Chapter 328: Evolutionary Attempt

In a blink of an eye, several years have passed by.¥f, the solar system is still calm, and under this calmness, there is still a kind of tension and solemnity of "disaster is coming". However, the large-scale retreat has not yet officially started, and there are still no human immigrants from the alien galaxy to move to the solar system and the most important surrounding areas, and the most protected star systems.

Because the transmission of information also takes time, at this moment, the colonial galaxy developed by human civilization, which is the farthest from the solar system, has not even received a retreat order from the solar system, let alone officially start retreating work. Even the several colonial galaxies that are closer to the solar system are just starting to prepare for it.

Extensive space means a long time. Under such a space and time scale, as well as the huge technological framework developed by human civilization, any "big event" takes so long that predecessors almost dare not imagine it. Just like the residents of the earth in the national era, how could they imagine that it would take decades to build a frontier deep space observatory just?

It can be said that retreat work is impossible without a hundred years. And... the head-on battle between the robot group and human civilization is unlikely to happen within a hundred years.

The preparation time for human civilization seems to be very long, but similarly, the time required for human civilization to prepare is also long, so a hundred years is not enough, and it is even a bit urgent.

The focus of human civilization in this century is to retreat tasks, and the focus of work after this century is to fight the robot group. The lives and all the energy of countless people will be exhausted by these two things, and the lives of countless people will be centered on these two things.

The fate of all babies born during this period has been destined in advance, and they are destined to be busy with these two things for the rest of their lives. This may be a very sad and helpless thing, but there is no way to do this, because... this is human civilization, a huge and magnificent human civilization.

Xiao Yun's life will also be branded as a "robot". The three words "robot" will leave a strong stroke in Xiao Yun's life. Compared with these three words, everything else in Xiao Yun's life seems so bleak.

Xiao Yun left Earth on a dark afternoon and once again came to Pluto's base. Today is a very important day for the Science Affairs Committee led by Xiao Yun, because the number of robots here in Pluto has reached a certain scale and can carry out the next stage of the experiment.

Xiao Yun was flying aimlessly at an altitude of one thousand kilometers from the surface of Pluto, which was analyzed and formulated. Because the altitude of one thousand kilometers is the upper limit of the robot's flight ability, if it is lower than this altitude, the robot can rely on its flight ability to approach the spacecraft Xiao Yun is riding, which will bring many dangers to Xiao Yun.

The high-definition camera installed on the spacecraft actually conveys the scene on the surface of Pluto to the big screen. Xiao Yun and his group sat in front of the screen and carefully observed the scene on the screen.

What appeared in front of Xiao Yun and others was a terrifying scene. At this moment, Xiao Yun felt in a trance that he had returned to the Lag 728 Galaxy and was surrounded by countless robots again.

Because... at this moment, Pluto is already covered with robots. In the sky, on the surface, and even under Pluto, there are bustling robots with twitching teeth and claws everywhere. Their ugly bodies like insects are either flying in the sky or squirming on the ground and under the surface, like a group of demons.

The landform of Pluto has also been completely changed due to the growth of the robot group. Compared with a few years ago, at least hundreds of peaks on Pluto disappeared, and countless more gullies have appeared.

"At this moment, there are at least 300 billion robots on Pluto, and they have occupied all the living space above Pluto, whether in the sky, the surface, or the underground. According to our model calculations, Pluto has reached the upper limit of the number of robots it can carry. In other words... if the robots' technology has not improved, their number will not increase further." A staff member reported to Xiao Yunhui.

Xiao Yun knew that the maximum number mentioned by this staff member did not mean that the resources on Pluto could no longer be used to create more robots. In fact, if all the resources that constitute Pluto were mined, it would be no problem to create a robot that was ten times more than it is at this moment. However... the robots no longer have room for survival.

The so-called living space purely means literally. The number of robots is too large. After all, they have a certain size and require a certain range of activity. Pluto cannot provide such a vast space. The space in space is infinite, and countless robots can be put down there, but at this moment, the robots do not have the ability to enter space to move.

"Program monitoring shows that...the core code programs inside the robot have raised the evolutionary demand to the highest level. In other words, the robots are extremely eager to evolve at this moment, and even give up reproduction and want to evolve."

"Oh. Actually, it's not the case." Xiao Yun said, "Robots have indeed raised the evolutionary demand to the highest point at this moment, but don't forget that robots evolve to seek greater living space, while seeking greater living space is still for the purpose of reproduction. Therefore, in the long run, the highest demand of robots has always reproduction and has never changed."

"Yes." said the staff member, "So...what do you plan to do next? After all, the robots have stopped thriving at this moment."

"If they want to evolve, let them evolve." Xiao Yun said softly, "provide some technology to increase their range of activities to a level of ten thousand kilometers away from the surface of Pluto."

"Okay." The staff member agreed and immediately sent a request message to the fleet stationed around Pluto. There are enough military scientists in the fleet, who will select suitable things for robots to decompose and analyze, that is, to meet the needs of evolution without allowing the robots to evolve excessively.

In the end, several backward spacecraft that were manufactured according to long-awaited technology and could only move within a certain distance around the planet were driven out, and then military personnel put them in near-Earth space less than a thousand kilometers from the surface of Pluto.

As Xiao Yun expected, these spacecraft were violently besieged by robots as soon as they appeared, and they destroyed the spacecraft ten minutes later. The spacecraft parts were obtained by hundreds of millions of robots, and then the analysis of these parts was carried out simultaneously by hundreds of millions of robots.

No, it is not just the analysis by these hundreds of millions of robots, but by the fact that all the robots that are active on Pluto are analyzed simultaneously. Program monitoring shows that after these parts are obtained, all the detection information about them is immediately dispersed, so all the robots on Pluto know the structure of these parts. Under the advanced and unimaginable distributed system, these data that requires further calculations are divided into hundreds of billions of pieces. Each robot undertakes part of the calculation task. After the results are calculated, it will be summarized and then broadcast to all robots to know.

This distributed computing system that does not require core hosts did not arouse Xiao Yun's surprise, because Xiao Yun had known this for a long time. What really surprised Xiao Yun was the ability of these robots to understand and digest technology, as well as the ability to further verify and absorb technology.

When it comes to this aspect, the robot's unique code program plays its role. Robots can understand what a certain part plays in the overall machinery, and can also calculate how to transform the volume or shape of the part for their own use, and can also calculate how to do it to create parts with the same function.

The latter two are achieved through exhaustive calculations. As samples, the parts from human civilization and contain human civilization technology are defined in the scope, while the robots carry out exhaustive calculations within this range, trying to restore such parts and ultimately achieve the goal of evolution of their own technology.

In the third month after the spacecraft were destroyed by the robots, a large-scale exhaustive attempt began, so Xiao Yun saw a shocking scene. A huge amount of information flowed into the central server established by the Science Affairs Committee here, and each of this data represents a robot's attempts in different evolution directions. There are many possible evolution directions, and only one is correct. This destined that the evolutionary attempts made by most robots are wrong, and error... means death.

So the robots began a large-scale "suicide" operation. Some robots were damaged due to the failure of evolution in materials science, and eventually lost their ability to move. Some robots suffered physical damage due to insufficient heat resistance. Some robots exploded, some were paralyzed, and some were simply burned directly to the core chip...
