There is no doubt that the genius exists, but it is debatable whether the robot army has the ability to evolve itself. Xiao Yun believes that regardless of whether they have this ability or not, whether they decide their destination by the program's self-judgment or the destination determined by the genius, their target will be the Rag 728 galaxy.

Needless to say, if there is that genius, even if it is the self-procedural judgment of the robots, it is obvious that they chose the Rag 728 galaxy. Because the robot's self-program judgment is to replicate itself more and faster as the ultimate goal, under this premise, the Rag 728 galaxy is the most suitable for the requirements.

So far, the response strategy, the judgment of the enemy's behavior, and other things have been almost discussed. But the dreary atmosphere in the conference room remained unchanged.

There is a more heavy topic in front of everyone, and that is ...... The robots in the Raqqa system left the Raqqa system at least fifty years ago.

The Lag 728 galaxy is located 8.9 light-years away from the Lagqa galaxy. At twice the speed of light, it means that the robot group has reached its destination at least forty years ago.

Whereas...... The robots in the initial stage can mine the resources of the planet Raqqa in about a hundred years, so in more than 40 years, more than 1 trillion robots, what will evolve into the Rag 728 galaxy? The number of bots there...... And how much?

Faced with a number of robots like a sea of stars...... Can this expeditionary fleet of human civilization really succeed in assassinating that genius?

This is a heavy, but unavoidable topic. Staff officers here. and Xiao Yun. And General Emek is well aware of this. But now no one has brought this up.

The fate of a soldier is to die on the battlefield, just like the previous staff officer said, "exchange our lives for the life of that genius...... It's worth it. ”

Even if all speculations were correct, the success rate of the assassination plan was not high, but even if the success rate was not high, General Emmerk still decided to carry out the assassination plan. Because the significance of the assassination plan is too great, and it is too important for human civilization. This could be a matter of life and death for human civilization, General Emmerk believes. For the sake of the assassination plan, it is worth burying the entire expeditionary fleet in this sea of stars.

Xiao Yun has a different view on this. Xiao Yun thought that it didn't matter whether he killed the genius or not, because Xiao Yun believed that the robots already had the ability to evolve themselves. But unfortunately, no one will believe Xiao Yun until there is evidence or conjecture. Even Xiao Yun himself only deduced this from some clues.

"That's it, adjournment." General Emak said, "One last search of the Raqqa system while preparations for the voyage begin." In a month's time, we'll be heading out for the Rag 728 system. ”

The participants dispersed in twos and threes. Xiao Yun also left the conference room with him.

The planet Raqqa is still shrouded in heavy clouds, and the last month of a massive search for the planet Raqqa took place in total darkness. The searchers found something intermittently from the planet Raqqa. But these things are too fragmentary, and there is no way to find anything from them.

One thing that catches people's attention is that all the things that have been found, whether they are broken parts or complete limbs, show a clear technological difference between them. In other words, some materials are very advanced, while others are backward.

This at least proves that the strength of the robots is constantly increasing, and it is unknown whether this improvement in strength is due to self-evolution or the technological upgrade of the genius.

On the contrary, Xiao Yun found a little evidence from here to support his assertion: "You see, if the strength of the robots has increased because that genius has upgraded their technology...... Actually, there is a contradiction in this. The paradox is, why didn't that genius build the most advanced robots within his range from the start, but first build the backward robots, and then upgrade them through technological upgrades? Isn't that too much trouble? I think a more plausible explanation is that the genius started building backward robots to test their ability to improve their own technology. ”

"It's not a contradiction." General Emak retorted, "Maybe it's because it's more cumbersome to build the most advanced robots in the first place, and it's easier to build outdated robots and then upgrade them through a data interface?" Or maybe that genius builds outdated robots and then upgrades them just to test the reliability of the system of "upgrading robot technology through data interfaces"? In short, there are many possibilities, and I don't think it's useful to dive deeper than that. Having said that, isn't there a contradiction between the assumption that robots have the ability to evolve on their own compared to the current situation? Isn't there a way to test the robot's ability to upgrade itself by making the robot state-of-the-art in the first place? ”

General Emmerk's rebuttal made Xiao Yun fall into deep thought. Thinking about the past, Xiao Yun let out a long sigh and gave up his plan to find a breakthrough in this aspect. Indeed, as General Emmerk said, there are infinite possible explanations, and it is useless to dwell on this issue.

It's just that Xiao Yun still faintly feels that something is wrong. Xiao Yun always subconsciously thinks that the genius started to build backward robots, and then slowly upgraded them - whether this upgrade is a robot self-upgrade, or the genius upgrades through a data interface - there must be an important reason behind this move, and this reason is likely to be the key to cracking the "robot self-upgrade" method.

It is impossible to figure out this problem in a short period of time, and Xiao Yun can only record this doubt, and prepare to think slowly in the coming days.

A month passed quickly, and the day of the fleet's scheduled departure was on. Under the command of General Emek, more than 3,000 spaceships once again gathered around the Earth-class spacecraft, and then slowly left the Raqqa system in a conventional way. After leaving the gravitational influence of Raqqa and using faster-than-light sailing, the fleet will travel at twice the speed of light to the Rag 728 system, and if the prediction is correct, human civilization will start its first large-scale confrontation with the enemy in that system.

Standing in front of the porthole of the earth-class spaceship, Xiao Yun quietly looked at the darkness outside the window. It's no different from the cosmic space, it's starry and empty. But Xiao Yun knew that this place was actually different from other places, because there was a star and a planet nearby, but they were too faint for him to see.

Counting this time, I have already been here twice. When he first came here, his lover and companions were all killed, and his fate changed drastically, and after this time he came and left, his fate ...... What kind of change will it make?

Xiao Yun didn't know this, so Xiao Yun's eyes were a little confused. General Emak came behind Xiao Yun at this time, and then said, "Aren't you going to hibernate?" ”

Xiao Yun shook his head: "No, anyway, it's only more than four years, and it will be over soon." I won't hibernate during this time...... I'm going to find a way to make the robots evolve themselves to prove your strategy wrong. ”

General Emmerk patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, then sighed, shook his head and walked away. Xiao Yun continued to stand here, looking at the empty universe outside the porthole, and once again fell into thought.

"That genius...... What kind of methods will be used to allow robots to evolve themselves by bypassing the limitations of self-independence and the scientific system? Xiao Yun muttered to himself, "I think there will definitely be a way to achieve this, and this method must also be applied by that genius to the robot group." ”

"I don't think I'm any less intelligent than him, and obviously the genius thinks so, otherwise he wouldn't have challenged me. Case...... If you can think of this, why can't I? ”

"I still have more than four years to go, and as long as I find this solution in these four years or so, I can avoid unnecessary damage to the fleet." Xiao Yun thought silently, "And this...... It's important, it's very important for our human civilization. ”

After a period of regular sailing, the fleet finally left the gravitational influence of the Raqqa system, and the faster-than-light voyage began. When traveling faster than the speed of light, he could not see the outside world through the naked eye, and the scene that Xiao Yun saw changed from starry sky to pitch black.

But Xiao Yun still stubbornly stood in front of this pitch black, except for eating and resting and some other necessary things, Xiao Yun always stood here and never left. Xiao Yun is like one of those monks who shut himself in a secret room to participate in meditation and enlightenment, just thinking, thinking, and continuing to think every day.

The darkness in this boundless universe is the secret room where Xiao Yun is imprisoned. Until the hidden truth is unearthed, Xiao Yun will not leave here.

Xiao Yun quickly became haggard, Xiao Yun's hair and beard were long, and his clothes were no longer neat, but Xiao Yun's eyes were always bright and never changed. (To be continued.) )
