He suddenly heard a strange man's voice in his room. Before Sean could react, Xiao Chenyi had already turned around and kicked the person behind him who was making the sound.

It was only after the gesture was passed that he saw the person. In fact, it was not a person, but the robot X standing behind them.But Xiao Chenyi couldn't hold back the force of his kick, and of course he didn't deliberately want to hold back the force. Robot X was kicked flying by him, and fell heavily on the ground, his chest was obviously dented again.

Xiao Chenyi pursed his lips, looked at Sean without changing his face and asked: "The clothes on this robot X are quite suitable, did you buy them?" Sean did not show much surprise this time, looking at the robot X responded, "The metal on his body is not difficult to find in the market, but it will cost a lot of money to replace the metal every month. The clothes are bought by Rolls, and they fit really well."

"That's right. Laus Karl's work is really reassuring." Xiao Chenyi nodded and changed the subject: "Not enough, I haven't paid much attention to it, but it's the first time I heard him speak today, and I didn't realize it. It sounds too similar The voice of a real person."

Indeed, what Robot X said really sounded like a human voice.Xiao Chenyi, the imperial robot, has seen quite a lot, but his speech is always in a cold mechanical voice, with a sense of metal.Just like Roy the robot, he would say hello to Sean and welcome everyone who came here, but his tone never fluctuated too much.All his speech and actions were set, but this robot X just spoke behind them, Xiao Chenyi really thought it was a person behind them, otherwise he wouldn't have such a big reaction.

At this time, Robot X stroked the sunken chest that had been kicked, and slowly stood up.And Roy, the robot next to Sean, seemed to understand what happened. He wanted to walk to Robot X, but he had been modified by Sean to run the program, so he couldn't move at will.Garbled characters immediately appeared in his eyes, which is a phenomenon that the program is about to crash.

Sean froze for a moment, and hurriedly set his program to a paused state.Robot X spoke at this moment, with a hint of nervousness and fear in his voice: "Cut off his connection with Ultrain, or we will be in big trouble."

Without hesitation, Sean immediately cut off the link between the robot Roy and the Super Brain.Then he stood there, looking at talking robot X.This robot has the proportions of human limbs, human skin, and human face. He is handsome and handsome. At this moment, there is a trace of panic on his face. At a glance, anyone will feel that the person standing in front of them is a living person. Think of it as a robot.

Thinking of this, Sean's face changed instantly, Xiao Chenyi didn't quite understand what happened, but looking at Robot X, he felt a creepy feeling.

X showed them a wry smile, walked up to Sean and Xiao Chenyi, lowered his head, and said with some frustration: "I think you have also seen that I am different from ordinary robots."

"You have wisdom." Sean said in a cold voice, robots do not have life intelligence, all their actions and services are controlled by orders, but now a robot with human intelligence appeared in front of him, even if he is as calm as him , can not but be surprised.

Xiao Chenyi looked at Robot X, then at Sean, feeling extremely bad in his mind, he said in surprise: "...What do you mean? He is not a robot anymore? Has he become a real human? Mutated? "He has read the story of the fox who has cultivated for thousands of years to seek revenge, and he has also read the story of the female ghost and the scholar falling in love.He has also seen all kinds of advanced weapons in this world.Xiao Chenyi feels that he is already a qualified future man, but when he sees a robot that has turned into a human, he can only say that the world is too big and the technology is too advanced, only the ancients can't think of it, and people without the future can't do it.It's just that if this is true, then things are not easy to handle.

Robot X nodded silently. He looked at Sean with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "I am indeed conscious. How did you find out? Are you going to destroy me?"

Sean frowned slightly: "Did you remove the traces in the holographic surveillance video at home?" Robot X nodded, and said innocently: "I walked around the house, afraid that you would see my strangeness, so I removed those traces. Those were eliminated."

"What about Roy?" Sean asked again. After hearing this, Xiao Chenyi suddenly understood. These days, he always felt that something was wrong with Roy, but he just didn't think deeply about it. He thought it was a program setting What about the problem.Besides, no matter how he thought about it, he would never have thought that a robot could think and have an independent personality.

Xiao Chenyi raised his eyes to look at Roy. Roy was still suspended, but there was a trace of bewilderment and panic on his face.This is indeed an expression that a person has.

"What's going on here? How were you produced? Where were you produced? Why did you appear in my house?" Sean asked Robot X in a cold voice.He never believed in changes for no reason. He always felt something was wrong with the holographic surveillance at home. He felt that Xiao Chenyi's inadvertent words made sense. If it wasn't man-made, then something went wrong. It's just that he didn't expect things to turn out like this than I expected.

Robot X looked at Sean and lowered his eyes: "Actually, I don't know what's going on. I don't know where we were produced. I only know that many robots like me were produced. Our The program is set to be a military robot, and the purpose of our program is to destroy all the established targets. They made us look like humans, and at first they just wanted to blur the sight of humans. But I don’t know what’s going on. When the program is linked, we can suddenly think. There are a hundred robots in our group, and seven or eight of them are like me who can think. When we are just conscious, we can’t control ourselves very well. After shooting the human beings who made us, those robots that could think like me were burned and cleaned up. But soon new intelligent robots appeared, and those robots had fewer program bugs and became easier to be manipulated. Human control. I was brought to Imperial City by someone. He told me to clean me up after the performance. I didn’t want to be cleaned up, so I escaped and came here. In my basic program setting, there is a recall code, so I can’t link with Ultrain, those people will find out and track me when I link, and then order me to go back, if I resist, it will be automatically destroyed.”

"Who are those who made you? How many of your companions were made?" Sean continued to ask: "Also, how did you escape?"

Robot X shook his head, and said in a daze: "I don't know who those people who produced us are. Those videos and videos have been cleaned up. They only produced ordinary military robots at first, and then they specially produced ours. As for the production I don’t know how much was out. I was a gift that was brought to the Imperial Capital to perform, and they called me Experiment No. [-]. When I woke up on the Imperial Capital, I was in a port. Because I am the first generation of military robots, There is a big loophole in the program, and the intelligence is not high. They didn't have much defense, so I sneaked away while those people weren't paying attention." Speaking of this, his face was slightly red, and his eyebrows were lowered. Shyly said: "When I slipped away, I automatically cut off the link. Of course, for the convenience of leaving, I stole and wore their clothes and walked into the crowd like a human. When I was about to enter dormancy, I didn't want to let humans When I found out that I was special, I took off my clothes again. Then Roy picked me up."

"Thinking carefully, it seems like a human way of thinking." After hearing what he said, Xiao Chenyi made a comment from the side.Sean's eyebrows did not come down. He looked at Robot X, then at Roy, and asked softly, "Will the wisdom you possess spread? How far is Roy now?"

Robot X thought for a while: "You are talking about Roy's situation. I don't know about this, but Roy himself may have a little bit of vague human consciousness, and after I came, he began to have a real consciousness. It’s just that he is too old, and there are loopholes in many places in the default procedures. His consciousness is not so strong, and he can occasionally express his emotions. Of course, when you don’t know, he will also communicate with you. I talked and I am very satisfied with the current situation." After saying this, X lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Then will you destroy me?"

This is the second time he has asked this question, and it can be seen that he is very nervous.Sean and Xiao Chenyi looked at each other, and both felt that the matter was a little serious.

Sean didn't answer this question. At this time, Roy beside him suddenly moved. He forcibly disobeyed Sean's suspension order. He walked up to Sean, smiled slightly, and said with a hint of warmth in his voice: "Sir, recently I often I feel that there is something wrong with my actions, my program is too old. I am very happy to follow you all these years, and I only recently realized how wonderful it is to be happy, and I like this feeling." As he spoke, his Garbled characters kept appearing in his eyes, and a warning red light flashed above his head.

Sean was busy doing automatic maintenance and repairs for him, but nothing worked. The robot Roy entered the countdown to automatic destruction. His blue eyes slowly turned cold. He looked at robot X, "X is not bad, sir Keep him around, he's a military robot that hasn't been activated yet, maybe more dangerous. But if you can find the original code and disassociate him from the military robot, then he is a very good domestic robot, then there will be no Dangerous. It’s just that if it really threatens the lives of the husband and the crown prince, then it’s not too late to destroy him. Don’t give him to others easily.”

After saying this, the garbled characters on Roy's body stopped, his eyes became hollow and cold, the red light above his head was dazzling, and his whole body fell to the ground slumped.The metal supports on the arms and legs snapped off.

Sean looked at the robot lying on the ground, a little dazed.Roy was the first robot he bought with money. For a long time, he regarded Roy as his family.Although he knew that this robot would leave him sooner or later, he didn't expect that when that day really came, he would still be a little overwhelmed.

"Can those people contact you forcibly? Then restore your program settings?" Xiao Chenyi grabbed Sean's hand, looked at X and continued to ask, "Is there any risk for us to keep you?"

"I cut off all the connections, so they couldn't find me. It's just that they inserted monitoring codes on us. This code will connect with Ultrain when the robot has garbled characters, and they will find us based on this. Normally, as long as it does not violate my original programming, I can do everything that ordinary robots can do." Robot X said carefully.

After hearing this, Xiao Chenyi frowned and looked at Roy on the ground. Does Roy's situation count as garbled characters?Although there is no garbled code program in his body, this kind of illegal automatic destruction will also cause abnormalities.

Sean and Xiao Chenyi looked at each other, he set X to sleep mode, and put him in the basement.Then hung up a communication to the people in the robot repair center, asking them to come to repair the robot Roy for him.

Lorraine, a person from the robot repair center, arrived soon. He was a middle-aged female. He looked at the robot Roy on the ground, checked it, looked at Sean and Xiao Chenyi with a somewhat embarrassed face, and said, "General Sean , Crown Prince, the program of this robot has been completely destroyed, and there is no way to repair it. This robot is the first batch of household robots produced by our company, and it is the first generation product. To be honest, its program itself has loopholes. It’s pretty good that the lifespan of the company can reach today. Now our company’s robot has been upgraded to the sixth generation, with more powerful programs and more complete functions. General, why don’t you just replace it with a new one. You can also send this robot back to us Company, we will offset a certain price difference accordingly.”

Sean stood there with a calm expression and did not speak.Xiao Chenyi looked at Sean, patted his hand, and said softly: "Forget it, he is so old, let's just treat him to enjoy his old age. Besides, we are going to get married, so let's get a new one as a gift." It's our own wedding present. Roy has been with you for so long, if you don't want to throw him away, we can buy a new one and put him in the basement as a collection."

Sean looked up at him and nodded.Xiao Chenyi smiled, and he and Sean cleaned up the lifeless robot Roy and put it on the ground, Sean whispered: "Then let's go, buy a new one, and put Roy away .”

So Xiao Chenyi, Sean and Lorraine went directly to the robot company.Lorraine is an employee of the after-sales maintenance center, but if he can sell a robot, there is also a commission, so he is in the company and strongly recommends the latest sixth-generation robot to Sean.It's just that Sean showed a lack of interest. In the end, Xiao Chenyi looked at Sean and smiled, and picked out the most common household robot.

This is the third generation of robots. It looks smaller and more refined than Roy's, and has slightly more functions than Roy's.Sean nodded, expressing that he could accept it, this time Xiao Chenyi paid.

Lorraine was a little downcast about this, but he was a little happy when he thought that the commission of the third-generation robots was a little bit, and everything he got was profitable. After sending Sean and Xiao Chenyi away, Lorraine's account quickly added a small amount of money.

After bringing this new Roy home, Xiao Chenyi charged him up and started his initial program.Then he and Sean exchanged glances, and Sean carried old Roy with him to the basement.

"Someone has sneaked in." In the basement, Sean said: "He checked Roy's procedural problems, and he was very careful that there were no special traces. But before I left, I put some transparent ash. No matter how careful they are, those transparent ash It’s still touched.” The transparent gray is almost white spar, in the form of particles, like dust, and you can’t see it if you don’t look carefully. Sean randomly put some around Roy, and when he came back, the positions of those particles changed .

"Such a person who can enter and leave your house at will is definitely not an ordinary person. This robot X is a disaster if it is placed here." Xiao Chenyi frowned.

"No matter whoever does such a thing, he can't let him succeed." Sean said: "They not only violated the law to research military robots privately, but also deliberately researched this kind of intelligent military robots. If these robots really work in On the battlefield, that would be terrifying."

"Controlling a group of mechanical military robots is of course different from controlling a group of intelligent military robots." Xiao Chenyi lowered his eyes and said: "These robots are a group of killers. They are intelligent, know how to distinguish between the enemy and us, and do not feel pain. , can use all kinds of weapons, is not afraid of death, and can produce endlessly, it is indeed terrifying."

"And now that someone has found their home, that Lorraine will definitely be watched." Xiao Chenyi said: "We must find a way to look at that Lorraine, maybe we can follow the clues and find the mastermind behind this Well." Although I think it will not be so easy, but you have to give it a try, right?

"It's just that if you and I show up, the goal is too big." Xiao Chenyi thought for a while and then said: "They must all know the cronies around you. It's better to find someone who they don't easily doubt."

Sean looked at Xiao Chenyi and said, "I have someone to choose."

"Who?" Xiao Chenyi asked curiously.

Sean said lightly, "You know this man, Leo."

"Leo?" Xiao Chenyi was surprised: "Why did you choose him? Can he do such an important thing?"

"He is a man with a firm mind. Our First Army has actually been cultivating him, but in terms of collecting intelligence, which is different from ordinary training." Sean said lightly: "I have investigated the situation at his home, he My father died because of the war, he hates war, and the most important thing is that he is inconspicuous in the crowd and is very suitable for intelligence gathering work."

Xiao Chenyi said: "It's fine if you think he's suitable."

Sean nodded, and looked at Xiao Chenyi with some hesitation: "Then, do you want to report this to the emperor?" Xiao Chenyi was silent for a while, and said: "I will go back to the palace sometime, let's see the situation then. For some reason, he has become less and less fond of that palace recently.

Sean nodded, Xiao Chenyi didn't ask him if he would mention this matter to the military department, he knew Sean's plan, if the military department was really invulnerable, then no one would break into Sean's house easily.

*****

Lorraine got a commission, although it was very small, but he was very happy when he got it.He was driving his somewhat old hover car to take off, and he thought absently that the robot maintenance business is not so easy now, rich people will replace their robots with new ones if they break down, and those without money will buy them at all. Can't afford a home robot, that's the difference.His job didn't bring about substantial changes in his life.

And at this time, when he was not paying attention, a suspension car collided with him.It was a very beautiful suspension car, and it looked very expensive, and he certainly couldn't afford it.

Lorraine immediately got out of the car to check, and saw that he had hit a concave mark on the upper left corner of the very beautiful suspension car, and he was very scared.At this time, the suspension car opened, and a very gentlemanly female came down and asked him to get on the car to talk about the issue of compensation.

Lorraine thought for a moment and got into the car.Just as soon as he entered, he was hacked and fainted.

When Lorraine woke up again, he was in a strange room, which was very small and bright.He was sitting on a chair, and opposite him sat a man in black with a mask.

Lorraine swallowed tremblingly, terrified, he was just an ordinary citizen, and he was not easy to mess with at first sight.

The man's voice was processed, and the words he said had the coldness of a robot. He looked at Lorraine and asked bluntly, "Are you going to help General Sean repair the robot today?"

Lorraine nodded, and looked at the man in front of him in amazement: "Yes."

"What's wrong with General Sean's robot?" the man asked again.Lorraine pursed her lips. Their robot repair center has a confidentiality principle for customers' repair information.He didn't dare to say it, and said that if he was found out, he would be expelled. Lorraine hung his head and remained silent.

"Tell me, you don't have to go back to the company after you're done, I'll give you a lot of money so that you can spend your whole life comfortably on a planet a little far from the imperial capital." The man said mechanically coldly: "Of course, you can also choose Take these words to the grave and say them in the next life."

Lorraine's heart skipped a beat by his serious threats. He had an intuition that if he didn't follow what he said, he would really die here.Sweat dripped from Lorraine's head. He gritted his teeth and thought, there is nothing to keep secret about repairing the robot for General Sean's family. It is more important to save his life first, so he said: "General Sean's The program code of the robot was disordered today, and it was completely destroyed."

"The program code is disordered?" The man repeated: "How did it happen?" Lorraine pursed her lips: "General Sean's robot is the first generation of robots, and the program itself is not perfect, and there are many system loopholes. I think it's completely normal to have a program disorder this time, this robot has been used for too long."

"Are you sure?" The man looked at Lorraine with cold eyes, like a poisonous snake, and the coldness made his heart numb.

Lorraine nodded quickly, and said: "I'm sure, I have repaired this robot for General Sean many times. His supporting metal has almost been replaced, and many programs are not working. To be honest, this robot can work until Today, it is up to General Sean to spend a lot of money on careful maintenance and replacement parts. But he has only so many years of service life at most. I used to persuade General Sean to change to a new household robot, but he did not change, and has been using this old robot. guy."

"No other reason?" the man asked again.Lorraine was full of doubts: "No, I checked it carefully. There is no other reason, but there are too many loopholes, the program cannot operate, the command to the master cannot be executed, and the program automatically crashes and is broken."

"Then did you see any strange people at General Sean's house?" the masked man thought for a while and asked again.

Lorraine thought for a while, nodded, and the man's eyes lit up: "What kind of person? What are the characteristics?"

Lorraine felt a little uneasy when he saw his excited appearance. He said, "Actually, this person is not surprising. I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at General Sean's house."

The masked man in black: "..." Lorraine didn't seem to be satisfied with the answer, and said with some fear: "General Sean is actually very stubborn. He doesn't want to change the robot. In the end, the crown prince said to change it. They just bought a new one and went back. General Sean is willing to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince. Isn’t it surprising that the relationship between the two of them is so good? Really, that’s all, I didn’t deceive you.”

The man in black lowered his eyes and remained silent. After a long time, he waved his hand. The door was opened silently. Someone came over and covered Lorraine's eyes.Looking at the appearance of the visitor, Lorraine thought to himself that he would remind General Sean when he returned.

After the man took Lorraine down, the masked man removed the mask and voice changer from his face, revealing the face belonging to Marshal Weiss. He sighed, and the door was opened again, and Harold Eli walked in.

Marshal Weiss looked at him, spread his hands, and said: "There is no useful information, it may really be a coincidence. What the maintenance worker said is no different from what we found. It's just that I don't understand, Sean. As a general, why does Rong Ya keep using such an ancient robot?"

Harrow Allie had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes drooping slightly, covering his expression: "I said before, General Sean is a very emotional person, he regards that robot as a relative, not a relative. as a tool."

Marshal Weiss sneered: "Treating robots as relatives? How naive!"

"Whether naive or not, let people pay close attention to every move of the Crown Prince and General Sean." Haro Allie sneered lightly.

"You still suspect that Test Item No. [-] is with Sean?" Marshal Weiss raised his eyebrows.Harold Eli shook his head: "I don't doubt it, but I can't rule out this possibility. What if they paralyzed us? General Sean is a very patient person. As for the crown prince, I knew him well before. Now, I can't see through him, so it's always good to be more careful."

Marshal Weiss nodded: "Then I will send people to pay attention to them, and at the same time continue to search." Haro Allie hummed.
