Chapter 836 New Species
Lindsay suddenly interrupted the conversation.
The temperature in the basement rose several degrees.
Ye Haiya, who was standing by, didn't understand why Lindsay wanted to lead the topic to such a dangerous place.
Until she saw a string of new words in the friend channel.
Lindsay: [Yeh Haiya, this guy has been lying. ]
Lindsay: [The machine in this room has no function of hosting the consciousness of the living. It is just a computer that consumes a lot of energy and provides calculation functions. ]
The shell of the huge machine does block the detection of external memory.
It's just that Lindsay's skills are really useful.
After organizing the clues one by one, Lindsay found the real answer from the undetectable situation.
Just like the detective in the [puzzle game], it's completely unreasonable.
[Core computing device-a computing center made by superb skills. It can maintain the operation of the base and issue instructions to the puppets. ]
Ye Haiya: [Computer? ]
Lindsay: [This concept is a bit difficult to explain. Just treat it as an artificial puppet with self-awareness. ]
Yeh Haiya: [I understand - artificial life. ]
While the two were talking in the friend channel, the voice in the machine spoke again:
"Sir, I admire your insight."
"But please allow me to defend my actions."
"Although we are both craftsmen, there will be conflicts between me and my colleagues. I did participate in wars in this world, but the goal of launching attacks was just to protect myself from the attacks of the other side."
"I am definitely not the kind of inhuman villain you imagine!"
Lindsay directly took the initiative in the conversation:
"If you still don't tell the truth, then our conversation will end here."
"..."
Lindsay's questioning was extremely strong, and it also brought unprecedented silence.
More than ten seconds passed.
The voice in the machine sounded again:
"Sir, I don't understand what you mean?"
Linsey answered directly:
"What I mean is - you are not a craftsman at all, nor a human being."
"You are a machine made by a craftsman."
"You are also the core of the operation of this base."
Click--
The moment Linsey opened his mouth, crisp footsteps came from behind him.
He turned his head and saw that it was the puppet maid who had been silent just now, stepping in again.
And behind the puppet maid.
A large number of footsteps and red dots are gathering rapidly in the base.
The truth was revealed and spread rapidly among the puppets. The entire base entered an emergency state, and the battle was almost imminent.
Linsey's actions were even more straightforward.
He grabbed Ye Haiya's palm, and a magic pattern was attached to the back of the other's hand. At the same time, Linsey himself quietly changed the template and prepared [Sun Fragment].
Linsey: [Yeh Haiya, as long as I let go, you will immediately activate the effect of the magic pattern. 】
Lindsay: [I'm going to do something big, send the entire base directly into the sky, and then we can slowly make peace with the time and space chaos...]
"Rota! Stop!"
Lindsay was still teaching Ye Haiya how to use the magic pattern.
The voice in the machine was anxious first.
It didn't attack like the puppet maid as expected.
Instead, it admitted its mistake in a rapid tone, stopped the puppet maid from taking the next step, and tried to retain Lindsay and the others:
"Please wait!" "I don't really want to deceive you!"
"I'm just worried that telling the truth will cause you to reject us. We have no hostility!"
Because of the other party's retention, Lindsay didn't let go of his palm.
In other words, facing any life, as long as the other party is not a ruthless and evil person, he is willing to talk to the other party:
"Then answer my question just now."
The voice in the machine answered:
"We started that war under the order of the master."
"He and other craftsmen disagreed, and the way to decide who was right and who was wrong in the end was to prove it all by our own strength."
"According to what you humans say - we are just the sharp blade in the hands of the master."
"War and slaughter are not our own actions!"
Linsey was not sure whether the other party's words were true or false.
But since these mechanical creations did not start the war immediately and still chose to talk, he was willing to continue:
"What about your master?"
This time, the voice in the machine did not speak.
Instead, the puppet maid behind them stepped forward and said to the two in a cold voice:
"The master is dead."
"He and his former colleagues died together, leaving only the base and our tools to continue operating here."
The voice in the machine then said:
"Just like the result you saw through - I am indeed not a human, nor a craftsman. The reason why we want to get news from you is that we actually hope to know the future and know how we will act."
"On the first day of production, we learned to think and learn to fight."
"Under the master's teachings, we also learned the skills of craftsmen."
"But now, we have no master."
"This time-space distortion node is the only energy left by the master, and it is also the key to solving the problem."
"But if we walk into it, we will be disabled and stop working."
"We don't know what we did wrong."
"I don't know what to do now."
"..."
Linsey didn't answer immediately.
The voice in the machine clearly showed their thinking and pursuit of the future.
But on the display interface of the map skills, the mark of the puppet maid was still bright red.
Why would a machine without any target be hostile to itself?
Suppose the other party is continuing to execute the master's attack order.
Then we should go to war directly now instead of continuing to negotiate here.
Linsey asked tentatively:
"But I feel a kind of hostility from you."
Linsey's eyes were on the face of the puppet maid behind him.
The puppet maid in front of him did not dodge and responded with a cold and strong tone:
"Human, I am a combat unit in the base, and the program is set like this."
The voice in the machine also hurriedly explained:
"If you need to detect goodwill, there are servant machines in the base that are specially used to take care of people's lives. I can let them come over immediately!"
Linsey has not yet given an answer.
Ye Haiya just let him hold her hand and gave the choice to Lindsay beside her.
But at this moment, Lindsay felt that the source of the skill in his body began to change.
A line of text appeared in the task bar.
[New species]
[After losing its own creator, the new mechanical species, confused about its own existence, is trying to find a way. The adventurers passing by here will bring them an answer or an ending. ]
[Task rewards: living metal/gold-eating body, a large number of attribute skill experience points. ]
