Chapter 133 Grandpa, there is no pot in your house
Not the unfamiliar Qi Nan, not the master in control, but... a recognized relative.
"How did you get here?" Qi Nan was sitting in a wheelchair. In front of him was a little robot sitting quietly on the messy table, swinging its short legs. It was also his sudden... grandson?
Hearing the question, Xingxing shook his head honestly: "I don't know~"
"Then when did you develop self-awareness?" Qinan continued to ask.
The little robot in front of him continued to shake his head innocently: "I don't know~"
"...Which planet did you live on before? Do you remember why you were destroyed?" Qi Nan continued to ask without giving up.
However, the little robot's answer was as obedient and ignorant as ever: "Grandpa, I don't have any memory of the past, you know."
When the core became a robot, Xingxing could clearly sense the flow of energy and data in his body. He could even immediately retrieve the memory chip he had loaded. There were only a few memory fragments left in it, and the clearest was the time when he talked with Qinan after he woke up.
Qi Nan: “…”
Yes, he knew, but he still asked again and again.
Because he suspected that this little guy would "bury" all his previous related memories immediately after gaining self-awareness.
He never underestimates the awakening of an intelligent life.
On the contrary, the entire human race, when it was still in the ancient mother planet era, had already imagined countless times how to curb the development of intelligent life and infringement on human interests. It is for this reason that there are three compulsory obedience command codes that must be implanted in mechanical life forms.
The awakening of an intelligent life means that it can quickly read all human-related data knowledge. Knowledge is the carrier of human civilization and the golden key to truly unlock wisdom and thinking.
Human civilization relies on the inheritance, learning and recording from generation to generation, and on hundreds of millions of people using countless years of learning to understand and remember that knowledge.
Once intelligent life awakens, it may only take one second, or even just a brief moment of data loading, to fully accommodate and receive such a huge human civilization.
A golden key that humans have to spend decades to barely grasp; intelligent life can have a completely open treasure trove of free knowledge without the need for awakening.
The huge difference between these two makes humans become infinitely vigilant and defensive when they are just beginning to imagine intelligent life.
Worrying about nothing has never been a derogatory term.
Planning ahead is the cornerstone of mankind's continuous progress.
So even though the little robot in front of him looked exceptionally quiet and harmless, and had even risked its life to gain each other's trust, Qi Nan did not underestimate the other party at all, nor did he completely trust it.
After all, as humans acquire knowledge, they also learn to deceive and conceal without any instruction.
Will the awakening of intelligent life be an exception?
No, on the contrary, they will be better at lying because they don’t have a beating heart or vivid micro-expressions. They are just born liars.
But during the eye contact, Qi Nan once again chose to give in.
"Since you don't remember anything, you should stay with me from now on." After he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Xingxing would misunderstand him, so he added, "This planet is in a mess. If you get hurt or something happens to you, maybe only I can find a way to repair you and wake you up."
"Okay." The little robot agreed straightforwardly, even bending its beautiful eyes a little mechanically, and said obediently: "Thank you, Grandpa~"
Qi Nan: “…You’re welcome.”
He could always sense a strange, inhuman sense of division from this little robot.
This made him more determined to keep the little robot by his side.
It's very dangerous.
If the memory before awakening is deliberately concealed, it will be like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark to humans, and it will be a fatal crisis if one is not careful.
But if this little robot is really as ignorant and harmless as it appears... then Qi Nan will only increase its danger level tenfold! !
Adults holding weapons still have room for negotiation.
The cub holding the energy cannon can blow up the planet without hesitation, or even the entire universe on which humans depend for survival.
Qinan did not directly take the weapon from the cub, but he needed to add layers of airtight insurance to it.
And now, he himself has become a part of the insurance.
After making sure that the little robot had not deceived him and would not be able to escape from his sight in a short period of time, he reached out and picked up the little robot from the table.
But he didn't put it on the ground. Instead, he put it in his arms and then controlled the wheelchair to move out.
This is a very special perspective.
The star sat in the not-so-warm embrace of human beings, tilting its head slightly and looking at the shabby little house curiously.
Qi Nan ignored it and went straight to the "kitchen", which was an even smaller space. He controlled the robotic arm to dig out a tube of turbid nutrient solution from a pile of "garbage", then unscrewed it and poured it into his mouth.
Xingxing's outstanding sense of smell allowed it to immediately smell the strange and unpleasant odor emanating from the nutrient solution.
It naturally began to use the abilities of this body to scan the remaining liquid in the tube of nutrient solution, and soon concluded: "It has expired and gone bad."
After saying that, Xingxing looked up at the old man who remained calm and said seriously, "You will be sick soon."
"But if I don't drink it, I won't get sick, but die soon." Qi Nan lowered his head and looked at the little guy with silver eyes in his arms.
The star's thinking ability is now far superior to before. Even if its soul may not have reacted yet, its own data deduction has quickly given conclusions and answers.
Qinan is right.
Humans will starve to death.
It's not like Xingxing, who couldn't die even though he was starving.
But this is also tantamount to chronic suicide.
The stars were silent for a moment as they stared at each other, then they struggled to slide off the human's cold and hard knees.
The three-headed little robot stood on the ground, wearing loose old clothes. He looked at Qinan with disapproval, then turned around silently and went back into the pile of "garbage" in the kitchen.
Qi Nan was a little curious.
No, I should say I'm quite curious.
He was extremely interested in every move of the little robot, so after drinking the expired and spoiled nutrient solution, he did not return to the house to continue his day-to-day research. Instead, he controlled the wheelchair and followed behind Xingxing, quietly watching what Xingxing was doing.
Then, he saw with his own eyes that the stars went from standing in front of the garbage dump to being slowly and completely buried by the newly dug garbage dump.
In the end, he could only hear the rustling sound of people rummaging through the garbage dump, but he couldn't see even a piece of the little robot's clothes.
It’s so small. I feel like Tuanba Tuanba can stuff this little robot into a tiny container as a decoration.
"What are you looking for?" Qi Nan finally couldn't help but speak after not seeing anyone for ten minutes.
Amid the clanging sounds, the little robot's tender childish voice came out muffled: "Looking for a pot."
pot? ?
What is that?
Qi Nan was at a loss for a moment. Even though he was old, his genius brain started working rapidly, but he still couldn't retrieve the word "pot" from his memory.
Until the little robot stretched out its little hands with great difficulty and tried hard to dig out the garbage pile, and crawled out from the top of the garbage pile that was like a hill. Then, like a ragged but victorious little beggar, it walked down the garbage pile one step deep and one step shallow, pulling a series of things.
Qi Nan: “…”
I never thought that the materials I collected with so much difficulty were so...an eyesore before, but now I feel like I should clean them up properly?
Otherwise, the little robot might step on something and then trip and break itself when it takes a random step.
"This is..." Qi Nan tried to use his mechanical eyeballs to see clearly what Xingxing was dragging in his hand. After a while, he said uncertainly: "This is the discarded parts I picked up three Xingyao days ago. I originally planned to melt it down to make a weapon shell... Is this the pot you are talking about?"
The last sentence is full of confusion.
Xingxing finally stood in front of Qi Nan, holding a bunch of jingling things. Hearing this, she shook her head and confirmed his understanding: "This is the shoulder part of the N-75 empathetic mecha."
"That……"
Before Qi Nan could finish his words, he saw the little robot sighing in a particularly vivid way, as if he was not very satisfied and said sullenly: "Grandpa, there is no pot in your house."
Qi Nan: “…I’m sorry?”
For some reason, he felt that the little robot seemed very disappointed about not having a pot.
But when he thought about all the mechas and mechanical products that had been popular in the entire galaxy, he had never heard of the word "pot".
"It doesn't matter." Xingxing shook her head generously, and used the robot's short and powerful little arms to pick up a large bunch of things in her hand. The data light in her eyes flashed brightly, and she said seriously: "Another year of mending!"
Ever since picking up Uncle Hu, Xingxing has developed a certain curiosity about the way humans make food.
But the three-year-old zombie would not be allowed by his uncle to touch the pots and pans.
Every time, Xingxing could only stand at the door and watch Uncle Hu pour various ingredients into the pot neatly and orderly.
So many strange things are poured into the pot, but in the end they can create a portion of human "food".
And humans think it tastes very good.
Xingxing has just tried to analyze the differences between non-human life forms and humans, and now he wants to try his hand at human food creation.
Anyway, just turn on the fire, pour in a bunch of messy stuff, stir it around with a spatula, and then you can eat it, right?
The star is unsure, but confident.
It doesn’t matter. The grandfather has already drunk the spoiled and expired nutrient solution. So before the disease comes, he should not die if he lets his body try other foods, right?
We will get sick anyway, whether it is a big illness or a small illness, it is all an illness, as long as you don't die.
It took the star a second to convince itself of its non-existent conscience, then it went into the garbage dump and dug out this pile of garbage that could replace pots and pans.
It can still be used after washing.
Just like this grandpa, most of his body was replaced by machines but he didn’t die.
So eating a little bit of junk food...
Qiuqiu watched for a long time, and couldn't help it. He leaned in and whispered to Xingxing: "Boy, are you sure you want to do this?"
Xingxing nodded with bright eyes.
Qiuqiu: "... Well, well... if he dies, our mission will fail. Otherwise... how about we take a look at the original plot of this world first? It's not too late to do it after you finish reading it."
The old man is so old, it’s not easy for him to survive for so long after being exiled. Don’t let his own children knock him down with a bowl of rice when they come.
That is the real sin.
As for Xingxing’s cooking skills, which she has never tried before and only has memories but no experience... Qiuqiu feels scared just thinking about it.
The star hesitated for a moment.
Then he put down the miniature flame bomb that he was about to use to light the fire, poured out the unknown rotten meat that had been put into the pot, and nodded obediently: "Okay~"
Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Nan, who was standing next to him and knew nothing about the situation but always felt that he was in imminent danger, also breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly controlled the robotic arm to pick up the pile of rotten meat and garbage on the ground, deciding to throw them into the incineration area later.
By the way, he also hid the fire bomb that the star had pulled out from somewhere.
