《Love and Robots》3. The Sigma Collection
Advertisement
Not knowing what to do with the miniature human, alpha picked up the little boy and handed him over to Sigma.
“Look at him, ” was all he said.
The boy and Sigma nodded at the same time.
” ... ” the alpha was silent.
But it seems like a better idea for them to watch each other!
So Be it
The “Brain” quickly reaches a conclusion, and Alpha’s glow screen flickers.
There are clearly more important things for alpha to do right now, so why is this human suddenly here? Is this a human settlement? There was so much to explore, so much to analyze, and with the droids outside of ETA, alpha quickly evacuated.
“Epsilon, follow. ” As they left, alpha gave a command without turning his head, just as his voice dropped, what had been a ramshackle craft lying on the ground was suddenly transformed: the rotund hull was rapidly disintegrating, and countless mechanical surfaces had been organized into a gigantic robot!
“Yes, ” the giant robot (still in tatters) mutely replied, and plodded after Alpha and the others.
The little boy’s expression changed into this at once.( ⊙ o ⊙)
If you could, Sigma’s expression would probably be the same.( ⊙ o ⊙)
“My legs... And my butt. ” With her arms on her upper body, she took two steps toward Epsilon. Sigma wanted to immediately remove her legs and butt from Epsilon’s body, but he immediately thought of Alpha’s orders.
It was Alpha’s second task, watching the humans behind him!
The Flash of the glowing screen had become frustrated, and just as sigma was about to “Walk” back with her arms, he suddenly felt he had been caught.
“Look at you! ” A pair of big eyes sparkly looking at him, but the same dedicated Mugan children came to catch him.
The two guys then went back to guarding each other →←→ during this time Mugen’s stomach rumbled from beginning to end, but he was obviously very good at it, to distract himself from feeling hungry, Muggan began to count his stomach sounds. As a child of his age, he can count from one to fifty accurately.

But he could only count to fifty, and his father had not yet taught him to count after fifty.
Halfway through the count, Muggan heard more and more frequent cooing, and soon reached fifty. He looked up blankly, and the little one realized that the cooing wasn’t just coming from his stomach, across from him, under Sigma’s belly, too, was a constant noise, more and more frequent and strange.
Unaware that it was an emergency alarm that signaled the countdown to the self destruct sequence, Muggan knelt down and took two steps in the direction of Sigma.
“What’s in your belly? ” is a child after all, Muggan children full of curiosity at this age should have.
Sigma’s answer to him was to open her belly
The belly of the robot can be opened, there is a folding dimension of storage space, they will put the necessary items inside, many times, some special types of robots will also put the body parts stored inside.
As a sigma being carried straight from the assembly line by his peers, his storage space is empty except for the interesting garbage he collects along the way.
To others, it’s rubbish, but to Sigma, who knows nothing, it’s a treasure like no other.
Upon hearing the boy’s question, Sigma immediately took out her treasure.
There were three stones, four tomatoes, and a few potatoes that looked like stones. The robot dug deep into its stomach. After a while, Sigma pulled three eggs out of its stomach!
Muggan’s eyes are open! ! ! ! !
The little guy immediately ran to a place not far away. He dug a hole neatly on the ground. After a while, he took a small box from the bottom and quickly rummaged through it, he quickly found what he wanted inside.
It’s a book --
Cautiously holding the book in his arms, Muggan pedaled back again.
Kneeling again in front of Sigma, the little one carefully laid the book on his lap. The book in his hand was very worn, but clearly well protected, with no other signs of damage other than the marks of time.

After wiping his dirty hands with his clothes, the little boy opened the book on his lap. He was obviously familiar with the book, and turned the page with ease. His short little finger pointed to something on the page, muggan’s eyes sparkled at Sigma.
“Is this, is this a tomato? ”
Looking down the little guy’s finger, Sigma did see a picture of a round tomato... in the book.
The book The Little Guy held in his arms was a children’s book of words, full of pictures, and in various Earth languages, the pronunciation and writing of the objects in the picture.
Before that, Sigma had no idea what these things were, but with the little boy’s hint, he immediately found the corresponding “Tomato” in the “Brain” explanation.
The contents of Sigma’s brain are copied to him, the first use, Sigma search some unskilled, but he still found the content he wanted.
Tomato and tomato are both red fruits and vegetables, and the image of the food is in the brain. After careful verification, Sigma nodded.
And learned new things, and Sigma was happy.
“That! That’s a potato, isn’t it? ” The Little Boy was happier than he was, and he quickly turned the page in his book of letters, and when he turned to the next page, he pointed it out to sigma.
Potatoes, also known as spud, in some areas also specifically refers to peanuts, is a very easy to grow food.
Sigma immediately found the answer in its own “Brain” .
“Yes. ”
The little boy looked at Sigma admiringly:
“You’re So Good! ”
Having no idea what to say at this moment, Sigma turned her head from side to side, and said honestly, “My companions and I met some humans on the way, and they threw them to me. ”
News of the escape of several military robots was leaked as early as the beginning. The public controlled by public opinion was full of fear and loathing of these robots. They were discovered soon after, a lot of angry people did angry things to them.
Eggs, tomatoes, they’re light. They’ve even been shelled.
Sigma carefully put away the things that had been thrown at her and put them in her belly.
Having just been born into this world, Sigma does not understand the indignities of human behavior. But, for now, this Mugan human says he’s good.
So, what happened before must have been a good thing?
Then the glow of the sigma screen flashed a warm red.
In the face of the constant rumbling of the human stomach, connected to his earlier “Hungry” , sigma quickly in his “Brain” to find the relevant explanation.
Hungry, hungry, need to eat.
Tomatoes, potatoes, eggs, it’s all food.
So Sigma presented her collection to Mulgan.
“Here you are. ” The robot is originally for Human Services, since the human in front of the hungry, so they have to provide him with food.
Even if the food is his precious collection.
In the face of the food, the hungry little guy finally can not resist the temptation to eat a full stomach, carefully from sigma hand picked a smallest tomato, and then wolfed down to eat.
When the little one ate the tomato, Sigma would stand quietly with the food in her hands and watch him eat.
A 60-centimeter-tall baby human and a two-legged robot with its rear end taken away by its companion are oddly harmonious in height and atmosphere.
