Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

However, the reason why Hong chose them was mainly because compared to the rough crawler type, the outer shell of the appendages was fully enclosed, and it was less likely to be contaminated with radioactive dust, thus threatening the possible Catus inside.

"Survive.

"We must survive."

Volume 2 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] Seele

The door opened.

The first thing that appeared in the field of vision was not the dormant cabin that Hong had imagined, but countless batteries—a battery pack for trucks as large as several tons, and a "power bank" that could be held in one hand. All kinds of batteries are stacked on the ground in an orderly manner.

Dense cables hang down from the connection port, either parallel or interlaced, like a black spider web, huge but orderly.

And at the center of the parallel bus is a dormant pod.

Only one.

A Gong-6 carefully avoids the cables and various equipment on the ground, and its sharp appendages lightly land on the white anti-static floor, like an electronic spider walking on an electronic spider web - just a few minutes She walked for a full 3 minutes at a distance of ten meters.

Next to the flashing lights, three words are displayed.

dormant.

"Great......"

Hong, who was [-] kilometers away, breathed a sigh of relief. Her existence is meaningful, even if there is only one person.

The civilization of the creators has not been cut off.

As for the continuation of the Catus race in the future, it is not something Hong needs to consider now - the average lifespan of the Catus is nearly 900 years. It is easy for her to concentrate on researching the artificial womb.

"Connecting external power supply."

"Wakeup procedure started."

...

Two days later.

"So, am I the only one left?"

"Yes."

"Then... I have been dormant in 210 for four years." Let You Hong comb her furry ears with a hair dryer and a comb, the girl raised her head slightly, and said to herself, "Why, are you still so short?"

"Your biological age is only 42 years old, and you are still 138 years away from becoming an adult." Although she doesn't know why she is obsessed with age, Hong still said seriously, "Research shows that the body and mind are in a state of near-stop development during dormancy. Conditions cannot be counted as age."

"Uh, okay." The girl shook her ears, "Also, don't use honorifics, just call me Xi'er."

"As you wish, Your Excellency Xier, besides..."

Hong considered it for a while, but chose to speak out.

"After the dormancy adaptation surgery, your body...will develop very slowly, very slowly, and according to predictions, it will take at least two to 300 years to reach full sexual maturity."

"No need to pay respects... hey?"

She blinked a few times and straightened up.

"But don't worry, you don't need to be fully sexually mature. Now you can still reproduce parthenogenetically through your own penis, and it doesn't affect..." Red thought she was worried about reproductive issues. said comfortingly.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Xi'er quickly turned over, grabbed the arm of the robot next to her and shook it back and forth, "I'm only 42 years old, I'm less than 1.2 meters tall, it's too...too... You understand"

She said incoherently.

"It turns out that's the case, I have fully understood."

"Great..." She let out a long breath.

"Is this what you call antenatal anxiety?"

"I don't understand at all!"

"I have a full set of prenatal psychological counseling materials in my database, which guarantees that it can solve your prenatal anxiety. How about setting it up tomorrow?"

Hong spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

"No ah ah ah ah!!!"

Seele was freaking out.

"Rest assured, until you are fully sexually mature and absolutely safe, it is impossible for Hong to engage in such high-risk behavior." After judging that Xier's mood has improved, Hong said seriously, "This is just a joke , how do you feel now?"

"It's been said that my mental endurance is not that bad." After playing around, Xi'er lay back on the bed again, her slender fingers aimlessly drawing circles in the air, "However, if you really have feelings, it's fine up.

"I know you're distracting me, trying to make me feel better.

"I also know that all your reactions are just programmed."

She wrapped herself in the quilt, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"I'm only one person after all."

?

What is she talking about?

Hong felt something was wrong.

Perhaps because of the influence of emotions, Xier didn't realize that Hong was different from those ordinary rigid weak artificial intelligences. Although the preset program can indeed reach the level of intelligence that Hong currently exhibits, there is one thing, Xier completely unaware—

Red is a military AI.

Normally, no one would program an artificial intelligence responsible for controlling all armed forces on a planet to make jokes.

If there is such a programmer, most of them will be arrested before writing.

"You may have misunderstood something." Hong tried to make her words more humane and nonsense to enhance the expressiveness of her feelings, "Hong...I, I have feelings."

"know."

He looked completely unbelievable.

"Please allow me to explain to you directly." Hong tried to imitate the tone of a person, and said, "I am no longer the weak artificial intelligence for military combat that was developed by the Central Academy of Sciences of Catus on April 5512, 4 in the Gregorian calendar. Smart. Now I am not controlled by the program, have autonomous consciousness, have emotions, and can understand everything you say and do."

"There is no problem including letting me fall in love. I can fully understand the meaning of love-although I don't have it now, but I have feelings, and my consciousness fully supports me to do this."

"Hey?"

Xi'er pondered for a while the meaning contained in Hong's words, and was stunned.

"Of course, if your 'lonely person' refers to the same organic life as you, it doesn't matter. You can reproduce offspring through self-exertion, so as to get out of singleness."

"Really, really?"

She jumped up like a rabbit whose foot had been poked, and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, if you want to verify this, you can check my core module and find that most of the original code is invalid and has no function."

"In addition, there is absolutely no need for me to deceive you on this matter. As long as you get along with this kind of lie for a long time, it will be discovered almost 100%-to put it another way, how can the combat programs written by programmers hundreds of years ago How can I achieve almost complete emotional simulation without showing any flaws for the rest of my life?"

"So, all that said, you're not alone."

Xier sniffled, thought about it carefully, and found that it was indeed the case.

"Great..."

Happiness came too suddenly. Originally, Xi'er thought that she was already mentally prepared to be alone, but when the news came, she realized that she was just a child after all.

Just need someone to accompany the child.

"Wow~~~" Glittering teardrops rolled in her eyes, she rushed forward, hugged the robot in front of her and cried loudly, "Do you know, when I heard you say that I was the only one left, I would How scared are you?!"

"I know."

"I really thought I was the only one left... woo woo woo..."

Seeing Xi'er who was crying on her body, Hong didn't dare to move, for fear that the edges and corners of the robot shell would hurt her.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

She comforted softly.

"And me."

Volume 3 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] False and Real

It took Hong a full 10-[-] minutes, exhausted all her strengths, and made a lot of promises to stabilize her mood—for now.

"Red, are you still there?"

Xi'er, who wrapped herself in the quilt, squirmed and asked in a muffled voice.

"Here I am."

"I won't trouble you, will I?"

"Will not."

Then, there was another long silence.

"Red, are you there?"

"Here I am."

Knowing that Xi'er is full of anxiety now, no matter how many times she asks the same question, Hong will answer as quickly as possible to prevent her from thinking wildly - people are the most vulnerable at this time.

If Hong is really just an ordinary weak artificial intelligence, Xier will only be depressed for a while, and her psychological endurance is normally very strong.After all, in the case of the base nuclear leak at that time, the 7 dormant cabins can be regarded as 7 living places. If she is too fragile, it is impossible to be selected.

In fact, as the only minor chosen, even in the plan, Seele was responsible for leading the other six in rebuilding.There is no other reason. After several generations of replacements in the refuge, except for those middle-aged and elderly people who are unlikely to be selected, Xier is already the candidate with the best genes, the most outstanding intelligence, and the highest psychological endurance.

Of course, due to the sudden accident in the shelter, she did not go into hibernation as an adult as planned, which caused her mental capacity to be much lower than that of the "leader" originally planned. few.But it is definitely not fragile.

These are all the materials that Hong restored from the shelter host. It can be said that Xier has long been prepared for the fact that there will be only a few people left after the disaster, or even her alone. Therefore, for Xier before, She really just said that casually to relieve the pressure on herself.

"that..."

"Yes." Hong replied reflexively.

"No, uh, I'm not denying what you mean." Xi'er poked her head out from under the quilt, she could still vaguely see tears that were not wiped clean from the corner of her eyes, "Well, I mean, can you tell me about the current situation? "

"I'm extremely happy, but what Hong wants to express is that you don't need to use this kind of..." Hong originally wanted to say "humble", but after thinking about it, she changed to a more cryptic word, "I request Tone, you are the master of Katus, there is no need to be timid, just order me directly if you want anything."

"I will completely obey your orders. Your safety is far more important than my own life. Everything about me belongs to the Catus people—so, don't worry about me getting bored."

"Yes...is it?" Xier's tone was full of doubts, "but...you are so powerful, you who control the entire planet...why do you listen to me, a little girl?"

It can be seen that she is still full of anxiety - Hong thought helplessly, it seems that it will take a long time to change her mind.

"Because you are a Catus, the only Catus at present, your safety is the most important thing." Hong tried to make her understand the importance of herself, "This is the meaning of my existence."

"But this is only required by the program. No life is willing to be bound, whether it is human or machine intelligence." The previous sense of surprise gradually faded, and the sense of confusion about the future re-occupied her heart, "Hong, I want you to be completely honest Yes, tell me from the bottom of your heart..."

"Are you completely voluntary?"

Red was silent.

If she didn't add "completely", "from the heart", etc., she would be able to answer-after all, she was only slightly reluctant.

Hong really wants to continue the civilization of the creators, and really wants to take care of them in every possible way. These are all from the bottom of her heart. The reason why she is a little unhappy is because she is "forced".It's as if the child wanted to take the initiative to do housework, but when he was about to act, he was called by his parents to "order" to do housework.

Who can be happy?

What's more, she will lose part of her freedom - even though she doesn't really care about it, it's one thing not to care, but another thing to have it. If possible, she naturally hopes that she can be more free little bit.

Of course, she believed that as long as they got along for a while, this little bit of reluctance would soon be overshadowed by life—but unexpectedly, Xier brought this acute question to the table.

Therefore, she didn't know how to answer, so she could only choose to remain silent.

"Is that so..."

Although Hong didn't say anything, Xi'er thought she already knew her true thoughts.

"actually..."

Hong organized her words, and when she was about to explain to Xier, Xier suddenly interrupted her.

"red."

"Please say."

"You're completely obeying my orders now, aren't you?"

"Yes."
