It is no exaggeration to say that robots with infinite abilities to replicate themselves are the most terrifying thing in this universe. They are just a program, there is no concept of sustainability or ecology in their world, and their sole purpose is to replicate themselves as much as possible, as quickly as possible. This causes them to devastate each star system they arrive at in a very short period of time, draining the resources of one star system in a short period of time and moving on to the next.

In the process, their number increases exponentially. Xiao Yun has done some calculations and concluded that if a solar system-like star system had the first robot that could replicate itself indefinitely, if nothing else, it and its clones would occupy the entire star system in just ten years.

The scary thing about this kind of stuff is the sheer amount of it. It may be tens of millions of trillions of robots, they can't be killed at all, no matter how many such robots are killed, as long as one remains, it will grow and grow again in a very short time. Xiao Yun's Institute of Artificial Intelligence of the Academy of Computer Sciences has made some speculations about the possible existence of this type of robot, and the conclusion is that with the strength of human civilization, human civilization cannot defeat a robot empire that has grown and grown.

It is not a simple matter to build a robot with the ability to infinitely replicate itself, at least for human civilization, but if it cannot be done at this stage, it does not mean that it will not be possible in the future. Maybe in the next moment. Because of the birth of a genius idea. It is possible to build such robots. These are all bad things to say.

It is precisely because of the realization of the great threat that this form of existence may bring to the entire human civilization that the human civilization government attaches so much importance to this matter, so the Führer has the idea of sending Earth-class warships to the Raqqa system. The Führer's idea was simple, if those things in the Raqqa system weren't infinitely replicating their own robots, if they were, it was fine...... Then rely on the powerful offensive ability of the earth-level spaceship to nip this terrifying monster in the bud, and it is absolutely impossible for them to spread to the rest of the star system, and it is absolutely impossible for them to develop.

This was originally a very clear and logical structure. However, the challenge-like thing that returned to Earth along with the distress signal shrouded the matter in a fog. Because this message means that this incident is very likely to be a conspiracy of some forces within human civilization, and ...... It has an extremely close relationship with Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun would never have imagined that he would be greeted with such shocking news after waking up from his hibernation.

The two investigators were silent, and Xiao Yun also began to be silent. A dull and solemn atmosphere was brewing in the office. After a long time, Xiao Yun stood up, and then said, "If there is new news...... Please keep me informed. ”

The two investigators shook hands with Xiao Yun separately, and Xiao Yun left the place.

Xiao Yun returned to his home after a forty-year absence. Forty years have passed, but the home is still tidy and dry. None of the arrangements have changed in the slightest. Like every ordinary day in the past, Xiao Yun sat in front of his desk. casually pulled out a book and flipped through it, but after a while, Xiao Yun put the book down.

Xiao Yun's heart was very unsettled, which caused Xiao Yun to not be able to read a word at all. After putting the book down, Xiao Yun picked up the paper and pen casually, and then began to sketch very casually.

"If it's a robot that can replicate itself indefinitely...... Then it must have a complete set of mineral resource collection and refining equipment inside. Xiao Yun thought silently, drew a box on the paper, and then divided the box into more small grids.

"They collect the minerals they need to replicate themselves through mineral gathering and refining devices, such as steel, chips, rubber, cables...... Strictly speaking, there must be a large number of these things on a planet, but collecting and separating them is not an easy task. This means that the collection and refining equipment inside the robot must be very efficient and sophisticated, and must not be too large. ”

So Xiao Yun wrote the words "collection device" on a small grid in that box, and the words "refining device" in another small box.

"It also has to be extremely efficient in the processing of materials, so that it can make the mined minerals into the parts it needs to replicate itself." Xiao Yun continued to think, and once again wrote the words "processing device" in another small grid.

"It has to have enough space inside it to assemble the robot, so that it can assemble the machined parts here into a new robot that is completely structurally identical."

"If there really were robots that could replicate themselves indefinitely, then there would be these structures inside it. They ingest minerals, smelt them, process them, and then make new robots, and after the new robots are made, they excrete them from their bodies, so they complete a process of reproduction. The daughter robot has the same functions and structure as its parent body, and after it is manufactured, it repeats the behavior of the parent robot and continues to build new robots......"

"But it's just a process of reproduction, and these things alone are not enough." Xiao Yun continued to think silently, "In order to ensure its viability and the need to collect minerals, it must have a power plant and must be able to move freely. Something like a wheel is obviously not suitable for the complex terrain on the planet's surface, and the limbs of humans or other animals are most suitable. ”

So Xiao Yun drew a few legs outside the box.

"If you have legs, you must have a power transmission device inside, you must have a power generation device, and in order to maintain the operation of the body, there must be an energy harvesting device inside it."

Xiao Yun wrote the names of these devices in another small square.

"In order to survive and protect itself, it also needs to have weapons to attack alien beings that may pose a threat to itself."

"Perhaps...... It also has an internal repair device for repairs and replacement of damaged parts inside itself...... In order to identify friend and foe and the linkage of multiple machines, it also requires an extremely sophisticated communication device......" (To be continued. )
