Star Age 1218.

This is the planet Aju, a desolate star recognized by the entire universe.

The gray and black surface is potholed, and the vegetation coverage rate is less than 20%. The perennial dust and storms make the climate of this planet extremely severe.Almost no life can live here, and the barren and harsh environment makes resource predators bother to patronize.

But waste products also have ways to use waste products, and the nearby planets use Aju planet as a landfill for garbage.

009 is one of the so-called "garbage".

It is an abandoned domestic robot.In fact, objectively speaking, it did not have any major failures, and most of the functions loaded on the body can still be used.

It's just that in the Xingyuan Era, where technology is developing rapidly, artificial intelligence is updated at an extremely fast speed. As the first machine, it was quickly replaced by more advanced robots.

So 009 was sent to the carrier spacecraft, and sent to Aju, its new home, as one of many garbage to be disposed of.

Out of the instinct of a former domestic robot, it quickly found a new mission on this dead planet and began to clean the land day after day.

So for a long time, the most common sight on this planet was a clumsy robot, a shambling figure of toil-although its cleaning speed was far behind the speed of regular dumping of garbage from the outside world, even though Its behavior is just a drop in the bucket.

Such days have continued until today. 009 dragged a small storage box and walked on the potholed ground.The storage box contained the treasures it had just scavenged from a new batch of garbage-a few odd screws, bottles of drinking water with unknown production dates, a mutilated book, a cracked mirror, and… …a packet of seeds.

There are only a few bushes growing on this planet, and the extremely cold weather and scarce water make it difficult for all animals and plants to survive. 009 has tried to breed new plants, but since its function does not include this field, the process is extremely difficult and has never been successful.

The seeds found this time—actually just a few moldy cores—are its 562 attempts.

009 bowed his head and dragged the box, one foot deep and one foot shallow, all he could see in his field of vision was gray-black land, like a swamp covered with a layer of lime.

But at this moment, suddenly, it felt an abnormal energy fluctuation.

The fluctuations are like raging and spreading tides, even a model like it that is not good at detection can feel it immediately.

009 stopped in his tracks immediately, and everything that followed, like a slow animation, was presented to him frame by frame.

I saw, on the gray and black earth, a smear of green broke through the ground.Beautiful plants that have never been seen before seem to be inspired at the same moment, awakened from a long sleep, and sprang out from the deep underground.

They have completed the whole process of life from germination to full bloom in a very short period of time. The emerald branches and leaves grow unscrupulously, and the gorgeous and moving flowers bloom wantonly.

The gray and white planet was dyed with colorful colors in the blink of an eye, like an invisible big hand pouring paint from the sky, splashing it wantonly and splashing ink.

"Boom-"

Louder than the blooming flowers is 009's heartbeat.

As a robot with a body that perfectly imitated a human being, he knew for the first time that the part called the "heart" in his chest could really beat.

It feels like a long time ago, when his master mistakenly input electric energy far larger than his capacity into the body, the strong current invaded from the socket all the way, quickly spread to all data lines, and the burst of lightning damaged the body, causing him to crash instantly.

This is a miracle.He looked at everything that happened in front of him, looked at the land covered with green, and felt extremely confident.

Then, he started walking in a certain direction.

This was not an order from his brain, but purely an instinct.This instinct came so suddenly and unreasonably, but it was stronger than all the instructions ever received.

009's left leg was injured not long ago, exposing the original parts of the machine under the simulated skin, and the metal parts exposed to the air have long been rusted.This made his actions very inconvenient. He didn't care about it before, but now he just hates himself for nothing.

"Why can't it be faster?" For the first time, the stumbling robot had an emotion called anxiety.

Second after second, time ticked by.

In the past, there was no trace of green on the planet, but now it is full of greenery.But 009 didn't have time to look, he listened to the voice in his heart, and came to the place where the green plants were the most lush.The hands that had been scratched by the plants along the way pushed aside the last layer of bushes, and then he saw a tree.

It was a huge, shining tree.

Its branches extend extremely long and wide, but it doesn't look like a living thing, it's more like a jade carving.What is even more amazing is that there is not a single leaf on this tree, only a golden fruit hanging on the highest branch.

It seems that it spends its whole life, dedicating all the nutrients accumulated in the long years, just to support such a fruit.

009 tries to get closer.

However, a vine suddenly jumped in front of him.The slender vines were covered with sharp thorns, like a poisonous snake with its fangs bared, slowly but flexibly wrapped around his body.

Then he realized that as long as he moved forward one more inch, the sharp thorns of this vine would dig into his body without hesitation, crushing his throat.

"...are you protecting it?" 009 asked.

Vine, of course, would not answer him.

009 noticed that there were far more vines than this one lurking around him. In fact, the plants in this area were obviously not at the same level as those he saw when walking all the way ahead.

If the plants in front are harmless and beautiful, then this place is extremely ghostly and ferocious.

Leaving aside the countless cobweb-like vines lurking in the trees and the ground, let’s just talk about the flower next to him.

The flower is taller than a person, with beautiful blue fluorescent powder floating in the center of the flower, and the petals are as colorful and purple-black as the wings of a butterfly, but 009 clearly saw that the flower center of the flower split open just now, revealing a mouthful of venom sticking inside fangs.

009 doesn't know much about plants, but the characteristics of this flower are too recognizable. It is the black butterfly king flower that was extinct a hundred years ago.So far, it has been listed as an interstellar critically endangered species, a disaster-level creature that can cause the extinction of the planet.

It is said that one flower can kill an army, but now, this area is full of :)

In addition to the black butterfly king flower, 009 also saw man-eating grass, rafflesia, dead mushroom, red heart sunflower... almost all the most ferocious plants in the entire universe, and many of them have already become extinct. Can write a big inventory of "those plants with the highest risk factor".

But now, these extremely dangerous plants gathered together, and they all guarded the tree in a unified manner.In other words, it was the golden fruit on the tree.

009 took a step back and sat down on the ground.

He looked at the scene in front of him, at the plants that were quietly dormant and peacefully coexisting, and for some reason, he thought of what he saw in a book of ancient earth myths that he picked up a long time ago.

"The goddess brought back a tree from the far distant sky, and the tree bore golden fruits."

"She ordered the gods to guard the sacred garden where the fruits were planted, and she ordered a hundred dragons to watch day and night under the tree."

"She told this place that storms cannot be attacked, and that bad luck cannot be touched."

"This ideal town built by the gods is pregnant with the supreme miracle of this world."

For the first time, 009 put down his work and stayed under this big tree.

He didn't know what he was waiting for, it was just a premonition he had had since seeing this fruit, which made him unable to take half a step away from the tree.

The dangerous plants around him didn't hurt him, and 009 felt a unified arrogance from inside.Those plants seem to be full of thoughts, they despise all life, only the fruits in front of them can make them stay loyally.

Then, on this night, under the scorching gaze of 009 and the plants, the golden fruit on the tree swayed slowly.

It fell to the ground with a "click" and shattered.
