Artificial Wizard Growth Log

When xd1009 woke up from the darkness, he had no idea where he was.

The information transmitted from various sensory organs to the brain was delayed by one and a half seconds than usual, and after one and one half seconds, the boy lying flat on the alloy plate opened his eyes.

The double pupils shimmered green in the dark, and the low-light vision gene artificially inserted in the genetic sequence began to function. The dilated pupils searched for the weak light as much as possible. After a while, xd1009 determined that he was still in the research institute.

But why is there no light on?

[Start to search the memory bank]

When he completed this series of activities in his mind, xd1009 kept lying on the alloy plate, and there was no difference from before waking up except for his eyes being opened.If it wasn't for the contact with the alloy plate, the alloy plate would also have a temperature equivalent to body temperature, and the young man's eyes looking straight ahead with his palms facing forward would be like a corpse waiting to be dissected.

The alloy plate dissipates heat quickly, and to have the current temperature, he should have been lying on it for a long time.

Judging rigorously, xd1009 found the reason why he appeared here in his memory.

He had a physical conflict with xd1001, which was specifically described as beating by xd1001. He was beaten and the state lasted for 1 minute. The assistants of his research institute separated the two. At this time, he was almost unconscious.

In the shadows, there are people talking.

"Does this need to be fixed?"

"Now it's planned...to take away...this experimental product, let's destroy it."

……destroy.

After highlighting these two words, xd1009 turned over and sat up from the alloy plate.

The feeling of the skin on his back suddenly coming into contact with the air made him feel some goosebumps. After judging it as a normal physiological reaction, xd1009 ignored them, and also ignored himself in the naked state.

If it is destroyed, then this is the incineration chamber.

xd1009 turned his head, and the incinerator, the symbol of the incineration room, stands quietly like a huge monster. The monster's big mouth——the furnace door is closed, judging from the indoor temperature, the flame in the furnace has also been extinguished, and the alloy he is sitting on The board was placed on the conveyor belt going in and out of the incinerator, and it was obvious that if the incinerator hadn't been shut down, he would have been reduced to a black and gray pile of inorganic matter by now.

xd1009 didn't lament the rest of his life like a normal person, he was wondering.

The order cannot be violated, he should be destroyed.

Why is he still alive?

Has anyone else in a higher position revoked the destroy order?

I don't know the cause and effect, according to the principle, he should wait for the next order in place.

but……

...he was hungry.

The stomach pouch was empty, and the stomach wall was squirming together, and the body sent a signal to indicate the need for food. Xd1009, who felt hungry for the first time, was stunned for a few minutes, and found that he had no idea what to do.

According to the usual practice, food will be delivered every day at seven o'clock, twelve o'clock, seventeen o'clock, and 21 o'clock. Although he is the most worthless test subject in the research institute, his life is alive until he is destroyed. Guaranteed by the institute system.

xd1009 thought blankly.

where is the foodWhat actions does he have to take to obtain it successfully?

Search memory, no results.

Search database, no results.

"..."

After sitting on the alloy plate for half an hour, xd1009 tried it out and stepped on the ground.

The android boy successfully stood firmly on the ground.

Although a series of [Action Purpose: Unknown] [Action Result: Unknown] [Action Plan: None] [Not recommended to take action] [Not recommended to take action] [Not recommended to take action] words, but like hundreds of Just like human beings looking for food for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, according to the instinct engraved in the genes, he took steps to push open the door of the incinerator and walked out.

The corridor outside the incinerator is also dark, only the green emergency passage lights at the corner are on, reflecting the alloy wall, as if there are demonic beings swaying the branches and leaves.

xd1009 searched for food all the way, and could not hear human voices other than him.

Even xd1009 breathed lightly and stepped silently as part of the institute's training, and occasionally he couldn't even hear his own voice.

If a normal person were here, he might be driven crazy by the boundless silence at this moment, but xd1009 didn't feel anything.

He quickly found two familiar areas, the garbage area where the incinerator was located and the experimental area where the test subjects lived, so as he expected, he didn't find even a little bit of food in these two areas. thing.

xd1009 looked at the door leading to the office area.

This door is closed, and darkness pours out and blends from that gap.

Since it was expected from the beginning that there would be no food here, he should go directly to the office area, xd1009 thought.

But if you don't look for the garbage area and the experimental area, it doesn't conform to the general operation process.

He didn't know that he frowned, the small human emotions added a ray of nature to the disobedient atmosphere of the artificial man.

...things that already belonged to the past and didn't need to be thought about.

The boy walked into the office area without hesitation.

A door separates two worlds.

The young man who had never entered the office area before did not hesitate, but his eyes were caught by something.

Numerous translucent panels divide the hall in front of you into more than 30 square cubicles. Xd1009 glanced at the notes with different writings on the partitions, cups of various colors, large and small, and every On the table are green radishes, cacti, or hand-made trinkets with different personalities.

xd1009 stopped.

Every cubicle is similar, same desk, same computer, same swivel chair.

Every cubicle is different, not just in the trinkets that don't seem to be useful for work, and not just in the way files are placed next to the computer.

This space is filled with the breath of the living

The world in front of him is fundamentally different from the world xd1009 perceives. What is the specific difference? With his shallow knowledge, he can't understand it at all. The only conclusion he can draw is "live".

The rumble of the abdomen broke his hesitation towards the strange smell, xd1009 stepped into the cubicle closest to him, and after finding nothing on the desktop, he pulled out the drawer, and a burst of sweet smell was exposed in the air with his movements.

xd1009 instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He took out the lump wrapped in tinfoil in the drawer as if facing a bomb—with a cautious attitude that he didn’t realize at all—resisting the urge to take a bite, and carefully read the tinfoil Ant-sized words.

The first line is: Dove, on a rainy day, chocolate and concerts are more suitable.

...Unable to judge the logic of this statement, xd1009 glanced directly at this statement and looked at the table below.

Ingredient list: cocoa powder, cocoa butter, lecithin, milk, trace nut ingredients, white sugar, spices.

food.

The brain has not read this conclusion in its entirety, the boy has already torn off the tin foil, biting into the hard black long object inside.

The hard lump melted in the mouth, xd1009 was stunned.

Is there such a delicious thing in the world?

Hunger has suppressed the insignificant doubts and joys, a pack of chocolates is not that big, xd1009 can eat it in two or three bites.

The sweet food stimulated the taste buds, and the stomach and intestines became active along with it. I could feel the rapid replenishment of physical strength and the secretion of a large amount of saliva in the young man's mouth, telling him that this food was not enough to fill him up.

But there was no second bag of chocolates in the drawer.

Just as he was going to look for this delicious food in another cubicle, xd1009 suddenly heard the sound of people talking behind the door leading to this hall from the other side.

Conversations were faint, but clear because of the silence around them.

"...Mr. Li, please be careful where you step."

Retrieve the memory and compare the sound sources to get the result. The person who spoke is the security captain responsible for the security of the research institute.

The other person's voice does not have the same or similar source in memory.

stranger.

Mr. Li, who was addressed respectfully, said, "The evacuation is very clean."

"I didn't expect Dr. Hopkins to make such a decision when he heard the government's decision to terminate the project," the security captain said in a regretful tone. "Without the funds and resources supported by the government, there is no way for the artificial guide project to continue, even if it is Where can I escape with the helper's information and test items?"

"The universe is so big, it's easy to find a place to hide." Mr. Li said so.

They didn't know that just across the door, there was an artificial human experiment with wide green eyes upon hearing this.

What does it mean to terminate the program...?

Is it the man-made guide program?

xd1009 knew that he was a test subject, and never felt that there was anything wrong with this fact.

The artificial guide project is a long-term research project secretly carried out by the government at the end of the seven-year human-worm war, and xd1009 is the first generation product of this project.

The purpose of the planned research is to produce guides with the physical qualities of Sentinels.

This is practically impossible to achieve.

What is the fundamental difference between a sentinel and a guide?

Introverted or extroverted in the spiritual field.

The introverted spiritual domain includes only the sentinel body. They can make the five senses more sensitive by manipulating the spiritual domain, and liberate muscles to enhance muscle strength, agility, jumping ability, etc., while the outward mental domain cannot directly interfere with the body, but Like the sixth sense, it can feel things that other people's five senses can't detect.

In simple terms, one with big muscles and one with big brains in different evolutionary directions.

Joining the army once belonged to sentinels, but in the late period of the last human-worm war, the role of guides began to be discovered. The problem is that weak guides are simply not able to adapt to war under harsh conditions.

And considering the fact that most of the federation's star field was occupied by Zerg at that time, there were almost no war conditions that were not bad.

The government believes that they may be able to enhance the physical fitness of the guides by some special means.

The artificial guide project is just one of the various research projects on guides initiated at the same time, but the research institute and its director, Dr. Peter Hopkins, spent nearly 20 years to obtain There are no more than two surviving test subjects.

One is xd1001, which has successfully awakened as a guide, and the other is xd1009, which has not yet awakened.

More and more funds are needed, but no decent results can be produced. It is a matter of course that the artificial guide project will be cut in half by the government department.

Most of the above information is not known to xd1009, the android boy only knows that the meaning of his existence is only for the sole purpose of the success of the artificial guide project.

He slowly sorted out the information he had just heard one by one in his brain.

Plan failed.

The Doctor and other Institute personnel have escaped.

... xd1001, as a successful test product, should have been taken away.

He should have been destroyed, although I don't know why it wasn't... Most of the facilities in the research institute lost energy supply, and 80.00% of the reasons why he wasn't destroyed were due to insufficient energy in the incinerator.

A surprise no one knew about.

No one knows, this adjective made xd1009 jump up inexplicably.

After a moment he raised his head to leave the hall, but a light hit him.

The voice belonging to Mr. Li asked, "Who's there?"
