Vol 2 Chapter 315: Value Judgment System
Once the self-destruct procedure is activated, things are irreversible. Once the button is pressed, all the anger, unwillingness, humiliation and pain in Xiao Yun's heart will be turned into fragments in the universe along with the spaceship, and no one will remember it anymore.
That is the most terrifying ending. As long as there is a little hope, Xiao Yun is unwilling to accept this result. But until he found a way, Xiao Yun could not raise any objection to General Emock's actions. No matter how frightened and unwilling he was in his heart, Xiao Yun's rationality still told him clearly and unmistakably that when something was impossible, self-destruction was the only way out.
At this moment, a staff officer suddenly stood up, and then slumped down on his seat. His face was very dark, and there were still large drops of sweat on his forehead. His lips were constantly wriggling, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. After dozens of seconds, his words came out: "General, we have failed. The fifth raid combat team did not receive the intended effect. Not only did they not open the retreat channel, but they were all destroyed by the robots. "
"So far... we have lost more than 800 Taishan-class battleships, 67 Everest-class battleships, and one Ocean-class spacecraft... The damage to Earth-class ships is 65 percent. , is expected to last for half an hour, after which we will lose all motivation..."
"Then... self-destruct." General Emock sighed. "Rather than being killed by the enemy and stealing the technology, it's better for us to kill ourselves."
There was a suppressed cry in the conference room. No matter how strong a person's mental quality is, at the moment when they finally face death... they probably cannot keep their state of mind stable.
"Clarke, what's the matter with you?" General Emock's tone became surprisingly soft. He asked the crying staff officer like a kind elder asking his junior.
Clark is an unusually young staff officer, he is even younger than Xiao Yun. Working under General Emock at such an age has undoubtedly proven his excellence. Come to think of it... in normal times, he should also be a high-spirited, young and ambitious character.
But what's the use of all this? In the face of the demise of the entire fleet, it seems that the individual's ability is not enough to affect the overall situation.
Clark desperately suppressed his crying. The tears were still pouring out. While crying, he said: "General, I have nothing to do, I just can't control my emotions temporarily. Please execute the self-destruction procedure immediately. If it is too late, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Clark, don't cry, there are so many of us to accompany you... It's not lonely on the road to Huangquan." General Emock said, tidying up the already straight military uniform on his body, and then took a step forward . Facing all the staff in the combat conference room, a standard military salute: "Everyone, I am honored to work with you for so long. If there is an afterlife, I hope we can still work together."
"General, we are also honored to fight under your command," said one of the staff officers, "your military talent is beyond doubt, this failure... because the enemy is too unfamiliar. I think our death is not It doesn't make sense, at least our failure can teach some lessons for our civilization, making it easier for subsequent commanders to find the right direction."
"Okay!" General Emock laughed loudly: "Then let these **** see the blood of our human civilization soldiers! Everyone! See you in the next life!"
The words just fell. General Emock raised his big hand, and then slapped the fiery red button hard. Everyone is watching here closely, including Xiao Yun. At the last moment when the palm of the hand touched the button, the eyes watching here decreased a lot - those staff officers seemed to be unbearable to see this scene, so they closed their eyes at this last moment. But Xiao Yun didn't, Xiao Yun was still staring at this place.
At the moment when General Emock's big hand clapped, a flash of lightning flashed in Xiao Yun's mind, and a wonderful idea suddenly appeared in Xiao Yun's mind. It was a very vague idea, and it was just an idea, but Xiao Yun felt it like an intuition. I... seem to have found a way out of here.
Xiao Yun swooped over and threw General Emock to the ground just before his palm touched the button. After all, General Emock was a soldier with a strong body, and he supported the ground with his hands the moment he fell to the ground. Then he stood up all of a sudden, the other hand pulled out the gun from his waist like a conditioned reflex, and instantly aimed at Xiao Yun who was lying on the ground.
After seeing Xiao Yun, General Emock immediately roared: "Xiao Yun! What do you want to do?!"
"General, general..." Xiao Yun said sternly, "First... don't start the self-destruction program! I have it. I have a way, we may try it!"
Death is only the most compelling choice. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, no one is willing to die. After Xiao Yun said these words, all the staff in the battle room opened their eyes together, and then stared at Xiao Yun tightly. General Emock also put away the gun and said, "I'll give you five minutes to convince me."
Five minutes, just five minutes. General Emock's words are obvious, if Xiao Yun can't convince him within five minutes, then the self-destruction program will still be executed.
Xiao Yun got up from the ground with some difficulty, trying to sort out the aura in his mind - after all, it was just an inspiration, and he hadn't thought about it more deeply.
"That's it." Xiao Yun said slowly while thinking hard, "General Emock, I want to ask you a question, that is, what standard does the robot use to judge the value of the target?"
General Emock was stunned, and looked at Xiao Yun for some unknown reason.
Xiao Yun continued: "Since the goal of the robot is to absorb our technology to the maximum extent, then, what kind of spacecraft will be the most rewarding?"
"This is an obvious thing," said General Emock. "Naturally, the Earth-class spacecraft was captured. Are there any ships in our fleet that are more technologically advanced than Earth-class spacecraft?"
"Earth-class spacecraft is the ultimate weapon of war made by our human civilization. Of course, there is no more advanced spacecraft in our fleet than Earth-class spacecraft." Xiao Yun stared at General Emock's eyes tightly, and then said: "This is something that each of us knows, and it is precisely because of this that the robot group is chasing the earth-class spaceship, and even if the other targets are spared, the earth-class spaceship will be left behind. However, you don't think Are there some exploitable loopholes in this logic?"
"Vulnerability?" General Emock asked hesitantly.
"Yes, loopholes." Xiao Yun nodded affirmatively, "This brings me back to my first question, what standard does the robot use to judge the size of the target value? That is to say, each of us Everyone knows that the value of the Earth-class spacecraft is the greatest, but how did the robot come to this conclusion?"
"This, this..." General Emock said hesitantly, "Isn't it obvious?"
"There is no obvious or unobvious in the world of robots." Xiao Yun directly denied General Emock's statement, "We intelligent life can take it for granted that this is a very intuitive thing, but robots are different. They must have a A set of internal logical judgment programs to judge the value of the target. Assuming that there are two targets at the same time, and only one of the two targets can be obtained, the value index of target A is 10, and the value index of target B is 100, then the robot group will Which target to choose?"
"Of course target B will be chosen," said General Emock, "but... does this have anything to do with our situation at the moment?"
"It has a lot to do with it." Xiao Yun nodded vigorously: "The robot group has been chasing Earth-class spaceships, and even some loopholes that may lead to the success of the rest of the spaceships have not been filled. This obviously means that The robot group judged the Earth-class spacecraft as the most valuable target, and because of this, they gave up the rest of the goals and always pursued the Earth-class spacecraft."
"I understand what you mean." General Emock nodded, "What you mean is... We can use an unimportant spaceship and disguise it to obtain it in the value judgment system within the robot group. To a higher value index than the Earth-class spacecraft, use that spacecraft to attract the firepower and attention of the robot group Our Earth-class spacecraft can take the opportunity to break through and escape."
"Yes, that's my idea." Xiao Yun said.
"But... what is the standard for the robot group to judge a target value index?" General Emock touched his chin and thought carefully, "Will it be the size? No, it is impossible, a giant transport ship may be bigger than The Earth-class spaceship is even bigger, but its value is not comparable to that of an Everest-class combat spaceship. Firepower? It doesn’t seem to be very accurate, and firepower does not mean high technical content, so what is it?…”
"You guessed wrong." Xiao Yun said, "No matter what indicator you put forward, it is not comprehensive, and if the indicator is not comprehensive, it is impossible to judge the value of the target. So... if I were that genius , I will set it like this."
"How would you set it up?" At this moment, not only General Emock, but everyone in the battle room was watching Xiao Yun.
"I'll set it to... rely on the enemy's reaction to judge the value of the target." Xiao Yun said word by word, "In simple terms, the more the enemy attaches importance to, the greater the target's value, and the more the enemy despises, the target The less the value." (To be continued.)
