Most Wanted [Interstellar]

Chapter 23

I don't know when, human architecture began to advocate the "iceberg theory". If a building has ten floors on the ground, there may be thirty floors underground.There are many benefits to being underground, at least it perfectly solves the problem of urban noise, and residents in the city center will no longer go to the city hall to complain about the shops that are open all night.

The upper floor of this survey station with [-] floors underground is just a bungalow, so there is nothing to complain about. Schlieffen seems to have forgotten the time because of this, and stayed below until the early morning.

On the way, Ivan went to give him a nutritional supplement, and it saw that he was repairing his mecha.

"It seems that the current driver has a good quality. He has found out all the faults and is starting to repair the engine." Ivan showed a blunt mocking expression on his face, "However, the engine can't be dismantled and put back , at least not all of them." It got Erwin out of the wheelchair, and began to replace the rubber upholstery on the wheelchair.

"Don't be so angry..." Erwin lay on the floor comforting his robot.

"Mr. Herman," Ivan stopped what he was doing and turned his head, "Do you know which company produced the robot?"

"?"

"I am the latest robot developed by General Motors."

"The latest model from 50 years ago," Alvin added, "and then? What's so special about GM?"

"The most special thing about GM is that we have nothing to do with the college federation. All our R&D personnel, design personnel, including sales and after-sales personnel are all from secondary branch institutions. I mean," Yiwen pointed Alvin, "Our staff is different from yours. We all have a lot of emotion. Therefore, the design of our products is not purely rational calculation, but we are more humane. Therefore, even if we are a civilian company, we The products sold by the colleges are better than the direct affiliated companies of the College Federation.”

"I bought you only because GM's products are cheaper, Ivan, hey..." Ivan sighed, "Why didn't I find out that there is such a long section of embedded advertisements in your system before?"

"Mr. Herman, are you stupid?" Ivan put his hands under his armpit as gently as possible, trying to carry him back to the wheelchair, "I mean, I have feelings! Don't you want to hear about someone who has feelings? Do you have any advice from someone you love?"

"It seems that I have to listen..."

Ivan didn't care about his perfunctory, it specially adjusted its voice to a low frequency: "I don't know why you want to return the mech to him!"

"It's not a bad thing to make a desperate man happy."

"Please!" Ivan was so angry that the signal lights turned on, "If he really repairs the mecha, he will leave! Mr. Herman, do you understand what I mean? With a bang, the thrusters ignited, and then he Just sprayed into space and ran away! You don't make excuses! Listen to me! If he didn't want to leave, he wouldn't be so happy to see his mech again, so happy that he couldn't play with it for five hours Come out! He just wants to leave! He just wants to escape from this place!" Ivan finally strengthened his tone, "You are wrong, I want to say, you really did something wrong today!"

"..." Alvin turned his head out of the window.

"It can be seen that you like him very much." Ivan shook his head.

"What?!" Alvin looked at the robot in surprise.

"You like him a lot, but you're not handling it right."

"What's wrong? Is torturing him with death the right way to deal with it?" He didn't like the conclusion.

Evan straightened his clothes and straightened his unconscious body, "You haven't experienced pain for nearly forty hours this time, I hope the interval between pains will become longer...or it's better never Come again." Ivan said slowly, "I'm not human, but I know, Mr. Herman, feelings are all selfish."

"..."

About ten hours later, Schlieffen returned to the ground. He was covered in sweat and his hands were covered with black engine oil.

"I'm so thirsty! Antique, give me a glass of water!"

Ivan brought the water slowly: "You'd better keep your voice down, Mr. Herman is asleep."

Only then did Schlieffen realize that Alvin had fallen asleep.

"Please rest early after drinking water." The attitude of the antique robot was surprisingly cold today. It put water on the table and left.

After seeing the basement, the main control room no longer looks spacious, and it returns to its narrow nature. The dark metal walls make the room look simple, like an abandoned light industrial workshop.Alvin's wheelchair is the only thing here that looks warm, not because of the wheelchair, but because he's on it.Shilieffen simply wiped his hands, picked up the water glass and walked over - the light in the room was very dim, mixed with the starlight outside the window, faintly sprinkled on his face.He just remembered that before this, he hadn't looked at his face carefully - the lines of Asian-Americans are very soft, and the facial features are delicate and unobtrusive, so even though his temperament is calm, he still looks like a teenager.He thought of his eyes, he had actually seen a lot of black eyes, but only his was the most beautiful, as calm as water, unforgettable.

He was tired all day, maybe it was time to go to bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at the moment.Schlieffen dragged a chair and sat down beside him. There was really nothing to do, all he could do was count his breaths.

"Hi……"

He called him in his heart, as if this would wake him up.

"Erwin Herman, do you know? I was experiencing a wonderful thing. On that day, I woke up, and my life suddenly became different from my previous life. I was nervous, I was flustered, and I didn't know what the future was. He Fang, I try to give up everything to avoid disappointment. This is what I have been thinking from the moment the mech woke up until now. So I will guess how you will feel the day you wake up after 50 years of sleep , Do you feel the same as me at this moment?"

Shilieffen stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the hair on his forehead. He wanted to sit here and stay with him until dawn.

At this time, the unaccompanied other "he" was waking up alone in Famagusta.

Is the prototype machine considered "he"?Probably no one has experience in judging this kind of thing.

When he woke up, he was at a loss for the situation around him. Although his mind was filled with a lot of information, he still felt ignorant.

"Hello, you have woken up. Your blood pressure, heartbeat, and breathing are all normal. This is Owen's internal system. Now I will provide you with a survival guide and a brief introduction to the environment."

A display screen rose from his wrist, like those of ordinary citizens.

The simulation staff is smiling at him: "The prototype machine was developed in 6936 in the Gregorian calendar, put into production in 6939 in the Gregorian calendar, and has been in service for 26 years. It belongs to the military switchboard: Owen-shield, number 0. Its body covers biological parts, mechanical parts, Electronic components and connection equipment. Military strategic decision is the main work of the prototype machine."

"What a puzzling commentary."

This sentence was obviously beyond the scope of the simulation staff's answer, and she continued to smile: "The following is a survival guide and a brief introduction to the environment. The planet you are currently on is Famagusta, which is a rocky planet. Gravity It is four times the standard value, there is no running water on the surface, the air humidity index is 76%, the temperature is 36 degrees, the rotation period is 26 hours, and the distance from Titan is 12.9 billion kilometers. Our location is the core area of ​​the old military headquarters... ..."

He interrupted her: "the old military department?"

"In 6968 in the Gregorian calendar, the military headquarters moved to the satellite of Titan -- Taiwei 2," a picture of Taiwei 2 appeared on the display screen, "This is a frozen planet, and the thickness of the ice layer on the surface is about 2 kilometers , the new military headquarters is in the liquid waters under the ice. Compared with rocky planets, the arrangement of military facilities underwater will be more flexible. The last data synchronization was 46 hours ago. This is the military deployment map of Taiwei 2 at that time .”

Because the prototype machine is a branch of the military system, before it is defined as a dangerous device, all military signals can be shared.

He looked at the magnificent world of ice and snow in front of him, and felt a little emotion in his heart. The data in his mind told him that the No. 1 and No. 2 hosts of the Owen-shield series were placed in this sea of ​​ice.

"Through the repair of the medical machine, you now have a complete biological body, you can freely choose to contact the mechanical end, and the nerve connection bolt interface is behind your ear. I need to remind you that electric energy is not your usable energy source, you need to timely Supplement water, sugar, protein, etc. to maintain the state of the body. This kind of energy is divided into the following areas." The display screen released the map of the old military headquarters, and in the military buildings with an area of ​​about 217.6 million square kilometers, all the markings are green Food sources are stocked everywhere.

"The following are brief introductions to travel vehicles, communication equipment, and main control equipment. Please choose, and I will introduce you one by one." A long list appeared on the display screen.

His reason ordered him to click and listen, but he wanted to ask another question.

"Who am I?" he asked.

The smiles of the simulated staff remain unchanged:

"You are Erwin Herman, sir."
