Chapter 350: Sample Size

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket?"

After hearing this, Xiao Muhong was slightly stunned, and then fell into thought. And the Führer, apparently, did not think of anything because of this statement. The Führer looked at Xiao Muhong, and finally fixed his somewhat puzzled gaze on Xiao Yun, who was still lying on the hospital bed.

"Why?" The Führer asked, "Why is this strategy so that the evolutionary trap scheme can be invalidated?" ”

Xiao Yun sighed, and then said, "That's the case...... Monarch. You should know that the key to the question we discussed earlier has always been one point, that is, whether there is a way for a robot that only has mechanical judgment ability to judge the usefulness of the technology it obtains. Mu Hong believes that robots have no way to judge the usefulness of the technology they have obtained, so the evolutionary trap scheme will inevitably succeed, and I think that robots do not need to have such abilities, so the evolutionary trap scheme will inevitably fail. ”

The Führer thought hard for a while, but finally shook his head: "I still don't quite understand what you mean. I'm not a researcher, so please tell us about your idea in a simple and clear way. And this will have a bearing on the overall strategic arrangement of our human civilization in the future. ”

The success of the evolutionary trap scheme is related to the future fate of human civilization, and this matter cannot be left to the discretion of the Führer.

"I think I see what you mean." At this time, Xiao Muhong's expression suddenly became heavy. This change in expression made the Führer's mind also fall into the endless abyss.

Although the Führer still still does not understand what the so-called eggs and baskets mean, there is no doubt that Xiao Muhong understands. And at this moment, Xiao Muhong's tone and expression became so heavy...... Doesn't this prove that what Xiao Yun said is right?

At this moment, the Führer had a feeling that all thoughts were lost. More than 100 years of planning, the consumption of infinite resources, and the hard work of countless geniuses...... Is it all in vain?

Today, the entire human civilization is cheering for victory and celebrating that human civilization has crossed another major obstacle...... And you're telling me that the evolutionary trap scheme has failed? All our efforts have been done in vain?

A surge of anger rose in the Führer's heart, but this anger was instantly buried by the powerlessness that followed it. If...... If even the evolutionary trap scheme fails, what other way can human civilization face the endless army of robots?

"I have to admit that we all missed that in the beginning...... Indeed, robots do not need to have the ability to discern whether technology is useful or not, they only need to adopt this strategy to avoid evolutionary trap attacks......" Xiao Muhong's tone was even lower, "Führer, although we don't want to admit it, but, but...... I still have to say that the evolutionary trap scheme ...... Maybe...... It's really going to fail......"

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket, it's just a common saying, but the meaning behind it is important. Put this strategy on the robot group, and that's ...... After acquiring a technology, not all robots choose to evolve according to that technology...... As long as a certain percentage of robots do not evolve, they will not fall into the evolutionary trap. ”

"That's it." Xiao Yun nodded, "Let's assume that this ratio is one in a thousand, and the total number of robots is one thousand, when the robot group captures technology one, there will be one robot that chooses not to evolve, and the remaining nine hundred and ninety-nine robots choose to evolve, and when the robot group captures technology two, there will also be one robot that chooses not to evolve and only the rest of the robots choose to evolve...... Note that the robot that chooses not to evolve is not the same as that of technology 1 and technology 2, it is possible that robot A did not evolve technology 1 but chose to evolve technology 2, and robot B may have evolved technology 1 but did not evolve technology 3. In this way, no matter how ingenious the evolutionary trap scheme we set, there will always be some robots in the robot group that do not follow our predetermined technological path, and they will naturally not be destroyed because of the evolutionary trap. ”

This strategy does not conflict with the principle that "robots should copy themselves as their first priority, and technological evolution is the most important means of replicating themselves". Xiao Muhong said in a low tone, "So...... If the bot syndicates do adopt this strategy, then they can indeed defend themselves against evolutionary trap attacks. ”

The Führer keenly grasped a key point from this sentence: "So, has the robot group adopted this strategy?" Don't forget, when the evolution trap experiment was carried out in the Ether base, the robot base was as high as billions, and none of these billions of robots were spared under the attack of the evolution trap, and all of them died! ”

Obviously, if the Robot Group really had that strategy, a small number of robots should have survived when the experiment was conducted at the Arisis base. The truth is, the original robot did not survive.

Xiao Muhong and Xiao Yun glanced at each other, and both of them shook their heads. Obviously, the two of them had already thought of this.

"None of the robots at the base of the god were spared...... It doesn't mean that the robot group hasn't adopted this strategy. Xiao Yun said very seriously, "Führer, you must know that although billions of robots are a large number, they are still not worth mentioning compared to the real robot army. The difference between the two can be hundreds of billions or even trillions of times. All of the robots at the base died due to the lack of samples. ”

"Yes, that doesn't mean anything." Xiao Muhong said, "The characteristics of robots determine that as long as one robot survives, they can re-develop in a very short period of time, and at this moment, the number of robot groups that we have detected around the solar system alone is as high as hundreds of trillions, and among these hundreds of megabytes, even if there is only one trillionth of robots, that is, only a few hundred robots survive, they will also develop again in a short time." And there are only a few hundred robots in the vast universe, how can we find them? -- We can't know where they're hiding. ”

"But we're still not sure, are we?" The Führer stepped up and said, "We don't know for sure if all of the robots at Base Eri died because they didn't adopt this strategy or because they did so, simply because of the insufficient sample size. This proves that there is still a chance that the evolutionary trap scheme can still be successful. ”

Xiao Yun and Xiao Muhong glanced at each other again, and the two sighed again.

"Führer, you need to know who the enemy we are facing. It was a genius copied based on Chairman Xiao Yun, and there may be a huge genius think tank behind it, this group does not know how deep its scientific and technological strength is, and it took them more than a hundred years of secret planning to finally create the demon of infinite replication robots...... I don't think they'll slip through the cracks on evolutionary traps. Xiao Muhong sighed and said, "Alas...... If it weren't for Chairman Xiao Yun proposing this strategy, I would have always thought that the evolutionary trap scheme was invulnerable. ”

"It doesn't make sense to say these things now." "Overall, I think the probability that the robotics group will adopt this strategy is at least 90 percent. Or, even if the bot syndicate has only a 1 percent chance of adopting this strategy, we don't need to be prepared for it? I think the main thing for us now is to talk about countermeasures. ”

"What else can we do...... "The smallpox virus plan has failed, and the evolutionary trap plan has a major loophole?" Don't...... Do you really want to carry out an escape plan, abandon the solar system, abandon all the satellite galaxies, and then leave this mess to the ethereal super-civilization that may exist in the galaxy to deal with? ”

Originally, this plan was proposed along with the smallpox virus plan and the evolutionary trap plan, but this plan was eventually merged with the Fugitive Affairs Committee and stored as the final reserve plan.

The Führer's words were full of hesitation and uncertainty, but all three of them knew in their hearts that if it really couldn't be done...... Fleeing is the last and only way out.

This vast universe, the endless sea of stars, will provide everything that human civilization needs. But it's not easy to get these things. Human civilization has come at an unimaginable cost.

Wandering among the stars, becoming a rootless duckweed, constantly wandering, constantly fleeing, until the ethereal super alien civilization intervenes to destroy the robot group. Perhaps a super alien civilization will never appear, so human civilization will only be weakened in endless escapes, until the entire galaxy is occupied by the robot group, and there is no place to escape, and finally disappear in the endless starry sky......

Different choices mean different endings, and the Führer does not know what the outcome of these choices will be in the future. But as the head of human civilization, this choice must be made by the head of state himself.

"So be it." The Führer silently said, "I will convene another large-scale meeting tomorrow to bring together all the elites of human civilization to discuss this matter." The question of where human civilization should go and which path it should choose will be decided at tomorrow's meeting. ”

"I'll definitely be there tomorrow." Xiao Yun said. (To be continued.) )
