Chapter 299: Capture the Milky Way

Xiao Yun's two speculations point in two different directions, and these two different directions mean different ways to deal with them. As the supreme commander of the fleet, Admiral Emmerk had to choose the right direction possible. And now, there is no doubt that the hypothesis that "that genius has always been in the robot group" is more credible.

So...... Unless Xiao Yun can find a way to "increase the strength of robots without relying on scientific progress" to prove the feasibility of this model, otherwise, the future General Emmerk will arrange his next plan based on the assumption that "that genius has always been in the robot group".

Xiao Yun wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say it. General Emmerk issued the latest order: "Continue to analyze this robot, and in the meantime, continue to search on the planet Raqqa, and be sure to find everything that those robot monsters have left here." Meantime...... Order all the operational staff officers to come to the conference room, Xiao Yun, you come too. ”

After the order was given, it took less than ten minutes for all the operational staff officers and relevant personnel to gather in the conference room. General Emak first introduced the current situation, and then said: "There are two questions now, one, the destination of the infinite replication robots, that is, where they will go after leaving the Raqqa system; Second, what methods and strategies should we use to deal with these robots? You could comment on these two issues. ”

"There's no point in discussing the destinations of these robots." One of the operational staff officers was the first to express his opinion, "because...... Obviously, there can't be only one destination for these robots. ”

"Oh?" General Emak glanced at the staff officer. The staff officer continued: "If you, the general, or any of us here, are that genius, then...... Will we choose to fix only one destination? ”

The conference room fell silent for a moment. The staff officer continued: "If it were me...... I would choose a major major destination for the voyage and ...... Embark on a voyage to all the surrounding star systems. The main destination will concentrate most of the robots, and the rest of the destinations will only need to launch a very small number of robots. ”

General Emak whispered, "This is the worst-case scenario. ”

The staff officer shrugged his shoulders: "General." I'm sorry to tell you that the worst-case scenario has a 99% chance of happening. As long as the genius's head didn't twitch, he would have done it. ”

General Emak sighed deeply.

This is truly the worst-case scenario. Although the number of robot groups has reached trillions of dollars, they are actually still in the initial stage of development. If they could be locked down in a single star system and then annihilated, the crisis could be resolved. But...... What if they are already scattered?

The characteristic of the infinite replication robot is that it can quickly replicate itself. A star system doesn't need too many robots. Even if there is just one, the number of robots will exponentially exponentially over the course of a few decades, potentially even increasing to tens of trillions. And this ...... It didn't cost much for the initial robotics group.

Think about it, taking one or a hundred from a group with trillions of robots, even if 100,000 robots go on a voyage, it will not have any impact on the robot group as a whole, because this is only a very small number compared to the entire robot group. And as soon as they can sail to their intended destination, their numbers will skyrocket. Other words. It's a very low-cost, high-yield approach, and there's no reason why that genius shouldn't.

And once he does this, he will plunge human civilization into a situation from which it will never recover. Because...... The genius probably had many goals in mind, and in the most extreme case, he might have set every star in the galaxy as his goal - after all, all the stars in the entire galaxy add up to just over 100 billion.

Of course, the reality is not so extreme. In the most likely scenario, then, that genius chose between 10,000 and 100,000 star systems as targets. Then one of these tens of thousands of star systems was selected as the main target. Next, he will send most of the robots to this main target - let's assume that the number of robots is 80 percent, then this number is more than 15 trillion robots, and the remaining 20 percent is more than 400 billion robots.

More than 400 billion robots are dispersed to a hypothetical 100,000 targets, so each target can be divided into more than 4 million units. Other words...... The most likely scenario at this moment is that more than 1.5 trillion robots have gone to the main target. And the rest of the 100,000 star systems ...... More than four million robots arrive in each star system.

One hundred thousand star systems is an impossible goal for human civilization in a short period of time. You know, all the galaxies that have been explored by human civilization add up to only a few hundred. Moreover, how many combat ships are there in total within human civilization? It is impossible for human civilization to send combat ships to every star system, that is...... The proliferation of robots has become irretrievably foregone conclusion.

This is the most desperate of all situations. Human civilization will only be able to watch these robots develop in those star systems, and watch them continue to multiply. All the way up to ...... Until all the star systems around him are taken over by robots. Human civilization will sink into a sea of robots.

An infinite replicating robot can eventually occupy a galaxy. And a robot developed by one star system can occupy 100,000 star systems. So...... How much range will robots developed from 100,000 star systems eventually occupy?

It was a very simple mathematical problem, and both General Emmerk and the staff officers came up with the answer to it in a very short time.

The ultimate answer is...... It won't be long before these robots will take over the entire galaxy, and the trend is unstoppable, at least not something that human civilization can stop.

The predicted gloomy outlook silenced the entire room. Everyone frowned tightly, trying to think about something. But no one can think of a way to deal with this situation. Xiao Yun couldn't think of a way to solve this problem, and not only that, Xiao Yun didn't think ...... The dilemma facing human civilization only ends there.

Don't forget, all of the above questions are based on the premise that "that genius is constantly upgrading the technology of the robot". And Xiao Yun doesn't think this premise is correct. Although he hadn't thought of a way to improve his strength without relying on the technology system and without self-awareness, Xiao Yun still firmly believed that the genius must have done this.

And if the final truth is what Xiao Yun envisioned...... The situation facing human civilization will be even worse. At that time, human civilization will not only face robots that will spread throughout the galaxy, but these robots will also evolve themselves and constantly improve their strength, and the process of improving their strength will not require anyone's interference.

This is a much more extreme case than that, and right now, the mere fact that robots "can't evolve themselves" are starting to despair if they can evolve themselves...... How bad will the situation be?

Xiao Yun just thought silently and did not express his opinion. Because Xiao Yun knows that he doesn't have any evidence or conjecture to prove that "robots can evolve themselves". But from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yun has already identified this.

"Although I don't know what that genius has to do with me and why he challenged me, I know ...... Geniuses must be proud. Xiao Yun thought silently, "Just like me...... Because I was a genius at the beginning. ”

"Since it's a genius...... Well, it's impossible for him to release these robots until he's perfected them. And only robots that can evolve themselves are perfect. Therefore, these robots must have the ability to evolve themselves. ”

The point of "independent self-consciousness" is formed by the natural evolution of the universe, and it is impossible for human civilization, or the creation of intelligent civilization, which is similar to human civilization. Therefore, the presence or absence of independent self-awareness does not affect the perfection of the robot. If that genius thinks that a robot can only be considered a perfect robot if it has an "independent sense of self", then he is no longer a genius, but a madman.

As an expert in artificial intelligence, Xiao Yun can make this judgment with great confidence.

It is impossible to make these robots have independent self-awareness, but it is possible to make these robots have self-evolution without relying on the scientific system without independent self-awareness, although Xiao Yun still does not know what this method is.

"I don't know who you are, but I still choose to accept your challenge." Xiao Yun thought silently, "Not only because you killed my lover and companions, but also because of human civilization...... On top of that, I'm also a genius. So, I'm going to have to find a way to destroy these robots. (To be continued.) )
