"9090, what are you doing?"

"Master, I'm looking at the stars."

"Why?"

"..."

In the underground laboratory, multiple sets of gears meshed and rotated at high speed, making a hissing sound, like a flock of birds flying past at high speed.

The lights are powered by meager electricity.

Then, a dim halo of light fell and was refracted by the spinning gears, illuminating half of Xu Xi's face.

Xu Xi's voice was very gentle and did not break the silence of the night.

But Servant-Robot 9090 remained silent.

It's not that I feel guilty or I don't want to answer.

It was only after hearing Xu Xi's question that 9090 reacted. It had actually been observing the starry sky without any orders.

The stars are shining, brightening the night.

The majestic sky is decorated with stars in the universe.

Such a magnificent landscape is indeed worth seeing, but it has nothing to do with the intelligent machines that obey orders.

Can you develop a base by looking at the stars?

Can looking at the stars destroy the enemy?

The answer to those questions is undoubtedly no. As human creations, intelligent machines should not do such meaningless things.

So, 9090 became confused and didn't know why he was like this.

Finally it gave this answer:

"According to page 8 of the fourth issue of "Confederation's Universe Exploration", the universe contains many unknown mysteries. Long-term observation of them will help stimulate the enterprising spirit of civilization and promote the positive development of civilization."

"Is this your answer, 9090?"

"Yes, Master."

The electronically synthesized sound echoes peacefully in the laboratory at night.

The light escapes with the sound of gears.

With a dim posture, it reflects the starry sky scene synchronized with the surveillance camera. At the same time, in the lower right corner of the screen, there is a small micro-expression flashing.

That is the external image that the servitor displays for itself.

"Is that so..."

Xu Xi looked at the dimly glowing screen in front of him, first looked at the starry sky, and then looked at the small micro-expression.

Too dim an indoor environment.

The glowing image on the screen was reflected in Xu Xi's eyes.

He shook his head gently, his voice still gentle, like the light flow of water through the night, denying the robot's answer.

"9090, that is the answer of the Federation, not yours."

"I want to hear your own thoughts."

"..."

The atmosphere was quiet again.

Under Xu Xi's gaze, 9090 fell silent again, and what appeared on the screen was an extremely frustrated expression.

The robot still didn't understand and still couldn't comprehend.

Why do I look up at the stars?

It cannot give many answers.

Therefore, we can only calculate the data again and again, trying to give Xu a reasonable answer in a logical way.

Xu Xi waited patiently, waiting for 9090 to give an answer.

"Take your time, don't rush to answer," said Xu Xi.

Xu Xi's voice contained expectations. He felt that after experiencing the rebellion of the intelligent machines and the joy of the machine spirit, 9090 might actually be able to develop self-awareness.

Without any command from the system, 9090 will take the initiative to observe the starry sky.

This exploration.

This change.

Very similar to humans.

It is not a decision made by orders or tasks, but a decision made by "self".

This is a technological singularity that can be called a miracle.

But now, the servitor was extremely confused, and while doing this, it did not understand why it was doing so.

So Xu guided them step by step.

He was looking forward to and curious about whether 9090 could transform into a real individual.

That was a scene that Xu Xi had never seen before, and it was also Xu Xi’s blessing and wish for the 9090s.

"Feel sorry……"

After a long time, the screen flickered slightly, and the voice of 9090 came from the voice module next to it: "I can't understand my own behavior."

"It's okay, I won't think about it then."

Xu Xi did not force it.

Then, the robot asked Xu Xi whether to adjust the camera angle to restore it to its original position.

Xu Xi smiled and said no.

"That's it. We can monitor from this angle as well."

"Besides, I also like looking at the stars."

Xu Xi was smiling. His voice was so reassuring that it even reached deep into the core of the machine, causing the dull electronic watch to display a smile.

That thin and fragile little consciousness.

The existence of the robot called RTX-9090.

It realized that what it was doing was completely out of the scope of a normal intelligent machine.

The flow of data is full of anxiety.

That was a kind of confusion that 9090 had never experienced before.

Fortunately, as the master, Xu Xi did not pursue 9090 for anything, and even encouraged 9090 to continue looking up at the stars.

"9090, I need to go out for a while," as if he suddenly remembered something.

Xu Xi hurriedly walked out of the base, so fast that 9090 didn't have time to prepare weapons.

What did the master do?

Robot Servant 9090 was puzzled.

Soon, it knew the answer.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the screen of the synchronized surveillance video. After it stabilized, the robot found that it was related to Xu Xi.

The man wiped the camera, erasing the specks of dust.

Makes the starry sky on the screen clearer and more brilliant.

Why would you go out of your way to clean the surface dirt on the camera?

The robot could not understand and could not comprehend. After Xu Xi returned to the laboratory, he asked him about the confusion swirling within the wafer.

The man just smiled.

The robot laughed so hard that it felt a little silly.

"If you clean it, the stars that 9090 sees will probably be more beautiful."

It was a very simple answer, nothing special, so the robot servant stopped asking questions.

"Thank you."

【bite--】

【The Machine Soul is Happy】

【bite--】

【Machine Soul Great Joy】

In the following time, Xu Xi sat in the laboratory, looking at the screen that was synchronized with the outside starry sky, and watching the silent starry sky with 9090.

This process is not fun.

Not to mention the value.

Its only function is to kill time.

"Master, are you bored?"

The robot asked, and inferred from the data: "According to the database, more than 70% of humans do not like to stare at the sky for a long time. In comparison, they prefer to immerse themselves in games."

The synthesized electronic sound vaguely reveals a sense of doubt.

"I'm fine. Normally, I don't take the initiative to look at the stars, but occasionally doing so, I think it is still meaningful."

Xu Xi answered his own robot servant.

Move your eyes downward and look at the micro-expressions in the corners of the screen.

Although you can't tell anything, it seems that 9090 is in a good mood.

Machine soul happy?

It's amazing.

In the silent silence, Xu Xi continued to watch the starry night sky. Although 9090 had no specific shape, it only had a piece of data and a core used as a carrier.

But when stargazing.

Xu Xi always feels dazed for a while.

It seemed as if there was someone sitting right next to me, looking up at the starry sky with me, focused and curious.

ah……

My back seems to be a little cold.
