Chapter 92: Mechanical Core (End)
In the afternoon, the waiter outside the hall heard that there was finally no movement inside and began to knock on the door.
It wasn't that he wanted to listen on purpose, but the noise... was really loud.
The two of them packed up everything and let the person in.
The waiter said, "The Feihong Empire really called."
"Oh?" Tao Xing frowned.
Tian Shuang immediately stood up: "I'll go fight."
"Tian Shuang, don't worry." The waiter said, "Their aircraft only dares to circle outside our planet and dare not come in."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid of you two." The waiter smiled proudly, "Like son, like father. The emperor of Feihong Empire and his prince have been circling over our heads for the whole morning, cursing us. Your Majesty said it's up to them, and they will go back when they are tired of cursing."
Tao Xing smiled and said, "I'll go and see what's going on."
Tianshuang: "I'll push you."
The wheelchair was pushed out, and indeed, there were hundreds of aircraft circling the sky. The leading aircraft turned on the loudspeaker. Tao Xing had heard this voice before. It was from Emperor Feihong: "Old Immortal Tao and Little Immortal Tao, come out here. If you don't give my son an explanation, I will start a war immediately!"
The sound played in a loop, surrounding the sky above the hall.
Many people came out to watch the fun. The more people there were, the louder the shouting became. The rumbling of the aircraft was accompanied by shouting and cursing, and the whole place was noisy.
Tianshuang pushed Tao Xing through the crowd. People made way for them and the two of them walked slowly along the road to the highest point of the square.
The sound above my head suddenly became quieter.
The two looked up.
The loudspeaker made a long "beep" sound, and then the shouting and cursing stopped. The aircraft circled silently, and after a few circles, it changed its route and began to move away from the hall.
Not long after, a sentence suddenly came from the loudspeaker: "Father, what are you doing..." Then, there was another beep, and there was no sound at all.
Several rows of aircraft rumbled back, and the blocked skylight slowly cleared.
At this moment, the light suddenly dimmed and the sky suddenly darkened.
People's faces changed slightly, and the noise suddenly stopped. The emperor walked quickly from the hall, his expression tense: "Oh no, the insect tide is coming!"
"What insect tide?" Tao Xing asked.
Tian Shuang narrowed his eyes and searched, and said to him: "There are alien species in the universe, black beetles, a kind of rodent, with six wings, six legs, and two tentacles. The size of an adult is comparable to our single-person aircraft. The wings are hard and sharp, and can cut iron like mud. The tentacles have thorns, and the thorns are highly poisonous. If they touch human skin, they will die within half an hour. There is no medicine to cure it. They spray mucus from their mouths, which is extremely corrosive. If humans touch their flesh and blood, they will be corroded to the bone in an instant."
Tao Xing: "Have they appeared before?"
Tianshuang continued searching: "They have appeared. They attacked the Universal Empire hundreds of years ago. At that time, people fought desperately and managed to repel them, but they were also severely damaged. Later, they dispersed into various galaxy empires. The key is that these insects reproduce by fission. Each individual can split into countless. They reproduce quickly and have strong survival ability. It is difficult to exterminate them. No matter how many times they are repelled, as long as there is still one, they can come back. They have no thoughts, no will, and wherever they pass, all living things are destroyed."
As he spoke, the emperor had already assembled his army, the crowd watching the excitement was urgently evacuated, and the soldiers set up defenses as quickly as possible.
It was getting darker.
"It seems that the galaxy where the Da Tao Empire is located is the first point of attack by the insect swarm this time. Even the light from the galaxy has been blocked. How many of them... are here?" The emperor frowned, looking worried.
In the sky, the countless flying machines that turned around suddenly flew back. Emperor Feihong jumped off and walked quickly to him: "You can't stop it with one galaxy. I will immediately dispatch the Feihong Empire's army."
Another person jumped out of the aircraft, and the little prince Fei Hong stamped his feet and shouted, "Father, it's fine that you are a coward and don't dare to fight them, but now you want to help them?"
Emperor Feihong said nothing, but kicked his son to the ground, then turned around and said, "I'm sorry, the child is ignorant, I've already beaten him."
The little prince was kicked until he was dizzy and had a sweet taste in his mouth. He stood up in fear and dared not speak loudly. He only muttered quietly: "Weren't we going to fight just now? Why did we make peace so quickly?"
Over there, Emperor Da Tao was nodding and said to Emperor Fei Hong: "Okay, thank you very much."
The two stretched out their hands and held them together.
The clenched hand made Tianshuang's eyes flicker.
He also wanted to know the question that little Prince Feihong had.
Why did the two empires that were at loggerheads with each other just a moment ago immediately put aside their past grudges and form a united front?
"When we encounter external enemies, these struggles will no longer be important." Tao Xing seemed to see through his doubts, "We must survive first."
After Tao Xing finished speaking, he stood up and walked forward. His legs were not fully healed yet, so he walked slowly but steadily. When he arrived in front of the emperor, he half-knelt and saluted: "Father, I request to go on this battle."
The emperor hesitated for a moment and sighed silently: "Approved."
Tianshuang looked at Tao Xing’s half-kneeling figure.
In the face of external enemies, all struggles are no longer important. Survival is the first priority. These words kept circling in his mind.
Yes, the insect swarm has conquered the universe, and there is not much chance that a robot like him will survive.
At this time, all the living beings in the human galaxy are a community, including various empires, humans, robots...
Tianshuang fell in love with humans, and he would follow Tao Xing to the battle no matter what. However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that humans and robots could also be a community.
He gave up the man-machine war for Tao Xing, and now, when the two emperors of the empire shook hands, he truly let go of all the barriers.
He strode forward and said, "Robot Tianshuang, please also go to the battle." After a pause, he continued, "I apply to be the first line of defense at the front line."
"Tianshuang..." Tao Xing called him.
Tian Shuang said: "I am a robot, I don't have flesh and blood, stingers and mucus are useless to me, I also have experience in luring enemies, and..."
He paused for a moment and looked around slowly: "I am a combat robot, born for combat!"
The emperor looked at him and said, "Good!"
The army set out, stepped onto the galaxy, and headed towards the vast universe.
The insect swarm blocks the light from the sky, and humans want to take the light back.
Originally, Emperor Da Tao was to be the general in this campaign, but in the first battle, Tao Xing demonstrated extremely strong command and dispatch capabilities as well as on-the-spot adaptability, so the emperor made a prompt decision to hand over his authority and let Tao Xing be the general.
Tianshuang stood at the front. With a force that could pull a planet, he punched over a large swarm of insects. Tao Xing led his troops to encircle the insects and killed them with lightsabers as they took off.
In the midst of the day and night fighting and struggling, a deafening shout was suddenly heard.
Tianshuang looked back and saw large numbers of troops coming from all directions.
Aircraft, various equipment, weapons, and countless soldiers. It was an unprecedented scene. So many humans, their armors were different, like stars gathered together to form a brilliant galaxy.
At this moment, they all asked Tao Xing for orders: "Under an overturned nest, all the galaxy empires in the universe must assemble and fight the enemy together. Please give us your instructions, generals!"
"Please give me instructions, General!"
The sound was so powerful that it caused the planet to tremble a few times.
In the mighty gust of wind, Tao Xing looked over from behind the mask and raised his hand: "Okay!"
Then, he looked forward and said, "Charge!"
"As long as there is one left, they can come back and then we will kill them all!"
“Go ahead…”
Tianshuang came back to his senses and once again joined the battle.
The battle was not easy. The beetles reproduced very quickly. If we killed 10,000 yesterday, there might be 20,000 more the next day. But people persisted and never backed down. Finally, they were killed faster than they could reproduce.
But the war lasted for half a year.
It was a full ten and a half years less than the last time the Great Empire fought against them. Yes, the last time the Zerg swarm came, it took humans eleven years of hard fighting to repel them.
It only took half a year this time because they had an extremely outstanding general and a powerful combat robot.
Even now, the soldiers are still shocked when they recall how Tianshuang single-handedly captured an insect nest.
One early morning.
With a "crack", the last insect was killed by the general's sword.
The tense people breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile. Looking back, they saw the sky just beginning to brighten.
Tao Xing held the insect on the tip of his sword, stood on a high place, and faced the sky: "From now on, there will be no more insect swarms coming."
Everyone stood up and shouted in unison.
The sound of laughter resounded through the stars, and the soldiers struck their weapons and composed passionate tunes.
Tianshuang's circuit board was beating violently due to the music, and he also felt the uplifting joy, which was a different experience from love. However, he knew that it was not produced by the body, but by his thoughts and emotions.
He smiled and looked at the man holding the sword under the sky light.
Emperor Da Tao stood in the crowd, looking at his son with satisfaction, a big smile on his face.
Then... he fell backwards with this smile. The sounds in his ears gradually faded away and his vision gradually darkened. When he closed his eyes, he saw Tao Xing running towards him in a hurry.
"His Majesty was seriously injured and there is no way to save him." The military doctor said solemnly, "He is gone."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet and Tao Xing closed his eyes.
The battle was victorious, but the emperor of the Great Tao Empire died on the battlefield and will be succeeded by his son.
Tao Xing took over the affairs of the empire, but the succession ceremony was not held until three years later.
Three years later.
The succession ceremony of Prince Xing of the Great Tao Empire.
On this day, almost all the empires in the universe came, and various equipment were set up on the scene to broadcast live, because this was not only the succession ceremony, but also... the wedding day of Prince Xing and Tianshuang.
The whole hall was filled with flying flowers. Prince Xing and Tian Shuang walked hand in hand towards the main hall and looked back on the steps.
Everyone bowed their heads and congratulated the newlyweds. The scene and the live broadcast room were lively and peaceful.
Next, everyone kowtowed again and wished the new emperor to ascend the throne.
Tianshuang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, took a step back and bowed with the others: "Greetings to the new emperor."
Tao Xing looked at him sideways, tilting her head slightly.
Tian Shuang held up an object in her hand and said, "The planet I brought as a gift for the last proposal, Your Majesty released it. I always feel that I owed it to you. Today I will present another gift to Your Majesty, one to celebrate Your Majesty's ascension to the throne, and the other to congratulate Your Majesty on your marriage."
Tao Xing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Congratulations on my wedding?"
Tianshuang said, "Congratulations on our wedding." Then he moved his hands, "Your Majesty, please accept it."
Tao Xing opened the brocade box in his hand, and saw a ring emitting a soft white light, crystal clear.
It’s just…this bright white light, why does it look so familiar?
Tian Shuang said: "This is my chip."
Tao Xing's hands trembled: "Did you take off the chip?"
"It's a corner of the chip, at the leaf stem. It's just for decoration and has no use to me, so I cut it off and made it into a ring. But..." Tianshuang smiled, "The chip is equivalent to my heart. I...sliced my heart and gave it to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty likes it."
This sounded a bit creepy. Tao Xing smiled, picked up the ring and put it on her hand: "I like it very much."
Then he took the robot's hand, pulled him up, looked at him with a smile, then pulled him into his arms and kissed him on the lips.
"Wow..." The whole hall was in uproar.
Tianshuang blushed, then raised her head to respond to the kiss.
During the passionate kiss, Tianshuang gently opened her eyes and looked at the ring in Tao Xing's hand.
This is an unused corner of his chip, yes, but... he used the chip energy to give this corner some special functions.
This ring contains all his operating data. If the ring is damaged, his operating data will be damaged. If the data is damaged, a robot is equivalent to being destroyed. It will no longer have consciousness and energy.
In human terms, he died.
He put his life in Tao Xing's hands.
The ring is naturally strong and will not be damaged easily. It will not break even if it is bumped or even bombarded. The only chance that may cause it to be damaged is... Tao Xing's life.
The ring senses Tao Xing's blood flow, pulse beat, and heart beat... If Tao Xing's health points disappear, the ring will automatically be destroyed.
In the vast universe, humans continue to thrive, but robots have no life. They can watch humans pass through thousands of generations.
However, Tianshuang was unwilling to do so. He wanted to live and die with Tao Xing.
He would not tell Tao Xing the function of the ring. Anyway, the new emperor was young and promising, full of vigor and vitality, and it was still a long time before he died.
The ceremony is over, it’s the wedding night.
The lights in the inner hall were dim, and 080 said softly: "Host, didn't you ask last time if you could restart your mind reading ability? The bureau said no, but I still submitted an application for you. Now the application has been approved. You can restart it for three weeks. Host, please cherish this time, because it will automatically shut down after three weeks."
"Oh." Tao Xing smiled, "Then open it."
"Now?" 080 asked in surprise, "Don't you need it in an emergency?"
"Right now."
"Okay." 080 Operator, "Host, it's already turned on, please use it sparingly..."
Before the system could finish its words, it was pushed deep into the host's consciousness.
Tao Xing turned over and pressed Tian Shuang under him. He touched Tian Shuang's heart with his finger and with a "click", Tian Shuang's pleasure parameters were increased.
The extreme feeling made the robot tremble uncontrollably.
[So much price increase…]
[Faster…]
[No, it's going to break...]
Tao Xing would listen to some of his thoughts and do what he wants.
If there is, then naturally they won’t listen.
Later, the robot lay on the bed with only garbled characters on its head, and couldn't help but say, this is too "capable".
Three hours was certainly not enough, but there was no need to see what he was thinking later. After all, the robot was already in a trance and confused, and had no time to think about anything.
Later...
The empires in the universe still live in harmony with each other as before, quarreling and helping each other.
People also began to develop super-intelligent technology, and Tianshuang, as the main R&D personnel, provided technical support.
In short, humans and robots love each other and live in peace. As for whether super-intelligent technologies will cause an intelligence crisis in the future, they have no control over it.
Life is a hundred years.
Tao Xing separated from the original owner and stepped into the chaos between the worlds. Looking back, he saw that Tian Shuang's data had been automatically destroyed and he also fell beside him. He couldn't help but be shocked.
After a long time, he stared at the ring on the original owner's hand, lost in thought.
080 said: "Host, the rewards in this world continue to be doubled, and there are still extra rewards. You didn't spend any money in this world, so the account balance is very generous. In addition, because you completed the task well, there are still benefits. You can still choose a skill to use in the next world. What do you want to choose?"
"what else?"
"You can't choose Mind Reading and Memory Tracking after you've used them. The only thing left is Invisibility."
Tao Xing: "Just tell me directly, what do you want me to choose?"
080 added the invisibility technique to the program: "Host, do you want to open the next world?"
"Open it." Tao Xing withdrew his gaze, turned around and stepped into nothingness.
Suddenly, the thick fog under his feet dissipated, his body tilted, and he fell suddenly.
At the same time, 080's alarm bells rang loudly: "Oh no, the program suddenly malfunctioned, and the world launch went wrong. What should I do...?"
"Huh?" Tao Xing's eyes went dark and he had fallen into the small world.
