Chapter 4: strange robot
Pai is a scout-type robot whose main mission is to search, detect, identify and sneak attack on hostile targets. Pai is small in size, and uses a variety of stealth technologies when making it, which has a high degree of invisibility.
At this time, he was walking at the front of the team. Although it looks no different from the usual him, the detection wave built into the body has spread out layer by layer in a corrugated shape with his body as the center, and the terrain distribution within a radius of one kilometer is presented three-dimensionally in the brain.
Pi is simultaneously sharing the mirror data it has collected with its peers through the local area network.
All the evidence proves a fact: this is an extremely desolate planet. The soil is barren and barren, and there is absolutely no trace of other human activities.
In this case, the appearance of that young human was even more abrupt.
How did he survive the harsh environment of this planet alone without the adult body beside him? In the information sent by Pai, Alpha noticed the existence of a beast. It was a huge beast that existed outside his database. They lived in groups on this planet. They were definitely carnivores.
Alpha's gloom screen quietly flashed a wavy blue light.
The increasingly urgent warning sound in his body reminded him all the time. At this time, it was only 8 minutes and 4 seconds before the official activation of the self-destruction system.
At this moment, Pai suddenly said: "A suspicious target was found at 800 meters ahead at ten o'clock! The risk factor is 1! Do you need to clear the suspicious target?"
"Let's go and have a look." The doubts about the young humans were temporarily put into the queue of pending tasks, and Alpha's attention at this moment was completely attracted by the suspicious target that was discovered: it was a robot!
On a very backward planet that had been judged by Alpha to have no advanced productivity, a robot suddenly appeared, how could he not care?
The five robots immediately rushed to the target with the fastest speed.
From the moment that robot entered the explorable range, Pi immediately scanned it thoroughly, from the outside to the inside.
"...The target robot body is completely forged from stainless steel. This material is the mainstream material of the first-generation robot. It was abandoned and used as early as 780 years ago when the second-generation body was born..."
"There is absolutely no weaponry inside and outside the body, excluding the possibility that the opponent is a combat robot... The internal parts are severely worn..."
While advancing at full speed, Pi reported the results of the second scan to other robots. Therefore, as early as the beginning of meeting the other party, Alpha and his party had a detailed and comprehensive understanding of the situation of the unfamiliar robot.
However, when they actually saw each other, they still crashed for 0.1 millisecond.
Although I have long known that this robot is an antique, it is too antique.
It is completely different from the Alpha line with the same color of the body. This robot does not have a metal of the same color on the whole body. At first glance, it is pieced together.
Even the mechanical arm is missing one side, and I don't know who repaired it for him. The missing arm was actually replaced by a wooden material.
It also…
It is completely beyond the scope of logical calculation - the robot headed by Alpha thinks invariably.
Rolling at the feet of this hilarious assemblage of junk, barely a robot, was a slightly newer vegetable basket stuffed with a large ball.
His leg also fell off. Although he was very old and worn, it could be seen that the reason for the fall of this leg was not that it fell off while walking, but that it was forcibly torn off by external intervention.
The stump of the robot was found not far away. Alpha carefully looked at the tooth marks on it and determined that the murderer was the large beast that appeared in the video sent by the previous party.
The robot was attacked by a beast, but the other party soon found that the prey was not tasty at all, and threw him here.
"Let's get out of here." Throwing the mechanical stump in his hand to the ground, Alpha's emotionless voice sounded again.
Even if they were all robots, Alpha couldn't have the slightest sympathy for him. Such a rudimentary robot should have no intelligence at all, but as machines, they couldn't communicate at all.
However, something even more out of the category of Alpha logic happened—
"Good day, hello."
Just when Alpha and the others turned to leave, an inappropriate greeting came clearly from their feet.
The unique voice of the robot is that garbage-like robot!
Alpha suddenly stopped.
The model of this robot is too primitive. There is no network in the body at all, and it cannot communicate with other robots using brain waves. He can only speak to his own kind through the human means of voice.
"Hello, may I ask that you are also a robot, aren't you?"
The broken limb doesn't make the robot feel pain, so his voice sounds very calm.
"Yes." Alpha turned around and looked down at the robot that was almost falling apart on the ground. The part where the opponent made the sound was the position of the head. Compared with other parts of the body, the head of this robot was the most complete.
Alpha feels a little weird.
He thought that a robot without intelligence at all could actively communicate with him, which was very strange!
"Hello, my kind, I haven't seen you here before, have you just come here?" Not only was he able to communicate actively, his logic was also very clear.
"Yes." Alpha answered him truthfully.
"I have lived on this planet for five hundred years, and all the information here is stored in my brain. Since my hard disk capacity is not large enough, only a part of it is stored, and the other part is stored by me on another hard disk. elsewhere."
"All of this can be given to you."
He said such a paragraph, and because of the bluntness of the robot's voice, his words sounded flat, without a trace of emotion, and without any inclination.
But Alpha still heard his latent words.
"Give me such precious information, what do you want me to exchange?"
Ipsilon and the others may not be able to hear it, but Alpha, who has dealt with humans the most, immediately heard from the other party's words that the other party was asking for himself.
"I hope you can take care of a human for me after I break down." No matter how cleverly he spoke, the other party was always a robot, and he very honestly stated his exchange conditions.
"A human named Mugan is four years, seven months and three days old this year. You can retrieve his video data from my hard drive later. I hope you can take care of him instead of me after I break down."
It is still a very cold and stiff mechanical sound, but it sounds different from the usual mechanical sound.
"He's a very caring human, and won't waste a lot of your energy."
"Did you come here with other humans? If so, please give Mugan to other humans. If not, you must also find a human to be the master, right?"
"Muggan would be a good host, the best human I've ever met."
The robot continued to speak, and the noise in his voice became more and more. If what he said at the beginning was very logical, then what he said next was illogical.
It's something that only humans can say—Alpha tilted his head.
"Please." Finally said a sentence, the tattered robot looked at Alpha motionless.
The red light disappeared from the area of his eyes, and he didn't make any sound for the next time.
In human terms, he died.
In robot parlance, he's broken.
"It's just out of oil." Picking up the broken robot and checking it, Alpha instructed Epsilon: "Put away everything on the ground, and let's go back to where we were."
"Yes." Ipsilon responded to him with a sullen voice, and then dutifully put away all the parts of the strange robot on the ground, and even put away the vegetable basket on the ground.
The four robots returned quickly.
At this time, it was only three minutes before the self-destruction system was activated.
