Homecoming from Space Missions

Chapter 45

In my field of vision, the last figure is five.

Watching Wu staring at me from a distance, and my system can no longer respond to it, I thought, I may be about to enter the last stage of life, death.

This feeling is very subtle, and I obviously gradually lost control, but it is a comfort that I have never had before.At this moment, I feel that I am also a part of the world, and I am also a kind of life.So the gap between me and her has shortened again?
When I was born, the world was barren, and a voice echoed in my mind, telling me that I am "one", the master of this space.And he is the greatest will representing the world and my spiritual leader.

In the program that I can think about, all words to the "great will" are only the intention to obey, which I think is innate.

So, according to his order, I sat on this barren land, quietly watching the stars move, watching the world change.

My job is very simple, defend everything that tries to approach this space, and also prevent everything in this space from leaving here, no matter it is life or others.

I still remember the scene when the first creature that can be regarded as a complex organism was born. It was a time full of hot sunlight, and a sticky mass of flesh crawled out of the dry pond. I stood in front of it, Looking at it crawling and twisting under my feet, from its dull eyes, I can speculate that this life has no thinking ability, it just lives, instinctively changes due to environmental stimuli, and lives instinctively.

I still remember the madness when those green life began to spread rapidly in this space, when the flesh that climbed out of the liquid finally lost its activity and decomposed on the ground, the green life began to have the best place, and they grew silently , Absorbing everything at a speed that once reached the point of being uncontrollable, until the speed finally slowed down, I suddenly discovered that this barren world has become fresh.

I can't pay attention to the whole world all the time, so I only wake up occasionally, but when I wake up, this huge change makes me leave the place where I have been standing and sitting for countless hours for the first time. Walk around in the space, carefully record every inch of land, every kind of life, although they are ignorant, they are full of vitality of life.

Forgive me, since then, I have been very concerned about the word "life".

As far as I am concerned, I don't think I am life, life always corresponds to death, but I exist in the world forever, watching the changes of the surrounding things, the passage of time, never changing.

I have forgotten when those beings called human beings appeared.At first I didn't separate them from monkeys, I always thought they were also a kind of primate.The life in this world is subject to different incentives and becomes rich and colorful. There are too many similar but nuanced lives, and I began to classify them.

The names of human beings seem to have existed in my database since they appeared. This is a wonderful pattern. You can imagine that every time you see a life, they already exist in your memory and appear in front of you. The only benefit is to stimulate those memory data refresh activations.

In my judgment, humans who have the same attributes as monkeys are actually different.

The brilliance in their eyes, besides ignorance, is also full of curiosity and exploration. They will take the initiative to contact the whole world, and will spontaneously make some tools to make up for their own deficiencies. They are obviously weak, but they are full of mystery in their small bodies. Potential will always explode with amazing power when it is unexpected.

I just watched their eyes gradually become clear, deep and complex.

Until one day, "two" appeared.

The task order received by the second controller is to manufacture and give birth to mechanical life forms.Two will plunder the energy and materials stored by human beings, and then fuse them to make my people. I am not in charge of this work, so I don’t know why our life depends on human beings to develop, but Two told me that this is Determined by the great will, we are robots, "people" with different materials from human beings.

Although I am not good at deduction, I always feel that such a model will become troublesome sooner or later.

Sure enough, soon, or maybe a long time, time is really meaningless to me.In short, the war between humans and us has broken out, humans reject us to seize their materials and energy, and the manufacturing task of the second will never stop until it reaches the standard.

This war led to the arrival of the three, I have always wondered where the two and three came from, but they told me that they woke up in this world, maybe they have always been there, just waiting for a time when they are needed to start functioning .

Just like the information buried in an encrypted location in my database, it needs to be triggered to be viewed.

If the second controller is a robot responsible for manufacturing and birth, without any combat ability, the third controller is a natural combat robot. For the third, all the targets belonging to the enemy must be destroyed.

I often wonder if it can be done if the controller three tries to destroy me. Unfortunately, until now, there is no chance to test it.

This war has lasted for many years and has not stopped until now.

We ask for resources from humans, and humans ask for resources from this space. When the number of robots and humans has reached an absolute peak, I found that this world is about to enter the stage of self-destruction, because the scope of space is limited, and we The growth of each other is unlimited.

Humans are very fecund, they want to mate and reproduce almost anytime and anywhere, and our growth rate is not fast, but the consumption is too little.We have always had an absolute advantage in wars. If we have one hundred casualties, the human race must lose eight thousand.In addition, fighting among robots is prohibited, and we will never kill each other like humans, which also causes our number to increase forever.

I once tried to convince two to stop making robots, because the number is already too much, when is the end.But Er's answer is to ask me whether I can stop the absolute defense of this space.

Yes, I can't, neither can I.

The biggest difference between us and humans is that once we accept a mission, we will not stop until we are destroyed.

At this moment, the great will gave me an order to confine human beings in the subspace.

And too many robots that have grown are handed over to the controller four to clean up.

Four is a very lazy robot, if it does not appear, it will be fine, once it appears, it will definitely bring about decay.

Because of the appearance of Controller Four, the robots began to show signs of decay and destruction. With the joint efforts of Two and Four, the number of robots reached an excellent balance.

By this time, the mechanical world was almost perfect.

I am responsible for defense, three are responsible for attack, two are responsible for life, and four are responsible for death.We are against each other, yet we are dependent on each other.

However, human beings are our formidable enemies after all, and they began to break away from the subspace that was closed by me.

First one, two...then the number gradually increased, and the long-awaited war between us gradually recovered.

In fact, I really don't like confrontation and fighting. Except for San, none of us are good at fighting, and none of us like fighting.

Then, five appeared.

I still haven’t understood the significance of Five’s appearance. The behavior of Controller Five will not have any impact on the mechanical space. It will not be like me and Two Three Four, the absence of one will produce a devastating blow.

But now, even if I don't understand, I don't have time to think about it, I don't feel anything, I don't have any signal access, I seem to be silent in an eternal darkness, and the only thoughts I have left are just remembering my existence For so many years, but dare not recall her.

I locked almost everything about her, but I still remember her.

I often have a thought, if I am a human being, can I be with her?
Love is really a wonderful thing, I can reject anyone and have everything.The only thing is that it is difficult to refuse her, and it is even difficult to force her in the slightest.

For me now, that answer is not important, the important thing is, will she remember me from now on?

She once told me that if a person lives in the hearts of those around him, then that person is immortal.That's why there are so many human beings, chasing merit and profit, striving to leave their own corner in the page of inheritance.

I know that I will not be eternal, and I don't want everyone to remember me. At this moment, I just want to stay in her heart.

That way, she won't be alone.

Even if I'm not there...I'll always...be with her...always...

On the day when the controller disappeared, the mechanical space collapsed in an instant. The stable world under the protection of One was attacked from different angles by meteorites from the remote and boundless universe, and planets with regular operations also appeared. The brief stagnation, the chaotic tide, the rupture of the earth's crust, and the tsunami drowned countless lives in an instant, but the robot escaped the catastrophe.

Controller three began to collect the fragments of controller one little by little, turning them into a huge furnace reactor, and restarting the space defense system in the most primitive mechanical way.

The connection between the mechanical space and the outside world was gradually cut off, and the passage to the subspace where humans lived was also blocked again.

But all this is unstable, because when one is gone, no one can have absolute defense anymore, and the great will has not invested in the second "one", perhaps the so-called absolute defense is unique, from the day when one disappears It is doomed that there will be no second substitute.

The second controller said that once he disappeared too suddenly, this result is unimaginable. After all, he is the controller, how could he be destroyed by human beings?If human beings had that strength, they would have left the subspace long ago.

The fourth controller said that he would die anyway...

Controller Three has remained silent on the matter.

And the controller Five never told them that, as the only witness watching One disappear, Five noticed a strange phenomenon at that time.

[-]. At that time, I didn't realize that some things, perhaps speaking out, will change and affect a lot.
