Little Robot on the Run

Maybe it's the stars.

When Nan'an ran back, it started raining again in the city outside the base.

He watched the rain stained with neon light, and when he turned to look at the small stove, he was suddenly taken aback.

— When was the stove turned off?

Nan An frowned and thought carefully.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him—it was Lin Ze.He stopped not far away, folded his arms and said something to the researcher on the side.

Hearing the cold tone, Nan'an scratched his head, and quickly cleaned up the small kitchen without much hesitation.It would be over if he was seen by this big clean freak scientist.

When all this is done, by the way, put all the stolen cookies and chocolates into your mouth.

Nan'an put this omelet rice plus version into a lunch box.

He held the omelet rice in one hand and the rose bottle in the other, staggering left and right, walking towards Lin Ze.It can be seen that they are studying the fluctuations, the normal frequency is displayed on the screen, and there is nothing abnormal.

When Lin Ze finished dealing with the relevant matters and turned his head, he smiled brightly at Shang Nan'an's standard smile.

"Have you... eaten yet?" Nan'an put the omelet rice on the cardboard box beside him and said, "I made it."

After speaking, she stood obediently and looked at Lin Ze with wide eyes.

Lin Ze glanced at the omelet rice and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

Nan'an: "It's okay."

After a few seconds, I added another sentence: "Look at your hard work."

As soon as these words came out, Nan An himself was moved, he was simply an excellent migrant worker of the century.

Nan'an Satisfaction.jpg;

He dangled another cardboard box, which was slightly shorter than the previous one, and placed it on the right side of the box - facing the city street, and put the rose vase on it.

The moment he put it down, Nan An met Lin Ze's gaze.

In those cold eyes, it seemed that he didn't quite believe him.

Great.

They stared at each other for a few more seconds.

"That..." Nan'an thought carefully for a few seconds, and finally planned to have a showdown, then hummed softly, "I want to help the research institute."

Lin Ze folded his arms and looked at him: "What?"

"I want to adopt a puppy." Nan'an continued to lower his voice, but seeing that Lin Ze didn't respond, he lowered his voice and said, "Please."

He looked at Lin Ze in front of him, lowered his eyes after a few seconds, then raised them again, observing his expression with small eyes.

But no matter how you look at it, the great scientists in front of him were all expressionless, but when he said the second half of the sentence, the corners of his eyes raised a little, as if waiting for him to say this sentence.

At this moment, Lin Ze said: "The application has been submitted."

Nan An froze for a moment: "Huh?"

"In the afternoon, the application for No. 56 in the research area has been submitted." Lin Zedao, "The adoption of the mechanical puppies needs to be approved by me and the base at the same time."

Nan An was stunned for a few more seconds. He frowned, thought for a few seconds, and suddenly realized logic.

Yes.

Since this is a laboratory project, or the latest technology of the institute, Lin Ze will not be ignorant.It can even be said that Lin Ze may have received the relevant expression report the moment he clicked the application button.

Nan'an: "!!"

This human being did it on purpose!

Even though he knew what he wanted to say, he had to go through such a long psychological struggle, and let him be a little robot who watched words and emotions for so long.

Nan An was angry.

Now I really really don't want to pay attention to this big bad scientist.

Facing the cardboard box, he sat down in front of Lin Ze, was still angry when he picked up the silver spoon, and hummed twice in protest.

But the moment he waved the silver spoon, Lin Ze also sat down.

Nan'an immediately covered the omelet rice with both hands: "It's not for you."

When the words fell, he thought that Lin Ze had just said the application, and when the key approval right was still in the hands of the other party, Nanan softened instantly, and reluctantly, as if saying goodbye with tears, pushed the omelet rice forward push.

"Here you are." He whispered, "Can I agree now?"

The tone is pitiful, weak and helpless.

Lin Ze looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Eat."

"What about the puppies?" Nan'an asked.

"After the base has passed the approval, I will pick it up tomorrow."

"really?"

Lin Ze hummed lightly.

Nan'an was relieved for a moment. How should I put it, from the moment he saw it hurt, he felt that he had a destiny with this dog.

Thinking of this, Nan An let out a happy Yeh, no longer protecting the omelet rice with his little hands, and directly digging with a silver spoon, and started to gobble it up after a while.

However, after only taking a bite, he suddenly put down the silver spoon and said, "Can you tell me how I feel now?"

"what?"

"I feel a little surprised that such a technology can be developed." Nan'an whispered, "I thought you would directly object."

After all, this kind of technology is too dangerous for Nan'an as a robot.

Leaving aside his kind of bionic robots, the robot invasion in the apocalypse period before, and the robots now, the entire human society is constantly progressing, being impacted, and then struggling again on the road of technological advancement.

If it were him, he would definitely keep the original technology—such as simply implanting a robotic arm, or transplanting related chips.

If you choose to research and develop, and it is in the rose area, you will definitely take too many risks.

Lin Ze looked up at the boy in front of him.

He was still holding the silver spoon, and the omelet rice he was holding with one hand was covered with love hearts and roses, some of which had already been pasted together.Just like that, he opened his watery eyes and looked at himself.

"Sometimes." Lin Ze said suddenly, "I'm trying to reconcile with myself."

Nan An was taken aback: "What?"

Lin Ze didn't speak, but looked at the city on one side.

Under the rain, the purple neon lights on the street flickered, and the holographic projection emitted bright light.They are intermittent, but they are the whole of the whole city.

"Is it the reconciliation between technology and human beings?" Nan'an asked.

Lin Ze: "And myself."

Nan An was startled again.I don't know when he held a small silver knife in his little hand, just holding the handle of the knife with both hands, looking at Lin Ze: "And... myself?"

"Whenever technology needs to move forward, I try to reconcile with myself." Lin Ze said, "It's like this every time."

Nan An lowered his eyes and trembled his eyelashes slightly.

He knew the meaning of Lin Ze's words.

Those sealed past events, including the robot rules in "The Law of the Rose", all of these fell on him.

But human beings need to progress and become stronger, so someone has to make sacrifices.

Although no matter how you look at it, it is a cyclical false proposition.

Human beings need to develop in order not to eliminate the risk of being controlled by robots, but the development will also increase the corresponding danger, allowing robots to have their own consciousness and invade the existing human world.

In fact, in the restaurant at that time, when Nan An saw the respectful and distant eyes of the interns, he really wanted to walk over in front of them and give Lin Ze a hug.

Nan An really thought so.

But anyway, nothing makes sense now.

Nan An didn't say anything more, he looked at Lin Ze, and finally cut half of the omelet rice silently with a knife, and then pushed towards Lin Ze.

There are rows of robots beside them, and there is continuous rain and fog outside, as well as occasional flickering lights, which flicker and turn into dots in the fog, elongating their figures.

Lin Ze withdrew his gaze.

Seeing that Nan An shared the omelet rice, he put it on a brand new empty plate and pushed it towards him.

This is an indescribable feeling. He has never paid such attention to a person before—even now this boy is still defined as a suspect by the police department.

On the previous night, when he saw Nan An holding the "Rule of Roses" with thousands of rules he made on it, he felt that sometimes the reconciliation was not the relationship between him and technology.

More, there is a need to reconcile with the inevitable torrent of humanity.

But such an idea only appeared for a second before he denied it.

It is true that such an idea is very absurd. The development of science and technology must be intervened and controlled manually, and he must also shoulder such responsibilities.

"You..." Lin Ze paused for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "What do you think the world will be like in the end?"

Nan'an: "Huh?"

Maybe Lin Ze didn't expect to ask this question. He pouted the small silver spoon like a school cub with a pencil on his lips, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, he said slowly: "I think...the future human world will definitely be very nice."

Lin Ze looked at him: "Beautiful?"

"That's right." Nan'an smiled, and began to describe the future with his fingers: "In the future cities, under those reinforced concrete, there will be suspended trains, corridors, and neon lights, but people will no longer Because of the mutation of the chip, if there is any worry or uneasiness..."

"At that time, the street shops will be full of flowers, and people don't have to bargain with the shopkeepers for a piece of stinky meat, and then squat down to eat on the dirty street." Nan'an seemed to be completely silent in his own world, "At the same time, Robots are good, and they do what humans say. No chip infection, no robots, and no more—"

He paused for a second, and added softly: "There are no bionics."

A brief silence.

Nan An lowered his head and took a bite of omelet rice.

The taste is the same as usual, but for some reason, it seems that there is no simple and satisfied feeling like before.

The lights outside the base were still flickering, and the neon colors came from the rain and fog, dyed the rose glass bottle on their side, and then quietly climbed up every rose petal.

Amidst the sound of rain and the beeping of instruments running, Nan An ate without saying a word.

He held the silver spoon tightly, and his drooping eyelashes cast long shadows on his face.Just as he was about to scoop up another spoonful of omelet rice, he suddenly felt a hand covering his forehead.

Lin Ze ruffled his hair.

Nan An twitched her eyelashes again, but said nothing.He felt that the blunt movements of the scientist in front of him were unfamiliar, even a little unnatural, compared to his previous ones.

But Nan An felt that his heart was touched, so he raised his eyes and met those silver eyes directly.

Under the neon light, these eyes are even more clear and beautiful. In fact, many times, Nan An feels that glacier or melting snow cannot describe him.

If you really want to describe it, it might be stars, a few stars falling from the universe, shining brightly and gently.

They stared at each other for a few more seconds.

After a while, Nan'an whispered, "I'm going to continue eating."

Lin Ze: "Yes."

So Nan'an lowered his head, and ate the omelet rice with his head down like in the past.

He didn't know what Lin Ze was doing at this moment, he might be eating omelet rice like him, or he might just be watching him alone - but Nan'an couldn't control it anymore.

He took a few more bites.

There was a slight clash of silver spoons in front of him. Nanan knew that Lin Ze had also started to eat this dinner, which made him feel at ease. Hold it in the palm of your hand.

After the last bit of omelet rice was eaten, Nan An put down the silver spoon.

And when he wanted to ask Lin Ze if it was delicious, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, which was the sound of a spoon falling on the plate, and then the sound of a gun being loaded.

Nan'an looked up.

Seeing Lin Ze taking out his silver gun, his eyes were not as gentle as before, but as cold as ice.Just like that, the pitch-black muzzle was aimed at his back—the robot body that had already been powered off.
