Xiao Yun was thinking like this, and time passed quietly in this constant thinking. A year passed, two years passed...

At this moment, Xiao Yun was like a savage in the mountains. He could hardly see the mark of the civilization era from him. Everyone, including General Emerk, was a little worried about Xiao Yun's situation, but Xiao Yun was still stubbornly living in his own way and never wanted to change.

Xiao Yun seemed to be locked in all his spirits by a certain obsession. Xiao Yun faced only two roads. The first one was to break this obsession and gain a new life, while the second one was to be locked in this obsession for a lifetime and could not get out of it for the rest of his life.

And obviously, this obsession is...what exactly is to crack the genius to allow robots to have self-evolution ability.

During this period, all the discoveries and all the speculative related information about the Expeditionary Fleet were sent to the solar system. General Emerk hoped that human civilization could be prepared to face the enemy before the real robot frenzy arrived. However, the sending of information also took time. Although human civilization has mastered the method of super-light navigation, it still did not master the technology of over-distance communication. At most, the signal transmission speed is twice the speed of light that is the same as the spacecraft's speed. In other words, the Expeditionary Fleet sent the information, and the solar system will not be able to receive it after 17 years. In other words, the Expeditionary Fleet will not receive the reply information from the solar system after more than 30 years.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect the solar system to command the fleet. It is precisely for this reason that General Emerk has great autonomy in the command of the fleet. Otherwise, from the safe side, the solar system should not agree to the assassination plan formulated by General Emerk.

But no matter what, the plan to assassinate the genius is always implemented now. Xiao Yun has no way to say that this plan is not good. In fact, if Xiao Yun is standing in General Emerk's position, Xiao Yun will make the same choice. It's just... Xiao Yun is a scientist, an artificial intelligence expert, not a general.

So Xiao Yun had a different choice from General Emerke. The plan to assassinate a genius is good, but if the basis for making the plan is wrong... What's the use of no matter how good the plan is?

There are less than two years left. If Xiao Yun still can't find a way within these two years, the assassination plan will be truly implemented.

After long-term thinking, Xiao Yun had many ideas, but after more meticulous thinking, Xiao Yun eliminated all these ideas one by one.

The first idea is the natural evolution method. That is, these robots evolve in the natural evolution method like natural life. Simply put, the core of this method is the eight words "success in nature and survival of the fittest".

In ancient times, primitive lives on the earth evolved in this way. They did not have their own scientific system and did not have a clear independent consciousness. It was the natural environment that helped them complete their evolution. There will always be mutations in the reproduction of living organisms, which will lead to a slight difference between the next generation and the mother. It is this slight difference that accumulates that eventually leads them to evolve into complex and higher-level lives.

In this model, fragile lives that are not adapted to the environment will be eliminated, and their genes cannot be passed down. Strong lives that are adapted to the environment will be retained, and their genes will be passed down, and then they will continue to adapt. Continuous evolution will eventually achieve the goal of improving one's own strength.

However, after more in-depth thinking, Xiao Yun found that this evolution method is not suitable for the evolution of robots. First of all, the natural selection of evolution is to better adapt to the environment, but it is only limited to adapting to the environment. If these robots adopt this evolution method, they should evolve to the environment that best adapts to the planet Laka and will stop evolution.

This is the limitation of natural evolution. Robots are always just robots. They cannot have independent self-consciousness like real life. And... when on Earth, life with independent self-consciousness is not limited to one type of human being. Many species of living things have their own independent consciousness. But their evolution has always been limited to the earth.

Even the evolution of human beings has always been limited to the earth. This is the limitation of the evolutionary method of natural selection. It can make a species more adaptable to this environment. But it cannot make this species better. It is basically impossible to leave the earth and enter space and rely on natural evolution. It must rely on wisdom to do so.

Secondly, natural selection is non-active. In other words, robots or living organisms that use natural selection to evolve into the future cannot be predicted in advance. Although there is a very small probability that there may be a living organism that has been evolving all the time and then evolved from the planet to the living organism in the universe, the evolution of this living organism will inevitably follow the slow changes in the environment. In other words, the changes in the environment still make it, rather than it chooses on its own initiative.

Based on these two points, Xiao Yun basically ruled out the possibility that these robots can rely on natural evolution to improve their strength. This probability is too small, so small that it can be ignored. The genius who designed these infinite replication robots...is obviously very sure that these robots can become stronger and stronger. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Perhaps you can add a restriction to the natural selection evolution method, that is, set a clear evolution direction in the initial program of the robot, and tell them from the beginning that your evolution direction is in the universe and space, and it is a super-light navigation. This involves the second evolution method that Xiao Yun speculates, that is, the evolution method of infinite trial and error.

The basic idea of ​​this evolution method is to rely on the huge number of infinite replication robots to allow each robot to randomly choose a change direction. Because the number of robots is large enough, every evolution method that is exhaustively selected has robots to try. When enough different robots are manufactured, under the guidance of the evolution direction that has been set in advance, these robots will try to enter the universe. Robots with the wrong evolution direction will be eliminated by the natural environment, and robots with the right evolution direction will be retained.

One trillion robots may participate in this attempt, and among these trillion robots, only one robot may have chosen the correct evolution direction, so it is retained, and the remaining 9999999 robots will be destroyed and killed, but it doesn't matter. The lucky preserved robot will publish various parameters of its body through communication equipment, so all the remaining robots know this correct evolution method, and they will also choose to evolve according to this correct evolution method.

Because of the powerful reproduction ability of infinite replication robots, the robots lost in previous attempts will be supplemented in a short time. After reaching a certain number, the second trial and error begins. The last attempt may be to reach the stratosphere. This time, the exhaustive method may be to reach the ionosphere. Based on the robots that can reach the stratosphere, try again all the evolution directions that can be imagined. Once again, the robots with the wrong evolution direction will still be eliminated, and the robots with the correct evolution will be retained. Then it publishes its own structural information so that all robots can evolve in this way, and then replenish the quantity. After the quantity reaches a certain level, it will conduct the third exhaustive trial and error, and repeat this. In this way, it can be achieved without relying on independent self-awareness or the evolution of the scientific system.

This evolutionary method has been improved compared to the natural selection evolution method. The main improvement is two points. The first is to grasp the initiative in evolution, and the robots began to actively evolve rather than passively adapt to the environment. The second is to have a clear direction of evolution.

There are two core key points of this evolutionary method: first, the setting of evolutionary goals, and second, is the number of robots sufficient to use the exhaustive method. Regarding the setting of evolutionary goals, Xiao Yun had this idea: "How did that genius set the evolution direction that exceeded his knowledge?"

To give a very simple example, if there is a monkey walking in front of you, as a human, you will certainly know that its next evolution direction is to leave the trees, walk upright on the ground, and then use various tools and use fire... to evolve step by step. However, when this monkey has evolved to the same human being as you, how should you guide it to evolve? After all, even you don’t know what the next evolution direction should be.

In the infinite replication robot, that genius is the human in the example, and the robot is the ape. No matter how smart or powerful that genius is, his knowledge cannot be infinite. His planning of the future evolution direction of the robot always has an end. Once the robots evolve to the end of the plan and lose the clear direction of evolution and the initiative in evolution, what should they do?
