Chapter 320 Wandering Civilization

"Based on the information obtained from the battle between you and the Robot Group, we can at least confirm the following points. First, the Robot Group has some powerful attack method with unknown principles. This attack method is activated by as many as billions of robots, and each time it is activated, it will cause the death of these robots."

"Second, the robot group has the ability to evolve itself, and its ability to evolve itself depends on the technology of our human civilization."

"Third, the robot group has developed successfully, and there is a high probability that it has branched out in the Milky Way, occupied a large number of star systems, and is undergoing a crazy and efficient self-replication process."

"General Emerk, Xiao Yun, have you confirmed the correctness of the above three points?"

A meeting was being held in the government conference room with the participation of the real high-level civilized people. The head of civilized people, leaders of various departments, and scientists of all disciplines participated in the meeting. At this moment, the head of civilized people asked General Emerk and Xiao Yun this question.

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "First of the People's Republic of China, I confirm the correctness of the above points."

A brief discussion sounded in the conference room. After a moment of discussion, a scientist stood up and said to Xiao Yun: "If the correctness of the above three points is confirmed, then we will face a very difficult situation. This situation is... how should we face the robot group?"

"As sooner or later, the robot group will have a full contact with our civilization. The star systems we occupy, and even our solar system, will be attacked by robots sooner or later. This is inevitable. But how can we deal with these robots? First of all, in order to ensure the interests of our civilization and protect our resources and people, it is inevitable that we will go to war with the robot group, but... the robot group takes our human civilization's technological system as the source of evolution. If we go to war with the robot group, our technology will inevitably be learned by the robot group, which indirectly leads to the technological improvement and strength of the robot group. In this regard, we cannot go to war with robots."

This is indeed the most difficult problem. Xiao Yun once thought about this problem for a long time. But Xiao Yun did not think of any way to solve it. This problem is like a noose that is stuck on the neck of human civilization, causing human civilization to be in a dilemma.

If you don’t go to war with robots, the robot will occupy the stellar system of human civilization. If you go to war with robots, the robot will learn the technology of human civilization. Then, you will deal with human civilization in turn. Human civilization still cannot defend its own resources and galaxies. So... what should I do?

The scientist's words presented this most cruel reality to a high level of civilization. The conference room fell into silence again, and the head of state also thought about this problem for a long time, but it was obvious that no one had come up with a solution to this problem.

In the end, the head of state broke the silence: "Do you have any opinions on this issue? You can tell me, let's all communicate."

General Emerk said: "First of the People, and gentlemen and ladies here, I would like to ask you to recognize a reality. That is,... the matter of the robot group is no longer possible to be solved through military means. The military power on which our human civilization relies on is the Earth-class spacecraft that can be called a war fortress, the huge fleet that is enough to sweep a thousand light-year space, or our engineering power, our war reserve force... all of these things are useless when facing the robot group."

This is a very cruel thing. The development of human civilization has not yet considered the possibility of contact with alien civilizations. In fact, it is necessary to maintain such a huge arms system. And intentionally allow the existence of interstellar pirates to be wiped out by military forces a thousand times or ten thousand times. However, the government did not do this to prepare for the alien civilizations that may be encountered on one day: maintaining a huge arms system is to avoid being prepared when there is war demand. Allowing the existence of interstellar pirates is for the purpose of training, so that the soldiers will not be immersed in comfort for a long time and lose their combat effectiveness. However, now human civilization has encountered an almost fatal threat. The huge arms system of human civilization... is completely useless?

No matter who it is, it will feel a little difficult to accept this conclusion. But no matter who it is, this conclusion is very correct. That's right, when facing the robot group, the military force on which human civilization relies for pride... is completely useless.

Can human civilization eliminate robot groups through military means? The answer is no. Everyone can clearly realize that in the face of the robot army that may have spread to tens of thousands or even more numerous stellar armies, human civilization is completely powerless, because no matter how many combat spacecraft are, it will definitely not support the demand for tens of thousands or more stellar battlefields at the same time. And... as long as there is one robot left, it will reproduce again in a short period of time, which is as large as astronomical.

There is no essential difference between eliminating a trillion robots and eliminating a robot, because the robot group does not care about the number. And... Does human civilization have the ability to eliminate all robots at the same time? The answer is no, so when facing the robot group, military power is meaningless.

"So... do you have any thoughts on this?" the Führer asked General Emerk.

General Emerk was silent at first, and then slowly said: "I just want you to know that when facing the robot group, our military is not the main force of war, and we can only play an auxiliary role at most."

"So...who is the main force?"

"The main force is Xiao Yun, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and all the scientists here." General Emerk raised his head and said firmly: "Our military cannot destroy all robots, but science can."

The head of state put his eyes on Xiao Yun: "Xiao Yun, everyone here knows your special identity. You don't need to hide your affairs here. So tell me, do you have any ideas about how to destroy the robot group?"

"I don't have any specific ideas yet." Xiao Yun shook his head, "Although that is another me, I have to admit now that at least in terms of robots, my understanding is not as good as him. However... although I don't have any specific ideas, I have a few suggestions."

"You can tell me." The head of state nodded.

"First, shrink the position." Xiao Yun raised his head and looked straight into the head of the eye. "Give up all stellar systems with a rating below S level, and relocate all their population, resources, and wealth to the closest and most important stellar systems to the solar system, and strive to defend these stellar systems, while trying to delay the time of large-scale war with the robot group."

"Second... concentrate all the power of civilization and launch comprehensive preparations to raise the defense of these star systems to the highest level. Note that only for defense, we do not need to launch an active attack on the robot group for the purpose of killing. As long as we can defend these star systems, we will achieve our goal."

"Third, make every effort to build large-scale transportation and manned spacecraft, and be prepared to abandon the solar system when necessary and unfold interstellar wandering." Xiao Yun looked straight into the head of state's eyes and said word by word: "We can't beat the robot group, but we can escape."

There was another commotion in the conference room. Because the three points Xiao Yun told was too horrifying, human civilization seemed to be flourishing and developing at the moment, and was full of vitality. At this moment, it was about to abandon its homeland and become a "fleet civilization" wandering in the galaxy universe. This transformation and gap are too huge, and people cannot accept such a thing at all.

"You can't understand the terror of the robot group for the time being." Xiao Yun said, "It's an endless ocean of robots... Our fleet fell into the ocean of robots, almost wiped out. I hope everyone can understand that the robot group is the most powerful enemy we have encountered since the emergence of our civilization. Faced with such an enemy, our civilization has no advantage at all. Being able to become a fleet civilization wandering in the galaxy universe is always better than the extinction of civilization."

The commotion stopped after a moment, and the head of state said to Xiao Yun again: "I can understand these three points you raised, but I still have a question, that is... I don't seem to find a solution to destroy the robot group from your statement."

"This is the plan I proposed." Xiao Yun said, "I hope the government can set up an institution specifically for studying robot weaknesses. All three points I have proposed are to buy time for the work of this institution. The progress of the work of this institution will determine the life and death of our civilization. If within the time period we have won, this institution finds all ways to destroy the robot group, then our civilization will be saved. If not, then our civilization will perish. Things are so simple."

Xiao Yun presented the logic of this matter to the congregation members in the simplest and most direct way. Xiao Yun did not care how huge the psychological impact this matter would have on everyone, because Xiao Yun knew that human civilization would sooner or later accept this.

The head of state was silent and said, "I agree." (To be continued.)
