Metamorphosis - Alien Adventures (5)
Mutani put his hand on it, then pressed the screen a few times with his other hand, and suddenly a bright light shone down from the top of his head, enveloping him inside. After a while, the place where the light came from turned blue; Kitani No. 2 motioned for me to go over and do what he had just done.
It turns out that this is to verify the identity, and it is set up to avoid the entry of disguised enemies, and everyone must pass through such a gate when passing through, because there are enemies who will turn into the people of Kitani and sneak in to wreak havoc.
After the medical examination, the door opened automatically, and there was a different scene in front of me. The Mugu people said that the outside is their manufacturing workshop, and this is their living area, and some other high-intelligence Mugu people stationed here are also in this place to command the entire base.
There are also green plants in it, but unlike the ones on earth, they are all bare-roded, and there is not a single leaf, so you can only distinguish different species from the thickness of the trunk and the skin.
After walking for a while, I came to a very empty place, and when I looked around, I found that there were some buildings all around, all of which were silver-gray and shining. I thought about it for a moment, we must have come along the corridor set up halfway up the waist outside the building, and now we finally entered it. These buildings are surrounded by a relatively small house in the center, and the No. 2 of the people of the valley said that it is the command room of the entire base, and if there are any special circumstances, the commander here will deploy and arrange there, but it is relatively secret, and ordinary people cannot enter it casually, even the people of the valley, unless they have the consent of the relevant staff. I understand, didn't you just tell me not to go in?
Not only did I not get in, but I didn't even dare to go in, but I just fiddled with an instrument on my wrist and said that someone would come to pick us up later. Before, I regarded the Mutani No. 2 as almost an omnipotent god, but now when I arrived at their base, I remembered that the wisdom of the Mokiti No. 2 was relatively low-level in their race.
The one who came to pick us up was a relatively tall Mugu man, and I called him Mugu Man No. 5. The second of the Mugu people had told me that their intelligence level was judged by their height and the smoothness of their heads, and that the higher the height and the smoother the head, the wisdom of the Mugu people was higher than that of the Kitani people who were short in stature and had a bumpy head. The Mutani in front of me looked like a highly intelligent person, as he was similar in appearance to the Mutani No. 1 I'd ever seen. We didn't go to the command room in the center, but went up from the edge of the complex to a very spacious room, which, like the buildings outside, was also silver-gray, and even the furnishings were silver-gray. I don't know if they'll get bored, but I hate it when it's the same color everywhere, and it looks lifeless, and I can't show any enthusiasm at all.
It seems that this is a special office room, the overall furnishings seem to be very regular, there is a big table in front of the door, and behind the table is facing us sits a round-headed Mugu man, it seems that he should be in charge here.
After talking to the round-headed Kitani in front of him for a moment in a voice I hadn't heard before, he crossed his arms over his chest and bowed to the Kitani man. Strangely, the round-headed people of Kitani didn't even move, and still sat there without looking back. I originally wanted to say hello to him like Kitani No. 2, but I couldn't see it even if I said hello, so I was exempted.
When Mugu No. 2 came out, he didn't greet him with polite words such as "I'm leaving" and "goodbye", but retreated straight out. Then we came to a very spacious hall, where everything was still silver-gray. Unlike the room just now, it was very lively, because there were a lot of Mugu people sitting next to the large round table, and it seemed that they were having a meeting. Ever since the second person of the Mutani injected me with that potion and temporarily turned my body into a flow ion, I seem to have become the same as them, I can speak without opening my mouth, and the other party can know what he is saying without opening my mouth, so now I can hear so many voices from the people of the Mutani in secret. It's just that what they're speaking now seems to be in a different language.
The Kitani II explains that they have two languages, one that is common to the entire universe and one that belongs to them; The meeting was held in a language of their own invention, which contained a very large vocabulary and could summarize a lot of information in one sentence.
The second of the Mutani people asked me to sit on a chair in a corner, and he went to the crowd of Mutani.
It's not accurate to say that it's a chair, it's more like the operating table of the dentist in our earthling hospital, the kind that allows the patient to lie on it and extract teeth, with many robotic arms around. As soon as I sat down, a robotic arm reached over with a glass of water at the end. I understood that this must be a chair of service.
As soon as he finished drinking the water, the mechanical arm that handed the water just now reached over again and gently took the empty cup away. I thought it must be a robot, but I couldn't find anything like a camera, a display screen, or how it knew I had run out of water.
I was amazed not only by its timeliness, but also by its lightness. When a cold-looking robotic hand comes to pick up something, it is not only as flexible as a human hand, but also just as good as a human hand, knowing where your hand is pinching the cup, even if your hand moves a little while it is coming to pick up the cup, as if it has eyes on it. As soon as this hand took the empty cup away, the other mechanical arm immediately handed over a towel-like thing, with a faint aroma, probably used to wipe the mouth, so I used it to wipe the mouth.
I had just taken the towel away when my third hand came over and touched me back and forth; At first, I was startled, thinking that the machine was malfunctioning, but later I found out that in fact, the hand touched it regularly, and it touched some acupuncture points, and it felt very accurate.
As soon as the massage was over, another robotic arm reached over, and on it was something like a gamepad, covered with a mess of buttons of various colors, and then another helmet was put on my head. I figured it out, it must have wanted me to be entertained, just like the guys I saw in the transparent man's room before. It's just that when I just arrived here, the whole person seemed very tired and wanted to take a break, but this guy actually made another arrangement for me one after another, which was really annoying.
I wanted to walk away, but seeing that there was only this one chair here, I had to be at the mercy of it.
After the second person from the valley came, I told him what had just happened, his two eyes narrowed into a slit again, and then patted his head, saying that he forgot to explain to me, that chair can accept instructions from the outside world, it will do whatever you want it to do, and if you tell it to stop, it will stop; If there are no instructions from the outside world, it will continue to work according to the program set inside. In this way, if the second of the Mutani people doesn't come, it will let me eat, let me wash my face and brush my teeth, and let me sleep.
As I went out and passed through the hall, the crowd had dispersed, and I felt that the atmosphere was tense as several people sat together in groups to discuss something. So after leaving the hall, I asked Mugu No. 2 if there was a major accident at the base?
The people of the valley said that it was their enemies, the Witters, who had come here to provoke them, and were stationed on a nearby asteroid.
I asked uneasily, is there a war between you?
Mugu No. 2 seemed to see through my thoughts, and comforted me and said that it was nothing, it was none of our business, but now we have to delay it a little.
I asked them if they should use a lot of weapons and troops to fight? Will it be as bloody as in a science fiction movie? The people of Mutani say that their war with the Witt is nothing more than a battle of robots, and that there is no need for a human army; People only need to sit in the control room and control the robots that are sent out.
The people of Muya say that the beings in their intelligent class have only two purposes for fighting wars, one is to prove that their own race is more intelligent than another, and the other is to destroy the other race. The people of the Mutani say that they belong to the former with the Wit, and although the situation between them was the latter before, the form has changed recently; Now what they have to do is to prove that their wisdom is higher than that of the other party, no matter what means you use; But at least one thing is that they will never use weapons such as guns and cannons again, the lowest weapons are biological and chemical weapons, in addition to electronic weapons and other weapons with jamming functions, nuclear weapons have been banned in the universe.
The so-called electronic weapons are to try to use radio waves, rays, programs, etc. to attack the opponent's robots, so that they are ineffective or paralyzed. In the past, Mugu Ren No. 1 went to our earth to find an element to make biological weapons, and once it was successfully made and launched, it would make the enemy lose its nature and then kill each other.
Kitani II says it's a relatively "vile" weapon that won't be used in a normal war, unless the opponent really intends to cut the grass and eradicate it.
The war would be fought for some time to come, and all the people of the Kitani were actively preparing. According to the words of the Kitani No. 2, when the time comes, they only need to observe the entire battle from the side like playing a game, and they don't need to be on the battlefield at all. Although I felt very cold when I first came here, I have fully adapted to it now, and I don't feel any difference from the temperature of our earth.
This planet, like the previous three planets, has no distinction between day and night, and has no concept of time. I don't know if they don't need time or if the idea of time already exists in their heads. Maybe the latter is more likely, but their timing method is estimated to be different from ours, and I haven't learned about it yet.
Everyone knows that my old pig is a person who doesn't like to use his brain, so there are more questions, along the way through these planets, I asked Mu Gu people No. 2 questions, basically he can explain to me very patiently, saying why this is why; But there are exceptions, that is, when I ask some questions that seem to give him a headache, such as time problems, human life problems, etc., whenever I ask these questions, he either roughly brings, or avoids answering, I think he must be afraid of trouble, it is estimated that he can't say it for a while, or according to my old pig's intelligence, some theories are not understood by me at all, maybe the latter is more likely. So to this day I still don't know why they don't use time to calculate the length of their lives.
I followed the No. 2 of the Wood Valley to the assembly workshop outside—because I didn't know what to call that place, I called it the assembly workshop by using it as a workshop; Everyone seemed to be very busy, their movements were as smooth as flowing water, and they seemed to feel very comfortable, as if they were admiring a work of art in motion. The people of Mugu say that they will sort out the details of the whole process before doing things, then record them in their heads, and then optimize them after analysis, so as to save time and effort. It's as if they've burned the whole process in their minds like a computer program, and now they're just following the program.
I have to admire their wisdom, like a machine many times larger than the Mugu people themselves, it needs to be composed of thousands of parts, if we want to put our technology aside, it will take at least a few days, plus debugging, but the Mugu people can get it done in a few minutes, and then it only takes a few minutes to check it, and it is still a single person operation. Of course, they don't pay attention to time, as long as they feel that the time is ripe, they will do it, but I can still vaguely feel the existence of time, I don't know if time originally exists in our memory, and there is no need to deliberately look for it.
I asked Mugu No. 2, how wide is this workshop? How tall? The people of Kitani told me that they could not measure this place by width, because the "workshop" was distributed on a surface similar to a "circle".
Round?
That's right! It is equivalent to a small planet in this planet, and it can only be said how big it is. However, its area can be changed at will, depending on the size of the war.
So they're all attached by some kind of gravitational pull? The second of the Mugu people nodded in agreement.
The war was fought in the coming period. All the people of Mugu are gathered in a fully transparent room, and the whole outside can be observed. It looks like it's on a relatively high place, as if it's hanging in mid-air, but you can't see what's supporting it underneath. The Mutani-2 said that this was the equivalent of a small spaceship, and that even if the entire planet was destroyed, they would still be safe and sound.
Didn't I say that it was only limited to wisdom, and could not be cut down to the roots?
Do many of you earthlings have such a saying, "You must not have the intention of harming others"? What's next?
The heart of defense is indispensable.
Understood, they were afraid that the enemy would release their pigeons.
When the robots below are fighting, each of the people of Mugu wears a helmet on their heads like the one they need to wear to play games and watch TV, and they also sit on a chair that looks very magnificent, and there are various buttons and joysticks on the armrests of the chair, the only difference with science fiction movies is that there is no display screen in front of them to show the status of the entire war, and the second person of Mugu said that the helmet is equivalent to an all-round screen, The person wearing it is able to observe everything that is happening on the battlefield as if they were actually there. The entire observation room is like a large game room, where many people of Mutani are engaged in a battle of wits against the enemy; The biggest difference between the wars here is that the defeated side still has a chance to make amends, because their heads are still on their necks.
The robots on both sides of the war look pretty much the same, as if they were all made out of one mold, but they are distinguished by color, and they are fighting to the death outside. The people of Mugu say that although they look similar, they have completely different functions; For example, some races can only be equipped with ten functions, but some races can be equipped with thirty functions; For example, although some races of robots only have ten functions, but each function poses a fatal threat to the enemy, then no matter how many opponents there are, it will not help; For example, if the functions of the two sides are comparable, but each function of one side is aimed at each function of the other side, and if the "water comes to cover the army to block", then winning or losing is self-evident......
I asked if the Kitani 2 had a similar war? He looked a little embarrassed, narrowed his eyes, and said that a wise Mugu person like him could only do some relatively low-level, odd work, which was not enough to compare with the wisdom of the other party; Those who participate in this kind of war are generally those of their race who are relatively intelligent, and as for those who are extremely intelligent, they disdain to participate.
As he spoke, one of the robots on the side of the Muya people suddenly collapsed, bursting with sparks all over its body, and then collapsed. The robot was tall and burly, and it seemed to be the main force in the battle team. Just as I was feeling sorry for the loss of such a powerful team member of the Mugu people, something unexpected happened to me: the machine parts that had been broken apart suddenly became active the moment they landed, and continued to march in the direction of the enemy, and as they advanced, they deployed in a very organized formation. Kitani 2 says that the robot can act autonomously after the parent robot is defeated, and then complete the task; And they can also be transformed into corresponding suitable weapons according to the opponent's attack methods, so as to achieve the purpose of overcoming rigidity with softness and dominating big with small.
