Hao Ren has always been curious about the "survivor society" that lives on the Zenith space station and the lunar base, but he has never been able to have direct contact with the latter, and his knowledge of that society can only be based on Nolan's limited observational data, and this level of understanding is obviously far from enough.N-6's arrival brought him a huge surprise, but before he could ask N-6 about the situation in the heavenly society, another "intelligence source" took the initiative to send it to the door.N-4 claims to know a lot about Zenith and Lunar Base, and more than N-6 does, due to her long service time, which does not give her more general privileges than N-6, but allows her to know more about survivor society.However, before telling this information, she also wanted to know what the origin of Hao Ren's group of "space visitors" of unknown origin was.Trust is based on the mutual sincerity of both parties - even if all Hao Ren wants to know is the most basic information about the Zenith and the lunar base, and what he can understand at a glance by flying over there in a spaceship, he will have to exchange them with equal bargaining chips."
We're from outside of your galaxy - I mean your entire star system," Hao Ren felt that he had nothing to hide, because his origin did not mean much to an indigenous inhabitant who had never left his own planetary system, and the nobles of the kingdom or the pawns of the peddlers thousands of light-years away were just a distant story for N-4, not to mention the distance of a world in between, "It was a complete accident to come to your planet, we came to this galaxy in search of a ......
Very, very old stuff, but after entering the galaxy we crashed into a space disaster, and the ship had to make an emergency landing on this planet if it was severely damaged. ”"We have found traces of civilized civilization on this planet, so we have a lot of curiosity," Vivian took Hao Ren's words, followed Hao Ren to the north and south over the years, she now also has a good understanding of Hao Ren's "work process" and "professional vocabulary", and is fully capable of acting as a qualified censor spokesperson, "We travel in space all year round, deal with all kinds of civilizations or civilization relics, observe and record the civilization ecology, or collect and preserve civilization relics, this is one of our main jobs, So during the time that the planet was stranded and repaired the spaceship, we began to study the native civilization here. ”"Observe the ecology of civilization and collect the relics of civilization?"
As a high-level artificial intelligence, N-4 has a lot of feelings, so it is natural to express surprise at this time, "Is there still such a profession?"
”Lily immediately popped out with a red face: "You always know who collects the corpse, right?"
That's what our landlord does, except that he's not dealing with dead people, it's dead civilization!
”When she said this, her eyes lit up, her ears stood up, and her tail wagged vigorously behind her, as if it was a great honor, but Hao Ren covered half of her face next to her: "I obviously remember that it wasn't said in the workbook, and the examiner didn't do this......"
The data terminal next to him gently bumped his head: "Partner wants to open a little, mainly you haven't done anything else in the past two years......"
But in any case, Lily's simple and crude explanation method is the most effective, N-6 and N-4 immediately felt that Hao Ren's job was quite understandable - there were also special recovery units among the Substitutes, who could occasionally bring back wounded and incapacitated soldiers from the battlefield, but more often than not, they were to recover some valuable wreckage, such as chips that recorded first-hand battlefield data: in the war against the Planet Devourers, there were far more wreckage than wounded."
So obviously, we are pacifists," Hao Ren said to N-4, "and protecting the fruits of civilization is what we are good at." ”N-4 observes the man in front of her, trying to determine the chance of the other person lying by detecting the other person's facial expression changes, eye movements, heartbeat, body temperature, and other parameters, although she has not been in contact with real humans, all surrogates know about the physiological parameters of humans.But it soon occurred to her that maybe she couldn't judge the "person" in front of her by those rigid parameters—because this was a space visitor who looked a lot like a human, but God knows what he looked like when he lied."
I'd like to believe you," N-4 thought for a moment and asked a question, "but I've seen you draw the image of the predator as a totem on the ship's armor, and I think it's a way of self-expression for a militant people - if there's anything wrong with my perception, please explain." ”Hao Ren was stunned for a long time before he realized what the "predator" in the other party's mouth was......
Isn't that Lily's headshot!
Nangong Sanba and Nangong May, who were standing behind, laughed out loud on the spot, even little Elizabeth couldn't help but "poof" out, Lily was furious when she heard this, and jumped to her feet to maintain her racial majesty: "What are you laughing at!"
Isn't my transformed appearance mighty?
Hey, everyone aliens can see at a glance how powerful my avatar is, okay!
You ...... with a problem with your aesthetics" Hao Ren couldn't help laughing: "Ahem, I think everyone's aesthetics are fine, you are actually quite ...... after you become a husky Cute, but we really can't see your might. ”If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, Lily would have gnawed on Hao Ren's head with a bite."
Your reaction......
Is there really something wrong with my cognition?
”N-4 watched the group move in confusion."
The predator you are talking about......"
Hao Ren laughed and dragged the sulking husky over with Lily, pointing to the ears on the latter's head, "Actually, it's her, it's not a war totem at all, it's a decorative painting of a spaceship, this guy made me paint it." ”N-4 tilted her head - as an artificial intelligence, she made an almost human-like gesture that was almost beyond her sensibility to express her doubts: "I don't think there's anything wrong with my optical observation module, she looks ......"
"She has another appearance," Hao Ren patted the back of Lily's head, and the husky girl instantly withdrew her ears as if she had been pressed a switch, and even her hair was like short black hair when she was in human form, Hao Ren slapped again, So her ears and hair popped out again, and the whole process was very tacit, and she couldn't tell that this husky was still sulking just now, "She can change her form, you see two forms, and she has a third form, which is the predator in your mouth."
As you can tell, her ears are the same as those of the creature you see on the ship. ”"It's not just her, most of us have more than one form," Itzhax said in a sullen voice, his face covered with red lines like flowing lava, and his skin showing faint signs of lithification, "Shapeshifting is our basic ability. ”N-4 felt that her logic circuits had been running at a high speed that had not been experienced since the factory in just a few hours, and she opened her mouth, and finally her eyes fell on Lily, "It's beyond my knowledge......
I didn't expect that there would be such a miraculous life in the universe.I saw the creature on the ship with its majestic eyes and sharp fangs, and thought it was a dangerous predator, but she was embarrassed to say ......" the second half of the sentence, because she wanted to say that Lily's current stunned appearance was really a bit ......
Stupid.Hao Ren scratched his nose and snorted awkwardly, saying that the serious eyes of the husky were ......
Well, huskies do have serious eyes, and anyone who has ever raised this creature knows that every time they have a sharp eye, it usually means that they have a very sharp idea at the same time, and this can be said to Lily."
I think we've cleared up the misunderstanding between the two sides now," Hao Ren spread his hands, "You've got what you want to know, and now I'd like to ask what I want to know - can I ask you an additional question before explaining the intelligence blockade that took place in the Zenith?"
”N-4 nodded, "Excuse me." ”"I found out that all of the operatives you brought with me are just like you......
Robots," Hao Ren looked curious, "why didn't you see a human appear?"
Are there no humans left in your sanctuaries?
”It was an idea that popped up after seeing the members of the N-4 team, and although it was a bit bizarre, after a few years of exploring the dream plane, he was no longer surprised by this situation.After all, he had witnessed a world of the Ark that was still functioning after the extinction of humanity.And there is another saying - if you don't have some brain supplemental ability, you are embarrassed to be a censor?
Although according to the pictures on the reliefs at the beginning, the human beings of this planet successfully launched an escape spacecraft, and now all kinds of signs also prove that the escape spacecraft was not destroyed by the eldest son, but hung in the sky well, and even the people in the spaceship successfully established a base on the moon, but no one dares to guarantee that there are no other accidents in this process, maybe the human race will be extinct in the process?
Looking at N-4 and N-6 in front of them, these near-human-like AIs also seem more than capable of maintaining the space station and lunar base - after the extinction of their human creator.However, in the face of Hao Ren's question, N-4 immediately shook his head and denied it: "No, human beings are not extinct and will not be extinct, they live in the lunar base, in the safest 'fortress'. ”"Fortress?"
Hao Ren repeated the word and looked at N-6 on the other side.The other robot girl nodded and said in the same unquestioning tone, "Humanity is not extinct and will not be extinct.The fortress is the most powerful and sturdy fortress of the lunar base, where humans moved there thousands of years ago, and the Titanium Guard and Mastermind protect the place.However, due to the fact that the surface of the home planet is occupied by the Planet Devourers, humans will trigger violent attacks whenever they get close to the home planet, so they can only live in the fortress and cannot participate in any actions close to the home planet. ”
