Elle is sick.

Seriously ill.

Very ill.

It sounds a bit awkward, but it's true.

The origin of the matter was that during a routine scientific research, Ai Lei assisted Xu Xi in observing and recording data of neutron stars, white dwarfs and other stellar bodies.

Thanks to Ailei's outstanding performance, she completed the task meticulously.

Xu praised it.

Therefore, the machine soul is happy, super-large and ultimate happy.

This was supposed to be a peaceful daily routine, but the so-called accidents always come suddenly.

As the random soul's joyful words were triggered, Ailei fell into inexplicable confusion and her humanoid body fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xu Shi realized something was wrong and supported the heavy body in time.

Sparks flew and parts trembled.

The starship was at a standstill, lights flashing.

It is not just a humanoid moving body.

As long as they are controlled by Ellie, all machines involving AI calculations will synchronously enter an error state, just like seriously ill human tissue.

"Master, Master..."

The machine's eyes were dim and its voice was noisy.

Ai Lei lay in Xu Xi's arms, her hands and feet trembling at an abnormal frequency, and she kept trying to stand up.

But the result every time was failure.

"Let me do it, Ellie."

The loyal servitor didn't want to trouble Xu Xi, but Xu Xi couldn't just sit back and watch Ellie like this.

He spoke in a soothing tone, put his arms around Ellie's waist and legs, and carried her all the way to the flat workbench in his arms.

Intermittent lights and crackling noises.

As the intelligent control AI of the starship cluster, Elle's mistakes indirectly affect other equipment, making the scene a mess and making it difficult to carry out normal work.

Fortunately, Xu Xi has mechanical power and can also control these machines.

"Ellie, if you feel uncomfortable, just speak up."

Xu Xi reminded him.

Mechanical force surged at her fingertips, repairing Elle's severely damaged humanoid body.

During this process, he gently asked Ai Lei if she knew what her problem was.

"Yes, I will do my best to help you."

"terribly sorry……"

"Beep, self-test procedure activated, starship power unit shut down, auxiliary power unit shut down, logic verification performed—"

The whitish overhead light cast a hazy glow.

When it shines on the humanoid on the workbench.

Elle looked unusually vulnerable, her silver-blue eyes were hollow and dim, like candles that could go out at any moment.

The body becomes uncontrollable, entering into a perpetual state of dullness and elongation, unable to control normal functions.

Bewildered, puzzled, and confused.

Ai Lei examined herself again and again, trying to find out the reason for her "illness", and she sincerely felt that she had caused trouble to many people.

The machine soul was a little uneasy.

"It's okay, Ailei, don't worry about it," Xu Xi's voice was gentle.

The palm was wrapped in mechanical force, covering Airi's body, continuously repairing the damaged wounds.

About Elle's abnormality.

Regarding this sudden failure.

Xu Xi was very worried.

He was wondering what the truth of the matter was. Could it be that Ailei was infected with the virus? But where did the attack come from in the vast universe?

This worry did not last long.

After a three-day self-inspection, all crises were automatically eliminated.

Ailei's abnormality was not an attack from the outside, nor was it a so-called illness.

On the contrary, this is a very good thing.

"Mutation? No, it should be called evolution..."

Inside the Eco-Starship.

Xu Xi's voice echoed in the laboratory.

He looked at Ai Lei's self-examination report with a look of astonishment: "The computing power, which was already huge, has increased again, and this fluctuation is incredible..."

"Is it because of the entry that Elle's machine soul has further transformed?"

"This is beyond common sense."

"The suppressive power of the Robotic Disaster is mainly reflected in its self-replication. Every additional production line will bring about an exponential increase in troops."

"Its progress and its strengthening is through normal technological development."

"But the evolution of Elly's machine soul is beyond common sense and is an unprecedented miracle."

Energy surged along the pipes, illuminating the inside and outside with deep blue light.

Xu Xi was looking at the self-examination report.

His expression was sad.

Everything can be explained about Ailei's abnormality. After evolution, the machine soul became too powerful, and its computing power far exceeded that of the original body, and even the starship group could not bear it.

Therefore, the previous "symptoms" appeared.

The solution is simple. Wait until Ellie adapts to the new changes, then make a more advanced computer for her, and the show will end perfectly.

Of course.

During this period.

All matters related to the starship group, including scientific research, need to be temporarily suspended.

Only the most basic life-sustaining functions are retained.

"Ailei, you should take a good rest during this time and we'll talk about it after you recover."

“B-But…”

The cold servitor lay on the workbench.

Those dim eyes were so empty and lifeless, yet they revealed a sense of confusion and uneasiness.

"Serve... I want to... serve the master..."

The computing power is about to explode the fragile sound module.

First there was a vague hissing noise.

Then there were the gradually sharper explosions.

Xu Xi reached out and used mechanical force to repair Ai Lei's body again, gently stroking her restless head: "Wait until Ai Lei is well, then come and help me, okay?"

"……yes."

The loyal servitor still wanted to serve Xu Xi, cook for him, pour water for him, and calculate data for him.

but.

It is also necessary to obey the master.

With Xu Xi's comfort, the restless machine soul gradually calmed down, lying quietly on the alloy workbench, staring calmly at the silver ship ceiling above.

Then, the data transmission is disconnected.

…

[You have found out the truth about the robot's "disease"]

[That is a miracle born because of you, a new life that has never existed in the universe]

[Thanks to your existence, Elly's machine soul has been happy for a long time. At the intersection of machinery and humanity, a brand new evolution has begun.]

[Human evolution is based on changes in the environment and changes for better survival]

[So, what fields will the evolution of intelligent machine AI enter? ]

[You look at the shut-down Airei and fall into a long thought. You vaguely feel that Airei will embark on a new path because of this.]

[Yes, your soft rice is more fragrant]

[You are full of anticipation, waiting for the end of Elly's evolution in the cold and desolate deep space]

[Before that, you need to live alone for a while and control the operation of the starship group yourself]

[The robot blames itself for this, worrying that you are tired because of her absence.]

[You smiled and comforted the robot servant, telling her not to worry about you]

[As time goes by, you research the new photonic quantum computer while waiting for Elly's "recovery"]

[The evolution of the machine soul is more complicated than you thought. Three months have passed, and Ailei's condition is still unstable. She feels guilty about this.]

[Your answer is the same as always, saying that you will always wait for Ai Lei]
