Ruyizhai

Wu Xingchen turned the page backwards, but the news stopped at the proposal page and remained motionless. A white cat poked its head out from his bracelet and looked at him with big round eyes. There were two lines between the ears: Looking for the terminal During the signal, please be patient and wait meow.

Wu Xingchen raised his hand a little higher, and the cat stretched out a paw from the bracelet, raising it high.The signal from the terminal still did not drop, and two seconds later, the news interface was closed, leaving only the white cat walking silently around Wu Xingchen's bracelet.Wu Xingchen got off the sightseeing car. The air under the car was pungent and exciting. He tried to take a step forward, but it was difficult. He stayed under the car for two seconds and then returned to the car, with his face pressed against the oxygen outlet on the dashboard , took a big breath of oxygen.At this time, Ruyizhai came out of the factory building, got into the car, smiled at Wu Xingchen, and pressed the button of "continue sightseeing".The automatic sightseeing car left Liuxing Manufacturing Factory No. [-].

The female voice on the sightseeing car said: "The next sightseeing spot is the Prometheus Fire Observation Deck."

Ruyizhai clicked "Continue Sightseeing" twice, and the female voice asked, "Are you sure you want to finish sightseeing now and go back to the shuttle station?"

Ruyizhai looked at Wu Xingchen, and whispered softly, "Wu Xingchen, you don't have anything in particular you want to go to?"

Wu Xingchen really didn't have anything in particular he wanted to go to, Ruyizhai looked at him with a smile, and said, "Then let's go back together?"

Wu Xingchen nodded.So, they took the sightseeing bus back to Liuxing Shuttle Station, and Wu Xingchen bought two shuttle flights to Paris in 5 minutes.Ruyizhai fell into a deep sleep after getting on the shuttle, and Wu Xingchen was also very tired. The terminal reminded him that the short stay on Liuxing and frequent space shuttles had caused a certain degree of damage to his physical and mental strength. He must go to sleep as soon as possible to repair his body.

Wu Xingchen quickly fell asleep too.

When the shuttle landed in Paris, it was just dawn, and Wu Xingchen opened his eyes drowsily. Four hours of sleep made his physical strength weaker and his spirit more exhausted. The wristband kept vibrating, and the cat kept scratching. His hands and the movement of "Please continue to sleep" around his body kept flashing red.Wu Xingchen pinched the bridge of his nose and turned off the dynamic reminder.He immediately received a short message from the Health Department, your outpatient appointment has been sent, please see the doctor immediately.

Wu Xingchen pinched the bridge of his nose again, and glanced at Ruyizhai, he was already in good spirits, walking like flying, pulled Wu Xingchen off the shuttle, called a special car, and went straight to the observatory.Arrived at Clara's place, entered the elm elevator, the elevator plummeted, Wu Xingchen came to his senses a little bit, rubbed his eyes and asked Ruyizhai: "Going down?"

Ruyizhai looked at him with a smile: "You are dreaming."

Wu Xingchen hastily pointed his head at the elevator door as if he was going to hit it, but he hesitated for a while and didn't hit it.He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, it's not a dream, it's really going down."

Ruyizhai snorted, and pushed his chin towards the elevator door, the elevator stopped, he opened the door, a white light flooded in, Wu Xingchen squinted his eyes, his vision became very narrow, and he could only see a hair Ruyi Zhai walked out from the corner of his eye and walked to this path.He follows him.After walking like this for a while, Wu Xingchen's eyes could adapt to the white light around him. He found that he and Ruyizhai were indeed walking on a white path, but there were some things hidden on both sides of the path, which made it almost impossible to see clearly. Under the shelter of the surrounding white light, it must take some time to recognize them from the vision that is almost blinded by the white light.They were cylindrical bottles of various lengths, and what was contained in them was unknown.Paths with too strong a white light could not illuminate them.

Ruyizhai stopped, Wu Xingchen bumped into him, he apologized, took a step back, and looked forward.Ruyizhai stopped in front of a boxy metal bed.A person was lying on the bed, covered with a white cloth.Wu Xingchen asked, "Someone passed away?"

Ruyizhai said to the white cloth: "You wait here, I'll go eat something."

Wu Xingchen asked him: "Wait? What are you waiting for?"

Ruyizhai pointed to the metal bed, turned and walked away, Wu Xingchen carefully lifted the corner of the white cloth, saw Clara under the white cloth, closed his eyes tightly, and put his hands on his chest.Wu Xingchen turned his head and shouted, "Clara passed away??"

Ruyi Zhai has disappeared.Clara spoke: "Mr. Wu, have you finished your vacation so soon? Is Liuxing having fun? You look so haggard, do you want to sit down for a while and rest?"

His eyes remained tightly shut.Wu Xingchen looked up, down, left, and right, and a cylinder rose from the ground behind him, which just reached the position of his thigh, and he sat on the cylinder, looking at Clara: "Can you see me? "

Clara smiled.Suddenly, Wu Xingchen felt thousands of pairs of red eyes staring at him in the dense darkness above his head, he quickly raised his head, but all he saw was darkness.Darkness surrounded him like a hood.

A mechanical skeleton descended in front of him, hanging above Clara's body.

Clara was still lying on the metal bed.

The mechanical skeleton is covered with a layer of virtual portrait, which looks like a young man.

Clara said: "This is what the Type II robot looked like before it was modified."

As soon as he finished speaking, the appearance of the avatar began to change. His cheekbones were raised, his chin was shortened by three millimeters, his hair and eyes became darker, the soles of his feet shrank, and his fingers grew by five millimeters.

The young man's appearance became somewhat familiar.

Clara added: "This is what he looks like after the transformation."

"In addition, when the exterior transformation was carried out, his interior also underwent a mandatory transformation."

"A long time ago, robots were actually a program. They used codes implanted by humans to think logically. Everything was passive. After a long evolution, they became active. Their programs were mastered by themselves. According to the new According to human beings, they are not programs, they are living beings with souls. However, the self-destruct design of robots is like a back door of the program. Although it is difficult to enter the program through this back door, it is not impossible."

"This robot self-destructs out of 'obedience'."

Wu Xingchen tried to understand Clara's words: "You mean that his sense of autonomy was forcibly deprived, and he was murdered?"

Clara smiled and said, "You new humans are so nice to talk to. Someone bought him, forcibly transformed him, and let him use him for his own use. If he thinks he's useless, he'll be blown up."

Wu Xingchen had a headache, and Clara said, "Take a break."

He said, "Go to sleep for a while."

He fell silent, the chair Wu Xingchen was sitting on lowered, and his arms could rest on the metal bed. He was indeed sleepy and wanted to sleep, and his consciousness became more and more blurred. When he was drowsy, Wu Xingchen Seeing that Ruyi Zhai came back, she saw Clara sitting up.He heard the two of them talking.What Clara seemed to be saying was, that's the only place you know.Clara asked Ruyizhai, what should he do.

Ruyizhai glanced at him.

Wu Xingchen lay on the metal bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, there was no one around, and the frame of the mechanical body was also missing. He got up and walked back along the white path under his feet. After walking 120 steps, he couldn't figure it out, talking to himself Said: "The elevator should be here."

He was nowhere near that metal bed.He looked at his feet, and then at the sides. The black bottles on the side might be filled with black ink, so he couldn't see a trace of the strange color, so it was opaque.

Wu Xingchen continued to walk forward, counting his steps.

150.

160.

190.

210.

He came to the end of the path, and at the end was a black bottle, so inconspicuous that he almost ran into it head-on.

The bottle was made of glass, and it was cold to the touch.

"Are you still there?" Clara's voice sounded from behind Wu Xingchen.

Wu Xingchen looked back, embarrassed: "I wanted to find an elevator, but I didn't know how to get here..."

Clara walked towards him, smiling.Wu Xingchen asked, "Where is Ruyi Zhai?"

"Him?" Clara laughed, her eyes curled up, "He left early."

"Gone? Where did you go?"

Clara said, "To New York." "New York?"

"Next time you meet him, just ask him directly," Clara walked to Wu Xingchen, hooked his shoulders, raised a finger and said, shaking: "But young man, remember, don't trust him." if."

Clara said, "Don't believe a word he says."

Clara said again: "So, have you thought of the answer? Why does the robot retain the design of self-destruct setting? Think about it, if the robot does not have the self-destruct setting, the tragedy that happened to the Type II robot you found It won't happen, right? They are completely free living beings. It is impossible for any program to be invaded by others, and then become someone else's tool, toy, accessory, mercenary, free will, and do whatever they want... Could it be? Isn't it?"

Wu Xingchen said: "Only experts in mechanical bodies have a lot of knowledge about mechanical bodies."

Clara smacked her lips: "Oh, mechanical experts have brains, don't you have brains too? You think!"

Wu Xingchen has reason and evidence: "But the reserve of knowledge is different. Thinking without a considerable reserve of data and theoretical knowledge is just fantasy, and it is completely unnecessary."

Clara laughed, patted Wu Xingchen on the back twice, and winked: "Do you want to see what's inside?"

He pointed to the black bottle.

The bottle is actually very tall, three meters high. The diameter of the bottle cannot be seen clearly, but it can be felt that it has a large capacity.It is like a load-bearing column, supported at the end of the road.

What is it?

Inside it... what?

It seemed to be staring at him.

Wu Xingchen's wristband vibrated, he raised his hand and saw a scrolling meeting reminder: There is still half an hour until the mobilization meeting, and it only takes 10 minutes to arrive at the Earth Museum from your current location!Do you want to book a black cat car now?

Wu Xingchen broke out in sweat: "Why is it already Monday?"

He has to go to the museum now!
