《Love and Robots》4. Strange robots
Advertisement
Pi is a scout type robot, the main mission is to search, detect, identify and sneak attack enemy targets, pi is smaller, in the production of a variety of stealth technology, with high stealth.
At this time, he was walking at the head of the line. Although he looks the same as he usually does, the built in detection waves have spread out in layers of ripples around his body, creating a three dimensional representation of the terrain within a kilometer of each other.
Pi is synchronously sharing the mirror data it has collected with its peers over the LAN.
All the evidence is pointing to the fact that this is an incomparably desolate planet. The soil is barren, barren, and devoid of any trace of other human activity.
In this case, the presence of the infant human is even more abrupt.
Without an adult around him, how did he survive the harsh conditions of the planet? In the files sent over, alpha noticed the presence of a beast, a huge beast that existed outside his database, living in packs on the planet, and was definitely a predator.
The Alphas’ shimmering screen glows silently with undulating blue light.
He was reminded of it by the ever-increasing urgency of his alarm, and it was only eight minutes and four seconds before the self-destruct system was activated.
At this time, pi suddenly said: “The front 10 o’clock to 800 meters found suspicious targets! Danger coefficient 1! Do you need to clear suspicious targets? ”
“Go and have a look, ” alpha said, momentarily putting his doubts about the human infant on the to do list. His attention was drawn to the suspicious object he had been sent to find: a robot!
How could he not care that a robot had suddenly appeared on a planet that Alpha had judged to be so backward as to be devoid of any advanced productivity?
The five droids immediately arrived at the target at top speed.
From the moment the robot entered exploratory range, pi scanned it from beginning to end, from outside to inside.

” ... the target robot body is made entirely of fine steel, the dominant material for the first generation of robots, which was abandoned seven hundred and eighty years ago at the birth of the second generation... ”
“Completely unarmed inside and out, ruling out the possibility of battle droids... internal parts showing significant wear and tear... ”
At full speed, send the results of the second scan to the other robots. As a result, from the moment they first met, Alpha and his team had a full picture of what it was like to be a stranger.
However, when they actually saw each other, they both crashed for 0.1 millisecond.
I mean, I knew the robot was a dinosaur, but it’s a little old-fashioned.
In stark contrast to the monochrome alpha line, the robot doesn’t have a single piece of metal of the same color, so it looks like it’s been pieced together.
Even the mechanical arm is missing one side, do not know who to repair him, missing one arm was replaced with a wooden material.
It’s also..
Beyond the realm of logical computation -- a robot led by Alpha thought the same thing.
A slightly newer vegetable basket stuffed with a large ball was rolled at the foot of this comical, almost impossible-to-call-robot piece of junk.
His leg also fell off, although he is very old and very broken, but still see this leg fell off the reason is not walking off their own, but by external intervention, forced off.
The severed limb of the robot was found not far away, and Alpha took a closer look at the teeth marks and determined that the killer was the large beast seen in the previously sent image.
The robot was attacked by a wild animal, but it was soon discovered that the prey did not taste good at all, so it was dumped here.
“Let’s get out of here, ” alpha said in an impassive voice as he tossed the body parts to the ground.

Even though they are robots, alphas have no sympathy for him at all, and such rudimentary robots, presumably not intelligent at all, exist only as machines, unable to communicate at all.
But something even more out of the realm of Alpha Logic has happened --
“Good day, good day. ”
As Alpha and his men turned to leave, an ill timed greeting was clearly heard below their feet.
That’s the sound of a robot. It’s that piece of shit robot!
The alpha stopped short.
The robot is so primitive that it has no internal network and can not use brain waves to communicate with other robots. It can only speak to its own kind by means of sound.
“Hello, are you a robot, too? ”
The broken limb did not cause the robot to feel pain, so his voice sounded very calm.
“Yes. ” Alpha turned and looked down at the nearly disassembled robot, its head the most complete of any other part of its body.
Alpha’s feeling a little weird.
He thought it was strange that a robot with no intelligence could communicate with him!
“Hello, my kind, I haven’t seen you here before, are you just here? ” Not only to communicate actively, his logic is also very clear.
“Yes, ” alpha answered him truthfully.
“I’ve lived on this planet for 500 years, and all of this information is stored in my brain, and because my hard drive isn’t big enough, I only have some of it, and some of it is stored on another hard drive somewhere else. ”
“All this can be given to you. ”
He uttered a phrase that sounded flat, emotionless, and devoid of any inclination, because of the characteristic rigidity of the robot’s voice.
Alpha, however, recognized his subtext.
“What do you want me to give you in exchange for giving me such valuable information? ”
Ipsilon they may not be able to hear it, but Alpha, who has dealt with humans the most, immediately heard it in their words.
“I hope you can take care of a human for me after I break down, ” said the man, who was still a robot and was very honest about his terms.
“A human named Mugan is four years, seven months and three days old. You can extract his image from my hard drive later. I hope you can take care of him for me after I break down. ”
It was still a very cold, hard mechanical sound, but it sounded different from what you usually hear.
“He’s a very well-cared-for human being and won’t waste much of your energy. ”
“Did you come here with other humans? If so, please give Mugan to other humans. If not, surely you need to find a human to be your master? ”
“Muggan would make a great host. He’s the best human being I’ve ever seen. ”
As the robot continued, the noise in his voice increased, and if what he said at first was very logical, then what he said next was illogical.
That’s something only a human would say, alpha thought, his head cocked.
“Please, ” said the last word, and the tattered robot stared at the Alfa.
The red light disappeared from his eyes, and he made no sound for the rest of the day.
In human terms, he’s dead.
In robot parlance, he’s broken.
“It’s just running out of gas, ” alpha told Epsilon after picking up the broken robot and checking it. “Put everything on the floor away and let’s go back to where we came from. ”
“Yes, ” Ypsilon replied sullenly, and dutifully collected all the parts that belonged to the strange robot on the floor, even the vegetable basket.
The four droids are on the move.
At this point, the self-destruct system is only three minutes away.
