Chapter 330 Engine Defects

The robot group and the smallpox virus started a journey of war.≤, this war is completely out of control by humans. Both sides of the war have things that can be called "self". They will evolve and use the other party's behavior as a basis to adjust their response strategies. The power of exhaustive evolution is fully demonstrated by the support of these numerous numbers. Their response strategies, protection strategies, and adjustment strategies even make researchers who are guarding the monitoring screen amazed.

There are many response strategies that even scientists feel extremely exquisite. They are perfect response strategies that even scientists with wisdom need to spend a lot of effort to find, but at this moment they are displayed between data codes and robots without wisdom and consciousness. That's right, this is the power of exhaustive evolution.

This seems to be another way of natural evolution, survival of the fittest, robots who choose the wrong response will die, and smallpox viruses who choose the wrong response will be futile. Therefore, after this layer of elimination, robots that can survive must have the ability to fight against smallpox virus, and smallpox viruses that can survive must also have extremely powerful offensive and killing abilities.

But from a global perspective... Dink's attempt still failed. Because the smallpox virus failed to completely destroy the robot group. If it cannot completely destroy the robot group, it means that this countermeasure is meaningless.

Looking at the robots on Pluto who were fighting against the smallpox virus, Xiao Yun seemed to have seen humans from ancient times. Faced with various challenges such as beasts, natural disasters, epidemics, wars, food shortages, climate change, etc., the growth of human population has been severely restricted for a long time. Although those natural disasters and man-made disasters have killed many humans, they have not exterminated human civilization after all. Human civilization has walked out a smooth road among these thorns, and has evolved to this point, and has evolved to the point where almost any disaster can no longer exterminate humans.

Will robots follow this evolutionary trajectory in the fight against the smallpox virus?

Xiao Yun was not aware of this, but Xiao Yun probably knew the difference between the two. Obviously, the natural disasters and man-made disasters that plagued ancient humans would not constantly escalate themselves, while smallpox viruses were different. Robots may evolve more and more powerfully, but smallpox viruses are also constantly evolving themselves. The two will be entangled forever. It is probably impossible to decide the outcome.

"The virus attack plan failed." Xiao Yun finally announced the news. In the conference room, DINK and the team members led by DINK were all depressed.

To develop the smallpox virus, they don’t know how much effort and energy they have spent, but the reality is cruel. The robot group will not willingly die just because DINK’s team members have worked for a few more days. If they cannot achieve it, they cannot achieve it, and no one can change this.

"But I think... Dink and your team members don't need to feel disappointed or sad about this." Xiao Yun continued, "You should see that smallpox virus can effectively weaken the combat effectiveness of the robot group and greatly reduce the self-reproduction ability of the robot group. In a comprehensive judgment, smallpox virus can reduce the robot group's capabilities by at least 50%. Do you know what this means?"

"This means... in the future, when our civilization and the robot group officially fight, our army can face half of the enemies less, we can delay for a longer time, and reduce losses and significantly. We will die fewer people, which can reduce the effort and resources. On the other hand, the smallpox virus greatly increases the probability of our human civilization winning this war."

"So, DINK, you are still a hero." Xiao Yun said, "Do you know? Because of the birth of the smallpox virus... the military combat effectiveness of our human civilization has increased by two to three times out of thin air."

The weakening of the enemy's combat power is equivalent to the improvement of one's combat power, and everyone knows this very well.

"The next step I will issue an order to destroy all the robots on Pluto, and new and pure robots will reproduce on Pluto. Dink. I ask you to continue to lead the team to improve the smallpox virus. During this period of virus attack, we have accumulated a lot of data. With these data as support, I believe that the newly developed smallpox virus will have a great leap." Xiao Yun said. "You must know that for every 0.01% increase in the combat power of the smallpox virus, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers will escape from the desperate situation that will surely die."

"I understand." Dink nodded silently.

"Let's discuss the evolutionary traps below." The summary discussion of the virus attack came to an end, and Xiao Yun presided over the meeting to put the topic on another aspect, "Xiao Muhong. Come and report on what progress has your research been made during my time in the smallpox virus?"

"There are some progress. We have already had several alternatives, but which one has not been determined yet," said Xiao Muhong. "The first alternative is an evolutionary trap for robotic energy acquisition devices."

"Tell me in detail." Xiao Yun signaled, "The clerk remember to keep a record."

Xiao Muhong took out a stack of information, glanced roughly, sorted out his thoughts and language, and said: "The specific solution is as follows: We have jointly developed a technology with the Institute of Mechanics, Institute of Power, Institute of Promotion, Institute of Energy and other institutions of the Academy of Sciences. This technology can show energy conversion efficiency beyond this level at a lower level of technology. That is, when the technology is one, the efficiency of the energy acquisition device can be equivalent to the equipment manufactured when the technology is two. This technology is far ahead of the original technology level, but it only needs the original technology level to be manufactured."

To give a simple example, Xiao Muhong joined hands with many institutes of the Academy of Sciences to find a method equivalent to "making guns and cannons in the feudal era of human beings". The more attractive the hot weapons such as guns and cannons are to people in the feudal era, the more attractive the method developed by Xiao Muhong is to robots.

The mission of robots is to reproduce. In order to reproduce, they must evolve and must have a high pursuit of technology. How to judge whether a technology is advanced? The method is very simple. You only need to judge a few key indicators of a technology to distinguish it. Then... the technology developed by Xiao Muhong will inevitably be judged as advanced in the robot's evaluation system, and advanced technology will inevitably guide the robot to evolve in the direction of technology, leading to the large-scale application of this technology by robots.

"But this energy acquisition device has a fatal flaw, which is exactly the trap," Xiao Muhong continued. "At a low level of application, this technology can bring great benefits to the robot group and greatly improve their energy acquisition efficiency. However, when the robot's own technology develops to a certain extent and reaches a certain level, this fatal flaw will be exposed: during the long interstellar navigation, the energy acquisition device manufactured with this technology will fail due to long-term operation and the influence of interstellar radiation, thereby cutting off the robot's energy supply. Without energy supply, the robot will naturally die."

"Simply put, because of the advanced nature of this technology, robots will inevitably choose to adopt this technology. After adopting this technology, once they conduct cross-stairs navigation, they will lose their energy supply due to defects and will never be able to recover. In this way, we have achieved the goal of destroying the robot group."

There are several key logical progression in Xiao Muhong's solution. The first logic is that the technology is advanced and can greatly improve the energy supply efficiency of robots. This leads to the second logic, that is, because the technology is advanced, the robot will inevitably adopt this technology, and then lead to the third logic: because the robot will inevitably navigate across the stellar system when it reaches a certain stage of development. And because of the technology, once the robot sails across the stellar system, it will die due to the defect.

These three logics are progressing layer by layer, without any loopholes, and the logical foundation is extremely solid. Because of this, this solution is extremely feasible.

Xiao Yun was silent for a moment and said, "Xiao Muhong, your plan seems flawless, but I wonder if you have noticed a feature exposed by the robot group when we used smallpox virus to attack the robots in the previous stage?"

"Please say it."

"This characteristic is that once there are abnormal large number of robot deaths within the group, the exhaustive evolution of the robot group will be turned on. The defects of the energy acquisition device will cause a large number of robots to die, but... what if the robots start the exhaustive evolution again due to this large number of deaths, and thus find a way to solve the defect?"
