About two hours later, the crowd arrived at the sinkhole of Mount Huoluo. This sinkhole is indeed very large, with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The strange thing is that there are no demon beasts in the sinkhole. Obviously, this is very abnormal. In the general sinkhole, the vegetation is very rich, and the number of demon beasts is also very large. Some powerful demon beasts often regard the sinkhole as their own nest. However, all this was not found at all in the sinkhole of Huoluo Mountain.

Yan Baoqing muttered to himself: "Impossible, the last time I came, there were demon beasts everywhere in the sinkhole...... There are still big guys everywhere, why are they all gone?"

Li Yuji looked around and said cautiously: "Unfold the battle formation and search carefully." ”

Everyone cautiously searched and moved forward. Xia Xingxiao was responsible for covering in the back, dealing with possible demon beast raids at any time. As a result, surprisingly, they searched the sinkhole carefully, but still found no trace of the demon beast. At this time, they were less than ten kilometers away from the red dot location.

A few minutes later, Feng Shaoyu, who was in charge of reconnaissance in front, returned. He reported that no trace of demon beasts was found in the entire sinkhole. I don't know if the demon beasts in the sinkhole were driven away by someone, or if they were all killed by someone, and they all disappeared cleanly, leaving no trace. However, at the front, he found something stranger. He felt that his words were not easy to describe, and it was better for everyone to go up and have a look.

"What's that?"

A group of people immediately activated the flying technique and followed behind Feng Shaoyu. Outcome. After flying about ten kilometers, they were surprised to see a large number of combat robots appear in front of them. At the red dot is a big red box. Those battle robots are responsible for protecting that box.

"Damn, what is this? Am I mistaken about time and space?" Zhang Xinyuan's voice was loud.

Xia Xingxiao also looked a little surprised. He also thought. In the sinkhole, what powerful monsters will be encountered, I didn't expect it. What they encountered was a large swarm of combat robots. If he didn't know about the Mandala planet, it is estimated that Xia Xingxiao would not have guessed why a large group of combat robots appeared here. Right now. Of course, it couldn't be clearer.

This must have been deliberately arranged from above. It must have been a certain boss above who made a move and drove away all the demon beasts in the sinkhole, and deployed a large number of combat robots here. This large box should also be deliberately placed on it. There must be some good stuff inside this big box. That's what rewards them for successfully reaching their destination. As for whether they can get the box or not, it depends on their own ability.

The bosses above set up the matter of Huo Luoxing so mysteriously, in the setting of this box. It's certainly no different. Those battle robots must not be so easy to deal with. Perhaps, someone will be killed by them. Since so many people have died in front, it is not a big deal to die a few here.

"Paralyzing ...... Even the battle robots have come out!" Yan Baoqing muttered bitterly to himself.

No one knows. What the hell is going on in his heart? What is certain is that Yan Dashao's mood will not be very good. Originally, he was alive and well, and he was full of hope for his future, but he was forcibly dragged to the eighteenth layer of hell by Xia Xingxiao. It's no wonder he's in a good mood. He didn't collapse on the spot, he was already relatively nervous. It seems that Zhang Xinyuan is almost on the verge of a complete collapse.

Xia Xingxiao got as close as possible and carefully observed the robots. Now, their enemies are not the monsters outside, but these robots. Inside that big box, there was no doubt that there should be some good stuff. If they can get these good things, they may be able to deal with the demon beasts outside more easily. However, before that, they must destroy all these combat robots in front of them.

For combat robots, Xia Xingxiao doesn't know much. After humans entered the starry world, in the first and second eras, combat robots were developed in large numbers. Cloning robots also had a time of glory. Compared to space warships, space fighters and mechs, combat robots are inexpensive, simple in technology, and fast in production. On the battlefield, they can quickly form an overwhelming advantage in scale.

Generally speaking, in a large-scale war, with the strength of the Star Federation, it is not a problem at all to produce tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of combat robots within a month. Ordinary combat robots only need more than a hundred catties of alloy, a memory chip, and the simplest laser gun, and the cost of all of them will not exceed 5,000 star coins.

In the early days of Star Wars, it was basically a stage for fighting robots. They are in place of human soldiers. At that time, combat robots often dispatched one or several legions. As soon as the commander gave the order, millions, tens of millions of combat robots were put into battle. It is not surprising at all that after a battle, millions or even tens of millions of combat robots are lost. Anyway, how much is lost in the front, how much is replenished in the back.

But later, with the increasing intensity of the starry sky war, the requirements for combat robots became higher and higher, and ordinary combat robots were completely unable to meet the needs of war, coupled with the rise of mecha and cultivators, the status of combat robots was slowly replaced. By the time of the Third Age, it was rare to see a large number of combat robots dispatched. The location of combat robots is more used to maintain social order and ensure the daily safety of citizens.

It seems that the battle robots named Sun Xiaomei next to Akimika are the latest robot products. If they are put on the battlefield, they will have no effect. They can only function in their day-to-day lives. Generally speaking, people who have the financial ability will equip themselves with some robot bodyguards to avoid accidents.

The gradual withdrawal of the combat robot from the battlefield is not because the mecha and cultivators have grabbed the position of the combat robot, but because its own disadvantages have begun to manifest itself more and more obviously. Specifically, their role on the battlefield is getting smaller and smaller, and the negative role is getting bigger and bigger, which eventually leads to the vast majority of countries having to stop the research and development and application of combat robots. At present, only some private robot companies are still conducting research on robots.

The biggest problem with combat robots is that their combat effectiveness cannot be too strong. Its power, when it increases to a certain extent, enters a bottleneck state. After all, for various reasons, combat robots cannot do very much. Ordinary combat robots, that is, a little larger than ordinary people. If it is larger, the cost will be difficult to control.

Their weapons can't be very powerful. Most combat robots are equipped with the simplest laser guns. Only some high-level combat robots will be equipped with ray guns or energy guns. Sun Xiaomei's series of robots are equipped with more advanced weapons and have stronger combat effectiveness, but the cost will inevitably go up.

The power of all energy weapons is basically proportional to their volume. The smaller the size, the less powerful. The bigger the volume, the more powerful. The size of the Star Destroyer is so large that it is intended to install super-large energy weapons. One-third of the space of the Star Destroyer is in the service of energy weapons.

The firepower of the mecha is not strong enough, and it is also limited by its size, so it is impossible to install high-power energy weapons. As for space fighters, it is even more needless to say. So far, many space fighters are still equipped with outdated nuclear missiles, but because of their size limitations, they cannot be equipped with high-power energy weapons.

Of course, the most important drawback is that the awareness of the combat robot itself is very problematic.

The so-called consciousness is the control program of the combat robot. In layman's terms, it is a program that decides what a combat robot should do, what it should not do, and how it should be done. These programs are integrated into the "intelligent brain" of the combat robot, which is the most important part of the combat robot and is responsible for directing all the actions of the robot.

Combat robots act according to these procedures. If the program does not have instructions in it, it cannot be executed. Similarly, if the program asks it to execute a command, it cannot refuse it. Even if it is an order to blow itself up, it must be unconditionally and unswervingly carried out.

That's where the problem lies. Combat robots perform programs and do not have a sense of judgment of their own. Whoever gives them what kind of programs they carry out, regardless of the origin of these programs, or whether they are legal or harmful to human beings. Once you encounter a virus invasion, it's over.

Wherever there is a program, there will inevitably be a virus. The robot control program of the starry sky world is also full of viruses and anti-viruses. As with viruses and antivirus programs in the age of Earth, the struggle is fierce. All the time, no new viruses emerge. Again, all the time, no new anti-virus programs appear. And the release of the virus is related to the level of science and technology. The higher the level of science and technology, the greater the natural advantage in creating viruses and resisting viruses.

Most of the non-humans in the starry sky have a powerful technological system. Among them, it is represented by the Dega Empire, the Shining Empire, the Saktu Empire, the Berdric Empire, and the Hariran Empire. They all have extremely advanced robot systems. They have more advanced technology than humans in creating viruses, or dismantling them.
