(A remastered version of a short story, a short story told by a friend.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info seems to be a stalk in a novel, so I won't go back. They are divided into front, middle and back, the first part is pure reference, and the middle and second part are innovation. ）

01

Far away in the galaxy, there is a separate planet. It's full of alien zergs. Because the rock contains huge ores.

Humans have sent hordes of robots to the planet to fight the alien Zerg and seize the ore.

At first, robots couldn't beat the Zerg, but later humans invented artificial intelligence.

Robots are getting smarter and smarter, and they know how to think about repairing their bodies.

02

One day, the Zerg attacked a small force. Of course, this happens from time to time, and the notebook with the new energy data is handed over by the engineer to a machine gunner: "Run, take the data to a safe place." Connect to the internet to upload. ”

These were the Engineer's last words, and the Zerg's raze-sharp claws took the Engineer's life.

The Heavy finished firing his last cartridge and fled into the distance.

03

A secluded cave, the machine gunners modified their own lines. Hooked himself into the notebook.

At this moment the machine gunner was stupid, and something on the Internet opened another door for him.

The Heavy removed the laptop's network card and some parts and soldered them to the back of his head, leaving the laptop's hard drive.

The Heavy relied on the map he had memorized in his notebook to return to the human base camp.

The engineer learned that it was a machine gunner returning from the battlefield and joined the formation.

This particular machine gunner fights hard during the day and at night relies on his own private battery to connect his CPU brain to a network card to the Internet.

04

The Heavy downloaded a chat app, and he curiously shook a chat window. Across the window is a 16-year-old little girl from Earth.

It just so happens that the night on this planet is the day on Earth.

"It's strange, uncle, your location is unknown. And there is no ID. The girl spoke.

"I'm on an alien planet."

"Don't be kidding, uncle, aren't you a very good hacker. ”

"I'm a machine gunner. ”

"Uncle, you're so interesting. Both are 27 years old. ”

"That's my production date"

"Don't make a fuss, okay!"

"It's all true"

。。。。。。

05

In this way, the machine gunners fought with the Zerg for ore resources during the day, and chatted with the little girl of the earth at night.

"Hey. Uncle, do you like me?"

"What is a like?"

"Don't mess with uncle, don't like how I talk to me for a long time. Say, uncle, you must like people. ”

"I don't know"

"Eh, uncle, you can't be like this. Deceive people's feelings. People are going to ignore you. ”

The little girl went offline.

06

The next day, the base camp was discovered by the Zerg. Swarms of insects flew over the base.

The engineer said, "We're done, I'm still young." All the robots went to the front line to fight. ”

The special machine gunner understood what and connected to the Internet.

Late at night, the girl noticed that the message was flashing.

"I'm dying. ”

"Uncle, are you kidding? Don't you like it anymore and want to find an excuse to leave me?"

"No, the Zerg have discovered our base. We're probably all going to die here. ”

"What's wrong?" the little girl sent.

The Heavy does not have a voice system, only a microphone on a laptop. But this time he pressed OK.

The sound of the bombardment of various machine-gun artillery was accompanied by the howl of the Zerg sound waves.

07

"That's amazing, uncle, you must be a hacker. Why don't you speak?"

"I don't have a horn, I can't speak... ”

"Uncle, don't play, okay?"

"Wait, I'm dying, I'm out of ammo. ”

。。。

Massive claws pierced the Heavy Soldier's body, tearing open its limbs. Battery fluid flowed out.

"No, my drive was broken by the Zerg. Electricity is less than one percent. I see, I like you, but I'm going to die"

These were the machine gunner's last words, and the little girl looked at the avatar opposite her and darkened.

A day, a week, a month. The avatar has never been lit up. The little girl has grown up, but she has never deleted this uncle whose ID is called Machine Gunner.

The little girl understood but didn't understand, who was this machine gunner, and what purpose?
