Chapter 132 Hello Qinan, I am Xingxing
Xingxing, who had become a little robot, wrote down Qinan's name, then bent down and picked up the glasses that had fallen to the ground with Qinan with his little hands.
The lenses have more cracks and are no longer wearable.
Xingxing stood on tiptoe and placed her glasses on the table which was piled with a mess of discarded parts and materials. Then she looked at Qi Nan, who was lying on the ground but still trying to turn his head and stare at her.
The eyes of the old man and the young met in mid-air, and Qi Nan spoke in a hoarse voice: "Little robot, can you help me up? Thank you."
Qiuqiu muttered secretly: "This human is quite polite~"
Xingxing was also very polite. A smile slowly appeared on her humanoid mechanical face. When she spoke, she still spoke in an emotionless, childish system voice: "Hello, Qi Nan, my name is Xingxing."
I'm not called "little robot".
Qi Nan was stunned for a moment, but his silver eyeballs could not express any emotion; they just rolled wildly as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
The stars stood before him.
It was in a position where he could reach it with his hand, but it was impossible for him to grab it immediately.
Xingxing just lowered her head and looked at him quietly.
Two pairs of identical, emotionless eyes stared at each other, and no one could read the other's emotions.
"Xingxing, can you help me up?" Qi Nan was the first to speak in silence, changing the address and repeating the previous words, "Thank you."
"Okay." Xingxing moved on tiptoe.
Qinan quickly reached out to grab the approaching mechanical calf.
It was quickly avoided again.
"Qinan."
The star that avoided his grasp called his name again, then lowered her head to look into his mechanical eyes and said calmly, "You want to study me."
It is not a question, but a statement.
Qi Nan stared at Xingxing's emotionless eyes, and after a moment, he looked at his skinny right hand that was stretched out to grab nothing, and then laughed strangely and hoarsely.
"certainly."
He admitted bluntly, "You are very special. As a first-generation robot of the Polestar model, even if you were equipped with the most advanced intelligent chip of the time, you should not be intelligent enough to be truly human-like, unless your data has undergone a mutation. I don't think any machine maker data research expert would ignore your peculiarity."
Qiuqiu fell silent.
Because it knew that what Qinan said was completely right.
And this may become the biggest crisis that stars will face in this interstellar age.
It has actually been silent since just now.
Because it has read the "original plot" of this world.
Now hearing Qi Nan's words again, its outstanding emotional system and incredible data analysis and deduction computing capabilities made it realize in an instant the huge differences and crises between this world and the previous worlds.
But the stars don't know.
Xingxing, who only had the memory of the end of the world left, stood quietly in front of Qi Nan, looked at his embarrassed appearance as he struggled to raise his head, and tilted his head slightly.
It raised its hand and touched its chest where it stored energy.
It was just like when he was a zombie, there was no sound of a beating heart.
It looked at the human in front of it, then tilted its head to look at the ball beside it, and finally lowered its head and slowly opened its chest in front of a human and a ball of light.
"...Kid, what are you doing?!" Qiuqiu's voice trembled.
"What are you going to do?" Qinan's mechanical eyeballs rolled wildly.
"I want to take a look." Xingxing answered them politely.
The stars have actually been curious for a long time.
Ever since he realized that he was different from humans yet very similar to humans, Xingxing became curious about one thing.
Why is it different?
What exactly is the difference?
We have the same body, the same ability to think and communicate, and we are all living beings, so why are humans the most special?
It once carefully observed the appearance of dead humans and the process of humans transforming into zombies, but it did not get the answers it wanted.
It also thought about completely dissecting humans and zombies to see if there were any other differences inside, but it never did so because it and many other stars had been tied up by humans on cold platforms and had done this countless times.
Xingxing hates humans like that, and doesn't want to become a hateful person like herself.
It was a little afraid that it would become similar to those humans, and then... be seen by the stars hanging high in the sky.
The stars can be sad and afraid too.
But it's different now.
Now this is a body that belongs entirely to me, a non-human life form that is the same as myself yet different from me.
The most important thing is that the humans in front of him want to study themselves, just like those researchers in the laboratory before, they will not let themselves die easily.
In the eyes of researchers, the unique experimental subjects will never become consumables and may even be more precious than their lives.
so……
Xingxing stretched out his hands and opened his chest, carefully observing the densely packed components and various material connections inside. Finally... amid two panicked voices trying to stop him, he did not hesitate to cut off all the connections in his chest that were connected to the energy blocks with his hands.
Qiuqiu, who almost rushed into Xingxing’s chest: “…”
Qi Nan used his elbows to support himself and sat up from the ground: "..."
This little machine... No, this star, isn't it that it has not produced life intelligence, but rather a neural disorder caused by a disordered database? ?
He was stunned for a long time, and finally looked at the little robot who was standing quietly in the same place. He had called himself Xingxing before, but now he lowered his head and did not move. After a long time, he sighed helplessly.
"I've been exiled for so long that I've forgotten that children love to be coaxed by nice words."
He shook his head and moved his wrist slightly. The next second, the arm that originally belonged to human skin instantly split into an old mechanical body. He pulled the wheelchair over and climbed onto the table to easily support himself and stand up and sit on it.
In the air that he could not see, a round ball of light saw this scene and its nonexistent eyes widened in horror.
"No wonder Xingxing didn't help you just now. You actually lied to it and showed weakness!!!"
You know, even the robot Jixing couldn't lie successfully in front of Xingxing! No wonder Xingxing would rather study his own body than reach out to help this particularly fragile-looking old human.
Qi Nan doesn't deserve any sympathy at all! He is not old, weak, sick or disabled at all! !
With this pair of mechanical arms disguised as normal humans, he can instantly break several necks with the power of the machine when others are caught off guard! ! !
So he reached out to grab Xingxing just now... It was intentional! He was just teasing a child! What he said was half true and half false, but Xingxing recognized the lie, so he did a "self-harm" behavior that was far beyond Qi Nan's expectations.
Qiuqiu felt relieved for a moment, but after realizing that Xingxing did not rely on wisdom but on keen instinct, it fell silent again and silently made a villain for Qinan in its heart.
Cunning humans! It turns out that the longer humans live, the more cunning they become!
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in the new world, the first challenge I encountered was not the stars but myself.
Human hearts are really dirty!!!
Qiuqiu was angry and a little panicked. Any human's behavior could deceive him. Fortunately, Xingxing was not deceived this time, and fortunately, this human was the target of the mission. But what if he met another human with bad intentions? What if even Xingxing could not distinguish between true and false lies and the good and evil of the other party?
Not only will the star fail to complete the mission, but it might even be in danger of death, and will once again become a test subject in the eyes of others.
When thinking of this possibility, Qiuqiu felt uncontrollable panic and anxiety.
It is always eager to grow, but finds that it can never keep up with the changes in human beings and the challenges faced by the stars.
What should we do to ensure that stars never encounter truly fatal dangers?
It thought of a person.
A person who has data computing capabilities that are almost the same as his own, but understands the human mind better than himself.
So, during the time when Xingxing put himself into "hibernation", Qiuqiu supervised Qinan working on Xingxing and exporting various data, while he was writing a letter to Hu Xingzhe who was far away in another time and space.
I don’t know when it started, but it seemed to have adapted to and become dependent on Hu Xingzhe’s existence before the stars.
Qinan finally fixed the self-mutilating little robot.
But before pressing the start button to link the energy, he looked at all the core data and permissions in the chip installed in the small robot's body in the optical computer, moved his fingers, and finally did not make the decision that had been lingering in his mind.
He had not found those most important obedience commands in the core data of this little robot.
It is also the first mandatory command that must be implanted in all robot chips:
[A robot may never injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.]
[A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would contradict the first clause.]
[Robots must protect the interests of the state and the interests of their masters, unless the two conflict or are inconsistent with the above two.]
According to the Interstellar Federation Robotics Treaty, every robot that leaves the factory must have these three mandatory obedience commands in its smart chip.
But he didn't find these three commands in the chip data of Xingxing just now.
This also means that this little robot is completely uncontrollable, can be extremely aggressive and cannot be restricted by authority.
Qi Nan wanted to add these three commands to the little robot while it was in hibernation, but after he opened the chip control center, he was unable to put his fingers down to write the command code.
The little robot has its own name, and it says its name is Star.
The little robot knew that he wanted to study it, so even though it knew that he was lying, it took the initiative to open its chest and cut off the energy supply.
It said, "Hello, Qinan, my name is Xingxing."
Therefore, it is not just one of the thousands of service companion robots. It already has its own ability to think independently. It is already an independent, free and complete individual.
It is a newly born robot cub named Xingxing.
Qinan finally withdrew his finger that was hovering over the page on the computer.
He thought: Although it is impossible to find the little robot's past memories from the chip data that has been destroyed, since it has already died once and escaped the control of the command code, why should he be so cruel to put shackles on a new and tender life again?
Perhaps it was at the cost of death that he broke free from the control of the code, so the little robot could look him in the eye so vividly and say politely and obediently: "Hello, Qinan, I am Xingxing."
Qi Nan softened his heart.
He withdrew his finger from writing the code and touched the start button instead.
The next second, the little robot in front of him finally opened its beautiful and clean silver-white eyes again.
The old man and the child looked at each other quietly for a moment, and the little robot's eyes slowly curved.
"Hello Grandpa, I am Xingxing."
