Ever since the evolutionary trap scheme was confirmed to work, and all robots around the solar system were "swept away" by that harvest signal, human civilization began to celebrate in a grand way. And the celebration has not ended until now. Whether it's on Earth or Mars, or Venus, Mercury, the heavy industry bases, and the islands of space, there are people celebrating everywhere. The sword of the "robot crisis" has been hanging over the head of human civilization for more than 100 years, and now that the crisis has been lifted suddenly, no matter who you are, you will feel relaxed from the bottom of your heart.

But the celebratory atmosphere did not affect the people who were attending the meeting in the city hall of the capital city of the planet. The outside world is a sea of joy, but here, it is an icy abyss.

This is the feeling felt by every attendee who has just received the message, and no one is exempt. The sun outside was warm and warm like spring, while the cold wind was howling in the conference room, heavy and oppressive.

"That's the case." Xiao Yun said with a heavy face, "To sum up, I think that the robot group is probably not completely destroyed by us, in a corner around the solar system, there may be a few surviving robots quietly moving, and by the time we find them, their number may have grown to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions......"

After Xiao Yun finished his report, the head of state next to him took over Xiao Yun's words: "So, what should we do now?" ”

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke.

In the silence, the Führer's words continued to echo: "What should I do? What to do? ”

Finally...... What to do?

Anyone in this room is a pivotal figure in human civilization, and they have made significant achievements in their respective fields, or they are high-ranking government officials, and any strategy they develop can affect the fate of tens of millions of people, and their scientific achievements can change the lives of countless people...... They are absolute elites. The fate of human civilization is also in the hands of such a group of people.

If this group of people can't come up with a solution to the problem, then no one in the entire human civilization will be able to do it. Because they hold the highest power, the most resources, and...... The most outstanding wisdom.

The problem is intractable, and it is difficult or even hopeless to solve it, but there is no reason for this group of people to run away from it.

After the silence, Xiao Muhong said: "There is actually no way for us to confirm whether the robot group has adopted this strategy - the inference is always just an inference, no matter how reasonable and convincing the inference is, as long as there is no realistic evidence, then it can only be an inference." In this way, our situation and the risks we face can be categorized into one of two categories. ”

"One, flee in a hurry, but in fact, the robot group did not adopt this strategy, the robots around the solar system have been destroyed by evolutionary traps, and we have abandoned our hometown in vain, and we have done the risk of useless work."

"Second, we chose not to flee, but in fact, the robot group adopted this strategy, and then made a comeback and surrounded us, so that we could not escape and finally be destroyed in the solar system."

"To flee or not to flee, that's a big question." Xiao Muhong continued, "Every choice has its advantages and its Achilles' heel, so to speak...... Each option carries a lot of risk. However, the so-called lesser of two evils, I personally think...... We should choose to flee. ”

"Because, even if the robots don't adopt that strategy, and we choose to flee, the problem we face is just a waste of some resources, delay some time for the development of science and technology, the foundation of our human civilization will not be shaken, and we will not at least face the risk of extinction. If we choose not to flee, our future destiny will only be to choose between perishing or not perishing, which ...... This is too risky. ”

"I don't agree to flee."

After Xiao Muhong's words were finished, in the front row of the conference room, a gray-haired old man stood up and expressed a completely different opinion from Xiao Muhong. Xiao Yun glanced at it and recognized the old man.

He is the President of the Academy of Human Civilization. Although he has long since ceased to participate in specific scientific research due to his age, he is still the most famous in the scientific community of human civilization.

Speaking of which, whether it is Xiao Yun or Xiao Muhong, they can be regarded as his juniors.

Although his views are contrary to his own, Xiao Muhong still shows enough respect for him. Xiao Muhong bent over the old man, and then closed his mouth. The old man nodded to Xiao Muhong, and then continued: "I don't want to explain the importance of the earth and the solar system to our human civilization through some humanistic and spiritual sustenance, it doesn't make sense. What I want to say is, have we all really thought about the impact of leaving our homeland and becoming a wandering civilization on our civilization? ”

The conference room was quiet, and everyone was listening carefully to the old man's words.

"I'm sure...... If we choose to flee, we will be different from the moment our human civilization takes its first steps out of the solar system. The difference is not in the degree of development of technology, or the nature of civilization has only been changed or anything like that, I think that becoming a wandering civilization will have a comprehensive and far-reaching impact on our civilization, and this is likely to lead to the eventual demise of our civilization. ”

"The ever-expanding nature of robots determines that we can't stay in one place for too long, that is to say, we will become a real wandering civilization, and what we think about every time we go to a galaxy is not how to build this galaxy better, what we think about may only be how to extract as many resources as possible from this galaxy in the shortest possible time, and everything else, such as the recycling of resources, the ecological protection of the native galaxy, etc., will not be in our consideration. This means that we will turn into a predatory civilization. ”

"The constant search for resources, the harsh cosmic environment we face, and the sense of urgency to flee, all of these things will add up to a comprehensive and radical change in our civilization, our value system, our moral values, everything that we think is very important, such as loyalty, trust, friendliness, family affection, etc., everything will disappear and disappear, because of the loss of home, the sense of identity of "human civilization" will continue to decrease, in this case, The scarcity of resources inevitably leads to constant conflicts, and in the universe, the cost of division is extremely low - it is just a flight anyway, as long as you pull up a fleet and choose a different escape direction from the main fleet, you can complete a split, then ...... What does that mean, you know? ”

There was a low hum in the room. The president of the Academy of Sciences continued: "I don't think we have to question whether this will happen, it will happen, because this is human nature, and this is determined by what is engraved in our genes." ”

Xiao Yun was silent about this. Xiao Yun can understand the old man's words, and he also agrees with the old man's words. Obviously, in the case of scarce resources, the government will always only think about how to use these resources rationally for the benefit of the majority, and the individual will always be neglected, while the individual will always only think about the amount of resources allocated to him - no one can expect the members of civilization to have a sufficient sense of the big picture. In the case of the extremely low cost of secession, and the precariousness of the day, and the constant fear of fleeing all day long, there will be people in the civilization who will choose to divide - after all, as long as they gather a team to split from human civilization, the resources they have acquired can be distributed by themselves, and the careerists who initiated the division will also give priority to meeting their material needs in this distribution process.

No matter how far science and technology develop, as long as human civilization still exists, then careerists will not disappear. In the same way, in the whole universe, no matter what form of existence life is, as long as there is a demand, then there will be a fight. This has nothing to do with the degree of morality of civilization or the degree of science and technology.

There can be no civilization as pure as the White Lotus in the universe, the so-called power struggle, intrigue and trickery, these things do not mean that human civilization is "inferior", they are just a natural social phenomenon. Even if there is no "power struggle, intrigue, intrigue" in a certain civilization, that does not prove the nobility of that civilization, only that in their civilization, the struggle between individuals is expressed in other ways.

The emergence of things such as competition, strife, and power schemes is just a normal social phenomenon, and at some point they have a positive meaning and can promote the better development of human civilization, but that is only under normal circumstances. If human civilization chooses to become a wandering civilization...... Then these things will become a noose for the destruction of human civilization.

Every time there is a division, human civilization is weakened, and every weakening leads to a worse environment, which in turn leads to more divisions, and so on forms a vicious circle. And human civilization will be consumed all flesh and blood in such a vicious circle, and perhaps human civilization will have died out without waiting for the robot group to attack human civilization.

"Never hope too much for the humanity of a group." The old man said slowly. (To be continued.) )
