Chapter 287: The Machine Empire

Xiao Yun thought of more and more things, and the many small squares in the big box were quickly filled. After filling the small square, Xiao Yun drew a circle outside the large square to enclose it: "Similarly, in order to ensure the survival of its own body, it must have external armor. These exterior armors are resistant to harsh natural environments, ensuring that the precision instruments inside work properly. ”

"Hmm...... Commanding all of these devices is bound to be a set of extremely sophisticated electronic programs that can command and coordinate the operation of many internal devices, it can obtain the most resources to replicate itself with the least effort through optimization algorithms, and it can also maintain contact with the rest of the external robots to ensure large-scale linkage...... It's its brain. ”

So Xiao Yun wrote the words "chip device" in the big box.

After writing down the four words chip device, the big box has been completely occupied. But at this time, Xiao Yun remembered a crucial device: "In order to obtain information from the outside, it must also have a set of sophisticated light perception instruments, well, it is likely that not only visible light, but also invisible light in other bands, and even all kinds of radiation can be perceived." For planets with atmospheres, a set of sound sensing devices is also a must. In order for these devices to function properly, they must be installed outside the body. ”

So Xiao Yun drew a small box outside the big box, and wrote the words "information collection device" in this small box.

In this way, a machine with the ability to infinitely copy itself appeared in Xiao Yun's pen. It has a large belly, strong limbs, and something that looks like a head in comparison.

It looks like some kind of bug. So Xiao Yun remembered the planet in the Raqqa system again. The alien monsters who once slaughtered all of their teammates. Then Xiao Yun realized. The appearance of those bugs turned out to be the same as what I had in mind. A robot with the ability to infinitely replicate itself looks similar.

So Xiao Yun's heart was suddenly tightened. Xiao Yun stared at the strange thing he had drawn, and in a trance, the thing seemed to come to life, dancing its teeth and claws on the paper, and then jumped towards Xiao Yun suddenly......

Xiao Yun screamed, and leaned back reflexively, so the chair was also brought over, and Xiao Yun fell heavily on the floor. The pain caused by the fall of his body brought Xiao Yun back to his senses. But the terrifying feeling before was always hovering in Xiao Yun's mind and refused to leave. Xiao Yun propped himself on the ground with one hand, sitting on the floor panting for breath for a long time before he reacted. Then Xiao Yun picked up the chair and sat back down, and saw the piece of paper with a strange-looking insect drawn on it again.

It was still lying quietly on the table, not moving.

It took Xiao Yun a full few minutes to regain his composure, and Xiao Yun began to think again.

"The decay furnace is its heart, it is responsible for providing energy for all the actions of the organism, the internal repair device is its immune system, it is responsible for repairing the damaged parts inside, and the ore gathering and refining device is its digestive system. It is responsible for providing the materials needed to replicate itself, and the internal assembly device is its womb. It is responsible for breeding the next generation, and the information-gathering device is its eyes and ears, the weapon device is its fist, and the chip is its brain......"

"By the way, for this type of robot, it's likely that the replica robot that is conceived in their body is not a complete structure, but only has some necessary parts. Because if it is a whole body, it will be too large, and the mother cannot give birth to a child with the same volume as herself within herself. In this way, it also needs a process of growth, and it is likely that the offspring will need to be cared for by the mother for a period of time after birth, during which the mother will provide it with some materials that have been refined by itself, and after obtaining these materials, the progeny will improve its structure through internal processing, and eventually grow to the same size as the mother and have the same abilities as the mother. At this time, it will start its own breeding journey, giving birth to its own offspring and taking care of its own ......"

"It'...... It's not like a machine, it's like a real life. Xiao Yun thought silently, "It seems to fit all the definitions of life." ”

Xiao Yun couldn't help but sketch such a picture in his mind: on the dark planet Raqqa, a robot-like insect is constantly wandering on the earth, looking for things that can be used by itself, and after finding them, they will eat them, useful things are collected and stored, and the waste residue is excreted from the body through another channel, after collecting enough materials, a new copy is made in its body and then born, and the new copy may be very weak when it is born, It then follows the mother, who takes care of it until it has the ability to live independently and reproduce its offspring......

The more Xiao Yun conceived it, the more he felt that this kind of robot that could infinitely replicate itself was so similar to human civilization. Whether it is the structure of the body or the mode of survival and reproduction, everything that exists within human civilization can find its counterpart in the robot empire.

"So...... Are they really just machines? Xiao Yun muttered to himself, "To make something like this...... How advanced should the technology be? ”

Xiao Yun himself is an expert in artificial intelligence, so Xiao Yun knows very well that at least, the current level of technology of human civilization is not enough to create such a sophisticated thing.

"If that's what exists in the Raqqa system...... Who made them? Could it be some crazy scientific genius in our human civilization? He solved all the technical difficulties and made this kind of thing? But...... What does this have to do with me? Why did he send me that challenge by name? ”

The more he thought about it, the more dazed Xiao Yun felt. There is no clue about this matter at all, which leads to the fact that whether it is Xiao Yun or the government, there is no way to figure out this matter at this stage.

In the midst of deeper and deeper doubts, a thought suddenly popped up in Xiao Yun's mind: "I want to return to the Raqqa Galaxy with the Earth-level spaceship." (To be continued.) )
