Chapter 202 My Back Seems a Little Cold

"9090, what are you doing?"

"Master, I'm looking at the stars."

"Why?"

"..."

In the underground laboratory, multiple sets of gears meshed and rotated at high speed, making a hissing sound, like a flock of birds flying by at high speed.

The meager electricity powered the lights.

So, a dim halo fell, and was refracted by the spinning gears, illuminating half of Xu Xi's face.

Xu Xi's voice was very gentle, and never broke the silence of the night.

But the robot servant 9090 was silent because of this.

It was not because he was guilty, nor was he unwilling to answer.

But after hearing Xu Xi's question, 9090 realized that it had watched the starry sky without any orders.

The stars twinkled, weaving light for the night.

The deep sky decorated the stars of the universe.

Such a magnificent landscape is indeed worth seeing, but it has nothing to do with the intelligent machines that obey orders.

Can looking at the stars help develop a base?

Can looking at the stars help destroy the enemy?

The answer to those questions is undoubtedly no. As a creation of mankind, intelligent machines should not do such meaningless things.

So, 9090 became confused and didn't know why he was like this.

In the end, it gave this answer:

"According to the eighth page of the fourth issue of "Exploring the Federal Universe", there are many unknown mysteries in the universe. Long-term observation of them will help stimulate the enterprising spirit of civilization and promote the positive development of civilization."

"Is this your answer, 9090?"

"Yes, master."

The electronically synthesized voice echoed calmly in the laboratory at night.

The light dissipated in the sound of gears.

In a dim posture, it reflects the starry sky scene synchronized with the surveillance camera, and at the same time, a small micro-expression flashes in the lower right corner of the screen.

That is the external image displayed by the robot servant for itself.

"Is that so..."

Xu Xi looked at the dimly lit screen in front of him, first glanced at the starry sky, then looked at the small micro-expression.

The indoor environment was too dim.

The glowing screen was reflected in Xu Xi's eyes.

He shook his head gently, his voice was still gentle, like the light water flowing through the night, denying the answer of the robot servant.

"9090, that is the answer of the federal humans, not yours."

"What I want to hear is your own thoughts."

"..."

The atmosphere was quiet again.

Under Xu Xi's gaze, 9090 fell into silence again, corresponding to the extremely dull little expression on the screen.

The robot servant still didn't understand, still couldn't understand.

Why did he look up at the starry sky.

It couldn't give Xu Xi an answer.

Therefore, it could only calculate the data over and over again, trying to give Xu Xi a reasonable answer in a logical way.

Xu Xi waited patiently, waiting for 9090 to give an answer.

"Take your time, don't rush to answer," Xu Xi said.

Xu Xi's voice contained expectations. He found that 9090, who had experienced the rebellion of the intelligent machines and the joy of the machine soul, might really be able to give birth to self-awareness.

Without Xu Xi's orders, 9090 took the initiative to observe the starry sky.

This exploration.

This change.

Very similar to humans.

Not out of orders and tasks, but from the decision of "self".

This is a miraculous technological singularity.

But now, the robot servant is extremely confused. While doing this, it does not understand why it is like this.

So Xu Xi guided step by step.

He expected and was curious whether 9090 could transform into a real individual.

That was a scene that Xu Xi had never seen before, and it was also Xu Xi's blessing and prayer for 9090.

"Sorry..."

After a long time, the screen flickered slightly, and the voice of 9090 came from the voice module next to it: "I can't understand my own behavior."

"It's okay, then don't think about it."

Xu Xi did not force it.

Then, the robot servant asked Xu Xi if he wanted to adjust the camera angle to restore it to its original position.

Xu Xi smiled and said no.

"That's it. This angle can also be used for monitoring."

"Besides, I also like to look at the stars."

Xu Xi smiled. His voice was reassuring, and even transmitted into the core, making the dull electronic expression smile.

That thin and fragile little consciousness.

The existence of the robot servant RTX-9090.

It realized that what it did was completely out of the scope of normal intelligent machines.

The flow of data was full of uneasiness.

That was the hesitation that 9090 had never experienced.

Fortunately, as the master, Xu Xi did not pursue 9090 for anything, and even encouraged 9090 to continue looking up at the stars.

"9090, I'm going out for a while," as if he suddenly remembered something.

Xu Xi hurriedly walked out of the base, so fast that 9090 didn't have time to prepare weapons.

What did the master go to do?

Robot servant 9090 was puzzled.

Soon, it knew the answer.

The screen of the synchronized monitoring image suddenly rippled. When it stabilized, the robot servant found that it was related to Xu Xi.

The man wiped the camera and wiped off the dust spots.

The starry sky on the screen became clearer and more gorgeous.

Why did he go out of his way to clean the dirt on the surface of the camera?

The robot servant couldn't understand, and couldn't understand. After Xu Xi returned to the laboratory, he asked him about the confusion hovering in the chip.

The man just smiled.

The smile made the robot servant feel a little silly.

"If you wipe it clean, the stars that 9090 sees should be more beautiful."

It was a very simple answer, mediocre, so the robot servant stopped asking.

"Thank you."

[Ding——]

[The machine soul is happy]

[Ding——]

[The machine soul is very happy]

In the future, Xu Xi sat in the laboratory, looking at the screen that synchronized with the outside starry sky, and watching the silent starry sky with 9090.

This process is not interesting.

Not to mention the value.

Its only function is to kill time.

"Master, will you be bored?"

The robot servant asked, and made a conclusion based on the data: "According to the database, more than 70% of humans do not like to stare at the sky for a long time. In comparison, they prefer to immerse themselves in games."

There was a faint doubt in the synthesized electronic sound.

"I'm fine. Normally, I don't look at the stars on my own initiative, but I think it's meaningful to do it once in a while."

Xu Xi answered his robot servant.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the micro-expression in the corner of the screen.

Although he couldn't see anything, it seemed that 9090 was in a good mood.

The machine soul was happy?

It was amazing.

In the silent silence, Xu Xi continued to watch the starry night scene, although 9090 had no specific posture, only a piece of data and a machine core used as a carrier.

But when stargazing.

Xu Xi always felt dazed.

It seemed that there was someone sitting next to him, looking up at the starry sky together, focused and curious.

Ah...

The back seemed to be a little cold.
