Mecha and God

I traced the contours of the man's face with my fingers.Just looking at his exposed half face, he looks too much like Long Yin, a Long Yin with disheveled hair and childishness in his sleep.But the other half of his face is covered under a hard carapace, together with the neck and drive, which are the characteristics of strange monsters.

"Are you sure he is a fully integrated evolution?" I asked the scientist.

"Uh... there will be a little problem but it won't affect much." His eyes wandered.

"I don't think he just seems to have a problem."

"Then you should see what he looked like a few days ago."

The scientist walked to the computer and called up the surveillance video.The whole process of his transformation is recorded above in a fast-forward manner.He was first transformed from a dying person into a strange demon, but soon, the hard muscles and carapace on the surface began to dehydrate and decay, like a collapsed cocoon, and the reborn soldier exposed his face from under the peeling skin .

I was frightened, but the scientist was elated, "This is the process by which the β-type Aspartum virus acts on the cells of the whole body and fuses with the gene."

"Aside from the fact that the secretions on the surface of his body can hurt people, what are the side effects?"

The scientist was dumbfounded: "How do you know?"

Damn I know more than that, this person could be my husband...

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps outside the door.The scientist looked terrified, "Maybe it's the military police... If the military police finds out that I am doing illegal experiments, I will be hanged..."

"Actually you're already dead." I whispered as he frantically controlled the life support module to hide from the wall.He ignored me.After hiding the soldier who was about to be reborn in another room, he went out to deal with the military police.At first I eavesdropped on their voices in the big greenhouse basin, but then I felt a little bored, so I opened the control panel of the scientist just now, input the command, and let the wall open, behind it was a small room, decorated like a hospital ward, There is only one small window.

However, there was more than an upright life support cabin in the room. The officer surnamed Long seemed to be waking up because of the change in the angle of the cabin.My eyes fell on another person.

A young man with pale to transparent complexion was sitting on a small bed at one end of the room.

He had post-infusion tape on his hands, was wearing a hospital gown, had shoulder-length short blond hair, and blue eyes staring at the open wall door.For a moment, I thought he saw me, as if he was meeting my eyes.And looking into his eyes, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak a word.

It was only later that I realized that maybe he couldn't see me.

He stood up unsteadily, bent his slender fingers, and tapped on the transparent barrier of the life support module.The sleeping soldier frowned under his nagging, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Who are you?" the young man asked, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

The soldier who didn't wake up thought for three seconds: "Commander of the Fearless Pioneer, Long Yin. Why am I here?"

"I don't know. The database says you're dead."

"database?"

"I am 'Messiah', a supercomputer in the debugging stage. I know everything about human beings." The young man paused, "but not you."

******

Messiah and Long Yin stayed in that room for about half a year.

For a long time, Long Yin was a shady existence, and even the military police came to him several times.

"But why can't they see me?"

Long Yin sat cross-legged next to Messiah, unceremoniously devouring his food.Five days after meeting the Messiah, he completely broke free from the skin of the strange demon period, but the scientists still kept him in the ward for care.After all, Messiah's side is listed as a high alert, and it is also the safest biological laboratory in the entire Langji company. Before confirming that he is completely harmless, scientists dare not let him leave easily.

"It has something to do with optics. The angle and intensity of light refraction can be changed by calculation to achieve the effect of stealth. This is the same scientific principle as stealth technology."

"But why?" Long Yin chewed the jerky with a puzzled look on his face, "There doesn't seem to be any invisibility equipment here."

"As long as there is a light, isn't it all right?" Messiah looked up, and the lights in the whole room seemed to be able to sense his line of sight, adjusted an angle, and aimed the light at him.

"Excellent." Long Yin gave Messiah a thumbs up while drinking milk, "So you are really a computer."

"Soon I'm going to start taking over the military equipment in the base."

"Really?"

"You can all be freed from fighting day and night and I can do all the work for you."

"It's really hard work...Are you really not eating?"

"I still have a lot of energy. I'd rather recharge than eat."

Messiah groped for the back of his neck, opened the hidden access, plugged in the data cable, and when he turned around to find the socket, Long Yin put down the instant noodles, "I'll help you, I'll help you."

Human's warm fingertips touched the Messiah's skin.

Although he has a human body, Messiah feels that Long Yin has a warmer temperature, which makes him feel the coolness on his body.

"Do you want to return to the human race?" Messiah said suddenly.

This sentence has no logical relationship with everything that happened before, and suddenly came out of his mouth. Messiah found a piece of paper to write down the running bug, and decided to do it to himself when Long Yin fell asleep. overhaul.

"Can you help me?"

According to Messiah's calculation, Long Yin answered the question with a shameless rhetorical question, but Messiah felt very happy.Happiness is an emotion. To put it simply, it is to assign a value from 0 to 10, and 10 is happiness.He felt that it could help Long Yin to let Messiah get 10. He guessed that it was because of Asimov's three laws of work.

Messiah stretched out his hand, "First, I want to prove that you are completely safe. I can help you with a full body check."

Long Yin put his hand in his palm without hesitation.Messiah has a guilty pleasure of enjoying this human warmth once again.He began to think about whether he subconsciously had such a need, so he suddenly asked about Long Yin.

Messiah quickly analyzed Long Yin with his five senses.

"You have Aspartia virus mixed in your body, every cell has it, but you are not a strange monster, you are still a human being."

"The doctor said that."

"It's a feat. I think analyzing your genetics will help the battle a lot."

"Then analyze me." Long Yin shrugged, "But don't forget your promise, I don't want to be locked in this small room day and night. The battle is still going on, but I can only do A deserter, this is too unlike a man."

"I can fake safety instructions for you, but there is a problem that needs your attention. You have to avoid contact with others, the secretions on your skin surface will cause burns to the human body."

Long Yin was surprised, and then touched Messiah's face: "Is this so?"

Messiah's eyes widened.

He found that he couldn't maintain the composure that the computer should have. He had been trying to control the tone of his speech within a small range.

"I'm a computer. My dna is also designed to resist damage from the body fluids of strange monsters. Your secretions have no effect on me."

"Then what should I do? Can I just hug you?" Long Yin said with a smile.

Messiah went online and offline in his mind, and found that the word hug had a pornographic meaning in a certain stage of civilization, so he couldn't help but get stuck for a while.

"There is a very simple solution." Messiah jumped off the bed and took out a pair of white gloves from the doctor's drawer, "You can try this."

******

Long Yin returned to his beloved legion.Everyone was amazed at his resurrection, but every time he blamed the scientists.Because Messiah forged his health certificate, he was very welcome back into battle.In this era when the population is less than five figures, a military officer with a brain is a precious asset.

Especially the officers equipped with the Messiah.

Now, Messiah controls all the military forces, and Long Yin is used to sitting in the cab to get his guidance.Long Yin has a bold and enterprising mind, and Messiah can calculate very well, making him even more powerful.The thin barrier between the two of them lasted for a longer time, so long that everyone felt that there was still hope.

This is especially true for Longyin.

Once, human beings were killed from the corners of this planet, squeezed to an isolated island, and he almost died in battle.He felt that he had to suffer from depression anyway.But now he feels motivated every day.He didn't know why, but every morning, the lights illuminating his bedroom under the control of Messiah made him feel like seeing sunlight.

"Come on, think of a good idea." Long Yin said to Messiah, "You know everything in the past, and you can calculate everything in the future. Tell me, how can we avoid the fate of extinction? We are always besieged It's not an option here."

Messiah nodded meekly: "It will take a while."

As he spoke, he rolled up his long golden hair.In order to support a large number of calculations, he needs a lot of energy.However, with a light touch of the connecting wire in his hand, Long Yin helped him find the socket at the head of the bed.

"I think you should go out and have a look." Long Yin said.

Messiah never stepped out of that room.He once heard Long Yin arguing with others outside the door: "He is not a slave! He is a human being! How can anyone be locked in a room all day long?"

"But he is too precious, and we must keep him absolutely safe. The body is just one of his vehicles, providing mobility and concealment in worst-case scenarios. Don't be fooled by his body, he exists In every corner of this base, even on your mecha. Why do you think he is locked in the house."

Long Yin was speechless.

"But, but, have you ever talked to him? He's been looking out the window..."

No one listened to him.

People think that the Messiah is so important that it doesn't matter what he thinks.

Later, Messiah told Long Yin: "I don't really want to go outside."

Long Yin's eyes were dim.

"I remember a lot of beautiful scenery and trachea. In my mind, there are hanging gardens, Tang Chang'an, Constantinople lit up all night, and the former Shanghai city. It's just that these beautiful things are destroyed now. I Even if you go out, you can't see any human city, nor any great country."

"There will be." Long Yin said, "Believe me, there will be."

"Then, I have the answer too." The Messiah told him, "The answer to keep civilization alive."

******

Messiah didn't tell Long Yin, he said that he would announce this plan to all human beings, Long Yin was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.

Future, peace, freedom.These were very precious words, and just thinking about them made him so excited that he couldn't help himself.Not to mention it would be brought by the Messiah.Long Yin believed in the Messiah.Doesn't matter if he's a supercomputer or something.He is biased.

"The closest habitable planet to the earth is in the β Sagittarius galaxy. The strange monsters have near-ground aviation technology, but their interstellar voyages are far behind us. We can transform the existing aviation force into an interstellar warship, and attract the strange monsters from east to west. All attention, the battleship group entered the high altitude to delay time."

The crowd whispered.

"Beta Sagittarius, how far away is that?"

The Messiah was silent for a while, and told everyone gently, "According to the current speed of sailing, 3000 years. You will never see land again in your lifetime, but your children, children's children... many The descendants of the next year may have the hope of surviving."

"This is ridiculous!"

"This is the most likely of all scenarios."

"Then who will stay to cover?" Long Yin looked directly at Messiah's face on the video from the crowd.

Messiah said quietly, "I."

******

Humans agreed to this plan.They found that being a nomad was easier to accept than the fear of extermination, death, aliens.Long Yin's objection was drowned in the crowd.He scolded them as cowards, "You pass the sins you have committed on the Messiah's head!"

"But he is an AI. There is nothing more cost-effective than the base entering fully automatic mode. And we will also copy a set of procedures to bring to the fleet."

"But that's not him anymore!"

No one paid attention to Long Yin.

"ai has no soul," they told him.

"I'm not leaving." Long Yin told Messiah.

"There is nothing to miss here anymore." Messiah lowered his head. "You should go with your people, they need you."

"No," Long Yin shook his head, "I can help you... repair the mecha or something."

"That's not good for building a great country." Messiah felt that his vocal cords were difficult to control, not only the tone and speed of speech, but also the tear glands, adrenal glands, and so on.He was in a state of being out of control, but he struggled to finish his sentence. "You promised me that you would show me. We AI say 1 is 1 and 0 is 0. You humans don't seem to be like this."

"But that's a voyage of 3000 years..." Long Yin cried.

"We're not going to die anyway. If I'm short of energy, I'm going to sleep."

Messiah curled up and took a sleeping position on the crib.

"Just will you come back and wake me up?"

Long Yin touched Messiah's chest, and a small card slot popped out from his chest. Long Yin bit his finger and dripped blood on the card slot.

"Remember me. You must wake up when I come back. Then, I will show you a great country."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"It's a word."
