Earth Era - Chapter 286
It is no exaggeration to say that a robot with the ability to infinitely replicate itself is the most terrifying thing in the universe. They are just a program. There is no concept of sustainable development or ecological environment in their world. The only purpose of their existence is to replicate themselves as much and as quickly as possible. This will cause them to destructively develop here in a very short period of time every time they arrive at a star system, consume the resources of a star system in a short period of time, and then move on to the next star system.
During this process, their numbers will increase geometrically. Xiao Yun has done some related calculations and concluded that if there is the first robot that can infinitely replicate itself in a star system similar to the solar system, if there is no accident, it and its replicas will be able to reproduce within a short period of time. Occupy the entire star system within ten years.
The scary thing about this stuff is the sheer amount of it. It may be tens of millions of trillions of robots like the tide. They are simply unkillable. No matter how many such robots are killed, as long as one is left, it will grow again in a very short period of time. . The Institute of Artificial Intelligence of the Academy of Computing Science, where Xiao Yun belongs, has made some speculations about the possible existence of this type of robot. The conclusion is that with the strength of human civilization, it is impossible for human civilization to defeat a developed robot empire.
It is not a simple matter to create a robot with the ability to replicate itself infinitely, at least for human civilization, but it cannot be done at this stage, and it does not mean that it cannot be done in the future. Maybe in the next moment, because of the birth of a certain genius idea, it will be possible to create such a robot. These are all bad things to say.
It is precisely because they are aware of the huge threat that this form of existence may bring to the entire human civilization that the government of human civilization attaches such importance to this matter, so the head of state has the idea of sending Earth-class warships to the Raqqa galaxy. The Führer’s idea is very simple. If those things in the Raqqa galaxy are not infinitely replicating robots, it would be fine. If they are…then rely on the powerful offensive capabilities of Earth-class spaceships. Nip these terrifying monsters in their infancy, never allow them to spread to the rest of the star system, and never allow them to develop.
This was originally a very clear logical structure, but. The thing similar to the challenge book that was sent back to Earth along with the distress signal, however, covered the matter with a layer of fog. Because this information means that this incident is most likely a conspiracy of some forces within human civilization, and… it has a very close relationship with Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun would never have imagined that after waking up from hibernation, he would be greeted by such a shocking news.
The two investigators were silent, and Xiao Yun also began to be silent. A dull and solemn atmosphere was constantly brewing in the office. a long time. Xiao Yun stood up and said, “If there is any new news… please let me know at any time.”
The two investigators shook hands with Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun left.
Xiao Yun returned to his home where he had been away for forty years. Although it has been forty years, the home is still clean and dry, and all the arrangements have not changed in the slightest. Just like every normal day in the past, Xiao Yun sat in front of the desk and took out a book to read, but after a while, Xiao Yun put the book down.
Xiao Yun’s heart was very restless, which caused Xiao Yun to not read a single word at all. After putting the book down, Xiao Yun picked up the paper and pen. Then began a very random sketch.
“If it’s a robot that can replicate itself indefinitely… then it must have a complete set of mineral resource collection and refining devices inside.” Xiao Yun thought silently, drew a box on the paper, and then put the box inside. Divided into more small grids.
“They will collect the minerals they need to replicate themselves through mineral collection and refining devices, such as steel, chips, rubber, cables… Strictly speaking, there must be a lot of these things on a planet. However, it is not easy to collect and separate them. This means that the collection and refining device inside the robot must be very efficient and precise, and the volume must not be too large.”
So Xiao Yun wrote the words “collection device” on a small grid in that box. In another small box, the words “refining device” were written.
“It must also have extremely efficient material processing capabilities. Only in this way can it manufacture the collected minerals into the parts it needs to replicate itself.” Xiao Yun continued to think, and once again wrote in another small grid “Processing device” four words.
“It has to have a place inside it enough to assemble the robot. That way, it can assemble the machined parts here into a complete new robot with the same structure as itself.”
“If there really is a robot that can replicate itself indefinitely, then it must have these structures inside it. They eat minerals, smelt, and process them. Then create new robots, and after the new robots are made, they are discharged. Outside the body, so it completes a process of reproduction. The daughter robot has the same function and structure as its parent. After being manufactured, it will repeat the behavior of the parent~www.mtlnovel.com~ continue to make new robots …”
“But it’s just a process of reproduction, only these things are not enough.” Xiao Yun continued to think silently, “In order to ensure its survivability and the need to collect minerals, it must have a power device and it must be able to move freely. Wheels like this It is obviously not suitable for the complex topography of the planet’s surface, and the limbs similar to humans or other animals are the most suitable.”
So Xiao Yun drew a few legs outside the box.
“If it has legs, there must be a power transmission device inside, and there must be a power generation device. In order to maintain the operation of its own body, it must have an energy collection device inside.”
Xiao Yun wrote the names of these devices in another small square.
“Equally for survival and self-preservation, it also needs a weapon device to attack alien life that may pose a threat to itself.”
“Perhaps… In order to repair and replace the damaged parts inside itself, it will also have an internal maintenance device… In order to identify friends and foes and link multiple machines, it also needs a set of extremely sophisticated communication devices…” (To be continued. )
