A Bug’s Desire to Survive

Chapter 45: Robot Tutor (2)

Views:

Yuan Chu came to this world, found dozens of children of destiny, and finally chose "Fei Xiu". He is young, energetic and talented. At the age of 23, he made great achievements in battle and became famous. However, after being injured and retiring, he was at a turning point in his life. The sky was bright for him to advance and the abyss was for him to retreat.

He left the battlefield with regret and unwillingness, hiding in this remote town, refusing to communicate with anyone. It was very difficult to get close to him and establish contact with him at first.

After much consideration, she decided to temporarily transform into a robot to gain his trust, and then guide him step by step to create a new future.

However, Yuanchu, who had not established contact with the Son of Destiny, was harmed by the power of the law anytime and anywhere. It was difficult to survive in the small world. The robot he transformed into was just a defective product. Although he successfully attracted the attention of the Son of Destiny, he failed to do so. Let him take her home, and unfortunately met a patrolling mechanical dog.

Yuan Chu knew that Fei Xiu was hiding in the dark, but he had no intention of helping. She could only save herself, using her only remaining mechanical arm to slap the mechanical dog away, but the force of the blow was not enough to subdue the mechanical dog. She saw it stand up and rush towards her again, where it was lying in the garbage. , the circular mobile base suddenly split and dislocated, turning into two mechanical legs, which accurately clamped the neck of the mechanical dog.

In the dark, Fei Xiu originally thought he would see the tragic scene of the robot being dismembered, but unexpectedly, her base turned out to be a composite mobile device. She switched modes at the critical moment and used a scissor kick.

The mechanical dog kept shaking its body, trying to shake off the robot hanging from its neck, but it was like a dog-skin plaster, so sticky that it couldn't be shaken off.

Not long after, the mechanical dog's metal eyes lit up with red light, and two laser beams were fired at the robot hanging under its neck.

With a few hisses, the armor on the robot's chest emitted green smoke, leaving two traces of melting.

The attack power of the mechanical dog is not strong, but it is more than enough to deal with a dilapidated and old assistant robot.

Lasers shot at her body one after another, leaving her incomplete body riddled with holes. The metal parts that took her several days to replace were damaged again, and large pieces of green smoke came out of her body, but she always There was no need to let go of her legs.

One minute, two minutes... five minutes, the robot's eyes flickered on and off. Whenever Fei Xiu thought she was going to lose the next second, she saw the light come on again, dragging its broken body, bravely Fighting against an enemy dozens of times stronger than her.

Fei Xiu was in a trance and saw a strong desire for survival in a robot.

The battle, which could have ended in three minutes at most, persisted for seven minutes under the robot's stubborn resistance, costing nearly 70% of the body damage and draining all the energy of the mechanical dog.

They fell to the ground at the same time, letting the rain pound on them, making a crackling sound.

Fei Xiu slowly walked out of the darkness and came to the place where the two mechanical creatures lay. He looked at the tattered body of the robot, which had completely lost its luster, as if it had turned into a cold metal corpse.

He observed the robot for ten days, watching her repair her body bit by bit, replace parts, piece together the skeleton, and survive alone in the ruins like an ant.

However, what happens no matter how hard you try? Didn't it turn into a pile of garbage in the end? A low-level mechanical dog can easily kill you and make all your efforts in vain.

A flash of self-mockery flashed in Fei Xiu's eyes, the rain slid across his face, his wet hair hung down unbearably, and his whole person exuded a depressed and desolate atmosphere.

After pausing for a moment, he moved his steps, turned around, and was about to leave. Just as he was taking steps, a weak pulling force suddenly came from his boots, which stopped him from moving forward.

Fei Xiu lowered his head and saw a mechanical leg resting on his instep, as if trying to hook his ankle, but he didn't have enough control, so he lifted it up and down several times.

Fei Xiu followed the mechanical leg and looked at the owner of the leg - the robot that was supposed to be cool. There was only a faint, almost negligible dark glow left in her eyes. Her broken body was suppressed by the mechanical dog. Since she had no arms, she could only squirm slowly like a caterpillar, struggling in the muddy water. , so pitiful and ridiculous.

"Your body can no longer be repaired, and there is endless energy left." Fei Xiu said coldly, "Soak in the rain for dozens of minutes, and it will soon lose all its functions, and then become part of this pile of garbage. "

The robot seemed to understand. The mechanical legs dropped weakly, splashing muddy water with a splash.

"No matter how good you were, once you lose your ability, you will be worthless." With these last words, he left decisively.

Fei Xiu felt that he was ridiculous, trying to seek comfort in a robot, following her like a fool, observing her, watching her repair her body day after day, and was about to succeed, but when a mechanical dog Under the attack, it turned into a pile of metal garbage again.

After running back to the manor, Fei Xiu rushed into the bathroom, washed himself clean with warm water, then returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.

The next day, after the rain, the sky cleared up. Fei Xiu woke up to the chirping of birds, got up, washed, put on home clothes, ate a piece of compressed biscuit, put on his sneakers, and prepared to go out for a morning run.

As he stepped out of the door, he suddenly felt something hit him. When he looked down, his pupils suddenly shrank.

A few rays of morning light fell on the steps outside the door, reflecting the mottled shadows of the trees. A tattered robot leaned against the wall. The silver-gray metal shell was covered with scratches, and its two metal legs were curled up into a ball. Different footprints, carrying half-dried muddy water, extended from her feet to the outside of the yard.

She... followed him back

How could she achieve a distance of several kilometers, given her condition at the time

Fei Xiu tightened his fingers, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.

He didn't care when she was tossing around in the trash and trying to repair herself; he didn't care when she was attacked by a mechanical dog; he didn't care when she was struggling to die.

Now, she exhausted her last strength and staggered to find his manor.

Will he continue to sit on the sidelines

Fei Xiu closed his eyes, finally bent down, and with a gentle movement that he didn't even notice, he picked up the robot in his arms and took it home.

Fei Xiu had not systematically learned to repair machinery, but he had been in the army for many years and he still understood simple mechanical structures. He first checked the core of the robot. There was only 1% energy left, and it couldn't even be turned on. I really don't know how she persisted in getting here.

After removing the outer shell, Fei Xiu was exposed to the entire internal structure of the robot, which shocked him again.

The internal parts are old and new and look messy, but it is incredible that such a messy structure can maintain the normal operation of the robot.

Which factory made this robot? The performance is so good!

Fei Xiu searched carefully and found no manufacturer's mark. He only found two vague fonts on the edge of the core.

"...Chu?" Fei Xiu could only identify one word, "Is this your name? Chu..."

Fei Xiu dried her whole body, wiped away the stains, and made simple repairs to ensure that she would not fall apart, and then recharged her energy.

He planned to see if she could still start, and if she could still start, he would find a mechanic to help her replace her body with a new model. Now this body is too damaged, repairing it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it has no use value.

An hour later, the energy was charged to 10%, and Fei Xiu was about to try to turn it on, when he saw the robot's eyes suddenly light up, blue light flashing, staring at him quietly.

Fei Xiu: "...you're awake."

Yuan Chu's eyes flickered a few times, and he was in a good mood. Because she found that when she died, she had successfully established a connection with this son of fate, temporarily getting rid of the crisis of being rejected by the law.

With a thought in her mind, the mechanical legs made a clicking sound and slowly folded and folded. As a result, the parts were damaged and got stuck in the middle, like a crab.

Original: “…”

Fei Xiu: "..."

"Your body is too badly damaged, and many of its functions can no longer be used." Fei Xiu said, "I will help you find a mechanic in a few days to replace your body."

"Hey..." Yuan Chu adjusted the voice system and made a cold mechanical sound, "Can you help me connect the arm first?"

Fei Xiu looked at her in surprise: "You can still speak???"

Original: "I have a complete speech database that stores 42 universal languages."

"But you are just an assistant robot." Fei Xiu pointed out, "How can you carry out complex communication with humans?"

"I am the first-generation intelligent assistant robot newly developed by Kemal Company in 3711. The intelligence level is 5.7 times higher than that of ordinary robots."

Fei Xiu: "... Do you know what year it is now?"

Yuan Chu: "I have just left the factory a year ago and it has been put into use for less than half a year. It is now 3713 years old, and the error is about 2 to 3 months."

Fei Xiu: "... No, it is now 3724."

Original: “…”

"Moreover," Fei Xiu added, "Kemal Company went bankrupt more than ten years ago because of illegal research and development of intelligent robots. You may have been among the batch of robots that were destroyed."

Of course Yuanchu knew it, so he chose this identity, an intelligent robot that survived the crisis of destruction.

"I thought you were a mutant robot at first, but I didn't expect you to be an intelligent robot." After the man-machine war, the development of intelligent robots was restricted, and today's general-purpose home robots only retain basic auxiliary functions.

This robot was probably sent for destruction not long after it left the factory, but it was not completely destroyed. By some chance, it turned on by itself and survived alone in the garbage dump.

With the intelligence she showed, she should have attracted the attention of the world. However, as soon as she was born, she was destroyed and thrown into the garbage dump. She has been sleeping until she wakes up.

Fei Xiu felt that she was really similar to him. She was extremely talented, but had a bad fate. She fell from a rising star to dust on the ground. From then on, she could only associate with garbage, and completely lost the qualification to pursue her dreams.

"If you don't want to be destroyed again, then don't show yourself too prominently in front of anyone except me. I will go back and input the basic data of today's assistant robot into your chip. You must learn to be a qualified, fake Assistant robot." As for the mechanic, he didn't plan to look for it for the time being, lest he be discovered.

Yuanchu: "...Okay."

No problem if you pass the test, just forget it.
