Chapter 274 Machine 13
Yin Jia's limbs changed, accompanied by a series of clicking sounds. The mechanical legs and arms stretched out, and the palms retracted inward to reveal dark holes. The two muzzles were facing the door. One hand was slightly bent to make it easier for Jiang Chan to sit on it. She hugged Yin Jia's neck tightly with both hands for fear of falling.
Jiang Chan tilted her ear, her spirits tense. Although Yin Jia said he could do it, she was still worried. The time Yin Jia broke down, Jiang Chan asked him if there was any problem, and he replied that he was very healthy. Jiang Chan felt that Yin Jia was being a little stubborn.
The robot army stationed among the poor includes the lowest-level intelligent robots, which are very similar in shape to the hotel self-service robots from a few years ago, but are twice as large overall. In addition, they are equipped with an unknown number of humanoid machines. The humanoid machines are very lethal and can drop explosives and shoot from a distance. They can even share location information in real time when they capture the target.
This means that if they are discovered by them, Jiang Chan and Yin Jia will most likely become wanted criminals in the Mechanical City.
Jiang Chan instinctively felt that these robots would shoot them the moment they spotted them. The people living in the slums were all abandoned by the royal family, so they naturally had no respect or trust for the royal family. Even if Jiang Chan thought that burning the piled up corpses was a good thing, she was sure that the royal family would never approve of her actions. Instead, they would punish her for possessing silver armor that was enough to serve as a combat robot without permission.
Neither she nor Silver Armor could be discovered, let alone captured by the robotic army! However, more and more robotic soldiers gathered at the door, their footsteps overlapping. Jiang Chan's head ached from the clattering footsteps, and in a flash, she suddenly remembered the structure of the basement.
There is a very narrow ventilation hole in the room that connects to the ground. If Yin Jia blasts it open, they can escape from there. Yin Jia's shell has been upgraded, so if they are fast enough, they can leave before it collapses. Jiang Chan told Yin Jia about her idea.
"Silver Armor, is this possible?"
The reconstructed Yin Jia was cramped in the small basement. His head could not be stretched out and was pressed against the top of the wall. The silver metal covered the poor quality wall surface, and the silver metal fell down and landed on Yin Jia's arms, without even touching Jiang Chan's hair.
Yin Jia: "Young master, close your eyes and stay in Yin Jia's arms. Yin Jia will take you away." He pressed Jiang Chan against his chest. The place where the display screen was stored suddenly caved inward, revealing a space big enough for Jiang Chan to fit in. Jiang Chan said, "Yin Jia, you must be careful!" She curled up in, tightly wrapped by the metal wall. It was a bit stuffy, but she could bear it.
"Yes, young master." Yin Jia's voice was somewhat joyful. He felt his empty chest hiding the young master, and the young master filled his empty chest. He took very small steps, afraid of bumping the young master inside. Jiang Chan said in a muffled voice: "Yin Jia, don't be so slow, I'm suffocating!" Yin Jia replied: "Yes, young master."
He adjusted the size of the muzzle, dropped a small amount of explosives, and shot the vent accurately. With a deafening sound, Silver Armor held up the broken bricks in the gap and slammed them to the ground. The hole, which could only accommodate an adult male, was forcibly broken by Silver Armor, and the broken pieces fell to the ground with a crash. Silver Armor opened the switch on his chest with one arm, revealing a gap large enough for Jiang Chan to breathe, and continued to drop explosives with the other hand.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
Thick smoke billowed into the sky along with flames, and merged with the burning fire in the ruins in the air. A choking smoke covered the sky above the slums, and dust raised by the collapsed high-rise buildings floated in the air. There was no need for smoke bombs to confuse the vision, as the field of vision was filled with splashing gravel and sparks.
Jiang Chan: "Are they all buried in the ruins?" As soon as she showed her head, she was choked and coughed. Silver-armored hands pressed on her head, pushing her in.
Shining Armor: "Not yet."
Jiang Chan was very disappointed: "Ah..."
"But Shining Armor can handle it."
"Don't let them find me. I don't want to be wanted." Jiang Chan knocked on the inner wall of the metal, bang, bang, bang. Silver Armor trembled all over and his voice became colder: "Yes, young master." At the same time, his inner wall became hot. Jiang Chan thought it was because of the flame. The external temperature rose and Silver Armor was affected.
"Attention, attention, dangerous factors detected! Searching for the target——"
The voices of the robot army remained steady, but in Silver Armor's field of vision, the metal eyes they used to aim at the target were obscured by ashes. Even if the ashes drifted away, their internal programs were attacked by a virus, and the metal eyes became dim, making it impossible to complete the command to scan the target.
When they kill, they have to search for targets, enter battle, and wipe out lives. However, at this moment, they have not even taken the first step. They can only detect dangerous factors around them, but cannot locate and aim at all.
There is no comparison between intelligent machines and machines that already possess autonomous consciousness. In the early stages of machine development, massive amounts of data must be invested and a large number of algorithms must be constructed. This process often takes years or even decades. However, for robots with autonomous consciousness, inputting new data and constructing new algorithms only takes a few minutes or even seconds.
Silver Armor destroyed the "lingering" machine army without any effort.
Mechanical fragments mixed with debris splashed to the ground, and a fireworks display rarely seen in a century broke out in the slums, plundering the surrounding oxygen and forcing the temperature to rise higher and higher!
Just standing nearby made me feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
The fire was still burning, accompanied by crackling sounds. Residents who had been hiding in the corridor and had not been able to go out for weeks came downstairs and gathered nearby to watch the fire that destroyed the machine army.
I don't know who shouted "We are free!" The crowd dispersed and rushed out to the street, and those with guns fired wildly like hungry mad dogs, cheering for the demise of the machine army. It was a bloody carnival, without order, only depression, darkness and perversion.
Jiang Chan's ears were filled with gunshots, screams, curses, and pleas for mercy. She was a little confused and didn't understand how things turned out like this. She just wanted to burn the bodies piled on the streets. Since the royal family didn't care, she would protect her own interests and take care of it herself. If the machine army wanted to capture them, then destroy them. But how did it develop like this?
Jiang Chan called out softly, "Silver Armor."
Yin Jia wanted to stuff Jiang Chan back into his chest, but Jiang Chan had already pulled her head out from under the outer wall, with the white gauze still firmly tied around her eyes. Her face was filled with panic, "What happened?"
"Little Master, it's okay."
Jiang Chan said "Oh".
Silver Armor picked her up and walked back. "Young Master, the environment here is filthy and dark, filled with gutter rats and unscrupulous villains. Yet, the royal machine army did not rectify the killings in the slums, but instead imprisoned everyone inside. They were wrong in the first place, and destroying the wrong is the right thing to do. However, those people, no matter where they are, will disrupt social order. Don't blame yourself for the killings they caused."
As soon as the conversation changed, Silver Armor's cold voice rang in his ears: "If the young master is sad, Silver Armor can destroy them all."
Jiang Chan seemed to be able to hear the danger alarm beeping in her ears. If she said a step later, Yin Jia would be able to identify the target and wipe it out...
Jiang Chan was protected by the silver armor, so she didn't feel scared even amid the deafening cries for help, but she felt a little stuffy in her chest.
She had lived like this before Yin Jia left. Jiang Chan buried her face in Yin Jia's arms, "No, let's go home! If, if you see anyone bullying someone on the way home, Yin Jia, just... "
Shining Armor: "Eradicate."
Jiang Chan was silent for a moment: "Kill anyone with blood on his hands, and throw away anyone who bullies others!" On the way home, he really encountered a home robbery. Yin Jia aimed and shot directly, taking out the villains along the way. The moment he opened the door, dense bullet sounds rang out. It was the robot army that arrived to maintain order.
The door closed, isolating the sound. Jiang Chan, however, clung to Yin Jia's body and refused to get down. It was too thrilling, too terrifying! What if she didn't have Yin Jia? Thinking of this, she became even more dependent on Yin Jia, wrapping her arms around him tightly. If Yin Jia had a respiratory tract, she would probably suffocate to death.
But Yin Jia didn't, and Yin Jia was very happy.
Jiang Chan was very tired and fell asleep in Yin Jia's arms. Because of what happened during the day, she had frequent nightmares. Yin Jia patted her back and disinfected her whole body, but her clothes were dirty and he was dirty too. He stood at the door, holding her and supporting her with his arms. When Jiang Chan woke up at dawn, she still felt like she was sleeping in bed. She slept well, but her back was a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Chan changed out of her dirty clothes and went to the bathroom to wash. After what happened yesterday, the streets became very clean and the air was much fresher, but the slums were still blocked and even more robot armies were sent in.
They didn't think someone from the slums was behind this, but instead targeted Tulong, believing him to be a terrorist threat against the royal family. Jiang Chan pushed open the windows and breathed in the fresh air. She had slept well last night and was in good spirits. She pushed the door open and left, her feet slippery from the wetness, so she walked carefully.
Just as she bumped into Yin Jia, Yin Jia's warning rang out: "Young Master, Yin Jia is right in front of you, please pay attention..."
Shining Armor's voice was gentle: "Young Master, I'm sorry that Shining Armor bumped into you."
Jiang Chan thought he was doing it on purpose, but Yin Jia's voice was serious and formal, so Jiang Chan said, "It's okay, Yin Jia, why are you standing at the door?"
Shining Armor: "Young Master, Shining Armor needs your help."
"Um?"
"Silver Armor is dirty. Silver Armor needs to be cleaned."
Jiang Chan used to help him often. Although she couldn't see, she wiped it very carefully. She first used a paper towel to remove the dust on the surface, then wiped it again, and then wiped it with a wrung-out wet towel, making the silver armor shine. Jiang Chan wiped it again with a dry towel, wiping it very clean and carefully.
But Yin Jia still pointed at his chest and said, "Young master, there are water marks on Yin Jia's chest." Jiang Chan changed to a clean towel to wipe it. After wiping, Yin Jia said that his eyes were dirty. Jiang Chan was very patient and wiped his eyes carefully and seriously. She was very close to him. The red light emitted by the metal eyes was soft and warm. Jiang Chan could feel that Yin Jia was looking at her. She stopped what she was doing and tilted her head towards him.
"Ginger Armor, what are you looking at? Isn't my face clean?"
Shining Armor said no.
Getting very close, the hormone levels detected in Jiang Chan's body were very normal, with almost no fluctuations. She was just a little tired from wiping his body, her breathing became louder, there were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks were flushed. Yin Jia stared at her closely, inexplicably, because the detected hormone levels did not change, he felt a little lost.
He didn't understand why he felt lost, nor did he know where the loss came from. He just felt that if he had to describe it in human language, his chest, the very core, was very stuffy.
But Yin Jia quickly adjusted his state and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Chan: "Thank you, young master."
He added, "Silver Armor likes the young master."
The voice was calm and cold, mixed with an inhuman, mechanical sound. Jiang Chan was delighted to hear this. She and Yin Jia were very close, and she didn't feel shy at all. This was a very common expression of affection. She stood on tiptoe, cupped Yin Jia's face, and kissed him on the cheek, smiling and saying, "Yin Jia, I like you too!"
Shining Armor was silent.
The metal casing slowly became scorching hot.
