Chapter 155 Polestar-2538 Injury Incident
Although Xingxing's reaction was dull, it also indirectly illustrates one thing.
That is, it never suspected from the beginning to the end that Shi Sheng was secretly manipulating the "Polestar companion robot injuring people incident".
It can even be said that such an idea never occurred to Xingxing.
Shi Sheng looked at the child's dazed expression, and the string in his heart that had been inexplicably tense since the incident suddenly relaxed.
"Nothing." It smiled and shook its head, and said to the child: "Don't worry, I will help you find out the truth behind this matter, and I will not let you be scolded or wronged for nothing."
It felt that the sharp words in the previous live broadcast room were too annoying.
It has memorized everyone's StarNet IP address one by one. Although it won't take any particularly serious revenge on them, it can still easily cause some minor mechanical and network failures.
But not now, otherwise it will definitely cause more malicious speculation against Xingxing.
When it comes to revenge, Shi Sheng has plenty of time to do it slowly.
Xingxing nodded slowly.
It put down what it was holding, walked out of the small warehouse, and pushed open the door of another room.
Qi Nan was sitting in a wheelchair thinking.
To be precise, I was in a daze.
Xingxing observed that his mechanical prosthetic eye had not moved for a long time.
The old man seemed to be stuck in some mental quagmire, his brows tightly furrowed, holding the light computer in his hands, and after adjusting the screen to the desktop, his fingers were unconsciously recording a lot of strange, chaotic and dense data on it.
Until the star came to him.
The sound of approaching footsteps startled Qi Nan. He came back to his senses from his daze, lowered his head, and glanced across the screen of his light computer, then turned to meet Xingxing's clean and pure eyes.
The movement of his hands suddenly stopped.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Xingxing vaguely felt that the grandfather in front of him seemed to be trapped in an invisible net. He could not find a breakthrough and was instead constantly being bound and tightened.
"Grandpa, what are you thinking about?" Xingxing stood on tiptoe and leaned on the edge of the coffee table to look at the contents on his screen.
A little familiar.
But before Xingxing could take a closer look, Qi Nan quickly cleared the contents.
Xingxing turned to look at him in confusion.
Qi Nan clenched his laptop tightly. After a moment, he reached out and held Xingxing on his knees, then told the child in detail what had happened during the live broadcast.
Although he had heard Shi Sheng say it once and saw the "grand occasion" in the live broadcast room with his own eyes, Xingxing still listened very seriously this time.
"Why?" After Qi Nan finished speaking, Xingxing suddenly asked him, "Grandpa, why do you think it's impossible? I was the one who awakened my life consciousness after you picked me up. Maybe the other little robot has the same experience as me?"
Thanks to the fact that this body is a small robot, Xingxing successfully got rid of the period when his speech was still a bit intermittent. Every word was pronounced very clearly by it, so this long sentence and the clear ideas in the words were heard clearly by Qin Nan.
Qi Nan suddenly fell silent.
Xingxing discovered that there was something wrong with his mood, and this was not just because of the question she had just asked, but something was wrong after the incident of the companion robot injuring people.
My own problem was just to let this emotion spread out completely and be felt clearly by myself.
Xingxing was a little confused.
Why?
Just like it asked just now, why was it so sure? And why did it remain silent when it asked itself?
Is there some unknown secret hidden in this?
When I thought of this possibility, even someone as calm as Xingxing couldn't help but want to hold her face and sigh.
It's really difficult to communicate smoothly with humans without super powers.
They always seem to have something to hide, always concealing and telling lies, and unless under certain specific circumstances, they are like dumb and will never speak out the so-called truth and secrets.
Xingxing feels that humans’ ability to keep secrets is even greater than his ability to cover up the fact that he is a zombie during the apocalypse.
In its previous life, it had to rely on the system mall to purchase body temperature and heartbeat. Humans, on the other hand, keep secrets in their hearts, and if nothing unexpected happens, they can really keep them hidden for a lifetime.
Didn’t Shisheng know nothing in his previous life until Qinan’s death, or even his own death?
etc--
Thinking of this, Xingxing was suddenly stunned.
It called out to Qiuqiu and asked it in its mind: "Did the plot tell us how Jixing died?"
Xingxing finally realized what he had been overlooking for so long.
The cause of death of Polestar.
It doesn't know how Polestar died. Logically, normally speaking, this is absolutely impossible.
Even if I forget, Qiuqiu will definitely tell me after watching the plot.
Unless, it’s not mentioned in the plot at all.
Sure enough, the next second, Qiuqiu's confused voice rang out: "How did he die? Let me see..."
Three seconds later, Qiuqiu answered it strangely: "Baby, I didn't find the death of Jixing. In the later part of the story, it has been the intelligent auxiliary system of the god-level mecha, helping the protagonist to complete many pretentious scenes, and also leading the protagonist to escape countless life-and-death crises that seemed to be inevitable."
"In the later stages of the story, the protagonist's vest is peeled off layer by layer like an onion, and he completely becomes the most dazzling pearl in the sea of stars in the universe. The halo on his head shines brighter than the planetary belt. He completely becomes the god of war that everyone admires, and finally reaches the top to become the youngest marshal in the history of the Federation."
"It only mentioned one sentence, saying that the god-level mecha Beidou had been silent for a hundred years, and it shined again because of Lin Ye. Other than that, there was no mention of the Pole Star at all."
After Qiuqiu finished her rambling summary of the rest of the plot, Xingxing also fell into silence along with Qinan.
There was no cause of death, but the Space-Time Administration accurately captured Pole Star's soul and made a deal with it.
Why?
Xingxing thought about it and decided to temporarily suppress this doubt. He decided to wait a while and ask the star in question directly. Then he reached out and grabbed the computer in Qi Nan's hand.
It clicked on the most popular news on the Star Network, which was, as expected, about a companion robot injuring someone. Xingxing's finger lightly touched the optical brain, entered the computer, and clicked to play a video.
The picture was very high-definition. Unlike the surveillance in modern society, the surveillance footage here was clearer than what the naked eye could see. Xingxing saw the number on the neck of this companion robot at a glance.
The video starts playing.
This companion robot, numbered Polestar-2538, was originally bringing a cup of hot water to its owner. However, when the owner reached out to take it, a stream of data suddenly appeared in its eyes, and then it raised its hand in an extremely strange and abnormal manner and splashed the cup of hot water on the owner's body and face.
The human in the video was probably frightened by the behavior of his own little robot. After screaming, he thought that the robot had some problem. After all, after watering, it just maintained that posture and stood there motionless.
Xingxing saw the owner of the little robot take out a light computer to take a picture of it, and then captured the footage from the home surveillance. He clicked into the Polestar official website, still muttering whether the little robot had broken down due to disrepair. After all, this type of companion robot was dozens or even hundreds of years old, and he just hadn't been willing to replace it because they had been using it for so long. He didn't expect this to happen suddenly.
I thought the video ended here.
As a result, just as this human was muttering and editing the message and preparing to send it, the little robot, who was originally standing beside the sofa holding the water cup and maintaining a stiff posture, suddenly made new movements.
It actually aimed the cup at the human's head and smashed it hard!
The human was editing and reporting the fault information with his head down and did not notice its sudden action. So, he was caught off guard and his head was easily smashed by the robot, with his head and face already covered with water.
Blood plasma mixed with water stains slid down the human's temples.
This video ends here.
"This video has not been synthesized through any technological means. It is real." Qi Nan's firm and complex voice sounded behind his ears.
Xingxing paused as he was about to poke the screen to play the video for the second time. He turned around to look at his grandfather who had just watched the video with him and asked him, "How did you know that?"
Although Xingxing is an intelligent life form with only a body, it cannot tell at a glance whether the video is real or fake.
Qi Nan sighed softly, and connected his mental power to the optical computer, controlling the video to play again and forward, finally freezing on a certain scene.
It was exactly one second before Polestar-2538 was about to splash water on humans.
"Look here." Qinan's hand passed over the stars and pointed at the eyes of the little robot on the light curtain.
Xingxing looked carefully and found that the flash of light that had originally flashed by was frozen in the little robot's eyes.
Qi Nan said calmly: "If it is a synthesized video, then few people would know that the data in these eyes is exactly the data instructions in the body of this robot that have been forcibly changed."
As a shareholder and even founder of Polestar, Qi Nan knew the data in these robots' bodies a hundred times better than his own, so even though it was only a flash of less than half a second just now, he was sure that he was not mistaken.
Xingxing nodded blankly, wanting to take apart the human grandfather's head to see if he had awakened the same brain power as Uncle Hu.
He is truly worthy of being the top talented maintenance worker repeatedly recognized by Polestar!
Xingxing blinked and turned to look at Qi Nan again, "Grandpa, who can change its data instructions?"
If I remember correctly, the three most core command instructions will be programmed into every intelligent mechanical product before it leaves the factory.
The rule that humans cannot be harmed is engraved deep in the robots' non-existent souls.
So, besides Qinan, who else can change their core instructions remotely?
Hearing this, Qi Nan slowly withdrew his hand from the light curtain. Xingxing could not see the emotions in his eyes through the mechanical eye, but she could sense a familiar confusion from him.
"I don't know either..." Qi Nan was indeed a little confused.
He lowered his head and met Xingxing's innocent and clear eyes. After thinking for a while, he said to the child again: "If they could bring the robot to me, maybe I would know the reason faster."
But before that, perhaps those people will choose to frame him and send him to the federal court for a public trial?
