"…Detecting, detection completed, this is the control command signal of the mechanical life form network.

Confirmed: It is this network signal that causes the thought circuit to not function normally."

"this!"

The two looked at each other and their eyes lit up.

"I see!"

"It was actually because of the instructions from the mechanical life form network."

"Turn on the electromagnetic shielding and shut down the King's unit's signal receiver." 9S ordered without hesitation.

"Understood. Closing..." Pod 153 reported.

"It's not appropriate to do this!" Ye Feng suddenly thought of something.

"What's going on?" 9S asked, confused.

"This way..." Ye Feng said, sending a command to auxiliary machine 154, "Generate the permission password for the signal receiver."

"Understood. The signal receiver activation authorization code has been generated." Pod 154 reported.

Ye Feng laughed, "Let's give the choice to them."

“Oh… I see.” 9S suddenly realized.

Scanning this space again, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh:

"I never thought that the instructions of a mechanical life form would act on this little baby."

9S nodded.

“He was too young to think independently and turn off the Internet at that time.

But fortunately, he is relatively small and not aggressive, so it is not difficult to modify him. ”

The two finished the hacking.

"What's going on, you two?" The Mechanical Prime Minister came up to them with a worried look on his face, his expression full of worry and anxiety.

The generals behind him also showed expectant expressions and stared at the two men nervously.

"That should be enough now." Ye Feng said easily.

"Its signal receiver is not turned off. It has been receiving instructions from the mechanical life form network. We have already turned it off."

"By the way, here is the control code for the signal receiver, please keep it."

Ye Feng said, handing a complex string of commands to the Prime Minister, and earnestly admonished:

"It's better to put the power of closure in your hands."

The Prime Minister took the order and nodded gratefully.

"Thank you, benefactor." The generals said in unison and knelt down to express their gratitude, their eyes filled with gratitude.

"Don't be so polite." Ye Feng and 9S helped everyone up again.

At this moment, a childish mechanical voice reached everyone's ears.

"Thank you for saving me."

Everyone was surprised and looked up, their eyes focused on the baby carriage.

The baby king in the cradle began to speak, with a gleam in his eyes.

"King!" the prime minister shouted excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

Then he trembled all over, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and howled to the sky:

"Old King, you have a successor.

The little king could not only speak, but also had no problems with his thinking.

Your soul in heaven can rest in peace!!!"

In the palace, the prime minister, generals, guards and all other members of the kingdom could not help but kneel down and cry bitterly, bursting into tears of gratitude and banging their heads on the ground.

"this!"

9S smacked his lips as he watched the chaotic scene.

"At first, I thought they were just emotionless killing machines..."

2B looked around and her cold face showed some emotion. Her facial muscles trembled slightly and she murmured,

"Their emotions are so rich..."

Ye Feng looked at this scene with satisfaction and smiled.

“After being disconnected from the internet, they are more human than us androids.

Their king is a true hero.

The king's people are also grateful.

What a wonderful thing this is..."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, 2B and 9S both looked sideways at Ye Feng.

2B couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that all of a sudden?"

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and said very seriously:

"Many years ago, a great ancestor said:

A nation without heroes is unfortunate, and a nation with heroes but does not know how to respect and cherish them is hopeless.

A country that has great figures but does not know how to support, love and admire them is a hopeless nation of slaves.

In them, I see heroes and hope.”

After hearing Ye Feng's words, they were stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

"A nation that has heroes but doesn't know how to respect and cherish them..." 2B murmured.

"…It's hopeless…" 9S muttered to himself.

Looking at their thoughtful expressions, Ye Feng said seriously again,

Another leader once said:

The heroic spirit of the world is still awe-inspiring!

A hopeful nation cannot be without heroes, and a promising country cannot be without pioneers.

All national heroes are the backbone of the nation. Their deeds and spirit are a powerful force that inspires the nation to move forward."

"Hero?" 2B's expression became more complicated.

Everyone in the kingdom was immersed in excitement and joy.

They knelt down to pay homage to the new king.

Ye Feng, 2B and 9S stood quietly by, witnessing this historic moment.

After a long time, peace gradually returned to the palace.

"correct."

Ye Feng reminded the generals,

"The rest should be fine. Please replace the parts for the king in time."

The mechanical generals thanked the three men again.

“Benefactors, we sincerely thank you.

From now on, you are the most special guests of our Forest Kingdom and will enjoy the highest courtesy of the kingdom."

9S helped the generals up and imitated Ye Feng's tone and said,

"There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony.

Can you take us to see the old king?"

"Please, benefactor."

……

Everyone came to the depths of the castle.

With a series of "crunching" sounds,

The heavy door in front of them was slowly pushed open and everyone walked in.

Looking around, there were vines entwined everywhere, and the ground, rocks, and tree trunks were covered with moss.

Suddenly, a moss-covered stone began to shake.

No, what was shaking was a medium-sized mechanical life form wearing armor and covered with moss.

He sat on a stone. No one knew how long he sat there. The moss on his body had long since merged with the moss on the stone and could no longer be distinguished.

Then, he quickly stood up, holding an iron shield and a spear that were also covered with moss, and slowly walked towards the crowd, muttering in a harsh voice,

"here it is……

The king's...tomb...

outsiders...

die……"

The three of them suddenly became confused.

At this moment, the Prime Minister mechanically stopped in front of him and shouted sternly,

"Stand back, Manfred Kuhn, these are the benefactors of our kingdom."

The armored machine called Kuhn did not stop, staring at everyone with hostility, muttering,

"Death...die...die..."

"They saved the king!" the Prime Minister said mechanically and sharply.

"King... King!" A gleam flashed in Kuhn's eyes, and he slowly turned around and returned to the stone where he had been sitting.

He straightened his back, stood up proudly, and stared into the distance motionlessly like a sculpture.

The sunlight shines on him, outlining his resolute and loyal figure.

"What a loyal guy!" 9S couldn't help but sigh.

"That's really admirable." 2B whispered.

"Like leader, like subordinates!" Ye Feng exclaimed.

When everyone reached the depths, the scene before them shocked and moved them.

In front of them was a huge mechanical life form. Its body had stopped functioning, half of its body was buried deep in the soil, and its entire body was covered with moss.

His upper body was exposed from the ground, and through the dense moss covering it, one could still see that the metal parts on the surface of his body were broken and the steel shell was covered with scars.

In front of him, there was a black tombstone, which was engraved with dense words, recording the life story of the king.

"king!"

The mechanical generals knelt in unison and bowed their heads to express their deep respect to their deceased king.
