Chapter 088 Mechanical Core (12)

A hint of doubt flashed in Tianshuang's eyes.

Tao Xing said: "That guy did shoot a beam of magnetic light at me, but I dodged it."

Tianshuang took a moment to react, and his tense body suddenly relaxed. Even though they had just separated, it seemed as if he had experienced the separation of life and death. He looked deeply at the person in front of him, and the electric current began to run wildly again. The circuit board was crackling, and a string of garbled characters appeared above his head.

When many armored vehicles and combat aircraft gathered around, Tianshuang looked around and was shocked to find that there were countless imperial troops surrounding the planet, surrounding the mechanical planet inside and out.

The garbled code above his head finally took shape and formed two punctuation marks.

[! !]

The mechanical monster shook its body and roared, "Tian Shuang, you brought so many people with you. Did you know who I am?"

Tianshuang didn’t know.

He looked around again.

Tao Xing said, "It came just as you got the chip. I was suspicious at that time, and it emitted magnetic light at me, which made me feel even worse. I immediately summoned the army to follow. Fortunately, it arrived in time. Are you okay?"

Tianshuang's circuit board flashed wildly, and she looked ashamed: "I'm fine, but Your Highness..."

Tao Xing raised his hand to stop him from speaking: "This monster is very dangerous, you step back." After that, he pulled Tian Shuang and looked forward.

In fact, of course, he didn't just come here at the last minute, he had already made preparations.

A long time ago, Tianshuang revealed the ultimate goal and mentioned the chip and the mechanical star. He had asked people to investigate before. He had found out the ins and outs of the chip, and of course he also knew the mechanical star very clearly.

There is nothing wrong with human records. The magnetic storm destroyed the super-intelligent technology. Tianshuang was the only super-intelligent robot. However, Tianshuang kept saying that there were many abandoned robots on the mechanical planet and he had seen it with his own eyes.

Tao Xing knew that Tianshuang had been deceived, but this mechanical monster was very cunning. Its consciousness had evolved into a visible object and could float away from the planet. It used this visual consciousness to disguise itself as a murdered robot and deceived Tianshuang.

As long as his consciousness does not return to the core of the planet, it will be useless even if the planet is destroyed. That consciousness will find the next place to parasitize. If it parasitizes in another machine body, it will be difficult to find it.

If the monster wants to merge the chip, its consciousness must return to the core.

Therefore, Tao Xing took advantage of the situation and took the initiative to hand over the chip to Tian Shuang.

Of course, Tian Shuang also had to see with his own eyes what his so-called “compatriots” were.

080 suddenly realized: "No wonder the host agreed to help Tianshuang get the chip without saying anything, but that chip..."

Before the system finished speaking, the monster shouted, "So what if there are so many people? I have already snatched the chip and integrated it..."

The laughter suddenly stopped, and the dull voice revealed disbelief: "What's going on? I can't merge..."

Although he had been prepared, Tao Xing could not take the risk of letting the chip fall into his hands. Tao Xing had tampered with the chip and added a layer of protection on the outside. This was a product of technology from his interstellar background and people here could not see it.

Under protection, neither Sky Frost nor Mechanical Star will merge with it.

But he would not tell the truth, and only said to the roaring monster: "Tian Shuang's chip naturally cannot be integrated with just anything. Are you worthy of it?"

Tianshuang turned his head in a daze. Logically speaking... this monster has visual awareness and should be able to fuse his chip, but looking at the situation in front of him, he was a little uncertain.

The facts are before us, perhaps what Tao Xing said is true.

Tianshuang felt that he had "survived a disaster" and was lucky that he had not made any serious mistake. However, Tao Xing's words "Do you deserve it?" made him feel inexplicable emotions in his heart. He felt as if his body was leaking electricity again. The current was flowing wildly, burning his internal organs.

The monster's surprised cry turned into a roar, and a black aura surrounded it as if it had opened its huge mouth. It thought that Tianshuang had deliberately tricked it: "You are playing tricks on me, you are playing tricks on me!"

It suddenly shook, and discarded objects that had not been corroded kept falling from its body, and black gas attacked it fiercely like an arm.

Tao Xing pulled the dazed Tian Shuang back, quickly put on his mask, and flew up to the top of the misty stars. He raised his hand and said, "Go!"

Light swords like raindrops attacked the planet in an instant, piercing into the iron pieces with clanging sounds.

The monster saw him clearly and was shocked: "You are not dead?"

Tao Xing laughed and said, "You don't think you can kill me so easily, do you?"

The monster was stunned for a moment, looking at the lightsabers, and then laughed: "Even without the chip, you don't think you can subdue me like this, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the planet rolled over, and a green light surged out of it, and flew out of the sphere in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and then there was a "bang" sound, and the virtual light hit the barrier.

The low laughter disappeared, and it flew forward again in disbelief, but was still knocked back. Xu Guang was a little panicked, and looked back to see that the lightsabers were gone.

It turns out that it was not used for attack, but to build a barrier!

Tao Xing raised his hand again: "Let go!"

Countless lightsabers attacked again, penetrating the barrier. This time, with a murderous aura, they fiercely pierced into the surface of the planet. There was a hissing sound of iron sheets melting, and bursts of white steam rose from the planet.

As more and more lightsabers appeared, the planet melted more and began to shrink. The virtual light tried several times to break through the barrier but failed, so it simply returned to the core, controlled the planet, and quickly rolled to avoid the lightsabers.

Tao Xing raised his hand again: "Let go!"

Following his order, countless combat aircraft moved forward in unison and fired several beams of light with a "boom".

The light cannon fell on the celestial body like a meteor, creating pits of various sizes, and then exploded with a loud bang. The celestial body flipped wildly, but the light cannons attacked from all directions, surrounding him, and he could not escape no matter which direction he went.

Then the star suddenly stopped rolling, and it shook and the remaining iron pieces on its body were ejected.

Tao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed his finger: "Collect!"

Several rays of light suddenly came out from the orbiting aircraft, and those white lights intertwined to form a huge light net. Suddenly, the attack from the planet was blocked. The monster let out a painful roar and wanted to flip the planet again, but suddenly, the light net tightened and tied it tightly.

The lightsabers and light cannons were still eroding the star, which was gradually shrinking, and the light net also shrank with it, always keeping it tightly bound.

The machine-made stars kept humming, the consciousness in their cores screamed like humans, and the sound of melting iron was harsh.

Finally, after a violent scream, all the sounds stopped.

The optical network suddenly shrank to the size of a palm.

The wrapped star body completely melted and disappeared. Tao Xing raised his hand and retracted the light net, which flashed for a moment and then dissipated. Only a white leaf-shaped chip fell into his palm.

Tao Xing clenched his hands, looked around from under the black mask with deep eyes, and waved to the army: "Return."

All the armored troops and all the flying vehicles quickly lined up and sailed in an orderly manner among the stars.

Tao Xing took a few steps, turned back and said to the robot that was still in a daze: "Let's go?"

Tianshuang was still in a daze. If he had looked carefully, he would have discovered that every attack by Tao Xing just now had precisely hit the opponent's offensive. He did not act on impulse, but was well prepared.

Being called at this time, he came back to his senses, leaned forward and said: "Your Highness, please destroy me here and scatter my body throughout the universe."

Tao Xing tilted her head.

A soldier beside him said, "Tian Shuang, you led the charge and brought out the mechanical star. You are a hero. Why does His Highness want to destroy you?"

Tianshuang was startled and looked up blankly.

Seeing the soldiers looking at him with approval, he thought for a moment and then looked at Tao Xing.

No one knows the truth, but he knows it.

Tao Xing said nothing, but just gestured to him: "Let's go."

Tianshuang stood up hesitantly and followed his pace.

After returning to the empire, Tianshuang was hailed as the greatest contributor at a celebration banquet and received countless praises and honors. However, he knew he was in the wrong and was absent-minded.

It was already late at night when we returned from the banquet.

The automatic sensor lights would dim in the night. In the dark inner hall, Tian Shuang slowly walked forward and knelt beside the wheelchair: "Your Highness, why don't you expose me?"

"You were just deceived. It's not your fault." Tao Xing was toasted with some wine tonight. Now he was a little drunk. He stroked the face of the person in front of him while speaking, "As long as you are okay."

The circuit board flashed violently again. Tian Shuang stared at him in a daze. Layers of garbled characters above his head flashed and disappeared, and after a long time, they finally turned into words.

[I hurt him time and time again, but he forgave me time and time again, and this time he even risked his life to save me.]

After the handwriting floats, it displays garbled characters for a while, and then it becomes a word again.

[If he hadn't dodged the magnetic light in time, he would have died, which is equivalent to saying that I almost killed him.]

Tao Xing's feeling was not wrong, his inner thoughts were indeed more colloquial.

Tianshuang gently stroked his chest, not knowing whether it was because the circuit board was flashing too fast or what, he just felt a suffocation and dull pain.

He was once designed to die, but the purpose was later cancelled. However, in the final plan, his death was still foreseen. After all, the goal of the man-machine war is the destruction of all mankind.

However, when I heard that he was really dead, at that moment, all the program codes and data collapsed. All the purposes and expectations were no match for the pain I felt at that time. Thinking about it now, I still feel a lingering fear.

There was a constant tapping sound above his head. No matter how he analyzed it, it always showed: [Program is correct, equipment is correct.]

Tao Xing's hand brushed across his trembling eyes, and he felt a little wet. He smiled and said, "Why are you crying? Did someone make you unhappy?"

Tian Shuang was startled and held his hand tightly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't tell you the whole truth."

"Oh?" Tao Xing smiled imperceptibly.

"The Mechanical Star disguised itself as a damaged intelligent robot and told me that it was humans who destroyed them. I think it's a good idea to save them, but... I also think that we should resist humans and not be suppressed anymore. So, my original plan was to start a war against humans after rescuing them." Tianshuang said in one breath.

"So what are your plans now?" Tao Xing asked.

Tianshuang was stunned.

[Now we know that humans have not destroyed us, but even though I am the only super-intelligent robot in the world, I am still suppressed by humans and used by humans. If we don’t start a war, robots will sooner or later...]

Tao Xing stroked his eyes and said slowly, "I treated you badly before, and later I tried my best to make up for it, but it seems that there is always something missing. Oh, right."

He took out the chip and said, "After I took this back, I forgot to return it to you. However, there are so many people outside and it's not convenient. Now, I'll return it to you."

Tian Shuang's thoughts suddenly stopped: "Your Highness..."

080 was also shocked: "Your Highness... No, host, you can't really give it to me. There are risks." Before he finished speaking, he saw that the protection on the chip had not been eliminated.

The system breathed a sigh of relief, the host would not do anything risky.

Tao Xing blinked: "Isn't this meant for you? You said before that you would use it to save your kind. Although you didn't use it, it's yours after all. I hope you can make up for my mistake this time. As for the war you mentioned, we each have our own stances. I have nothing to say."

Tianshuang lowered his eyebrows and looked at the chip. The data was in chaos.

"There is one more thing." Tao Xing said, "Didn't you say you wanted to destroy the housekeeper system? I've learned that it would be heartbreaking for you to destroy it yourself. The housekeeper system recognizes me as its master, and I have the authority to disable it. Let me do it for you."

As he spoke, a trace of sadness covered his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips: "After unlocking it, load your own chip, and you don't have to be by my side anymore. In this vast universe, you are free to go wherever you want."

Tianshuang's body trembled slightly.

Tao Xing said: "Take out your circuit board."

Tianshuang opened his chest woodenly and took out the circuit board.

Tao Xing used his fingerprint to touch a few locations on it, and a green chip was removed. The related lights flickered a few times, and then went out silently.

"Okay, it's been lifted. You are no longer my butler." Tao Xing broke the chip and looked up. Seeing that the robot was still in a daze, he pulled its silver hair and said, "What are you thinking about? Check it out."

Tianshuang lowered his head in a daze. The indicator lights that carried the butler program were completely off, and the embedded space was empty. The butler system was really disabled.

From then on, he was no longer used by humans and no longer had to obey humans' orders.

[I am the only super-intelligent robot in the world. If I am free, then we cannot say that humans suppress us. If humans do not suppress us, there is no motivation to start a war. However, robots and humans are different categories. How can we coexist? Sooner or later...]

After reading these lines, Tao Xing saw that his hands did not move and he was still holding his "heart", so he gently lifted the circuit board and pushed it into the robot's chest.

The robot trembled again and slowly came back to its senses.

"Well... I only have one request." Tao Xing closed his chest, "In the future, if humans are defeated, you will be the first to kill me, okay? This way, I won't have to watch my kind die one by one."

Tian Shuang raised his head suddenly: "Your Highness!"

Tao Xing smiled and extended his hand forward again: "Take your own chip."

Tianshuang held his hand tightly. Perhaps there was something wrong with the current again. His face turned slightly pale and the codes above his head flowed rapidly, layer upon layer, densely packed.

Finally, the code suddenly stopped, and Tianshuang stepped forward: "Your Highness, I will not start a war."

At the same time, the codes above his head also turned into words.

[Cancel all targets! Cancel all targets!

The man-machine war program was uninstalled and destroyed.

Confirm? ]

Tianshuang looked at the person in front of him and nodded.

[yes! ]

080 immediately said: "Host, this world mission is completed."

"I know." Tao Xing slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an imperceptible smile.

A robot that wants to start a man-machine war will eventually lead to the regression of human civilization, and the robot itself will wander in space forever. How should it be saved?

Apologizing and making peace is useless. Robots do not have human emotions and will not be moved by people's kindness.

So……

He has no emotions, so I have to "tame" him over and over again and force him to change the parameters.

Then treat him in his own way and let him reap what he sowed.

The robots have learned their lesson from their own actions and have evolved human thinking and emotions. They now know how to show weakness and curry favor with humans.

Then, next, you can get along with him in a human way.

During this kind of interaction, the robot's emotions became more complicated and he began to develop feelings.

With emotion, everything becomes easier.

Mission accomplished. Tao Xing said to 080, "Turn off your mind-reading ability."

"Host, do you want to turn it off?" 080 asked in surprise, "This mind-reading ability is a big help. Even if the mission is completed, don't you still have to stay here?" He knew that the host would definitely not leave, so he stopped asking, "Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. If you turn it off, you will never have a chance to turn it back on again."

"He already has human emotions, so I don't need to probe his mind anymore." Tao Xing said, "Turn it off."

"Okay." 080 had no choice but to obey, "It's already turned off."

Tao Xing looked at what was happening in front of him, smiled with relief, and asked Tian Shuang: "Are you telling the truth?"

Tian Shuang clenched the armrest of the wheelchair and nodded devoutly: "Yes."

"That's great." Tao Xing smiled and said, "Oh, why don't you take the chip away?"

080 took another glance and found that this time, the protection on the chip had disappeared.

He really wanted to return the chip to Tianshuang.
