Now is not the time to play with children's love and heroic blood. War is a cruel thing, and this kind of emotion may be needed when fighting on the front line, but as the decision-making level of a legion, excluding the interference of emotions in decision-making is the most basic quality.

The reality is that Xiao Yun's stay here will not have any impact on the specific war, but will bring many dangers to himself, and Xiao Yun's special identity determines that he cannot bear this risk. So it's wisest to leave here at this time and return to the safest place in the solar system.

Xiao Yun himself knows this, so Xiao Yun doesn't plan to stay here because of some "hypocritical" reasons such as feelings. That's not necessary at all. Xiao Yun does have his own reasons for wanting to stay here.

In other words, as soon as I can find evidence or conjecture to prove that robots have the ability to evolve themselves, our plans will change, right? Xiao Yun asked.

"Of course." "The truth is that if these robots can evolve on their own, then the existence of that genius will not matter to the big picture, and our assassination of him will not be necessary." ”

"Xiao Yun, do you really think so?" A staff officer said, "Without a scientific system and without independent self-awareness, how can those robots have the ability to evolve on their own under the constraints of these two premises?" I think you'd better not waste your energy and time here, it's impossible to do it, and all the energy you spend on it will prove to be in vain. ”

Xiao Yun ignored the staff officer's statement. Instead, he looked at General Emak firmly: "Please trust me. I can find a way to confirm this. I'll prove it...... Our current strategic arrangement is wrong. We shouldn't have tried to assassinate that genius, it wouldn't be of any use other than to cause us additional damage. ”

General Emak asked, "How much time do you need?" ”

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I don't know. But I know...... I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. That's what God can do, and there's no reason why I can't. ”

Xiao Yun turned around, looked at everyone in the conference room, and said word by word: "That guy killed my lover, killed my companion, and posed a serious threat to our human civilization. In one way or another. He is my mortal enemy. So...... I decided to accept his challenge to me. And cracking his method of "self-evolution of robots" was the first thing I had to do after accepting the challenge. ”

General Emak sighed, and Xiao Yun continued, "So, I must stay in the fleet. For if I leave the fleet, even if I find a way to confirm this, I will not be able to convey my thoughts to you quickly, and in that case it will probably cause our fleet many unnecessary casualties. ”

"That's why I'm staying in the fleet, Admiral Emek, what do you think?"

General Emak looked serious. He didn't speak for a long time. Halfway through, General Emak said, "Although I don't know if it was right or wrong to promise to let you stay...... Although there is a good chance that this will lead to the death of you, a key character, in the midst of the war...... But. I'll promise you. Okay, Xiao Yun, you can stay here. ”

Xiao Yun nodded and sat down, while General Emmerk continued: "Then what we have to discuss next is which star system that the celestial will choose to go to. ”

The robot group can divide 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of shares to occupy many star systems, but that genius has only one person or a small group, and it is impossible for them to disperse. Obviously, only by determining where they had arrived could they proceed with further assassination plans.

"I think it's better to change the question to "which star system is the main target of the robot group". Because obviously, that genius will choose to be with most robots. Whether it is from the perspective of his own safety or the convenience of upgrading the technology of robots, he will choose to do so. A staff officer said.

This staff officer's statement was agreed by most people, and even Xiao Yun had to admit that if that genius really existed, his choice was indeed the most reasonable.

General Emak also chose to agree with this statement: "Then let's discuss which star system the main target of the robot group is. ”

The staff member continued, "This problem can be broken down into two, first, the distance between the target star system and the Raqqa system, and second, how resourceful the target star system is. The closer you are, the easier it is to get to, and the more resources you have, the more robot clones you can copy. That genius must have considered this from both sides. ”

General Emak manipulated the instrument in front of him, and a three-dimensional projection of the starry sky appeared in front of everyone, which marked all the galaxies around the Raqqa galaxy within ten light-years of each other: "These two premises must be okay with everyone, so the candidate targets are as follows......"

"The Pojiang A galaxy, five .8 light-years from the Raqqa Galaxy, is the closest star to the Raqqa Galaxy, the T Cygnus Galaxy, six .3 light-years from the Raqqa Galaxy, the Lager 728 Galaxy, the Laqqa Galaxy is 8.9 light-years away, and the Wolf 377 Galaxy...... Which of these candidate target systems do you think it will be? ”

An operational staff officer said: "I think the genius's voyage destination is Pojiang A, Pojiang A is the closest to the Raqqa system, and the Laqqa galaxy has been mined by them, so it is a very reasonable choice to choose the nearest star to continue development." ”

"I also think it's Hae A." Another staff officer said, "Poe A is five .8 light-years away from the Raqqa system, and even if those infinite replication robots travel at a speed of only 5,000 kilometers per second, it will only take them about 350 years to sail to their destination. And if they could reach twice the speed of light that we do, they would be there in just 2.9 years. ”

For robots, being able to travel interstellar does not mean that they have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light. Obviously, robots are different from humans, and for humans it is an insurmountable long time, and for robots it has little meaning. As long as their fuel reserves and their own mechanical makeup can last that long. Because as long as the body of robots is not damaged, their lifespan can be said to be infinite, while humans cannot do this.

If that genius really existed, he would have been limited in his lifespan. While the limit of longevity can be bypassed by hibernation - a stellar voyage that takes hundreds of years of hibernation is meaningless for a civilization, but it makes sense for an individual.

Poe A is a more distant star system than the Raqqa Galaxy. Prior to this event, there had always been two unmanned probes launched by human civilization in the Raqqa system, while no human civilization had ever reached Pojiang A.

However, through astronomical observations, human civilization still has some understanding of Poe A. The host star of Poe A is a yellow dwarf slightly larger than the Sun, and there is only one confirmed planet, which is a gas giant larger than Jupiter.

Poe A is a very likely destination, but another staff officer objected: "I don't think the robots will sail to Poe A." Because there is only one planet in the Poe A galaxy, and this planet is still a gas giant, not a rocky planet. Obviously, there are far fewer materials on a gas giant that can be used by robots than on a rocky planet. So...... I think the robots' destination will be the Rag 728 system. Although the Lag 728 galaxy is 3 light-years farther than the constellation A, there are three rocky planets in the Lag 728 galaxy and an asteroid belt with many celestial bodies. It is believed that the abundance of materials there will form a very great attraction to that genius. ”

"So...... We are now faced with the question of how that genius would choose between sailing time and abundance of supplies. "And the question can be reduced to the fact that if they are fast enough, even faster-than-light, they will basically choose the Lag 728 system, because the Lag 728 galaxy is three light-years away from the Pojiang A galaxy, which is basically nothing in the face of faster-than-light travel." And if they can't travel faster than light, or if they're still limited to 20 percent of the speed of light or less, they'll choose the Poe A galaxy. ”

"So...... Who can make some inferences about the speed of the robot? General Emak asked the question as he looked at the staff officers in the room.

Xiao Yun said silently: "I don't think it's a problem. Face a genius who can create an infinite number of replicating robots...... I don't think the means of faster-than-light travel are really nothing to him. I think their voyage destination is the Rag 728 system. ”

"I agree with that." "There is no reason to underestimate the wisdom of a genius," said one of the staff officers. ”

All the rest of the staff officers were silent at this time. General Emmerk sighed, and then said, "Let's think it's the Rag 728 galaxy for the time being." (To be continued.) )
