my old robot

Xiao Chenmo stood outside the cave for a long time but did not see the rescuers come out again. He couldn't help stretching his head to look inside, "What's going on? I've been in for a long time, right? I'll go in and have a look."

"Don't go in." Essex pulled him back.

"Just take a look near the entrance of the cave." Xiao Chenmo said.

"Then don't go in, I have a bad instinct."

The word intuition made Xiao Chenmo happy, "Isn't it human beings who say intuition?"

"Robots also have intuition, which we can get directly without electronic brain calculations."

"Well, do you think there will be danger in the cave?"

"I don't know, but I don't want you to go in."

"Okay, then we'll wait outside." Xiao Chenmo found a rock and sat down, "I also have a hunch that it will take a long time, so I'd better sit and wait first."

He just sat down when there was a loud noise in the cave, and he stood up straight in shock.Immediately afterwards, the ground on which he was standing began to tremble, and a crack opened around his feet.

"Essex." Xiao Chenmo took several steps back in shock.

"I'm here." Essex jumped over the crack, reaching out to grab him.

With a bang, the place where Xiao Chenmo was standing sank, and Xiao Chenmo fell down uncontrollably, his hand only had time to brush Essex's fingertips.

It was dark all around, Xiao Chenmo turned on the flashlight of the communicator on his wrist, and the flashlight searched around, it looked like a tunnel dug out manually.Xiao Chenmo shone the light of the flashlight on the top. He obviously fell from above, but there was no gap in the top.Xiao Chenmo propped himself up to sit up, and hurt his calf when he fell, so he barely supported the cave wall to stand firm.

"Essex?" Xiao Chenmo shouted vigorously, there was only his own echo in the cave, and there was no other sound.There was a slight panic in his heart. The communicator in his hand didn't have any signal. He couldn't contact the outside world, and he couldn't know where Essex was, which made him very uneasy.He moved forward on the injured leg, at least finding a place with a signal so that he could call for help.

Xiao Chenmo stared at the communicator in his hand and kept an eye on the signal grid on it, but after walking for a long distance, there was still no signal.His calf was getting more and more painful. He bent over and rolled up his trouser legs. His ankle was already red and swollen. He slid to the ground with his back against the cave wall.This won't work, and no matter how hard he goes, there may not be a signal, but his feet will have problems.Instead of continuing to the unknown place, it is better to wait and see at the original place. It fell there just now. If Essex also fell, it should be near there. If it did not fall, it will definitely be there. Find yourself in that piece.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chenmo began to regret that he walked so thoughtlessly, he turned back and moved back step by step to the place where he came from.After not walking much, a side road unexpectedly appeared in front of him, and he stood in front of the side road in a daze.

When he came here just now, he only stared at the communicator to see if there was a signal on it, but he was also sure that there was no fork in this tunnel, and now a sudden extra fork made him realize that this might not be a real tunnel.The road can be changed at will, and there is no crack at all at the top that fell just now. There is only one possibility for this situation. This is a simulated cave built artificially, and the inner wall may be a metal layer.

Xiao Chenmo took out the mechanical pen that he carried close to his body, and used the hard end of the pen to dig the wall vigorously, and soon a layer of silver metal inside was exposed.Xiao Chenmo turned his head stiffly to look at the two cave entrances. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly. The light of the communicator adjusted to the maximum could only illuminate a limited distance. The slight panic in his heart turned into anxiety. , if there are many forks in this man-made simulated ground and no signal can be received, how can he leave here?

The silver-haired robot in front of the [-]D image monitor sighed, "It's really eccentric, do you feel sorry for him after walking so far?"

The blond robot stroked the familiar face in the three-dimensional image with its fingertips. It frowned as it watched him strenuously support his injured leg and insisted on walking back and forth.

"Human beings are really stubborn creatures sometimes. He obviously finds that the environment he is in is a maze, but he still chooses to return to the original place. Aha~ What an ignorant audacity."

"You have time to talk nonsense here, aren't you going to leave?" The blond robot glanced at it lightly.

"Don't worry, I have been preparing for this day for more than half a year, and thanks to this place is only used for mechanical competitions once a year, otherwise how could I have the opportunity to install such a big thing here? Oh, still I would like to thank the human children who have come here from all directions to compete in the past few days, without them bringing so many robots at once, my plan is really short of manpower."

The blond robot turned off the [-]D image, turned around and walked out.

"Essex, don't wait to see your little lover now."

"Don't worry." Essex left the monitoring room without looking back.

Xiao Chenmo bowed and shrank in the corner of the tunnel. He turned off the flashlight of the communicator in his hand, allowing his eyes to slowly adapt to the darkness.The power of the communicator is limited, and if the remaining power is exhausted, even if there is a signal, he will not be able to receive incoming calls.Sitting on the ground in the dark for a long time, the pain in his legs gradually became numb, from intensive pain at the beginning to bursts of pain, he felt a little cold, and wrapped his hands around himself vigorously.

"Ah."

Someone sneezed, Xiao Chenmo sat up straight suddenly, "Who is it?" He shouted loudly.

"Study, senior?" A boy asked uncertainly in the dark, his voice trembling with surprise, he wandered around this hellish place for a long time without turning out, and finally met someone he knew.

"Is it Chen Feng?" Xiao Chenmo asked.

"It's me, it's me." The other party walked towards Xiao Chenmo in surprise, "Sister, be careful."

"Yeah." Another girl's voice sounded in the darkness.

Xiao Chenmo turned on the flashlight of the communicator, and the light beam cast a long bright line in the darkness. His eyes adapted to the darkness were a little unclear for a while, and he squinted for a while before he saw two people walking in his direction, supporting each other Come.

Those two also stood blocking the light with their hands for a while before slowly walking over, "Senior, why are you here?"

"I fell from the top, hey? Why do you look like this?"

"We've fallen into a mud puddle."

"There are still mud pits here?"

"Yeah, senior sister's communicator is out of power, and mine is almost exhausted. In order to save power, we had to walk in the dark, and ended up falling into a mud pit."

"Why are you walking around when the electricity is gone? It's best to stay where you are and wait for rescue."

"We also wanted to stay where we were, but we were really panicked. The robot that fell with me suddenly went out of order and ran away. I followed it all the way and watched it disappear from sight. I thought about this burrow There will be exits on the left and right, so I can’t bear to sit and wait.”

Xiao Chenmo simply didn't know what to say about this person. He looked at the girl whose face was covered in mud and couldn't tell her true face, "What about you? He is impetuous and the whole tunnel is running around, and you follow him?"

"Senior, it's pitch dark here. He's going to find his own robot, but I can't stop him. I'm even more afraid of staying where I am alone. I might as well go with him."

These words really made some sense, Xiao Chen was speechless for a while.

"Then how did you fall into the mud pit? Can there still be mud pits here?"

"Is it weird that there are mud puddles here?"

"Of course it's strange. This is an artificial tunnel made of metal. It's already a lot of trouble to make the outer layer of simulated rock formation. And then set up mud pits in the metal layer. Does the competition team have enough money to do this?"

At first, Xiao Chenmo thought that this tunnel was left by Huo Chengyu and his family when they were mining, but he changed his mind when he dug out metal from the wall. This should be an underground labyrinth built by the competition team, and it may also be used for The mechanical competition is used as a venue for competitions, but it has not yet been opened, and even the signal cannot be received.

"It's not a man-made tunnel. We doubted it when we couldn't get out at first. I also cut a large rock formation with a mechanical pen."

"The area you cut may be a real rock formation, but here is an artificial tunnel made of metal, you can dig it out again."

The boy took out his mechanical pen and planed fiercely at the wall of the cave, removing the outermost simulated soil layer, which turned out to be a metal inner wall.

"Why? Is this cave half real rock? Half metal?"

"Probably so. The question now is how we can contact the outside world. Can you go back to the place where you call me? Maybe there is only a place where there is a signal to contact the outside world."

"It's useless, we have tried many times there, but only your communication can be connected, senior."

Xiao Chenmo thought about it, maybe he was standing on top of these two people at that time, so the signal was received, but no matter what, he had to give it a try.

"Let's try it, maybe if we are lucky, we can receive the signal again?"

"Okay." The boy led the way and walked ahead.

Xiao Chenmo adjusted the light of the communication flashlight to the weakest, so that at least part of the electricity could be saved. Every time the boy came to a fork in the road, he would carefully identify the number he made at the fork, and when he reached the third fork, he stopped. up.

"Why are the signs at the two intersections the same?"

"Could it be that you forgot to mark the two intersections with the same symbol?" the girl asked.

"How come? I'm not so confused. You and I came all the way, and you know that I will turn on the flashlight every time I come to a fork and then mark it carefully."

"But this fork is obviously two identical signs, which side should we go now?" The girl's voice was filled with tears, "If we can't get out, we will run out of food."

"Don't worry, the rescuers from the competition team are already looking for you, and I guess it won't be long before I can get out." Xiao Chenmo said comforting words, but his heart was also uncertain, since he watched the rescuers enter the cave , It has been a long time since he himself fell here. If the rescue spiders can successfully find them in the cave, it will definitely not take so long. I am afraid that they will be trapped in this maze together with the rescuers. Same hole again.

Although Xiao Chenmo was very uncertain in his heart, those two people suddenly felt much better.

"Are the rescuers already looking for us? We should be able to get out soon, right?"

"Probably." Xiao Chenmo said, "It's better to see which way to go first."

The boy looked helpless, "I think the road here is mechanically operated and can be changed at will, so the two forks with the same markings will be combined together. In this way, it will be very difficult for us to turn around in this mechanical tunnel." Turn it out, it's alive at all."

Yes, it is a living tunnel that can be changed and assembled at any time.

"But it can only be assembled at random. The place we dug at the beginning is obviously a real rock formation, so it is impossible to assemble it at will?" the girl said.

That's right, Xiao Chenmo suddenly realized that no matter how the mechanical tunnel can be assembled to change the intersection, as long as it reaches the part of the real rock formation, it is impossible for this to happen.And the location where these two people had a signal to communicate with him was also in that area.

"Let's go to the side of the real cave. We try every road, and we can always find it." Xiao Chenmo said.

"Okay." The boy once again marked the intersection he chose to go with different marks.

Essex kept an eye on Xiao Chenmo's movements at all times. He clicked on the map inside the airship, and the little red dot representing Xiao Chenmo's position was approaching step by step the connection between the exit of the airship and the outer cave.It dialed the deep sea video, "They are about to get out of the airship."

A deep laugh came from the deep sea in the video, "Don't worry, they won't be able to get out."

The airship buried in the ground is not very big. Part of the airship is disguised as an underground cave, and an exit is opened to connect to the real cave in the outer rock formation. Humans who fall into the airship will wander around in the mechanically camouflaged cave for a while, good luck Then it turned to the real cave in the outer layer, just like those two humans.But no matter how much you turn around, you will turn back to the inside of the airship. This is specially reserved by the deep sea to confuse the humans who fell into it. Watching them circle around like headless chickens in it, from panic and then a little bit to fear, makes it It was so much fun.Those young human beings were probably ignorant and fearless. They were trapped in the tunnel all night without realizing that they were in danger. But the two rescuers were much more interesting. They were panicked after walking around in the tunnel. Almost lost my mind.It really loves the feeling of teasing humans, but it's a pity that it will leave here soon.

Xiao Chenmo and the others wandered through the tunnel for a long time, and a new fork in the road appeared in front of him. He took out a mechanical pen to make a mark while walking, but before he got to the side, he watched the intersection with a kind of The strange arc closed silently.
