messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 65 A Task Not Worthy of Being Continued
In the studio, Chu walked to the table and picked up the manual from the messy table.

EDR robot, if she remembers correctly, B3068 is this type of robot.

I did remember correctly at the beginning, the first page of the instruction manual has a sample picture of the model of the EDR robot printed, and the style of the model is exactly the same as that of the B3068.

It seems that this place used to be a place where humans worked, and there was a thing called a computer on the table, which of course was already full of dust.

The dilapidated desk lamp was bent, and there were all kinds of documents in the scattered folders. Chu didn't bother to look at them, after all, they were of no use to her.

After briefly looking at the EDR robot manual in his hand, he was about to put it down.

But suddenly, she should have seen what it was, and stopped her movements.

Chu's eyes stopped on the last page of the manual, which read:

"The EDR robot is designed to find an environment suitable for human survival, and when it finds a suitable environment, it will transmit the coordinate signal of the current position.

In order to prevent the robot from leaving the coordinates abnormally before the arrival of humans, once the coordinate signal is sent, the robot will automatically shut down, retaining only the positioning function, and used as a fixed coordinate transmitter. "

That is to say, when a suitable living environment is found and a location signal is emitted, B3068 will be shut down by the program and become a dead locator.

Looking at the last paragraph of the manual for the first time, her slender brows were slightly frowned.

Does B3068 know about this? It probably doesn't.

Because it has been looking forward to the return of human beings from the stars, to the rebuilding of the earth, to the day when it is no longer alone.

But now, it seems that all its expectations have failed. It will never be able to see the return of human beings, it will never be able to see the reconstruction of the earth, and it will never be able to get out of loneliness.

The task given to it by humans is not only to find in solitude, but also to die in solitude.

"Sha." Putting down the instruction manual, she never violates her own mission, and she also believes that all missions should not be violated.

But this time, she seemed to be shaken a bit, she didn't know if B3068 should continue its mission.

This may not be a task worth continuing.

······
in the factory.

B3068 stared at the bodies of the countless compatriots in front of him in a daze, the green light in his eyes flickered.

It stood up slowly, and in its view, the bodies of these compatriots were so intact.

They have not been exposed to the wind and sun, and have been covered in dust all year round, which makes their bodies look brand new, at least compared to themselves.

Not much rust, no breakage, no patchwork parts.

Maybe they can be activated.

Such an idea popped up in B3068's mind.

If it can activate these compatriots, it dare not imagine how wonderful it would be.

"Here."

Holding the wild grass in one hand, B3068 walked up to these compatriots.

"Dangdang."

It tapped one of the heads, but the sleeping robots didn't respond.

"Drip—" B3068 scratched his head in confusion, he didn't know how to wake them up.

"Slap." It reached out and slapped a robot on the face.

no response.

"Papa." It took two more shots.

Still no response.

"Papa papa papa..." It started beating in rapid succession.

"Crack!" The robot's head was slapped off.

"drop!"

Startled, B3068 picked up the robot's head at a loss, and put it back crookedly.

"Didi." It should be apologizing, but the robot with its severed head couldn't hear it.

Because the head of a compatriot was snapped off, B3068 no longer dared to mess with the bodies of these compatriots.

Maybe there's a button or something.

It thought of a more reasonable idea, walked towards the depths of the factory, and continued to search for ways to activate these compatriots.

The factory is really big, and B3068 passed through countless robots and assembly lines all the way, before walking in front of an operation desk.

"drop."

B3068 stopped, looked up at the giant console, the green light in his eyes became brighter.

Its restless heart began to agitate again.

Walking up the stairs to the console in three steps and two steps, B3068 saw a display screen as wide as the wall and countless buttons under the display screen.

Having found the most obvious one, B3068 pressed it without hesitation.

"Crack."

As if something was turned on, a muffled sound came out in the factory.

Then, the monitor in front of B3068 lit up, and in the monitor, an electronic female voice began to speak.

"Ready to start the running program."

A progress bar appeared on the monitor, loading slowly.

"Insufficient power." The female voice continued: "The backup energy is being activated, and the backup energy has been activated successfully."

The monitor gradually lit up, and the operation interface appeared.

B3068 stared blankly at the monitor, saw no response for a while, and pressed a button casually.

"Start reading the history, please specify the history..."

The electronic female voice appeared again and said.

"No history specified, starting random draw."

In the next moment, a video was displayed on the monitor, which seemed to be a previously recorded video.

In the video, a dozen humans in white lab coats are surrounding a robot and recording something.

That robot was a model B3068 had never seen before.

B3068 watched the video and sat down with a plate of weeds in his hands. It looked like he was watching a movie, only a glass of Coke and popcorn was missing.

At this time, a middle-aged man appeared in the video. He should be facing the camera, adjusted his glasses, and said excitedly.

"J4000 robot soldier test, this time the soldier robot has a strong individual combat capability, enough to replace the role of human soldiers in the war, I believe, they will change this war."

The middle-aged man spoke, and the robot in the video started testing.

It is agile in action, and its strength and speed are far beyond what ordinary people can match.At the same time, it is equipped with several individual hot weapons. It can be said that the middle-aged man is very modest. This kind of soldier robot can not only replace human soldiers, but even have abilities far exceeding them.

B3068 looked in surprise, it had never thought that robots could have such a variety of attack methods, if it had such abilities, chaotic robots would not be his opponents.

······
The test is over, and the next video begins. B3068 is looking forward to continue watching.

This time, it appears that a new type of robot is being tested, and the testing site is in the wild.

In the video, B3068 saw the earth in the past, the sky, rivers, grasslands, and forests at that time, all of which seemed to it almost like a dreamlike scene.

The middle-aged man appeared in front of the camera again, this time he was much older, with obvious wrinkles on his face and a lot of gray hair on his head.

His eyes looked tired, not as hot as in the first video.

He looked at the camera and said in a heavy voice.

"The TL200 war robot test, as expected, this type of war robot already possesses strategic power, and they will end this damn war."

As the middle-aged man's voice fell, a fully armed robot walked towards the screen. It had a body several meters high and was covered with heavy armor. It seemed that the ground was shaking every time it took a step.

The war robot stopped, and a cannon was raised on its shoulder, aiming at a hillside not far away.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of artillery firing and blasting sounded at the same time, and amidst the smoke and gravel, the hillside that originally stood there turned into a pit.

"Drip."

B3068 shrank back in fright, its eyes were full of panic and doubts, and it didn't know why humans made such terrible things.

······
By this time the third video had already started playing.

In the video is a battlefield, the sky is gloomy, and artillery fire is flying.

Countless flames, bullets, and robots raged across the land, destroying everything they encountered.

The darkness was filled with smoke, there was no sunlight, no other colors, only ruins and flames.

The middle-aged man did not appear in the camera this time. He may just be holding the camera and recording all this silently.

He should be on the winning side, but the trembling camera doesn't feel that way.

Looking at the scene in the video, B3068 never imagined that its creator would look like this.

It has never thought that human beings are so terrible.

······
After the war, the camera switches to the fourth video.

This time there is no test, no war, the picture is an office.

An old man was sitting at a desk, and he could be vaguely recognized from his appearance as the middle-aged man in the previous video.

At this time, he was already full of white hair, with a stooped figure, and time had left indelible marks on his face.

"Ahem." The old man coughed and sat weakly at the desk, his old eyes drooping.

"The war is not over. A nuclear war broke out. When human beings realized what happened, it was too late and everything was over."

Having said that, the old man's palms were clenched tightly, and muddy tears flowed from his eyes.

"We were wrong, so wrong. All countries ceased fighting, and all factories began to manufacture EDR robots."

"We hope that the earth will give us another chance."

"Here."

B3068 crouched in front of the monitor, watching behind the old man and out of the office window.The sky there was no longer clear, but turned into its familiar gray-yellow color, and it was no longer possible to see any life in the world.

Humans have destroyed the Earth, and it seems to get it.

It was humans who betrayed their mothers.

······
The fifth video screen unfolds, this time outside, the world has become what B3068 always sees, ruins, dust, dilapidated.

An aging old man was sitting on the roof of the factory. He could no longer see any vitality in his body, and he seemed to die at any moment.

He looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and said with dim eyes.

"There is no news from the EDR robots in the various radiation areas. In fact, this result should have been expected. The radiation is spreading, and the earth can no longer support the remaining human beings."

"They're going to put all their eggs in one basket to find new habitable planets."

A dreamy smile appeared on the old man's face, and he closed his eyes.

"I'm not going to leave, I want to stay here and atone for my mother."

······
From the very beginning, human beings are the reason for the destruction of everything, not because they left the earth, but because they were exiled by the earth.
