Earth Era

The researcher's words made Xiao Yun's heart sank: "Self-destruction device? All the key internal parts are destroyed? Is there any possibility of recovery? If it can't be recovered, what else can you infer from it? intelligence?"

"Most of those damaged parts can be restored. After all, those are technologies that are within our understanding." The researcher said a good news, "But... Xiao Yun, as a Artificial intelligence experts, so you should know that although most of its body can be recovered, the brain chip responsible for directing all its body movements cannot. Oh, this is not accurate, the accurate statement is that the chip can Recovery, even re-manufacturing, but the information carried on the chip is completely lost."

Mechanical damage is always the most complete form of damage. The core component that directs the actions of a robot is a small chip, but the value of this small chip is greater than the entire body of the robot. Because all the design ideas of the person who designed these infinitely replicating robots, the realization methods of various functions, the coordination between robots, etc., all these information are stored on the chip. It is even blunt to say that if the vital chip can be obtained, the probability of human civilization finding a way to deal with the infinite replica robot will increase by at least 30%.

But...the chip is gone.

"Okay." Xiao Yun said disappointedly, "What about the rest of the information?"

"General, both you and Xiao Yun can come in and take a look." The researcher said, leading General Emock and Xiao Yun into the research room together.

There are still many staff working in the research room. In front of them was a pile of parts that, although they looked scattered, were clearly organized. Apparently, the robot had been completely disassembled by the researchers.

The researcher pointed at those parts with a long stick, and at the same time introduced Xiao Yun: "Look here. After our preliminary analysis, we confirmed that this is its power device. Like our human civilization, it It is also driven by decay energy. This is its mineral collection and refining device, this is the parts processing device, this is the assembly workshop…”

The researcher took a long time to introduce these scattered parts. After talking about the role of the last component. The researcher turned around. He said to Xiao Yun: "Yes, everything is as stated in the report you submitted... The internal structure and functional modules of this robot are basically similar to those you imagined at the beginning. It is A robot that can replicate itself indefinitely."

After the researcher made this conclusion, General Emock and Xiao Yun both felt a little heavy. Before that, no matter how many ideas and guesses the two made. No matter how solid the speculations are supported by logical speculation, neither of them can be sure that what they will face in the future will be something as terrifying as an "infinitely replicating robot". Because guessing is always just guessing. As long as there is no actual evidence, it will always be guesswork. And now, speculation has become reality.

The researcher continued: "We detected a large number of structures and components in this robot with the style of human civilization. Most of the technologies used are already existing in our human civilization, and a few are applied to this robot. On the robot. The technology that our human civilization has not mastered also has a very obvious inheritance relationship with our human civilization, that is, those technologies are developed on the basis of our technology. So... I can be very For sure, this thing is human. Or made by an alien who is very familiar with human technology."

Xiao Yun turned around and once again began to carefully examine the scattered parts. The researcher followed Xiao Yun and continued: "The working mechanism of this robot is very precise, because of the lack of core chip information. Even if we have disassembled it for the most detailed analysis, we only Can grasp the outline of how it works, but not everything about it. I can responsibly say that its design is extremely subtle, even so subtle that there are many things we simply can't understand. The one who designed and built this robot The guy...is a genius without a doubt."

Every part that makes up the robot has a function. In order to achieve this function, human civilization may need an entire production line, or an entire factory to do it. And the genius who designed and built this robot condensed the entire factory into a small box with a volume of no more than five cubic decimeters, and used this small box to realize all the functions of a factory. Although there is a difference in yield between the two, they are essentially the same.

To do this, the technical foundation or knowledge accumulation is no longer the first important thing. The most important thing is scientific thinking. An ordinary scientific researcher can also master the foundation of science and technology or have sufficient knowledge accumulation through hard work, but scientific thinking is different, and the gap between geniuses and ordinary scholars lies in scientific thinking.

Just like the great genius who first proposed the idea of ​​computer design in the history of human civilization. His contemporaries were not lacking in the depth of his knowledge, but it was he, and no one else, who ultimately came up with computer design ideas. Geniuses are responsible for creating ideas, others... only learn ideas.

The same is true now on top of this robot. Although he was born in the same era as that genius, neither Xiao Yun nor anyone else in the Institute of Artificial Intelligence could do it like that genius. The genius created this kind of thinking and created a robot that can be replicated indefinitely, but Xiao Yun... can only analyze and learn the genius's thoughts through this robot with a shocking mood like everyone else.

This creates a very complex mindset for everyone. No one is willing to admit that they are worse than others, but in the face of this reality, no one can deny this.

"That person is a genius." Xiao Yun said with a sigh.

"Yeah, he is a genius." The researcher also said, "To realize all these functions completely... This is indeed a very difficult thing, but the genius did it."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Xiao Yun shook his head, "I think...because you are not scholars in artificial intelligence, you...you probably haven't really experienced the power of that genius. This is where the genius really shines."

Xiao Yun said, took the long wooden stick from the researcher's hand, and pointed to a part inside the robot's body. That part is used to store the core chip. At this moment, the chip that has been completely damaged is lying there quietly.

"It is necessary to use a program to realize the coordination and operation of all parts of the robot, realize the understanding and judgment of all external sources of information, realize the coordination and linkage of robot groups, and realize the communication between robots... The parts are more difficult. Obviously...the genius did it. But because the chip has been damaged, we can't get any information from here, nor can we appreciate his genius more precisely."

General Emock said coldly: "I don't care how talented that guy is. I only know that he is the sinner of our entire human civilization, and he has committed heinous crimes against the entire human civilization. As a soldier, My job is to catch him and send him to execution."

Xiao Yun and the researcher looked at each other and laughed bitterly together.

After a moment of silence, the researcher said: "Oh, yes, there is one more thing. Through our analysis and research, we have confirmed one thing, that is... the level of technology of this robot is actually the same as what we have obtained before. The piece of drivetrain is about the same."

"Huh?" General Emock narrowed his eyes immediately: "That is to say, now this robot does not actually have the ability to travel between stars, right?"

"Nodding to the ~www.readwn.com~ researcher: "Not only does it not have the ability to travel between stars, it doesn't even have the ability to enter space, and even... it can't fly within the atmosphere. It can only crawl on the ground like a bug. "

Xiao Yun's heart sank again. And General Emock obviously hasn't figured out the key point: "Then tell me, why those robots can destroy the Tarzan-class spacecraft and large scientific research ships located in the orbit of the planet in a short period of time, why they Can we leave the Raqqa system before we arrive?"

The researcher was silent, and Xiao Yun said slowly, "This means two possibilities."

"The first possibility... The genius who made these infinitely replicating robots has been with them all the time. These robots have a data interface in their bodies, and the genius can continuously upgrade the programs of these robots through this data interface. and hardware performance, so that these robots are getting more and more capable. So... this older robot does not have interstellar navigation capabilities, while the rest of the robots that have been upgraded and modified have interstellar navigation capabilities."

"The second possibility..." Xiao Yun hesitated for a while before continuing. But both the researcher and General Emock saw a touch of fear deep in Xiao Yun's eyes. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
