Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 32 Robots Patrolling Alone

"Captain, after our on-site investigation, it is basically impossible to violently break through from the front."

"We have seen countless corpses on the other side of the entrance. This proves that the ground weapons around the dome biosphere can turn their guns to point inside the biosphere. We are not opponents of those heavy weapons."

The emergence of this conclusion made everyone present fall into silence.

"I have a way to let a small group of people go out openly."

Chen Xiaomeng suddenly walked in with Li Youyou.

Su Lixuan did not immediately ask what the method was, but first asked: "How many people can be taken out?"

"Up to five."

Another person below asked: "Will you be monitored all the time after you go out?"

"Yes, because it is going out in the name of visiting and studying."

"That's okay too?"

Another expressed incomprehension.

Some people understood him very well and said: "From the beginning to the end, only we regarded the other party as the enemy, and the other party did not consider us as the enemy. So it is not surprising."

There was silence, and after a while Su Lixuan looked at Qin Xu.

"Qin Xu, you can only take five people with you, and you have to go. You choose the remaining four people. You have created countless miracles, and I believe you can create it again."

With that said, Su Lixuan added: "This mission may only have one chance, and the robots cannot let us take advantage of it a second time."

"Okay. What do you need from me?"

"Insert the USB flash drive into the data interface of the energy transmission tower. Re-establish the communication channel between 550A and the other party."

"What is a USB flash drive?"

"..."

Before leaving, Chen Xiaomeng packed things that Qin Xu might use.

"I'm really convinced. Qin Xu, don't say you are my student from now on. I don't have students like you. In front of so many people, you actually asked what a USB flash drive was? I really wanted to tell you at that time Kick it out the door."

Chen Xiaomeng felt ashamed when she thought of the surprised looks everyone looked at Qin Xu and herself.

"You can't blame me. I really haven't heard of this thing, and you haven't told me about it either."

"Then when you eat, do you want me to teach you how to eat?"

"..."

"Hey, let me go with you. Otherwise, I don't know what stupid mistakes you will make."

"It would be dangerous to go out."

This time Qin Xu didn't say that he would be safer by his side.

Because for now, there is nothing that can threaten them within the ecosystem, but the countless robots outside the ecosystem may riot at any time.

When they swarmed over, Qin Xu himself might not be able to survive, let alone others.

"But……"

"Don't worry. If there are any problems that need to be solved, they will do it. I will be responsible for the battle."

He has already said this, and Chen Xiaomeng no longer insists.

Her going would indeed only delay things. After all, this time it was more of a combat mission, and there wasn't much that required mental work.

Let Qin Xu choose other crew members. Neither the new crew members nor the old crew members have any objections.

The new crew members have already witnessed Qin Xu's graduation at the speed of light, and most of the old crew members have also experienced the underground caveman incident and the Ideal City deformed body incident, and have nothing to say about Qin Xu's strength.

Qin Xu randomly selected the four people with the best grades, and then under the guidance of the little girl, he learned the same words that the robot used to take him out.

Not long after, the patrolling robot arrived.

But when it comes to patrolling, there is only one robot.

It was more like a walk than a patrol.No. 1077C, he walked quietly through this street he didn't know how many times he had walked, but his heart felt different every time he walked.

He stood in the ruins, and his thoughts seemed to go back thousands of years.

At that time, the streets here were not so dilapidated, and there were many vendors selling on the roadside.

He stood where he was, raised his hand and glanced at the photo on the palm of his hand that was sealed and kept by him, but still began to appear dim because of the passage of time.

In the photo, a man is smiling and hugging his shoulders, looking like a good brother, while behind him is a group of people eating barbecue lively.

The location of this barbecue restaurant is where the robot is standing right now.

It's just that people have left Chaliang, and it's so desolate that there's no trace of what it once was.

Realizing that someone was coming, the robot showed no signs of alertness or intention of picking up a weapon. It just stood there and watched them.

"We are very interested in your machine society. Can you take five of us out to visit it?"

A member of the five-person team stood up and said with a kind smile.

The robot listened to their words, but remained silent, and did not reply as the little girl told them.

Qin Xu and everyone immediately became nervous, because this meant that the plan might fail.

But the little girl said that's what she said last time, and then chatted and took her out.

Aren’t all robots supposed to be programmed? Why are they getting different results if they are the same?
The robot opposite was still silent, and those who didn't know thought it was broken.

Finally, he glanced at the little girl who poked her little head out of the rubble.

The poker machine suddenly showed a wry smile on its face.

No one knew why they saw this expression on the face of a robot with no facial expressions.

But there is such a feeling.

"Come with me, I'll take you out."

The group of people suddenly felt confused.

What was the reason for the silence for so long?Is it just a mechanical failure?But it's always good to take it out.

"I know what you want to do, but actually..."

"That's it."

1077C said, recalling the figure of this man in his mind, thinking of his persistence and determination, but did not say the next words.

Everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that they would say something wrong.

Anyway, the other party is still leading them there, so just continue to follow, and don't talk if you can.

The robot didn't seem to want to get a response from the other party, so it just took them out.

"1077C, are you sure you want to take these intelligent organisms out of the ecosystem? The environment outside is extremely harsh for them. Our mission is to protect them as much as possible."

"I'm sure."

The door to the ecosystem opened, and 1077C took them out.

When facing robots with lower permissions than you, sometimes you don't need to explain anything to them. You just need to express your thoughts forcefully, and the robots with lower permissions will unconditionally follow the robots with higher permissions.

From this moment on, everyone clearly felt that the robot in front of them was different from other robots.

Qin Xu had actually been paying attention to every move of this robot.

When he said that he wanted to take them out, he glanced in one direction, which was naturally observed by Qin Xu keenly.

Not sure whether it was intentional or unintentional, after the robot took them out of the ecological circle, Qin Xu said naturally: "It would be great if we could enter that energy transmission tower to visit."

"It's useless. We have backup energy, which is enough to kill you all."

1077C said calmly while leading them on a street full of robots.
