Earth Era

Now is not the time to play with the loveliness and the heroic blood. War is a very cruel thing. Perhaps this kind of emotion is needed in front-line battles, but as the decision-making level of a legion, it is the most basic quality to eliminate the interference of emotions on decision-making.

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

Xiao Yun himself knew this, so Xiao Yun didn't plan to stay here for "hypocritical" reasons such as some feelings. That's totally unnecessary. Xiao Yun did have his own reasons for wanting to stay here.

"That is to say, as long as I can find evidence or conjecture to verify that "robots have the ability to evolve themselves", our plan will change, right?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Of course," said General Emock, "the fact is very obvious, if these robots can evolve by themselves, then the existence of the genius will not affect the overall situation, and our assassination of him is not necessary. ."

"Xiao Yun, do you really think so?" said one of the staff officers, "Without the need for a scientific system and no self-consciousness, how could those robots have self-evolution under the constraints of these two premises? Ability? I think you'd better not waste your energy and time here, it's impossible to do, and all the energy you put into it will prove to be in vain."

Xiao Yun ignored the statement of the staff officer, but looked at General Emock firmly: "Please believe me, I can find a way to confirm this. I will prove... our current strategic arrangement is wrong. , we shouldn't have to assassinate that genius, it won't do us any good other than cause us extra damage."

General Emock asked, "How much time do you need?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I don't know. But I know... I can definitely come up with this method. That genius can do this, and there's no reason why I can't do it."

Xiao Yun turned around and looked at everyone in the conference room. He said word by word: "That guy killed my lover, killed my companion, and posed a serious threat to our human civilization. He is my enemy of life and death in every way. .. So... I decided to accept his challenge to me. Deciphering his method of making the 'robot evolve itself' was the first thing I did after accepting the challenge."

General Emock sighed, and Xiao Yun continued: "So, I have to stay in the fleet. Because if I leave the fleet, even if I think of a way to confirm this, I don't have the ability to quickly. Passing my thoughts on to you. In that case, it is very likely that our fleet will suffer many unnecessary casualties."

"That's why I stay in the fleet, Admiral Emock, what do you think?"

General Emock looked serious and did not speak for a long time. After a while, General Emock said: "Although I don't know whether it is right or wrong to promise you to stay... Although this is likely to cause you, a key person, to die in the war... But, I still promise you. Well, Xiao Yun, you can stay here."

Xiao Yun nodded and sat down, while General Emock continued: "Then what we are going to discuss next is. Which star system will the genius choose to go to."

The robot group can divide 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of shares to occupy many star systems, but the genius has only one person or a small group, and it is impossible for them to be scattered. Obviously, further assassination plans can only be launched if it is determined where they are.

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

The staff officer's statement was approved by the majority of people, and even Xiao Yun had to admit that if that genius really existed. His choice was indeed the most reasonable.

General Emock also chose to agree with this statement: "Then we will discuss next, which star system is the main target of the robot group."

The staff officer continued: "This problem can be broken down into two, first, the distance between the target star system and the Raqqa galaxy. Second, the resource abundance of the target star system. The closer the distance, the easier it is to reach, The more resources you have, the more robotic replicas you can make. That genius will definitely think about this from both sides."

General Emock operated on the instrument in front of him, so a three-dimensional projection of the starry sky appeared in front of everyone. It marked all star systems within ten light-years of the Laqqa galaxy: "There must be no objection to these two premises, so the candidate targets are as follows..."

"The Eridanus A galaxy is 5.8 light-years away from the Lakka galaxy, which is the closest star to the Lakka galaxy, the Cygnus T galaxy is 6.3 light-years away from the Lakka galaxy, and the Lager 728 galaxy is at a distance of 6.3 light-years from the Lakka galaxy. The Ka galaxy is 8.9 light-years away, the Wolf 377 galaxy... Among these candidate target galaxies, which one do you think it will be?"

A combat staff officer said: "I think the genius's voyage destination is Eridanus A. Eridanus A is the closest to the Raqqa galaxy, and the Raqqa galaxy has been mined by them. Then, choosing the nearest star to continue development is A very reasonable choice."

"I also think it's Eridanus A." Another staff officer said, "Eridian A is 5.8 light-years away from the Raqqa galaxy. Even if those infinite replica robots travel at a speed of only 5,000 kilometers per second, they will only It takes about 350 years to sail to their destination. If they can reach the speed of twice the speed of light as ours, they only need 2.9 years to get there.”

For robots, the ability to travel between stars does not mean they have the ability to travel faster than light. Obviously, robots are different from humans. For humans, it is an insurmountable long time, and for robots, it is meaningless. As long as their fuel reserves and their own mechanical makeup can last that long. Because the lifespan of robots can be said to be infinite as long as their bodies are not damaged, which humans cannot do.

If that genius really exists, he will inevitably be limited by his lifespan. While the lifespan limit can be circumvented by hibernating—hundreds of years of hibernation for an interstellar voyage doesn’t make sense for a civilization, but it makes sense for an individual.

Eridanus A is a more distant star system than the Raqqa galaxy. Before this event, two unmanned probes launched by human civilizations in the Raqqa galaxy had always arrived here, while Eridanus A had not been reached by any human civilization creations.

However, through the means of astronomical observation, human civilization still has some understanding of Eridanus A. The main star of Eridanus A is a yellow dwarf slightly larger than the sun, and there is only one planet that has been identified, which is a gas giant planet larger than Jupiter.

Eridanus A is a very likely destination, but another staff officer objected: "I don't think the robot's sailing destination will be Eridanus A. Because there is only one planet in the Eridanus A system, And this planet is still a gas giant, not a rocky planet. And obviously, a gas giant planet has much less material that can be used by robots than a rocky planet. So... I think robots The destination of the voyage will be the Lago 728 system. Although the Lago 728 system is three light-years farther than Eridanus A, there are three rocky planets in the Lago 728 system, and one has many celestial bodies. The asteroid belt. I believe that the rich materials there will form a huge attraction for that genius."

"So...we are now faced with the question of 'how would that genius choose between sailing time and availability of supplies' ~www.readwn.com~ General Emock said, "and this problem can be simplified Because, if they travel fast enough to travel faster than the speed of light, they will basically choose the Lager 728 galaxy, because the Lager 728 galaxy is three light-years away from the Eridanus A galaxy. In front of the superluminal means of navigation, it is basically nothing. And if they can't travel faster than the speed of light, or are still limited to 20 percent of the speed of light or below, they will choose the Eridanus A galaxy. "

"So... who can make some inferences about the speed of the robot?" General Emock asked this question while looking at the staff in the conference room.

Xiao Yun said silently: "I don't think this can be considered a problem. Facing a genius who can create infinite replica robots... I think the means of super-light travel are really nothing to him. I think their long-distance voyages are nothing. The destination is the Rag Seven Twenty Eight Galaxy."

"I agree with this statement," said one of the staff officers. "We have no reason to underestimate the wisdom of a genius."

All the other staff members remained silent at this time. General Emock sighed, and then said: "Let's think it's the Lager Seven Twenty Eight Galaxy for the time being." (To be continued.)
