The universe is always pitch black, and although there are many stars in the universe, they can only illuminate a small area near themselves, and they cannot do anything about most of them.

Darkness and coldness are the norm in the universe.

Just now, more than twenty light-years from the sun, a formation of more than two dozen spaceships is slowly advancing in the darkness of space. It seemed to be a void, it seemed to belong to the vast void between the stars, there was nothing here except cosmic rays and the void quantum that appeared and disappeared like ghosts, but this spaceship formation moved very slowly and solemnly, as if there was some terrifying monster hidden in the endless darkness.

"According to the information of the "Lyra" deep space monitoring system, the distance between us and the vanguard of the robot group has been shortened to within a light day. I ask all personnel to stay at their posts and be ready to fight the robot group at any time. ”

Orders that left no room for rotation were issued from the flagship command room and then relayed to each ship in the ship formation. After this order, the oppressive and heavy atmosphere was much thicker.

In the midst of this slow advance, suddenly a hurried voice sounded in the captain's room: "Report to the commander, our curvature space exploration satellite has detected the following space fluctuations, through calculations, we confirm that in front of us two billion kilometers away, there is a mass of unidentified matter with a mass of about three billion tons that is traveling faster than light at twice the speed of light, and it is expected to meet us in eight hours, according to calculations, we think." This mass of unidentified matter is probably made up of 150 million robots......"

"I command. The fleet stopped advancing. And turn on reverse acceleration, ready to enter the faster-than-light state at any time...... The implementation of the plan A phase began, and the space fluctuation mines, armed satellites, etc., began to be launched, with coordinates of ...... The range is ......"

Orders were sent out in an orderly manner, and the fleet faithfully carried out the commander's orders. The fleet began to accelerate in reverse and dropped a variety of weapons - which would automatically attack the Robot Syndicate as it passed by, forcing them out of their faster-than-light state.

After all this arrangement. Once again, the fleet fell silent. But the silence only lasted for a dozen hours, and after the silence, a series of signals were transmitted from the mine placement point to the fleet, letting the people in the fleet know that the weapons that had been arranged in advance had been triggered, and they exploded in the dark universe as if they were preset, and ended their lives after a violent explosion of light and heat.

As for how much damage these weapons have done to the robot syndicate, people are not too concerned. Because these trigger-type weapons are purpose-built, they were developed by the scientists of human civilization on the basis of the wrong technology tree, and they all have their own fatal flaws. Therefore, the power must not be strong. Their mission is simply to force the Robot Group out of the faster-than-light state and transfer some information about their own materials science to the Robot Group.

"The Lyra Deep Space Monitoring System indicates. The Robot Group has escaped the faster-than-light state and has discovered us. Another message was sent to the commander, "The robot group is currently chasing us, and it is expected to be within our range in two days." ”

"Good." The commander replied, "I order, to carry out one last pre-battle inspection and preparation, and to start the feeding program in two days' time." ”

The robot group is known for its numbers, but the army of robots encountered by this fleet is only about 150 million units. This is a clear indication that the robots are just a vanguard, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter which bot the information is leaked to, as long as they're not too far away from each other. There is no difference between one robot getting the latest technology and 100 million robots getting the latest technology. Because any technology will be transferred to the entire robot group at the fastest speed.

A day later, another command came from the commander: "Start releasing the spy robots, activate them ten minutes after release, and copy the latest data about the group of robots into their core chips." ”

Hundreds of thousands of spy bots were released into space, and after a brief silence, the bots were activated and received the latest data about the bot syndicate. So they immediately simulated what a normal robot should do in such a situation - chase the fleets of human civilization.

Whether in appearance or behavior, they are no different from real robots, except for some differences in the core chip code, and it is precisely because of this difference that they belong. They are in the service of human civilization, they will steal the intelligence of the robot group and send it to humans, they are real spies.

In the robot empire, the number of robots is too large, and too large a large number will inevitably make their friend or foe identification system have vulnerabilities, and it is precisely because of this vulnerability that spy robots are born.

"Report to the Commander that the spy bots have managed to infiltrate the bot syndicate without any suspicion. Communication, communication, broadcasting, etc. within the robot group can also be received by them, and the Lyra Deep Space Monitoring Network sends a confirmation message confirming that they have received the information fed back by the spy robot......"

"Good."

"The robot is already in range and ready to start fighting. Ship No. 1 occupies the following positions, with a firepower ratio of ...... Second Ship ......"

Robots appeared in front of the fleet commander like demons emerging from the depths of hell. It was only now that the fleet commander had seen the demon that had caused the entire human civilization to fall into a panic. The fleet commander's mind fluctuated, but the voice never fluctuated, and he had been calmly directing the battle.

Directing this battle was not difficult for a well-trained and experienced commander like him. Because the core of this time the battle is not about "fighting", but in the rest. From the beginning to the end, the commander had no intention of starting a duel with the robots, and all the commander had to do was to carry out the mission, and then escape with the help of the speed far beyond the robot group.

The commander divided the mission into three phases, the first of which was to launch a fire strike. This is the standard "feeding" process set by the Science Affairs Committee, because only when it shows offensive capabilities that exceed the level of robotics technology, the robot group will start to evolve and actively seek to evolve, so as to digest and absorb these technologies.

The all-out assault had begun, the artillery fire began to roar, and the hideous robots were destroyed one by one, and the intense flames and violent explosions almost covered a radius of thousands of kilometers.

The fleet fought and retreated, and in the process of retreating, a ship gradually fell behind the fleet as if it had been damaged by the flames of war, and after a period of time, it fell into the encirclement of the robot group.

The ship resisted hard, but in the face of the overwhelming army of robots, its resistance did not help. Moments later, its fire stopped, its power was lost, and the robots destroyed its outer structure and penetrated deep into its interior......

The commander has been watching this process with a cold eye. After confirming that the ship had been captured by the robots, the commander issued a new order: "The feeding mission is complete, the fleet will accelerate from now on, and in an hour it will enter a faster-than-light state and return to the nearest military base to us." ”

There was not a trace of waves, nor a bit of thrill, and the task of feeding was completed. And this is happening in thousands of different places at the same time, within a few tens of light-years with the solar system at its core. Thousands of bots have been fed by human civilization and have been planted with a large number of spy bots.

The Lyra's deep space monitoring network monitors the robots' movements and receives information from the spy robots. Under the work of tens of millions of spy robots, all the information about the robot group has been obtained by human civilization, and the scientific affairs committee headed by Xiao Yun will use this information as the basis to formulate follow-up feeding and combat plans.

Feeding programs don't always go smoothly. The Lyra deep space monitoring network is not perfect, it does not have the ability to fully monitor the vast star field spanning tens of light years, there will always be some robots that escape the monitoring of the deep space monitoring network, and quietly come to a place that no one knows, in the blind spot of human civilization.

This resulted in the destruction of seventeen feeding fleets due to an accidental encounter with a robot group, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of soldiers. Fortunately, human civilization has long taken this into account, so all the spaceships that carry out feeding missions are specially made, and the most advanced means are used to carry out "technological encryption", so there is no need to worry too much about the problem of human civilization's orthodox technology being stolen by robot groups.

Xiao Yun knew that as the evolutionary trap plan continued, the number of fleets destroyed due to accidental encounters with the robot group would continue to rise. But there is no way to do it, as General Emak once said, to fight...... How can there be immortals? (To be continued.) )
