stars... Can this expedition fleet of human civilization really succeed in assassinating that genius?
Although this is a heavy topic, it cannot be avoided. The staff here, as well as Xiao Yun, and General Emock are well aware of this, but no one has brought this up now.
The fate of a soldier is to die in battle, just like what the staff officer said before, "Exchange our life for that genius's life... it's worth it."
Even if all speculations are correct, the success rate of the assassination plan is not high, but even if the success rate is not high. General Emock was still determined to carry out the assassination plan. Because the significance of the assassination plan is too great, it is too important for human civilization. This may be one thing that affects the life and death of human civilization, General Emock believes, for the assassination plan. Even burying the entire expedition fleet in this sea of stars is worth it.
Xiao Yun has a different view on this. Xiao Yun thinks it doesn't matter whether he kills the genius or not, because Xiao Yun believes that those robots already have the ability to evolve themselves. But unfortunately, no one will believe Xiao Yun until there is no evidence or conjecture. Even Xiao Yun himself only guessed this from some clues.
"That's it. The meeting is dismissed," said General Emock. "The last search of the Raqqa system will begin, and preparations for the voyage will begin. In a month's time, we will set off for the Rag 728 system."
The participants dispersed in twos and threes, and Xiao Yun also left the conference room with him.
The Raqqa planet is still shrouded in heavy clouds, and the last month of the large-scale search for the Raqqa planet was carried out in this darkness. The searchers found some things from the Raqqa planet intermittently, but these things were too fragmented, and there was no way to find anything from them.
There is one thing that catches people's attention, and that is, all the things that have been discovered. Whether it is some broken parts or complete limbs, there is a clear technological difference between them. That is, some materials are very advanced, and some materials are relatively backward.
This at least proves that the strength of the robots is constantly increasing. As for whether this increase in strength is due to self-evolution or the technological upgrade of the genius, it is unknown.
On the contrary, Xiao Yun found some evidence from here to support his assertion: "Look, if the strength of the robots is improved because the genius upgraded them... Actually, this is contradictory. The contradiction is, why? That genius didn't build the most advanced robots within his capabilities from the start, but built backward robots first, and then improved their strength through technological upgrades? Isn't that too much trouble? I think. A more plausible explanation is that the genius originally built the lagging robots to test their ability to self-improve technology."
"It's not contradictory," retorted General Emock. "Maybe it's because it's more troublesome to build the most advanced robots in the first place, while it's easier to build backward robots and then upgrade them through the data interface? Or maybe the genius Build outdated robots and then upgrade. Is it just to test the reliability of the system of "upgrading robot technology through data interface"? In short, there are many possibilities, and I don't think it will be useful to discuss further on this point. Having said that, is there no contradiction in the speculation that "robots have the ability to self-evolve" compared to the current situation? Is there no way to test the ability of robots to self-upgrade by making robots the most advanced from the beginning? ?"
General Emock's rebuttal made Xiao Yun fall into deep thought. Thinking about the past, Xiao Yun let out a long sigh. Abandoned the plan to find a breakthrough in this regard. Indeed, as General Emock said, there are an infinite number of possible explanations, and it is useless to dwell on this question.
It's just that Xiao Yun faintly still feels that something is wrong. Xiao Yun always subconsciously thinks that the genius started out making outdated robots, and then slowly upgraded them—whether the upgrade is the robot’s self-upgrade, or the genius’s upgrade through the data interface—this There must be an important reason behind the move, and this reason is likely to be the key to cracking the "robot self-upgrade" method.
It is impossible to figure out this problem in a short period of time. Xiao Yun can only record this doubt and prepare to think about it slowly in the future.
A month passed quickly, and the fleet arrived on the scheduled day to leave. Under the command of General Emock, more than 3,000 spaceships gathered again with the Earth-class spaceship as the core, and then slowly left the Raqqa galaxy by conventional navigation. After leaving the gravitational influence range of Lakka Star and using super-light speed navigation, the fleet will travel to the Lago 728 galaxy at twice the speed of light. If there is no mistake in prediction, human civilization will be in that galaxy, The first large-scale confrontation with the enemy.
Standing in front of the porthole of the earth-class spacecraft, Xiao Yun quietly looked at the darkness outside the window. This place is no different from the cosmic space. It is full of stars, and it is empty. But Xiao Yun knew that this place was actually different from other places, because there was a star and a planet nearby, but they were so dim that he couldn't see them.
Counting this time, I have been here twice. When I came here for the first time, my lover and companions were all killed, and my destiny had undergone earth-shaking changes. After coming and leaving this time, my destiny... What kind of changes will it have?
Xiao Yun didn't know this, so Xiao Yun's eyes were a little confused. At this time, General Emock came behind Xiao Yun and said, "Aren't you going to hibernate?"
Xiao Yun shook his head: "No, anyway, there are only more than four years, and it will be over soon. I will not hibernate. During this time... I want to find a way for the robot to achieve self-evolution, Use this to prove your strategy wrong."
General Emock patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, then sighed, shook his head and walked away. Xiao Yun continued to stand here, looking at the boundless universe outside the porthole, and once again fell into thought.
"That genius... what method will the robot use to achieve self-evolution by bypassing self-consciousness and the limitations of the scientific system?" Xiao Yun muttered to himself, "I think there must be a way to achieve it. At this point, this method must have been applied to the robot group by that genius."
"I don't think my intelligence will be worse than his, and obviously, the genius thinks so too, otherwise, he would not have issued this challenge to me. In this case...you can think of this way Why can't I think of it?"
"I still have more than four years left. As long as I find this solution in these four years, I can avoid unnecessary damage to the fleet." Xiao Yun thought silently, "And this...for our human civilization It’s very important, very important.”
After a period of regular voyage, the fleet finally left the gravitational influence of the Raqqa galaxy, and the superluminal voyage began. When traveling faster than the speed of light, the outside world cannot be seen with the naked eye, and the scene Xiao Yun sees has changed from the stars in the sky to darkness.
But Xiao Yun was still stubbornly standing in front of this darkness. Apart from eating, resting and other necessary things, Xiao Yun always stood here and never left. Xiao Yun is like those eminent monks who shut themselves in a secret room to study Zen and enlightenment, just thinking, thinking, and thinking every day.
The darkness in this boundless universe is the secret room where Xiao Yun is imprisoned. Xiao Yun will not leave here until the deeply hidden truth is discovered.
Xiao Yun quickly became haggard, Xiao Yun's hair and beard grew long, and his clothes were no longer neat, but Xiao Yun's eyes were always bright and never changed. (To be continued.)(www..)
