The battle was more like a one-sided slaughter. In the face of the weapons of war built by human civilization, robots are as vulnerable as ants. But both Xiao Yun and General Emak knew very well in their hearts that the slaughter was just a surface, and behind this appearance was the fact that the resources of the raid combat team were constantly being consumed.

What's the use of robots even if they slaughter more? Robots don't care about numbers, but raid teams can't afford to care about their own reserves and declining defense and attack power.

General Emak glanced at some of the data displayed on the screen and quickly made a judgment: "The raid team still has half an hour to go. If the battle can't be ended within half an hour, the follow-up reinforcements of the robot group will arrive, and Major Lin will be cut off from retreating, and the whole army will be wiped out there. ”

The staff team sent this judgment to the raid squad, but did not attach any orders from the main fleet. Obviously, General Emak believed that Major Lin would make the most correct judgment.

With almost half of the robot army wiped out, the raid squad finally had a new move. They no longer maintained a converging formation, but spread out a little, and then, on the premise of maintaining the formation, began to evacuate the Rag 728 galaxy very slowly.

This was not a rout, but a planned retreat, and precisely because it was planned, it did not bring additional casualties. When the raid team retreated to a certain distance, the robot legion that had been pestering them instantly dispersed, and then returned to the Rag 728 galaxy. Abandoned the assault on the raid squad.

Under the leadership of Major Lin. A series of moves by a raid combat squad. From the beginning of the offensive to the retreat, it was like a textbook standard. Although Xiao Yun did not understand military affairs, he also experienced the beauty of the whole battle process like art.

General Emak nodded approvingly: "I knew that Major Lin was the most suitable person to carry out this raid combat mission. In the entire battle, only one Fengyun-class ship and a few combat airships were lost, but the total number of enemies destroyed exceeded two million. ”

An operational staff officer added: "In addition, the assault team led by Major Lin also captured more than 30 complete robots - originally the number was as high as several thousand, but these robots were equipped with extremely perfect condition judgment self-destruction devices, and in the process of capturing, in addition to these more than 30 robots. The rest all self-destructed. ”

General Emak said: "It doesn't matter. There are more than 30 robots, which is enough for us to carry out analysis and research. ”

The raid team led by Major Lin returned to the fleet like heroes, and General Emmerk personally received Major Lin and gave him the corresponding honor, and after some encouragement to Major Lin, General Emmerk once again came to the analysis laboratory. The scientists in the fleet will carry out the overall analysis of the robot here, and Xiao Yun is also here to carry out the analysis of the code structure of the robot's core chip.

The fleet had already harvested a robot body that had lost its power some time before, and after a simple comparison between that robot and the robots that were now being captured, an obvious conclusion was immediately presented to everyone: "As we suspected, robots did evolve." The robot that had only crawled on the ground had the ability to crawl on the ground, but now the robots we captured have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light. Whether it's material science or structural science. Or computing technology...... They have all made a sea difference. ”

With this conclusion in mind, General Emmerk asks one of the most crucial questions: "What about the mechanism by which they evolve?" Is there a way to know for sure? In the end, they evolved because of genius. Or do they evolve on their own? ”

"There's no way to know for sure." "To determine this, we need to analyze the core code that governs their actions, and all the mysteries about the robot are hidden in the core code, and that's not my job, it's Xiao Yun's job to parse it." ”

General Emek looked at Xiao Yun with an inquiring gaze, and Xiao Yun said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, General Emek, I can't be sure of their evolution pattern either. Because of the code that is used to write the core program...... It's not any programming language that we already know. ”

"What does this mean?"

"This means that we can't parse the design ideas of the core programs and the specific implementation ideas for the time being, and we can't know what they actually mean." Xiao Yun said, "You know, just like the different languages used in our human civilization, it is much more difficult to decipher the meaning of a language than to design a new language. For example, suppose I create a new language system from this moment on, in which the pronunciation of "ah" represents "yes" and the pronunciation of "hu" represents no, I just give them a random definition to complete the design of a new language system, and ...... Without a lot of sample analysis and comparison, can you decipher the meaning of the two pronunciations "ah" and "hu" in the language system I designed? ”

"I can't." General Emak shook his head.

"So...... I don't have a way to decipher the meaning of the core programs that govern the actions of these robots. Xiao Yun said with a wry smile, "I can only vaguely perceive that it has a very complete and self-consistent logical system, and it is very complicated, so complex that I can't complete this work alone." Only by sending it to our civilization, with the help of the common wisdom of countless experts and scholars in our civilization, can we complete the work of cracking it. ”

"It takes decades for signals to travel back and forth, which means that it will take at least that long to do this with the help of our civilization, and obviously, we don't have that long to wait." General Emak spread his hands, "So...... We still can't be sure if the evolution pattern of these robots is correct? ”

Xiao Yun didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"Then it's still going according to the plan we made earlier." General Emak waved his hand and once again turned his gaze to the previous expert: "Through the analysis of the robot's body structure, have you come to any conclusions?" ”

"Conclusion......" the expert muttered, then said, "The body structure of these robots is so ingenious that it can be described as a work of art. But it's precisely because of their size that they're so fragile. This leads to...... Aside from their sheer numbers, the rest of them are simply useless. Here's the detailed combat power data we've analyzed for them, so you can take a look. ”

General Emak took the report, glanced at it casually, and said, "This combat power data is similar to the results we analyzed before. ”

"It's just a little bit of a doubt." "We noticed that the 30-odd robots were 99.99 percent similar, with only a few minor differences, which we believe may be due to the need for robot evolution." Merely...... Ninety-nine percent of this difference we can find their use, but only the remaining bits that we don't know what they are used for. ”

"Explain it in detail." General Emak said.

"That's right." The expert worked on his personal computer, and a stereoscopic projection appeared in front of everyone: "It's this little thing." ”

It was something smaller than a grain of rice, hidden in an intricate array of circuits and machinery, so inconspicuous that it would not be noticeable unless you looked closely.

"These robots are very delicate things, everything in their bodies has its own use, and there is no useless thing in them. And that's what it is...... We don't know what they do, it doesn't seem to function at all in the robot's body, it doesn't participate in any of the robot's internal operations, it's simply completely unnecessary, but I don't know why, it just exists, we found similar things inside the bodies of these more than 30 robots - they are different from each other, but the common thing is that they are "completely ineffective, completely unnecessary to exist". ”

As if he had thought of something, Xiao Yun immediately asked, "Is there such a thing in the robot we obtained in the Raqqa Galaxy?" ”

"Nope." The expert shook his head.

Xiao Yun nodded lightly: "Since that's the case...... That means that this kind of thing only appeared in the process of evolution of robots, and it is impossible for them to evolve useless things, that is...... This thing must have its uses. ”

The expert said helplessly: "The key point is here, we all know that it must have a reason for existence, but we don't know what the reason for its existence is." ”

Xiao Yun also said a little gloomily: "All the mysteries of the robot must be reflected in the core code program, as long as the core code program can be cracked, understand its design ideas and implementation methods, we can master all the mysteries of the robot, and we can also know what this thing is for, but unfortunately, we can't crack the core program at this stage."
