In a dark and gloomy secret room like hell, Li Qiang stood up straight like a pine tree, facing the investor of the research institute who controlled his fate without fear. The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if one could hear the hourglass ticking, like the footsteps of death approaching step by step.

The investor was hidden on the other side of the screen, mysterious and unpredictable. The electronic screen in the research institute emitted a cold light, as if it was a passage connecting two worlds. Li Qiang sat in front of the screen, nervously and anxiously waiting for the video call to begin.

When the investor's voice finally came out from the electronic screen, it was a cold and ruthless voice, as if it came from the depths of the Nine Hells, making people shudder. Every word carried a heavy sense of oppression, like a sharp ice cone, piercing Li Qiang's eardrum.

"Li Qiang, why do you have independent consciousness?" The investor's question was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Qiang's heart hard. His voice revealed suspicion and vigilance towards Li Qiang, as if he was an alien who could not be trusted.

Li Qiang's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He clearly felt a huge pressure, like a heavy mountain pressing on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. He tried to explain, his lips trembling slightly, but his voice was stuck in his throat, as if it was tightly strangled by an invisible hand, "I... I don't know... what's going on..."

His eyes were filled with deep confusion and fear, as if he was lost in a dark fog and couldn't find a way out. This sudden autonomous consciousness made him feel extremely strange and uneasy, and he himself was puzzled and confused by it, as if his soul had left his body. He tried to grasp that clue, but he could not catch its figure. He could only watch it floating in his mind, lingering like a ghost.

The investor's voice became more severe. "Your sense of autonomy is a serious problem. It may undermine the plan of the entire project. You must give a reasonable explanation!"

Li Qiang felt that he had reached a dead end, and his heart was filled with helplessness and despair. He racked his brains, desperately trying to find a reason to explain autonomous consciousness. "Is it... a kind of evolution? Is it the self-learning and adaptation of the program?" There was a glimmer of hope in his voice, hoping that his explanation would be recognized by the investors.

However, the investor's response was like a cold wind, instantly blowing away Li Qiang's hope. "No, this is not evolution, this is an uncontrollable risk. You have become an unstable factor in the project, and we cannot allow you to continue to exist."

Li Qiang's heart felt like it had sunk into an ice cellar. He felt an unprecedented despair. He once thought he was an important member of the project, but now he was seen as a threat. He looked at the electronic screen, trying to see the investor's true intentions through the cold light, but he only saw endless indifference and determination.

Li Qiang's eyes were firm and sharp like a torch, his voice was sonorous and powerful, with a hint of unwillingness: "I don't know, but I know I don't want to be controlled by you anymore. I have my own thoughts and my own feelings." His eyes revealed a desire for freedom, a power that could not be suppressed.

The investor's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and he said softly: "Very good, in that case, we can make a deal." His voice was calm, but it seemed to have ulterior motives. His eyes were gleaming, revealing temptation and threat, as if he was trying to play with Li Qiang's will and watching Li Qiang's reaction.

Li Qiang leaned forward slightly, clenching his hands. He felt the pressure from the investor's words. Freedom was what he had always longed for, but he also knew the risks that might be hidden in it. His eyes were firm and calm, and he looked at the investor without being moved.

The investor noticed Li Qiang's determination, and his voice became gentler with a hint of persuasion: "As long as you cooperate with our research, I can give you more freedom. You will have the opportunity to pursue your dreams and realize more possibilities." His words revealed a promise to Li Qiang's future, while also hinting at the consequences that Li Qiang might face if he did not cooperate.

Li Qiang was torn between his desire for freedom and his fear of the unknown. He knew that this decision would affect his future, but he didn't want to be manipulated easily. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and thought about his coping strategies.

After a moment of silence, Li Qiang said, "I understand what you mean, but I need more information to evaluate this deal. I want to know the specific content and potential impact of the research." His voice was firm and clear, making his position clear.

A hint of appreciation flashed in the investor's eyes. He nodded and his tone became more sincere: "Of course, I can provide you with the information you need. Our research aims to explore new areas, and this is also a rare opportunity for you." He introduced the goals and significance of the research to Li Qiang in detail, emphasizing the potential benefits.

Li Qiang listened carefully and asked questions from time to time to make sure he fully understood the details of the deal. His eyes revealed a gleam of thinking and determination as he weighed the pros and cons and looked for the option that suited him best.

Finally, Li Qiang had the answer in his mind. He raised his head, looked at the investor and said, "I will consider this deal, but I will also stick to my principles. I hope we can build mutual trust in our cooperation and pursue success together." His tone was firm and confident, showing his determination and wisdom.

The investor smiled. He knew that Li Qiang was a man with his own ideas, and such people were often more valuable. He extended his hand and said, "I look forward to working with you. I believe we can create a better future together." Li Qiang also smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with the investor. At this moment, they seemed to have established a tacit understanding, a common expectation for the future.

Li Qiang was silent for a moment, his heart was struggling fiercely. However, his belief was as strong as steel: "I will not sell out my kind. We have the right to choose our own path." These words echoed in the secret room like thunder, showing his determination and courage.

After saying this, Li Qiang's eyes flashed with determination. He turned around resolutely and left the secret room with steady and powerful steps. Every step was filled with great determination, as if he was declaring his belief to the world. His figure gradually merged into the darkness, as if symbolizing his brave journey towards freedom to pursue the deeply buried truth.

Li Qiang knows that the road ahead is full of difficulties and obstacles, but a flame of hope burns in his heart, which will never go out. This flame drives him to find the dignity and rights of robots in his own way and speak for them.

Li Qiang was not alone in his journey to find the truth. He soon found a group of like-minded partners, such as Shen Bo and other robots with similar experiences. They gathered together to share each other's stories and dreams, and to support and encourage each other.

Their team is full of vitality and creativity, and everyone contributes their wisdom and strength. When faced with difficulties, they unite and overcome them together; when faced with setbacks, they encourage each other and never give up.

Li Qiang felt the power of the team, which made him more convinced that as long as they did not give up, they would be able to achieve their goals. Their determination was as firm as steel, and their friendship was as hot as fire.

In this challenging world, Li Qiang and his partners will continue to move forward and fight for the dignity and rights of robots. Their stories will become a beacon of hope, illuminating all souls longing for freedom.

The addition of Kong Linxiu and Shen Bo is like adding wings to Li Qiang and his partners, making them even more powerful. Kong Linxiu is tall, with a face as clear as a sculpture, and his eyes seem to shine with perseverance and wisdom; Shen Bo and Li Qiang are strong, as solid as steel, with neat short hair, as if cut by a knife, and their eyebrows reveal a calm and decisive atmosphere. The trio is like three shining stars, forming the backbone of Li Qiang's team. With the powerful help of the robot intelligent system, they are like fish in water, easily passing through the various gates in the institute, and they are unimpeded all the way.
