I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

What's more, occupying most of the number in the room are those robots that are intact, but the charging pile next to them is no longer lit.

Lu Yi checked with [True Vision], these robots are simply out of battery, if they can be charged, they can probably still move.

It seems that this future city should have been connected to a nearby power plant. Most of the electricity still relies on external supply, and solar energy can only last for a while.

Moreover, the solar panels of these buildings may have been damaged due to the wind and sand all year round, and not all of them are working well.

Presumably after a while, all the robots here will gradually lose their energy and stop functioning.

"Everyone is asleep."

From behind Lu Jian, a voice suddenly sounded, making him turn his head back.

The robot girl Lin is standing next to a robot that can never be turned on, looking at the robot.

"He used to be the best chef in the noodle shop. The beef ramen he made was very popular, and even the subsequent models could not surpass it. In the three years in the future city, he made a total of 49 bowls of noodles. The last one to eat The guest he met was a boy who lived in room a97-6, and he always ordered more spicy food, and he said that the taste of this side was exactly the same as that of his hometown."

Lin took a few steps towards Lu Jian, and then looked at another robot beside him.

"This is a musician. He used to work in music education for children, and was sold here to continue playing. Every day at nine o'clock, he would play the piano in the square of the commercial street, and many residents would gather around him. They say playing can soothe the soul, I'm a robot, I don't have a heart, I don't know what kind of feeling it is, but I think they must be very happy when they hear the music."

"This is the doctor of the future city. During his time in charge, the disease rate of the future city has dropped"

"This is a gardener, he will trim all the plants and trees in the future city on time at five o'clock every morning"

"This is responsible for maintenance. Every robot that fails will be sent to him. During that time, the failure rate of the robots in the future city is"

She introduced these robots to Lu Yi, one by one, not only the origin, model, but also what they did.

It was as if, those were not cold robots, but fresh lives.

Lin's expression when she said these things, Lu Jian didn't know whether it could be called nostalgia.

Lu Juan suddenly remembered what Feng Yu mentioned before. In some foreign lands, human beings abandoned their flesh and blood and chose to ascend together with machines. If this is not a wasteland but another foreign land, Lu Juan may wonder if this place is polluted. , causing the entire city to turn into robots.

"Although they are all in a deep sleep now because of the lack of battery, as long as it returns to normal, this place will become the same as before."

Lin said quite firmly.

"You have come, and the others will surely return soon."

She looked at Lu Jian and smiled.

""

Lu Jian didn't know whether to tell the robot that the person she was waiting for had been gone for hundreds of years, the world had been destroyed, and there was no going back to the past.

In the days when civilization was annihilated and human beings passed away, these robots worked according to the original settings, day after day, year after year, until the power was exhausted.

"Every year at the end of the year, all the robots will gather together and light a huge bonfire in the commercial street to celebrate the residents. It is the happiest day of the year. According to my time, the end of the year will be two days away. Together we can light the bonfire again."

Lin said again.

"Ah."

Lu Bian nodded.

"Actually, I lied to you before. You are not the 660th person who visited here, to be precise, you are the 630th, but since no one else has come here for a long time, I judge that in the future The city and the ecological park are no longer welcome, so, as a rare guest, I lied to you without authorization."

Lin was a little sorry and bowed her head to Lu trip.

"It's okay, you've done a good job, it's not your fault that no one is here."

Lu Bian replied.

"I have tried to send a message to the service provider, but there has been no response. Due to the setting, I can't leave here. I would like to ask you, whether the service provider of the future city has stopped the service, or what caused the communication to fail? fail?"

The robot girl tilted her head again and asked.

Her voice is very clear, like a stream flowing in an ecological garden.

"Maybe, we haven't touched it either."

Lu Jian said in a deep voice, paused, and asked.

"If, I mean, if, I told you, the world is dead, and everyone you ever knew is dead, they were gone hundreds of years ago, what would you think?"

Hearing Lu Jian's words, Lin tilted her head, as if she didn't quite understand.

"Sorry, this situation is not in my response manual, and my firmware may need to be upgraded, but unfortunately, I cannot contact the service provider to upgrade."

Saying that, Lynn smiled again.

"Also, didn't you come here with your companions?"

Lu Jian was silent.

"Guest, the special performance is about to start. If you are interested, please go to the ecological park to watch it."

Lin invited again.

===492. Cradle===

Back in the ecological park, Lu Juan saw Shuang Xin and the others sitting on the lawn.

Although it is an artificial plant, for them who have hardly seen real plants, this is already "real" vegetation.

Lin stood in the center of the ecological garden, surrounded by those mechanical animals, like a forest goddess descending to the world.

In this barren world, she is like an independent fairy, traveling through time.

Lu Jian also sat next to Shuangxin. The dome of the ecological park is a huge screen, reflecting the starlight. For thousands of years, perhaps only these things have remained unchanged.

The surroundings suddenly dimmed, accompanied by Lin's voice.

"Everyone, next is the special program "The Cradle" of the ecological park, and I will present it to you."

Her voice was endowed with more emotion, presumably a lot of fine-tuning was made for this program at that time, the emotions of shyness, anticipation, and longing echoed under the dome along with the voice of the robot girl.

"Please see."

Lin pointed to the sky, and the stars on the screen were shining brightly, which made people feel nostalgic and melancholy.

"In the long past, when the universe was born and the galaxies were still in chaos, in this small corner of the starry sky, a planet was being born."

The angle of view of the dome is zoomed in, passing through the brilliant and magnificent stars, and the lens is frozen on a fiery crimson planet that has not yet cooled down.

"This was just an inconspicuous one among the billions of planets in the universe at that time. With the cooling of the star, the land was formed, and the elements reacted under the sunlight, condensing the first water droplets."

Seeing this, Lu Yi already roughly knew the content of the show.

Just like those popular science videos in science and technology museums, it tells the history of this planet from its appearance to the present.

He glanced at Shuang Xin. The researcher's eyes were full of brilliance. To her, this was a history of this foreign land that she had never understood.

And the protagonist at this moment is undoubtedly the robot girl standing in the center of the ecological park.

"In the original sea, thunder and lightning, the substances carried by meteorites, and the inorganic substances floating in the sea finally gave rise to a wonderful reaction after thousands of thunderstorms, forming organic substances. I don't know how long it took these organic substances. Finally gathered to become the first life, from then on, this planet is no longer silent."

The picture of the dome changed, and Lu Jian found that the surrounding vegetation had also turned into things like seaweed. They felt like they were in the sea, experiencing the environment of this planet hundreds of millions of years ago.

"The paleontology that we are familiar with or unfamiliar has since then appeared in full bloom. For life, even this wide sea is not enough to support their prosperity. Therefore, the first life that left the water and entered the land appeared."

Stumbling forward footprints on the sand.

Spreading its wings in the sun.

The cold blood, the behemoths that dominate the land and the climate change caused by natural disasters, the history of extinction and rebirth repeats itself.

Among them, the little creatures hiding between the rubble and the caves grow and develop.

The hands stretched out to reach the fruit on the branch and the legs gradually strengthened.

The surrounding scenery changed to a prairie.

"The ancestors of human beings were born in this way. They hunted and lived together on the grassland, step by step towards the future."

Lu Lian is not very familiar with the next development. The human history here is different from what he knows.

But the gist is the same.

War, progress, and barbarism trample on civilization, and civilization tolerates barbarism, ideological emancipation, technological development, greater wars and natural disasters.

The history of hatred repeats itself, and the lessons humans learn from history are the lessons humans can never learn from history.

Of course, along with development, peace, cooperation, and win-win have also become the mainstream.

What finally appeared in front of Lu Yi, Shuang Xin and the others was a brightly lit city.

"This is the future city, a city built for the future. Although the living conditions are not so good, we still provide you with green plants, blue sky, and clear water as much as possible. According to the designer's intention, this This city can continue to operate for 600 years without relying on external energy sources, and as a pilot, it will provide data and samples for future space travel.”

"People who work here will also seek breakthroughs and solve the status quo in research in biology, aerospace, energy, materials, etc."

Lynn said like these things were bound to happen.

"Although there are still many problems in the world, I believe that relying on human efforts, these problems can always be solved and lead people into a new era."

"I'm just a robot. I don't know what the future is like that is not shown in the database, but I have a good memory. I believe that just like in the evolution of hundreds of millions of years, creatures have suffered hardships and extinctions, and finally regained Like newborns, no matter what kind of suffering human beings suffer, they will eventually get out of the predicament and usher in a new future."

"I will remember it all, imprint it in the database, and never forget it."

"At that time, please remember that no matter how far humans have traveled, this place is still everyone's eternal home and the eternal cradle of life."

The narration of the robot girl is like the bedside stories told by the mother in childhood, full of hope and without the slightest haze.

Maybe it is a robot without emotion that can still insist on such an idea under such circumstances.

Lu Jian knows that this special program may be made to encourage the people who live here.

Perhaps when the future city was built, something was wrong with this foreign land. The environment was damaged, crystallized diseases spread, and the living space of human beings became narrow. They could only hope to save themselves by leaving this planet.

It's a pity that they failed. Humanity has entered the countdown to destruction, and the entire planet has been reduced to a desert. Only a few people are left alive, and those people have long forgotten the history and are struggling in the raging swarm.

Here is like a street frozen in time, everything is frozen before destruction.

Only the solar panels that are getting damaged day by day, and the robots that cannot move due to lack of power, slowly advance time.

All four were silent.

Shuang Xin and the others were shocked by the glorious and magnificent history of the past. They never thought that this world was once so prosperous, and compared with the current desolation, it seems even more cruel.

Lu Jian, on the other hand, noticed something else.

In the image of the future city, there is an industrial park not far from here.
