In the blink of an eye, years have passed in a hurry. The solar system is still calm, and under this calm there is still a tension and solemnity that "disaster is coming". However, the large-scale retreat has not yet begun, and there are still no human immigrants from extraterrestrial systems who have settled in the solar system and the surrounding ones, which are the most important and well-protected star systems.

Because the transmission of information also takes time, at this moment, the colonial galaxy farthest away from the solar system developed by human civilization has not even received a retreat order from the solar system, let alone officially started the retreat work. Even the few colonial galaxies that are relatively close to the solar system are just beginning to prepare at this moment.

Under such a spatial and temporal scale, as well as the huge scientific and technological framework developed by human civilization, any "major event" will take a long time that can hardly be imagined by the predecessors - just like the inhabitants of the earth in the era of the country, how could they imagine that it would take decades just to establish a cutting-edge deep space observatory at this moment?

It can be said that the retreat would not have been possible without a hundred years. Whereas...... It is unlikely that a head-to-head battle between the robot group and human civilization will happen within a hundred years.

The time left for human civilization to prepare seems to be very long, but in the same way, the time required for human civilization to prepare is also long, so 100 years is not a lot of time, and even a little urgent.

The focus of human civilization in this hundred years is the retreat mission, and the focus of the work after this hundred years is the war with the robot group. Countless people's lives and all their energy will be consumed by these two things. Countless people's lives will be centered around these two things.

The fate of all the babies born during this period of time has been predetermined, and they are destined to be busy with these two things all their lives. This may be a very sad and helpless thing. But there is no way around it, because ...... This is human civilization, a vast and magnificent human civilization.

Xiao Yun's life will also be branded as a "robot". The three words robot will leave a strong mark on Xiao Yun's life course, and compared to these three words, everything else in Xiao Yun's life seems so bleak.

Xiao Yun left the earth on a gloomy afternoon and came to the base of Pluto again. Today is a big day for the Science Affairs Committee led by Xiao Yun, because Pluto is here. The number of robots has reached a certain scale and they are ready for the next phase of the experimentation process.

Xiao Yun flew aimlessly aimlessly in a near-Earth spacecraft at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers above the surface of Pluto - a distance that was determined after analysis, because an altitude of 1,000 kilometers is the upper limit of the robot's ability to fly. If it is lower than this altitude, the robot can rely on its flight ability to get close to the spaceship that Xiao Yun is on, and this will bring many dangers to Xiao Yun.

The high-definition video cameras installed on the spacecraft bring the surface of Pluto to life on the big screen. Xiao Yun and his entourage sat in front of the screen and carefully observed the scene on the screen.

What was presented in front of Xiao Yun and the others was a terrifying scene. In this moment. Xiao Yun seemed to feel like he was back in the Rag 728 galaxy in a trance, and he was surrounded by countless robots again.

Because...... At this moment, Pluto is already covered with robots. The sky, on the surface, and even beneath Pluto, was bustling with robots with teeth and claws, their ugly insect-like bodies flying in the sky or wriggling on the ground and beneath the surface. It's like a bunch of demons.

And the landscape of Pluto has also been completely changed by the growth of the robot race. Compared to years ago, the peaks above Pluto have disappeared by at least hundreds. There are countless more ravines.

"At this moment, there are at least 300 billion robots on Pluto, and they have occupied all the living space above Pluto, whether it is the sky, the surface, or the underground. According to our model's calculations, Pluto has reached the upper limit of the number of robots it can carry. In other words...... If the technology of robots does not advance, their number will not increase further. A staff member reported to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun knew that the upper limit of the number mentioned by this staff member did not mean that the resources on Pluto could no longer be used to create more robots, in fact, if all the resources that make up Pluto were mined, it would not be a problem to create ten times more robots than at the moment. But...... There is no room for robots to live.

The so-called living space refers purely to the literal meaning, the number of robots is already too much, after all, they have a certain volume and also need a certain range of activities, and Pluto cannot provide such a vast space. The space in space is infinite, and countless robots can be placed there, but at the moment the robots do not have the ability to enter space activities.

"Program monitoring has shown that ...... The core code program inside the robot has raised the need for evolution to the highest, in other words, the robots at the moment are extremely eager to evolve, even to the point of giving up reproduction. ”

"Oh, not really." Xiao Yun said, "Robots have indeed raised their evolutionary needs to the highest at this moment, but don't forget that robots evolve to seek a larger living space, and the search for a larger living space is still for the purpose of reproduction, so from a long-term point of view, the highest demand of robots has always been to reproduce, and it has never changed." ”

"Yes." The staff member said, "So...... What's next? After all, the robots have stopped reproducing at this moment. ”

"They want to evolve, so let them evolve." Xiao Yun said softly, "Provide them with some technology to increase their range of activity to the point of 10,000 kilometers from the surface of Pluto." ”

"Okay." The staff member agreed, and sent a message of request to the fleet stationed around Pluto. There are enough military scientists in the garrison fleet, and they will pick out the right things for the robots to break down and analyze, that is, to meet the evolutionary needs, but not to let the robots over-evolve.

Eventually, several backward spacecraft, built according to technology that had long been obsolete and could only move within a certain distance of the planet's periphery, were driven out and then dropped into near-Earth space by military personnel less than a thousand kilometers from Pluto's surface.

As Xiao Yun had predicted, the spaceships were fiercely besieged by the robots as soon as they appeared, and they were destroyed ten minutes later. Spaceship parts are taken separately by hundreds of millions of robots, and then the analysis of these parts is carried out by hundreds of millions of robots at the same time.

No, it's not just these hundreds of millions of robots doing the analysis, but all the hundreds of billions of robots that are active on Pluto at the moment. Program monitoring shows that after these parts are obtained, all the detection information about them is immediately disseminated, so all the robots on Pluto know the structure of these parts, under the unimaginably advanced distributed system, these data that need to be further calculated are divided into hundreds of billions of parts, each robot undertakes a part of the calculation task, and after the calculation results will be summarized, and then broadcast to all robots.

This kind of distributed computing system that does not require a core host did not surprise Xiao Yun, because Xiao Yun had known this for a long time, and what really surprised Xiao Yun was the ability of these robots to understand and digest technology, as well as the ability to further verify and absorb technology.

When it comes to this, the robot's unique code program plays its role. Robots can understand what role a part plays in the overall machine, and can also calculate how to modify the volume or shape of the part for their own use, and can also calculate how to do it in order to make parts with the same function.

The latter two are achieved through exhaustive calculations. As samples, the parts from human civilization and containing the technology of human civilization are delineated, and the robots carry out exhaustive calculations within this range, trying to restore such parts, and finally achieve the purpose of their own technology evolution.

Three months after the ships were destroyed by the robots, a large-scale exhaustive attempt began, and Xiao Yun saw a shocking scene. A huge amount of information poured into the central server set up by the Science Affairs Committee like a torrent of water, and each piece of data represented a robot's attempt at a different evolutionary direction. There are many possible evolutionary directions, and there is only one correct one. This dooms the vast majority of robots to make evolutionary attempts that are wrong, and wrong...... It means death.

So the robots began a large-scale "suicide" operation. Some robots are damaged due to the lack of strength of the parts due to the failure of evolution in materials science, and eventually lose their mobility, some robots are damaged due to insufficient heat resistance, some robots explode, some robots are paralyzed, and some robots are simply burned off the core chip......

There is only one ending for all robots that fail to evolve, and that is ...... Die. (To be continued.) )
