Chapter I
"This world was born for you—"
Article 1300: A person who has lost the master's custody shall be immediately destroyed.
"Not enough fuel! Low on fuel! ”
"The tail of the cabin is damaged by 65%, please send a technician to repair it immediately!"
"The spacecraft is about to leave the meteorite belt, before the official notice, please do not untie the straps on your bodies, thank you for your cooperation."
The lights inside the pod have turned red for critical danger warnings, and sirens, mechanical male voices, and sweet female human voices intertwine to create a scene of utter chaos.
It stands to reason that in this case, the so-called spaceship should have been in chaos at this time, shrouded in dying despair, and people were struggling needlessly, letting out dying screams......
And yet nothing.
The spacecraft was very quiet, and the only five "humans" in the cabin were working together in an orderly manner, four of them were checking the various indices of the hull through the guò control zhì platform, and the leader said a word quietly after reading the number reports reported by others.
"Sigma used to plug holes in the roof." His voice was very cold, mechanical.
"Yes." He was replied to by an equally cold, stiff mechanical voice.
The man known as Sigma then drifted in the direction of the most chaotic cabin. Due to the extensive damage to the tail, the parts of the ship are flying out of the cabin at a rapid pace. The precious air inside the ship is leaking from here at a rapid pace, and if it continues like this, normal humans in the cabin will surely die!
However, the "humanoids" who are now standing quietly in the spaceship and working calmly are not really human.
Although they also have heads and limbs, they are completely different from the heads and limbs of humans, the whole body is glowing with a dark metallic luster, and the position of ordinary human eyes is replaced by a ghostly screen.
They are machine qì people.
"Sigma used to plug holes in the roof." - Humans don't take orders lightly, but the man named Sigma accepted them without hesitation.
Carefully dodging all the impacts poured in, it took 0.00003 seconds for the machine named Sigma to quickly find the damage in the stern, determine the location and size of the damage, he immediately touched the repair room along the bulkhead, and found that the repair tools inside had already flown out of the cabin, and Sigma's ghostly screen instantly went black.
I couldn't find the materials to repair it, but I had to complete the task assigned by my companion.
The ghost screen flickered a few frames, and Sigma came up with a solution: he quickly removed his legs!
Their bodies are made of extremely special metal welded seamlessly, and the way to open this metal skin is only known to the machine itself except for the person who made it.
Sigma's mind quickly calculated the required area of steel when he decided on the plan, and in order to piece together enough materials to repair the hole in the space capsule, Sigma sacrificed his two legs and hips in total.
This kind of metal used for the machine qì person itself has a good adhesion, and as soon as Sigma applies the patch he has made, the patch automatically fits with the surrounding metal.
The patch of Sigma's thigh was sittingly attached to the stern of the cabin, like a silver band-aid.
"Mission complete." After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Sigma replied to his companion who was waiting in the control compartment.
"Roger." The ghostly light screen of the head of the machine flickered, and when he replied, his operation on the control platform did not stop at all, because the speed was so fast, that his hands on the control platform looked completely illusory.
The intelligent brain system of this spaceship and the intelligent brains of all the people are in a state of resource sharing, so through the information constantly fed back to the people by the spaceship system, they can clearly "see" the scene outside the cabin.
Meteorites of all sizes drifted around the spaceship, and with them floated in the universe, countless broken shipbuilding wreckage.
Louis I, known in history as the "Scepter of God", was buried here.
Hundreds of years ago, when the invincible Emperor Xià passed here, it coincided with a once-in-a-lifetime constellation explosion, and the Emperor and his escorts were all drowned in the explosion that affected the entire universe, in addition, the most famous cosmic idol of the time was also lost in that explosion, after that, countless explorers and pilgrims came here in an endless stream to worship, eager to find the clues of the past, but the majesty of the emperor may really be untouchable, The poisonous mist and planetary debris from the explosion filled the entire area, and none of the expeditions that went here could explore even deeper, and as a result, no one wanted to come near this place anymore.
In the long years that followed, due to the influence of the cosmic monsoon and the gravitational pull after the explosion, more meteorites and space junk were gathered here, and no one had ever measured the actual area of this meteorite belt on the spot, and could only estimate the approximate number of 9 trillion kilometers in a radius.
No one lives here, and this is already a real mausoleum.
Tomb of the Emperors of the Dead Sea - this is the unified name of this place on the current version of the interstellar navigation map.
The efficiency of several people working together is terrifying, and in the death zone densely packed with meteorites, the small spaceship they took avoided 99% of the meteorite impacts!
It's nothing short of a miracle!
However, the ship's energy is running out, and their luck is almost unsustainable.
Sigma propped up the upper half of his body with his movable arms, and he carefully closed the window, the part of the ghost screen facing the infinite universe outside the window, and his ghost screen glowed with a different color from time to time.
As a man on the way to escape as soon as he turned on the plane, he had never seen anything in his extremely short life except for his companions on the spaceship. Even a meteorite that could shatter them was something new to him.
Sigma looked out the window for a while, and he noticed a small blue stone on the edge of the window, there was no such thing on the ship, this stone was probably a meteorite fragment that had just leaked in, right?
The young man happily put the stone carefully into the storage space under his belly.
Sigma was still exploring the world, but his companions were stunned.
"There's only 0.1% of fuel left, warning! Meteorites can no longer be expelled. A man with the word "π (pie)" printed on his back suddenly spoke.
"According to Article 1300, there are only fifty-eight minutes and thirty seconds left before our internal self-destruct program starts." This time, the person who spoke had a "η (Eta)" printed on his cheek.
The leader of the machine finally stopped the phantom movement of his palm.
As a result, people can finally see the letters A (alpha) engraved on the palm of his left hand.
I just don't want to be destroyed.
Created by humans, they have been working hard to carry out the tasks given to them by humans, until one day, they suddenly heard the news that they were about to be destroyed.
The reason is that the intelligence and force of the "Interstellar Death Alphabet" series are beyond the control of human beings, and for the sake of pan-human security, intelligence should be uniformly destroyed, and the fuselage should be used to make other tools that are more conducive to people's livelihood.
So the alpha and they fled.
Not only did he escape, but he also brought his companion Sigma with him, who hadn't had time to turn on the camera yet.
I just don't want to be torn down and turned into a mess or something;
I just don't want to disappear like this;
I just don't want to "die".
The ghostly screen flashed a faint red light, and Alpha did not make any moves. The warning countdown in his body, which represented the initiation of the self-destruct program, had begun to sound, and he gave up his resistance.
All the people were like him, they were no longer tired, on the contrary, like Sigma, they began to look curiously at the starry sky outside the window.
In addition to the identity of the machine, they have the ability to think for themselves, they are actually just a few years old, and they are full of curiosity to explore the strange world.
However! At this time-
As if God was favoring, a huge meteorite in front of him, which was almost the size of a spaceship, suddenly turned away, and the mysterious area shrouded by the meteorite belt and had never been discovered by the world was unveiled to several people!
"The spaceship is out of the meteorite belt! The spaceship is out of the meteorite belt! Discover an unknown planet ahead! Discover an unknown planet ahead! Please confirm if there is an emergency landing? Please confirm if there is an emergency landing? ”
After the important announcement was broadcast twice in a row, Alpha immediately took control of the ship again.
"Emergency landing confirmed!"
After the cold mechanical voice issued the next order, the machine qì who was still by the window quickly returned to its original position, and the tattered spaceship used its last strength to sail towards the gray planet in the distance.
Rushing into the atmosphere, several of the planes ran out of energy on the way to land, and after the ragged planes climbed out of the equally tattered spacecraft, they crashed for a few seconds for what they "saw" in front of their "eyes".
Deserted to a dime of land, they saw a little boy.
A little boy with an open mouth and a runny nose looking at them stupidly.
Oh, my God! It's a human being!
Seeing a group of people with terrible faces, missing arms and legs (← Sigma who hadn't put their legs back together), the little guy's eyes quickly filled with two bubbles of tears.
Finished! He's hurt, he's afraid!
The ghostly light screen of several people flashed with a warning red light.
Tears grew bigger and bigger in the boy's eyes, and finally, his big eyes could no longer bear the weight of tears, and the tears fell from his thin cheeks.
However, as tears fell, a big smile appeared on the little boy's face.
"Dad, you're back!"
The little short legs ran fast, and the little guy softly hugged the cold and hard calves of Alpha.
