Earth Era

The robots on Eris followed the same reproductive journey as the robots on Pluto. Up to now, their number has reached hundreds of billions, and they have completely occupied the surface of Eris, the underground, and the sky.

Reproduction is the first priority for robots, and at this moment, if they want to reproduce, they must evolve. Therefore, after acquiring foreign technologies and judging that these foreign technologies could give them more powerful capabilities, the robots immediately began their evolutionary journey without hesitation.

The scope of their activities is gradually expanding, and accordingly, the vigilance force of human civilization is also increasing. Obviously, the larger the range of activities that the robot group can move, the greater the difficulty of vigilance. These are hundreds of billions or even trillions of robots. It is not easy to seal them around Eris and prevent a single robot from escaping.

But even if this thing is not easy, human civilization must do this. Because... even if just one robot escapes from the surveillance of human civilization, that would be a serious consequence that human civilization cannot bear.

In order to accomplish this, General Emerk mobilized tens of thousands of warships and a larger number of forts, armed satellites, surveillance equipment, etc. and deployed them around Eris, truly turning the Eris domain into a dragnet.

Just as Xiao Muhong expected, the robots did not realize that the "technology" they acquired this time had loopholes. They evolved completely according to the path Xiao Muhong planned for them, and in several This evolution was completed after months.

Xiao Muhong's team planned a complete technology tree for the robot group, which meant that it could not be fully carried by just one spaceship or any other creation. So, after the first spaceship was digested by the robots, the second specially-made human creation soon arrived. After the second one comes the third, the fourth...

These things are either spaceships, satellites, engineering equipment, or some daily necessities... They may not seem to be related at all, but they are connected internally, and there is a faint clue. Connecting all these things together, this clue is the technology tree with loopholes planned by Xiao Muhong's team.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these years, Xiao Yun, Xiao Muhong and the staff of the Scientific Affairs Committee have been carefully feeding these animals living on Eris according to the predetermined recipes. robots, hoping that they can move forward and grow according to their own imagined path. The robots did not disappoint Xiao Yun and others. After these few years have passed, they have completely grown into what Xiao Yun and others wanted them to be.

Then...the next step of the experiment can already be carried out. Whether the evolutionary trap is useful to the robot group will soon be verified by reality.

"Sometimes I always feel that this evolutionary trap plan was not actually first proposed by our Scientific Affairs Committee. During the development of our human civilization, we have already carried out evolutionary trap attacks on many other species..."

In the Eris scientific research base, Xiao Yun put down the data report, rubbed his forehead slightly tiredly, and then said to Xiao Muhong who was standing by.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xiao Muhong asked.

Xiao Yun stood up, walked to the window of the scientific research base, and stared at the bright spot in the distant sky with no emotion on his face.

Due to the requirements of artificial gravity, the scientific research base is always rotating, so the bright spot keeps flashing past and reappearing in front of the window, flashing and reappearing, in a continuous cycle.

"I wonder if the domestication of other species by us humans can be regarded as an evolutionary trap attack?" Xiao Yun sighed and said, "For example, the correct evolutionary path for wild boars should be to evolve sharper tusks, stronger muscles and thicker But our human civilization intervened, and the evolutionary path of wild boars was changed. Their bodies became larger and larger, their movements became slower and slower, and their temperaments became more and more docile... They can produce more for us humans. More meat. We are changing the evolutionary path of wild boars according to our will, so that wild boars will eventually grow into what we need."

"In a broad sense, this can indeed be regarded as an evolutionary trap attack. Our ancestors used evolutionary traps to attack wild boars, maximizing the interests of us humans." Xiao Muhong said lightly.

Xiao Yun continued: "It's not just wild boars... chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats, etc... many species have been attacked by the evolutionary trap of our human civilization. It seems that we humans originally He has the talent to evolve trap attacks. You see, the robots living on Eris are growing according to our will at the moment, and eventually grow into what we want them to be... They, and are being developed by our human civilization How similar species like the domesticated wild boar are.”

"From this aspect, it is indeed very similar." Xiao Muhong said, "The domestication of wild boars and other species has brought benefits to our human civilization. I think the "domestication" of robots will also benefit our human civilization. Civilization brings benefits. Of course, robots are not edible, and the only benefit they can bring us is...death. Only dead robots are good robots."

"But I'm always a little worried." Xiao Yun sighed. "To be honest, I can't find any loopholes in the evolutionary trap attack plan, but... don't forget that human civilization can never completely domesticate another species. Stupid Domestic pigs and docile pet dogs will immediately start a degeneration process after losing human care and re-entering the natural environment. They will regain their wild nature and tusks. This is an obsession rooted deep in their genes. And there’s no way we humans can eliminate that.”

"I don't understand what you mean." Xiao Muhong said.

"I'm talking about my worries about the robot group." Xiao Yun said, "Without human care, domestic pigs will degenerate into wild boars, and... without our feeding, will the robot group also have a similar phenomenon? We Can the evolutionary trap attack and the specially-made "technological food" we provide continue?"

"I think your worries are completely unnecessary." Xiao Muhong said, "We will know soon whether the evolutionary trap attack is effective."

"Okay, okay, I hope I'm overthinking it." Xiao Yun said, "So, are the experiments ready?"

"Ready." Xiao Muhong replied, "The high-power wireless broadcasting equipment is ready. As long as you give a command, the wireless signal carrying special data will sweep across the entire Eris. The star and surrounding robots will receive this signal, and their modified bodies will undergo interesting changes after receiving this signal, and their core chips will be burned... and they will die."

"Very well, let's get started."

"Okay." Xiao Muhong said and left Xiao Yun's office and came to the operation room. Under the gaze of many scientific researchers, he pressed the big red button hard. A signal carrying a special code immediately set off from here at the speed of light, and arrived on Eris in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Xiao Yun turned on the projection equipment in his office, and the scene above Eris immediately appeared in front of Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun saw those bustling and dense robots, which occupied the sky and the earth, and even occupied the underground...

Some of them are growing, some are giving birth to the next generation, some are eating, some are flying, some are digging holes... They are completely maintaining their daily lives, and there seems to be nothing abnormal about them. But at the next moment, all movements of these robots stopped.

The robots flying in the sky lost their propulsion at this moment, and they began to fall to the surface of the planet like raindrops. The crawling robots stopped there instantly, as if they had been hit by a immobilization spell. The robot crawling on the mountain instantly rolled down, and the robot that was doing excavation work also stopped its movements instantly...

All robots, no matter what they were doing, no matter where they were, whether it was the sky or the earth, all robots lost their autonomy the moment the signal arrived. The world of robots, which was extremely noisy just a moment ago, became completely quiet at this moment.

A flood of signals flooded into the scientific research base. These tens of trillions of signals were exactly the same. They only showed one thing: the core chip was destroyed and the robot died.

Thousands of trillions of signals showed that tens of trillions of robots died in that instant.

In this moment, all the robots living on Eris died, without any exception.

There was a communication request linked to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun answered it, and General Emerk's shocking words reached Xiao Yun's ears: "Is this, is this an evolutionary trap attack? This... this is simply incredible. , it’s so shocking... Trillions of robots all died quietly like this, so quickly that they couldn’t even start exhaustive evolution. You know, even if our military wants to eliminate such It is not an easy task to have multiple robots, and you have achieved this with just one wireless signal..." (To be continued~^~)
