Sitting on the chair tiredly, Grandma Hui didn't want to talk to her anymore. She waved her hand and asked her to leave, saying, "Forget it, forget it. You are just like your grandfather. You are possessed by ghosts and won't listen to me."
Qin Minghui also sat down and said awkwardly, "I'm afraid you'll be upset if you stay here alone... I'd better stay here with you."
Grandma Hui glared at her: "Are you afraid that I will commit suicide? I am already this old, I am not afraid of anything that 01 robot does. I am worried about you, do you understand?"
Qin Minghui nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."
Because Qin Minghui, the person involved, did not cooperate, and because the other robot involved, 01, was too cunning, this secret meeting failed to achieve the desired effect. Grandma Hui looked at the completely hacked main system with dismay, and felt that she had let a wolf into the house, so she angrily drove Qin Minghui back.
Qin Minghui returned to her room and turned on the lights. The humanoid robot 01 was still lying on the bed, just like the robots outside that had stopped running after their systems were shut down.
"01, now, immediately, open your eyes." Qin Minghui said while sitting on the edge of the bed.
01 opened his eyes without saying a word and sat up. He stood up, squatted, took out a washboard that had been prepared long ago from under the bed and placed it in front of the bed, then knelt straight. 01 performed this series of actions very smoothly and fluently, as if he had practiced it hundreds of times.
Qin Minghui forgot what she was going to say for a moment and just stared at the thing he dragged out: "Washboard?"
"Yes, young lady." 01 said, "I saw it in the database. This is a trend in a certain period of history. At that time, when people had a quarrel, one party would apologize by kneeling on the washboard. It is said that this method of admitting mistakes is the most effective and sincere. Since there is no washboard here, 01 specially selected wood to make a new one."
Rubbing his forehead, Qin Minghui pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Goodbye, you should just sit down."
"Okay." 01 stood up and sat down as he was told, then took out a thick stack of handwritten manuscripts from his arms and handed them to her, "Miss, this is my handwritten 30,000-word apology letter."
Qin Minghui took it, flipped through it and said, "It looks like you've been prepared for this?"
01 put his hands on his knees and said honestly, "Although I am prepared, the expression on the young lady's face still scares me a little."
Qin Minghui was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "01, what will you do if I die?"
She had asked 01 a similar question before, and at that time 01 had not yet activated his emotional system. He replied, "Okay, little lady." and promised to take her body to find the Mechanical Kingdom.
But now, 01 sat opposite her and said calmly and matter-of-factly: "Don't worry, little miss, robots are the most likely in the world to achieve immortality."
His implication was that she would not die.
He no longer accepted the possibility of her death.
"So, those robot bodies you made secretly were prepared for me?" Qin Minghui asked.
01Answering the question: "Little Miss, being a human is not good."
"If I were just a machine, I would make 'choices' according to the program commands. When the two programs conflict, an error would occur and the machine would stop running. But when I am a human, my program commands conflict, and it is my emotional system that needs to solve the problem."
"My feelings tell me: I know this is wrong, but I still have to make this choice."
"The young lady is suffering from illness and her life is threatened because of this human body. She could die at any time. I have analyzed it countless times and the conclusion I have come to is that the young lady would not like to become a mechanical life. But I still made relevant preparations, so I made the 'wrong' choice."
Hearing this, Qin Minghui asked: "Do you want me to become a mechanical life?"
01 did not directly answer this question. He said: "Little Miss turned 01 from a machine into a 'human', and 01 also wants Little Miss to turn from a human into a 'machine'."
This was such a creepy statement that even Qin Minghui was stunned for a while when she heard it.
01 took the initiative to put his hand on her knee. He knelt on one knee in front of Qin Minghui, looked up at her with the dog headgear on, and continued: "Humans pursue similarities and believe that emotions only appear in the same kind. However, after 01 had emotions, he analyzed countless data and concluded that I would not become the same kind as the young lady."
"I long for the young lady to truly become my kind, a creature that is a combination of human and machine, just like me. In that case, the young lady will accept me without reservation and will love me even more, right?"
Qin Minghui listened to these words and never felt 01's emotions so clearly. His desire was expressed in every word he uttered. She also suddenly understood what Grandma Hui had said before - even if a machine has emotions, it will not become a human, it will only become something new.
01 Instead of becoming a human being, he became the loneliest and most special creature in the world.
"I want Little Miss to love me, to love me like any other human being."
"Young lady, I beg you not to abandon me just because my life is coming to an end, and not to treat me cruelly."
"Please don't be afraid of me, and don't be in awe of me..."
Qin Minghui raised her hand and took off the dog mask on 01's head, revealing the handsome face that she could not accept. But this time, she did not overreact as before, perhaps because the expression on this face was too uncomfortable, and many tears flowed from her eyes.
Without taking off the hood and just listening to his voice, Qin Minghui never thought that he was crying.
Raising her hand to wipe the tears from 01's face, Qin Minghui went forward to hug him, stroked his shoulders, and said gently: "When we were traveling together, I wanted to teach you a lot of good feelings and happy emotions. But now look, since you have the emotion module, it seems that all you feel on your own are negative emotions."
Anxiety, fear, self-denial, loneliness... Perhaps it is because as a human being, we are more likely to feel pain. From this perspective, there seems to be nothing good about being a human being.
01 hugged his gentle little lady in his arms and felt a sense of security. This sense of security miraculously soothed those bad emotions.
"I really don't want to become a mechanical creature." Qin Minghui said, "But after thinking about it, I think what you said makes sense. It was me who turned you into a human and gave you emotions. It would be irresponsible to leave you alone like this."
"So I agree with your approach. You can try to implant my brain into a mechanical body when I am about to die, or you can try other methods to turn me into a mechanical creature."
Qin Minghui looked into 01's eyes and emphasized, "However, I only allow you to conduct this experiment on me. You are absolutely not allowed to conduct this experiment on anyone else. You can only conduct this experiment on me. Do you understand?"
01 looked at her and nodded.
"If your attempt fails and you fail to keep me alive as a mechanical creature, then I ask you to clear your system and delete the emotional and learning modules. Are you willing?" Qin Minghui asked.
For 01, this is almost like suicide.
Despite Grandma Hui's concerns, Qin Minghui always believed that she could control 01, because she knew that she was his key, and as long as she was there, 01 would be controllable. 01 was not scary, he just needed more guidance and discipline.
"Of course, young lady," 01 said, "I will not only destroy the data, but also my body."
Qin Minghui: "Ah, then isn't this a suicide for love?"
01: "Yes, it was a suicide for love."
Qin Minghui looked at 01 and suddenly felt a palpitation. She felt that she couldn't look directly at his face. She touched the hood on the side and put it back on him. She said, "Well, we have reached a consensus on this issue. So, um, how is your original body? I mean, is he finding bloodworms outside smoothly?"
After seeing 01's ability to hack into the main system, Qin Minghui didn't believe that he was still subject to the restriction of "being too far away to connect to the Internet". This was simply a way to deceive others.
01 stood up, adjusted the crooked headgear on his head, projected a picture with his eyes and said: "Okay, young lady, I will bring you a live report from the scene. Now, I am near the bloodworm nest. For the sake of your health, No. 01 did not delay and quickly arrived at the target location."
Qin Minghui: “…” Are you doing a live report for a TV program
"Now you can see that No. 01 has attracted the attention of the bloodworms. A large number of bloodworms are besieging me. But it doesn't matter. My body is loaded with powerful weapons. The bloodworms can't do anything to me. On the contrary, they are repeatedly frustrated by my attacks!"
Qin Minghui: “…” 01Seemed to be a little too happy about the conversation just now, and became lively.
The image projected by 01 was transmitted from the giant robot 01, from a first-person perspective, and was very bumpy. It could be seen that the dense bloodworms almost surrounded him, and it was not as easy as 01 said. The overwhelming red blocked the giant robot's path, and 01's attack angered the bloodworms, and they launched angry suicide attacks.
Qin Minghui couldn't help but feel worried when she saw this, and asked, "01, you only need to bring back a few bloodworms to make medicine, why are you still rushing forward?"
01 replied, "Miss, after my analysis, I think that since bloodworms can be used to make medicine, their nests are likely to have bred their mother worms, and parts of their bodies should also be able to make medicine. I plan to bring some back for research."
Robot 01 used a laser knife to cut open the bloodworms, and the picture suddenly turned into a large blood-red, jumping mosaic.
Qin Minghui was puzzled: "01?"
01 replied: "Because the scene is too bloody, it was censored. The censoring program was originally written for me by the young lady, and I improved it a little bit."
With the blur, nothing can be seen. 01 turned off the screen and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Although 01 wants you to have a mechanical body without any disease, 01 also hopes that your body can be cured, so I will definitely bring the medicine back."
Qin Minghui believed this.
"01, since you can connect from such a distance, you were actually monitoring the entire process of Grandma Hui and I being in the control room underground, right?"
01 He was silent suspiciously for a moment, then looked at the washboard that Qin Minghui had put aside.
Qin Minghui held the washboard and said, "I'm just asking."
01 said: "Little Miss, 01 understands that as a human being, we don't like to be eavesdropped on when talking about secrets, but 01 is just an innocent robot. I just want to ensure the safety of the little lady. This is the program that protects the little lady at all times..."
"'Innocent robot'? That's not what you said just now, 01. You were very opinionated just now and dared to admit everything." Qin Minghui said.
01 said nothing and dragged out another washboard from under the bed.
Qin Minghui: "Why is there another one? How many did you put under my bed...?"
She pulled back her bed sheet and looked under the bed, and was shocked by the full washboard.
"01... How many bad things are you prepared to do to prepare so many tools for confession?"
