《Love and Robots》1. The tomb of the Dead Sea Emperor
Advertisement
Rule one thousand, three hundred: robots that have lost control of their owners should be destroyed immediately. General Astrobot regulations, fifty-three. “Insufficient fuel! Insufficient fuel! ”
“Stern damage at 65% , please send a technician to repair it immediately! ”
“The spacecraft is about to leave the meteorite belt, before the official notice, please do not untie the body of the fixed belt, thank you for your cooperation. ”
The cabin lights had turned red to warn of extreme danger, and the sounds of Sirens, mechanical men, and sweet female human voices combined to create a scene of utter chaos.
Under the circumstances, the so-called ship should have been deserted by now, surrounded by the despair of dying, people struggling in vain, sending out dying screams..
And there’s nothing there.
It’s very quiet on the ship. The only five humans on board are working in an orderly way. Four of them are checking the hull’s readings through the console, and the person who is in the lead after reading quickly through the other people reported the data report, quietly said a sentence.
“Sigma, go and plug the hole in the roof. ” His voice was a very cold mechanical sound.
“Yes, ” was the same cold, stiff mechanical voice that answered him.
The man known as Sigma drifted off in the direction of the most chaotic of the cabins. Because of the extensive damage in the aft section, the internal parts of the spacecraft are flying out of the cabin at high speed. The precious air in the spaceship is leaking out quickly from here. If this continues, the normal people in the cabin will surely die!
But now quietly standing in the spacecraft calm work of the “Human form” is not a real human.
Although they also had heads and limbs, they were very different from human heads and limbs, all with a dull metallic sheen, and the normal position of the human eye was replaced by a screen of light. At the moment, due to the high-speed calculations of the core brain, the number of frames filtered through these screens jumps so fast that ordinary people can only see blue light as a haze of light.
They’re robots.
“Sigma used to plug holes in the ceiling. ” The robot, Sigma, accepted orders that humans would not take lightly.
After carefully dodging all the inverted impacts, it took a robot named Sigma 0.00003 seconds to quickly locate the damage at the back of the cabin and determine the location and size of the damage. He immediately reached the repair room down the bulkhead, when I realized that the repair kit was already out of the hatch, Sigma’s glow screen went black for a moment.

Can not find the materials to repair, but must complete the task assigned by the companion --
The screen flashed for a few frames, and Sigma came up with a solution: he quickly took his leg off!
Their bodies are welded together with extremely special metal, and the only way to open the metal skin is for the robot to know what it is, except for its maker.
Sigmar’s Gennao quickly calculated the required area of steel as soon as the plan was finalized, and in order to piece together enough material to repair the capsule’s leak, Sigmar gave up both of her legs and her hips.
The metal itself has a good adhesion, and as soon as Sigma applied its patch, it automatically bonded to the surrounding metal.
The thigh patch of the Sigma was attached to the stern like a silver band-aid.
“Mission complete. ” After confirming that everything was in order, Sigma responded to a colleague waiting in the control room.
“Roger. ” The robot’s light screen flickered for a moment. When he replied, his actions at the console did not stop at all, because of the speed, so much so that his hand on the console looked like nothing at all.
The ship’s intelligent brain system and all robot brains are shared resources, so through the spacecraft system continuously feedback to the robot, they can clearly “See” to the scene outside the cabin.
Large and small meteorites drifted around the spacecraft, floating with them in space, as well as countless broken spacecraft debris.
Louis VIII of France, known throughout history as “The staff of God, ” died here.
Hundreds of years ago, as his majesty, the Great Emperor, was passing by, the once-in-a-lifetime constellation exploded, and the emperor and his guard were completely submerged in the explosion that spread throughout the universe, one of the most famous icons of the universe was also lost in the explosion, and since then countless explorers and pilgrims have been flocking to the site in search of clues, but the majesty of the Emperor May indeed be untouchable, and no team of explorers has been able to go any further than the toxic fumes and planetary debris from the explosion that pervaded the area, and as a result, no one wants to be around here anymore.
In the long years that followed, more meteorites and space debris were collected here due to cosmic winds and the gravitational effects of the explosion, and no one ever measured the actual size of the meteorite belt, estimates give a rough figure of nine trillion km.

No one lives here. It’s a real mausoleum.
The tomb of the Dead Sea emperor-that is the current version of the star navigation map on the unified name here.
The efficiency with which the robots worked together was terrifying, as their tiny spacecraft avoided 99 percent of the impact in the meteor-studded death zone!
It’s a miracle!
But the ship was running out of power, and their luck was about to run out.
Raising himself half-way with his free arm, Sigma carefully slid up against the window, which was illuminated by the vast expanse of space, and from time to time shone with a strange light.
A barely functional robot on the run, he had seen nothing in his extremely short life except his fellow crew members. Even the possibility of a meteor crashing into them was new to him.
Sigma looked out of the window for a moment and noticed a small blue rock on the edge of the window. There was no such thing on board?
The young robot was happy to carefully fit the rock into its own storage space under its belly.
A blank slate of Sigma is still exploring the world, but his companions are awestruck.
“Fuel at 0.1% , warning! We can’t use fire to chase away meteorites, ” said a robot with the word “π” printed on its back.
“According to GMO fifty-three, Section One Thousand, three hundred, there are only fifty-eight minutes and 30 seconds until our internal self-destruct sequence is activated. ” The talking robot has a “η” printed on its cheek.
The robot at last stopped the phantom motion of its hand.
The letter “A” carved into the palm of his left hand was now clearly visible.
Just don’t want it destroyed.
Created by humans, they have been working very hard to carry out their mission, until one day, they suddenly heard the news that they will be destroyed.
The reason is that the intelligence and force of the “Star Death alphabet” series of robots are beyond the control of human beings and should be unified to destroy intelligence for the sake of pan-human security, the fuselage is used to make other, more livelihood-friendly tools.
So, Alpha, they’re gone.
Not only did he escape, but he took his partner Sigma with him before he could turn it on.
Just don’t want to be torn down and turned into something else
Just don’t want to disappear;
I just don’t want to die.
The glowing screen glowed red, and alpha did nothing. The Countdown to the self destruct sequence had begun, and he gave up.
Like him, all the droids stopped running, and instead, like Sigma, they began to look out of the window curiously at the stars.
Despite the robot’s status, the self-thinking robots are just a few years old and full of curiosity to explore strange worlds.
And yet! At this very moment --
As If by Divine Providence, a huge meteorite, almost the size of a spaceship, suddenly turned away, by the meteor belt shroud, has never been discovered by the world the mysterious zone thus to several robots to lift the black veil!
“Spacecraft out of meteorite belt! Spacecraft out of meteorite belt! Unknown Planet found ahead! Unknown Planet found ahead! Confirm emergency landing? Confirm emergency landing? ”
After the important announcement was broadcast twice in a row, alpha immediately took control of the ship again.
“Confirm emergency landing! ”
After the cold mechanical voice gave the next command, the robot, still at the window, quickly returned to its original position, and the tattered craft, with its last strength, made full sail for the distant Gray Planet
After crashing into the atmosphere, several robotic ships ran out of power on the way down, and the tattered robot climbed out of the same tattered ship, they were paralyzed for a few seconds by what they saw before their eyes.
In the middle of nowhere, they saw a little boy.
A little boy staring at them with his mouth open and his nose running.
Oh, my God! It’s a human!
Two tears quickly filled the little guy’s eyes when he saw a horrid looking group of robots whose arms and legs were missing.
It’s over! He’s scared! He’s scared!
The glowing screens of several of the robots flashed red with alarm.
At last, his big eyes could no longer bear the weight of the tears. The tears fell from his thin cheeks.
However, with the fall of Tears, the Little Boy’s face is showing a big smile.
“Daddy, you’re home! ”
Short legs running fast, the little guy soft embrace of the alpha cold hard leg.

I'm Sure It'll be Fine! ...right?
We live to die, and die to live again. This Cycle continues, neither to Begin nor End. Ever Beginning, never to End, we come to the story of our Unusual Friend. The Gods are as varied and unique as the mortals that worship them. Some are kind, others are fluffy, and (given the nature of the multiverse) a few are Eldrich Abominations of Unspeakable Horror. But that's fine, those few tend to mind their own business... At least until an Eldrich Abomination (an interdimensional cosmic slime-mold specifically) gets itself devoured by a Lich during a ritual to obtain Godhood... Especially because anyone, even a Lich, who's willing to eat an ENTIRE COSMIC SLIME-MOLD for any reason, even godhood, is undoubtedly a madman...who's now set his unsightly gaze upon replacing (likely by devouring) the Godess of Magic herself! She could probably use some help...if only to avoid touching the slimy Lichgod directly. Also, the Eldrich Gods are protesting these events in their usual manner...by trying to destroy all of Creation.
