After Xiao Yun expressed his judgment, the combat conference room immediately fell into silence.

General Emerk opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it. Another staff officer said, "Xiao Yun, how sure are you in your judgment?"

"At least 70% sure," Xiao Yun said anxiously, "You can imagine that if you were to do this value judgment system, if the specific indicators cannot be quantified, would you choose to judge the value of a target based on the enemy's reaction? Just... For example, suppose you are a robber and you broke into a rich man's home, but you don't know which one is the most valuable thing. In this case, will you choose the thing with the most strict protection, or the thing that will be thrown in the corner at will?"

The staff officer thought about it carefully and finally said: "There is no doubt that I will choose the one that is most strictly protected. But all this is based on the fact that I do not understand the specific value of the thing. If it were the current situation, how do you make sure that the robot group does not have a practical value judgment system, but relies on our reactions to make value judgments?"

"Two reasons." Xiao Yun said without hesitation, "First, I am an artificial intelligence expert. I have a deep understanding of the logic of the judgment of the value of the item. Although the judgment logic of the genius is not necessarily the same as mine, I don't think there is much difference in the most fundamental thing. A spacecraft is a very complex thing. It is difficult to judge the value of such as size, firepower, and power. Even if you can use these many parameters to set a complete algorithm.

It must be huge, so it is not cost-effective, far less intuitive and simple than "relying on enemy reactions to judge the size of value". The second reason is... Even if the robot group does not rely on what I said to make value judgments, so what? Don't forget that at this moment we are just trying. After the attempt fails, we still have the opportunity to self-destruct. Since the worst result is nothing more than self-destruction, why don't we try it?"

After hearing Xiao Yun's words, General Emerk's eyes immediately narrowed and his voice became solemn: "Xiao Yun, tell me, how long does it take to make this attempt? How long does it take to obtain specific data?"

"Five minutes, I only need five minutes!" Xiao Yun said loudly, "Five minutes is enough! And five minutes is not enough to delay our self-destruction process!"

"Okay! Then try it as you said!" General Emerk said in a decisive tone. "The worst result is nothing more than self-destruction. If that's the case, what else can we be afraid of! Then tell me. How should we do it?"

"It's very simple! Command all other spacecraft to give up all protections on Earth-class spacecraft and drive the Earth-class spacecraft to the front line of the battlefield. Directly let the Earth-class spacecraft participate in the war against the robot group! Also, while driving the Earth-class spacecraft to the front line of the battlefield, use any spacecraft to occupy the position of the Earth-class spacecraft, and at the same time, use all other spacecraft to carry out comprehensive protection on the spacecraft!"

After expressing his ideas, Xiao Yun suddenly realized something he had not thought of before. It was this point that made Xiao Yun's heart sank again, his mouth immediately closed, and the rest of his words were not expressed.

Xiao Yun looked at General Emerk and found that General Emerk's expression was a bit distorted, and the twist was Xiao Yun's clear and visible look of pain. Xiao Yun looked at the staff in the combat conference room, and when he saw that the staff members were also depressed.

Obviously... General Emerk and his staff also thought of the point that Xiao Yun missed before.

The atmosphere in the combat conference room became dull and weird again. Everyone realized this, but at this moment, no one said it.

There is an old saying that you don’t worry about poverty but inequality. To give a simple example, if you have ten cakes evenly distributed to ten people, each person can get one cake, and everyone will be at peace. However, if you change the distribution method and change it to give two of them three cakes each, and the remaining eight people will have half a cake each, then there is a high chance that these ten people will have a dispute. If you give the eight people who only get half a cake, that is, if you don’t want this half cake, then... these eight people have a high chance of choosing to get nothing and want others to get nothing.

From an absolute rational perspective, the most wisest choice is undoubtedly to take this half of the cake in your own hands, because it realizes the appreciation of your own interests. After all, you have gained benefits, but the hearts of the people are a thing that is difficult to describe. You are afraid of comparing everything. Compared with the three cakes obtained by others, the half cake you get not only cannot bring you psychological comfort, but will instead create a psychological gap. This psychological gap is enough to erase the growth of the actual benefits brought by the half cake.

Let’s go back to the current situation... The plan mentioned by Xiao Yun is undoubtedly worth a try. Anyway, even if the attempt fails, it will only destroy itself again. This will not cause any loss to oneself. However, if it succeeds, the Earth-class spacecraft and some spacecraft can escape from birth, thus achieving positive gains in overall interests.

But don't forget that the fleet is not a complete whole, it is composed of more and smaller individuals. Xiao Yun's plan must require some spacecraft to actively make sacrifices and take on the task of attracting robots' attention. This part of the spacecraft is destined to be destroyed, and they have no reason to survive.

To put it more simply, everyone was going to die, without anyone being exceptional, everyone being the same, it doesn't matter, but now... some spacecraft can get a 50% chance of survival, while the remaining spacecraft still needs to maintain a 0% chance of survival... So, why?

Why can you escape, but we are going to die? This is unfair. It is the fairest thing that everyone dies.

This is a big question. It was precisely when General Emerk, the combat staff, and Xiao Yun were silent. Because at this moment, these people in the combat conference room had to make the most difficult choice, which would determine which people and which spacecraft would have a chance to live, and which spacecraft would have to die.

Time slips away bit by bit, and every second that passes is extremely precious. If you continue to delay, you may not even have time to try it. By that time, the fleet of human civilization will... be destroyed.

Only General Emerk can make this choice, because General Emerk is the supreme commander in this fleet. So, at this moment, everyone, whether it is the combat staff or Xiao Yun, looked at General Emerk.

During these hundreds of years of military career, General Emerk did not know how many decisions he had made. Any of those orders could be related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people. Among those decisions, General Emerk had never hesitated. After all, in war, there were no immortals, but now General Emerk hesitated.

Because... in this choice, those selected spacecraft are not going to perform extremely risky tasks. Even the extremely dangerous tasks still have a chance to survive. This time, this time is 100% death. Under the siege of the robot army, those selected people and spacecraft will not have a chance to survive.

This is not just what made General Emerk hesitate. General Emerk knew that no matter how he chose, Earth-class spacecraft would definitely not be selected, because Earth-class spacecraft is of the highest value. Even in the entire human civilization, there are only three Earth-class spacecrafts. Whether it is military or political, Earth-class spacecraft cannot be lost.

And... General Emerk was on the Earth-class spacecraft, and saving the Earth-class spacecraft was equivalent to saving General Emerk himself.

If he had a choice, General Emerk hoped that he would be on another spacecraft. In that case, General Emerk could issue an order to save the Earth-class spacecraft without any psychological barriers, and at the same time let the spacecraft he was riding on to die generously. But now the situation is just the opposite, so after issuing this order, General Emerk will definitely carry a hat of "sacrificing his subordinates and saving his life". This hat is more unbearable for General Emerk than killing him.

No one is willing to carry this hat. At the same time, everyone in the combat conference room can escape, but General Emerk cannot escape. Because General Emerk is the commander of the entire army.

Time was still passing by bit by bit, and the atmosphere in the combat conference room was still dull and depressing. No one spoke, and everyone's eyes were staring at General Emerk.

General Emerk suddenly laughed, and his voice began to become dull and soft: "This responsibility is always something I should bear. As a commander, I should not use my emotions as the basis for command... There is only one basis for it, that is reason."
