Chapter 49: Memories of the Laboratory

Looking at the barrel-shaped robot, Masao Sakura fell into memory again.

……

At that time, he and Yuko had just completed the demo development of the first version of the "ProjectDIVA" program.

The father and daughter wanted to try to make the program "come alive", so they worked sonorously for a week in the experimental workshop of the singer company to build this Android big iron bucket.

They then implanted the program into the integrated chip processor at the robot's head.

Once everything is in place, the experiment begins.

Yuko hit the enter key on the computer, and in the eyes of the father and daughter, the Android robot's eyes lit up, and the sound of the electric motor running in the joints began to sound in its body.

Yuko shouted excitedly, "Dad, it's moving!" ”

With that, she ran to the robot. The robot's electronic camera saw Yuko approaching, and the mechanical arm suddenly and slowly lifted up, and there was a creaking sound at the joints.

Seeing that the robot's huge mechanical arm was about to touch Yuko's head, and his whole body was trembling from side to side, as if he was about to make some moves, Sakura Masao suddenly felt a chill on his back for no reason.

In the pre-written program, the robot cannot approach humans and act like this, it will only complete a few simple conversations to test the level of intelligence on the Turing test. Hell, how did this robot act on its own?

Sakura Masao faintly felt that something was wrong, and at this time, his mind flashed the last pale face of his beloved wife Eriko: "Masao, protect Yuko." ”

Thinking of this, he shouted, "Be careful! ”

"What's wrong, Dad?" Yuko turned her head to look at her father with a blank expression. And the robot behind her, the heavy steel arm had reached her head. If the arm just knocks down, or falls because it fails, the consequences are unimaginable.

In a panic, Masao Sakura picked up an iron rod next to him and smashed it into the robot's head, doing so to destroy the central processing unit of the robot's head.

With a loud bang, the robot's head was slapped with a stick, flashing a dazzling electric spark, and then the line was short-circuited, and the entire head began to burn, and the alarm sounded at the scene.

"Get out of there!" After Sakura Masao finished speaking, he ran to his laptop and clicked on the keyboard twice, cutting off the program.

Then, the moment the robot was about to touch Yuko's head, it completely stopped moving.

"Yuko! Are you okay? Masao Sakura rushed over and pulled Yuko away from the robot.

Yuko shook her head, staring blankly at the robot that was already in a state of failure and kept ghosting.

β€œM…… M…… M......" The robot's electronic eyes were still looking at Yuko intently, muttering some letters in his mouth, and the mechanical joints on his body were spinning in a click.

"Damn!"

Seeing that the robot still didn't plan to give up approaching Yuko, Sakura Masao scolded and picked up the big iron bar in his hand again.

"Don't!" Yuko tries to stop her father, but fails, only to see Masao Sakura go down with a stick and smash the barrel robot's head flat.

He threw the stick to the ground, his chest heaving violently, panting for breath, while Yuko stared blankly at the smashed robot.

"What's the matter, Yuko, why did the robot suddenly react like this?" Masao Sakura looked at his daughter.

There is absolutely no such code in the program he wrote, but the robot doesn't make actions out of thin air, so he guesses if Yuko added something to the program again?

After hearing this, Yuko whispered timidly: "This...... Maybe it's because I added the [Tears of Truth] I wrote to the program......"

"You're messing around!" Masao Sakura shouted excitedly, "Didn't I ask you to delete all those crooked ways?" ”

"But father, it doesn't seem to have any ill will towards me."

"No malice? If I hadn't made a move just now, I'm afraid your head would have been screwed off by that big piece of iron by now! ”

"But......" Yuko's big eyes gradually filled with tears, which made Sakura Masao soften his heart a little.

"Okay, don't say it, I won't allow you to put yourself in danger anymore, you know? You've gotten weirder and weirder since the orphanage incident, Yuko...... I've lost your mom and can't afford to lose you anymore. ”

Yuko, who was about to continue arguing with Masao Sakura, saw her father's vicissitudes of old face, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

"Got it......"

After this thrilling experiment, Masao Sakura restricted Yuko's experimental permissions, but he could vaguely detect that Yuko was still looking for an opportunity to develop True Tears.

Therefore, the quarrels between the father and daughter gradually became more.

……

Masao Sakura's thoughts returned to reality, and he sighed as he looked at the dusty Android barrel robot in the corner.

"Jingle Bell Bell Ring!"

At this time, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Masao Sakura lights up the screen and discovers that the other party is an old friend of Huaxia Kingdom. Masao once entrusted this old friend to help him find his daughter.

Is there any news from Yuko? His mind raced, and he quickly clicked the answer button.

After a while of greetings, the other party said, "Dr. Sakura, although I haven't found Yuko's whereabouts in eastern Asia for the time being, I have found something else. ”

"What discovery?"

"Ryo Suzuki."

The man on the other side of the phone said the name calmly, and a gleam flashed in Sakura Masao's eyes.

This young man, who was once a proud protΓ©gΓ© and has been pursuing his daughter for many years, actually appeared in the place where the singer haunts?

And speaking of this place, it seems that when the satellite of the Gohime company was destroyed before, the source of the attack also came from eastern Asia, is all this really just a coincidence?

"Okay, I see, thank you old friend." Masao Sakura pondered for a moment and continued: "I have plans to participate in academic exchanges in your country in the near future, do you have any major events in your country recently?" ”

"Recently, at the Clover Exhibition Center in Donghai City, an international civil science and technology expo will be held, and there are still some places for the scientist forum of that expo, if you need it, I can help you arrange it."

"Understood, then please help me get a place."

Masao Sakura hung up the phone, exhaled heavily, and then turned to look at the wreckage of the old robot.

"Yuko, you must be safe."

……

On Sunday, for Lu Fan, who just participated in the mobile game account auction yesterday, today was not an idle day - yesterday he promised Ilya and his sister Futaba to invite them to a hot pot dinner.

Lu Fan searched for a long time on the map, and took them to a well-known time-honored hot pot restaurant in Dongshan District - Xifeng Shun.

Hot pot is a dish that has been handed down since ancient times, and until now, it is also a very popular food of the people of Longteng country. Especially in autumn, when the weather slowly gets colder, it is a good time to eat hot pot to nourish the body.

In front of the antiquely decorated archway of the Xifeng Shun hot pot restaurant, Lu Fan and the two girls reconciled.

Futaba's outfit today hasn't changed, it's the same as when she went to the auction yesterday, but Ilya has changed into a loose tutu skirt. That cute appearance provoked passers-by to look around.

"Are you so serious about wearing a hot pot for a hot pot?" Lu Fan complained.

"No road race, wearing it like this is to let go of eating." Ilya patted her little belly. Lu Fan thought about it carefully, wearing a puffy skirt can indeed liberate his stomach.

"Are you exaggerating?"

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly saw that Ilya's small body was a little unstable and swaying, and the cat's ears were listlessly drooping.

"What's going on, isn't there something uncomfortable?" Lu Fan's face changed.

Ilya pouted and replied, "I haven't eaten since last night since I decided to come to eat hot pot, and now I'm dizzy from hunger." ”

"Give me a serious meal!"

"There is no road race, but whenever others invite me to dinner, I have always insisted on making myself an iron law."

"What iron law?"

"Push the wall in, support the wall out."
