Yang Chao and Lao Jiu

In the vast sea, although there is no wind, the sea surface is constantly undulating, like the chest of a giant breathing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a black object, out of step with the pale blue sea, gently undulating up and down.

The black object was two feet wide and three feet long, with irregular torn edges, reminiscent of a shipwreck torn apart by a storm.

It was indeed a ship, but it was not a ship, but a starship that sailed the sea of stars.

"Uh, nice weather!"

Suddenly, a capsule floated up from under the wreckage, and after the hatch opened, a man walked out, looked at the sea and the sun, and sighed.

This person is called Yang Chao, originally a character, he was born in the 21st century in southern China, grew up in the era of the rise of the tide, when he was young, he went to France to study, is an early batch of foreign students after the opening up, after returning to China, engaged in international trade, first worked in a multinational company, and then opened his own company to work alone, at the age of 50 has been sitting on hundreds of millions of assets, won countless honors, is a successful person.

But what is depressing is that after a party with friends, maybe it is because of the reunion of friends after a long absence, maybe it is in front of the first love that he finally figured out the breath that was dumped at the beginning, he drank a little too much, and insisted on driving by himself after drinking, and the person who still drives after drinking is really drunk, otherwise he will never drive.

Out of the most famous hotel in the city, all the way to the villa in the middle of the city outside the city, he saw a shining trail in the sky, the ghost and god drove after him, he chased not a meteor, but a spaceship wandering in the sky of the earth, an alien research ship.

Then, he was captured, and in extreme shock and fear, signed a statement to visit an alien galaxy.

Soon the alien spacecraft flew out of the sky, but the exploration was not over, and the spacecraft was swept into the suddenly distorted space-time crack when it was exploring the possibility of building a space-time wormhole in the nearest black hole to the earth.

Yang Chao woke up and found himself drifting on a sea, he didn't know where he was, but fortunately he learned that he was still on Earth, and he was lucky to be in the waters of China.

"Hey, what did you find?"

Yang Chao walked up to the wreckage and said to the hardcover watch on his left wrist.

This is his watch, but it is no longer the original watch, it is a watch that has been modified by aliens, and it still looks like a low-key and luxurious mechanical watch, but in the core is extremely sophisticated interstellar technology components and chips.

With Yang Chao's inquiry, a projection immediately appeared on the watch, and a robot monster that was moving with three sets of nine mechanical claws appeared at the bottom of the pitch black sea.

"While you were sleeping, Rescue Robot 09 found thirty-five specimens, seventy vials of samples, and one-third of the body fragments!"

The mechanical voice on the watch is preached in the standard Mandarin of later generations, except for the absence of subdued emphasis, as if it were a living person.

But apparently it couldn't be a living person, the mechanical monster called itself Rescue Robot 09, a robot on the ship that was responsible for emergency rescue.

According to the robot, their ship accidentally fell into a space-time rift.

A space-time rift is a cosmic phenomenon that eventually erupts due to long-term distortion and aggregation of gravity, and mostly occurs near unstable black holes.

Yang Chao is not professional in this kind of thing, so he doesn't understand it half-well, he only knows that after the spacecraft fell into the space-time rift, it was quickly damaged by the huge gravity of the spacecraft, and after assessing that the spacecraft could not support it, the two aliens abandoned Yang Chao very unjustly and escaped alone in a life-saving device.

Fortunately, although the spaceship was finally destroyed by the space-time rift, Yang Chao was lucky to survive, perhaps thanks to the good protection measures in the sleep capsule, he was not affected during the spacecraft crossing the rift, and finally fell to this place with the ship's wreckage.

"Don't mention those specimens to me!"

Yang Chao scolded angrily, and as soon as he mentioned those specimens, Yang Chao had a feeling of chills on his body.

Because those specimens are animal and plant specimens, small insects and so on are completely made into specimens and preserved, and large animals, such as tigers and lions, are all slices of muscles, bones and other parts.

Later, Yang Chao figured out that he encountered a research ship of an alien galactic civilization exploring the universe, and they collected samples of living beings everywhere.

Looking at those specimens, Yang Chao felt that he seemed to be a similar existence, a sample to be pulled back by aliens for study.

As for why the aliens didn't make Yang Chao into a specimen, the robot explained that it was a requirement of the interstellar covenant and that intelligent beings could not be harmed at will, obviously the two aliens complied with the interstellar convention, or that their moral level was high enough, but this still could not soothe Yang Chao's wounded heart.

Yang Chao now just wants to hurry back to the land, and then enjoy the beauties and delicious food, and enjoy everything that he didn't have time to enjoy in the first half of his life.

But: "The engine, uh, is the power plant did you find it?" ”

But where is it now, this rescue robot can't say, because he is not a computing robot, only simple computing power, according to the position of the star, he calculates that it is already the limit in Chinese waters.

China's sea area is extremely vast, not every ocean has ships passing by, anyway, I haven't seen a ship for several days, so Yang Chao judged that he was not on the route, so if he wants to return to land, maybe he can only rely on this spaceship, I only hope that the robot can repair the spaceship, at least it can make the spaceship move simply, and it will have to float back.

"Rescue robot 09 did not find a power plant."

The robot replied in an emotionless voice.

Yang Chao suddenly became irritable.

Without a power plant, you can't move now, at least not for long distances, and you can't get back to shore.

"Don't keep being the No. 09 rescue robot, the No. 09 rescue robot is called, talk to me and call you me!"

"Rescue Robot 09 received the order and began to modify the naming procedure..."

The mechanical sound rang out again.

After the two aliens escaped, Yang Chao became the actual owner of the ship, to be precise, the actual owner of the wreckage, and had temporary domination over the robot, although the robot said that if the captain and deputy returned to the ship, Yang Chao's dominance could be recovered.

But the devil knows where the two aliens fled, so Yang Chao used his temporary power as much as possible, and his most urgent thing was to repair the spaceship.

"Didi, 'I' found the computer parts of the spaceship Zhu, and judged that the mechanical part is complete, and the computing power can be expanded after it is turned on, please ask the acting captain if it is turned on?"

After a long time, the robot spoke again, this time calling itself "me".

Yang Chao didn't know what the robot meant, so he asked a few words first:

"What does it do when it's turned on?"

The robot explained: "After turning it on, my computing power will be greatly increased, and I can perform more advanced calculations, and I expect to be able to accurately calculate the current geographical location." ”

Yang Chao thought about it in his heart, his current understanding of this robot is that this is an artificial intelligence in science fiction movies and novels, to be precise, it is a computer-controlled robot, the program is very complete, and it can talk to humans through language, but in fact, his conversations are all in the database, and he only answers according to the needs of human beings, and he does not have the ability to think at all, that is, if it weren't for Yang Chao being alive and having been ordering him to do things, He will sleep motionless like a piece of scrap metal at the bottom of the sea.

There were originally ten robots like 09 on the spacecraft, each with different roles, some responsible for detection, some responsible for rescue, and some responsible for maintenance, but only this one was intact.

Therefore, this spaceship is actually only left with Yang Chao and this No. 09 robot to survive, plus the past few days of getting along, although he knows that the other party is just a bunch of computer components and rigid programs, but a machine that can talk to himself, Yang Chao has never been able to treat the other party as a machine emotionally, and an inexplicable relationship has been established.

Thinking of the common scenes in the movie, Yang Chao asked with some worry: "Then will you disappear?" Will it be replaced? I mean will your program be overwritten? ”

In Yang Chao's imagination, there must be a program hidden in the extraordinary computing components, perhaps a more powerful program, the program is like a human soul to the robot, if the program is replaced, does it mean that a person has been replaced? Although it is funny, it is still a little difficult to accept emotionally.

"Report to the acting captain, the spaceship control program is the same program, but the computing power is different in different computing hardware."

Well, Yang Chao is too worried, or rather blindly worried, this is indeed a machine and not a person.

"Let's turn it on!"

Yang Chao commanded with some frustration, once again feeling that he was talking to a machine, not a person.

"Didi, Didi!"

With the sound of Didi, after a long time, the robot's voice sounded again.

"The central computer starts, and the No. 03 robot signal is received!"

When the central computer was turned on, an unexpected harvest was received, and another robot was discovered, and the No. 03 robot was a detection robot.

After some inquiry, Yang Chao found that the location of the No. 03 robot was not far, about five nautical miles away, and after learning that the detection robot could better measure the terrain, Yang Chao asked No. 09 to find No. 03 back.

Unfortunately, only part of the wreckage of No. 03 remained, and its functionality was greatly limited.

But through the residual information of the No. 03 robot, the 01 robot was found, which is the most powerful robot, because No. 01 is the robot responsible for repair, according to No. 09, the No. 01 robot can repair most of the damage of the spaceship, and has an extremely powerful repair ability, in interstellar navigation, the spacecraft will inevitably be injured, as long as it lands on a planet with suitable minerals or even a meteorite, the spacecraft can also be slowly repaired through the elements contained in the meteorite.

The discovery of No. 01 greatly increased Yang Chao's hope, and he immediately ordered No. 09 to bring No. 01 back.

……

It's already dark.

But there was a mesmerizing arc of light from the surface of the sea, accompanied by a sizzling sound, and a white mist rising next to the wreckage of the ship.

The damage to the 01 robot was great, but the most important core component was there, and after 09 activated this part, a simple repair of the ship's wreckage began immediately.

The strength of this part is beyond Yang Chao's imagination, because this is a part similar to a 3D printer on earth, but it is far more powerful than a 3D printer, because it can print at the atomic level, and it also has the ability to extract elements, which is why the 01 robot can repair the spaceship.

Now the 09 robot is using this repair part to extract some metallic and non-metallic elements from seawater, and to dock and weld the shipwreckage that can now be found.

The sea has the vast majority of the elements that can be found on Earth, and 09 also says that it contains all the elements of the ship's machine, so it can be said that now 09 can repair the ship.

But unfortunately, only the shell is included, and as for the core power plant, even if the 01 robot is intact, it can't be done, because it is the same as the fighter engine on Earth, which is the most advanced technology and must be manufactured and repaired in the most advanced interstellar factory.

"You said we could float to shore after it was repaired?"

"Report to the Acting Captain, according to the calculations, according to the T3 planet unit of measurement, this place is a hundred nautical miles from the nearest coast. If the wind direction is right, it is possible. ”

Planet T3 is the Earth in the mouth of robot 09, and the aliens have named the sun T star, and the Earth is the third closest to the sun, so it is named T3 planet.

"I said, don't you always act as an agent, can't you just call me captain?"

Yang Chao felt a little harsh about calling him the acting captain, as if he was reminding him that he was just a temporary worker at any time.

"No way!"

No. 09 replied simply, while not forgetting to explain: "According to the interstellar navigation regulations, positions cannot be changed at will. ”

This is the same as the mayor and deputy mayor of later generations, the difference of one word cannot be changed casually.

Yang Chao gave up: "Okay." Then you can change the name instead of the head office. Acting Captain should be the position, and I don't mind you using other words to call me who I am. ”

Route 09: "According to the navigation regulations, other pronouns may be used to refer to the target. ”

Yang Chao said: "Then you call me the commander." This is the word of the earth, so I don't think I'm going to rush it. ”

Yang Chao thought in his heart, although it was just a wreckage, it was an interstellar spaceship, and it was also very attractive to be an extraordinary commander of the interstellar spaceship, much better than the title of any captain.

No. 09 said: "You must state that this word does not mean job information in any sense, otherwise according to the semantics of Planet T3, this word is interchangeable with the word captain under the current circumstances." ”

Yang Chao said helplessly: "Okay." I would like to declare for the record that the Commander is a reference to my name and does not contain any information about his position. ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but think that when he was still drunk and frightened by aliens, his brain was in chaos, and he also made a statement, which was a statement of voluntarily visiting their planet, and later realized that it was the aliens who wanted to kidnap Yang Chao's research, but because the interstellar convention could not harm Yang Chao's life to make a specimen, the superficial procedure made was an opportunistic way to bypass the law.

But this proves that this alien civilization is very rigid about enforcing the law, and aliens are like this, not to mention their robots.

"The naming procedure is complete. I can now call you Commander. ”

At this time, Yang Chao no longer had the coolness of fantasizing about being a commander.

But Yang Chao had a new idea: "Okay. I think I should also change your name, well, you are the No. 09 rescue robot, so let's call you Lao Jiu in the future. ”

The robot said: "You are sure to rename 'me' to 'Lao Jiu'." ”

The robot's statement made Yang Chao a little painful, he forgot that he had just asked the robot to call itself "I", that is, he had already renamed the robot "I", this is indeed a machine, without the slightest thinking ability.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

With Yang Chao's understanding of this robot, if he is asked to change his name again, he will definitely call himself "Lao Jiu" in his future conversations with Yang Chao, instead of using the word "I", which will make people feel more uncomfortable.

"But when I call 'Lao Jiu', I'm actually calling you, you know."

The robot said, "Understood." In my naming, 'I' and 'Lao Jiu' are equivalent. ”

Yang Chao continued to be in pain, but he was also idle, because repair was not an overnight thing, and he really couldn't find anything to do for the time being.

Except for having nothing to do with the robot, or instructing Lao Jiu to catch a fish to eat, he was imagining what would happen after returning to China.

After more than ten days of boring repairs, Lao Jiu finally repaired the hull of the spaceship, this is an interstellar spaceship, and land, sea and air amphibious are a must.

Of course, without the power system, there are only other ways to move, Lao Jiu's way is to make a metal sail and use the sea breeze to reach the best bay nearby.

Yang Chao quietly got out of the flying saucer-shaped spaceship, and quietly landed on the shore alone, with an excited look in his heart, thinking that he would bring an interstellar spaceship home, once it was known by outsiders, it would definitely shock the world, and Yang Chao was still a little entangled in whether to dedicate such advanced civilization and technology to the country.
