Chapter Eighty-Nine: Before the Meeting
It wasn't until the voice had ended for a while that the five in the room finally reacted. However, when they came back to their senses, they still didn't seem to believe what they had just heard, and Pavro was even more stupid and directly confirmed: "They are- allow us to move freely?" As soon as the words fell, the woman was stunned and continued, "And—you want to meet us?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, that's what they just said." Thinking back to what he had just heard, Gezio nodded uncertainly, "However, judging from the meaning of the words, it seems that the reason for Sargincha's meeting with us this time is to ask us to help him solve some trouble?" ”
"Yes." Mo was still as silent as before, but that single word confirmed Gziol's claim.
"What a joke!" At this time, Mondcombe, who also recalled what Satkincha had just said, suddenly lost his previous listlessness, and said in an angry tone, "They ignored us when they didn't need us before, and now they need us to solve the trouble before they come up with a shy face, why should we help them?" Captain, we can't just say yes to Sarkincha, because they're going to think we're too easy to bully. ”
"But have you ever wondered if if we just rejected each other outright, would they continue to lock us up here out of anger?" The woman asked.
"This—" Mondcomb didn't know what to answer, and after a moment of thought he could only say this, "In short, we can't easily accede to Sarkincha's request. ”
"Let's see what they're asking for." Géziol did not give a clear answer to Mondcombe's suggestion, and then continued, "I'm curious, what trouble does Sargincha need our help with?" And, I don't know if you heard it clearly, but they also mentioned that this trouble is actually related to us. You know, we've never met Satkincha since we've been here, how did they get into trouble with us? ”
"Repair the tower." Two words popped out of Mo's mouth.
"It's not impossible." Receiving a silent reminder, Gezio immediately thought of the key to it, "Maybe the people in the ark have realized that a few of us have been arrested, so they are causing trouble for Sakincha on the planet, so they need a few of us to come forward to solve it." ”
"Doesn't that mean we'll be able to go back soon?" Mondcombe said in surprise.
"I'm afraid — it's not that simple." Gezio whispered worriedly, but no one noticed what he said. For as he spoke, the locked hatch was opened. Appearing at the door was a robot of a special shape that several people had never seen before. As soon as it appeared, the five of them heard a voice identical to the one they had heard in the previous announcement.
"Distinguished guests, please come with me." After saying this, I saw that the robot walked out directly without stopping at all, and then stood at the door and waited quietly for Geziol and the others to appear.
Then, the five men looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally, it was Gezio who walked out first......
Following behind the robot, this time, the five people who were a little more relaxed than before were finally able to relax and observe their current environment. After observing it for a moment, Mondcomb whispered, "The environment here looks a little similar to our Ark, well—at best, it's a little more spacious than the Ark." ”
"What's so strange about this, isn't the ark of Sakincha where we are now?" The woman answered as a matter of course.
"But I really can't imagine that the internal structure of a mechanical civilization ark is not much different from ours." Mondcombe said, and then he suddenly remembered a very interesting question, "By the way, what do you think the Sargincha we're going to see in a moment looks like?" ”
"What? Isn't that it? Pavro said as he gestured to the robot leading the way.
"Uh-well, when I didn't say it." Mondcomm stared dumbfounded, "I'm stupid to discuss the appearance of a mechanical civilization. ”
"Maybe the Sakincha we're going to see doesn't look like this." Geziol looked at the robot in front of him and said thoughtfully, "They should be designed according to their function, at least the one in front of us is completely different from what we saw before." ”
"Don't guess." Suddenly, the voice from the robot startled the five people, "You can't guess what you're going to see next." ”
"You, you—you're self-conscious?" Mondcombe was surprised.
"Aren't you talking nonsense, aren't you saying we're a mechanical civilization? If we are called mechanical civilizations, if we do not have autonomous consciousness, then can we still be called mechanical civilizations? The robot replied solemnly......
At the same time, Zhou Xin and his party, who were already waiting for the arrival of five people in the conference room, were learning some important information from Atlas.
"Brother Captain, judging from the conversations between those people recorded during this time. The civilization on this planet beneath our feet seems to call us 'Sakincha'. And, according to the latest information available, the other side seems to believe that we are a purely mechanical civilization. ”
"Mechanical civilization?" Zhou Xin's face was strange and he said, "They actually treat us as a mechanical civilization? ”
"Before, we thought of them as artificial intelligence, but now it's the other way around." Spreed's tone was a little helpless, and he asked, "How did they think of us as mechanical civilizations?" ”
"The specific situation is unknown, according to people's speculation, maybe it's because no normal person has ever appeared in front of each other before." The little girl replied uncertainly, "What is even more strange is that when the subject of 'Sakincha' is discussed, there is a deep fear that flows from the words of those people. ”
"Fearful? How can it be? Haven't we been being suppressed by each other since we came here? When did you show a threat to them? Zhou Xin felt a little confused.
Just when Zhou Xin was bothering to think about the reason, Atlas's voice sounded in his ears, "Brother Captain, they are already at the door......"
