Chapter 316: Choice
After Xiao Yun said his judgment, the battle conference room immediately fell silent.
General Emak opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally he didn't say it. Another staff officer said, "Xiao Yun, how sure is your judgment?" ”
"At least 70 percent sure." Xiao Yun said eagerly, "You can imagine that if you were to make this value judgment system, would you choose to judge the value of a target based on the enemy's reaction when the specific indicators cannot be quantified?" Only...... For example, if you are a robber and you break into the house of a rich man, but you don't know which is the most valuable thing, in this case, do you choose the most protected thing or the one that you throw in the corner? ”
The staff officer thought for a moment, and finally said, "There is no doubt that I will choose the most protected thing. But all of this is based on the fact that I don't understand the specific value of things, and in the current situation, how do you be sure that the robot group does not have a practical value judgment system, but relies on our reactions to make value judgments? ”
"Two reasons." Xiao Yun said without hesitation, "First, I am an expert in artificial intelligence, and I have a deep understanding of the logic of judging the value of items in program code, although the genius's judgment logic is not necessarily the same as mine, but I don't think there will be much difference in the most fundamental things." A spaceship is a very complex thing, and it is difficult to use things such as size, firepower, etc. Whether the power is strong or not to judge the value. Even if you can set up a perfect algorithm with these many parameters. It must also be huge, then it is not cost-effective, far less intuitive and simple than "relying on the enemy's reaction to judge the size of the value". The second reason is...... Even if the Robotics Group doesn't rely on what I'm saying to make value judgments, so what? Don't forget, we're just trying at the moment, and after a failed attempt, we still have a chance to self-destruct, and since the worst outcome is nothing more than self-destruction, why don't we try? ”
After hearing Xiao Yun's words. General Emmerke's eyes immediately narrowed, and his voice became solemn: "Xiao Yun, tell me, how long will it take you to make this attempt?" How long does it take to get specific data? ”
"Five minutes, I only need five minutes!" Xiao Yun said loudly, "Five minutes is enough!" And five minutes is not enough time to delay our self-destructive process! ”
"Good! Then do what you say and give it a try! General Emak said in a categorical tone, "The worst outcome is nothing more than self-destruction, and in that case, what do we have to fear!" Then you tell me. How? ”
"It's easy! Command all the remaining ships to give up all protection against the Earth-class spacecraft and drive the Earth-class spacecraft to the front line of the battlefield. Directly involve Earth-class ships in the war against the robot group! Also, while driving the earth-class spaceship to the front line of the battlefield, control any spaceship to occupy the position of the earth-class spaceship, and at the same time, control all the other spaceships to carry out all-round protection of the spaceship! ”
After saying his vision, Xiao Yun suddenly realized something he hadn't thought of before. It was precisely this that made Xiao Yun's heart sink again, and his mouth was immediately closed, and the rest of the words were not spoken.
Xiao Yun looked at General Emek and found that General Emmerke's expression was a little distorted, and under the distortion was Xiao Yun's clearly perceptible pain. Xiao Yun looked at the staff officers in the battle conference room, and saw that those staff officers were also gloomy.
Obviously...... General Emak and the staff officers also thought of the point that Xiao Yun had missed before.
The atmosphere in the war room was once again dull and eerie. Everyone is aware of this, but at the moment, no one is saying this.
There is an old saying that if you don't suffer from poverty, you will suffer from inequality. To take a simple example, if there are ten loaves of bread divided evenly among ten people, and each person gets one loaf of bread, everyone will be fine, but if you change the distribution method to give two of them three loaves each, and the remaining eight people will have half a loaf of bread each, then there is a high chance that these ten people will have a dispute. If you give the eight people who only get half of the bread a choice, that is, if you don't want the half of the bread, those two people can't get three pieces of bread, then ...... There is a high probability that these eight people will choose to get nothing for themselves and want others to get nothing.
From the point of view of absolute rationality, the wisest choice is undoubtedly to take this half of the cake in your own hands, because this realizes the appreciation of your own interests, after all, you have gained benefits, but the human heart is a thing that is difficult to describe, everything is afraid of comparison, compared with the three cakes obtained by others, the half of the cake you get not only can not bring psychological comfort to yourself, but will produce a psychological gap, and this psychological gap is enough to erase the growth of the real benefits brought by the half of the cake.
Switch back to the current situation...... The plan Xiao Yun said is undoubtedly worth a try, anyway, even if the attempt fails, it is a big deal to self-destruct, and there is no loss to oneself, but if it succeeds, the earth-class spacecraft and some spaceships can escape, so as to achieve a positive harvest in the overall interests.
But don't forget that the fleet is not a complete whole, it is made up of more and smaller individuals. And Xiao Yun's plan inevitably requires a part of the spacecraft to take the initiative to make sacrifices and take the initiative to take on the task of attracting the attention of the robots, and this part of the spacecraft is doomed to be destroyed, and they have no reason to survive.
To put it more simply, it was originally that everyone was going to die, no one was exempt, everyone was the same, and it didn't matter, but now...... Some ships have a 50% chance of surviving, while the rest of them still have a 00% chance of surviving...... So, on what basis?
Why should you escape and we die? It's not fair. It's fairest when everyone dies.
This is a big question, and it is precisely because of this thought that General Emak and the operational staff officers, as well as Xiao Yun, will be silent. Because at this moment, these people in the war room have to make the most difficult choice, and this choice will determine which people, which ships, will have a chance to live, and which people, which ships must die.
Time is slipping away bit by bit, and every second of time that passes is extremely precious, and if it continues to delay, it is likely that there will be no time to even try, and at that time, the fleet of human civilization will ...... Completely extinguished.
The only one who could make this choice was Admiral Emmerk, who was the supreme commander of the fleet. Therefore, at this moment, everyone, whether it was the operational staff officers or Xiao Yun, set their eyes on General Emek.
In these hundreds of years of military career, General Emmerk does not know how many decisions have been made, any one of those orders may be related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, in those decisions, General Emmerk has never hesitated, after all, in war, where there are immortals, but now, General Emmerk hesitated.
Because...... In this selection, the selected ships are not going to carry out any extremely risky, extremely dangerous missions - even the most dangerous missions still have a chance of survival, but this time it is different, this time it is 100% dead, and under the siege of the robot army, those selected people and the ship will not have the slightest chance of survival.
It wasn't just that made General Emak hesitate. General Emak knows that no matter how he chooses, the earth-class spacecraft will definitely not be selected, because the earth-class spacecraft has the highest value, and even in the entire human civilization, there are only three earth-class spaceships, whether it is military or political, the earth-class spacecraft cannot afford to lose.
Whereas...... General Emak is on top of the earth-level spaceship, and keeping the earth-class spaceship is equivalent to saving General Emek himself.
If he had a choice, General Emmerk would have preferred to be on top of another ship, so that General Emmerk would be able to give the order to keep the Earth-class spaceship without the slightest psychological barrier, and at the same time let the ship he was riding on die generously. But now the situation is just the other way around, so after this order is given, General Emak will definitely wear a hat of "sacrificing his subordinates to save his own life". And this hat is even more unbearable for General Emak than killing him.
No one wanted to carry the hat, and everyone in the war room could run away from it, but General Emmerk. Because General Emmerk is the commander-in-chief of the whole army.
Time was still passing bit by bit, and the atmosphere in the war conference room was still dull and depressing. No one spoke, and all eyes were on General Emmerk.
General Emak suddenly laughed, and his voice began to become flat and soft: "This responsibility has always been my responsibility, as a commander, I should not use my own emotions as the basis for command...... There is only one thing that can be used as a basis, and that is reason. ”
"So...... Convey my order, all ships will be regrouped in the following way, the new formation will be centered on the "Blue Mountain" spacecraft, and all the remaining ships will have to protect the Blue Mountain spacecraft with all their might......" (To be continued. )
