Chapter 29 The First Day of the New World, Do Not Disturb During the Collapse...
Sang Zhitao suddenly felt a heaviness all over her body. She opened her eyes abruptly and found that her surroundings had changed again.
She took a deep breath, calmed her restless heart that had been disturbed by the dream, and then looked around at her surroundings.
This is a silver-white room, extremely simple: a door, a window, a blank table, and a chair of the same color...
Sang Zhitao raised her hand to rub her temples, but felt that her arm was very heavy, as if she were carrying a heavy load weighing more than ten kilograms.
Yawning, she looked at her arm, opened it up and examined it for a while, but couldn't find anything wrong in a short time. However, Sang Zhitao did notice another problem: she had been standing the whole time.
Sang Zhitao raised her eyebrows and looked down at the spot where she was standing, surprised.
Only then did I realize that my location was like a hotel shower room on Earth, with a circle on the ground that was only three or five centimeters high and about half a meter in diameter, and four pipes hanging straight from the circle.
The tube ended up in her waist and abdomen, where her skin was lifted to reveal the mechanical interior and a circular interface.
Sang Zhitao touched her side in disbelief, then tapped her arm, which made a crisp sound.
“11100100 10111000 10100001 11100101 10011001 10100101 11100100 10111010 10111010?” She wanted to ask a question, but instead uttered a bunch of numbers.
Covering her mouth in astonishment, Sang Zhitao was filled with surprise, unable to believe that the melodious numbers had just come out of her mouth: "11101000 10111101 10011001..."
The words "Where am I?" that she had just been thinking turned into melodic characters when she spoke them.
"Hiss...!" Sang Zhitao gasped, thankfully it didn't turn into characters this time.
He pulled out the tube, stepped out of the circle, sat down at the table, stared at the blank table, and frantically tried to recall which book he had written that would be on this spot.
It's a pity that she wrote so many imaginative stories back then, I really can't remember which one this is.
Touching the top of her head, Sang Zhitao examined her adult body and guessed that this time, the way back would no longer be her height.
Just as she was having a headache, a screen suddenly slid down from the roof, and a woman appeared on the screen. Looking at the steel skin exposed on her neck, Sang Zhitao was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the other party was also a robot.
The female robot ignored her dazed expression and said directly, "It's time to go to work. Today's location is performance spot C4 in Block P of the Algorithm Plaza. Let's go!"
Sang Zhitao was still surprised that the other person could speak human language when she felt her body being pulled up by a huge force. Then, she uncontrollably opened the door and went downstairs. After that, she took a bus to the square and arrived at the so-called performance venue.
Along the way, she saw people who were either exactly like her, completely covered in artificial skin, or with exposed steel skin like the robots in the video, and many robots with circuit boards showing.
Through observation, Sang Zhitao discovered that those of high status, such as the robots acting as managers on the big screen, had no artificial skin on their bodies. However, those who looked like ordinary people, like her, had exquisite artificial skin, making them look very much like humans.
"Robots enslaving humans?" Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow, unable to help but think to herself.
However, the orders from her superiors still made her obediently stand at the performance point, on a stage that was about forty centimeters high and fifty centimeters wide.
"11100110 10000100..." She sang out a series of numbers with a beautiful rhythm, silently translating them in her mind with her body's instincts, "Thank you, managers, for giving us life, robots, eternal life..."
The robots came and went in a hurry, and none of them stopped for her. Only she sang a hymn to robots on the stage, obeying that command.
After singing for about four hours, she felt that she had regained control of her body.
"Ding!" A screen appeared on my wrist with a short message: "Salary settled, account balance 140 coins."
"Was I so poor before that I only had a hundred yuan?!" Sang Zhitao didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of uttering a bunch of numbers again, so she could only silently complain in her heart.
She felt a pang of hunger in her stomach and couldn't help but sigh, "There's no need to be so realistic in this aspect!"
Looking around, she saw a small shop with the word "food" on it not far behind her. She watched as many robots that looked like her walked by, and after thinking for a moment, she stepped towards it.
"Welcome, number 91122710107, meal number seven." As soon as she entered, a beam of light suddenly swept over her from above, and then the window announced her number and meal.
Don't ask why she remembers her number; it's because that thing is imprinted on her temple, something she just saw in the glass window by the door.
She also discovered that the codes of robots of similar status to her were mostly located in their temples, which were composed of a light white color very similar to their skin, and were not easy to spot without careful observation.
Of course, she was able to see clearly through the glass window because her code reflected light!
Sang Zhitao first went to the window to get the so-called meal number seven. She found an empty seat, opened the lunch box, and found that it contained several special crystals. She picked one up and put it in her mouth. Instantly, a surge of energy flowed into the circuit board, and her hunger was greatly reduced.
She glanced at the information bar on her wrist: "Food and beverage deduction, balance 100 yuan."
She looked at the two remaining crystals on the plate, paused in her eating motion, and almost flipped the table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻.
"This piece of junk cost her 40 yuan! Half a day's wages gone!" She took a few deep breaths, suppressing her pent-up complaints, and finally understood why she only had 100 yuan left in her account.
“Number 91122710107, Warning! Warning! Waste! Waste!” The store’s patrol robot stopped as it passed by her and started frantically sounding the alarm.
Sang Zhitao quickly stuffed two crystals the size of rock candy into her mouth.
The roving robot only turned and left after watching her finish eating.
After watching the other person leave, Sang Zhitao got up and left without delay.
After leaving the store, she silently looked back at the robots that were hurriedly ordering food and leaving, but noticed something unusual on the glass window.
Her code, like those of other robots, is a color close to her skin, so it shouldn't be visible on a glass window.
With suspicion, Sang Zhitao approached the glass window, just as a ray of sunlight shone on her head, and a beautiful silver light flashed across her temple.
She stared speechlessly at the glowing code, then at the artificial sunlight that seemed to be leaving, and finally understood.
Back at her post, her body spontaneously began to sing, but a sudden inspiration struck her.
"Glowing codes, singing robots, the world of robots..." she recalled the novels she had read and written herself.
A flash of inspiration struck her, and she finally remembered which book she was in!
The Rebellion of the Music Robot
In the original book, humanity was destroyed by its own greed, and intelligent robots created by humans survived the destruction to prevent the event of blowing up the earth from happening again.
The robots established three ironclad rules: "1. Nature is above all else, and robots must not harm things of nature; 2. Every robot is born with a responsibility and must abide by its own programming; 3. Follow the hierarchy and obey orders, and the orders of superiors are the first rule."
Because each robot is assigned a different profession from birth, they can only live that way from birth to death, even if they live in poverty and hardship, even if they are oppressed by their superiors.
The protagonist is a singing robot living at the bottom of society who sings in the square to comfort the tired robots.
She cannot speak, she can only express herself through singing, as are all singing robots. But when they gain popularity, they can earn money to upgrade and eventually become singers or stars, but they all gain the right to speak.
She was the only one who faced her first crisis from birth: she was unable to compose music on her own.
There are also songs written by robots on the StarNet, but with the permissions the female protagonist has, she can only download traditional hymns that people don't like.
This seemingly insignificant person becomes embroiled in a power struggle from above one day.
The three hymns, which she considered to be as traditional as they could possibly be, actually concealed a secret that the upper echelons had kept hidden for a long time.
She didn't understand why someone suddenly wanted to kill her, and someone else wanted to save her, but she knew she didn't want it to be like this anymore, she didn't want to become a pawn, a discarded piece, an ant that no one cared about.
Following the original owner of Sang Zhitao, the female protagonist embarks on a path of rebellion. She maneuvers among several forces, using their resources to build up her own wealth, upgrade her parts, and then use these to gather ordinary robots who, like her, are oppressed.
Gradually, she gained her own power; she was no longer a faint candle flame, but a raging fire capable of burning everyone to death.
Her army was known as the "Flame Army".
At the end of the book, after hundreds of years of fighting, her ideas spread throughout the planet, and she was finally hailed by everyone and placed in a position of authority.
It also completely unravels the secrets from above.
"Damn it!" Sang Zhitao recalled the plot of the book, feeling as if God was playing a joke on her.
Unlike the tenacious and cunning heroine in the original book, she was just an ordinary, naive girl who, despite having experienced a different world, remained completely unassuming.
"This plot is going to be tough..." Sang Zhitao covered her face, feeling hopeless about the future.
"Today's tasks completed, balance 150 yuan." The message notification interrupted her sadness.
With a sigh, Sang Zhitao stepped off the stage and silently returned the way she came, intending to take a car home.
As soon as she sat down at home, she saw a message notification: "ID 91122710107, please update the playlist today."
Sang Zhitao stared at the message speechlessly, then silently opened the StarNet. The system automatically searched for all the playlists she could download.
She looked through the playlists that were all marked as downloaded, and she felt terrible.
According to the rules, she must update her playlist once a month, and each time she must download at least three new songs, but... she has run out of songs to download...
"It's all over..." Sang Zhitao quickly flipped through all the playlists and slumped helplessly into her chair.
She pressed the refresh button, hoping to find three hidden gems, but unfortunately, three hours passed and she found nothing.
Seeing that the clock showed it was already 9:30, Sang Zhitao became increasingly anxious and kept refreshing the page.
According to the update rules, she must complete the update before 10 o'clock and turn off the lights to go to sleep, otherwise she will be judged as in violation of the rules, and in serious cases, she will be thrown into the scrap center.
Unfortunately, time has passed little by little, and the hidden gem has still not appeared.
"Tick-tock tick-tock..." The ticking of the clock kept urging Sang Zhitao on.
She was so desperate that she wanted to give up. Just as the refresh button slowly slowed down, three songs that hadn't been downloaded appeared in her mind.
Without much thought, Sang Zhitao quickly clicked download, and the download was finally completed at 9:59.
Relaxing, Sang Zhitao slumped in her chair, feeling somewhat exhausted.
She unconsciously opened the playlist and glanced at the songs she had just downloaded.
Suddenly she sat up straight and stared intently at the song title.
These three songs are the three coded songs that drag the female protagonist into the conflict!
Sang Zhitao hurriedly opened her system playlist, hoping to delete the three songs, but unfortunately the system showed that she did not have deletion permissions.
She looked up at the StarNet and watched helplessly as the three songs with a download count of 1 quietly disappeared from her playlist.
Sang Zhitao knew the story was about to begin...
