"EMP bombs are a good thing, a weapon against rebel robots. It's hard to imagine a scenario where all the robots of civilization rebel...... Is there a war between intelligent life and robots? ”

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and watched the spaceship carried by the soldiers set off again to explore new clues.

This time there were no major problems, and the exploration team quickly brought back a large number of valid objects. After bringing all the items into the safe house, scientists from the new human civilization and hemispheric civilization began to analyze the data stored in the device again.

After the cleaning of the EMP bomb, most of the data was destroyed, and it became very difficult to find effective information.

Fortunately, there are a large number of experts in this area, and the new human civilization can be regarded as a novice in picking up garbage, and has not picked up too much interstellar garbage. However, hemispheric civilizations are veterans of picking up garbage, and at the moment when the development of science and technology was slow, they used to be near the Dyson sphere for a long time, picking up garbage and cracking technology to get development, so they also trained quite a lot of professional scientists.

Hemispheric civilizations directly sent out a cracking team of 2,000 people, while the new human civilization sent 1,000 elites.

In this way, after a week of hard work, more than 3,000 people finally came to a conclusion.

Strong Artificial Intelligence!

It is true that there is a strong artificial intelligence that occupies the main base of the Toth civilization and then causes this accident.

"We don't think this AI is in the category we expected. Its strength is not as imagined, and it can extend infinitely upward. Because we've been here for so long, it hasn't attacked us, suggesting that its abilities are somewhat flawed. ”

"Or, we believe, its main purpose is not to destroy intelligent life, but to occupy the entire galaxy!"

"Well, the main cause of the matter is this......"

An iron ball quietly descended on the base of the Thoth civilization, and after those large baby fish found out about this, they were naturally very nervous and began to carefully explore, analyze and study it.

If it is too dangerous, they will prepare a large force to withdraw.

As a result, the "artificial intelligence" in the iron ball did not attack directly, but actually tried to recruit the Toth civilization and let them join the faction of the Alev civilization!

This "joining" is not enough to talk about, but to implant a special brain chip for the whole people!

After the chip is implanted, all members of the Toth civilization will become a part of the Aleph civilization and jointly build a beautiful galactic home......

The leader of the Torth civilization was stunned by this request. They were angry and shocked.

What kind of interstellar joke, the large baby fish that yearns for personal freedom are certainly not willing to implant inexplicable chips.

If you rashly implant the chips developed by the fifth-level civilization, your thinking will be forcibly changed, your culture will be lost, and even your life may not belong to you, are they still the original ones?!

"Therefore, when the conversation failed, this one artificial intelligence quickly launched a smart machine mutiny and snatched the entire underground base. Even if they were vigilant, under the influence of the digital virus, the Thoth civilization was still unable to prevent it, and it was defeated, and finally reluctantly escaped a part of the population. ”

This story is recorded in the wreckage of the spaceship that people have collected.

The truth of this part is still pieced together by scientists in different descriptions.

Zhang Yuan's heart is very heavy, and the five big words "Alev civilization" alone are enough to make people feel heavy.

And what is even more shocking is that the "Alev civilization" actually adopted this method to unify the entire galaxy.

"yes, one of the most efficient ways to do it."

"So, that iron ball ......"

"Now, there are more than a hundred iron balls in the square, are they all copied from it?"

One of the lieutenants said with a little heaviness: "We can boldly think that those iron balls are theoretical-von Neumann probes!" ”

Von Neumann probe!

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart, this is the means of fifth-level civilization, the von Neumann probe has appeared, and the time for the entire galaxy is really running out.

Among the Fermi paradoxes that were explored during the period of earth civilization, there is the von Neumann probe.

At that time, people believed that civilization was scarce, the universe was dark, and human beings were definitely the lucky ones of the universe.

One hypothetical approach to galactic interstellar colonization is to create a drone capable of deep space travel, and then spend about 500 years replicating itself with materials from new planets to send the replica to the next target.

This kind of machine that can travel in deep space and replicate itself is called the von Neumann probe.

It is like a virus multiplication, flowering from one planet, bearing fruit, and then spreading replicas to the next, which is an exponential form of rapid growth.

At the time, humans estimated that even if they were to travel at a much slower speed than the speed of light, this model would only take 3.75 million years to complete the colonization of the entire galaxy.

Of course, at that time, human beings did not observe the von Neumann probe, so they blindly believed that there was no too advanced intelligent civilization in the universe.

Now people know why. At that time, human beings were too optimistic to underestimate the difficulty of developing strong artificial intelligence, and too optimistic to estimate the progress of science.

This type of machine manufacturing is very difficult, at least to achieve strong artificial intelligence-level technology!

Because the spacecraft that can travel in deep space is already extremely complex, from the energy room to the engine, to the control center, the computing center, and also includes self-maintenance robots.

After arriving at its destination, it still needs to take local materials, smelt and process, and complete a series of production lines before it can completely replicate the second spaceship.

I don't know how many processes there are in between smelting a piece of ore into a superalloy, let alone manufacturing these materials into industrial products.

Do you want to do it with weak artificial intelligence alone? It's impossible to do, it's even more difficult to maintain oneself alone, and humans definitely don't have this kind of technology!

The new human civilization needs at least 100,000 high-end talents and a large number of equipment to be able to restart civilization on a different planet.

Moreover, the smaller the population, the more time it will take to restart civilization, and it is a huge problem to cultivate a high-quality next generation, and in the end, it will take millions of high-tech talents to be able to reluctantly develop a spaceship production line that crosses the galaxy.

So, the von Neumann probe has always been a legend.

Humans can't figure it out on their own, and they still can't. In the past, the old fifth-level civilizations, or sixth-level civilizations, were not interested in filling the entire galaxy with such probes, they really had no interest.

But now, when this von Neumann detector appeared in front of him, Zhang Yuan felt the panic in his heart.

The Milky Way is so big, so what?

In the face of exponential growth, coupled with warp sailing, it will not take 3.75 million years at all, it is likely that only a fraction of it will be needed, 50,000 years, or even 10,000 years!

Relying on this infinitely value-added probe, in 10,000 years, the Alev civilization will be able to occupy the entire galaxy! When the time comes, every time a new human lands on a new planet, they will discover its existence!
