Chapter 20 Intelligent Robots
"Look at the screen, the disappeared platform has reappeared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Ralph shouted in a panic.
Zhou Xin hurriedly looked at the screen, and he saw that the number of platforms that were attacking the side of the robot had increased, and at the same time as Zhou Xin was looking, a platform appeared under his nose. And, to his surprise, some of the platforms were moving behind the combat robots, seemingly trying to surround them.
As the platforms increased, their attacks became more and more violent, and the battle robots were already somewhat unable to support them.
"Go back first." Spred was also very anxious next to him, "If you don't come back, those platforms will surround the robots." ”
Zhou Xin saw that he really couldn't think of a better way in front of him, so he had to ask the combat robot to retreat first, but obviously those platforms didn't want to let the robot leave, and those platforms that had gone around the back of the robot attacked violently, wanting to block the robot's retreat, but fortunately, there were not many platforms behind it, and they retreated under the concentrated attack of the robot, but under their blocking, the robot team lost more than a dozen robots. Seeing that the passage behind them had been opened, the robot quickly began to retreat, and in the process of retreating, the flank attack was still very fierce, so, after dropping a dozen more robots, the entire robot brigade retreated to a safe place. After the robots withdrew to their safe locations, Zhou Xin and the others saw that those combat platforms had returned to their original positions, but there were a few fewer of them, and the few were destroyed.
After counting, Zhou Xin and the others found that in the short battle of less than twenty minutes, they had lost nearly half of the robots, and in exchange, they had only eliminated less than ten combat platforms.
Seeing such a large difference in the proportion of battle losses, Zhou Xin smiled bitterly: "The gap is a bit big, close to 5:1 battle damage, what are we going to do next, can we only use crowd tactics." The level of technology is a bit different. "He was a little distressed.
"There are less than 1,500 combat robots on this ship, and according to this battle loss ratio, we need to send at least 300 combat robots to fight to ensure victory, are you sure you want to do this, captain?" The Voyager replied,
Zhou Xin frowned, "That crowd tactic won't work, we don't know if there are only these fifty or so platforms inside, if there is still a group, then wouldn't it be enough for us to send all the robots down, what should we do." "He's a little distressed.
"Humph! It's not that the other side is too cunning, and actually plays hide and seek with us. Ralph grumbled.
Hearing Ralph's words, Zhou Xin was shocked, he looked at Spred as if he did, and said, "What do you think of the platform's behavior just now?" Is it manipulated, or is it their own judgment, or is it a pre-programmed program? ”
"I can't see it." "I just think that the platforms that retreated at first seemed to lure the robots into attacking them, and then before they knew it, the robots were caught in their circle." It's like they have intelligence. ”
"It would be bad if there was intelligence." Zhou Xin said with a frown.
"Does it make a difference?" Ralph asked.
"Of course there is a difference." Zhou Xin explained, "If it is human-manipulated or pre-set programs, we can still try to communicate, and if it is pre-programmed, it will be better to solve it." But if they make their own judgment, it will be troublesome, which means that these platforms have their own intelligence, they can deal with problems according to the specific situation, and the platforms can communicate with each other, so that it is not something that the simple combat robots below can deal with. ”
"Are those battle robots still simple? I think it's pretty advanced. Ralph asked, puzzled.
"It's completely different." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "Our combat robots only have simple intelligence, they know how to form formations, attack, and retreat, but they can't judge their behavior according to the specific situation, just like the battle just now, they will only retreat after I give the order to retreat, instead of retreating directly when they can't fight, there is a big gap in the judgment here." Now on our ship, perhaps only the Voyager can make such a judgment on its own. Oh, and maybe there's a Chang'e. ”
"So each platform is equivalent to one of our battleship hosts?" Ralph was a little surprised.
"It's different, the Voyager is an all-rounder, and the combat platform is a combat type, it would still be a little easier to build just for combat, but we still can't do mass production now." Zhou Xin explained.
"After talking for a long time, we still don't know if those combat platforms have reached this kind of intelligence." "And there's no way to tell if their behavior is autonomous or human-manipulated. ”
"Actually, there is a way." Zhou Xin thought for a while and said, "I can command the robot to make different attacks, see how those platforms react, if they can quickly make judgments on the different attacks I command, then basically rule out the possibility of pre-set procedures, as for human manipulation, we repeat the same attack method several times, if it is human manipulation, it is unlikely that they will respond exactly the same way each time, if the response method is exactly the same, then it should be the platform's own intelligence." ”
Spred thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense, let's give it a try." ”
Over the next few hours, Zhou Xin and the others tested the battle platforms in detail, constantly mobilizing the battle robots to test them at the edge of the safe zone. Zhou Xin and the others saw that in response to every action of the combat robots, those platforms immediately reacted relatively. No matter how Zhou Xin deploys robots, basically every time less than 10 robots are transferred, the same number of platforms will be dispatched on the opposite side to deal with it, and if there are more than 10 robots, their response methods begin to be complicated, but there is still a certain rule, after dozens of attempts, Zhou Xin handed over the task to the Voyager, and he asked the Voyager to randomly select the previous different attack modes, and then compare the platform's response behavior.
After a few hours of comparison, Voyager reported the final conclusion that the platform would respond the same way to the same attack pattern. Especially for the transfer of more than 10 combat robots, once the robot changes the formation, the platform will also change the formation, but the movement route of each time they change the formation is the same, for this conclusion, Zhou Xin also made a final attempt, he found that it is indeed as the Voyager said, once the formation of the robot is adjusted, the platform will also adjust the position, but for the same formation of the robot, the position of the platform is fixed, for this reason, Zhou Xin also fine-tuned the position of some robots, but, As long as the formation is the same, the platform will not react to the slight movement of the position of the few robots. At this point, Zhou Xin can be sure that the platform on the opposite side is not artificially manipulated, but has its own intelligence.
Having come to such a conclusion, Zhou Xin was a little distressed, "If the combat platform on the opposite side is intelligent, then how can our combat robots deal with it." ”
"Aren't you in control of them?" Ralph asked, "You control the battle robots to attack." ”
Zhou Xin explained helplessly: "Didn't you just watch me control those robots? If I control it, I have to control every move of the robot, it's okay to control a few, how can I control more than 10? ”
"Let's try first, or how are we going to get through here?" Ralph said.
At the instigation of Ralph, Zhou Xin began to manipulate the combat robot, and the second battle began.
In order to prevent the opposite combat platform from using the tactics of dividing troops and luring at the beginning, Zhou Xin also used a little trick when controlling the combat robots, he controlled the robots to enter the cordon of the platform in a certain order, intending to surround those platforms, at the beginning this tactical intention was indeed successful, those platforms were successfully surrounded by the combat robots, but after the final encirclement was formed, those platforms seemed to have discovered Zhou Xin's intentions, so they directly chose to ignore the attack of the combat robots, Directly turned his head and walked towards the wall behind him, and then, they disappeared by the wall, seeing them disappear, Zhou Xin hurriedly called the robot to retreat, and sure enough, when the machine retreated halfway, those platforms emerged from the side of the robot and began to attack. Fortunately, the retreat was fast, and this wave of attacks did not cause much damage to the battle robots.
After all the robots retreated to a safe area, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, the operation just now concentrated all his energy, coupled with the nervousness when he just retreated, which made Zhou Xin sweat profusely, and he wiped the sweat on his face while asking the Voyager about the result of the battle just now.
"The battle lasted 10 minutes, and we lost a total of 23 combat robots, and the other side lost about 10 weapon platforms." The Voyager reported.
"Yes, Uncle Captain." Ralph complimented, "All at once the loss was cut in half." ”
Zhou Xinzhi looked at the thirty boxes representing weapon platforms left on the screen, and said with a wry smile, "But according to this ratio, the rest of the combat robots still can't beat them." Moreover, I found a lot of problems in the command just now, my instructions have to be transmitted to the robots through the Voyager, and the delay in the command causes the robots to move slowly, which has a serious impact on their dodging attacks, and at the same time, if I control so many robots, I can only adjust their formation, and in terms of attack, they are completely in a state of free attack, and sometimes the platform that could have been destroyed can survive in this case. ”
"But Uncle Captain, you have at least reduced your losses."
"But this is only the first wave." Zhou Xin said helplessly, "Who knows if there is a battle waiting for us in the back, it is impossible to rely on my command every time, and every time such a command is carried out, I need to pay full attention, once is okay, if I come a few more times, I will make more and more mistakes." ”
"That's not going to work." Ralph said disappointedly, "Then what else can we do to get in?" ”
"There's nothing I can do about it for the time being." Zhou Xin replied, "After all, those combat platforms on the other side are intelligent machines, and if you want to deal with intelligent machines, you must at least be intelligent machines." ”
This is Spred said: "Isn't Chang'e an intelligent robot, can't you install Chang'e's system on all robots." ”
"Nope." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly and told them about Chang'e's shortcomings.
Then, they began to discuss how to enter the command module, and the researchers also put forward a lot of opinions, but they were mostly whimsical ideas, or ideas that would take a long time to complete, and they still couldn't come up with a good way to do it for a long time.
"Ahh After more than an hour of discussion, Ralph shouted impatiently, "I haven't thought about it for so long, it's a stupid robot, I might as well operate it." ”
"What did you just say?" Zhou Xin was thinking about it just now, and he didn't hear Ralph's words clearly, but it seemed that Ralph's words reminded him of something.
"I mean, what stupid robots."
"No, no, it's the next sentence."
"Why don't I do it?" Ralph thought for a moment and said.
Hearing this, an idea popped up in Zhou Xin's heart, he turned his head to stare at Ralph, she was embarrassed to see it, and then he said slowly: "Maybe there is a way to try." ”
"What way." Spred: They asked in unison.
"Do you want to operate those battle robots?" Zhou Xin asked Ralph.
"What a joke." Ralph exclaimed, "Uncle, it's so difficult for you to operate those robots, how can I do it?" ”
"No, no." Zhou Xin shook his head, "I'm not kidding, and I didn't ask you to operate all the robots, you only need to operate one of them." Then he said to everyone, "What about you, do you want to try it?" ”
"You mean we operate a robot to fight?" Spred asked tentatively.
"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "That's what it means, since I can't operate it alone, then I can operate one by one." Zhou Xin looked at Ralph, "Moreover, Ralph didn't they operate the detector before, and I thought of this before I thought that I could try it." ”
Spred thought for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Sounds like it works - or else - try it." ”
"Then give it a try......"
