Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The Crucible.
When Tao Ying opened her eyes again, she saw a sky full of stars. However, the nights in Laimen City were always covered by the sky, and there was light pollution everywhere, so there had never been such a scene.
She's not in Leimen, where is this?
From time to time, sharp, high-frequency noises came into my ears, as if they were going to penetrate my eardrums.
Her eyes were dry, so she closed them tightly a few times and looked at the starry sky again.
There is a red beacon star shining in the north. Judging from the color, brightness, and size of this star, it is an artificial star in the fourth galaxy.
She is in the fourth galaxy.
A mechanical rumble echoed beneath him. Tao Ying supported himself with his hands and slowly sat up. He scanned his surroundings, taking in his surroundings.
…Okay, she’s on a garbage conveyor belt.
To be precise, it was a conveyor belt filled with countless discarded bionic men.
The discarded android was the same model, a popular household robot, I remember. It now merged with the garbage, being carried by a conveyor belt to a giant metal barrel several hundred meters away.
"Boom—"
The hill of androids collapsed with a jam on the conveyor belt.
Tao Ying's calf was pressed by the cold, hard metal. He hissed and used all his strength to pull his leg out.
She checked his legs and made sure there were no crush injuries before putting him down.
Anyway... so thin.
Although she often stays in the laboratory, she also exercises, so why are her calves as thin as bamboo poles?
It was as if they were not her own legs.
Ignoring this abnormality for the moment, she found a safe place to sit. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the nameplate on the charging port on the back of the android's neck. She stretched out her fingers and rubbed the uneven metal a few times, revealing the code beneath the dust.
ALMH-01224-0808-1035. Produced in Leimen, and… wait, 1224?
How is that possible? Heng's final debugging was carried out in early 1215.
It's impossible that she slept for ten years, right?
The tinnitus still didn't stop and my head was buzzing.
Tao Ying endured the pain and pressed the switch to activate the bionic man - she needed to know some basic information about the current situation.
The bionic man's pale blue eyes suddenly lit up, and his head mechanically turned ninety degrees to the left and right, scanning and surveying the surrounding environment.
Seeing Tao Ying, the android seemed a little confused, but he still greeted her in a friendly manner.
"Hello, companion."
Contemporary bionic humans were created to serve humans from the very beginning, so all kinds of data adjustments are based on human preferences and have a natural affinity.
Look, he calls her a companion.
Tao Ying asked.
"What time is it?"
"time?"
The android showed a puzzled expression and pointed at her head, as if asking, "Don't you know?"
Tao Ying raised her wrist to indicate, "I don't have a laptop."
The bionic man tilted his head, seemingly not understanding what Tao Ying meant, but he still answered Tao Ying's question in a friendly manner.
"I see. Your networking module is damaged. Unable to read the time."
"It is now 15:28:58 on June 1, 1225, Star Calendar. This is Shamatte, the fourth galaxy, in an uninhabited garbage dump."
"My android friend."
My android friend.
Tao Ying's brain seemed to be struck by an electric current.
Tao Ying had initially thought the crackling noise was tinnitus, but now she realized it was more like the sound of an electric current from a poor chip connection.
But how can there be a chip in the human brain?
This violates interstellar ethics, unless... she is no longer human.
As if hearing her thoughts, a mechanical voice spoke in her head.
[The terminal has lost connection with the control center and is trying to reconnect.]
[Network reconnection failed, switching to the backup connection line. ]
Tao Ying stretched out her hand, revealing her left wrist. The skin on the inside of her wrist was uneven, branded with a line of code: [ALMH-01220-0628-2234].
This is the body of an advanced bionic human.
She remembered that, yes, this body couldn't be hers because she was dead.
That day, every exit of the institute was blocked by burning high-temperature oil.
In order to avoid the fire, Tao Ying fled into an abandoned experimental site.
The situation was urgent at the time and Tao Ying didn't pay attention to where that place was. Only now did she remember that many years ago she had worked here with her mentor on a project about how human consciousness is converted into electronic signals.
Perhaps in her haste, she accidentally activated the laboratory's mental power instrument...
Tao Ying only remembered the last flash of white light, and when she woke up again, she was in this garbage dump.
Simply put, Cyber is reincarnated.
Tao Ying couldn't help but cover her face and sigh.
The tutor had been working on this project for more than ten years without any results. Now she succeeded with just a casual press. If the tutor finds out one day, he will probably be so angry that he will be sent to the hospital to get an artificial heart.
"What's wrong, comrade?" The android's companion gave him a concerned look.
"nothing."
Tao Ying pressed her temples which were throbbing with pain from the electric current and looked at her "companion" in front of her.
So now they are all "abandoned" to remote galaxies.
If she had known earlier that someone would promote the Bionic Human Rights Act to her, she would have voted for it.
The conveyor belt under my feet suddenly accelerated.
At the same time, the androids around him stood up in unison. They were so powerful and in groups that they turned their heads in one direction.
Tao Ying looked in the direction they were going and saw a huge barrel-shaped metal container standing there with red flames coming out of the opening.
Then.
As if infected with a virus, the bionic human formation kept repeating a word mechanically.
"Destroy." "Destroy."
“Destroy.” “Destroy.” “Destroy.” “Destroy.” “Destroy.”
"Start the automatic destruction process."
The sounds in her ears came one after another, and even the household robot that had just called Tao Ying "bionic companion" joined the team.
The mechanical sound of destruction penetrated Tao Ying's ears like a curse, and a crackling sound of electricity came from the back of her head.
Tao Ying's eyes went dark and he stood up unconsciously.
When she regained her vision, she had already reached the front of the bionic team.
A dry, hot wind blew from under the huge metal container, making it difficult for Tao Ying to open her eyes.
“…”
Hot air comes from the heating modules on the side walls of the metal container.
It was also in this way that Tao Ying could truly see clearly that the huge object in front of him was not a metal barrel at all, but a huge furnace.
The thick metal liquid kept rolling, and the stones that fell into it were instantly reduced to ashes.
The heat wave hitting her face made Tao Ying take a step back.
...Honestly, if she hadn't died, she would definitely vote for the Bionic Human Rights Act.
The bionic "companion" beside him obeyed the command from the terminal and stepped into the furnace.
It sank slowly.
The skin still on the liquid surface was splashed with metal liquid and quickly opened up, then was torn off, revealing the metal inside.
The liquid metal ruthlessly penetrated its joints and crevices, destroying every delicate electronic component on it.
The T-type alloy, which is heat-resistant at 1000 degrees, melts into molten metal in just a moment.
Finally, until his head sank into the liquid metal, his pale blue eyes were still staring at Tao Ying, and the sound of broken electronic parts rang out from the half-melted sound module.
"See you again, my fellow androids."
The crackling sound of electricity sounded again deep in his head. Tao Ying stretched out his left foot and unconsciously wanted to step down.
The electronic sound keeps repeating "destroy", like the devil's spell luring people to hell.
Tao Ying pinched her thigh.
no.
She had to break free from the control of the android signal.
