Robot acting

In 2149, mankind has finally entered the era of high technology.

Indispensable robots in life have gradually become intelligent and even emotional.

Oval is one of them.

As an already extremely intelligent robot, it is about to undergo the greatest refinement of a robot - implanting the highest intelligent upgrade chip.

The only function of this kind of chip is to let the robots with emotions but not self-feeling experience the emotions like human beings.

Although when the robot's intelligence brain develops to a certain level, it will automatically change, but such examples are very rare, and there is instability that humans are afraid of, so the Federation makes those robots whose intelligence brain has reached the extreme accept the new one uniformly. Chip implantation for easy control.

...will I...have emotions too...

Owa stared blankly at the huge mechanical arm stretching out to it. Before it got the emotion, it didn't understand the emotion called "uneasy".

The room was still cold and silent, and the sound of water droplets from the next door penetrated the non-sound-proof wall, knocking rhythmically on the ground.

This is the world of Owa who has not yet gained emotion.

It was full of metal and coldness, and there seemed to be a smell of decay in the air. Its electronic eyes turned around twice, and continued to stand there without moving.

I'm...just a robot.

"Crack...ZiZi...Zi...Crack..."

Accidents always happen when there is silence, and countless weird sounds staggered without warning.

The huge black hole began to spread endlessly, mixing electric current, dust, and endless molecules. The air hummed, and the frequency of the vibration began to increase. Owa's emergency response center told it to cut off the power to the mechanical arm immediately.

But Ouwa suddenly found himself unable to move, and the red alarm bombarded the room over and over again.

For the robots of 2149, it was an unforeseen disaster.

Not everyone is willing to live with robots. The anti-machine humans finally succeeded in destroying the robot operating terminals. Hundreds of millions of robots began to collapse. roll.

Owa kept its robotic eyes wide open, and thousands of companions around him were dying. However, Owa, who has not been implanted with an emotional chip, cannot understand "fear", even though it understands the meaning of these two.

At that moment, the only thing it was certain of was.

I... am about to die...

"Owa! Owa! That's a space-time black hole, you go!"

At that moment, a familiar and hurried voice came through the silent passage.

Ouwa heard his friend Kona shouting its name desperately, the opponent's mechanical body was rapidly disintegrating, and the pair of electronic eyes, which were indistinguishable from human beings, had shed their fake coats and turned into a prototype of a machine, but Ouwa still listened. When he arrived in Kona, he shouted at him: "Go! Go! This is the only way to survive!"

That is a space-time black hole that only appears with a very small probability when the current is violent.

And Ouwa is less than half a meter away from the space-time black hole at this moment, perhaps, there is a plan somewhere.

"Go! Ova! Go!"

Owa only had time to piece together a few words, "You too... quickly..."

"No... it's too late, you go!"

This is the last cry of the friend robot Kona to Owa. Owa's computing system knows even more accurately that although Kona is fast, it is blocked by countless broken parts of robots that are being destroyed, and it is too late to support it.

Kona's silver-white mechanical arm has been torn apart, and one of the fast-moving wheels is missing. There is something Owa can't understand in its shining eyes, but the look in those eyes is gradually disappearing...

Owa felt that his vision was gradually blurring, and his hearing system seemed to be damaged, becoming light and heavy at times, but he knew that not far away, his best friend Kona was still shouting, and he could no longer hear it with it. The mechanical throat that made the sound made him walk quickly.

Owa tried his best to lift his feet, exhausted all the energy stored in his body, and rushed in precariously...

It took one last look at Kona, and an emotion that it had never felt before gradually surged up.

Goodbye... Kona...

my good friend……

******

I obviously... have no heart...

But...why...the pain...

— Oval

In 2017, it was a warm winter.

In a clean but small rental room, a tall, handsome young man is struggling to fry an egg. He likes to eat eggs with browned corners, and the yolk can flow out when he bites into it. While frying, his saliva almost flows out. The young man hums Song, shouting in my heart, it's okay, I can eat it.

Not long after, a young man named Ringo happily put the poached eggs on a plate, and then almost fell to the ground with the plate and the person when he turned his head—how the hell did anyone escape! !

Ouwa was still a little dizzy, the turbulent flow of time and space caused a short circuit in the chip in his body, and his body functions had not yet recovered. He was lying in the kitchen of Ringo’s house like a dead person. Ringo went up to feel his pulse, and was almost scared stupid ...No heartbeat! This! !

"Hey! Hey!!"

Ringo yelled a few more times, and was about to call 120 when the people on the ground suddenly moved.

As a robot far beyond this era, Owa's appearance was developed to be extremely handsome. After all, even a robot has to be pleasing to the eye and conform to people's aesthetics.

As for the robots in 2149, the degree of fidelity is no different from that of humans. The only difference may be that they cannot sweat or get sick, and their brains are a little different from humans.

Owa's chip processor started to operate. After a brief accident, solar energy quickly entered its body. The body has been readjusted. The information search center has collected the basic samples of this world. It was more than 130 years ago.

This realization didn't produce any of the negative emotions that anyone should have in Owa - such as panic or surprise.

And because of the destruction of the robot terminal, countless things in its body are in a semi-collapsed state, these Ouwa don't care, the only thing it feels is that the indescribable restrictions on its body seem to have disappeared, probably this is the robot The only benefit of terminal destruction.

Seeing Ouwa wake up, Lingo finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe. For a long time, he didn't know what to say to the man who suddenly passed out in his kitchen, so he asked, "What's your name?"

Ouwa's pronunciation system has not been adjusted yet, and the voice coming out is a bit blurred: "...Ou...Ouwa."

"Ova?" Ringo said twice, "Where did you come from? Where do you live?"

It's better to send this trouble back quickly, Ringo thought.

Owa's electronic eyes turned around a few times, and after the chip went through a huge amount of system information processing, it finally got the safest and most reliable place from him.

"……your home."

"..."

Ringo is a person who is afraid of trouble, and he doesn't know how to answer.So he turned his head as if he didn't hear, and saw a plate with poached eggs beside him, and then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast, so he kindly asked Owa who was staring at the poached eggs: "Do you want to eat?" ?”

Owa shook his head, rejecting the offer.

Through his electronic eyes, he has made a precise assessment of the person in front of him and the poached egg on the table.

Name: Ringo

Sex: Male

Age: 22

Height: 1.8 meters a

Combat Strength: 5

Friendship: 15

"...It's still...believable."

Owa silently positioned Ringo in his heart, and once again swept his eyes on the half-destroyed poached egg.

Item: Poached Egg

Status: half left, medium cooked

Ingredients: Eggs of medium quality

Energy after absorption: 0.001 points

Do humans still eat this kind of food 130 years ago... Ouwa was a little "disappointed".

Ringo finished his breakfast as if no one was around, only to realize that there was someone beside him. After rubbing his temples, he tried to communicate with Owa again: "You can't stay at my house all the time, can you?"

"Can't you..." Owa finally focused his eyes on Ringo again, with a low voice.

Ringo sighed, not intending to compromise: "No." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help asking: "What about your home? Run away from home?"

"...No." Owa quickly processed his words, "Yes... can't go back."

After finishing speaking, Ouwa didn't know why he suddenly had a feeling that he had never felt before, like the emotion that Kona felt when he let him go at the most critical moment...

It's true... there's no going back...

It can’t go back to the world it used to be full of machinery. It has had countless robot companions like it. They used to hold beer cans together, open them in front of them, and then pick up the charger to “eat”. They all Knowing that they are just robots, their biggest goal is to evolve, become the most intelligent robot, and then implant the strongest chips.

As a humanoid robot, Owa often chats with his friend, Kona, a robot with only two mechanical claws, and the other party often complains to it: "You humanoid robots are just fine, once you evolve to the limit of intelligence, you can perform emotional implantation... ...have pity on us..."

Ouwa didn't know what to say to comfort it, so he heard Kona's eager voice: "Alas!! Someone violated the rules again! Damn it! Dude, I'm leaving first!"

Oh, yes, Kona's career as a great traffic police robot.

Ouwa, who was caught in the memory, showed a sluggish state in front of Ringo, which made Ringo slightly soft-hearted: Could it be that this guy just suffered some misfortune for the whole family?

In a sense, Ringo's speculation is not wrong.Kona...and countless robot companions, to Owa, they all exist like family members.

Ringo: "What are you going to do?"

Owa: "...live...your house."

Ringo: "..."

Ringo: "Do you have an ID card?"

Owa: "Yes... just wait for me... for a while."

Forging an ID card is very simple for it. After hacking into the information system, Ouwa fell into distress about his own name. Its program defaults to being "Ouwa", but this name obviously seems a bit strange to survive here. It is different, being outstanding is not its intention, if the country finds out that it is a robot from the future, it may be used as a research object, Ouwa was distressed for a while, and turned to ask Ringo.

"...do you...remember...my name...?"

"...Ova?"

"Do you... think... strange?"

Ringo shook his head: "There are all kinds of strange names these days, what's so strange about it."

Accurately combining Ringo's tone, pronunciation, and brainwaves, Ova came to the conclusion that Ringo was not lying, and it was quite satisfied with it, and soon made its own new ID card and handed it to Ringo, " it's here."

In the photo, Owa maintained a standard ID photo smile, which was the most suitable expression he got after systematic analysis.

Ringo glanced at the ID card and almost jumped up.

... 231 Huyun Road ... 401, and more!Isn't this the house number of my house? !How could it appear on Owa's ID card!

The house of less than 40 square meters was rented by Lingo. He had also seen the procedures. It was very complete and the surrounding environment was not bad. The strange boy who comes has something to do with it.

"Is there... any... question...?" Owa couldn't help asking, seeing Ringo's distressed expression.

"You really live here?"

Ouwa's system was refreshed and the following conclusions were drawn.

Answer: Yes, the probability of occupancy... drops, 71%

Answer: No, the probability of occupancy... drops, 32%

Owa, who is kind by nature and unwilling to lie, finally gave an answer after the system ran hundreds of times again: it nodded.

If that's the case...it shouldn't be...a lie...

Although Lingo was afraid of trouble, there was a high probability that he could only "take in" this guy temporarily when the landlady went on a trip and did not return.

Owa's program was set as an "all-round, humanoid robot" before it was manufactured

In short, it has the same appearance as human beings, and it relies on energy to maintain its actions. In terms of emotional intelligence and other aspects, it is the favorite robot of mankind in 2149!

The wide range of uses can even be extended to "boyfriend".

As for the Oval, because of its special precision, it is left in the human research institute for scientific work.

Even robots produced in the same batch will have different jobs due to their different levels of intelligence. In Owa, who has a very low degree of self-thinking, the human creators value that it is different from other robots and possesses superpowers. Strong analytical skills and focus.

Ringo didn't speak for a long time, which made Owa's mechanical chip murmur:

Could it be...this person...or...would reject...myself...

After all, the occupancy rate it obtained is only 71%, and there is still a 29% chance of being rejected. In just a few seconds, Owa has been constantly scanning the surrounding environment and places suitable for his own survival.

Even with an ID card, if you want to live here, you can't do it without money...

As a robot a hundred years later, the core of the system has been given instructions, such as robbery and theft, and once it is violated, it will self-destruct, and Ouwa suddenly fell into distress... There are people living around, and the security of the community is also high. Very good, but although it has solar power, if it encounters continuous rainy days without power support, it still cannot escape the end of "function stop".

The morning sun slowly poured in through the gaps in the curtains, and Ova suddenly felt the energy slowly flowing into his weak body again. After thinking for a while, he showed a bright smile to Ringo, maintaining his strength caused by the turbulence of time and space. Brief speech pauses for opening:

"May I…"

"I... don't bother..."
