Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 43

Roses will definitely grow well.

Nan'an opened his eyes wide.

His head went blank for a moment, and he repeated: "Is it an area... gone?"

"Yes." Ellie shook her head, her tone was very heavy, "Because the robot was created."

"Why is that?"

Ai Li glanced at Nan'an and said in a low voice, "It's out of control."

Hearing this, Nan'an took a deep breath, and before returning to his senses, Ellie continued: "I remember that there were 8 or [-] people in the entire district at that time. At once--"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Ai Li." Lin Ze said lightly, "Go to the monitoring room with Delia."

Ellie was slightly taken aback: "Now?"

Lin Ze: "The data department needs the test results from the previous hour."

Ellie nodded upon hearing this.

The conversation just now was interrupted like this.

But Nan An still wanted to know.

For some reason, his intuition told him that the current robot is definitely not a coincidence.He wanted to know what happened in the previous area, and-why it became like this.

So while Lin Ze was looking for Biddle, Nan An quietly looked for Ellie. He looked around, and after making sure that the other researchers were not there, he called out, "Sister Ellie."

Seeing Ellie's gaze coming over, Nan An continued to lower his voice, and whispered: "I was interrupted just now, but I want to know what happened."

After his words fell, Allie sighed again.

"Really want to hear it?"

"Ah."

"Ten years ago, the year when the robot was manufactured." Ellie uploaded the data to the computer, and glanced at Nan'an Road, "The technology of the base is completely out of control."

"out of control?"

"Yes." Ellie said, "The robots at that time were, to some extent, a huge leap in human technology. Because the cost of manufacturing robots out of thin air was very high, whether it was the body or parts, the quantity of these manufactured The number has reached tens of thousands, not to mention the cost. But if humans are used as the carrier, then the cost will be reduced accordingly, at least, the body does not need to spend any more money."

Nan An: "Then what happened later?"

"Afterwards, with Yinling having one more vote than Rose, the base passed the robot bill and established relevant regulations."

"After human beings transform into robots, they need to be tested at the base first, and then transferred to the research institute for a seven-day observation period. After the transformation of cyborgs, it takes three days." Ellie said, "to prevent any accidents." produced, but..."

Ellie paused for a few seconds and continued: "I remember that it was the eighth robot that was successfully transformed, which violated the regulations of the base."

"He was lurking in the residential area, and he lived like an ordinary person." Ellie said, "At that time, the base's technological level was limited, and I didn't know that the data virus he carried could infect all humans with mechanical prosthetics. Therefore, when the whole When the region erupts, it is almost a devastating blow."

Nan An opened his eyes wide: "Then how did you control it in the end?"

Ellie shook her head: "When it first broke out, Yinling and Rose were at a loss. They tried to find the robot, but he was too hidden, with a higher level of mechanization than everyone else, hiding in the residential area .”

As soon as these words came out, Nan An suddenly thought of his own situation.

It seems... The robot is similar to his bionic man, except that the former is transformed by humans, while he is just a robot, but in essence, they are another existence different from today's humans.

"What then?"

"It's controlled by researchers in the rose area."

Ellie: "They simulated a forced wave, a high-energy charged particle. Its effect is similar to that of a solar storm, which can penetrate all electronic shells and cause procedural chaos."

"So the robot..."

"Yes." Ellie said, "The reaction of the robot is different from that of ordinary humans. Therefore, the researcher found him in a snack bar, and he was trying to infect all the diners with mechanical arms in the store."

Listening to this, Nan'an looked at Ai Li with his eyes wide open.

Before he could say anything, Allie said, "Do you want to ask why this area is still gone after you caught him, right?"

Nan'an nodded.

"Because this fluctuation will affect all electronic products, whether it is a computer communicator, or an implanted robotic arm, chip and brain, the particle flow will penetrate everything." Ellie said, "It was really careless at the time, or I don’t care about any consequences when using it. So the entire area, the infected ones are alienated. The uninfected ones, because of the fluctuations, finally got out of control.”

"Is everyone gone?"

"Occasionally a few survive." Ellie said, "They are ordinary people who have not been implanted with any chips, but they are a very small number. After they are discovered, they have to undergo some mechanized transformation to survive."

Nan An frowned and looked at Ai Li.

In fact, if you think about it, ordinary people who have not been implanted with chips will not be affected in any way. However, under the complete alienation of the mechanical arm, they will not survive at all, and those who survive are considered lucky.

"You were on the floor of Jill's ward before?" Allie asked suddenly.

Nan'an: "Yes."

"There is a very good ophthalmologist there." Ellie smiled lightly, "In fact, she is also very good in addition to ophthalmology. At that time, the survivors are still living there and undergoing life-long recuperation."

As Ellie spoke, she returned to the previous topic: "So there was chaos at the time. Yinling wanted to compete with Rose to take over the area for mechanization and complete transformation, and Rose wanted to control it and forbid all mechanization. So the rescue Almost at a standstill."

"It was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong in the conflict of interests at that time." Ellie put away the final materials, "However, the regional infection expanded uncontrollably."

"Are more people infected?"

"Not only that, there are almost no survivors in the entire area." Ellie shook her head, "When Yinling and Rose discovered all this, it had already become a mess. There is no way to control it, and there is no way to rescue the survivors. So At that time, amidst the chaos, the base institute decided to let Lin Ze take over."

Hearing Lin Ze, Nan An's eyelashes trembled.

"Lin Ze just became a C-level scientist back then, at the age of seventeen or eighteen." Ellie said, "A scientist who just finished his studies at the base, this important task fell directly on him. Now that I think about it, it's hard to say Is it true trust, or is it a victim of factional struggles. But... three days after Lin Ze took over, the alienation of the entire region was completely controlled."

"After this incident, Lin Ze banned all mechanization and revised the "Rose Law". The split between the rose and the silver bell caused the split of the city. The two factions of the base took over different cities and became opposites."

Ellie turned on the automatic monitor, turned her chair, and looked at Nan'an, "This is all that happened ten years ago."

Nan An murmured: "Then now..."

"As long as the alienation doesn't spread to the district level, and it doesn't explode on a large scale, it won't get out of control." Ai Li rubbed Nan'an's hair, "Technology has improved in the past ten years, and we are also improving. Even if it is a robot, it will not explode. In some cases, it can still be ascertained in a small area.”

Hearing this, Nan An suddenly felt relieved.

He still wanted to say something, but saw Ellie turned on the communicator, saying to the other end that the automatic monitoring had been turned on, and it would be manually taken over in an hour.

"Do you want to have something to eat first?" She asked, "I heard from the school teacher that you didn't have much rest today when you went there early in the morning."

Nan'an shook his head resolutely, and said softly, "I won't go."

"why?"

Nan'an hugged the rose in the glass cover and said, "Lin Ze hasn't left work yet."

Ellie laughed when she heard that, her eyes fell on the rose, and she said after a while: "Then go to the restaurant to buy some food, and you bring it to him."

Now, Nan'an agreed.

But before leaving to the restaurant, he still didn't put the rose down, not wanting to let the rose out of his sight.

The hospital restaurant is on the seventh floor. When Nan An and Ai Li passed by, it happened to be the opening time for dinner.Nan'an walked around and found that there was no omurice, almost all basic meals here, which were much worse than those in the research institute.

Nan'an suddenly wanted to make omelet rice.

He chose for a long time, put white rice in a small paper box, surrounded by a circle of red carrots, and then put a round sun egg in the middle.

Under the watchful eyes of other researchers, Nan An took this paper box to meet Lin Ze.

Biddle was not there, so Lin Ze was the only one in the room.

He was leaning against the window, the light outside the window outlined his cold back, the communicator in his hand was still on, as if he had just finished the call.

Nan An put the small lunch box on the table, hugged the rose and looked at Lin Ze.

Before he could open his mouth, the other party's gaze fell.

It seemed that for just a split second, Nan'an felt a smile in Lin Ze's eyes, even though it was only a few tenths of a second.

But Nan'an felt that he still saw it, so he didn't say anything more, pulled out the chair, took out his small lunch box from the plastic bag, took a small spoon, and ate the meal in bites.

After a while, he wanted to speak, when he heard Lin Ze's communicator ringing again.

So Nan'an continued to eat.

At the end, when the communication was finally over, Nan An put down the small silver spoon and said softly: "Thank you for giving me the rose." Then he put the glass cover on the table and said: "I will take good care of this rose .”

After finishing speaking, he still didn't dare to look at Lin Ze.

Nan An immediately lay down on the table, her small face buried in her arms, as if she was shy.

But Lin Ze wanted to talk to him at that time, and Nan An did hear him speak, but the next second, he was interrupted by a rapid beeping sound.

The rose in the glass cover gently dropped a petal at this moment.

Nan'an was slightly stunned, and realized after a few seconds.With a trace of panic, he wanted to take off the glass cover, but he heard the voice of the communicator clearly and anxiously——

"Dr. Lin, a regional-level outbreak of unknown cause occurred within the Pudo area on the north side."
