Earth Era

The fight was more of a one-sided massacre. In the face of the weapons of war built by human civilization, robots are as vulnerable as ants. But both Xiao Yun and General Emock knew very well that the massacre was just an appearance, and behind the appearance was the truth that the resources of the raiding team were constantly being consumed.

What's the use of slaughtering more robots? Robots don't care about numbers, but raid squads can't help but care about their material reserves and declining defense and attack power.

General Emock glanced at some data displayed on the screen and quickly made a judgment: "The raid team still has half an hour. If the battle cannot be ended within half an hour, the follow-up of the robot group will The support army will come, and Major Lin will be cut off from the retreat, and the whole army will be wiped out there."

The staff team sent this judgment to the raiding team, but did not attach any orders from the main fleet. Obviously, General Emock believed that Major Lin would make the most correct judgment.

After almost half of the robot army was wiped out, the raiding team finally had a new move. They no longer maintained a gathered formation, but spread out a little, and then under the premise of maintaining the formation, they began to evacuate the Rag 728 galaxy very slowly in comparison.

This was not a rout, but a planned retreat, and because it was a planned retreat, it did not bring additional casualties. When the raid combat team retreated to a certain distance, the robot army that had been entangled in an instant dispersed, and then returned to the Lager 728 galaxy, giving up the attack on the raid combat team.

Under the leadership of Major Lin, the series of actions of the raiding team, from the start of the attack to the retreat, were as standard as textbooks. Although Xiao Yun didn't understand the military, he also realized the beauty of the whole battle process as art.

General Emock nodded approvingly: "I knew that Major Lin was the most suitable person to carry out this raid. Only one Fengyun-class spaceship and some combat airships were lost in the entire battle, but the total number of enemies eliminated was Over two million."

A combat staff officer added: "In addition, the assault team led by Major Lin also captured more than 30 complete robots - the original number was as high as several thousand. However, these robots were equipped with extremely perfect internal equipment. The conditional judgment self-destruction device, during the capture process, except for these more than thirty robots, all the rest self-destructed."

"It doesn't matter," said General Emock. "There are more than 30 robots that are enough for our analysis."

The raiding team led by Major Lin returned to the fleet like a hero. General Emock personally met Major Lin and gave him the corresponding honor. After encouraging Major Lin, General Emock came to the analysis laboratory again. Scientists in the fleet will conduct an overall analysis of the robot here, and Xiao Yun is also conducting an analysis of the code structure of the robot's core chip here.

The fleet had previously harvested a robot body that had lost power. After making a simple comparison between that robot and the robots currently held captive, an obvious conclusion was immediately presented to everyone: "As we guessed, the robot did evolve. The previous robot only had The ability to crawl on the ground, and the robots we have captured at this moment have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light. Whether it is material technology, structural technology, or computing technology... They have all produced earth-shaking changes."

After reaching this conclusion, General Emock asked one of the most crucial questions: "What about the mechanism of their evolution? Is there any way to determine? Did they evolve because of the existence of genius, or did they evolve autonomously? "

"There's no way to know for sure," said the scientist in charge of analyzing the robot's body structure. "To determine this, you need to analyze the core code that governs their actions. All the mysteries about robots are hidden in the core code. And this It's not my job, they are analyzed by Xiao Yun."

General Emock looked at Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun said with a wry smile: "Sorry, General Emock, I can't determine their evolution mode. Because the codes used to write core programs... and Not any programming language we already know."

"what does this mean?"

"This means that we are temporarily unable to analyze the design ideas and specific implementation ideas of the core programs, and we cannot know what they mean." Xiao Yun said, "You have to know that it is just like the different languages ​​used by our human civilization. , deciphering the meaning of a language is much more difficult than designing a new language. For example. Suppose I create a new language system from now on, in which the pronunciation of "ah" means "yes" ”, and the pronunciation of “hu” means no. I just randomly gave them a definition and completed the design of a new language system, and... without extensive sample analysis and comparison, you can decipher the In the language system I designed, do the two pronunciations "ah" and "hu" mean?"

"No." General Emock shook his head.

"So...I have no way to decipher the meaning of the core programs that govern the actions of these robots." Xiao Yun said with a wry smile, "I can only faintly perceive that it has a very complete and self-consistent logic system. It is very complicated. It is so complicated that I cannot complete this work by myself. Only by sending it to our civilization, with the help of the common wisdom of countless experts and scholars in our civilization, can the work of deciphering it be completed.”

"It takes decades for the signal to transmit back and forth, that is to say, if we use the power of our civilization to do this, it will take at least that long, and obviously, we don't have that long to wait." General Merck spread his hands, "So... we still have no way to determine the evolution mode of these robots, right?"

Xiao Yun didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"Then it's still going according to the plan we made before." General Emock waved his hand and put his eyes on the previous expert again: "Through the analysis of the robot's body structure, have you come to a conclusion? What conclusion?"

"Conclusion..." The expert pondered for a while, and then said: "The body structure of these robots is so ingenious that it can even be described as a work of art. But it is precisely because of their sophistication that they are very fragile. As a result... except for the huge number, the rest of them are almost useless. Here is the detailed combat data we have analyzed on them, you can take a look."

General Emock took the report, glanced at it casually, and said, "This combat data is similar to the results we analyzed before."

"It's just a little bit suspicious," the expert said, "We noticed that the similarity between the more than 30 robots reached 99.99%, and there was only a slight difference in the remaining point. Think that these differences may be caused by the needs of robot evolution. It's just... 99% of these differences we can find use for them, but only the remaining point, we don't know what they are What is this for."

"Explain in detail," said General Emock.

"It's like this." The expert operated on his personal computer, and a stereoscopic projection was presented in front of everyone: "It's this little thing."

It was a thing smaller than a grain of rice. It was hidden in intricate circuits and machinery, and it was very inconspicuous. If you didn't observe it carefully, you would not be able to detect its existence at all.

"These robots are very delicate things, everything in them has its own purpose, there is no useless thing in them. And this thing... we don't know what they do, it seems to be in the robot The body does not function at all and does not participate in any internal operation of the robot. It is simply unnecessary to exist, but I don't know why, it exists~www.readwn.com~ We are all inside the bodies of these more than 30 robots. Similar things were found - they were different, but they all had in common "completely ineffective, completely unnecessary."

As if thinking of something, Xiao Yun immediately asked, "Is there such a thing in the robot we obtained in the Raqqa galaxy?"

"No." The expert shook his head.

Xiao Yun nodded lightly: "If that's the case... it means that this kind of thing only appeared during the evolution of robots, and it is impossible for them to evolve useless things, that is to say... this Something must have a purpose."

The expert said helplessly: "The key point is here. We all know that it must have a reason for its existence, but we don't know what the reason for its existence is."

Xiao Yun also said sadly: "All the mysteries of the robot must be reflected in the core code program. As long as we can crack the core code program and understand its design ideas and implementation methods, we can master all the mysteries of the robot. , you can also know what this thing is for, but unfortunately, we cannot crack the core program at this stage."
