Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 91

dominoes.

Under the blue-purple light, the old man's mechanical arm glowed with a cold luster.

So Nan'an once again saw the pattern clearly - the corolla was stacked in layers, unlike the blooming roses, they stretched upwards, as if carrying a kind of ambition, or in other words, a gesture of aggression.

"Ten years ago, I was at the base just to prove that robots and humans are equal." The old man said, "Therefore, I joined the Silver Bell Sect."

Nan'an opened his eyes slightly: "Then you...are also a scientist at the base?"

The old man shook his head: "Not really, at most he is just an ordinary researcher."

As he spoke, he paused for a few seconds and said, "But my brother is."

"Brother?"

"At that time, I joined Yinling behind his back, and as a scientist, he directly joined the Rose School." The old man stroked the mechanical arm on his body, and his fingertips were covered with black engine oil.

But the tone was unexpectedly calm, "After the invasion happened, Rose and Yinling broke up, and my brother and I also completely parted ways."

Nan Anshun's gaze fell on the silver bell mark again: "Then...is he still a scientist now?"

"Yes." The old man smiled and reached out to close the cap of the engine oil. "He is still so high above, like other scholars, he insists on the law of the rose, and as an opponent, I am completely against it."

Nan'an's eyelashes trembled slightly. At this moment, the old man in front of him seemed to coincide with a certain scientist from the research institute. They had the same eyes and pupil color, and seemed to have the same tone of voice. It is easy to think of everything in the institute before.

But Nan An wasn't sure, so he asked again: "Then why don't you go to Yinling?"

In his understanding, Yinling also has the same city as Rose, and the human society before the split was a complete whole.

"At that time, there were indeed students and scientists from the Silver Bell Sect who invited me, but I was not reconciled." The old man said slowly, "When I decided to go to Yinling, the Rose area was largely blocked. None of those who expressed their support for the Silver Bell Sect escaped, and all were imprisoned in the prison in Ercheng."

"How brilliant the Silver Bell School was at that time. We created robots and cyborgs. Even the Rose School was afraid of these researches, but now I want to go back to the prison/detention center and look at other people's eyes. It's basically a joke."

Nan An swallowed.

He leaned back subconsciously, but saw the old man's eyes on him, an unspeakable emotion, as if regretting the previous technology, or a long-standing resentment.

The old man snorted, and the wine bottle was easily broken open by his mechanical fingertips, and handed to Nan An.

"I don't drink." Nan'an waved his hand.

"Then what else do you want to know?" The old man leaned against the bookcase, "I can tell you everything I know about human beings."

Nan An lowered his eyelashes, and after a while, he whispered, "How did they mutate ten years ago?"

Although Nan'an knew that the invasion was caused by robots, he didn't know the reason—it seemed that they became conscious for no reason, and had a fighting power higher than that of humans, and everything seemed to happen suddenly.

"Ten years ago, when the first-generation robot was developed in the laboratory, an accident happened." The old man said, "At that time, the human being was transformed and had not yet awakened. When the researchers came to check the situation the next day, they found The carafe on the cabinet was broken in one corner."

"At that time, no one cared, and no one thought it was because of the robot. After all, all the data, and even every symbol in the code, represented the most advanced technology of human beings. But... you have to say that it is out of control. It is true that the probability is low. But if you look deeper, it is actually not the case. Sometimes things happen like dominoes. out of control."

Nan An looked at him: "The reason for the mutation is..."

The old man raised his head and took a sip of wine: "Code, source data, calculation instructions, these rigorous data, as long as there is a slight change, it will become the final cause."

Nan'an hugged the bag tightly.

"Then now, so many robots have mutated." He whispered, "Is it because of these programs?"

The old man smiled, and threw the empty wine bottle to his side: "I don't know."

"I have been away from this chaotic society for too long, hiding in this place, every day, every year is so similar, it doesn't make any sense." The old man's voice became very soft, "However, after I escaped to Shangshuilong Tangqian, learned that the mutated data program was stored in the brain, and then divided into two, half of which existed in the rose area, while the other half was taken away by the scientists of Yinling."

Nan'an froze for a moment.

"The mutation you're seeing now may be the result of Yinling and the others re-enacting it through the half of the data," the old man said, "but it's just a simple re-enactment, which is actually not feasible. Just like what you see now Those, will be easily eliminated by fog bombs."

"Do you mean...robots and cyborgs?"

"Yes." The old man said, "Unless there is a bionic human, the robot's consciousness cannot be fully realized."

Nan'an looked at the old man.

"But even so, no matter which faction is now searching for the other half's data." The old man paused for a few seconds and looked at Nan'an, "Do you know why?"

Nan'an thought for a few seconds, then slowly said: "For the sake of position, or... profit?"

The old man pulled the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be looking forward to the blueprint for the future: "If Yinling can combine this data into one, then the whole world will be completely integrated with the machine."

"At that time, human beings will no longer become weak, we can have a harder body, and robots can also become like human beings with emotions, consciousness, and action logic, all of which will become more beautiful." The old man said Holding Nan'an's arm, the muscles on his face full of grooves kept twitching, and it was hard to hide the excitement in his eyes: "I've thought of such a day since the day I joined Yinling, and I feel, feel—it's about to come true."

Nan'an didn't make a sound, nor did he show any resistance. From the eyes of the old man, he seemed to see countless people - Aina, Elina, Weiss, and those mutated humans and robots with consciousness.

These scenes kept flashing back before his eyes, and Nan'an suddenly realized that it was impossible for Rose and Yinling to reconcile, both in the past and now.

As for the half of the data, which existed in Rose's data, he also had a guess.

——Jill and the package he sent to the research institute contained the procedures mastered by Rose City.

And he came to Earth just for that piece of data.

As a robot, as long as he finds this package, whether it is the Kepler base or the Silver Bell City, the data will be merged into one.

So when the time comes... what will happen to the rose area?

What will happen to Lin Ze?

Nan'an shivered a bit. He hugged his arms and tried to curl himself up into a small ball, but he was still trembling.

Just then, a cup of hot water was placed beside him.

"What's in the cloth bag?" The old man turned to cover the hot water bottle, and asked again, "Stolen?"

Nan'an shook his head.

"There is a communicator given by my friend inside." He whispered, "Although it is broken, I want to keep it, so I take it with me."

The old man snorted: "If something is broken, it should be thrown away."

Nan An immediately shook his head: "I don't want it."

"You should have such awareness when you come to Shangshuilongtang." The old man said, "Just like me."

Nan An's eyes turned red again.

Indeed, since the time he was suspected before, he has embarked on a road of no return. The data of the police department has been reported, and both the research institute and the base know his identity.

But why him?

He is just a little robot, he doesn't even want to go to the oasis, he just wants to work with that human being, no matter if his salary is deducted or he treats him fiercely, he will never lose his temper again.

Can you just let him go back to see Lin Ze?

Thinking of this, Nan An sniffled again, tears falling down like beads.He was really sad, his chest was constricted and he panicked, human emotions were like a mountain pressing down on him, and he couldn't say anything.

Nan An cried for a while.

After more than ten minutes, he seemed to be afraid that tears would wet the cloth bag, so he let go, and at this moment, someone grabbed his arm—then, the interlayer of the cloth bag was exposed.

The old man glanced at the communicator and said, "This is it?"

Nan'an sobbed and nodded.

"It may not be successful." The old man took out the repaired instrument from the cabinet on one side, "Try it first and see if it can let you get in touch with that friend again."

The author says:

Lin Ze will be back soon, I will organize the outline tonight, see you at [-]:[-] tomorrow night in the next chapter——

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
